Chapter 122 One-on-one Wallace (1)
Chapter 122: Fighting Wallace (Part 1)
The person in front of him was one head taller than Jiang Jun. He was wearing a No. 3 jersey and hugged his arms in front of his chest. Although his whole arm was not thick, he was knotted with muscles. He looked like an amazing type of explosive power. His skinny face showed arrogance and glanced at Jiang Jun sideways. He was the core player of the Bobcats. He was the hero of the playoffs this season - Gerald Wallace.
Before Jiang Jun came, he still had some understanding of the main players of the Bobcats. Seeing Wallace, the following information flashed into his mind:
He is 201 meters tall, 27 years old, and was selected by the Kings with the 25th overall pick in the first round of 2001. He was runner-up in the 2002 All-Star Dunk Contest. He joined the Bobcats in 2004 and won the NBA regular season steals per game in the 2005-2006 season. He was selected as the first team of the NBA's best defensive team in 2010 and was selected as the 2010 NBA All-Star Game. He is the first All-Star player since the Bobcats were founded.
"I was aggressive when I met for the first time. It seems that this guy is not easy to deal with!"
Jiang Jun was very unhappy with Wallace's words, but he didn't want to act too arrogant as soon as he came, so he asked with a faint smile: "Why can't I change to Tyson?"
"Because your value is far less than Tyson!" Wallace took away his right arm from the chest, stretched out a finger, pointed at Jiang Jun and pointed at him twice, and said disdainfully.
Some of the other players who trained with Wallace looked at Jiang Jun contemptuously, some were unrelated to their own affairs, and some seemed to be worried about Jiang Jun. Jiang Jun took everyone's expressions one by one.
"A paralyzed Japanese, I'm polite to you. You're still excited, so don't blame me for being merciless."
Jiang Jun was unhappy, but the smile on his face was even brighter, "Oh? What is the value of Tyson? Let's hear it?"
"Tyson is our starting center. He can defend! He can grab rebounds! He can inspire the morale of the team!" Wallace said fiercely: "And what are you?"
Old Harris hurriedly said: "Gerard, please don't treat a rookie like this!"
Wallace looked at Harris coldly and said, "I hope the team can understand that without good players, there is no way to achieve good results! We just entered the playoffs, why did Tyson be replaced!"
Just as Harris was about to speak, Jiang Jun raised his hand and signaled him not to defend himself. Harris stopped talking.
When Wallace saw Harris obeying Jiang Junyan, he felt even more annoyed, so he snorted from his nose.
"Mr. Wallace, you are rude to me. That is your upbringing problem. I won't bother with you for the time being. But I want to ask you: Since Tyson can do so much, why don't you defend or grab rebounds?" Jiang Jun asked, with a faint smile on his face.
"Of course I also defend and grab rebounds, and I still have to score points! And you, I don't know what you can do when you come to this court?" Wallace didn't want to answer Jiang Jun's words, but when he saw Jiang Jun's expression, he felt a little angry and couldn't help but say it.
Jiang Jun turned around and asked Higgins: "Mr. General Manager, how much is Mr. Wallace's score this season?"
Although Higgins was a little bit 2 during the negotiations, his memory was amazing. He immediately said without thinking: "Gerard performed well. This season, he averaged 18.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.5 steals. Among them, the highest score in his career and the highest in our team."
Wallace couldn't help but look proud on his face.
Jiang Jun grinned and showed a playful smile: "18 points?"
Suddenly his face changed and he asked seriously: "Wallace, your highest average score in the season is only 18 points? Look at other teams, which team has the highest scorer as bad as you? You need such a little point. Do you dare to say that your level is very high? Do you dare to say that it helps the team very much?"
What Jiang Jun said is a fact. In the NBA team, the chief scorers of most teams have high scores, usually more than 20 points. Wallace has no way to defend this.
However, he still argued: "Our coach Larry attaches importance to defense, and our team entered the playoffs for the first time this year!"
"Playoffs? You're so embarrassed to say it! He was swept 4-0 by the Magic? You are so powerful, why can't you even win a victory?" Jiang Jun asked.
Only then did the bystanders realize Jiang Jun's power. In the NBA, it is tradition for old players to bully rookies. Generally, rookie players will consciously do some service work for old players within their ability, such as helping to buy breakfast, carrying bags, etc.
However, this Jiang Jun did not seem to have such "consciousness" at all. Not only did he retort with cleverness, he also did not even have a look of fear, but he actually suppressed the veteran Wallace in his momentum.
