Chapter 361: Blockade Dodge!
Although the two teams fought evenly in the first quarter, the Nets immediately launched a wave of 12:4 attack in the second quarter of the game, and the difference was opened in the blink of an eye.
Kevin. Durant is starting to get in the air.
Scoring 10 points in the first quarter was just a warm-up for him.
As soon as he entered the second quarter of the game, Durant immediately showed strong offensive ability, and Ingram couldn't prevent all kinds of mid-to-long-range shots.
The LV gap between the two sides is too huge.
"Not really...... It seems that Brandon still has practice. ”
Seeing this scene, Wang Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
There is absolutely no problem with Ingram's talent, it just needs time and experience to further hone it.
Durant's hand has been completely hot, and he continues to let Ingram defend, only to get more points.
Therefore, in the process of retreating, Wang Feng made a gesture to Ingram to change the defense.
……
"Hmph, it's finally you, Wang Feng!"
Looking at Wang Feng standing in front of him, Durant did not have any surprised expression.
In the Lakers, Wang Feng is the player with the strongest defensive ability, which is the consensus of the whole league.
In fact, from the very beginning, when he found out that Wang Feng didn't keep an eye on himself, Durant felt a little unhappy in his heart.
What do you mean? Look down on me?
It is precisely because of this that Durant will rivet Ingram with all his strength, so that the Lakers and Wang Feng understand that he Durant is not a rookie who can be guarded against by any cat or dog.
And now, he's got his wish.
"What? Looks like you're feeling good today. ”
Wang Feng looked at Durant in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "Half time is not over, you are about to score 30 points, are you interested in breaking your own single-game scoring record?" ”
Durant's highest single-game scoring to date is 54 points, which is the same as Durant's score when he was with the Thunder in '14.
As a top scorer in history, the highest score in his career is only 54, which is somewhat surprising.
It can't be helped, physical fitness is the biggest factor limiting Durant's performance.
Durant didn't pay attention to Wang Feng's provocation, he knew that this was a provocative move, and Wang Feng wanted him to continue to play with the ball.
The same defense, Wang Feng's defense and Ingram are two completely different concepts.
Since Wang Feng entered the league, Durant has been playing against Wang Feng for several seasons, of course, knowing Wang Feng's strength on the defensive end, there is no need to force a high or low now.
But at this time, Durant's hand is hot and he is not willing to waste this rare opportunity.
So Durant, who was standing at the top arc with the ball, raised his hand slightly and made a gesture to call for cover.
Jarrett on one side. Seeing this, Allen immediately came out of the interior and covered Durant for a pick-and-roll.
At this time, the Lakers' interior line has been changed from Lopez to Howard.
Howard is much better than Lopez in terms of mobility and rim protection, but it's limited to interior centers.
Howard at his peak was an out-and-out monster, with the size and stature of a center, as well as the explosiveness and agility of a guard, and the astonishing speed of three-quarters of a sprint, which is also the capital that Howard can be called by the league as a single exchange for James.
But now, injuries and age have made Howard no longer as brave as he once was, and with the advantage of weight and experience, it is already a very good thing that he can still be active on the court as a blue-collar player.
Once Allen blocks and separates Wang Feng and Durant, forming a situation where Durant singles out Howard, then Howard will most likely not be able to prevent Durant, who is in a hot state.
However, a scene that no one expected happened at this time.
Aaron came to the right side of Wang Feng and stood still to form a shield for dismantling.
Durant immediately circled the right and prepared to go directly down to the frame.
But he had just come from Aaron's right, and before he could pick up speed, a figure stopped in front of him.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Durant couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Wang?
Wasn't he blocked by the pick-and-roll, how could he be here? So fast?
Durant had to stop, and at the same time couldn't help but turn his head to look at Allen, with a slight reproach in his eyes.
"How did you block this cover, why didn't you even block anyone?"
And at this time, Jarret. Aaron also looked confused.
He didn't even figure out how Wang Feng bypassed him, he was very sure that he had definitely stood in his position just now.
Jarret. Allen's position on the Nets is similar to Capela's for the Rockets, a standard blue-collar player, protecting rebounds, guarding the rim under the basket, blocking and covering teammates while catching and eating cakes, these are his jobs on the court.
Blocking and dismantling is his essential basic skills, how to cover at the right time, what kind of position can block the opponent to the greatest extent, these are the main content of Aaron's practice in daily training.
Because of this, the quality of his blocking and pick-and-roll is actually very good, especially when combined with his height of 2.11 meters and wide size, it is definitely more than enough to block a player.
Puzzled in his heart, but Jarret. Aaron immediately adjusted his position and came back to Wang Feng to block and dismantle cover.
