NBA: Top 3D talents to start

"Is that him?"

Riley looked at Wang Feng with scrutiny.

From the outside, it looks passable, at least it looks quite strong.

But basketball is not something that can be played with just a body.

Riley did not have any verbal communication with Wang Feng, or in other words, Wang Feng is not qualified enough.

Teams in the league may produce a large number of players with ten-day short-term contracts every day, but more than 99% of them will leave the team quietly after ten days, and very few can stay.

As the head coach, Riley has a lot of work, and he will not devote too much time and experience to Wang Feng.

Including now that he came to the training hall to see Wang Feng, it was just incidental.

"Pat Riley was very imposing when he was young..."

While Riley was looking at Wang Feng, Wang Feng also looked at Riley and thought silently in his heart.

The Riley he met had already served as the general manager of the Heat. He was already in his 70s at the time, and he was getting old. Germany forced him to leave, but at least he didn't look as sharp as he was when he was young.

From 1994 to 95, Riley was just 50 years old, at the age when a head coach's career was flourishing.

It's just that Pat Riley Wang Feng is also not too cold.

As a head coach, Riley was too strong.

Unfortunately, Wang Feng is also a player with a relatively strong personality. At least in his opinion, the compatibility between himself and Riley may not be particularly good.

I don't know if Riley will choose to leave the team to coach the Miami Heat after coaching this season, as in the original history.

Although Jeff Van Gundy, who replaced Riley, was a bit worse than Riley in terms of coaching, he was considered one of the league's top coaches. More importantly, Van Gundy's temper was much better than Riley's.

……

The team's daily training officially began after Riley came to the training hall.

The Knicks players are all in place, including the team boss, the famous gorilla Patrick Ewing, a total of 14 people.

If Wang Feng is included, then there are 15 people.

Under the arrangement of the assistant coaches, the players were divided into several groups to conduct daily training in different project links.

There are physical training for turning back and running, some for shooting training, and there are also training for pick-and-roll, screen pass and cut cooperation on the court.

Wang Feng, a rookie who has just arrived, was assigned to the pick-and-roll training group, and he was still in charge of defense and the role of the pick-and-roll.

The main point guard of the team, John Starks, is standing in front of this strange guy holding the ball. Wang Feng's yellow complexion is really eye-catching on the training ground. Starks, who has at least 6 years of professional career, has never The NBA has seen Asian faces.

Inside, the 2-meter-08 power forward Charles Smith pulled out and screened Starks for the pick-and-roll.

Starks hit the ground and switched hands, following the direction of Smith's pick-and-roll screen to the basket.

"This guy didn't seem to have a good chat with Charles (Oakley) just now, but what the hell, he's leaving the team in a few days anyway."

With this in mind, Starks was about to end the attack with a throw. ....
But in the next second, his expression was slightly startled.

Because a figure was already in front of him, it was the Asian player.

Starks: "???"

The throwing action has been formed, and it is too late for him to take back the basketball. The basketball is thrown out of his hand, and Wang Feng hugged him down after the shot.

"what happened?"

The assistant coach on the side was stunned, and then couldn't help but look at Charles Smith who was picking and rolling. "Be serious, the head coach is watching, don't you even block the pick-and-roll well?"

Smith looked innocent.

I blocked it, and I think I blocked it pretty well.

But Wang Feng's speed of bypassing the pick-and-roll just now was indeed very fast. Anyone's first reaction was that the quality of the pick-and-roll was not good enough, which made him bypass it so easily.

Do it all over again, this time Charles.
Smith learns a lot from a fall, and is extra serious when picking and rolling.

Not to mention him, Starks also subconsciously accelerated his breakthrough by two points.

however……

Seeing Wang Feng who broke through Road Jin appearing in front of him at the right time, Starks was a little confused.

"What the hell is this?"

"Such nimble steps?"

"This kid has something!"

This time the assistant coach on the sidelines and other players in the same group could see it clearly.

