Chapter 462: Officially Debut! The killing begins!
(Because of the closure of the mask, there was no tool code word for the first two days, and the day after tomorrow will make up for the update that was missing from the previous two days.) )
Why did the Basketball Association find it?
Until he met the people from the Basketball Association, Wang Feng still didn't understand, how did they know about their own affairs?
After all, Wang Feng also knows how closed the information of this era is, if he has already played a famous role in the NBA and become a star, it is understandable to be concerned, but now he has not even played a formal game, and he is simply a nobody.
Wang Feng, who was thinking like this, saw several people from the Basketball Association team, and then was stunned to find that these people were actually old faces.
Former member of the Chinese national team, the famous Comi Zhang coach.
CCTV sports commentary consultant, who is also a former national player, is also a former national player.
In the future, the famous sports commentator should still be a reporter in Huaguo Sports News at this stage.
No matter what time and space it is, Wang Feng is very familiar with the troika of the three earliest NBA commentators, and has even been interviewed by them more than once.
It's just that at that time, the three of them were already quite young, but they all looked very young at this time.
When Wang Feng looked at everyone, everyone in the Basketball Association was also looking at Wang Feng, and they all looked surprised.
Unexpectedly, it was really a Chinese.
Although there are other countries in Asia, such as South Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, there are slight differences in appearance and appearance, which may not be the same in the eyes of white and black people, but if we look closely, we can still see some subtle differences.
It's the same thing that a lot of people look at white and black people all the same.
What surprised them even more was that after seeing them, Wang Feng was actually very proficient in Chinese as soon as he opened his mouth, and greeted them quite kindly.
"Hello Director Zhang, Director Xu, Director Su."
Listening to Wang Feng's fluent and standard Chinese, Director Zhang and the others were quite surprised.
They didn't expect that Wang Feng, who grew up in the United States, actually spoke Chinese so well, and it seems that the Chinese culture he received since childhood is very strong, no wonder he wants to return to Chinese nationality.
Several people immediately expressed their intentions, and their purpose was very simple, to confirm Wang Fenghua's identity and his ability to play in the NBA league.
Although the threshold for joining Chinese nationality is not particularly high, the requirements are not small, and you must have lived in China for more than a certain number of years or are special talents.
Wang Feng is better in line with the characteristics of special talents.
In addition, the reason why the Basketball Association arranged for Director Zhang and others to come with him also has another purpose, that is, to take this opportunity to understand the strength required to play in the NBA, such as whether Hu Weidong, the strongest player in China, has the strength to join the NBA.
As the world's highest-level basketball competition, the Basketball Association hopes to allow domestic talents to join here and further train their strength.
In fact, in the next few years, he will roughly become the first player in China and even Asia to enter the NBA, and then Battle will follow in the footsteps, followed by Da Yao, who is known to everyone in China, landed in the NBA as the champion in 2002, which completely ignited the attention and love of Chinese fans to the NBA.
……
"Oh my God......"
Shocked to see Wang Feng's almost frame-up one-handed violent buckle, Director Zhang couldn't help but marvel.
"Wang Feng, your physical fitness is too good, right? How do you do this bounce? Even if you are in the track and field and high jump teams, you can become an ace and represent the country in the Olympic Games! ”
Wang Feng used a simple display to easily suppress the former national players of Huaguo.
There was too much difference in level, and Director Zhang and several others looked at Wang Feng, who was almost indistinguishable from those NBA stars on the court, and they were completely impressed.
No wonder Wang Feng can join the NBA team to play, just this physical fitness, no one in China can match.
"Great, Wang Feng, don't worry, we will assist in communicating the nationality issue, and with your special circumstances, it should be possible to expedite it as soon as possible, and it will not delay you playing in the NBA."
Director Su, who is still working at Huaguo Sports News, said to Wang Feng: "Soon, you will become the first player in Huaguo to land in the NBA, so be mentally prepared in advance for everyone in China!" ”
Wang Feng smiled slightly, of course he knew.
Not only Huaguo, as long as the work visa issue is solved, soon the entire league, Quanmi, and even the whole world will know his name, because he will defeat Jordan, the god of basketball, and become the new god of this era!
……
The Basketball Association team then watched Wang Feng's daily training for half a day at the Knicks' court, and also visited the Knicks' arena and training facilities.
Two days later, most of the Basketball Association expedition team returned to China, but two people stayed, namely Coach Zhang and Coach Su.
Coach Zhang stayed because the Basketball Association wanted to further deepen their understanding of Wang Feng and the NBA, tried to find a path that belonged to the Huaguo Professional Basketball League, and hoped to send outstanding domestic basketball talents to the NBA for training and learning.
As a reporter for Huaguo Sports News, Su Gui briefly transferred to the NBA columnist in the United States, responsible for delivering the relevant news of Wang Feng and the NBA back to China as soon as possible.
Of course, it doesn't matter to Wang Feng, what he cares about is that his nationality has finally been greenlit all the way and has been successfully done.
With the expedited delivery of ID cards and passports from the Embassy in the United States to New York, the stadium union immediately applied for a work visa for Wang Feng and registered the player's information.
In this way, Wang Feng can finally officially land in the NBA arena!
On January 8, the Knicks faced the Minnesota Timberwolves at home.
This game is not a lot of pressure for the Knicks, because the Timberwolves are also one of the league's famous weak teams, and the current record is also the bottom of the league, and they are not competitive.
No one noticed the game, and the Knicks had a slightly out of place name on their roster.
"Wang Feng."
Even if someone notices, they won't take it seriously, after all, there are so many teams in the league, and there may be a slight change in the roster every day, but if it weren't for the trade deadline after the All-Star break, or the free market after the Finals next summer, these names that suddenly appear on the team's roster will disappear as quickly as if they never appeared.
On the night of the game, Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks, was packed.
With the tickets provided by Wang Feng, Director Zhang and Director Su, who were sitting at the front of the court, looked at the dense figures and noisy voices in the stands of the stadium in a bit of a daze, and they were a little dazed.
"This is the NBA! That's nice! ”
Although Coach Zhang has gone to the United States to study and has participated in many international competitions on behalf of the national team, he is still shocked by the warm atmosphere of the NBA at this moment.
"When will Huaguo also have such a league event?"
Not far from Director Zhang and Director Su, Wang Xu's family also sat in their seats a little restrained.
"Dad, did you say Wang Feng can play today?"
Wang Xiao couldn't help but turn his head to look at his father and asked.
Wang Xu smiled and rubbed Wang Xiao's head, "Don't worry, didn't he say it?" The coach has informed him that he will be playing for today's game. ”
As he spoke, the lights on the court gradually dimmed, and the live DJ began to introduce the Knicks' starting five with passionate voices.
Wang Feng had already arrived on the field from the players' tunnel with other teammates.
One thing to say, this kind of scene of standing on the field and watching the team's five starters introduce their debuts is a long-lost time for Wang Feng.
Because since the departure of the Warriors, Wang Feng has been firmly in the main starting position, except for a few tactical substitute appearances in the finals when he was with the Cavaliers, all of them were starters, the absolute main core, and the focus of the spotlight.
Although he successfully convinced everyone in the team's intra-team competition, Wang Feng still did not directly get the team's starting status, but Wang Feng is very sure that this day will not be long.
……
Under the passionate chanting of the DJ on the spot, Ewing, who played in the Knicks finale, waved his hands and ran out of the players' tunnel, and the atmosphere on the court was also heated to the highest peak.
After a short warm-up, the race officially began.
Ewing won with a jump ball, and the Knicks had the ball.
It can be seen that the difference in strength between the two teams is indeed huge, and the rhythm of the game was firmly held by the Knicks from the beginning.
The Knicks' main offense at the beginning of the game was Ewing, the strongest point of the team.
The Timberwolves don't have an excellent interior line, and the future Wolves king Garnett will not be selected to join the league until the summer draft, so the Timberwolves' weak interior line can't stop Ewing at all.
In the first quarter of the game, Ewing scored 12 points efficiently and led the Knicks to establish a double-digit score advantage, and the score gap in the second quarter further widened to more than 20 points.
As soon as the half-time ended, the game had already lost its suspense in advance.
Knicks fans weren't bored by this standard game of abuse, but were excited.
Winning this game, the Knicks will have won five in a row, the haze of previous losses will be swept away, and the record list will also recover to the top three in the West.
The Knicks, who are getting better, undoubtedly have the capital to compete for the championship again in the eyes of New York fans.
And the garbage time that came early also gave the substitutes of both teams the opportunity to play early.
After the start of the second half of the game, several main players played symbolically for a minute, and then went off the field one after another, and both teams tacitly switched to a full substitute lineup.
Wang Feng can finally appear!
When Wang Feng, who was wearing the No. 1 Knicks uniform, walked on the court, everyone's eyes were attracted by the yellow-skinned Wang Feng.
For some of the more attentive fans at the Knicks' home court, Wang Feng, who sat on the bench in the first two games, is no stranger to them, but they have never known what Wang Feng does.
But for the vast majority of fans who are not so serious, Wang Feng's appearance is too abrupt.
"Who is this guy? Where did it come from? When will the Knicks sign an Asian off the bench? ”
The Knicks' home commentary was also a bit confusing, but fortunately, he had detailed information about all the players on the team in front of him.
"The No. 1 player of the Knicks team is named Wang Feng, from the distant and mysterious country of Huaguo, 6.7 feet tall (2.01 meters), weighs 205 kilograms, plays as a forward, is an all-round player with excellent physical fitness, good offense and defense......"
On the sidelines, Wang Xu's family stood up excitedly and waved desperately in the direction of Wang Feng, while Director Su, who was not far away, pressed the shutter with a camera and took a picture of Wang Feng walking towards the court.
Coach Su knew that this photo would be published in Huaguo Sports News and become a milestone scene in Huaguo basketball - the first Huaguo player made his debut on the NBA stage!
At this moment, Wang Feng, who walked on the stage, was in a very calm mood, and even a little boring.
Although the whole process is a bit long, in fact, from the end of the 2022 Finals, to his time to the end of 1994, and then to return to the NBA, it is not a long time, and it is far shorter than a normal summer vacation.
Therefore, Wang Feng did not have the feeling of being on the field for a long time, and even when he looked at his teammates around him and the opponents who had just walked on the field opposite, he was even less interested.
The level is too low.
Wang Feng can't give an intuitive and pertinent answer to the question of whether the level of basketball competition in the 90s is high or low in the future, but in terms of the level of bench substitutes in garbage time, it is surprisingly similar.
Although Wang Feng can't see the specific values of the other 9 players on the field, I am afraid that there is not even a total rating of more than 70.
Wang Feng is like standing out from the crowd among this group of players, and he doesn't even have the nature of abusive vegetables.
It's just that as the first game to land in the NBA, Wang Feng will definitely not be passive and slack off, after all, he wants to play as fast as possible and win the absolute main core position of the Knicks.
The Timberwolves possessed the ball, and the bench guard got the gap with the help of his teammates' blocking and pick-and-roll cover, and shot from beyond the three-point line.
After the league shortened the three-point line, all teams increased the number of three-point shots, after all, everyone knows that 3 points are better than 2 points.
It's just that the Timberwolves bench guard doesn't feel very good, or his shooting is at this level, the basketball bounces off the frame and bounces high into the sky.
Wang Feng saw the right time, judged the landing point in advance, jumped and took the rebound, and then as soon as he landed, he immediately rushed towards the Timberwolves' backcourt.
"So fast!"
The outside players of the Timberwolves were caught off guard and hurriedly caught up with the retreat, but their speed was obviously slower than Wang Feng.
Wang Feng took two big strides with the ball, and the whole person rose into the air, and a powerful and ornamental tomahawk buckle came as scheduled!
"Boom ——!"
Wang Feng's fast attack was so fast that when the basket made an overwhelmed sound, the fans at home didn't react for a while, and they were stunned for a moment before they cheered.
"What a handsome dunk!"
"Haha! I like this guy, he has a lot of slam dunk power! ”
"Didn't you notice just now? He's so fast with his dribbles, probably even faster than Starks! ”
Substitutes for both teams: "......"
It's also a bench substitute, why are you so good-looking?
