Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 961 [Defense enters the finals and shoots the first bird]

The Kings won 128 to 95 and eliminated the Warriors with a total score of 4 to 1. It was much easier than experts predicted.

Wang Jun scored a big triple-double with 24 points, 13 rebounds, 20 assists and 2 steals. He completed the organizational task very well, grabbing rebounds many times and passing the ball accurately to complete the counterattack.

When his teammates feel good, Wang Jun is willing to pass the ball to them. During the regular season, Wang Jun had a high assist performance in a single game. This time, he broke his personal playoff assist record in a single game.

Curry scored 46 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, setting a career high in the playoffs.

Whiteside made 8 of 10 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 blocks. He looked like a star center.

After being eliminated, Warriors head coach Kerr finally relented and admitted that the Kings defeated the Warriors to advance to the finals by relying on strength rather than luck.

"The stars are more capable and the defense is more fierce. This is the reason why the Kings won. They interfered with shots very well. The defenders rushed in and committed fouls very resolutely. It was difficult for us to cooperate smoothly." Cole said helplessly.

Kidd's confidence doubled. "Last season we lost the championship because of defense. This season, it's time to use defense to win the championship back."

Wang Jun also expressed his confidence to defeat his opponents and win the championship, but regretted that he lost last season and could not win consecutive championships.

The next day, the Eastern Conference Finals came to an end. The Nets won Game 5 at home, eliminating the Cavaliers with a total score of 4-1 and advancing to the Finals for the third consecutive year.

James had an epic personal performance, but facing a group of stars from the Nets, James could not stand alone, and he failed to win despite his overdraft.

The Cavaliers have the ball in James' hands, and he consumes a lot of energy in every game. In the third game, he suffered cramps in his legs and was limping. This scene made many people lament that it was not easy for him.

Player injuries not only ruined James' efforts, but also ruined a season that the Cavaliers worked hard on. The process seems tragic, but history will only remember the winners.

The area of ​​​​James' psychological shadow has greatly increased, the Cavaliers were eliminated, and the King without him has been advancing all the way. The strong contrast makes him an incomparable failure.

Online, while fans congratulated the Nets for advancing, many people also laughed at James.

"Does anyone still say that James is actually the true core of the Kings? The Kings have lost their core and entered the finals."

"The only impression James left on people this season was that he eliminated Wiggins and Oladipo.

If Bosh and Cousins ​​were not introduced as teammates with these potential new stars, I think the record would not be much different. "

"The fact is obvious. James is only suitable to be the second in charge. If it weren't for the lack of competition in the Eastern Conference, he wouldn't even be able to make it to the conference finals."

"If Wang Jun hadn't taken fewer shots that year, James wouldn't have won the Finals MVP. The gap was obvious once we separated."

After reading these remarks, James' heart bleeds. People can't see his efforts, only his embarrassment, and only care that he lost.

After sending Wiggins away in the summer, I don’t know who he can get back.

The worst thing is that Bosh doesn't know how well he can recover. If he can't play next season, the Cavaliers will have no room to introduce big-name players.

President Adam Silver gave James a cross in his heart. If the Kings play badly, James can still be promoted as a superstar even if he doesn't win the championship this season.

It's a pity that the Kings played so well that there are more people who hate James than people who like him. If the league continues to forcefully promote him as the best star, there will be no good results.

What the league has to do now is to make the finals as exciting as possible and attract more viewers. Xiao Hua told the people below to control the whistle and not to have any bias.

From 2010 to now, the league has finally emerged from the "Black Whistle Storm" and can no longer arouse doubts in this regard.

ESPN found a 14-member expert team to conduct a detailed comparison of the lineups of both sides and predict the outcome.

Point guard: Curry VS Paul, the Nets have the advantage. Paul is already recognized as the number one point guard in the league. Curry has exploded this season, averaging 23.8 points and 5.2 assists per game. He has strong scoring ability but is slightly inferior overall.

Shooting guard: Wang Jun VS Wade, the Kings have the advantage. Wade's statistics are declining and his condition is declining, while Wang Jun is playing the No. 2 position in the league.

Small forward: Carroll VS Joe Johnson, the Nets have the advantage. Joe Johnson is a swingman with comprehensive skills and a 7-time All-Star, while Carroll is just a 3D role player.

Power Forward: Josh Smith VS Randolph.

Randolph is still a powerful weapon in the paint, with excellent mid-range shots and excellent low-post skills. Josh Smith is strong defensively and weak offensively. He has the body and experience, so he is more suitable to be the starter than Aminu. On the defensive end, Randolph performed poorly, so this position is considered a tie.

Center: Whiteside VS Gasol. In terms of experience and skills, Gasol is better. On the defensive end, Gasol has a height and wingspan, so it is not a loophole to play center. The Nets have the advantage.

In the substitute competition, the Kings mainly rotate Brooks, Gobert, Patterson, Covington, and Courtney Lee. They are young and energetic.

The Nets' bench is even more famous, with Andre Miller, Alan Anderson, Pierce, Bogdanovic, Telitovic, and Reggie Evans.

Veteran Miller is a strange person in the NBA, not because he and Karen Mok collide, but because his attendance rate is too high. He played 1,265 regular season games in 16 seasons. This season, at the age of 39, he played 81 games, making him the number one iron man in the NBA.

His playing style, simply put, is "don't jump, don't jump, just don't jump." His jumping height for shooting and layups makes it difficult to get injured.

However, he can still score a lot of points. He is not accurate in three-pointers and can sit on his butt and suffocate other defenders. In 2010, Miller was with the Trail Blazers. At the age of 34, he scored a career-high 52 points and only made one three-pointer.

Both "Vitches" and Anderson have range, and Evans can rebound. Although Pierce's condition has declined, he has no problem scoring with the bench.

Just because there are too many people playing, Kirilenko has no place.

The 76ers and Nets completed a trade on December 10 last year, sending Brandon Davis for Andrei Kirilenko, Yog Gutierrez and the Nets' 2020 second-round pick. .

The deal saved the Nets nearly $12 million in salary and luxury tax.

Experts generally believe that the Nets also have an advantage on the bench, and their lineup is the ultimate star team in recent years.

There are 8 experts who are optimistic about the Nets winning the championship, and 6 experts who are optimistic about the Kings. The overall evaluation is 40-60, and the Nets have a slightly higher winning rate. The Nets had a better record in the regular season and had too many stars.

People who are optimistic about the King have only one reason, and that is Wang Jun. He has never failed to enter the finals.

As soon as the news came out, online fans made a lot of comments and voted for predictions about the game.

The Kings received an approval rating of 76%. No matter how the Nets are promoted, most fans hope that the Kings will win the championship.

Some people lamented that the current alliance groups are so powerful that the Big Three are nothing.

Some people disdain the Nets, thinking that even if they win the championship, it's nothing big. A group of stars come together, and with the luxury tax, their salary is nearly double that of the Kings.

There are also celebrities who are complaining about the current level of the league, and their sense of presence is greatly increased.

Oscar Robertson recently stated on an ESPN program that the defensive intensity of today's NBA is difficult to compare with that of the past. If we put it in the past, Wang Jun would not be able to achieve his current achievements. "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar agreed with Robertson's remarks.

As the saying goes, "shooting the first bird", Wang Jun broke records one after another, and when his honors caught up with the major celebrities, the old people couldn't sit still.

As for whether the Nets team can win the championship, they don't care. They are a group of people without honor anyway.
