NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 370 Wrestling with Zion

"Wang Feng won the All-Star MVP for the fourth consecutive year, and won the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest, once again becoming the biggest winner of the All-Star Weekend."

"An unprecedented superstar, does Wang Feng have a chance to surpass the status of Jordan and James?"

"Wang Feng took a lot of shots and caused dissatisfaction among some All-Star players, and the conflict intensified?"

In the spirit of watching the excitement, after the end of the All-Star Weekend, the major media reported it wildly, and intentionally directed public opinion to the conflict between Wang Feng and many stars because of the All-Star MVP issue.

Of course, no one admits this kind of thing. No matter how upset they were in the interview after the game, James, Brother Big Eyebrow, Brother Antetokounmpo and other stars who tried to pull Wang Feng down all smiled and warmly congratulated Wang Feng for the fourth time. Crowned All-Star MVP.

"After so many years, it's the first time I've seen a player like Wang Feng. He is talented, brilliant, hard-working and serious. I can see Kobe's shadow in him. Only they have the desire to win forever. Only with perseverance and perseverance can such achievements be achieved.”

James laughed.

Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo said: "I belong to the same period as Wang Feng. When I was a rookie, he had already won championship trophies that many players could never achieve in their lifetime. Since then , he is the goal of my hard work and struggle. I am very honored to be able to play against him on the All-Star stage. If possible, I hope to meet Wang Feng again on the stage of the finals and truly decide the winner."

As for the thick-browed brother Anthony Davis, he was still a little bit nervous, and did not accept the interview with a dark face.

Compared with James and Antetokounmpo, Davis is undoubtedly the worst one. He scored 44 points and failed to win the MVP. In the game, he was robbed of several rebounds by Wang Feng, losing all face.

The relationship between Wang Feng and Davis is now settled, but Wang Feng doesn't care too much.

Brother Nongmei is a very strong player, but his peak period also stopped in the 19-20 season.

After this season, Anthony Davis' attributes of a glass man and his not-so-strong self-discipline and desire to win will make his competitive state continue to decline.

Perhaps because he did not partner with James in the 19-20 season and win the championship like in another time and space, Davis will work hard to improve his strength, but in Wang Feng's case, the thick-browed Davis has never been the best leader. He is not an aid target, and considering the expensive price to be paid to switch to him, offend him.

Moreover, Wang Feng will not only offend the thick-browed brother Davis, but soon he will also offend Davis's other champion, Zion Williams, nicknamed Fat Tiger.

全明星周末之后，湖人队在2月21日主场迎来孟菲斯灰熊的挑战，117：105轻松取胜，随后2月23日主场114:112，2分险胜波士顿凯尔特人。

The Lakers, who have won two consecutive victories, will usher in their first away game on February 2, which is the matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Wang Feng can be regarded as a relatively narrow-minded and vengeful person, but he still remembers the rhetoric of the local media in New Orleans when he defeated the Pelicans in an away game last time.

What's so cool about Wang Feng?When Zion Williams returns from injury, nothing will happen to him. Although Zion is just a first-year rookie, with his historical level of physical fitness, he has no problem suppressing Wang Feng.

He actually knew that the reason why local reporters in New Orleans said this was because they wanted to appease Davis.

Playing for the Pelicans for eight seasons, Anthony Davis has become the league's most famous slasher group leader. With luxurious personal data, he has never been able to improve the team's record.

Under the leadership of Davis, the Pelicans have only played in the playoffs twice. One was swept in the first round and the other was stopped in the second round.

Over time, even the most honest and loyal players will inevitably have other thoughts.

In fact, Davis already wanted to leave last season, but the Pelicans did not get a satisfactory offer after shopping around in the free market. For this reason, the Pelicans management had to work hard to appease Davis. , and use the newly selected No. [-] pick Zion Williams as an excuse.

