NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 432 First in the Alliance!The knight wants to go to heaven?

If it is said that the Cavaliers, who have won three consecutive victories, have encountered opponents that are not strong teams in the East, and it is understandable to win, then on November 11, the Cavaliers played against the Milwaukee Bucks at home and won 3:122. Many people who were waiting to watch the excitement were surprised.

The Cavaliers VS Bucks can be regarded as one of the focus matchups in the Eastern Conference. Wang Feng is also the sufferer of Antetokounmpo. In recent years, Antetokounmpo has played at a dominant level, but he has not been able to win a regular season MVP. The reason is precisely because of his rise The time coincides with Wang Feng, but his data is obviously not as good as Wang Feng.

Even last season, Antetokounmpo had the best chance of being selected as the MVP of the regular season. In the end, Antetokounmpo fell short and lost to Wang Feng by an extremely narrow gap, achieving the opponent's unprecedented four consecutive regular season MVPs.

Wang Feng is the goal that Antetokounmpo is chasing and surpassing. When Wang Feng was still in the Lakers, the gap between the two teams' lineups made Antetokounmpo beat Wang Feng completely extravagant.

But it is different now. The Cavaliers' lineup is not the same as that of the Lakers, which has given Antetokounmpo and his fans great expectations.

However, the first match between the two teams gave them a blow.

This Cavaliers team is not as weak as imagined, and even gives them a bit of a ruthless feeling.

Accurate three-point long-range shooting ability, fast-paced offensive and defensive conversion ability, although the overall defensive quality and frame-protecting rebounding ability are slightly weaker, but compared with the attack power obtained by sacrificing these things, it seems no big deal.

As the Cavaliers replaced Jarrett Allen on the bench, the team's ability to protect the frame inside immediately rose sharply, which proved that the Cavaliers' inside line is not completely bad, but they just made some sacrifices for the offensive end.

More importantly, Antetokounmpo pulled again in the matchup with Wang Feng.

两人整场比赛全程对位，面对王峰的防守，字母哥最终只交出一份15投5中，14分10篮板7助攻4失误的不及格答卷。

Also in the league for seven seasons, Antetokounmpo's strength has been continuously improved and strengthened, and he has become stronger and stronger, but his previous weaknesses have not been perfected. His mid- and long-range shots are extremely unstable, and his offense can only rely on breakthroughs with the ball. Inside offense around the basket.

If you are simply singled out at the basket, Wang Feng, who lacks an inside defensive badge, cannot guard Antetokounmpo, but basketball is never a one-on-one game. Whenever Antetokounmpo comes to the basket, he has to face not only Wang Feng, and Jarrett Allen's supplementary defense.

Although Jarrett Allen is slightly shorter than Antetokounmpo at 2 meters, his wingspan is not inferior to the opponent. Moreover, he is assisting Wang Feng in defense, not one-on-one with Antetokounmpo, so it is not difficult to restrict Antetokounmpo.

But when the scene was reversed and Antetokounmpo defended Wang Feng, the effect was not very good.

The tall and long-armed Antetokounmpo can prevent Wang Feng's outside shots, but he can't prevent his breakthrough with the ball.

Wang Feng frequently used the first step master to forcibly tear apart the Bucks' defense, and after attracting the opponent's help to double-team, he passed the ball to an open teammate on the outside.

With the blessing of the organization core and the two badges of ten cents, the players who are in the open state have a ridiculously high shooting rate!

Before halftime was over, Wang Feng's assists were already in double figures. How can the Bucks play this?
The final result was that the Cavaliers defeated the Bucks. Wang Feng scored a large triple-double with 31 points, 14 rebounds and 18 assists, while Antetokounmpo only had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and was suppressed in all aspects.

Judging from the scoring situation of other players of the two teams, it seems that the Bucks' lineup advantage is not obvious.

The highest scorer on the Bucks side was Khris Middleton, who made 14 of 9 shots and scored 21 points and 8 rebounds.

