Obviously, in the direct confrontation of the four centers, Ewing lost again.

This is actually not surprising, is Ewing strong or not? Of course very strong, as a center forward, Ewing's individual quality is definitely historic.

However, there are three monster-like centers at the same time as him, although Ewing is known as the four major centers with them, and they are all NBA champions, and they are the absolute main core and boss of their respective teams, but Ewing is still slightly inferior in comparison.

Olajuwon and O'Neal, in particular, have outdone Ewing in terms of technique and the other have a physical advantage.

If one takes a closer look at the battles between the four centre-forwards, they will find that Ewing is not as good as the opponent in terms of wins and stats, no matter who of the three they face.

In this game, O'Neal scored 12 fewer points than the opponent with exactly the same number of shots, which is a vivid example.

O'Neal was 9-of-15 from the free-throw line and Ewing was 6-of-7.

……

Ewing and the Knicks lost, but Wang Feng didn't.

In this game, he once again educated the Jordan successor Hardaway, who was in the limelight.

Hardaway, who shot just 28.6 percent from 4-of-14 shooting, had just 13 points, two rebounds and four assists in the game, along with five turnovers.

It's just that the Magic team has made a big move, and the outside player Denis. Scott had a blast of his hand, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists on 9-of-18 shooting, which became a key factor in the Magic's victory.

Wang Feng's main job in this game was to blow up Hardaway, and he symbolically scored 28 points and 10 rebounds.

He never fought for anything, nor did he question the team's tactical arrangement and the decision to distribute the ball at the last moment, because Wang Feng knew very well that someone was more anxious than him, and there was never a shortage of people in this world who liked to meddle and point fingers.

Sure enough, with the Knicks' loss to the Magic, many sports media have mercilessly publicly criticized Knicks head coach Riley for his poor tactical command in the game.

"We can see that the two games that the Knicks lost, whether it was a loss to the Rockets or a loss to the Magic, Patrick lost against a competitor in the same position, losing to Hakim (Olajuwon) and losing to Shaq (O'Neal)."

"Why can't Riley use his brain more at this time, the current Knicks are not only Ewing a star, Wang Feng's scoring ability is not inferior to Ewing, and even the efficiency value and scoring explosiveness are even better."

"If these two games are handed over to Wang Feng at the last moment instead of Ewing, it is very likely to win these two key games!"

The local media in New York unceremoniously criticized the team's coach Part. Riley is not worth the change and the old thinking has successfully led the thinking of a group of fans.

It's just that this kind of thing has long been accustomed to by more fans.

When you win, everything is fine, and when you lose, the coach or a player is guilty.

The media always has to have something to report in order to attract the attention of the audience and readers.

The team understands this, of course, so the criticism has not had a very big impact on Riley's coaching.

……

It should have been like this.

But who let Wang Feng see similar reports?

Although he himself is not prepared to say anything about this, there are many ways to add fuel to the fire.

Wang Feng, who has been in the alliance for a long time, knows this well.

On March 2, the Knicks played at home against the Chicago Bulls.

This is the Knicks' revenge battle, after losing to the Bulls without Jordan in the Christmas game, and allowing Pippen to score 36 points, which once made the Knicks ridiculed.

Now that the Knicks are strong, they naturally want to take revenge for this arrow.

It's just that no one expected that the process of the game would be so one-sided.

At 79:101, the Knicks beat the Bulls by 22 points at home and easily slaughtered their opponents.

In this game, the Knicks had the upper hand from the beginning, and the main core of the Bulls, Scottie. Pippen shot 8-of-24 in the whole game, shooting only 33.3%, and got 19 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and as many as 8 turnovers!

This is exactly the same as it was during the Christmas War.

There is only one reason why Pippen played so badly, and that is Wang Feng.

Throughout the game, Wang Feng kept an eye on Pippen throughout the whole game, and his super defensive ability made Pippen embarrassed on the offensive end.

