Super Lord of the Rings

James once again passed Ibaka in the middle with the ball, attracting Aldridge to cover and pass the ball. Martin got an open space on the left baseline and stepped up to the basketball. 4 to 4.

Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, directly challenged Wang Jun, changed directions and made a jump shot. Without completely getting rid of the defense, he relied on the bounce and release speed to throw the ball towards the basket, and hit the ball under interference. 4 to 6.

When returning to defense, Wei Shao made his signature celebration move-"insert gun".

He gestured to insert the "gun" back, very arrogantly. The Thunder's favorite person to make moves after scoring is Wei Shao, who is often very creative.

Wang Jun immediately planned to retaliate. He first ran to the right corner, then relied on Martin to cover and ran up the line. After receiving a pass from James in the middle, he moved one step laterally and shot a quick jump shot. Aldridge didn't defend enough outside and the ball went in. 7 to 6.

Ibaka was already positioned too far outside to defend James, and Ade hesitated to switch defenses, fearing that the inside line would lose protection. When he hesitates, bad things happen.

If it were Adelman, he would shout at Adelman from the sidelines at this time, asking him to defend firmly. Brooks wouldn't do that. He would sit on the sidelines and let the players adjust.

Thunder stars are trained in this way. They don't have many tactics and often play randomly. They have developed the habit of self-adjustment and being on their own.

This is a nice thing to say, but the bad thing is that the coach doesn't care.

When the Thunder attacked, Wang Jun changed his defense and let Westbrook take a step and a half to prevent breakthroughs but not shots.

Wei Shao's three-pointer is not very good, just 30%. Wang Jun relies on his height and wingspan advantage. As long as the opponent pulls up from the outside, he can step forward to interfere in time.

It's impossible to stay close to him, because Wei Shao brings the ball from the backcourt and has enough space to change direction.

Wei Shao did not hesitate and made a three-pointer from the middle. Wang Jun stepped forward and jumped to seal his eyes, which acted as a distraction and the ball bounced out of the basket. James got stuck and grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Curry, who turned and passed it to Wang Jun.

Wei Shao knew that his strength was at a disadvantage, so he crudely chose to gamble and steal.

Wang Jun didn't catch the ball. He raised the ball up with one hand and flew over the heads of the two people. He turned around and passed Wei Shao who was reaching forward and started a solo fast break.

He made reasonable use of the rules, just like the referee would not call two dribbles if the basketball was not caught securely.

He chased the basketball, observed the defensive position and no one came up, and without taking the ball, he slapped it hard on the ground with one hand.

Bounce the ball, take two steps and jump with both feet on your left side.

He accurately caught the ball with both hands, turned his body almost sideways, contracted his left leg, stretched his right leg, like a flying kick, and dunked the ball sideways into the basket. 9 to 6.

TN*T's O'Neal put his head in his hands and shouted: "Oh my God, this goal should be counted as 50 points, no one will give it a score?"

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "This is very similar to Francis's move when he scored a perfect score in the dunk contest. He really dared to do it. This is the Thunder's home court."

Barkley laughed: "There are some Thunder home fans who are won over."

Many people at the scene applauded Wang Jun vigorously. This goal was so beautiful.

Most fans are not die-hard fans of the Thunder. This team has not been in Oklahoma City for a long time, and the fans mainly come to watch the excitement.

Wei Shao immediately wanted to fight back. He dribbled the ball continuously and then changed direction drastically, challenging Wang Jun one on one.

Wang Jun's judgment was accurate, and Kaweishao's left leg on his right leg prevented him from rushing forward.

Wei Shao was under a lot of psychological pressure. This kind of defensive action was very painful. If his knee was pointed, he might be injured accidentally.

Wang Jun, who has long been a "double dragon", has been exercising his knees for many years, playing on top of trees when he has nothing to do, and is not afraid of ordinary collisions at all.

There are not many people in the league who dare to defend like this. It is only because of his outstanding offense and the league's exclusive unspoken rules that defensive lineups will ignore him.

