NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 507 The Crazy Scoring Wang Feng

Pippen scored the Bulls' highest score of 25 points. Jordan's performance was mediocre. He made 17 of 7 shots and shot 41% from the field. He scored 23 points.

For the Warriors, Wang Feng continued the previous situation of scoring against Jordan, scoring 38 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, but the other Warriors players did nothing under the Bulls' defense.

The sudden wave of losing streak caused the Warriors to fall directly from the top position in the Western Conference, and was overtaken by the Sonics in second place with a difference of 2 wins.

However, in Wang Feng's view, this is not all a bad thing, at least after this wave of losing streak, it also made the generals of the Warriors fall from the fluttering mentality caused by the smooth sailing before.

The Warriors' lineup is really not strong. It can be said that there is no All-Star player except Wang Feng. The main starting players lack the ability to attack independently, and the bench lineup is not deep enough.

The reason why the Warriors can stay at the No. [-] position in the Western Conference for so long is entirely because the league can't think of any way to deal with Wang Feng, a top star whose personal ability is even more exaggerated than Jordan's.

As Wang Feng plays in this league for longer and longer, each team will have more and more analysis of his technical characteristics and targeted defensive strategies. Even if there is no way to completely restrict Wang Feng, at least it can be done. Every game cannot be as exaggerated as 1v5.

After the losing streak, Warriors coach Rick Adelman took the initiative to take the blame at the press conference, blaming the team's recent poor record on himself.

"It was my negligence that caused the Warriors to fail one after another recently. We are a new army that was just formed this summer. Half of the main players in the team were newly joined in the summer, including me as the head coach. The same, we need time to run in and get to know each other, but during the period when the team has been playing excellent records, we are indeed a little impetuous. After experiencing these failures, I will learn lessons and do everything possible to help the team. The team got out of trouble."

I have to say that Adelman is still a little level. At the current stage when the team suffers successive defeats, the players in the team will inevitably be impetuous and in a state of mental breakdown, especially when the Warriors' main partner is only a few months away. , it is easy to have a crisis of confidence in this situation.

So he took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss, and while acknowledging his mistakes, he emphasized the fact that the Warriors are just a new army that has just undergone reconstruction.

The implication is actually that the Warriors can achieve the current results very well. You reporters who want to make trouble, who thinks that the Warriors can be ranked in the top eight in the Western Conference before the start of the regular season?
But now?Even with a losing streak, we are still second in the Western Conference and one of the best teams in the league. We haven’t performed very well in the last few games, but if you want to make a fuss, please refer to I will speak again under the premise of what I just said.

The move was immediate.

Among other things, at least the local fans of Golden State are very tolerant and generous.

It's normal to lose. They didn't even witness a few games at home in the past few seasons.

The Warriors' hardcore fans are already very satisfied that the Warriors can achieve the current results.

What's more, the Warriors lost several games, all of which were lost to the strongest teams in the league at present. Game of the Invincible Bulls.

What kind of bicycle do you need when Wang Feng is leading the team with a single core?
But after a string of losing streaks and a public self-criticism by the head coach, the Warriors immediately stabilized their record.

On March 3, the Warriors challenged the New York Knicks away.

王峰在老东家的主场麦迪逊广场花园强势爆发,全场爆砍57分11篮板12助攻大号三双,率领勇士队109:94赢下比赛。

The Knicks' star Ewing scored 15 points and 7 rebounds on 21 of 13 shots. His performance in the whole game was not as good as Wang Feng's statistics at halftime.

Madison Square Garden was full of boos for Ewing in the second half.

It is not unheard of in the league to boo their own players at home, but when this scene really happens, it is really a very embarrassing thing for the parties involved.

Ewing kept a dark face the whole time, and walked to the locker room without looking back once the game was over.

But it can't blame the Knicks fans at home. Before losing this game, the Knicks had a record of 30 wins and 26 losses, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference.

The team that won the championship last season is now struggling to survive in the playoffs. How can this be accepted by Knicks fans?
Especially when the team faced Wang Feng in this game, the fans couldn't help but think of Ewing's damn contract with the highest salary in the league again.

If they have Wang Feng, is the Knicks fully qualified to wrestle with the Bulls in terms of record?After all, even with the single-core team led by the Warriors, Wang Feng had the upper hand in personal data in his two matches against Jordan in the regular season. The game he lost two days ago was only because the Warriors lacked a Pippen.

After losing to the Warriors, the Knicks have a record of 30 wins and 27 losses. They are only 2 games away from the Miami Heat, which is ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference. The Heat, to be led by former head coach Pat Riley, were knocked out of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.

As for the Warriors, after defeating the Knicks, they defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings in four games from March 3th to March 5th. A wave of five consecutive victories.

Although the opponents in these games are not strong, including the Rockets, because the team's main core player Drexler is absent due to injury, the combat effectiveness of the single-core team led by Olajuwon is also very limited.

But this wave of five-game winning streak still gave Golden State Warriors fans a reassurance.

When facing a strong team, the performance of the Warriors is indeed not stable enough, but as long as they encounter abuse, under the leadership of Wang Feng, a super core with his own system and stable performance like an old dog, the performance of the Warriors can be described as quite stable .

On March 3, the Warriors played against the San Antonio Spurs at home again, losing 12:106 to their opponents and ending the winning streak.

This game once again proved that the current lineup of the Warriors is still very difficult to play high-end games, relying too much on Wang Feng's combat effectiveness.

A certain sports media immediately gave an evaluation of the Warriors.

"This is a typical spectator team. Their fast-paced offense and frequent pick-and-roll air-cut dunks are very exciting and beautiful, but we all understand one thing, that is, offense can win fans, and defense can win championships .”

