NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Due to the different emphases of the two teams, at the beginning of the game, both sides focused on their strongest scoring points.

The Rockets tried every means to pass the ball to Olajuwon inside, while the Knicks, as long as the dribble passed half court, the basketball would be handed over to Wang Feng.

It must be admitted that Olajuwon was really strong during the two consecutive championships. He was able to abuse everyone except himself among the four major centers. Strong dominance.

As long as he receives a pass from his teammates in the paint, Olajuwon can display his signature fantasy footsteps, turn Ewing's dizziness and then score a layup.

It can be seen that if the Knicks played against the current Rockets last season, I am afraid they would not have a record of 3:4 at all, and there is a high probability that they will be swept 4:0 like the Magic.

But it's different now, because the Knicks have another thigh besides Ewing, a very thick thigh.

"Wang Feng held the ball from outside the three-point line and accelerated his breakthrough. As soon as he started, he immediately pulled back and took a step back from outside the three-point line to take a jumper and hit a three-pointer!"

"Shua."

The sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded.

Drexler, who tried his best to interfere with Wang Feng's shooting, looked back at the direction of the basket and shook his head helplessly.

"This guy is really powerful, no wonder Michael and Scotty can't restrain his attack..."

After just a few rounds of fighting, Drexler realized that Wang Feng could never be defended by himself alone.

Drexler, who is known as a glider himself, relies on his powerful scoring ability comparable to Jordan's. Compared with offense, his performance on the defensive end is not so good. In most cases, defense relies on With his excellent physical fitness, relying on speed, strength and jumping to suppress offensive players.

Therefore, Drexler has five All-NBA teams in his career, but has not been selected to the All-Defensive Team once.

At the age of 33, his physical fitness has gradually declined, and he is no longer at his peak. Moreover, even at his peak, Drexler's physical fitness is slightly inferior to that of Wang Feng.

Under such circumstances, he naturally had no way to effectively curb Wang Feng's scoring.

The Rockets did not use double-teaming tactics against Wang Feng, because Wang Feng’s quasi-triple-double data in the first two rounds of playoffs has proved that rashly double-teaming this guy will only make him send more assists, and it will not be effective. Curb the Knicks' scoring.

Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovich’s defensive tactic is that Drexler try to defend Wang Feng alone as much as possible, mainly defending three-pointers, and allow Wang Feng to break through the inside line under appropriate circumstances, because the Rockets’ inside line is a field. A big dream with an average block count of 3.4 times.

Wang Feng also understands that it is not a wise move to rush into the inside and confront Olajuwon, the monster who will top the NBA's blocked shots list in the future. Most of the badges are shooting badges, Olajuwon can effectively reduce the success rate of his basket attack.

Still the same sentence, in the small ball era, in the absence of high-quality centers, Wang Feng relied on his super high speed, strength, bounce value, and 92 dunk ability value, plus a dunk that can strengthen the confrontation. The most efficient confrontation terminator badge is enough to deal with everything. ....
But in the face of this era of the four major centers, it is a very arrogant idea to want to dominate the basket with only one final badge.

Moreover, although Wang Feng's overall rating reached 99 full points, whether it is inside shots, layups, dunks, basket moves and other skills in the restricted area, they are only strengthened to the maximum limit of 90 points that can be increased by free distribution of points.

Therefore, Wang Feng is really not invincible in this era, at least his threat after breaking into the penalty area with the ball is not up to Jordan's level.

However, the disadvantages belong to the disadvantages. There are still many ways for Wang Feng to score.

Harden's signature breakthrough step back three-pointer, Curry's signature three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, even with the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll cover, running off the ball and quickly catching the ball

Quick three-pointers, these techniques of the small ball era are still very useful in this era, and limited by the differences in era and cognition, players in this era do not have much awareness of guarding against these longer-range three-pointers.

In other words, no one paid much attention to three-pointers in the 90s. Even for Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, who are famous for their three-pointers, the team has very few three-pointers. Under the circumstances, the three-pointer will only be shot when it is open.

This is fundamentally different from the special creation of three-point shooting space in the future small ball era.

