Chapter 938 [Have to use actions to prove]

In the second quarter, the king sent Cootney Lee, Carter, Covington, Amino, and Whiteside.

Amino played the No. 4 position and did a good job of preventing breakthroughs. Whiteside also defended Jordan Hill. The opponent played with his body, and the "white border" was also outstanding in his body.

In order to strengthen the defense, Kidd let Cootney Lee play the guest-game point guard, Carter is in charge of the organization, and Brooks continues to sit off the court.

Barbosa suffered a little injury in the playoffs and was not included in the roster.

The Kings' substitute attack was average, with amazing defense intensity, and maintained the advantage of the score. When Kobe returned to the court, Wang Jun immediately came back to face him.

Kobe relied on cover to get rid of Wang Jun, and also faced Amino, who was tall, long and fast. This was just like James' defensive role at the time. He didn't need to resist people, but he had to resist defenders' breakthroughs.

With Kobe here, the Lakers will never be able to focus on the inside, and the Kings' tactics are based on the opponent's characteristics.

Cootney Lee defended Lakers rookie Clarkson and also proved himself.

Wang Jun and Carol returned to the court, and the Kings' outside defense was airtight.

Kidd boldly activated Carol, he can play swaying at the 3 and 4 positions, and has outstanding comprehensive abilities. His weakness is that he cannot create offensive opportunities by himself. The ball is in the hands of Wang Jun, and he can just wait for the opportunity to shoot three-pointers.

In the second half, Kobe was still so uncomfortable that he was entangled by Wang Jun that he could not get rid of it. He could only end the offense with a high-difficulty jump shot again and again, with very low efficiency.

On the other hand, the Lakers dare not let Kobe and Wang Jun face each other, and they can easily break through. Kobe is now fighting to break the offensive record, saving as much strength as possible on the defensive end, and Wang Jun will have an opportunity as soon as he strikes back.

The score cannot be caught up, and Love and Boozer, who are good at attacking, cannot play together, otherwise there will be loopholes. The Kings lead 35 points in the third quarter, and the game enters garbage time.

The Lakers replaced Randall again in the final quarter, intending to train the new players.

Randall's offense mainly relies on the face frame to break through. Amino was taller than him and moved faster than him. After finally passing by, Whiteside was waiting at the basket.

Randall was in a hurry. With 7 minutes and 18 seconds left in the final quarter, he forced a layup and made a dangerous move. He tripped his left foot under Amino's position and fell to the ground in pain and could not get up for a long time.

It was not until the stretcher car finally entered the field that Randall was transported out of the field and looked very serious.

At this time, Wang Jun had already been resting off the court and was a spectator. All 12 Kings appeared, and the marginals fought against the Lakers' main force.

Kobe actively attacked, but he couldn't find any feeling when facing Amino. Amino's arms were very long, and he was not good at shooting, and he could always jump in time to interfere with the shooting. In the last 3 minutes, Kobe was replaced.

119 to 81, the Kings won 38 points.

Wang Jun played for 38 minutes, made 18 of 26 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, scored 51 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals.

Kobe made more shots than Wang Jun, making 12 of 34 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 30 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

The Kings scored in double digits, and Curry also scored 20 points and 6 assists.

Gobert scored 12 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks, Carol scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Patterson scored 11 points and 6 rebounds.

After scoring 50+ in the first game, Wang Jun naturally became the focus of the post-match, and the reporter asked him to evaluate the game.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "I didn't have to play for 38 minutes, but when I said that the King was still a strong team, many people didn't believe it, so I had to prove it with actions."

The reporter asked: "The Kings are all marginal players in each team this season, except for you and Curry. What do you think is the secret to winning?"

"I really appreciate this group of teammates now. They may have to improve their offense, but they work very hard on the defensive end. This is what we lacked last season. The Kings have regained their defensive tenacity."

After hearing this, the reporters on the scene thought that the Lakers were just a real negative teaching material. Last season, the Lakers played badly because they couldn't defend themselves. Not only did they not introduce defensive players, but they also sent Gasol, who could support them.

Although Gasol is a veteran, defense is better than Love. As for Boozer, an annual salary of 3.2 million is really not a cheap one. He is just a defensive black hole, allowing the defenders to live a fun life.

The Lakers' best outside player with the best defense at present is Wesley Johnson, which is really sad. The Lakers have a lot of attackers. There are also "single king" Nick Young on the injury list, and one goal is not enough to play.

In one game, the ambitious Lakers were beaten out of their spirits again.

Fans who originally thought that Love could save the team when he came, no one expected them. Love only scored 16 points and 10 rebounds in the game, and shot 40% from the field.

The double-double data simply cannot make up for his poor performance on the defensive end. He is not suitable for playing power forwards. It may be better to fight against people at low posts.

The Lakers' bad luck is not just a failure in the opening game. Randall, the No. 7 rookie, was diagnosed with a tibia fracture of his right leg and had to undergo surgery. He is expected to be on standby for 4 to 6 months and declare his season reimbursement. He was reimbursed in the first game of his career. This kid is too bad.

Of course, Lakers fans will continue to pay attention to the Lakers game and support Kobe, and this will not change.

Last season, the Lakers and Kobe renewed their contract for two years in advance, and his contract will last until the summer of 2016. At that time, Kobe will be 38 years old and will play for the Lakers for 20 years.

This contract made Kobe very satisfied. After the signing ceremony, he posted a screenshot of his signature contract with the team online and wrote "A Lifetime Lakers".

Previously, the record for the longest NBA player playing for the same team was set by Stockton for the Utah Jazz, who played for 19 years. Kobe has been playing for the "Purple and Gold Army" after being selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft and traded to the Lakers. After fulfilling his new contract, he will be with the Lakers for 20 years.

However, Kobe's new contract value is US$48.5 million in two years. This season, Kobe is also the highest-paid player in the NBA. If nothing unexpected happens, this honor will still be with him next season. Judging from the Lakers' record and without considering commercial value, his contract can be called a high salary and low performance.

The next day, the Kings opened back to back at home, with the Warriors, who won 111-107 and won two consecutive victories.

Lowry also stole a lot of attention from Biao Curry.

Lowry made 14 of 26 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, scored 41 points, 7 assists and 4 steals.

Curry was even more crazy, making 14 of 24 shots, 9 of 15 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, and scoring 44 points and 7 assists.

Wang Jun scored a quasi-triple double-double with 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. Thompson was defended by Wang Jun, Carol and Amino only scored 12 points in the whole game, which was the main reason for the Warriors' loss.

In the inside competition, Gobert, Whiteside and Patterson also withstood the Warriors' crazy attack. Warriors Monroe and Anderson can attack but have poor defense; Noah has excellent defense and rough offense, and they all have weaknesses.

The King defeated the Warriors, who were predicted to be the top three in the Western Conference with the Fringeman lineup. The media's tone changed all of a sudden, and fans began to look forward to the Kings again.

Many people have commented online.

"Damn it, it doesn't matter if the Kings are not James. The offense is still very strong, but James's balls are thrown by others."

"Has James defended Curry over the years? It felt so amazing."

"It is predicted that Wang Jun averages 40+ defending scoring champions per game in the regular season, and he doesn't need James at all."

"Did those teams that mocked the Kings' lineup start to tremble?"
