Chapter 392 Wang Feng wants to break the score record?
(I'd like to mention it again. If some book friends haven't noticed and find that the plot is inconsistent with the previous one, you can go to Chapter 384 and read it again, and the plot has been modified.)
In another time and space, Jordan Poole in the 2020-21 season has been able to efficiently contribute 12 points in just 19.4 minutes on the bench, becoming an important scoring point on the Warriors' bench.
In the 21-22 season, Poole further evolved, averaging 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4 assists in 30 minutes per game.
These data are the main reasons why Wang Feng believes in Poole.
Although it is not entirely possible to rely solely on data on the court, if there is no basic data, how can one prove that a player is capable?
Now it seems that after experiencing the initial discomfort, Poole is gradually getting familiar with and adapting to the rhythm and intensity of the starting players. Moreover, Poole is not fighting alone. Wang Feng often gives Poole a certain amount of support on the field.
Help, especially the purple ten-cent badge, can improve Poole's shooting ability to a certain extent, allowing him to perform better on the court.
…
The Lakers have a total of 14 games in December. These 14 games are not easy to play because they include the Warriors, Clippers, 76ers, and other strong teams. Especially in the Christmas game on the 25th, the Lakers need to compete with the total players from last season.
The opponents in the finals are the Milwaukee Bucks.
Under a difficult schedule, the Lakers finally achieved a record of 8 wins and 6 losses in 14 games, and basically lost all the games against strong opponents, including the Bucks in the Christmas Day game when Wall was still injured and unable to play.
Wang Feng's scoring data dropped slightly in December, from 44.5 points to 41.2 points. This scoring data still leads all scorers in the league, while rebounds and assists did not fluctuate significantly.
Due to a serious decline in record in December, the Lakers were overtaken by the Warriors and fell from second place in the Western Conference to third place in the Western Conference. However, the record is still firmly in the top half of the division, and the fourth-ranked Nuggets and Lakers
The margin of victory is quite large and will not be surpassed in a short time.
As the last day of December passes, 2021 has arrived.
As usual, voting for the All-Star Weekend has begun in full swing.
Relying on his shocking performance with the strongest personal statistics, Wang Feng undoubtedly topped the list of All-Stars as the vote king in both rounds of voting, once again defeating James to be elected the Western Conference vote king.
However, the vote king in the Eastern Conference became Durant. This was the first time since Wang Feng was elected as the vote leader several times that he faced off against a different opponent for the Eastern Conference vote leader.
The remaining eight All-Star starters from the Eastern and Western Conferences are from the Western Conference: James, Curry, Doncic, and Jokic.
West: Irving, Beal, Antetokounmpo and Embiid.
Ingram, the forward of the Lakers, who performed very well this season, was not successfully selected. The reason is the same as last year: there are too many competitors.
Harden of the Rockets, Damian Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Leonard of the Clippers, Jazz forward Mitchell, Pelicans forward Davis and Zion Williamson.
With so many superstars gathered, Ingram is not ranked at all.
On the other hand, the competition pressure in the Eastern Conference is much smaller. At least Ingram, such as Jaylen Brown, Vucevic, Julius Randle and others, have a chance to compete.
In early January, after all the All-Star contestants were confirmed, the league organized a selection ceremony.
Let’s not mention the details of the selection. Anyway, it’s the same routine and script every year, and there’s nothing special to look forward to.
Durant chose the starting five of Irving, Antetokounmpo, Doncic and Jokic, while Wang Feng chose Curry, James, Beal and Embiid.
The All-Star Game will begin on February 18th, and the January schedule has just begun.
In January, the Lakers can finally take a breath. Compared with December, when there are so many strong opponents, the Lakers' games in January include many weak teams in the league, such as the Timberwolves, Spurs, Kings, Knicks, etc.
Team.
The current Lakers have a hard time facing strong teams, but they can still hit hard against weak teams, especially Ingram and Kuzma. When encountering a team with average overall defensive strength, Wang Feng
With the help of ten cents, you can often perform well.
During this period, there was a small episode, which happened on January 13. This was a home game of the Lakers against the Dallas Mavericks.
Wang Feng VS Doncic, this is a very interesting game.
