Chapter 404: The difference in strength is too large

When Wang Feng's entire body was completely removed from Luo Yinsi. The moment O'Neill's side passed, the latter turned around and chased after Wang Feng in vain as if he was aware of it.

As for the Jazz's interior line, Gobert seems to have judged this result in advance, and he has already stood under the basket one step earlier.

At 2.16 meters, Gobert is tall and has long arms, and although he will have some problems with slow pace when he is defending big and small, he is the top interior defender in the league after all.

Wang Feng is confident that he can force Gobert to score the ball by forcing a jump under the basket, but such a choice is risky.

One is the risk of being defended by Gobert or even wearing a big hat, and the other is the risk of injury under this intense physical confrontation.

Although Wang Feng has 99 staying power, he will try to avoid this kind of fierce physical contact attack in a fierce game like the playoffs.

If he is like alphabet brother Antetokounmpo, fat tiger Zion. Williams is a player who is not good at shooting and can only rely on rushing to the basket to score, but his three-point and mid-range shooting ability values are obviously higher than those under the basket, and most of the badges are also shooting types, so there is no need for that.

Wang Feng, who quickly rushed to the free throw line, stopped with a sudden brake, jumped off the momentum, and shot a jumper.

Gobert was far away from him under the basket, and behind him was Royins. O'Neal was a beat slower, and could only watch Wang Feng shoot and hit accurately.

"Brush!"

The basketball is neatly brushed into the basket.

Wang Feng's shooting ability value is 97 after dribbling, and the mid-range shooting ability value is 96, although the position of the selected shooting is at the free throw line, which is not in the scope of the badge hot zone hunter, but the shooting shot with the blessing of ultra-high attributes is still as stable as an old dog.

2:2。

Although it was only one offense, the head coach of the Jazz team was already a little restless.

How does Wang Feng want to target?

It's something that's been looked at across the league this season.

Super scoring ability, rebounding sense that is not inferior to interior players, and passing IQ and ability comparable to top point guards.

Wang Feng is like an invulnerable machine on the field, and he can't find any flaws.

You can pass the ball in the face of the bag, and in the face of a single defense, you can stand a little further away and raise your hand to make a three-point pull, and you can pass you if you stand too close.

This is also the reason why Wang Feng was able to exaggerate the super triple-double data of 40+13+11 per game in the regular season.

Putting aside the average triple-double per game, this average of 40 points per game alone is shocking enough, which is a miracle that Jordan, the basketball god of the year, has never done.

Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game and 40 minutes per game in a career-high season, which is already the limit of his physical ability.

Wang Feng has played an average of nearly 44 minutes per game this season, which is one of the main reasons why he can average 40 points per game.

……

The Jazz's offense is still dominated by a lot of off-ball running and passing, cutting and picking, and Mitchell, the team's first core scorer, does not have many suitable opportunities to shoot under Wang Feng's defense.

It's not like the Jazz didn't have an off-ball pick-and-roll cover for Mitchell.

However, the quality of the off-ball block itself is not as good as the blocking and dismantling effect when standing in a fixed position, and for Wang Feng, who holds the purple Hall of Fame-level badge blocking and dodging, it cannot cause any blocking effect.

Often Mitchell ran hard for a long time, and when he looked back, he found that Wang Feng was still following him closely, not leaving an inch.

This led to a total of only 3 shots and 2 points on 1-of-1 shooting throughout the first quarter.

As the Jazz's No. 1 scoring point, Mitchell can contribute an average of 26 points per game in the regular season, and in the first round of the playoffs against the Mavericks, Mitchell averaged 31.8 points per game in five games, and his performance was not inferior to Doncic on the Mavericks' side, and he was the biggest contributor to the Jazz's ability to easily enter the second round.

But now, the strongest scoring point was limited by Wang Feng's whole defense in the first quarter only scored 2 points, and the Lakers also established a lead in the first quarter, 31:27, although it was only a 4-point advantage, but this is already a good start.

