Unbelievable! Even if Curry, who has a normal touch, shoots in this way, it is difficult to guarantee a hit rate!
But Wang Feng just did it!
This key three-pointer directly reversed the situation on the court!
The Cavaliers' original 2-point lead instantly turned into a 1-point deficit! At this time, there was only 1 minute left before the end of the game!
60 seconds, if you deliberately slow down the rhythm, can only support three rounds of offense!
For the Cavaliers, there is still a chance! As long as the next goal is scored, the initiative will be regained!
And even if they fail to score, as long as they can prevent the Warriors' subsequent attacks, they will still have a chance to win in the end!
The Cavaliers called a timeout!
Although there is still room for error, the ideal situation is to steadily score the next round of offense and regain the initiative.
Of course, Cole of the Warriors also understands this truth, so he has already begun arranging player rotation.
Curry was taken off the court and replaced by center Bogut!
The Death Five lineup was dismantled. Clay Thompson moved to the point guard position and was responsible for guarding Irving. Ying Guodala moved to the shooting guard position. Green was moved from the center position to the power forward. Blue-collar center Bogut will maximize his position.
Improve the Warriors' ability to protect the basket!
The only position that has not changed is Wang Feng at the small forward position.
The Warriors, who have always played a small lineup, saw their average height increase instantly under Cole's arrangements. The shortest player on the team is actually Yingodala who is 1.98 meters tall!
Without Curry as a scoring arrow, this lineup's offensive capabilities are greatly reduced. However, without Curry's shortcomings on the defensive end, the team's defensive capabilities have been greatly improved!
Cole's purpose is very clear, to prevent the Cavaliers' next attack!
The timeout ends and players from both teams return to the field.
Wang Feng looked towards the Cavaliers. Sure enough, the Cavaliers' lineup had also changed.
Mozgov was replaced, Love moved to the center position, and James appeared directly at the power forward position!
The Cavaliers' frontcourt lineup consists of guards Irving, J.R. Smith, and Shumpert at the small forward position.
The situation seems to be completely reversed. The Cavaliers' lineup may not be as fast as the Warriors' Death Five, but all five players have outside shooting capabilities, which can maximize the space, and each one has the ability to become an offensive player.
Endpoint possibilities!
Of course, it was LeBron James who led this attack!
James stood at the top of the arc with the ball, facing a fierce-looking Draymond Green.
Wang Feng, who was facing off previously, was pulled to the bottom corner by Xiang Bo.
In this whole game, Wang Feng can be regarded as the most dazzling presence on the defensive end of the Warriors! Whether it is James, Irving, or even Love, they all suffered losses in front of Wang Feng!
In this critical period, the Cavaliers head coach doesn't want to cause trouble!
Green's defense is certainly very strong and he will most likely be selected for the All-Defensive First Team this season, but compared to Wang Feng, he is still an opponent he has played against before and he knows a little bit about him.
Players like Wang Feng who suddenly appeared out of nowhere cannot understand their playing habits from just one game. There are still too many uncertain factors!
When James played Green alone, he did not rush to attack, but quietly waited for the 24 seconds of attack time to pass by.
Finally, when there were about 10 seconds left in the remaining attack time, James finally started to move!
I saw James carrying Green on his back and rushing straight towards the inside basket! With Green's strength, there was no way he could withstand it!
When Bogut saw this, he immediately rushed to help defend without thinking, but at this moment, James chose to pass the ball!
The person who received the pass from James was Love, who had already withdrawn to the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left side at some point!
"not good!"
Bogut went to help Green defend. After receiving the ball, Love was completely open! He immediately jumped up and prepared to take action!
At this moment! A figure appeared in Le Fu's sight!
It’s Wang Feng again!
Love, who is 2.08 meters tall, has a very high height after taking off. Even if Wang Feng jumps up, he can't reach it! What's more, he has not had time to take off before sprinting with all his strength, so he has no impact in front of Love.
But even though Wang Feng knew this, he still rushed forward without any hesitation!
The defensive shock badge will take effect as long as it interferes with the target, regardless of the degree of interference!
Le Fu has already seen Wang Feng, this is enough!
