NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 19 You score!

The game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers will be played at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland, home of the Cavaliers, on February 2.

As Wang Feng expected, the coaches and players of the two teams attached great importance to this game.

Cole has made sufficient preparations before the game and has repeatedly emphasized that this game must be won.

"The team in the Eastern Conference that is most likely to enter the finals is the Cavaliers. We must win this game! With the double-kill record in the regular season and the opponents in the playoffs, we can take the lead in terms of momentum!"

Head coach Cole attaches great importance to this game, and all members of the team are trying their best to win this game.

However, after the game started, things did not develop as expected.

Splash Brothers Curry and Thompson, as the Warriors' strongest firepower output point, felt cold at the beginning of the game, and they missed many shots.

On the other hand, James of the Cavaliers performed quite strongly. He scored 13 points in the first quarter and 11 points in the second quarter. He scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the half game!Whether it is Barnes, Green or Iguodala who came off the bench, they are completely unable to effectively limit James' performance!

Under the ebb and flow, at the end of the half, the score of the two teams was 61:48, and the Warriors were 13 points behind in the away game.

The point difference is not so big that there is no way to catch up, but the team has problems on both offensive and defensive ends, which makes Cole quite anxious, and he can't even think of a solution!

The touch of Curry and Thompson can only be regained slowly, and James...is there a player in the league who can guard against James?
In the locker room, Cole glanced at the players involuntarily, scanned them one by one, and finally stopped at Wang Feng for a moment, sighed and shook his head.

In the first two games, Wang Feng's excellent performance is still fresh in his memory, especially his single defense ability, which is even better than Green and Iguodala.

But to let Wang Feng defend James, he still has no confidence.

James is not Anthony. Although the two came from the same draft, they are almost equal in terms of offensive ability at their peak, but their playing styles are completely different.

Although Anthony has good strength, he is more willing to rely on skills and shooting, so he is called an offensive kaleidoscope.

James is different!

After being in the league for many years, the discussion about James' ugly playing style has never stopped. His best and most efficient way of scoring is to use unreasonable and unreasonable power to rush to the basket like a bulldozer!
Facing James, most of the outside defensive methods are ineffective. Compared with players with excellent outside defensive ability, it is a better way to hoard a heavy center inside.

Wang Feng's own strength is not very good, no matter how good his defensive skills are, he can't guard against James!
Because of this consideration, Cole never let Wang Feng play in the first half of the game.

But he is not planning to not play Wang Feng for the whole game.

Putting aside the problem of defending James, the Cavaliers' defense against their own team can be described as very targeted. Whether it is Curry or Thompson, the chances of shooting are very poor. Too late to open.

The strikers Barnes and Green had a lot of chances on the outside, but in the first half, one of them made 3 of 1 shots and the other made 4 of 0 shots. If it weren't for the power forward David Lee who came off the bench, he would feel hot. The team scored frequently inside the line, and the point difference between the two teams has long been widened!

The top priority for the Warriors right now is to get back the offensive rhythm!

"Wang Feng."

Thinking of this, Cole turned his head to look at Wang Feng, and said in a deep voice: "In the second half of the game, I want you to play! You don't need to guard James to death, but when you are on the court, if there is an open three-pointer, you must make the ball Hit! Can it be done?"

"Of course!"

Without hesitation, Wang Feng immediately nodded in response.

Hearing that the head coach actually asked Wang Feng at such a time, everyone in the locker room had different expressions.

"Coach, let me come in the second half! I can do it!"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Wang Feng turned his head to look, and it was actually Barnes who spoke.

Obviously, he felt threatened!Threat from Wang Feng!
"You can do it?" Cole shook his head without thinking, "In the first half, the Cavaliers defended Steve and Clay strictly. You got a lot of shots from the outside, but you only took shots. 3 times, why?"

"I..." Barnes opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"The team has no time and patience to wait for you to find confidence and feel! If you continue like this, you will only lose this game!" Cole said coldly: "I need someone who can break the current situation! Wang Feng has 100% three-point shooting in two games! I believe he can do it!"

Seeing Barnes sitting back with a dark face, Wang Feng was secretly happy.

Steve Kerr, who learned from the famous Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, has the same coaching habit as his mentor, which is to reuse role players.

Although the Spurs used the GDP combination as the absolute core back then, a group of excellent role players also contributed a lot.

Kerr is deeply influenced by Popovich and also likes to reuse role players.

In the past few years when the Warriors were the strongest, although the outstanding performance of the Splash Brothers is very important, role players such as Iguodala, Livingston, and McGee have also contributed a lot.

Even Cole in the post-Warriors period was criticized for this, because the four-star Warriors who already had Durant at that time were already invincible. Even if Curry, Durant and Thompson took turns in singles, they could easily win the game. Cole still likes to try to reuse role players, and even loses some games that should not have been lost because of this.

Wang Feng doesn't know whether this coaching style and habits are right or wrong, but obviously, at present, this style has given him rare opportunities!
If Cole had just told him to find a way to prevent James from being killed, Wang Feng probably wouldn't be able to do it.

The four defensive badges owned by Wang Feng are all skill badges for defending outside shooting. They are of no use against James!The defensive deterrence badge is a bit better, like the death coil badge, it only takes effect when defending from the outside, and it won't even activate when it comes to the inside!
Ke Keer's request was that Wang Feng should come on the field and shoot three-pointers!

After the last game, Wang Feng's three-point shooting ability has been increased to 90 through free distribution of attribute points!Coupled with the addition of the three badges of corner three-point shooter (purple), catch and shooter (silver), and quick shooter (bronze), the three-point shooting ability of the corner position alone is no longer afraid of anyone!
