NBA: Top 3D talents to start

From the perspective of the overall lineup, the Lakers are obviously the better side.

This season, Jimmy Butler and Ingram were both selected as All-Stars. Although they lost Wang Feng and Lopez, the Lakers managed to keep Kuzma, and got Sexton, Garland and Evan Mobley, three high-drafted young rookies.

These three rookies of the Cavaliers are not ordinary. Sexton averaged 24.2 points, 3 rebounds and 4.4 assists in the Cavaliers last season, and Garland also had 17.4 points and 6.1 assists!As for Evan Mobley, he is a high-quality potential inside player who is favored by the public.

These three just filled the vacant positions of the Lakers, and they performed well in the regular season this season. Although the Lakers' main focus is on Butler and Ingram, the data has declined compared to last season. , Sexton only had 15.7 points and 3.7 assists, and Garland had 14.4 points and 7.4 assists, but no one thought that the strength of the two young guards had declined, and even their efficiency was higher than when they were in the Cavaliers .

It is worth mentioning that in another time and space, Sexton should have suffered a serious injury in the 21-22 season. However, due to the butterfly effect, Sexton, who ran from the Cavaliers to the Lakers, did not last. The core point of the ball offense, he was lucky to avoid serious injuries that would affect his career.

The overall lineup of the Lakers is very strong, but there are still many people who don't think they can successfully break through from the West.

Compared with the overall strength, the Lakers are indeed strong, but if compared to the quality of the stars, it is obvious which side is better to sit on the Clippers with James Leonard.

There is absolutely no comparison between Jimmy Butler Ingram and James Leonard.

In the 19th season of his career, LeBron James can still play an amazingly efficient performance.

Played 75 games in the regular season, averaging 26.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game. Although there is no other time and space averaging 30 points per game in the same period, James' Clippers have not encountered setbacks like another time and space.

This has to mention Leonard. Although because of Wang Feng, he lost a championship ring that he should have won with the Raptors, Leonard's career trajectory has also changed. In another time and space, there were constant minor injuries and illnesses, but the attendance rate was obviously much better.

The state of James in the 21-22 season has indeed declined, and the contribution of the defensive end to the team has plummeted. However, because of the existence of Leonard, the Clippers' defensive problems do not need James to bother, he can devote more energy Invest in offense and organization.

This is why the Clippers came to Westbrook like the Lakers in another time and space, but they were able to make it to the playoffs and made it to the Western Conference Finals.

After entering the playoffs, the Clippers decisively placed Westbrook on the bench and let James hold the ball.

The Warriors were miserable enough. Under the leadership of the Splash Brothers, they successfully ended the regular season with the No. 01 record in the Western Conference. But also because of Wang Feng, several strong players in the team were poached. The difference in time and space is more than 30:[-].

Without Poole, Otto Porter Jr., and Gary Payton II, it would be difficult for the Warriors to go too far in the playoffs just relying on the Splash Brothers and Green.

……

After the East-West final matchup was released, the best lineup for the 2021-22 season was announced before the start of the game.

The five players selected for the best team include Wang Feng, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Jason Tatum and Curry.

The five players in the second team are Doncic, DeRozan, Durant, James and Embiid.

Those selected for the third team include Trey Young, Jimmy Butler, thick eyebrow brother Davis, Leonard and Paul George.

With the announcement of the best team list, it was accompanied by voices of doubt and controversy.

This kind of thing happens every year, such as why Harden, Zion, Ingram, Towns and other stars were not selected for the best team.

After all, in the minds of the fans, their own star is the best one in the league.

Compared with the best team, blue-collar awards such as the best defensive team receive much less attention, but Wang Feng was still selected for the best defensive first team, and was selected for the best first team and first defense for N consecutive years.

It is worth mentioning that this year's Wang Feng is quite popular as the best defensive player.

