From the beginning, Wang Feng's clean and neat movements around the pick-and-roll had already left Van Gundy's memory fresh. Oakley's standard pick-and-roll could be bypassed in the blink of an eye. This is not something that ordinary people can do easily.
Just now, in Wang Feng's two rounds of defense, the timing of the first round was perfect and he successfully interfered with the opponent's shooting. In the second round, he keenly judged the opponent's passing route and successfully intercepted the ball.
There is something good about these two defenses.
"With super physical fitness and excellent defensive awareness, this kid is a weapon for perimeter defense!"
Van Gundy's eyes shone and his heart became more and more excited.
The scene of the Knicks losing to the Bulls on Christmas Day is still vivid in my mind.
At that time, if a top perimeter defender like Wang Feng had been used to deal with Pippen, the outcome would have been hard to say.
If Wang Feng knew what Van Gundy was thinking now, he might not know whether to laugh or cry.
I am an all-round warrior, but under your command I can only serve as a defensive vanguard. Isn't this too miserable?
But there are still many opportunities left for Wang Feng to show himself.
The blue team attacked, and Charles Smith received a pass from his teammate from the mid-range and hit a jump shot, which helped the blue team stabilize the somewhat collapsed situation.
But on the other side, the white team attacked and the basketball was once again in Wang Feng's hands.
The crisp dunks in the previous two rounds successfully allowed Wang Feng to gain the trust of the players on the white team.
Anyway, Ewing is tired now and clearly has an attitude of fishing in troubled waters and not wanting to fight, so let's give Wang Feng the ball.
The basketball was soon handed over to Wang Feng again.
After suffering losses in the first two rounds, Anthony Bonner has learned his lesson. He knows that with the speed that Wang Feng shows when he breaks through with the ball, he will never be able to keep up. In order to prevent Wang Feng from being able to break through with the ball as he pleases, Bonner
He deliberately stood a little further back, leaving a distance sufficient for his reaction and judgment.
What he doesn't know is that in the future league, most defensive players would rather defend closely and let Wang Feng break through than leave even a small chance for Wang Feng to shoot a three-pointer.
Wang Feng's three-pointers can really kill people!
How could Wang Feng miss this opportunity?
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly pulled out his hand on the spot.
At this time, his position was nearly one meter away from the three-point line. This distance was close to the position where the league had not shortened the three-point line. Bonner did not expect Wang Feng to take action from such a long distance. When he saw Wang Feng
After taking off to shoot, it's too late to step up and raise your hands to interfere.
With almost completely open shots, Wang Feng's shooting percentage is almost infinitely close to 100% with the help of 99 full-value three-pointers and multiple shooting badges.
"Whoa!"
The basketball hit the net.
"Wang Feng...his shot selection is not very good."
Van Gundy frowned slightly.
Although Wang Feng made this three-pointer very beautifully, in the eyes of the older generation of NBA coaches who advocate inside scoring and believe that the closer to the basket, the higher the scoring efficiency, this kind of long-distance three-pointer is extremely risky.
It's like gambling. It's easy to say anything if you win, but what should you do if you lose?
Even if the three-point line is shortened, it will be difficult to change these coaches' outdated ideas.
Riley on the other side raised his eyebrows.
Even if you don't take into account the three-pointer, which is a huge gamble (in their opinion), Wang Feng has already scored 7 points in just one minute. Such explosive scoring power is not something ordinary players can possess.
"What are you doing?"
Oakley was a little unhappy.
Bonner allowed Wang Feng to score 7 points in a row, and the blue team's original double-digit lead was reduced to within ten points.
He was originally unhappy with Wang Feng, but now he saw Wang Feng scoring consecutively. How could he be happy?
Oakley, who is a big troll in the league, is not polite at all when facing his teammates, and just punishes Zaun.
Bonner was so scolded that he couldn't say a word.
It is an indisputable fact that Wang Feng scored 7 points in a row under his defense. No matter how he made excuses, it was of no avail. But he was also aggrieved by the problem. He originally thought that this was a soft persimmon and he could take the opportunity to bully him and show off his abilities.
Who would have thought that this guy was not a soft persimmon, but a hard rock. Bonner bit into it and chipped a few of his teeth.
