NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 496
(The status is a little better today, and I barely coded a chapter. I'm not sure about tomorrow.)
In terms of talent, Garnett is really one of the best inside players in the NBA in recent years. Looking at the next ten or even 15 years, only Duncan and Nowitzki can match him. Even in terms of single-round talents, Duncan and Nowitzki Dirk Nowitzki is half a chip behind.

Height, wingspan, explosiveness, jumping, these Garnetts are all top-notch.

For the lob that Wang Feng sent just now, Garnett jumped up to catch the ball with his head almost over the basket, so he dunked it naturally with ease.

Gatlin, who was facing Garnett, grew his mouth wide in astonishment. He took off with Garnett, but the height only reached the opponent's chest.

"boom--!"

Looking at Garnett who landed after dunking, Adelman's eyes lit up immediately.

"I now understand a little bit why the Warriors chose Garnett instead of No. [-] pick Joe Smith. This young man has a more promising future."

"hateful……"

Being passed by Wang Feng as easily as if he had passed a telegraph pole, Sprewell felt that his face was humiliated.

Therefore, when the white team got the ball, he immediately approached Wang Feng after getting the basketball.

He wanted to use his own attack to fight back against Wang Feng.

But at the moment when he really stood in front of Wang Feng, Sprewell felt the strong pressure from Wang Feng.

A nearly perfect defensive position, a taller and stronger body than him, and those calm eyes that seem to be able to read his thoughts at any time.

Sprewell paused for about 5 seconds at the top arc of the three-point line, and then he knew that if he didn't act again, he might not have the courage to attack!
Gritting his teeth, Sprewell quickly dribbled and swayed the ball for two steps on the spot, then made a lightning-fast jump and shot.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this move if you are indecisive. Even if you fail to make a shot, it will not cause a serious loss of position on the defensive end due to the investment in the offensive end.

But Sprewell's movements were too simple and direct for Wang Feng. The moment the opponent took off, he immediately took a step forward, raised his hand and blocked Sprewell's shot.

Wang Feng, who is 2 meters tall, not only has a height advantage when facing Sprewell, who is 01 meters tall. After strengthening in the summer, his jumping has been strengthened to 1, and Wang Feng's blocking ability is also as high as 96. Quite tough.

"what?!!"

Sprewell was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Feng's block to come so fast!

The basketball was directly flashed by Wang Feng to the backcourt. At the same time, Wang Feng also rushed to pick up the basketball at a faster speed than Sprewell, and then rushed towards the white team's basket.

Wang Feng's speed was indeed extremely fast, faster than all the Warriors players on the field. Sprewell gritted his teeth and tried his best to follow Wang Feng barely.

After rushing to the free throw line, Wang Feng took two big strides, soared into the air, and ended the attack with a one-armed tomahawk dunk.

"boom--!"

For the second dunk, Wang Feng's jumping ability in this attack was not inferior to that of Garnett before, and he couldn't help but aroused the low praise of several assistant coaches around him.

"Is that all there is to it?"

After Wang Feng dunked and landed, he turned his head to look at Sprewell and sneered disdainfully.

TM is too deceitful, my uncle can bear it but my aunt can't!
Sprewell's eyes were a little red, and in the next few rounds he desperately singled out Wang Feng, trying to score under Wang Feng's defense.

However, it turns out that Wang Feng's defensive ability may be difficult to defend against a top player like Jordan, but it is more than enough to defend against a third-rate star in the league like Sprewell.

Even Wang Feng didn't need to use other moves, just a death-coiled badge for a close-fitting press, which could force Sprewell to struggle and stagger, and it was difficult to maintain a normal dribble.

Adelman watched the entire series between the Knicks and the Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Even Jordan would feel headaches in Wang Feng's defense, and most of the offense will choose the post-up technique after receiving the ball from the inside, and try to avoid attacking with the ball from the outside.

It's just that the scene where the player is almost unable to dribble is still too shocking.

Sprewell's offense was blocked in various ways, while Wang Feng's offense was able to score steadily almost every time.

