Chapter 463: This guy is too arrogant
(There's another chapter later, it's estimated that it won't be after 12 o'clock)
Regarding how to steal the spotlight, Wang Feng could publish a book.
When he could only serve as a substitute for Barnes in the Warriors, Wang Feng began to find ways to steal the scene, and the various season mission goals of the system directly determined that he had to become the brightest boy on the court.
On the basis of the value of the ultra-high 99 overall rating, Wang Feng's expressiveness on the field is too strong, especially when the opponents are a group of role rotation players with an ability value of less than 70, the score is like chopping melons and vegetables, which shows Wang Feng's strength even more.
Wang Feng, who made his NBA debut with a beautiful tomahawk slam dunk, continued to show in front of fans unreservedly in the next few rounds.
Everyone was stunned.
Where did this yellow-skinned guy come from? That's too strong, isn't it?
Whether it is strength, speed, ball skills or other aspects, Wang Feng's level is obviously far higher than that of other substitute players, and even the standard reference with the starters feels only strong but not weak.
"Is this a delusion? The reason why this guy is so strong is because his opponent and teammates are not strong, right? ”
Many fans didn't take it seriously, even in less than 5 minutes, Wang Feng took most of the team's points and rebounds, scored 13 points and 4 rebounds, and directly reduced the original nearly 20-point difference to 30 points.
Seeing this situation, Riley, the head coach of the Knicks, was also a little speechless.
Wang Feng's debut, according to his original intention, was to familiarize Wang Feng with the rhythm of the NBA game.
After all, although Wang Feng performed well in the intra-team competition, there is still a big difference between the confrontation game and the official NBA game, the noisy environment of a large number of fans, the dazzling spotlights on the ceiling, and the sense of pressure from the opponent will greatly affect the state of the players.
According to Wang Feng, he has never participated in a professional league similar to the NBA, and with no experience in this area, it is very good to be able to play more than half of his form in his debut.
But Wang Feng did not have stage fright at all, he played like a star on the field, and successfully turned the other nine people on the field into foils.
"This guy is a basketball player born to play!"
At this moment, Riley was completely convinced that Wang Feng was indeed an excellent instant combat force and could directly help the team improve its combat effectiveness.
The only question now is when it is more appropriate to make Wang Feng the team's starter.
It can be seen from Wang Feng's playing style Riley that Wang Feng belongs to the kind of player who needs to have the ball to maximize his strength, and under the Knicks' existing tactical system, the ball has been distributed, and the sudden appearance of an offensive core that needs to hold a lot of ball on the outside is actually a headache.
Ewing's tactical position is immovable in the Knicks, so once Wang Feng needs the ball, the most affected is the Knicks' outside core player John. Starks.
In fact, Starks' expression on the sidelines was not very good at this time.
As a fellow outside player, Wang Feng is more efficient than him in both holding the ball and shooting from a distance, and he is far worse than Wang Feng in terms of rebounding protection and defense.
The previous confrontation between Sax and the team had not yet reacted, but at this time, looking at the cheers of the home fans after Wang Feng successfully scored a beautiful goal every time, he really felt the threat.
As the head coach, Riley, who was aware of this problem earlier, not only has to deal with the distribution of the ball within the team, but also has to do a good job of calming the mood of the team's main team.
These are not the issues that Wang Feng needs to consider, as long as the ball is in hand, Wang Feng will do everything possible to show his advantages in the spotlight, and strive to let more people see that there is a little-known, but strong terrible newcomer has been born!
……
About 8 minutes into the third quarter, Wang Feng was replaced.
It's not because Wang Feng didn't play well, on the contrary, he played too hard.
In the 8 minutes he played, Wang Feng made 8 of 10 shots, including 5 of 6 three-point shots, scored 21 points and 6 rebounds, and directly reduced the 20-point difference to nearly 40 points in one go.
Riley is a little worried, continue to let Wang Feng play, the Timberwolves will lose this game by 50 points to end.
Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future, this game itself has lost its suspense early, and there is no need to torture the opponent like this.
