Chapter 111 The first round of the playoffs, the enemy's road is narrow
(There are a lot of things going on during the day today, so the update is a bit late. There will be two updates a little later.)
Thanks to the team's unparalleled record and outstanding personal data, although the regular season MVP selection has not yet begun, it is already a certainty that Curry will win the regular season MVP.
Curry played 78 games this season, averaging 31 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, shooting 50% from the field and 45% from the three-point range. His performance was perfect!
But even so, Curry's brilliance did not completely eclipse Wang Feng.
This season Wang Feng has given people so many surprises. In just one summer, Wang Feng has completed his evolution, from a 3D player who only knows corner three-point shooting and perimeter defense to a COSCO player
A player with good range and lethality.
In 82 regular season games, Wang Feng played in 79 games, averaging 31 minutes per game, contributing 20.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.6 steals for the Warriors, shooting 46.5% from the field and 48.2% from the three-point field!
Such statistics are as if they are at the league star level. Even with two top scorers, Curry and Thompson, attracting the enemy's defensive focus and taking up space, it is enough to prove how outstanding Wang Feng's abilities are!
It is worth mentioning that even though he had a conflict with Wang Feng after the All-Star Game and wanted to gain more benefits, Green's data was still inevitably affected.
His regular season statistics were finally fixed at 11 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists. Although he still has the important responsibility of organizing offense and protecting the frame in the team, his status is obviously much worse than Green who won the 73-win Warriors in another time and space.
few.
According to the original history, Green would be selected to the All-NBA Second Team and the All-Defensive First Team this season, earning both fame and fortune.
But based on Green's current performance, he may still be able to keep the All-Defensive Team, but his spot on the All-Defensive Team may be difficult.
Although the selection of the best team will not begin until after the first round of games, Wang Feng is already 80% sure that he will be selected for the best team, and the probability of being selected for the best defensive team is also very high.
In addition, in the statistics list, Wang Feng leads the league in steals with an average of 2.6 per game, becoming the steal leader in the season.
Wang Feng is not outstanding in terms of stealing, but his interception value is a real 90. Coupled with the speed and agility of double 90, as well as the defensive awareness of 90 and the fighting ability of 86, his stealing ability is quite strong!
More importantly, the golden interceptor badge greatly improved Wang Feng's sense of judging the opponent's passing route in advance, making steals and interceptions easy.
Defensive shock and death entanglement provide Wang Feng with top outside single defense capabilities, while the two golden badges of Interceptor and Double Team Master make him a duck to water when assisting in defense against double teams. The four defensive badges together build Wang Feng's outside defense system.
.
"I just don't know if there are any additional rewards in the system for winning these awards."
When Wang Feng thought of this, he became a little bit more excited.
After all, even the All-Star Three-Point Contest champion and the Rookie Challenge MVP are rewarded. These trivial awards are nothing compared to top honors such as the All-Star Team.
Regardless of the fact that 15 players are selected from three lineups every season for the best team, this award is monopolized by top stars most of the time. Many professional players may be selected to the best team only a few times throughout their careers.
The most typical example is Ray Allen, one of the Celtics' Big Three, who was recognized as the first three-point shooter by Curry. He is considered to be extremely powerful and ranks high among shooting guards.
Although he is a great player, he has only been selected to the All-NBA Team twice in his entire career, once to the second team and once to the third team.
But this is not to be blamed on Ray Allen. The peak period of his career happened to coincide with the four famous shooting guards. The competitiveness of the guard line is so great that it can be called involution. Let alone Ray Allen, even he is a demigod among the four shooting guards.
Vince Carter only made the All-NBA Team twice in his career.
The topic went a little far.
Wang Feng has good personal data and has the best record in history. It is a certainty that he will be selected for the best team. There will be no surprises. We just have to wait for the news to be announced.
…
Five days after the regular season ended, that is, on April 18, the NBA playoffs finally officially began as fans had been eagerly anticipating.
The Warriors' first-round opponent is the eighth-ranked Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference.
When Wang Feng learned about his opponent in the first round, he was stunned for a long time.
"Maverick? What a coincidence?"
Not long after the regular season started, Wang Feng could not compete with him. Knowing that he had no future with the team, Barnes requested a trade. Warriors general manager Myers also simply traded Barnes to the Mavericks.
Unexpectedly, the Warriors actually met Barnes' Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. Isn't this an enemy team?
Barnes, who was traded to the Mavericks, openly expressed his dissatisfaction with his former club in interviews with the media many times, believing that the team did not give him more room to show off. In fact, he is no worse than Wang Feng at all.
Judging from the regular season performance, this seems to be the case.
After being traded to the Mavericks, Barnes quickly became the core of the perimeter that the Mavericks vigorously cultivated. He gained a lot of shooting rights and his personal data soared rapidly. After the regular season, his personal season data was fixed at 19.6 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.8 assists.
The rate is 46.8%, which is slightly higher than Wang Feng.
Just by looking a little closer, someone can notice the difference.
The two have similar shooting percentages. Wang Feng averages fewer shots per game than Barnes, but his scoring is slightly ahead of Barnes, and Barnes has more free throws.
The reason for this situation comes from three-pointers.
Wang Feng's three-pointers with a shooting rate of 48% can provide nearly 12 points in each game. The efficiency is much higher than that of Barnes, whose main scoring methods focus on mid-range and breakthrough. His ball possession rate is very low, similar to Thompson.
Imitation of the top and bottom.
What's more important is that Wang Feng not only has efficient and concise scoring methods on the offensive end, but also makes huge contributions on the defensive end!
In comparison, Barnes' performance on the defensive end of the Mavericks was not outstanding.
When the Warriors made a killing in the regular season and harvested various records, there was actually nothing worth arguing about which of the two should be kept. Only Barnes felt aggrieved and thought that he
been treated unfairly.
"If I were still on that Warriors team, then all the honors Wang Feng has now should belong to me, 74 wins in the regular season! 35 consecutive wins!"
Every time he thought about this, Barnes felt very unhappy.
"Wang Feng! Even if I can't stop the Warriors in the playoffs, I still want you to look good!"
