Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 942 [Sparrow turns into Phoenix]

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

Barkley looked at the data and said: "Wang Jun scored 36.5 points this season, ranked first in the league with 2.5 steals, and ranked fourth in the league with 9.2 assists. His skills are enough to be a point guard. If he mainly passes the ball, he may be able to become a point guard." After Robertson, another player averaging 30+10 assists per game."

Smith lamented: "If Wang Jun switches to point guard, his physical advantage will be more obvious, but with Curry here, Kidd will definitely not arrange it like this."

O'Neal said: "If the Cavaliers cannot attack inside today, it will be almost impossible to win. The King clearly has the advantage on the outside."

Can the Cavaliers' interior offense be opened up?

The answer is of course no, and it has been verified many times in previous games. The Cavaliers' offense was not smooth and their play was very ugly. The scoring mainly relied on the individual abilities of the stars. When James could not attract double-teams, the ball would not move.

In the summer, many famous veterans took salary cuts to join the Cavaliers, including Mac Miller, Marion, and Haywood who have signed big contracts.

These are all superstars, and they are all blue-collar insiders. They have no statistics at all on the field. The defensive end is too slow. The only one who is useful is Marion, with 4.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in 19 minutes.

It was a helpless move for Blatt to let Wiggins come on the bench. There must be a high-ranking rookie to accept the bench position, otherwise there will be no one to lead the offense in the second quarter. Oladipo's ability to hold the ball is weaker, and Wiggins is the most suitable.

The Cavaliers defended the interior very poorly. Wang Jun attracted double-teams and provided assists time and time again. Even if Gobert failed to make a shot in the penalty area, he could still cause fouls and damage.

Wang Jun had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in a single quarter, heading for a triple-double. The Kings led 34 to 21.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers' offense was completely misfired. Wiggins was restricted by Courtney Lee and Anumi. Only Dellavedova scored two points against Brooks.

On the Kings side, Brooks, Covington, and Whiteside ensure the offensive firepower. Covington hit two three-pointers in a row, and the point difference continued to widen.

If before the season started, some people said that Robert Covington would become an important rotation player for a team and the best sixth man. 90% of fans will ask: "Who is Covington? Does he play football?"

Covington is so grassroots that not many people know him. He entered the NBA out of the draft and went from fringe player to substitute to sixth man in only 8 games. His performance became more and more outstanding.

In addition to his sharp three-point shooting and abnormal 218cm long arms,

He also showed solid footwork and wasn't too bad defensively. Viewed from behind, Covington and Aminu are like brothers, one attacking and one defending.

As a "power back", Covington's attributes of always being on the outside have helped the team. When he plays the 4th position, the opponent's defense will have a huge headache.

It's impossible to stay even a little further away from Covington. He shoots too resolutely and may throw a three-pointer at any time after receiving the ball.

Playing an average of 25 minutes per game, Covington can score 13 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1.1 steals. His three-point shooting percentage is 40.1%. The overall shooting percentage is 38.5%. Three-pointers are more accurate than two-pointers.

He participated in the draft after his senior year and has a relatively stable mentality. The shortcomings are also very prominent. He has no offensive ability with the ball. This is really not a shortcoming in the Kings.

The Cavaliers still have to rely on James. He is very strong, can shoot from mid- to long-range, and has also practiced back-up offense. Even if Wang Jun is the main defender, he cannot completely prevent him.

Wang Jun's method of coping was to cut off the connection between James and his teammates and let them fight independently. The Kings players played vigorously and flourished under Wang Jun's organization.

At the end of the three quarters, Wang Jun scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 17 assists, including four alley-oops, two to Whiteside, one to Gobert, and one to Aminu.

James was completely helpless. He worked hard to defend Wang Jun, but Wang Jun mainly assisted his teammates and didn't take many shots, which made him waste his energy in vain.

James had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the three quarters, completely outperforming Wang Jun in terms of efficiency.

The Kings led by 24 points entering the final quarter, and both Wang Jun and James rested. By the time Blatt wanted to replace James, the point difference had widened to 30 points, and it was garbage time.

The elite veterans of the Cavaliers simply cannot defeat the Kings, a group of grassroots recruits from various teams.

In the end, 107 to 82, the Kings won their 19th consecutive victory.

Wang Jun's statistics make fans feel a little regretful. He only played a total of 31 minutes. If he played for a while, he would probably have double-20 point guard statistics.

Wang Jun doesn't care at all. What he desires is to surpass 100 points in a single game and be the first in the league. There are too many people who can score double 20 points.

When leaving the court, James was expressionless and lost in his heart. He suspected that he had made the wrong choice.

His mood was like that of a girl who went to a big boss for money and missed her handsome ex-boyfriend.

Although the boss has money, he has health problems, and the ex-boyfriend has no money, but he is great in bed.

If he doesn't leave the Kings, James will definitely win the championship this season, and the team's defensive intensity will be even higher with him. There are plenty of reasons to stay. It can be said that I want to help the Kings regain the championship before leaving, and leave successfully.

It was too unsatisfactory to lose and leave. Everyone believed that James chose the Cavaliers, who seemed to have a better lineup, just for the championship. Now he is being slapped in the face like crazy, repeatedly! His historical status declined.

Sure enough, as long as you open the sports website after the game, you will be overwhelmed by news that belittles James and praises Wang Jun. Adam Silver couldn't stop the fans from speaking.

No matter how you promote a star, you must have evidence of strength and record. Otherwise, you can only praise them higher and throw them down harder. There are too many examples of this in the league.

After two days of rest, the Kings faced the Pacers without core Paul George at home and won 20 consecutive games.

The fans were not happy, and some blamed the Pacers for being too weak, which caused Wang Jun's data to drop, and he only played a total of 18 minutes.

After defeating the Jazz, the Kings defeated the Lakers again in an away game, beating their opponents wildly.

After playing more than 20 games, Scott has not yet determined the starting lineup. Price, Davis, and Hill will start this game, with Boozer, Jack, and the returning Nick Young as substitutes.

Scott's move was to liberate Kobe, give the ball to Kobe to lead the team, and partner with blue-collar workers who did not steal the ball. There were also people on the bench who were scoring points, and the tactics were completely arranged by Kobe.

Unfortunately, this lineup not only failed to help Kobe achieve superstar performance, but his statistics also dropped. His teammates couldn't attract the defense. Kobe was double-teamed when he rushed in, and his pull-up from the outside was not accurate. How to play this game?

A coach who takes things for granted like Scott is only suitable for leading a team to fail. The Lakers' chances of being in the top three of the draft have soared. Expecting him to arrange tactics so that players can take advantage of their own strengths is nonsense.

Kobe and Wang Jun failed miserably against each other again, making 11 of 27 shots, barely reaching 40% from the field. In addition to free throws, he scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

Wang Jun scored 38 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists without any effort. In the final quarter, he watched from the sidelines as Kobe led the team to chase the 40-point deficit.

Against the Rockets on the 11th, the Kings won easily. Howard was injured. Gordon was not as good as before after being injured twice. The Rockets had no offense and poor defense.

On the 13th, the Kings defeated the Pistons and won 24 consecutive games.

The Kings finally lost on the 16th, losing to the Thunder at home.

Westbrook and Durant both returned. Adams, Ibaka, and Robertson defended well. Substitute Jackson had a fit, and the Thunder had the last laugh 104-98.

Even if they lose, the Kings are ranked first in the league without any suspense, and Wang Jun leads the MVP list.

The Kings are the favorites to win the championship again.