In the previous few seasons, although Wang Feng was able to win the steals title every year, and gradually reached an average of more than 1 shot per game in terms of blocks, the contribution of the defensive end is visible to the naked eye, but in the selection of the best defensive player, he will always be given to Gobert, Antetokounmpo and others.

There is no way around this. Although he is not weaker than these big players in terms of defensive statistics, Wang Feng's height has become one of the factors that limit the judges' scoring.

For so many years, there are very few players in the league who are about 2 meters tall and can win the best defensive player award. The most recent one is Kawhi Leonard.

But this season, things are a little different.

The Cavaliers' lineup is weak to the naked eye, especially in terms of interior defense. Jarrett Allen, as a substitute rotation player, only plays more time under certain circumstances.

In most cases, in order to ensure the fluency of the Cavaliers' offense, the main inside player is Kevin Love, who has the ability to shoot three-pointers. In this case, the task of protecting the rim of the Cavaliers is carried by Wang Feng.

The average of 13.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game is the new high of Wang Feng's career. The reason why the Cavaliers can overcome obstacles all the way in the regular season is due to Wang Feng's contribution on the defensive end!
What's more, from the high-level data, it can be seen that when Wang Feng is on the court, the Cavaliers lose points per [-] rounds compared to when Wang Feng is not on the court, and this data Wang Feng is the best in the league, far ahead of Gobert , Antetokounmpo and other competitors.

Due to the combination of various factors, Wang Feng's call for the best defensive player is the biggest.

It's just that the best defensive player is also just a blue-collar award. No matter how much you win, it is not a key factor in judging a star's historical status, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

It's like Jordan won the best defensive player once in his career, but when people talk about Joe's leader, they will always talk about his six championships, five regular season MVPs and ten scoring titles.

Therefore, Wang Feng pays more attention to the regular season MVP.

The current Wang Feng has been the MVP of the regular season four times in a row, and since he came to the Cavaliers this year, he brought the Cavaliers, who were last in the Eastern Conference last season, directly to the number one position in the Eastern Conference. He has also been far ahead in the regular season MVP selection , Steadily suppressing Antetokounmpo, Curry, Doncic and other competitors.

Four consecutive regular season MVPs is already unprecedented in the history of the league. If Wang Feng continues to win the regular season MVP this season, five consecutive MVPs plus the buff that he can still win the regular season MVP after changing teams will further increase Wang Feng's historical status. !
And if Wang Feng can win the NBA championship this year... with 7 championship rings in hand, even if Wang Feng's FMVP number is not as high as Jordan, he is definitely qualified to pull the basketball god down from the altar!
As for whether Wang Feng can lead the team to win the championship, it depends on whether the Cavaliers can pass the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On May 5, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was played in Cleveland, home of the Cavaliers.

Before the game, everyone generally believed that this would be a close battle. After all, the Cavaliers and the Nets are recognized as the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.

But no one expected that as soon as the game started, the Cavaliers quickly took the initiative and quickly established a huge advantage.

The outside shooters who were inaccurate for the Cavaliers in the conference semifinals suddenly regained their touch when facing the Nets.

A large number of three-pointers made the Nets dizzy.

In the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 39:27. The Nets trailed by 12 points. In the second quarter, they lost another 6 points. At halftime, the difference was close to 20 points.

When the game entered the middle half of the third quarter, the point difference was directly opened to 20 points.

In the fourth quarter, both teams had replaced role players, and the game ended early.

Such a situation is unexpected by everyone, but it is reasonable.

The Nets are different from the Bucks. The former is a team that relies entirely on the Big Three. Although the Bucks are also equipped with the Big Three, the lineup revolves around Antetokounmpo and a number of role players, creating a very good defensive lineup system. .

To put it simply, in the absence of Wall, the Bucks may lose more and win less against the Nets, but if the two teams face the Cavaliers separately, it is obvious that the Bucks' lineup is more restrained against the Cavaliers .

