Wang Feng's level of trash talk is actually not very high. Instead of forcing opponents to fight, he prefers to use practical actions to defeat his opponents. No matter how powerful his words are, it means nothing if he can't beat him on the court.
But the self-confidence derived from his strength made Wang Feng's trash talk and ridicule full of intensity.
When Miller heard this, his nose almost became angry.
Where did this stupid young man come from? He is just a nobody, and his tone is too loud!
What does it mean to score 50+ points in just one game?
Is it difficult to score 20+ points? What a joke!
Ewing was happy when he heard Wang Feng's words.
"Reggie, it seems your reputation can't impress even a newcomer who just joined the alliance."
Miller couldn't hold himself any longer, and he glared at Wang Feng with a sullen face.
"Rookie, you will pay for your words!"
…
After the timeout, the Knicks attacked.
"Why did Wang Feng get up against Miller? The opponent was an All-Star guard. In the entire Eastern Conference, only Jordan could stabilize him. This is Wang Feng's second NBA game."
On the sidelines, Director Zhang looked a little worried as he watched this scene.
Director Su, who is next to Director Zhang, holds slightly different opinions.
"Do you feel that Reggie Miller in this game is much inferior to Wang Feng's previous performance? Maybe Wang Feng and Miller can still have the upper hand in the matchup."
"How is that possible?" Director Zhang shook his head and sighed: "Wang Feng's opponents in the last game were only the bench rotation players of the Timberwolves, but at this time they were all the main players of the Pacers. The pressure on the defensive end is completely different.
, even if Wang Feng can continue his fiery touch from the last game..."
Before Director Zhang finished speaking, thunderous cheers suddenly sounded on the court.
The two of them were stunned for a moment and looked towards the court, just in time to see the referee's raised three-point signal, as well as the Knicks' changing score on the scorer.
"Wang Feng seemed to have made a three-pointer in front of Miller just now." Director Su didn't pay attention just now. Everything happened so suddenly. It was obvious that the Knicks players had just arrived in the frontcourt and were still there.
Why did Wang Feng take action before he could get into position and start running tactics?
From a tactical perspective, Wang Feng's shooting was very irregular and did not even give the Knicks' inside players a chance to enter the penalty area and grab rebounds. Once the ball was not made, the rebound was almost given to the Pacers in vain.
But if the ball goes in, it’s a good goal!
Riley frowned slightly on the sidelines, but soon relaxed.
Wang Feng's style of play, which did not consider teamwork at all, made Riley, who has always put the team first, a little dissatisfied. However, Wang Feng faced Reggie Miller on the offensive end without fear or even confidence in his shots.
A good sign, it shows that Wang Feng has a big heart.
All great players need this kind of fearless heart. When the game reaches a critical moment, it is really easy for the huge pressure to crush a person.
On the court, Miller was a little confused.
What just happened?
After carefully recalling it, after the Knicks guard Starks dribbled the ball past half court, he seemed to want to pass the basketball to find a gap, so he passed the ball to Wang Feng, who was still some distance from the three-point line.
It was precisely because Wang Feng was standing far away from the three-point line that Miller was not on guard. When Wang Feng caught the ball and suddenly pulled out his hand, he didn't even have time to react and raised his hand to interfere a little. He just watched helplessly.
Wang Feng made a shot.
"This guy's three-pointer is pretty accurate!"
Miller's eyes narrowed, his expression a little serious.
An expert will know if it is there as soon as he takes action.
As one of the top shooters in the history of the league, Miller has extremely rich experience. Just by looking at Wang Feng's smooth and crisp shooting movements, he immediately realized that Wang Feng is definitely a very good shooter.
This set of pull-up shooting movements has been refined over time. Looking at the entire league, Miller cannot find a few shooters who shoot more beautifully than Wang Feng.
"I see. No wonder this guy can appear on the NBA stage. His shooting alone is enough for him to be proud of. But... this is not your capital to provoke me!"
The ball was transferred, and Miller quickly got the ball from his teammates.
Wang Feng stood in front of Miller, looking at him calmly.
From the look in Miller's eyes, he could see that the opponent wanted to fight back, and there was a high probability that it would also be a three-pointer.
This is exactly what Wang Feng wants to see.
According to the historical star lineup menu that 2K always likes to display in the past, Reggie Miller's ability value usually remains around 88, and has never even reached 90.
Looking at Miller's statistics and honors throughout his career, this rating is relatively reasonable, at least Wang Feng agrees with it.
Miller's shooting is indeed very strong, and he is worthy of being called the greatest three-point shooter before Ray Allen and Curry.
