How accurate is Wang Feng's three-point shooting from the corner three-point line?
Only Wang Feng himself understands this issue.
With the addition of the purple corner three-point shooter badge, even though Wang Feng's original three-point shot attribute was only 81, his three-point shooting rate still reached a very good level!
When the ball is open, the two badges of the corner three-point shooter and the catch-and-shooter are active at the same time. Wang Feng is more than 90% sure to put the basketball into the basket!
Even if a defensive player immediately returns to defense, as long as the degree of interference is not too great, the hit rate will not be particularly affected!
Since Cole had already said this, Wang Feng naturally accepted it happily.
Corner three-pointers have great limitations. Once the opponent discovers this characteristic of Wang Feng, they will definitely focus on defense. There are not many opportunities to take advantage of it and score points, so they must seize it!
…
The second half of the game started quickly. Wang Feng did not play directly at first, but sat on the bench for a while to recover a little more strength.
Without Wang Feng, the Warriors' bench level is closer to that of the Knicks, and the score has steadily increased alternately, always maintaining around 25 points.
About 3 minutes later, Cole looked at Wang Feng, nodded slightly, "Get ready to play."
Wang Feng, who had already been gearing up, immediately stood up and appeared on the stage without hesitation.
Wang Feng's reappearance did not attract much attention. Even though he performed very well in the second quarter, not only successfully limiting Anthony's scoring, but also scoring 11 points with a 100% shooting rate, he was just a nameless player after all.
No one knows about the rumored bench players except the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean.
But as he came on the scene, the Warriors' tactics on the field began to change tactically under Cole's prior arrangements.
The Warriors had the ball. After Wang Feng came on the court, he ran straight to the 45-degree three-point line on the right side of the front court and stood still. When other players took their positions, the Warriors' substitute insider pulled out from the basket and opened the door for Wang Feng.
Set an off-ball screen.
No one could have imagined that a group of substitutes would have to cover without the ball while playing on the field. Quincy, who was guarding Wang Feng, was blocked without any precautions. Wang Feng used the screen to fall directly to the right corner!
While the positioning was successful, the basketball also arrived as expected!
The backup point guard holding the ball in the top arc immediately passed the ball to Wang Feng.
During the halftime break, head coach Cole deliberately took out the tactical board and arranged a pick-and-roll cover tactic for Wang Feng. This cover tactic is also often used by the Warriors, and the players are all familiar with it. However, Wang Feng's position is relatively large.
Most of the time it was Thompson who was standing.
Wang Feng caught the ball without hesitation and immediately raised the knife.
It was too late for the Knicks' inside line to come up to cover the defense. The basketball flew into the air and then hit the net!
Another three-pointer!
4 out of 4! Wang Feng’s personal score came to 14 points!
"Sure enough, his corner three-pointers are very stable!"
This scene made Cole even more convinced of Wang Feng's value, and the performance on the field continued!
Wang Feng once again hit a three-pointer but still did not get the attention of the Knicks. Soon he continued to repeat his same tricks, using his teammates' pick-and-roll screens to get open three-point opportunities in the corner. He earned the purple Hall of Fame-level corner three-point shooter badge.
With the help, hitting the shot is so easy!
"brush!"
"brush!"
"brush!"
"Wang Feng! Three-pointer hit!"
"Hey! Wait, how many three-pointers has this guy made?"
Some people began to notice that something was wrong, and at the same time, the big screen at the top of the field also began to display Wang Feng's personal data so far in this game!
23 points! 1 rebound! 3 steals!
7 of 7 three-pointers! 100% shooting percentage!
"Oh my God! Where did this guy come from? This three-pointer looks no worse than Stephen and Kelai!"
"Are the Warriors really a gathering place for three-point shooters?"
"Hey! Give him the ball! Let him keep shooting!"
The fans on the sidelines started making noises, and the Knicks players also began to pay attention.
There is no suspense in this game, but if they are beaten on the head by a rookie like this, they will lose all face!
The Knicks began to strictly defend Wang Feng. Even if his teammates helped with pick-and-roll coverage, it was difficult for Wang Feng to find free opportunities to take action.
Wang Feng's corner three-point ability is indeed very strong, but his limitations are also obvious.
The effective range of the corner three-point shooter badge is limited to the two bottom corners on the left and right sides. Once he leaves this range, his three-point shooting percentage will drop off a cliff!
The three-point shooting ability value of 81 is definitely not high in the NBA. Coupled with the shortcomings in other offensive attributes, it is too difficult to hit three-pointers against defensive players in other positions! Maybe he can get a few goals by relying on a large number of shots.
However, doing so will inevitably significantly lower Wang Feng’s three-point shooting percentage!
You must know that from the last game to now, his three-point shooting percentage is 100%!
"What the Warriors lack now is not strong scoring points, but stable open three-point shooters, plus 3D players with good defensive and assisting abilities!"
Wang Feng knows this very well, so when the opportunity is not good, he does not take action at all, but passes the ball to other players and waits for the opportunity in the bottom corner.
Such a scene, being seen by Cole, is undoubtedly another plus point.
The Warriors are a team with Curry as the core, plus Draymond Green, who has a relatively unique style. These two players almost divide the ball rights in most situations in the game.
Including Thompson, many times on the court, he plays without the ball.
A 3D player like Wang Feng who doesn't occupy the ball at all and can catch the ball in an open position and shoot is what he wants most!
At the end of the third quarter, Wang Feng was substituted and did not appear again in the fourth quarter.
Cole no longer needs to observe more. Wang Feng's performance in this game has completely conquered him.
Moreover, the fourth quarter of the game between the two teams was meaningless.
In the third quarter, Wang Feng's consecutive high-efficiency three-pointers further widened the point difference between the two teams, and before they knew it, it was close to 40 points!
On the Knicks' side, Anthony has completely lost the desire to continue to play and embarrass himself. Both teams played the last quarter of the game with all substitutes.
"drop--!"
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Anthony and other Knicks players almost couldn't wait to get up from the bench and walk towards the tunnel.
On the Warriors' side, the players smiled and high-fived each other, but they didn't show too much excitement.
They are currently No. 1 in the league, and the Knicks are only a team at the bottom of the league. Isn't winning a matter of course?
However, before Wang Feng left the field, he was stopped by reporters on the field.
