Chapter 329: Wang Feng vs Leonard
In the game of who is worse than whom, it was Gasol who was superior, with more weight than Lopez and a three-year age that allowed him to lose the scrum by a slight disadvantage.
The Lakers offense with the ball.
Wang Feng held the ball and faced Kehuai. Leonard.
Both Wang Feng and Leonard are the most typical offensive and defensive players in the league, Wang Feng is obviously stronger than Leonard in offense, and Leonard, who has won two Defensive Player of the Year awards, is recognized as the one who has better defense.
The duel between the two can be called Mars hitting the earth, and it is difficult to conclude which is stronger or weaker in the hearts of fans, especially after entering the playoffs, Leonard, who performed moderately during the regular season, also broke out with super scoring ability, which surprised many people.
And no one knows better than Wang Feng that the 18-19 season is the peak of Leonard's career, whether it is the previous season or the next few years with the Clippers, Leonard has not played such a high level of performance in the playoffs this season.
To put it bluntly, looking at Leonard's performance in the 18-19 season alone, his personal strength in this period is definitely worthy of the first person in the league and the title of the strongest, which is stronger than James, Durant, and Antetokounmpo at the same time.
Of course, it was in another time and space without Wang Feng.
Wang Feng's current overall ability rating is as high as 97, and Leonard's overall ability rating has also been adjusted to 97 by 2K after winning the championship for the Raptors in 19, which is a tie between the two.
However, in addition to Wang Feng's ability value of 97, he also has a number of high-level badges.
In the 2K game, Leonard also has badges, and there are more than Wang Feng's, as many as 46 of all kinds, but in reality, Leonard has no hanging, and there is no badge, so Wang Feng is obviously stronger than Leonard.
In the first attack, Leonard's defensive position is relatively backward, obviously more afraid of Wang Feng's first step Master Badge with the ball to break through, and he is quite confident in his arm span advantage and ability to project outside defense.
In this case, Wang Feng was not used to Leonard, and immediately pulled out his hand on the spot.
Wang Feng's fast shooter badge has been accumulated and tempered in previous seasons and has been promoted to the gold all-star level, and his shooting speed is quite fast.
Leonard stepped forward to defend the first time, but he was still half a beat slower.
"Brush!"
Basketball goes to the net.
3:0。
The Raptors attack.
Leonard stood on the outside, ran without the ball and cut to the basket, and with the help of his teammates' blocking, separated the gap with Wang Feng, and then hit a jumper in front of Ingram, who was on the defensive side.
3:2。
The Raptors have obviously done their homework, if Leonard and Wang Feng are directly one-on-one, there is a high probability that they will still be at a disadvantage, after all, Wang Feng's scoring means are too versatile, and even if the defensive end is slightly inferior to Leonard, it is not too bad.
If the Raptors, who already have a gap in the lineup, want to win, they must avoid this kind of soldier-to-soldier, king-to-king pairing style of play, and play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses.
"It seems that Leonard did not have the idea of directly facing off with Wang Feng on the field, and he played very smartly."
In the first quarter of the game, Leonard was not even the main point of attack, only 3 shots in the whole process, hit 1 three-pointer, and scored 3 points.
The Raptors' main point of attack is the interior.
Siakam's interior combination with Gasol is obviously a notch better than the Lakers.
Siakam scored five points on 2-of-3 shooting in the first quarter, Gasol exploded Lopez on the inside, shooting 3-of-5 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line for eight points and four rebounds, while Danny Green also played from the outside, scoring six points on 2-of-4 three-pointers.
Relying on the excellent performance of multiple players, the Raptors scored 25 points in the first round, which is quite good.
It's just that the Lakers scored more in the first quarter, reaching 31 points.
Wang Feng's score in the first quarter of the game was actually not high, Leonard did nothing on the offensive end, almost all of his energy was focused on defending Wang Feng, and not only Leonard, the Raptors also arranged for the mobile Siakam to lurk on one side, once Wang Feng broke through to the basket, he would immediately step forward to form a bag with Leonard.
The double bag clip dominated by Leonard is still relatively lethal.
Therefore, Wang Feng shot 3 of 7 shots and 1 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter of the game, and only scored 7 points.
The problem is that the Lakers don't have just one Wang Feng right now.
The team's second leader, Jimmy. Butler stepped up at this point.
In charge of defending Butler is Danny. Green, a standard 3-and-D player, lives on three-point and defensive defense, and has also been named to the All-Defensive Second Team.
Green's defense was excellent, but it was clearly a little inadequate against Butler.
Butler shot 5-of-6 in the first quarter, and almost all of his offense was running without the ball to cut to the basket and score for layups, so he also caused two defensive fouls, made 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points in a single quarter.
The Lakers' role in bringing in Butler was fully reflected in the Finals. new
When the opponent guards Wang Feng strictly and puts the team's defensive focus on Wang Feng, Butler can replace Wang Feng as the main attack point of the Lakers, and will not let the Lakers' scoring rhythm be greatly affected.
Not only that, but Butler also has a good passing assist ability, which can be relied on to help other teammates score, plus his own defensive ability to be selected to the All-Defensive Team many times, even if it is not as good as Scott. Pippen, however, is also fully qualified for Pippen's positioning role in the Bulls.
The game entered the second quarter, and there was still not much difference in the situation.
The Raptors want to change their defensive strategy and strengthen Jimmy. Butler's defense, however, had just tentatively relaxed his defense against Wang Feng, who immediately warned the Raptors with a long-range three-point shot to remind the Raptors of who their defense should focus on.
Wang Feng is different from Butler, once his offensive end is liberated, it can end the suspense of the game in a short time!
Therefore, the Raptors could only continue to use the targeted defensive tactics of the first quarter of the game, and the final result was that in the second quarter of the game, Leonard shot 1 of 2 and scored only 5 points including free throws, and Wang Feng shot 2 of 3 and 4 of 5 free throws to score 9 points.
Raptors head coach Nick Brown. Nas was on the sidelines, pacing back and forth.
Not in a hurry is fake.
The Raptors' defensive strategy against Wang Feng is already at a very high level, Leonard accompanies him throughout the whole process, and Siakam assists in the defense at any time, but what is the result?
Seven points in the first quarter, nine points in the second quarter, and 16 points at halftime.
Although this score is not high compared to Wang Feng's usual 25+ points in the half, but 16 points in the half, 32 points in the whole game, and the shooting rate can be maintained at about 45%, can this be called a successful defense?