With Wang Feng being substituted, the Knicks' home fans were a little disappointed, and some even shouted and booed their team.
Wang Feng's style of play is different from the tactics of advocating deep chiseling inside in the 90s.
The long-range shot as accurate as missile guidance, the thunderous breakthrough with the ball, and the blood-pumping violent dunk are full of ornamentation under Wang Feng's deliberate show off skills.
Knicks fans have long been accustomed to watching Ewing's clumsy bunny jumping and slow offensive rhythm with the ball inside, and Wang Feng's appearance immediately made their eyes light up, and they had the refreshing feeling of drinking a cold drink on a hot summer day.
Before they could see enough, Wang Feng had already been replaced, and no one could bear to be replaced.
The rest of the game, after returning to the slow and old rhythm of confrontation, not to mention the Knicks' home fans, even the onlookers Zhang and Su felt bored.
"How do I think that Wang Feng's level is much higher than these substitute players......" Watching the whistle blow throughout the game, and finally defeated the Knicks team with 33 points at home 121:88, Director Su couldn't help but say to Director Zhang.
"I think so too." Director Zhang had a hellish expression on his face. "Is Wang Feng so powerful?"
Although when Wang Feng showed his skills before, several people were shocked by Wang Feng's outstanding talent, but at that time, they all thought that the NBA was all this kind of genius, and Wang Feng's level could only belong to the last level in the entire NBA, otherwise how could he finally enter the NBA at the age of 30?
However, in the game just now, although Wang Feng did not compete with the main starters of the two teams, the skills and standards shown in the process of the game were even the most dazzling and top-notch among the ten starters of the two teams, better than Ewing.
“…… Or is it that the Timberwolves' bench level is too poor to give Wang Feng such a good opportunity to play? ”
Even the former professional player Coach Zhang was a little confused, and he and Coach Su looked at each other and couldn't speak.
This hearty victory gave the Knicks a six-game winning streak.
New York fans are not surprised that the team can achieve this victory, after all, the Knicks are last year's runner-up, all the way from the East to the super powerhouse, against the Timberwolves such a fish belly team to win too much.
Compared with six consecutive wins, Wang Feng, who scored 21 points and 6 rebounds in 8 minutes, made everyone remember it vividly.
Many fans didn't even remember the name and identity information that was read out when Wang Feng was introduced at the beginning, but Wang Feng's various gorgeous and elegant scoring pictures on the field were deeply engraved in their minds.
What the hell are the local sports newspaper reporters in New York going crazy? The Knicks suddenly appeared with such a player, and they didn't even hear the slightest rumor.
Almost all reporters have only one thought in their minds, they must definitely get all the information about Wang Feng as soon as possible!
At the end of the game, TNT's resident reporter did not choose to find the MVP of the game for the first time, and Ewing, who scored 24 points and 13 rebounds in the half, helped the team to establish the victory, but ran forward to stop Wang Feng, who was already preparing to return to the locker room.
"Sorry to bother, your name is Wang Feng, right? Do you know English? ”
Looking at Wang Feng's Asian face, the reporter asked this question first.
"Of course I do."
Wang Feng smiled slightly, he had been waiting for the reporter for a long time.
Hearing Wang Feng's fluent English, the reporter immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although as a TNT reporter, he is fluent in multiple Chinese, but unfortunately this does not include Chinese, because there has never been an Asian player in the NBA before, even if it is only a substitute rotation player.
"I want to briefly interview you with a few questions, first of all, I listened to the previous on-site commentary, you are from Huaguo, when did you join the Knicks? We haven't seen you on the field before. ”
"Just these days."
Wang Feng replied. "I've only been signing my contract with the team for a few days."
"These days?" The reporter looked at Wang Feng in surprise. "You were in very good shape on the court today, it took only eight minutes to score 21 points, was it because the team's huge lead made you feel relaxed, so you played at a high level?"
Wang Feng stared at the reporter speechlessly for a long time before slowly shaking his head.
"Isn't it? That's when you first appear on the NBA stage, and you will be excited. ”
The reporter said again.
