Chapter 199: Explosive Output
In the G4 Finals, the Cavaliers' starting five were Irving, JR. Smith, Richard Jefferson, James and Love.
The Cavaliers' on-the-spot change of formation surprised everyone.
Putting a scorer who averaged nearly 30 points per game in his first three games on the bench is what the Cavaliers are trying to do? Are they ready to give up the game early?
"I don't understand, Wang Feng is the main scoring point for the Cavaliers, and he is also the top outside defender who limits Durant to play the best, and when the team is already 1:2 behind, they let Wang Feng stay off the court, what does that mean??"
"Is this what Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Murphy has lost two games in a row. What did Lu come up with? The team's bench lineup is not as good as the opponent's, so let the starters play as substitutes to improve the depth of the bench lineup? ”
"Hahaha, that's a genius idea, I'm going to be shocked! It's just that things really will be like Taryn. Is that what Lu thinks? Are he sure that without Wang Feng, the team can withstand the bombardment of the Warriors' four All-Star players? After all, in the previous three games, they were also four All-Stars, and they were just tied with each other. ”
Most people are skeptical, and the same is Tylen. Lu's concerns, of course, he didn't think things would go so smoothly.
What's the point of waiting for a substitute to come on if the team falls behind or even gets pulled away from the start of the game?
Wang Feng, who was sitting on the bench, had a calm expression.
As a traverser, he knows exactly what the Grand Finals would look like without him.
The Cavaliers were slaughtered by the Warriors 1:4, and they showed no resistance the whole time.
But over the course of these five games, the situation was almost identical, and the Cavaliers were able to compare with the Warriors in the first quarter and even in the first half, and even if they were at a disadvantage, the score difference was rarely more than 10 points.
What really changed the situation was in the third quarter and finally in the fourth quarter.
Often at this time, once the Warriors exert their strength, they will defeat the Cavaliers.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Feng made such a decision.
As long as James and Irving can withstand most of the first quarter and not let the team fall behind, then when he comes up, he can get through the Cavaliers' most vulnerable period.
The game on the court has begun, the two teams jump the ball, the Warriors have the ball, and the basketball is quickly in Durant's hands.
Without Wang Feng, the task of defending Durant was handed over to James again.
Richard, who replaced Wang Feng. Although Jefferson has good defensive ability, he is obviously not enough to face Durant, so he is responsible for marking Green.
In the face of James, Durant directly chose to hold the ball alone, and his signature mid-range jumper hit steadily and won the first place.
James immediately fired back.
Wang Feng is not on the court, the Cavaliers' three-point shot deterrence is much reduced, and the Warriors can also rest assured that they can shrink the defense.
When James broke through with the ball and rushed to the basket, he was immediately caught by two people, but he still relied on the advantage of strength to jump strongly under the basket and successfully scored the ball.
……
In the first few minutes of the game, the Cavaliers fans, who were originally watching the game with a complete heart, were surprised to find that without Wang Feng, the Cavaliers were actually on a par with the Warriors.
In addition to James' ball-handling offense, Irving and Love also have a lot of ball-handling offensive scenes, especially Love, who frequently receives James' passes under the basket and plays with his back to the single, and Zaza, who is flexible and foot-turning. Pachulia was dazed.
Unconsciously, half of the time in the first quarter of the game has passed, but the scores of the two teams are rising, and the Cavaliers can't prevent the Warriors, especially after Durant is less restrained by Wang Feng, the offensive efficiency has become more and more terrifying, and a large number of mid-range shots even James feels helpless.
But equally, the Warriors couldn't guard the Cavaliers, with both Irving and Love showing more efficient performances than in the first three games.
"Unexpected...... That's how it is. ”
On the sidelines, Warriors head coach Steve Brown. Cole frowned slightly.
The offensive efficiency of Irving and Love is not necessarily higher than that of Wang Feng, and even if you compare it carefully, there is still a slight gap between the two compared to Wang Feng in terms of efficiency, but in the first three games, the Warriors have become accustomed to the Cavaliers' second main point of attack is Wang Feng.
"It's not going to be good......"
Now that the two teams have been evenly matched, what should they do when Wang Feng appears on the stage?
On the court, the first quarter of the game had unconsciously gone on for about 8 minutes, and taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the Cavaliers lineup made adjustments.
J.R. Smith and Richardson Jefferson came off the bench, and substitutes were Wang Feng and Kyle Korver.
"It's coming!"
Seeing Wang Feng finally appear, the Cavaliers home fans were all shocked.
Without Wang Feng, the Cavaliers are almost on par with the Warriors, and they are only 4 points behind so far, and now everyone is very much looking forward to Wang Feng's performance after he appears!
Wang Feng did not disappoint everyone.
As soon as he debuted, Wang Feng borrowed the no-ball cover to block and run outside the three-point line in the bottom left corner.
Durant, who had been playing for more than 8 minutes, was already a little tired, and his pace was a little slower, so Wang Feng shot directly from the big vacancy.
"Brush!"
The purple bottom corner three-point shooter badge is activated, and the basketball hits steadily.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Feng successfully stole the Warriors' pass, counterattacked the fast-break mid-range pull-up jumper and scored another 2 points.
In the third round, Warriors Thompson missed a shot, James grabbed the rebound and passed a long pass to Wang Feng, who received the ball and pulled out his hand directly outside the three-point line.
"Brush!"
Three points again!
In just three rounds, Wang Feng hit three shots in a row, including two 3-pointers, and scored 8 points in a row! Not only did it catch up with the Cavaliers' 4-point difference, but it also surpassed it by 4 points!
Kerr couldn't sit still, and although there were just over two minutes left before the end of the game, he still called a timeout.
Wang Feng's scoring explosiveness is too strong, and when the wind is smooth, it is no less than Curry, if he is left alone, the remaining 2-minute difference is likely to be widened to more than double digits in one go!
"It's so strong! Is this the power of Wang Feng's substitute? The Warriors couldn't withstand his onslaught at all! ”
"Excellent! Just follow this rhythm, open the score in one breath and win the game! ”
The Cavaliers' home fans were all excited, cheering loudly and cheering on the home players.
