NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 398 All-star, three-point ability value 99!

The NBA All-Star Weekend in 2021 will be held on February 2021, 2, at the home court of the Atlanta Hawks.

As before, Wang Feng still signed up for all the individual events, but even he didn't expect that this time he would return home in a rare way.

Wang Feng played steadily in the preliminaries of the Skills Challenge, but he made a small mistake in the finals, which directly caused him to be a few tenths of a second slower than Domantas Sabonis of the Pacers, and unfortunately only won the runner-up.

If Wang Feng still had a runner-up in the Skills Challenge, the dunk contest was even worse. In the first round of preliminaries, he was eliminated with the lowest score among the four players.

The only way to save face is the three-point contest.

Wang Feng, who has 98 three-point ability points and multiple shooting badges, is still as stable as an old dog in this event, crushing all other players to easily defend the title, and achieved 6 consecutive championships in the three-point contest.

With Wang Feng's sixth three-single championship trophy, his three-point shooting ability has officially reached 99, becoming the first attribute to reach the full value of 99 among all shooting ability values.

It is a pity that the joy of reaching 99 three-pointers did not last long. Then in the All-Star Game on the second day, the Wang Feng team led by Wang Feng lost to the Durant team 156:167.

Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo scored 38 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists, and was elected as the regular season MVP of this All-Star Game.

Wang Feng's team lost the game, not because his teammates didn't want to let Wang Feng continue to snatch the MVP of the regular season, but because the state of the Eastern Conference is indeed better than that of the Western Conference, especially Wang Feng, the state of the All-Stars this time Also average, with Antetokounmpo and others defending in turn, his performance can only be described as mediocre, with 32 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, and a triple-double.

Wang Feng's all-star performance was not good, and the sunspots immediately got excited.

"Hehe, why don't you stop being embarrassing? Didn't the previous All-Stars show that you are good?, occupying the ball and shots, and now the retribution has come? This time the All-Stars only won a three-pointer, shameful Did you lose too much?"

But in fact, more fans showed understanding of Wang Feng's situation.

Since the beginning of the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers have played nearly 60 games. In these 60 games, Wang Feng averaged an astonishing 44 minutes per game, and his scoring average remained at 42 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. At the same time, there are 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end, Wang Feng shoulders heavy responsibilities. To put it bluntly, without Wang Feng, the Lakers would not be able to maintain the current third record in the Western Conference.

Anyone can feel tired after such a high-intensity and long-term game.

Wang Feng is not a robot, he still belongs to the human category. Even if the body is digitized due to the system, and there are various badges to provide bonuses, it will also accumulate fatigue points.

Both the Skills Challenge and the Slam Dunk Contest were lost because he put too much energy into the game, which resulted in no time to prepare for the All-Star Weekend, did not conceive and prepare the dunk action in advance, and did not specifically contact the Skills Challenge contest items.

Including the All-Star Game, when the team was lagging behind, Wang Feng thought about trying to catch up with the point difference, but with Durant's strong defense, there was no good opportunity.

Wang Feng is also aware of this, so he is not disappointed about it. Compared with the season evaluation rewards related to the regular season record, the rewards of the All-Star Weekend are just trivial, and they can be given up selectively.

It is worth mentioning that after winning the sixth three-point contest trophy in his career, Wang Feng said in an interview that he would no longer participate in the three-point contest because the three-point contest was no longer challenging for him. And the audience is already fatigued.

As long as Wang Feng participates, there is no suspense for the championship. How many people would be willing to pay attention to and watch such a competition?
Of course, this set of invincible loneliness theory is just an excuse for external coercion. The real reason is that Wang Feng's three-point ability value has reached 99, and he cannot continue to improve.

At the moment when his three-point ability value reached 99, even the system gave a reminder that there would be no more task rewards for winning the three-point contest in the future.

Since there were no rewards, Wang Feng never did thankless things, so naturally there was no need to continue participating in the three-point contest.

……

At the end of the All-Star Game, he only gained 1 point three-point ability value in the end, which also made Wang Feng realize that he couldn't continue to play like this.

The average playing time of nearly 45 minutes per game is really not something people do. Too much consumption in the regular season may even affect the state of the playoffs.

Wang Feng can ignore the All-Stars, but he must pay attention to the playoffs.

More than three months have passed, and Butler, who had a successful operation, is recovering well and is expected to come back early, but even so, Butler will have to play in the second round of the Western Conference at the earliest, and if the second round is a 4:0 sweep Under the circumstances, it may not be possible to play.

Therefore, Wang Feng must at least drag the Lakers into the second round, and the second round of the series will take about six games.

The intensity of the playoffs is a completely different concept from the regular season, so Wang Feng must also start preparing for the playoffs.

