NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 224 Preseason debut
In addition to offensive scoring, what data has risen the fastest?The answer is simple, one is rebounds and the other is assists.

As a forward, it is actually a better choice for Wang Feng to strengthen his passing and assisting ability. Using his strong offensive ability, he can pull the space to attract double-teams and assist his teammates to score.

But with the current situation of the Lakers, this path is obviously not feasible.

Assists are not only based on the passing ability of the passer, but also require the receiver to have sufficient offensive ability. Otherwise, if the pass is good and the shot is missed, the number of assists will naturally be lost.

What's more, just improving the passing ability value does not directly strengthen the assist ability, it just makes Wang Feng's passing more accurate and less prone to mistakes.

But rebounding is different. This is a data value that can be accumulated purely by personal ability, and it is the simplest and most direct on the field.

There are two related abilities in rebounding, which are offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding.

These two ability values ​​of Wang Feng were 31 and 49 respectively...with a full score of 99, he obviously failed.

By strengthening the remaining 37 free distribution points to defensive rebounds, Wang Feng's defensive rebounds can be directly enhanced to 86!

86 defensive rebounds, if placed on an inside player, is already considered a pass. In today's league, apart from a few top insiders, such as Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, there are only those who Rebound-based blue-collar players have a defensive rebounding ability value above 90, such as DeAndre Jordan, Hassan Whiteside, Andre Drummond, etc.

As a striker, it is good to have more than 80 defensive rebounds. At least as far as Wang Feng knows, James in his peak period only had around 80 defensive rebounds. Last season, he averaged a triple-double with 10.7 rebounds. Westbrook's defensive rebounding ability is around 75.

Of course, Westbrook's rebounds have no reference value. Many rebounds are picked up when the center is stuck for him. If he really relies on himself, he cannot average double figures in rebounds per game.

Wang Feng's 86 defensive rebounds are purely on his own without any help. He averaged eight or nine rebounds per game. It shouldn't be a big problem. If the team's game rhythm is faster and there are blue-collar centers to help grab positions There is no difficulty in rebounding and hitting double figures.

The same data per game, 20 points and 20+10 double-doubles are completely different in concept.

With the strengthening of defensive rebounds, Wang Feng's last free distribution points were finally squandered.

It is a pity that the improvement of defensive rebounding ability value did not increase Wang Feng's overall rating, which remained at 93 points.

The overall rating of 93, if you look at the 2K18 games released at the same time, Wang Feng's ability is enough to rank in the top ten in the league, and players with higher overall ratings than him can be counted with two hands, nothing more than James, Duran Te, Curry, Leonard, Harden, Westbrook and so on are just a few.

……

September passed quickly, time entered October 2017, and the NBA preseason began.

The Lakers' first preseason game was against the Timberwolves on October 10.

The two underdogs in the Western Conference were called crouching dragons and phoenixes in the regular season last year, one with 26 wins and the other with 31 wins.

In the new season, both teams have improved their lineups, especially the Timberwolves. After trading for Jimmy Butler, the goal of the Timberwolves in the new season is to hit the playoffs. At least it looks better than the salty Lakers. A little bit stronger.

In this game, the duel between the two top small forwards, Wang Feng and Butler, was the focus of the audience.

But neither of them played for too long in their preseason debuts. One played 11 minutes and the other 14 minutes. They didn't directly face each other on the court. It was the Lakers forward Brandon Ingram who performed well in this game. , scored 18 points on 8 of 24 shots, helping the Lakers win their first preseason victory.

On October 10, the Lakers played against the Denver Nuggets at the Staples Center in the second preseason game.

在自家球场的首秀，王峰稍微多打了几分钟，出场21分钟，10投6中拿下17分6篮板3抢断。

In this game, the best performer was this year's rookie Kyle Kuzma, who scored 23 points and 10 rebounds.

The current Lakers don't have much else, and they have a lot of potential rookies.

The next few preseason games are like a stage for rookies. Ball, Randall and others also played well. The overall performance of the Lakers is quite good, and even gave the Lakers fans a feeling. It feels like the team is about to take off this season.

Wang Feng is very clear that this is just an illusion.

If you play well in the preseason, you will also perform well in the regular season. People who have this kind of thinking generally have poor brains.

In Wang Feng's view, this group of rookies are very young, the defensive intensity in the preseason is low, and no team has a positive defensive strategy against them, so they can be a little arrogant. It was revealed.

Of course, these young players are also the pride of the league, even if they are targeted, they will not perform too badly.

In Wang Feng's impression, this season's Lakers, many players averaged double figures per game. Among them, Ingram, Kuzma and Randall averaged 16.1 points per game, and Lonzo Ball averaged 10 points per game. 7 points, 7 rebounds and 14.5 assists, plus Jordan Clarkson's 13 points per game and Brook Lopez's [-] points, the overall looks pretty good.

But the lack of an arrow-like offensive scorer is the biggest drawback of this Lakers team, and none of this group of people can stand up and have the ability to provide a stable and powerful scoring output for the team.

Therefore, in the 17-18 season, the Lakers ranked 35th in the Western Conference with a record of 47 wins and 11 losses. Although it has increased by 26 wins from the previous season's 56 wins and 9 losses, the difference is not big.

But now that Wang Feng is here, the situation is different.

Throughout the preseason, the Lakers achieved a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. The performance was remarkable. The fans in Los Angeles were very satisfied with this. They felt that these young players would definitely bring surprises in the new season, but the media who understand the game, But collectively bad-mouthed the Lakers.

"Compared to last season, the Lakers have not improved significantly. The tactical system is in a mess. Both offensive and defensive ends basically rely on the individual performance of the players. I can't see where the role of the coach is played. I thought the team's new pick. Zo Ball can take on the responsibilities of connecting the whole team, but judging from the few games in the preseason, his father's mouth may be better than his skills."

In front of the harsh media, Wang Feng, who didn't play very seriously in the preseason, was also shot while lying down.

"Wang Feng, who chose to join the Lakers, seems very confident that he has the ability to lead a group of rookies to achieve results. I believe he will soon understand the real reason why he won the championship for three consecutive seasons."
