Chapter 504: Ewing, the Bearer Man

In the case of such serious interference, Wang Feng can still shoot three points in front of Jordan, although there is definitely a lot of luck in playing three points, but if you enter, you will enter, and there is no point in quibbling.

The entire Warriors' home court erupted in thunderous cheers.

The fans cheered wildly.

Refreshing! It's so cool!

Once upon a time, who would have thought that the Warriors would be able to play so heartily against Jordan's Bulls?

Who would have thought that after Wang Feng came to the Warriors from the Knicks, he would still be able to suppress Jordan on the court?

Wang Feng walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily.

In just one offset, the Warriors went from a one-point deficit to a three-point lead.

At this point, there were less than 40 seconds left until the end of the game.

Phil. Jackson called a timeout.

The next offense was crucial for the Bulls, and if they didn't make it, they would have lost the game.

And in the next offense, the Bulls must also fight for three-pointers, shoot three points to tie the score, and then defend the Warriors' last offense, so as to tie the score and play one more round of overtime to determine the final victory.

When the Bulls players heard this arrangement, they were a little silent for a while, including Jordan.

Originally, the Bulls were not a team that was good at three-point shooting, and they wanted to fight for three points at the last minute, and even if they hit a three-point shot, they had to continue to defend the Warriors' offense in order to win a chance to play overtime.

It can be seen how murderous Wang Feng's 3+1 just now is.

At this time, Rodman stopped talking.

Before the start of the game, he also swore to Jordan that he would definitely prevent Wang Feng from killing, but the result was that after throwing the free throw just now, Wang Feng's personal score in this game has come to 51 points.

He shot 56 percent from the field and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line.

Rodman's defense did not have any impact on Wang Feng in the slightest.

"This guy is really evil, and his attack is really fiercer than Michael's, where did he suddenly come from?"

Regardless, the timeout ended quickly, and the Bulls decided to leave it to Jordan to execute the crucial three-point shot.

Jordan's three-point shooting percentage this season is very good, reaching 42.7%, second only to Steve, who is positioned as a pitcher. Cole.

This is mainly due to the fact that after the league shortened the three-point line, Jordan's current long two-point shooting counts as threes.

After choosing Jordan, Phil. Jackson also specifically asked Jordan.

"Michael, Wang Feng will definitely defend you for a while, if you don't think there is a good chance, you can choose to pass the ball and let Scottie (Pippen) or Steve (Cole) shoot."

Jackson's words made Jordan can't help but turn his head to look at him.

The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious, Jackson didn't believe in Jordan's ability to attack at critical moments, or under Wang Feng's defense, even Jordan's scoring ability still made him feel uneasy.

Jordan didn't speak, but when he walked on, the anger in his heart had accumulated to a critical point where he was about to explode.

It was a game that really made him angry.

was always suppressed by Wang Feng on the field, and finally was beaten by the other party with a 3+1 reversal to lock in the win, and now it is Jordan's turn to save the team, and he is questioned by the team's head coach, all because of Wang Feng.

All of this annoyed Jordan.

Especially when I think of Wang Feng's elimination in the second round of the playoffs last season, and the perfect script for his return was directly destroyed, this anger poured into my mind more and more.

Pippen served the ball from the bottom line and handed the ball directly to Jordan, who immediately saw Wang Feng who took the initiative to meet Wang Feng after receiving the ball.

"I don't know where you came from." Jordan slowly dribbled the ball, stared at Wang Feng with his eyes, and said coldly: "But you'd better remember that there is only one king in this league, and his name is Michael. Jordan! ”

Wang Feng looked at Jordan, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked. "I remember."

Jordan suddenly accelerated to break through with the ball, and the speed was as fast as thunder, Wang Feng immediately adjusted his pace and center of gravity to meet him.

But with Wang Feng's action, Jordan immediately pulled the basketball back, withdrew to the three-point line, and raised his hand to shoot.

This move is very similar to two years later, on the Finals stage, Jordan faced the Jazz team Byron. Russell's last-gasp shot.

But Wang Feng is not Byron. Russell, although he was shaken out of position a little, but relying on his super agility and explosiveness, he forcibly stopped, and then pounced in the direction of Jordan's shot.

With a 99 bounce, Wang Feng almost touched Jordan's upcoming shot with his fingertips.

