NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Obviously, in the direct confrontation between the four major centers, Ewing lost again.

This is not surprising, is Ewing strong?Of course it is very strong. As a center player, Ewing's personal strength is definitely at the historical level.

However, both Shengyu and He Shengliang have three monster-like centers at the same time as him. Although Ewing and them are also known as the four major centers, and they are both the No. [-] pick in the NBA. In comparison, Ewing is still slightly inferior.

Especially Olajuwon and O'Neal, one beats Ewing in terms of skills, and the other has an advantage in body.

If someone checks the battles between the four major centers in detail, they will find that no matter who they are facing, Ewing cannot match the opponent in terms of wins and personal statistics.

In this game, with exactly the same number of shots as O'Neal, scoring 12 points less than the opponent is a vivid example.

O'Neal was 15 of 9 free throws and Ewing was 7 of 6.

……

Ewing and the Knicks lost, but Wang Feng did not lose.

In this game, he once again educated Jordan's successor Hardaway, who is in the limelight.

14投4中，命中率仅为28.6%的哈达威比赛中只得到13分2篮板4助攻，同时还有5次失误。

It's just that the Magic team turned out to be Cheng Yaojin, and the outside player Dennis Scott was full of hands. He scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 26 assists on 5 of 9 shots, which became the key factor for the Magic team to win.

Wang Feng's main job in this game is to beat Hardaway, and he scored 28 points and 10 rebounds symbolically.

He has never fought for anything, nor questioned the team's tactical arrangements and the decision to allocate the ball at the last moment, because Wang Feng knows very well that there are people who are more anxious than him, and this world has never lacked people who like to meddle in other people's affairs.

Sure enough, as the Knicks lost to the Magic, many sports media mercilessly publicly criticized Knicks coach Riley's poor tactical command in the game.

"We can find that the two games that the Knicks lost, whether it was the loss to the Rockets or the Magic, Patrick lost in the competition with the competitors in the same position, and lost to Hakeem ( Olajuwon), lost to Shaq (O'Neal)."

"Why can't Riley use his brain more at this time? The current Knicks are not just Ewing as a star. Wang Feng's scoring ability is not inferior to Ewing, and even his efficiency and scoring explosiveness are even better."

"If these two games were given to Wang Feng instead of Ewing at the last moment, it is very possible to win these two crucial games!"

The local media in New York unceremoniously criticized team coach Pat Riley for being worthless and outdated, and successfully mobilized the thoughts of a group of fans.

It's just that more fans have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

When you win, everything is fine, but when you lose, the coach or a certain player has committed a heinous crime.

The media always needs something to report in order to attract audiences and readers.

Of course, the team also understands this truth, so such criticism does not have a great impact on Riley's coaching.

……

It should have been.

But who let Wang Feng see similar reports? …

Although he himself is not prepared to express any opinion on this, there are many ways to add fuel to the fire.

Wang Feng, who has been in the alliance for a long time, knows this well.

On March 3, the Knicks played against the Chicago Bulls at home.

This is the Knicks' battle of revenge. Before the Christmas game, they lost to the Bulls without Jordan and allowed Pippen to score 36 points, which once made the Knicks ridiculed.

Now that the Knicks are strong and strong, it is natural to avenge this arrow.

It's just that no one expected that the process of the game would be so one-sided.

79:101, the Knicks beat the Bulls by 22 points at home and easily slaughtered their opponents.

In this game, the Knicks had the upper hand from the very beginning. The main core of the Bulls, Scottie Pippen, made 24 of 8 shots in the whole game, and his shooting percentage was only 33.3%. He scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and made as many as 8 turnovers. Second-rate!
This performance is completely different from that of the Christmas War.

There is only one reason why Pippen played so badly, and that is Wang Feng.

Throughout the game, Wang Feng marked Pippen all the way, and his super defensive ability made Pippen embarrassed on the offensive end.

Unlike Grant Hill, although Pippen is already a top star in the league, his scoring ability is not necessarily better than that of Hill, who is still a rookie. More importantly, he does not have the kind of Hill that even Wang Feng is difficult to respond to. The ultra-fast first step breakthrough speed, the offense is more focused on shooting.

