Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 860 [Did they bring back the top pick? 】

Vucevic's defense is terrible, and it shows when the Heat spread out their formation.

He is not good at guarding pick-and-rolls. When the defender receives the ball without the ball, he doesn't know what to do.

Once out, the defender can pass him with the ball. The lateral movement speed is too slow. If the defender leaves some space, he can pass the ball inside. Without the king's human shield, Battier and James can only retreat to defend the basket.

Even so, Vucevic played for 10 minutes before being replaced, scoring 10 points and 6 rebounds.

Wang Jun scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, and hit a three-pointer from the right side at 70 degrees.

He has a shooting training card and trains under the system prompts, so he can easily regain his rhythm. He has achieved results after only two weeks of practice. His shooting is not based on sight, but on soft wrists and body memory. He will not start from scratch just because he took a few months of rest.

The Kings led 35 to 21 and established their advantage in one quarter.

In the second quarter, the "Two Kings and One Queen" took a break, and the Kings sent Thomas, Ray Allen, McGrady, Gibson, and Miller.

The Heat added Kerr, James Jones, Terrence Williams, Chris Anderson, and Bogut.

The Heat had a good offense, but Miller had obvious defensive holes, but failed to catch up with the score.

Led by Thomas and Ray Allen, the Kings' offense is also very sharp. With just a pick-and-roll, Thomas immediately gets rid of the ball and uses his speed to defeat Bogut and Anderson.

Bogut is an excellent human shield, and switching defenders is not his strong point.

Adelman was always smiling and confident on the sidelines.

Some people think that the Kings lineup is not good enough this season, with veterans retiring and newcomers inexperienced. The team's ball movement is indeed not as good as last season, but the players have stronger impact. Adelman changed his tactics, reduced passing, and increased fast breaks and one-on-ones to ensure attack power.

Petry and Thomas made a lot of money by signing a four-year contract. His offensive power is not inferior to that of a first-round pick, and he can shoot out of the blue. His fall to the second round was entirely due to his height.

Thomas is easily beaten on the defensive end, and it is even more impossible to switch to the inside after the pick-and-roll. This is not a problem with the Kings. Adelman can kill his opponents with offense and does not want to rely on defense.

Six minutes later, Wang Jun, James, and Curry returned to the court together. Jerebko and Vucevic were inside, and the offensive end was wide open.

defensive end,

The Kings started a zone defense.

If the Heat don't play Korver and Chalmers, Jones will be the only reliable three-point shooter. The Kings can shrink their defense and limit breakthroughs in the 122 formation.

Wade passed the ball out, and teenager Cole was unsure of his shot.

As a rookie, Cole just joined the NBA and needs time to adapt. His strengths are breakthroughs and distribution, not shooting. As long as Jones is blocked from shooting, everything will be easy. Players gathered to the basket, and Bogut couldn't easily attack in the low post.

Wang Jun and Vucevic played a pick-and-roll, and they could take a shot after receiving the ball. They hit another three-pointer at 70 degrees. Bogut's change of defense was a little slow and it was broken.

Bogut switched defense in place, Wade did not pursue the defense, Wang Jun singled out, passed Bogut to attract Bosh to cover the ball, and assisted James for a layup on the right side.

Wade pursued the defense and distributed it to the outside. Vucevic scored again with a 60-degree mid-range shot from the right side.

Before the end, Vucevic made an air cut after a pick-and-roll. After receiving a pass from James, he took three steps, was pulled by Chalmers, and made two free throws.

In just halftime, Vucevic scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 8 of 10 shots, and 2 of 2 free throws.

Wang Jun had 14 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. James had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists at halftime, heading for a triple-double.

The Kings lead by 23 points and have more flowers. Only Curry's performance is average. He is busy with school and dating during the holidays and is a little restless.

In the second half, Whiteside got a chance to play and played two minutes.

He really wanted to show off. After the pick-and-roll, he received Thomas's pass in the air and attacked. He got a big block from Bogut. He picked up the offensive rebound and leaned on it to get up again. But the strength difference was too much compared to Bogut's and he couldn't squeeze out of the way. Got a big hat on me.

On the defensive end, Whiteside couldn't resist Bogut. The opponent went deep into the basket to catch the ball, turned around and feinted, and Whiteside flew away.

His height in the air, if matched with the opening music of the old version of Journey to the West, would remind people of Sun Wukong, who is just shy of somersaults. His lingering in the air reminds people of the famous novel "Gone with the Wind".

Bogut could take a breather, take a sip of tea, and then foul him again.

Bogut made 1 of 2 free throws, and Adelman asked Whiteside to rest.

This kid is also unlucky. He played when Bogut was here. If he is facing someone like Bosh and Anderson who is not good at attacking, he can play for a while.

Miller was outrageously slow, so Adelman sent Vucevic on.

He is poor in pick-and-roll defense, and is better against Bogut than Whiteside. He is heavy and has a stable base. The most important thing is not to jump around, but to raise his hands to interfere. Bogut's shooting range is not far and will be affected.

The Heat no longer let Vucevic go, and he has no performance on the offensive end. His teammates will not pass the ball to let him single out Bogut.

Wang Jun, James, and Ray Allen ensured offensive firepower, and the score always led.

At the end of the three quarters, Wang Jun had 27 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. 14 points in a single quarter was a normal performance for him.

James had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, a near triple-double.

Vucevic's 20 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist were jaw-dropping and stole the spotlight from the two major stars.

O'Neal commented: "I don't see where this rookie center is weak. He is very tough against Bosh, blocking positions and controlling rebounds very well."

Barkley smiled and said: "The performance of the giants hired by the Heat with a billion-dollar contract is not as good as the Kings' first-round rookie. I wonder what Pat Riley thinks. Will anyone still call him a golden fortune teller in the future?"

Riley has been making mistakes since he sent away Wang Jun in 2003. If this continues, he will be a beetle.

Regardless of Bosh or Bogut, they are always forced to defend the outside line after the pick-and-roll. Wang Jun and James are excellent at breakthroughs, and substitute guard Thomas is not weak either.

In the last 6 minutes, the Kings led by more than 30 points and replaced the main players. The substitutes cherished their performance opportunities, and Thomas still played very actively and did not let the score catch up.

Fans online discussed it lively.

"Those who say that the king cannot defend his crown can go to sleep. Santa Claus will stuff your socks with 'brain fragments' of gifts."

"There are some major misconceptions in the NBA. Garnett is tough, Nowitzki is soft, James just relies on his body, Wang Jun is not in good shape this season, etc... He just took a nap in the preseason, and when he wakes up he is the king. "

"Damn it, what's going on with the Kings' rookie? Did they trade Yi Jianlian for the No. 1 pick?"

"Wade wants to defeat Wang Jun unless another superstar joins the Heat, or he waits for his contract to expire and join other teams."

At the end of the game, the Kings won 118-83 and got off to a strong start. Three members of the team scored 20+ points, and Thomas finally scored 17 points and 5 assists.

Wang Jun scored 33 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes to record a double-double. His statistics were like those of a point guard.

James had 28 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, almost a triple-double, but failed to get the last rebound.

Vucevic played 35 minutes and had a huge double-double with 22 points and 15 rebounds, a terrifying debut.

A 17th pick in the first round performed like this and immediately attracted the attention of the media. He can be said to have become famous in one battle.
