NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 309 The All-Star Weekend Begins

The ratings of the single-player events of the All-Star Weekend have been declining year after year because there are no particularly good new ideas.

The alliance has taken pains to do this, and has restructured many times in just a few years, but all of them have had little effect.

In fact, following the essence, one of the most important reasons is that the level of players participating in the single event is not enough, and there is not enough gimmicks to attract the attention of fans.

The league has also frequently invited top superstars to participate in individual events, but there are really not many responders.

But there is no way around that. It is an entertainment-type competition system. Winning the game will not be of any benefit to top-level stars, and even losing may lead to a decrease in their reputation.

Wang Feng can be regarded as the only exception. He is really a model worker. Not only did he actively respond to participate, he even signed up for all three events for three consecutive years.

Even the league officials were a little afraid that such frequent competitions would tire Wang Feng.

If every top superstar in the league has the enthusiasm of Wang Feng, then the ratings of the All-Star single project will definitely rise.

After all, compared to a group of little-known players, who is more accurate in three-pointers, who dunks harder, and whose skills are more gorgeous, the audience will definitely have a bloody and brutal dunk between James and Antetokounmpo. I am interested in who is more accurate in three-pointers between Li and Wang Feng, and who has better skills between Irving and Paul.

It's a pity that there are not many opportunities for such a scene to appear, and only Curry and Wang Feng's three-point duel has ever been staged.

But no matter how you say it, Wang Feng's registration for the competition has won a lot of attention for the league. This time, whether Wang Feng, who continues to participate in three individual events, can win three trophies and achieve a dominant achievement like last year, is also a question for many fans. They are the focus of attention.

2月10日，湖人队客场120：143再负费城76人，常规赛遭遇76人双杀。

Facing Embiid, the Lakers did not have a particularly good way, and the 76ers broke out in this game not only Embiid, except for Embiid who scored 16 points and 12 rebounds on 37 of 14 shots, Tobias . Harris scored 22 points, JJ. Resker had 21 points.

For the Lakers, Wang Feng scored 41 points and Jimmy Butler was sidelined again due to injury.

I have to admit that the lineup of the 76ers is indeed relatively restrained by the current Lakers. There is no way to contain Embiid on the inside. On the outside, the two guards Rondo and Rose can't prevent Ben Simmons from breaking through with the ball.

As an alternative point guard with a height of 2 meters, although Simmons has been criticized for his slow development of three-point shooting ability, his ability in the field of breakthrough with the ball is definitely at the top level of the league. For most teams For a small guard, it is a dimensionality reduction blow, and the main insider of the Lakers is Brook Lopez, who lacks the ability to protect the frame, which also makes Simmons even more unscrupulous in breaking through.

However, the 76ers were able to complete the double play against the Lakers in the regular season. It is not that the Lakers are really much worse than the 76ers. Feeling overwhelmed and unstoppable, what can I do?
If the two teams meet in the playoffs and play an entire series, the Lakers must have a better chance of winning.

Wang Feng didn't feel anything about being double-killed by the 76ers. The 76ers who failed to get Butler this season are far inferior to the 76ers in another time and space at the same time, and even the 76ers with Butler, the division The tie-breaker in the semifinals was still eliminated by Leonard, let alone without Butler.

Regardless of the final situation in the West, the East will definitely not be the 76ers who will finally stand out and join the finals.

On February 2, the Lakers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 12:117 away.

After that, the Lakers didn't play until the All-Star break.

On February 2, the NBA All-Star Weekend 16 was held at the home court of the Charlotte Hornets.

In the Rookie Challenge held on the 16th, the U.S. local team defeated the World Team 166:144. Lakers player Kuzma played well and scored 35 points, leading the U.S. native team to victory and successfully won the Rookie Challenge MVP.

Kuzma is still serving as a substitute for the Lakers this season, averaging about 26 minutes per game, averaging 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, and is an important scoring point for the Lakers on the bench.

Kuzma is quite satisfied with his current position in the team. Although he is not the team's starter, he has a stable playing time and shooting opportunities, and his personal data is barely good.

It is a pity that he does not know that the current large number of strikers of the Lakers has affected his personal data. In another time and space in the 18-19 season, Kuzma was the main starter of the Lakers. He averaged 33 minutes per game and scored 18.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. 2.5 assists, even slightly better than Ingram.

Of course, it doesn’t make much sense to simply compare the data. The young players of the Lakers in another time and space do have better statistics, but that Lakers haven’t made the playoffs yet. The current Lakers led by Wang Feng have the league record. top of the list.

……

After the rookie challenge on the first day, the single events on the second day came.

However, to everyone's surprise, Wang Feng, the two-time winner of the Skills Challenge and the favorite to win the championship, was eliminated in the first round.

The format of the Skills Challenge has not changed. Wang Feng's opponent in the first round is Luka Doncic in the same position.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Feng had a slight lead in speed, but when it came to passing the ball, due to the low passing value, he slowed down a bit in order to stabilize, and was caught up by Doncic from behind. In the final three-point shooting session, Wang Feng accidentally missed a three-pointer, while Doncic hit a three-pointer, successfully eliminated Wang Feng and entered the second round.

Wang Feng was also a little dumbfounded when the shot hit the iron.

In terms of three-point shooting ability, I must be much higher than Doncic, and with the blessing of shooting badges, the shooting rate is as stable as an old dog.

But even with a 99 three-point shooting ability and full badges, it is impossible to hit every shot in the true sense. This time his luck happened to be a little bit worse.

The drawbacks of individual competitions also emerged. If the two competed ten times, Wang Feng would definitely win the most times, but there was such an exception, and he was eliminated and missed the three consecutive championships of the Skills Challenge.

Although he was a bit depressed, there was nothing he could do. Wang Feng didn't put much energy into this project, and he didn't train deliberately before the All-Stars.

In other words, Wang Feng, who has a fatal flaw in passing the ball, was able to defend the championship of the Skills Challenge for two consecutive years.
