"Sean, has Lasalle been in a bad state recently?”
The Nets 'owner, Prokhorov, frowned, and there was deep dissatisfaction between his brows.
It wasn't easy for him to find time to watch a game, but to see his core being beaten up would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
He had just flipped through Lasalle's recent data.
After two games, the Nets 'main control handed over the results: Averaged 15.5 points, 5 rebounding, 5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
At first glance, it was not bad. Although it did not match the data of the team's boss, it was barely qualified.
However, Russell still had 4.5 turnovers per game, and his field goal percentage was only 30.5%, which was so low that it was touching.
Such results were not worthy of being the core of the team.
On the other hand, Russell's substitute, Wang Ting.
Wang Ting currently had an average of 32 points, 3 rebounding, 6.5 assists, and 4 steals per game. He only made 2 mistakes, and his field goal percentage had reached an astonishing 70.9%. The most amazing thing was that he had only played less than 20 minutes per game. How efficient was he?
Anyone who saw this set of data would doubt who was the reserve and who was the core.
" Maybe it's because Russell has been off for too long during the off-season. He hasn't found the right feeling yet." Max braced himself to speak up for Russell." Mr. Prokhorov, believe me, that kid will soon rebound.”
The general manager of the Nets still chose to believe in Russell. The latter was the core of the team that he had exchanged with great difficulty last year. He was not someone that Wang Ting could compare to.
"I hope so." Prokhorov lay on the sofa and said to his partner," Joseph, what do you think of Russell now?”
Cai Chongxin pushed his glasses up." It's normal for him to not be in good condition during a match. Let's give him some patience."”
Compared to the impatient big boss, the second boss was obviously more rational.
Out of their friendship, he had high hopes for Wang Ting, but he wouldn't dislike Russell because of this. He still hoped that this main control player could perform well.
His gaze returned to the arena.
At this time, there were 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the first quarter. The score between the two teams was 12:24 Pacers
After the Nets called a time-out, Atkinson replaced Russell, Carroll, and Allen, letting Wang Ting, Dudley, and Ed Davis play.
The opposing Pacers also changed their lineup. Because they were leading by a lot, they only left one of their main players on the field. The other four players all went off to rest.
The current lineup of both sides was:
the Nets
Point Guard: Wang Ting
Point Guard: Ding Weidi
[Small front: Dudley]
[Daqian: Jefferson1]
Center: Davis
Pacers
Point Guard: Aaron Hollday
Shooting guard: Doug McDermott
[Small front: Tyric Evans]
[Big Mae: Saydis Young]
Center: Domantas Sabonis
The Pacers 'most noteworthy opponent was not the starter, Saydis Young, but Evans.
This person was the No. 4 rookie of the 2009 season. That year, he beat Curry, Harden, and Jennings with a luxurious 20 5 5 score and won the title of Best Rookie.
Although he was at the peak when he debuted, his brilliance gradually dimmed because the team did not give him a clear position, coupled with injuries. However, this did not mean that he was not good enough.
The vague positioning allowed Evan to develop a very comprehensive ability. He could play the three positions of point guard, point guard, and small front guard at the same time.
It was not difficult to predict that the person responsible for marking Wang Ting later would not necessarily be the rookie, but Evans.
Sure enough, when Wang Ting pushed the ball into the opponent's half, Evans took the initiative to jump out.
"Huaxia kid, let me end you!”
Evans 'eyes were wide open, and his entire body was emitting a cold killing intent.
"Wang Ting met Evans. Let's see what kind of match this is.”The commentator's voice sounded from the broadcast.
Everyone was very familiar with the two commentators present today.
One was the Pacers 'famous player, Reggie Miller, who had just explained the Nets' game against the pistons a few days ago.
The other was also a famous player. He was an old friend of the Chinese basketball fans, Tracy McGrady.
Back then, the four shooting guards of the Alliance, West Branch, East Ai, North Block, and South Mai, were all superstars with heaven-defying strength. Now, only Old Cater was left to fight alone. McGrady's body had put on weight, and his beard had a hint of vicissitudes of life. It made people sigh at the passage of time.
" I like Wang a lot," McGrady explained." He has brought us a lot of surprises in the past few days, and now..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
Suddenly, Wang Ting raised one leg and made a shooting pose.
This wasn't an ordinary shot. It could be seen that Wang Ting was in a backward posture in mid-air. At the same time, his body was very straight, and his feet were in a scissors kick.
On the other side, Evans was caught off guard and rushed over.
Then, he was shocked to find that his long arm could not touch the basketball no matter what. This was because the opponent's angle of elevation was relatively large, and the time he spent in the air was also astonishingly long.
In the next moment.
"Swoosh!"
Three points into the net!
"Three points for the king!" Reggie Miller shouted," Beautiful Ganba! Is he paying homage to someone?!"”
As he spoke, he glanced at his partner beside him.
McGrady smiled knowingly.
Wang Ting's shot just now was clearly his famous skill back then, the dry pull shot!
Moreover, it was a 100% restored, original Mai dry pull!
