Four hundred and thirtieth chapters you go, you go
With Owen's status and influence in the world, he is not even qualified to comment alongside Wang Feng. This is what makes Owen feel most uncomfortable.
Irving's unique brain circuit makes him very unhappy with Wang Feng. At the same time, he will not praise Wang Feng's ability on the surface like Durant, Big Eyebrow, Antetokounmpo and others. Instead, he will praise Wang Feng's ability during interviews.
, he does not shy away from speaking his mind to the media.
It's just that such remarks feel somewhat overestimating.
Wang Feng can't do it. The team's good record is just because of the schedule. What about you? Before James decided to lead the Cavaliers to win the No. 1 pick every year? Wang Feng had three championships in four years with the Lakers, and the Cavaliers, including Irving,
That’s three No. 1 picks in four years.
And now with the Nets, Irving's strength is not significantly different from that of the Cavaliers during James 2.0. In other words, there is no improvement.
Instead of disparaging Wang Feng, Irving's remarks only attracted more criticism.
"Kyrie Irving should take care of his own business. He has never won a championship since leaving James. What qualifications does he have to comment on Wang Feng?" Well-known basketball commentator, the famous James A-
Smith doesn't mince words.
"Irving and Wang Feng are not players of the same level at all. The former can't even see Wang Feng's taillights. If I were him, I would hone my skills and put more energy into the game instead of using
This is an attempt to suppress Wang Feng."
A-Smith is one of the famous NBA players Wang Feng who has emerged in recent years. He has clearly shown his admiration and love for Wang Feng in public on many occasions, and has compared Wang Feng with several top players in active service on more than one occasion, such as James and Durant.
After comparing players such as Rand, Antetokounmpo, and Leonard, we came to the conclusion that Wang Feng completely outperformed all active players.
A-Smith's support boosted the morale of Wang Feng's fans and completely surpassed the number one point guard of a certain brand in terms of popularity, but this was just an interlude.
The reason why Irving talks about Wang Feng is because the two teams will finally meet in the regular season in the near future.
On December 2, at home in Cleveland, the Cavaliers will face the challenge of the Brooklyn Nets.
Both teams take this game very seriously.
The Nets, in particular, failed in the finals last season. All members of the Big Three participated in the Tokyo Olympics in an attempt to defeat Wang Feng but were beaten in the face. The match against the Cavaliers was another opportunity for them to challenge Wang Feng.
Durant and George, two stars who are directly opposite Wang Feng at the forward position, are very eager to win a victory against Wang Feng. As for the feud between Irving and Wang Feng, they can only be ranked third, but they have become the most attractive because of their remarks before the game.
Hated and the most talked about one.
For basketball, none of this means anything. Performance and performance on the court determine everything.
If Irving performs better than Wang Feng, then everything he says is right, otherwise he is just a clown.
It would be extremely difficult for Irving to be better than Wang Feng in terms of personal performance.
From the beginning of the regular season until now, Wang Feng's average per game has been stable at 35+13+13, ranking first in the league in points and assists, and even ranking third in the league in rebounds, second only to Jazz center Rudy.
.Gobert averaged 15.8 rebounds per game and Nuggets center Nikola Jokic averaged 14.1 rebounds.
On the other hand, Irving's average of 26.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in the new season is very good, but that's it. The level difference between the two sides is really too big.
Therefore, if Irving wants to gain an upper hand in public opinion, he can only rely on the team bonus of the Nets' victory over the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers also attach great importance to the game with the Nets.
This is the first time since the new season that the team has truly played against the top teams configured by the Big Three.
Although they previously defeated the Milwaukee Bucks led by Antetokounmpo, Wall's injury left the Bucks with only two giants Antetokounmpo and Middleton playing, which is not a complete team, so it is not referenceable.
The Cavaliers' excellent record in the new season has surprised the team management and coaching staff, but they also cannot help but have new expectations for the team.
Joining a team that can win against the Eastern Conference's top powers such as the Nets, 76ers, Celtics, etc. Doesn't that mean there is hope for a further step in the playoffs?
Regardless of whether it works or not, you should at least give it a try, right?
Before this game, the team's head coach Bickerstaff tentatively asked Wang Feng his thoughts on this game.
