NBA: Top 3D talents to start

The Knicks dream has always been doing well, this is an old tradition.

In 97, he tried to introduce Jordan, and in the next 10 years, he also had the idea of ​​​​recruiting James.

But everyone knows the result.

The Knicks' offer of more than 2000 million U.S. dollars for Jordan became a bargaining chip for Jordan to negotiate with the Bulls. In the end, in order to keep Jordan, the Bulls completed a contract extension with Jordan at a sky-high price of 3000 million U.S. dollars.

Joe Gang became the first player in NBA history to receive an annual salary of 3000 million. This annual salary is calculated according to inflation, and it will be worth hundreds of millions in 2022!It can be seen how exaggerated it is.

The Knicks can't get Jordan, but for fans in New York City, after witnessing the team's failure this season, they can only use this statement to give themselves a psychological comfort, otherwise the Knicks have already He was eliminated, and there is no hope of winning the championship again, what else can he do?

The duel in the Eastern Conference finals will be the peak duel between the Bulls and the Magic, Jordan vs O'Neal, Pippen vs Hardaway.

Most people generally believe that the Bulls will be the last laughing team, but the Magic led by O'Neal is by no means a soft persimmon. The two sides will definitely stage a fierce battle on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In contrast, although the Western Conference Finals on the other side is also a duel between two teams with 60+ wins in the regular season, the attention is obviously not as high as that of the Eastern Conference.

The point of view here is that Wang Feng's personal heroism has reached the extreme, and he is called the most perfect player by Olajuwon. It is a duel with the Supersonics, which can be regarded as the best team in the league.

The Sonics in the 95-96 season were definitely the best team.

With a record of 62 wins in the regular season and all the way to the Western Conference finals in the playoffs, such a strong team did not even have a player who averaged more than 20 points per game during the regular season.

“雨人”肖恩.坎普场均19.6分11.4篮板，“手套”加里.佩顿19.3分4.2篮板7.5助攻，德特雷夫.施拉姆夫17分5篮板4助攻，何塞.霍金斯15.6分……

The Sonics have a very good team with multiple scoring points on the field. No matter which player plays badly in the game, there will be players in other positions who will come forward. Because of this, the Sonics can be in this strong team. Ruyun's season still won 62 wins and became the first in the Western Conference.

In fact, this can also be seen from the award of the best team.

The Bulls, Magic, and Warriors, all three 60-win teams, all had players selected to the best team, but the Sonics only had Gary Payton selected to the second team, and Kemp could only be selected to the third team.

Because they are indeed slightly worse in terms of personal data performance.

Now the question is, when Wang Feng, who represents the strongest individual strength, meets the Supersonic, the strongest team, which one is stronger?
On May 5, the first game of the Western Conference finals, the G18 game started in Seattle, the home of the Supersonics.

The Warriors played away, which is the first time since their playoffs this season that the series started on the road.

The starting lineup of the Warriors has not changed, it is still the starting combination of Blalock, Mullin, Wang Feng, Garnett and Sekali.

For the Sonics, starting point guard Jose Hawkins, shooting guard Gary Payton, small forward Detref Schramf, power forward Sean Kemp, and center Irving Johnson.

Although the center of the Supersonics is named Irvin Johnson, he is not the famous magician of the Lakers, but a blue-collar insider with the same name and surname, 2 meters tall, and career averages of 11 points and 4 rebounds per game.

For the jump ball, the Supersonics chose Camp, who has a better bounce, but the Rainman lost in the jump ball with Garnett. There is no way. Compared with talent, I, the wolf king, will fight and retreat Garnett fears no one.

The Warriors had the ball and the basketball was quickly handed over to Wang Feng. The Supersonics arranged for Kemp to defend Wang Feng.

As a top star in the league, Kemp is more remembered for his explosive dunks and excellent physical fitness, but when it comes to defense, no one would think that Kemp has such an outstanding defensive ability.

Of course, with his strong strength, speed and jumping ability not inferior to strikers, as long as Kemp is serious, his defense is definitely not bad, but even so, it is impossible for him to defend Wang Feng.

After all, even top perimeter defensive players like Rodman and Pippen have nothing to do with Wang Feng.