The blue team attacked. Derek Harper used his teammates' pick-and-roll to hold the ball and break through the basket. He successfully avoided Ewing's block with a pull bar and then made a layup.
But the moment he took a basketball shot, Wang Feng suddenly came out from the wing and blocked his layup with a block.
Wang Feng once again demonstrated his super mobility in front of everyone to assist in defense.
"Such a defensive ability...as long as he can perform at about 80% in official NBA games, there will be no problem in being selected for the best defensive team of the season."
Van Gundy has made up his mind. After this match, he will persuade the head coach to keep Wang Feng no matter what, at all costs! Such a top outside defensive player is what they must get!
The white team attacked on the field, and the ball came to Wang Feng again.
"Get out of the way! I'll do it!"
Bonner was about to step forward to defend, but Oakley roughly pushed him aside.
Wang Feng's repeated scoring has made him furious. He doesn't think it's because Wang Feng is superior, it's just because Bonner's defense is too bad. Just like Wang Feng's breakthrough, it's very fast, but so what.
?No matter how fast you go, you still have to pass by him, and if you want to pass by him, you have to shed your skin first!
Seeing that Oakley wanted to defend Wang Feng personally, Bonner was happy instead of angry.
He quickly stepped back, thinking to himself at the same time.
"It's obvious that you are awesome. Let's wait and see how you get off the stage after that guy scores on his head!"
Wang Feng also became happy when he saw Oakley coming to him.
Just in time, I need a pillow when I feel sleepy.
The Knicks currently have the strongest defensive ability on Oakley.
Last season, the 1993-94 season, Oakley had just been selected to the All-Defensive First Team, and it was at the height of his popularity. Although he was not very fast and struggled to defend the perimeter, Oakley relied on his rough defense.
It can also cause some interference to outside players.
Just like now, Oakley is standing in front of Wang Feng, with his center of gravity lowered and his arms spread out, like an old hen spreading its wings. Although the posture is not beautiful, it is quite practical, because if Wang Feng wants to break through with the ball
, it is necessary to bypass Oakley's open arms, and the breakthrough line becomes very long, and his speed advantage cannot be used.
And because of this defensive posture, Oakley is not worried about Wang Feng's breakthrough, so he stands relatively forward, and Wang Feng does not have enough space to shoot.
I have to admit that although he is dirty, there is a reason why Oakley became a representative figure of a generation of iron-blooded defense in the 1990s.
But if you want to guard Wang Feng with this kind of defense, you are still too young.
Not to mention Oakley, who has only been selected to the All-Defensive Team twice in his entire career, even top forwards such as Leonard, Green, and Antetokounmpo, who have won the Best Defensive Players and have been selected to the first defense many times.
Defensive players can't say they can guard Wang Feng, and even limiting his scoring efficiency is extremely difficult.
Facing Oakley's defensive posture like an eagle catching a chicken, Wang Feng held the ball in both hands, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and took a sudden step forward.
"Sure enough, do we still have to force a breakthrough?"
When Oakley saw this, he immediately stepped forward and secretly exerted his strength, determined to stagger Wang Feng first.
This kind of defense rarely calls fouls even in regular NBA games, let alone this kind of intra-team competition.
But Oakley used all his strength, but was unable to hit Wang Feng.
Because at the moment when the two were about to come into physical contact, Wang Feng suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch and pulled the basketball back. At the same time, he took a big step back to distance himself from Oakley.
Step back?
This is not over yet!
Wang Feng, who stepped back to distance himself, directly used his strength to take off on the spot, and then launched a crisp three-point shot. The whole set of movements was so smooth that it was pleasing to the eye.
Wang Feng was originally some distance away from the three-point line, but with this long step back, he was nearly 9 meters away from the basket.
Seeing that Wang Feng actually stepped back and shot a three-pointer in this position, Van Gundy was even more sure of Wang Feng's offensive instability.
"He has to shoot a three-pointer from such a distance. He must correct this bad habit in the future, otherwise..."
"Whoa!"
Van Gundy was stunned.
Not only him, but the players on the field and coaches such as Riley on the sidelines, assistant coaches and watching players were also stunned.
Can this TM enter? Isn’t it too exaggerated?
It is not that there are no players in the NBA who can shoot long-distance three-pointers, but they are basically just tentative shots with blind ideas at the last moment when the shot time is about to end.
