Super Lord of the Rings

In the next round, Artest finally scored the first goal for the Lakers, relying on a one-on-one crab move.

Before coming to the Lakers, Lakers fans commented that Artest was a "super 3D player", "a defensive expert in the league", a "beast", and "one of the most cost-effective players"!

It seems that as long as they get him, the Lakers will be invincible. Kobe also boasted that he would win 80 games in the 2009-2010 season.

In just two years, fans' evaluation of Artest became "34 million in exchange for a pile of meat"! "This trash has been kept by the Lakers!"

Many people forget that without this meat, the Lakers would not be able to beat the Celtics in 2010 and would not be able to guard Pierce. Under the fat defense, Pierce's shooting percentage in key games was very low.

After joining the Lakers, Artest averaged less than 8 shots per game, a career low of 7.3 this season, less than half of the Pacers period. It would be hell if he could score more than 15 points.

After players join the Lakers, they become "burdens", "waste", and "CBA teammates". This is the law of nature and no one can stop it, just like green leaves are destined to only set off picturesque flowers.

Another law of nature is that older players cannot outrun young people, and the Lakers are faced with this embarrassment.

The Kings have the fastest perimeter in the league this season. Wang Jun, James, and Thomas started a fast break together, and the Lakers couldn't defend them at all.

Even if Artest keeps up with James and Kobe keeps up with Wang Jun, Thomas can easily break through with Blake alone, and it is even more relaxed and enjoyable to break through the inside with a mismatch.

Last season, Bynum and Gasol were driven crazy by Barea's sudden speed. Thomas is no slower than Barea, short and agile.

Moreover, Thomas' first choice is not to pass, but to score. He has the ability to shoot from mid- to long-range, and it doesn't matter if he can't prevent penetration or shooting.

The Lakers, one of the slowest teams in the league, faced off against the fastest team, and the outcome is predictable.

The Kings led 46-22 in the first quarter.

The Lakers did not open up the offensive end. Although Thomas is short, Blake is a player who is not open and does not take shots. The Kings forward and Wang Jun are both defensive experts and are not afraid of mismatches.

Kobe Bryant scored 12 points, the highest for the Lakers, Gasol scored 6 points, Artest scored 4 points, and everyone else was dumb.

The King's side blossomed more, with Wang Jun having the highest score of 15 points.

James rested in the second quarter,

Wang Jun continued to play and moved to the small forward position. The other four players were Curry, Ray Allen, Jerebko, and Taj Gibson.

The Lakers' second-round rookie point guard Goodlock, Barnes, Ebanks, Hill, and Murphy formed the second team.

Adelman and Wang Jun continue to play because McGrady is so bad this season. He didn't practice in the summer and his condition continues to decline. He can't even be called a good role player. Currently, he can only play a mascot and attract fans in the team. role.

After this season, the Kings will definitely not renew McGrady's contract, and it will be difficult for him to find another job.

Another reason is that Wang Jun said that he could score 100 points by hitting Murphy out of position.

Murphy was at his peak with the Pacers in the 2009 season, averaging 14.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, shooting 47.5% from the field, 45% from three-point range, and averaging 2.2 three-pointers per game. Scored double-doubles in 5 seasons.

However, Murphy has never played in the playoffs in his career.

After leaving the Pacers, he failed to perform well with the Nets and Celtics last season, averaging only 3.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. It's no wonder that Nelson said he couldn't do anything after he went to the Warriors.

The Lakers thought they had an advantage when they dug up Murphy, but in fact he is just a player who makes statistics. His defense is extremely bad, and it will be difficult for the team to win with him on the team. The Pacers' complete depravity also started when he joined.

Brown obviously didn't realize this. He gave Murphy 23 minutes of playing time in the first game, focusing on his ability to clear the basket and shoot three-pointers. As for building a defensive system, it doesn't happen overnight.

The Kings attacked, Wang Jun went to the frontcourt to catch the ball, played a pick-and-roll with Taj Gibson in the middle, avoided Barnes, moved laterally and took a step-back jumper, and hit a 70-degree three-pointer from the right side. 49 to 22.

The Lakers attacked, and the Kings defended 122, shrinking to protect the penalty area. The Lakers, who were originally weak in offensive ability with the ball, couldn't break through at all. Barnes' three-point jumper from the outside missed due to slight interference from Ray Allen.

Gibson carded and Jerebko got the backcourt rebound.

In the Kings position battle, Wang Jun received the ball in the backcourt and went to the three-point line to play a pick-and-roll with Gibson. This time Hill defended, and Wang Jun took two steps to the left to distance himself from Gibson.

Gibson cut inside, Murphy retreated to the basket, Wang Jun saw the space and distributed the ball to the left corner.

Jerebko got an easy shooting opportunity and hit an open three-pointer. 52 to 22.

Jerebko mainly trained on three-pointers. Wang Jun exchanged experiences with him, focusing on Lewis's style of play and hoping he would develop in that direction. He is willing to be a good system player and has no idea of ​​becoming a core player.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "In two rounds, the point difference widened to 30 points. If the Kings go all out today, it will not be a problem to beat the Lakers by another 50 or 60 points."

Yu Jia lamented: "The Lakers are weaker than last season. The five people on the field have such poor offense that they cannot attract double-teams or pass into space."

None of the Lakers players could open one-on-one, and Hill was the only active one, attacking the inside and scoring two points. After that, his teammates missed the shot. He grabbed the offensive rebound and missed the shot. He jumped up and grabbed the ball and scored the second time.

Once the Lakers miss a shot, bad things happen. The Kings counterattack no matter what. Wang Jun singles out Murphy and Hill in a misplaced position, teaching the two big men how to behave. Mi Zongbu can surpass others with his speed.

Double-teaming Wang Jun, Curry made a three-pointer with the ball, and Taj Gibson, who cut through the middle, performed a one-handed dunk.

Jerebko and Ray Allen were stationary, and the people on the side could not double-team. Wang Junqiu protected them very well, calmly singled out and organized.

His reaction speed has long been developed. After passing training, his distribution of the ball is still simple and he knows where to pass the ball during cooperation.

Mike Brown had no other way to adjust but to replace Kobe and Gasol early, and replaced Murphy and Ebanks.

The 206CM Ebanks has strong physical fitness and moves quickly. It is said that he has the potential to become an outstanding player on both offense and defense. It's a pity that his shooting is so poor that he can only follow up and score on fast breaks and break through with the ball. He seems at a loss when playing without the ball.

Even when attacking with the ball, Ebanks is average. The opponent only needs to defend and break through. He's such a big guy and can't shoot. It's a pain in the ass if he can't take advantage.

After playing for 6 minutes, Wang Jun took a break and James came back to lead the team to ensure that there was an offensive core on the court.

Vucevic also came on as a substitute, and Jerebko continued to play. Five people on the court could shoot, creating a one-on-one opportunity for James. This is a tactic that James was good at in the Cavaliers.

Kobe singled out Ray Allen and scored a lot of points, but couldn't catch up with the point difference.

Vucevic's defense is poor, Gasol is a technical player, and his scoring mainly relies on low-post footwork and shooting. The Kings can limit it by relying on zone defense.

The other insiders are even worse. If Bynum is there at this time and there is an extra inside attack point, the Lakers will at least have the ability to break through the Kings defense.

The Kings led 86 to 48 at halftime, and the game had entered garbage time.

The schedule is tight, and there will be back-to-back games tomorrow. Even if there is a chance to beat the opponent, the coaching staff will not let Wang Jun and James play. It is more important to ensure the winning rate.
