Wang Feng monopolized all the championships in the All-Star solo events, and this news quickly made headlines on all major pages.
Anyone who sees the news can't help but shake their head and sigh, Wang Feng can really make his presence felt, he can be found everywhere.
Obviously, this time the All-Star solo events are meant to snipe Wang Feng. There is Trae Yang Doncic in the Skills Challenge, Curry Thompson in the Three-Point Contest, and Gordon in the Slam Dunk Contest, but Wang Feng is here.
Under such circumstances, he was able to win them all. He even pretended to give up a fancy ball in the three-point contest, and Wang Feng took the limelight. Are you angry?
Anyway, no matter what the fans think, at least many stars participating in the All-Star Weekend are a little unhappy.
It just makes you look awesome, right? Which one of you here is not a famous star in the league? Don’t we all have no face?
Indeed, with Wang Feng's behavior, it is easy to have no friends.
But Wang Feng said, who the hell wants to be friends with you? Rewards are the real last word.
And he noticed the change immediately.
On February 16, the real feast of the All-Star Weekend, as soon as the All-Star Game began, Wang Feng felt that three of the four starters in the Western Conference All-Stars were deliberately isolating themselves.
Whenever James, Davis and Doncic receive the ball, they will not take the initiative to pass the ball to Wang Feng. Even if Wang Feng is completely open, they will choose to ignore it.
Only Curry, as a good old guy with a gentle personality, still occasionally passes the ball to Wang Feng even though he lost miserably to Wang Feng in the three-point contest.
"Come with me on this?"
A few minutes after the game started, Wang Feng looked at James and others with a sneer.
Obviously, they don't want to be in the limelight anymore.
Not only these teammates in the Western Conference, but also the Eastern All-Stars obviously have the same attitude.
When facing others, the Eastern team's defense was very lax, and the symbolic defense was over.
But as long as Wang Feng attacks with the ball, the Eastern Conference will strictly defend. Not only Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo will defend on the outside, but when Wang Feng breaks through with the ball, he will not hesitate to help defend and double-team.
, it feels like I don’t want Wang Feng to get a single point.
Wang Feng has already stolen the limelight on the All-Star stage and even won the All-Star MVP several times in a row. This actually breaks the rules of the world and is enough to make many people unhappy.
In itself, this kind of entertainment event award has little impact on the status of the world. Most of the stars in the league have the attitude of everyone taking turns to be the boss. Hello, me, everyone is good. The audience is happy to see it, and everyone does not lose face to each other. This matter
It's over.
But if you, Wang Feng, want to break the rules, then don't blame us for collectively targeting you.
However, Wang Feng didn't think so.
The more the other party behaves like this, the more Wang Feng wants to see what they can do?
Although they are joining forces to isolate, the Western Conference All-Stars cannot do anything too blatant. After all, they also have to maintain their own image. If the media seizes the opportunity and says that they are jealous of Wang Feng's limelight and deliberately mess up the negative game, then they will also
It will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
More importantly, the head coach of the Western Conference All-Stars is Luke Walton, the head coach of the Lakers. In this way, at least Wang Feng's playing time is guaranteed.
Because of this, he still has a chance.
…
In the first quarter of the game, he didn't get much possession of the ball, and every time he took a shot, his opponent was tightly guarding him. Wang Feng's statistical performance was not very good.
Made 2 of 5 shots and only scored 5 points and 2 rebounds.
But in the second quarter, Walton still let Wang Feng appear.
Wharton, who has been in the league for many years and has rich experience in the arena, can clearly see what is going on on the court at a glance. How can he bear the isolation of his disciples?
Although he obviously shouldn't go too far, Walton still chose the right time to stagger Wang Feng's playing time with James, Davis and others, and let another disciple, Butler, who served as the Western Conference All-Star substitute, and Wang Feng still have a relationship
Curry, who is pretty good, appeared together.
In this way, at least two players on the court will not target Wang Feng.
Butler served from the baseline and handed the ball directly to Wang Feng.
Wang Feng dribbled the ball past half-court, and Giannis Antetokounmpo immediately came up to him.
Looking at Antetokounmpo who was staring at him intently, Wang Feng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Do you really want to prevent me from dying? But can you do it?"
Antetokounmpo ignored Wang Feng’s trash talk.
