NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 257 Staring at Harden

As soon as the game started, the Rockets found out that Wang Feng went directly to Harden.

Wang Feng's defensive ability, especially the perimeter defensive ability, no team in the league would question. Therefore, the Rockets did not let Harden lead the offense at the beginning, but handed over the ball to Paul to organize the game.

The reason why the Rockets have been able to advance all the way this season is definitely not the reason for Harden's outstanding performance alone.

In addition to Harden, Paul, Gordon, Capela, and PJ Tucker are all outstanding in strength. Under Mike D'Antoni's magic ball tactics theory, the Rockets' offensive output ability is maximized, and the average points per game in the regular season is second only to For the Warriors, the team took 14 more three-pointers than the Warriors, which are mainly good at three-pointers.

Ultra-fast offensive rhythm and a large number of three-point shooting are the tactical characteristics of the Rockets. They are affectionately called "X**D" by many fans in China.

Harden didn't make many shots at the beginning, and all the offense was handed over to Paul, Gordon, Ariza and others.

But Wang Feng is the main scorer for the Lakers.

On the defensive end, Wang Feng is responsible for marking Harden, while on the offensive end, Wang Feng is facing Trevor Ariza, a well-known 3D player in the league.

Although he is nicknamed Tiezha in China, Ariza has never lost his job since entering the league, relying on his ability to defend with one hand and add three-pointers in the NBA.

Ariza, who joined the league in 04, moved to many teams, and can still get an annual salary of tens of millions until 2021. This is enough to prove that high-quality 3D players will definitely not worry about leaving the league.

It is now 2018, Ariza is 33 years old, his body has degenerated, his explosive power is far less than before, and he has no way to face Wang Feng's breakthrough with the ball.

Standing outside the three-point line, Wang Feng didn't need any extra moves, he just simply started the breakthrough, and the bonus effect of the golden first step master badge allowed him to easily pass the clumsy Ariza and rush straight to the Rockets basket!
The inside line of the Rockets is Clint Capela, a standard blue-collar center with strong physical fitness and excellent jumping ability, but his blocking ability can only be regarded as average. At the best time, he averaged only 1.9 blocks per game. cover.

Facing Wang Feng rushing to the basket, Capela could only hold up his hands to prevent Wang Feng from rushing to the basket.

Facing Capela's defense, Wang Feng, who had already rushed forward, didn't even act as an agent.

Although Capela is a blue-collar center, his weight and strength are not in the category of heavy centers, which is why he has good lateral speed and bounce.

Wang Feng's strength is as high as 88, far surpassing Capela, and he has already fully accelerated, why is there any need to avoid the opponent?

Taking two steps hard, Wang Feng soared into the air, and directly pressed Capela with a powerful buckle!

"boom--!"

The basket trembled violently, showing the strength of Wang Feng's dunk.

Wang Feng, who got off to a good start with dunks at the beginning, completely took over the Lakers' offense in the next few minutes.

After breaking away from Ariza, he made a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

One step away from the three-point line to grab a three-pointer.

In just a few rounds, Wang Feng scored 7 points in a row, sweeping all the goals scored by the Lakers.

On the Rockets side, Paul relied on a mid-range hit, and Capela used the pick-and-roll cover to catch the ball and eat cakes to complete a dunk and score 4 points.

Harden, the team's first offensive core, didn't score any points in the first 3 minutes, not even a single shot.

Gradually, Harden couldn't bear it anymore.

After all, he is also the second-best player in scoring and a strong candidate for MVP in the regular season. How could he remain invisible in the direct confrontation with Wang Feng?
At 3 minutes and 46 seconds into the first quarter, Harden finally took the initiative to ask for the ball, and faced Wang Feng's defense with the ball, ready to attack with the ball.

The moment he stood at the top arc with the ball in his hands and faced Wang Feng, Harden suddenly felt a huge pressure on his face.

Wang Feng's position seemed rather loose, and his eyes were not sharp, but Harden couldn't find any flaws for a while. In other words, no matter what kind of offensive skills he used, he would be dealt with and defended by Wang Feng.

This is no longer a technical level, but a spiritual level of suppression!

"Must take a shot and score this goal!"

Harden knew that if he continued like this, he might really suffer from Wang Feng's phobia!

Continuously swinging the ball under the crotch, Harden suddenly touched the ground with his left foot and retreated, and made a signature step-back jumper!

Wang Feng knew that this guy would definitely use this move to interfere by raising his hand, while keeping a relatively safe distance from the opponent, so as not to give Harden any chance of fouling.

For Harden, the only thing Wang Feng is afraid of is his superb porcelain touching skills. After Wang Feng's strength reaches 88, his physical confrontation movements will inevitably become bigger, especially on the defensive end. Dengpengci was successful.

Although they kept a certain distance, the interference effect of raising their hands was effective, and the purple Hall of Fame-level defensive deterrence badge was triggered accordingly.

"frame--!"

Harden missed a three-pointer with a step back and was protected by Randall for a rebound.

The Lakers attack, and it's Wang Feng again.

Facing Ariza, Wang Feng thought of Harden's step-back three-pointer just now, so he followed suit and made a step-back three-pointer at a 45-degree angle from the left three-point line.

However, Wang Feng's movement is a three-point retreat after a breakthrough step. The movement is larger and more deceptive, but the difficulty of shooting with large movements also increases accordingly.

In order to defend Wang Feng's breakthrough, Ariza took two steps back. By the time he stepped forward to block Wang Feng, it was already too late.

"brush!"

In Wang Feng's consciousness space, many badges shone with light.

Hot spot hunter, marksman, quick shooter, crevice hunter...

With the blessing of a large number of badges, Wang Feng's shooting was easy and freehand, which formed a clear contrast with Harden.

The Rockets attacked, and Harden, who was not reconciled, once again singled Wang Feng with the ball. This time he chose to forcefully break through and hit the basket.

Faced with this situation, Wang Feng put his hands behind his back neatly to defend Harden, and successfully squeezed Harden with his chest so that Harden could not enter the penalty area at all.

Backhand defense is a trick Wang Feng used against Harden when he was still in the Warriors. He even used this method to defend against Harden throughout the game.

Unexpectedly, after more than two years, I saw this trick again.

Harden couldn't hold his breath immediately, and was so angry that he jumped up on the spot and shot.

But at this time, his position is in the middle distance, which is not his field of expertise, and even with his hands behind his back, Wang Feng's defensive shock badge is still in effect.

"frame--!"

The shooting hit the iron again.