When Wallace heard Jiang Jun mention his record, he couldn't say anything, so he had to say, "Don't you know, does the Magic have Howard?"
Jiang Jun sneered: "You mean the Bobcats are not playing well in the interior? Then if you change to Tyson, it should be a move to improve the team's combat effectiveness! You should support it!"
Wallace was speechless. In fact, this year, when he faced the Magic, Brown's targeted arrangement and his defense against Warcraft was very good, which led to the performance of Warcraft being limited. The data plummeted a lot compared to the regular season. But even so, the gap in overall strength still made the Bobcats swallow four bullets in a row.
Jiang Jun was unforgivable and continued: "As an NBA player, how can you be satisfied with entering the first round of the playoffs? As a chief scorer, how can your score be so low? As a team leader, you do not give advice on the development of the team, but instead quarrel with rookies here and affect the morale of the team! If I were you, try to improve your level! Instead of whining to me here!"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this. I have to admit that Jiang Jun’s words made sense, and He Mike even gave a thumbs up in secret.
However, he said that the core and heroes of a team are useless, and everyone thinks something is wrong.
Wallace's face turned into a pig's liver. He shouted in anger, "What about you, can the team improve your record by exchanging you?"
When everyone heard this, yes, that's the reason. If you criticize others in a mess and speak like a sinner in history, what about you? You will be the one who saved the world?
Jiang Jun's face was calm, and he slowly turned his head and looked around for a week before he said with a slight slump: "Yes! I'm here to help the team! I won't tolerate the team of Michael Jordan, the God of Basketball, being swept in the first round of the playoffs! I won't let the Bobcats fans be disappointed again and again! At the same time, I won't let our team's economic benefits always be at the end of the league! So, my goal is to win the league championship! It's to win a huge fan market!"
Jiang Jun had already prepared these words in the training camp and had conducted drills secretly many times. This was passionate and fluent.
However, while everyone was excited, they couldn't help but curl their lips, thinking that this was just standing and talking without hurting their backs!
Wallace laughed furiously: "Ha, what a big tone! Do you think the NBA is your Chinese arena, and you can do whatever you want? What ability do you have to show it out in advance! Do you dare to fight with me? I can give you 5 goals!"
When Jiang Jun heard this guy mentioning "China", he immediately became jealous and shouted: "Okay, I will fight you one-on-one today! Let you know what a high level means! You give me 5 goals? I think it should be that I will give you 5 goals!"
"No! No! Jiang, you can't be so impulsive!"
Higgins and Harris Old were a little anxious. They really didn't want to see Jiang Jun having a big conflict with the team boss just after coming, which was not conducive to his future development. In their opinion, no matter how potential Jiang Jun has, he could not be the opponent of NBA veteran Wallace. If the boss Jordan knew about this, he would definitely criticize them.
However, Jiang Jun was determined to teach Wallace a lesson. He stretched out his right hand and made a downward move, and understated it: "It doesn't matter, this is just a training exchange between players. If he doesn't fight with him, I think Mr. Wallace will not give up, and he can't understand why the team traded me!"
Higgins and Harris had to give up. He Mike was full of confidence in Jiang Jun, even if his opponent was a real NBA player.
Jiang Jun also attaches great importance to this bullfight. He has never fought with real NBA players before. Although he is very confident, he still makes sufficient preparations.
After taking out a set of uniforms from the travel bag and putting them in, Jiang Jun carefully prepared the event. He knew that although Wallace gave the fans the impression of being a desperate Saburo, he seemed to be more powerful in defense, but in fact his offense was still very talented. He was proficient in bounce, speed, dunk, and was very comprehensive. He could be said to be a rare forward player.
Excellent physical condition makes Wallace the core players of the young Bobcats on both ends of offense and defense. His shooting, scoring and dunks are ranked first in the team, and it also makes him a favorite among fans. It is said that in addition to organizing the defender, other positions can be used as the starting lineup!
An NBA expert once commented on Wallace, saying that he is a player with a strong sense of position. He can make a dunk when playing offensive guards, and can make a fast attack when playing small forwards, but he still cannot do without dunk when playing power forwards. Although he does not make a dunk when playing center forwards, he can prevent others from dunking with outstanding explosive power!
And now, Jiang Jun is going to have a big pk with such a hot guy!
[501 Collection! Excluding about 30 friendly collections, it should be said that it is still good. It’s strange that I have good grades and feel strong, although my throat hurts a lot. Thank you for your support. Tanhua wishes everyone a happy Valentine’s Day!]