The topic is getting a bit far.

All in all, even if Wang Feng doesn't hold the ball and enters the penalty area, he can still maintain an efficient scoring efficiency under the defense of Drexler with only mid-range and long-range shots, and even overwhelm the overwhelming Olajuwon inside.

In the first quarter of the game, Olajuwon scored 12 points inside the Knicks, made 4 of 3 free throws, and caused Ewing and Oakley to foul once each. His performance has been quite good.

But the Rockets trailed the Knicks by 27 points at 32:5.

因为王峰在第一节比赛10投6中，三分球5中3，罚球2中2，得到17分。

During the game, Wang Feng showed a strong pass prediction ability. He judged in advance many times and intercepted the Rockets' passes and immediately formed a fast break. It is impossible to form an effective defense at all.

To make matters worse, Wang Feng not only maintained a very high scoring efficiency, but also successfully limited the performance of Drexler who was facing him on the defensive end.

Since coming to the Rockets through a trade, Drexler has become the most stable second scoring point for the Rockets besides Olajuwon. Especially during the playoffs, he can contribute 20+7+5 per game. The shooting percentage is 48%.

To put it bluntly, Drexler contributed a lot to the Rockets' sixth-place record in the Western Conference all the way to the Finals.

But at this time, the Rockets' important scoring point was unilaterally suppressed by Wang Feng. Under Wang Feng's strong defensive pressure, he didn't even have a chance to make a shot. In the first quarter, he only made 4 shots and hit 1 goal to get 2 points.

Thanks to the Rockets guard and future TNT celebrity Kenny Smith, he played well in today's game. He fired frequently from outside the three-point line and took on Drexler's scoring task. Otherwise, the point difference between the two teams would have changed bigger.

However, there is no way to target Wang Feng. For the Rockets, this is just a slow death. ....
As the game entered the second quarter, Wang Feng continued to show super offensive power on the perimeter, forcing the Rockets to use double-team tactics under pressure.

Wang Feng said, if you want to talk to me about this, I won't fall asleep.

The ten-cent badge was activated, and the Fancy Passer badge was activated. Wang Feng began to show off his passing skills calmly under the double team of the Rockets.

Wang Feng's pass can be accurately passed to the Knicks players who are in the open every time. Not to mention the chic and elegant movements, with the blessing of the ten-cent badge, the shooting percentage of his teammates is also blessed.

Olajuwon also began to be overwhelmed inside.

After all, Ewing is not given for nothing. After all, he is one of the four major centers. Ewing is also a strong insider with three best defensive team awards. Even if Olajuwon can suppress Ewing, he still needs to pay more energy than usual. Can.

The physical consumption made Olajuwon's scoring efficiency in the second quarter also drop a bit.

Therefore, the point difference in the second quarter was further widened. At the end of the half, the score of the two teams was 64:49, and the point difference had reached 15 points.

When the second half started, the dilemma faced by the Rockets was also unresolved. Even though Olajuwon regained his form after the intermission and frequently singled Ewing to score, even though Kenny Smith was extremely accurate outside the three-point line, 11 His 7-of-[-] shot was comparable to Wang Feng, but the Rockets still lost the game.

120:107, this is the final score of the two teams.

The Knicks are outscored by 13 points at home.

Throughout the game, Wang Feng was the absolute protagonist who deserved it.
5投13中，三分球10中5，罚球8中7，砍下38分8篮板12助攻5抢断。

除王峰外，尤因虽然被奥拉朱旺压制，但也18投9中罚球6中4得到22分11篮板。

Starks, Charles Smith, Derek Harper and others also got a lot of shots when Wang Feng was double-teamed by the Rockets, scoring in double figures one after another.

For the Rockets, Olajuwon was also fully fired in this game. He made 26 of 13 shots, 7 of 5 free throws, scored 31 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals. His overall performance was not inferior to Wang Feng, but inside There is still a gap in scoring explosiveness between center players and outside players.

Wang Feng's shot count was obviously one less than Olajuwon's, but his score was 1 points higher than him.

