Super Lord of the Rings

On November 1, the Kings finally ushered in the home opener against the Toronto Raptors. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā

The Raptors lost the first two games. After Bosh left, the strength of the team can be described as "bad". Not only did they lose their core, but they also lost their fighting spirit.

The Raptors have no salary space. They only brought in a few role players in the summer, and none of the capable stars are willing to join the Raptors. The geographical location alone is prohibitive.

The new additions include Linas Kleiza of the Nuggets, Barbosa of the Suns, Luther Hyde who was cut by the Rockets, and rookie insider Ed Davis.

The first two are not bad, but they are far from the level of stars. Now the leader of the Raptors is Luol Deng, who is good in offense and defense.

Therefore, the Kings players did not take the Raptors seriously, but only as a warm-up for the next game against the Lakers.

After the game started, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.

Taj Gibson started, and he did nothing under the defense of "rebounding idiot" Evans. In order to prevent the fast guard Jonny Flynn from breaking through, he also quickly paid the price of two fouls.

Flynn was the rookie selected by the Raptors with the 10th pick last season. He played 81 games in the first season. His speed and breakthrough are impressive, just like a replica of TJ Ford. He averaged 32 minutes per game, 14.9 points and 2.6 rebounds 4.7 assists.

This season he continues to secure his starting position and plays a role in the system. But back to the defensive end, Flynn, who is only 183cm tall, has become an obvious black hole, unable to guard anyone.

In other teams, Flynn may only be a marginal player, and the Raptors failed in the draft.

The defense of the starting No. 2 Sonny Wilms and center Bargnani is also not good. After Peja played, the King's offense was unstoppable.

After the cover, Bargnani faced Wang Jun, unable to stop the breakthrough. Once the bottom line was double-teamed, he was left open in the middle, and it was always Yi Jianlian who was left open.

Wang Jun scored 18 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, and James went for a triple-double with 6 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Yi Jianlian squeezed away Flynn's air cut, caught the pass three times for dunks, made a layup, and made a three-pointer. He made two fouls and made two free throws.

The trio helped the Kings lead 44-33.

second quarter,

James continued to lead the bench and Wang Jun rested. This was an attempt by Adelman to wait for Wang Jun to play in the second half and James rested to ensure that there was a strong ball-holding offensive point on the court to attract double-teams.

The Raptors played double guards Jarrett Jack and Barbosa. The orthodox swingman Julian White was too weak offensively and average defensively, so he was not allowed to play.

James exploded against Kleiza, made a breakthrough and made 4 free throws. Facing Jack, he caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-pointer. In the counterattack, he missed the backup center David Anderson and dunked with one hand.

He led the team to a wave of 9-0 and continued to increase the score. The Raptors adjusted by replacing Luol Deng in advance.

The adjustment is useless. Ray Allen can get a good chance by relying on Miller's pick-and-roll to get rid of the ball. Even if he doesn't shoot directly, David Anderson's defense is too bad and it is easy to pass.

The Australian center's offense was not very good, as soft as a noodle, when he was hit by Miller when he caught the ball, he swayed from side to side and couldn't stand firmly.

The Rockets first signed Anderson to add a big man who can stretch out after Yao Ming left. Anderson can shoot three-pointers and has a range. Not every big man who can shoot is Nowitzki. A soft egg without compromise.

After 6 minutes, Wang Jun came on the field, James rested, and changed the core to lead the offense.

Adelman is a perfectionist on the offensive end. No matter how much the team leads, he doesn't want to let the core lead the team on the field, and always maintain a strong point threat. In this way, Ray Allen does not need to attack with the ball, his possession of the ball is reduced, and his efficiency is much worse than that of the two superstars.

In the first half, the Kings led 85 to 65 by 20 points. The veterans have always had problems in defense. Wang Jun and James did not work hard to help defend, and relied on offense to solve their opponents.

In the second half, the two went together and had no intention of holding back.

Luol Deng's defensive ability was affirmed in the second season. He struggled to deal with a James, and he couldn't make up for it. When Peja played a guest role at the 4th position, the Raptors couldn't double-team, watching the two calmly play singles.

Bargnani became the worst player. He threw it out and was passed by Wang Jun. When he went out, Wang Jun made a sudden stop and made a jumper. He stepped back and scored a jumper. He played as easily as training.

This is what the insiders are most afraid of. There is no way to defend against Wang Jun if he is out of position. He is the most comprehensive at the 2nd position.

In contrast, James is a little easier to deal with, because most of the time he will choose to break through, a few shots, and there are traces to follow.

The Raptors manager who just signed a 5-year 50 million contract with Bargnani has a very ugly face. His defense is obviously not worth tens of millions, and he can't even grab rebounds.

Few bigs can space the floor as much as Bargnani, with a quick, fluid shot and a threatening first step after a fake. And few people have poor rebounding ability like him, allowing opponents to get what they want on the defensive end.

Since 2006, he has never brought much help to the team. The Raptors have been losing games in various tragic ways. He seems to be the next Villanueva.

What makes the Raptors' coaching staff even more depressing is that the score has not been widened to the point where it cannot be chased, so the stars do not go down to rest and maintain their advantage.

In fact, even if there are two defensive loopholes on the court, relying on the defensive abilities of James, Wang Jun, and Ray Allen, the Raptors will not be able to score so many points.

The three of them have a tacit understanding. Defense is not about staring at people, but increasing gambling steals and assisting defense steals. It's a fast-break performance if you don't grab it. If you can't grab it, you can open up and let the opponent shoot easily without fear of being reversed.

The pace is fast, the ball is passed a lot, and the king's gorgeous offense has mesmerized the fans, and some people are hoarse when they cheer.

In the final 146 to 120, the Kings won by 26 points.

It's just that such a score was played in regular time, and the commentators were dumbfounded.

Barkley sighed: "This year the Kings may break the team's scoring average record in a single season. They are offensive, and the defensive end is not very hard. It is the ultimate offensive basketball."

Smith checked the information and said: "In the past, the Nuggets scored the strongest in a single season. In the 1981-82 season, in 82 regular season games, the Nuggets scored more than 100 points per game, with an average of 126.5 points per game, creating a single NBA team. Highest scoring record in a season. Kings can definitely challenge this record."

CCTV5 cares more about player data. Wang Jun made 15 of 23 shots in 36 minutes, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 41 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

James had a triple-double with 28 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals.

Yi Jianlian was 20+ again, 8 of 12 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 21 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Currently, Wang Jun, James, and Yi Jianlian are the kings with the most points. If this continues, Yi Jianlian may also be selected for the All-Star Game."

Yu Jiaying said: "I think it is almost certain that Yi Jianlian will be selected this season. Not only his statistics have greatly improved, but his shooting percentage has also increased to 52%, which is the level of a super insider."

Of course, it is not a super insider, but playing next to a superstar, he is often emptied, and Yi Jianlian's data is exploding!
