Chapter 359 [Report to the Boss]

The Nets defeated the Warriors and Jazz again, won four consecutive away games, and returned to the playoffs. ∈↗,

On February 1, the Nets beat the Bulls again, with a record of 25 wins and 20 losses, surpassing the Bulls to rank seventh in the Eastern Conference.

On February 2, the Nets played back-to-back against the Celtics.

Carter frequently hit the iron under the defense of Green Army rookie Tony Allen, and was very embarrassed by the defense. Wang Jun relied on cover to get rid of Pierce. The Green Army's insiders, whether LaFrentz or Mark Blunt, were not very good at defending pick-and-rolls.

Wang Jun scored 37 points and 5 rebounds from inside and outside, and the statistics are more beautiful than Pierce.

Kidd also beat Payton, scoring 22 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and the two led the team to victory.

Xu Xuejiao interviewed Wang Jun. He said: "The New Year is approaching. I haven't returned to China for three consecutive years. I can only celebrate the New Year abroad. I feel a little empty in my heart. At this time, I need to use more shots to make up for the emptiness. Fortunately, I feel good."

Xu Xuejiao complained in her heart, interviewed countless times, Wang Jun said a lot, and she forgot after she finished speaking, but others remembered it.

When he was in a bad mood, he said to take more shots to relieve; when he was in a good mood, he said to take more shots to celebrate; now that the mood is not bad, he should take more shots.

Will you find something else to express your feelings?

You just want to find a reason for more shots, right?

The reporters of the American sports media want to complain more.

The experts who originally predicted that Wang Jun would become a role player again when Carter came were all slapped in the face, and Carter and Wang Jun failed to grab the ball.

Carter will reduce his shots if he is strictly guarded, but Wang Jun tries his best to make shots, stably shooting 20+.

The Nets beat the 76ers and the Pistons at home.

It was easy to win these two games. Iverson was absent due to injury and failed to stage a big battle with Wang Jun again. He is currently second on the scoring list with 29.3 points per game.

The Pistons recently completed a deal that traded Campbell and a 2006 first-round pick for Jazz point guard Arroyo.

That's what Larry Brown asked for. At the Olympics, Arroyo led Puerto Rico's team to beat the US team in the opening game, which impressed him. The two teams also played two warm-up matches, and Arroyo's performance was also eye-catching, able to shoot suddenly.

But.

The Pistons now have two point guards, Billups and Hunter, and Arroyo's arrival will carve up Hunter's playing time.

Arroyo started 71 games for the Jazz last season, averaging 12.6 points and 5 assists per game. Despite signing a new contract with the team on July 14, Arroyo's role has changed considerably from last season. In only 16 games played on behalf of the Jazz this season, he averaged 8.2 points and 5.1 assists per game.

This is another stupid trade by Joe Dumars. What the Pistons need most is a shooting guard, a swingman who can shoot three-pointers and defend. Not point guard.

Arroyo also fell into the pit because of this. After being traded at the end of January, he played a few games. His data dropped to 5 points and 3 assists, and he played only 17 minutes.

In this game against the Nets, Arroyo and Hunter played double guards in the second quarter, but the Nets broke out from outside.

Wang Jun and Carter scored 30 and 34 points respectively, leading the team to a 110-85 victory.

After defeating the Kobe-less Lakers at home, the Nets' winning streak expanded to 10 games, with 29 wins and 20 losses.

New Jersey fans completely forgot about Richard Jefferson. It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not, the combination of Wang Jun and Carter can handle everything.

Some experts suggested that the Nets should trade Jefferson before the trade deadline, and switch to an insider who is good at defending against pick-and-rolls and can make mid-range shots, so that the lineup will be impeccable.

Immediately there was news that the Nets were about to trade with the Clippers and trade Jefferson for the Clippers' Chris Kamanga draft picks.

The Clippers failed to make the playoffs this season, Kittles became a fringe man, and his playing time was not as good as Quentin Rose, an outside blue-collar.

The news said that the Clippers wanted Jefferson in preparation for next season. If Jefferson and Maggette are on the outside line, they will have a strong impact and will become a qualified helper for Brand.

Some people think that this deal is impossible to reach, although Kittles' contract will expire after this season. But there is also Bobby Simmons who is worth playing on the team.

If Jefferson comes back, the Clippers will have three swingmen with similar styles, unless one of Maggette and Jefferson goes to a guest power forward.

After reading the news, Jefferson was going crazy. Why do so many people want him to play power forward? He is!

It's all because Marion of the Suns played so well, but his actual height is not yet. The success of the Suns has attracted many teams to try small ball tactics. Kaman is too slow for small ball.

Wang Jun called Kaman and asked about the possibility of a transaction.

"Chris, isn't this what the Clippers said on purpose? Have you heard?"

"I heard that if I can go to the Nets, I feel good. I'm definitely better than your Collins." Kaman sighed: "But I don't think the chance is great, unless the Clippers manager is crazy."

He just wants to escape from the Clippers now, and he can go anywhere, as long as he doesn't become a blue-collar under the pressure of Brand.

In fact, he still has a big role in the Clippers, but no one admits this. If he does go, let Brand play center and play small ball, it will be lively.

Regardless of Brand's long arms and many blocks, it's all because of defending the fourth position. He can help defend against blocks from the side, and the meat shield is Kaman's job.

Wang Jun smiled and said: "Wait and see, maybe you really came, I hope you can come."

"Me too."

The two are doomed to disappointment.

President Thorne once again reported the trade idea to the boss Bruce, hoping to reach a deal and exchange Kaman. He had talked with the Clippers before, and the other party was interested in Jefferson.

"Boss, this is an opportunity. We only need to send Richard away, and we can hit the championship again this season. When Richard comes back, the positions of the three must overlap. If we don't trade now, we have to send one away in the future." Suo En said seriously.

Bruce asked: "Don't the Clippers have no shortage of swingers? Why do they do this, have you thought about it?"

"Simmons is in a contract year. He definitely wants a big contract in the summer. The Clippers management is worried about his unstable state and doesn't want to give him a big contract. If you have Richard, it doesn't matter if you let Simmons go."

Thorne's analysis is correct, and Clippers manager Elgin Baylor thinks so.

Bruce was upset, and he tapped his hand on the table and said, "Didn't you say that renewing Richard's contract was very worthwhile? The outside news also said that we made a good deal and kept him cheaply. Now he typed it out , how can there be any reason to send it away? And why is it Kaman? Even if his level plus draft picks can be exchanged for Richard?"

"We need a big man who can resist people and prepare for the playoffs, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable when we meet the Heat." Thorne sighed.

"You don't need to say, unless the Clippers come up with better bargaining chips, they won't trade." Bruce directly rejected the deal.

He's just a businessman, regardless of lineup rationale. He thinks that Jefferson is a much better product than Kaman, and he will not make any unequal transactions.

Thorne is very helpless, the Nets have obvious weaknesses inside, so can they go far in the playoffs? (To be continued.)