No one like Wang Feng can shoot a three-pointer from such a long distance while still having enough attack time, and he also shot a hollow three-pointer!
Van Gundy: "..."
He immediately remembered Wang Feng's three-point score in the previous trial.
At that time, although Van Gundy was shocked by Wang Feng's three-point shooting, he didn't take it to heart. First of all, the league itself did not pay attention to three-pointers. On the other hand, three-point shooting in training and in games are completely different concepts.
, the interference of defensive players, the tense atmosphere on the field, the noise of fans outside the field, and even the overhead lights will seriously affect and restrict the shooting rate.
Therefore, even if Wang Feng's three-pointers during the trial training were full marks, Van Gundy still does not have a precise understanding of the lethality of Wang Feng's three-pointers in actual combat.
"Boy, are you blind?"
Wang Feng made a three-pointer, which made Oakley even more unhappy.
He tried his best to teach Wang Feng a lesson, but if Wang Feng kept shooting three-pointers from the outside, there was nothing he could do.
"What?" Faced with Oakley's provocation, Wang Feng smiled slightly and said in a calm tone. "Can't you even guard a shot?"
Wang Feng's light words were quite powerful at all. Oakley's eyes widened in anger and he stared at Wang Feng fiercely.
But Wang Feng's counterattack is not over yet.
He pointed to an area outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right and said to Oakley: "Next round, I will shoot a three-pointer there."
This guy is too arrogant...
Now it was not just Oakley, but other players on the field who heard the conversation between the two came up with this idea.
This is what Wang Feng wants.
Since a stepping stone has come to his door, he will not be polite and strive to show his true strength to the coaching staff as quickly as possible.
In the next round, Wang Feng got the ball again.
The white team also wanted to see if Wang Feng would really hit another three-pointer from that position, so no one was holding the ball. Hubert Davis quickly passed the ball to Wang Feng.
As soon as Wang Feng received the ball, Oakley immediately came over.
If he doesn't respond to being provoked like that, how will he be able to play in the team in the future?
At this time, Oakley no longer cared about the issue of martial ethics. He leaned forward directly, grabbed his hands randomly, and at the same time, his chest kept hitting Wang Feng, trying to make Wang Feng lose his balance.
This unique defensive method of the 1980s and 1990s was even more difficult to deal with than Death Coil. Many times, his movements felt like a violation or foul. However, Wang Feng's strength determined that he would not suffer too much in the confrontation.
Oakley's close defense had little effect on Wang Feng. The latter grabbed the ball with one hand and put it behind his back, while using the other hand to block Oakley's various small moves.
Seeing the right opportunity, Wang Feng jumped decisively.
"This guy really dares to vote like this?"
Oakley was so surprised that he immediately took off with Wang Feng.
But when he reached the air, Oakley realized that the height of his jump was very different from Wang Feng's.
With a jumping ability value of 91, Wang Feng can jump very high. Oakley is not much taller than Wang Feng. With his jumping ability so low, it is completely impossible to block shots.
Therefore, Oakley immediately changed his mind and tried his best to block Wang Feng's sight, which he could still do.
Wang Feng's view towards the basket was completely covered by Oakley, and it was so tight that no gaps could be seen.
"Can you still make this shot?"
It was much further away from the three-point line, and with the force of a pull-up and his line of sight blocked, Oakley simply didn't believe that anyone could make a shot in this situation.
However, Wang Feng did not hesitate at all in his shot and shot extremely decisively.
The moment he took action, multiple badges on the badge wall began to flash at the same time in the consciousness space.
A marksman who can resist negative interference effects, a hot zone hunter who improves shooting percentage, and a long-range turret that increases the shooting range!
"brush!"
The crisp sound of brushing the screen sounded again.
The expression on Oakley's face was frozen, and his eyes were full of disbelief and shock.
Can all this TM enter? Is this guy cheating?
Of course, Oakley doesn't know what cheating means, but that doesn't prevent him from understanding the general meaning of this sentence.
Wang Feng's three-pointer is so unreasonable!
With the blessing of the dual badges of marksman and hot zone hunter, he is simply unreasonable. As long as his own touch is normal and his shots are not directly blocked, he can ensure a stable shooting rate.
