Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 886 [A disparity in the finals, Wade is confused]

The Kings players still have a strong desire to win. During the break, Wang Jun, James, and Curry took the lead in shooting practice.

When the core is working hard, others can't be idle, and it becomes a collective training.

Heat manager Pat Riley likes to have players train intensively before a big game. This does help to find their condition, as long as they don't practice to exhaustion.

This is exactly the principle of Kobe Bryant's "god coming down from the sky". He can shoot a thousand balls and strengthen his body memory. When he is on the court, he can still score against the defense, and the rhythm is difficult to be disrupted.

The Heat players also practiced shooting in order to better open up the space. The Heat only have two super shooters, and James Jones is still a marginal player, not as good as the Kings.

Bosh is now also starting to practice three-pointers, striving to achieve a longer range. Unfortunately, Bogut can no longer practice shooting. After joining the Bucks, he worked as a blue-collar player for five years, missed the best training age, and developed habits on the court.

Bogut is now taking the route of supporting the center. He passes the ball well and is a good meat shield, but without a mid-range shot, he is not as good as the Grizzlies' Gasol.

The gap between the two picks was too big back then. Gasol's progress from a fat man to a super center was something that many people could not have imagined.

Experts analyzed the lineups of both sides and concluded that Bogut is the person with the most advantage in the Heat's starting lineup, and they are lagging behind in the other four points.

Bosh is not as good as James, and Wang Jun is like Wade who can shoot three-pointers and play without the ball.

After discussing with the assistant coaches, Spoelstra decided to use a risky method to fight against the Kings, guarding Wang Jun strictly and guarding James alone.

If James opens up, he has to admit it. The Heat suffered a loss from Wang Jun last season, and they know that Wade may not be able to defend one-on-one, and Bogut is not good after the pick-and-roll.

On June 12, the finals begin.

The Kings showed an overwhelming advantage from the start.

Last season, Battier and Prince were with the Heat, and the perimeter defense against James and Wang Jun was more effective. This year, the Heat's forward line has become weaker.

Neither Salmons nor Korver can guard James, leaving Bosh to defend. His mobility is at a disadvantage and he is easier to break through.

Wade faced Wang Jun and had no time to care and couldn't help.

Terrence Williams looked physically capable of competing with James, but was abandoned in the playoffs.

His skills are too rough, and when he comes out, he lacks personal offense. His defensive performance is also mediocre, and he is easy to lose.

Wang Jun does not focus on attacking, but waits for opportunities outside the three-point line. James showed off his power and disrupted the Heat's defense, scoring 16 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.

Wang Jun only scored 2 points. He mainly defended Wade and focused on the defensive end, making it difficult for Wade to catch the ball and break through. After the pick-and-roll, James switched defenses. Wade played extremely hard, only scoring 4 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.

The Kings lead 32 to 18.

There is also a way to deal with King Bogut, using foul tactics in the first half, and Vucevic coming up to defend in the second half. After Bogut hit, Vucevic still had a strength advantage against Bosh and scored 6 points.

In the substitute contest, the Kings also took the initiative.

The Heat's starting offense is excellent, and the bench is a group of blue-collar workers, which is somewhat similar to the Thunder's situation.

During the Western Conference Finals, the Kings were still resting in the starting lineup. Now in the second quarter, James leads the bench and partners with Taj Gibson in the paint, giving him a stronger offensive power.

The Heat missed a shot, and Thomas, Green, Ray Allen, and James went on a fast break.

Green became a surprise player, scoring two counterattacks and hitting two three-pointers.

When playing against the Spurs, the Chinese audience said that the one from the Spurs was Green and the one from the Kings was "Tie Lin". Now, he has proven that he is Green again...

Six minutes later, James took a rest and Wang Jun came on the scene to lead the team in dealing with the Heat and maintain the lead.

Bogut played, Vucevic also played, resisting people in the low post and protecting backcourt rebounds. The Kings still focused on fast breaks and zone defense on the defensive end.

Korver was at a disadvantage against James. The Heat also needed a shooter and three-pointers from Korver and Jones, otherwise they would not be able to break the zone defense.

The Heat trailed by up to 32 points in the final quarter and surrendered early.

As predicted before the game, this was a disparity in the finals. The Heat's ability to reach the finals relied on defense and the lack of competitiveness of other teams.

105 to 78, the Kings got a good start at home.

James scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and five players on the team scored in double figures.

Wang Jun took few shots in the first game and had average statistics. He scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. He made 8 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. His shooting percentage was extremely high.

He just plays without the ball and moves to find cover. If there is no good opportunity, he will not take action, leaving James to beat Korver, Salmons and others. If James can't even deal with these people, he can't be called a superstar.

After the game, what Chinese fans care about is not whether the Kings can win the championship, but whether Wang Jun can win the FMVP.

In the second game, the fans were even more worried because Wade and Wang Jun were on the court, facing each other throughout the game, trying to limit Wang Jun's performance.

Many teams will use this method to deal with the core. If it is a selfish player, even if he is double-teamed, he will still shoot and go all out to increase the data. Their goal will be achieved.

The core players' shooting percentage is lower than the team's average. No matter how good the data is, they may lose, which means they are being defended.

Wang Jun is not that kind of cancer. He rarely enters the three-point line. He moves around the perimeter, stretches out, and hands the ball to James. When counterattacking and covering air cuts, he only gets to the basket to pose a threat. He doesn't shoot the ball if he is unsure.

Curry and Ray Allen also followed this route, and it was the coach's arrangement.

Wang Jun made 10 of 14 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals. It was another performance with a super high shooting rate.

James' statistics are better, 35 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 50%. Compared with Wang Jun, 50% hit rate is not high.

Wade was completely dumbfounded. He tried his best to defend but had no effect on Wang Jun.

Wang Jun didn't make a single forced shot. He always looked for screens and relied on his skills to get out of at least half of his position. Even if Wade was very close to the layup, he couldn't block it.

The schedule was still 232, and in the third game at the Heat's home court, the Kings still won easily. Battier stood out in this game.

The Heat let others double-team James near the penalty area, and the ball was distributed. Battier made 5 of 8 three-pointers and scored a total of 15 points.

Even blue-collar workers can score, and the game is impossible to play.

In the fourth game, the ratings of the finals dropped to a sad level.

Before the game started, the league held an awards rehearsal. David Stern came to watch the game. No one believed that the Heat could win.

The league has no interest in letting the referees use the home whistle to take care of the Heat. The strength of the two sides is too disparate. It is really difficult for the Heat to win. Just relying on a few more free throws or small defensive moves is not enough.

The Kings mainly focus on counterattacks and outside shots. Even if the referee is more generous and does not call a foul when they rush in, they can't stop them from taking shots. What's more, many shots are taken directly from outside the three-point line.

Wang Jun had a triple-double in the fourth game, with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals. He did not take many shots, making 7 of 10 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws.

When the final whistle sounded, Wade looked blank and his eyes were unfocused.

He doubted that if he didn't change teams, he would never have a chance to beat Wang Jun. His opponent was a player with almost no weaknesses.

Even if Wang Jun's statistics are not as good as James's this time, he is still the most uncomfortable for the Heat. With him here, James cannot double-team, and they can only watch the Kings expand their score advantage little by little and take away the victory.
