NBA: Top 3D talents to start

G3比赛中，乔丹31投15中，全场砍下40分7篮板4助攻。

王峰这边则毫不示弱，出手26次命中14球，再次砍下39分10篮板11助攻三双。

The result of the duel between the two was the same as before. Jordan never completely beat Wang Feng in terms of scoring, and Wang Feng was able to assist his teammates while scoring offensively.

To put it simply, Wang Feng did all the work of Jordan and Pippen alone, and he did it very beautifully, or even better.

The Knicks were not weak at first, but now that there is another Wang Feng, how could Jordan and the Bulls, who had not recovered to their peak form, win?
On May 5th, the Bulls' second home game, the game was still won by the Knicks, and the score difference in today's game was still quite large. The Knicks beat the Bulls by 14 points 109:95.

The reason why the Bulls lost so badly is because the Knicks star, Gorilla Ewing finally bottomed out.

His performance in the first three games can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, even slightly worse than in the regular season.

Although the Knicks currently have the upper hand, Ewing is not particularly happy, and even a little depressed.

In the G4 game, Ewing's long-suppressed emotions were finally released.

Throughout the game, Ewing made 26 of 13 shots, 7 of 5 free throws, scored 31 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists. He completely dominated the inside and beat the Bulls center Kukoc.

While Ewing broke out, Wang Feng's performance did not decline. He made 19 of 11 shots and scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

公牛队那边乔丹26分9篮板7助攻，皮蓬24分12篮板6助攻，发挥虽然也都算不错，但显然没有办法与王峰和尤因相比较。

At the end of the game, the score between the two teams has reached 3:1. The Knicks won the match point, and they only need to win another game to send the Bulls home.

No one thought that after Jordan's comeback, the Bulls, who had become the favorites to win the championship, would face the dilemma of being eliminated in the second round.

Under desperation, Jordan broke out again.

5月16日，赛场回到尼克斯的主场纽约麦迪逊广场，乔丹在尼克斯全程针对性的防守下28投15中再砍39分4篮板2助攻。

But his struggle was in vain.

The Bulls still lost the game 97:103.

For the Knicks, Wang Feng scored 28 points, Ewing 24 points, and Starks 22 points. Scoring is not the key to the Knicks' victory. In this game, Wang Feng and Ewing had 14 and 16 rebounds respectively. For grabbing 8 offensive rebounds, Wang Feng also had 5 offensive rebounds. In addition, Oakley also grabbed 5 offensive rebounds.

The Knicks team grabbed a total of 22 offensive rebounds in this game, completely blowing up the Bulls' weak inside.

The famous center Takenori Akagi once said that whoever can control the rebounds can control the game.

Ewing, the prototype of Takenori Akagi, perfectly interpreted the gold content of this sentence in this game.

The total score was 4:1. At this point, the Knicks successfully eliminated the Bulls in the second round and reached the Eastern Conference finals. At the same time, it also announced that Jordan's first season of comeback ended in failure.

In this series, Jordan's personal statistics are extremely luxurious, averaging 5 points, 33 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in 3.8 games. What is unexpected is that Wang Feng's scoring average on the Knicks is almost the same as Jordan's. Averaged 32 points, 10.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists, not only scoring similar to Jordan, but also almost getting a triple-double per game. …

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Jordan stared at Wang Feng for a long time, then refused all reporters' interviews, and went straight to the player tunnel.

Jordan knew that Wang Feng would be the greatest threat on his way to winning the championship in the future. If he couldn't overcome this obstacle, his comeback would only be a joke.

……

"The Knicks eliminated the Bulls and advanced to the semifinals. Wang Feng averaged 30 triple-doubles per game. Jordan may encounter the strongest opponent in his career!"

"Wang Feng Ewing, the strongest inside and outside partner in Knicks history, what are their chances of winning this year?"

"Wang Feng's contract is about to expire this summer, and every team in the league is ready to move. Can the Knicks keep this super perimeter player who is comparable to Jordan?"

While various related reports were flying all over the sky, the league also announced the best team for the 1994-95 season as the second round came to an end.

