Chapter 444 System upgrade, dominance mode activated
Different from G1, where he only scored 26 points while paddling the whole time, in G2, Wang Feng was full of firepower and staged a scoring battle with Durant.
It's just that unlike the previous division semifinals and Antetokounmpo's soaring scores, the scoring showdown between Wang Feng and Durant was not as exciting as when Antetokounmpo was there.
This is mainly related to the way Durant scores.
Durant, who mainly relies on mid-range jump shots to score, is quite different in terms of viewing ability from Antetokounmpo, who goes straight to the basket every time and engages in fierce muscle collisions. Moreover, although Durant's scoring ability is recognized to be stronger than Giannis Antetokounmpo,
, but his explosive scoring power has always been his weakness.
Limited by his body and physical fitness, Durant has never scored more than 60 points in a single game so far in his career, whether in the regular season or the playoffs.
This also led to the fact that at the beginning, Durant could compete with Wang Feng in terms of scoring ability. However, as time went by, Durant's efficiency began to decline, while Wang Feng's side continued to score efficiently as always.
There is no way, who can make Wang Feng's physical fitness reach the full value of 99, and also have three purple Hall of Fame level fatigue badges?
Looking at the entire league, no one can match Wang Feng in terms of staying power.
In the end, the G2 Cavaliers successfully won again with 121:115.
Wang Feng scored a game-high 46 points, while Durant scored 39 points.
The Cavaliers, who successfully won two home games, are already leading 2:0 with a total score. If they get the match point at 3:0, the Nets will completely lose the chance to win the Eastern Conference Finals.
Naturally, the Nets were unwilling to end like this.
In G3 of the series, the Nets returned to their home court and put up a desperate fight. The Big Three broke out at the same time. Durant scored 31 points, Irving 34 points, and George 28 points. The three of them scored 93 points together, leading the Nets to win the game at home.
Three games.
In the following Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Big Three once again combined to score 87 points, especially Durant's 13 points in the final quarter, thrillingly winning Game 4 and bringing the score back to a 2:2 draw.
The game was actually successfully dragged into the Battle of Tianwang Mountain by the Nets.
The key battle of Tianwangshan in G5 was held at the home court of the Cavaliers. After returning to the home court, the Cavaliers' role players recovered. With Wang Feng's 41 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists in a single quarter, they successfully won the key Tianwangshan, and the total score came to 3:2.
.
The Nets, who lost the battle at Tianwangshan, thought they could return to their home court and use their home court advantage to tie the score tenaciously and engage in the final tiebreaker with the Cavaliers.
But no one expected that in the G6 game, the Nets would unexpectedly suffer injuries.
Paul George, one of the Big Three, accidentally sprained his ankle while landing a layup again. He fell to the ground and finally limped back to the locker room with the support of his teammates.
George's injury was both unexpected and reasonable.
Although the Big Three of the Nets have the best offensive ability in the league, they all have injury risks and glassy attributes.
Regardless of Irving's injuries over the years, although Durant has avoided serious injuries that could affect his career due to the butterfly effect, his physique determines that his ability to resist injuries is insufficient.
Paul George is not much better either. In another time and space, since joining the Clippers, George's attendance rate has always been less than 80%, missing more than a dozen games every season, and suffering from minor injuries and illnesses.
This season, due to salary space, the Nets seriously lack high-quality rotation role players. In order to win, they can only let the Big Three stay on the court more. In this case, not only must they participate in the offense,
George, who is responsible for the Nets' defense, actually has accumulated more fatigue than Durant and Irving.
This was particularly prominent in the Eastern Conference Finals series, because every time the Nets and Cavaliers met, the only person responsible for defending Wang Feng on the Nets side was George.
Is Wang Feng so easy to defend? George must make 100% efforts to limit Wang Feng as much as possible every time, and at the same time, he must participate in the offense of the Big Three.
Excluding the injured G6, in the first five games, George averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, second only to Durant and Irving in scoring, and even lower than Wang Feng and Durant among the two teams they played against.
The three of them with Irving scored higher than Poole and Love on the Cavaliers.
