NBA: Top 3D talents to start

As I said before, because the current Warriors rely too much on Wang Feng, it is difficult to play high-end rounds. Unless Wang Feng plays a super personal performance, he will be at a disadvantage against any top team in the league. After all, the other four It is difficult to take advantage of the position.

But if it's Bimaocai, it's completely the Warriors' special skill.

The record and overall strength of the Trail Blazers can't be considered a dish comparison, but the overall strength is still much worse than that of the Warriors. After all, the average data of the head star Clifford Robinson is similar to that of Garnett.

With the end of the regular season, the Warriors' first-year rookie Garnett averaged 18.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 51% from the field.

Judging from the data alone, this is already close to the data in the third season of the original Timberwolves version of Garnett's career.

It's not that Garnett has grown to the height of the third year of his career. The main reason why he can get such data is that he frequently plays pick-and-roll cooperation with Wang Feng on the court and then cuts to the basket to receive Wang Feng's assists. They got it, that is to say, they still benefited from Wang Feng's super deterrent power on the offensive end.

But in any case, Garnett has already shown his star demeanor in terms of statistical performance. You must know that he is only 19 years old at this time, and the future can be expected!

The first game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers will start on April 4.

At the home court of the Warriors, the two sides launched their first duel.

As soon as the game started, Wang Feng from the Warriors fired frequently, quickly helping the Warriors take the initiative on the field.

The Trail Blazers have nothing to do with Wang Feng. Their forward player is Harvey Grant, an unknown role player. He averaged 18 points and 7 rebounds per game in the Washington Bullets early in his career, but He was quickly beaten back to his original form. Last season, he averaged 9.3 points and 4.8 assists per game. This season, he also averaged only 9 points and 5 rebounds per game.

How can such a role player with no lethality on the offensive end and an ordinary defensive end defend Wang Feng, get any benefits?
After all, Wang Feng is a super scorer who even Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and others have no way to restrain them when they take turns.

The Blazers couldn't stop Wang Feng's scoring at all, even if they used double teams, it wouldn't help, because most of Wang Feng's offenses were outside shots, and the number of times he chose to break through with the ball was very small, and once he formed an effective double team for Wang Feng, he always It is the ability to pass the ball out in the first time and accurately pass it into the hands of players who are open.

In the first quarter, the Warriors scored 31 points, of which Wang Feng scored 13 points.

On the other hand, for the Blazers, what they can rely on on the offensive end is the combination of inside twin towers.

Clifford Robinson's style of play is soft, and he was restrained by Garnett. He only scored 5 points on 1 of 2 shots in the first quarter, but the 2-meter-high center Clifford Robinson played at the basket Not bad, 21 of 5 shots, 4 of 2 free throws, 2 points and 10 rebounds.

This is no way, the center position is indeed a shortcoming of the Warriors.

The team's starting center Ronnie Sekali's competitive state this season is very close to last season, averaging only 12 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in the regular season.

In fact, Caselli is 2 meters tall and weighs only 11 kilograms. As a big center, his mobility is very good. He originally had a place in the Warriors' fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions.

This is one of the reasons why Nelson the Warriors would choose to trade him to the Warriors in 94.

Unexpectedly, Sekali, who came to the Warriors, was plagued by injuries and only played 36 games last season.

His attendance rate this season is also not particularly high, missing nearly 20 games, but due to his slow footsteps plagued by injuries at this stage, the difference between whether the Warriors have him or not is actually not particularly big.

Sometimes, the Warriors even put Garnett at the top of the center position and moved Wang Feng to the power forward position, and the effect was equally good.

In the second quarter, Wang Feng continued to work hard, scoring 10 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, helping the Warriors score another 32 points.

At the end of halftime, the score of the two teams came to 63:49, and the Warriors already had a 14-point advantage.

Even though the 2-meter big center Sabonis has some initiative in the interior, the Blazers' offensive rhythm is still far behind the Warriors, because Sabonis' offensive ability is not very strong. The clumsy movements are very weak under the extremely fast-paced offensive and defensive transition of the Warriors.