Smith's pick-and-roll has no problems, it is absolutely qualified, and Starks' roll is also very fast. The problem lies with Wang Feng. This allowed him to regain his defensive position before Starks broke through to the basket.

This is a good seed who is very good at defending pick-and-rolls!

Of course they don't know about pick-and-roll dodger badges, and even at this time, the development of NBA2K is still thinking about it.

The official first NBA2K series game was officially released in November 1999, five years away from now.

Moreover, the published 2K is no different from the mosaic game, and the experience of playing is definitely not good, and it is firmly overwhelmed by EA's NBAlive.

Wang Feng's pick-and-roll dodger badge is the top purple Hall of Fame level, which makes Wang Feng have amazing awareness and agility around pick-and-rolls when facing defensive pick-and-rolls.

Not to mention that as an inside player, he is not very qualified. Charles Smith, who weighs only 104 kilograms, can hardly block Wang Feng effectively even if he is a larger heavy center.

Wang Feng, who wants to hold a pick-and-roll dodger badge at the basket, must at least have a double pick-and-roll cover.

"Very good angle, your defensive ability is very good."

Although the assistant coach didn't know these things, Wang Feng's performance successfully won his approval.

"Hey, what are you doing? Can't you understand even the pick-and-roll?"

Oakley, who saw this scene not far away, was a little upset.

Both Oakley and Smith are called Charles, but their personalities and playing styles are completely different. Oakley is shorter than Smith, but his confrontation ability is far superior to Smith. As a blue-collar player, he is also good at pick-and-roll screens.

While speaking, Oakley had already walked over, pushed Smith away and said.

"I come!"….
Charles Smith's status in the team is actually not low. As a rookie with the third pick in the first round in 88, Smith was also trained as a core player in the Clippers.

In the two seasons of 89-90 and 90-91, Smith could contribute 20+8 data per game, and even now, he is the third scorer in the Knicks team, second only to Ewing and Stark. That's all.

But even he didn't want to provoke the villain Oakley, and he could tell that Oakley was targeting Wang Feng and not him, so he stepped aside without saying anything.

"Find it so soon?"

Wang Feng looked at Oakley and thought to himself. "The stepping stones just stay where they are and wait for others to step on them, and I have to jump a few times..."

Starks glanced at the assistant coach.

They all knew what Oakley was thinking. In his opinion, Oakley was a bit too much.

Although Wang Feng looks a bit arrogant, but he is new here, and if you provoke him as soon as you come up, any player with a little bit of enthusiasm will not be outdone and go back.

However, the assistant coach didn't notice this. He was not on the court before, and he didn't see the conflict between Wang Feng and Oakley. At this time, he also thought that Oakley was dissatisfied with Smith's pick-and-roll cover and wanted to do some demonstrations.

So he nodded and said to several people on the field: "Do it again."

Several people returned to their positions, Starks held the ball from the outside, and Oakley pulled out from the inside to screen for him.

Arriving in front of Wang Feng, Oakley put his hands in front of him, the muscles in his arms were all tensed up, and it looked like he had put in enough strength, maybe he would be dark when the two collided.

Medium force.

Then the excuse of the pick-and-roll, hitting the opponent's defensive player with black hands, is a compulsory course for the blue-collar insiders in the 90s.

Because the NBA rules in the 90s are very different from those in the future, the intensity of whistleblowing is different, and the concept of rules for defensive fouls and cylinder violations has also changed slightly.

The more typical one is Handk's rule.

To put it simply, when facing a player with the ball, the defensive player can put his hand on the offensive player.

I believe that many children's shoes who play basketball have more or less encountered some defenses that like to put their hands up, and give you a dirty ratio of choking your throat when you break through with the ball. This kind of defense is now Proper defensive foul, once called once.

Although the league in the 90s hadn't reached the exaggerated level of choking the throat and not calling fouls at all, the existence of this rule made the inside line completely like a meat grinder, and outside players with little ability would never even think about killing the inside line. Create damage.

