Chapter 24 The first time to serve as the death five!
Wang Feng doesn't care whether Barnes is willing to do so, squeezing out Barnes and becoming the Warriors' starting small forward. This is Wang Feng's goal from the beginning!
The 14-15 season is the period when the Warriors are on the rise. Being able to seize this opportunity and reap the dividends of the Warriors winning the championship will be of great help to Wang Feng to gain a foothold in the NBA!
Regardless of the bonus of winning the championship, from the technical characteristics of the badge currently held by Wang Feng, the Warriors are also the team that best suits him.
The Splash Brothers, both Curry and Thompson, are gentle and selfless players who never hesitate to share the ball.
Moreover, the two's super three-pointers can also perfectly open up the space and create opportunities for Wang Feng, who currently only has the lethality of three-pointers from the bottom corner!
"I have to stay with the Warriors! You can only blame yourself for your misfortune!"
As Wang Feng walked down the field, he turned back and looked at Barnes indifferently.
…
The game on the field is still going on.
Curry, who had been resting for a long time, finally started to recover after feeling cold in the first half.
Curry first hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, then rushed inside and relied on Tristan Thompson to score a layup!
The remaining time of the third quarter ended quickly, and at this time the difference between the two teams was only 3 points!
However, what the Warriors didn't expect at all was that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kevin Love, one of the Cavaliers' Big Three, suddenly broke out without any warning!
At the beginning of the game, Love hit a shot from outside the three-point line! He then hit Green on the back and scored successfully!
Immediately afterwards! James missed the mid-range shot, and Love grabbed the rebound and tipped in again! He scored 7 points in a row!
What's worse is that the Splash Brothers were once again heavily guarded by the Cavaliers and failed to score for two consecutive rounds of offense! The point difference quickly reached double digits again!
Cole stood on the sidelines, his forehead pounding, and he urgently called a timeout.
"Wang Feng! Get ready to play again!"
When Wang Feng, who was sitting nearby, heard this, he immediately jumped up from the bench! His face was filled with joy!
"Yes! Coach!"
He has already played 7 minutes in today's game! But now that the team is in danger, the head coach lets him play again at this time, obviously hoping that he can turn the tide again!
Letting a substitute role player save the team may be a bit fantasy when it comes to talking about it, but so what? As long as Wang Feng can do it, he will definitely be able to take a further step in the team!
"Wang Feng and Andre will come on the court in a moment. Drummond, you move to the center position and speed up the tempo of the game! Take back the initiative!"
When the Warriors players came off the court, especially Barnes, their expressions were a little dull when they heard Cole say such words.
Green serves as the center, which is obviously the Warriors' big move lineup this season-the five small players of death!
In the previous lineup, Barnes played a very important role! Because in this lineup of all small men, he was the only one who could barely hold the power forward position, assisting Green to guard the inside and grab rebounds.
But now, Cole has abandoned him and let Wang Feng play instead!
Wang Feng plays in a five-small lineup? Are you kidding me? With his small body, he can only play as a guard or small forward. If he plays the power forward position, it will be a mismatch! Anyone can easily defeat him alone!
But this was head coach Cole's judgment. Barnes opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Although he considers himself the team's No. 4 player, he is still just a player after all, and he has no guts to question or disobey the head coach's arrangements.
Just like that, after a short pause, Wang Feng followed Curry, Thompson and other main players towards the court.
"That guy is at it again!"
Many Cavaliers fans outside the court saw Wang Feng on the stage, and their expressions changed slightly for a moment.
In the third quarter, Wang Feng's performance was still fresh in their memory.
A little-known bench player actually exchanged points with James. In the entire third quarter, James scored 12 points, and Wang Feng actually scored 15 points! And all of them were three-pointers, a total of 5!
In addition, Wang Feng had no touch with Irving during the entire third quarter, and only hit 2 goals in 8 shots. As a result, the Cavaliers had problems with their offense and had to rely on James to support him.
Now that the Cavaliers have finally re-established their advantage with Love's explosion, this guy is on the court again!
"Hmph! Don't panic! It's just a substitute. He was lucky before and just missed a few three-pointers by chance. Can he continue to rely on it? Besides, our defense has begun to increase our defensive intensity. Even Curry and
Thompson's shooting percentage has also been affected, let alone a substitute player?"
…
Wang Feng, who returned to the court, took a deep breath and then stood in front of LeBron James.
What Barnes thought was right. Although Wang Feng, who is 2.01 meters tall, is close to Barnes in height, he is limited by his weight and strength and cannot guard against inside players!
The defensive badges he has mastered are also skill badges for outside players.
Therefore, as a small lineup of the death five, he can only appear at the third position, leaving Yingodala to play the fourth position.
Although James is as powerful as or even stronger than many inside players, most of his offenses are still launched from the outside! As long as the offense is launched from the outside, the Death Coil Badge will be activated and take effect!
No matter whether the golden death coil can be effective on James, it is still better than nothing.
What's more, in this game, James has scored 36 points so far! No matter it is Ying Guodala, Green, Barnes or Thompson, they are completely unable to limit his scoring, and it will be the same no matter who he replaces!
The strongest point of the Death Five is not their defense, but their extremely terrifying offense.
At this time, the five players on the Warriors field, except for Green, are all players with three-point shooting ability. Even Yingodala, who is not good at shooting three-pointers, has a shooting rate of about 35% on outside three-pointers.
The super three-point threat makes the Warriors' shooting space quite exaggerated!
The Warriors attacked, and Wang Feng and Thompson immediately moved to the bottom corner, one on the left and one on the right.
Needless to say, Thompson, Wang Feng is now also the Cavaliers' key target due to his accurate three-pointer in the third quarter, and it is the opponent James who is responsible for tracking!
Seeing Wang Feng standing in the bottom corner, James did not dare to leave too far, so he could only follow Wang Feng and leave the inside line.
On the other side, Ying Guodala was also on the outside, forcing Love to follow from the inside.
As a result, Cavaliers center Mozgov is the only one left inside.
Then, Green ran directly from the inside to screen for Curry.
Mozgov had no choice but to follow and help defend Curry. After all, if he didn't follow and Irving was blocked by Green, Curry would have enough space to shoot a three-pointer!
Let Curry calmly shoot three-pointers from the outside, which can really kill people!
