NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 46 Big Score 20
119: 106.

This is the final score of the two sides after the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

The Warriors won by 13 points, and the point difference is not particularly disparate, but the audience who have watched the entire game know that this is not a difficult game.

From the first quarter of the game, the Warriors quickly established an advantage. In the next few quarters, the Rockets never had a chance to narrow the point difference.

As a result, the Warriors won the first game without bloodshed and got off to a good start!

In this game, Curry scored a team-high 31 points, Thompson scored 17 points, Green had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, Barnes 14 points, and Iguodala 10 points.

Wang Feng, as the starting small forward of the Warriors, scored only 6 points in this game, and only took two shots in the whole game.

However, no matter who, even Curry, mentioned the victory of this game after the game, he would give Wang Feng the greatest credit.

"In this game, Wang Feng's defense against Harden was really at the textbook level. I never thought that the defense could use psychological warfare!"

"If Wang Feng hadn't successfully restrained Harden, this game would never have been won so easily!"

"Wang Feng has proved to everyone through this game that he is already the league's top perimeter defensive expert!"

The core of the Rockets, James Harden, scored 29 points in the game and was the highest scoring player on the Rockets side.

However, under Wang Feng's full defense, Harden took a full 33 shots, only made 9 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 27%!If it weren't for enough free throws, I'm afraid I wouldn't even get 29 points!
It is precisely because Harden's efficiency is extremely low that the Rockets' overall offensive rhythm is affected, and the Warriors can easily win the victory!

Although no one has understood until now, how did Wang Feng do it?Especially in the first quarter, defending Harden with his hands behind his back all the way, can actually reduce Harden's shooting percentage so much?

It has been a long time since the word "eye protection" was coined, and today is the first time that people have discovered that this word is actually a positive description!

Harden, on the other hand, took all the responsibility for the loss of the game on himself. He couldn't do anything if he didn't want to take the blame. As long as he was not blind, he could see what kind of performance he had in the game.

But for Wang Feng, who is facing him, Harden's evaluation is very average.

"I didn't play very well in this game. The main reason was myself. I had a lot of open shots and didn't have any defensive pressure at all, but I couldn't seize the opportunities. Too bad, I will adjust my state as soon as possible to deal with the next game..."

The meaning of Harden's words is also obvious.

My poor performance in this game is due to my bad hand feeling. What does it have to do with Wang Feng?He didn't guard me, it's just that I couldn't make an open shot.

This is Harden's last stubbornness.

In any case, at least his excuse is a kind of comfort to Harden fans.

That's right, Harden will never be guarded to death by an unknown person, it's just that he doesn't feel good. A top star like Harden will definitely get back to his form quickly and defeat doubts with his strong performance!

……

Then, the time came to May 5, the second game of the Western Conference Finals.

Oracle Arena is still home to the Warriors.

Cheers and screams filled the arena.

The total score is 2:0!

Another victory for the Warriors!
Compared with the previous game, the result of this game was even more cruel.

115: 80!

The Rockets lost a full 35 points away!A complete and complete defeat!
As soon as the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Harden threw the towel on his head aside, and then walked into the player channel without looking back.

Clearly, he hasn't lived up to the promise he made after Game [-].

这场比赛，哈登全场打了32分钟，只得到17分！16投3中！命中率18.8%！发挥比第一场更加糟糕！
The only commendable thing is that he scored 11 of 10 free throws, which is why he scored 3 points with only 17 goals.

In this game, the Warriors increased their defense against Harden, not only allowing Wang Feng to mark the whole time, but also allowing Green, Thompson and other players who are equally good at defending to be ready to help defend at any time, even if Wang Feng is passed or screened by a pick-and-roll If you lose your position, you can make up for it as soon as possible.

Under the huge defensive pressure, Harden's movements were completely deformed, which is also the main reason for 16 of 3 shots!

When Harden was completely targeted, the Rockets completely lost their resistance and let the Warriors slaughter them.

After this game, Harden was already reluctant to speak in the post-match press conference.

This TM is too slap in the face.

He shot 27% from the field in the previous game, and he promised to get back to his form in the next game.

Then in this game, the shooting percentage dropped from 27% to 18.8%!

What can he say in front of those reporters who are looking forward to it?
In the next game, I will definitely get back to my form?
What if the next game is worse?
The Rockets coach McHale shook his head helplessly in an interview at the press conference.

"The Warriors are indeed a very strong team. They have a reasonable lineup and tactical system, excellent team leaders, and excellent role players. We have a lot to learn from them."

"But it's too early to say these. The Warriors have their advantages, but we also have our advantages. The game is not over yet. We will try our best to bring out the advantages of the players in our team in the next games. Win the next game!"

McHale's words were very tough, but in fact, between the lines, he already revealed a sense of powerlessness.

This Warriors team is really too strong. He racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to beat this team.

If Harden can maintain the efficient performance in the regular season, maybe he can think about it a little bit. There is really no chance like now.

In the finals on this side of the West, the Warriors led the Rockets 2:0, and the situation in the East is the same.

Mike Budenholzer, who led the Eagles to the best record in the Eastern Conference and was awarded the best coach, was headshot by James' Cavaliers.

Without Love, without Irving, and James leading the team with a single core, the Hawks with a well-organized lineup had no resistance at all, and the score also became 2:0.

Although there were only two games in the Eastern and Western finals, the vast majority of fans, including the sports media, have already felt that this year's NBA Finals will probably be a confrontation between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers!