But in the next second, Wang Feng quickly bypassed his block and came to Durant first.
Jarret. Aaron: "??? ”
Two consecutive blocking and dismantling failures, the tactics have been completely unsustainable.
Seeing that the game time was passing minute by minute, and he was about to violate the rules, Durant didn't think much about it, so he could only pull out the jump shot on the spot.
Although the height and arm span have an advantage, Wang Feng's bounce is really good, and the moment Durant jumps out, Wang Feng jumps high suddenly, almost interfering with Durant's shooting.
Although the basketball was narrowly projected and not physically affected, the Defensive Deterrence Badge was already in effect.
"Box!"
The shot bounced off the frame, the rebound was protected by Kuzma, the Lakers attacked, Wang Feng also played a block and dismantle cover, Howard completely blocked George, and took advantage of the gap when Allen stepped forward to make up the defense, Wang Feng jumped out one step away from the three-point line.
"Brush!"
The crisp sound of brushing the net sounded, and it was also a shot outside the three-point line, and Wang Feng hit it accurately.
With the blessing of many shooting badges such as marksman, hot zone hunter, and long-range turret, Wang Feng's three-point stability is far better than Durant's!
"Something is wrong...... What's going on? ”
Durant frowned a little confusedly.
In the round just now, Wang Feng behaved a little too abnormally when facing the blocking.
Blocking and dismantling cover is one of the most common moves used by Durant in the face of Wang Feng in previous seasons, after all, blocking and dismantling can avoid direct confrontation between him and Wang Feng, and it can also save him physical strength, the best of both worlds.
In the past, this trick was often tried and tested, and the effect was very good, but why is it suddenly not good today?
Of course, Durant didn't know that this summer, after the men's basketball World Cup, Wang Feng, who won the championship gold medal, immediately drew a purple defensive badge to block the dodge.
At the same time, in order to activate the Purple Hall of Fame-level pick-and-roll dodge, Wang Feng spent a lot of free distribution points to directly strengthen the pick-and-roll defense IQ in the numerical panel to 90.
With super high ability values and the top purple badge, Wang Feng is now the league's top anti-blocking expert.
No matter facing any player who is good at blocking and dismantling, Wang Feng can use the fastest speed and the shortest distance to bypass and catch up with the original defender!
Of course, badges don't mean invincibility, even for the most top-notch purple Hall of Fame-level pick-and-roll dodges.
If the opponent is ruthless and directly comes to a double block and dismantle the cover, then even Wang Feng is powerless, no matter how powerful the badge effect is, it must abide by the rules of physics.
But in a normal game, who would be crazy enough to use a double-block pick-and-roll cover?
At least the current Durant can't think of it at all and won't choose to call a double-stop pick-and-roll cover.
He was just a little reluctant to call for pick-and-roll cover again, and this time he didn't let Jarret, who had failed to block twice in a row. Allen came to cover and instead chose Paul. George.
But George was no less good, even because of Bijarlet. With Aaron's thinner body, it was easier for Wang Feng to bypass George than to bypass Aaron.
“……”
Looking at Wang Feng, who once again quickly bypassed the block and dismantled in front of him, Durant was a little overwhelmed, and it was too unwise to directly single Wang Feng, so he could only choose to pass the ball to George, who had just failed to block and dismantle on one side.
George was also surprised as to why Wang Feng's movements around the cover were so sensitive, as if he had practiced countless times.
The game was still going on, and time didn't allow George to think too much, and he faced Kuzma's defense, holding the ball and breaking through quickly before making a pull-up jump shot.
Kuzma defended very well, so George's mid-range shot also missed.
In the next few rounds, facing Wang Feng, Durant never had a good offensive opportunity, and could only let George and Irving take charge of the offense.
But the offensive efficiency of these two is obviously not comparable to Wang Feng.
Finally, a wave of advantages is being quickly eroded.
Soon, the half-time game was over.
The Nets, who were already on the verge of leading by double digits, not only did they not lead at halftime, but they actually fell behind by 2 points.
The Lakers and Nets had a score of 68-66, respectively.
On the court, the fans at the Nets' home court were a little confused.
How is this going on?
Durant was obviously strong in the first half of the second quarter, scoring 16 points in seven minutes to help the Nets build a near-double-digit advantage.
However, as Wang Feng changed his defense, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and in the next few minutes, Durant only relied on free throws to score 2 points, but the Lakers continued to score under the leadership of Wang Feng, and finally completed the overtake.
Although Durant had already scored 28 points at halftime, anyone with a discerning eye knew that 26 of Durant's 28 points were scored under Ingram's defense, and in the face of Wang Feng, he only scored 2 points!
