NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 363 Defeating the Nets and Saving Kobe

Why did Wang Feng's pick-and-roll awareness suddenly become so good?

Neither Allen nor George could hinder him for too long, and because he couldn't move the pick-and-roll, he could only watch Wang Feng quickly go around them.

This is definitely not good news, whether it is for the Nets who are playing today, or for other teams in the league!

How strong will Wang Feng be on the defensive end if he is not afraid of pick-and-roll screens?Durant felt it fully late in the second quarter.

……

In the second half, the situation began to take a turn for the worse. Although Durant was able to force shots to score under Wang Feng's defense, his efficiency value was seriously affected compared to the first half.

On the other side, Irving was always under the pressure of Butler, and the first few attempts to attack were unsuccessful. At this time, Irving was already feeling cold, and even the lethality of breaking through the frame with the ball was very limited.

The only stable scoring point for the entire Nets in the third quarter was Paul George.

第三节比赛，乔治6投3中，罚球4中4，独得11分，而杜兰特在第三节比赛7投2中只有6分入账，欧文5投1中仅得到3分。

On the other hand, for the Lakers, Butler and Ingram scored 8 points each, and Wang Feng also scored 10 points. The three of them alone scored 26 points.

The Lakers scored 35 points in the third quarter, and the Nets only scored 29 points. The difference between the two teams began to gradually widen.

In the fourth quarter, the Nets, who were unwilling to lose at home, tried to counterattack. Durant was responsible for containing Wang Feng, and George and Irving teamed up to continuously hit the basket and score, trying to close the score.

However, whenever the point difference between the two teams tends to be caught up, someone from the Lakers will always stand up and score to stabilize the situation.

Wang Feng, Butler, and even Ingram all scored.

The offensive firepower of the Nets determines that their scoring will never be bad, but they can't stop the enemy from scoring by themselves. No matter how strong the offensive firepower is, it doesn't make sense.

As time passed, the Nets were still unable to catch up with the score, and they couldn't help becoming more and more anxious, and their offensive methods began to become unreasonable.

Irving forcibly attacked the frame and wanted to create a foul, but was rejected by Howard with a big cap. The Lakers grabbed a defensive rebound and went straight to the fast break. Finally, Wang Feng received a dunk and scored to end the offense.

Durant made a mid-range fadeaway jumper and forced a shot against Wang Feng, but the basketball missed the basket.

The Lakers continued to attack under the protection of defensive rebounds. Ingram ran without the ball, used the cover of his teammates to smoothly cut to the basket, and received a pass from Wang Feng for a layup.

There was no sound in the auditorium outside the arena.

In the final fourth quarter of the game, instead of narrowing the point difference, it began to gradually widen.

This situation disappointed the fans of the Nets.

The Nets are currently the most promising favorites to win the championship. Judging from the lineup alone, they are much more luxurious than the Lakers. Moreover, the two teams have played against each other after nearly half of the regular season. After more than 40 regular season games, it is far from the newly formed team at the beginning of the new season.

But the Nets are still going to lose, and it's at their home court.

Is Wang Feng really that strong?Even if Durant, George and Irving are bundled together, they can't match?
Although Butler and Ingram's level is very good, they are still taken for granted at this time. In fact, the main reason is that Wang Feng's performance is too dazzling.

Before the end of the fourth quarter, Wang Feng's personal data has reached 30+10+10, getting a triple-double ahead of schedule, and completely dominating the game on both offense and defense.

Since Wang Feng started single-handedly defending Durant, Durant's shooting percentage has always been limited to less than 40%. Although he can continue to score, he is significantly inferior to his explosive performance in the first half.

……

Finally, the game came to the last 2 minutes, and the suspense was really over.

Regardless of whether the team is in the lead or behind, as long as it enters the final 2-minute countdown, the key shooter badge will be automatically activated, improving Wang Feng's various abilities.

Already unstoppable on the offensive end, and his ability value has been directly raised to a rather terrifying level, how could the Nets still have a chance?