George Hill scored 19 points, Pat Connaughton 14 points, Eric Bledsoe 14 points, John Wall, one of the Big Three, was unable to play due to injury.

It is worth mentioning that in the new season, the Bucks have strengthened another general, and that is the Lakers' championship feat, starting center Brook Lopez.

Four years ago, Wang Feng asked the Lakers to keep Lopez with a four-year contract, which prevented him from joining the Bucks. Played out his worth.

Lopez, who is now 33 years old, has successfully attracted many teams to compete for him after his contract expires.

In the end, the Bucks offered Lopez $4 million in four years and successfully acquired this big inside center with three-point shooting ability.

In this game against the Cavaliers, Lopez made 9 of 5 shots, 7 of 3 three-pointers, scored 16 points and 5 rebounds, fully worthy of his tens of millions of annual salary.

This is why the Bucks still rank third in the strength list without Wall, one of the Big Three, in the new season.

But the battle with the Cavaliers has made many people seriously doubt the true strength of the Bucks.

"Wang Feng scoring 30 points plus a triple-double is a routine operation. There is nothing surprising. How can the Bucks, who are good at defense, let the six Cavaliers score in double figures?"

On the Cavaliers side, apart from Wang Feng, the best performer was Kevin Love who scored 24 points. He felt pretty good today. Wang Feng passed the function attached to the purple Hall of Fame-level organization core badge-seeing the potential shots of his teammates The ability to be efficient has been detected in advance, so feeding Love can be said to spare no effort.

Love, who has rejuvenated the second spring of his career, made 10 of 5 shots from the three-point line, which is scary!

More than that, Love also grabbed 13 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds.

The data of 24 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists surprised the Cavaliers fans.

Could it be that Love has finally returned to his peak after experiencing constant injuries in the past few seasons?

Love, who was born in 88, is the same age as Lopez. At the age of 34, he should also be at the end of the peak of his career.

But last season's Love felt more like his career was over.

No one expected that with Wang Feng's arrival, Le Fu would start to get nervous too!

After four regular season games, Love, as the team's starting center, averaged only about 28 minutes per game, although he averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 41%.

Of course, people don't know that Love will serve as a substitute for the Cavaliers this season and perform brilliantly. He has maintained a very good state. Now that Wang Feng is a big killer outside the three-point line to attract defensive firepower, the pressure on the offensive end is greatly reduced. There is also an organizational core to increase personal ability value. In this case, if you can't play to a certain level, then it really can't be justified.

……

At the end of the four regular seasons, the record of the Eastern Conference presents a very strange situation.

The Cavaliers won all 4 games and ranked first in the Eastern Conference, while the Nets, 76ers, Bucks and other giants all ranked second with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, which is surprising.

"Is Wang Feng really that strong? Can even a bottom-of-the-garbage team like the Cavaliers be brought up?"

On November 11th, the Cavaliers played away against the Boston Celtics and finally ushered in their first loss of the season. They lost 5:113, missed the opening five-game winning streak, and their record became 119 wins and 4 loss.

The defeat of the Cavaliers made the Eastern powerhouses breathe a sigh of relief. If a team with such a lineup is always on top of them, it really seems that they are too useless.

However, the Celtics' victory was not due to their outstanding physical strength, but the Cavaliers tested the lineup. Facing the defensive Celtics, they replaced the second starting lineup suggested by Wang Feng.

Jarrett Allen's second set of lineups is much better defensively than Poole's first set as a point guard, but lacks a stable three-point long-range shooting point, even if Garrett Allen can compete with Wang Feng With pick-and-roll cooperation, the team's offensive end was still affected.

The second lineup is only suitable for facing teams with stronger inside strength, such as the Philadelphia 76ers with Embiid and the New Orleans Pelicans with thick eyebrow Davis.

When all the teams in the East were secretly relieved by the loss of the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers quietly started the winning streak in the next game.

