The Big Ten Conference Finals are as brutal as the NCAA Championships.As regular season champions, Wolverines get the benefit of playing at home.The finals attracted the media, and both Michigan Sports and Illinois Sports will be broadcast live.The player's "stage" is getting bigger and bigger.The 9,300-seat Chrysler Center Arena was packed.Not only Wolverine fans, but also some Illinois fans were in attendance.Wolverines and Illinois are known rivals throughout the United States, and both schools compete fiercely in NCAA competitions.Before the game, Simon Dulles, a commentator for Michigan Sports Channel, chatted about gossip."
Wolverines head coach David Hornacek's hometown is Elmhurst, Illinois, and he played for the University of Illinois as a young man, and now he's going to lead the Wolverines to beat his hometown team."
Another commentator, Justin Baldwin, laughed: "The atmosphere was very lively, we saw a lot of fans pulling banners in support of their favorite players, and Chinese player Wang Jun is very popular in the local area. ”"It's all because of that 61-point game, and I think Carman is the heart of the Wolverine, and if he didn't attract the defense, the outside players wouldn't have had as many opportunities," Simon said.The dominance he has shown this season has been astonishing.And Wang relied too much on shooting in the game, and his role was relatively simple. ”Simon's commentary is somewhat biased, unwilling to admit that Wang Jun is key in the Wolverine.Although Wang Jun did not succeed in dunking in the game and had few breakthroughs, he was an important part of the team's offensive system.The record speaks for itself, with the same lineup, the Wolverines were still weak last season, and this year they have become a hegemon in the top ten leagues.Could it be that such a big improvement depends on the collective progress of the senior players, and the fans in the stands are divided into several factions, and the most support for Kaman and Wang Jun is the most.Chinese fans put up a banner of "Wang Junv" in the audience.Wang Jun did not have much contact with Chinese and Chinese students, but they all regarded Wang Jun as Chinese representative in Michigan.Illinois fans have the most banners in support of Cook, and as Mr.
Illinois Basketball, he is an alternative interior player with a soft style of play but a strong scoring ability.Rookie Deron Williams also has a lot of fans, and he is one of the super newcomers who have emerged this year.When the players played, Wang Jun received warm applause, Simon pretended not to see it, and talked about the two inside lines, Kaman and Cook."
As long as he continues to be in form, Kaman is likely to be drafted in the top 10 or even the top 5.Cook is seen as an interior player like Robert Horry, who is very good at shooting and has the potential to make it to the lottery, and the first round is certainly not a problem, and many teams need this kind of big man who can open up space, he just needs to adapt to the pace of the game and improve his defense. ”Justin asked, "What do you think Wang Jun will be in the draft?"
There is news that he plans to join the NBA this summer. ”Simon was somewhat dismissive.Height is more awkward as a swingman, and he must have better technique to get a chance in individual offense.He can't handle the ball, not many teams will be interested in him, and his defense may not be able to adapt to an NBA-caliber game. ”Justin nodded."
It's true that if he wants to perform in the NBA, he needs to be thinner, just by looking at his body type, he feels that he has a high fat content."
In the general perception of NBA scouts and coaches, a player's fat content should not exceed 8, and it is clear that Wang Jun is over-the-top.After the warm-up, the managers of both sides used the last minute to emphasize tactics.Bill Servef arranged: "Luther, today you don't just wait on the perimeter for an opportunity to shoot a three.If they let Wang Jun guard the inside, you are facing their power forward or small forward, and whoever defends you is misplaced.Delon can also be singled out, and their point guard isn't a big deal. ”In both regular season games, both of the Wolverine's point guards were blown out by Deron Williams.He is a peculiar point guard, 191 tall and weighs 95 kilograms, making him stronger than many small forwards.He can use his body to eat short people, and he can also dribble past players who are taller than him.It is precisely because of his strong confrontation ability that Delong has vaguely become the outside core of the team in just the first year.Some believe that his template is Byron Davis, who became a quasi-star.David focused on DeLong's defense and put Gordon back in the starting lineup, and Luke 178 was only hard to eat.He encouraged: "Gordon, you don't shoot bad in training, you have to be calm and play at a normal level when you come on the court.You don't need to take on too many tasks to attack today, find a way to entangle Delon, don't let him break through easily.Offense will be given to King or Mike after half the court, and you must make bold shots when you are empty, understand?"
”"Wang, you have to pay attention to changing the defense today, Cook will definitely pull to the perimeter, you are faster than Chris, prevent going out and interfering with the outside shot, especially Hyde must not let go, everyone pay attention to this."
David went on to say, "Blocking the offense, Chris cut to the basket.If it is Hyde's main defense king, Wang can go to the low post to ask for the ball to play alone, I believe you can single-handedly pick up Hyde, attract the assistant defense and pass to the middle, Bobby station in the middle. ”Bobby's second-half shooting percentage of his high-post jumper improved a lot, and he practiced it during the holidays.He couldn't shoot, and he was able to break through with the ball in the middle thanks to his excellent mobility.Bobby has a height advantage, can also send blocks, and does a good job of containing fast breaks.Carman can rely on his physical advantage to get inside, and he may grab a rebound in the front court if he can't receive a pass, and launch a secondary attack.In David's tactical system, the division of labor between players is much clearer than in previous seasons.Players from both sides stood in the middle of the field.Hyde whispered beside Wang Jun: "Chinese Yankee, don't think that you can win the championship after winning two games in the regular season, today I will pass you again and again" Wang Jun knew that this was the coach who asked for strict defense of Hyde, who was thinner than he imagined, and said with a smile: "Do you dare to defend against me, don't just talk big, let your teammates play when defending." ”"You'll soon be unable to laugh."
Hyde said coldly.Wolverines starters: Gordon, Wang Jun, Harris, Bobby, Carman.Illinois starters: Deron, Hyde, Roger Powell, James Augustine, Brian Cook.The referee tosses the ball and the game begins.Carman jumped the ball to beat Cook, and Wolverine attacked first.The two interior lines withdrew from the basket according to the tactical arrangement, and sure enough, it was Wang Jun, the main defense of Hyde.As long as Hyde starts in the No. 2 position, the coach can only arrange it like this, he is only 191 tall and weighs 80 kilograms, and if he goes to defend Harris, the misalignment is even worse.Delon doesn't defend the No. 2 position because of offense, and Chubby can bully the opposing point guard when counterattacking.Wang Jun didn't look for cover, and went directly to the right side to ask for the ball at 45 degrees.Harris hoisted the ball in, and Wang Jun leaned his back against Hyde and quickly turned to the baseline.His explosiveness didn't increase much, but his movements were smoother than before, squeezing his opponent with his body.Hyde's body was congenitally deficient, and he was easily turned by Wang Jun as soon as he hit it.Wang Jun leaned on Hyde and jumped up with the ball in both hands.Hyde has a strong bounce power, jumping with all his strength and wanting to block from behind, one hand unconsciously pressed Wang Jun's shoulder, Wang Jun divided his two hands, covered with his left hand, and hit the board with his right hand with one hand.This is learned from Carman, which can resist interference, provided that you can hold the basketball with one hand.The referee's whistle sounded, and Wang Jun forced the ball to throw it cleanly, opening with 21:
