NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Thanks to Ewing's star-level performance, he can still stay in the Knicks. If it wasn't for this, he might have been kicked out by the team long ago.

In fact, as Ewing grew older and his competitive level declined in the future, the Knicks eventually traded the team's totem figure away from the team during the 2000-01 season.

Ewing played between the Sonics and the Magic in the following two seasons, and finally announced his retirement sadly.

It's really embarrassing that the meritorious veteran of the team ended up in such a situation, but this kind of thing is not uncommon in the league.

Olajuwon, one of the four major centers, was also abandoned by the Rockets in his later years of his career.

Facts have proved that in this business-oriented league, the so-called loyalty is just a ridiculous slogan. Players who can take the initiative and control their own destiny like Jordan and James are truly successful players.

Wang Feng is already a little bit more interesting now.

Through a series of operations, although the current Warriors team can not be regarded as his one-word speech, but his status in the team can be regarded as one of the best, neither the general manager nor the head coach will openly conflict with Wang Feng , If the views or ideas of the two parties are different, they will usually take the initiative to compromise and respect Wang Feng's choice.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise of Wang Feng's impressive record in the Warriors.

If there is no top record in the Western Conference, no triple-double data of 38 11 10, and no victory in the peak duel with the Bulls, who would care who Wang Feng is?
Closer to home, the All-Star Weekend is about to begin. The Warriors only have Wang Feng participating in the All-Star Game. Other players are not eligible to be selected for the All-Star Game. The only one left is Garnett who participated in the Rookie Challenge.

In his rookie season, Garnett performed really well with the help of Wang Feng. His scoring average has gradually increased to 18 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.

In contrast, the No. 76 pick Joe Smith obtained by the 15ers through trades averaged 8.2 points and [-] rebounds per game.

After all, Garnett is only 18 years old and has a long way to go in the future. With his speed of improvement and terrifying static talent, he can grow into a top insider superstar in the future.

On the other hand, although Joe Smith is extremely powerful, he is 21 years old and 3 years older than Garnett, and the level he has shown in the game can be seen at a glance. The upper limit of his entire career.

In the future of his career, if Joe Smith can perform more stably, it will not be a big problem to become an All-Star player, but if he wants to become a top star in the league, judging by his talent, it will be very difficult.

Looking back at this deal now, the 76ers have begun to regret it a bit. Not to mention Garnett, even Jerry Stackhouse, who they were planning to use with the third pick, seemed to perform better than Joe Smith. Be better.

Fortunately, the 76ers' record this season is still at the bottom of the league. After the season, there is a high probability that they will still get the No. [-] pick of the famous answer Allen Iverson.

As for Garnett, as long as the current data can continue, it is no surprise that he is the best rookie this year.

Originally the best rookie in the class of 95 should be Damon Stoudemire. He averaged 19 points, 4 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game this season, surpassing Stackhouse and Joe Smith to become The best rookie, and Garnett originally averaged only 10.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in the Timberwolves this season, and he was not even eligible for the best rookie team.

Even now, Garnett's 18/8.7 is no better than Stoudemire's 19/4/9.3 assists.

But one thing Garnett has luckier than Stoudemire is that he has a good team.

The Warriors' record is first in the Western Conference and second in the league. Garnett, as the team's second-leading scorer, is also an important part of the Warriors' excellent record.

On the other hand, although Stoudemire has gorgeous statistics, the Raptors are the worst team in the league, with a winning percentage of less than 26%.

……

Before the start of the All-Star weekend, the Warriors still have a few games against the Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and Seattle SuperSonics.

In five games, the Warriors achieved a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, losing to the Spurs and the Supersonics.

Both the Spurs and the Supersonics can be regarded as the Warriors' competitors in the regular season, but the loss did not make the Warriors fans angry. After all, the Warriors have given them too many surprises. Even if they lose two games, The Warriors still hold the top spot in the Western Conference with a slight lead.

