But since last year's Olympic Games, Durant has always been defeated every time he meets Wang Feng. He is clearly recognized as the stronger one, but he is always suppressed by the opponent in the game.
This season, the situation has worsened.
The two regular season games ended with the Warriors losing. It was just that they couldn't beat the Cavaliers. The Warriors' record performance was not as good as last season. As the only change in the Warriors' main lineup, Durant inexplicably received a lot of infamy.
This also made it increasingly difficult for him to accept.
His purpose in coming to the Warriors is to win the championship, but if all kinds of doubts surround him, will he really be satisfied even if he succeeds in winning the championship?
…
"Wang Feng and Durant were locked in a battle. He kept beating Durant in singles, and the success rate was so high. This was because he didn't take Durant's defense into consideration at all. Although Durant's defensive ability is indeed not
It’s the top level in the league, but it’s not bad.”
"Durant was obviously a little dissatisfied with being beaten by Wang Feng in isolation. He started to attack Wang Feng in isolation, but his shooting rate was a bit..."
The game has entered the fourth quarter. Durant has played nearly 30 minutes in total, and he has taken a lot of shots before, which consumes a lot of physical energy. In addition, he also has to defend Wang Feng, who has taken over the offensive banner of the Cavaliers.
Both ends consume energy at the same time, and there is also the interference effect of the purple defensive shock badge. The decline in scoring efficiency is an inevitable result.
The two went back and forth for several rounds. Wang Feng made 4 of 6 shots and scored 9 points, while Durant only scored 2 points on 1 of 4 shots. The original point difference was immediately recovered.
For the Warriors, Cole had to call a timeout, and was secretly annoyed at the same time.
"Damn it... As expected, Wang Feng has become the most unstable factor in this game!"
What he was most worried about and feared happened.
In the direct confrontation between Wang Feng and Durant, it was actually Durant who really suffered the loss!
Although Durant's score is now higher than Wang Feng's, it would be a mistake to use Wang Feng to benchmark Durant's behavior. Durant is a weapon used to deal with James, not Wang Feng!
The Warriors gave up renewing Wang Feng's contract last summer and instead signed Durant in order to allow the Warriors to remain more competitive. But the result now is that they did get Durant and have
With two MVP-level superstars, the depth of the lineup is even stronger.
But at the same time, they also let Wang Feng join the Cavaliers and create a strong enemy with his own hands!
If he had known that Wang Feng could grow to such an extent in just three seasons, Cole would have blocked the management's decision anyway and tried to keep Wang Feng against all objections.
After all, when the Warriors faced the Cavaliers in the Finals two years ago, it was not as difficult as it is now.
However, Cole has had this feeling of regret countless times this season, and no matter how much he regrets it, it will no longer help.
Wang Feng has left the team. This is an indisputable fact. What he can do at this time is to do everything possible to let the team win this game. Otherwise, the Warriors forming a super lineup this season will become the most ridiculous joke in the league!
"Kevin, I know you want to prove yourself urgently, but you must understand that if we lose the final game, no matter how shocking your personal data is, you will be a loser, we are all the same."
Cole looked at Durant and said in a deep voice: "Now you must put down everything and act according to the team's tactical arrangements, do you understand?"
Durant didn't speak, but after a moment of silence, he nodded.
"Coach, I understand. I will stay calm on the field and not be angered by Wang Feng's provocation."
…
After the timeout, Wang Feng immediately discovered that Durant was no longer competing with him.
After all, Durant is the league's top scorer. Wang Feng's ability to unilaterally suppress Durant in the fourth quarter was based on many factors.
First of all, Wang Feng's Purple Hall of Fame-level defensive deterrence just restrains shooters like Durant and Curry who focus on shooting, and can limit their shooting percentages when causing effective interference.
Secondly, Durant took a lot of shots in the first three quarters of the game. In the fourth quarter, his physical fitness was somewhat exhausted, and his offensive ability was far from the peak when he first debuted.
In the end, Wang Feng made full use of Durant's psychology, constantly scoring in front of him in singles, and at the same time making provocative words to make him agitated. Many offensive methods were also handled poorly, and his shooting percentage became even lower when he forced his shots.
.
After this operation, he finally took the opportunity to hold down Durant and beat him violently for several minutes. Unexpectedly, after a timeout, Durant was able to endure the anger.
"It seems that winning the championship is so attractive to him that he can tolerate being provoked like this by himself."
Fortunately, at least Wang Feng used this operation to successfully recover the previous points difference.
There are still 8 minutes left before the end of the game. It is impossible for both sides to send in substitute players. With almost the same starting line, the two sides will fight against each other in a real battle.
Let's see who is more worthy of winning the game!
When the Warriors attack, the ball is in Green's hands. The Warriors' three top perimeter players are placed in three different positions, stretching the space on the court to the limit.
Then, Curry moved!
At this critical moment, Cole is still more willing to believe in Curry.
Curry, who ran to Green's side to receive the pass, didn't pause at all. He jumped directly on the spot and shot directly one step away from the three-point line!
Irving, who was following Curry, was separated by Green who crossed his body to pick and roll after passing the ball, creating enough space for Curry to shoot.
The basketball flew high, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then hit the net.
3 point hit.
Curry is indeed worthy of trust, but on the Cavaliers side, James has also begun to exert his final efforts!
After receiving the pass in the mid-range, James posted up and Green squeezed into the inside and forced a layup. Green caused a defensive foul and scored the ball at the same time. He successfully scored 2+1 and made a free throw. It was also a three-pointer.
.
In the next few minutes, the Warriors attacked around Curry, while the Cavaliers took over the ball completely with James. The scores of both sides continued to rise alternately. Both teams were desperately trying to strengthen their defensive intensity, but neither could completely restrict the other.
Score.
Whether it is the live audience on the sidelines or the fans watching the game through channels such as TV and online live broadcasts, their hearts are constantly rising and falling as the game progresses, and they are extremely nervous.
Which team can win the game?
Finally, the turning point came with more than 2 minutes left before the end of the game!
During the Warriors' offense, Green stood at the top of the arc with the ball as usual and dealt cards. However, Wang Feng sensed his intention one step ahead and rushed out from the wing to complete the steal!