Wang Feng's statistics this season are indeed terrifying, averaging 40+10+10 per game, which is unprecedented and hard to come by.
But Doncic's performance is not bad, averaging 29.4 points, 8 rebounds and 9.4 assists so far. In the third season of his career, and surrounded by strong opponents on the front line, Doncic's strength is growing more rapidly.
stand up.
Wang Feng has the advantage in the personal data competition, and the Lakers are also better in terms of team record. As the schedule becomes easier in January, the Lakers quickly stabilize their record and secure the third place in the Western Conference.
The Mavericks are in the second half of the division, entangled with the Nuggets, Pelicans, Clippers, Trail Blazers and other teams. Their records are very close to each other. The outcome of just one or two games can cause major changes in the rankings.
This game has Lakers fans looking forward to it. Everyone wants to see how Wang Fengfeng educates Doncic.
However, what makes Lakers fans a little disappointed is that the two did not match up at all in this game.
Doncic's defense itself is a well-known loophole in the league. He mainly focuses on the offensive end and does not invest much energy on the defensive end. Moreover, with his fat body and not quick footsteps, it is difficult to
Keep up with offensive players.
The Mavericks' defender on Wang Feng's side is small forward Dorian Finney-Smith, a blue-collar defensive player with strong physical fitness who is good at defense and rebounding.
This is not surprising, but what Lakers fans didn't expect was that the Lakers did not let Wang Feng defend Doncic on the defensive end. Instead, they asked Ingram to guard Doncic, and Wang Feng defended against him.
Finney Smith, who has basically no offensive ability.
The Lakers fans were a little disappointed not to see a strong matchup, but they soon changed their minds because they discovered why the Lakers arranged it this way.
Wang Feng showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning of the game, taking consecutive shots from outside the three-point line and hitting several goals.
In less than 5 minutes of play, Wang Feng hit 4 three-pointers, directly sending the Mavericks out of timeout.
After the timeout, Finney Smith obviously changed his defensive strategy and began to focus on guarding Wang Feng's three-point shooting. For this reason, he did not hesitate to position himself forward to give Wang Feng a chance to break through with the ball.
Seeing this, Wang Feng was not polite and directly switched from a three-point long shot to attacking the frame with the ball.
The Mavericks' inside center is Porzingis.
Boshen, who is 2.21 meters tall, is actually best at the power forward position. After all, his weight is only 108 kilograms, which is similar to Wang Feng. He is not good at physical confrontation inside.
However, in this era when small ball tactics are prevalent, many power forwards have begun to switch to center, and bring their advantages in mobility and mid-to-long-range shooting to the center position.
Davis, Towns, and Porpoise are all typical examples.
There is nothing to say about Boshen's strength on the offensive end. 20+ points all year round are not for nothing.
But when it comes to the ability to protect the frame, Boshen is really not that good. He is only slightly better than the Lakers center Lopez. Of course, it is impossible to stop Wang Feng.
Whenever Wang Feng rushes to the basket with the ball, he usually jumps up and scores a huge dunk, or is forced to the basket by multiple players from the Mavericks, resulting in a foul and free throw.
Wang Feng's ability to draw fouls has been enhanced to 89. His ability to draw fouls and free throws is probably second only to Harden and Embiid in the league.
In the first quarter alone, Wang Feng efficiently made 9 of 15 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 26 points.
No one on the Mavericks side could guard Wang Feng. In fact, they gave up guarding Wang Feng and instead targeted Wang Feng's teammates, hoping to win the game by limiting Wang Feng's teammates' scoring.
Seeing this situation, Wang Feng was not used to the Mavericks at all, and continued to output efficiently in the second quarter. Anyway, since the defensive end did not need to mark Doncic, Wang Feng was able to save a lot of energy.
Although he has a defensive perpetual motion badge on the defensive end, which can slow down the physical consumption during defense, the slowdown is not without consumption. A large amount of physical confrontation and defense will still cause Wang Feng's physical strength to continue to drain, but it is different now.
Wang Feng, who was full of energy, made 7 of 13 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws in the second quarter, scoring another 22 points!
At halftime, the score between the two teams was still slightly stalemate, with the Lakers only leading by 4 points at 63:59.
But Lakers fans started to get excited.
