Chapter 461: Conquering Oakley in the Rebound Battle
Chapter 461 Battle for rebounds, defeating Oakley
Wang Feng's three consecutive three-pointers shocked everyone present.
In the NBA, it's true that there are situations where players have great shooting skills no matter how they shoot. But even so, Wang Feng's statement is too exaggerated.
In front of Oakley, a top defensive player who was selected to the All-Defensive Team last season, he hit two three-pointers in a row, and the opponent was completely anxious and showed no mercy.
Although it was just a few three-pointers, it can be seen that Wang Feng's shooting ability is strong.
"Pause."
At this time, head coach Riley spoke.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because if the game continued, they didn't know how to play. More importantly, looking at Oakley's eyes red at this time, maybe this guy had a hot head and lost his temper during the game.
Waiting for an opportunity to give Wang Feng a hard blow.
During the break, Riley and Van Gundy looked at Wang Feng up and down together, as if they were seeing him for the first time.
"Your level is really beyond my expectation." Riley sighed: "It's hard to imagine that you have never played in a regular basketball league. Is this the so-called talent?"
Wang Feng didn't say anything. He couldn't tell the other party that not only did he have cheats, but he also played in the NBA for several years in another time and space, and won 7 championships. His game experience was no less than that of any veteran, right?
"In the following time, the white team's ball rights will be concentrated in your hands. You can play all the things you are good at. I will decide your future positioning in the team based on your performance."
Riley said.
Van Gundy couldn't help but glance at Riley.
The meaning of the head coach's words is actually very obvious. Wang Feng's performance in just a few minutes has completely conquered Riley. Unsurprisingly, Wang Feng will become an important player for the Knicks and will be at least as good as Stark.
Such a tactical position.
Wang Feng is really lucky. You know, even many NBA top picks may not receive such attention when they first join the league.
Just as Van Gundy was thinking this, he heard Wang Feng say: "On the court, there is nothing I am not good at. If the team can play around me as the core player with the ball, I am confident that I can help the Knicks win the championship this year."
.”
Van Gundy: "..."
He widened his eyes in astonishment and looked at Wang Feng in disbelief.
This guy dares to say anything?
There is nothing he is not good at on the court? Can we win the championship with him as the core?
How arrogant do you have to be to dare to speak like this!
Even the calm and steady Riley was so choked up by Wang Feng's words that he couldn't help laughing for a moment.
"Did you say you are good at everything? Interesting, do you dare to compete with Charles in rebounding?"
Wang Feng also laughed.
"What's wrong with this?"
Although the current rebounding leader in the Knicks is Ewing, everyone knows that Oakley is the one with the strongest rebounding ability in the team.
Although Ewing has the advantage of height, due to previous injuries, his confrontation ability is weak, and his rebounding is at the bottom of the four major centers.
Although Ewing averaged 11 rebounds per game this season, this has an important relationship with Oakley's role as a blue-collar player in the interior, responsible for blocking the opponent's interior.
Even though his playing time per game is nearly 6 minutes less than Ewing's, Oakley can still contribute 9 rebounds per game, including 3.1 offensive rebounds, ranking among the top in the league. It can be seen that this power forward who is only 2.03 meters tall is rebounding.
The ball's sense of smell and positioning ability are very strong.
The reason why Riley asked Wang Feng and Oakley to compete for rebounds was because he wanted to rub Wang Feng's energy.
Although it is unfair to compare what Oakley is best at with Wang Feng, an outside player, who makes Wang Feng so arrogant and dare to say that he can do anything on the court?
After hearing Wang Feng's promise, Riley waved and called Oakley, who was not far away.
"Charles, you compete with him for rebounds."
Riley's words stunned Oakley.
He looked at Wang Feng and then at the head coach. He was a little confused as to which play he was dealing with?
"Coach, you want me to rebound with him?"
"That's right." Riley nodded and said lightly. "He just told me that he was very good at rebounding. I didn't believe it, so I wanted to see it."
"Okay!" Oakley's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just now, he was so angry because he was slapped in the face continuously by Wang Feng and thinking about how to get revenge. Now he is really dozing off and needs a pillow.
This kid's shooting is a bit weird, and Oakley couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, but if it's blocking and rebounding that he's best at, then the situation is different.
Oakley has absolute confidence that he will teach this guy who knows nothing about the world a lesson in the field he is best at!
…
"Huh? Why are Charles and the new guy on the scene again? What are they going to do?"
Everyone who was still resting on the sidelines suddenly discovered that Wang Feng and Oakley were on the court again.
"Are you ready?"
Van Gundy held the basketball in his hand, looked at the two people standing under the basket, and asked.
Seeing both of them nodding, Van Gundy threw the basketball towards the basket.
Is this... a rebound? Let the newcomer compete with Oakley for rebounds? Isn't this bullying?
Seeing this scene, everyone subconsciously thought so.
Under the basket, Oakley glanced at the trajectory of the basketball and basically judged the approximate landing point of the ball.