"Although the average points per game of the Warriors ranks first in the league, but at the same time, the average points lost per game is also among the best in the league. During the regular season, it may not feel much, but once it enters the playoffs, the Warriors will face more intense confrontation and defense. , it will be difficult for them to maintain the efficient scoring at this stage."

"More importantly, the Warriors' offense is too dependent on Wang Feng. Although he is very good, it is obviously a dream to beat those experienced and powerful top teams based on his performance alone. The current Wang Feng is like Michael (Jordan) at the beginning of his career, although he will earn a lot of money in terms of personal data and honors, but before he meets Pippen who belongs to him, he can't go too far in the playoffs .”

Once this report was released, it immediately received a lot of approval and affirmation.

Most of the affirmative voices are actually from people who don't like Wang Feng.

The turning out of Wang Feng is really too eye-catching.

38 triple-doubles per game, and the Warriors' top record, make the rest of the league look incompetent, and no one wants to see the star they support has almost no ability when compared with such a sudden guy. take advantage.

The statistics are not comparable, so we can only make a fuss about the style of play and the winning percentage against strong teams.

It's a pity that within a few days of this news, on March 3, the Warriors met the Spurs again.

It was still at the home court of the Warriors, but this time, the Warriors won the game 121:109.

David Robinson continued to dominate the interior just like a few days ago. He made 24 of 12 shots, 11 of 8 free throws, and scored a large double-double with 32 points and 19 rebounds.

Six of the Spurs team scored in double figures, and their performance was even better than a few days ago.

However, on the Warriors side, Wang Feng made a big move directly.

He played 45 minutes in the whole game, made 39 of 22 shots, 15 of 10 three-pointers, 14 of 13 free throws, scored 67 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists in the game, and scored 24 points in the fourth quarter. Li Shengsheng defeated the Spurs!

In this game, Wang Feng's powerful scoring ability was demonstrated to the extreme. Even because of the large number of shots in the first quarter, Wang Feng started a marksman dominance in the second half of the second quarter, and then in the fourth quarter The match kicked off a second domination of the game.

Twice marksman dominance plus the final key shooter blessing, if the Spurs hadn't found that they couldn't defend Wang Feng, they decisively used the double-team tactic of the whole court, even if other players were asked to defend 3 and 4, they would never let Wang Feng catch the ball. Opportunity, maybe Wang Feng will score an exaggerated score of 70 or even 80 in this game.

You know, this is the league in the 90s, not the small ball era in the future where the average scoring rate is more than 110 points per game. It is really quite difficult to get more than 70 points per game.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Feng's opponent in this game, David Robinson of the Spurs, once competed with Shaquille O'Neal for the league's scoring title in 94. He once racked up points crazily in a game, and finally swiped out abruptly. With 71 points in a single game, he successfully entered the 70-point club.

There is one thing to say, Kobe's 81 clubs before 70 points basically didn't have much content.

Especially Zhang Dashuai, who is regarded as a miracle by many fans now, scored 100 points in a single game. Since many fans had never watched the games of that era, they had no idea how Chamberlain got the 100 points in a single game.

In order to score 100 points in this single game, the Warriors frantically continued to deploy the full lineup with a lead of close to 30 points, and whenever a Knicks player served, they would directly go up to foul and send the opponent free throws in order to save time.

It is said that a very funny scene happened on the court at that time. The Knicks players who were behind by a few points were running all over the court, desperately avoiding the foul tactics of the players on the Warriors side.

Afterwards, the Knicks also broke the can, it's like someone with a good head... No, it's like I can't foul?

Because of Chamberlain's physical fitness beyond that era, he does have an almost unrivaled crushing advantage at the basket. After receiving the ball at the basket, his scoring efficiency is much higher than that of free throws. Therefore, the Knicks also followed Chamberlain. Using foul tactics, the two sides began to keep akimbo watching each other's free throws.

It can be regarded as God’s help to Chamberlain. He should have scored 100 points that day. He made only 51% of his free throws in his career, but he was amazingly accurate in free throws in that game. He made 32 of 28 free throws and helped him successfully achieve an unprecedented 100 points in a single game. Miracle.

But think about it from the perspective of the audience at the time, what kind of picture was that?Definitely not the whole audience cheering with enthusiasm.

The game had already lost its suspense, and then under the frenzied fouls and free throws of the two teams, the rest of the game was fragmented and played for several hours, and the home fans almost left.

It's like many people think Westbrook's average triple-double is ridiculous now, but after decades, Westbrook may also become a legend like Chamberlain. After all, the average triple-double in 4 seasons is true. It's an exaggeration.

In this regard, Kobe's 81 points in a single game are indeed without any moisture and full of gold. It is undeniable that they have taken advantage of the right time, place and people, but at least they have not dedicated themselves like Chamberlain and Robinson in order to get more points. to brush.

Of course, Wang Feng's 67 points in this game also belong to the latter, that is, the high score scored by continuous scoring and offense for victory, which is full of gold and shocking.

After all, under the double team of the Spurs captain, he can still score 67 points. This scoring ability is really comparable to Jordan in the entire league.

Even now, Jordan's scoring ability seems to be obviously not as strong as Wang Feng.

After entering March, Wang Feng has scored high scores in many games, including 3 points in a single game against the Knicks and 57 points in this game.

This also allowed his season scoring average to rise to 39.2 points, just one step away from averaging 40 points per game.

On the other hand, when Jordan consciously wants to chase Wang Feng in terms of scoring, his scoring average is indeed steadily increasing, from his early 30s at the beginning of the season to 33 points and 34 points. After the last few games, Jordan Compared with Wang Feng's 35 points, there is a gap of more than 39.2 points. With only a dozen regular season games left in a month, it is too difficult to catch up, unless Jordan also follows suit. David Robinson, 4 points in a single game several times, otherwise it would be impossible to catch up with Wang Feng.
