Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 141 [Nets Training Camp]

As soon as the news of Wang Jun receiving guidance from Kidd's home came out, Chinese fans were very excited, as if they saw a bright future for him.

Originally, because Wang Jun sprayed Huaizhou Sports School, people who said he had a bad personality and the media were slapped in the face. People with problematic character will have such good popularity?

Some people also questioned that Wang Jun was too popular, mainly because of Theron's Chinese fans.

The pairing of Wang Jun and the goddess is the pride of Chinese men, but someone photographed him eating and shopping with Abby.

Although Abby is amazing, her reputation is not as good as that of a goddess.

On September 23, 2003, the Nets held a Media Day event, and all players appeared together.

The core of the team took a group photo, with Kidd in the middle, Jefferson and Martin on both sides. They will be the core of the team in the new season, continuing the trident of last season.

Both Martin and Jefferson were friendly to Wang Jun, which made him feel at ease.

After reading the news, they understand that Kidd intends to take care of the little brother, which is the way they have traveled. Without Kidd, they don't know if they can reach their current heights in the short term.

In the Nets, only Kidd followed suit.

Kittles spoke rather flatly. He was a little unwilling and chose two rookies. He suspected that this was a precursor to his being purged.

Korver and Wang Jun spoke shyly and ugly.

As soon as Wang Jun came, he felt bad. So far he has not been signed, and he may be laid off.

This time, there were 18 people representing the Nets in the preseason, but in the end, there were at most 15 people left, and 12 of them had received contracts. The competition was very fierce.

Korver will compete with Doug Overton, Davin Brown, Robert Pike, Anthony Goldwyer, Temar Slee and others.

On the 24th, the Nets practiced publicly, and fans came to watch the game, and the stadium was packed to the brim.

Nets owner Lewis Katz delivered a speech announcing the start of training camp.

Lewis was very low-key, only encouraging players to go all out, and did not mention the championship. With the F4 Lakers around, any team claiming to win the championship will be called arrogant. He knows the truth of being big and attracting attention.

It's a pity that his low-key exchange was booed by the fans, too many people were dissatisfied with the summer deal.

The Nets' two trips to the finals proved that the starting configuration was good. The two losses were largely due to poor substitutes. In the second quarter, no one could lead the offense.

It's not that the Nets don't have signing opportunities or goals. There are veterans in the free market who want a championship and are willing to go to a strong team with a basic salary. In the summer, the Clippers even encountered a collective job-hopping situation. Andre Miller, Odom and Olavokandi all refused to renew their contracts and leave the team.

The inaction of the Nets management disappointed the fans.

The training of the Nets is similar to that of Wang Jun in college. They first warm up, then practice shooting and layups, and finally fight against each other in groups.

The public training session is not mainly about rehearsing tactics, and most NBA teams will keep some secrets.

The Nets actually have nothing to keep. Coach Byron Scott is a young coach. He is good at two tactics, quick counterattack and pick-and-roll.

In the training match, the players wear black and white vests with distinct colors.

Wang Jun is on the bench side of the black vest, waiting on the bench.

Jason Collins, Rodney Rogers, Davin Brown, and Lucios Harris went first.

Mourning also came to training today. He looked a lot thinner than before he got sick, and was assigned to the starting side. The four teammates are Jefferson, Martin, Kittles and Kidd.

The tactics of both sides are the same, pick and roll, fast break.

After only three minutes of playing, the score reached double digits.

Kidd is the team's commander, leading the white team to firmly control the situation.

Rousios played well last season and was the most reliable substitute.

He averaged 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and all the statistics are career peaks. However, what he is good at is playing with the ball, more like a shooting guard.

Korver and Rodney opened the corners on both sides and were able to shoot three-pointers. Collins ran out of position several times after covering, but couldn't pass the ball, leaving his teammates to stand outside.

Scott watched the game, very depressed. Once Kidd is off the court, the Nets' offense will become unsmooth, and this problem is difficult to solve.

Martin and Jefferson received dunks from Kidd's pass, and the fans were hooked. Kittles also passed Korver in the counterattack and hit two mid-range shots and one three-pointer.

Rousios singled out Kidd with poor efficiency, 0 of 4 shots, and only Brown grabbed an offensive rebound from the bench and scored a goal in the second attack. 2 to 15.

Scott was dissatisfied with the player's performance and chose to make a substitution. Kidd and Rusios switched to bring a substitute, and Wang Jun also replaced Brown.

Brown, who is 206cm tall, was selected by the 76ers in the second round of 2001 and was cut after the end of last season. He weighs only 91 kilograms and has poor defense.

The situation changed immediately.

Wang Jun and Collins side screened and ran, and just got rid of Jefferson and received Kidd's lateral transfer ball. Mourning didn't switch to the perimeter, he's a center who likes to guard the low post.

Wang Jun made almost no adjustments, caught the ball and made an emergency stop for a jumper, and made a 60-degree three-pointer on the right side. 5 to 15.

Rucios stopped playing with the starter and passed the ball to Jefferson.

Jefferson is 201cm tall and weighs 101kg. He is good at breaking through and has a strong impact. Once counterattacked, he is faster than Wang Jun.

Wang Jun recalled the defensive essentials taught by Kidd, using technology to suppress the opponent's speed.

If the footsteps are too close, the correct approach is to imagine yourself sitting on a chair and keep your feet flexible so that you have a chance to stop your opponent.

Wang Jun lowered his center of gravity and took a step and a half away. Jefferson buried his head in the breakthrough. He combined the small steps of the pace training and got stuck on the breakthrough route and prevented it.

Jefferson gave the ball to Kittles, who hung it to Mourning, and singled out Collins in the low post.

Collins is noticeably shorter than Mourning. His courage to falsely report his height is admirable. Putting on height-increasing shoes, insoles, and two pairs of socks, this guy's height of 204cm was actually registered as 213cm.

If it was Mourning at his peak, he leaned back twice and squeezed into the basket, which might be a dunk. But after the kidney disease, his strength has weakened, he squeezed a bit, turned around and threw the shot and missed under the interference.

Collins immediately turned around and stuck Mourning away from the basket, Deroni also stuck Martin, Kidd withdrew back and grabbed the rebound, and played in a calm position.

Taking it to the frontcourt, Kidd covered the basketball with his back, and then waited for Wang Jun to move, and Martin defended him.

Kidd passed the ball to Rodney in the bottom corner, and he made an empty cut from the middle to the inside, preparing to grab the offensive rebound.

Mourning saw Kidd make an air cut and missed the three-point line. Rodney shot from the left and the ball bounced into the frame. 8 to 15.

Kidd knows the characteristics of his teammates and can always distribute the ball to the most reasonable place.

Rodney is a power forward with a height of 201 cm. He is highly mobile and good at defending against pick-and-rolls. In 2000, he won the best sixth man in the Suns. He averaged 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and his three-point command rate was as high as 43.9%.

As soon as Kidd left the Suns, Rodney's numbers began to decline. After the contract expired, he joined the Nets and wanted to get back to his past state. It's a pity that with Martin here, he can only play as a substitute, and the statistics are even worse. Now the offense can only be a spot-up shooter on one side, which is still somewhat useful.

Just changed one person, and immediately became a substitute pressing the starter. The Nets are so dependent on Kidd.

When Wang Jun returned to the defense, he sighed in his heart, if only he could learn Kidd's ability to control the situation.
