Chapter 258 The end of the regular season, 52 wins

How could Harden behave so unbearably when facing Wang Feng who was serious about defending?

Many fans watched this scene in front of the TV and found it incredible.

This season, although the Lakers had four games against the Rockets in the regular season, in the first three games, Wang Feng did not really seriously defend Harden.

On the one hand, it is because Wang Feng puts more energy and physical strength on the offensive end, and the defensive end will only give full play in key rounds. Usually, he only relies on the effect of the badge of defense and shock to save energy by eye defense.

On the other hand, when the Rockets face Wang Feng, they usually use pick-and-roll tactics to separate Wang Feng from Harden, allowing Harden to single out other weaker defensive players of the Lakers.

Wang Feng's ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is still average. Once he is separated by a pick-and-roll, he can only temporarily change pick-and-roll players.

In today's game, both sides obviously want to blow up their opponents to prove that they are more worthy of the regular season MVP award, so Harden didn't call the pick-and-roll screen to score at the beginning.

But after these two rounds of confrontation, Harden calmed down completely, especially at the moment when he saw Wang Feng calmly facing himself with his hands behind his back, Harden realized that if he continued to play Wang Feng single-handedly like this, his game might be very difficult. If you lose, you lose the game!

So in the next round, Harden decisively called for a pick-and-roll screen.

What is it if you can't beat Wang Feng?That is to say, if the fans spray a little, as long as his statistics in this game are not bad and he leads the team to win the game, the result will be the same!

Capela pulled out from the inside to cover Harden's pick-and-roll, and then quickly rushed to the basket after the pick-and-roll.

Lopez's footsteps are slow and he can't keep up with Capela at all, so Wang Feng can only catch up with Capela first to prevent Harden from passing the ball to the basket to eat cakes and score.

In this way, the player defending Harden from the outside becomes the big Lopez.

Facing Wang Feng, Harden was submissive, but facing Lopez, Harden punched hard without any hesitation.

It was another three-point shot after taking a step back to open up space. This time Harden made a successful shot and scored his first score of the game.

Harden gave up confrontation with Wang Feng and took the initiative to confess, allowing the Rockets' offense to recover, but Wang Feng is not a vegetarian on the Lakers side.

Most importantly, Ariza couldn't guard Wang Feng at all.

After a few rounds of offense, the player marking Wang Feng has changed from Ariza to PJ Tucker.

But such a change of defense does not make any sense.

As a short power forward, PJ Tucker has a positive defensive attitude, tough confrontation, and dirty moves. It is very annoying to entangle, and it is much more difficult to deal with than Ariza.

PJ Tucker's most famous defensive resume in his career is to defend Durant when he was in the Bucks in the future, successfully limiting his shooting percentage to less than 45%, and 11 turnovers in the entire series.

But that was Durant, not Wang Feng.

Wang Feng's technical characteristics on the offensive end are basically in the unsolvable stage except for double-teaming.

In the face of flexible defensive players, Wang Feng can rely on the power of 88 to force his way to the basket like James.

When encountering an opponent who is heavier and stronger than himself, Wang Feng can use the speed and agility of 92 and 93, plus the blessing of the first step master badge, to easily pass the opponent in one step.

Compared with breakthroughs with the ball, Wang Feng is more powerful in three-pointers and mid-to-long-range shots, which are stable and efficient. With the badge of a fast shooter, his shots are extremely fast and difficult to block.

With Wang Feng's offensive ability, perhaps only the peak Leonard in the entire league can slightly limit his scoring efficiency, and only slightly.

Throughout the first quarter, he made 10 of 6 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 14 points in a single quarter. Relying on Wang Feng's scoring, the Lakers entered the second quarter with a 28-23 lead of 5 points.

In the second quarter, Harden started to take a lot of shots, relying on the pick-and-roll to separate Wang Feng's defense, which really allowed him to find many good opportunities to score.

However, Wang Feng's scoring efficiency is obviously higher than him.

哈登第二节7投4中,三分4中2,罚球4中4,得到14分。

Wang Feng scored 17 points in the second quarter, including 4 three-pointers.

At halftime, Wang Feng had scored 31 points, while Harden had 22 points.

In the third quarter, the Rockets' role players began to exert their strength. Eric Gordon scored 9 points in a single quarter, Gerald Green scored 6 points, and Capela also scored 6 points.

Harden sent 5 assists in this quarter, but failed to score 1 point. The two teams tied in the third quarter and entered the fourth quarter with a score of 81:81.

"Unexpectedly, the Lakers could fight the Rockets to such an extent? Or maybe the Rockets' regular season rankings have been determined and they have no heart to fight, which led to this situation?"

At least in the eyes of everyone, the Rockets, who won 64 wins in the regular season, are obviously stronger than the Lakers, who just won 50 wins.

The game entered the fourth quarter, and Chris Paul began to take over the game.

He made 5 of 5 shots, including two 3-pointers, and scored 12 points in a single quarter.

But on the other hand, Wang Feng also showed a strong scoring ability in the final quarter, even when the Rockets began to resort to double-team tactics, they could still score.

整个第四节,王峰10投5中,三分球4中2,罚球2中2得到14分。

The game lasted until the last minute.

At the last critical moment, Wang Feng hit the basket with a double-team and a violent dunk caused 2+1, ending the game.

With Harden missing a three-pointer, the Lakers narrowly won by two points 105:103.

王峰整场比赛27投17中,三分球14中8,罚球8中6,得到48分13篮板4助攻4抢断。

In contrast, Harden made 15 of 6 shots throughout the game, barely scored 27 points and 10 assists with free throws, and had 6 turnovers.

The gap between the two players who competed fiercely for the MVP in the direct confrontation between the two teams was extremely intuitive, which surprised everyone.

Defeating the Rockets brought the Lakers' record to 51 wins, and in the next final game of the regular season, the Lakers faced the Los Angeles Clippers.

Facing this little brother from the same city, the Lakers, who had been suppressed for several years, raised their eyebrows and punched hard. It was a hearty slaughter.

121:100, 21 points to beat the opponent.

In this game, Wang Feng only played about 28 minutes. He scored 25 points and 7 rebounds before taking a break, because the game entered garbage time before the end of the third quarter. Now this Clippers without Paul and Griffin , the strength is not what it used to be.

So far, the Lakers have finished all 82 games in the regular season, and they finally achieved a record of 52 wins and 30 losses, with a winning percentage of 63.4%.