This is why defenders of this era prefer to end with long two-pointers from mid-to-long distances.

Many fans in the future always feel that the shooting rate of the previous stars is so bad. The shooting rate of more than 40% is very high. It is completely incomparable with the guards who will shoot more than 50% in the future. This kind of comparison must be compared with the times. Factors such as background and rules must also be taken into consideration.

Handk is just a microcosm of iron-blooded defense in this era, and similar vicious defenses abound. Just like Oakley now, Wang Feng can see the opponent's intention at a glance. ....
This guy wants to use his strength to knock himself to the ground at the moment the pick-and-roll is formed.

Wang Feng has even thought out the other party's follow-up lines.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

But... Wang Feng would not give him this chance.

At the moment when the two were about to meet, Wang Feng suddenly disguised himself and almost wiped Oakley away.

Oakley, who had gathered all his strength, was flashed, his feet were unsteady, and he couldn't help but staggered and took a step forward.

At the same time, Wang Feng had avoided Oakley's pick-and-roll and stopped in front of Starks again.

"..."

This time, everyone was shocked.

Wang Feng's ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is a bit weird.

In the Knicks team, Oakley has the most frequent pick-and-rolls and the highest quality.

Although Ewing has a larger physique than Oakley, as the core of the team's inside offense, he does not cover many pick-and-rolls for his teammates.

Wang Feng can easily bypass Oakley's pick-and-roll, an ability that few people in the league can do.

"What... what?"

Oakley looked back at Wang Feng in astonishment, his eyes wide open.

He hasn't realized yet, how did Wang Feng bypass him just now, isn't this kid too slippery?So fast!

"Again!"

Oakley's voice was a bit loud, and the players who were training in several other areas around him cast their sights over.

"Whatever, as long as you want, I will accompany you at any time." Wang Feng said lightly.

The assistant coach frowned, no matter how slow he was, he realized something was wrong.

He was about to make a sound to stop, but before he could make a sound, a hand stretched out from one side and interrupted him.

The assistant coach turned his head and saw the head coach Pat Riley with an interesting expression on his face.

The three got back into position, and Oakley stepped forward for the pick-and-roll again.

This time, Oakley, who was already angry, was not polite at all, and used all the dirty work on the field. Not only did his lower half of his body use the opportunity to press on Wang Feng, but one leg even blocked Wang Feng's only way. , if Wang Feng is too obsessed with the speed and efficiency of the pick-and-roll, he will definitely be tripped directly.

These actions can be whistled for cover fouls even in the NBA, but not all fouls in the NBA can be whistled, let alone whistles in daily training.

"Hey, rookie, let's see what you do this time!"

Oakley sneered inwardly.

In his prediction, as long as the two of them had physical contact, Wang Feng would definitely be unilaterally suppressed by virtue of his powerful strength.

However, still thinking like this in his heart, Oakley suddenly felt a huge force coming towards him, his foot was unstable, and he subconsciously adjusted his footing before standing still.

Oakley's idea is correct. Facing a player who is good at defending against pick-and-rolls, using physical strength to put pressure on the opponent can entangle the opponent very well, so that he cannot immediately bypass the pick-and-roll screen.

But the question is, is Wang Feng weak?Not weak at all!

Restricted by his weight, Wang Feng's strength can only be strengthened to 88, but the strength of 88 is already at the top level in the league.

As a blue-collar insider, Oakley is of course stronger than Wang Feng. Oakley at the peak of the Bulls should have more than 95 strength, which is why he can gain a foothold in the inside with a height of only 2 meters.

But even so, it is impossible for Oakley's strength to completely crush Wang Feng, let alone block Wang Feng's pick-and-roll route with his legs open. It is not easy to exert force, and Wang Feng still has the moment of speed and bounce blessing. Explosive power, one ebbs and another, Wang Feng wins in the power competition is a matter of course.

This scene was seen by everyone who paid attention to the contest between the two on the field.

Pat Riley narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The strength of this kid...".
