Chapter 392: Wang Feng wants to break the scoring record?
(Mention it again, some book friends haven't noticed, and if you find that the plot doesn't match the previous one, you can go to chapter 384 to re-read it and make some changes to the plot.) )
In another time and space, Jordan in the 2020-21 season. Poole has been able to contribute 12 points in just 19.4 minutes off the bench and is an important scoring point for the Warriors off the bench.
In the 21-22 season, Poole further evolved, averaging 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4 assists in 30 minutes per game.
These figures are the main reason for Wang Feng's belief in Poole.
Although it is not completely data-only on the field, if there are no basic statistics, how can you prove that a player is strong?
Now it seems that Poole is gradually becoming familiar with and adapting to the rhythm and intensity of the game as a starter after experiencing the initial discomfort, and Poole is not alone in the fight, Wang Feng often gives Poole some help on the court, especially the purple ten-cent badge, which can improve Poole's shooting ability to a certain extent, so that he can play better on the court.
……
The Lakers have a total of 14 games in December, and these 14 games are not easy to play, because they include the Warriors, Clippers, 76ers, and other strong teams, especially the Christmas game on the 25th, the Lakers need to face last season's Finals opponent Milwaukee Bucks.
Under the difficult schedule, the Lakers finally finished with an 8-6 record in 14 games, basically losing all the games against strong opponents, including the Bucks, who were still injured and unable to play in the Christmas game.
Wang's December scoring dropped slightly, from 44.5 to 41.2, which is still a shaky lead of all scorers in the league, while rebounds and assists have not fluctuated significantly.
Due to the serious decline in December, the Lakers were overtaken by the Warriors, falling from second to third in the West, but in terms of record, they are still firmly in the top half of the division, and the fourth-ranked Nuggets have a large difference in wins with the Lakers, and will not be surpassed in a short time.
With the last day of December passing by the end of December, 2021 has arrived.
As always, voting for All-Star Weekend is already in full swing.
Relying on the shocking performance of the strongest personal data, Wang Feng topped the All-Star list as the vote king in two rounds of voting without suspense, and once again defeated James to be elected as the king of Western votes.
However, the vote king in the east has become Durant, which is also the first time that Wang Feng has faced different eastern vote king opponents since he was elected as the vote king several times.
The remaining eight All-Star starters in the East and West are the West: James, Curry, Doncic, Jokic.
West: Irving, Beal, Antetokounmpo and Embiid.
The Lakers' forward, Ingram, who has performed quite well this season, was not selected for the same reason as last year, there are too many competitors.
Rockets' Harden, Trail Blazers' Lillard, Clippers' Leonard, Jazz forward Mitchell, Pelicans forward Davis and Zion. Williams.
With a star-studded scene, Ingram simply doesn't rank on the list.
On the other hand, the pressure of competition in the east is much less, at least like Jaylen. Brown, Vucevich, Julius. Randle and the rest of Ingram have a chance to win it.
At the beginning of January, after all the All-Star players were confirmed, the league organized a selection ceremony.
Don't mention the details of the selection, anyway, it's the same routine and script every year, and there's nothing particularly worth looking forward to.
Durant chose the starting five of Irving, Antetokounmpo, Doncic and Jokic, while Wang Feng had Curry, James, Beal and Embiid.
The All-Star Game will begin on Feb. 18, and the January schedule has just begun.
The Lakers in January can finally take a breather, compared to December, when the strong rivals were cloudy, the Lakers in January had many weak teams in the league, such as the Timberwolves, Spurs, Kings, Knicks and other teams.
The current Lakers are quite difficult to play against strong teams, but they can still attack hard in the face of weak teams, especially Ingram and Kuzma.
And there was a small episode in between, which happened on January 13, a game at the Lakers' home court, against the Dallas Mavericks.
Wang Feng VS Doncic, this is a very interesting game.
Wang Feng's data this season is indeed terrifying, with an average of 40+10+10 per game, which is unprecedented and difficult to come after.
But Doncic's performance is not bad, averaging 29.4 points, 8 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game so far, and in the third season of his career, surrounded by a number of strong opponents on the front line, Doncic's strength has grown more and more rapidly.
Wang Feng has the advantage in the personal competition, and the team's record is also better than the Lakers, and as the schedule becomes easier in January, the Lakers quickly stabilize their record and sit in third place in the West.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are entangled with the Nuggets, Pelicans, Clippers, Trail Blazers and other teams in the second half of the division, and their records are extremely close to each other.
This game has Lakers fans looking forward to it, and everyone wants to see how Wang Fengfeng educates Doncic well.
However, to the slight disappointment of Lakers fans, the two did not face each other at all in this game.
Doncic's defense itself is famously leaky in the league, his focus is mainly on the offensive end, and he doesn't put much effort into the defensive end, and it is difficult to keep up with the offensive players with his fat body and not quick pace.
On the Mavericks' side, defending Wang Feng is small forward Dorian. Finney. Smith is a blue-collar defensive player with explosive physical qualities and good at defending and grabbing rebounds.
This is not surprising, but what Lakers fans didn't expect was that the Lakers also didn't let Wang Feng defend Doncic on the defensive end, but let Ingram mark Doncic. Smith.
The lack of visibility into the matchup was a bit of a disappointment for Lakers fans, but they soon stopped thinking that way because they found out why the Lakers were arranging it the way they did.
Wang Feng showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning of the game, shooting from outside the three-point line in a row and hitting several shots.
In less than 5 minutes of the opening game, Wang Feng scored 4 three-pointers and directly timed the Mavericks.
After the timeout, Finney. Smith obviously changed his defensive strategy and began to defend Wang Feng's three-point shooting, even if he did not hesitate to stand in front of him to give Wang Feng a chance to break through with the ball.
Seeing this scene, Wang Feng was not polite, and directly switched from three-point shooting to holding the ball and attacking the frame.
The Mavericks' interior center is Poshen Porzingis.
Boshen, who is as tall as 2.21 meters, is actually best at the position of a power forward, after all, his weight is only 108 kilograms, which is about the same as Wang Feng, and he is not good at internal physical confrontation.
But in this era of small-ball play, many power forwards have switched to center, bringing the advantages of power forward mobility and mid-to-long-range shooting to the center position.
Bushy eyebrows Davis, Downs, and Boshen are all typical examples.
Boshen's strength on the offensive end is not to be said, and the perennial 20+ points are not for nothing.
But when it comes to the ability to protect the frame, Boshen is really not very good, and he is slightly stronger than the center Lopez on the Lakers' side, of course, it is impossible to block Wang Feng.
Whenever Wang Feng rushes into the basket with the ball, he basically jumps up and scores with a violent dunk, or is forced to the basket by the Mavericks and makes foul free throws.
Wang Feng, whose ability to make fouls has been strengthened to 89, is now second only to Harden and Embiid in the league.
In the first quarter alone, Wang Feng scored 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting, 4-of-6 three-pointers, and 4-of-4 free throws.
No one on the Lone Ranger's side could defend Wang Feng at all, in fact, they also gave up defending Wang Feng, and turned to Wang Feng's teammates, wanting to win the game by limiting Wang Feng's teammates from scoring.
Seeing this scene, Wang Feng is not used to the Mavericks at all, and the second quarter of the game continued to output efficiently, anyway, when the defensive end does not need to be marked against Doncic, Wang Feng can save a lot of physical strength.
Although he has a defensive perpetual motion badge on the defensive end, which can slow down the physical consumption when defending, the slowdown is not without consumption, and a large amount of physical confrontation defense will still make Wang Feng's physical strength continue to lose, but now it is different.
Wang Feng, who was full of physical strength, shot 7 of 13 in the second quarter, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored another 22 points!
At halftime, the scores of the two teams were still slightly stale, and the Lakers only led by 4 points at 63:59.
But Lakers fans are starting to get excited.