Wei Shao didn't take a step forward, turned around to protect the ball, looked for his teammates, and passed it to Durant on the right.

Still one-on-one, Durant leaned against Battier, turned to the right and stepped back to shoot a jumper. He used his height advantage to avoid the block, ignored the eye block, and scored. 9 to 8.

In the King's position battle, it took 20 seconds to pass the ball to no space, and James missed the jumper.

Without a big man in charge of the pick-and-roll, you have to rely on the stars to create opportunities if you want to open them. It is just a simple movement. It is difficult to get open spaces with an NBA-level defense. Even though their physical qualities are similar, if the opponent easily runs out of space, they won't have to hang out in the league in the future.

Excellent off-ball stars such as Hamilton, Wang Jun, and Ray Allen also have to find cover.

The score was stalemate. Vucevic came on the scene in the second half and provided Curry with a screen, which played some role. Curry caught the ball and made a three-pointer, misplaced Aldridge and succeeded in a layup.

James also assisted Vucevic on the air cut and scored a beautiful dunk.

To guard against Aldridge, Vucevic did a decent job. He didn't care about the basket, he only had to follow him to interfere with the shooting.

The Kings led 27 to 22 in the first quarter, and the victory came from three-pointers. The Thunder only had a stable three-point shooting spot for Durant, and there was always someone in front of him to interfere with the shot.

Wang Jun performed best, with 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Kings sent Thomas, Ray Allen, Green, Jerebko, and Vucevic.

Thunder five: Fisher, Reggie Jackson, Daequan Cook, Nick Collison and Aldridge.

Ade took a break in the first quarter and continued to lead the substitutes, so that he could have some cooperation with the team.

However, the Thunder soon suffered a tragedy, because Fisher, the chairman of the Players Association, was in such poor condition that he was unable to shoot accurately at fixed spots, and his defense was the worst defender in the league.

After this summer, Fisher's mind was not on basketball. He was thinking about how to get involved with the management in the future.

It's a pity that the suspension lasted for several months, and in the end he didn't achieve what the league wanted to see. It's probably impossible to get along with Stern.

Thomas didn't need a screen when he passed Fisher, and Ray Allen didn't have to worry about being blocked when he made a pull-up jumper in front of Fisher. This became a big loophole on the court.

The Thunder poached Fisher in the hope that his championship experience would help the team, but the idea was shattered.

If a player's body cannot keep up with the rhythm, no matter how much experience he has, it will be in vain. Olajuwon has more experience. Now he can only make money by running training camps and cannot play in the NBA.

Fisher was decisive enough in his shot, making 0 of 3 shots. He might as well have given the opportunity to rookie Jackson.

When defending, the Kings used a frontcourt press, which was a very physical defensive method. The fringe players knew that they would not play for too long and did not need to think about conserving energy.

Gerald Green's physical fitness is top-notch and he runs very fast. He is often said to be a waste of talent. Facing a fringe player like Cook who can only shoot three-pointers is a piece of cake for him.

During the counterattack, Gerrard received a pass from Ray Allen and dunked an alley-oop one-handed windmill. His head was almost flat, and it must be one of the top five goals.

Four minutes later, the point difference widened to 11 points. Westbrook returned to the court with a substitute and replaced Fisher.

The Thunder have no tactics and can only rely on the individual abilities of their stars, while the Kings let their substitutes continue to play and deal with their opponents.

Thomas is short and can defend against breakthroughs pretty well. He will not become a loophole against Jackson who lacks the ball. Ray Allen has difficulty defending Wei Shao. Someone double-teams him when he breaks in, allowing Collison to shoot.

Wang Jun and James came back from a 6-minute break, but the Thunder failed to catch up with the score. After that, the two sides refused to give in to each other.

Thanks to Durant's three-pointer at the buzzer, the Kings led 55-48 at halftime.

It seems like there is still a fight to be had, but in fact the Kings have taken the initiative. The Thunder are more dependent on the performance of their stars than the Kings, which goes against the development trend of modern basketball.
