Long-range three-point shot, mid-range pull-up jump shot, and violent dunk under the basket with the ball.
Wang Feng used frequent methods on the offensive end and used various methods to efficiently score points.
On the other hand, the Pelicans can only rely on Zion Williams' offensive scoring at the basket as much as possible.
Although Paul has the nickname "King of Mid-range Shooting" and his mid-range shooting is quite stable, but that is only relatively speaking. In fact, his ability to attack critical moments has always been Paul's weakness. The height limit has destined Paul to score more points. Despite his shortcomings, what really supports his dominance on the court is his ability to link up the game and assist his teammates.
The score between the two teams began to open up quickly as Davis, the thick-eyebrow brother, took a break.
The Lakers launched a 12:4 offensive wave, almost pushing the score to over double digits. This passive situation lasted until the second quarter when Big Eyebrows reappeared and things got a little better.
However, the appearance of Brother Nongmei only made the situation slightly better.
Davis can add a stable and efficient scoring point for the Pelicans on the court, but it does not affect the Lakers' offense. On the contrary, the thick-browed brother who has already committed three fouls cannot help but be afraid when defending at the basket. He was too scared to step forward to help his teammates in defense.
The strongest thing about Davis, the thick-browed brother, is that he is good at both offense and defense. He is rich in offensive methods and can be used both inside and outside. On the defensive end, he has flexible feet and excellent frame protection. The honor of being the three-time block champion is not for nothing.
Now most of the defensive end has been eliminated due to fouls, which has had a serious impact on the Pelicans' overall defense.
The Lakers don't tell the Pelicans about this moral code. Not only Wang Feng, but other players will also consciously take the initiative to attack the basket, especially Davis, who has thick eyebrows. It doesn't matter if he can't score, as long as he can get another foul on him, he will make money .
…
At the end of the half, the score between the two teams was 71:60. The Lakers led by 11 points. Wang Feng scored 24 points at halftime, Ingram scored 12 points, and Jordan Poole scored 8 points.
On the other side, Zion Williams scored 18 points at halftime, the highest score for the Pelicans. Davis, the thick-eyebrow guy, had 16 points and 5 rebounds, and Paul had 13 points and 4 assists.
The shooting percentages and efficiency values of the players on both sides are both online, but it can be seen from the direction of the game that the Pelicans can no longer support the Lakers' bombardment with full firepower.
As the game entered the third quarter, the Pelicans' situation further deteriorated.
Davis, the thick-browed brother, accidentally received his fourth foul of the game on Wang Feng at the beginning of the game. He was only two fouls away from being sent off for six fouls.
Wang Feng, whose ability to draw fouls is as high as 89, is indeed quite good at deceiving fouls. Especially when he intentionally creates fouls for his opponents in the penalty area, his success rate is very high.
The Pelicans wanted to take Brother Big Eyebrow off the court to protect him after committing four fouls, but this was the beginning of the third quarter. The Pelicans, who were lagging behind, needed Brother Big Eyebrow's offense and defense to stabilize the situation.
Once Brother Nongmei comes off the field at this time, the score is likely to be further widened. I am afraid that by the time Brother Nongmei comes on the court again in the fourth quarter, the score will be so big that there is no way to recover.
Therefore, after struggling for a while, the head coach of the Pelicans decided to take the risk of leaving the thick eyebrow brother on the court.
It is difficult to say whether this judgment is correct or not.
The thick eyebrow brother did greatly improve the efficiency of the Pelicans on both ends of the court. In the entire third quarter, the Pelicans scored 33 points, while the Lakers scored 29 points. The original 11-point difference was narrowed.
to 7 minutes.
But this is like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Five minutes after the start of the fourth quarter, Davis, the thick-browed brother, received his sixth foul while defending the basket. He was sent off after the number of fouls in a single game.
When he came off the court, the thick eyebrow brother's statistics were 34 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 6 fouls.
Anthony Davis's end completely declared the Pelicans' defeat.
In the end, the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and the Lakers won 128:120 at home, winning the crucial battle at Tianwangshan.