With 26 points in the first quarter and 22 points in the second quarter, Wang Feng's personal score at halftime had reached an astonishing 48 points, almost reaching the feat of 50 points at halftime.
But that's not the key, the key is the second half.
Wang Feng only needs to score 17 points in the third and fourth quarters to tie the single-game record of 82 points set by Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
Among active players, the record for the highest score in a single game comes from Devin Booker of the Suns. He completed the feat of 70 points in a single game in 2017. However, Booker’s 70 points are suspected of deliberately scoring points, especially
In the end, the Suns lost the game, and in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the score difference between the two teams was close to 20 points.
At that time, the Celtics had replaced substitute players, but the Suns still let Booker and other main players play on the court. The entire team was providing Booker with the ball and pick-and-roll screens.
In the last 5 minutes, Booker scored 18 points, adding up to 70 points from the original 50 points.
Because of this, Booker's 70 points in a single game is highly controversial, but no matter what others say about him being shameless for losing data in garbage time, it does not affect Booker's status as the only active player to score 70 points in a single game.
Wang Feng's scoring efficiency is so high, and he has never scored 70+ points in a single game. The main reason is that when he feels so good that he scores 50+ points in three quarters, the game has usually been spent.
No matter whether the team is leading or lagging, Wang Feng clocks out and sits off the court to rest.
Among the achievement tasks of the system, there are no tasks that will award rewards for scoring 82 points or 100 points in a single game. Wang Feng will not deliberately set the highest single-game record. This kind of behavior is somewhat low.
Superstars such as James, Durant, and Curry may score an extra point or two in an occasional game in order to collect beautiful data, but they will never deliberately score points in order to break the so-called single-game scoring record.
Because such a record is definitely not the basis for measuring their historical status.
Not to mention these top superstars, even Clay Thompson of the Warriors once had a shocking 60-point scoring performance in three quarters. Then he didn't play a minute in the fourth quarter and didn't care to take this opportunity to increase his personal scoring record.
Amplitude increase.
Wang Feng neither knows nor bothers to score points, but at the end of the first half, he has already scored 48 points, and the score between the two teams is stalemate. In the second half, the Lakers still need to continue to rely on Wang Feng's offensive firepower, and the situation is completely different.
He was also a little surprised. He was in particularly good condition today. Normally, Wang Feng's physical performance was more about stability. He rarely felt cold and could only score less than 20 points or even 10 points in the whole game.
Even though he is in single digits, it is rare to be in such a state like Thompson who feels so good no matter how he shoots.
No, to be precise, there are still some, that is, after the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the purple Hall of Fame level key shooter badge is activated.
…
In the second half of the game, the Mavericks began to panic. They knew they could not continue to let Wang Feng score like this. Otherwise, with his explosive scoring power, it would not be impossible to score 50+ points in the second half and directly score 100 points in a single game.
The biggest difference between outside players and inside players is the explosiveness of scoring.
Although the two-point shot under the basket is stable enough because it is close to the basket, three-pointers are always greater than two points. Anyone who has studied kindergarten mathematics will understand this truth.
Wang Feng is the kind of person who can shoot a three-pointer as a two-pointer. If he is not careful, he may be stunned and make a three-pointer.
Wang Feng, whose three-point ability value has reached 98 and has multiple shooting badges, puts even Curry to shame in his accomplishments in three-pointers.
In the third quarter of the game, Wang Feng's offensive pressure increased sharply. The Mavericks no longer cared about Wang Feng's teammates. They first tried to find ways to kill Wang Feng and then tried to prevent Wang Feng from scoring any more points.
Wang Feng was also happy about this. He did not force himself to score high scores, but calmly attracted double-teams and passed the ball to assist his teammates to score.
In the entire third quarter, he only took 3 shots and hit 1 three-pointer. In addition, he made 3 of 4 free throws and scored 6 points. His personal score in a single game reached 54 points.
Seeing this score, everyone on the Mavericks side felt their hearts in their stomachs.
Even though in order to achieve this goal, the Lone Ranger is now more than ten points behind, it at least prevented Wang Feng from scoring an extremely high score, which can be regarded as saving the Lone Ranger's face.
Letting a player score high points in front of his own team is definitely not something worth showing off.
