NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 362 Pick-and-roll dodger!
Although the two teams were evenly matched in the first quarter, the Nets immediately launched a wave of 12:4 attacks in the second quarter, opening up the point difference in the blink of an eye.

Kevin Durant started to exert his strength.

Scoring 10 points in the first quarter was just a warm-up for him.

As soon as he entered the second quarter, Durant immediately showed a strong offensive ability, and Ingram couldn't prevent all kinds of mid-range and long-range shots.

The LV gap between the two sides is too huge.

"It's not very good... It seems that Brandon still has some practice."

Seeing this scene, Wang Feng couldn't help shaking his head.

There is absolutely no problem with Ingram's talent, it just needs time and experience to hone it further.

Durant's touch has been completely heated up, and he continued to let Ingram defend, but the result was only to allow the opponent to get more points.

Therefore, in the process of retreating, Wang Feng made a gesture of switching defenses at Ingram.

……

"Hmph, it's finally your turn, Wang Feng!"

Looking at Wang Feng standing in front of him, Durant didn't show any surprise.

In the Lakers, Wang Feng is the player with the strongest defensive ability, which is the consensus of the entire league.

In fact, from the very beginning when he found out that Wang Feng didn't mark him, Durant felt a little upset.

What's the meaning?Look down on me?
It is also because of this that Durant beat Ingram with all his strength, and let the Lakers and Wang Feng understand that Durant is not a rookie who can defend against any cat or dog.

And now, he got his wish.

"What? It looks like you're feeling pretty good today."

Wang Feng looked at Durant in front of him, couldn't help but laughed and said, "It's not over yet at halftime, you almost scored 30 points, are you interested in breaking your own scoring record in a single game?"

Durant's highest score in a single game so far is 54 points, which is the score Durant scored in the Thunder in 14.

As a top scorer in history, his career high score is only 54, which is somewhat surprising.

There is no way, physical fitness is the biggest factor limiting Durant's performance.

Durant didn't pay attention to Wang Feng's provocative words. He knew that this was a aggressive method, and Wang Feng wanted him to continue playing singles with the ball.

The same defense, Wang Feng's defense and Ingram's defense are two completely different concepts.

Since Wang Feng entered the league, Durant has been playing against Wang Feng for several seasons. Of course, he knows Wang Feng's defensive strength, and there is no need to forcefully compete now.

But at this time Durant's touch is hot, and he is not willing to waste this rare opportunity.

So Durant, who was standing in the top arc with the ball, raised his hand slightly to make a gesture of calling for a cover.

Seeing this, Jarrett Allen on one side immediately came out of the inside to screen for Durant.

At this time, the inside line of the Lakers has changed from Lopez to Howard.

Compared with mobility and ability to protect the frame, Howard is much better than Lopez, but it is also limited to the category of inside center.

Howard at his peak was an out-and-out Warcraft. He had the size and stature of a center forward, and at the same time had the explosive power and agility of a guard. The sprint speed in three quarters of the game was astonishingly fast. Called a single exchange for James' capital.

But now, injuries and increasing age have made Howard no longer as brave as before. Relying on his advantages in weight and experience, it is already a very good thing that he can still be active as a blue-collar player on the field. .

Once Allen's pick-and-roll separates Wang Feng and Durant, forming a situation where Durant singles out Howard, then there is a high probability that Howard will not be able to guard against Durant, who is feeling hot.

However, a scene that no one expected happened at this time.

Allen came to Wang Feng's right side and stood still to form a pick-and-roll screen.

Durant immediately went around the right and prepared to go straight down to attack the frame.

But he just came over from Alan's right, and before he could speed up, a figure followed closely in front of him.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Durant couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Wang Feng?

Wasn't he blocked by the pick-and-roll, why did he appear here?So fast?

Durant had to stop, and at the same time couldn't help turning his head to look at Allen, with a little reproach in his eyes.

"How did you block this cover, why didn't you even block it?"

At this time, Jarrett Allen was also in a daze.

He didn't even figure out how Wang Feng bypassed him, he was very sure that he had definitely taken his position just now.

Jarrett Allen's position in the Nets is similar to that of Capela of the Rockets. A standard blue-collar player who protects rebounds, guards the basket, and picks and rolls to cover teammates while catching the ball. These are His work on the field.

Pick-and-roll is his essential basic skill. How to cover at the right time, and what kind of position can block the opponent to the maximum extent, these are the main contents of Allen's daily training.

Because of this, his pick-and-roll quality is actually very good, especially combined with his 2-meter height and wide body, it is definitely more than enough to block a player.

He was puzzled, but Jarrett Allen immediately adjusted his position and returned to Wang Feng's pick-and-roll screen.

