NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 357 Perfect start with 18 wins and 1 loss

"Wang Feng is really getting stronger and stronger."

Anyone who saw the process of the game couldn't help sighing.

Leonard and James, two top forward defenders, have nothing to do when facing Wang Feng.

Especially after Wang Feng's passing and assisting ability is also strong to the current level, he has almost no weaknesses on the field.

This is a rather terrifying thing. After all, even top superstars like Jordan and James have flaws. For example, Jordan's three-pointers are not accurate enough, James' free throws are a bit weak, and so on.

But the current Wang Feng couldn't find any flaws in a short time.

Facing players who are good at perimeter defense, Wang Feng will break through with the ball, using speed and strength to crush the opponent.

If facing a player who is physically strong and good at interior defense, Wang Feng will shoot three-pointers from the outside, relying on his super range to make opponents unable to attack.

In the event of double-teaming, Wang Feng's passing ability is also sufficient to pass the ball to an open teammate before the double-teaming is completely formed.

The current Wang Feng is completely a version of Doncic with enhanced scoring and defensive capabilities. He has comprehensive skills and strong comprehensive abilities. It is difficult to pick out some weaknesses from him personally. The only breakthrough may be the overall strength of his teammates.

But the Lakers are not the Mavericks of the future. Jimmy Butler and Ingram both have All-Star strength and are both offensive and defensive. They will definitely not hold back Wang Feng.

At the end of halftime, the point difference between the two teams further widened. The Lakers led 64 points in the two quarters at 53:11, taking advantage of the game.

At the end of the halftime, Wang Feng's personal data reached 19 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. The first triple-double of this season is close at hand.

In the third quarter of the second half, the Clippers launched a counterattack under the leadership of James, Leonard and sixth man Louis Williams.

James scored 8 points, Leonard scored 7 points on 6 of 14 shots, and Louis Williams also scored 7 points. The Clippers scored 40 points in a single quarter and successfully recovered the double-digit point difference to within three points .

But as the game progressed to the fourth quarter, Leonard's touch declined, and he only made 4 of 1 shots under Wang Feng's defense. Although James and Louis Williams scored 10 points each, they could face an explosion at the end of the fourth quarter. Relying on the key shooter to score 2 points in the last 9 minutes, Wang Feng was finally defeated.

At 120:116, the Lakers won a small away game by 4 points and won the opening game. At the same time, they defeated their arch-rival Clippers and won a complete victory.

In the whole game, Wang Feng played 39 minutes and scored a triple-double of 34 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists. His debut as the starting point guard was quite perfect.

湖人队这边除了王峰外，还有21投8中砍下21分7篮板4助攻的吉米.巴特勒，16投7中得到18分4篮板的英格拉姆。

而快船队那边，得到最高分的，是全场砍下30分6篮板5助攻的伦纳德，之后是14投8中得到23分的路易斯.威廉姆斯。

James' performance in this game was quite satisfactory, with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Although it can't be regarded as a relatively poor performance, compared with James' status in the world, it did disappoint the Clippers fans a little.

But for the result of this game, Clippers fans can accept it.

Although they lost the game, the difference between the two teams is only 4 points, which shows that the two teams are very close in strength.

You know, the Lakers lineup is a lineup that has been run-in for the entire season and won the championship last season. Although it is the first time for Wang Feng to play the point guard as a guest, after all, this group of players has already cooperated tacitly.

The Clippers are different. This is the first official match between James and Leonard. The two players who are both forwards must go through some running-in and mutual adaptation. Therefore, the Clippers at this stage are naturally far from reaching this level. The strongest state the lineup should have.

Once James and Leonard successfully run in and produce a good chemical reaction, it will be hard to say whether the Lakers will still be the opponent of the Clippers by then!
After the game, both the team's head coach Doug Rivers and the team's core James and Leonard were very optimistic.

"We have every reason to believe that as time goes by, the team's tacit understanding and chemical reaction will get better and better, and the strength of the Clippers will become stronger and stronger. The next time we meet the Lakers, who will win? It's hard to say!"

In this regard, the Lakers fans scoffed.

What about blowing?

You guys are running in, don't we?
Wang Feng's role as the starting point guard is also a bold attempt by the Lakers. Although the effect of the first game was good, it is obvious that there is also room for improvement.

The confidence of the Lakers fans was not groundless, and soon, the Lakers gave them a shot in the arm with their performance.

On October 10, the Lakers played against the Utah Jazz at home. The Lakers easily won 25:105.

On October 10, the Lakers beat the Charlotte Hornets 27:121 at home and won three consecutive victories in the opening game.

