NBA teams, of course, do not lack several professional trainers. Many players will be accompanied by trainers in their daily training.
But trainers are just trainers after all. They know professional training knowledge, but their talents and abilities are limited. Sometimes the effect is not as good as that of professional players. For example, when practicing inside offense, the defensive pressure of professional players can be better simulated.
Real NBA game situations.
Another important job for bench players like Wang Feng and others in the team is to assist in the training of other players.
But Barnes deliberately approached Wang Feng, and the purpose was certainly not as simple as asking Wang Feng to be his sparring partner!
"Do you want to beat me in training and prove to the coach that he is stronger than me..."
Wang Feng curled his lips slightly, picked up the basketball on the ground and walked in the direction of Barnes.
He couldn't ask for it!
"I'm afraid this guy hasn't clearly realized the difference between me now! It's just right for you to understand what reality is like... and what you want the head coach to see is exactly the same as me!"
Seeing Wang Feng walking over obediently without saying a word, Barnes couldn't help but be stunned.
Wang Feng's guess was correct. Barnes indeed wanted to use training to suppress Wang Feng.
In the previous three games, Wang Feng averaged close to 20 points per game! He performed much better than Barnes, which made him feel a serious threat!
But even now, Barnes still refuses to believe that Wang Fengfeng, who has never been able to play before, suddenly became so strong! Whether facing Anthony, Irving or James, they can actually not fall behind! How is this possible?
"Okay! Ready to start!"
After the trainer saw Wang Feng and Barnes in position, he stood outside the three-point line and passed the ball to Barnes, who had Wang Feng's back.
What Barnes will be practicing today is the technique of attacking from behind inside.
Although he mainly plays the small forward position on the court, he often needs to play the power forward position in the death five small lineup.
After receiving the pass, Barnes shook his shoulders left and right and made a fake move, then turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper. The action seemed relatively smooth.
This season, Barnes averages close to 10 shots per game, with mid-range shots accounting for about 60%, and his field goal percentage is 48.2%, which is considered a relatively stable scoring point.
Many times when the splash brothers Curry and Thompson were tightly guarded by their opponents, Cole would arrange mid-range shooting experts such as Barnes and Livingston to break the deadlock. However, two years later, the Warriors let go of Barnes.
Si, welcome Kevin Durant.
Durant's near-invincible mid-range skills completely made up for the Warriors' shortcomings, directly creating the great cause of two consecutive championships! If the team was not affected by injuries in the third year, Mengyu picked up a
If it is cheap, there is no suspense about winning 4 crowns in 5 years!
It's a bit far-fetched. All in all, although Barnes' mid-range shooting is not an ability that the Warriors urgently need, it still needs to be there and can definitely be used at certain moments.
However, the moment Barnes took the shot, a yellow palm suddenly shot out!
It's Wang Feng!
Barnes' purpose was too obvious, and this was a post-up training in itself. Wang Feng, who had been well prepared, defended very promptly, blocking all of Barnes's sight with his palms!
Purple Hall of Fame level defensive shock activated!
"Peng...Peng Peng..."
The trainer was stunned.
Barnes actually made a three-and-done on this ball.
He is now about one step inside the free throw line and only about 13 feet away from the basket. At this distance, even if the opponent's defense is real-time, it is impossible for him to make a three-point shot?
"It's okay, do it again."
Maybe it doesn't feel good in the hand, so let's check the condition first.
The trainer shook his head, picked up a basketball and passed it to Barnes again.
At this moment, Barnes' face looked a little ugly, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Feng, and then he saw Wang Feng's expression.
His face was calm, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Who do you think you are? You want to fight me alone?
Wang Feng didn't speak, but that was clearly what he meant in his eyes!
A surge of anger arose.
"Who do you think you are? Damn rookie!"
With his head congested, Barnes continued to catch the ball with his back, but his movements were much larger. He even raised his elbow when he opened his hand to ask for the ball!
"Come with me on this?"
A cold glint flashed in Wang Feng's eyes. Faced with Barnes's waving elbow, he did not retreat but moved forward, directly getting closer to Barnes.
Death coil!
Wang Feng’s Death Coil Badge is not the top Purple Hall of Fame, but even at the Golden All-Star level, it is not something that a player of Barnes’ level can bear!
After all, although Barnes is the starting small forward of the Warriors, his ability value at this stage of the 2014-15 season is only around 80, not even above 80!
As the top badge among defensive badges, Death Coil has an excellent effect! Once entangled, it is difficult for players to get rid of the candy-like defense! The only weakness of this badge is that as an outside defensive skill, it cannot be triggered and activated on the inside!
However, the positions of Wang Feng and Barnes are slightly out of place at this time. The position about one step inside the free throw line does not seem to be recognized by the system as an inside line, so the Death Coil badge is activated instantly!
Barnes, who had just received the pass, felt the pressure doubled instantly. He couldn't even maintain his balance after receiving the ball, let alone look for opportunities to score!
"Damn it! How could that happen?"
That's it now!
A cold light flashed in Wang Feng's eyes, his arm reached out like lightning, and he accurately pointed at the basketball held by Barnes! The basketball was directly poked and flew out!
"this……"
At this time, the trainer was also a little stunned.
Missing shots is a matter of missing shots. Barnes can't even connect the ball. What the hell is this?
"you……"
Barnes stared at Wang Feng in shock and anger. This dead rookie's defense is really so good! How is this possible?
"What's wrong? Don't you want me to train with you?"
Wang Feng looked at Barnes calmly, lowered his voice and sneered: "Come on, you can't even defend at this level, how are you going to make a living in the NBA?"
Wang Feng didn't have a good impression of Barnes from the beginning. He could clearly feel the opponent's hostility towards him, perhaps because he threatened the opponent's main position, or maybe the opponent simply hated Wang Feng.
"It's such a bad workplace relationship... but it's just right! Let's see who is more worthy of being the starting point guard of the Warriors!"
"Harrison, what are you doing? Focus!"
The assistant coach's voice attracted the attention of other training players on the court.
Some people began to set their sights on Barnes and Wang Feng, including Curry, Thompson and other team main players, as well as head coach Steve Kerr.