Then he was surprised to find that Wang Feng's views coincided with his.
The two teams in the Eastern Conference will meet four times in the regular season. These four matchups are likely to directly determine the superior-subordinate relationship and psychological state of the two teams after they meet in the playoffs.
Wang Feng knows that although the current Cavaliers team has gradually improved, its overall strength is far behind the Lakers. Therefore, if you want to successfully break out of the Eastern Conference, you must carefully consider every detail.
Wang Feng is bound to win the game against the Nets!
…
On November 2, the competition went on as scheduled.
The Cavaliers' home court, which has been renamed from Quicken Loans Arena to Rocket Mortgage Arena, was packed with seats. Cleveland fans filled the entire arena with enthusiasm, and the cheers for the home team came like waves after waves.
Among them, there are many "kind" greetings to Irving.
As the second NBA No. 1 pick selected by the Cavaliers after James, Cavaliers fans once had high hopes for Irving, hoping that he could become the Cavaliers' second LeBron James. Even if James decided to return to the Cavaliers, Irving would still
Considered the future of the team.
But when the Cavaliers won the championship in 2017, Irving took the initiative to apply for a trade to leave the team, ignoring many Cavaliers fans who spoke out to stay.
Wang Feng and Irving left the team one after another, and with Irving's decline due to injuries, the entire Cavaliers fell from the altar overnight, leaving only James struggling to support him.
Then one season passed, and even James finally decided to leave the team.
Although Irving was not the key factor in the Cavaliers' series of changes, he was definitely the one who started it.
Many Cavaliers fans have always been sure that if he hadn't been jealous of Wang Feng's performance and wanted to seize power from Wang Feng, which eventually caused conflicts, Wang Feng would not have refused to renew his contract so decisively.
Irving chased Wang Feng away, turned around and ran away to Boston.
From that time on, whenever Irving returned to Cleveland for away games, he would receive special attention from Cavaliers fans.
Coincidentally, after Irving transferred to the Brooklyn Nets, the Boston Celtics happily joined the Cavaliers' group chat. The North Shore Garden Arena, known as the home of the Devils, is the best in the league in terms of trolling players. In comparison,
Next, the atmosphere at the Cavaliers' home court is already quite friendly.
Being hated by two teams in a row, it can be seen that Irving has indeed disgusted them.
"Kerry! Did you see that? Now we have Wang Feng! We don't need you!"
"How many championships do you have now? Sorry, I forgot, it was still 1. I got it here. It seems that you are not very good! Are you qualified to comment on Wang Feng? If you were to lead this season
As a Cavaliers team, I’m afraid next year’s No. 1 pick is already secured, right?
The shouts from the fans on the sidelines made Irving, who was warming up on the field, have a dark face the whole time, full of displeasure.
Durant, George and others on the side were quite helpless when they saw this scene, but at the same time they were also a little lucky.
Fortunately, Irving attracted all the firepower.
To be fair, Wang Feng is now their tormentor. Not only Irving, but also Durant and George, anyone involved with Wang Feng's name is a tragic history of torture and blood and tears.
Now they just want to keep a low profile as much as possible, and then hit hard in the game to defeat Wang Feng and the Cavaliers.
…
After the "lively" warm-up, the game officially started. The substitute players from both sides retired, leaving only the starting players on the court.
The Cavaliers continue to use the first starting lineup, with Poole, Bain, Porter, Wang Feng plus Love starting, a standard small ball lineup to maximize offensive lethality.
As for the Nets, starting point guard Irving, shooting guard Paul George, small forward Durant, power forward Blake Griffin, and center Nicholas Claxton.
The Nets' starting lineup is in visible decline compared to last season.
The contracts of main starting guard Dinwiddie and center Jarrett Allen will expire in the summer of 2021, and the Nets, which has the Big Three, has no salary space to match their contracts.
This resulted in Jarrett Allen being poached by the Cavaliers for $100 million over five years, and Dinwiddie signing a three-year, $62 million contract with the Washington Wizards. Both of their average annual salaries reached the standard of $20 million.
