Chapter 370: You're Embarrassing My Fat Tiger
Wang Feng keeps an eye on Zion on the defensive end. Williams, correspondingly, when the Lakers are offensive, Zion is also responsible for defending Wang Feng, which is also normal.
The height of the two is similar, Zion is slightly stronger than Wang Feng in terms of strength, and the bounce is even more than 99, both of which are better than Wang Feng, and the only thing that is a little worse is that the speed and agility are both 86.
But as a small forward, the speed and agility of 86 is already a very good level.
For reference, LeBron. James and Antetokounmpo are both around 90 in speed and agility, while Leonard, Durant, Doncic and other top forwards are even in their early 80s.
At least that's how it is rated in 2K games, so Zion's speed is already pretty good.
However, it is still up to whom to compare.
In the league average, Zion is very good, but if compared with Wang Feng, it is too bad.
Wang Feng's speed and agility are currently 94, which belongs to the first-class level of guards, and under certain conditions, his speed can be directly promoted to the full value of 99.
The specific condition here refers to after he has made a triple threat pose and activated the first step master.
At that moment, Wang Feng's speed of outburst was outrageously fast, and there were very few players in the league who could keep up with his speed!
Zion, of course, couldn't keep up.
Making a triple threat pose at the top arc position, perceiving the moment the first step master badge on the tissue class badge wall in the consciousness space lit up, Wang Feng suddenly held the ball and broke through to the right side of Zion.
"So fast!"
Zion's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart was horrified.
He has watched many of Wang Feng's game highlights and knows the threat of Wang Feng's breakthrough with the ball, but watching the video and experiencing it are two completely different concepts!
Without really standing in front of Wang Feng, he couldn't understand how fast Wang Feng's speed was.
Zion didn't have time to react at all, and when he turned sideways and tried to chase Wang Feng, the other party had already passed most of his body and rushed quickly towards the inside line, and Zion could only follow in vain.
But Zion is only the first level.
After passing Zion's Wang Feng, he immediately saw a figure coming sideways to block his breakthrough path in front of him - it was Anthony, a thick-eyebrow brother. Davis.
Although Zion has been famous for a long time, in the Pelicans, the real No. 1 core is Davis.
This season, due to Zion's injury absence without a game, Davis played a career-best performance in the first 40 games, averaging 29 points, 11.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, in addition to 1.5 steals and 2.9 blocks, showing a dominant performance on both offensive and defensive ends.
Such a performance is not inferior to Davis, who won the championship of the Lakers at the same time in another time and space.
It's a pity that the Pelicans' lineup is really bad, and in Zion's absence, Davis only has Zhu by his side. Holiday is a helper, which also makes it difficult for Davis to stand alone, even if his personal data reaches the peak of his career, the team's record can only maintain about 10 in the West, and there is a high probability that he will not make the playoffs.
Anthony. Davis' defense is definitely at the top level in the league, and he is fully capable of being selected as the best defensive player.
Wang Feng is very aware of this, with Davis in front and Zion in the back, it is a little too difficult to force the ball in.
So when he rushed to Davis, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball was passed out by him.
Kuzma, who is located on the left baseline, received a pass from Wang Feng, and without thinking, immediately jumped and shot.
Davis was originally responsible for defending Kuzma, but in order to pinch Wang Feng, he risked giving up defending Kuzma to help defend Wang Feng, but Wang Feng, who already has 90 passing ability and passing IQ, and has two passing badges of ten cents and fancy passer, is not afraid of the bag at all.
With the blessing of the purple ten-cent badge, Kuzma's mid-range shooting ability was greatly strengthened, and he hit the mid-range shot steadily, scoring the first point of the game for the Lakers.
2:0。
"Abominable ......"
Davis is very unhappy, today's game, he wants to avenge the All-Star weekend, but Wang Feng is really too difficult to deal with, after this goal, Davis wants to help defend Wang Feng, he will inevitably be restrained, always worried that Wang Feng chooses to pass the ball to the empty player.
On the other side, Zion, who was also not convinced, chose to continue to reach out for the ball and singled Wang Feng.
This time, he didn't choose to ask for the ball on the outside, but went into the inside line and stuck his position like a center before reaching out for the ball.
