NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 117 Elimination of Blazers and Season Awards (Part [-])
The Blazers lost to the Warriors with two shots in the backcourt and lost the first game. Wang Feng was not surprised at all.

In another time and space, even without Wang Feng, the 73-win Warriors whose small forward position was replaced by Barnes also easily eliminated the Blazers 4:1 in the playoffs.

The 73-win Warriors also performed quite strongly throughout the playoffs. Whether it was against the Rockets in the first round or against the Trail Blazers in the second round, the game process was very easy without any pressure.

It wasn't until the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals that the Warriors met their opponent for the first time.

The Thunder team led by Durant and Westbrook can only be regarded as quite satisfactory in the regular season, ranking third in the West with 55 wins and 27 losses, and fifth in the league.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that when the Warriors and the Thunder met in the finals, it was the Warriors who were pushed into desperation first.

The Thunder, who went down to the home court of the Warriors first, returned to the home court and won two games. They took the lead 3:1 and won the match point. Fortunately, Kerr temporarily changed the lineup and replaced the five dead players who depended on survival. The lineup, increasing the height of the inside line and strengthening the defensive ability of the basket, finally regained the rhythm of the game, and finally completed the comeback and advanced to the finals in three consecutive cities.

As for the Warriors in the finals against the Cavaliers, it is another story to be turned over by James Jedi with the same 3:1 lead.

The Blazers were not regarded as opponents by Wang Feng at all. While successfully eliminating opponents, being able to collect data and score as much as possible is what Wang Feng pursued in this round of the series.

Although shouldering the task of man-marking Lillard, on the offensive end, Wang Feng still got a lot of good shots, which is still thanks to Curry's credit.

In the first game, Curry made 28 of 14 shots and scored 37 points.

In the second game, Curry intensified, scoring 42 points and completely defeating the Blazers' defense.

The offensive output is so powerful that it can be called terrifying, so the Blazers have to concentrate more defensive energy on Curry. Even if they know Wang Feng's outside shots, especially the three-point accuracy of the corner position is no less than Curry. No trade-offs are made.

In this situation, Wang Feng had many scoring opportunities, and he seized them all.

The series between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers, just like when they faced the Mavericks in the first round, ended neatly in four games, 4:0, and the Blazers couldn't win even one game.

Curry averaged 34 points, 7 rebounds and 9.5 assists in four games, a superb performance.

Lillard in the same position is inferior in comparison, averaging 26 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game.

The data gap between the two guards mainly comes from the scoring outside the three-point line.

Curry has averaged at least 5 three-pointers in each of the four games, while Lillard has only 2 in this data, and the two have almost the same number of three-pointers.

Under Wang Feng's defense, Lillard's outside shooting accuracy was greatly inaccurate, and he could only rely on pick-and-roll tactics to hit the basket to cause damage, and his scoring power was far less than usual.

Thompson and McCollum are basically in a state of mutual explosion, with one averaging 22 points and the other 21 points per game.

As for Wang Feng, he averaged 4 points per game in these 24 games, and his shooting percentage was close to 45.2%.

……

In addition to the Warriors, the teams that completed the sweep in the second round also included the Cavaliers who also eliminated the Eagles 4:0.

On the other side, the Thunder vs. Spurs and Heat vs. Raptors games are still in full swing.

During this period, the league finally officially announced the best team of the season award.

There is no suspense, the Warriors became the biggest winner.

Stephen Curry successfully entered the best team with an average of 31 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. Thunder guard Russell Westbrook and Cavaliers forward LeBron James joined him in the first team , Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard and Clippers center DeAndre Jordan.

What Wang Feng didn't expect was that Green was not selected for the best second team like in another time and space due to the decline in personal data, but was selected for the best third team together with Thompson and Wang Feng.

That's right, the Warriors have five starters, and four of them were selected to the best team.

The best second team are Blazers guard Damian Lillard, Clippers guard Chris Paul, Thunder forward Kevin Durant, Pacers forward Paul George and Kings center DeMarcus Cousins s.

As for the best three teams, in addition to Wang Feng, Thompson and Green being selected, there are Raptors' Kyle Lowry and Pistons' center Andre Drummond.

A team has four players selected to the best lineup at the same time. This kind of thing is unique in the entire NBA history. It is understandable, not to mention that except for Curry, the other three are only three teams.

Not only the best team, but also the best defensive team selection, the Warriors also had two players selected, namely Green, who was selected to the best defensive team, and Wang Feng, who was selected to the second team.

Relying on his strong defensive ability on the outside and the honor of stealing king, Wang Feng was selected to the second team of the best defense. The reason why he did not enter the list of the first team is because Wang Feng has obvious shortcomings on the defensive end.

Wang Feng's perimeter defensive ability is extremely strong, definitely at the top level in the league, but his interior defense and response to pick-and-roll tactics are not outstanding.

As forwards, the two forwards selected for the first team, whether it is Kawhi Leonard or Green, are better than Wang Feng in terms of comprehensive defensive ability.

However, even with obvious shortcomings, Wang Feng's perimeter defense and double-teaming ability are too outstanding, so he was selected as the best second team.

Someone took a careful inventory, and was shocked to find that Wang Feng's personal honor this season has been a bumper harvest!
Selected to the All-Star team, the third team of the best team, the second team of the best defensive team, the league's steals leader, and followed the Warriors to create the best record of 74 wins and 35 consecutive victories.

This is only the second season of Wang Feng's career!And in the first season, due to losing the draft, he spent almost half of the season on the bench. It is unbelievable that he can grow to this level in such a short period of time!
However... it's not over yet!
A few days later, other season awards began to be announced.

Wang Feng won another trophy, the Most Improved Player Award!

To be able to win this award, even Wang Feng did not expect it at all.

Different from other awards, the Most Improved Player Award is an award used to reward the most improved player in the regular season each year.

Although Wang Feng has made rapid progress this season, in fact, he has already begun to show his talents during the playoffs last season.

In the league, there are many players who have been unknown before and suddenly turned out, such as Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum who was just eliminated by the Warriors.