With 26 points in the first quarter and 22 points in the second quarter, Wang Feng's personal score at halftime had reached an astonishing 48 points, almost reaching the feat of 50 points in the half.
But that's not the key, it's the second half.
Wang Feng only needed 17 points in the third and fourth quarters to tie the Lakers' star Kobe Bryant. Bryant set a single-game record of 82 points.
Among active players, the record for the highest single-game scoring comes from the Suns' Devin. Booker, he completed the feat of 70 points in a single game when he was 17 years old, but Booker's 70 points were suspected of deliberately brushing the score, especially in the end the Suns lost the game, and in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two teams was close to 20 points.
At that time, the Celtics had replaced the bench players, while the Suns still let Booker and other main players play on the court, and the whole team was doing the ball and blocking and covering for Booker alone.
In the final five minutes, Booker scored 18 points alone, and forced the original 50 points to pile up 70 points.
Because of this, Booker's 70 points in a single game are controversial, but no matter what others say about his shameless garbage time loss, it does not affect Booker as the only player among active players to score 70 points in a single game.
Wang Feng's scoring efficiency is so high, and he has never scored 70+ points in a single game, the main reason is that when he feels like he has scored 50+ points in the third quarter of the game, usually the game has already been spent.
Regardless of whether the team was in the leading or backward stage, Wang Feng also clocked out and sat on the sidelines to rest.
Among the achievement tasks in the system, there is no task that will reward you for scoring 82 or 100 points in a single game, and Wang Feng will not deliberately brush up on the highest single game record, which is somewhat low.
Superstars such as James, Durant, and Curry may occasionally score one or two more points in order to put together beautiful statistics in a game, but they will never deliberately score points in order to break the so-called single-game scoring record, because such a record is definitely not the basis for measuring their historical status.
Not to mention these top superstars, even the Warriors' Klay. Thompson had a stunning 60-point run in the third quarter, and then he didn't play a minute in the fourth quarter and didn't care about taking the opportunity to improve his personal scoring record significantly.
Wang Feng will not and disdain to score points, but at this time, the first half has just ended, he has scored 48 points, and the scores of the two teams are deadlocked, and the Lakers need to continue to rely on Wang Feng's offensive firepower in the second half, and the situation is completely different.
He was also a little surprised, his condition today is exceptionally good, under normal circumstances, Wang Feng's performance with physical data is more reflected in stability, he rarely has a cold hand, and only scored less than 20 points or even single digits in a whole game, but it is rare to have that kind of state like Thompson.
No, there is still one, and that is after the Purple Hall of Fame-level key scorer badge was activated with the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.
……
When the game came to the second half, the Mavericks started to panic a little, they knew that they couldn't continue to let Wang Feng score like this, otherwise, with his scoring explosiveness, it would be impossible to score another 50+ points in the second half, and it would be impossible to directly score 100 points in a single game.
The biggest difference between an outside player and an inside player is the explosiveness of the score.
Although the two-point shot under the basket is stable enough because it is close to the basket, the truth that three points are always greater than two points is understood by anyone who has studied kindergarten math class.
Wang Feng is the kind of three-point shot that can be used as a two-point shot, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he may make him shoot a three-pointer.
The three-point ability value has reached 98, and Wang Feng, who is blessed with many shooting badges, is ashamed of his achievements in three-point shooting and even Curry.
In the third quarter of the game, Wang Feng's offensive pressure increased sharply, and the Mavericks couldn't care about Wang Feng's teammates.
Wang Feng was also happy, he did not force himself to score much, but calmly attracted the bag and passed the ball to assist his teammates to score.
He only hit one three-pointer three times in the entire third quarter, plus made 3 of four free throws, scored six points, and his personal single-game score came to 54 points.
Looking at this score, everyone on the Lone Ranger's side put a heart in their stomachs.
Even if in order to achieve this goal, the Lone Ranger is now more than ten points behind, but at least it prevents Wang Feng from scoring an unbelievably high score, and it can be regarded as saving the face of the Lone Ranger.
Having a player score high in front of his own team is definitely not something to brag about.
