Wang Jun was absent, and the Kings lost 26 points at home and was harshly ravaged by the Thunder.

Curry was defended as a blacksmith, Wade played badly, Carol could not find North, and the performance was better by Amino and West. These two were efficient and had too few moves to lead the team to win.

Barkley commented: "With one person missing, the king is like changing a team, and the smooth attack cannot be played. Wade, Curry cannot attract double teams like Wang Jun."

Van Gundy also said: "As long as Wang Jun is on the court, the Thunder's defensive end will take a lot of attention. Wade and Curry cannot suppress the opponent's defense line enough."

"Magic" Johnson said: "Curry often gets fucked. Many people say he is the best point guard. I think he is still a certain distance away from it. His weakness is obvious. He is unstoppable when he feels good, and he falls into trouble if he feels bad. He cannot constantly hit the basket like Westbrook, nor can he place the ball in the right position like Paul."

In the second game, Wang Jun returned, and the situation immediately reversed, and the king defeated Thunder 112 to 95.

The Kings' tactics are unreasonable, and the inside teammates pulled out, Wang Jun played Robertson with the ball, and fought Adams and Ibaka one after the pick-and-roll. No matter who they face, they would fight one after another, and hit the opponent double-team and then pass the ball.

If you don't have double-teams, no one can defend Wang Jun from the starting lineup. Robertson worked very hard. He was a defensive talent discovered by the Thunder after suffering from serious injuries last season. He was 201 in height and weighed 95 kilograms.

Robertson and Bathir are a defensive way, always interfering in front of you and actively defending. There is no good way to face someone like Wang Jun who takes a step-down jump shot and shines in front of others.

Robertson's position was even more awkward on the offensive end, with extremely poor shooting, and scoring all depends on picking up bargains. The Thunder let Sai Frosa away, and the substitute Frosa was still bad in the offensive game, and the management was really good at choosing people.

As long as Wang Jun picks and rolls on Adams' side, Adams can't defend at all.

As a good blue-collar center, Adams can withstand all insides in the league, protect rebounds, and protect the penalty area, similar to Bogut. However, when he encounters a defender who can break through and shoot, he often slows down his defense when switching defenses.

Wang Jun not only had excellent offense, but also had a very uncomfortable defense.

He used Tony Allen's method to constantly seek confrontation, and the three-way Kadurant's long legs disrupted his shooting and dribbling rhythm, and did not consider jumping up and blocking the shot.

Durant is most afraid of this, and he can't solve it for many years. He can only turn around and jump shot at a height of 210. At this time, the Thunder formation cannot be pulled open. If no one hits the basket and breaks through and passes, it will be difficult to win the game.

In the past two seasons, many people say that Westbrook is the leader of the Thunder. There is some reason. He is the person responsible for resisting the package and attacking the basket and changing the opponent's defense center.

This season, Wei Shao averaged 235 points, 78 rebounds, 104 assists and 2 steals per game, and played a quasi-triple double-double. In the playoffs, his data increased to 26 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 24 steals, which is the most troublesome player to the Kings.

In the third game, the Thunders were at home, and both sides strengthened their defense, and the Kings won 93-80.

Neither Westbrook nor Durant's shooting percentages have exceeded 40. The Thunder's weakness has not changed for many years, lacking low-post offense, and relying too much on Wei Shao's breakthrough and Durant's shooting.

Ibaka couldn't become an All-Star and had not made any progress. She could only pull out and catch the ball, with no steps at the low post and no hook.

The Kings' lineup is precisely for breakthroughs and shooting. The swingers are all players with outstanding height and arm-showing and moving quickly.

The Thunder defense position attack was fine, but Wang Jun faced Durant, and attacked fiercely as soon as he counterattacked, and the Thunder could not withstand it. In order to avoid Wang Jun, Durant repeatedly covered his teammates on the periphery and tried to switch defenses.

This idea is good, but unfortunately it failed. Wang Jun did not change defense at all, so he followed Durant and asked his teammates to chase him. He couldn't catch up and could not make a shot on the outside.

Robertson can be empty, and the Thunder substitutes include Anthony Morro and Wittes. I dare not play for too long in this series. The two of them have a bad defense, and Wang Jun plays even more loosely.

In the fourth game, the situation did not change at all. Wade scored 11 points in a row in the second quarter, made a three-pointer, leading the team to open the score. The Thunder were chasing hard throughout the second half and lost the game.

At this time, the news media agreed that Thunder could not beat the king who owned Wang Jun.

In the fifth battle, the two sides decided the outcome.

Wang Jun quickly broke through and made Adams twice foul at the beginning, and beat him.

The Thunder sent Plumley to him, and his strength was weak and he could not play hard inside. Kidd replaced Whiteside in 6 minutes and replaced Patterson with the five-pointer tactics of death. All five of them could make three points.

Once the formation was opened, Thunder could not effectively double-team Wang Jun, and opportunities always came out from the bottom line or side.

Wang Jun scored a triple-double with 36 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists, leading the team to defeat the Thunder 119-101, and advanced to the finals 4-1.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers eliminated the Nets 4-2.

James beat the Nets' forward in a one-on-one match, averaging 355 points, 11 rebounds and 77 assists in the series. He did too much work alone.

The Cavaliers' lineup is not weak. Although Bosh was injured, they introduced inside Channing Fry, who could shoot three-pointers in the mid-term. Tristan Thompson was also very important. After Bosh was absent, his role began to appear.

Thompson does not have an excellent offense, but he has more experience than Okafor and has better defense. The latter has become unable to play after entering the playoffs.

Oladipo's defense, Bill and Mo Williams' three-pointers also injected vitality into the Cavaliers.

After leaving a few players, the Nets are obviously weaker than last season.

In the mid-term, the management laid off Joe Johnson to save money, who joined the Heat and made beautiful statistics, and may be able to compete for another big contract in the summer.

On the eve of the finals, everyone was optimistic that the King beat the Cavaliers to win the championship.

Including the Cavaliers, they don’t think they can win.

James is very calm on the surface, but in fact he wants to call Wang Jun to notify him. Don’t play the Cavaliers like he did last season’s Nets. That would be too exciting.

After Paul lost the finals, he became depressed and did not recover this season. He lost his domineering spirit as he used to be.

James still regrets it a little. He has no confidence in leading the Cavaliers to win the championship. Now, he can't leave the Cavaliers to go to other teams.

Unless James returns to the king, it will be difficult to win the championship. The king has proved that he doesn't need him at all, which makes him very embarrassed. If he returns to the king, he will be despised by everyone unless he has a salary cut.

He stayed with the Cavaliers for his lifetime. If he could not fulfill his promise and brought Cleveland a championship, he would be a waste of time.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong path back then and couldn't look back.

Wang Jun was interviewed and smiled: "LeBron is a superstar. There is no doubt that, but unfortunately, I am stronger than him, so I am very sorry, I firmly believe that this championship is still the king."

The reporter asked: "At that time, you did not try to keep James. Is it because you were confident that you would lead the team to win the championship alone?"

"No, I don't know what I can play in the future and who I am teammates. I can only try my best to play at my level. Basketball is a team sport, and no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible for one to play five, so I have been learning how to better drive the whole team. I'm glad I did it."

The reporter felt that Wang Jun seemed to be hinting at something, something would happen in the finals.
