NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 90 Main Attacker Wang Feng

As a well-known nerve knife in the league, JR Smith is known for his strong offense and weak defense.

But for the Cavaliers who signed the Big Three and the salary space is not ideal, JR Smith is already the best candidate for the swing position at the 23rd position they can find.

The Cavaliers have an Iman Shumpert who is more defensively capable off the court, but although Shumpert is very active defensively, his shortcomings on the offensive end are more obvious. For the Cavaliers, they hope to have enough offensive Ability JR Smith on the field.

What's more, although JR Smith's defense is a bit weak, it is also below the middle level of the league. He is also guarding the Warriors' third-leading scorer Wang Feng on the field, so the pressure will not be particularly high.

Judging from the game situation in the first half of the first quarter, it seems that this is indeed the case.

The Warriors frequently launched offenses around Curry and Thompson, and Wang Feng stayed outside the corner three-point line more often and waited for opportunities.

After the timeout, JR Smith still followed Wang Feng.

But this time, instead of running directly to the three-point line in the bottom corner, Wang Feng came to a position at a 45-degree angle to the left three-point line.

Seeing this scene, JR Smith's heart trembled slightly.

"This guy, are you ready to take the initiative?"

The entire Cavaliers team attaches great importance to the outcome of this Christmas game, and has made sufficient preparations before the game.

Just JR Smith watched almost all of Wang Feng's recent game videos.

This position is Wang Feng's favorite and most accustomed position to attack with the ball, including the game he played well against the Bucks before, most of Wang Feng's offenses with the ball were also initiated from here.

Of course they don't know that the reason why Wang Feng likes to attack from this position is mainly because the 45-degree angle is also within the coverage of the three-point shooter badge in the bottom corner. With the badge blessing, he has more offensive options.

Nearly can break through the mid-range shot, and far away can take a step back and make a three-point shot.

The effect of the three-point shooter badge in the bottom corner is very powerful, not only for three-pointers, but also for long two-pointers within the three-point line, about the wide range of the soles of the feet, can also enjoy the badge bonus.

It’s a bit weird to say, it’s obviously a corner three-point shooter badge, why can a two-point shot also trigger the badge, but the fact is that, since the 2K series games have their own badge function, the corner three-point shooter has always been like this.

The videographer of the Cavaliers didn't know about these twists and turns, and it was impossible to know that Wang Feng was still able to hack. He judged that this belonged to Wang Feng's personal offensive preferences and habits. Although it was not right, the result was the same.

Not only JR Smith on the Cavaliers side, but others also immediately understood the Warriors' intentions when they saw Wang Feng's position.

But it’s clear and clear, when Curry and Thompson pulled down a position far away from Wang Feng and stood on time, the Cavaliers players who were in charge of defending them did not dare to neglect them in the slightest, and could only follow them away from Wang Feng in a regular manner.

Even James, who is marking Green, is no exception.

Don’t look at Green’s inability to pull three-pointers later, opponents let go of his position to shoot for him, but during the 15-16 season, Green was really good at three-pointers, and his three-pointer percentage throughout the season reached 38.8%, surpassing most players. Outside shooter.

When the space was completely opened, Wang Feng directly formed a one-on-one confrontation with JR Smith.

Holding the ball in both hands and staring at JR Smith in front of him, Wang Feng was not nervous at all.

He remembers very clearly that JR Smith's overall rating in the 15-16 season was around 77, which is lower than the current Wang Feng, and his abilities are basically focused on scoring, such as shooting, finishing and organization. .

Wang Feng's body shape is close to that of JR Smith. JR Smith is 1 meters taller than Wang Feng, and weighs a few kilograms heavier than Wang Feng.

It's ridiculous that in this case, Wang Feng's strength, which has always been weak, lies in the fact that he still has the upper hand in the comparison with JR Smith.

Wang Feng's strength is only 55, which belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the forwards. He is somewhat disadvantaged when facing many stronger forwards.

JR Smith's power is only 46, not as good as Wang Feng.

With both strength and speed ahead, Wang Feng has a lot more options to attack.

For the first ball, Wang Feng didn't make any fancy moves, and suddenly started with the ball directly, relying on his speed advantage to pass JR Smith in one step in an instant.

The opponent's defensive strategy is similar to that of Middleton of the Bucks. He would rather let Wang Feng break through than shoot a three-pointer for him.

But Middleton has proved that this kind of defense alone cannot limit Wang Feng's scoring. After all, neither Middleton nor JR Smith is a top perimeter defender. If it is Kawhi Renner of the Spurs Germany, or Paul George of the Pacers, with the current Wang Feng, it is impossible to score easily.

Wang Feng, who went straight to the basket, made a toss shot against Kevin Love who was supplementing the defense, and the basketball hit the basket and successfully scored two points.

In the next round, Wang Feng used the gap hunter badge to successfully deceive JR Smith's center of gravity, and took a step back to score a three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, the Cavaliers made a pass error and the Warriors seized the opportunity to form a fast break. Wang Feng made an emergency stop in the middle and long distance and hit a jumper again!

In the three rounds, Wang Feng's offense was completed and he scored 7 points in a row, forcing the Cavaliers to call a timeout.

"Very good, continue to maintain this offensive rhythm."

Cole smiled happily and praised Wang Feng repeatedly.

In this game, Wang Feng's hand feeling was really good, and he was particularly resolute when he shot.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers replaced JR Smith with a better defensive Iman Shumpert.

In the finals of last season, Wang Feng faced Iman Shumpert most of the time.

This is a perimeter player with good defensive strength, and his physical fitness is quite strong.

Unlike JR Smith, Iman Shumpert is ahead of Wang Feng in terms of speed, agility and strength. If it wasn't because of his poor offensive ability, the Cavaliers' starting position should belong to Shumpert.

However, physical fitness is only the basis of defensive ability. Shumpert's excellent defense is entirely based on his explosive physical fitness. When it comes to defensive skills and abilities, he is also almost meaningless.

Basketball is not a sport where physical fitness alone can solve everything.

Even if the speed and agility are slightly inferior to the opponent, and the strength is definitely at a disadvantage, this does not mean that Shumpert can defend against Wang Feng.

"brush!"

The crisp net-swiping sound sounded again.

Wang Feng raised his arms high, and the extremely high Shumpert jumping in front of him had completely blocked his shot vision, but he could still throw the basketball in.
