Chapter 434: Wang Feng is no longer interested in data?
Durant scored 44 points, but the performance of the other two giants in the team was mediocre.
George's hand was always tepid in the first three quarters of the game, but finally got a little better in the fourth quarter, and finally surrendered 6 of 17 shots, 19 points and 4 rebounds.
Irving was even worse. He made 5 of 15 shots in the game and only scored 14 points.
How can we win this game if two of the Big Three are showing off their hips?
On the Cavaliers side, Wang Feng scored 46 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists, a huge triple-double, crushing Durant in all aspects. At the same time, the Cavaliers' overall performance was better than the Nets.
The three starters Love, Poole, and Bane all scored in double figures, with the highest score being Bane's 17 points. He made 4 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line, which was surprisingly efficient.
Love and Poole both scored 14 points. With Wang Feng attracting firepower from the outside, they were able to get a lot of open shooting opportunities, and they were open shooting opportunities with ten-cent assists and a shooting percentage.

After this game, all major sports media were at a loss as to how to write articles.
The Cavaliers defeated the Nets, and it was the Nets where the Big Three were.
So what should I say now?
The Cavaliers' lineup is actually stronger than it looks. Can even the Nets defeat it?
Isn't this a slap in the face? A month ago, I swore that the Cavaliers could barely enter the playoffs with the seventh or eighth place in the Western Conference at best, but now they say that the Cavaliers have a very strong lineup. What is so strong about this lineup?
Except for Wang Feng, only Poole served as the starter for the Lakers last season. All other players on the team are substitute rotation role players. Can such a lineup be considered strong?
Love was injured and stopped last season, and his career was once considered to be over. However, Wang Feng's arrival gave him a second spring in his career, and his advantage in three-point shooting range was maximized.
Desmond Bane also played mainly as a substitute for the Grizzlies last season, averaging 22 minutes per game and only 9.2 points. However, now with the Cavaliers, he can steadily contribute 16+ points per game.
Just because they have performed well this season, saying that the Cavaliers have a strong lineup is undoubtedly an insult to the IQ of the audience and readers. Many fans did not even know who Desmond Bane was before.
So the Nets were in bad shape today, and Irving and George performed poorly, causing the team to unexpectedly lose the game?
This is also inappropriate. Although Irving and George performed averagely, Durant was in very good condition. Besides, isn't the condition during the game the standard for measuring a player's strength?
I said I was in bad shape when I lost this time, but what about the next time? Is it still a bad state? If I can’t poop, I blame the lack of gravity on the earth.
After much deliberation, the media couldn't find any reason, so they could only exaggerate Wang Feng's importance as much as possible.
The reason why the Cavaliers have the capital to defeat the Nets is entirely due to Wang Feng. His huge pressure on the offensive end caused the Nets' defensive end to collapse, allowing the Cavaliers to score more points.
On the defensive end, although he did not mainly defend the Big Three, the pressure he brought to them by helping to defend and double-team was even greater.
Wang Feng's defensive block that sent Irving back was used as one of the excerpts by many media. It is also the epitome of Wang Feng's contribution on the defensive end throughout the game.
"Wang Feng in the new season is undoubtedly stronger than before. On the court, he knows how to make his teammates better, and he also knows what kind of defense will make it more difficult for his opponents."
"He is like a commander overlooking the entire field, a head coach on the field, coordinating the rhythm of the entire team."
"The Nets seem to be playing against a Cavaliers team that does not have an All-Star player except Wang Feng, but in fact what they are really facing is a team that is completely under the control of Wang Feng!"
While they were full of praise for the Cavaliers, many media and basketball commentators also harshly criticized the Nets' loss in this game.
"The performance of the Brooklyn Nets in the new season is extremely disappointing. When the league's strongest Big Three team was formed three years ago, everyone thought that the Nets would take over the baton from the Warriors and create another Big Three team.
Crown Dynasty."
"But no one expected that in three years, the Nets failed to win a championship. Instead, the Los Angeles Lakers completed three consecutive championships, and the third championship was won over the Nets' corpse."