Wang Feng is not sure how effective the defensive deterrent badge will be in this situation, but no matter what, it is better than doing nothing!
Under Wang Feng's watchful eye, Love took action!
The basketball drew a parabola in the air, and then...
"frame--!"
Missed!
Love's three-point shooting percentage this season is about 36.7%, averaging 2 goals per game. Although he is more accurate than James, his shooting percentage is not very good!
Perhaps Wang Feng’s Purple Hall of Fame-level defensive deterrence had an effect, or perhaps Love’s own three-point shooting was like this. In short, this shot failed to hit!
Green fought tooth and nail to protect the defensive rebound and immediately called a timeout without hesitation!
The Cavaliers missed this round of offense, and there was less than 40 seconds left in the game! The Warriors held a 1-point lead and had absolute initiative! The next focus is how to score the next round of offense!
Curry was reintroduced, along with Harrison Barnes, who was replaced by Ying Guodala.
Wang Feng was still left on the court, perhaps because his performance in this game was too good.
But this is indeed the first time Wang Feng and Barnes have stood on the court at the same time since joining the Warriors!
The moment he came on stage, there was still no smile on Barnes' face.
In this game, he has played too little time! He has played less than 20 minutes so far!
You must know that this season, his average playing time is about 28 minutes per game. He is the player with the most playing time in the team besides the Splash Brothers and Green!
Although he finally appeared on the stage, there were only 40 seconds left before the end of the game!
Barnes knows that in this key attack, he has no chance to touch the ball at all, and the basketball will only be handed over to Curry! All he can do on the court is to open up more space for Curry!
Sure enough, the basketball was quickly passed to Curry.
Barnes watched this scene from the bottom corner of the left three-point line. What was dramatic was that Wang Feng was at the bottom corner of the right three-point line, also looking at Curry holding the ball, with a little envy in his eyes.
Maybe he played well in this game and won the favor of head coach Cole, but even so, at this critical moment, the basketball will still be handed over to Curry, even if Curry's touch is not good, his shooting percentage in this game
Only 32%!
"One day, I will also control the ball at critical moments and become the focus of the spotlight!"
Wang Feng's eyes seemed to be flashing with flames.
…
Curry attacks!
Facing Irving's defense, Curry pretended to shoot and deflected the opponent's center of gravity, and then quickly hit the basket, causing Love to make a defensive foul!
Curry went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws. The score difference became 3 points! There was less than 20 seconds left in the attack time!
The Cavaliers have no way out. Only by scoring a three-pointer to tie the score can they have a chance to drag the game into overtime!
The Cavaliers gave the opportunity to make this shot to Irving, who has the highest three-point shooting percentage on the team!
Relying on his teammates' pick-and-roll screens, Irving successfully found an opportunity to shoot, but he failed to seize the opportunity.
In this game, it was not only Curry and Thompson who felt bad, but also Irving. In the whole game, Irving only hit 2 goals in 8 attempts from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting rate of only 25%!
Love grabbed the offensive rebound, but there was not much time left in the game. There was no way to pass it to the outside and attack again. Scoring 2 points in the paint was of no use!
"drop--!"
When the full-time whistle sounded, the fans at Quicken Loans Center stood up and started to leave with some regret.
117:114, the Warriors won this game with difficulty at the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers!
James shook his head helplessly.
He really wanted to win this game.
In the whole game, James played 36 minutes, made 15 of 25 shots, and scored 42 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists! All three statistics were the highest in the game!
It's a pity that a guy came out of nowhere and ruined everything!
"Well done!"
The Warriors players who won the game happily celebrated each other, and Wang Feng became the most eye-catching presence among them!
There is no way, he played so brilliantly in this game!
When Curry and Thompson, the two core offensive players, felt cold, it was Wang Feng who stepped forward and scored 15 points in the third quarter. He also used defense to successfully contain the Cavaliers' offense and help the team recover the point difference.
!
In the last few rounds of offense and defense in the fourth quarter, Wang Feng stepped forward and sealed the victory of the game!
After the whole game, Wang Feng hit a total of 9 three-pointers! 9 of 12 shots, all from outside the three-point line, with a shooting rate of 75%!