Wang Feng and Antetokounmpo can also be regarded as old rivals. In other words, Wang Feng has always been one of Antetokounmpo's victims. His career so far has been suppressed by Wang Feng in all aspects.
The two joined the league at the same time. Antetokounmpo entered the league in 2013, and Wang Feng was undrafted in 2014.
However, Wang Feng won the championship with the Warriors during his rookie year and won two consecutive championships.
Wang Feng then moved to the Cavaliers and helped James win his third championship.
At this time, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo was finally able to average 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game in the Bucks and became a star player.
In the 17-18 season, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who performed as a star, received a maximum salary extension contract of US$100 million over four years as he wished.
But in the same year, Wang Feng chose to join the Lakers and signed a four-year super maximum salary of 118 million. The total salary was nearly 20 million more than him!
In terms of team honors, he cannot compare with Wang Feng, and Antetokounmpo has always been inferior to Wang Feng in terms of personal honors and statistics.
Wang Feng, who joined the Lakers, has seen an explosive increase in his personal data, eclipsing Antetokounmpo's all-around performance of 27+10+5 per game.
What's even more terrible is that in the direct confrontation between the two on the court, it is difficult for Antetokounmpo to take advantage.
Obviously his physical fitness is more advantageous, but in terms of strength, he is always slightly inferior to Wang Feng. In addition, his long-range shooting ability is not strong enough, so he is always suppressed by Wang Feng on the court.
Among all this, what hit Antetokounmpo the most was the scene where he lost to Wang Feng in the regular season MVP selection last season.
The 18-19 season can be said to be the best season of Antetokounmpo's career. He was able to average 28 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6 assists with a super high shooting rate of 57.8%. At the same time, he also had 1.3 steals and 1.5 assists, both offensive and defensive.
Duandu completely dominated the game. Under his leadership, the Bucks achieved a record of 60 wins and 22 losses. This was the first time the Bucks achieved a 60-win record since the 1971-72 season!
However, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who originally had great hopes of being elected the regular season MVP, encountered an even more abnormal player, that is Wang Feng.
The data of 28+12.5+6 seems so vulnerable in front of 38.6+12.4+3.
In terms of team record, the Bucks' 60 wins are inferior to the Lakers' 64 wins.
You can imagine how big Antetokounmpo's psychological shadow is.
It’s okay if you can’t grab an important honor like regular season MVP. Even a small honor like All-Star MVP is still on your mind. If you eat meat, you can leave some soup for others!
Staring at Wang Feng, Antetokounmpo recalled all the past events, his expression became a little distorted, old and new hatreds surged into his heart, and he wanted to eat Wang Feng alive in front of him.
"Even if I try my best today, I will never let you get what you want!"
With this thought in his mind, Antetokounmpo saw Wang Feng move.
Changing the basketball in his right hand to the left, Wang Feng quickly broke through to the left.
Antetokounmpo immediately moved sideways to keep up with Wang Feng.
But at this moment, he suddenly bumped into a body.
Turning around in surprise, Antetokounmpo saw Butler blocking his right side.
"Pick and roll?"
When he looked at Wang Feng again, Wang Feng had already picked up the ball and found a gap outside the three-point line to take off.
With the blessing of the fast shooter badge, Wang Feng's shooting speed is unique in the league, and even Curry Thompson has to be inferior.
Whether it was Antetokounmpo who was blocked or the player responsible for guarding Butler, it was already too late to defend Wang Feng.
Since his opponent doesn't respect martial ethics, what moral ethics does Wang Feng have? Wang Feng can just play with Antetokounmpo in a one-on-one challenge, but every time I pass you, there will be inside players double-teaming me with you, so don't blame me for calling him a teammate.
Helped.
In the next few minutes, Wang Feng and Butler frequently used pick-and-roll cooperation, easily tearing apart the Eastern Conference All-Star defense, which was improvised and had little defensive coordination.
Wang Feng not only scored consecutively himself, but also frequently provided assists for Butler and Curry. His statistics were amazing.
Several starters sitting on the Western Conference All-Star side were a little unable to sit still when they saw this scene.
Wang Feng brushed this data, what will happen to them later?
"Coach, it's almost our turn to play, right?"
James came to Walton and started to apply pressure.
