Chapter 81: Something Isn't Right!
"I have two goals for the new season, the first one is to defend the championship with the team! The second goal is to be named to the All-Star or All-Star Team of the Season. ”
When Wang Feng said his goal, he could clearly see that the reporter who interviewed him was stunned for a moment.
Wang Feng's first goal, there were no surprises.
The Warriors won the championship last season, and while the team maintains the championship squad for the new season, the quality of the young players will go further, and in this case, they will only be able to continue to defend the championship.
But Wang Feng's second goal is really a bit big.
Be named an All-Star or All-Star Team!
Even if Wang Feng is very good and excellent, the reporter still feels that this goal is very difficult for the current Wang Feng.
There are more than 300 players in the NBA league, and only a dozen or so can be selected for the All-Star or All-Star team every season! These dozen players, without exception, are all players who stand at the top of the league.
They have a lot of individual quality, great stats, and a large fan base.
Wang Feng has a lot of fans in China, but whether it is the All-Star vote or the best team of the season selected by the media, the huge Chinese fan base can't help much.
Times have changed, and this is no longer the era of more than ten years ago when the majority of Chinese fans swiped tickets for Da Yao, and even made it possible to squeeze O'Neill out of the starting position!
Due to the huge number of Chinese fans, the All-Star voting mechanism has long ago basically reduced the percentage of votes from China to the extent that it cannot affect the direction of the vote.
That's why the UAE hasn't been an All-Star in a few years in the league and hasn't been selected as an All-Star after a brief wild performance by Jeremy Lin in '12.
Compared with the majority of domestic fan bases, Wang Feng has much fewer fans in the United States, he is a 3D role player, coupled with the identity of the Chinese, the fans who like him are mainly Chinese-Americans, and the number is not much.
Therefore, the reporters interviewed did not think that Wang Feng had a chance to be selected as an All-Star.
As for the best team......
All-stars can also be selected by chance based on various factors such as popularity, but the best team is not possible at all!
As part of the league's season awards, the All-NBA Team 12 and 3 are voted on by sports journalists and TV commentators in the United States and Canada based on a player's performance over a season.
The players who can be selected for these fifteen places are all the core of the team!
Take last season as an example, the fifteen players who were selected for the best team, except for the interior players who averaged two doubles per game, the outside players basically played with 20+ points!
To put it this way...... Isn't it good?
A hint of apprehension flashed in the reporter's heart, but it was quickly overshadowed by the excitement.
He's a journalist, and it's his job to dig up the big news.
Previously, Wang Feng's performance in the interview was not leaky, the interview was carried out smoothly and steadily, without any breaking points, with Wang Feng's declaration, the quality of the interview was immediately different.
He was right.
When the video materials of the interview were edited and published on the website, Wang Feng's two goals, to be exact, the second personal goal, immediately aroused heated discussions!
Wang Feng wants to be selected as an All-Star in the new season? Competing for the best lineup?
"Huh! It seems that winning the Asian Championships made Wang Feng completely floating, and he didn't know how many pounds and taels he had! You can dominate in Asia, but in the NBA, you're just a minuscule role player. ”
"Wouldn't it? No way? Wang Feng doesn't think that the Warriors' championship last season was his credit, right? The Warriors originally had a great lineup, and they won the championship without you, so don't think that you can really win the championship with your thighs. ”
"How high you hold it, how hard you fall, and I'm now a little bit looking forward to what Wang Fengfeng's expression will be at the end of the regular season."
Wang Fenghei was all excited, and kept posting ridicule on major sports websites such as a certain flutter.
And Wang Feng's fans are quite powerless to fight back in the face of this situation.
There is no way, even Wang Feng's fans feel that Wang Feng's words are a bit too big, and even they can't think of how Wang Feng will compete for the All-Star and the best team.
In China, Wang Feng's remarks caused all kinds of heated discussions, but the person concerned, Wang Feng, did not pay attention to this matter at all.
He hesitated to say it, but after hesitation, he did.
Naturally, this is not a wild word made by a hot brain.
This season, Wang Feng pursued these goals on the field.
He's ready to get a big contract next summer!
Being selected as an All-Star or the All-Star team is beneficial to the improvement of Wang Feng's value, and the evaluation of the system season will also benefit.
What's more, Wang Feng also considered the construction of his own character.
In the future information age, traffic is king, just like the film and television industry, many little fresh meat without acting skills can get a lot of old actors who can't get a salary in their lifetime by virtue of traffic.
Perhaps now, in the eyes of many people, Wang Feng has been labeled as arrogant and ignorant.
But once Wang Feng really does it, the situation will be reversed in an instant!
Arrogance will turn into honesty, and self-esteem will turn into self-confidence.
Even many fans will regard this incident as an allusion to further expand and increase Wang Feng's traffic and influence!
Of course, the foundation of all this must be built on the premise that Wang Feng can fulfill his promise!
That said, he's going to have to be an All-Star or All-Star this season, no matter what.
Otherwise, just like those sunspots said, the higher you hold it now, the more ruthless Wang Feng will fall from the sky!
……
In China, because of Wang Feng's interview, it is inextricably discussed, but in the United States, this matter is rarely known.
After the opening game of the regular season, the games began to be in full swing.
On October 30, the Warriors challenged the Houston Rockets away and won 112-92.
Wang Feng scored 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, once again scoring the second-highest score on the team, second only to Curry, who scored 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting.
And in this game, facing Harden, Wang Feng's tough defense reappeared!
Under Wang Feng's full defense, Harden made 4 of 18 shots, and could only barely score 16 points by relying on traditional free throws.
On October 31, the Warriors played the Pelicans again, 134-120, beating the Pelicans twice.
Curry, who scored 40 points against the Pelicans four days ago, broke out again in this game, scoring 53 points on 17-of-27 shooting!
Wang Feng silently hid in the light of Curry, shooting 7-of-12 and 4-of-5 three-pointers to score 21 points.
The Warriors won three consecutive victories in the opening game, and the fans were overjoyed and stunned to find that after three games, Wang Feng averaged 20 points per game, and inexplicably became the second scorer on the team!
What's going on? Something is wrong! Why did Wang Feng score more than Thompson?