Attacking and defending requires a lot of energy, which consumes George's physical energy seriously and accumulates fatigue, which naturally creates hidden dangers of injuries.
Whether George's ankle sprain is serious or not requires professional examination to determine the result, but no matter what, there is no way for him to return to the field in this game.
In this crucial G6 game, the Nets are missing Paul George, one of the Big Three... How can they play this game?
After two quarters, the Cavaliers were already leading by nearly 20 points!
The home court of the Brooklyn Nets was quiet, and some fans had begun to leave the venue early.
Nets owner Tsai Chongxin was sitting on the sidelines, watching his team lose, with disappointment in his eyes.
Since investing in the acquisition of the Brooklyn Nets, Boss Tsai has been working hard in the past few years and has not been stingy in team expenditures. He has built a luxurious Big Three team. He thought he could easily win the championship with this lineup, but this year's consecutive declines
The halberd sinking into the sand really made him feel disappointed.
"Sure enough, if you want to win, you still need Wang Feng..."
Tsai Chongxin looked at the opponent's players on the field, Wang Feng, who had the same skin color and came from the same land as him.
After taking over the Nets, it is not that he has not tried to win over Wang Feng. In fact, Cai Chongxin has actively communicated with Wang Feng many times in various public occasions in the NBA. Even on the surface, the relationship between the two is quite harmonious.
.
A media reporter once asked Wang Feng if he was interested in playing for Tsai Chongxin's Nets. Wang Feng's answer was that of course he would if given the opportunity.
It's just that the so-called opportunity seems a bit ambiguous.
In Wang Feng's mind, whenever Irving and Durant are no longer on the team and only George is left, it is not impossible to consider the possibility of playing for the Nets.
After all, the Nets are located in Brooklyn, New York. As the largest city in the United States, it is even more prosperous than Los Angeles.
Small cities like Cleveland are just a transition for Wang Feng. Considering his future career plans and life comfort, Wang Feng also prefers big cities.
Of course, that's all a thing for later. Wang Feng has the initiative, and it's up to him where he goes.
117:109.
This was the final score of the two teams in G6. The Cavaliers took a big lead in the first half, so they replaced role players in advance. Their lead was slightly overtaken, but they still won the game steadily.
With a total score of 4:2, the Cavaliers eliminated the Nets and won the Eastern Conference finals. While winning the Eastern Conference championship trophy, they also successfully advanced to the finals and will continue to compete with the winning team in the Western Conference finals for the championship!
Cavaliers fans rejoice.
After 4 years, the Cavaliers finally returned to the finals stage.
The last trip of the Cavaliers to the Finals can be traced back to the 17-18 season. Wang Feng and Irving left the team one after another. James led the Cavaliers with a broken lineup to reach the Finals with difficulty, and then was defeated by the Warriors in the Finals.
Was swept out 4:0.
That Finals was definitely a terrible and despairing experience for Cleveland fans.
From the first game, they could not see that the team had any hope of winning. What made them even more desperate was that after the disastrous defeat, they finally relied on James and left decisively.
Although the breakup this time was considered amicable because James brought them a championship, Cavaliers fans did not resent James for choosing to leave for the second time. Instead, they understood and thanked James very much.
But when James left, what was left was a dilapidated Cavaliers team with only Love. No one could feel the future and hope when looking at it.
At that time, no one thought that the Cavaliers would be able to welcome Wang Feng back. Under Wang Feng's leadership, they would go from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to the first place in the Eastern Conference in just one season, and even lose to the Bucks and Nets in the playoffs.
The two rivals went directly to the finals.
No matter whether the opponent in the Finals is the Clippers or the Lakers, they don't think the Cavaliers will lose.
The city of Cleveland may usher in its second championship trophy from the four major leagues in history!
…
It was a little different from the excited Cavaliers players and fans.
Wang Feng was also very happy that the Cavaliers successfully entered the finals, but he was even more happy because the system's mission objectives were successfully achieved.