But just when he was about to take the first step to reach the position of the card owner in front of the landing point, he was shocked to find that Wang Feng actually acted almost at the same time as him, and the target direction was exactly the same as his!
"How is that possible?" Oakley was shocked. Oakley had always been very confident in his sense of rebounding. He didn't believe that Wang Feng could judge the rebound spot as quickly as he did!
But that’s the reality.
The defensive rebounding ability value of 93 and the offensive rebounding ability value of 90 give Wang Feng extremely strong judgment on rebound placement.
Although Oakley is a good rebounder, he is not really a top first-line player in the league. Even some players who are shorter than him have many rebounding abilities that are better than him, such as the rebounding monster Luo
Deman, Flying Pig Buckley, etc.
Although Wang Feng's rebounding ability in his early 90s is not the best, it is enough to compete with Oakley.
Not only that, relying on his more agile skills than Oakley, Wang Feng grabbed the rebound spot first and successfully blocked Oakley's position.
His card position ability value is also 90, and combined with the strength of 88, when the card master position was advanced, Oakley tried hard to push Wang Feng away, but failed.
Relying on the card owner's rebound placement in advance, Wang Feng overpowered Oakley and successfully picked off the rebound.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Oakley can't even grab a rebound from Wang Feng?
Of course, a ball doesn't mean anything. Van Gundian endured the shock in his heart and continued to throw the ball to the basket.
In the next few rebounds, Wang Feng and Oakley competed with each other. In terms of strength, Oakley had the advantage, but the advantage was not huge. However, in terms of speed, agility and jumping, Wang Feng was overwhelmed by his talent.
"this……"
Looking at the two men fighting for rebounds on the court, no one on the sidelines could say a word.
They can all see that Oakley has been working hard. In order to grab the rebound in front of Wang Feng, who is faster than him, he frequently makes various small moves, including elbow strikes, pulling clothes, pushing the waist, stepping on his feet, almost
He did everything he could. If he were in a formal game, he would have been sitting on the court with several fouls.
But even so, he can barely compete with Wang Feng in terms of the number of rebounds. It can be seen that without considering other factors, Wang Feng's rebounding ability is obviously better.
"How could this happen..."
Ewing opened his mouth and murmured in a daze.
As the player with the strongest rebounding ability on the team besides Oakley, he knows the intensity of the competition between the two better than anyone else.
At his peak, Ewing was definitely better at rebounding than Oakley, but now he is limited by injuries and his physical fitness has declined. Without the confrontation and explosiveness of the past, he often has to rely on Oakley on the court.
Helps protect rebounds.
What Oakley is best at is blocking for rebounds and defense. In this regard, he can't beat this newcomer who just came to the team and has a ten-day short contract. This is far better than Wang Feng's continuous scoring in the previous match.
The ball is even more shocking!
After all, shooting is all about touch. Once the touch gets hot, even a person with a very low level will sometimes be unable to shoot as he pleases.
But grabbing rebounds is completely different! In the confrontation with the opponent, you need to always pay attention to the rebound point, block the position in advance, and even wrestle with the opponent!
Wang Feng looks fair and clean, but who would have thought that he could be so fierce in grabbing rebounds?
"He actually really..."
Van Gundy's long mouth never closed from the beginning. He almost mechanically took the basketball from the assistant on the side and threw it to the basket, watching the two men wrestling under the basket over and over again.
On the side, Riley's eyes were fixed on Wang Feng, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
As the rebound process progressed, Riley was keenly aware of the difference.
Different from grabbing a rebound only after an offensive round on the court, Wang Feng and Oakley continuously grab rebounds under the basket without stopping and compete with each other. In this case, the physical consumption is quite exaggerated.
of.
After a few rounds, Oakley began to pant continuously, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. But on the other hand, Wang Feng's side was obviously in a situation where his strength was slightly suppressed, but he always showed calmness and ease.
But now, Oakley was out of breath, and the protective clothing on his back was soaked with sweat, but Wang Feng looked as if he had just finished a warm-up exercise.
"This guy's physical fitness..."
Wang Feng brought one surprise to Riley one after another.
Watching Oakley's movements become slower and slower, his steps becoming more and more wandering, and gradually falling behind by half a beat in the battle to get stuck and grab rebound points, while Wang Feng's movements are as fast and capable as ever, and Riley
I realized that not only Wang Feng’s rebounding ability, but also Wang Feng’s confrontation ability and physical fitness are at the top level!
"alright."
When he finally heard the head coach's call to stop, Oakley felt relieved and sat down on the ground, gasping for air. His jersey was almost completely soaked with sweat.
To be honest, when the confrontation reached the end, he had no intention of continuing to compete with Wang Feng, and he only thought about when it would be over soon.
Even the league's famous villains couldn't withstand such an exaggerated confrontation.
On the other side, Wang Feng put his hands on his hips and breathed a long sigh of relief, with a slight smile on his face.
Win!
This was what he expected.
