NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 265 The playoffs are over, the best lineup is announced

The Lakers eliminated the Thunder with a total score of 4:2, which was a moderate upset.

After all, before the start of the first round of the series, more people are generally more optimistic that the Thunder with the Big Three configuration can advance, and they are also looking forward to seeing the Big Four of the Warriors VS the Big Three of the Thunder, Durant and Westbrook's former brothers.
But obviously the Lakers are the team that played better, or Wang Feng played better than the Big Three of the Thunder.

In the 6-game series, Wang Feng averaged 38 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, shot 53% from the field, and maintained above 45% from the three-point range as before. The high-intensity defense in the playoffs did not have any impact on him .

In the first round of the entire series, there were only two players comparable to Wang Feng in terms of personal performance. They were the star James of the Cavaliers who won seven games in the Eastern Conference with the Pacers and advanced to the second round.

18年灭霸詹真的不是浪得虚名，他几乎是以一己之力生生地拖着骑士队赢下抢七大战，7场系列赛场均34.4分10篮板7.7助攻，55.3%的命中率甚至比王峰还要更高。

The other is the New Orleans Pelicans. The thick-browed brother Anthony Davis showed a strong inside offense in the playoffs, averaging 33 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 57.6%.

However, the Pelicans' record in the first round of the playoffs was 0:4 and they were directly swept out.

There is no way, they are facing the strongest Warriors team in the entire league.

Last season's finals collapsed, making the Warriors players pay more attention to this playoffs, and with the Cavaliers already disintegrated, they are the strongest in the league!
After easily sweeping the Pelicans led by Anthony Davis, their opponent in the second round is the Lakers who eliminated the Thunder.

……

"I must admit that the Lakers have brought us too many surprises this season. Not only did they enter the playoffs with the third record in the Western Conference, they also eliminated the Thunder led by the Big Three and entered the conference semifinals."

"But unfortunately, their journey to the playoffs has come to an end. The strength of the Warriors and the Lakers is completely different. There will be no suspense in this round of matchup. Even Wang Feng can't bring miracles. After all, the strength of the two sides The gap is too big."

Charles Barkley, a well-known American basketball commentator who once suffered a big loss from Dayao and Wang Feng, confessed frankly to the camera.

And this time, O'Neill, who has always been against Barkley, couldn't refute.

"Unfortunately, you are right. The player configuration gap between the two teams is too huge. The salary of the Lakers this season is only a little over 1.13 million U.S. dollars. The Warriors make $1700 million and have four All-Star players."

"What the Lakers need to consider now is how to win another top superstar to join in the free market, further strengthen the strength of the team, and make it qualified to win the championship."

It turns out they were right.

The Warriors defeated the Lakers 4:1 in the second round and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, while the Lakers stopped in the Western Conference Semifinals and were eliminated.

This result was not surprising to everyone, but in the 5-match series between the two teams, Wang Feng once again surprised everyone.

In 5 games, Wang Feng averaged 40.2 points, 13 rebounds and 3 steals per game. Although he was chased and intercepted by Green, Iguodala, Thompson and other defensive champions throughout the game, his shooting percentage dropped from 53% in the first round to only 41%, but the super scoring ability still conquered everyone.

Although the four words "defeated and glorious" are not excessive when applied to Wang Feng.

It's just that no matter how you say it, it is an indisputable fact that Wang Feng and the Lakers' playoff journey has ended here, and the subsequent playoffs have nothing to do with them.

After the last game, at the press conference.

"Mr. Wang Feng, this season is the first time in your career that you missed the divisional finals and even the finals. How do you feel about this?"

Facing the reporter's question, Wang Feng smiled and shook his head.

"In terms of feelings... the mood is a bit complicated. It would be a lie to say that I will not lose. After all, this is the first time I have lost a playoff series, but at the same time as I am lost, I also have a little sense of accomplishment."

"In the past three seasons, although I have won the championship ring, in the final analysis, I did not get it with me as the core. Now my pursuit is not just as simple as the championship ring, I want to get more Many, such as regular season MVP, finals FMVP."

"Obviously, only when you come to such a team and become the core leader of the team, you will have this opportunity! So here I am!"

"Although we lost this season, we will come back next season, and we will become stronger and better. At that time, the championship trophy will belong to me sooner or later!"

Not long after, Wang Feng's statement at the press conference was confirmed.

On May 5th, the Eastern and Western finals were still in full swing, and the league announced the selection results of the best team of the season and the best defensive team.

Without any suspense, Wang Feng was selected to the best team and the best defensive team at the same time.

The players who were selected for the best team together with him are Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Harden of the Rockets, James of the Cavaliers and Davis of the Pelicans.

The five spots for the best second team are Westbrook of the Thunder, DeRozan of the Raptors, Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Durant of the Warriors and Embiid of the 76ers.

The best three teams are Warriors Curry, Pacers Oladipo, Thunder George, Timberwolves Butler and Towns.

This is the first time in Wang Feng's career that he was selected to the best team. Before that, he only won the best third team and second team in the Warriors and Cavaliers respectively.

Although they are all the best teams, the first team is obviously much more valuable than the latter. After all, the selection for the first team represents the best player in their respective positions in the current season.

If Wang Feng continues to stay with the Cavaliers this season, I'm afraid he still won't be selected for the best team, because the Cavaliers have James, he can't get so many possessions, averaging more than 24 shots per game.

But being selected for the best team is just an appetizer for Wang Feng.

Because there is still the most valuable honor award in the league, the regular season MVP has not yet been announced.

The NBA awards ceremony for the 2017-18 season is scheduled for June 6, and before that, the NBA playoffs will end one step earlier.

Speaking of the Eastern and Western finals, they are the Western Warriors VS Rockets, and the Eastern Cavaliers VS Celtics.

And the trend of the game is actually exactly the same as the historical process in another time and space.

Both the East and the West played seven games, fighting to the last moment, and the final winners were the Warriors and Cavaliers.

The Warriors and Cavaliers will meet in the Finals for the fourth consecutive year.