Obviously, Zion wanted to use his advantage in strength to storm Wang Feng.
Seeing this scene, Wang Feng was not false at all, did not make any early interference, nor did he call his teammates for support, so he waited quietly for Zion to receive the ball, and then the two launched a second wrestling on the inside.
Under the strong collision of muscles, Wang Feng was forcibly squeezed away by Zion, who jumped directly on the spot and dunked the basketball with one hand.
"Drink, ——!"
Although the dunk was a little reluctant, whether it was the beauty of the action, the strength of the dunk was very average, but dunking the basketball into the basket in front of Wang Feng still made Zion's blood boil, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, and then looked at Wang Feng provocatively.
"How? You know how good I am, right? ”
However, what made him a little disappointed was that Wang Feng didn't look at him at all, turned his head to pick up his teammates' baseline serve, and pushed towards the front court.
2:0, the Lakers attack.
Zion stared at Wang Feng intently this time.
He managed to score a goal on the offensive end, and now he wants to successfully stop Wang Feng on the defensive end as well.
However, Wang Feng educated Zion well.
The same three-threat posture accelerated towards the right side to break through, Zion reacted quickly this time, and immediately adjusted his steps to keep up, but as soon as his steps moved, the basketball in Wang Feng's hand slammed back to the ground, and a step back directly withdrew from the three-point line.
"What?!"
In order to keep up with Wang Feng's footsteps, Zion moved almost with all his might, and his weight of 129 kilograms was fully disadvantageous at this time.
The heavy body caused the inertia of rapid movement to be greater, and when he saw Wang Feng stop sharply and retreat, Zion immediately stopped, trying to keep up with Wang Feng's footsteps, but forcibly stopping his body caused the heavy body to lose its balance, and he stumbled and sat directly on the ground.
"This ......"
Shake up?
The audience was silent, and the Pelicans fans watched Zion sit on the ground in shame, not knowing what to say for a while.
Zion's expression was sluggish, he didn't react for a long time, he got up from the ground in a daze, and turned his head to look at the basket.
In such an empty position, with Wang Feng's three-point shooting ability, he must have thrown the ball in.
However, Zion turned around and stared at the basket for a long time, but found no trace of the basketball, and couldn't help but turn around, and then saw Wang Feng standing quietly outside the three-point line, looking at him calmly.
Suddenly, Zion felt a rush of blood rush to his head.
It's just a matter of shaking down, but you still want to be ridiculed like this?
Seeing Zion rushing towards him, Wang Feng threw the basketball to the basket unhurriedly.
Zion jumped high and wanted to block and shoot, but he was originally far away from Wang Feng, how could he get it?
The basketball arcs gracefully through the air and then goes into the net.
"Huh!"
5:2。
Zion just forcibly dunked Wang Feng under the basket, and was immediately shaken down by Wang Feng and hit back with three points, losing face.
Annoyed, Zion asked for the ball again in the third round and beat Wang Feng inside, constantly colliding with fierce muscles.
I have to admit that Zion's strong offensive ability under the basket in a single round is indeed the top level in the front line, unless he encounters a player like Brother Alphabet who is too tall than him and can use his height and arm span to defend him, or the existence of James, who does not lose his strength at all, it is difficult for other forwards to guard against him.
That's why Zion scored 24+ points in his first season and scored 27 points on 61% shooting from the field in his second season with 61 games.
Incidentally, in the 2020-21 season, the season in which Zion played 61 games in the regular season, he shot 63 percent from the field over 900 times under the basket, while all other areas combined combined for just 67 shots and 23 shots, a 34.3 percent shooting percentage.
It's just that he lacks stable mid-to-long-range projection ability, Zion, whose scoring is mainly distributed under the basket, has too single offensive characteristics and is very easy to target, and more importantly, the overweight weight puts too much burden on his ankles, which also leads to his glass physique, which are all his defects.
In addition, even under the basket, Zion is not without flaws.
Why does Wang Feng always default to competing with Zion for strength under the basket? It is because he is well aware of Zion's weakness.
Minutes later, the Pelicans' head coach sensed something was wrong.
In the first few rounds, Zion has been attacking Wang Feng, and the physical consumption of the two in hand-to-hand combat under the basket is extremely high, so in just a few minutes, Zion has been sweating profusely and panting like a cow, and the running speed of the defense is obviously much slower.
