Chapter Ninety-One: It's Better to Match You
"Dear viewers and friends, welcome to the regular season games of the NBA2015-16 season brought to you by CCTV Sports Channel, today's live broadcast is the Christmas game between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers."
"The first quarter of the game between the two teams has ended, and the Cavaliers are currently leading the Warriors by 4 points at 33:29, and Curry and Thompson of the Splash Brothers, the main offensive core of the Warriors on this side, did not start the game well, and did not have a particularly good performance, unexpectedly Huaguo player Wang Feng stepped up in this situation, hitting 7 of 11 shots, scoring 16 points, and almost single-handedly supporting the Warriors' offense."
"As we all know, the Warriors have won 28 consecutive wins in the regular season, ranking second in the NBA history winning streak, Wang Feng played a very important role in it, in these 28 games, Wang Feng can contribute 20 points to the team per game, with a shooting rate of nearly 50%, and has transformed from a 3D role player last season to one of the team's important scoring points!"
Huaguo's commentary, even if it is the official commentator of CCTV Sports, the commentary is naturally more biased towards Wang Feng.
Looking at the data alone, Wang Feng's average points per game and scoring efficiency are even better than that of his teammate Klay. Thompson is taller, second only to Curry, and is a star-level performance.
But in fact, as long as anyone who understands the ball can see that Wang Feng's tactical status on the court is not high, even the opponent will not focus on him defensively, it is the Warriors' tactical system that has achieved Wang Feng's efficient performance at this stage.
In other words, if Wang Feng is the Warriors' top scorer, it may be difficult to perform like he is now when he is always faced with targeted tactical defense.
However, for the vast majority of fans who are just watching the fun, they don't need to deeply dissect these deep aspects.
In their opinion, Wang Neng can average 20+ points per game in the NBA, this is a proper toughness, looking at the history of Chinese basketball, except for Da Yao, there is no third player who can perform like this in the NBA!
Wang Feng and Da Yao's playing style and tactics are still different, especially at the beginning of this season, Wang Feng's mid-to-long-range jumpers in the three-point line account for more and more points, and many of them are facing the opponent's defense to grab shots, looking a little similar to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant, who claims to have 6 billion fans, has a huge influence in China, especially this season, Kobe Bryant has announced before the season that this will be the last season of his career, and the Lakers have also begun to let Kobe Bryant, who is far less competitive than before, play tour because of injuries and age.
Although the Lakers' record is terrible because of this, both the team and the fans are very satisfied.
For the team, they wanted to mess up the high-ranking draft picks, but because the traditional giants couldn't be blatant, they finally had an excuse, so they naturally borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and openly put on a bad show in the name of feelings, gaining fame and fortune.
For fans, it is satisfying to be able to see Kobe Bryant when he is about to retire, even if Kobe Bryant plays badly.
But don't underestimate the power of feelings.
Kobe Bryant played so badly this season, averaging only 17.6 points per game on 35.8% shooting, but he was still able to win the vote crown in the subsequent All-Star vote, defeating Curry, who led the team to a phenomenal performance.
Wang Feng's current style of play is somewhat close to current affairs, so much so that in China, some people have begun to shout the slogan of Kobe's successor, which has attracted a large number of fans for Wang Feng.
Now the number of Wang Feng's fans in China is growing at a terrifying rate almost every day, and his influence is getting bigger and bigger! And Wang Feng is also very clear about this situation, and he learned about it through the information provided to him by Yao's team.
Da Yao's Yao team is not a team that eats dry food, although in Da Yao's career, Yao's team has also made mistakes in decision-making, but in general, most of their decisions are correct, and the decision-making mistakes during the Da Yao period also give them more experience.
Zhang Mingji's suggestion to Wang Feng after investigating domestic big data is to imitate Kobe as much as possible in the style of play, although this approach has some speculative cancellation, but as long as it can cater to the wave of Kobe Bryant's retirement, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless.
In fact, Kobe's early playing style and even habitual movements are very similar to the basketball god Jordan, although the latter strongly denies that he is imitating Jordan, but it is undeniable that Kobe, as one of the recognized successors of Jordan at the beginning, has definitely eaten a wave of dividends of the times.
Of course, these are some off-court contributing factors, and the real decisive factor is the player's own performance on the court, if there is no super scoring ability like Jordan and Kobe, no matter how similar the style of play is, it will not help.
……
In the second quarter of the game, the two teams began to send substitute players one after another, Wang Feng did not play much, hitting 2 goals in 5 shots and scoring 5 points.
After Curry and Thompson went off the court, the Cavaliers' defensive focus immediately adjusted, and Wang Feng encountered huge resistance on the offensive end, and his efficiency plummeted.
There's no way around it.
Although Wang Feng's mid-range, three-point, anti-interference and other ability values are 90, as well as the gold marksman badge assistance, so that his scoring ability has reached the league's first-class level, but his flaws are also obvious.
The lack of strength makes Wang Feng always suffer in physical confrontation.
The bounce was not enough, so that Wang Feng was at a low height when he jumped and shot.
What's more, Wang Feng's several key abilities in attacking with the ball are seriously lacking.
The dribbling ability is only in the early 50s, the offensive awareness is less than 60, and the shooting after dribbling is only 72, which is the lowest in the shooting category, and it was able to achieve the activation condition that the marksman's badge shooting ability value averaged more than 80, and it was all about leveling the average score with a three-point shot of up to 92.
Therefore, although Wang Feng's explosive scoring efficiency is extremely high, limited by the lack of these ball-holding offensive capabilities, when facing a strong defense, even with the assistance of the golden marksman badge, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.
"It seems that the next development has already had results...... Wang Feng thought silently: "After this season, you must strengthen and improve these abilities to get the season rewards...... Otherwise, it is impossible to become the main core of a team with the current ability alone. ”
Fortunately, Wang Feng is not the offensive core of the Warriors.
In the second quarter, Curry's cold hand finally warmed up slightly, scoring 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting, 2-of-2 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws.
At the end of the first half, the two teams battled to 58:61, with the Warriors trailing by only three points.
When the game came to the third quarter, the main forces of both sides all appeared, and Wang Feng looked at J.R. Smith in front of him and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
J.R. Smith looked at Wang Feng's smile, only felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, I just think it's better to be in line with you."
J.R. Smith: "......"
