Chapter 979 [The audience is booing, as always]

Before the finals started, Wang Jun set a goal for himself to drive the whole team, rather than keep attacking by himself.

Regarding the Cavaliers lineup, Kidd discussed with the assistant coach and decided to play small ball tactics as soon as he came out, and Whiteside was the substitute.

Thompson is a person who lacks shooting ability. After Bosh was injured, he often started with James. The Cavaliers also have small ball tactics, mainly breakthroughs and shooting, so there is no need to worry about problems with inside defense.

James made a lot of suggestions on the Cavaliers' tactics. He was used to playing power forwards and tasted the sweetness of small ball tactics.

David Blatt was fired in one year. The Cavaliers' new head coach is Tyrone Lou. After years of being an assistant, he finally became a regular. However, he had to discuss everything with James. If the two had any differences, he had to listen to James, otherwise he would definitely be the one who left.

It can be said that Tyronelu is the mascot of the Knights.

On June 4, the two sides started war in Sacramento.

Kings starter: Curry, Wang Jun, Carol, Amino, Patterson.

Cavaliers starters: Bill, Oladipo, Jefferson, James, Thompson.

As a 36-year-old veteran, Jefferson is still in good physical fitness and has a tough style. He is 201 tall and weighs 106 kilograms. He will be allowed to play when playing small ball tactics. Okafor sits on the bench and waits for an opportunity.

Okafor plays as a substitute and can get some ball rights in the second quarter to lead the offense. Of course, the Cavaliers are not arranged in order to train new players, but rather that he feels that he is prone to being inexperienced and makes bad choices, and is not suitable for partnering with James.

If you want to win the king, you cannot make any mistakes.

The Cavaliers succeed and James are defeated. They rely too much on the core's abilities. Once the core is suppressed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thompson won the jump ball, the game began, the ball was passed to James, and the forward play was organized, and Amino was the master of defense.

James took a step to the left, suddenly started, and broke through with the ball. Wang Jun let go of Oladipo to form a double team to block the route.

James split the ball out of the outside, Oladipo made an open three-point jump shot and made a blacksmith.

Amino stuck James, Patterson stuck Thompson, and Wang Jun grabbed the backcourt rebound and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Oladipo followed and retreated, Wang Jun suddenly stopped quickly after taking the three-point line, and then threw himself at the target.

Oladipo is only 193 in shoes, and he is reluctant to play as a shooting guard. This is why he was selected as the No. 1 pick that year, which many people call him "upset".

His template is Tony Allen, which does not mean that he can defend like Tony Allen. He is good at defending breakthroughs and is much worse in interfering with shooting and close body.

Wang Jun knew the characteristics of his opponent and his advantages, and used the simplest offensive method. He took a quick attack with a perfect rhythm. He raised his right fist as soon as he landed, watching the ball fly into the basket. 3 to 0.

The Cavaliers attacked, Oladipo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and was pressed by Wang Jun just after halftime and almost returned to the court for violations.

The Cavaliers have a weakness. Whether Oladipo or Bill, their ball control level is average and they are not suitable for playing point guards. In order to save James' physical strength, Tyrone Lu arranged for others to dribble the ball through the half.

Oladipo wanted to move horizontally to find James, but Wang Jun saw through the direction, and knocked off the basketball with a slap, and accelerated to pick up the ball and counterattack.

Oladipo turned around quickly, but was still thrown away by Wang Jun. He saw from behind that he was about to catch up. Wang Jun jumped up on the free throw line and dunked the ball with his right hand! 5-0.

Van Gundy smiled and said, "Wang Jun is playing in a dunk contest now. It's a pleasant thing to watch the Kings' game. The only regret is the lack of suspense."

McBrien also smiled: "This ball cannot get full marks in the dunk competition, and jumping from the free throw line is no longer a difficult task, especially for Wang Jun."

James dribbled the ball through the half-court, and Amino didn't press on it. He took a step and half a distance, which could not only prevent breakthroughs, but also interfere with shooting.