The Big Three of the Pelicans performed very well in this game. Except for Davis, the thick-eyebrow brother who was sent off for six fouls, Zion Williams made 14 of 20 shots, a shooting percentage of 70%, and 8 of 12 free throws.
, scored 36 points and 6 rebounds.
Even Paul had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, scoring in double figures.
The Big Three scored 90 points together! However, they still lost the battle at Tianwang Mountain. There was nothing they could do about it. For the Lakers, Wang Feng's performance was even more explosive.
This was a crucial battle at Tianwang Mountain, and Wang Feng did not dare to neglect. He went all out and scored 57 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists, shooting 62% from the field and 48% from the three-point range.
Except for Wang Feng, all the Lakers players performed well. Ingram scored 23 points and Kuzma scored 14 points.
What is surprising is Jordan Poole's performance in this game.
Poole has brought many surprises to Lakers fans this season.
In Butler's absence, Poole became the team's starting shooting guard. After experiencing some poor performance at the beginning, he began to gradually adapt to the game and played better and better, gradually gaining recognition from most fans.
In this game, Poole felt hot and directly became the Lakers' second scoring point. He made 5 of 8 three-pointers, which was more accurate than Wang Feng in this game. He made 9 of 14 shots and 4 of 4 free throws.
27 points.
Of course, Poole's outstanding performance on the offensive end is directly related to Wang Feng attracting most of the Pelicans' defensive focus.
Almost all of his shots from the outside were open. Wang Feng broke through with the ball to attract double teams and then released to the outside to catch the ball and shoot.
Completely open and the purple ten-cent shooting attribute bonus made Poole feel like a god.
Of course, these things are unknown to outsiders, and most people will only sigh that the Lakers are really talented.
It’s okay that the young potential players include Ingram and Kuzma, but now there is Poole. When Butler returns from injury, Poole can completely shoulder the offensive responsibility as the best sixth man on the bench. This also allows
Don't let other teams mix?
There is no use sighing.
The current lineup of the Lakers is the result of Wang Feng's careful selection. This is an additional benefit brought by the foresight advantage of a time traveler.
And this kind of time-traveler bonus can only be taken once, because Wang Feng time-traveled in 2022, and it is only a little over a year before it is time for him to time-travel, and things have changed with his arrival in this world.
More and more, the corresponding butterfly effect has also brought many chain reaction changes to this time and space.
However, with Wang Feng's current overall rating of 99 and the blessing of multiple high-level badges, even if he does not have the advantage of foresight as a time traveler, it is completely unimportant.
The Lakers won the battle at Tianwang Mountain with a big score of 3:2. With two match points in hand, the Lakers already had a winning rate of at least 80%.
And then back to the home court of the New Orleans Pelicans, the Big Three of the Pelicans, who fought desperately, still failed to restore the decline.
On April 25, G6 of the first round series of the playoffs was played at the home court of the Pelicans, and the two teams ended the game 114:107, with the Lakers in front and the Pelicans in the back.
The Lakers, who won the G6 game away from home, defeated the Pelicans with a big score of 4:2 and entered the second round of the playoffs. The eliminated Pelicans could only accept the result of being eliminated from the playoffs early.
In the last game, Wang Feng's performance was a little more ordinary compared to the previous games. He scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. He did not score 40+, nor did he reach double figures in assists.
But within the Lakers, Ingram had a rare outburst, scoring 35 points on 14 of 26 shots. In addition, center Brook Lopez also had a hot touch in this game, making 9 of 11 shots and scoring 81 points.
20 points with % shooting.
With his teammates so strong, Wang Feng directly focused more energy on defense, keeping an eye on Zion Williams throughout the game. Zion was exhausted in the first half and his scoring efficiency was greatly reduced.
Faced with Wang Feng's relentless defensive style that spares no effort in physical exertion, Zion still doesn't have a good way to deal with it.
With the blessing of three purple fatigue badges and a physical strength of 99, Wang Feng's physical strength is simply too exaggerated, and Zion cannot withstand it at all.
