NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 199 Falling Passive, Wang Feng Plays Substitute
With a score of 1:1, the Cavaliers returned to the home court. However, in the third game at home, the Cavaliers still failed to beat the Warriors. They lost the third finals series 113:118, and the total score came to 1. :2.

In this game, Thompson scored 31 points, Durant 28 points and Curry 29 points.

For the Cavaliers, James had 38 points, Wang Feng had 33 points, and Irving had 26 points. However, Love played abnormally and only scored 9 points on 1 of 6 shots.

The situation took a turn for the worse!

已经1:2落后的骑士队，第四场比赛无论如何也不能输球，否则带着1:3的比分再回到勇士队主场，即便是王峰也不敢保证可以像另一个时空16年骑士队那样完成1:3下的绝地大翻盘。

The main problem facing the Cavaliers now is the gap in the bench lineup between the two sides, and the second is the inability to completely limit the scoring of the Warriors' three outside scorers, and the latter is the same for both sides.

Wang Feng can effectively curb Durant's scoring efficiency in a one-on-one situation, but once Durant and Curry cooperate to cover the pick-and-roll, Wang Feng can't do anything, whether it is facing Irving or JR. Smith with the ball, or even When facing James, Durant can maintain a very efficient scoring efficiency.

"Since I can't guard against you...then why not!"

As soon as Wang Feng gritted his teeth, he took the initiative to find Tyronn Lu who was helpless in the current situation.

"Coach, let me play as a substitute for the fourth game."

Tyronn Lu was stunned.

"Are you going to be a substitute?"

In the three games of the finals, Wang Feng played very well, and it can even be said that he completely exceeded his expectations.

He averaged 29.6 points per game in three games, second only to James in scoring, while shooting 52% from the field, which is one of the main scoring points that the Cavaliers rely on most.

It would be too wasteful to let Wang Feng play as a substitute.

"I'm not talking about a pure substitute, but a pseudo-substitute like Manu Ginobili." Wang Feng said seriously: "The previous three games have proved that even if I start the game to mark Durant, the effect is not very good. Well, he averaged 30+ points per game, so there's no need for me to stare at Durant, and the result would be the same if someone else defended."

"But if I play off the bench, I can make up for the team's short period of time as a substitute. With the scoring ability of James and Irving, even when I'm not on the court, the team's offense will not be inferior to the opponent's too much."

"This..." Tyronn Lu hesitated.

Although what Wang Feng said had some truth, but with such a tactical arrangement, it is still very risky to rely on speculation without seeing the result.

What if Wang Feng's substitute came off the bench and the effect is not good?What if Durant scored 50+ points in a single game without Wang Feng's restraint?
The current Cavaliers have no way out, and if they make such a big adjustment rashly, if something goes wrong, he, the head coach, will bear the responsibility for the failure of the game!

"Coach, although I'm not sure if this will win the game, but if we continue to play according to the original tactics and arrangements, we will definitely not be able to win against the Warriors!"

"...Okay, I will think about it carefully, and then I will discuss with LeBron a result."

……

In the NBA, 1+1 may not necessarily equal 2. This is a problem that Wang Feng discovered in the three games of the finals.

Originally according to his idea, the Big Four lineup of himself + James + Irving + Love is stronger than the Warriors' lineup of Curry + Thompson + Durant + Green, especially the ability to attack and stop shots has been strengthened to the current level. Wang Feng, who is now at the top of the league, is almost comparable to either Curry or Durant.

James must be better than these two MVP-level players. If Irving compares with Thompson, Wang Feng thinks Irving is better.

As for Green and Love...

Even before the crossing, Wang Feng never felt that Green was a strong player, just because he happened to be selected by the Warriors and played in the Warriors. Defensive players can do it. As for the ability to deal cards from the top arc... don't mention it, or because he doesn't have enough autonomous ball-handling and offensive ability, he can't cut into the inside due to his height. Therefore, they can only hold the ball and stand in the top arc to pretend that they are organizing the game.

In such a comparison, the Big Four of the Cavaliers are obviously stronger than the Big Four of the Warriors, and they are even strong enough to completely make up for the gap on the bench.

But in fact it is not the case.

Just like the three-game series in the finals, the situation was somewhat beyond Wang Feng's expectations.

The main reason is that the performance of Owen and Love is much worse than Wang Feng imagined.

Irving averaged 23 points in three games and shot 42.9% from the field. His performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

But in Wang Feng's impression, in the 17th finals of Qiyong, Irving averaged 5 points per game in 29.4 games, and his shooting percentage remained at 47.2%. His performance was second only to James and Durant, and even better than Curry. .

Love was even worse. In these three finals, he scored 14 points, 21 points and 6 points respectively, averaging 13.6 points per game, and his shooting percentage was less than [-]%.

The same period of time, the same level of fitness, but the performance of both of them was affected.

The reason Wang Feng can think of is only himself.

Although Wang Feng, who averaged 29.6 points per game, is very efficient, such a high score still takes up a lot of ball and shot rights. These ball rights are all deducted from Irving and Love.

Irving and Love are not Curry and Thompson who can play without the ball. Both of them are players who need the ball to play at a high level, especially the former, who has the ball when James holds a lot of balls. The reduction, now that there is another Wang Feng, is naturally affected.

In this regard, Irving complained many times in the middle of the season, and even found the head coach and general manager, but no one supported Irving, not even James.

The reason is simple, your efficiency is far inferior to Wang Feng, why should Wang Feng give you the ball?
But now, the team has already half-stepped on the edge of the cliff, and Wang Feng must take the initiative to make sacrifices. No matter how gorgeous his personal data is, once the Cavaliers lose the finals, it will be meaningless.

In order to win the golden optional badge awarded by the system, Wang Feng can accept a short-term change in positioning.

On June 2017, 6, the fourth game of the finals was still at the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Before the game, the two sides announced today's starting roster, and many people were stunned looking at the roster.

"The Cavaliers have changed? Am I right? In this game, the Cavaliers actually put Wang Feng on the bench?"
