NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 470
"To be honest, when I first played against Reggie Miller, I was still very excited. After all, this is the first NBA All-Star level opponent I have met. I am looking forward to playing against him. "

Wang Feng talked with a microphone. "But the actual result disappointed me. All-star guard? That's it? Although in this game, he finally scored 21 points, and his performance was quite satisfactory, but during the matchup with me, he didn't score even a single point. , Facing my defense, Miller couldn't score at all. If this level can be an All-Star, I think I can be an All-Star."

Wang Feng's series of remarks successfully silenced the audience.

No one expected that Wang Feng's team would be so 6, they just threw out an introduction, and Wang Feng followed immediately.

Many reporters' eyes lit up, and the notebooks in their hands frantically recorded Wang Feng's words just now, and at the same time, tonight's headlines were already in their minds.

Wang Feng: "Reggie Miller didn't score a single point in front of me!"

Wang Feng: "Is this considered an All-Star? Then I can also become an All-Star player."

Wang Feng: "I give myself a passing score of 60 and Miller 10, which is a serious failure."

Ewing on the side opened his mouth and stared blankly at Wang Feng, wondering if this guy is crazy?
He commented on Miller in this way, did he think about the consequences?Will Miller still fight with him when he sees him in the future?

Why does Wang Feng care about you?
Dissatisfied?If you don't accept it, you can come to the duel again. If you are convinced, just shut up.

What he has to do now is to use the fastest speed to gain popularity and become the main force of the team. Under this premise, as long as it does not involve matters of principle, he will not care.

What's more, Wang Feng himself doesn't like Miller very much, and he won't feel any psychological burden if he steps on Miller's position.

"Mr. Wang Feng, according to what you mean, you think Miller's strength is only this, far inferior to yours?"

A reporter continued to ask questions.

"Isn't that true? Didn't you watch today's game?" Wang Feng asked back.

A reporter from Indiana was a little upset.

"Miller is an All-Star player who has led his team to the playoffs for five consecutive years and can contribute 20+3+3 per game in his career. May I ask what honors you have won? What position do you assume in the Knicks? What qualifications do you have to judge The core player of a team?"

Wang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the other party. "Strength and accumulating honors are two different things. The reason I have nothing is because I have just joined the NBA. Give me enough time, and I will achieve far beyond his achievements."

Throughout the press conference, the reporters' questions basically focused on Wang Feng, while Ewing and Riley were almost completely ignored.

The results of the interview with Wang Feng made the reporters very satisfied. Wang Feng's answer was very straightforward, not as tactful as the famous star players like Ewing, and no one could offend him.

The well-rewarded reporters had already figured out how to write the news, and even reported on Wang Feng for three consecutive days without any problem.

But Ewing was a little worried.

"Wang, you really shouldn't have said that. You didn't leave any room for yourself. The reports of these reporters can really kill a person!"

After the press conference, Ewing couldn't help talking to Wang Feng.

Ewing welcomes this player with excellent ability, because he knows very well that with the current lineup of the Knicks alone, if they meet the Rockets again in the finals, it may be difficult to win.

The emergence of Wang Feng made Ewing see the hope of winning the championship. He was very happy to have Wang Feng enter the team's tactical system. Besides, Wang Feng, who mainly focuses on the perimeter, would not affect his tactical status in the Knicks too much.

Listening to Ewing's persuasion, Wang Feng just smiled and didn't say much.

He knew exactly what he wanted, and he wished that these reporters would make a big splash about what he said, even if it was more embellished.

Because Wang Feng himself has such strength.

At first, people may think that Wang Feng is just arrogant, but as Wang Feng continues to show his strength in the competition, all doubts will disappear.

……

On the second day, as expected, Wang Feng's various remarks at the press conference quickly became the hottest news in the league under the embellishment of media reporters.

"Huaguo players shined on the NBA court, came off the bench and scored 35 points, helping the Knicks defeat a strong enemy!"

"Is this the All-Star? I am so disappointed. If this level can be an All-Star, of course I can!"