In the past, James has always shown kindness to Wang Feng, but that was an olive branch he extended because he wanted to continue to partner with Wang Feng. James is a very utilitarian person.
Now Wang Feng is basically certain that he will not partner with James. Naturally, he is not willing to let Wang Feng steal the limelight, especially after Wang Feng has defeated him in the All-Star voting for two consecutive years, taking away the Western Conference vote king and captain status.
James also wants to sit as the league's No. 1 player for a few more years.
But at the same time, James is also very cunning. He doesn't want to directly offend Wang Feng, at least he doesn't want to make the conflict between the two more acute, so he is very cunning and frequently brushes up data for Davis, the thick-browed brother, in the first quarter.
Wang Feng and Davis are old enemies. Going back to the All-Star Game a few years ago, Wang Feng once scored 50+ points to defeat Davis, who also scored 50+ points, and took away the All-Star MVP.
Now the two are on the same team, and Davis has scored 18 points in the first quarter of the game under James' initiative. As long as he keeps playing, and the Western Conference All-Stars win, there is a high possibility that he will win the championship.
Star MVP.
James knows very well that as long as the thick eyebrow brother comes on the court, he will definitely compete with Wang Feng for the ball.
Walton smiled and said: "I know, there are no good opportunities now, right? You can't just waste a timeout just for the sake of someone else? As soon as there is a chance of a dead ball, everyone will go up."
While Wharton said this, he secretly cursed the old fox in his heart.
As a person who has been in the league for many years and served as the head coach of the team after retiring, although Walton is not as good as James in terms of personal honor and level, but with all these twists and turns, being able to become the head coach is not something that can be done casually.
It can be easily carried over by the lake.
Walton did not reject James directly. After all, he would have to make a living in the league in the future. It would be best if he could not offend these stars. There was no telling which one of them would become his player in the future.
In front of ordinary players, the head coach has the supreme power and can directly decide their playing time. But for top superstars, the coach's influence is not that great. Even players of James's level can directly affect the ball.
The team owner's judgment serves the purpose of influencing the selection of the team's head coach.
Walton's excuse was reasonable and there was no problem on the surface. James couldn't say anything and could only continue to wait.
Wang Feng and others played on the court for another full minute and a half before they finally fouled the whistle during an attack and entered the dead ball stage.
Walton knows that he can't drag it out any longer. Top stars like James, Davis, Leonard, and Doncic must have at least 30 minutes of playing time on the All-Star Game stage.
"Wang Feng, you can only look at yourself from now on."
Curry and Butler were replaced at the right time, and the Western Conference All-Stars were four up and four down. Westbrook, Thompson, James, and Davis, the thick-browed brother, appeared on the stage.
Wang Feng was instantly isolated and helpless. Davis served from the baseline and passed it directly to Westbrook, choosing to completely ignore Wang Feng.
And Westbrook had no intention of passing the ball to Wang Feng. He didn't even have the idea of passing the ball to others. He ran all the way to the frontcourt with the ball and scored a one-stop layup.
Speaking of which, Westbrook is also a single-minded player in the All-Star Game. As long as he dares to give him the ball, except when assisting, it is extremely difficult to get him to distribute the ball again.
"You want to stop me just like this? You're so naive."
Seeing this scene, Wang Feng sneered.
The Bucks attacked, Middleton received a pass from Trae Young and shot from outside the three-point line.
The shot missed the frame. Standing under the basket, the man with thick eyebrows looked up at the rebound and tried to take off to collect the defensive rebound.
But at this moment, a figure shot out from the side, leaped high, and grabbed the rebound before him.
It's Wang Feng!
Davis: "..."
He had been blocking Gobert, the inside player from the East, and didn't pay attention to Wang Feng's position. He didn't expect that he would take advantage of him!
After several seasons of training, Wang Feng's defensive rebounding ability has now reached 92. With sufficient preparation, his ability to grab rebounds is not inferior to Davis's.
Moreover, Davis, the thick-browed brother, is not a player who is good at rebounding. Although he averaged double figures in rebounds for 6 consecutive seasons in his career, he only had 12 rebounds in his highest season and has never won the rebounding title.
Of course, if Brother Big Eyebrow wants to, it is not difficult to win the rebounding title, but when he puts more energy on the offensive and defensive ends, rebounding has been strategically given up by him.