Supersonic naturally knows this well, but what can they do if they know it?
The game is still going on.

Facing Kemp with the ball, Wang Feng had a calm expression, but Kemp in front of him smiled at him, showing big yellow teeth.

"Brat, if you dare to break through, I will definitely let you taste the fist."

As an NBA player, Sean Kemp can be described as bad.

Drugs, alcoholism, lust, and lies.

Apart from his football skills, there was nothing shining about this guy.

At the age of 28, this guy had at least 7 illegitimate children. According to incomplete statistics, he had as many as 11 illegitimate children, which are completely comparable to Howard.

The problem is that he engages in supernatural guerrillas like Howard, but no one can make money like Master Huo, and he is not as smart as Master Huo.

Although Howard has many illegitimate children, Howard has the custody right. Therefore, he only needs to raise these children, but he does not need to pay astronomical monthly alimony like Kemp.

Therefore, just after retiring from the NBA in 03, Kemp declared bankruptcy on the spot.

Think about it carefully, what kind of obedient child would such a person who is addicted to drugs and alcohol and still merciless go around in the violent arena in the 90s?
Seeing Kemp with a fierce expression on his face, Wang Feng sneered disdainfully.

It's almost a year and a half into the 90s, and Kemp isn't the only villain he's encountered in the league.

Oakley, Barkley, Rodman, these are not fuel-efficient lamps. If you have to say it, Kemp, who only joined the league in 89, is slightly less interesting than these few.

Wang Feng paused slightly in his dribbling movements, as if he was about to pull up and shoot the ball the next moment.

Seeing this scene, Kemp jumped in his heart, and immediately stepped forward to raise his hand. Wang Feng's three-pointers have long been famous in the league, and they are like nuclear weapons. No team dares to let him shoot three-pointers easily. point.

But at the moment he stepped forward, Wang Feng suddenly moved. He took the ball and accelerated towards Kemp's right. The first step of the master badge was instantly activated, making his speed like lightning.

Kemp remained motionless like a telegraph pole, and was easily passed by Wang Feng with one step!
Although the speed is outstanding in the power forward position, the 2-meter-tall Kemp is obviously not in the same dimension compared with Wang Feng, who can rank among the best in speed even among defenders.

Let Kemp defend Wang Feng is really the best answer the Sonics can give.

After passing Kemp in one easy step, Wang Feng immediately accelerated towards the basket with the ball. Only the blue-collar player Johnson was left under the Supersonic basket.

But at this moment, a figure came out from the side, aiming at the basketball in Wang Feng's hand.

Gary Payton!

Wang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Sure enough, the Supersonics did not simply let Kemp defend themselves. It turned out that they planned to use the combination of Kemp + Payton to jointly restrain themselves from playing.

Kemp's defense is not very good, it doesn't matter, and Payton is on the side to help defend and fill in the gaps.

Gary Payton is a top perimeter defensive player, even if you look at NBA history, he is ranked number one.

This season, Gary Payton won the steals title with 2.9 steals, and the Warriors' Braylock and Wang Feng ranked second and third in the steals list. If nothing else, this year's best defensive player will also be Obtained by Peyton.

The reason why the Supersonics did not allow Payton to directly defend Wang Feng was because the size gap between the two was too large.

Payton, who is 1 meters tall and weighs only 93 kilograms, can't defend Wang Feng one-on-one. Even if his speed is not slower than Wang Feng, Wang Feng doesn't need to break through when facing Payton.

The height difference between the two and Wang Feng's 99 bounce, Payton could not effectively interfere with Wang Feng's shooting anyway.

And taking a step back, even if Wang Feng doesn't feel good and can't make outside shots, there is no problem in imitating James' style of play and using strength to crush Payton to break through.

But like now, Payton is not the player Wang Feng is facing at the first time, but he kills from the flank the second time after he breaks through with the ball, and the goal is very clear, stealing Wang Feng in the breakthrough with the ball.

Payton's timing was very accurate. The time did not allow Wang Feng to continue to adjust his dribble to dodge. In order not to be intercepted, Wang Feng had to stop immediately to protect the ball.

"It seems that I have really carefully studied my game video..."

Wang Feng sneered in his heart.