The combination of the two champions will definitely increase the strength of the Pelicans. At that time, the Pelicans will sign another star player to form a Big Three configuration, and the team has every chance of winning the championship.

But no one expected that Zion was injured without even playing a regular season, and he finally recovered from his injury until the end of January.

There is one thing to say, Zion played quite well in the few games he played after his comeback, averaging 24.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 60%.

As a rookie player who just joined the league, such scoring efficiency is quite impressive, especially with a weight of 129 kilograms, the impact is terrifying, unstoppable at the basket, and there is a faint feeling of a small O'Neal.

The management of the Pelicans is overjoyed. It is indeed a talented player who claims to have the top physical talent in history. It is entirely conceivable that after a few more seasons in the league, what kind of terrifying existence Zion Williams will grow into.

Wang Feng could actually tell them the answer.

After a few years, they will get a fat tiger weighing more than 135 kilograms...

But since he can't reveal the secret of his time traveler, and no one will believe it even if he tells it, Wang Feng is not going to make any comments on Zion's weight. He plans to use practical actions to tell Pelican that you are really Think too much.

……

The duel between Wang Feng and Zion Williams has naturally become the focus of the league's recent attention.

One is currently the hottest top superstar in the league. He has won two regular season MVPs in a row, led his team to the championship, was crowned FMVP, and monopolized all awards during the All-Star Weekend that just ended.

The other is that before joining the league, it has been touted as the future ruler of the league. Nike even offered a 7-year $7500 million sneaker contract early, which shows its optimism about its strength.

Many fans are very curious about what kind of sparks these two players will have when they meet in the game.

The vast majority of fans generally believe that Zion Williams at this stage is definitely not as good as Wang Feng, who is at the peak of his rise, but he will definitely not be much worse, at least relying on his weight comparable to a heavy center forward , Wang Feng couldn't stand the inside line at all.

In the face of the Lakers, who are currently in full swing and continue to lead the record list, the Pelicans can hardly match even if they have two champions, Big Eyebrows and Fat Tiger.

Pelicans starting lineup: Jrue Holiday, E'Twaun Moore, Zion Williams, Anthony Davis and Jahlil Okafor.

I have to say that the quality of this lineup is really not high. Except for Nongmei Panghu and Zhu Holiday, the other two are standard role players.

On the bench of the Pelicans, there are no players who can support the scene. The weakness of the lineup has caused the Pelicans to have a winning percentage of less than 10%, ranking around No. [-] in the West. It is difficult to enter the season without accidents. playoffs.

On the other hand, the Lakers still have the starting lineup of Wang Feng, Butler, Ingram, Kuzma and Lopez. The book lineup is obviously much stronger. This is not a match of equal strength at all.

At the beginning of the game, the Pelicans won the ball, and Wang Feng, who was the point guard, naturally stood in front of Zion Williams.

This scene was seen by the head coach of the Pelicans, and his heart suddenly jumped.

Wang Feng and Zion are not at the same level of players, as the head coach, he knows this well.

Although the management of the Pelicans wants to quickly shape Zion, and hopes that Zion can achieve good data in the confrontation with Wang Feng, James, Antetokounmpo and other top strikers, and show his personal strength, but he feels , This kind of excessive expectation is not a good thing for Zion.

But he thought it didn't work.

When seeing Wang Feng and Zion face off, the fans at home of the Pelicans became excited first.

"Come on! Zion! Teach Wang Feng a lesson!"

"Give him some color and let him know who this alliance belongs to in the future."

Amidst the cheers, Zhu Holiday saw Zion reaching out for the ball.

Although he is a first-year rookie, Zion's status in the Pelicans is second only to the thick-browed brother Davis, which feels like James came to the Cavaliers back then.

Even after seven seasons with the Pelicans, Zhu Holiday, who is the main point guard of the team, can only obediently pass the basketball to Zion.

Seeing Zion catching the ball and staring at him with a serious expression, Wang Feng raised his eyebrows in a little surprise.

