Chapter 112: Showdown with Barnes (Part 2)

In the first round of the playoffs, Wang Feng really didn't expect to face the Mavericks.

He has the impression that the opponent of the Warriors in the first round should be the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets in the 15-16 season have not yet risen, although Harden performed well in the lineup, averaging 29 points per game in the regular season, but the monster Howard further degraded physically, only handed over a failing answer sheet with an average of 13.7 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, and the team's head coach was not X**D representative Mike. D'Antoni, so the Rockets are still weak this season, finishing eighth in the West with a 41-41 record.

But if you think about it, the record rankings of the bottom few places in the West in the '16 playoffs in another time and space are very close.

The eighth-place Rockets have 41 wins, the seventh-place Grizzlies have 42 wins, and the sixth-place Mavericks have 42 wins!

Whichever of these three teams wins one more game in the regular season will be placed in very different places from each other.

Wang Feng's existence has obviously affected the original history, and under the instigation of butterfly wings, the Mavericks accidentally lost one more game than in another time and space, and due to the relationship between victory and defeat, they could only rank eighth under the same 41-win rocket.

The Mavericks are also helpless against the Warriors, how strong the Warriors are this season, the whole league has a deep understanding, they can be said to have no chance of winning, if they meet the second Spurs in the West or the third Thunder, there is still a little hope to fight.

……

The first game between the two teams was played on the Warriors' home court.

When the starters of the two teams stood on the field waiting for the jump ball, Wang Feng noticed a hostile gaze from Harrison. Barnes.

Although there was no intersection between the two before the game.

But Wang Feng read a provocative meaning in his eyes.

"This guy, you want to wrestle your wrist with me?"

Wang Feng was stunned, then reacted, and couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his mouth.

Hum! Bite off more than one can chew.

Wang Feng's current overall rating is no less than that of Barnes, and with the effect bonus of the badge, he is much stronger than Barnes.

Is the other party still unwilling to compete with himself at this time?

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Feng understood Barnes's thoughts a little bit again.

Also a Western Conference team, the Mavericks and Warriors have played each other four times during the regular season, and almost every time these four times have been extremely miserable.

Nowitzki, the king of heaven, is old and decrepit anymore, and the Mavericks have an aging and weak lineup, often surrendering their guns when they can't even resist the third quarter of the game.

The huge gap in strength made Barnes understand that it was almost impossible to expect the Mavericks to stage the Black Eight Miracle to help him get revenge!

So, since he can't complete his revenge on the Warriors, he can suppress Wang Feng in the personal ability competition and prove that he is the better one, which can also give Barnes some psychological comfort.

Obviously, Barnes, who played as the main player for a season with the Mavericks, has drifted a little and forgotten the scene of being beaten by Wang Feng when he was training with the Warriors.

……

Players from both teams jump the ball, and the Mavericks gain possession.

Delong. Williams dribbled past half court and immediately spotted Barnes, who was standing not far away and waving for the ball.

One of the two point guards in the league a few years ago with Paul, but now he is only an insignificant role player on the team.

As a key player for the Mavericks to develop in the future, Barnes is second only to Nowitzki in the team, so when he saw Barnes taking the initiative to ask for the ball, Delon could only pass the ball to the opponent.

Seeing this, Wang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Huo, you dare to directly confront me on the outside, your courage is commendable! It seems that this season with the Mavericks has really given you a lot of confidence. ”

"Humph!"

In the face of Wang Feng's provocative words, Barnes snorted disdainfully, holding the ball and observing Wang Feng's position to find a flaw.

However, after a few seconds, Barnes had to give up.

Although there have been four meetings in the regular season, Barnes and Wang Feng have not faced each other directly many times.

Now, once again facing Wang Feng's defense, that familiar feeling is coming again, it is a suffocating sense of defensive oppression!

Not to mention anything else, just 90's defensive awareness and 85's ball-handling defense are not something Barnes can easily deal with in his early 80s!

Barnes, who didn't find a flaw for half a day, could only rely on speed to force a breakthrough.

Wang Feng stepped forward, he and Barnes were similar in size, and the difference in strength was not large, the moment the two of them made physical contact, the Death Entanglement Badge was immediately activated.

The long-lost feeling came like a tide, Barnes staggered, and before he rushed to the basket, he was already a little unable to dribble the ball under Wang Feng's entanglement!

In a hurry, Barnes could only collect the ball and make a pull-and-go jumper, trying to use his better mid-range to solve the problem.

But this was expected by Wang Feng!

Almost at the same time as Barnes jumped, Wang Feng followed suit, his arm directly in front of Barnes.

The highest-level Purple Hall of Fame Defensive Shock Badge is activated!

Barnes, whose vision was seriously disturbed, shot a shot, the basketball was outrageously off, and the rebound fell into the arms of the Warriors center.

"Damn!" Barnes' face changed slightly.

"That's it?"

Wang Feng glanced back, with a little disdain on his face. "I thought you'd be making some progress with the Mavericks this season."

The contradiction between Wang Feng and Barnes has existed since the first day of his crossing.

He still remembers the undisguised disdain on the look and expression on the face of Barnes when head coach Kerr put himself on the pitch for the first time.

Wang Feng is not a broad-minded and generous person, on the contrary, he is also a little cautious, if someone provokes him, he can think about it for a long time!

What's more, the other party seems to have come with the idea of revenge this time, how can he be polite to Barnes?

"Beat you up in this game!"

A cold light flashed in Wang Feng's eyes.

Offense and defense transition, Warriors offense.

Wang Feng, who ran to the front court, also directly reached out and took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Wang Feng rarely takes the initiative to ask for the ball on the court, and more often than not, Curry or Thompson will pass the ball to Wang Feng when he creates a suitable vacancy.

But Wang Feng, who holds the gold marksman badge, also has the ability to hold the ball alone, and once the Warriors encounter a situation where the offense is blocked and the outside line is slow to open the situation in the regular season, they will also try to pass the ball to Wang Feng, so that Wang Feng can use medium and long-distance projection to open the situation.

Seeing Wang Feng take the initiative to ask, Curry, who was in possession of the ball, thought for a moment, looked at Wang Feng and Barnes for a moment, and then passed the ball to Wang Feng.

"You're still going to single me?"

Seeing this scene, Barnes's pupils shrank, and the anger in his heart could not be contained!
