Chapter 781 [Poor defense, not bad against Kobe]
The "Zen Master" saw the opponent's intention and did not call a timeout, allowing the players to adjust on the court.
He knew that calling the timeout was useless, and the point guard must be present, so it was impossible for Kobe to focus on the organization.
Gasol gave Kobe a cover, and the latter received the ball from the run, and James immediately replaced the defense.
Kobe failed to pass James with the ball, but he leaned back and turned around and still couldn't pass it. He then crossed Lugasol.
Wang Jun was interfering with each other. Gasol took the ball to the low post on the left and turned around and hooked. Wang Jun could not cover it, but he could conceal the rhythm and disrupt the rhythm. The ball was off the basket.
Yi Jianlian got the guy, James withdrew to the inside and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The positional battle broke out, Yi Jianlian did not have the ball to help Lei Allen get rid of it. Allen received the ball in the middle to attract Bynum to defend and bring it to 70 degrees on the right, and passed the ball to Wang Jun who was on the right.
The big guys were all withdrawn from the basket. At this time, Wang Jun would respond flexibly, not only standing outside.
He leaned against Kobe and turned around to the frame, dribbled the ball under his left hand and took a small step towards the bottom line with his right hand, protected him with his left hand, turned around in the middle and leaned against Kobe and jumped into the basket.
Fight, pure singles fight, Gasol did not shrink, otherwise Peja would be empty.
Wang Jun jumped with all his strength, and took the ball and pulled the rod with both hands to avoid the cover.
Kobe jumped up and defended, and Wang Jungao was stunned. He was in the air. He was still in the air. After pulling the rod, he scored a close shot with his right hand. 14 to 6.
Yu Jia smiled and said, "Wang Jun can still force Kobe now. James takes Artai to watch the fun on the periphery. When did the Cavaliers James live so easily?"
Zhang Heli also smiled and said, "With Wang Jun here, his teammates are on the side, and he will solve the problem. The camera has just been given to the bench, and the players' expressions are so leisurely."
The Lakers attacked, Fisher passed Kobe again, and he didn't want to pass Bynum anymore. After pick-and-roll, he saw James lower his center of gravity and suddenly pulled out a three-pointer.
James is tall and bounces fast. He jumps the ball to block his eyes and interferes with it. The ball has a little more powerful force and bounces out of the frame.
At the beginning, the Lakers always pass to the inside to play, and others don’t catch the ball much, which can easily cause cold hands.
Kobe's three-pointer against the best-in-law person in the league was not a good choice. Wang Jun retreated, jumped up in the cracks, grabbed the backcourt rebound, and turned around to lead himself to the frontcourt.
Kobe came up with the main defense, Wang Jun lowered his center of gravity, and patted the basketball with his left hand in a quick and fast manner, leading the game through the half.
This is the dribbling technique he and Garfield practiced to play basketball. They do the movements as they please and achieve the goal of protecting the ball. It is not necessarily good-looking, but it is very effective.
Unless the opponent's arms are longer than him, the center of gravity is lower, and the strength is greater, they will not want to interrupt the ball one-on-one. Garfield is now 1.8 meters tall, and he is a big guy, so it is hard to break Wang Jun.
Taking it to the middle three-point line, Wang Jun gently moved his left hand and gave Lei Allen, who was running 60 degrees on the left.
Fisher followed the defense, Allen received the ball and scored a three-pointer, ignoring the opponent, Fisher jumped up Gaby, which played some interference and the ball bounced out.
Fisher turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Jun get rid of Kobe and rush into the penalty area first, grabbed a frontcourt rebound from the left, landed and turned around with Kobe and went deep into the basket.
Kobe took someone to a foul and pressed Wang Jun's shoulder to stop him from jumping.
Wang Jun staggered with his right hand and gently lifted the ball towards the basket. The distance was too close. He made an irregular move and still shot it out. His upper limbs were stronger than Kobe. The referee whistle sounded.
Kobe watched the ball hit the rebound, and then he pushed the basket weakly and slowly landed into the basket.
