Chapter 111: The First Round of the Playoffs, the Road to Rivalry is Narrow (First Update)

(There's a lot going on during the day today, and it's a little late to update, and there's two more later.) )

Thanks to the team's unnatural record and excellent personal data, although the regular season MVP has not yet been selected, Curry is already sure that he will win the regular season MVP.

Curry played in 78 games this season, averaging 31 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, shooting 50% from the field and 45% from three-point range.

But even so, Curry's brilliance did not completely obscure Wang Feng.

In just one summer, Wang Feng has completed his evolution, from a 3D player who can only shoot from the bottom corner three-point line and defend outside, to a player who has good lethality in the middle and long distance.

In 82 games in the regular season, Wang Feng played in 79 games, playing an average of 31 minutes per game, contributing 20.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.6 steals to the Warriors, shooting 46.5% from the field and 48.2% from three-point range!

This kind of data is like the level of a star in the league, even if there are two top scorers Curry and Thompson to attract the enemy's defensive center of gravity and pull space, it is enough to prove how outstanding Wang Feng's own ability is!

It is worth mentioning that even if there was a conflict with Wang Feng after the All-Star break out and wanted to get back some benefits, Green's data was still inevitably affected.

His regular-season stats were finally fixed on 11 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists, and although he still has the important responsibility of organizing the offense and protecting the rim in the team, his status is obviously much worse than Green, who won 73 over the Warriors in another time and space.

According to the original history, this season's Green will be selected for the best second team and the best defensive team, and he will gain both fame and fortune.

But based on Green's current performance, the best defensive team may still be retained, but the best team position is probably enough.

Although the selection of the best team will not start until after the end of the first round of games, Wang Feng at this time is already eighty percent sure that he will definitely be selected for the best team, and the probability of being selected for the best defensive team is also very high.

In addition, on the data list, Wang Feng averaged 2.6 steals per game and won the league and became the steal king of the season.

Wang Feng is inconspicuous in steals, but his interception value is a real 90, coupled with the speed and agility of double 90, as well as 90's defensive awareness and 86's scramble ability, his stealing ability is quite strong!

What's more, the golden interceptor badge greatly improved Wang Feng's sense of smell in judging the opponent's passing route in advance, making steals and interceptions handy.

Defensive deterrence and death entanglement provide Wang Feng with top-notch outside single defense ability, while the two golden badges of the interceptor and the bag master make him like a fish in water when helping to defend the bag, and the four defensive badges together build Wang Feng's outside defense system.

"I just don't know if there are any additional rewards in the system for winning these awards."

When Wang Feng thought of this, he looked forward to it a little.

After all, even the All-Star Three-Point Contest champion and the Rookie Challenge MVP are rewarded, and these trivial awards are nothing compared to the top honors such as the All-Star Team.

Regardless of the All-NBA team, three teams of 15 players are selected each season, but the award is mostly monopolized by top stars, and many professional players may not be selected to the All-Star team many times in their entire careers.

The most typical example, once one of the Celtic triumvirate "gentleman's sword" Ray. Allen, Curry's previously recognized No. 1 three-point shooter, is considered to be extremely strong, and he is also the number one in the scoring guard, but in fact, he has only been selected to the All-Star team twice in his entire career, once on the second and third teams.

But it's not to blame Ray. Allen, at the peak of his career, coincided with the famous four quarterbacks, and the huge competitiveness of the guards online can be called involution, not to mention Ray Allen, even if it is the demigod Vince among the four quarterbacks. Carter is only a two-time All-Star team in his career.

The topic is a little further away.

Wang Feng has a good personal data, and he is backed by the first record in history, and being selected for the best team is a sure thing, there will be no accidents, just wait for the news to be announced.

……

Five days after the end of the regular season, on April 18, the NBA playoffs finally officially began in anticipation among fans.

The Warriors' opponent in the first round is the Dallas Mavericks, who are ranked eighth in the West.

When Wang Feng learned about his opponent in the first round, he was stunned for a long time.

"Mavericks? Such a coincidence? ”

Shortly after the start of the regular season, Wang Feng could not compete with him, knowing that there was no future Barnes in the team to request a trade, and Warriors general manager Myers also simply traded Barnes to the Mavericks.

I didn't expect the Warriors to meet Barnes' Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs, which is a narrow path, right?

Barnes, who was traded to the Mavericks, did not shy away from expressing his dissatisfaction with his former club in interviews with the media many times, believing that the team did not give him more room to show, and he was actually no worse than Wang Feng.

Judging by the performance in the regular season, it seems that this is indeed the case.

After being traded to the Mavericks, Barnes quickly became the outside core of the Mavericks' vigorous development, gaining a large number of shots, and his personal data soared rapidly, and after the regular season, his personal season statistics were fixed at 19.6 points, 5 rebounds and 1.8 assists, and his shooting rate was 46.8%, slightly higher than Wang Feng.

Just by looking closely, one can see the difference.

The two have similar shooting percentages, Wang Feng averages fewer shots per game than Barnes, but he is slightly ahead of Barnes in scoring, and Barnes has more free throws.

The reason for this comes from the three-point shot.

Wang's 48 percent three-point shot can provide nearly 12 points per game, which is much more efficient than Barnes, whose main scoring means are concentrated in the middle range and breakaways, and the ball possession rate is very low, which is similar to Thompson's.

More importantly, Wang Feng not only has efficient and concise scoring methods on the offensive end, but also makes great contributions on the defensive end!

In contrast, Barnes didn't have a great performance on the defensive end of the Mavericks.

When the Warriors slaughtered and reaped various records in the regular season, there was nothing to argue about which of the two should be kept, and Barnes was the only one who felt indignant that he had been treated unfairly.

"If I were still on that Warriors team, then all the honors that Wang Feng has now should belong to me, with a record of 74 wins in the regular season! 35 consecutive wins! ”

Every time he thought about it, Barnes felt very angry.

"Wang Feng! Even if I can't stop the Warriors in the playoffs, you must look good! ”