James chose to pull out, avoided the cover, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

This season, James' three-point shooting percentage was only 309. After returning to the Cavaliers, his mission changed. No superstar teammates attracted double team members, and no one would let him go. He had to create opportunities by himself.

His data has improved compared to being with the Kings, averaging 253 points, 74 rebounds and 68 assists per game, but his efficiency has decreased, and he is not as comfortable as before.

Thompson and Bill cut behind the empty space without the ball, trying to grab the frontcourt rebound, Wang Jun let go of Oladipo and got stuck in the inside line, jumped up with both hands and grabbed the rebound.

Compared with most of the inside, Wang Jun is not at all inferior. He turned around and led the frontcourt, threw Thompson away in two steps, and advanced at a high speed.

Oladipo blocked in the midfield. Wang Jun used a tracing step as soon as he passed the half, took a step on his left foot, then changed direction to the right and dodged Oladipo, with a slightly tilted body, and a quick stop and a jump shot from one meter outside the three-point line.

No one has ever played like this on the outside line. He unexpectedly succeeded, and no one came to make up for the defense.

Wang Jun got an open position, and even if his movements were slightly deformed, it would be better than taking action against someone. He grasped the strength and made an 80-degree ball on the right, 8 to 0.

The Cavaliers attacked, James passed the ball to Bill on the outside, who relied on cover to get rid of Curry and Patterson replaced the defense.

Bill attracted the defense and passed the ball to Thompson who cut the ball. Curry tried his best to interfere. Thompson turned around and entered the basket, dunked with both hands. 8 to 2.

Once the point guard is misaligned, it is easy to have gaps, which is inevitable. Even Paul, who is selected for the best defensive lineup, is no exception. Curry is often regarded as a breakthrough on the defensive end by the opponent.

Kidd had a way to deal with it, that is, Wade played the No. 2 position, Wang Jun played the point guard, and his defense was not afraid of misplaced. But in that case, Wang Jun and Wade overlapped their positions on the offensive end, and Wade could only be a blue-collar worker, which was too wasteful.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave Carroll to the right side. Wang Jun leaned against Oladipo in one step within the three-point line. Carroll passed the ball to the ground, and then ran to the left, giving Curry 60 degrees to the right side.

Wang Jun took the ball and leaned back, turned around 45 degrees to the right and jumped with all his strength, leaning back and making a move. His shooting point was very high, and Oladipo jumped too low but could only block his eyes. The ball hit the board and entered the frame. 10 to 2.

Wang Jun scored 10 points in a row. His physical fitness is better than his opponent, he is taller, and it is too easy to fight alone.

The Cavaliers attacked, James broke through with the ball, and was double-teamed by Patterson and Amino. The ball was divided, and Thompson could not shoot in the middle and passed the ball to Bill who was running.

In less than two seconds, Wang Jun made up for defense, forcing Bill to pass the ball to Oladipo, the bottom corner.

Patterson saved to make up for defense, and slightly interfered, and Oladipo's jump shot missed again.

Amino pushed the ball out, Thompson failed to rush, Wang Jun picked up the ball, passed it to Curry and launched a fast break.

Curry took a step, dribbled the ball behind his right hand and gave the left hand a step back jump shot, which was off-putting under Bill's interference.

It doesn't matter if you don't enter, the Cavaliers are already playing with the King's familiar rhythm.

The home fans gave Curry the applause, and once James received the ball, the whole game booed.

Many people are still dissatisfied with him leaving when the team needs him the most. They say that they want to lead the Cavaliers to win the championship, so leaving is nonsense. It is true to see that the King is not good.

James was taken a step by a half by Amino on the outside, and did not pull him out any more, waiting for Bill to run without the ball and pass the ball.

Carroll changed defense in time, interfering with Bill's shooting, the ball bounced out, and the rebound was obtained by Patterson.

The Knights attacked as ugly as ever.
