Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 956 [Tricking the knight, optimistic about the king]

Wang Jun has locked in the regular season MVP and is just waiting for the award to be announced.

The Eastern Nets have a better record, but they have too many stars and relatively average statistics. The core Paul sacrificed the ball, averaging only 16.1 points and 10.4 assists per game.

Wang Jun won the Western Conference Player of the Month and led the Kings, a team that was not optimistic at all in the summer, to the best record in the Western Conference. No one can compete with him.

President Adam Silver was very depressed. The script did not develop in the direction he hoped. The Kings attracted fans the most, but there were too few live broadcasts arranged for them.

James is all bad news in the Cavaliers. He has been criticized by fans and his popularity has declined. Apart from spreading magnesium powder at the Cavaliers' home court and pretending to be B, he is not the best at other things.

Now, Xiao Hua only hopes that other teams in the playoffs can stop the Kings and not let Wang Jun continue to be arrogant. Homegrown stars haven't dominated the league for a long time, and he wants to change that.

At first glance, the Kings lineup only has two stars. There are many players who can play in the century, and no one seems to be redundant.

Carter and Mbah a Moute have rich playoff experience. Several swingmen can score and defend, and they must be brought along. After consideration by the coaching staff, Barbosa and newcomer Wilcox failed to make the 13-man roster.

Barbosa won the Sixth Man of the Year award that year, and he didn't even play in the Kings, which shows the depth of the lineup.

This season Barberse's state is unstable. He is a substitute at the No. 1 position and shares playing time with Brooks. He averages only 5 minutes per game. He appears in garbage time and shoots 36.4% from the field.

In view of Barbosa's poor performance in the playoffs last season, the coaching staff does not want to bet on him to regain his feeling. The Kings' 13 players are determined as follows.

Center: Gobert, Whiteside.

Power forward: Josh Smith, Patterson, Mbah a Moute, Covington.

Small forward: Carroll, Aminu, Carter.

Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Courtney Lee.

Point guard: Curry, Brooks.

The Kings' small forwards can all play as shooting guards, the three power forwards can also play as small forwards, and Wang Jun and Courtney Lee can also play as point guards. They are all swingmen.

Experts analyze that the Kings' winning strategy this season is the swingman, a small ball tactic.

When the opponent mainly attacks inside,

Gobert and Whiteside were the first to guard the penalty area. If the opponent does not have a scorer who is good at attacking the basket, Smith or Patterson can be used as a guest center to form a "death five" lineup to quickly counterattack.

No team in the league can completely defend against the Kings' counterattack. The offensive efficiency is super high, averaging 110.4 points per game. Several offensive players have left. This score is not low. The Kings' defense is much stronger than last season, allowing only 97.4 points per game.

The Kings faced the Mavericks in the first round and easily swept the team 4-0 to advance.

The Mavericks lack top perimeter defenders. Last season's second-round pick Crowder, 2003 veteran Dengtay Jones, and handsome forward Chandler Parsons were unable to limit Wang Jun.

The Mavericks' offense mainly relies on veteran Nowitzki.

Jeremy Lin averaged 15.6 points and 6.1 assists per game in the regular season, which was good data. Entering the playoffs, he was completely misfired against Curry, which dropped to 10.5 points and 5 assists, with a shooting percentage of less than 40%. He still needs to strengthen in terms of fighting tough battles.

After the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks frequently leaked people inside. Even Chandler couldn't prevent breakthroughs, and his speed slowed down. Stoudemire, who joined in the mid-term, is good offensively and defensively at the 4th position. He can also make a living playing center.

Cuban invested a lot of time and energy after buying the Mavericks, only to be disappointed time and time again. As Nowitzki gets older, the Mavericks' hopes of winning the championship become increasingly slim.

Many fans say Nowitzki is soft and unable to lead the team to win. He is probably one of the most wronged players in the NBA. It's not that Nowitzki has poor ability, but that he has bad luck. The Mavericks' lineup has always been flawed.

This team either has no defenders or lacks attack points.

At that time, Nelson was a master of tactics, and his tactical concepts were ahead of the league for many years. Over the years, if the Mavericks' center had not been Bradley, the high-paid but incompetent big pitcher LaFrentz, and Dampier, the "second center"... maybe the Mavericks would have won the championship long ago.

In other series, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 4-1, the Spurs eliminated the Pelicans 4-0, and the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers 4-3.

The Eastern Nets swept the Pacers, the Hawks defeated the Heat 4-2, the Cavaliers eliminated the Wizards 4-2, and the Bucks eliminated the Bulls 4-2.

The Cavaliers have become the most disappointing team. They lost two games against the Wizards. They also played very anxiously in the games they won, and they struggled with the opponent bit by bit in position battles.

In the mid-term, the Cavaliers traded for Mozgov and became the team's starting center. He partnered with Thompson, but neither had a mid-range shot and could not open up space.

Insider star Chris Bosh is out for the season, and the shadow area in James's heart has become infinite. He no wonder he was cheated by the league. It was his own choice to break out of his contract and return to the Cavaliers.

He really thinks that the Kings are no longer good and the Cavaliers' role players are better, and he wants to come back and prove his ability to lead the team.

The reason for Bosh's reimbursement is surprisingly similar to Varejao. He found a blood clot in his lung after the All-Star Game and will miss the rest of the season.

Accompanied by team doctors, Bosh is currently receiving treatment and recuperation at a hospital in South Florida. Cavaliers coach David Blatt said regretfully in an interview: "Bosh's condition will not threaten his life, but he will not be able to return to the court in the short term."

Typically, treatment for this condition takes at least six months, and during this time the patient's physical activity will be limited.

Blood clots in the lungs are a relatively serious symptom. Trail Blazers star Jerome Kersey recently passed away at the age of 52 due to blood clots in the lungs.

Bosh played a total of 44 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 18.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

Injuries have plagued the Cavaliers. Without their second-in-command, the Cavaliers' overall strength has dropped significantly, and they basically don't need to consider winning against the Nets.

The most watched series in the second round was the series between the Kings and the Clippers. The two teams brought together many star players with full offensive power and played at a fast pace.

Expert analysis believes that the Kings have a greater chance of winning and will advance 4-2 or 4-3. The reason is the personal ability of the stars and their rich playoff experience.

Online fan comments are also optimistic that the Kings will advance.

The two sides fought 4 games in the regular season and tied 2-2. People were optimistic about the Kings, which caused dissatisfaction among several Clippers players.

Griffin said: "All fans around the world know that Wang Jun is very strong and is the best star in the NBA, but he is just one person. The playoffs are where a large number of top players come together and two top teams compete. . I think the Clippers have the ability to advance."

When it comes to defending Wang Jun, Irving said: "You can only make his game as difficult as possible. He will always enter certain positions on the court. What the Kings do well is that they can continue to play established tactics. Wang Jun will not be left in a stagnant state. He will get a lot of pick-and-roll opportunities and shots. To guard him and Curry, this requires the efforts of the whole team."

Wang Jun was much more arrogant in the interview. He didn't take his opponent seriously at all.

"The Kings will advance easily, believe it or not. We have found a way to deal with the Clippers. They have never advanced to the Western Conference Finals and this time is no exception."