In the last 2 minutes, Wang Feng hit all 3 shots and scored 7 points, directly killing the last suspense of the game.

127: 113.

The Lakers won the focus game with a 14-point advantage at the home court of the Nets, and successfully dealt a blow to the vigorous Nets.

Wang Feng scored 39 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. The triple-double was also the key to the Lakers' victory.

In addition to Wang Feng, Jimmy Butler scored 16 points on 9 of 23 shots.

英格拉姆17投8中得到19分，库兹马9投6中得到15分。

In addition, Lopez and Howard both scored in double figures and played well.

On the other hand, although Durant finally scored a game-high 42 points, he scored 28 points efficiently in the first half. Durant actually only scored 14 points in the two quarters of the second half.

Wang Feng's restrictive effect on Durant's offensive end is really good.

保罗.乔治这场比赛发挥同样不错，18投9中，三分6中4，以50%的命中率砍下28分。

Kuzma can only put so much defensive pressure on George on the defensive end.

Kyrie Irving is the only player among the Big Three of the Nets who is stretching his hips. There is no way. The one who defended him throughout the game is Jimmy Butler, who ranks second in the perimeter defense of the Lakers.

And while Butler is mainly defending Irving's outside shots, there are also Wang Feng, Howard and others to help defend against Irving's breakthrough layup.

As a point guard, Irving's scoring ability is already restricted by certain height conditions, so it is naturally easier to target than the two front strikers.

Therefore, Irving, who took 12 shots in the game, only hit 4 goals, and barely scored in double figures by scoring free throws. His score was not as high as that of Kuzma on the Lakers.

It is worth mentioning that Dinwiddie played well in this game, scoring 8 points on 5 of 13 shots. He is the only player of the Nets who scored in double figures except for the Big Three.

As a time traveler, Wang Feng is well aware of Dinwiddie's strength.

The 19-20 season can be regarded as Dinwiddie's brightest season. In another time and space, due to Durant's Achilles tendon rupture in the finals, he was reimbursed for the entire 19-20 season. The Nets only had Irving A star player leads the team.

In this case, Dinwiddie has risen strongly, playing 19 minutes per game for the Nets throughout the 20-31 season, contributing 20.6 points and 6.8 assists.

This season is not so much that Irving led the Nets to the playoffs, it is better to say that the biggest hero is Dinwiddie.

Irving, who only played 20 games for the Nets due to injury, did not contribute as much to the team as Dinwiddie.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents. Dinwiddie suffered a serious cruciate ligament tear in the subsequent 20-21 season and was reimbursed for the season. Although he recovered from the injury and returned, he has not returned to his peak state after the serious injury.

Now Dinwiddie, because of the butterfly effect, is surrounded by a lot of star players.

Irving without injury, Achilles tendon intact, healthy Durant, and Paul George.

Among this group of top stars, Dinwiddie can't get too many shots at all. So far, he has averaged only 13.7 points per game, which is not as high as last season's 16.8 points.

It is also because of this that the Nets did not find that there is a good immediate combat power in the team.

……

"It turns out that it's not just a group of stars that come together to create a top team."

The result of this game was beyond the expectations of many media commentators, and it also made them see certain facts clearly.

"The Nets can be regarded as a super team in the league in recent years, second only to the Warriors in depth, but there is still a big difference between them and the Warriors."

"With Curry, Durant, Thompson and Green, the Warriors have an unprecedented lineup and a very scientific and reasonable tactical system. With Curry as the core, the three top shooters can stretch the space on the court to the extreme. , making it easier to score each other, achieving the effect that 1+1 is greater than 2."

"But the Nets are obviously different. Because they have been winning the previous games, everyone has not noticed that the victory of the Nets relies on the individual ability of the stars. To put it bluntly, it is the Nets. He has so much offensive firepower that he can rely on talent and personal ability to win easily against most teams in the league."