System upgrade task one: Lead the national team to win two top international championships. (Achieved)
System upgrade task two: Lead a team with a winning rate of less than 30% last season to the finals. At the same time, the team is not allowed to have players who have been selected to the best team or all-star in the past three years. (Achieved)
"Ding——! All system mission objectives have been achieved, and the upgrade is in progress... The system has been upgraded, the reward mechanism has been restored, and two new functional modules have been added. Please check it out yourself."
Wang Feng felt happy now.
The system upgrade task is completed, and his goal for this season has been successfully achieved. It doesn't matter even if he loses in the finals!
Of course, now that the reward mechanism has been restored, even if the regular season season evaluation and various event awards are not included in the rewards, at least the superimposed rewards of the championship and finals FMVP will still be settled.
For this system upgrade task, Wang Feng has already made a huge sacrifice. He has not received any rewards for winning the Olympic gold medal, nor has he received the rewards for the regular season evaluation, scoring champion, assists champion, and being selected for the best first team and first defense.
Therefore, this final reward must be obtained no matter what.
That's a purple badge of your choice! How could Wang Feng give up so easily? Even if he risked his life, he still had to win the game!
"So, what are the two new modules that have been added to the system that cost me so much and put so much effort into upgrading?"
Curious, Wang Feng entered the conscious space on the plane returning to Cleveland from Brooklyn and checked out the changes after the system upgrade.
First of all, the first interface is still his personal data panel. There are not many obvious changes from the past. The overall rating is still 99, and all the values are the same as before.
The badge wall on the other side is as usual, with dozens of activated badges hanging shining brightly on the badge wall.
Continuing to read, Wang Feng saw the newly added functions after the system update.
"Is this...the dominance bar?"
Looking at the huge progress bar hanging high in the air, which was exactly the same as in the game, Wang Feng's mouth couldn't help but open into an O shape.
The concept of dominance function is newly added in 2K19.
To put it simply, this thing is a bit like an energy bar in a fighting game. Through constant fighting, the energy bar is accumulated. When the energy bar is full, you can release a killer move to win or reverse the defeat.
Once the dominance value in the 2K game is full, you can turn on the dominance state, consume the energy bar and greatly increase the player's related ability values.
Speaking of which, this thing is somewhat similar to the key shooter, but the difference is that the time when the dominance ability is activated is completely determined by the player. As long as the dominance bar is full, it can be activated at any time.
Secondly, the key shooter can only improve the player's shooting ability, but the dominance is different. According to the different dominance skills, the improved abilities after turning on the dominance are also different. Some can improve the player's breakthrough speed and ability to attack the basket, and some can strengthen the defense.
, increase the player's ability to rebound and block shots, and can also increase the accuracy of passing and enhance the scoring efficiency of teammates.
All in all, once the dominance skill is activated, as the name suggests, the player will become the dominant player on the court and can do anything!
At this moment, Wang Feng's dominance bar was completely empty, and the two skill slots below the dominance bar were also empty.
Similar to badges, dominance skills also need to be activated and bound. They are divided into many types according to the player's position and style. Defenders, forwards and centers each have multiple dominance types. In the game, players can bind up to two types.
A dominating skill, a primary skill and a secondary skill.
Judging from the two empty skill slots in the consciousness space, Wang Feng can probably only equip the main and secondary master skills at the same time.
The question now is, how to obtain the dominance skill?
Is it the same as badges, which need to be achieved in the NBA and then obtained from rewards?
In Wang Feng's impression, in the 2K game, the dominance skills change independently according to the player's modeling type and point-adding style. A player modeled like a defender cannot obtain the dominance skills of an inside center anyway.
Looking at it this way, the dominant skills Wang Feng can obtain are most likely the skills of forward position players, such as the branch skills of attacking the basket, dribbling and shooting, or fixed-point shooting.
However, no matter what kind of dominance skills Wang Feng acquires, this newly opened ability will undoubtedly make Wang Feng stronger and more invulnerable.
"What the system just said is that two new module functions have been added. The master function can only be counted as one, so what is the other function?"
Wang Feng thought like this and continued to check in the consciousness space.