"The most arrogant rookie in history, Wang Feng dismisses All-Star guard Miller!"

Overnight, Wang Feng almost became a household name in the league. After all, it was different from the last match against the Timberwolves' substitute rotation players. This time he was fighting against Reggie Miller. Not to mention that in the interview after the game, Wang Feng also There was a lot of cynicism when the strength was fully pulled.

But readers who read the news can't help but want to know, who is this Asian player who suddenly appeared on the Knicks team, and why is he so crazy?

And the fans who didn't watch the game also knew the fact that Wang Feng scored 35 points in the matchup with Miller and almost blocked Miller.

"Where did this guy come from? So strong!"

"Looking at his breakthrough speed, it's almost comparable to Grant Hill, right?"

"What's a breakthrough? Didn't you see the three-pointer he shot? As the league's top three-point shooter, Miller can't compare with him at all. What kind of shooting range is that? Even when the league didn't shorten the three-point line It’s not as far away from where he’s standing, is it?”

"There is also defense. Whether it is the defensive position or the offensive judgment of Miller, it is almost perfect. This perimeter defensive ability is completely comparable to top perimeter defensive players like Payton and Pippen!"

People talked a lot about Wang Feng, some thought Wang Feng was too arrogant and just a clown who wanted to get attention, some thought Wang Feng had the capital of arrogance and could guard Miller to that extent, even if he was a little crazy it was nothing question.

And the videotape of the game was sent to the office of league president David Stern as soon as it was over.

Stern, who didn't have time to watch the live broadcast of the game due to work reasons, watched the video tape of the game as soon as he found time.

A long silence followed.

Seeing Wang Feng, who is as omnipotent as Jordan, on the field, Stern couldn't be more excited.

This is it!What he wants is such a radiant Chinese player!

With Wang Feng's level, he can definitely become an All-Star player. His performance in the NBA will greatly promote the promotion of the NBA in China!

At this moment, Stern has made up his mind.

"We must vigorously promote Wang Feng, the first Chinese player in the NBA, at all costs!"

That is to say, at almost the same time period, the Huaguo Sports Daily finally published the first edition of the report on Wang Feng.

The name of the headline is very simple and clear.

"The first pioneer of Huaguo basketball to land in the NBA! NBA professional player Wang Feng!"

It was still printed in black and white on the newspaper, showing Wang Feng wearing the No. 1 Knicks uniform, jumping high with his tomahawk and snapping buckles during the game.

The Huaguo Sports Daily used a full page to introduce Wang Feng, including Wang Feng growing up in the United States, born without father and mother, growing up with twists and turns but striving for self-improvement, his inspirational dream of entering the NBA, and his reluctance to become an American citizen. The heart of a child who wants to return to the embrace of the motherland.

Once the newspaper was published, it immediately caused quite a stir in the country.

Although during this period, people in Huaguo did not have a clear understanding of the professional basketball league, and the domestic CBA league has not yet been organized, but Stern's efforts over the years are still somewhat effective. Many sports-loving viewers are on CCTV Sports The channel has watched NBA game broadcasts, and has heard of Jordan's name more or less.

Moreover, in 94, the Huaguo men's basketball team made history and achieved No.8 good results in the World Championships, which also made Huaguo basketball more and more come into the vision of the people of Huaguo. The players who play in the NBA are very proud, and they have begun to pay attention to Wang Feng's name.

In this era of limited information dissemination, the only way for ordinary people to obtain outside information is through television and radio, and they didn't have to wait long. Only one day later, the CCTV sports channel exclusively reported the news that Wang Feng scored 35 points.

"This Wang Feng is really good. He actually scored 35 points."

Although most Huaguo fans are relatively ignorant of the NBA and basketball rules at this time, a simple comparison can still be made.

According to the situation of various basketball games in the past, a player who can score more than 30 points in a game is a very good player.

Wang Feng can score 35 points in the NBA, of course he is very strong.