As the game entered the second quarter, the Jazz began to adjust their rotation lineup. Clarkson & Joe. Ingalls appeared one after another, increasing the Jazz's offensive firepower.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Jazz team fought to catch up, and soon tied the previous 4-point difference, but the good times did not last long, with the sudden force of Wang Feng and Ingram on the Lakers' side, the Lakers directly played a wave of 12:0 attack wave, and the point difference was stretched from a tie to more than double digits in a blink of an eye.

It all happened so suddenly that the Jazz couldn't react at all.

Wang Feng first used his teammates to block and cover the three-point line, then stole Conley's pass, assisted Ingram's mid-range shot, and then hit a mid-range shot and two free throws in the two rounds, and the difference was widened.

The Jazz called a timeout urgently, but the margin that had been stretched out was barely in the single digits until the end of the third quarter, relying on the depth of the lineup during the bench rotation.

But as the game entered the fourth quarter, the Jazz completely lost hope of a comeback.

Wang Feng's title of the king of the last quarter is not in vain, 15 points in the final quarter of the game is just a standard performance, and sometimes when the hand is a little better, it is not impossible to score 15 points in the last 2 minutes.

This game didn't even wait for Wang Feng to exert his power in the last 2 minutes, and halfway through the time, the difference between the two teams returned to more than double digits again.

As the game time passed minute by minute, the Jazz, who saw that there was no hope of a reversal, could only replace all the main players and give up the game early.

The Jazz's home fans were disappointed.

They are obviously the team with the best record in the West, but why do the Lakers play more like the first team in the West?

The Jazz didn't take the lead throughout the game, and at the best of times, the score was level.

You must know that the Lakers are a remnant team, and they are missing Jimmy. Butler is such an All-Star caliber player!

But that's where the Jazz are.

The record of first place in the West is only scratching the surface.

In another time and space, the Jazz, who are also No. 1 in the West, faced the Los Angeles Clippers, who are fourth in the West, in the second round, and faced the dual-core Clippers of Leonard + George, who also lost the game, with a total score of 4:2.

It's too hard for a team that doesn't have a top superstar in terms of offense to win a championship, and the Detroit Pistons have only done it once in all the league's years.

Mitchell is of course a promising star, but he is obviously still a little too tender, he feels a lot of pressure when facing Wang Feng, many basic offensive moves are seriously deformed, and with the blessing of the purple Hall of Fame-level defensive shock badge, how can he maintain a normal shooting rate?

In the whole game, Mitchell made a total of 14 shots, hitting only 4 shots, a shooting rate of 28.5%, and got 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers, which was a completely negative performance.

The Jazz's top scorer was Bojan, who played the main forward position. Bogdanovic, who scored 21 points in the game, then Gobert's 18 points and 14 rebounds, Jordan. Clarkson's 15 points......

On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Wang Feng still scored 37 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists under the targeted defense of the Jazz team, with a shooting rate of 52% and a three-point shooting rate of 44%.

In addition to Wang Feng, players such as Ingram also played well.

The Jazz's defensive attention is mainly focused on Wang Feng's body, and he does not pay much attention to the defense of Ingram and others, who is 2.06 meters tall Ingram himself is known as Little Durant, and his mid- and long-range projection is very stable. Bogdanovic and Joe. Ingles and other forwards dominated the position, shooting 9-of-19 from the field and scoring 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

The loss of the G1 game made many people more convinced that although the Jazz team was the first in the West in the regular season, it was not enough to make a difference in the playoffs.

In fact, before the start of the playoffs, the Jazz were mostly excluded from the championship predictions.

Aside from the Nets, Bucks, Clippers, Warriors and other championship favorites, the Jazz are even below the Philadelphia 76ers and the Lakers without Butler.

The current situation does not come as a surprise to everyone, and those who have watched the whole process of the game can only sigh.

"It seems that compared with Wang Feng, the top superstar in the league, Mitchell still has a big gap."

"Mitchell, who averaged 31 points per game in the last round, could only hand over an answer sheet of 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting when facing Wang Feng, which is obviously seriously unqualified, and it is very difficult for the Jazz to go further in the playoffs in the future......