After the game against the Spurs, the fans finally ushered in the All-Star Weekend, the highlight of every mid-season NBA season.

This All-Star Weekend was held in San Antonio, because it was Jordan's first All-Star Weekend after his comeback, so it also attracted much attention.

Originally, according to Wang Feng's past habits, he should participate in all the All-Star competitions allowed by the rules, because the system will reward them.

But as his three-pointers have reached 99 full points, the three-point contest has little meaning for him.

The abilities improved by the Skills Challenge and the Slam Dunk Contest are somewhat dispensable for Wang Feng now.

In the past, Wang Feng might have participated in the rewards based on the idea that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

But this season, Wang Feng wants to keep a low profile if necessary.

The Bulls are really the strongest opponent he has had in his entire career.

Of course, the Warriors team that Durant joined was completely cheating and cannot be counted.

There is one thing to say, even the Bulls in 96 may not be the Warriors' opponents. Durant and Curry, two MVP-level players who are at the peak of their careers, are invincible. The barbarian used his skills to control the barbarian, and ran to the Cavaliers to embrace the thigh of the peak James, forming the Big Four of James King Owen Love, and defeated the mighty Warriors.

But facing the 96 Bulls this time is different. Wang Feng hardly has a reliable teammate to rely on. Garnett is too young. The regular season data is good because of the frequent pick-and-roll cooperation with Wang Feng. When it comes to confrontation, he is stronger It is difficult to play well in the playoffs. As for other players, whether it is Mullin or Blaylock, they are positioned as role players in the team and lack the ability to hold the ball.

This is why the Warriors frequently lose to the Spurs, Trail Blazers and other strong teams in the league.

Even in the previous game against the Bulls, the Warriors were able to win the game because of Wang Feng's 53 points in a single game and consecutive scoring at the last minute.

The situation that the Warriors rely too much on Wang Feng cannot be changed for the time being, so Wang Feng also wants to keep a low profile, try to save his character as much as possible, and avoid the playoffs from becoming the target of everyone's siege.

For this All-Star game, Wang Feng plans to just play soy sauce, recharge his energy and save his energy for the more difficult games later.

Under Wang Feng's thinking, Jordan finally had a good time in front of Wang Feng in the All-Star game.

Leaving aside the Rookie Challenge and the three individual events, in the All-Star Game, Jordan made 11 of 8 shots, scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, leading the Eastern All-Stars to a 129-118 victory over the Western All-Stars and won the All-Star Star MVP trophy.

In fact, during the game, Jordan and Wang Feng never faced each other a few times. One is a shooting guard and the other is a small forward. If they didn't defend in a targeted manner, they wouldn't have faced each other.

Responsible for defending Jordan is the Rockets' glider Drexler.

On the one hand, the latter didn't defend seriously at all because of the performance nature of the All-Star Game, and on the other hand, he really couldn't guard Jordan.

Wang Feng was relatively low-key in this All-Star Game. He only played about 22 minutes in total and didn't play very seriously. That is, he showed his face on the court, showing off two dunks and two long-range three-pointers. Symbolically, he scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

If you get the All-Star MVP, the system will reward you with 15 free allocation points, which can be exchanged for 1 elite enhancement point by using the system's exchange mechanism.

This is the only thing that makes Wang Feng feel a little distressed.

However, considering that all of this is for the convenience of preparing for the follow-up games in a low-key manner, a little loss is a little loss.

And taking a step back, Jordan has long been eyeing this All-Star MVP.

The All-Stars on both sides of the East and West are well aware of this, and are willing to give Jordan this face. Even if Wang Feng has the idea of ​​competing with Jordan for the All-Star MVP, it may not be successful, because by then his opponents will not only be from the East. The All-Stars, and even the All-Stars who are teammates in the West are likely to defect and intentionally trip Wang Feng.

After all, Wang Feng's recent performance is too eye-catching. No one wants a player who suddenly jumped out last season to perform so tough, which will make them all appear incompetent.