"I don't know who is stronger between Hu Weidong and this Wang Feng?"

This question was asked by more than one person.

Because many people have not realized that there is a dimensional difference between the NBA and Huaguo basketball at this time.

Of course, this does not include the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team and the Basketball Association.

Having played against the US team more than once, they are well aware of the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

After the game against the Pacers, Director Zhang immediately called the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team to report the situation, and suggested that Wang Feng must be included in the men's basketball team's roster. With Wang Feng, the Huaguo Men's Basketball team will definitely have a qualitative improvement. leap.

Director Zhang's suggestion immediately received the attention of the Basketball Association.

It's not just because of Wang Feng's strength, the Basketball Association also has their ideas.

Letting Wang Feng join the Huaguo men's basketball team will not only improve the overall strength of the Huaguo men's basketball team, but Wang Feng's presence will also allow Huaguo to build a bridge with the NBA, which can help the Huaguo Basketball Association send more young players to the NBA to train and grow.

However, due to the limitations of the times, the Huaguo men's basketball team in this period has various elements that are easy to say and 404. It is not as simple as adding players, so it will not take a day or two to implement this matter. things.

As far as the United States on the other side of the ocean, the Knicks have already started the journey of the next game.

On January 1, the Knicks challenged the Milwaukee Bucks away.

This is not a close contest.

Although the Bucks have Glenn Robinson, the new No. 21.9 pick, and Robinson, nicknamed the Big Dog, performed perfectly in his rookie season, averaging 6.4 points, 2.5 points and [-] assists per game, but the overall strength of the team is still inferior to that of the Knicks many.

But there is one thing worth mentioning in this game, that is, Wang Feng started the game.

从1月8日与森林狼的比赛中首次登场，到1月13日的首次首发，王峰仅仅只用了2场比赛，5天的时间。

For an undrafted player, that speed is nothing short of miraculous.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is actually not surprising.

The Knicks already lacked qualified forward players, and Charles Oakley, who mainly plays inside, has always been the team's starting small forward.

Wang Feng scored 21 points in his first show and 35 points in his second game. While his scoring ability is outstanding, his defense is also remarkable.

As long as Riley is not blind, he knows that Wang Feng is more suitable for the team's starting small forward position than Oakley.

What's more, what Wang Feng said before facing the media did indeed put some pressure on Riley.

Wang Feng played so well, and at the same time said that if he had more playing time, he would perform better. In this case, if Riley doesn't give Wang Feng a chance and the Knicks lose the game, the scapegoat will be deducted again. over Riley's head.

Therefore, Wang Feng, who started the game for the first time, directly faced Glenn Robinson.

This matchup is very interesting, because although Wang Feng did not participate in the draft, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a rookie in 94.

Therefore, as the No. 94 pick in 94, Glenn Robinson stood far above all the rookies in [-], and compared with players like Wang Feng who did not participate in the draft, it was like a gap.

This can also be seen from the salary.

Wang Feng earned an annual salary of 145 million in the Knicks by beating Oakley's perfect performance, but Glenn Robinson's rookie contract with the Bucks signed a first-year annual salary as high as 290 million.

But when the two faced each other, the result was surprising.

The dignified No. [-] pick, Lang Glenn Robinson, had no power to resist when facing Wang Feng, and was completely blown away by Wang Feng unilaterally.

The audience only made 17 of 5 shots and scored 13 points. The shooting percentage was less than 30%, and the turnover was as high as 7 times.

On the other hand, Wang Feng played 28 minutes, not a lot of time, but he made 14 of 8 shots, including 6 of 4 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

The two judged against each other, and the difference in strength showed that Wang Feng was more like the No. [-] pick than Glenn Robinson.

After the game, at the press conference, Glenn Robinson was helpless to speak out in the face of making things difficult for reporters.

"Why do you say that guy is in the same period as me? Can't you see his age? He is at least 5 years older than me, which is also called the same period? On the field, he behaved more calmly than me , and his skills are more proficient, I am convinced when I lose to him."