The Warriors are more afraid of O'Neal during the Magic, Olajuwon of the Rockets, and David Robinson of the Spurs, who are very strong inside players who can run and walk like flying.

For a clumsy big man like Sabonis, just running back and forth on the court can give him a lot of trouble.

When the game came to the second half, there was no more suspense.

Another important scoring point for the Blazers, the point guard Rod Strickland, who is good at breaking through the frame, faced Blaylock, who has excellent defensive ability, and the plus, who is extremely mobile inside and has first-class assist defense ability. Nate, didn't get a good chance the whole time.

As the physical fitness of the two main insiders declined, the Blazers' offensive ability further declined.

At the end of the three quarters, the point difference was widened to more than 20 points.

The subsequent fourth quarter of the game became a garbage time with nothing to watch.

In the end, the Warriors easily won the first game at home 115:97.

Wang Feng lightly scored 37 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists in the whole game. Although he didn't get a triple-double, his performance was almost perfect.

After the game, Trail Blazers coach Carlesimo looked very helpless at the press conference.

"The Warriors have a super scorer who is like a combination of Jordan and Bird on offense, and this super scorer has the passing ability of Magic Johnson. I can't think of any way to stop him, so We lost the game."

"Although we lost this game, the series is not over yet. When we go back, we will carefully study the video of today's game and come up with a way to deal with it."

That being said, but two days later, still at the home of the Warriors, the Blazers lost the second game of the series.

110: 102.

As in the previous game, Wang Feng scored 21 points in the first half, and then a wave of sharpshooters dominated the game in the second half. In the end, his personal score was fixed at 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

In the 96 playoffs, the first round of the playoffs was still a 5-3 win system. The Warriors, leading 2:0, already held the match point and were only one step away from eliminating the Blazers.

Facing the reporters at the press conference again, Carlesimo's face turned dark.

"Now the team has reached the most critical moment. Returning to the home court for the next game, I believe that my players and I can regroup, resolutely defend the home court, and recover the score."

It's just that when he said this, Carlesimo's tone was not confident.

No way, he really couldn't find any way to deal with the Warriors, or Wang Feng.

He used all tactics in the two games, pressing the whole court, double-teaming, and even a pseudo-zone defense.

But these moves were of no use to Wang Feng at all. The defensive strength of the Blazers players could not put any pressure on Wang Feng. While he wanted Yuyu on the offensive end, he also drove the overall offensive rhythm of the Warriors accordingly.

On April 4th, the first round of the series G29 game began, and the game venue came to the home court of the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland fans spontaneously came to the stadium to cheer for their home team, hoping that the team can play again at home. Raise your spirits, win the game and refuse to be swept.

It's just that they are completely desperate soon.

Before halftime ended, the Blazers' home stands were already empty.

Because at home, the Blazers' performance was even worse than when they were away.

In the first quarter, the two sides were barely evenly matched. The Warriors scored 28 points in a single quarter, while the Trail Blazers scored 29 points, with a slight lead of 1 point.

But when the game entered the second quarter, the situation suddenly changed.

The Warriors suddenly launched a wave of offensives and directly played a wave of 14:0 offensive waves, which directly stumped the Blazers.

Carlesimo even called two timeouts but failed to restore the decline.

The mentality of the Blazers has exploded. The offensive end of the players is chaotic, and the defensive end does not do anything. The Warriors are so easy no matter who cuts down the air. Scoring is like cutting melons and vegetables.

Just watching the second quarter, you can understand that the Blazers have absolutely no chance to win this game.

The same is true.

As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the score of the two teams was fixed at 102:75.

The Trail Blazers, who had no fighting spirit in the second half, only scored 75 points in the end.

The final total score was 0:3 and was swept by the Warriors.

Three games, three victories, the Warriors easily advanced to the second round without any disturbance or suspense.

In these three games, Wang Feng averaged 32.6 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists per game. It seems that the data has dropped significantly compared to the regular season, but there is no way. Who made the Blazers so unrestrained?You fell down before I could exert any force.