Kobe frowned. This was a balloon of luck. The foul was already very timely. It was difficult for him to stop Wang Jun from going deep into the basket.
Wang Jun raised his right fist and shouted. He often practiced alone with James, and then played Kobe's size, so he was not under pressure in the inside.
The audience cheered and cheered louder at home. Wang Jun walked onto the free throw line and heard the fans shouting "mvp"!
Zhang Heli sighed: "Where Wang Jun goes, there are people calling MVP. This is only the fifth game of the new season. He has conquered Sacramento fans."
Yu Jia said excitedly: "His shooting percentage in the first five games reached an astonishing 64.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 45.4%, and his free throw rate was 86%. The data was so scary that he could score 30 points per game."
Wang Jun also made a penalty and scored three-pointers successfully. 17 to 6.
He scored his 7th individual point, the Kings led to double digits, Jackson asked for a timeout, and the Kings made 7 of 7 shots in the opening game.
Kobe walked out with a dark face and scored no point.
It was agreed before the game that we should focus on winning, but now the team is behind and the cooperation has not been played, so his data is not as good as Wang Jun. The Lakers only scored 6 points and performed well.
Jackson changed his strategy. "Paul covers, Kobe breaks through with the ball, misplaces the attack, attracts double-teams to pass the ball. If they don't double-team, they will play by themselves. Peripheral players pay attention to catch the ball, and Paul and Andrew are responsible for grabbing the frontcourt rebounds."
Unlimited attack rights are back in Kobe's hands, and the Lakers are not allowed to leave him.
Triangle offense can create many single-handed opportunities for Kobe. He opens and attracts double teammates. It will be easy to play with teammates, which is a complementary relationship.
The Kings did not substitution, and the baseline ball was sent, Fisher brought it to the frontcourt to Kobe, and the formation was widened.
Kobe got rid of Wang Jun by pick-and-roll, James immediately changed his defense and blocked him. Wang Jun changed his defense and walked around in front of him.
Kobe took it to the low post on the right, leaned against James for two steps, and made his signature turn and lean back jump shot, which was offside due to the interference of the eye blocking. James made a very outskirt and almost blocked the shot successfully.
James has also been selected for the best defensive team in a row, and his single defense is excellent.
Bynum grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and Yi Jianlian quickly fouled and sent him to the free throw.
Bynum made both free throws, 17 to 8. He took charge of all the scores, and the little Sharks exploded today.
When the Kings attacked, Yi Jianlian covered Lei Allen and continued to withdraw the basket. After James passed the ball, he cut into the inside with Wang Jun.
Seeing this, Bynum didn't know whether to defend himself, so he hesitated. He failed to switch to the lightning defense immediately. He waited until the opponent received the ball and then took a step and stretched out his hand.
This time, Ray Allen seized the opportunity and made a 70-degree three-pointer on the left. 20-8.
McBrien said: "The Kings are not the only ones Wang Jun, James. Once they relax their defense, Ray Allen is not weak either. He averaged 16.3 points per game last season."
Van Gundy continued: "He shot very accurately in open space and is one of the strongest pitchers in the NBA. The Lakers gave Kobe again. Will Wang Jun play singles this time?"
Kobe stepped on the right frame and broke through to the bottom line and was followed by Wang Jun. He protected the ball with his back and was close to his body.
Kobe moved his back and waved his right shoulder slightly, turned to the baseline and jumped back to the jump. Wang Jun jumped, and his bounce speed was stronger than before, but Kobe hit him in the past and took action without shaking it away. He was in trouble.
Wang Jun had a good time in defense. He almost jumped with Kobe and directly blocked the ball with his right hand. After landing, Kobe and him picked up the ball with him and were half a point slower. Wang Jun used one hand to give Ray Allen.
Fisher gambled and stole the ball out of the sideline.
Zhang Heli sighed: "The Kings are always not strict in defense, but in these rounds, they have worked very hard to defend Kobe, and Wang Jun has a perfect defense."
Yu Jia smiled and said, "The score must be very high when playing like this. The Kings have never scored below 40 points in the first quarter of the new season."