"It can only be said that the time has not come..."

For Wang Feng, this All-Star Weekend was spent in soy sauce, without any sense of existence.

But for the fans of Huaguo who are far away across the ocean, it is as lively as Chinese New Year.

Because Wang Feng became the first player in the history of China to participate in the All-Star.

Although Wang Feng has already broken many records in the history of China, the first player to play in the NBA, the first player to start in the NBA, the first player to win the championship and various records of scoring rebounds and assists.

As the first and only basketball player to play in the NBA, every step Wang Feng takes is a milestone step in China.

Moreover, although Wang Feng's performance of 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists is relatively soy in his own opinion, his four offenses are all wonderful goals that can be included in the top five goals of the day.

There were two dunks, one was an unguarded windmill dunk, the movements were stretched and graceful, and it completely defeated Brent Barry, who won the slam dunk champion yesterday.

The other was a brutal dunk against Mourning.

Mourning originally wanted to give Wang Feng a hat, but unexpectedly he was humiliated by Wang Feng.

And Wang Feng's two three-pointers were all shot two or three meters away from the three-point line, eight or nine meters away from the basket.

In the 90s when the league shortened the three-point line and it was still difficult to promote the three-pointer, this three-pointer skill looked really bad.

Regardless of what other people think, at least the vast majority of Huaguo fans are very satisfied with Wang Feng's All-Star debut performance, and they are full of praise for Wang Feng's personal performance and team leadership as the core of the Warriors.

"I didn't expect that Huaguo could produce such a basketball genius."

"As long as Wang Feng joins the national team, the Huaguo men's basketball team at the Atlanta Olympics this summer will at least reach the quarterfinals."

"Only the top eight? With Wang Feng, we even have a chance to win the championship! Didn't you all watch the match between Wang Feng and Jordan? Even Jordan is not his opponent!"

After the All-Star Weekend, Director Zhang, who was interviewing with the team, made an exclusive interview with Wang Feng for the All-Star Special.

Huaguo CCTV has already decided to let Director Zhang follow Wang Feng for long-term interviews, but Director Su did not come back after returning to China last season due to work reasons.

Now Wang Feng and Director Zhang are very close, and Wang Feng has completely conquered this future Kemi with his super personal ability and skills. Now Director Zhang said the most that Wang Feng played very reasonably, and he could get 38 11 10 It is absolutely impossible to average a triple-double per game and play unreasonably.

Well, this is just a joke.

But Wang Feng has really become popular in China. Although due to the restrictions of the conditions in the 90s, he still cannot become a household name like Dayao in the future, but all Chinese people who pay attention to sports or basketball know that there is a country far away across the ocean in the United States. A Chinese player named Wang Feng is very good, and he can win glory for the country in the United States.

……

After the All-Star Weekend, the league's schedule is about to enter the final sprint.

The teams rushed to make final reinforcements before the trade deadline.

The management of the Warriors is no exception. They are very clear that the team's current shortcoming is that only Wang Feng has a big core of offense with the ball, so they very much want to get a player who can attack with the ball when Wang Feng is off the court.

But the price of such players is often not cheap, and multiple first-round picks must be paid.

Therefore, until the end of the trade deadline, the Warriors failed to get what they wanted. They just signed two marginal players in the free market with a basic salary to fill the team's 15-man roster.

February passed like this, and the time entered March, and the atmosphere in the league suddenly became tense.

The top-ranked teams want to improve their record and strive for home court advantage in the playoffs.

The teams in the middle and lower ranks began to fight for the final tickets to the playoffs, even if the opponents were the strongest teams, they would not back down in the slightest.

With the sudden increase in the intensity of the game, the Warriors seemed caught off guard and lost several games in a row, including the rematch with the Bulls on March 3.

In this game, the Bulls were proud, 110:97, beating the Warriors by 13 points.

Throughout the game, the Warriors were always suppressed by the Bulls, and even Wang Feng's dominance skills could not restore the decline.
