Super Lord of the Rings

The Kings did not find any particularly strong players, and they also left Yi Jianlian inside.

Experts gave their trade a grade of only C, with Shane Battier considered useful and other signings terrible.

Vivek called Wang Jun, a little worried: "There is no suitable person in the free market. If you think the lineup is not good, we will find a way to dig another star."

Wang Jun smiled and said: "No, I think this is enough. I studied with Swann in the summer. The team is weak in terms of center. If we find a high-paid center, not to mention paying luxury tax, there may be a bad contract. Last season's core The lineup is retained, and I will be confident to defend the title.”

Vivek smiled and said: "Really? But I think many team lineups are too strong. The Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, and Knicks all have multiple stars teaming up."

"Challenges are interesting. We will win." Wang Jun is confident.

When he said this, Vivek felt relieved.

No boss wants to pay the luxury tax. This season's salary is about the same as last season. It would be great if we can win the championship.

Wang Jun is not thinking about the boss, but there is really no need to dig up inside stars. He will not have the ball when he comes, and he will only become a role player averaging less than 10 shots per game.

The rationality of the lineup is very important. Someone like Battier who is willing to defend and can shoot three-pointers is the most suitable. Rashad Lewis has one year left on his contract. If he is willing to accept a minimum salary, he can come to the Kings. They want someone who doesn't take up the number of shots and can seize opportunities in open positions.

The training camp has started, with competition as a substitute for training.

Core photos taken on media day. The four Kings are Curry, Wang Jun, Ray Allen, and James.

Ray Allen didn't play well last season. He only showed some performance in the playoffs and was still unstable. When taking pictures, the Kings management still gave him enough face. After all, he ranked first in the NBA three-point shooting list. This honor is enough for him to enter the Hall of Fame in the future.

At the beginning of the preseason, there were only two games, one home and one away.

All teams pick their opponents nearby, the Lakers face the Clippers, and the Kings face the Warriors.

Curry and Wang Jun haven't played a game all summer and need time to find their form. After the opening game, they shot continuously.

James has not been idle in the summer, playing in charity star games and participating in training camps. He is in excellent condition.

Wang Jun made 5 of 16 shots in 24 minutes.

0 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, only 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. James made 10 of 16 shots in 30 minutes, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Young player Thomas was also eye-catching, scoring 16 points and 5 assists.

The Warriors suddenly emerged this season, winning 106-97.

Lowry organized the offense in an orderly manner. Head coach Mark Jackson was very optimistic about him and asked him to hold the ball and play pick-and-rolls, while Ellis took fewer shots.

Ellis has been the team's leading scorer for two consecutive seasons, and his three-point shooting percentage has also improved, but he likes to play randomly and his efficiency is average.

Jackson hopes Ellis can play more calmly and Lowry will be much more reasonable in handling the ball.

The Warriors' defenders' breakthroughs are sharper than last season. Noah's defense inside is good, Monroe can withdraw to shoot, and Jefferson, Rush, Thompson and others can also shoot three-pointers.

The Warriors played surprisingly well and defeated the Kings in the second game.

Wang Jun made 5 of 15 shots and became a blacksmith again. He made 0 of 3 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a total of 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

The preseason is just training, and the Kings don't care. Adelman also uses Battier to motivate the team and remind the players to be ready at any time, especially the players on the bench.

The Kings players expressed their confidence to defend their title, but many reporters didn't believe it at all. After the game, a lot of news was published that was unfavorable to the Kings and Wang Jun.

"Wang Jun spent most of the holidays filming movies and spending time with his family, and did not practice football at all. In the preseason, he looked like a role player. Can he regain his previous feeling in the new season?"

"The Kings may have to rely on James. They don't look like a team that wants to defend their title."

"The Kings don't even have a qualified center. Are they planning to let veteran Miller start the season? They have obviously been affected by the lockout, and sending Yi Jianlian away is a mistake."

No matter how many doubts there are, the King is still ranked first on the official strength list. As long as Wang Jun and James join forces, no one dares to underestimate them.

The schedule was announced. The Kings will play the Heat in the first game, then play back-to-back home games against the Lakers, and then fly to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers in the evening.

Three consecutive games, this kind of schedule is the first time Wang Jun has encountered since joining the NBA. This is not the league's deliberate targeting of the Kings. Many teams have to play back-to-back games like this, otherwise the regular season will last until May.

In order to make money, the league has compressed the schedule more closely, and the Christmas game between the Kings and the Heat has been hyped for a week.

The Heat lost two veteran forwards in the summer. As the Eastern Conference champions, it has attracted other capable players to join. Salmons, Korver, and Terrence Williams will support the Heat's forward line this year.

Salmons is a good role player, averaging 13.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season; Korver is one of the best shooters in the league, with a stable three-point shooting rate of more than 40%; Terrence's physical fitness Outstanding, there is still potential to be tapped.

Coupled with the trident of Bogut, Bosh, and Wade, the Heat will still be a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference in the new season.

After arriving in Sacramento, Korver went to the villa to see Wang Jun's daughter and sent greetings.

Korver was in a particularly good mood. Wang Jun understood as soon as he asked. With Prince and Battier leaving, Korver, as the strongest three-point shooter in the team, will get many opportunities to play. He is likely to be the Heat's starter.

Korver already had a championship ring when he was with the Nets. He didn't care about winning the championship, he just wanted to put up good numbers and work hard for the next contract.

Wang Jun's goal is very clear, that is to win the championship. He only needs one more championship to tie Jordan.

Wade's goal is also to win the championship, and his desire to win is stronger than Wang Jun. Korver said that the slogan he shouted in the locker room was to defeat Wang Jun!

As a star in the 2003 class, Wade is unwilling to be suppressed all the time.

Both are shooting guards and are said to be lifelong enemies. He cannot join forces with Wang Jun and can only try to lead the team to victory.

While having dinner in the hotel, Wade chatted with Bosh and said seriously: "Chris, I hope you play this game as if you were playing in the playoffs. You are the key to winning today. The Kings don't have a good center. It will definitely be difficult for them to play small ball tactics, and I don’t want to lose to the Kings again!”

"Understood." Bosh nodded and sighed inwardly. He was more depressed than Wade and didn't know what to say.

He joined the Heat for the championship. They were very close last season. After being swept, he began to doubt whether he could succeed with the Heat.

If he couldn't win the championship, why would he come to the Heat? Staying with the Raptors has at least earned him a reputation for loyalty, and he can continue to be known as the "Dragon King". He has no nickname at all in the Heat.

Chinese fans nicknamed Bosh "Bo Yiban". Fortunately, he didn't know, otherwise he would be even more depressed. With Bogut as his partner, his main task is not to grab rebounds, so his data dropped.

In the past, Pat Riley would ask his players to practice hard. This time, Riley didn't say much at the start of the game. Many people felt that the Heat were not far away from rebuilding.

Heat players are planning to fight to the death this season, starting from the opening game.
