The Kings did not find particularly strong players, and Yi Jianlian was also left inside.The experts gave them a trade rating of only C, and it was Battier who thought it useful, and the other signings were terrible.Vivek called Wang Jun and was a little apprehensive: "There is no suitable person in the free market, if you think the lineup is not good, we will find a way to poach another star." ”Wang Jun smiled: "No, I think this is enough, I studied with Swan in the summer, the team has a center almost, find a high-paid center, pay the luxury tax, not to mention, there may be a bad contract."
Last season, I had the core of the squad and I was confident that I would defend the title. ”Vivek smiled: "Yes, but I think many teams have too strong lineups, Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, and Knicks are all multiple stars combined." ”"It's fun when there's a challenge, and we'll win."
Wang Jun is full of confidence.When he said so, Vivek was relieved.No owner wants to pay the luxury tax, and this season's salary is about the same as last season's, so it would be great to win the championship.Wang Jun is not thinking about the boss, but there is really no need to poach interior stars, and he has no ball rights when he comes, and he will only become a role player who averages less than 10 shots per game.The rationality of the lineup is crucial, and Battier is the most suitable person who is willing to defend and can shoot threes.Rashad Lewis has one year left on his contract and can come to the Kings if he is willing to accept a base salary.They want this kind of opportunity that doesn't take up the number of shots and can seize the opportunity in the open space.The training camp is opened, and the competition is used as a substitute for training.The four Kings are Curry, Wang Jun, Ray Allen, and James.Ray Allen didn't play well last season, only showed some performance in the playoffs, and it was inconsistent.At the time of the photoshoot, the Kings management still gave him enough face, after all, he ranked first on the NBA three-point shooting list, and this honor is enough to make him enter the Hall of Fame in the future.At the beginning of the preseason, only two games were played at home and away.All teams pick up opponents nearby, Lakers vs.
Clippers, Kings vs.
Warriors.Curry and Wang Jun didn't play a game in the summer, and they needed time to find their form, and they shot a lot after the opening.James was not idle in the summer, played in the Charity Star Game, also participated in training camp, and was in great shape.Wang Jun scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 24 minutes, 5-of-16 shooting, 0-of-4 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, while James shot 10-of-16 in 30 minutes, 1-of-3 three-pointers, and 5-of-6 free throws, scoring 26 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.Youngster Thomas was also eye-catching, scoring 16 points and five assists.The Warriors have been on a standout this season, winning 106-97.Lowry organized the offense in an orderly manner, and head coach Mark Jackson was very optimistic about him, putting him in charge of holding the ball and blocking and pick-and-roll, and Ellis cut down on shots.Ellis has been the team's leading scorer for two consecutive seasons and has improved his three-point shooting percentage, but he likes to play around and has a mediocre efficiency.Jackson wants Ellis to play more calmly, and Lowry is much more reasonable in handling the ball.The Warriors' guard breakout is sharper than last season, Noah on the inside is good defensively, Monroe can pull out to shoot, and Jefferson, Rush, Thompson and others can also shoot three-pointers.The warriors played surprisingly well, defeating the king in the second battle.Wang Jun made 5 of 15 shots, and then became a blacksmith, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and a total of 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.The preseason was just a practice and the Kings didn't care, and Adelman used Battier to motivate the whole team, reminding the players to be ready at all times, especially those on the bench.The Kings players expressed confidence in defending their titles, but many reporters didn't believe it at all, and there were a lot of unfavorable news about the Kings and Wang Jun after the game."
Wang Jun spends most of his vacation making movies, spending time with his family, not practicing at all, he looks like a role player in the preseason, can he get back to his old feeling in the new season" "The Kings may have to rely on James, they don't play like a team that wants to defend their title." ”"The Kings don't even have a qualified center, are they going to let the veteran Miller start for a season, they are obviously affected by the suspension, and it was a mistake to send Yi Jianlian away."
No matter how many doubts there are, the king is still ranked first in the official power list, as long as Wang Jun and James join forces, no one dares to underestimate them.The schedule was announced, with the Kings playing the Heat for the first time, then back-to-back home games against the Lakers, and flying to Portland in the evening to challenge the Trail Blazers.Three games in a row, this kind of schedule, Wang Jun has encountered it for the first time since joining the NBA.It's not a deliberate attempt by the league to target the Kings, and a lot of teams have to play back-to-back games like this, otherwise the regular season will be played until May.The league has compressed the schedule more tightly in order to make money, and the Kings vs.
Heat Christmas game has been hyped for a week.The Heat took two veteran forwards in the summer, and as the Eastern Conference champions, they attracted other powerful players to join, Salmons, Korver, and Terrence Williams will support the Heat's forward line this year.Salmons is a good role player, averaging 132 points, 35 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season; Korver is one of the best shooters in the league, shooting more than 40 percent from three-point range; Terrence is physically fit and has a lot of potential to dig into.With the addition of Bogut, Bosh, and Wade trident, the Heat will still be a powerhouse in the East in the new season.After arriving in Sacramento, Korver went to the villa to see Wang Jun's daughter and sent greetings.Korver is in a very good mood, Wang Jun understands as soon as he asks, Prince and Battier are leaving, Korver, as the strongest three-point player on the team, can get a lot of opportunities, and he is likely to be the start of the Heat.Korver already had a championship ring when he was with the Nets, and he doesn't care about winning championships, he just wants to play good stats and work hard for his next contract.Wang Jun's goal is very clear, that is, to win the championship, and he only needs one more championship to catch up with Jordan.Wade's goal is also to win the championship, and his desire to win is stronger than Wang's, Korver said that his slogan in the locker room was to beat Wang Jun's fellow 2003 star, and Wade was unwilling to be suppressed all the time.Both of them are scoring guards, and they are also said to be lifelong enemies, he can't join forces with Wang Jun, so he can only try to lead the team to victory.At dinner at the hotel, Wade chatted with Bosh and said seriously: "Chris, this game, I want you to fight like a playoffs, today you are the key to winning, the king does not have a good center, they must be uncomfortable playing small-ball tactics, I don't want to lose to the king again" "Understood." ”Bosh nodded, sighing inwardly.He was more depressed than Wade and didn't know what to say.He joined the Heat for a championship, and after they were close last season, he began to doubt whether he could succeed with the Heat.If he can't win the championship, why did he come to the Heat to stay with the Raptors, at least he has won a reputation for loyalty, and he can continue the title of "Dragon King", he has no nickname at all in the Heat.Chinese fans nicknamed Bosh "Bo Yiban", but fortunately he didn't know, otherwise he would have been even more depressed.With Bogut's partner, his main task was not to grab rebounds, and the stats dropped.In the past, Pat Riley would ask the players to practice hard, but this time Riley didn't talk much, and many people felt that the Heat were not far from rebuilding.The Heat players are planning to fight to the death this season, starting with the opener.s:
