Most people were a little stunned when they saw this scene.
Barnes and Wang Feng were at war with each other. Both the offensive and defensive sides were very aggressive, and the intensity even exceeded the level of a regular game.
"Come again!"
Barnes' eyes were a little red.
He is really anxious!
In front of so many people, if he can't score at all in front of Wang Feng, what convincing power does he have? Why should Cole make him the team's starter?
Barnes, who received the pass again, did not use any back-up skills this time. He dribbled the ball directly and used his strength to force his way to the basket!
Barnes' strength is not top-notch among small forwards, but compared to Wang Feng, who is only about average, he is still stronger, so he quickly squeezed to the basket.
"Hey, Harrison, what are you doing?"
The assistant coach frowned and shouted.
Today's training program for Barnes is a mid-range attack, not a basket attack! Usually, Barnes will appear at the power forward position, and he faces interior players who are taller and stronger than him. How can he be beaten by him?
Push behind the basket?
But how can Barnes, who has been overwhelmed by anger, care about that? Scoring in front of Wang Feng is the most important thing to him!
After squeezing under the basket, Barnes suddenly slumped his shoulders to resist Wang Feng, then jumped with both feet at the same time for a two-handed dunk!
When Wang Feng came to the basket, except for defensive shock, all other defensive badges had no effect, and even death coil could not be activated.
While defensive shock is very effective when facing shots, it cannot affect dunks!
In other words, he does not have any badge bonus at this time and can only use his basic ability values to forcefully defend!
But even so, Wang Feng did not retreat at all! He must not retreat at this time!
Wang Feng, who was highly focused, immediately followed Barnes when he took off, pressing one hand directly on the basketball!
At this moment, the two were wrestling directly in the air! This was a complete battle of jumping and core strength!
In these aspects, it was Barnes who originally had the advantage! But when the two sides came into contact, Barnes was shocked to find that he could not dunk the basketball to the basket at all!
"Get down!!!"
Wang Feng shouted loudly, and the veins on his arms popped out!
Barnes was directly pushed down from the air with the ball! When he landed, his feet were unsteady and he fell to the ground.
Wang Feng stumbled to the ground and almost fell, but he managed to stand still and looked down at Barnes.
"That's it?"
"Oh my god..."
This scene shocked many people on the court.
Curry stared at this scene dumbfounded, not knowing what was happening?
"Fuck!"
Barnes was completely overwhelmed by anger. He got up from the ground with a curse and wanted to rush towards Wang Feng.
But the trainer and assistant coach who were not far away from them ran over first and stopped him.
"Harrison, calm down! What are you going to do?"
"The head coach is still over there! You have to think about the consequences of fighting within the team!"
This sentence was like a drop of cold water, instantly washing away Barnes' anger!
He couldn't help but look not far away, and saw Cole looking here, with no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Too bad...
Barnes' heart couldn't help but sink.
Originally, he wanted to use training as an excuse to defeat Wang Feng and prove that he was the better one!
Unexpectedly, he failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice. Not only did he fail to defeat Wang Feng, he even performed so poorly under his defense!
Seeing that Barnes had calmed down, Wang Feng shrugged and let it go.
While Barnes regards him as a stepping stone, he also has the idea of stepping on his opponent to get to the top.
But in this process, he must behave in a low-key manner. After all, what he is competing for now is a starting small forward who prefers a 3D blue-collar position, not the boss of the team.
If his character is too bad and he is disliked by the team's real core players such as Curry, Thompson and even Green, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Wang Feng is not yet confident enough to feel that with his current ability, he can shake the true core of these Warriors.
"You all go take a rest and calm down. We are all teammates. There is no need to get so stiff."
The assistant coach patted Barnes on the shoulder, then turned to Wang Feng and said.
Wang Feng glanced at Barnes, then went to another court to continue practicing his three-pointers.
…
"What's going on? What happened to the two of them?"
The turmoil caused by the minor conflict quickly subsided, but the Warriors players' desire for gossip did not go away.
"It seems that Harrison took the initiative to find Wang Feng and asked Wang Feng to assist him in training his back-up skills. As a result, Wang Feng defended him several times in a row. Then Harrison became anxious and pushed his back to the basket to force a dunk.
Then he was slapped away by Wang Feng."
"Holy shit! Isn't it? So exciting? Wang Feng's defense is really strong now. He didn't show any weakness when he faced Anthony, Irving and even James before. Now Harrison is hitting the iron plate!"
"How can this thing be so simple?"
Green listened to everyone's discussion and shook his head, looking like he had seen through everything.
"Why do you think Harrison asked Wang Feng to assist him in training? Obviously, in the previous games, he has felt the threat of Wang Feng. Wang Feng has a more accurate and efficient three-pointer than him, and there are stronger players than him.
Ability to defend on the outside and steal, help defend and double-team."
"In these three games, Wang Feng's playing time has been continuously increasing, and accordingly his playing time has been continuously compressed. If this continues, his starting position in the team will not be guaranteed."
Although Green and Barnes played together with the Warriors for two years, the relationship between Green and Barnes is far less than that of Curry and Thompson.
Both were rookies in 2012, but Barnes was the seventh pick in the first round, while Green was the fifth pick in the second round. Moreover, the two were of similar height and weight and initially had overlapping positions. Green was Barnes' substitute.
, the two were also in a competitive relationship at the time.
This season, the arrival of Cole brought changes. Green was promoted to the power forward position and became a point forward. Not only did he become the starter, but his playing time increased to 32 minutes.
The positions of the two no longer overlap, and there is no longer a relationship of competition and opposition.
It's a pity that Barnes was unlucky enough. Without the threat of Green, Wang Feng suddenly appeared and his performance on the court was even more dazzling.
He averaged close to 20+ points per game in three games! You must know that even Green only averaged 11.7 points per game this season!
Facing such a rising competitor, it would be strange if Barnes was completely indifferent!
