Chapter 167 The hot zone is selected, the regular season begins!
(Second update, there will be another chapter later)
The system's hot zone hunter will divide the half field into 14 areas, and the number of hot zones will be determined according to the level of the badge.
The location of the hot zone is determined by the players and cannot be changed once selected.
The lowest level bronze hot zone hunter badge can provide 1 hot zone, and the silver badge can choose 2 hot zones.
Wang Feng’s golden all-star hot zone hunter can choose from 4 hot zones.
Wang Feng doesn't know how many hot zones the top purple Hall of Fame level hot zone hunter can provide, but according to this ratio, it should be around 6.
The number of hot zones that the system can select may not sound like a lot, but the system's hot zone hunters actually enhance the shooting percentage. As long as you stand within the hot zone, your shooting percentage will be effectively improved, so the number of hot zones is impossible.
Like so many in the game.
"There are 4 hot zones, and once selected, they cannot be changed...you must choose carefully."
Wang Feng thought in his heart.
With a slight movement of his mind, he immediately entered the system badge interface in the consciousness space, and the golden hot zone hunter badge hanging quietly in the shooting badge column flashed.
At the same time, a translucent half-court aerial view of the basketball court appeared in front of Wang Feng, and it was divided into 14 areas.
At this time, these 14 areas are all a lighter transparent color.
Wang Feng thought for a while, then pointed his finger at the area outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left.
Suddenly, the color of that part of the court changed from transparent to orange.
Wang Feng knew that this was the display color of the hot zone.
Whether it is the official NBA or a sports portal such as a Chinese sports portal, statistics use this color to mark players' shooting hot spots.
"This will make it easier!"
The 45-degree top arc positions of the three-point line on the left and right sides are areas that Wang Feng must light up, because part of the range in this area coincides with the bottom corner three-point position, which can trigger the effect of the bottom corner three-point shooter badge, and the range is also
The three-point position from the bottom corner is wider than the normal one, and the tactical selectivity is also higher.
After these two areas were lit up, Wang Feng was in a dilemma with the remaining two positions.
Once the hot zone is selected, the settings cannot be changed, which makes Wang Feng's difficulty in choosing particularly painful.
After all, all areas on the basketball court are very important to players, and no one is sure whether they will be used in the future.
After some struggle, Wang Feng decided to choose one hot zone in the middle distance of the baseline on the right side of his dominant hand, and the other in the middle distance of the free throw line.
After going through the Olympic Games, Wang Feng deeply understood how a single technical feature would be targeted.
In fact, his skills were not unique at that time, but opponents could still carefully study the game videos and analyze his relatively weak skills, such as dribbling with his non-dominant hand and poor resistance at the basket.
Therefore, he wants to spread out the hot zones as much as possible to enhance his offensive diversity.
In the area outside the three-point line, two are enough. When the opponent really defends against three-pointers at all costs, no matter it is a hot zone hunter or any badge, it is impossible to completely ignore the opponent's strict defense.
Only when your offensive abilities become more diversified can your opponents be hard to defend against.
After selecting the Hot Zone Hunter Hot Zone, Wang Feng obviously felt that he had become stronger than before, and he could not wait for the arrival of the new season.
…
October 25, 2016.
The opening game of the regular season officially begins.
The Cleveland Cavaliers face the New York Knicks at home.
The Cavaliers wanted to rely on this game to build momentum, so they couldn't let go and directly sent the strongest starting lineup of Irving, JR Smith, Wang Feng, James and Love.
The Knicks have a partnership of Derrick Rose, Courtney Lee, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah.
Let me put it this way, if all members of the Knicks' lineup are at their peak, on paper, they really have the ability to compete with the Cavaliers.
Unfortunately, the implementation situation is that Rose, the youngest regular season MVP and a genius of the generation, was ruined by injuries, Noah, the best defensive player, has declined significantly, and Anthony, who was once one of the strongest scoring forwards in the league, has frequently suffered injuries in the past few years.
Even though he is ill, he no longer has the courage he once had.
The strength of the two teams is not at the same level at all.
It is worth mentioning that when the Cavaliers' home starting players were introduced, Wang Feng was the fourth player from the bottom after James, Irving and Love.
Although Wang Feng is better than Irving and Love in both last season's regular season playoffs and this season's preseason performance, he is an outsider after all, and it is impossible for the Cavaliers to let him down as soon as he arrives.
Irving and Love gave way to Wang Feng.
Wang Feng doesn't care about such trivial matters. As long as he is not the last one to appear in the finale, it doesn't mean much whether he is second, third or fourth.
In the Cavaliers, the absolute boss must be James, which is one of the reasons why Wang Feng only signed a one-year contract with the Cavaliers.
…
The game begins and players from both sides appear.
In the jump ball session, Porzingis beat Love and the Knicks had the ball.
After Rose took possession of the ball for half the game, he quickly passed the basketball to Anthony. The former Windy City Rose is no longer the core of the tactics.
After Anthony caught the basketball, he looked at Wang Feng, who took a step forward and stood in front of him.
"Wang Feng..."
Anthony looked at Wang Feng, his face expressionless, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
He still remembers clearly that when Wang Feng first started in the NBA, it was the game that limited him successfully.
In that game, Anthony's shooting percentage was less than 30% when he was guarded by Wang Feng, which was a huge loss. And that was already two seasons ago.
At that time, Wang Feng was just an unknown person in Anthony's eyes, not even qualified to take a look at him.
Who would have thought that in less than two years, Wang Feng would have grown into an even better forward player than he is now?
Anthony was deeply impressed by Wang Feng's performance at the Olympic Games two months ago.
At that time, Anthony's participation in the Olympics was just a matter of improving his seniority. He did not play many moments. More often, young players such as Durant, Irving, and Thompson served as the main scoring points.
Because of this, watching Wang Feng compete with other players off the court gave Anthony a greater impact.
He couldn't help but put himself in Wang Feng's position. Imagine if it were him, facing that kind of intense high-pressure defense, would his performance be as good as Wang Feng's?
The answer is no. If it was Anthony at his peak, it might be possible, but with his current slow breakthrough speed and lack of stable mid- and long-range shooting, it is simply impossible.
"However, having said that, don't underestimate me too much... I have to let you know that old age is still hot."
After sighing, Anthony's eyes flashed with cold light.
Although his condition has declined severely, he is still the highest-scoring offensive core in the Knicks, and he is the man known as the offensive kaleidoscope!
