Besides offensive points, which data has increased the fastest? The answer is simple, one is rebounds and the other is assists.
As a forward, it is actually a better choice for Wang Feng to strengthen his passing and assisting abilities. Using his strong offensive ability, he can completely draw space to attract double teams and then assist his teammates to score.
But given the current situation of the Lakers, this path is obviously not feasible.
Assists not only depend on the passing ability of the passer, but also require the receiver to have sufficient offensive ability. Otherwise, if a good ball is passed and the shot is missed, the number of assists will naturally be lost.
What's more, just increasing the passing ability value does not directly enhance the assist ability. It just makes Wang Feng's passing more accurate and less prone to mistakes.
But rebounding is different. This is a data value that can be accumulated purely based on personal ability. It is the simplest and most direct on the court.
Rebounding has two related abilities, namely offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding.
Wang Feng's two ability values are 31 and 49 respectively... with a perfect score of 99, he obviously failed.
By strengthening all the remaining 37 free distribution points on defensive rebounds, Wang Feng's defensive rebounds can be directly strengthened to 86!
A defensive rebound rate of 86 is already considered acceptable for post players. In today's league, except for a few top post players such as Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, there are only those who are good at rebounding.
Blue-collar players who focus on rebounding have a defensive rebounding ability value above 90, such as DeAndre Jordan, Hassan Whiteside, Andre Drummond, etc.
As a forward player, it is very good to have a defensive rebounding rate of over 80. At least as far as Wang Feng knows, James' defensive rebounding was only around 80 during his peak period. Last season, he averaged a triple-double and 10.7 rebounds per game.
Westbrook's defensive rebounding ability value is about 75.
Of course, Westbrook's rebounds have no reference value. Many rebounds were picked up by centers blocking positions for him. If he really relied on himself, he would not be able to average double figures in rebounds per game.
Wang Feng's 86 defensive rebounds, relying solely on himself without any help, should not be a big problem if he averages eight or nine rebounds per game. If the team plays at a faster pace and has a blue-collar center to help block positions.
Rebounds and double figures are not difficult.
The same data per game, a double-double of 20 points and 20+10 are conceptually completely different.
With the strengthening of defensive rebounding completed, Wang Feng's last free points were finally squandered.
Unfortunately, the improvement in defensive rebounding ability did not increase Wang Feng's overall rating, which remained at 93 points.
With an overall rating of 93, if we look at the 2K18 game released at the same time, Wang Feng's ability is enough to rank among the top ten in the league. Players with a higher overall ability rating than him can be counted on two hands, including James and Duran.
Special, Curry, Leonard, Harden, Westbrook and just a few others.
…
September passed quickly, and time entered October 2017, when the NBA preseason began.
The Lakers' first preseason game will be against the Timberwolves on October 1.
The two underdogs in the Western Conference were the best in last year's regular season, one with 26 wins and the other with 31 wins.
In the new season, both teams have improved their lineups, especially the Timberwolves. After acquiring Jimmy Butler through a trade, the Timberwolves' goal for the new season is to hit the playoffs, which at least looks better than the Lakers.
A little bit stronger.
In this game, the duel between the two top small forwards, Wang Feng and Butler, was the focus of the game.
However, neither of them played very long in their preseason debut. One played 11 minutes and the other 14 minutes. They did not directly compete on the court. However, Lakers forward Brandon Ingram performed well in this game.
, scored 24 points on 8-for-18 shooting, helping the Lakers win their first preseason victory.
On October 3, the Lakers played the second preseason game against the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center.
In his first game at his home court, Wang Feng played a few more minutes, playing 21 minutes and scoring 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals on 6-of-10 shooting.
In this game, the best performer was this year's rookie Kyle Kuzma, who scored 23 points and 10 rebounds.
The current Lakers team has not much else but a lot of potential rookies.
The next few preseason games were like a stage for rookies to show off. Ball, Randall and others also performed well. The overall performance of the Lakers was quite good, and even gave Lakers fans a sense of
It feels like the team is about to take off this season.
Wang Feng knew very well that this was just an illusion.
If you perform well in the preseason, you will perform well in the regular season. People who think this way generally don't have very good brains.
In Wang Feng's view, this group of rookies are very young. Their defensive intensity in the preseason is low, and no team uses direct defensive tactics against them. Therefore, they can be a little arrogant. Once they are targeted in the regular season, they will immediately
The true colors are revealed.
Of course, these young players are also the pride of the league, and even if they are targeted, they will not perform too poorly.
In Wang Feng’s impression, this season’s Lakers team has many players averaging double figures per game. Among them, Ingram, Kuzma and Randle all average 16.1 points per game, and Lonzo Ball averages 16.1 points per game.
10 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, coupled with Jordan Clarkson's 14.5 points per game and Brook Lopez's 13 points, the overall game looks pretty good.
But the lack of an arrow-type offensive scorer is the biggest shortcoming of this Lakers team, and no one in this group can stand up and have the ability to provide the team with a stable and powerful scoring output.
Therefore, in the 2017-18 season, the Lakers ranked 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 35 wins and 47 losses. Although they improved by 9 wins from 26 wins and 56 losses last season, the difference is not big.
But now that Wang Feng is here, the situation is different.
Throughout the preseason, the Lakers achieved a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, which was a remarkable performance. The fans in Los Angeles were very satisfied with it and felt that these young players would definitely bring surprises in the new season. However, the media who understand football,
But they collectively badmouthed the Lakers.
"Compared with last season, the Lakers have not made significant progress. The tactical system is in a mess. Both offense and defense basically rely on the individual performance of the players. It is completely impossible to see how the role of the coach has been played. I thought the team's newly selected second overall pick was
Zoe Ball can assume the responsibility of connecting the whole team, but judging from a few games in the preseason, his father’s mouth may be better than his football skills.”
In front of the harsh media, Wang Feng, who didn't play very seriously in the preseason, was shot while lying down.
"Wang Feng, who chose to join the Lakers, seems very confident that he has the ability to lead a group of rookies to achieve results. I believe he will soon understand the real reason why he won the championship for three consecutive seasons."
