Before the start of the game, the King held a simple championship ring awarding ceremony.

The person who laughed the happiest was not the players, but Albert Swann, who, as a management staff, had won two championship rings, which was so good.

Vivikranadave delivered a speech, believing that the Kings will win this season and also announced good news. "The new stadium is under construction, and we will compete in a more luxurious and modern stadium next season."

The reporter asked Wang Jun: "This is your sixth championship ring. Do you think you have caught up with or surpassed Jordan now?"

"The same six, of course, I can't say that I'll surpass it next season. I'll probably have seven championship rings at that time. I can still play for a long time. Even if I can't run, I can still help the team by shooting. I think my future ring count will definitely not be less than ten."

Fans like this declaration and cheer together. As long as Wang Jun does not leave the King, it will bring more honor to this team.

At the end of the event, Lakers players appeared without booing, and the fans' reaction was very dull.

This kind of dullness makes Lakers players uncomfortable, as if they can't cause any turmoil in people's hearts, as if no one treats them as opponents at all.

During the warm-up, Zhang Reli commented: "Wang Jun, Curry, Ray Allen and others are in good shape and make three-pointers in a row. Today, the Lakers are in trouble."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "The Lakers played poorly in the preseason, but they have four superstars after all, and they will not be weak after running in. After Nash joined, the organization and three-pointers have improved in many aspects, and today it also tests the Kings' defense line."

Kings starter: Curry, Wang Jun, Carter, James, Vucevic.

Lakers starters: Nash, Kobe, Ci Shiping, Gasol, Howard.

Howard won the jump ball and the game began.

According to the coach's arrangement, Nash took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe, waiting for an opportunity on the outside.

Wang Jun defended closely, Kobe dribbled the ball and turned around forcibly, played pick-and-roll with Gasol in the middle, and James replaced defense in time, blocking the breakthrough route.

Wang Jun and James restrict the pick-and-roll cooperation between the opponent's core internal and external lines is the King's most critical defensive tactic.

They have super physical fitness and outstanding defensive awareness, and it is difficult for the defender to succeed. They don’t feel uncomfortable without a team.

Kobe dribbled the ball to the right and threw it to Howard, who was on the low post on the right.

Vucevic topped the defense, Howard leaned back twice and turned to the middle, with his hook out, and the rebound was grabbed by Carter, and the Kings immediately fought back.

Wang Jun received the ball from the middle, took the ball to the front court at full speed, pulled the ball with his left hand near the free throw line, turned around and passed Gasol, and went to the basketball with his right hand. 2-0.

One attack, the fight was completed in four seconds. Without cooperation, it was just a one-on-one challenge based on personal ability.

Wang Jun is very easy to play inside, and Gasol can only try his best to retreat. There is no way, and the difference in horizontal movement speed is too big.

The Lakers attacked, Nash brought the ball to the frontcourt, Kobe attracted James to defend and then threw it to Howard.

The Lakers players wanted to cooperate. Kobe passed two of them to Howard at the beginning, but it was not a good idea to pass the ball to Howard, especially when Vucevic was in the interior.

Vucevic reached 115 kilograms, his height and weight were not inferior to "World Beasts". He was raising his arm to interfere. Howard turned around in the middle again, and his hooking movement was as stiff as if he threw an iron discus, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Looking at Howard now, and Howard before he had no back injury, it was like two completely different players playing basketball. Their movements were the same, but the results were different.

At the peak Howard received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, usually plays a single in the face frame, shakes it towards the bottom line, and then breaks into the penalty area and shoots with his left hand. If the defender keeps following him, he can instantly turn to the bottom line to attack.

Last season, his turn was quite fast, and his speed caught the defender off guard or flew out of the baseline or was left far behind. He could even squeeze his opponents to dunk.

Now, his speed is obviously slower.

Wang Jun stuck Gasol, making it impossible for him to cut to the basket smoothly. James grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Curry.

The king fought back again, and Wang Jun turned around and rushed straight to the basket.

Curry dribbled the ball through the half, dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand, and stopped a quick stop from outside the three-point line and took a three-pointer, avoiding Nash's block. He missed the ball, but Wang Jun went to the basket first and grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and his judgment was very accurate.

He took out of the penalty area on the left, turned around and turned his head to the top of the arc, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, and accelerated and broke through the bottom line.

Gasol followed the side, and Wang Jun jumped up in two steps, attracting Gasol to jump, shrinking from the left, and avoiding the cover in the air pull rod and gliding to the right.

Howard jumped to the basket and blocked the block. Wang Jun was waiting for him and passed the ball to the middle with both hands.

Vucevic hit the ball from the free throw line, 4-0.

The Lakers attacked, Nash and Gasol played pick-and-roll, and divided the ball into the middle.

Curry was not close to him and interfered in front of Gasol. The latter jumped and made a jump shot after a fake. 4 to 2.

Radio Barkley said: "This is a skill that Nash is good at, and passes the ball after pick-and-roll, but Gasol cannot cut and dunk like Stadameier, and the cooperation is still too simple."

O'Neal smiled and said: "I think it's a mistake for the Lakers to introduce Howard. People say Bynum shoots too much mid-range shot and can only shoot with his right hand. He does have weaknesses, but he can open up space than Howard."

The Kings attacked, James picked and rolled Curry and avoided Nash.

Gasol hurriedly defended it out, Curry took a step to the right and passed the ball to James in the middle.

Nash was easily pushed away, James rushed into the basket with the ball, attracting Howard to make up for defense, and the ball was divided into the right bottom corner.

Wang Jun and Vucevic completed the off-ball screen from the side, and took the ball and shot. Kobe bypassed the defense slowly and did not jump to block the block. The ball was hollow into the net, 7-2.

When returning to defense, Wang Jun raised his right fist high, which was still a signature celebration move.

Kobe frowned, and he had no confidence.

To defeat the King, you must not only ensure the offense, but also be able to defend yourself. Wang Jun played too easily at the beginning. If you don’t have double-teams, you can’t defend James and Wang Jun one-on-one at all.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe received the ball from the outside, Wang Jun pressed his thigh with his knees behind him.

This kind of small move is the most annoying, affecting the rhythm of dribbling. Kobe leads him to the outside line, and Wang Jun is behind him, making it difficult for him to turn around.

Nash relied on Gasol to cover and got rid of the pass, and took a step, and James immediately replaced the defense.

The Kings are man-to-man tactics. Gasol relies on Curry to go inside, Nash passes the ball, and Vucevic makes up for the defense.

Gasol divided the ball from the left to the right, passed a high ball, and Howard received a dunk with both hands to enter the ball. 7 to 4.

With beautiful internal transmission and cooperation, Howard saluted Gasol when he returned to defense and smiled happily.

Once on the defensive end, Howard couldn't laugh.

James first covered Curry, then squeezed Nash away from the middle and received a pass from Curry. Wang Jun and Vucevic were out of the ball and ran up from the bottom corner.

Similar to the cooperation just now, Howard did not defend himself and waited for James to break out like a magic trick, preparing to control the rebound and block.

James attracted the defensive pass again, Gasol followed Curry to the right bottom corner, Kobe bypassed the screen and couldn't catch up and did not jump, and Wang Jun actually made two consecutive moves that were almost empty.

Wang Jun scored a 70-degree jump shot from the right, 10-4.

The Lakers' defense line is full of loopholes.
