Chapter 960 [Wang Jun who balances offense and defense is even more terrifying]
The battle against Wang Jun made 12 of 2 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists with a quasi-triple double-double.
The Warriors tried every means to defend, but still couldn't defend him. He used a breakthrough pass to drive the entire team.
Curry scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming the best helper.
Lowry scored 34 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Thompson made 6 of 18 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and scored only 15 points and 3 assists.
In the second game, the Kings still had the same tactics. Wang Jun was responsible for the offense with the ball, the whole team was firm in defense, and the counterattack was very resolute.
Wang Junjie committed two fouls in three minutes, and sent him to guard the water dispenser. The counterattack was accompanied by a "swinging arm around the big loop", which made it very easy to foul against opponents with long arms.
Iguodala played, but his single defense failed to limit Wang Jun, and he was overtaken several times by his energy and skills. Iguodala played with his body, and Wang Jun is now faster than him and has better health.
When counterattacking, Wang Jun took a big step and turned around and leaned against Iguodala. He couldn't defend himself with this move. He was as tall and weight as he was, and Wang Jun could beat him to throw by jumping.
Wang Jun can now understand why some players with good physical fitness always cannot practice skills well. If their physical fitness advantages are great, they do not need skills at all. They rely solely on basic movements and are extremely powerful. It is so cool.
When he first joined the league, he could only do floor flow and technical flow, and his foundation was extremely solid. Now he is better at utilizing his body.
On the offensive end, Iguodala was followed by Carol, and it was difficult to create a mobile phone chance, so it was followed by a run.
When playing against a weak team in the regular season, Iguodala often scored less than 1 point. When facing the Kings, his offensive end was almost useless.
Iguodala has always lacked talent in shooting, and the high muscle mass has affected his feel from the reverse. The three-point shooting percentage seems to be decent, but most of the three-point shooting percentages he shot are open, and only 2 shooting percentages in the right corner are even more flawed.
His mid-range shot is a mess, and his mid-range jump shot at any position is unqualified.
In addition, there are free throws that he has been regressing year by year. A swingman at No. 2 and No. 3 can only provide a free throw shooting percentage of about 6. This time he is even worse, with only 53, and there is no deterrent power on the offensive end.
Iguodala is 31 years old and her physical fitness is about to finish her meal.
His contract is 480,000 yuan in four years. Few people say that he has a high salary and low ability. There is always the saying "The role of the number one brother cannot be reflected by data", but it should be better if he exchanges this money for someone.
For example, his role is not as good as Conley, who is 10,000, and Tony Allen, who is 50,000.
In this game, Thompson was completely beaten by Wang Jun. As long as he appeared, Wang Jun would be in charge of defense and be inseparable from it. After the pick-and-roll, Smith and Amino would deal with him.
Barnes, Green, and Iguodala were also strictly guarded, and the Kings' swinger advantage was fully demonstrated. The Warriors' strong attack at the basket was irrelevant, and they could not kill anyone with two points.
14 to 86, the Kings won with amazing defensive strength and led the total score by 2.
Wang Jun played for 38 minutes, made 1 of 16 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals.
Most of his assists attracted double-teams and scored from close range to the inside. Whiteside scored a large double-double with 16 points and 17 rebounds in this game.
Curry scored the most, scoring 37 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Lowry also had 34 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and the two scored again.
Thompson was about the same as he played, making 6 of 15 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
Iguodala played for 32 minutes and scored only 6 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
Cole tried every means to deal with Wang Jun, but still failed to win. Wang Jun scored less under strict defense, but his efficiency did not decrease, his shooting rate was very high, and he was deterred by Thompson.
Cole was not showing weakness at the press conference, but lamented in his heart that Wang Jun, who was balanced with offense and defense, was even more terrifying. His number of shots decreased, making people feel that he still had enough energy and was very helpless.
In the third game, the Warriors returned to home court, and Cole began to reuse Greg Monroe, let Noah substitute and strengthen the offense.
Monroe is a high-armed technical inside line, capable of playing low posts, excellent passing at high posts, and unstable mid-range shooting, which is much better than Noah.
Monroe's pick-and-roll defense is a weakness, the Warriors defend and the peripheral strengthening round switch positions.
The King's offense was good, but the Warriors were stronger, and Thompson broke out in this game.
Thompson was furious and scored three points in a row against the person, and Wang Jun's defense was useless. He would throw in as he had some space, and was unreasonable and not afraid of blocking his eyes.
Throughout the game, Thompson made 11 three-pointers, setting a career playoff high, scoring 48 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the Warriors to a 111-14 game back.
The Warriors players only had one day of happiness, and the Kings won 121-9 in the fourth game.
It was Wang Jun's turn to get lost, making 17 of 28 shots, 16 three-pointers, 8 free throws, and scored 52 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
His change of direction and emergency stop jump shot in the counterattack made his opponent helpless. This move seems simple, but in fact, as long as you control the rhythm of the move, it is a trick. It is simple and effective and difficult to block.
There are two people in the league who are good at this technology, one is Wang Jun and the other is Westbrook of the Thunder.
Due to the team's serious injuries, the Thunder failed to make the playoffs, but Wei Shao averaged 286 points per game and ranked second in the scoring list. He was able to score so many points mainly because he changed direction and jumped.
Thompson has an average physical fitness. Although he is 21 in height, it takes time to move and jump, so he can't keep up with Wang Jun's rhythm.
Wang Jun is the main defense of Thompson. As long as he fights back, neither Iguodala nor Barnes can help. If Wang Jun doesn't catch the ball and goes to double-team, there will be serious open spaces.
The King returned to home court and fooled the Warriors at the beginning.
Curry was in a dire strait again, shooting 5 three-pointers in a single quarter. The Warriors doubled Wang Jun at the beginning, Curry and Whiteside were out of the ball to cover the running position, and took the ball as soon as they received the ball. Wang Jun also assisted Whiteside, who was cut in the air, and dunked twice.
Curry scored 21 points in a single quarter, Wang Jun scored 5 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and the two led the team to lead 35-22.
In the second quarter, the Kings changed their formation, Gobert, Smith, Covington, Coutney Lee, Brooks appeared, and Carter and Patterson were on the bench.
This lineup has three-pointers, moderate. Brooks and Gobert played pick-and-roll, passed Spets twice and scored a layup, becoming the surprises, and continued to widen the gap.
Jean Monroe and Noah were unable to withstand the King's attack.
Sbets is 28 tall and weighs 116 kilograms. He moves too slowly and is still an inside line who is floating outside and shooting, wasting his strength advantage.
Cole realized that this would not work, and replaced Spetts to play small ball tactics. The Kings immediately replaced Brooks, allowing Wang Jun to return to the court early and play a guest-game point guard.
The Kings wanted to end the battle at home, which increased Wang Jun's playing time. He played very selflessly, and he fought one-on-one in the counterattack, attracting double-teams to pass the ball. The positional battle was a misaligned breakthrough after pick-and-roll, attracting defense to pass the ball to the inside teammates as much as possible.
Whiteside's mid-range shot that he had been practicing hard for many years came in handy. He scored four jump shots in the third quarter, and two empty cuts to the basket to catch the ball and singles, causing Barnes to foul, making a 21.
At the end of the third quarter, the Kings led by 31 points and the game entered garbage time.
