"The Warriors won 35 consecutive victories, setting a new historical winning streak record in the league!"
"The regular season started with 35 wins and 1 loss! After getting the best start in league history, can it break the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses?"
"An impeccable team! Can the Warriors successfully defend their title and win the O'Brien Cup again?"
In the last game, the Warriors officially broke the Lakers' 33-game winning streak record. The major media outlets that had already scanned their screens once again flooded their screens with Warriors-related reports!
The discussion on whether the Warriors can break the longest winning streak in history has ended with the Warriors' loss, but whether they can break the 72-10 record set by Joe's team with the Bulls has immediately become the focus of heated discussion from all walks of life.
In the week after the winning streak ended, the Warriors won three of four games and reached a record of 38 wins and 2 losses. Overall, the situation was optimistic. Except for the anxious situation when facing the San Antonio Spurs, it was difficult to distinguish one from the other. In the end, due to luck,
Except for the slightly regrettable loss, the Warriors won the rest of the games by big scores, and clocking out in three quarters has become the norm.
Although the Warriors' winning streak has ended, the team is still as strong as ever.
…
On January 18, 2016, the NBA's official All-Star voting channel was officially closed, and the voting results were officially announced three days later.
Western Conference guard Kobe Bryant undoubtedly beat the crowd and became the All-Star vote winner.
Curry and James finished second and third respectively.
According to the voting results, the starting lineup for both the Eastern and Western teams has been determined.
In the East, the five All-Star starters are Kyle Lowry of the Denver Nuggets, Dwyane Wade of the Heat, LeBron James of the Cavaliers, Paul George of the Pacers and Cameron of the Knicks.
Anthony.
The starting five in the Western Conference are Stephen Curry of the Warriors, Russell Westbrook of the Thunder, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Kevin Durant of the Thunder and Kawhi of the Spurs.
Leonard.
Although Wang Feng did well in the first round of voting, there was a huge gap in popularity between him and the others, so he had no choice but to lose.
If the All-Star voting counts the votes of Chinese fans, Wang Feng is estimated to be able to crush the vast majority of people, and it is not difficult to even win the vote in one fell swoop. It is a pity that this is the NBA All-Star and not the CBA.
There is nothing that can be done about Wang Feng's failure to be selected into the All-Star starting lineup, but this does not mean that Wang Feng has no chance to participate in the All-Star Game.
In addition to the five starting All-Stars in the Eastern and Western Conferences, the NBA All-Stars each have seven substitute players.
The selection of All-Star substitutes is different from the starting lineup. It is voted by the head coaches of the league's 30 teams, mainly based on the players' performance so far in the regular season.
Wang Feng still averages 20+ points per game, and his efficiency value ranks among the best in the league. He also makes a huge contribution to the team on the defensive end.
The Warriors are able to achieve such an impressive record now. The outstanding performance of Curry, Thompson and the Splash Brothers is of course the main reason, but Wang Feng also played a decisive role in it. There is no problem with this sentence!
Therefore, it is very possible for Wang Feng to be selected as an All-Star substitute.
Moreover, in addition to the All-Star Game, Wang Feng has confirmed to participate in two other All-Star events, namely the All-Star Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Three-Point Contest.
As a first-year rookie last season, Wang Feng was still in the stage where he could not play at all. His average per game data was extremely poor, and he was naturally not eligible to participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.
However, in just less than one season, Wang Feng has evolved into a main player with both offense and defense.
Looking at the entire first- and second-year rookies, there are very few players who perform better than Wang Feng, so it is inevitable that he will be selected for the Rookie Challenge.
As for the three-point contest, Wang Feng signed up to participate.
The Three-Point Contest is different from the All-Star Game. It is just an entertainment performance event. It does not have high gold content, but it is also a rare opportunity to show off. Especially this year, all the Splash Brothers of the Warriors participated. If Wang Feng is added, it will become three players and four players will participate.
Three of the players are from the Warriors, which will definitely attract a lot of attention.
After all, the majority of viewers also want to know who of the Warriors' "three musketeers" is better at three-point shooting.
Wang Feng doesn't know if his 92 three-pointers and the purple corner three-point shooter badge can defeat Curry and Thompson in the three-point contest, but he has to give it a try after all if he has such an opportunity.
If you win, you will gain blood, if you lose, you will not lose. If you are lucky enough to win against Curry and Thompson, it will be enough for Wang Feng to brag for a long time!
Wang Feng, who had the idea of gaining more exposure, received another piece of good news at the end of January.
On January 29, the NBA officially announced the 2016 All-Star Game substitute list for the Eastern and Western Conferences, and Wang Feng’s name was on the list!
Chinese football fans celebrate together!
Since Dayao played in the All-Star Game as a starter in the 2008-09 season, no Chinese player has been selected for the NBA All-Star Game. Although Wang Feng was only selected as a substitute, this is the first Chinese player to be selected after 7 years.
All-star game!
However, Wang Feng, who was successfully selected for the All-Star Game, was overjoyed but discovered a problem, that is, Draymond Green's name was not seen on the Western Conference All-Star substitute list.
According to the original historical process, the three players selected for the All-Stars by the Warriors this season should be Curry, Thompson and Green, because these three players are the core founders of the Warriors' superb record.
But Wang Feng's arrival has changed a lot of things. His outside defense and assisting defense capabilities have greatly enhanced the Warriors' defensive intensity, which has reduced Green's importance in the Warriors' defensive system.
Not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.
In the original Warriors, Green mainly played the position of point forward. Most of the time, the ball was in his hands to direct and dispatch. Therefore, in the 15-16 season, Green had the highest number of shots, points and assists in his career.
Peak, averaging 14 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.
But now the Warriors, because of Wang Feng, the offensive tactical system has also changed significantly. Especially this season, after Wang Feng's mid-range offensive ability was developed, Cole increased Wang Feng's shot attempts. These ball possessions were not from
What was deducted from Curry and Thompson originally belonged to other role players, including Harrison Barnes, who had been traded away from the team... and Green.
Because of this, the personal data of Curry and Thompson have not been greatly affected by the rise of Wang Feng, and Wang Feng has been able to continue to provide an output of 20+ points during nearly half of the regular season.
But Green's data was unknowingly affected.
Green's average data per game this season is 10.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.2 steals. This is obviously a big improvement compared to the 14-15 season, but compared with Green from another time and space, it is obviously inferior.