Unlike Grant. Hill, although Pippen is already a top superstar in the league, his scoring ability is not necessarily stronger than Hill, who is still a rookie, and more importantly, he does not have Hill's super-fast first step breakthrough speed that even Wang Feng is difficult to react to, and his offense is more based on shooting.

Coincidentally, Wang Feng is the best at defense, and it is the shooting type of player.

The Purple Hall of Fame-level Defensive Deterrence badge is really not meant to look good.

While the offensive end was completely contained, Pippen also competed with Wang Feng on the defensive end.

Pippen was one of the best outside defenders in the 90s, with 8 career selections for the best first defense and 2 selections for the 2nd defense, although he did not win the best defensive player like Jordan, but in terms of defensive strength and contribution to the team, Pippen is definitely not inferior to Jordan.

But he still couldn't prevent Wang Feng.

At this stage, Wang Feng, who is "strong in attack and weak in defense", is already invincible in attack, not to mention Pippen, even if Jordan comes, it is impossible to block it.

He has too many offensive means, he can prevent me from shooting three points and can't prevent me from breaking through with the ball, and if I can't prevent me from breaking through with the ball, I can force it forward with my strength, if it's comparable to me in terms of strength, then I can also teach you to be a man with a back-to-back jumper in one hand.

After the whole game, Wang Feng shot 13 of 15, 6 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws to score 36 points, 11 rebounds and 5 steals.

At the post-match press conference, Pippen said this in front of the reporters' long guns and short guns.

"Wang Feng is really strong, even when I faced Michael when I was training in the team, I didn't feel such an almost suffocating oppression, because Michael's three-point is not so threatening, I just need to guard against his breakthrough and mid-range shot."

"But Wang Feng is different, when he holds the ball, I don't know how to deal with it at all, I am afraid that he will shoot three points, and I am worried that he will break through with the ball, I feel that no matter how I stand, it will give the opponent a chance, in fact."

"If I play against the Knicks next time, I will consider teaming up with my teammates to contain Wang Feng and curb his scoring."

In the battle with the Bulls, Wang Feng's strong dominance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was vividly displayed, and the super terrifying and efficient scoring efficiency of 36 points in only 15 shots also made Knicks fans begin to realize that Wang Feng seems to be a little better than Ewing.

Because of this game, Ewing made 27 shots again, hit 11 shots, scored 23 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, and shot 40.7% from the field.

Obviously, the Bulls' center at this time is just a role player, and Weir, who averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds per game in his career. Perdo is just that, but Ewing used nearly twice the number of shots than Wang Feng to score a pitiful 23 points.

Similar images kept appearing in the following matches.

On March 4, the Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-83 away, Wang Feng shot 11 of 17, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 33 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists.

Ewing shot 9-of-20 from the field and finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.

On March 7, the Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics 115-110 at home, Wang Feng shot 10 of 14, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals.

Ewing shot 10-of-22 from the field and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line to finish with 25 points and 12 rebounds.

Although the Knicks are always winning, Wang Feng is always scoring more points with fewer shots than Ewing, and his contribution to the team's victory is significantly higher than that of Ewing, the team's core boss.

This situation has made more and more New York fans begin to realize the importance of Wang Feng in the team, and at the same time, there are more and more discussions about giving Wang Feng more balls and whether the team will become stronger.

"Wang Feng is really strong! Obviously, the average number of shots per game is about the same as Starks, but he can maintain an average of 28+ points per game, and then look at Ewing, the average number of shots per game is close to 20, and the score is barely 25 points, is the scoring efficiency of a center not as good as that of an outside shooter? ”

This comparison is not only a simple data evaluation, but also related to the degree of viewing.

Wang Feng's playing style is elegant and gorgeous, either the three points of the outside line are as accurate as a guided missile, or the lightning-like breakthrough plus the blood-boiling one-person slam dunk.

Ewing, on the other hand, is very ugly every time he attacks is to catch the ball on the inside, and then he is either fighting against the opponent's inside wrestling, or the ugly rabbit jumps and throws.

Which of the two has a better playing style, but anyone with eyes can tell the difference.

