Although it was already the fifth game of the finals, this was the first time that Wang Feng and Leonard faced each other in a serious and direct confrontation. Neither side relied on teammates for pick-and-roll screens, nor did they use tactics such as running without the ball and cutting inside to the basket.
It's just that you attack and I defend, and vice versa.
Leonard's ideas are also very pure.
Under the current situation, it is almost impossible for the Menglong team to win and comeback.
In this case, at least in the personal competition, I want to regain some ground!
Wang Feng's strength is so strong that no one in the league will question it anymore, but everyone is a top star, who can easily conquer whom?
Leonard's strength is indeed worthy of this qualification.
In the first quarter, Leonard scored 16 points, but Wang Feng responded a little late. In the end, he scored 11 points in a single quarter, slightly behind.
But as the game entered the second quarter, Wang Feng began to increase the number of shots, and the head-on confrontation between the two began.
Both Wang Feng and Leonard are representative players with excellent offense and defense. Their offense is stable and efficient, and their defense is strong and difficult to deal with.
When the two completely enter the rhythm of 1v1 duel, the excitement is no less than the smooth team offensive cooperation.
The extreme offensive and defensive confrontation in every round made the fans and spectators excited.
Gradually, Wang Feng began to increase the number of ultra-long-distance three-point shots and continued to hit them, gradually suppressing Leonard in terms of scoring.
Although Leonard also has a good three-point shot, he is obviously not a little bit behind top three-point shooters like Wang Feng. Under this premise, whether it is mid-to-long-range shooting or attacking at the basket.
In terms of framing ability, Leonard is no better than Wang Feng.
Even on the defensive end, Wang Feng, who has the purple defensive shock badge, is slightly inferior to Leonard in terms of defensive attributes, but his defensive effect is better.
In the second quarter, Leonard scored 12 points on 4 of 9 shots, while Wang Feng scored 15 points on 5 of 7 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws.
At halftime, Wang Feng scored 26 points and Leonard scored 28 points. The wonderful one-on-one session had everyone fascinated.
"If nothing else, in terms of their one-on-one skills, no one in the league can match them." Barkley shook his head and sighed: "They remind me of Michael and Kobe at their peak, all of us."
We have all imagined what it would be like if these two top scorers in history faced off at their peak, but now that I think about it, it would just be like Wang Feng and Leonard playing against each other, right?"
"Wang Feng scored 26 points at halftime and Leonard scored 28 points at halftime. If this continues, after the whole game, both of them may score 50+ points! Even in the league for so many years, there have never been two teams.
Players scored 50+ points at the same time."
Let alone the finals, even in the playoffs, so far there have never been two opposing teams with players who scored 50+ points at the same time. In the future, in the 19-20 season, the Jazz's Mitchell and
Murray of the Nuggets made history by scoring 51 points and 50 points respectively in direct playoff matches.
Can Wang Feng and Leonard become the first pair of players in history to score double 50+ points in the Finals?
In the third quarter of the game, the two gave their answers.
In the third quarter, when the main players were supposed to rest, Wang Feng and Leonard both chose to play at full attendance.
The massive consumption of physical energy reduced the efficiency of both players. Leonard made 3 of 7 shots and barely scored 10 points with free throws.
Wang Feng's three-point touch declined, and he made 3 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 9 points.
The two entered the fourth quarter with 38 points and 35 points respectively.
The tight match situation made the Menglong fans excited.
Although Wang Feng and Leonard were temporarily locked in a difficult battle, the Menglong players were more efficient than the Lakers in this game, so the two teams currently have a point difference of nearly 5 points.
As long as the point difference can be maintained until the end of the game, we can win this game and chase the score to 2:3. We will return to the home court of the Menglong team in the next game. If we bite the bullet and win another victory, we can tie the score and win.
Hope for a comeback!
Leonard was obviously aware of this. He went on a crazy offensive in the fourth quarter, hitting the basket for layups and mid-range shots. He even scored 8 points on sudden shots, widening the point difference to close to two points in one fell swoop.
number.
Seeing this situation, Lakers head coach Walton couldn't sit still and wanted to call a timeout to adjust tactics.
However, when he looked at Wang Feng, he hesitated, thought over and over again, and finally did not do so.
From the first quarter, this game is no longer just a game between two teams, but a duel between Wang Feng and Leonard.
Walton certainly knows his players, and he knows that Wang Feng wants to defeat Leonard head-on and deservedly win the championship trophy!
"He is indeed a top superstar in his prime. This guy is really strong..."
Wang Feng sighed.
Leonard in the 18-19 season was really strong, stronger than James and Durant at the same time.
Obviously under the influence of the defensive shock badge, he was able to ignore Wang Feng's defense and hit those mid-range shots.
It is a pity that such a player who has the ability to become the strongest player in the league has been ruined by injuries in the following seasons and has been unable to perform.
Let me defeat you with my own hands!
Standing at the top of the three-point line with the ball, Wang Feng suddenly started, and the first step master badge was instantly activated.
The first three quarters of the game were almost full, and Leonard, whose physical fitness was almost at the bottom, had no time to react and keep up. Although Wang Feng's speed at this time was far less than when he was full of physical fitness, he still passed Leonard in one step, rushed into the basket and took off violently.
Points deducted.
After successfully scoring, Wang Feng successfully prevented Leonard's mid-range jumper on the defensive end, then stepped back from the three-point line and hit a long-range three-pointer, scoring 5 points in a row!
The 10-point difference was reduced to 5 points, and at the same time, the game entered the final 2 minutes.
Critical Shooter Badge activated!
When his physical energy is almost exhausted and his various ability values have dropped significantly, the increase in attribute values brought by the key shooter has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
In the next offensive round, Wang Feng stood at the free throw line with his back and made a fadeaway jumper. He made a solid shot and then hit a twenty-foot mid-range shot from the bottom corner!
Wang Feng, who felt completely warmed up, then hit another super long-range three-pointer, scoring 12 points in a row!
For the Menglong team, only Leonard made two mid-range shots and scored 4 points. Others failed to score in their last-minute shots.
The point difference was reversed, and the Lakers overtook the Menglong and took the lead.
At the last moment, Wang Feng hit another three-pointer, and the score between the two teams was fixed at 107:102.
The Lakers won with a 5-point advantage, defeating the Toronto Rams with a total score of 4:1 and winning the 18-19 NBA championship!
