NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 304 The First Round of All-Star Voting Released

The Warriors were criticized, but the Lakers received a lot of praise, especially Wang Feng. His performance in the game was so perfect, especially in the last 2 minutes, he scored 15 points alone. Compared with McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points, but looking at today's league, no one can match it!

Facing the Warriors, a team whose lineup made the entire league feel hopeless, Wang Feng scored 52 points and scored a lore. The news was reported by major media that night, and the heat completely overwhelmed other Christmas games held at the same time teams and stars.

"Facing his old club, Wang Feng once again proved himself, with 52 points + the winning goal, who else in this world can stop Wang Feng?"

The fans of Huawangfeng, which is far away across the ocean, ran with great joy.

"Brother Feng NB! Destroy the NBA!"

"The sunspots get out and get beaten? Didn't they say that the Warriors finished torturing the Lakers? Didn't they say that Wang Feng couldn't win without his thighs? What kind of thighs are you hugging? Brother Feng himself is the biggest thigh!"

This is just an ordinary regular season victory, but with the superimposition of the double buffs of the Christmas game and the match against the Warriors, the victory made Wang Feng's popularity skyrocket.

On December 12, the day after Christmas, the NBA All-Star voting window officially opened.

A large number of Wang Feng fans actively voted for him, Hua Guo fans, American fans, the grand occasion was unprecedented.

A week later, on January 1, the NBA officially announced the results of the first round of voting for the 4 All-Star Fan Vote. Wang Feng temporarily led the league with 2019 million+ votes, and Los Angeles Clippers forward James won 120. 98 votes ranked second, and the third place was Antetokounmpo, the head star of the Eastern Milwaukee Bucks, with 97 votes in the first round.

It can be seen from the votes that Wang Feng now has a very high support rate in the league, even overwhelming the No.1 James in the league.

James actually played very well during his time with the Clippers, averaging 28 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. The Clippers currently have a record of 21 wins and 16 losses, ranking in the upper half of the Western Conference.

Judging from the lineup, the Clippers' lineup is actually very average. Except for James, the only star of the team is Anthony.

But in the new season of the Clippers, Anthony's performance is still not satisfactory as Wang Feng expected.

After more than 30 games, the current scoring average is only 13.7 points per game, and the shooting percentage has just reached 40%.

The reason for this is mainly because Anthony has not completely changed his own positioning.

Now he still feels that he is the league's leading scorer and an All-Star player. His playing style on the court is still mainly based on attacking with the ball in front of the frame, and most of them are one-on-one.

But Anthony's explosive power and sense of the ball are no longer enough to support his singles efficiency. Just a player with better defense can greatly reduce his shooting rate.

In another time and space, Anthony was also waived after the Rockets played ten games. He rested for a whole season, reconsidered his position on the field, and then went to the Portland Trail Blazers in the 19-20 season. After gradually adapting to my new position, I began to gradually rejuvenate myself.

And even if he is in his second career, Anthony can only sign a veteran's basic salary contract with the team, and use his scoring ability to shine for the team during substitute time.

Currently in the Clippers, James' most capable helpers are forwards Tobias Harris, Louis Williams and Montrezl Harrell.

So far in the regular season, Harris, Williams and Harrell can contribute 18.4 points, 17.8 points and 16 points per game respectively, which are the main scoring points of the Clippers besides James.

The outside world is very satisfied with the performance of the Clippers in the new season, and believes that this is all due to James. He does have the ability to increase the upper limit of a team's strength.

Only Wang Feng knows that in another time and space, this Clippers team without James finally entered the playoffs this season with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, and won two games in the first round against the Warriors .

Tobias Harris and Louis Williams should have averaged 20+ points per game this season, plus Gallinari with 19.8 points per game and Harrell with 16.6 points per game, as well as Patrick Beverly, etc. Defensive players, the strength of the Clippers is actually not weak, but all the players are underestimated by the league.

At the end of December, the Lakers had a game with the Clippers, and in the end the Clippers won.

It's not that Wang Feng and James were defeated in the contest. Wang Feng scored 36 points and 14 rebounds, and James scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists.

But the Clippers' bench exploded.

Louis Williams, who came off the bench, made 18 of 11 shots and scored 36 points.

Harris and Harrell also scored 17 and 15 points respectively.

而湖人队这边，除了王峰的36分外，只有吉米巴特勒21投9中得到22分5篮板5助攻，其余球员再无一人得分上双。

Wang Feng wanted to try to use the key shooter in the last 2 minutes to turn the tide.

But with 2 minutes left in the game, the point difference between the two sides was 19 points, and the key shooter was not invincible. With 19 points, 7 three-pointers had to be shot, and the opponent had to score 1 point to complete the overtake.

The Clippers' pseudo-substitute Louis Williams is really a very strong player, with explosive scoring ability, sharp breakthrough and stable long-range shots. He has almost no shortcomings except defense, and James who came to the Clippers seems to have avoided Cursed by injuries, he has also been healthy so far.

You must know that in another time and space, James has been injured playing for the Lakers at this stage, and the team's record has also plummeted due to James' long-term absence, which eventually led to missing the playoffs.

With a healthy James and a group of Clippers players who are underestimated but extremely capable, this Los Angeles Clippers team will also be a strong team in the future playoffs.

……

Overall, the Lakers' game in December was relatively perfect. Although they lost to the Spurs and the Clippers, they defeated their rivals, the Rockets and the Warriors, especially the victory over the Warriors, which greatly boosted the team's morale!
However, as the schedule enters January 2019, the real challenge for the Lakers has just begun.

If the two-month schedule in November and December is relatively friendly to the Lakers, and basically there are not many strong enemies, then the Lakers schedule in January can be described as gathering strong enemies.