Coincidentally, Wang Feng is best at defending the shooting type of players.

The purple Hall of Fame-level Defensive Deterrence Badge really isn't for looking good.

While the offensive end was completely contained, Pippen also competed with Wang Feng on the defensive end.

Pippen was one of the best perimeter defenders in the 90s. He was selected as the best first defense 8 times in his career and was selected as the second defense twice. In terms of contribution, Pippen is absolutely not inferior to Jordan.

But he still couldn't guard against Wang Feng.

At this stage, Wang Feng, who is "strong on offense and weak on defense", is already invincible in offense, not to mention Pippen, even if Jordan comes, it is impossible to stop him.

He has too many offensive methods. Those who can prevent me from shooting three-pointers can’t prevent me from breaking through with the ball. Those who can prevent me from breaking through with the ball can’t prevent me from pushing forward with force. Yes, then I can also teach you how to be a man with one-handed distance back jumper.

整场比赛下来，王峰15投13中，三分球7中6，罚球4中4砍下36分11篮板5抢断，直接给皮蓬打得有点怀疑人生。

At the post-match press conference, Pippen said this in the face of the reporters' long guns and short guns.

"Wang Feng is really strong. Even when I faced Michael when I was training in the team, I didn't feel such an almost suffocating pressure, because Michael's three-pointer is not that big of a threat. I just need to be careful. His drive and mid-range shots are just fine."

"But Wang Feng is different. When he holds the ball, I don't know how to deal with it. I am afraid that he will shoot a three-pointer, and I am also worried that he will break through with the ball. I feel that no matter how I position myself, I will give the opponent an opportunity. In fact is also like this."

"If I play against the Knicks next time, I will consider teaming up with my teammates to double-team Wang Feng and curb his scoring."

In the battle against the Bulls, Wang Feng's strong offensive and defensive dominance was fully demonstrated. The super terrifying and efficient scoring efficiency of scoring 15 points with only 36 shots also made Knicks fans realize that Wang Feng seems to be more powerful than Ewing. It's easier to use. …

Because of this game, Ewing made 27 shots again, hit 11 goals, scored 23 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, and his shooting percentage was 40.7%.

It is obvious that the center of the Bulls at this time is just a role player, Will Perdo, who has averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds in his career, but Ewing took nearly twice as many shots as Wang Feng and scored a poor 23 points .

Similar pictures continued to appear in the following games.

3月4日，尼克斯客场98:83战胜克利夫兰骑士，王峰17投11中，三分球12中7，罚球5中4，砍下33分14篮板4助攻。

而尤因20投9中，得到20分13篮板2封盖。

3月7日，尼克斯主场115:110战胜波士顿凯尔特人，王峰14投10中，三分球8中5，罚球3中3，砍下28分7篮板4抢断。

尤因22投10中，罚球7中5，砍下25分12篮板。

Although the Knicks have been winning, Wang Feng has always scored more points with fewer shots than Ewing, and his contribution to the team's victory is significantly higher than that of the team's core boss Ewing.

Such a situation has made more and more New York fans realize the importance of Wang Feng in the team. At the same time, there are more and more discussions about whether the team will become stronger by giving Wang Feng more possessions. more.

"Wang Feng is really strong! Even though he averages about the same number of shots per game as Starks, he can maintain an average of 28 points per game. Then look at Ewing, who averages nearly 20 shots per game and barely scores 25 points. A center Is his scoring efficiency not as good as outside shooters?"

This kind of comparison is not just a pure data comparison, but also related to appreciation.

Wang Feng's playing style is elegant and gorgeous, whether it is a three-pointer that is as precise as a guided missile from the outside, or a lightning-like breakthrough plus an exciting dunk.

On the other hand, Ewing, every attack is very ugly to catch the ball inside, and then either fight against the opponent's inside wrestling, or make ugly bunny jump shots.

Which of the two plays better, but anyone with eyes can tell the difference.