In addition, Wang Feng also contributed 4 steals, scoring 27 points, 3 rebounds and 4 steals! It is like a statistic only for an All-Star player!
For the Warriors, Wang Feng is the only player to score more than 20 points! Apart from him, the best performers were David Lee with 19 points, Curry with 18 points, Thompson with 13 points, and Green with 11 points...
As for the team's starting small forward, Harrison Barnes, he played 21 minutes in this game, made 3 of 8 shots, and only scored 6 points and 3 rebounds!
Looking at Wang Feng, who was surrounded by other Warriors players like stars holding the moon, Barnes' expression was as gloomy as water.
"Damn rookie! Don't be too pushy!"
…
In the middle of the game between the Cavaliers and the Warriors, the major sports portals across the ocean in China were almost going crazy.
Before the game, some people were indeed looking forward to whether Wang Feng, who performed well in the last game, would continue to perform well in this game.
However, many rationale analysts believe that this possibility is very small.
The Cavaliers are not the Knicks. As the favorites to win the championship, the Cavaliers' defense is very good, far from being comparable to the weak teams at the bottom of the league!
Moreover, in Wang Feng's last game, he was actually playing against the Knicks' bench players a lot of the time, and there was not much defensive pressure.
Some people even speculate that in such a high-end showdown between the favorites to win the championship, Wang Feng may not even have a chance to appear!
Unexpectedly, Wang Feng not only appeared on the stage! He also directly became the protagonist!
9 of 12 three-pointers? Faced with Irving many times, James successfully defended? Contributed steals at critical moments and led the team to reverse the lead?
Are you sure this is not Curry? Did Wang Feng get the wrong script?
In less than 2 minutes after the game ended, the headlines of major sports websites were quickly replaced!
"9 three-pointers! Golden State Warriors player Wang Feng scored 27 points!"
"Score in double figures for two consecutive games! The young player competing in the NBA may become the hope of Chinese basketball!"
"The efficiency is amazing! Wang Feng scored 59 points in the past three games! He averaged close to 20 points per game! What made Wang Feng suddenly feel good?"
Just like Jeremy Lin's crazy performance back then, a storm belonging to Wang Feng swept across the entire country of China in a short period of time!
It’s not just China! Even in the United States, the home country of the NBA, Wang Feng’s performance is equally amazing!
What LeBron James of the Cavaliers said at the post-game press conference.
"I don't have much feeling about the Chinese player's three-pointer. Maybe it just feels better, and the existence of two top shooters, Stephen and Kelai, also gives him many open shots."
"But his defense remains fresh in my memory! He is a top perimeter defender! I even see a little bit of Leonard in him!"
James didn't talk much about Wang Feng, but these two comments were enough to make major media in the United States rush to report on it!
Now James is the undisputed number one player in the league and the traffic controller in the NBA! His influence is by no means comparable to that of Anthony, who has become somewhat outdated!
After the last game, Wang Feng may have only attracted the attention of a small number of fans in the United States. After this game with the Cavaliers, I am afraid many people will remember Wang Feng's name!
Even people who don't know Wang Feng will often see his name and wonder in their hearts, "Who is this guy?"
Wang Feng is going to be popular!
But he himself did not focus on these at this time.
At this moment, Wang Feng was at home, frowning and thinking hard.
If he wins the game against the Cavaliers, his mission will be completed!
The system’s rewards are coming as expected!
The new badge rewarded by the system is a defensive badge.
Pick-and-roll dodger improves a player's ability to penetrate and bypass the opponent's screen when defending.
This is an auxiliary defensive badge, obviously biased towards blue-collar workers, which somewhat disappoints Wang Feng.
This type of defensive badge is not very popular in the game.
At this time, Wang Feng's badges are scarce, and he would rather get some badges that directly enhance his offensive capabilities. If not, it would be a good idea to get some badges that directly enhance his defensive capabilities, such as targeting ball thieves or improving reactions.
and quick reactions to judge speed, etc.
However, the mission reward badges are completely random. Wang Feng has no choice but to use whatever comes his way.
In contrast, what he was struggling with at this time was how to allocate the 10 freely allocated attribute points.
