Chapter 169: First Victory
Anthony, who couldn't squeeze in, could only end the attack with a backward jumper, but just like the first attack, Wang Feng, who jumped much higher than the original, although he could not reach the level of blocking, but the degree of interference was much stronger than before.
In front of Wang Feng, who had strengthened his strength, Anthony's only advantage was gone, and he was all defended by Wang Feng in several rounds of attacks.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, took this opportunity to attack one after another, and directly took advantage of a strong start of 12:2.
"Damn...... How so? ”
The situation was completely unexpected by Anthony.
He didn't expect that he would behave so badly in front of Wang Feng, and he was not an opponent at all!
Although Anthony has understood that in terms of comprehensive ability, he may not be as good as Wang Feng now, but it shouldn't be so exaggerated?
Throughout the first quarter, Anthony scored only 4 points on 2-of-7 shooting, while Wang Feng got three shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 6 points on 2-of-7 shooting.
The Cavaliers led by 16 points at 33:17 in the first quarter.
With a huge advantage established, the Cavaliers made a massive rotation in the second quarter, with only Irving remaining on the court and everyone else resting in the starting lineup.
Irving and James are both players with the ability to attack with the ball, so they can stagger the time of the main offense with the ball and ensure the distribution of the ball to the Cavaliers.
That being said, the Cavaliers' lineup isn't ideal.
Richard. Jefferson, Channing. Frye, Javier. Although McGee and other players have been brilliant in the past and are good role players, the current level of competition is far from what it used to be, even with Irving leading the team.
On the Knicks' side is bench player Brandon. Jennings led the team, and the two sides actually fought a battle, which was quite indistinguishable.
Wang Feng frowned slightly.
When it comes to bench depth, the gap between the Cavaliers and the Warriors is too great.
The Warriors' bench can be regarded as the strongest bench lineup in the league, with Iguodala and Livingston carrying, and Curry, Durant and Thompson can lead the team to play on the bench no matter which one of them.
The Cavaliers are different, and the only points that can attack with the ball are James and Irving.
It wasn't too difficult for Irving to rely on his individual ability to score in crucial moments, but to lead the team to victory......
Before James returned to the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers, under the leadership of Irving, swooped down year after year to win the top pick, and even after partnering with James, the Cavaliers never won a game in which James was absent due to injury and Irving led the team alone.
Wang Feng doesn't know who gave Irving the confidence that after this season, he would be unwilling to be James' little brother and go to the Celtics to be the team boss.
As a traverser, Wang Feng is well aware of the various operations behind Owen.
After three years with the Celtics, he became the most needless player in the Green Army's roster, and the Celtics were stronger without him than with him.
Then ran to the Nets, and because of the injury season, the Nets entered the playoffs without Irving with a 51.2% regular season win rate, and then the next season, Irving returned, although the team barely made the playoffs, but the win rate was not as good as the previous season, only 48.6%.
Later, Durant left the Warriors to join the Nets, and successfully recruited a group of strong veterans to join, and the Nets became the favorites to win the championship...... What the Nets will do in the next two years is obvious to all.
is such a player who can be called a cancer of the team, can he be called the first point guard in a certain sound, and he is really finished with a handsome game?
It's also a shame that Owen hasn't let go of himself at this stage, and James Yu Wei is still there, and he can still control him, otherwise Wang Feng really thinks about whether the choice to join the knights is correct.
Irving led the bench and the Knicks' bench, and as a result, the original 16-point deficit was chased back to 13 points.
Fortunately, the main players on the Cavaliers' side began to return to the court one after another, and James immediately regained the initiative on the court, and a set of combination punches attacked wildly, scoring 6 points in a row before the end of the second quarter to reopen the score gap.
The Knicks are at the bottom of the league and have no capital to compete with the Cavaliers.
When the game reached the third quarter, the Cavaliers were in no mood to continue playing.
Wang Feng began to exert his strength!
As soon as the third quarter of the game began, Wang Feng suddenly pulled out his hand at the top arc of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, one step away from the three-point line.
The remote turret is paired with a hot zone hunter, and two badges are activated at the same time, and the basketball is in the net.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Feng was in another hot area, receiving the ball from a distance on the right side of the baseline and hitting a back-to-back jumper.
In the third round, there was a flaw in the Knicks' ball passing, Wang Feng made a steal in the air, and then one person held the ball quickly and scored a successful layup.
Wang Feng scored 7 points in a row, directly widening the difference between the two teams to more than 20 points.
The huge point difference made the game completely out of suspense.
The Knicks stopped struggling and decisively switched to an all-bench lineup and surrendered early.
At 117:88, the Cavaliers finally beat the Knicks by 29 points at home and won a beautiful start.
In the whole game, James had the most luxurious statistics, with a triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists.
Irving scored a game-high 27 points and shot reasonably well from the field, maintaining around 45 percent.
Love had a slightly worse hand, shooting 6-of-15 from the field and just over 40 percent from the field, apparently making the switch from power forward to center made him quite uncomfortable, but due to the large number of free throws, he also scored 19 points.
As for Wang Feng, he made his regular season debut with the Cavaliers, and he didn't score as much as he did in the preseason, but he was quite efficient.
He finished with 22 points, two rebounds and four steals on 9-of-13 shooting, including four three-pointers.
Wang Feng's data is mediocre, but anyone who has watched the game will be surprised to find one thing, Wang Feng's ball holding time is extremely short, and he is playing off-ball offense most of the time on the court, which is almost the same as Thompson's position in the Warriors.
This is clearly the most suitable way for the Cavaliers to play, and with James and Irving's possession not affected, the team has an additional off-ball shooter who can contribute 20+ points per game.
What's more, Wang Feng's role is not only reflected in the offensive side.
In this game, Wang Feng kept an eye on Anthony throughout the whole game, this All-Star level player, the top scorer in history with scoring ability, played badly under Wang Feng's defense, shooting 5 of 18, only 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 turnovers.
It was the team's aberrations in the first scoring point that led to the Knicks' collapse early in the game.
