Chapter 32: Appearance Time Increases!
The clash between Wang Feng and Barnes in training did not have much impact.
Whether it is Wang Feng or Barnes, they have scruples, after all, they are not the ace core players in the team, and they are not qualified to play tricks in front of the head coach at all.
That kind of result is completely unacceptable to both Wang Feng and Barnes!
For Wang Feng, if he can make Barnes deflated in training, he has already won, and there is no need to be aggressive in the future, as long as he continues to give full play to his advantages in the official arena, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Barnes to become the starting small forward of the Warriors!
……
Two days were fleeting, and soon the Warriors were on a special plane to Boston to face the Celtics.
The Celtics in the 14-15 season are in a period of revival and rise. After a losing season in the last season, Stevens has begun to gradually build a winning system based on his current civilian roster.
This also makes the Celtics' win rate this season always around 50%, ranking around six or seven in the East.
But the Celtics, who have just started their revival, are no match for the imposing Warriors.
At 106:103, the Warriors won by 3 points over the Celtics.
Curry swept away the sluggish state in the last game against the Cavaliers, shooting 14-of-22 and scoring 37 points efficiently to lead the team to victory!
But the Warriors' performance is more eye-catching than Curry's, Wang Feng.
Wang Feng still came off the bench in this game, playing 20 minutes, shooting 5 of 7 three-pointers, and scoring 15 points and 6 steals!
The Celtics don't have particularly strong players on the front line, and Wang Feng has all his experience in helping to defend except for shooting three-pointers in the bottom corner.
The Golden All-Star Interceptor is effective at 90 stats for speed, agility, and interception!
In addition, the Celtics themselves are a team looking for opportunities with a lot of passing, so it also gives Wang Feng a lot of opportunities to intercept and steal the passing route!
Compared with the 27 points in the last game, although Wang Feng only scored 15 points in this game, the efficiency is as amazing as ever!
He shot 5 of 7 three-pointers, and the shooting rate has reached more than 70%! A lot of interior players don't even shoot that high under the basket!
On the other hand, Barnes played 29 minutes, made 16 shots, hit 6 shots, and shot just 37.5 percent, including 17 points from the free throw and three-point line.
When the shot was more than twice as high as Wang Feng, the score was only two points higher than Wang Feng.
This situation is what Wang Feng is most happy to see, and it is clear that Barnes has been really anxious since the training incident, so much so that he does not hesitate to make a large number of shots on the field, wanting to play luxury statistics to prove himself.
The 16 shots were almost the same as the number of shots taken by the team's second-in-command Thompson in this game, and for this reason, the Warriors' offensive rhythm was affected, which is why the difference between the two teams was only 3 points in the end.
In the locker room after the game, Kerr spoke directly to Barnes in front of all the players, but because the game was won, his tone was not particularly harsh, just a little knocking.
But then on March 2, the Warriors played back-to-back games against the Brooklyn Nets, and Barnes' playing time was compressed.
He only played 25 minutes in this game, and correspondingly, Wang Feng's playing time was increased to 26 minutes, which was even longer than Barnes!
Unfortunately, in this game, the Warriors lost.
In this game, except for Curry and Wang Feng, almost all members of the Warriors team turned into actors.
Clay. Thompson shot 3-of-17 and scored seven points on 17.6 percent shooting.
Green shot 1-of-5 from the field and shot 20 percent.
Barnes shot 2-of-7 from the field and shot 28.6 percent from the field in just 25 minutes of playing time.
In the case of the main team pulling their hips collectively, it was the players on the bench who performed well.
Iguodala and Livingston both scored in double figures on more than 60 percent shooting, one scoring 14 points and the other scoring 12 points.
And Wang Feng, who also came off the bench, made 4 of 6 three-pointers and scored 12 points.
As the number of games increased, the opportunities for Wang Feng to easily shoot outside the bottom corner three-point line began to become less and less.
After all, the NBA is the world's top professional basketball league, and no matter where there is a player who plays well, other teams will inevitably investigate and analyze the player's technical characteristics in detail before playing against them, and make targeted defensive measures.
Wang Feng's only threat on the offensive end is the bottom corner three-point line, and teams that come to this conclusion will arrange for a player to keep an eye on Wang Feng the whole time, so that he will not have a chance to easily receive the ball outside the corner three-point line.
In this case, there is another adjective in the NBA, called the rookie wall.
The so-called rookie wall refers to the fact that the technical characteristics of rookie players are analyzed and analyzed by other teams to make targeted defensive measures, resulting in players playing abnormally and even becoming less and less confident the more they play.
There are quite a few players who fall directly in front of the rookie wall and can't cross it for the rest of their lives.
Of course, there are also some talented players who break through themselves in this situation and develop new skills to get stronger and stronger!
Wang Feng's situation is slightly different.
From the tactical side of the Warriors, Wang Feng doesn't need to break the status quo at all.
The opponent wants to assign a player to hang up in the bottom corner to keep an eye on Wang Feng, which is what the Warriors can't ask for.
You must know that Wang Feng is not ranked in the Warriors team at all!
The main scoring points of the Warriors have always been Curry and Thompson, the splash brothers! Wang Feng can effectively contain the opponent's defenders and pull space, which is beneficial to the Warriors' offense!
Isn't that what a 3D player does?
On the defensive end, act as a spearhead to defend the opponent's most scoring player, and on the offensive end, as long as you can shoot open threes, it is enough!
The loss of the game with the Nets is mainly due to the poor feeling of Thompson and other main starters, although Wang Feng has fewer and fewer opportunities to shoot, but he is 4 of 6 three-pointers, and scoring 12 points with a 66% shooting rate is definitely not an abnormal performance!
Even on the defensive end he put former All-Star and the Nets' second-leading scorer this season. Johnson shot 1-of-9 from the field and finished with just 3 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
After back-to-back two-game road trips, the Warriors are finally back at home against the Milwaukee Bucks.
In this game, the Splash Brothers finally regained their touch at the same time, scoring 27 and 25 points respectively.
And the Splash Brothers' hand feels warmer, and Wang Feng has also become a direct beneficiary!