But on the other side, Wang Feng was only sweating a little, but his expression was calm and relaxed, as if he didn't feel tired at all.
"What's going on?"
Of course, the head coach of the Pelicans can't understand that it is also a confrontation of strength, Wang Feng has always been the one who is at a disadvantage in the confrontation of strength, how could it be that Zion is tired first?
However, Wang Feng knew it.
First of all, in terms of the basic ability value, Wang Feng's physical fitness has been strengthened to a full value of 99, and Zion has just joined the league and played more than a dozen games, and his physical fitness can only be judged according to the evaluation of scouts in college and daily training, and the ability value given by the 2K game is 90, which should be about the same in theory.
The problem is that the same physical strength of 90 is completely different for different people.
Zion weighs nearly 130 kilograms, and his heavy body makes him use more energy when he turns around and runs on the field.
On the other hand, Wang Feng's weight has been stable at about 105 kilograms, and his body is average, so he naturally saves physical strength when running.
Of course, more importantly, on the wall of Wang Feng's consciousness space badge, there is a purple terminator badge called the Powerful Terminator.
The effect of this badge is to reduce the physical exertion during physical contact confrontation.
Whether on offense or defense, the badge will be active as long as it is a physical confrontation.
A powerful terminator at the purple Hall of Fame level, the proportion of physical strength reduced in physical confrontation is quite terrifying.
There is an advantage in physical fitness, and there is also the bonus assistance of the badge, how can Wang Feng lose if he fights for physical strength?
This is also the reason why Wang Feng chose to face Zion and be tough and not intimidated at all.
The power of 88 makes Wang Feng extremely inferior in the competition of strength, but he is definitely not without resistance, and the physical strength of 99 and the purple powerful terminator badge determine that Wang Feng can squeeze Zion dry to the point where there is not a drop left.
After a few minutes, Zion, who was drenched in sweat, was already a little sluggish, and the offensive end began to gradually hand the ball to Davis and Ju. Holiday attacked, he couldn't beat it anymore.
But Wang Feng was not ready to let Zion go.
"Why don't you continue?" Wang Feng looked at Zion and said calmly, "Since you don't come, then it's my turn." ”
Then, Zion saw that Wang Feng rarely did not hold the ball on the offensive end, and ran directly to the inside, like his previous self, with his back to the basket and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Wang Feng actually wanted to beat himself in the back!
Zion: "......"
You're embarrassing my fat tiger!
Zion was very angry, obviously he had been pressing Wang Feng under the basket before, why did he change it inexplicably?
Seeing that Wang Feng successfully caught the ball and pouted his ass with his back and arched inside, Zion immediately resisted it hard.
However, Zion, who was already a little physically exhausted, felt that his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't bear Wang Feng at all, so he could only watch Wang Feng squeeze under the basket and knock himself away, and then jump on the spot to dunk and score.
It was exactly the same move as Zion, except that it was used by Zion a few minutes ago, and now it was replaced by Wang Feng.
Off the court, Pelicans fans don't know what to say.
If Zion just can't prevent Wang Feng's breakthrough and shooting, everyone can accept it, that is Wang Feng's advantage, and Zion is normal.
But now, Wang Feng actually suppressed Zion in terms of strength, which was the capital he was most proud of.
Even the best thing can't compare to Wang Feng, so why does Zion surpass Wang Feng?
Two rounds later, Zion, who was severely overstretched, was substituted.
A few more minutes passed, and the first quarter ended.
In the first quarter, neither team's offense was fast-paced, with the Lakers scoring 30 points while the Pelicans scored 26 points and trailed by four points at home.
On the Lakers' side, Wang Feng made 4 of 8 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws to get 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
And on the Pelicans' side, the highest scorer is Zion. Williams, in the face of Wang Feng's defense, Zion's performance in the first quarter of the game was actually quite good, shooting 4 of 7, 4 of 4 free throws, cutting 12 points and 2 rebounds, and the shooting rate was even higher than Wang Feng.
But as long as the fans who watched the whole game knew that Zion was on par with Wang Feng in the first quarter of the game, but only the first quarter of the game had already consumed physical exhaustion, and what should I do if there are three full quarters of the game left?
