NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 121 2:0 (Second update)

After the intermission, in the third quarter of the game, the main players of both sides continued to appear.

After a long break in halftime, Durant recovered some physical fitness at the beginning, played more strongly, and hit three mid-range shots in a row, but soon returned to his state in the second half of the second quarter. The hit rate keeps dropping under the sugar-style defense.

Throughout the third quarter, Durant made 9 shots and hit 4 goals. His performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but in the final and most critical fourth quarter, Durant, who was seriously exhausted, finally couldn't bear it.

"Wang Feng... actually did it?"

Off the court, the Warriors players, including coach Kerr, were amazed.

After all, it is Durant, can he be restricted under one-on-one defense?
Everyone can see that Durant is so tired that most of the offensive end can only be terminated by simple jump shots, but the problem is that the consumption of physical energy is something that any team in the league understands , but how many players can do it?
In the fourth quarter, without Durant's stable and continuous output, the Thunder began to lose quickly, and the Warriors seized the opportunity to directly hit a wave of 12:0 attacks, and the point difference was widened to more than 15 points.

In the second half, Durant made many forced shots to try to save the defeat, but all his shots missed under Wang Feng's defense, and the Thunder finally had no choice but to lose.

At 113:97, the Warriors won the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

Kevin Durant's personal statistics actually look pretty good. He scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, the highest score of the two teams.

However, behind the 33 points, there was a huge accumulation of shots. Durant took 34 shots in the entire game, and his shooting percentage was less than 35%. Although he got a high score, it didn't help the team much.

What's even more pitiful is that Westbrook didn't perform well in this game, making 21 of 7 shots and a 33.3% shooting rate.

In contrast, for the Warriors, Curry scored 25 points and Thompson scored 23 points. Although the scores were not particularly high, the shooting percentage remained at around 45%.

Not only that, Green also played well in this game.

When Wang Feng put all his energy on defending Durant, Green's possession of the ball increased accordingly. He also hit 20 goals in 9 shots throughout the game, scoring 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Among the Warriors' four players selected to the All-NBA Team, only Wang Feng's statistics look ugly. He only took 4 shots and hit 2 goals, all from outside the three-point line. He scored a total of 6 points and 2 rebounds.

Although his personal statistics were extremely poor, none of those who watched the entire game would say that Wang Feng played abnormally.

It was Wang Feng who made Durant's field goal percentage less than 35%. The Warriors won the game easily, thanks to Wang Feng who did the dirty work.

"I just don't know... I don't know if it's a loss or a gain."

After the game, looking at his personal statistics, Wang Feng felt a little distressed.

The system's season rewards are evaluated based on the overall performance of the regular season and playoffs.

Therefore, data is very important to Wang Feng. In many cases, Wang Feng deliberately brushes the data on the court in an attempt to make the season evaluation score higher.

If it were normal, this kind of defense that affects his personal data would be thankless, and he would not do it.

But he was really worried that because of the butterfly effect, the Warriors were overturned by the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.

Wang Feng plays normally as in the regular season. The Warriors can get more points and maybe win the series, but it is obviously a safer way to win the game by locking down the core player of the Thunder, Durant.

Although Wang Feng's personal data will decline to a certain extent in this series of games, which will affect the evaluation, it can ensure that the Warriors will steadily enter the finals.

Wang Feng still cares more about the purple Hall of Fame-level optional badge reward after winning the championship than the free distribution point reward obtained by higher evaluation.

"Forget it, let's lose a little bit. In the Warriors, I am the most suitable player to defend Durant, even more suitable than Green. When it comes to the finals, let that guy defend James. It's my turn to play. At that time, we must return all the data lost in the Western Conference Finals!"

Wang Feng's eyes were like a torch, and he thought firmly in his heart.

……

Game 5 of the series on May 18.

The game is still played at the Warriors' home court, and the direction of the game is almost the same as the first game.

At the beginning, Wang Feng, who was man-marking Durant, was almost beaten in various ways. Durant had already scored 20 points at halftime.

However, as the third and fourth quarters progressed, Durant's touch decreased again.

Unlike before, this time Durant did not choose to force the shot, but handed the ball to his teammates to play.

But the problem is, apart from Durant and Westbrook, the only other player in the Thunder who can be of any level is the blue-collar insider Ibaka, who has almost no offensive ability.

As for the team's second core, Westbrook... the attributes of the regular season dragon playoff bug are once again fully revealed.

After making 21 of 7 shots in the last game, Westbrook scored 15 of 4 in this game and only scored 16 points. This is also thanks to Westbrook's free throw percentage. .

Durant, who made 20 of 9 shots and scored 45 points with 27% shooting, had an intriguing expression on his face at the end of the game, and looked past Westbrook from time to time.

Wang Feng reckoned that Durant might have already made up his mind to leave the Thunder at this time.

Of course, the series has just reached the second game, with a total score of 2:0, and the game is far from over.

……

On May 5, the Thunder returned to their home court for a two-day rest, and then waited for the G22 game against the Warriors at home.

The Thunder, who returned to their home games, have made significant tactical adjustments.

When Durant holds the ball, there will be Thunder players immediately to help the pick-and-roll cover, causing the Warriors to dislocate and switch. The Thunder is choosing the target of the switch in a targeted manner. That is the weakest link of the Warriors' defense, Stephen. Curry.

Curry defends Durant, which is simply impossible to play.

Durant, who struggled against Wang Feng, went to fight Curry as easily and easily as an adult hitting a child, and it didn't even consume too much energy.

This can't help but make Wang Feng think that in the next few years, in the Huoyong battle, Harden's most commonly used tactics are infinite pick-and-roll dislocation, and Curry is also chosen by Harden.

However, Durant and Harden are still somewhat different. Although Harden staged the craziest scoring performance in the league in the next few seasons, when it comes to scoring ability, no one will think that Harden is better than Durant. Stronger, especially Durant's height of more than 2 meters, facing Curry who is only 10 meters, the advantage is too great.