After a few rounds, the blue team has established a double-digit score advantage.

And in these few rounds, Adelman also fully understood why the Warriors dared to use the third highest salary in the league, and even the highest salary in the league when they signed Wang Feng to get him.

Worth the money spent!
"What are you looking at?"

Adelman frowned, and looked at an assistant coach beside him. This assistant coach was not the coach of the Warriors, but he brought it with him. Because he was used to coaching the Trail Blazers for many years, he always took it with him.

This kind of thing is very common in the league.

At this time, the assistant coach immediately understood Adelman's meaning, stopped the game directly, called the players of the white team together, and rearranged the tactics.

In any case, the white team is also the Warriors' full main lineup, and it's hard for anyone to be easily and unilaterally beaten by the blue team.

"Boss, you are really too strong."

After a timeout, Garnett excitedly ran to Wang Feng, "A player who is so good at offense and defense, I only knew Michael Jordan before. It turns out that you are too... No, you are stronger than Michael!"

The future famous wolf king has now completely become one of Wang Feng's little fans.

On the other side of the white team, the assistant coach is arranging the next play and tactics.

But Sprewell's eyes were dull and he didn't listen at all.

After several rounds of offense and defense, Wang Feng had completely crushed the madman's confidence. He knew that Wang Feng was very powerful, but he never expected that he would be so powerful that he had no power to fight back.

"how so……"

The assistant coach looked at Sprewell, who was wandering in the sky, and didn't listen to his words at all, and didn't say anything to remind the other party.

After the timeout, the players of the two teams restarted the game. The white team directly changed their tactics, and the main attack point changed from Sprewell to Mullin and Caselli. The attack chose to avoid Wang Feng and Garnett as much as possible. .

The effect of this move was outstanding. After all, except for those two, the blue team was all a group of bench players with limited strength and couldn't defend the main players at all.

In this way, the White team managed to close the point difference to within 10 points before the end of the training match. Although they still lost the game, at least the loss was not so ugly.

In fact, if Wang Feng is serious, let alone 10 points, even a 20-point difference is not impossible.

After all, his ability to assist in defense is also at the top level in the league, and he can definitely step forward to assist in defense when his teammates are being beaten by the opponent.

But he also knows that a large part of the players on the field will become his teammates in the future and need to fight side by side. Even in the training games within the team, he still needs to save face for the opponent.

Of course, he didn't save this face for Sprewell.

为时30分钟的对抗赛直到结束的时候，斯普雷维尔也没有能得到哪怕一分，数据统计是可怜的0分1篮板1助攻5失误。

It's not that the white team didn't think about helping Sprewell, after all, they were all teammates. They also tried to separate Wang Feng and Sprewell by using pick-and-roll screens and other methods to help him score.

But Wang Feng just doesn't get in. You pick and roll, and I have a pick and roll dodger badge. Even if the double screen can separate such a slight shot, Wang Feng can use the defensive shock badge to interfere with Sprewell's already cold touch. .

"Very good, let's stop here for today, everyone disbands, recall the details of today's competition, complement each other and learn from each other, and the training will continue tomorrow."

Adelman didn't mention anything about Wang Feng and Sprewell at all. This kind of thing was tacitly understood by everyone, and there was absolutely no need to say anything.

Who is the boss of the Warriors in the future? All the players have already made up their minds.

With a sullen face, Sprewell walked towards the locker room without saying a word.

On the same day, the general manager of the Warriors received a trade application from Sprewell's agent.

Bob was in a daze, completely unaware of what happened, and then asked the coaching staff to understand what was going on, and then he was speechless.

What is this ghost?

Can such a serious conflict arise on the first day of the player's return to the team?Isn't Wang Feng too thorny?
At this time, Bob couldn't help but feel that his bet was wrong.

Then he also made a phone call to coach Rick Adelman.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't get any opinions or comments about this incident from Adelman, he just said a word simply.

"With Wang Feng, we really have a chance to enter the championship."