"Not really." Wang Feng was a little unhappy, what the hell is this reporter? Directly define his performance as a super-level performance. "I'm just playing normally...... No, I guess I didn't give it my full strength, because the level of the opponent was a bit low. ”
Reporter: "......"
To be reasonable, Wang Feng is the most arrogant "newcomer" this reporter has encountered over the years, although Wang Feng does not look young, but this game is the first NBA game he has participated in.
The opponent is too weak, and I haven't fully played to my full strength?
Do you hear this is human talk?
Although the Timberwolves are indeed rubbish, and the players who played against Wang Feng just now are also Timberwolves' bench rotation players, and the level difference is a matter of course, but even so, they are all players who are strong enough to get a guaranteed contract in the NBA, and they are one of the best basketball players in the world.
As soon as Wang Feng said this, the reporter was choked and speechless for a long time.
"Ahem...... Well, I'm sure Knicks fans are looking forward to seeing you on the team in the future, thank you. ”
Thanks to TNT, reporters don't need to be like other tabloid paparazzi reporters who want to create topics to gain attention, otherwise they will definitely make a big article about Wang Feng's words.
It's just that if this is really the case, Wang Feng will be even happier.
Although it is a bit of hatred to be too pretending, what Wang Feng lacks most at present is not strength, but enough popularity.
People who don't have the strength are easy to be struck by lightning if they pretend to be forced by indiscriminately, but if a powerful person like Wang Feng pretends to be forced, that is, he will cross the catastrophe and ascend.
The more people who follow, the more popular Wang Feng is, and the more it will help his reputation in the alliance grow.
……
The Knicks' battle, although it can't be said that Wang Feng became famous overnight, still won a lot of attention for him, after all, even if he played on the bench, 21 points and 6 rebounds in 8 minutes is still a bit too exaggerated.
Overnight, Wang Feng's name spread among the fans of the New York Knicks, of course, the vast majority of people are wait-and-see, because just one game, it is absolutely impossible to determine the true strength of a player, who does not eat dumplings during the New Year? When you really have a blast, everyone can play like Jordan.
However, the official side of the alliance showed quite a lot of movement when they learned the news.
To be exact, it was the then NBA commissioner, David Brown. When Stern learned the news, he was completely blindsided.
Since becoming the NBA commissioner, Stern has been working to open up the potential and vast basketball market in China, and he has not hesitated to travel to China to promote NBA game tapes for CCTV.
Over the years, the NBA has always provided China with the broadcast rights of the game, and it is almost completely free.
But even so, the progress of the promotion has not improved much.
Stern has also been thinking about it, he believes that if you want to better promote the NBA in China, you must have Chinese players join the NBA.
But what is the level of basketball in Huaguo, Stern knows very well, and the current Huaguo does not have professional basketball players who can play in the NBA.
Originally, he had been worrying about this matter, and had been silently paying attention to several young and emerging players of the Huaguo Basketball National Team, such as roughly, bus, etc., but he never expected that a Huaguo player would appear in the NBA silently, and he had successfully played!
Stern didn't know that the Knicks had joined New York, and the league officials of course received the player identity registration information from the Knicks team and the players' union, but Stern didn't pay attention to this kind of trivial matter at all.
Therefore, it wasn't until Wang Feng made his debut and scored 21 points and 6 rebounds in 8 minutes that Stern suddenly realized that there was still a dark light!
He immediately called the general manager of the Knicks and asked for all kinds of information about Wang Feng in detail.
Then Stern was a little dumbfounded.
No way, Wang Feng's experience is really a bit legendary.
He was actually a street ball player dug up by Knicks' scouts in Rock Park, and Wang Feng didn't mix in Rock Park for a long time, and in less than a week, he didn't taste a defeat in the ring in Rock Park, even Alston and many other street ball masters lost to him.
What surprised Stern even more was that the general manager of the Knicks seemed to have a lot of respect for Wang Feng's skills, after all, Wang Feng was a player signed by the Knicks for a "high salary" of more than one million dollars.