"Nets fans have given Durant, George and Irving great patience and tolerance, but it seems that this has no effect. Compared with Wang Feng, who can lead a grassroots lineup and play exciting games, this
The level of the three top superstars in the league is too different."
"Durant has lost to Wang Feng countless times. Whether it is on the finals stage or in the Olympics and World Championships, George will defend Wang Feng every time, and then be beaten mercilessly by Wang Feng. The so-called defensive champion is like
A joke."
"As for Irving... let's not mention it. The Cavaliers' home court was filled with all kinds of boos for Irving at first, but later on, no one was even willing to boo Irving anymore. Compared with cheering for Wang Feng, Irving seems to be insignificant.
.”
"There is no dispute that the Cleveland Cavaliers won this matchup and completely defeated the Nets. However, the Nets still have a chance. They will meet three times this season, including the Nets' two home games. Just look.
Can the Big Three successfully avenge the Cavaliers?"
…
Whether the Nets can complete their revenge in subsequent games is currently unknown, but the Cavaliers' momentum after defeating the Nets has risen to its peak.
On December 3, the day after the showdown with the Nets, the Cavaliers faced the Detroit Pistons at home and defeated their opponents 127:94.
Love and Bain scored 20+ points each, and Poole also scored 18 points.
On December 6, the Cavaliers played away against the Orlando Magic and won again with a score of 124:87.
The Cavaliers did not show any weakness against the strong teams in the league, and even attacked the weak teams at the bottom. After all, the Cavaliers have several role players with excellent strength and condition sitting on the bench, ready to fight. When dealing with strong teams, they may still be
You won't get much playing time, but you will have more opportunities against weaker teams.
In these two games, Wang Feng's statistics were average, with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists in one game and 26 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists in one game.
At this stage, Wang Feng, as long as the team can win, will be in a state of wanting nothing. He will also be happy to let other players perform with the ball. He will stand outside the three-point line to help stretch the space, which is completely different from previous seasons.
.
In the eyes of the outside world, this is proof of Wang Feng's maturity and transformation. He no longer values his own personal data, but instead pays more attention to the overall atmosphere of the team and the strength and status of his teammates.
Of course, people don't know that the main reason why Wang Feng's thirst for data has decreased is that he is temporarily unable to obtain the system's season rewards due to system upgrade tasks.
Without season evaluation, without reward statistics and distribution, personal data is certainly not that important to Wang Feng.
All his energy is now focused on how to make the Cavaliers' overall strength stronger, so that they can pass all the way through the playoffs and reach the finals, achieving the task conditions for system upgrades.
To this end, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his personal data and constantly passed and assisted Love, Poole, Bane and others to increase their strength.
Fortunately, the system task team has clear restrictions on players who cannot be elected to the All-Star and All-NBA Team within three years. Players who have been elected to the All-Stars due to their outstanding performance in the new season are not included in this list. Otherwise, Wang Feng would continue to train several players in the team.
At the same time, we must also be careful that if their data is too luxurious, they will be selected as this year's All-Stars, causing the mission condition restrictions to be triggered and their achievements will fall short.
On December 7, the Cavaliers faced another strong enemy in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers.
In the 76ers' away game, the Cavaliers rarely fell into a tough battle.
Embiid defeated Garrett Allen in the paint and scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. Harden also had 21 points and 8 assists.
Six members of the 76ers team scored in double figures, and their offensive firepower was amazing.
The Cavaliers were completely passive from the start and were completely overwhelmed by their opponent's single defense.
Under this circumstance, the shortcomings of emerging young players such as Poole and Bain also became apparent.
No matter how well they performed in previous games, when the team falls into a passive situation and feels bad and impatient, it will be difficult for them to quickly readjust and regain their form.
But fortunately, if this happens, the Cavaliers don't need them to step forward.
Wang Feng is always the most trustworthy player in critical and crisis moments.
At the end of the half, the score between the two teams was 74:56, trailing by a full 18 points. However, in the third quarter, Wang Feng exploded strongly, hitting 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and scoring 21 points in the third quarter.
