NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 34 Fans: It's time for Wang Feng to start!
As expected of the head coach, the level of speech is very high.

Obviously, Barnes was transferred from the starting position to the bench, but it can be said as if he has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

That's right, for a team with a strong level, substitute players are also very important. A player who has starting strength but comes on the bench during substitute time can increase the upper limit of a team visible to the naked eye.

The most typical example is Manu Ginobili of the Spurs.

The famous Yaodao definitely has the strength to become a starter, and even if he has enough ball possession and shots, he will have no problem becoming an All-Star player.

But in the Spurs, Ginobili has always acted as a substitute sixth man, often using his excellent personal ability to build an advantage for the team when the two teams come off the bench.

Duncan is one of the greatest power forwards in history, and the head coach Popovich is indeed talented, but the Spurs have won 50+ games in the regular season for decades, Ginobili, who is sitting on the bench The main thigh also contributed a lot!

It's just... How many Ginobilis have there been in the history of the league?
The purpose of the vast majority of players playing in the NBA is to gain higher prestige and earn more money!

No matter how good a substitute player is, how much contract can he get?

For Barnes, next year will usher in his contract year, and the remaining games of this season, and even next season, are opportunities for him to strive for a big contract!
However, he is powerless to fight against the head coach's arrangement. In the final analysis, he is just an ordinary player in the Warriors team, and he has no capital and qualifications to question the coach's arrangement at all.

"Okay, coach..."

Barnes almost forcibly gritted his back molars, barely saying this.

……

The game between the Warriors and the Mavericks is about to start, and the live DJ begins to introduce the players.

The home court of the Golden State Warriors is almost full of fans. This season, the Warriors have risen completely, with an impressive record in the regular season. The Splash Brothers also played a gorgeous fast-break rhythm, which naturally attracted a large number of fans.

"The starting small forward of the Warriors is 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 98 kilograms! A player from Huaguo, No. 33! Wang Feng!"

Accompanied by the high-pitched shouts of the DJ on the scene, Wang Feng slowly trotted out from the player tunnel, and clapped hands with the Warriors players on both sides of the tunnel.

The fans and spectators at the scene were all stunned, but the vast majority of fans supported the adjustment of the lineup by the head coach Cole.

"Will Wang Feng start this game?"

"That's right! Wang should have started a long time ago! His three-pointers are so accurate, and his perimeter defense is also top-notch. It's too wasteful to let him play as a substitute!"

"That bastard Harrison should have rolled to the bench long ago! Look at how he's been doing lately! He's shooting less than 35% per game? Wang Feng's three-point shooting percentage is close to his overall shooting percentage More than double the rate!"

Golden State Warriors fans loathe the poor Barnes and love the efficient Wang Feng.

California itself is the region with the largest number of Chinese in the United States. The permanent population of San Francisco, where the Warriors are located, is close to 80, of which 18 are Chinese.

These are Wang Feng's advantages in the Warriors!Of course, the main reason why Wang Feng was able to serve as the starter smoothly was that his strength and efforts were recognized by Cole, otherwise the other things would be meaningless.

Just like at the very beginning, another Wang Feng who has not yet crossed over and obtained the system is almost on the verge of being cut off by the team!

In the NBA, strength is the criterion above all else!

……

After a brief warm-up, the game officially begins!
The Warriors' opponent in this game is the Mavericks from Dallas.

The Dallas Mavericks, the 2011 championship team, are now gradually beginning to decline.

The team lineup is aging, the core player Nowitzki is 37 years old, and the team that won the championship is basically dismantled.

This season, the Mavericks' record remains at around 50%. The top scorer in the team is star guard Monta Ellis, who can contribute 18.9 points per game and shoot 44.5% from the field.

Speaking of which, Ellis has a deep relationship with the Warriors. Since joining the NBA through the NBA draft in 05, Ellis has been playing for the Warriors. In the peak season of 09-10, he averaged 25.5 points per game for the team. Points 5.3 assists 4 rebounds!It was the boss of the Warriors at the time. At that time, Curry had just entered the league and was still the younger brother of Ellis.

However, as a combo guard, Ellis has conflicts with Curry, and his own technical characteristics have great limitations. In order to strengthen Curry, the Warriors chose to trade Ellis to the Bucks in 12, in exchange for blue-collar center Bogut and Curry. Captain Jackson.

Without Ellis' suppression, Curry grew rapidly in the following seasons, and his personal data continued to rise. Today, in just 2 years, he has become a popular candidate for the regular season MVP!
As the boss of Curry at the time, Ellis' situation was not so good.

After an unsatisfactory season with the Bucks, Ellis opted out of his contract and signed a three-year, $2500 million contract with the Mavericks.

2500 million in three years is definitely not a big contract for a player who averages 20+ points per game.

Alice, who was standing on the field, looked at his younger brother Yuhi who was so beautiful, how could he not have any thoughts in his mind?
But this is the NBA, strength means everything!
At the beginning of the game, Mavericks center Chandler jumped the ball to win. After receiving the basketball, Ellis dribbled the ball for half court, and then looked at Wang Feng standing in front of him with a slightly startled expression.

It seems that in this game, Cole is going to let Wang Feng guard him.

After a few games, Wang Feng is no longer that unknown unknown to most teams.

Accurate corner three-pointers, excellent perimeter defense, and an average of nearly 3 steals per game, Wang Feng has gradually been targeted by NBA teams and analyzed technical characteristics.

Before the game started, the head coach of the Mavericks had already explained that he should try to avoid a one-on-one confrontation with Wang Feng.

But having said that... Ellis still wants to give it a try!
Ellis, whose main offensive method is breakthrough, the speed of the first step of breakthrough is the top in the league!
Even though he is a little older now and his explosive power has declined, it is still very difficult to guard against!

But Wang Feng followed!Although it was a bit reluctant to follow, Wang Feng posted it in time at the moment Ellis broke through.

Death Coil Emblem Activated!
Ellis's speed is extremely fast, but in order to ensure his speed, his body is thin and weak, and his strength and confrontation ability are insufficient. This is the main reason why he averaged only 25 points per game even at his peak.

What he fears the most is a shot after a physical confrontation.

Under the entanglement of the death-coiled badge skills, Ellis could only barely rush to the basket to throw a shot, and the shot was outrageously deflected by Wang Feng's defense.
