Not being able to see Wang Feng VS Leonard disappointed many fans, but Wang Feng's transition to the power forward position was eye-catching.
"In the first season of his career, Wang Feng was just a rookie who could only shoot three-pointers and defend outside. Who would have thought that a few seasons later, he would be so powerful that he could even develop inside offense?"
"Now Wang Feng, in terms of offensive ability alone, has no shortcomings at all. Whether it is three-point long-range shots, mid-to-long-range jump shots, breakthroughs with the ball, or inside steps and skills at the basket, he can do it at his fingertips. In the next few years, the league will
When it comes to the player with the strongest scoring ability, this name may be the first thing people think of."
After defeating the Menglong, the Lakers' record reached 8 wins and 2 losses, still leading the Western Conference.
Wang Feng averaged 34.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.9 steals per game in 10 games. Although his scoring average was slightly lower than last season, his efficiency did not decrease at all, and even improved slightly.
The average of 34.4 points per game currently ranks first in the league's scoring list.
The Houston Rockets had a poor start, and Harden's performance can only be considered average. He currently averages 32 points, 6.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, ranking second in the scoring list.
Wang Feng knew that the 2018-19 season was Harden's breakout season. Throughout the season, Harden scored 60+ points twice, 50+ points 9 times, and 40+ points 28 times. In the end, he averaged 36.1 points per game and won the scoring title.
Paul George, who ranks second in the scoring list, averages only 28 points per game.
The scoring champion is one of the important honors that Wang Feng will never give up. After Wang Feng won the scoring champion last season, the system rewarded him with elite enhancement points that could only break through the ability value limit of 90, although it was only limited to offensive ability values.
, it can only strengthen the ability values related to the shooting type, but it still does not affect its importance.
After learning what kind of rewards the scoring champion system would give, Wang Feng had already decided that he would win all the scoring champions in the future.
Even losing a scoring champion feels like missing out on hundreds of millions!
Therefore, this season is still a big challenge for Wang Feng. His scoring average must be higher than Harden.
If he can maintain the ultra-high number of shots per game he averaged last season, it won't be difficult to surpass Harden.
But the problem is that this season, the team's strength has increased, and more players need the ball.
Butler and Ingram must average about 15 shots per game, and Kuzma, Rose, Rondo, Lopez and even McGee also need to take shots and score.
Calculated this way, Wang Feng's number of shots this season can only be maintained at around 20 per game at most.
Harden averaged 24.5 shots per game and scored 36.1 points, which also included 9.7 of 11 free throws.
Wang Feng does not have Harden's superb skills, and his average number of free throws per game last season was only about 6, which was nearly half less than Harden's free throws.
In this case, it is indeed a big challenge to outscore Harden!
…
On November 7, the Lakers faced the Timberwolves at home. This was the first time Jimmy Butler faced his old club after being traded.
Butler, who was showing anger, took a lot of shots in this game, making 12 of 26 shots and scoring 34 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Dramas like revenge against an old club are not uncommon in the NBA, especially Butler's thoughts, which many people are aware of.
The reason why Butler doesn't want to stay in the Timberwolves is that Towns and Wiggins' lazy game attitude is just an inducement. The real core reason is that the Timberwolves don't want to extend Butler's maximum salary. This summer, they only offered a four-year extension of $1.1 billion.
The contract was negotiated, but was decisively rejected by the latter.
Don’t you think I’m not worth the price? Then I’ll let you see if I’m worth it!
Butler, who took action with anger, completely defeated the Timberwolves' defense. At the same time, he guarded Timberwolves forward Andrew Wiggins on the defensive end and only scored 13 points on 5 of 16 shots.
Even Wang Feng gave Butler a face in this game, allowing the opponent to stand out and not occupy much of the ball. He scored 24 points and 16 rebounds on 9 of 15 shots.
However, the Rockets on the other side had a bad start. After losing consecutive games and not even being ranked among the top eight in the Western Conference, Harden finally broke out.
Against the Indiana Pacers at home, Harden took crazy shots throughout the game, making 17 of 33 shots, 6 of 15 three-pointers, 17 of 18 free throws, scoring 57 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the Rockets to win the game.
A score of 57 points and a score of 24 instantly reversed the scoring averages of both sides. Wang Feng's scoring average dropped to 33 points, while Harden's score climbed directly to 34 points.
Although there have only been 11 games in the regular season at this time, and there are still many games to come, it already indicates the fierce competition for the scoring position this year.
After defeating the Timberwolves at home, the Lakers started a winning streak again.
The quality of the Lakers' opponents in November is not particularly high. Following the Timberwolves are the Kings, Hawks, Trail Blazers, Magic, Heat, Cavaliers, Nuggets and Jazz.
Among them, the only three teams that have strength are the Trail Blazers, Nuggets and Jazz.
Facing these weak teams ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the league, the Lakers did not hesitate to strike hard. First, they defeated the Kings, Hawks, and Magic, and once again won the five-game winning streak.
Immediately afterwards, in the game against the Trail Blazers, Wang Feng broke out strongly, scoring 51 points and 17 rebounds, leading the Lakers to a 126:117 victory over the Trail Blazers, and then defeated the Heat, Cavaliers, Magic, Jazz and other teams in a row for 10 consecutive games.
win.
Throughout November, the Lakers only lost 2 games, namely the loss to the Trail Blazers on November 3 and the away game to the Denver Nuggets on November 27.
Wang Feng averaged 35.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.1 steals per game in November, and won the Western Conference Player of the Month in November.
In the Eastern Conference, the winner of the Player of the Month award is Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo, who averaged 30.9 points, 13.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.
This season, Antetokounmpo has finally undergone a comprehensive transformation.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has successfully gained weight, is just like Wang Feng last season. He has a strong impact, especially his height of 2.11 meters and terrifying wingspan of 2.26 meters. He is like a Greek behemoth, and his impact is unmatched.
, the visual effect is extremely strong.
In another time and space, although Harden averaged 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, the final regular season MVP award was given to 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, showing excellent performance on both offense and defense.
The dominant Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The main reason for this is that the Bucks have a better record than the Rockets, and Antetokounmpo's contribution on both offense and defense is higher than Harden.