At this moment, the hearts of all the players of the Bulls were hanging in their throats, and then they breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing that Wang Feng failed to block Jordan's shot.

However, Wang Feng failed to block the opponent's shot, but the defensive deterrent badge lit up at this moment.

Jordan's eyes stared at the basketball, and then he noticed the change in the trajectory of the basketball, and his face suddenly changed.

"Rebounding!"

Box ——!

The basketball bounced off the basket, and Jordan's shot was still missed!

There is no way, Jordan's long-range shooting ability is not particularly strong, coupled with the Purple Hall of Fame-level defensive deterrence interference, it is too difficult to shoot.

Rodman, who was stuck in the basket, let out a big shout, rose high on the spot, and grabbed the offensive rebound before Garnett.

I have to say that although Rodman was unsuccessful in defending Wang Feng, his rebounding in this game was really exaggerated.

So far, Rodman's total rebounding total in a single game has reached an exaggerated 18 rebounds, including 9 offensive rebounds and 9 defensive rebounds, and Garnett has exploded in rebounding.

Seeing that he failed to snatch Rodman, Garnett did not hesitate and stepped forward directly to hug Rodman for a tactical foul.

The referee's whistle blew immediately, and Rodman stepped onto the free throw line.

Although they grabbed the offensive rebound, the Bulls didn't have a look of surprise on their faces.

Rodman's free-throw level is well known to everyone, and walking to the free throw line can basically default to 2 free throws and 1 hit, and even if Rodman is lucky to hit 2 free throws and 2 free throws, it doesn't make much sense for the Bulls, because the ball belongs to the Warriors in the remaining 20 seconds of game time.

The Bulls had to foul the Warriors to the free-throw line and then move on to another three-pointer.

"Box."

Phil standing on the sidelines. Jackson was still thinking about whether to hand over the final three-point shot to Kerr, and under Wang Feng's marking, Jordan's offensive efficiency at critical moments was indeed unreliable.

But before he could think about it, the sound of Rodman's first free throw made the corners of his eyes twitch.

Well, this question probably doesn't need to be considered.

Rodman then made a second free throw to bring the gap to two points.

Garnett served from the baseline and passed the ball to Wang Feng, and Kerr immediately ran up to foul Wang Feng.

Or is it necessary to give it a try, what if Wang Feng also hit 2 free throws and 1 hit? In that way, the 3-point margin will give the Bulls hope of tying for overtime.

But Wang Feng is not Rodman.

The 95-high free throws allowed Wang Feng to easily brush and shoot two hollow free throws.

The margin was back to four points, and there were 18 seconds left in the game.

Jordan dribbled over the half court and shot again in front of Wang Feng, but when the mentality had changed, Jordan's shot was more biased than the previous shot, and this time Rodman didn't even have a chance to grab an offensive rebound, and the basketball popped out of bounds.

Although there was still time, the Bulls still chose to give up, they watched Wang Feng stand still and not act after receiving the ball, quietly waiting for the last few seconds of the game.

"Squeak——!

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Wang Feng bent down and put the basketball on the ground, with a smile on his face.

The stadium erupted in cheers.

Fans at the Warriors' home court cheered loudly as their team's victory over the Bulls, who had been unbeatable in the regular season so far.

On the Bulls' side, Jordan didn't say a word and turned his head towards the players' tunnel.

In this duel with Wang Feng, he lost again.

Although it was just an innocuous regular season win, it was indeed an unbearable outright defeat for the arrogant Jordan.

In fact, in this game, Jordan's performance was good enough, shooting 14 of 31 from the field, shooting 45% from the field, 7 of 8 free throws, and scoring 35 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

But it's still the same sentence, everything is afraid of comparison.

Jordan's 35+7+6 data, compared with Wang Feng, immediately inferior.

Wang Feng shot 18 of 32 in the whole game, shooting 56% from the field, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 12 of 14 free throws, and scored 53 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in a super quasi-triple-double data.

Jordan can be said to have once again lost to the opponent in the scoring field he is best at, and the Bulls lost this game in a row, and actually ushered in a three-game losing streak.

You must know that so far in the regular season, the Bulls have only lost a total of 6 games in this game, and they have lost 3 games in a row in this week alone, which has dealt a heavy blow to the Bulls, who have been soaring all the way to the record.