"But once you encounter a strong team like the Lakers, it is obviously not enough to rely on the individual performance of the stars. We can see that in this game, whether it is Durant, George or Irving, they are all in trouble. In endless isolations, the offensive efficiency is low."

"On the other hand, the Lakers' tactical system is much more scientific and reasonable around Wang Feng who changed to point guard. Although there are players like Butler and Ingram in the team, in fact the Lakers have always been players. A team led by Wang Feng's single core."

It's always been like this in the alliance's media.

The winner is the king and the loser is Kou.

The winning side is entitled to all kinds of flattery, while the losing team is all wrong.

Like before, there were still many voices in the league who questioned the Lakers' dependence on Wang Feng. Now it feels like James was in the Cavaliers. This kind of dependence is not a good thing. The Lakers should make more plans around Butler and Ingram. Tactics to prevent Wang Feng from missing the game due to injury, or some other unexpected situations.

But now with the Lakers defeating the Nets in the away game, even this kind of voice has become much quieter.

If you rely on it, you can rely on it. As long as you can win, everything is correct. If you can make a team rely heavily on it, it proves that Wang Feng's personal strength is indeed strong.

……

On January 1, the Lakers lost 25:119 at home to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Lillard scored 48 points, but what really caused the Lakers to lose was the power forward Hassan Whiteside, who the Blazers traded from the Heat this season.

As a typical blue-collar insider, Whiteside was like a god possessed in this game. He made 14 of 13 shots and scored 30 points. The shooting percentage reached a terrifying 92.9%.

In addition, he also grabbed a full 17 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds, completely blowing up the inside of the Lakers. Even Howard couldn't stop the rampage.

With Lillard's 48 points, Whiteside's 30 points, and McCollum's 22 points, the Blazers scored 100 points with just three.

Therefore, even if Wang Feng scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists in this game, he was still unable to turn the tide.

Wang Feng didn't take the loss of this match to heart, he had more important things to do than the match.

In the early morning of January 1, Wang Feng made a call.

"My dear king, what's the matter?"

The phone was connected, and a voice full of laughter sounded, it was Kobe.

Wang Feng read out the speech he had prepared in advance.

"Hey, Kobe, I heard you're going to take Gianna to a kid's basketball game tomorrow?" Wang Feng said with a smile, "Seriously, I'm very interested in this, can you take me with you?"

"Okay, Jaina will be happy to know that."

Bryant readily agreed, even a little happy.

Wang Feng is now the hottest star of the Lakers. Not long ago, the results of the third round of the All-Star voting came out. Although James scrambled to catch up in the second half, Wang Feng still managed to hold on to the No. [-] vote and became the No. [-] vote in the Western Conference for the third consecutive year. He is also the player with the most votes in the East and West.

Several children in Kobe’s family like Wang Feng very much. It is definitely a good thing that he can attend Jaina’s basketball game, especially Wang Feng put aside the rare days of vacation and came to watch Jaina instead. This can be regarded as giving Kobe enough face.

After discussing the departure time, the two hung up the phone.

"In this case, there should be no problem..."

Wang Feng thought silently after hanging up the phone.

January 2020, 1, is a sad day for any Kobe Bryant fan.

On this day, Kobe Bryant's helicopter crashed unexpectedly, killing all 9 people in the plane.

What Wang Feng wants to do now is to change this history.

Of course, because of the parallel time and space, Wang Feng himself is not even sure whether the air crash will happen like another time and space, just like the epidemic that was supposed to break out in December did not make any movement until the end of January.

But compared to Wang Feng's powerless epidemic, Kobe's matter is at least something he can play, and it is very simple to operate.

Just now Wang Feng has said that he wants to attend Jaina's basketball game.

Kobe will definitely tell this news to his daughter and even other young players on the team.

With Wang Feng's influence in Los Angeles, these little guys must be his fans, Wang Feng is very welcome.

At that time, Wang Feng only needs to say that he has a phobia and dare not take a helicopter, and ask Kobe to travel by bus instead, and he can perfectly avoid possible disasters.
