Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 937 [Fight however you want]

The Lakers did not make any substitutions, Scott just emphasized tactics.

Jack brought it to Kobe in the frontcourt, and the person guarding him was Wang Jun. Kobe and Boozer played a pick-and-roll, Carroll switched defenses, and Patterson marked Wesley Johnson on the baseline.

Carroll is responsible for guarding the pick and roll, which is an important tactic. The mixed defense with two people changing positions is not easy to mess up.

Kidd has a very flexible mind, but he is used to directing battles on the court. He is often in a daze off the court. He has been much better after a year of training. He would shout at players from the sidelines and direct their positions.

Wang Jun's close contact made it difficult for Kobe to face the frame. He leaned back twice, turned hard to the right, feinted with the ball, and wanted to point out his opponent to draw a foul.

This is Kobe's trick. Wang Jun has seen it too many times. He doesn't jump at all and raises his hands at close range to interfere.

Kobe lost his rhythm and refused to pass, so he switched to a pull-up. Under Wang Jun's interference, he made a shot, 10 to 4.

Wang Jun turned his head and saw the ball go in. He smiled and didn't care at all. If the opponent uses this offensive method throughout the game, it will be strange that the hit rate is high.

Curry brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Wang Jun.

He held the ball on the right and played a pick-and-roll with Gobert. Boozer switched defense. Wang Jun dribbled the ball to the right baseline to open up space. He dribbled the ball to his left hand under his crotch and quickly moved sideways to attract Boozer and Wei. The two of them made an idea and lobbed the ball into the paint.

Love and Patterson failed to get back to the basket in time, causing a mismatch in the penalty area.

Gobert caught the ball and turned around, but Jack didn't dare to foul. The opponent's arms were too long and he couldn't reach the basketball when he hit it high.

Gobert overwhelmed Jack and dunked the basketball with his right hand. 12 to 4, Wang Jun’s third assist.

Yu Jia joked: "Gobert's last name is missing one word. He should be called 'Long Arm'. It's difficult for opponents to guard him when he gets into the basket."

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe singled out Wang Jun and made a little space for a pull-up jumper. It missed due to interference. Gobert got the backcourt rebound and handed it to Curry.

Curry brought the ball forward to protect the ball and waited for Wang Jun to move. He screened Gobert on the right to get rid of Wesley without the ball. Patterson stood in the right corner to attract the defense.

Love was slow to defend and Boozer was on the baseline. Wang Jun caught the ball and shot a 70-degree open jumper. The rhythm and intensity were perfect, and he hit the net!

15 to 4, personal 7th point.

Scott requested a timeout. If he continued to defend like this, the home opener would be another massacre.

Van Gundy commented: "The Kings offense is very smooth. Without James, it becomes a one-man attack with the ball. Wang Jun can drive the whole team."

McBreen laughed and said: "If Wang Jun finally leads this Kings team that no one is optimistic about to win the championship, then he will be a god!"

Van Gundy smiled and said: "It will definitely be difficult to win the championship. The Western Spurs, Eastern Cavaliers, and Nets all have too strong lineups."

After the timeout, the Lakers made another substitution and increased the number of passes on the offensive end. There was no room for the pass. Seeing that 24 seconds were about to come, Boozer missed a high jumper.

The Kings attacked, and Wang Jun passed the ball to Patterson, who missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The Lakers couldn't counterattack with this lineup. They passed the ball several times in the position battle. Love forced a three-pointer from the outside but missed due to Carroll's interference.

After Kobe passed the ball, he went to the baseline to ask for the ball, but Love didn't pass the ball. Kobe was not very happy. Love was not happy either. He felt that the Lakers had no tactics at all and were just playing haphazardly. It was much more uncomfortable than when he was with the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies point guard Conley is very selfless and passes the ball as his first choice. Gasol is very good at high-post support and often plays inside passes and inside coordination. Love is the team's first offensive point, with 20 points for two consecutive years. Gasol I didn't even grab rebounds, but Love won two rebounding titles.

