NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 105 Rookie Game MVP and Three-Point Contest

Wang Feng, who traveled from 2022, knows very well what is the key to establishing a player's historical status.

Championships, personal honors, and the accumulation of statistics.

Why is it that James has only 4 championships, but he has been rated as the second ball champion by many media, ranking second in history among various star rankings?
4 championships, 4 regular season MVPs, and the unprecedented 4+1+1 project that is about to be achieved are the cornerstones of James' historical status!

For James, there are countless honors, big and small, and he doesn't even pay attention to the honors won by entertainment events like the All-Stars.

But for Wang Feng, who has just started in the NBA, even if it is the rookie challenge, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless to get a good stat.

After all, Wang Feng does not believe that he can get too much playing time in the All-Star Game the day after tomorrow. The All-Star Game has always been a carnival for local players in the United States, so he must seize every opportunity he can to gain a sense of presence.

Although the Rookie Challenge doesn't get much attention, it's still better than nothing.

……

"Okay, audience friends, after a brief player introduction, players from both sides stepped onto the field, and the All-Star Rookie Challenge is about to begin!"

"Both sides jump the ball, the US team Towns wins the jump ball! The basketball was passed to guard Smart, and the US team quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Towns entered the inside to ask for the ball, and Smart lobbed the ball to Towns. , Wang Feng broke out, intercepted the pass, and made a fast break! Wang Feng dribbled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt. Clarkson defending him was a little behind. Wang Feng directly shot a jumper from the top of the three-point line. This is not what he is good at The bottom corner position, but the three-pointer was hit steadily! Take the top spot for the international team!"

In the All-Star game, in most cases, the players are tacit, and they mainly focus on performance and show operations, and they will not play real defense as soon as they come up.

But Wang Feng didn't care about your stuff, he didn't talk about Wu De as soon as he came up, he made a steal and counterattacked three points!
The players participating in the Rookie Challenge, as the name suggests, are all first- and second-year rookies, with uneven levels. Although there are Wiggins, Towns and other players with an overall rating of over 80, most of them have ability values ​​around 70.

Wang Feng's overall rating of 78 is already relatively high among them, with distinctive technical characteristics and badge blessings. In addition, there are not many people who really fight in the All-Star Game. It is much easier to fight than in the regular season.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Wang Feng frequently attacked with the ball, made three-point shots from the outside, and frequently shot mid-range fadeaway jumpers.

Wang Feng played the position of shooting guard in the starting lineup of the US team, and his opponent was Jordan Clarkson, a second-year rookie of the Lakers.

Clarkson, who is 1 meters long and mainly plays the swing position of the guard, is not dominant in all aspects of his body, even Wang Feng's weak strength. He is not a player who is good at defense, so he can only be constantly attacked by Wang Feng. Singles are strong.

In the first quarter of the game alone, Wang Feng seized the opportunity to take 10 shots, hit 3 three-pointers and 4 mid-range shots, scoring 17 points!
"Wang Feng was very active on the court. He scored 17 points in the first quarter alone. I don't know how many points he can score in the whole game."

Wang Feng didn't keep the fans waiting long, and quickly gave the answer.

In the second quarter, Wang Feng didn't play much time. After all, this is an exhibition game, and all players have to give a certain amount of time to show their faces. However, Wang Feng, who only played for 4 minutes, still seized the opportunity to hit 2 corner three-pointers and scored 6 more. Points, 23 points in the half!
In the third quarter of the game, the lagging US team began to catch up. LaVine, Booker, Russell and other players began to exert their strength one after another. Guy's defense.

However, whether it is Zach LaVine, Devin Booker or Jabari Parker in the forward position, in the case of one-on-one defense, none of them can prevent Wang Feng's attack. Wang Feng made a hit with 8 shots. 5 balls and 12 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the three quarters, Wang Feng has scored 35 points, and the international team has thus established a 20-point advantage.

In the last quarter of the game, the rookies of the US team, who had no hope of chasing points, simply played badly, and all played their own games. In the end, the international team defeated the US rookie team 157:145 and won the rookie challenge.

Wang Feng made 24 of 16 shots in the game, scored a game-high 42 points, and was successfully elected as the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

It's a pity that the rookie game as an appetizer is not very popular at all, and no one pays attention to who plays the best in the game, it's just an away game.

Apart from the joy of the Chinese fans who watched the game exclusively for Wang Feng, the American audience didn't feel much at all. In terms of expectations, the Rookie Challenge was not even as good as tomorrow's three-point contest and slam dunk contest.

After the game, Wang Feng was interviewed by reporters, and his performance was quite calm.

"Wang, congratulations on winning the Rookie Challenge MVP. This should be your first personal honor in the NBA. How do you feel?"

"It feels pretty good." Wang Feng smiled slightly. "But I still look forward to tomorrow's three-point contest."

Not only Wang Feng is looking forward to it, but many fans are also looking forward to tomorrow's three-point contest. The Warriors' three outside players, Curry, Thompson and Wang Feng, who is more accurate in three-pointers?Or is it that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit?

……

I have to admit that this time the three-point contest can be regarded as full of talents.

The Warriors alone sent out a dream lineup of Curry, Thompson and Wang Feng, and in addition to these three players, there were also many top shooters in the league.

James Harden of the Rockets, Khris Middleton of the Bucks, Kyle Lowry of the Raptors, JJ Redick of the Clippers, these are the top outside shooters in the league.

However, Wang Feng, who is a traveler, knows very well that if he wants to win the three-pointer king, his biggest opponents are his two teammates, Curry and Thompson!

In another time and space, in the 16 three-point contest, Curry and Thompson both advanced to the finals and staged a high-quality duel in the finals. In the end, Thompson scored 27 points and defeated Curry, who scored 26 points, to win the three-point crown.

"27 points..." Wang Feng couldn't help grinning when he thought of this score, feeling quite a headache. "If you want to win the three-pointer, it's a little bit more difficult."
