After defeating the Heat, the Lakers have won 4 wins and 1 loss in five games in the first week of December, while Wang Feng has averaged 40 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in five games, and his performance is extremely explosive.

"It seems that getting a new helper has made Wang Feng more powerful, he has become more aggressive on the offensive end, Wang Feng has made a resolute move in December, and he looks very confident on the field, and he wants all the victories and personal honors of the game!"

"Such a crazy performance makes people very suspicious, whether anyone can stop Wang Feng, the Lakers' next opponent will be the Houston Rockets, but I believe the vast majority of people are skeptical about whether the Rockets can stop the Lakers."

"With the start of the new season, the Rockets' performance has been somewhat disappointing, and the loss of several excellent role players such as Ariza in the summer has undoubtedly affected the strength of the Rockets, and they can only rank seventh in the West."

In the first week of December, Harden averaged 37 points and 6.5 assists per game, but unfortunately met Wang Feng, who averaged 40 points per game, and was not selected as the player of the week.

"When these two teams meet, whether the Lakers continue to win, or the Rockets bottoming out and win the game, Wang Feng or Harden has the stronger scoring ability, it is worth looking forward to!"

……

"Wang, in this game, I'll help you defend Harden, how about you focus all your energy on offense?"

Before the game against the Rockets, in the locker room, Butler took the initiative to say to Wang Feng.

At this time, Butler and Wang Feng were in their honeymoon period.

Although after coming to the Lakers, Butler's personal data has dropped slightly, from 21.3 points when he was with the Timberwolves to 17.5 points, and he only averages about 13 shots per game.

But now Butler has passed the period of pursuing personal data, or he is not a player who values personal data himself.

In the seasons when the Bulls were the first core, Butler averaged about 15 shots per game, and Butler preferred to contribute to the team on both offensive and defensive ends rather than pure offense, as evidenced by the fact that he was selected to the All-Defensive Team four times.

What Butler wants to pursue now is something at the level of honor, such as a championship.

That's why he's angry at the Timberwolves' lazy attitude toward Towns and Wiggins.

The Lakers' current record is perfect, with 24 wins and 4 losses, and a winning rate of 85%, which is the highest in the league!

Butler is very satisfied with the continuous wins, and the Lakers management has given him a definite commitment to sign him to a four-year, $142 million salary cap in the summer.

Among them, Wang Feng's promotion behind it played a very important factor, Butler knew this, so he was very grateful to Wang Feng, and he didn't mind Wang Feng's occupation of a large number of shots in the team, and even wanted to help when Wang Feng and Harden faced off.

"Thanks, but let me do it, I know Harden and I'm better suited to defend him than you do."

Wang Feng said with a slight smile. "As long as you don't have to switch defenses, it's not that easy for Harden to score in front of me, and don't you think it's more rewarding to beat your opponent in this kind of direct scoring matchup?"

Although Wang Feng's super scoring ability now makes people always ignore Wang Feng's defense from time to time, his defensive efficiency has not decreased at all, and even become stronger because of the improvement of his interior defensive ability!

This season, Wang Feng's defensive efficiency reached 99, and he was compared with Antetokounmpo, Jazz team Rudy. Gobert is flush.

Wang Feng's current defensive ability is similar to Green's peak state, both inside and outside, and can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, the only difference is that Wang Feng's outside defense ability is stronger, while Green is better at interior defense.

When a player has the best offensive ability in the league and also has the best defensive ability, it's a little too scary.

That's one of the reasons why the Lakers were able to have such a great record at the start of the season.

Stable scoring and defense ensure the minimum floor of the Lakers, and they can win the game safely against those weak teams without too many surprises.

……

Lakers VS Rockets, this game that has received widespread attention, naturally has a number of media broadcast the event live, including Huaguo's CCTV Sports Channel.

On December 13, 2018, a large number of fans waited early in front of the live broadcast room on TV sets and computer screens, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

"Come on Wang Feng! This game strives to cut 50+! Beat Harden, the scoring champion is yours! ”

"What kind of cow and horse is Touching, how dare you compare with Wang Feng? What else would he do besides fake a fall and foul free throws? Nearly one-third of Harden's 30-odd points this season have come from free throws, and every time I cut to a Rockets game, I see a picture of him shooting free throws, which is disgusting. ”

"Cold knowledge, if the free throws of all players in the scoring list are removed, Wang Feng's average points per game can still be maintained at 30+, and Harden's average points per game will plummet to about 24 points, who is the one who is better at scoring, at a glance!"

Compared with the number of fans and support in China, Harden cannot be compared with Wang Feng in any case, and even in the United States, there are more fans who support Wang Feng than Harden.

Playing style is so important to shaping a star and attracting fans.

One thing to say, Harden's style of play is definitely not beautiful, a large number of free throws disrupt the rhythm of the game, and even if you don't watch free throws, Harden's floor-flow style of play is still a lot of controversy, such as the unique step-back, no matter how the league and referees define it, it still looks too much like a step in the eyes of most people.

"Audience friends, welcome to watch the regular season of American professional basketball, the Houston Rockets' home game against the Los Angeles Lakers."

"Now the players from both sides have appeared one after another, and the Lakers start with Rajan. Rondo, Jimmy. Butler, Brandon. Ingram, Wang Feng and Brooke. Lopez. ”

"On the Rockets' side, the starting five are Chris. Paul, Eric. Gordon, James. Harden, P.J. Tucker and Clint Capela. ”

"The game starts, the two sides jump the ball, Capela wins the scrum, and the Rockets organize the offense."

……

On the court, Paul dribbled over half the court, glanced at Wang Feng who was standing directly in front of Harden on the side, did not hesitate, and directly raised his hand to make a tactical gesture, and he came to attack this ball.

Wang Feng and Harden are already old rivals, and even the players of the Rockets know that when encountering Wang Feng's defense, Harden's offensive efficiency will be seriously affected.