That's why the future of basketball is constantly changing directions like the perimeter and fast pace.

What Stern hopes to create is a highly entertaining commercial league. For this, he can constantly modify the NBA's game rules.

So now, the more Stern watches Wang Feng's game, the more he likes it. Wang Feng's game style hits his heart directly, even half a chip better than Jordan!
It is also because of this that when Wang Feng is on the field, even the whistle seems to be blowing more frequently than usual, but for any fouls against him that are slightly bigger, the referee will immediately blow the whistle without hesitation. The player was injured by Wang Feng, causing the league to lose this treasure.

Wang Feng, who is protected by Stern's father, has extremely high confrontation ability and endurance. Naturally, he gets twice the result with half the effort, and it also allows him to go further and further on the road of scoring more points with fewer shots.

This naturally made the Knicks coach Pat Riley bear great pressure.

The distribution of Wang Feng's ball rights and shooting rights is Riley's arrangement. He wants to renew his contract with Wang Feng more smoothly this summer through this method.

But now, not only is the criticism from the outside world getting louder, but even the official Stern of the league is hinting at the Knicks openly and secretly to increase Wang Feng's playing time and possession of the ball. …

Riley already understood at this time that it is basically impossible for the Knicks to keep Wang Feng this summer, unless they don't renew Ewing's contract, or they can persuade Ewing to give up the maximum salary contract, but this is even more important. impossible.

After some deliberation, Riley decided to compromise.

Since the goal cannot be achieved, there is no practical significance in continuing to suppress Wang Feng's playing time and number of shots, but it will make Wang Feng even more dissatisfied with the team.

If they can use Wang Feng's strength to win this year's championship, it will be considered a sure-fire deal.

Ever since, in the following games, Wang Feng's playing time began to gradually increase, and the average number of shots per game gradually equaled Ewing.

As a result, the Knicks once again won a wave of winning streak with an even more unrivaled momentum.

On March 3, they beat the Atlanta Hawks at 10:108.

On March 3, they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics at 11:96.

On March 3, they defeated the Nuggets at 14:94.

In the three games, Wang Feng averaged 35 minutes per game, took 20 shots, scored 34.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists, shot 64% from the field, and 47% from the three-point range. His efficiency is terribly high.

It is estimated that no one in the league would have thought that after Wang Feng's playing time and possession increased, he would become so strong!Even the number of assists began to rise in a straight line!
Purely from the perspective of field performance, Wang Feng's dominance is almost unmatched in the current league. Even O'Neal, who is the most popular this season and averages 29 11 3 per game, is inferior.

Without any suspense, Wang Feng directly beat O'Neal, Olajuwon, David Robinson and other competitors to be elected the best player of the week.

In 95, the league's best of the week and best of the month did not divide the East and West. Only one player could be selected each week, and the competitiveness and gold content were even higher.

Being elected as the best player of the week and playing extremely luxurious statistics, Wang Feng's reputation in the league has risen rapidly like a rocket, and he has become one of the top perimeter players in the league.

You must know that in the two years since Jordan retired, the league seemed to have completely become the world of inside players.

Last season, the top three players in scoring were David Robinson, Shaq O'Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon.

And this season, the players currently leading the scoring list are O'Neal, Olajuwon, Robinson, Karl Malone and Ewing.

The appearance of Wang Feng is like the light of an outside player. Although he could not appear on the scoring list due to insufficient number of appearances, since he appeared in the NBA in early January to now, in two months, Wang Feng has averaged close to 1+30 per game. The stats of 8 are definitely the best among perimeter players.

Originally, the enthusiasm brought about by Wang Feng's super performance should last for a long time.

But another big event diverted the attention of everyone in the entire alliance from the sudden emergence of Wang Feng.

As for this event, Wang Feng had long been mentally prepared, that is the return of the basketball god Jordan.

On March 1995, 3, Jordan issued a statement through his brokerage company, officially announcing his return to the NBA, and uttered that classic.

"I'm back (Imback)!"

Once this news was announced, the whole world was boiling!