The five players selected for the best team are guard John Stockton, Anfernee Hardaway, forward Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, and center David Robinson.

The best second team players are Gary Payton, Mitch Richmond, Charles Barklicha, Patrick Ewing and Shaquille O'Neal.

The five players selected for the best three teams are Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler, Wang Feng, Sean Kemp and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Jordan was unable to enter the selection of the best team due to the lack of games after his comeback this season.

The results of the best team selection seem a bit surprising, especially Hardaway, who averaged 20 points and 7 assists per game, was actually selected for the first team. On the contrary, O'Neal, the team leader, who averaged 29 points and 11 rebounds per game, came in second, which is quite speechless .

But if you think about it carefully, this is also impossible.

In the 90s, the inside competition was far stronger than the outside. O'Neal was not competing with Hardaway, but with the other three who were also the top four centers, Malone, Barkley and other top insiders.

Although his stats are the most luxurious in the interior, the record of the Magic is inferior to that of the Spurs. At the same time, David Robinson's average of 27.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game is not much worse than that of O'Neal.

With the addition of the team, it is reasonable for Robinson to beat O'Neal to be selected for a round.

As for Ewing, although the Knicks' record is the same as that of the Spurs, his personal data is slightly inferior to Robinson's.

More importantly, anyone who knows the Knicks knows how the Knicks' record tied with the Spurs for the first place in the league came about.

Wang Feng turned out to help the Knicks win a 26-game winning streak that shocked the league, and continued to maintain a super high winning percentage in the subsequent games. This made the record after the Christmas game only 12 wins and 12 losses, ranking No.7 in the Eastern Conference The Knicks skyrocketed all the way.

Wang Feng played 51 games in the regular season, averaging 28.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. This data is the most luxurious outside line in the league, not inferior to the four major centers.

But in the end he was only selected to the best third team.

Wang Feng was a little surprised by this, because in his mind, he might not have these honors this season.

Not only because of the number of games he played in the regular season, but more importantly, it is the 90s.

In this era when racial discrimination and political correctness are not valued as much in the future, Wang Feng's identity as an Asian puts him at a disadvantage in various award selections. After all, these awards are all voted by journalists from the United States and Canada. . …

Wang Feng was even prepared to receive nothing this season except for the championship award, but he didn't expect that there would be an award.

The Knicks, as the team with the best record in the league, can have two players selected to the best team at the same time, which is already a very good result.

But Ewing was not satisfied with the result.

He does not lack the best team. Even surrounded by Olajuwon and David Robinson, Ewing currently has six best teams and three best defensive teams.

A mere second team is insignificant to him, but this second team has sent him a bad message.

Robinson is rated higher in the media than him!
Ewing can not pay attention to the best team, but must pay attention to the regular season MVP.

The team's record this season is excellent, and it can be said that he has the best chance to win the regular season MVP, but if he is not as good as David Robinson, it is impossible for him to get the MVP.

Ewing was very unwilling, but Wang Feng knew very well that he should not worry about the MVP of the regular season.

Can be selected to the best second team, Ewing has hugged Wang Feng's thigh, Wang Feng remembers very clearly, this season the Knicks should have a record of 55 wins and 27 losses, and Ewing averaged 23.9 points and 11 rebounds. None of the three teams was selected, so why should he compare with David Robinson, who won the MVP of the regular season this season?

Don't even think about the regular season MVP Ewing, but you can still imagine the championship.

The Knicks eliminated the Bulls to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, while the Magic and the Pacers played a tiebreaker in the second round.

I have to admit that although Miller has gained very little in terms of personal honors, his personal strength is still very strong in the playoffs.

Under his leadership, the Pacers fought against the Magic for seven games. In these seven games, Miller averaged 25.9 points per game, shooting 51.7% from the field and 45.5% from the three-point range. His firepower outside the three-point line gave the Magic The team was in great trouble.

But the Magic is O'Neal's team after all. Even O'Neal in the baby shark period was strong enough.

这七场比赛奥尼尔场均16投10中，能得到27.3分9.6篮板，场均罚球数高达11.6次。

After seven games, the Magic finally defeated the Pacers 105:91 in the seventh game and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Regarding the speculation about the outcome of the Knicks and Magic Eastern Conference finals, most people are more optimistic about the Knicks.