The Nets, who lost two generals, tried their best to strengthen the team. They successfully renewed the contracts of two former All-Star insiders, Blake Griffin and DeMarcus Aldridge, at the veteran's minimum salary.
But both All-Star power forwards are at the end of their careers and have limited combat effectiveness.
The Nets' current starting center Nicholas Claxton is also a player selected by the Nets themselves. He has been Jarrett Allen's substitute before. After the latter left the team, he was promoted by the Nets to become the starting center. He has obvious ability to protect the frame.
Not as good as Jarrett Allen, but still better than nothing.
As for Dinwiddie's vacancy, the Nets did not have a good replacement role, so they were forced to change the rotation in order to ensure the integrity of the starting lineup, moving George to the shooting guard position and Durant to the small forward position.
Griffin will serve as the starting power forward.
The adjustment of the lineup has allowed the Nets to barely maintain their competitiveness. The current record is second only to the Cavaliers and ranks second in the Eastern Conference. However, the hidden dangers of such a lineup can be seen at a glance.
The inside strength of Griffin and Claxton's partnership is really poor.
Wang Feng was keenly aware of this, so as soon as the game started, he frequently broke through with the ball and attacked the Nets' basket.
For the Nets, Paul George is still the main defender on Wang Feng.
Although George can't avoid being beaten by Wang Feng no matter how hard he tries, he is still one of the few strikers in the league who can defend Wang Feng.
It is true that George cannot guard Wang Feng, but if other players guard Wang Feng, the result will only be worse.
Using the First Step Master Badge to easily break through George, Wang Feng rushed into the paint without hesitation, and then took off Claxton, who stepped forward to cover the defense, and scored a dunk with a strong jump.
Nicholas Claxton is 2.11 meters tall but weighs only 98 kilograms, which is even lighter than Wang Feng.
Faced with this thin bamboo pole-shaped insider, Wang Feng didn't even bother to compare, he just did it.
After just a few rounds, Claxton, who was made miserable by Wang Feng's indiscriminate bombardment, had already received two fouls and had to leave the game to avoid the edge.
But with Claxton off the court, the Nets have no one inside.
The Nets were stunned by Wang Feng's three-point attack and fell behind in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation, Durant could only step forward urgently and rely on his personal singles ability to score points to help the team stabilize the situation.
At this time, the Cavaliers' weaknesses also became apparent.
Otto Porter Jr. is a very good player, good both offensively and defensively, but he is definitely not a top defensive player, let alone one who can guard Durant.
The Cavaliers lineup does not have a top perimeter defender like Jimmy Butler during the Lakers era to form a joint defense partnership with Wang Feng. Therefore, the Cavaliers and Nets can only form a mutual explosive situation on the court.
Seeing this situation, Owen also started to take action.
Defending Irving is Jordan Poole, who serves as point guard.
Poole's offensive end is quite good, but his defensive end is relatively average. He is only an average defender in the league, so naturally he cannot guard Irving, who has top ball-handling ability.
Easily relying on the change of rhythm to shake Kepler's center of gravity, Irving went straight to the basket, hugged the defender Love's body and scored a layup, and then celebrated in a high-profile manner amidst the boos of the audience.
Wang Feng noticed Owen Deser's reaction and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The game had just begun, and Wang Feng was not prepared to devote too much energy to defense, which is why he did not mark Durant.
It's my problem if I don't guard. It's your problem if you still show off after scoring a goal.
Wang Feng also saw Irving's comments about himself and the Cavaliers' record not long ago.
He had already learned about Ou Shenxian's various tricks in another time and space, but this time it was linked to him, so he couldn't turn a blind eye.
Wang Feng has never been a generous and open-minded person, and he is even a bit petty.
"Didn't you say that I'm not as powerful as the outside world has touted me to be? Winning the championship depends on my teammates being strong enough, and the Cavaliers' good record is because their opponents are too weak? Well, give it a try yourself..."
The Nets attacked and the ball came to Irving. He once again used his signature dribbling skills to pass Poole and rush to the basket. He used a rather fancy pull-up layup with gorgeous movements and beautiful postures.
picturesque.
However, at the moment when the basketball was released, a black shadow suddenly appeared from behind Irving, and with lightning speed, he directly slammed the basketball onto the backboard!
