Super Lord of the Rings

After the game, the Kings players were very depressed. It was too embarrassing to lead by 4 points and then lose 8-0.

Popovich praised the newcomers in the team at the press conference. Leonard played 36 minutes. Not only did he defend well, he also scored 12 points.

"His defense allowed James to do his best. This was a very good victory." Popovich said with a smile: "I hope he can play this well in the future."

Leonard said: "This is what the team needs me to do. I don't only do this when I play against top players. I try to keep this mentality in every game and work hard on defense."

Adelman attributed the defeat to too simple tactics. "We had too many singles and should cooperate more. We will solve this problem in the next game."

James said: "I am responsible for the loss today, and I will be sober next game."

He was really bad, making 7 of 21 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and a total of 15 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

He failed to draw double teams, and most of his shots were on one-on-one defense. He also missed three three-pointers while wide open. To make matters worse, he didn't make a single free throw.

Wang Jun's 31 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists were normal. Ginobili, who was still defensive, only had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. His shooting percentage was just 40%, which was lower than the regular season.

Pulis faced off against Wang Jun in many rounds and only had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. His performance was poor.

Wang Jun took it lightly. "It's just one loss. Players have good and bad performances. It takes four wins to eliminate the opponent. I'm not worried about it."

The reporter asked: "Can you comment on Danny Green? He played very well today."

"A good 3D player, a system player. Personally, I am more optimistic about Leonard. His talent is amazing. If he is well trained, he will be dominant on both offense and defense."

Physically speaking, Leonard is the best in the league. He has fast speed, good jumping, and enough strength that James can't easily push him away. His height of 201cm and wingspan of 221cm are even more outstanding. As long as he can practice shooting well, he will definitely become an All-Star.

Because the Pacers had Granger and George, they let go of a potential star.

In the second game, James continued to be sluggish, and his sleepwalking performance disappointed the home fans.

He played 41 minutes,

7 of 17 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 17 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

His statistics are very comprehensive, but playing one-on-one with a rookie like this is tantamount to being guarded.

Wang Jun scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 65% from the field, but did not receive enough support.

Battier, Ray Allen, Vucevic, Gerrard and others were even stronger. Although Curry scored 20 points, he failed to guard Parker, who had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Spurs didn't have anyone who scored a lot, they were better than average, and 5 people scored in double figures.

Duncan had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Diaw had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. The two moved the ball very well.

Danny Green made 4 of 6 three-pointers, only took 6 shots in total, and scored 14 points with two free throws.

The Spurs slowed down their offensive pace and struggled with the Kings little by little, leaving the young players at a loss, especially Thomas, who only played 8 minutes in this game and scored 4 points and 1 assist.

Thomas, who was selected to the second team of the All-Rookie Team, shot only 39% from the field and 28% from three-point range in the playoffs. It didn't work anymore. Vucevic was slightly better, with 10.8 points and 6.4 rebounds, but he only played a little less time.

The next day, the major media outlets had a similar tone.

"China's King has a hard time savior with 33 points. This time the King is really in danger."

"Being behind 2-0 at home, we need a miracle to advance."

"James has been restricted by rookies continuously. How dare he claim to be the emperor with such a level?"

You lost two home games in the first game, how will you fight next? In NBA history, there are only three teams that have successfully come back from a 2-0 deficit at home.

Online, Chinese fans are denouncing James, believing that his poor performance was the main reason for the loss. Young players can be forgiven for making mistakes, but as a superstar, there is no excuse for him to perform like this.

James was in a slump when playing against the Mavericks last year. Last time, he used the excuse of injury. What about this time? Watching him perform dunks to vent in the game, you can tell that he is in good health.

Adelman is also a little helpless. He can only encourage young players to try to balance their mentality and perform at a normal level. Playing well in the regular season has a lot to do with the two rookies.

All regular season honors have been announced.

The Rookie of the Year went to Kyrie Irving of the Clippers. There was no suspense. His statistics were eye-catching and he even made the playoffs. He is just a child born in 1992, and his future will be very bright.

The best coach was won by Popovich.

Facts have proved that whether it is David Robinson, Duncan, who is now in his twilight years, or Parker, the Spurs' current tactical core, they are not the key to the Spurs' excellent record over the years. The real key is that they have the second-best or even the second-best record in the league. Best coach Popovich.

The Most Improved Player is another Clippers player, small forward Gordon Hayward. He averaged 14.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game. With a 41.5% three-point shooting rate, he only had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist last season.

The best sixth man is 76ers point guard Lou Williams, who became the team's scoring leader as the sixth man, averaging 14.9 points per game.

The best defensive player went to Tyson Chandler.

In terms of statistics, Chandler ranks ninth in the league in rebounds per game and 18th in blocks per game. In the entire Knicks lineup, he is the only one who regards defense as his life. Before Chandler joined New York, they were one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Now in just one season, New York has become one of the best defensive teams in the league.

Everyone realizes that it was no accident that the Bulls won three consecutive championships that year. A good blue-collar center is also crucial.

Howard has beautiful defensive statistics and high efficiency, but he still lost the draft. He forced the team to go away, had conflicts with the coach, and the farce of asking for a transfer was non-stop, which deducted points for himself.

Even so, Howard was selected to the defensive first team with high scores, and the best defensive player selected by reporters could only be selected to the second team. Coupled with averaging 20+ points per game, the number one center deserves the title.

All-Defensive First Team: Paul, Tony Allen, James, Ibaka, Howard.

Second team: Rondo, Kobe, Paul George, Garnett, Chandler.

Kobe can always appear in the best defensive team. Even if the Lakers lose a lot of points per game, even if Kobe is not in the core position at all and his strength is left on the offensive end, he will still be selected.

Maybe it's because someone wanted him selected, maybe he has the sharpest defensive eye, and after 2009, this is a mystery in the NBA.

The regular season MVP was won by Durant, with the team's best record and excellent statistics.

All-NBA First Team: Paul, Wang Jun, James, Durant, Howard.

Second team: Parker, Rose, Kobe, Love, Bynum.

Third team: Westbrook, Wade, Anthony, Nowitzki, Brook Lopez.

The two Kings were selected for the All-NBA Team, and the Spurs were selected for Parker. After the awards were announced, media comments became even more critical. If the Kings are eventually eliminated by the Spurs, both players' historical status will decline.

No team has ever comeback after losing three games in a row, so the next step is a last-ditch battle, and the Kings have no way out.