But in the next second, Wang Feng quickly bypassed his pick-and-roll and came to Durant first.

Jarrett Allen: "???"

After two consecutive pick-and-roll failures, the tactics have completely failed.

Watching the game time pass by every minute and every second, and the violation was about to happen, Durant didn't care about it, so he could only bite the bullet and pull a jumper on the spot.

Although the height and wingspan have an advantage, Wang Feng's jumping is really good. The moment Durant took off and shot, Wang Feng jumped high and almost interfered with Durant's shot.

Although the basketball was projected dangerously and was not physically affected, the defensive shock badge was already in effect.

"frame!"

The shot was missed, the rebound was protected by Kuzma, the Lakers attacked, Wang Feng also played a pick-and-roll cover, Howard completely blocked George, and taking advantage of Allen's gap to defend, Wang Feng was in the distance. Take off and shoot from a position one step away from the three-point line.

"brush!"

There was a clear sound of brushing the net, and it was also a shot from outside the three-point line, and Wang Feng made a precise hit.

With the blessing of many shooting badges such as sharpshooter, hot spot hunter, and long-range turret, Wang Feng's three-point stability is far better than Durant!

"Something's wrong... what's going on?"

Durant frowned suspiciously.

In the round just now, when facing the pick-and-roll, Wang Feng behaved a little too abnormally.

The pick-and-roll screen was one of Durant's most commonly used moves against Wang Feng in the past few seasons. After all, the pick-and-roll screen can avoid direct confrontation between him and Wang Feng, and it can also save him energy, which is the best of both worlds.

In the past, this trick was often tried and failed, and the effect was very good, but why did it suddenly not work today?

Of course Durant didn't know that after the Men's Basketball World Cup ended this summer, Wang Feng, who won the championship gold medal, immediately drew a purple defensive badge, pick and roll dodger.

At the same time, in order to activate the Purple Hall of Fame-level pick-and-roll dodger, Wang Feng spent a lot of free distribution points to directly strengthen the pick-and-roll defensive IQ in the numerical panel to 90.

Super high ability value superimposed with the top purple badge, Wang Feng is now the league's top pick-and-roll expert.

No matter facing any player who is good at pick-and-roll screens, Wang Feng can use the fastest speed and the shortest distance to bypass and catch up with the original defensive player!

Of course, a badge doesn't mean invulnerability, even for the top purple Hall of Fame-level pick-and-roll dodgers.

If the opponent is ruthless and directly uses a double pick-and-roll to cover, then even Wang Feng is helpless. No matter how powerful the effect of the badge is, it must abide by the rules of physics.

But in a normal game, who would frantically use double pick-and-roll screens directly?
At least for now, Durant never thought of and would not choose to call a double pick-and-roll screen.

He was just a little unwilling to call the pick-and-roll again, and this time he did not let Jarrett Allen, who failed two pick-and-rolls in a row, to cover, but chose Paul George.

But George is also not easy to use. Even because of his thinner body than Jarrett Allen, it is easier for Wang Feng to bypass George than Allen.

"..."

Looking at Wang Feng, who quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and blocked him again, Durant was a little at a loss. It was too unwise to play Wang Feng directly, so he could only choose to pass the ball to George, who had just failed the pick-and-roll.

George was also surprised, why Wang Feng's movement around the screen was so sensitive, it felt like he had practiced it countless times.

The game is still going on at this time, time does not allow George to think too much, he faces Kuzma's defense, quickly breaks through with the ball and then makes an emergency stop to shoot a jumper.

Kuzma's defense is very good, so George's mid-range shot also failed to hit.

In the next few rounds, facing Wang Feng, Durant never had a good chance to attack, so he could only let George and Irving lead the attack.

But the offensive efficiency of these two obviously cannot be compared with Wang Feng.

The advantage he had finally achieved in one wave was quickly being eroded.

Soon, halftime was over.

The Nets, which were already close to leading by double digits, were not only not leading, they were actually behind by 2 points during the halftime break.

The scores of the Lakers and Nets were 68:66.

On the court, the Nets fans at home looked a little confused.

How did this happen?

Durant obviously played strongly in the first half of the second quarter, scoring 7 points in 16 minutes, helping the Nets to establish a close to double-digit advantage.

However, as Wang Feng switched defenses, the situation took a turn for the worse. In the next few minutes, Durant only scored 2 points with free throws. On the contrary, the Lakers, led by Wang Feng, continued to score and finally completed the overtake.

Although Durant scored 28 points efficiently at the end of the half, anyone with a discerning eye knows that 28 of Durant's 26 points were scored by Ingram's defense. Facing Wang Feng, he only scored 2 points. Minute!