From November 11th to November 8th, the Cavaliers have five games, three away games and two home games against the Washington Wizards, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and Portland Trail Blazers.

In the five games, the Cavaliers received all orders and won five consecutive victories. The regular season record directly came to 9 wins and 1 loss!The record is far ahead, not only in the East, but even in the entire league is the undisputed top.

The entire alliance was dumbfounded, what the hell is this?Is it possible that the Cavaliers are still preparing to compete for the first record in the regular season?
After 10 games, Wang Feng's average data began to stabilize at 34.8 points, 13.2 rebounds and 13.4 assists per game, with an average triple-double.

Compared with last season, it is slightly inferior, but it still dominates the league.

What is surprising is that the Cavaliers have a group of players who are not favored by people.

Kevin Love, who is in the second spring of his career, averaged 17.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, shooting 45% from the field and 40% from the three-point range.

Jordan Poole continued his stable performance last season, currently averaging 14 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is 38%.

Desmond Bain, who was traded from the Grizzlies, averaged 15 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, shooting 44% from three.

The main scoring point on the bench, Seth Curry averaged 11 points per game, and made 48.5% of his three-pointers. He frequently cooperated with Wang Feng in pick-and-rolls, ran and cut into the basket to receive Wang Feng's pass and dunk, and he flew up like a cake. Jarrett Allen is currently averaging 12 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

In addition to the above six players who scored in double figures, one of the Cavaliers' starting forwards, Otto Porter Jr., defender Gary Payton II, and three-point shooters Malik Monk and Max. Struth also has impressive performances.

Several players signed by the Cavaliers throughout the summer actually performed brilliantly, and slapped many basketball commentators in the face who swore that the Cavaliers lineup was rubbish.

What made Wang Fenghei even more uncomfortable was that, in this way, their favorite excuse before could not be said.

No matter whether Wang Feng won the championship with the Warriors, Cavaliers or Lakers before, some people always say that Wang Feng only won the championship with a strong team lineup.

The Warriors have Curry, the Cavaliers have James, and the Lakers have Butler and Ingram.

But the current Cavaliers don't need this excuse at all. It can't be said that Wang Feng hugged Love's thigh who is currently averaging 17+8 per game, right?Or that Wang Feng hugged the thighs of all the role players of the Cavaliers?

From the perspective of anyone who eats melons, the reason why the players of the Cavaliers can perform so well is all thanks to Wang Feng. Without Wang Feng's maximum offensive firepower, pass assists connect the whole team , the other players of the Cavaliers got the chance to score easily.

Wang Feng's ability to lead the team has been confirmed again after the Lakers' four-year triple crown and four regular season MVPs. It is definitely the only one in the league!

What disappointed the Huaguo fans was that Zhou Qi didn't get much playing time in these ten games. Only when the game completely lost its suspense and entered the garbage time, could he get a little playing time. It doesn't seem to be any different from when he was in the Rockets.

But this is the reality. Zhou Qi did not cheat after all, and it is impossible to show the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA all at once.

It is already a very good result for Zhou Qi to be able to stay in the NBA and receive the most advanced and scientific training in the NBA to continue to grow.

……

Before I knew it, the entire month of November passed in the blink of an eye.

In the second half of November, the Cavaliers began to face more difficult games. The team began to encounter strong opponents such as the Philadelphia 11ers and New Orleans Pelicans. At the same time, because the average age of the team was relatively young and they did not cooperate well with each other, they lost some Should have won the game against an underdog.

As of November 11th, the Cleveland Cavaliers had played 30 games in the regular season, with a record of 20 wins and 16 losses, and a winning percentage of 4%. Although they lost a few games, their winning percentage still ranked first in the league.

All the strong teams in the league last season had more or less problems.

The Nets lost Jarrett Allen, the inside defensive pillar, and their inside defense ability declined.