The Knicks themselves are different from the Pacers. They have an equally powerful super center Ewing, and the scoring battle between Wang Feng and Jordan has deeply shocked many people in the entire meter.

Obviously, Wang Feng is much stronger than Hardaway. If the Magic want to win, it is not as simple as O'Neal suppressing Ewing. What they really have to face is the sudden appearance in the middle of the season. Not a rival super rookie.

……

The Eastern Conference Finals is the Knicks VS Magic, while the Western Conference Finals matchup on the other side is the Spurs v Rockets.

The Spurs this season are indeed very strong. While they have an impressive record in the regular season, they also entered the playoffs smoothly. They swept the Nuggets 3:0 in the first round and eliminated the Lakers 4:2 in the second round.

In contrast, the Rockets struggled a bit on their way to promotion. In the first round, they fought fiercely with the Jazz and eliminated the Jazz led by Malone and Stockton 3:2. …

Then entered the second round, and fought seven bloody battles with the Suns led by Barkley to advance.

The gap between the two sides' promotion paths makes people generally more optimistic about the Spurs' ability to advance to the final finals.

But Wang Feng, as a traveler, knows that the Rockets will still reach the finals this year, and without him as a spoiler, the Rockets will sweep the Magic 4-0 and win the championship for the second consecutive year.

On May 5, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals officially started at the home court of the Knicks.

The game against the Magic is actually very simple, that is, how to limit O'Neal's performance.

O'Neal is strong, but he is not invincible, otherwise he would not have not won a championship before meeting Kobe.

To say that O'Neal's most fatal weakness is undoubtedly free throws.

O'Neal's free throws have long been recognized by the league as poor, and the shark-slashing tactic was also applied.

No matter how incomprehensible O'Neal was at the basket in his prime, this is absolutely unavoidable.

Pat Riley prepared a number of inside substitutes in this game, ready to give O'Neal a free throw lesson.

However, today's O'Neal seems to be a little bit wrong. After being sent to the free throw line, his shooting rate is astonishingly high. He made 2 free throws in several consecutive rounds, which made the Knicks no longer dare to continue to use shark-slashing tactics against O'Neal.

Feeling hot, O'Neal was also triumphant, clamoring towards the Knicks bench. "Why didn't you foul? Let me make a few more fines?"

It's a pity that O'Neal's pride didn't last long, because although he was extremely accurate at the free throw line and had a high offensive efficiency at the basket, the Magic did not have the advantage as imagined, even at the end of halftime. Nearly 10 points behind.

The matchup between O'Neal and Ewing, of course, has an absolute advantage without any suspense, but the worst problem is the matchup between Wang Feng and Hardaway.

Who is Wang Feng?He can have the upper hand with Jordan one-on-one. Don't look at Hardaway who was selected to the best team not long ago. It seems very awesome, but he is completely a younger brother in front of Wang Feng.

Under the care of defensive shock, death entanglement and dominance skills to lock the defender, Hardaway completely stretched his hips in this game, with only 4 points and 2 assists in the halftime.

In the second half of the game, the situation remained unchanged. O'Neal could only fight alone, constantly hitting Ewing in the paint to score.

A very rare situation just happened.

奥尼尔整场比赛16投11中，罚球12中10，投篮命中率68.8%，罚球命中率83%，得到32分11篮板。

But the Magic lost the game 88:103.

Because the Magic, apart from O'Neal, only two people scored in double figures. One was Dennis Scott, who made 14 of 7 shots and scored 17 points. The other was only 17 of 5 shots, with a shooting percentage of less than 13%, and only scored 5 points Hardaway with 7 assists and [-] turnovers.

While O'Neill played so efficiently and outstandingly, his performance still failed to surpass Wang Feng.

Wang Feng played 37 minutes in this game, made 20 of 11 shots, 8 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 34 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists.

In addition to Wang Feng, Ewing's performance in this game was not bad. Although he was suppressed by O'Neal on the field, he also scored 22 points and 11 rebounds.
