Vucevic won the jump ball and the game began.

Curry brought to the frontcourt and passed it to Wang Jun, and the person who was the one who was guarding him was Prince.

In the first round, the Spurs always start with pitcher Danny Green, and they have to consider defense and make adjustments to the Kings.

Wang Jun moved a step to the right, Vucevic covered and blocked Prince. Wang Jun accelerated to get rid of the ball, and Dior replaced the defense.

Duncan defends Bathir from the left bottom line and can make up for defense at any time.

Wang Jun dribbled the ball to the right bottom line to open up space. Prince kept a two-step distance to assist in defense. He was experienced and could double-team at any time or switch to Vucevic.

Prince was a rookie in 2002 and had been competing with Wang Jun for many years. He knew that he would restrict Wang Jun and could not rely solely on double-teams.

Dior is also experienced and keeps a distance from Wang Jun, mainly preventing the bottom line of bounce.

Wang Jun pulled the ball into the middle with one step, and moved his direction away from Dior by speed. Prince chased and defended, and Dior also retreated, which attracted the attention of two big men.

Wang Jun turned halfway through the middle and jumped up to split the ball. Vucevic scored a 60-degree open jump shot. 2-0.

He passes the ball when he doubles the team, and plays if he doesn't doubles the team, and has developed a habit.

Vic took a deep breath and could only hope for Dior's misaligned defensive ability.

The Spurs attack, James defends Duncan.

Duncan received the ball from the right and passed the ball to Dior who ran from the baseline to the middle. The latter turned around and did not show his phone, attracting Vucevic to take a step in the defense, and passed the ball to the bottom line.

Parker suddenly cut away from Curry and scored a layup. 2-2.

Van Gundy introduced: "This is a typical Spurs-style cooperation, with inside players pulling out to cover, and no one protecting the basket."

McBrien said: "Whether the Kings can be prevented from defending the title, I think this series mainly depends on the performance of the inside players. The Spurs obviously have the advantage in the inside."

Wang Jun beat Dior one-on-one after pick-and-roll, and the jump shot from the bottom line was distracted due to interference.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan pulled from outside the right three-point line to cover Parker, and James replaced the pick-and-roll.

Duncan leaned against Curry to cut into the inside, and Parker divided the ball into Dior's hand at the high position.

Vucevic did not defend himself, Dio took the ball and made a jump shot. 2 to 4.

The Kings attacked, and Wang Jun attracted the defense from the right to pass the ball to James in the middle, who got a one-on-one chance, and his opponent was rookie Leonard.

No one is optimistic about rookie Leonard. James is at his peak, which seems to be the weakness of the Spurs.

Leonard let James take a step and a half, lowering the center of gravity, preventing bounces but not shooting, the right choice.

James is most criticized for this kind of ball choice. He rarely pulls out his hands and is called "the fans "did not dare to shoot when they put two meters away."

This is Vicky's tactical core. James hits 70% at a low post and has less than 50% jump shots. Of course, he must be mainly defended from breakthroughs. It is difficult to deal with James in normal defense. Slim man's close body is a life that is lost. This can also disrupt the opponent's tactical arrangements and become a star single.

After James made a stance, he broke through on the left, and Leonard followed in a small step. His long arm put a lot of pressure on James and failed to get over. He leaned on the ball with his back and turned to the bottom line and was blocked.

James was very embarrassed by being defended by the newcomer. He leaned back twice and then turned to the middle and jumped, but failed to squeeze out and missed the basket under interference.

Vicci has been coaching Leonard's defense all season, hoping that he will be the new Bowen of the Spurs. He has the physical fitness and awareness to become a top defensive player.

Dior protects the backcourt rebound and the Spurs positional battle.

Duncan covers, Parker attracts James to defend and passes to the middle, Dio attracts Vucevic to defend and passes to Duncan who cuts to the basket, who relies on Curry to easily play cricket with one hand. 2 to 6.

The Kings attacked, James received the ball in the middle, lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough, but was followed by Leonard again.

Near the penalty area line on the right, James leaned against Leonard to make a layup, missed under interference, and Dior got the rebound again.

James was a little anxious and wanted to prove his strength and attract double teammates to achieve his teammates, but the newcomer may not be lacking in strength. He was a good example back then.

The Spurs attacked, Dior and Duncan continued to withdraw the air. With the same tactics, Parker attracted James to switch defenses and get the middle lane. Dior received the ball and leaned against Vucevic to shake some space, giving Duncan the air cut.

Bathil lets Prince out of defense, Duncan scored the ball to the left again, Prince missed the open three-pointer. His three-point shooting percentage seems good, but in fact he can't shoot one goal in every game.

Duncan stuck Bathir at the basket, grabbed the frontcourt rebound with his height and wingspan.

Vucevic retracted, Duncan divided the ball again, Dior had no defense at the high position, and jumped again. 2-8.

When the Kings coaching team members studied their opponents, they didn't expect that the one that made the King the most uncomfortable was Dior, who was cut by a bad team like Bobcats.

Dior joined the Spurs with a basic salary in the mid-year, which was only 300,000 US dollars. However, his strength is competent for the starter, and the Spurs have found a big advantage.

Dior was selected by the Hawks in the first round in 2003 and was known as one of the most versatile basketball players in history. From the point guard during the Hawks to the big and small forwards under the D'Antoni system, he occasionally played a guest appearance as a center, thus winning the title of "French Magician".

In recent years, as his weight increases, his data declines were only abandoned by the Bobcats. When it comes to the Spurs, Vic asked him to play inside, and he suddenly succeeded in transforming into a flexible fat man. The transformation is astonishing.

In 37 games played for the Bobcats this season, Dior averaged 275 minutes per game, scoring 74 points, 53 rebounds and 43 assists, continuing to show the versatility of an all-round forward. The shooting percentage of the Bobcats Dior's shooting percentage dropped sharply, from 492 last season to 41, which is why his average score per game dropped by nearly 4 points.

In fact, it’s not that he is not strong enough, but that the Bobcat doesn’t know how to use him.

When he arrived at the Spurs, his shooting percentage increased to 588, his three-pointers were 615, and his shots were few and he was very efficient. He averaged 47 points, 43 rebounds and 24 assists per game in 20 minutes.

Although the data is poor, he really makes it easy to go.

In the next round, James organized the middle and passed it to Curry who was running. He and Vucevic had no ball cover on the left, attracting Dior to replace defense.

Wang Jun ran to the low post on the right and received a pass from Curry. He leaned on Prince, turned around in the middle and leaned back to the jump shot, using the "golden rooster" action.

His fake moves were very fast, Prince couldn't cover the ball if he jumped slowly, and the ball scored 4 to 8.

The Spurs attacked again, and the King changed to joint defense.

Duncan cut to the low post and passed the ball. Leonard made a three-pointer from the outside, but missed the ball with a slight interference from Wang Jun.

The Spurs have excellent defense in this lineup, but their weakness is that Green doesn't play, and their three-pointers are relatively poor, and Vucevic grabs the rebound.

Wang Jun counterattacked with a fast break, attracting Prince to the right, Curry passed the ball to James in the middle. Once James rushed, Leonard had no choice but to score a tank-style layup. 6 to 8.

After the test, the two sides began a tug-of-war, and they were very focused on the defensive end and had to compete for every goal.

The king relies on the stars on the offensive end, while the Spurs rely on the support of the inside and the empty cut, and the momentum is evenly matched.

Zhang Heli commented: "The Spurs' new and old players are well matched, they are stronger than they thought. Today the Kings encountered a challenge."

It is obvious that the Spurs have a chance to win.
