Chapter 55: The Badger and the Wolverine


When they went to the Tulip Restaurant to eat together, Wang Jun and Theron chatted about China.Theron didn't deliberately play "Irene" and was much more cheerful.Some people make movies and get into the film, and they can't get out of it for a long time after filming.Theron is different, she can self-destruct her image for filming, but mentally she can always distinguish between inside and outside the play.Wang Jun thought that this was all the credit of his own enlightenment, and he had a sense of accomplishment and was in a good mood.That night, he traveled with the team to Madison, the capital of Wisconsin, to prepare for the second game against the University of Wisconsin.The names of the two teams are similar, and the difference is one word.The Wolverines had an adaptation training in the afternoon, and Wang Jun performed brilliantly, and his three-point shooting rate improved.After Jeff Hornacek's pointing, Wang Jun has a shooting experience, and the overall three-point shooting rate of receiving the ball is about 70, and the most accurate two points even reach 80, which is a bit of a "shooting relaxation card" feeling.The new assistant coach Ben Snell watched Wang Jun's shooting for a while and sighed: "His shooting is outstanding in college, and he can probably rank in the top ten among college students in the United States." ”"But he still has to work on improving his defense, and he has to defend it up to par to get a foothold in the NBA."

David said lightly.David followed the NCAA news, and it was not a good idea to participate in the 2003 draft, which was very competitive.The NCAA has a lot of outside players with a similar style to Wang Jun, such as UC's Jason Capo, Keller Korver of Creighton University, and Redick, a super rookie from Duke University.Also has the ability to shoot, Wang Jun's physical fitness will become an obstacle to the draft, and David did not elaborate on this to him, so as not to increase his psychological pressure.As soon as the Wolverine training ended, the University of Wisconsin Pin players also came to the training ground under the guidance of the coach.Last season, under a new manager, the Badgers tasted the Big Ten League championship for the first time since 1947, and they tied with Indiana, Illinois and Ohio State for the top spot in the Big Ten league regular season.The Badgers were eliminated in the second round of the NCAA and failed to make it to the Sweet 16.It's also much better than the Wolverine, which just barely made the playoffs.Sounds good, but it's actually eleven teams, and the top eight are in the playoffs."

Hello, Coach Hornacek."

Badgers coach Matthew Sandner stepped up to say hello to David."

Hello, Sandena.""

I heard that you beat the Spartans in the first game, and Chris Carman also got two double-doubles, which really scared me."

Matthew said that he was startled, but his expression was not a little frightened, but a little disdainful.Kaman chimed in: "Don't be careless, or you'll be scared of this game." ”Matthew laughed: "It's not a good habit to be arrogant just after playing a good game, we don't have players like you in the team." ”"So you can't win the championship."

Kaman was a little agitated and immediately fought back.Matthew smiled slightly, ignored Karman, looked at Wang Jun and said, "Is this your god pitcher I don't think he can win Charles, this year Charles has improved again, and he is ready to participate in the NBA draft." ”"We'll see tomorrow."

David clapped his hands and said to the players, "Let's go and get some rest." ”Wang Jun and Kaman walked side by side and asked: "You have a grudge against this coach" Karman gritted his teeth: "Not only that, I don't think their scoring guard Charles Brown is pleasing to the eye, we used to be in a high school, this guy is very arrogant, we must win this time." ”David followed from behind."

That's right, we have to win, there are three people on the Badgers team who should have joined our team.""

Why did they originally want to join, but then changed universities," Wang Jun asked curiously.The University of Michigan is much more prestigious than the University of Wisconsin.David smiled."

It's not because of the Michigan Five Tigers, but it's also an opportunity, otherwise I wouldn't be here to coach, and it's hard for you to join."

The Wolverine's inability to recruit high school stars directly began in 2000, and Davy took over as head coach a mess.With 11 seconds left in the final against North Carolina, Webb held the ball and called a timeout to the referee when he ran out of timeout, and was awarded a technical foul, and the two-point deficit of 71-73 suddenly turned into an irreparable defeat.An incident later gave an explanation for the technical foul.A gambler named Ed Martin who created the biggest stain on Webb's basketball career received black gold In 1997, according to the Detroit News, Martin opened secret casinos at Ford's engine factory and Chrysler's car factory to collect bets.According to the local government report, Martin opened underground casinos from 1988 to 1999 and made huge revenues.In 1999, FBI agents searched Martin's home and found $20,000 in cash, a loaded pistol, and some gambling records, which completely exposed Martin's underground estate.In April 2000, Martin and prosecutors reached an agreement to confess to a federal jury about many crimes, including giving money to the University of Michigan basketball team and admitting that he had interfered with the outcome of the game.Although Webb flatly denied it, Jalen Rose of the "Michigan Five" publicly admitted that he had received "pocket money" from Martin.Later, Traylor and Bullock admitted to the jury at trial that they had also taken out loans from Martin.The scandal not only discredited Weber, but also affected the University of Michigan, making it difficult to recruit top talent, and a century-old basketball team was on the verge of collapse.After the scandal broke, players who wanted to join the Wolverines retreated, and the University of Wisconsin, a direct beneficiary in 2000, absorbed three high school players that the Wolverines had a crush on, and their strength soared.Carman played badly in high school and was rejected by the University of Wisconsin, so he was desperate to prove himself.David instructed Carman: "Chris, don't be too eager to perform tomorrow.The style of the Badgers is the same as ours, with a large lineup of four small, three people are good at shooting three-pointers, the point guard is extremely fast, and the interior is also a good meat shield.You have to play together. ”Kaman's eyes were full of fanaticism. ”David's expression became serious., but the power is very strong, the arm span is also very good, you can score easily under the basket, I am ready to let you block and dismantle the whole game, shoot after high cover or cut inside, and then attack again if you are out of position. ”"Okay."

Seeing that the coach was displeased, Carman could only obey the order.David looked at Wang Jun again."

Wang, you are the key to winning or losing this game, and I want you to play a role on the defensive end."

Seeing the coach's solemn expression, Wang Junchai must not be an easy task."

Who am I going to defend" "The defense is still under the left basket, you have to switch to the high post at any time, and don't let their sophomore point guard Devin Harris go to the basket easily.That guy is very fast, a player who has started every game since his freshman year, and this year I heard that he has improved again. ”"How fast" David shook his head and smacked his lips, "It is said that he can run 10.5 seconds in 100 meters." ”As soon as I heard Wang Jun, I was blinded, this girl is a track and field athlete at all.The fastest Luke on the team ran 10.8 seconds in the test, which was surprising enough, and it was said that it was still a tailwind that day, and the normal speed was only about 11 seconds."

Can I keep up with such an opponent?"

"One-on-one is definitely not good, what you have to do is to pounce at any time to help defend the package, you can put him to shoot, his shooting is average." ”"Okay
