NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 37 Playoffs!Eliminate the Pelicans in the first round!

For the team's final 68 wins, the entire Warriors team is very satisfied...except for Wang Feng.

As a traveler, Wang Feng is very aware of how strong the Warriors are this season. In the 14-15 season, they should have won 67 wins in the regular season and won the championship trophy by defeating the Cavaliers in the finals.

And now, with the addition of one more self, making the Warriors' lineup more perfect, they only won one more game?
This proves the existence of Wang Feng, and the improvement for the Warriors is limited to this.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

Wang Feng's performance is remarkable, but now he is only a role player who is positioned in 3D.

He can provide the team with better perimeter defense, provide a stable open three-pointer output, and stretch the playing space.

But it is not the core of the team!

It is Stephen Curry who determines the upper limit of this Warriors team!

In the 14-15 season, Curry was on the rise. Although he was about to win the first MVP trophy in his career, it was far from reaching the exaggerated level of Curry in the next season!
After the regular season ended, Curry's averages this season were fixed at 23.8 points, 7.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds.

This data is already very good. The scoring ranks 6th in the scoring list of the current season, but the average of 23.8 points per game is the regular season MVP with the lowest scoring average in the past ten years. The MVP of the regular season is Steve Nash, who mainly assists his teammates by passing the ball.

The reason why Curry was able to win the regular season MVP for 15 years was the team's extra points. Many people even questioned that Curry's regular season MVP was not worthy of the name, but just took advantage of the team's record. That's all, especially after the FMVP trophy was awarded to Iguodala, who averaged 16.3 points per game in the Finals.

Fortunately, Curry immediately gave the most powerful counterattack next season!
The 15-16 season was the season when Curry broke out completely. In that season, Curry averaged 11 shots from outside the three-point line, shooting 45.4%, making 402 three-pointers in a single season, averaging 30.1 points, 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game. Leading the Warriors to a shocking 73 wins in the league, breaking the regular season record of 72 wins set by Joe's Bulls!

Relying on his superb performance, Curry became the first unanimous regular season MVP in history!The only fly in the ointment is that the Warriors narrowly lost to James' Cavaliers in the finals. James completed his own redemption, while Curry missed the opportunity to further become a legend.

……

The topic is getting a bit far.

With Wang Feng, the Warriors only won one more game than without him, which just proves that for a team, there is a gap in the contribution of excellent role players and top stars.

Wang Feng is not discouraged by this, because his ability at this stage is limited, and he is already very satisfied to reach the current level with an overall rating in his early 70s.

Fatty is not made by one bite, he has more time!
Wang Feng crossed in the beginning of March 2015, and until the end of the last regular season game on April 3th, it took almost two months to participate in a total of 4 games.

In these 29 games, Wang Feng averaged about 24 minutes per game, and he could hit 6 goals with about 4 shots. Basically all of his shots came from outside the three-point line, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 66%, higher than Curry and Thompson! , Relying on this superb three-pointer, Wang Feng averaged about 12 points per game. This score is second only to Curry and Thompson in the Warriors, and it is higher than Green who averaged 11.7 points per game!
Not only that, relying on the golden interceptor badge and the basic ability value of 90 in speed, agility, and steals, Wang Feng can average 2.5 steals per game. It is a pity that he has too few appearances, otherwise he may even have the opportunity to compete for the league's steals. .

场均出场25分钟，12分2.5次抢断以及3.2个篮板，命中率66%！

This kind of efficiency, any team will be envious when they see it.

Why are the Warriors so lucky?Actually picked up a top 3D player for nothing!

You know, these days, the price of 3D players is getting more and more expensive, basically even a little level, they have to get tens of millions of contracts!
And Wang Feng is still on a basic salary contract, and because he failed to participate in the draft, the price of Wang Feng's contract is pitifully low!
At that time, the Warriors gave Wang Feng a two-year contract, starting in July 14 and ending in July 7.

The total contract amount was 94, with an average of 47 U.S. dollars per year, which was the minimum salary at that time.

I am afraid that the management of the Warriors who signed the contract with Wang Feng at that time did not expect that this investment, which was just to open up the Huaguo market at that time, would have such a rich return!
At present, the Warriors' uniform team has not discussed the contract with Wang Feng, but according to Wang Feng's performance, after the playoffs, the Warriors will definitely come to discuss with Wang Feng about renewing the contract in advance.

……

The end of the regular season is already considered a holiday for teams with poor records. Players can start a leisure and vacation life, go to the beach to bask in the sun and fish, life is very pleasant.

But for the top eight teams in the East and West, this is just the beginning!
The Warriors, who won 68 wins, ushered in the first game of the playoffs three days later, at home against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Pelicans, which have just been renamed from the Hornets for a year, have a record of 45 wins and 37 losses this season under the leadership of Anthony Davis, ranking eighth in the Western Conference. Made it to the playoffs for the first time in years!

Anthony Davis performed perfectly in the regular season, averaging 24.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. He already has the appearance of a top star power forward.

For the management of the Pelicans, being able to enter the playoffs this season is already very satisfying!They never expected to defeat the Warriors and complete the miracle of black eight.

In contrast, let the young champion thick eyebrows continue to grow, the team continues to operate, and the introduction of some strong players to continue to strengthen the team is what they need to consider now.

In the first game of the series, the Warriors easily won at home.

116: 99!

Anthony Davis completely dominated the interior, scoring 35 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks, but six players from the Warriors scored in double figures.

Curry scored the Warriors' highest 31 points, Thompson 22 points, Green 12 points, Iguodala 10 points, and Barnes 11 points.

And Wang Feng got a lot of chances in this game. He made 7 of 5 three-pointers and scored 15 points!
The strength of the two teams is very different, and there is no suspense at all.

The results of the next three games were exactly the same.

101: 87.

123: 119.

109: 98.

Four games, a clean 4:0.

The Warriors successfully entered the second round!
