Returning to Sacramento this time, James was booed wildly by the fans as soon as he came on the court, just as spectacular as when he first left the Cavaliers.

Barkley joked: "Many people think that James left the Kings because he failed to win the championship last season and he is no longer optimistic about the Kings. Now that the Kings have a better record, I wonder what he feels. Is he reviewing his lack of ability to lead the team? ?”

O'Neal smiled and said: "The King's performance this season is unexpected. Not only did Wang Jun play well, but Curry also played the best data of his career. James also needs to prove his ability to lead the team."

Barkley lamented: "However, if the King wants to create a miracle, he still has to go through the Spurs. In overall comparison, the Spurs will definitely be better."

James arrived in Sacramento a day early and had no desire to eat with Wang Jun or chat. Wang Jun would not deliberately show his face, but he still felt uncomfortable.

He was jealous, depressed, helpless, and full of negative emotions. He didn't want to admit that Wang Jun was better than him, but that was the fact.

The two greeted each other on the field.

James smiled and asked: "Will you guard me today?"

"Of course, and the Kings will definitely win." Wang Jun replied lazily, full of confidence, as if he was not leading a blue-collar team, but an All-Star team.

Wang Jun's understanding of basketball tactics is top-notch. He can predict the outcome by looking at the lineup configuration.

Confidence is because the current Kings lineup is really not bad, but the players are not well-known. This is precisely the reason why they are willing to fight hard. They are not afraid of those who wear shoes when they are barefoot, and their defensive enthusiasm is amazing, which is not necessarily a shortcoming.

Teams that don't defend are truly hopeless. The Kings last season, the Lakers now, and the Chinese men's basketball team are all examples.

After Wang Jun retired from the national team, the men's basketball team has never won another international competition. This year, it did not even enter the World Championships and can only play in Asia. This is under the premise that Australia has not participated in Asian competitions. If Australia comes, the men's basketball team should be ready to follow the men's football team.

During the warm-up, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers and showed good form.

Bill also hit three consecutive three-pointers on the other side, intending to compete with Curry. Recently, he has started at the point guard position, playing shooting guard style, and James is responsible for organization.

Five Kings: Curry, Wang Jun, Carroll, Aminu, Gobert.

Cavaliers five: Bill, Oladipo, James, Thompson, Bosh.

Thompson defends better and rebounds better. Kidd guessed that the Cavaliers would adopt a small-ball strategy, so he sent in Aminu, a super-mobile big man who often plays fast breaks.

Gobert won the jump ball and the game was on.

The players all spread out, Wang Jun held the ball outside the three-point line, and the fans held their breath, waiting for the two superstars to duel.

James is highly focused. He and Wang Jun often play singles and are familiar with each other's technical characteristics. Wang Jun has too many tricks in one-on-one. If no one helps, he will not be an opponent in 2010.

He also knows Wang Jun's character. As long as he can score, he will fight endlessly and not give face to the defender. That's how those super statistics come from.

James was so anxious that he had no choice but to go in, with Oladipo and Wiggins on defense, and he would only be abused.

Wang Jun continuously dribbled the ball from his hips and took a small step to the right, attracting James to move laterally. He dribbled the ball behind his back to his left hand and gently touched his left shoulder to the left. James quickly followed him and moved his center of gravity laterally to the left.

As soon as James' right foot landed, Wang Jun dribbled the ball from his hips and changed the direction of his right hand, completely passing James.

Bosh's defense blocked his breakthrough route. Wang Jun moved the ball to the left corner while running. Curry and Gobert ran without the ball on the left side, completely empty.

Bosh was attracted by Wang Jun, and Bill could only pursue him. Curry's shooting speed is among the top three in the league. How can Bill, who has average physical fitness, catch up?

The ball hits the net hollowly, brush! 3 to 0.