Is this guy really going to fight him?

This is too exaggerated by the alliance, do you even believe it yourself?

Zion held the ball, waited for all the teammates under the basket to withdraw to open up space, and then directly forced a breakthrough with the ball covered his head. There was no disguise or dribbling skills. It was simple and clear. your attitude.

This move worked quite well in previous games.

Zion, who plays the small forward position in the Pelicans lineup, meets mostly agile small forwards. With a weight of 129 kilograms and strong strength, Zion can be as unreasonable as a tank. Roll into the paint to score.

This is why he can average 24.4 points per game and shoot 60% from the field. This is a version of Xiao Zhan with enhanced weight and weakened skills.

But unfortunately, this time he met Wang Feng.

Looking at Zion who was rushing straight towards him, Wang Feng didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding it, and he directly raised his chest to meet him.

The bodies of the two collided instantly and were shocked at the same time.

"What a powerful force..." Wang Feng couldn't help but took a step back, his chest was aching from the impact, but compared to him, Zion looked shocked.

Wang Feng's power is so strong?

The moment he bumped into Wang Feng just now, Zion felt as if he hit a wall, his feet were unstable and he almost made a dribble error, and the speed he hadn't picked up stopped abruptly.

In the direct confrontation of strength between the two, it was obvious that Zion was superior. Wang Feng was knocked back a step, but he just stopped, his figure remained motionless.

But just stopping Zion is already quite an exaggeration, and the centers of many teams can't even do it!
Dazed for a moment, Zion reacted immediately, there was nothing he could do if he had already stopped, he turned his body halfway, leaning against Wang Feng with his back, and forcibly arched towards the inside line, while Wang Feng continued to meet him not to be outdone.

The players who saw the moment when the two muscles collided at close range on the field were a little stunned. Boy, is this wrestling?

Zion struggled to get within a step or so of the free throw line. Due to the 5-second rule, he had to stop and face Wang Feng again. When he turned around, he tried his best to think Use the raised elbow to push Wang Feng aside to gain space for shooting.

But Wang Feng, who was stuck in his position, didn't give Zion any chance.

In desperation, Zion could only forcefully take off with Wang Feng on his shoulders, and barely threw the basketball towards the basket.

Such a reluctant shot under fierce physical confrontation is of course impossible to hit.

The basketball hit the rim, and Wang Feng, who turned and jumped, put it in his arms.

"What a fierce physical confrontation..."

Wang Feng was able to resist Zion, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Although the process seemed to be staggering rather reluctantly, he was able to defend it after all, and the opponent did not successfully squeeze into the paint during the whole process.

But Wang Feng was not surprised by this result.

Weight does not directly represent strength.

Although Zion Williams has a weight of 129 kilograms, which is more than 20 kilograms heavier than Wang Feng, but in terms of strength, the difference between the two is by no means as big as imagined.

Wang Feng's strength ability value is 88, which belongs to the first-class level in the league.

As far as Wang Feng knows, Zion Williams' power is probably around 2 in the 90K series of games, and the highest is definitely not higher than 95.

In fact, looking at history, there are only a few players who can exceed 95 in strength. At present, the well-known ones include O'Neill, Ben Wallace, Karl Malone and others, and Zion is definitely not among them.

Although Zion has a weight of 129 kilograms, which is heavier than Ben Wallace and Malone, he is definitely not as tall as these two in terms of strength.

Before Wang Feng crossed, he saw a video that was still fresh in his memory. It was the 36-year-old James defending Zion under the basket. They didn't move at all, but Zion staggered, and finally James cut the ball and missed the ball.

Although a single attack can't directly explain anything, it is enough to prove that even the old James is still not inferior to Zion in the confrontation of strength. The large tonnage weight does not mean that he is invincible in strength.

Wang Feng's 88 strength is naturally slightly weaker than that of James, but it is definitely not at a level that can be used by Zion at will.
