Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh [perfect full stop]
The situation in the Eastern Conference playoffs is very subtle. The Nets lead the Magic 39-38 one game, and the Wizards also won 39 times, ranking seventh in line with their record advantages.`
If the Nets defeat the Bulls in the last game and the Wizards lose to the Pacers, they will rise to seventh in the Eastern Conference with 4O wins, not only entering the playoffs, but also avoiding encountering the Bulls.
The Bulls can also play the Wizards in the round and are recognized as the weakest playoff team.
But if the Nets lose and the Magic wins, it will be a bad thing. When the two sides face each other, the Magic leads the Nets 3-1, and they will replace the Nets to enter the playoffs.
If the Bulls don’t let the water go, the Nets will be in a tragedy.
Will the Bulls win one less game in order to help the Nets?
Nets boss Bruce Ratner was extremely depressed. Since he bought the Nets, he has been scolded by fans all day long and has not encountered any good things. The Nets' attendance rate is not as good as the Knicks, whose record is at the bottom, and the advertising fee is low, and it has not played the role of advertising for his real estate company.
Bruce now feels that he is really an idiot, so he shouldn't be involved in the basketball industry. It is difficult for people to succeed in areas that they are not familiar with.
Net team players all know the criticality of this game, but none of Wang Jun’s old teammates called him and asked him to let him go.
The player who won the 2004-year championship had a ring and had a kind of pride in his bones and was not allowed to speak out. Kidd and Jefferson were both like this. Collins was a blue-collar worker and didn't consider these things at all. Just play with the ball.
The person who wants to win the game most and wants to perform in the playoffs most is Carter.`
Carter is no longer as confident as before. He is worried that his condition will get worse in the future. In the summer, he plans to break out of the contract and become a restricted libero, and strive to sign a long-term contract. The loss of the playoffs will affect his value.
After Wang Jun arrived in New York, he moved into his apartment in Manhattan and chatted with his two sisters.
Since he got money, Wang Leying has been looking for a cardiologist and has taken the best medicine. Her complexion is much better than when she was in China. Her body has also become stronger and is not as thin as before.
Wang Jun also thanked Yuan Hao in particular. This boyfriend moved him very much. The two were in love with Plato, but he was still devoted to it. He didn't care about money, he just liked it.
Wang Leying was in a very good mood and was already considering the holiday. She asked: "Brother, do you still need to practice football this summer? Or do you have to take a holiday after the game?"
Wang Jun thought for a while and said, "It should be June holiday. I won't play games in the summer. I can practice my health appropriately. I can accompany you on vacation."
"Okay, let's go to Los Angeles together?" Song Ting clapped her hands.
"Is it too far to fly from New York to Los Angeles?" Wang Jun was a little worried about Le Ying's body.
"It's okay, I want to go, isn't it even further from China? I'm fine."
"All right."
Le Ying wants to go to Los Angeles to see Yuan Hao’s home and the environment there.`
Yuan Hao couldn't always stay in Manhattan, Wang Jun understood, so he agreed.
Abby sighed in his heart. He had to go with him, hoping not to meet Theron in Los Angeles.
That night, the last regular season game started.
Despite the certain ranking, Skeles still let the strongest lineup play against the Nets, wanting to ensure victory.
Meeting the Wizards or Magic in the playoff round is not a problem for the Bulls, but the only thing that is uncomfortable is the opponent.
So, they will never let go!
The Bulls vs. Nets game attracted the attention of major media, and reporters believe there is news to dig.
Whenever Wang Jun plays away from the net team, he will be booed by home fans. This time the players appear, the fans booed even more. Because he will lead the team to stage a scene of sending his old club to fish in the regular season.
Before the start, Yu Jia commented: "The fans of the Nets are really interesting. Wang Jun didn't want to leave, but the Bulls who were traded. Although Ben Gordon was not strong and the two draft picks were not selected, what does that have to do with him?"
Zhang Heli smiled and said, "The fans are just angry, but Wang Jun is not playing for the Nets, but if Wang Jun stays in the Nets, the three swingers are really unable to play, and the three of them have to drop. Jefferson might have to play the No. 4 position."
Without an excellent inside partner, no matter how strong the outside player is, he cannot win the championship. The boss of the Nets team just can't understand such a simple truth, so it's no wonder that the fans scold him.
Jefferson often plays the No. 4 position this season, playing small ball tactics with Gordon, Kidd and Carter.
At the beginning of the game, the Bulls are guarding the defense.
Moore has average physical fitness and is very thin and cannot play low, but he has a mid-range shot. In 2oo, he can only be a marginal player in the Nets for 24 years, and now he relies on his ability to shoot.
Man-to-person can limit high positions. Bulls players immediately switch defense after pick-and-roll. Strictly guarding against role players is the Bulls' magic weapon for defense this season, relying on five people on the court who are good at defense.
Lewis is the worst defense among the Bulls, and is still above the league average. The other four players rarely defend against losing positions alone.
Jefferson was stared at by Wang Jun.
When they first left the Nets, the two were not much different, but Wang Jun’s shooting was more accurate. Now that Wang Jun’s skills are getting better and better, Jefferson still plays on his body and impact, but his shooting is slightly better.
Wang Jun is close to him, and Jefferson can't pass by anyone at once. He either can't turn around or is blocked by Wang Jun's legs. He can only catch the ball and shoot directly, or if there is interference, this is not what he is good at.
When Wang Jun attacked, Carter struggled hard, and could not block one-on-one, and was passed several times. Carter's defense has been criticized, and Wang Jun threatened with three face frames, which he could not limit.
Kidd also had no advantage in single-handed fight against Hinrich, and could not surpass him, and his outside shots were also disturbed.
Moore is easier to deal with. He only needs to interfere with his shooting in the middle after pick-and-roll. He is not good at holding the ball and can only shoot at high mid-range shots, and his style of play is very monotonous.
As for Collins, he can be released at any time. Chandler can help the defender to prevent the people who are rushing in.
The Nets' three-pointers were Carter and Kidd, and the task of attacking with the ball was handed over to Jefferson. He was defended again and again and again and passed out of the periphery, only Carter swung to normal level.
The Bulls have the upper hand in the second quarter. David Lee and Weber took the substitute and played many internal passes and cooperation. Weber made high shots and David Lee played strongly at low posts. Whether it is Ben Gordon or Marcus Williams, they are not good at guarding.
Rookie inside Boone is not careful, Du Hong and Jones can still make three-pointers on the outside, and only Barnes plays the role of soybean on the offensive end, focusing on defense and following Gordon.
This season, Gordon no longer has the style of the best sixth man. He lacks scoring points when he is on the Bulls, and he has enough ball rights, which is the most shots in the team. On the Nets, he is just the third choice for offense, and overlaps with Jefferson and Carter.
He averaged only 26 minutes per game, with 1o2 points, 23 rebounds and 21 assists. He shot 443% from the field and 4o4% from the three-point shooting. He has good efficiency but not much effect because his defense is too poor and he can only play No. 2.
The Nets were defeated by the Bulls in the third quarter. The inside disadvantage was too obvious and they could only rely on the outside to score. Once the outside players' shooting percentage dropped, they would have to be slaughtered.
The final score was 113 to 8o, and the Nets ended the journey of the season in shame.
The Bulls won the 75th victory, bringing the perfect end to the regular season.