That's why the rules of basketball in the future are constantly changing like the outside and the fast-paced direction.

Stern wants to create a business league that is very spectatory, and for that, he can constantly change the rules of the NBA.

So now, the more Stern looks at Wang Feng's play, the more he likes it, Wang Feng's style of play is simply straight to his heart, even better than Jordan!

Because of this, when Wang Feng is on the field, even the whistle seems to sound more frequently than usual, but whenever he fouls a little bigger, the referee will not hesitate to immediately blow the whistle to warn, for fear that these savage players will injure Wang Feng and cause the league to lose this treasure.

Wang Feng, who was protected by Stern's father, has extremely high confrontation ability and staying power, which naturally makes him get twice the result with half the effort, and also makes him go further and further on the road of getting more points with fewer shots.

This naturally made Knicks head coach Pat Brown. Riley was under tremendous pressure.

Wang Feng's distribution of the ball and shooting rights is Riley's arrangement, and he wants to renew Wang Feng's contract more smoothly this summer.

But now, not only is the criticism from the outside world getting louder and louder, but even the league's official Stern is also hinting to the Knicks openly and secretly to increase Wang Feng's playing time and ball possession.

Riley actually understood at this time that it was basically impossible for the Knicks to keep Wang Feng this summer, unless they didn't renew Ewing's contract, or they could persuade Ewing to give up his max contract, but this was even more unlikely.

After some deliberation, Riley decided to compromise.

Since the goal cannot be achieved, it is of no practical significance to continue to suppress Wang Feng's playing time and number of shots, but it will make Wang Feng even more dissatisfied with the team.

If you can use Wang Feng's strength to win this year's championship, it will be a sure deal.

As a result, in the next game, Wang Feng's playing time began to gradually increase, and the average number of shots per game gradually equaled Ewing.

As a result, the Knicks won another wave of consecutive victories with an even more unrivaled momentum.

March 10 108-81 win over Atlanta Hawks.

March 11 96-84 win over Seattle SuperSonics.

Win over Nuggets 94-74 on March 14.

In three games, Wang Feng played an average of 35 minutes per game, made 20 shots, and could score 34.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists, with a shooting rate of 64% and a three-point shooting rate of 47%, and the high efficiency value was terrifying.

It is estimated that no one in the whole league would have thought that when Wang Feng's playing time and ball possession increased, he would become so strong! Even the number of assists is starting to skyrocket!

Purely from the perspective of on-field performance, Wang Feng's dominance is almost unmatched in the current league, even if it is the most popular this season, O'Neal, who averages 29+11+3 per game, is inferior.

Without any suspense, Wang Feng directly overwhelmed O'Neill, Olajuwon, and David. Robinson and a number of other competitors were named Player of the Week.

In '95, the league's weekly and monthly awards weren't divided into east and west, and only one player could be selected every week, which was even more competitive and golden.

Elected Player of the Week, playing extremely luxurious statistics, Wang Feng's reputation in the league rose rapidly like a rocket, and he became one of the top outside players in the league.

You must know that in the two years since Jordan retired, the league has become a world of interior players.

Last season, the top three players in the scoring list were David Brown. Robinson, Shaq. O'Neill and Hadjim. Olajuwon.

This season, the current leading players in the scoring list are O'Neal, Olajuwon, Robinson, and Karl. Malone and Ewing.

Wang Feng's appearance is like the light of the outside players, although he cannot appear on the scoring list due to the lack of appearances, but since he appeared in the NBA in early January, in the past two months, Wang Feng's average of nearly 30+8+5 per game is definitely the best among the outside players.

Originally, the heat brought by Wang Feng's super performance should last for a long time.

However, another major event caused the attention of everyone in the entire alliance to shift from Wang Feng, who had suddenly emerged.

For this incident, Wang Feng has long been mentally prepared, that is, the return of Jordan, the god of basketball.

On March 18, 1995, Jordan issued a statement through his agency, officially announcing his return to the NBA, and said that classic sentence.

"I'm back!"

As soon as this news was announced, the whole world was boiling!
