Chapter 433: Is the Knights Really a Civilian Lineup?
Wang Feng's blocking ability value has been strengthened several times, and it has now reached 82 points, which is quite high as a striker.
At the same time, Wang Feng also has a block-type badge Chasing Master, which has the effect of instantly enhancing the player's speed and jumping ability when the player chases and defends an offensive player and prepares to block.
Wang Feng's badge was not of a high level, and when he first got it, it was only the lowest level of bronze, but with years of competition and training, the initial bronze badge has also been strengthened to silver.
This is the only silver badge on Wang Feng's current badge wall, and the other low-level badges have all completed various exercises and achievements in daily competitions and evolved to the gold all-star level.
But don't underestimate the silver badge, but any badge will take effect on the field, it's just a difference in the strength of the effect.
Wang Feng's speed and bounce itself are among the top in the league.
The speed and agility have all reached 94, and the bounce is also 91, and after the strengthening and blessing of the hat chasing master badge, it is even faster and amazing, and the ability to chase the hat and block is even better than James!
Owen didn't notice Wang Feng who suddenly shot out of the air, and was caught off guard and was directly pressed down by the pegboard hat.
Wang Feng pressed the basketball directly on the rebound in the air, then grabbed the basketball to the ground, turned his head and ran towards the front court.
Aggro!
The Nets, who had an unstable foothold, hurriedly returned to defense, but only George could barely keep up with Wang Feng.
Not only do the Nets' two interior players have no advantage on the inside, but they are also extremely slow to move and can't help at all with quick offensive and defensive transitions.
Carrying George's defense, Wang Feng jumped directly into the free throw line and finished with a powerful tomahawk dunk.
The fans cheered thunderously.
Irving was deflated and was sent to a super hot pot by Wang Feng, which is undoubtedly the most popular scene for Cavaliers fans.
And listening to the gloating laughter of the Cavaliers' home fans, Irving was even more upset.
For the next few rounds, Irving kept attacking with the ball, trying to shut up the Cavaliers fans with his scores.
But Cavaliers head coach Bickerstaff was duly substituted for Gary. Peyton II.
Gary. Peyton II was a good successor to his father, Gary the "Glove". Payton's talent on the defensive end, although inconsistent on the offensive end, is outstanding on the outside.
Unlike his Bangyan father, Gary. Payton II's career was not smooth, he participated in the draft in 16 years but was undrafted, and then many teams in the league had to sit on the bench.
For the 2021-22 season, it was Gary. The period of Peyton II's rise, if not Wang Feng, Gary. Payton II is expected to play the best of his career with the Golden State Warriors, as an important role rotation player for the Warriors, averaging 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per game during the regular season and eventually winning a championship with the team.
Because of Wang Feng, Gary. Peyton II was cut off to the Cavaliers, but it was a good thing for him.
On the Warriors, Gary. Payton II could only serve as a backup for Curry and Poole, playing less than 20 minutes.
But with the Cavaliers it's different.
Although the same has to be with Poole, Seth. Curry competes for playing time, but the first two are completely incomparable to Curry's playing time, and because of his outstanding defensive ability, Gary. Peyton II always gets a chance to play at a certain point in time, like now.
Sensing that Irving was the center of gravity, Bickerstaff directly asked Gary to do so. Payton II came on to defend Irving.
Gary is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms. Payton II is physically strong, strong in confrontation, in the limited playing time, he is very eager to show his value, defending Irving naturally spares no effort, and actually has a Beverley feeling.
Even an offensive master like Owen, in Gary. Payton II's offensive efficiency also plummeted, and he continued to miss shots.
"Abominable ......"
Seeing the team continue to fall into passivity, Durant irrepressibly felt a sense of powerlessness.
Why is this the case every time I fight against Wang Feng?
If it's just Wang Feng, the problem is that it's like this every time.
What kind of stinky fish and shrimp are these players on the Cavaliers? Poole, Bain, Gary. Payton II, Durant didn't even know their names before, why can these guys score under the team's defense, and look more relaxed than he can score?
