Super Lord of the Rings

In Game 5, the Thunder failed to withstand the Kings' attack at home.

The same way they lost last season, the Thunder led in the first three quarters but were reversed in the final quarter. The starting five can compete with the Kings, but the bench cannot be used, and something goes wrong as soon as they come on.

The Thunder's substitutes are terrible. Reggie Jackson is just a rookie with good personal abilities. If he doesn't cooperate with his teammates, he will bury himself in chaos.

Collison is a strong defensive player, his style is very similar to Taj Gibson, and his scoring ability is average. Bai Ade has strength, but his lateral speed is too slow to prevent pick-and-rolls. Cook and Fisher have no sense of presence.

Even if McGrady and Whiteside don't play, the Kings still have 11 players who can rotate. The Thunder only rotate 8 people, and the others are loopholes.

In the last quarter, Westbrook became hot-headed and stepped up his breakthroughs. He threw himself to the basket several times and was unable to quickly return to defense after falling to the ground. His style of play is extremely brave, but it may not be beneficial. Once the shot fails, he may be counterattacked.

Curry hit four three-pointers in the final quarter and made 7 of 9 three-pointers in the game. He scored 31 points and 5 assists, winning in a row.

Sina broadcast the NBA live, and the commentator made jokes throughout the game like cross talk.

Ke Fan described Curry at the end: "He became the last brace that crushed the Ninja Turtles..."

Throughout the series, Westbrook, who was jokingly called "Raphael" by Chinese fans, performed very poorly. His shooting percentage was just 40% and his three-point shooting percentage was 28.7%. However, he took the most shots in the team. It is said that he was undercover. Not an exaggeration.

Many Thunder fans were dissatisfied and suggested trading him for a point guard who would not waste shots and could organize.

Westbrook was moved from the No. 2 position to the No. 1 position. Judging from the dimensions of classic No. 1 positions such as Steve Nash, Magic, and Kidd, his shortcomings and deficiencies are clearly exposed.

The functional standards of the orthodox No. 1 position can be defined in terms of organization, rhythm control, and coordination. The upper limit is "comprehensive coordination" and the lower limit is "team consciousness."

To put it bluntly, you have to lead the whole team to play. For example, what Nash showed is "If you focus on guarding the stars, I will run and pass to connect the team; if you defend in the zone, I will support fixed-point or long-range shots; if you guard the whole court, I will Pick-and-roll breakout.” He has countless ways to break down his opponent's defense, and the opponent never knows what his next move will be.

Entering the 21st century, there are two very different point guards in the league, namely Rose and Wei Shao. Their playing style and game thinking are almost completely opposite to the classic point guards. They have strong offensive power of SG and SF, and can directly destroy the defense. Change the dynamics of the game.

There is only one way for them to play ball,

Everyone knew what he was going to do next.

Opponents are helpless against those who are inferior to them.

Against stars who were stronger than them, like Wang Jun and James, Wei Shao cried.

Because single-block screens, sudden points, air cuts, and rapid advances are his only weapons, he cannot control the rhythm, play without the ball, and be a three-point shooter... he can only watch and be restrained.

4-1, the Kings advanced to the finals first.

Everyone in the Kings was confident that they could successfully defend their title. Many people breathed a sigh of relief. Playing against Eastern Conference teams seemed much easier.

However, they did not issue a declaration of victory and kept a low profile.

Wang Jun said flatly: "The two teams in the Eastern Conference are not as weak as some people say. They have stars and excellent tactical coordination. Wade and Paul are both superstars. Randolph, Bosh, Bogut These people are not bad either. We cannot be careless in the slightest and must be mentally prepared for the war."

After the game, league vice president Adam Silver called Kings manager Petry and asked him to notify the coaching staff and several players who attended the press conference, asking them to praise the Eastern Conference team and keep a low profile.

In order to ensure the ratings of the finals, league officials worked hard.

Silver likes making money more than Stern and is trying every means to turn the NBA into a more commercial league. This will at least allow fans to retain some sense of expectation for the finals.

If the king doesn't take his opponent seriously, the media will add fuel to the fire, and fewer people will pay attention.

James has a high emotional intelligence and is willing to praise his opponents, especially Paul, Wade and others who have a good relationship with him. Wang Jun also won't go against the alliance. It's just a matter of eating too much and it won't do any good.

Even so, online reviews tend to favor the King.

"Wang Jun is definitely going to win the championship again. It's too easy to win and it's not interesting at all. The Spurs are a little bit shocking. If you want to stop the Kings, the best way is not to form a team of stars, but to separate James and Wang Jun. .”

"Ever since Wang Jun entered the NBA, I no longer believe in the saying 'the one who gets the inside wins the world'. The insiders around him have never been better. The best combination is Chandler and David Lee. Since he left the Bulls, those two No one ever wins.”

"As long as there are veteran centers willing to cut their salary to join the Kings in the summer free market, who can beat them next season? It will be too easy to win three consecutive championships."

"Wade and Bosh remind me of Malone and Stockton. They were in the same era as Wang Jun and James. They were so unfortunate."

In the Eastern Conference, the Heat achieved match point at home and led 3-2.

The two sides fought fiercely in every game, and the third game took two overtimes to decide the winner.

Neither Bogans nor Stevenson can guard Wade, which is the Heat's biggest advantage. Paul played very easily against Chalmers and Cole. After the pick-and-roll, he could also get past the inside and make exquisite passes.

The two cores have their own merits and are evenly matched.

In the inside competition, the Heat failed to take advantage. Bosh was better than Humphries, and Randolph defeated Bogut.

Randolph started a variety of offensive performances. He could catch the ball in the pick-and-roll and shoot from the outside. He could play singles with the ball behind his back. He turned to the baseline twice and relied on his tonnage to beat Bosh.

No matter who of the two is the main defender, Fatty will always find a way to score, giving the Heat a headache.

Although Randolph is short on the defensive end, he can withstand people and protect backcourt rebounds. He is more like an All-Star than Bosh.

The Nets mainly rely on Paul and Randolph. Morrow and Farmar have given some help and can shoot three-pointers and break through. The others are all blue-collar defenders. It's already good to win two games with this lineup.

In Game 6, Bogut finally showed his performance, scoring 22 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

Wade had 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and shooter Korver scored 5 three-pointers, becoming the third hot spot.

The Heat eliminated the Nets 4-2 and entered the Finals for the second consecutive year.

In an interview, Wade said: "The Kings have a super strong lineup. We can only work hard to win. Even if we lose, we must use up all our strength."

Neither Bosh nor Bogut mentioned winning. They were stimulated last season.

In the two regular season games, the Heat lost ugly.

The lineup is poor, the Kings have better experience in the finals, and the Heat do not have home court advantage. No matter how you look at it, the situation is not good for them.

Online fans voted to predict the outcome, and 93% of fans were optimistic about the Kings defending their title, setting a record for finals support.

The ESPN expert panel is generally optimistic about the Kings. Only two people think that the Heat have the possibility of winning, and they are just hopeful.

Bookmakers are unanimously optimistic about the king, and there is simply no need to bet.

David Stern was quite helpless about this. It was useless for the Kings players to keep a low profile. No one felt that the two teams were of the same level.

This is dominance, not only dominating the stadium, but also dominating the minds of the fans.