Entering the ranks of the championship does not mean that you will definitely win the championship. Just like the Utah Jazz, they are the favorites to win the championship every year. They have not won a championship in the past so many years.

But just the words of stepping into the championship ranks were enough to shock Bob.

What kind of magical power does this Wang Feng have, that he even conquered Adelman in just one day?

……

A day later, the Warriors officially issued an announcement, sending the team's All-Star guard Sprewell and a future second-round pick in exchange for point guard Mookie Blaylock from the Atlanta Hawks.

This transaction, which happened before the start of the preseason, has caused a lot of heated discussions.

In the eyes of many, this is not a reciprocal transaction.

Madman Sprewell's transaction value is very high. He is very young. He can average 20+ points per game in his second season as a rookie.

On the other hand, Mookie Blaylock, although he can be regarded as a good player, was selected to the All-Star once, and last season, he beat Gary Payton to be selected to the best defensive team.

But on the one hand, being 3 years older than Sprewell makes him seem to have lower potential. On the other hand, as a point guard with a height of only 1 meters, Blaylock's limitations are a bit too much. big.

The Eagles once also regarded Blaylock as the core of the team and trained him. At that time, his average data reached 13.8 points and 9.7 assists per game, but it turns out that not everyone of this height can be like Iverson Achieved enough in the league.

Therefore, in the middle of the 93-94 season, Dominique Wilkins chose to leave the Eagles for the Clippers, and the Eagles also changed from the top power in the East to a second-rate team that barely entered the playoffs with a record of 42 wins and 40 losses.

Being able to get Sprewell is naturally a dream for the Eagles who want to rebuild the team. Moreover, the Warriors also got a second-round pick for this reason. Although the second round is worthless, mosquito meat is also meat. Wouldn't it be nice to give one away?
As soon as the deal came out, Warriors fans were angry again.

They couldn't figure out what the Warriors' management was doing?
San Francisco's local sports media also published newspapers questioning this.

"What is Warriors general manager Bob thinking? Sprewell is the future of the Warriors. All Warriors fans are looking forward to him and Wang Feng forming a top perimeter combination that does not lose to Jordan Pippen. Weir is traded, besides Wang Feng, who else can you count on to score stably for the team?"

Wang Feng is quite satisfied with this transaction.

Although Mookie Blaylock doesn't look like a mountain, and his height of 1 meters does not seem to be suitable for the NBA, this guy has been selected to the best defensive team 83 times in his entire career, and he also has two steals. His perimeter defensive ability can be regarded as second only to Gary Payton and Stockton in this era.

More importantly, Blaylock, who is good at defense, still has a good three-pointer. Although his overall shooting percentage in his career is only about 33%, in the past few seasons when the league has shortened the three-point line, he has averaged close to 7 three-pointers, and maintained the hit rate at around 36%.

In this era that doesn't pay attention to three-pointers, such a number of shots and shooting percentage are already quite good.

In addition, Blaylock's assist ability is also good. In the peak season, he averaged 9.7 assists per game, which can be said to be quite excellent.

Although Wang Feng thinks this is not very useful, because his own organization and connection ability is stronger than that of Braylock.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Feng was originally planning to serve as the starting point guard for the Warriors.

With the arrival of Blaylock, the plan has changed. Wang Feng estimates that he will appear at the small forward or shooting guard position in the new season.

……

No matter how you question it, this deal has come to a conclusion, and Wang Feng also took this opportunity to completely grasp the right to speak of the Warriors and become a veritable leader of the team.

And a few days later, the NBA preseason game finally arrived.

A new Warriors team that has been almost completely reborn finally debuted under the eyes of everyone.

On October 10, the Warriors' first preseason game was to sit at home to meet the challenge from the Saramento Kings.

The Warriors also showed fans in this game a lineup that may become a stable starter in the regular season.

Point guard Mookie Blaylock, shooting guard Chris Mullin, small forward Wang Feng, power forward Kevin Garnett, center Ronnie Secali.