Barkley exclaimed: "It's so accurate. Curry started the game with a three-point shooting percentage of 46.1%, a stat that devastated his opponents. He averaged 4.4 three-pointers per game, ranking second in the league. Ranking first is Wang. Jun is even crazier, averaging 4.7 three-pointers per game and shooting 45.2% from the field. This is the reason why the Kings have a winning streak!"

Smith sighed: "The Splash Brothers' three-point firepower is better than that of many teams. The main scoring methods of Carroll, Courtney Lee, Brooks, and Covington are also three-pointers. Compared with the Kings in the previous two seasons, , the outside performance has not deteriorated.”

Barkley smiled: "Without James on the offensive end, the Kings' scoring efficiency will not be affected. On the defensive end, Carroll and Aminu are definitely not comparable to James, but they are also far beyond people's expectations. Especially Carroll, 4 16 million per year is a great value.”

At this time, Thompson cut to the basket, caught the ball and threw a close shot, but was blocked by Gobert.

O'Neal added: "I think the most valuable thing is the Kings' two insiders. They are so good. Not to mention their offense, their protection of the basket is not inferior to those star insiders."

Just two months ago, the group of losers who people said would be a drag on Wang Jun all turned into high-powered players with basic salaries.

The Kings attacked and the ball was passed to Wang Jun. He stepped two meters outside the right three-point line and faced the frame.

James lowered his center of gravity to prevent a breakthrough, and Wang Jun suddenly pulled up and shot. The ball drew a wonderful arc and hit the net hollowly, swipe!

Splash Brothers, you deserve the title! 6 to 0.

Some fans sent text messages to CCTV5. "I can hear the sound of entering the water every time during the Kings game. It's so wonderful. Wang Jun's is Tian Liang, and Curry's is Guo Jingjing." (Curry: Why am I a woman?!)

Bill singled out Curry and broke through with the ball from the left. Aminu and Carroll shrank together, blocking the penalty area. Bill passed the ball to Thompson, who was open on the bottom line and did not shoot, nor did he attract any defense.

He stood for a while and passed the ball to Oladipo, who was receiving the ball. Carroll was unable to prevent the shot, and the ball was handed over to James in the middle. Wang Jun immediately got close to him and jammed James with his thigh, preventing him from turning around.

James leaned back twice, turned around and couldn't get rid of Wang Jun. The distance between the two of them with the ball frame was too close, and the rhythm of his shots was affected. Outside the three-point line, Bosh completed an off-ball screen, Bill moved, Aminu immediately changed defense, and James gave the ball to Bosh.

Bosh caught the ball and hit Curry in a misplaced position, turned around, and Gobert let Thompson wait under the basket. Bosh missed the rebound with one hand, and Thompson rushed to the left to grab the offensive rebound and score a dunk to break the deadlock. 6 to 2.

Thompson's dunks are fierce. In fact, he is the Cavaliers' weakness. It allows Gobert to play very comfortably. He does not have to always defend the penalty area and maximizes his strengths.

The Kings attacked, Curry was brought to the frontcourt to Wang Jun, and James got close to him.

Wang Jun led back, faced the frame two meters away from the three-point line, and waved to his teammates.

Gobert picked and rolled from outside the three-point line, Wang Jun broke through from the right, Bosh came up and forced him to the outside, and James chased and formed a double-team.

Wang Jun was not in a hurry to pass the ball. He dribbled under his hips to open up space with Bosh. He handed the ball to his left hand, lowered his center of gravity and leaned his back against James. He protected the basketball from the pursuit and interception of the two big men. He did not seek a breakthrough, just for a breakthrough. Delay and wait for Gobert to cut.

He insisted on not losing the ball for two seconds, and then the situation was reversed. While running, he sent the ball from the gap to the center with one hand. Gobert took the ball easily, took three steps, ignored Thompson's defense, and dunked the basketball with his right hand. 8 to 2.

With Wang Jun's connection, the Kings opened up both the inside and outside lines.