After the All-Star Game, Wang Feng's playing time began to decrease significantly, from an average of 44 minutes per game to about 38 minutes per game. The possession rate of the ball and the number of shots also decreased accordingly. The data was significantly lower than before the All-Star Game.

Corresponding to this is the decline in the Lakers' record, losing to the Trail Blazers, the Eagles and other games that should not be lost.

With the end of the February schedule, the record of the Lakers was tied by the fourth-ranked Denver Nuggets. In March, the Nuggets took a deep breath and played a wave of five consecutive victories, officially completing the victory over the Lakers. Go-ahead, throwing the Lakers to the fourth position in the West.

Wang Feng's average data dropped to 40.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.9 assists per game, and his performance was significantly worse than before the All-Star weekend.

During the period when the Nuggets caught up and overtook the record, Wang Feng averaged only about 35 points per game. Although it is not appropriate to describe 35 points as only, it is indeed the case for Wang Feng.

However, due to the decrease in the number of shots taken by Wang Feng, the numbers of Ingram, Kuzma and others who have increased the number of shots have increased slightly, especially Jordan Poole, who is now more and more adapted to the Lakers' tactical system, and With the help of Wang Feng's ten-cent badge, the average scoring has gradually increased to 13.8 points, which has great potential.

……

The decline of the Lakers' record and the decline of Wang Feng's personal data have become the focus of media discussion for a certain period of time.

However, the Lakers did not hide anything from the outside world, and explained the reason very straightforwardly. Wang Feng's data decline is to prepare for the playoffs to reserve physical fitness. The current record of the Lakers has ensured a stable entry into the playoffs. After playing the next dozen or so games, they can still maintain their advantage in the first half of the division.

Under such circumstances, continuing to let Wang Feng average 45 minutes per game, crazily cutting down such high data, accumulating fatigue points, and breeding injury incentives is something that a fool head coach will do.

Butler's reimbursement for the regular season is already the most typical lesson learned. If the Lakers lose even Wang Feng, they don't need to play this season.

In the subsequent games, Wang Feng not only reduced his playing time, but even took turns to avoid games in some games, including the away game against the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors currently rank second in the West, second only to the Utah Jazz.

But they are not the first imaginary enemy of the Lakers.

Not surprisingly, at the end of the regular season, the Lakers will enter the playoffs with the fourth record in the Western Conference. At that time, their opponent in the first round will be the New Orleans Pelicans, who are ranked fifth in the Western Conference.

As soon as Paul makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Obviously, in another time and space, Paul definitely takes the most credit for the unexpected record of the Suns and Thunder.

This can be seen from the record of the Pelicans.

Although it is only ranked No.5 in the West, the ranking in the West is a battle between dragons and tigers. Let's see what teams are under the Pelicans.

The top three configuration, the record has gradually picked up recently, and it is very difficult to climb to the No.6 Los Angeles Clippers in the West.

The Lone Ranger led by the duo of Luka Doncic and Porzingis.

There is also the Portland Trail Blazers with two guns in the backcourt of [-] million.

Being able to stabilize his record at fifth in the Western Conference in the face of strong enemies gathers, it can be seen that Paul is not in vain.

Of course, the existence of Paul is only to ensure that a team goes offline. Chris Paul, who is often boasted as the number one point guard in history, has also been criticized in many cases, and even formed several famous stalks.

58 Luo, floor man, these nicknames are the black spots in Paul's career leading the team.

If it weren't for joining the Rockets and hugging Harden's thigh, Paul might not have touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals so far.

If the Pelicans want to perform better in the playoffs, it still depends on the performance of the other two core players, Anthony Davis and Zion Williams.

Brother Nongmei's data this season is very stable and efficient. So far, he has averaged 26.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. He is the backbone of the team's offensive and defensive ends.

And Zion Williams, who had high hopes, did not disappoint.

This season, Fat Tiger, who is in a healthy state, has shown extremely terrifying lethality at the basket.

Although limited by the disadvantage of height, Zion will always be blocked under the basket, and has already won the nickname of the essence of human being capped, but the impact of 130 kilograms is really great under the basket. With its super strong Strength and bounce make Zion as destructive as O'Neal at the basket.

So far, Zion has averaged 27.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage is as high as 61%, and almost all of his shots are distributed under the basket. He is only 1 meters tall, but his style of play is better than mid-to-long-range shooting. Brother Nongmei is more like an insider.

Of course, only Wang Feng knows that Zion is fierce, but his heavy body puts too much burden on his ankles, and Zion himself has a glass body, so it's hard to say whether he can take on the heavy responsibility in the playoffs.

If at the end of the regular season, the Lakers and the Pelicans are really facing off in the first round, then with the strength of the Pelicans, in Wang Feng's view, there is nothing to fear.