On October 10, the Lakers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 29:117 at home.

On November 11, the Lakers went to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks and won the game again at 1:119.

A wave of hearty five-game winning streak left the entire league speechless, and Wang Feng's performance in these five games made everyone exclaimed.

"My God! Is Wang Feng going to heaven?"

In 5 games, Wang Feng averaged 34.8 points, 12.7 rebounds and 11.2 assists per game, averaging a triple-double.

Although because of Westbrook, averaging a triple-double is no longer worth much, but Wang Feng, who had never averaged more than 4 assists per game in the previous few seasons, suddenly rose to the level of averaging double-digit assists per game. Who wouldn't be surprised?
"Wang Feng, who won the NBA championship and the Men's Basketball World Cup gold medal as a core player, seems to be unstoppable. Judging from this situation, the prediction of winning the championship before the start of the season must now be carefully considered."

At the end of the five games of the regular season, the only two players with a five-game winning streak are the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Jersey Nets.

For the Nets, the Big Three combination of Durant + George + Irving performed pretty well.

Although the three of them only averaged about 25 points per game, the total of the three together was already a high score of 75 points!

What's more, the Nets' top five opponents at the start of the game are not very strong, namely the Timberwolves, Knicks, Grizzlies, Pacers and Rockets.

Among these teams, only the Rockets are still able to play a little bit, especially the second brother Westbrook who is new to the team. When he met his former eldest brother Durant, he immediately became excited and led the third brother Harden to rush forward. Take Durant for a meal.

威斯布鲁克砍下27分7篮板8助攻，哈登则砍下36分5篮板8助攻，两人合力得到63分12篮板16助攻，数据相当豪华。

However, Durant, George and Irving scored 31 points, 28 points and 26 points respectively for the Nets' Big Three, for a total of 85 points.

Durant, who has not suffered a serious Achilles tendon rupture, is still the top scorer in the league, and his strength is not inferior to James, Antetokounmpo, Leonard and others.

As long as Irving does not stretch his hips, the Nets will undoubtedly be a more difficult opponent than the Clippers.

……

For Wang Feng, it doesn't matter how other teams are doing, what kind of performance and performance the Lakers can play is the key.

The time has entered November, and the Lakers defeated the Spurs, Bulls, and Heat in the next few games, and started a wave of eight consecutive victories.

On November 11, the Lakers lost to the Toronto Raptors on the road, ending the winning streak.

But what no one expected was that the eight-game winning streak had just ended, and the Lakers, who had lost one game, immediately continued their winning streak.

Throughout the remaining 11 games in November, the Lakers won all without exception, winning 10 consecutive victories again, and the record directly came to 10 wins and 18 loss!
However, in these 10 games, the only difficult opponent the Lakers encountered was the Golden State Warriors. The rest were such as the Kings, Eagles, Grizzlies, Spurs, Thunder, Pelicans, etc. team.

As for the Warriors, although the Big Three combination of Curry, Thompson, and Green is still there, in the absence of Durant as a general, the team's strength will inevitably decline. In the first half of the division, they are no longer as brave as they used to be, and their record is still ranked below the Lakers, Clippers and Nuggets.

It is worth mentioning that Curry, like another time and space, shouldered the banner of the team's offense after Durant left the team, his scoring average soared to 30+, and his offensive efficiency reached a new high in recent years.

This might be a blessing in disguise.

In Wang Feng's impression, in the 19-20 season, Curry only played 5 games, and he underwent surgery because of a broken palm, and he announced in advance that he would be reimbursed for the season.

But now, not only Klay Thompson is fine, even Curry has not been injured. The Splash Brothers have participated in more than ten games in the regular season very smoothly. One averaged 30+ points per game, and the other also left the team because of Durant , and the team did not use the sign-and-trade method to get Wolfberry Wiggins like in another time and space, and had to take on more scoring responsibilities, and the average score per game increased to about 25+.

In the entire Warriors team, only Green was the one who performed even more hips after Durant left the team.

In just a dozen games, Green's degradation is already visible to the naked eye.

He has a lot of possessions, but he can't score in double figures per game. His shooting percentage has barely maintained above 44% in the past few seasons, but it has dropped directly to 39%. The three-point shooting percentage has hit a record low, only 27.9%.

Not only that, but even his best defense is starting to become full of holes.

With a salary of 1854 million US dollars, Green is like an undercover agent placed by other teams in the Warriors. If it weren't for the super-efficient performance of the Splash Brothers teaming up to average 55+ points per game, the Warriors' record might have already plummeted!