Especially in the final third game, Wang Feng only played a little over 30 minutes, scored 28 points, 6 points and 9 assists, and left the game early for a rest. At this time, the third quarter was just over halfway, but there was no way, the Warriors were already in hand. Holding a lead of more than 30 points, the Blazers were completely defeated. If Wang Feng continued to stay on the court, he would inevitably be suspected of brushing statistics and insulting his opponents, and he would be easily fouled by red-eyed opponents.

Fans of the Warriors discovered that this is the most effective way to limit Wang Feng's performance!
If you are not given the chance to play, can you still achieve such an exaggerated triple-double per game?

……

While the Warriors have successfully advanced to the second round, the first-round matchups of other teams in the league are also becoming clearer.

In the west, the other three matchups are currently 2:1, the Supersonics 2:1 the Suns, and the Jazz 2:1 the Lakers. The only surprise is that the Spurs and the Rockets took a 2:1 lead in the first round. It is the Rockets ranked seventh in the West,
I have to say that although the Rockets teamed by Olajuwon and Drexler have not had a good record in the regular season over the years, their combat effectiveness has really exploded in the playoffs. For a while, even Wang Feng was not sure about the Warriors. Whether the opponent the team will face in the second round is the Spurs or the Rockets.

Compared with the West side, the first round of the East is simply a lot more neat.

Four rounds of confrontation, three groups swept.

公牛3:0横扫热火，尼克斯3:0横扫骑士，魔术3:0横扫活塞。

During the regular season, the Knicks, which received a lot of criticism because of their record, finally felt proud and swept away the Cavaliers with a better record in the regular season, proving to the entire league the true combat effectiveness of the defending champions.

It's a pity that such a highlight may only be temporary, because their opponent in the next round will be the 72-win Bulls.

With the current strength of the Knicks, it is already a success to be able to guarantee that they will not be swept.

A few days later, the results of the remaining duels were finally decided.

The SuperSonics eliminated the Suns 3:1, and the Jazz also sent the Lakers home 3:1.

The Rockets and the Spurs played 5 games, and finally defeated the Spurs with difficulty, advancing to the second round, which was a small upset.

奥拉朱旺5场比赛场均26分9.8篮板4.2助攻，表现压制住23.6分10.1篮板2.9助攻的大卫.罗宾逊，再一次向联盟证明了谁才是四大中锋中的老大。

Of course, the data gap between the two is actually not that big, and their shooting percentages are also similar. The key to the Rockets winning the game is that the Rockets have another All-Star player, Drexler.

Drexler, who was injured in the regular season, managed to come back shortly before the start of the playoffs. Although he did not return to his best form, or because of his age, it was difficult to return to his best form, but even It's Drexler who is out of shape, and that's also at the All-Star level.

He averaged 5 points, 18.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists in 5 games, becoming Olajuwon's most powerful helper.

On the other hand, on the Spurs side, although 5 players scored in double figures, except for Robinson, the best performer was Sean Elliott, who averaged 15.5 points per game.

During the regular season, Elliott performed very well for the Spurs. This season, he averaged 20 points and 5 rebounds per game, and was successfully selected as an All-Star substitute. However, in the playoffs, he immediately showed his true colors, and his scoring average dropped to 15.5 points per game. , The shooting percentage also dropped sharply from 46% to 40%.

In any case, the Spurs' playoff journey is over. Next season, if there is no accident, David Robinson will be reimbursed for the season due to serious injuries, and Popovich will decisively choose to play poorly, and finally strive for The No. 97 pick in [-] ushered in the greatest star of the Spurs and the number one power forward in the history of the league for more than ten years in the future, Shifu Tim Duncan.

Some conspiracy theories even speculate whether David Robinson's injury is really as serious as the Spurs official said?Is it possible that this is a smoke bomb thrown by the Spurs in order to publicly compete for the No. [-] pick?
Wang Feng is not clear about this, but he feels that the league will definitely put an end to such incidents, just like the Timberwolves' yin and yang contracts are found in the future, they will also pay close attention to David Robinson's injury, so the season's reimbursement should be real.

These are all things for later. The problem that Wang Feng and the Warriors need to consider right now is the next opponent, the Houston Rockets.
