It was a defensive foul by Barnes just now, so the Pacers served from the sideline at this time.
Wang Feng is 2.01 meters tall and plays the role of a swingman at small forward and shooting guard. At this time, he is replaced by small forward Harrison Barnes, so the opposing player is the Pacers' small forward.
The Indiana Pacers had one of the league's top small forwards, Paul George, in 2015. However, during this period, Paul George suffered the most serious injury in his career and was reimbursed for the season. The Pacers lacked the biggest star in the team.
Next, the record this season has shrunk significantly, ranking only around ten in the Eastern Conference.
This is definitely not a strong team, let alone compared to the current Warriors!
This season, the Warriors established a new lineup, and after entering the lineup with the Death Five as the main force, the record has been improving all the way. The current record ranks first in the league! And not surprisingly, according to the historical process, when this season
After the end, the Warriors will enter the playoffs with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses and finally win the championship trophy!
There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, but in this game, the Warriors had a very difficult time.
The star Curry took a rest, and the team, except for Thompson, felt abnormal. In addition, the Pacers substitute guard Rodney Stuckey exploded. He scored 25 points in three quarters, 9 of 12 shots, and a shooting percentage of 75%.
, neither Thompson, Yingodala nor Barnes can limit his scoring!
At this time, the game has entered the fourth quarter, with about 8 minutes left before the end of the game. The score between the two teams is 85:94, and the Warriors are 9 points behind!
The game time is enough, and a 9-point deficit is not too much. With the Warriors' strong offensive firepower, as long as the players recover, they have a chance to equalize and take the lead!
Pacers center Luo Yin. Hibbert served from the baseline and passed the ball to the team's point guard George Hill. The latter stood at the top arc with the ball and dribbled the basketball a few times before passing the ball directly to the hot-touch player.
Starkey.
As a shooting guard, Stuckey's opponent should have been Clay Thompson, who is also a shooting guard. However, with Curry taking a rest, Thompson, as the team's main offensive point, will naturally not waste his energy to defend the opponent's offensive firepower.
The strongest player, the important task of defending Starkey falls on the small forward!
Previously, it was starting small forward Barnes who was mainly defending Stuckey. As a result, with Barnes on his head, Stuckey scored 25 points in three quarters.
Now that Wang Feng is on the bench as a substitute small forward, he naturally forms a counterpoint with Stucky.
Standing at a 45-degree angle with the ball, Starkey looked at the Asian-faced player in front of him who was slightly taller than him.
"Who is this guy? I don't have much impression..."
As a professional player, although Stuckey was only a backup guard for the Pacers, he also served as a starter in the first eight seasons of his career. At his peak, he averaged 16.6 points and 4.8 assists per game, basically outperforming all 30 teams in the league.
All players and their technical characteristics are well known.
But he really had no impression of Wang Feng in front of him.
"I guess this guy is just a bench player..."
Starkey thought secretly in his heart without taking it seriously at all.
He was in a hot state today. Not to mention a little-known rookie, even when facing defensive heroes such as Barnes and Yingodala, he showed no mercy at all!
After playing in the league for nine seasons, Stuckey's status has gradually declined. Especially this season, it is the season with the lowest statistics since his rookie season. His status in the team is also getting lower and lower. Now he finally has a touch.
With the hot opportunity, he must score as many points as possible to prove himself!
At this moment, there is a rookie standing in front of me. How can I miss this rare opportunity?
Without any hesitation, Stucky dribbled the ball slowly and suddenly took the ball and forced a breakthrough from Wang Feng's right side!
As a player who uses breakthroughs as his main offensive method, Stucky's speed and explosive power are extremely strong! The first step is quite fast!
Barnes, who had previously been guarding him, was young and strong, and could barely keep up with him. But if it were the old Yingodala, he would be left behind in just one step!
However, what Stucky didn't expect was that as soon as he started, Wang Feng immediately moved sideways and blocked his breakthrough route!
"So fast!"
Stucky was shocked, this guy moved laterally faster than Barnes before!
Caught off guard, he had no time to react and bumped directly into Wang Feng.
At this time, Stucky was shocked to discover that Wang Feng's power was much greater than he imagined! With this collision, he felt as if he had hit a wall. His body suddenly lost balance and almost fell to the ground.
land!
"squeak--!"
The whistle sounded immediately.
The referee on the sidelines raised his hand to signal Wang Feng to block the foul.
"Holy shit!"
Wang Feng was a little speechless, but more of a surprise.
"Is the numerical bonus provided by the system actually so effective?"
After inheriting the memory and body of another self, he has almost instinctive control over this body, so he knows very well that the original self is far from as strong as he showed just now in terms of speed, strength and explosive power! If it had been before
, I’m afraid the opponent’s breakthrough step will be directly passed by him!
"Be careful, otherwise you will get a foul if you are not careful!"
Cole, who was watching this scene with his arms folded on his chest at the side of the field, was slightly startled.
"this……?"
As the head coach, he knows the situation of every player on the team very well, including Wang Feng, a player from China. Except for his mid-range and long-range shooting, he is completely useless in other aspects.
Hu Tu!
The offense is not good, and the defense is even worse. The body is thin and lacks the ability to fight. It is difficult to even connect the ball under high-intensity defense!
But just now, facing an opponent who was much better physically than him, Wang Feng actually had the upper hand in physical confrontation, which somewhat surprised Cole.
"Maybe it was an accident. He happened to predict the opponent's direction. It happened that the opponent's footing was not stable, so he fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation."
With this thought in his mind, Cole didn't pay too much attention.
The Pacers continued to serve from the sideline, and the basketball returned to Stucky's hands.
Although the referee just called a blocking foul, Wang Feng actually kept up with Stucky's breakthrough, which made this veteran who has been playing in the NBA for many years a little embarrassed.
"This guy is probably a dead rookie who hasn't played a few games in total! If I can't even beat him, how can I still be around in the league in the future?"
Starkey holds the ball in the top arc, his eyes fixed on Wang Feng, full of aggression! Anyone who sees it knows what he wants to do.
Seeing Starkey's eyes, Wang Feng was actually happy.
"This guy, wants to meet me again?"
That’s great! Wang Feng is worried that he can’t show himself!
