NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 291 Against the Rockets, then against Harden

After defeating the Heat, so far in the first week of December, the Lakers have achieved 12 wins and 5 loss in 4 games, while Wang Feng averaged 1 points and 40 rebounds in five games, and his performance was extremely explosive.

"It seems that getting a new helper has made Wang Feng even more powerful. He has become more powerful on the offensive end. Entering December, Wang Feng is resolute in his shots and appears very confident on the field. He wants both the victory of the game and his personal honor!"

"Such a crazy performance makes people doubt whether anyone can stop Wang Feng. The Lakers' opponent in the next game will be the Houston Rockets. But as to whether the Rockets can stop the Lakers, I believe most people They're all skeptical."

"With the start of the new season, the performance of the Rockets is somewhat disappointing. Losing several outstanding role players such as Ariza in the summer has undoubtedly affected the strength of the Rockets. Currently, they can only rank seventh in the Western Conference. Location."

"But Harden, the core player of the Rockets, can be compared with Wang Feng in terms of personal data. In the first week of December, Harden averaged 12 points and 37 assists per game. Unfortunately, he met Wang Feng, who averaged 6.5 points per game. Best player."

"When these two teams meet, whether the Lakers, who have been advancing all the way, continue to win, or the Rockets bottom out and win the game, Wang Feng or Harden, who has the better scoring ability, is worth looking forward to!"

……

"Wang, in this game, I will help you defend Harden. How about you put all your energy on offense?"

Before the game against the Rockets, in the locker room, Butler took the initiative to say to Wang Feng.

At this time, Butler and Wang Feng were in the honeymoon period.

Although Butler's personal data dropped slightly after coming to the Lakers, from 21.3 points in the Timberwolves to 17.5 points, and the average number of shots per game was only about 13.

But now Butler has passed the period of pursuing personal data, or he himself is not a player who pays attention to personal data.

In the few seasons when the Bulls were the first core, Butler averaged only about 15 shots per game. Compared with pure offense, Butler prefers to contribute to the team on both ends of the offense and defense. He was selected four times. The best defensive team is the best proof.

What Butler wants to pursue now is something on the level of honor, such as a championship.

Therefore, he will be angry at the lazy attitude of Towns and Wiggins in the Timberwolves.

The current record of the Lakers is perfect, 24 wins and 4 losses, with a winning rate of 85%, ranking first in the league!

The continuous victories make Butler very satisfied, and at the same time, the Lakers management has given him a definite promise that he will complete the contract extension with a four-year maximum salary of 4 million US dollars in the summer.

Among them, Wang Feng's promotion behind the scenes played a very important factor. Butler knew this, so he was very grateful to Wang Feng. Help out during duels.

"Thanks, but let me do it. I know Harden and I'm better at guarding him than you."

Wang Feng said with a slight smile. "As long as there is no pick-and-roll and defense, it is not so easy for Harden to score in front of me, and don't you think it will be more fulfilling to beat the opponent in this direct scoring duel?"

Although Wang Feng's super scoring ability now makes people always ignore Wang Feng's defense from time to time, but his defensive efficiency has not decreased at all, and has even become stronger because of the improvement of inside defensive ability!
This season, Wang Feng's defensive efficiency reached 99, which is on par with Antetokounmpo and Rudy Gobert of the Jazz.

Wang Feng's current defensive ability is similar to that of Green at his peak, taking into account both inside and outside, and can defend from position 1 to position 5. The only difference is that Wang Feng's ability to defend outside is stronger, while Green is better at defending inside.

When a player has the league's top offensive ability while also possessing top defensive ability, it is really a bit too scary.

This is one of the reasons why the Lakers can have such a good record at the beginning of this season.

Stable scoring and defense ensure the Lakers' lowest limit, and they can win the game steadily when facing those weak teams without too many upsets.

……

Lakers VS Rockets, this widely watched game, naturally has many media broadcasting the game, including Huaguo's CCTV sports channel.

On December 2018, 12, a large number of fans waited in front of the live broadcast room on TV and computer screens early, and the atmosphere was lively.

"Come on, Wang Feng! Try to score 50+ in this game! Defeat Harden, the scoring champion is yours!"

"What kind of horse is Pengcideng? How dare he compare with Wang Feng? What else can he do besides flopping and cheating free throws? Nearly one-third of Harden's 30-plus points this season came from free throws. Every time I cut to the Rockets' All you see in the game is his free throws, and it's disgusting."

"Facts, if the free throws of all players in the scoring list are removed, Wang Feng's scoring average can still be maintained at 30+, while Harden's scoring average will drop to around 24 points, who is better at scoring? , at a glance!"

Compared with the number and support of fans in China, it is impossible for Harden to be on the same level as Wang Feng. Even in the United States, there are more fans supporting Wang Feng than Harden.

Playing style is really important to the shaping of a star and the degree of fan attraction.

There is one thing to say, Harden's style of play is definitely not elegant. A large number of free throws disrupt the rhythm of the game. That unique step-back, no matter how the league and referees define it, is still too much like a walk in the eyes of most people.

"Friends in the audience, welcome to watch the NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers game at home."

"Now players from both sides have come on stage one after another. The Lakers' starters are Rajon Rondo, Jimmy Butler, Brandon Ingram, Wang Feng and Brook Lopez."

"For the Rockets, the starting five are Chris Paul, Eric Gordon, James Harden, PJ Tucker and Clint Capela."

"The game started, the two sides jumped the ball, Capela won the scrimmage, and the Rockets had the ball to organize the offense."

……

On the court, Paul dribbled the ball halfway, glanced at Wang Feng who was standing directly in front of Harden, without any hesitation, directly raised his hand to make a tactical gesture, and he was the main attacker for this ball.

Wang Feng and Harden are already old rivals. Even the Rockets players know that Harden's offensive efficiency will be seriously affected by Wang Feng's defense.