However, Wang Feng's toughness can also be seen from this game, the Jazz team's defensive system is completely built for Wang Feng. O'Neal and Gobert, who is ready to help defend at any time, form two lines of defense, but they still can't stop Wang Feng's scoring, and there may be no players in the league who can stop Wang Feng today. ”

"How to limit Wang Feng's scoring will be a question that all opponents of the Jazz and the Western Conference Finals and even the Finals must think about!"

In this atmosphere, April passed, and the May 1 series G2 continued to play at the Energy Solutions arena in Salt Lake City, the home of the Jazz.

Over the course of two days, the Jazz made some new adjustments to their tactical system and applied them in this game.

They used the trap tactic against Wang Feng.

Once Wang Feng received the ball on the outside, Bogdanovic and Royins. O'Neill will immediately carry out the bag clamping, not giving Wang Feng any time to react.

Even while the outside line was executing the trap tactic, Gobert was already waiting on the inside line to prevent Wang Feng from forcing a break through the bag under the physical confrontation with his strength.

Such extreme defensive tactics have not been used by other teams, and there are even classic examples that prove that such defensive tactics are not successful.

Wang Feng is not afraid of the bag, and his strong strength allows him to stabilize his body when facing the bag, calmly find the vacant position of his teammates and pass the ball out.

As a result, the rest of the Lakers blossomed more, and the point difference became bigger and bigger.

But even if they know this truth, the Jazz still choose to take a risk, and they fight because the other players of the Lakers do not feel as perverted and accurate as Wang Feng.

Apparently the Jazz are overthinking.

The rest of the Lakers players may have a bad hand, but Wang Feng has a badge that exists specifically for this situation, a purple Hall of Fame-level ten cents.

The effect of the ten-cent badge is to increase the opponent's shooting percentage when passing the ball to a player in the open position, and the lower the shooter's shooting ability, the higher the bonus.

With this badge alone, everyone on the team can be forcibly elevated to the level of a standard scorer, provided that the player is in an open position, of course.

Wang Feng is very aware of this, and the Jazz team's bag and trap tactics must be coordinated by two players on the outside, which will inevitably lead to a vacant state.

The Lakers' five positions, even excluding Wang Feng, the other four starters also have three-point shooting ability, including Kuzma and Lopez on the inside.

Therefore, after the Jazz team used the trap tactics, Wang Feng immediately educated the Jazz team's management with exquisite passing.

In the first quarter of the game, Wang Feng only made 4 shots, hit 2 shots, and scored 6 points on 2 free throws, but he gave out 7 assists in a single quarter.

The Lakers players who received Wang Feng's pass were like gods, how to shoot.

In the first quarter alone, the Lakers scored 39 points, while the Jazz only scored 30 points, and the margin was almost double-digit.

In the second quarter of the game, Wang Feng sent another 5 assists, and the difference between the two teams officially reached double digits.

By this time, the Jazz had sensed something was wrong and abandoned the wrap-and-wrap tactics in favor of strengthening the rest of the Lakers' defense, but it was a little too late.

As soon as the pressure on Wang Feng's defense decreased, he immediately attacked with the ball by himself, and the Jazz team that played in various scoring methods was miserable.

It's really incomprehensible.

The defense can't be defended, and there is no spear on the offensive end that can break the shield.

Mitchell played a lot better in this game than in G1, and slightly adapted to Wang Feng's aggressive defense, but only slightly adapted, and the shooting rate was still below 40%, which could not effectively help the team score.

In the end, Wang Feng scored a big triple-double of 26 points, 16 rebounds and 21 assists in a single game, setting a new record in the playoffs and becoming the first player in history to score 25+15+20 in a single game in the playoffs.

It is not uncommon for a single game to break 20 assists in the league's playoffs. Johnson did it 10 times in his career.

"Heaven Descends"

John Brown, who is the No. 1 assister in all time. Stockton also reached 20+ assists per game four times, and once recorded 23 points and 24 assists.

But while scoring and assisting 20+, he can also reach more than 15 rebounds, which has never been done in the history of the league!

Wang Feng quietly set a new league record, and at the same time sent a 0:2 score to the Utah Jazz.
