Chapter 985 [Ten career crowns, writing legends]
Until the All-Star Weekend, the Kings remained unbeaten again, and Durant's shooting percentage hit a career high. Overall, 533 and 436 three-pointers.
In the past, in the Thunder, his opponent's defensive core must be Durant's main defense, and he often encounters double-teams. When he arrived at the King, Durant found that he was only the third core, and his opponent had to deal with Wang Jun and Curry first, and then he was.
This gave him many easy one-on-one opportunities, even open shooting opportunities, and his shooting percentage was naturally very high. Unfortunately, his free throw shooting percentage was 875 and he failed to enter the 180 club.
Durant only played 28 minutes, with Carol supporting him, he rarely hit the basket and was not injured. He was too relaxed.
At the press conference, Durant always praised Wang Jun, lamenting how easy it is to win at the King, which has attracted a lot of dissatisfaction.
The reason why fans hate the Kings is the same as when James was there, the superstar group lacks competition. Wang Jun, Curry, Durant and Whiteside were selected as All-Stars, and only Amino was not a star in the starting lineup, nor was it a weakness.
Bennet often plays in garbage time, performs well, has average data, and is full of fighting spirit. There are defensive experts in the team to compete, and he has made obvious progress on the defensive end. Not only does he stay this season, the Kings are also preparing to give him a contract in the future.
In the Star Game, LaVine participated in the dunk contest again, defeating Aaron Gordon and winning the dunk king. It is a pity for fans to fail to participate.
Curry was in a draw in the main competition, making three-pointers, scoring 37 points and 6 assists in the whole game, winning.
In the middle, the Kings did not change their lineup.
The Eastern Nets disintegrated, and the Cavaliers Bosh announced his retirement and did not trade big-name stars.
The Warriors lost Barnes, Noah, and the substitute Dudley, Azeri's level was much worse, and Iguodala's offense became worse and worse, his speed slowed down, and his strength decreased significantly.
Drummond Green performed well, with a quasi-double average of 184 points, 95 rebounds, and 74 assists per game, but if the team doesn't win, he won't be arrogant.
Western Spurs shooting guard Danny Green has dropped his shooting percentage for two consecutive seasons, and his condition is poor. Parker has become a weakness in the No. 1 position, with both offense and defense problems.
Age is just one reason for Parker's decline. After Leonard and Aldridge were straightened, the ball was not in Parker's hands and the rhythm was not controlled by him.
Parker's responsibilities on the court are no longer the same as before. He is a player who assists Double Deuts. His only advantage is that his shooting percentage is much higher than before. This is Parker's clear understanding of the role changes.
The Spurs cannot beat the king by relying on slow-paced positions.
The only one who can cause some trouble for the Kings is the Clippers. There are excellent players in every position, but Pierce played too badly and retired.
The Clippers just look good in lineup, they have never reached the Western Conference Finals, and they have never had any experience in winning the championship.
Irving is not a qualified core. His defense is poor and his organizational ability is average.
In the second half, the Celtics almost beat the King, and both sides played overtime, but the King still laughed to the end.
Wang Jun scored 8 points in overtime, and his physical strength was better. Celtic players could not run in the end. Physical strength often became a factor in determining the outcome in the final stage.
At the end of the regular season in April, the Kings really won the regular season, shocking the world.
Basketball experts analyzed the reasons for the King's victory. The other teams have weakened to varying degrees, and only the King has strengthened.
Durant's overall strength is not as good as James, his breakthrough ability is average, and his defense can only deal with role players, but he is more suitable for partnering with Wang Jun on the offensive end, and his mid- and long-distance shooting is accurate.
The top ten pitchers in the league, three of them are together and are good at sharing the ball rights, so the other teams are only abused.
In addition, when Durant received the ball on the periphery and played a player shorter than himself, two of Wang Jun, Whiteside and Amino would immediately grab the frontcourt rebounds, and the division of labor was very clear.
Durant is actually 210 and has good rebounding ability. The Kings rank first in the league in rebounding efficiency, which is also the key to winning.
Adam and Xiao Hua did not consider supporting other teams to fight against the Kings this season. After discussing with his subordinates, he directly promoted the Kings and decided to make Wang Jun the number one legendary superstar.
He thought it out, but he couldn't stop it anyway, so why not let it go? Wang Jun's behavior doesn't look like a normal human being, and he is full of mysterious power.
Xiao Hua just called Durant's agent himself. After the end of this season, Durant will go to other teams no matter what, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go back to the Thunder. It's okay to go to other teams to be the boss, but he can't stay with the Kings.
If they join forces, the league is really out of the way. Fans cannot only watch one team performing, and their personal honors are also won by Wang Jun.
Wang Jun scored another point leader with 304 points, averaged only 31 minutes per game, 66 rebounds, 63 assists and 18 steals, and won the regular season again with a record-breaking record, making him the eighth in his career.
Simmons became the best rookie. He and Wiggins partnered with the forward line, plus inside Embiid and Noel, and the 76ers returned to the playoffs.
Simmons has enough shots, averaging 186 points, 72 rebounds and 44 assists per game and won the Best Rookie.
People are optimistic about his future, but in recent years he has been difficult to create threats to Wang Jun, and he needs to hone his skills and accumulate experience. His shooting is unstable, and he is more like Griffin than James.
The Kings are stronger in the playoffs because Wang Jun is not afraid of confrontation, increases his playing time and is more brave.
Curry and Durant's efficiency declined significantly under high-intensity confrontation. This is the gap between them and Wang Jun and it is difficult to make up because they are not comprehensive enough.
The Kings swept the Grizzlies, the Pelicans, and met the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.
The Clippers were eliminated again in the second round and still missed the Western Conference Finals.
The Spurs' double tower speed was too slow and they were beaten by the King to counterattack. They fought against Wang Jun in the position and broke through after pick-and-roll, attracting double-teams to pass the ball, and they were easy to play.
He averaged 38 points, 53 rebounds and 75 assists in the series, leading the team to sweep the Spurs 4-0.
James' Cavaliers are still breaking out in the East. After the Nets disintegrated, there was no team competition at all.
Okafor averaged 178 points and 76 rebounds this season, replacing Bosh's position and having a star appearance. However, in the final, his performance was useless and the Cavaliers could not win.
Wang Jun plays Bill one-on-one, Oladipo can't find North, and it's easier to misalign the inside. Durant and Curry also have wonderful performances.
Jeremy Lin's offensive performance as the sixth man was pretty good, but his defensive end was useless.
The Cavaliers have thought about finding better outside defense players, but their salary is no longer allowed. Oladipo is a second-rate star, and people who are better than him will never have a small contract.
Wang Jun won the finals again with 327 points, 65 rebounds and 7 assists. Six players in the team scored in double digits, and even Carol could only play as a substitute. The lineup was really terrible.
The swingman combination of Barnes, Wang Jun, Durant, Amino and Carol made the Cavaliers' outside helpless.
The edge center Sabonis also played well. He has a soft feel, his shooting range is outside the three-point line, he is 208 tall, his movement speed is not slow, and he can also support the passing.
After the end of this season, the Kings will not renew their contract with Patterson. Sabonis is the perfect replacement. He inherited his father's golf business, which is shorter and more suitable for modern basketball.
Wang Jun won the 10th championship in his career and the eighth finals, continuing to write the legend.
To be continued.
