NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 312 All Stars, Wang Feng VS Brother Antetokounmpo

The MVP of the All-Star Game can get 15 free distribution points rewarded by the system, which is not a small amount, so Wang Feng certainly cannot miss it.

Therefore, at the beginning of the All-Star Game, Wang Feng took up the offensive banner of Wang Feng's team.

The starting players for the All-Stars on both sides are the ones who were originally selected during the selection process.

On Wang Feng's side are Walker, Curry, Leonard, Wang Feng and Embiid.

The Antetokounmpo team is Irving, Harden, James, Durant and Antetokounmpo.

And the responsibility of defending Wang Feng was handed over to Antetokounmpo, who is also the captain.

Antetokounmpo is tall and has long arms and strong explosive power. However, due to his high height, his lateral movement speed is slightly slower than that of forwards in his early 2 meters. Antetokounmpo struggled to defend.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Feng broke through with the ball twice in a row, passing Antetokounmpo and scoring dunks.

The familiar plot made all the starting stars understand that Wang Feng wanted to compete for the All-Star MVP again.

Although the All-Star MVP is only a dispensable award for the top superstars present, Wang Feng has won the All-Star MVP for two consecutive years, and now he wants to continue the MVP for three consecutive years. .

"What's the matter, it seems that you are powerful? We are worse than you, can't we beat you in this situation?"

Among them, Antetokounmpo is especially unhappy.

This season, Antetokounmpo played the peak performance of his career, currently averaging 28 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists per game, leading the Bucks to the top of the Eastern Conference.

The Greek monster's dominant performance on both ends of the offense and defense has made it a popular candidate for the regular season MVP.

However, there was one person who kept pressing on him, and that was Wang Feng.

Wang Feng averaged close to 40+ points per game, and averaged about 12 rebounds per game. Although his assists were a little less, he maintained a high level of around 3 steals per game, and his personal data was firmly ahead of him.

Even compared to the team's record, the Lakers' current record is the best in the league, and even the Bucks can only rank second. Even if the number of losses of the Lakers gradually increased in February, the difference in wins between the two teams is quite large.

If this trend continues, it is absolutely impossible for him to beat Wang Feng in the selection of the final regular season MVP.

As a Greek basketball player, Antetokounmpo, like Wang Feng, does not have the sentimental vote bonus of local players in the United States. The selection is purely based on personal strength and team performance.

Originally as a direct competitor, Antetokounmpo has been thinking about how to defeat Wang Feng to win his first regular season MVP trophy. While defending Wang Feng very hard, the offensive end also exerted its strength.

There is one thing to say, even Wang Feng, who is now a fully grown Antetokounmpo, struggles to defend.

Wang Feng's strongest thing is to use the purple defensive deterrence badge to defend outside shots. Antetokounmpo is obviously a player who focuses on breakthroughs with the ball and offense at the basket. He rarely uses outside shooting skills, or his long-range shots The ability is too poor, so I basically don't shoot very much.

Defensive breakthrough Wang Feng mainly relied on his excellent speed, agility, and the golden death coil badge.

Death Coil is indeed a top-level defensive badge with a defensive effect no less than defensive shock. It can force the ball holder to make mistakes through close-fitting defense. Although Wang Feng's badge has not reached the top purple Hall of Fame level, but The defensive effect is really top-notch.

But unfortunately, this badge also has little effect on Brother Antetokounmpo. The reason is still the physical gap.

Antetokounmpo is too tall, with a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 11 meters. It is too difficult for Wang Feng to press the defense alone to complete the steal. , and then leaned the dribbler out, Wang Feng's arm couldn't reach it at all.

"Made, the gibbon..."

Regarding this, Wang Feng could only curse secretly, there was nothing he could do.

The difference in body size exists objectively and is completely unavoidable.

The reason why Antetokounmpo has such lethality in the league depends on his height and long arms, and his ability to attack the frame with full weight after gaining weight.

Of course, Antetokounmpo is not without weaknesses. Due to his weak shooting ability, he is very afraid of heavy centers guarding the basket. After all, even if he gained weight, in order to ensure sufficient mobility, Antetokounmpo did not gain weight to the center. , even slightly inferior to Wang Feng in terms of strength.

Therefore, if he is wrestling with a heavy center in the paint, Antetokounmpo still can't take advantage of it.

This is especially evident in the international arena.

As a Greek star, Antetokounmpo has represented the Greek men's basketball team in many world competitions. However, FIBA ​​regulations allow zone defense and there is no 3-second defense rule. As a result, the defense will arrange a heavy center to guard the basket for a long time.

Antetokounmpo, who can only break through the frame and hit the inside line, can hardly perform under the crowded basket in the international arena.

In September this year, the Men's Basketball World Cup will start. In another time and space, Antetokounmpo, who just won the regular season MVP, is full of spirits and leads the Greek men's basketball team to achieve a good result.

The results were astonishing. Antetokounmpo averaged only 14+8 per game, and he was even placed on the bench in some games. His performance can be described as a mess.

In this year's playoffs, the Bucks will be eliminated by the Raptors 4:2 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Antetokounmpo averaged only 6 points, 22.7 rebounds and 13.5 assists in 5.5 games, far worse than 29.8 points and 9.5 assists. Rebounding Leonard, the reason for this is that the Raptors have Marc Gasol who weighs 120 kilograms inside, which is one of the important reasons.

Gasol's performance in this playoffs was not good. When facing many fast-paced teams, due to his heavy and slow footsteps, he played very little time and averaged only 9+6 per game.

However, in the face of the Bucks series, he averaged 31.7 minutes per game, firmly rooted at the basket, and Leonard's entanglement on the outside, which made Antetokounmpo miserable.

Of course, these are all things to say later. On the stage of the All-Stars, there are very few cases of double-teaming, and even very few insiders will make up defenses at the basket. As long as the opposing player can break through the defender and get to the basket, In most cases, they will watch the other party perform violent dunks. After all, this is an exhibition game, not a life-and-death fight in the playoffs.

Therefore, the first quarter of the game became a fight between Wang Feng and Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo.

In this case, Wang Feng gradually gained the upper hand.
