Putting aside some of the supporting roles in this three-point contest, Wang Feng's main opponents this time are actually only two people, and that is his teammates Curry and Thompson.
In the 2016 All-Star Three-Point Contest, Wang Feng had a profound influence. If nothing else happens, Curry and Thompson will both enter the finals. Then in the finals, one of them shot 26 points and the other scored 27 points.
, Thompson, who finally scored 27 points, narrowly defeated Curry by 1 point to win the three-point contest trophy.
Looking at the history of the three-point contest, 27 points is also a very high score, and it requires a shooting rate of close to 80% to achieve it!
Even Wang Feng must have a particularly good hand to be sure of getting a higher score than this.
In parallel time and space, due to various factors such as the butterfly effect, Curry and Thompson may not be able to perform as well as they did in another time and space.
But even putting this aside, Wang Feng doesn't have many advantages in terms of personal attributes.
Unknowingly, after more than 50 regular season games, Wang Feng's three-point shooting ability has finally grown, and now it has reached 93.
But this value is really not very high among the players participating in the three-point contest.
Curry's three-point shooting ability of 99 is definitely not running, and Thompson's three-point shooting ability value is probably above 95.
In addition to these two people, Wang Feng feels that the three-point ability of players such as Harden and J.J. Redick is not necessarily much lower than his own. Taking into account the differences in other shooting attributes, they actually have an advantage over Wang Feng.
"With insufficient basic attributes...my only advantage in this kind of competition is the badge."
Wang Feng's eyes flickered.
Badges are Wang Feng's unique skills, which can provide him with high bonuses on the court. They are also the main reason why Wang Feng can thrive in the NBA with an overall rating of less than 80.
It's just that in the early stages, Wang Feng's shooting badges from outside the three-point line were only the top-notch purple corner three-point shooter badge that he got when he opened the gift package!
Many fans who have watched the All-Star Game are well aware of the rules of the Three-Point Contest.
Participating players have to shoot 5 balls at 5 points on the court, a total of 25 balls. A hit with an ordinary ball is worth 1 point, and a hit with a flower ball is worth 2 points. After the reform, the three-point contest has added 4 additional positions that can be selected and ordinary balls.
The flower ball is replaced by the ball, so as to increase the players' strategy and tactical formulation and enhance the enjoyment of the game.
"There are five shooting points, two in the bottom corner, two at 45-degree angles on the left and right sides, and one in the top arc. In this way, the three-point shooter badge in the bottom corner can only affect the two shooting points in the bottom corner.
It’s a shooting spot.”
Wang Feng was shooting on the court to warm up, thinking silently in his heart.
The position of the 45-degree angle is usually relatively small in the game and covers a wide range. Wang Feng often stands on the outside of the 45-degree angle on the court, just enough to get the trigger of the three-point shooter from the bottom corner.
scope.
But the three-point contest is different. The five shooting points are completely fixed positions, and the distance between each position is almost exactly the same. In this case, the two shooting points at a 45-degree angle are out of the range of the bottom corner three-point shooter.
, Wang Feng has no way to rely on the three-point shooter badge in the corner to increase his shooting percentage.
"Except for the bottom corner, I don't have any advantage over other players in shooting from other positions. In this case, the positioning of the four free-color balls is quite critical..."
Wang Feng already had a judgment in his mind.
…
"Can Wang Feng win the three-point contest championship?"
The three-point contest is about to begin, and sports forums in China are already abuzz with heated discussions. Fans of Wang Feng are eagerly looking forward to it.
However, not everyone is optimistic about Wang Feng.
"Wang Feng will definitely take first place if it's just three-pointers from the corner, but the three-point contest is about the comprehensive score of five points, which is really hard to say..."
Wang Feng is best at three-pointers from the bottom corner. From the two bottom corners, his three-pointers are like the flames of hell. As long as you dare to let me go, I dare to score!
But other locations are...
It's not that Wang Feng doesn't have three-pointers in other positions. In fact, Wang Feng's three-point shooting ability value has reached as high as 93. His three-pointers in other positions are also quite threatening.
The shooting percentage of point shots is far less than that of the bottom corner position.
This is the reason why Wang Feng's three-point shooting percentage this season is only 48%, which is far inferior to the over 60% shooting percentage in the playoffs last season.
With the increase in offensive methods and other teams becoming familiar with and adapting to Wang Feng's style of play, he had to expand his shooting range beyond the bottom corner to get more shooting opportunities, which also led to a decline in shooting percentage.
Someone has made relevant statistics. If Wang Feng's shots from outside the three-point line this season are excluded, the shooting rate is about 38%. This shooting rate is still quite high in the league, exceeding
The average outside shooter in the league, but it is 10 percentage points lower than his overall three-point shooting percentage!
And if you just look at Wang Feng's three-point shooting percentage from the bottom corner, the shooting percentage is as high as 67%!
Such statistics make people realize how accurate Wang Feng's corner three-pointers are!
…
"Hey, Wang, how do you feel today? Are you confident of winning the championship?"
The game is about to start, and the warm-up players have returned to the sidelines to sit down and wait.
Curry found an opportunity and asked Wang Feng with a smile.
Although Wang Feng and Green had an unpleasant quarrel, Curry and Wang Feng, who are both shooters and have easy-going personalities, did not become enemies because of this.
Several other participating players nearby also heard Curry's voice and couldn't help but turn their heads to look over.
Curry!Wang Feng!
These two players are the favorites to win this three-point contest, and they are also their biggest enemies on the way to winning the championship.
The reason is very simple. So far in the regular season, Curry and Wang Feng have an unrivaled three-point shooting percentage, far exceeding that of other players.
Although Curry is not as good as Wang Feng in shooting percentage, considering that the defensive intensity he receives on the court is much higher than that of Wang Feng, and the average number of shots per game is more than 10, which is much higher than Wang Feng's average of 6 per game, it is very important.
It's hard to tell which one is strong and which one is weak.
"I feel so-so." Wang Feng smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm a little nervous. After all, it's my first time to participate in this kind of competition. As long as I can perform to my own level, it doesn't matter whether I win the championship or not."
Wang Feng lied. He really wanted to win the three-point contest.
It’s not just that winning the championship will bring him greater popularity, but in yesterday’s Rookie Challenge, Wang Feng unexpectedly discovered that participating in the All-Star Weekend also has system rewards!