The Bucks Wall will miss most of the regular season due to injury, and the Big Three have degenerated into the Big Two. Although Brook Lopez has reinforced them, the overall strength is still weaker than last season.

The Clippers are even worse. The team tried to trade Westbrook away from the team this summer, but if Westbrook, who has become negative equity, does not catch the first-round pick, no team is willing to take over.

In the end, after going around for a summer, the Clippers could only grit their teeth and keep Westbrook, hoping that Westbrook can make some adjustments in the new season and restore some of the strength of his peak period.

Not to mention the Los Angeles Lakers, Wang Feng's departure is definitely a heavy blow to this team that has just created a dynasty. There are plenty of future draft picks, and the future looks promising.

But now, the combination of Butler + Ingram + Kuzma + Garland and Sexton doesn't seem to be much competitive in the West. It is natural to rely on a deep lineup to ensure a place in the playoffs. problem, but it may be difficult to continue to achieve the previous outstanding results in the playoffs.

The Golden State Warriors may be one of the few strong teams in the East and West whose overall strength has not declined significantly, but because of Wang Feng, the current lineup of the Warriors is also very different from that of another time and space. For no reason, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins is a two-member general. Although Thompson was a blessing in disguise and did not suffer major injuries that affected his career, the combination of the Splash Brothers and Green's Big Three can only be regarded as a strong one.

The remaining teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, Utah Jazz, etc., although the lineup has not changed significantly from last season, their strength has not improved significantly.

The rather chaotic season format is also one of the reasons why the Cavaliers were able to secure the first place in the league's record in the first month of the season.

11月结束，王峰以场均35.2分14.1篮板13.5助攻2.2抢断1.1封盖的超全能数据，毫无争议的当选11月东部月最佳球员，并且在MVP榜上遥遥领先其他一众球员。

With this situation, many media couldn't help sighing that the era belonging to Wang Feng has really arrived!

While the entire alliance was overwhelmingly praising Wang Feng, there were different voices.

"Wang Feng is not as exaggerated as you said. He is very good, but the Cavaliers' record is due to many factors. The Cavaliers themselves have faced very few strong opponents. The schedule has not passed, and relying on a relatively smooth schedule to get a good record does not explain any problems."

"If the Cavaliers meet my team, it will definitely not be so easy to win, and the probability of losing will be greater, because we are stronger!"

Facing the media, it was Kyrie Irving, one of the Big Three of the Brooklyn Nets and known as the No. [-] point guard of the Brooklyn Nets, who said this sentence.

Obviously, Ou Shenxian came to make trouble again.

Because the mask incident didn't happen in this time and space, Ou Shenxian didn't make a crazy decision that made him unable to play, but he still did a lot of things in the past two years, after all, it was due to his personality.

Di Ping said that since Martin Luther King Jr., who missed the regular season games due to personal reasons for no reason, he has not fallen behind in these operations that normal people cannot do.

Thanks to the strength of the other two giants of the Nets, Durant and George joined forces to stabilize the Nets' record, and although Irving has a strange brain circuit, he still has skills on the court, otherwise the Nets management would have been unable to bear it. Owen brushed it off.

As for why Irving publicly belittled Wang Feng and the Cavaliers in front of the media, it was naturally because of his personal grievances with Wang Feng.

I have to admit that after several years in the league, Wang Feng has made countless enemies. Many players are very unhappy with Wang Feng. After all, he has taken away too many honors, including Irving.

At that time, Irving was the second head of the Cavaliers and the second man under James, but with the arrival of Wang Feng, everything changed. Wang Feng not only took away the ball that belonged to him, but also teamed up with James in the finals. Make efforts to defeat the five-star warriors.

Now whenever people mention the Cavaliers' 17-year championship, they will say that it is the credit of James and Wang Feng, completely ignoring Irving's contribution.

In this time and space, Irving did not stage the classic scene of making a three-pointer against Curry at the last minute.

Whenever I see this kind of comment, Irving will feel very upset.
