On the afternoon of the 25th, Spoelstra started mobilizing in the locker room before the game.

"Today is the Christmas battle. Our game is the most popular and we need to start a good start for the new season. The Kings were very strong last season, but their lineup has changed a lot, and the players' condition has also declined significantly. They lost to the Warriors twice in the preseason. Wang Jun's shooting feels bad, I believe he can win!"

Then, he arranged the tactics. "Bosh started the center and cooperated with Dwyne in pick-and-roll. Mario (Chalmers), Kyle (Korver) looked for opportunities on the outside, and Joel (Anthony) followed James closely, so don't let him break through easily. Andrew took the substitute and attacked from low post, attracting double-team passes."

In the finals last season, Shrew found that Bogut was present and it was difficult to defend against the Kings' pick-and-roll and fast break. Yi Jianlian left this season. He believed that the Kings would definitely have more firm tactics on small balls and made targeted arrangements.

The home team players appeared and held a simple ring awarding ceremony as usual. The veterans who retired last season all came to the scene and received the rings.

Divac expressed his thoughts and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for this day for too long."

Indeed, if the NBA shutdown does not end for a day, they will not be able to get the ring. They can only wait, which is also a torment.

CCTV5 live broadcast two games today. In addition to the Kings, they also pay attention to the Clippers vs. Warriors, and the game will start later.

During the warm-up, Zhang Heli introduced: "NBA has been suspended for a while, and the Kings' market has not been affected. It was full in the first game. And today the players wore red jerseys, which is the new model this year, and it really started well."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "It is said that this was specially designed by Vivik Ranadave to please Chinese fans. The Kings have never worn red before. Their traditional uniforms are blue, white, purple and black."

Zhang Heli said: "I lost two games in the preseason. Many people think that the Kings' lineup is weaker than last season. Alien went to 76ers and several veterans retired. The starting lineup will definitely change greatly today."

Both sides started the stage.

The five kings: Curry, Wang Jun, Bathir, James, Vucevic.

Five Heats: Chalmers, Wade, Korver, Joel Anthony, and Bosh.

This focus battle is the most gimmick, and Tn*t radio also broadcasts live, and the retired "Big Shark" O'Neal is the guest of advice.

O'Neal said curiously: "It's very surprising that the Heat used Anthony to defend, but it's understandable that the Kings actually let Montenegro center Vucevic start."

Kenny Smith continued: "He received average reviews in the draft, but he looked like he was a good figure, but he didn't look very soft."

Barkley smiled and said, "It's time to get a fight. I don't think the King needs a tough guy center, he can shoot."

Vucevic is 213cm tall and weighs 109 kilograms. He has never played in the summer league and has never appeared on the court. Many people speculate that he is a delicate tall and thin man, who is good at shooting like many European insiders.

This is not the case. Vucevic only looks delicate and gains weight to 113 kilograms in summer. He works hard to train his muscles and has good strength. He can cut empty spaces and hit low positions, but his athletic ability is average.

After the Kings reported, Vucevic played very bravely during training, and was sure to shoot in the mid-range shot after pick-and-roll, and he also beat Whiteside and Miller in a one-on-one match.

The coaching staff felt that they had found a treasure, so of course they had to focus on cultivating him.

The unlucky Whiteside thought there was a soft boy to bully, but he was still the number one coach in the team.

Miller lost his regret after winning the championship. He didn't practice ball during the holidays and weighed three kilograms. His speed was slower than before and he couldn't keep up with the pace.

Adelman could only let Vucevic start, otherwise he would have to play small ball tactics with Tegibson, who was too short to defend the basket and lacked the ability to withdraw air.

Bosh won the jump ball and the game began.

The ball was handed to Wade, Bathir was in charge of defense, and Wang Jun was in charge of playing against Korver.

This is a change that the Kings did not have last season. If Peja Stojakovic starts, he can only deal with players who are not good at attacking, otherwise it will become a loophole.

No matter which team Battier is in, he is almost responsible for the number one scorer on the outside.

Maybe the opponent will get high scores, but he will complete the task meticulously, consume the opponent's core physical strength, and give the team's core strength more energy to use on the offensive end.

Wade broke through with the ball on the right and relied on speed to get rid of it. James let Joel go back to defend, and Bathir chased him to defend, forming a double-team.

Both of them were higher than Wade and blocked the pass route. Wade couldn't use his tracks, so he leaned on James, protected the basketball and took him out, looking for teammates to help him.

After receiving the ball, Chalmers took two steps and handed it to Bosh who was pulling to the outside. Vucevic defended it.

He wanted to prove himself very much, and did enough to conquer before the game, knowing that Bosh is good at shooting.

But Bosh didn't just know how to shoot. He held the ball and started with his left foot, and passed Vucevic in one step and broke into the basket. He was very beautiful, which doesn't mean he could easily score.

James let go of Joel again, retracted the basket to make up for defense, and stuck the position. Bosh made a one-handed throw, and missed the basket under interference.

Vucevic grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Curry, who kept asking Wang Jun to launch a fast attack.

Wang Jun rushed to the basket with a three-point line against Korver, jumped up in two steps, and pulled the ball into the basketball. 2-0.

Korver's defense at the Jazz is better than before, but he is the kind of character who looks quite good at defending but the ball is covered. His problem is that he is not oppressive enough to the attacker and has no obvious restrictive ability to all aspects, so the counterattack star is easily blasted into a scum.

Wang Jun is not in charge of defense and Wade can fight back. He knows that he doesn't feel good and hasn't practiced shooting much for five months. It takes time to find a feeling, so he mainly breaks through.

The Heat attacked, Wade took the ball and scouted the ball, broke through again on the left, and passed Bathir in one step.

Every year, people question whether Wade's health will worsen, and his explosiveness has always been among the top 10 in the league, with the first step being particularly rapid.

This time he walked on Vucevic's side, Bosh pulled James out, Wade passed Vucevic, and pulled the ball backhand to the basketball. 2-2.

Joel rarely gets passes when he is empty. He is 206cm tall and weighs 111kg. He is a pure blue-collar worker, just defense, and he doesn't have to do anything else.

This characteristic makes him have no points, no rebounds, no assists, and his data is extremely bad. He can still get involved in the NBA and become an alternative existence.

When returning to defense, Wade gritted his teeth and stared at Wang Jun fiercely.

Wang Jun ran to the right bottom corner and stood firm. The most accurate shooting position stopped moving, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to attract defense.

This made Wade very helpless. Once Wang Jun stood here, he could not help his teammates defend, otherwise he might lose points if he scored the ball. Bathir opened the bottom corner on the other side.

James beat Joel on the left side, and successfully got rid of the change direction and broke into the basket. Bosh returned to defend and double-team, James scored the ball to a high position, Vucevic made an open jump shot. 4-2.

When returning to defense, Vucevic smiled happily, and his role in the system was obvious.

He felt that he had joined the team that suited him the most, had certain ability to support and pass, and was able to shoot, so Princeton was so comfortable to play.

Zhang Heli sighed: "The newcomer, the King, performed well and was not at all nervous."

Yu Jia nodded: "If he can seize every opportunity like this, he will be a qualified starter."