Reduce the score difference between the two teams to single digits!
In the fourth quarter, it was Wang Feng's home court. Wang Feng scored another 19 points, including a three-point buzzer beater at the last moment!
The fans at the Philadelphia 76ers' home court were all dumbfounded. They never dreamed that with such a huge lead, Wang Feng could bring it back by himself. This is too exaggerated.
In the end, Wang Feng's data was fixed at 67 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists. 67 points was Wang Feng's new personal scoring high in the new season. Although it was not as exaggerated as 83 points in a single game last season, it was no less shocking, especially at the last minute.
The scene of two 76ers forward defenders taking decisive three-point shots is still fresh in my memory.
…
Of course, the Cavaliers are not completely invincible.
On December 9, the Cavaliers played an away game against the Boston Celtics and lost 110:116. This was the second time the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics this season. They have lost both times against the Boston Celtics so far.
Then on December 11, the Cavaliers played against the Houston Rockets at home.
Today's Rockets are no longer the Rockets that won the Most Valor Award a few years ago.
James Harden left for the 76ers in the Eastern Conference, and Chris Paul also bounced around two teams and finally returned to the New Orleans Pelicans.
That Rockets team had few players still on the team, and the Rockets also began to completely overturn the rebuilding work.
The current Rockets are the team with the worst record in the Western Conference, and are not much different from the Pistons and Magic in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers faced off against the Rockets. Logically speaking, they should be able to secure victory in this game.
But no one expected that the Rockets unexpectedly defeated the Cavaliers 117:109, giving the league's number one Cavaliers a defeat.
Wang Feng played quite well in this game, with 31 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. He was still a big triple-double. However, other Cavaliers players collectively stretched their hips, felt bad, and couldn't shoot from the outside no matter how hard they tried.
Wang Feng can see this through the function that comes with the purple Hall of Fame playmaker badge to view the potential shooting percentage of his teammates.
But even though he had seen it in advance, Wang Feng had nothing to do.
Of course, if we have to fight hard, considering the Rockets' weak defense, Wang Feng will not have no chance to score another 70+ points or something to turn the tide.
But after careful consideration, Wang Feng still did not choose to do that.
Even for Wang Feng, scoring a lot of points and consuming too much physical energy can cause injuries.
The opponent was originally the bottom team in the league, and the victory in this game did not have any necessary special meaning for the Cavaliers. It didn't matter even if they lost.
More importantly, as the Cavaliers continued to win, Wang Feng gradually began to notice some subtle changes in the atmosphere within the team.
Some players have become somewhat elated due to continuous victories and rising personal statistics, which has even affected games and daily training.
Wang Feng has been in the alliance for a long time, and he is very keenly aware that this is not a good atmosphere.
Young players often make this mistake. After achieving some results on the field, they will become arrogant and feel that they will become the stars of tomorrow and have reached the peak of their lives.
Just in time, Wang Feng took this opportunity to lose his temper in the team, scolded all the players who performed poorly, and then the whole team stayed for extra practice.
Nowadays, Wang Feng has gained considerable momentum. When he gets angry, no one in the team dares to vent his anger loudly. Even the coaching staff, including head coach Bickerstaff, just listens silently from a distance and does not conduct any activities.
Prevent.
Wang Feng’s knocking had an immediate effect.
Under his sudden output, everyone in the Cavaliers was in danger. Everyone knew Wang Feng's status in the Cavaliers. As long as he was willing, there would be no problem in letting any player be traded away from the team the next day!
After reorganization, the Cavaliers regained their spirit and won easily by big scores in the next three games against the Spurs, Toronto Raptors and Hornets, winning three consecutive victories.
Before you know it, most of the December schedule has passed, and there are only a few games left, including the Christmas game.
The Cavaliers, who were not scheduled to play a Christmas game in the past two years, finally have a Christmas game in the new season because of Wang Feng's arrival. Their opponent for this year's Christmas game is Wang Feng's former team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
As time enters the end of December, the league's annual highlight, the All-Star voting event, begins as scheduled.