If it were just a competition in rebounding, due to the lack of rebounding-related badges and with various values in the early 90s, he could only be on par with Oakley at best.
But as time went by, the effects of his two fatigue badges began to show.
The former is to reduce the physical energy consumption during physical contact and confrontation with the opponent when attacking.
The latter can reduce the physical energy consumption of the body to end the confrontation when defending.
In the process of grabbing the rebound just now, although Wang Feng could not clearly determine whether it was an offensive rebound or a defensive rebound, the system would still make its own judgment and make at least one of the two fatigue badges active.
The fatigue badge that has reached the Purple Hall of Fame level has a terrifyingly high physical strength reduction resistance. Coupled with Wang Feng's physical ability value of 99, let alone one Oakley, even if there are three Oakleys taking turns in battle, he is sure to give them all
Get down all tired!
only……
He lifted his jersey and looked at the bruises on his body caused by Oakley's various little moves. Although he was mentally prepared, Wang Feng was still shocked.
"Fuck, this old coin is really dirty."
Wang Feng has truly experienced what the confrontation in the 1990s was like.
Indeed, some of the ancient black remarks are not groundless.
With this intensity of confrontation alone, at least those players who mainly rely on free throws to cause damage in the future will have a hard time performing.
It is also thanks to Wang Feng's endurance of 99, his various ability values that have been strengthened to an exaggerated level, and the blessing of the badge, otherwise he is really not sure whether he has the ability to dominate the alliance in this era.
"This guy... is a monster."
Wang Feng lifted up his clothes and saw bruises all over his body from being pinched. The other players also saw it and were secretly shocked. At the same time, these people sincerely made such comments in their hearts.
To be fair, if they had been up against Oakley, they probably wouldn't have been able to survive long ago. Grabbing a rebound is a small thing, but life safety is a big thing.
You only get a few hundred yuan a month, what are you doing with your life?
But no matter what, Wang Feng successfully conquered everyone with his very tough performance, including Oakley.
"Boy, you are really good! I'm convinced!"
After sitting on the ground panting for a long time, Oakley said to Wang Feng with a wry smile. "I didn't expect that there are players like you in Asia. It's amazing! I lost!"
Wang Feng looked at Oakley with some surprise. He didn't expect that this famous basketball villain would actually admit defeat to him.
At this time, Wang Feng had not realized how abnormal his behavior just now was.
In order to defeat Wang Feng in the battle for rebounds, Oakley had done everything he could. In addition to directly destroying Wang Feng, he had used all kinds of tricks. The bruises on Wang Feng's body were the best proof.
But what made Oakley's mentality explode was that no matter how hard he tried, Wang Feng was like a tireless machine, always entangled with him, constantly consuming his physical energy, and tiring him out.
In all the years of his career, Oakley has never faced such an opponent. Even when he was at a disadvantage against Karl Malone, Danny Rodman, Charles Barkley and others, he never felt like this.
Not to mention that those people are all long-established stars in the league, while Wang Feng is just a newcomer who has never played in the NBA, and he is also an outside player.
After Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he stretched out his hand towards Oakley.
"I was also shocked. I didn't expect there to be such a tough player like you in the NBA."
Now that Oakley has taken the initiative to admit defeat and express his goodwill, there still needs to be some business exchanges.
Although Oakley had provoked him many times before, it was under circumstances where both parties were unfamiliar with him.
If he could be friends with Oakley, he would be extremely happy.
Although Oakley has a fiery personality and is notorious on the court, he is also considered a magnanimous person. Especially although he has a bad reputation on the court, most of the violent conflicts he causes on the court are caused by standing up for his teammates.
Therefore, Oakley, who is seen as a villain by other teams, is a qualified big brother to the players of his own team. Whenever his teammates suffer a little loss, this guy really dares to step in!
Since Wang Feng wants to play in the NBA in the 1990s, he must show up as the leader and lead the team to win like Jordan did.
Wang Feng is very aware of the severe beatings Gang Leader Qiao suffered in the alliance in the early stages of his career.
In the early days of the Pistons Bad Boys, the Pistons head coach publicly lectured his players: When defending Jordan, I want to see blood.
At that time, it was Oakley who helped Jordan get ahead.
No matter what outrageous defensive moves Jordan made in the Pistons, Oakley would immediately respond without hesitation, even if he was sent off or fined.
At this time, Wang Feng was thinking that when he emerged in the league, how could he be accompanied by a gold-medal thug and bodyguard like Oakley?
Off the court, John Starks approached Ewing and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Patrick... do you think we have this kid, is it possible to win the championship this year?"
"It's possible! It's very possible!" Ewing said without thinking: "In last year's finals, if we had him, we would definitely have beaten those guys in Texas!"
In last year's finals, the Knicks lost to the Rockets, and Ewing was beaten by Olajuwon, who was also one of the top four centers. Even looking back now, I still feel very unhappy.
Now that they have airborne reinforcements, it's time to take revenge on those guys!