Why is it that a little-known nobody, who has not even played a few serious games before, can bring All-Star Kerry. Owen defense's efficiency plummeted?
Irving's problem certainly isn't just for Gary. Payton II, who was ordered by Wang Feng and booed by the Cavaliers' home fans, had long made him impetuous, lost a lot of patience on offense, and his choice of shot was relatively reluctant.
If the game had been played on the home court of the Nets in Brooklyn, Irving would have played much better than he has now.
But it doesn't make much sense to say that now.
Durant can only keep scoring and bite the score of both teams as much as possible.
But under Wang Feng's offense and organization, the Cavaliers' offense was carried out in an orderly manner, and the scores of the two teams began to be gradually expanded.
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams fought to 31:28, and the Cavaliers led by 3 points at home, but then in the second quarter of the game, the difference began to gradually widen, and at the end of the half, the score had become 65:55, and the difference had widened to double digits.
Such a score made the media who followed this focus battle a little dumbfounded.
The fully healthy Nets will play like this against the Cavaliers? What kind of plane?
The Nets' Big Three were the only one in which Durant continued to play normally, and both Irving and George were not in good shape, neither of them scored in double figures at halftime, and shot less than 40% from the field.
Could it be that this Cavaliers, who are all marginal role players except for Wang Feng, are really that strong?!!
……
The game quickly entered the third quarter.
Durant, who realized that he was really finished without doing anything, broke out strongly, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, and forcibly chased the difference back to within 5 points with his personal ability.
But the Nets have Durant, and the Cavaliers also have Wang Feng.
In the offensive system of the Cavaliers, Wang Feng occupies an extremely important core position, or in other words, the reason why the Cavaliers can be so calm on the offensive end is entirely due to Wang Feng.
Now Wang Feng's style of play has gradually moved closer to Green's direction.
It's not that Wang Feng is playing more and more like Green, but Wang Feng will be like Green many times, standing at the top arc position with the ball and waiting for his teammates to run and issue cards online.
The reason why Green can play in the Warriors is because of his excellent defensive ability, but the more important reason is that Green can be used as an offensive initiator on the offensive end to carry the ball, covering the two guards of the Splash brothers, Curry and Thompson, to run without the ball.
While Green's on-the-hook behavior of standing at the top of the arc is always being ridiculed right now, it's definitely the best fit for the Warriors' roster.
Wang Feng stands at the top arc and holds the ball and discards in the same way, but it is a completely different concept from Green.
The difference between the two in three-point shooting ability is destined to be different in concept.
When Wang Feng holds the ball and stands at the top of the three-point line, the attention of the opponent's whole team will be focused on him, and he does not dare to ignore any subtle action, for fear that Wang Feng will draw a cold shot to pull three points, and he is also worried that Wang Feng will break through the basket with the ball.
Last season, Wang Feng scored an average of 40 points per game in the regular season, which was already a pain in the hearts of all teams in the league, and they really didn't dare to let Wang Feng throw off his arms and score.
But Wang Feng doesn't care about this kind of highly focused defense, or he wants it to be so.
Now Wang Feng is no longer the same as before, the core of the organization + the ten-cent badge, so that he can completely score without relying on himself, and he doesn't even need to rely on his all-star level teammates to break the situation.
Lefou, Jordan. Poole, Desmond. Bain, Seth. Curry, Malik. Monk and others are extremely good three-point shooters, and their shooting percentage has also increased with the blessing of the badge.
After a month of training, the Cavaliers' tactical cooperation has gradually begun to tacitly understand, and Wang Feng is playing more and more easily on the court, even lacking Jimmy compared to last season. Butler's Lakers played even more easily.
This feeling is a bit of a return to the basics in martial arts.
When the internal force reaches a certain level, there is no need for any gorgeous and complex moves, and a simple single move will also have huge lethality.