The Nets have a very strong single-point scoring ability under the structure of the Big Three. Even the Bucks' defense can hardly stop Durant, Irving, and George from scoring in singles.

Of course, the offensive ability of the Cavaliers' outside shooters led by Poole and Bain is not as good as that of Irving George, so it is only natural that their shooting percentage will be affected.

But when Poole's opponent changed from Wesley Matthews, a well-known defensive player in the league, to Irving, the situation was different.

In terms of offensive ability, Owen can be said to have completely defeated Poole, but if it is switched to the defensive end... Irving's defensive ability is far worse.

Irving has always been one of the representatives of strong offense and weak defense in the league. His defensive efficiency ranks outside the league's top [-] all year round. He is definitely not a player with outstanding defensive ability.

Except for George and Durant, the Nets' defensive ability is not strong enough, at least compared to the Bucks' players in the same position, it is much worse.

This undoubtedly made the Cavaliers shooters who had previously had a fierce battle with the Bucks feel more relaxed. In addition, the game itself felt good, and Wang Feng's ten-cent badge increased his shooting rate.

Wang Feng didn't even put much effort into it. He casually scored 26 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, and the game was over for him.

This made Wang Feng a little surprised.

At 131:115, the Cavaliers won by 16 points at home and easily won the Eastern Conference Finals.

骑士队这边除了26分的王峰外，还有砍下21分的乔丹.普尔，得到17分11篮板的凯文.乐福，全场三分7中5，得到18分的贝恩以及11分的塞斯.库里.
The Cavaliers team scored in double figures with 7 players, making more points. They made 40 of 18 three-pointers, and their shooting percentage was as high as 45%.

Such a disastrous defeat, of course the Nets are very unconvinced.

At the post-match press conference, Irving directly stated that the reason why the game was lost was mainly because the Cavaliers shooters felt too hot. This situation is not uncommon in the NBA, even if it is the bottom team in the league. , There will also be situations where how to vote, but this feeling will not last forever, and they will win back in two days.

The head coach of the Nets, Nash, mentioned the Nets' defense.

"The players of the Cavaliers feel very good today, they are determined to shoot from the outside, and they are very confident, but this has something to do with our inability to exert more pressure on the defensive end. The Cavaliers are a very strong offensive team. I will emphasize the importance of defense in the next series and develop corresponding defensive tactics."

There is nothing wrong with these words, but it is too inconsistent to say them from Nash's mouth.

As a player, Nash was undoubtedly a top organization master. He could single-handedly make a team the strongest offensive ability in the league, bombard the team with a gorgeous and efficient style of play, but when it comes to defense... …

There were four major shooting guards in the league at that time, North Carolina, South Macy, and East Ai. At the same time, there were also four non-point guards, namely Mo Bu Pass, Ji Bu Offense, Na Bu Defense and Long Bu Shoot.

Although Irving's defense is bad, he can at least be at the middle and lower level of the league's point guards. After all, his excellent physical fitness makes him not far behind most defenders.

Nash is different. His defensive enthusiasm is no problem, but his thin body makes him defend any team's main point guard like a misplaced defense.

In addition, the Suns under D'Antoni's bombardment system did not pay attention to defense at all, so Nash's defense has long been synonymous with black holes.

After serving as the head coach of a team now, Nash actually emphasizes defense. Even if he said this in a serious way, it still makes people feel funny.

Under the guidance of Nash, the defense of the Nets has always been one of the problems that have been criticized. Before that, there was Jarrett Allen in the team who could check for omissions in the interior. With Jarrett Allen being poached After that, we can only rely on the single defense of the star's personal ability to support the team's overall defense.

On May 5, in the G17 series, the Nets did not have enough defense to constrain the Cavaliers' shooters.

Although it can be clearly seen that the Cavaliers shooters' touch has dropped compared to G1, they can still make open three-pointers after all. As for the points they missed, Wang Feng will just make up for it.