Everyone who followed this battle of focus was shocked by Wang Feng's brutal performance.

In the face of Rodman, Pippen, and Jordan, the three top defenders in the league, Wang Feng was able to cut 53+12+8 in a single quarter, and his personal performance suppressed Jordan in all directions, and finally scored 3+1 in front of Jordan to lay the foundation for the team.

The victory in this game is really full of gold, and after the first battle, Wang Feng has countless fans, and many passers-by and fans are impressed by Wang Feng's super personal strength and become his supporters.

At the same time, the Warriors' defeat of the Bulls also successfully made the whole league realize that the Warriors' ability to take the top spot in the West is not just a matter of luck, they really have the quality of a top team, even if it is a team that has only just rebuilt.

……

A few days later, the results of the second round of All-Star voting were announced, and Wang Feng's votes in the second round of voting skyrocketed, although he still failed to surpass Hill in the total number of votes to become the All-Star voting king, but he was proud in the West, and the vote rate steadily suppressed Barkley, Olajuwon and others.

If the All-Stars at this time distinguish the East and West Ticket Kings according to the rules of the Future League, then Wang Feng is the West Ticket King and will become the captain of the Western All-Stars.

The starters of the East and West of the '96 All-Star Game were officially determined as the voting results were announced.

The starting five on the Western side are guard Jason. Kidd, Clyde. Drakes, forwards Wang Feng, Charles. Barkley, center Hakim. Olajuwon.

The starting five in the East is guard Anfernee. Hardaway, Michael. Jordan, forward Grant. Hill, Scotty. Pippen, center Shaquille. O'neill.

It is worth mentioning that Ewing, the star of the Knicks, lost to O'Neal and Mourning in this All-Star vote, and could only be relegated to the third place in the Eastern Center.

Ewing's competitive form this season has declined slightly compared to last season, so far, he has averaged 22.3 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and all statistics have declined compared to last season, including shooting percentage, which was stable at 50% shooting last season, and has also dropped to 46.6% this season.

While the decline is not significant, Ewing is still one of the league's top centers.

But the question is, who made you get the highest salary in the league?

With an annual salary of $18.72 million, it is almost twice as much as Drexler, who ranks second in the league in terms of salary!

Let's compare, Wang Feng, who currently averages 38 points per game plus a triple-double per game, has an annual salary of 8.36 million.

Jordan, who averaged 34 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, has an annual salary of $3.85 million.

O'Neal, who averaged 26.6 points and 11 rebounds per game, $5.7 million.

And Olajuwon, whose average data is close to O'Neal's and also won a championship for the team, has an annual salary of $5.31 million.

Why do you have such a high salary in the league's first year?

In particular, the Knicks have a dismal record this season, currently only 25-19, only in fifth place in the East.

Whenever New York Knicks fans see the Warriors flourishing under the leadership of Wang Feng, they can't help but spill their resentment on Ewing.

"If Ewing hadn't asked for a big contract in the summer, the Knicks could have kept Wang Feng, even if Wang Feng was given 8 million to renew his contract and 10 million to sign Ewing, the current team would not be like this."

In fact, Ewing was also quite wronged, when he negotiated the contract with the Knicks, Wang Feng had already reached a signing agreement with the Warriors and confirmed that he had no idea of staying in the team.

But now it looks like he forced Wang Feng away for a big contract.

Such a trend of public opinion is actually carried out by the Knicks by default.

failed to keep Wang Feng, this pot is actually the Knicks management.

They still misestimated the value of Wang Feng and were reluctant to keep Wang Feng with a high salary, because in their plan, they were more inclined to leave enough salary space to compete for Jordan, whose contract was about to expire.

Who would have thought that Wang Feng would be so fierce that even Jordan was not an opponent?

It's too late to regret it now, and the Knicks, who don't want to be accused by fans of making mistakes in decision-making, can only secretly guide public opinion and let Ewing be the poor backstabber.

No way, who made you want a high salary? The $18.72 million was not particularly happy for the Knicks at the beginning, and Ewing was also a little suspicious of taking credit for the championship, which really belonged to a willingness to fight and a wish.

The league's highest salary has earned you, isn't it natural to be scolded for the team?