Wang Feng's average data so far this season is not as good as last season, although the assists have increased slightly but are very limited, and the scoring average has dropped from 40+ to 35+ per game, but he has played far easier than last season, playing time has been stable in the early 40 minutes, and he does not need to fight until the last minute in every game.
I have to admit that the two core badges of the organizational core and the defensive core are really good for the strengthening and blessing of the team.
At the time of the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Feng had already experienced it in the Chinese men's basketball team, and now his teammates have changed to the NBA level, and the effect is even more obvious.
Within the Cavaliers team, currently Jordan. Poole, Desmond. Bane and Kevin. Lefu's ability value is relatively close, Wang Feng estimates that they are all in their early 80s, and I have the impression that after he crossed the previous 2K22 update ability value, the ability value of the three people is above 80.
At the same time, with the blessing of the two badges of the organizational core and the defensive core, the average ability value of the three is close to 85, and the ability value alone is definitely an All-Star level player.
In addition to these three, other players on the Cavaliers, such as Jarrett Brown. Aaron, Seth. Curry, Otto Jr. Porter, Malik. Munch, Gary. Players such as Peyton II have most of their ability values between 75-78, and they can barely reach the tail of 80 after strengthening!
This is terrifying, which means that as long as Wang Feng is on the field, the Cavaliers have 80+ ability values for all members, including the bench.
The lineup that seems weak to the outside world actually has extremely exaggerated and terrifying strength!
After all, the Nets they are playing against at this time, in the starting lineup, Durant has an ability value of 96, George 89, Irving 91, and everyone else has only about 70 overall ratings.
Blake. Griffin's ability is 76, and LaMarcus, who missed this game due to injury. Aldridge's overall statistic rating is 79, which is the highest among the Big Three.
In this comparison, what else does the Nets have more advantage than the Cavaliers?
For this Cavaliers team carefully built by Wang Feng, the only problems that exist are that the lineup is not enough running-in, there are too many young players, and there may be some hidden dangers in the playoffs.
Straight to the point.
Because of the above reasons, Wang Feng can save physical energy very calmly in the game, and even sometimes can be used as a fixed-point three-point shooter to attract defense outside the three-point line and create a better offensive environment for his teammates.
Therefore, in the third quarter, Durant broke out strongly, and Wang Feng immediately fought back.
Wang Feng, who has three fatigue badges in hand, is already the best in the league in terms of physical fitness, and it is no problem to play the whole game, let alone now?
As soon as Durant scored a mid-range jumper, Wang Feng immediately responded with a step-back three-point shot.
Durant hit outside the three-point line, and Wang Feng immediately held the ball to break through the strong basket and make a foul to make it 2+1.
In the entire third quarter, Durant scored 17 points, and Wang Feng also scored 15 points, showing no weakness.
Durant, who desperately narrowed the gap to less than 5 points, could only watch in despair as the score returned to double digits before the end of the third quarter, all to no avail.
By the fourth quarter of the game, Irving's mentality, which had always been loudly "greeted" by the Cavaliers' home fans and carrying out various Zuan outputs, had completely exploded.
About three minutes into the fourth quarter, Irving hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then vented as if he made a provocative gesture to the fans outside the court, and was immediately whistled by the referee.
Owen, who was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, immediately argued with the referee, and then was honored to get another whistle and was blown off the field.
With Irving off the court, the Nets began to collapse completely.
Durant had been scoring consistently, scoring 37 points in the third quarter, and by the fourth quarter, his fitness had bottomed out, and his efficiency had begun to decline.
George picked up a little and began to help Durant share the pressure on the offensive end, but it was too late.
114:107。
The Cavaliers won the battle of the spotlight with a seven-point win over the Nets at home.
As the whistle blew for the end of the game, Durant immediately left the court with a grimace and did not give an interview to reporters.
His stats were finally fixed at 44 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
44 points was his new season high, but Durant was not happy at all, because even with his desperate score, the team still lost the game to the Cavaliers, who were on a civilian lineup.