Wang Feng, who has not strengthened all his abilities to the full 99, of course still has weaknesses in the arena, but it is not obvious because of the extremely high values.

Like dribbling ability.

Wang Feng's dribbling ability value is 92, which is already the first-class level in the league and definitely ahead of most players in the league.

But 92 dribbles are not 99 after all. In one-on-one situations, it is naturally difficult to be targeted by the defense and cause a loss of the ball. Dribble to change the situation.

In other words, the Sonics' first defensive strategy was a success.

While protecting the basketball with both hands to avoid being intercepted by Payton, Wang Feng had to stop. If he continued to move forward, he would be walking.

Payton's timing was really just right. If he slowed down a bit, Wang Feng could take one more step... No, even if he took half a step more, the distance would be enough for a three-step layup.

"The defense in the first step, let's say you succeeded, but what are you going to do in the second step? Are you double-teaming and forcing me to make a mistake?"

Wang Feng glanced at Payton, and then looked behind Payton.

As a point guard, Payton understood Wang Feng's thoughts the moment he noticed Wang Feng's eyes.

In this game, Payton was originally in charge of marking Mullin. At this time, he came to press Wang Feng. On the other side, Mullin had already run to the designated position outside the three-point line. As long as Wang Feng's pass was in place, raising his hand would be a shot. The three-pointer shoots up and down!
Most of Wang Feng's triple-double assists in the regular season came from this.

Payton hesitated for a moment, Wang Feng had already stopped the ball, should he return to defend Mullin immediately?Kemp is right behind Wang Feng. If the opponent chooses to shoot from this position, with Kemp's jumping ability, he can definitely give the opponent a big cap.

The moment he hesitated, Wang Feng moved again.

He didn't choose a jumper on the spot, nor did he pass the ball to Mullin. Instead, he threw the basketball towards the backboard, and then accelerated towards the basket to run up and take off.

"Self-throwing?"

Payton, who was hesitating, had no time to stop Wang Feng, and Kemp, who was still standing behind Wang Feng, couldn't do it. They could only watch helplessly as Wang Feng jumped high at the free throw line after a two-step run-up. The basketball bounced off the backboard, a meteor slam dunk in the air, and the basketball was dunked into the basket with one hand.

"boom--!"

The entire Sonics arena was quiet for a moment.

Wang Feng’s slam dunk action is full of sense, very similar to the action of Superman’s dunk in Howard’s slam dunk contest. Although because of the distance, his hand just rubbed against the edge of the basket, which looks more like condescending and relying on height to smash the basketball into it. Yes, but the viewing level is not inferior to those powerful dunks, and the picture of flying long distances in the air is even more shocking and cannot be calmed down for a long time!
From being flanked by Gary Payton's assisted defense to performing a self-throwing and self-dunk, it was just a matter of moments. Many Supersonic fans at home didn't even react, and saw this shocking scene.

"My God! What happened!"

"At that moment just now, I almost thought this guy was going to grow wings and fly away."

"How did he manage to jump so high and so far? Even if Michael (Jordan) can estimate it, it is difficult to do it?"

On the field, Wang Feng turned around and returned to defense after landing, but he glanced at Payton and Kemp and smiled faintly.

"Want to target and defend me? Well, if you can do it, then give it a try!"

……

The Supersonic's strategy is obvious, it is to find a way to curb Wang Feng's performance. The Warriors' style of play is very simple and straightforward, that is, to attack around Wang Feng, and all other players basically serve Wang Feng on the court.

This is exactly the way James played in the Cavaliers at his peak, but the current Warriors can't get four outside shooters, and the configuration has dropped a little.

Therefore, as long as Wang Feng can be restrained, the Warriors' offensive rhythm can be restrained.

But the entire league understands this truth. The Warriors still won 82 of the 60 games in the regular season. Wang Feng also played an exaggerated 38.7+ triple-double per game.

The effect of Payton's assistance in defending the pincer attack was not obvious, and he couldn't even defend Wang Feng with a sudden shot of the first ball, let alone the latter.

The main reason is that Wang Feng passed Kemp's defense too easily, which led to the poor defense effect behind Payton. Wang Feng could either attack Payton on his own, or pass the ball to an open teammate in time to assist and score.
