Aside from offensive scoring, what stats are rising the fastest? The answer is simple, one is rebounding and the other is assisting.

As a striker, in fact, Wang Feng's ability to strengthen the pass assist is a better choice, using his strong offensive ability, he can completely pull the space to attract the bag and then assist his teammates to score.

But with the current state of the Lakers, it's clearly not a viable path.

Assists are not only based on the passer's passing ability, but also need the receiver to have enough offensive ability, otherwise if a good pass is made and the shot is missed, the number of assists will naturally not come.

What's more, just improving the passing ability value cannot directly strengthen the assist ability, but only makes Wang Feng's passing more accurate and less prone to mistakes.

But rebounding is different, it is a data value that can be accumulated purely by individual ability, and it is the most simple and straightforward on the court.

There are two related abilities for rebounding, which are offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding.

Wang Feng's two ability values are 31 and 49 respectively...... With a score of 99, it is obviously a failure.

Strengthen the remaining 37 points of free distribution points to defensive rebounding, and Wang Feng's defensive rebounding can be directly strengthened to 86!

86 defensive rebounds, placed on interior players, are already considered passing, and in today's league, except for a few top interior players, such as Anthony . Davis, DeMarcus. Outside of Cousins, only those blue-collar players who mainly grab rebounds have a defensive rebounding ability value of more than 90, such as DeAndrew. Jordan, Hassan. Whiteside, Andre. Drummond et al.

As a forward player, it is very good to have more than 80 defensive rebounds, at least as far as Wang Feng knows, James at his peak, defensive rebounds are around 80, and Westbrook, who averaged a triple-double last season and had 10.7 rebounds per game, has a defensive rebounding ability value of about 75.

Of course, Westbrook's rebounds have no reference value, and many rebounds are picked up by the center when he is stuck in the position, and if he really relies on himself, he will not be able to average double-doubles in rebounds per game.

Wang Feng's 86 defensive rebounds, without help, purely on his own, grabbing an average of eight or nine rebounds per game should not be a big problem, if the team's game is faster, plus there are blue-collar centers to help grab rebounds, it is not difficult to get double.

In the same game-per-game data, 20 points and 20+10 doubles are completely different in concept.

With the strengthening of the defensive rebound, Wang Feng's last free distribution points were finally squandered.

It's a pity that the improvement of defensive rebounding ability has not increased Wang Feng's overall rating, which remains at 93 points.

The total rating of 93, if you look at the 2K18 games released at the same time, Wang Feng's ability is enough to rank in the top ten in the league, and the players with a total ability rating higher than him can be counted on two hands, which is nothing more than James, Durant, Curry, Leonard, Harden, Westbrook and a few others.

……

September passed quickly, and the time entered October 2017, and the NBA preseason began.

The Lakers' first preseason game was against the Timberwolves on Oct. 1.

The two Western underdogs were the backstoppers in last year's regular season, with one winning 26 and the other winning 31.

In the new season, both teams have improved their rosters, especially the Timberwolves, who traded for Jimmy. After Butler, the Timberwolves' goal for the new season is to make the playoffs, at least looking slightly better than the salted Lakers.

In this game, the duel between the two top small forwards, Wang Feng and Butler, was the focus of the game.

But neither of them played long in their preseason debuts, one played 11 minutes and the other played 14 minutes, and they did not directly oppose each other on the court. Ingram had a strong game, scoring 24 points on 8-of-18 shooting to help the Lakers win their first preseason win.

On October 3, the Lakers played Game 2 of the preseason against the Denver Nuggets at the Staples Center.

In his debut on his own court, Wang Feng played a few minutes longer, played 21 minutes, and scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals on 6-of-10 shooting.

The best player in this game was rookie Kyle this year. Kuzma, 23 points and 10 rebounds.

The current Lakers team has not much else, and potential rookies are grabbing a lot.

The next few preseason games are like a stage for rookies to show, Ball, Randle and others have also played well, and the Lakers overall performance is quite good, even giving Lakers fans a feeling that the team is about to take off this season.

Wang Feng knew very well that this was just an illusion.

If you play well in the preseason, you will play well in the regular season, and people who think this way are generally not very good at it.

In Wang Feng's view, this group of rookies are very tender, the defensive intensity in the preseason is low, and there is no team to carry out positive defensive tactics against them, so they can be a little arrogant, and once they are targeted in the regular season, they will immediately be exposed.

Of course, these young players are also the pride of the league, and even if they are targeted, they will not perform too badly.

In Wang Feng's impression, this season's Lakers team has many players averaging double-doubles per game, including Ingram, Kuzma and Randle averaging 16.1 points per game, Lonzo Ball averaging 10 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game, plus Jordan Clarkson's average of 14.5 points per game and Brook Lopez's 13 points, the overall look is not bad.

But the lack of an arrow-style scorer is the biggest drawback of this Lakers team, and none of these people can stand up and have the ability to provide a consistent and powerful scoring output for the team.

Therefore, in the 17-18 season, the Lakers ranked 11th in the West with a record of 35 wins and 47 losses, although it was 9 wins higher than last season's 26-56, but the difference was not big.

But now that Wang Feng is here, the situation is different.

Throughout the preseason, the Lakers achieved a 4-2 record, and the performance was remarkable, and the fans in Los Angeles were very satisfied with this, thinking that these young players would definitely bring surprises in the new season, but the media who knew the ball collectively sang about the Lakers.

"Compared with last season, the Lakers have not made significant progress, the tactical system is a mess, and the offensive and defensive ends basically rely on the individual performance of the players, and I can't see where the role of the coach has been played. Ball can take on the responsibility of connecting the whole team, but judging by a few games in preseason, his father's mouth may be a little better than his ball skills. ”

In front of the harsh media, Wang Feng, who didn't play very seriously in the preseason, was also shot while lying down.

"Wang Feng, who chose to join the Lakers, seems to be very confident that he has the ability to lead a group of rookies to play well, and I believe he will soon understand what is the real reason for his three consecutive seasons of championships."
