Anthony, who couldn't squeeze in, could only end the attack with a fadeaway jumper. However, just like in the first attack, Wang Feng, who jumped much higher than before, could not block shots, but the degree of interference was higher than before.
It was much stronger before.
In front of the strengthened Wang Feng, Anthony's only advantage was gone. He was blocked by Wang Feng for several consecutive rounds of attacks.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, took this opportunity to attack one after another, starting with a strong 12:2 to take advantage.
"Damn it...how could this happen?"
The situation was completely beyond Anthony's expectation.
He didn't expect that he would behave so badly in front of Wang Feng, and he was no match for him!
Although Anthony has understood that in terms of comprehensive ability, he may not be as good as Wang Feng now, but he shouldn't be so exaggerated?
Throughout the first quarter, Anthony only scored 4 points on 2 of 7 shots, while Wang Feng got three shots from outside the three-point line, hit 2 goals and scored 6 points.
The Cavaliers led by 16 points at 33:17 in the first quarter.
After establishing a huge advantage, the Cavaliers carried out a large-scale rotation in the second quarter. Only Irving was left on the court in the starting lineup, and everyone else came off the court to rest.
Irving and James are both players with the ability to attack with the ball, so they can stagger the time of holding the ball to ensure the Cavaliers' distribution of ball rights.
Having said that, the Cavaliers' lineup is not ideal.
Although players such as Richard Jefferson, Channing Fletcher, and JaVale McGee once had great success and were good role players, their current competitive level is far from what it used to be, even with Irving leading the team.
It's not that interesting.
The Knicks were led by substitute player Brandon Jennings, and the two sides actually fought hard to determine the winner.
Wang Feng frowned slightly.
When it comes to bench depth, the gap between the Cavaliers and the Warriors is too big.
The Warriors' bench can be considered the strongest bench lineup in the league, with Ying Guodala and Livingston carrying them, and any one of Curry, Durant and Thompson can lead the team on the bench.
The Cavaliers are different. The only points that can attack with the ball are James and Irving.
It is not difficult for Irving to rely on his personal ability to score at critical moments, but leading the team to victory...
Before James returned to the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers, under the leadership of Irving, dived downward year after year to win the No. 1 pick. Even after partnering with James, whenever James was absent due to injury and Irving led the team alone in the game, the Cavaliers also failed.
Never won a game.
Wang Feng doesn't even know who gave Irving the confidence that after this season he will not be willing to be James' little brother and run to the Celtics to become the team leader.
As a time traveler, Wang Feng is well aware of all kinds of sexy moves behind Irving.
After three years with the Celtics, he became the player least needed in the Green Army lineup. The Celtics were stronger without him than with him.
Then he went to the Nets, and due to injuries that ended the season, the Nets entered the playoffs with a 51.2% regular season winning rate without Irving. The next season, Irving returned, although the team barely made it to the playoffs.
In the playoffs, the winning rate was lower than the previous season, only 48.6%.
Later, Durant left the Warriors to join the Nets, and successfully attracted a group of talented veterans to join. The Nets suddenly became the favorites to win the championship... Everyone can see the results of the Nets in the next two years.
Such a player who can be called the cancer of the team can actually be called the number one point guard in some news. Can he just be a good player and be done with it?
Fortunately, Irving has not let himself go at this stage, and James still has the power to control him. Otherwise, Wang Feng would have really considered whether it was the right choice to join the Cavaliers.
Irving led the bench and had a battle with the Knicks' bench. As a result, the original 16-point point difference was recovered to 13 points.
Fortunately, the main players of the Cavaliers began to return one after another. James immediately regained the initiative on the court and attacked with a set of combination punches. Before the end of the second quarter, he scored 6 points in a row and restored the score gap.
Pull open.
The Knicks are already the bottom team in the league and have no capital to compete with the Cavaliers.
When the game entered the third quarter, the Cavaliers were no longer in the mood to continue playing.
Wang Feng started to exert his strength!
As soon as the game started in the third quarter, Wang Feng suddenly took a shot at the top of the arc at a 45-degree angle from the three-point line, one step away from the three-point line.
The remote turret is paired with the hot zone hunter. The two badges take effect at the same time, and the basketball hits the net.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Feng was in another hot zone, catching the ball from the mid-range on the right baseline and hitting a fadeaway jumper.
In the third round, there was a flaw in the Knicks' ball transfer process. Wang Feng rushed out of the air to complete the steal. Then one person quickly came down with the ball and successfully scored a layup.
Wang Feng scored 7 points in a row, directly widening the point difference between the two teams to more than 20 points.
The huge score difference made the game completely lose suspense.
The Knicks stopped struggling and decisively put on a full bench and surrendered in advance.
117:88, the Cavaliers finally defeated the Knicks at home by 29 points, winning a beautiful start.
Throughout the game, James had the most luxurious statistics, scoring a triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists.
Irving scored a game-high 27 points, and his shooting percentage was pretty good, maintaining around 45%.
Love's touch was slightly worse, making 6 of 15 shots, with a shooting percentage of just over 40%. It was obvious that he was not used to the transition from power forward to center, but he still scored 19 points due to a relatively large number of free throws.
As for Wang Feng, his regular season debut with the Cavaliers was quite satisfactory. He did not score as many points as he did in the preseason, but his efficiency was quite high.
Made 9 of 13 shots, including 4 three-pointers, and scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 4 steals.
Wang Feng's statistics are mediocre, but anyone who has watched the game will be surprised to find one thing. Wang Feng's holding time with the ball is extremely short, and he spends most of the time on the court attacking without the ball, almost as much as Thompson.
The Warriors' positioning is exactly the same.
This is obviously the most suitable way of playing for the Cavaliers. Without James and Irving's ball rights being affected, the team has another off-ball shooter who can average 20+ points per game.
More importantly, Wang Feng's role is not only reflected in the offensive aspect.
In this game, Wang Feng was guarding Anthony throughout the game. This All-Star player, a super scorer who ranks among the best in history in terms of scoring ability, performed poorly under Wang Feng's defense. He made 5 of 18 shots and only scored 14 points.
3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 turnovers.
It was the poor performance of the team's first scoring point that caused the Knicks to collapse early in the game.
