Chapter 935 [much stronger than imagined]

At the end of September, the preseason training camp opened and the Kings did not make any trades.

The summer team trade rating, the Kings are in the D-level, the worst in the league, and the Cavaliers who got James got S-level rating, two extremes.

The "Princes" are in pain and happy. The pain is that he feels that the Kings cannot win the championship this season, and the lineup is completely incomparable to the 80-win season. The happiness is that the ball rights will be concentrated in Wang Jun's hands. Many people expect him to average 40+ per game and score high scores every game.

The only one who was worse than the King was Pacers. Because of internal strife, Stephenson went to the Hornets and Evan Turner joined the Celtics.

Paul George participated in the World Championships, and his broken leg was seriously injured in the training competition, and he was reimbursed for the new season. The video of his broken leg was posted online, making people feel heartbroken when they watched it. It was even more terrifying than Livingston's broken leg, and he bent at 90 degrees.

Being injured like this will be a great test for the players' future psychology. It took Livingston many years to get out of the shadows and dare to make some big moves on the court.

Hibert, who originally wanted to send away, stayed in the team because George was injured. Hibert makes people suspect that it was a locker room time bomb and could not exchange for good chips.

On Media Day, the Kings had a funny scene, and there was no suitable third person to take a photo of the promotional photo. Finally, Patterson, Wang Jun and Curry took a photo together, which was a fixed team in the new season.

His salary is just a little higher, with an annual salary of 6 million yuan. Judging from his performance last season, how can he be regarded as the core?

The king was looked down upon by the whole world and was interviewed by reporters, but Wang Jun was not low-key at all and said a few goals happily.

"I want to win the scoring champion, strive to win the regular season MVP, and lead the team to compete for the championship. This is the goal of the new season and has not changed from before."

Abc Radio reporters felt that he was too crazy and couldn't help but sarcastic: "With the Kings' current lineup, it's more appropriate to be in the playoffs? Many people think that the Kings are going to play badly this season and cannot even enter the playoffs."

"Have I missed the playoffs? I'm not the kind of waste who can only score points. I don't think these new teammates are weak, but they didn't have the chance to prove themselves before. Now they have the chance. As long as they work hard, I can guarantee that they will reach the peak of their careers at the Kings."

Another reporter asked: "In the summer, many outstanding players in the free market rejected the Kings. What do you think about this?"

"Through trading in the summer, the team has hoarded some draft picks. In the future, the team will focus on draft picks, rather than looking for veterans in the free market. If they don't come, everyone can understand that I am not charming enough, and I respect their choices." Wang Jun said with a smile.

Vivik was completely relieved. The lineup was so poor that Wang Jun had no idea of ​​leaving the king, and he would not leave in the future.

In the training camp, Kid tried many sets of tactics, with only Wang Jun as the core, and the others were very clear in division of labor, with three-pointers in defense and shooting.

Gobert gained weight in the summer and worked hard to train his strength. He weighed 111 kilograms. He was still too thin in height. He could fight against ordinary inside lines. He relied on his height and wingspan to make up for his lack of strength.

Whiteside has also made progress. Not only can he give amazing big hats on the defensive end, but after several years of training in the mid-range shot, he is also more reliable than before. He tried his best to compete with Gobert, but Kidd hasn't figured out who to use. His style is too similar, and he is a tall and long blocking maniac.

Curry wore protective gear on his ankle, and the coaching staff told him to reduce breakthroughs, and the task of holding the ball offense was on Wang Jun.

"Little Black Bean" is a substitute for Thomas. When he was with the Rockets, he once won the fastest-progress player award, averaging nearly 20 points per game. However, Kidd doesn't want this type of defender to play for too long and can be the surprises in the second quarter.

The power forward is Patterson, who is responsible for pulling out and shooting three-pointers. The space-type insider is worth an annual salary of 6 million yuan.

The biggest surprise is Demare Carroll. He not only can make stable three-pointers, but also has a greater defensive end, has height and speed. If the opponent is not good at attacking the basket, he can make a guest appearance as the No. 4 position to play small ball tactics.

Cootney Lee is more suitable for playing as a substitute, without rebounds or assists, and his offense mainly relies on three-point shooting, good defensive enthusiasm and average health.

Amino and Bamot have also shown their own strengths, which is defense. If you can't get high scores, the counterparts you have to guard against do not score points, and they are very hard-working in the training competition.

The most alternative rookie is Covington. 60% of his offense is outside the three-point line, with almost no independent attacks and throwing the ball whenever he catches it. Regardless of whether there is anyone in front of him, his playing style is really effective.

Rookie Wilcox, veteran Barbosa, and Carter are the team's marginalists and perform the worst.

After playing several pre-season games, Kidd was surprised to find that although the people selected by the management were not famous, they were not weak. They were desperate to defend and did not grab the ball. The Kings' lineup was much stronger than they thought.

The preseason is mainly running-in. Wang Jun averaged 20 minutes per game, performed averagely, 16.5 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and the team won 3 wins and 4 losses.

After the preseason, the Kings signed the 15th man and gave short inside Chuck Hayes an unsecured basic salary contract.

Hayes' contract with the Raptors expired, averaging 2.2 points and 3.1 rebounds last season, playing 12 minutes. He is useless on the offensive end, and he can use his strong body to resist the opponent on the defensive end.

When you need to fight against fat people, the king can send Shanghai Yes.

On October 28, there were three openers in the league, including the Spurs vs. Mavericks, Magic vs. Pelicans, Kings vs. Lakers.

When choosing opponents, the league always considers gimmicks first. Last season, the Kings and the Lakers won't start the game because they know that the Lakers will definitely not be able to beat them.

This season is different. The Kings have lost James. The media began to promote three days in advance that the Lakers have had a chance to revenge, in order to inspire Kobe's fighting spirit.

After Wang Jun joined the Kings, the Lakers have not won for four consecutive years, with 0 wins and 12 losses. Before that, the Lakers vs. Wang Jun's Bulls, 0 wins and 7 losses.

Kobe's last defeat of Wang Jun dates back to the 2003-2004 season. The Lakers and the Nets won both regular season games, while Kobe was injured in 2004-2005 and missed the game against the Nets. The Lakers played both games.

Wang Jun played against the Lakers, with a record of 21 wins and 2 losses. In addition to his rookie season, he was a complete crush.

Last season, Kobe failed to lead the team to the playoffs again, but he is still one of the most popular and most attractive stars because he still averages 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

His total score in his career has surpassed Michael Jordan and ranked third in the history list. As long as he maintains his form, it is not impossible to catch up with Jabbar when he retires. It is a foregone conclusion that he surpasses Karl Malone.

However, Kobe also has an embarrassing record. He averaged more than Havricke's per game last season, ranking first in the league in history. Every time he plays an iron this season, a new record is born. Considering his current state, the iron score is definitely the first in history, and it is difficult for future generations to break it.

The Lakers won 5 wins and 2 losses in the preseason, and their performance was average.

Judging from the lineups of both sides, the Lakers are not only full of stars but also far better than the Kings. But Kobe was very low-key in the interview and did not shout the slogan of winning, which disappointed Lakers fans a little.

He seemed to have lost a shadow, and even if the lineup was obviously superior, he would not dare to win easily.

Lakers' new coach Byron Scott also said: "As long as Wang Jun is here, the Kings are still a strong team. We will not relax our guard in this game, and will try our best to win."