When he arrived at the Lakers, Love couldn't benefit from the system. Boozer, Jordan Hill, Randall, and Ed Davis are not good at supporting, so Scott asked Love to go out and be a fixed-point fort. His data will definitely drop.

Both sides hit the ball three times each. Boozer was substituted due to poor defense and the Lakers replaced Randall, a rookie insider with strong mobility.

The Kings attacked, Curry and Patterson played a pick-and-roll, dribbling the ball to the right, Wang Jun and Gobert covered without the ball, got rid of Wesley, and faced Randall.

Randall is only 203cm tall and moves very fast. Scott asked him to come up to guard the pick and roll.

The idea is correct, but Randall has no NBA experience at all, and all his understanding of Wang Jun comes from watching TV. How can he bear it when he is suddenly faced with the No. 1 player in the NBA?

Wang Jun took a step with the ball frame, took a step with his right foot and crossed the baseline. Half of his body collided with Randall and staggered. The referee blew the whistle to block the foul.

Even when playing in Los Angeles, Wang Jun still has a star whistle. Randall looks innocent. If the referee doesn't blow, Wang Jun adjusts his focus. With the second step, he can pull up the stick for a layup or pass the ball to Gobert in the middle. Misplaced shots are guaranteed.

He made two free throws, 17-4, his ninth point.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe was once again singled out. He repeated his old tricks and turned around to feint the ball. Wang Jun did not jump. Kobe instead dropped the ball to the inside. Randall caught the ball and forced a layup, but was slapped out by a big block from Gobert. Wang Jun picked up the basketball.

Randall still plays like he did in college, relying on physical attacks. How could he easily squeeze away against the monster with the largest wingspan in the league?

Wang Jun caught the ball, played a pick-and-roll from the outside, turned 45 degrees to the right, faced the frame and stepped forward. He took a step towards the baseline with his left foot. Randall followed. Wang Jun pulled the ball to the center, strode around, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Jack followed Gobert, fearing that Wang Jun would pass the ball, so how could he help with defense? Love followed Patterson to 60 degrees and didn't care. Kobe and Wesley were watching the excitement on the other side.

Wang Jun made space and hit the net with almost no interference. 19 to 4, personal 11th point.

Kobe took the ball on the right side, used a pick-and-roll to get rid of Wang Jun, and broke through Carroll's baseline railing for a layup. 19-6, he took all the Lakers' points.

Wang Jun's performance has just begun. He caught the ball and played a pick-and-roll, attracting Randall to pass inside. He assisted Gobert twice in a row. On the second goal, Gobert also caused a foul on Jack, making the score 2+1. .

Randall didn't know how to deal with this situation at all. He didn't guard the ball. Wang Jun shot directly, guarding too far outside. The opportunity was to lob the ball from his head into the basket. Gobert's talent advantage was obvious.

It's hard for Love to guard Gobert in the low post one-on-one, let alone Wesley and Jack?

The Lakers made a substitution at 8 minutes, and substitute point guard Ronny Price came on. The Lakers' offense became very difficult, and they had two targets on the outside who could be released. Players can only follow the coach's arrangements and hand the ball to Kobe again and again.

Kobe couldn't attract double-teams on the perimeter, but he did attract double-teams when he broke through, and his teammates couldn't make shots when they were separated. As long as the King takes care of Love and Wesley, everything will be fine.

Before the start of the season, many people were optimistic about the Lakers, believing that they had good players both inside and outside, as well as pitchers to open up space.

Having a pitcher doesn't mean he can play well. The person who breaks through and attracts double teams is the key to a team.

Kobe's ability to attract double teams now is far from what it was when he was young. When teammates take shots from the outside and there is always interference, the hit rate will naturally not be high.

Wang Jun faced a single defense and could play as he wanted. Randall had only been on the court for three minutes and was passed by Wang Jun four times. In the end, he couldn't stand the foul and was substituted for two fouls.

In the first quarter, Wang Jun scored 19 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists, leading the team to a 42-19 lead.