More importantly, Drexler, the second scoring point of the Rockets, only made 19 of 7 shots under the defense of Wang Feng, with a shooting percentage of 36.8%, and only scored 17 points. Even though Smith scored 11 points in 7 of 23 three-pointers points, but still failed to make up the gap in points.

……

The victory in the first game boosted the morale of the Knicks team, and the fans in New York also began to revel. It seemed that the championship was close at hand.

两天后6月9日的总决赛第二场，尼克斯乘胜追击，117:109再下一城，将总决赛大比分改写为2:0。

This game belonged to Ewing's first game. Facing Olajuwon, who suppressed himself throughout the last game, Ewing, like a god, scored 33 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. Olajuwon, who assisted, was evenly matched.

Originally, the Rockets couldn't win when Dameng suppressed Ewing, and naturally it was even more impossible to win when the two were exchanged for one.

Wang Feng scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, and scored 65 points with Ewing. ....
On the Rockets' side, Drexler's state has improved slightly, but he still only scored 21 points, and his shooting percentage was barely maintained at just over 40%.

The Rockets, who had lost two games in a row, then returned to their home court in Houston, and finally regained their strength, and stubbornly pulled back a game in the third game of the Finals on June 6 at 11:106.

Ewing, who forced a one-for-one exchange with Dameng in the last game, seemed to be cooling down after releasing his big move. He sleepwalked throughout the game. He only made 12 of 4 shots and scored 11 points and 7 rebounds.

On the other hand, Olajuwon scored 52 points, 31 rebounds and 14 assists with 7% shooting.

The reason for the loss of this game is not entirely Ewing's problem.

The Rockets continued to use the tactic of double-teaming Wang Feng in the game, and Wang Feng also chose to pass the ball to break the double-team as before.

However, other Knicks players seemed to be infected by Ewing, and they were not in a particularly good state. Even with the blessing of ten cents, their efficiency was very low. This caused Wang Feng's pass assist conversion rate to always be low.

But even so, the Rockets were still in a cold sweat by Wang Feng, because in the last 2 minutes of the game, Wang Feng activated the key shooter and secondary master marksman skills at the same time, raising the firepower to the limit, shooting 5 consecutive shots from outside the three-point line 5, scored 2 points in just 15 minutes.

Originally, the Rockets had a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter, but they were almost reversed by Wang Feng's consecutive scoring.

It's a pity that Wang Feng can score, and the Rockets can do the same. At the most critical moment, the Rockets chose to pass the ball to Olajuwon, and the latter scored stably inside. Although it was 2 points for 3 points, but in the remaining With very little game time, such a change is still acceptable.

Olajuwon is not O'Neal, and cannot use the shark-slashing tactics to further chase points, so even if Wang Feng turned on the double BUFF incarnation of Super Saiyan, he could not reverse the game.

What he made really scared the entire Rockets team.

Scoring 2 points in 15 minutes, chasing the double-digit points difference to only 2 points left, who doesn't sweat?

Relying on the last 15 points, Wang Feng scored 44 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Rockets who escaped did not celebrate

Fortunately, on June 6, still at home in Houston, the Rockets lost again, losing the game 14:113.

3:1, the Knicks have already got the match point, and it is a full three match points.

这场比赛，奥拉朱旺连续第四场砍下30 10，全场30投15中，得到35分15篮板6助攻。

The four major centers at their peak are really very strong, and their dominance in the interior will definitely not be inferior to the future peak Sharks.

But such a strong performance still couldn't save the Rockets.

尤因这场比赛发挥同样出色，19投11中，罚球8中5，得到27分12篮板。

Wang Feng, like Olajuwon, scored 30 points in four consecutive games, made 21 of 9 shots, and 7 of 3 three-pointers. Although his shooting percentage was slightly lower, he scored 13 free throws and made 11 of them in the whole game. Ball, and finally got a triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

At the end of this game, it has basically been announced in advance who will win the championship. The Rockets, who are 1:3 behind, have been unable to find a way to limit Wang Feng for a long time, and they are already powerless. .