But a player's strength cannot be solely based on shooting.
His shortcomings are too obvious. As a tall guard of 2.01 meters, Miller's rebounding and assisting abilities are not strong enough, and his defensive ability is far less powerful than his mouth.
As a scorer, Miller has never averaged more than 25 points per game in a season in his career. The only thing that can support Miller's reputation is a few critical moments.
Because of this, 2K will give an overall ability score of 88. This score is definitely not high, especially for a historical star player.
The overall ability value rating of 88 is even greater than that of Wang Feng, a monster with a numerical value of 99.
At this moment, Miller, who was holding the ball in a triple-threat pose, felt his heart sink slightly.
This guy...
Wang Feng's defensive positioning can be said to be just right and watertight. Although Miller is not a defensive expert, as the top shooting guard in the East, he has faced countless top defensive players.
Just standing there, the defensive pressure brought by Wang Feng hit him.
At this moment, multiple offensive methods flashed through Miller's mind, but he rejected them all because with the distance between Wang Feng and him, these attacks would be followed immediately.
This situation made Miller subconsciously want to call for a pick-and-roll screen, but he immediately suppressed this idea.
"Are you kidding? The opponent is just a little-known rookie! When facing him, I have to ask my teammates for help. How can I survive in the league in the future?"
Miller was furious, and at the same time he was ready to attack Wang Feng's defense.
At this moment, Wang Feng seemed to notice Miller's hesitation and spoke.
"What? Are you a little afraid to take action? Sorry, did I put too much pressure on you? Then I will relax a little."
Wang Feng said and actually took two steps back.
Miller's pupils shrank and he glared at Wang Feng.
Arrogant! Too arrogant!
Miller is an All-Star after all, and one of the best shooting guards in the league. How could he endure being provoked like this by an unknown person?
"Boy, I'm going to make you pay the price!"
With an angry shout, Miller immediately jumped up, exactly the same as Wang Feng's previous action.
Wang Feng had been waiting for this moment.
Although he took a small step back to distance himself from Miller, this was also his strategy.
Relying on his super high speed, agility and bounce value, Wang Feng's instant explosive power is extremely strong, which can completely make up for the gap in distance!
The moment Miller took off, Wang Feng took off immediately after Miller.
The gap in jumping ability means that even though Wang Feng takes off from behind, his take-off height is not inferior to Miller's at all.
Miller was shocked. He didn't expect that Wang Feng, who was so far away from him, would come forward in an instant!
"No, if you take action like this, you will definitely be blocked!"
Miller, who keenly judged the risk, made a prompt decision, immediately raised the shooting point, and immediately took the shot decisively.
His judgment was correct. Even if he raised the shooting point and shot early, Wang Feng's fingertips were still dangerously close to touching the basketball.
Seeing Wang Feng's finger pass the basketball, Miller breathed a sigh of relief and sneered at the same time.
"You guys, do you think you can block my shot like this?"
Although he temporarily increased the height and release speed of his shot, Miller is still very confident in his shot. This shot can definitely...
"box--!"
The crisp sound of hammering made Miller's expression change from confident to stunned.
He looked at the missed basketball in disbelief.
"Didn't make the shot?"
When he took the shot just now, Miller felt very good. Logically speaking, the ball should be successful. Why is this?
Of course Miller, who was surprised, didn't know that in Wang Feng's consciousness space, the purple defensive shock badge was already activated and shining brightly.
The effect of the defensive shock badge is to significantly reduce the opponent's shooting percentage when it causes interference. At the same time, the higher the degree of interference, the more significant the effect of reducing the shooting percentage.
Wang Feng's level of interference just now was already very high. In this situation, let alone Miller, even a player as strong as Curry would not be able to make a shot.
"That's it?"
Wang Feng did not forget to kill people at this time.
"Sorry, it seems that the distance I retreated just now is not enough. How about I retreat two more steps later?"
Well, Wang Feng’s comment about trash talk can actually be taken back.
Because following Wang Feng's words, Miller's eyes turned red.
Being provoked like this by a little-known rookie would make everyone blush on the spot.
"Beautiful defense! Wang Feng's defense against Miller was very good!"
Director Zhang's eyes lit up. Wang Feng's defense just now was like a textbook. It perfectly forced Miller to change his shooting posture, which directly caused the shot to miss.
"Why did he suddenly take a half step back just now? And what was he talking to Miller just now?"
"Maybe he told Miller that he is a fan of Miller, right?" Director Su guessed: "Wang Feng's three-point shooting ability is very good. Before playing, his idol was probably a top three-point shooter like Miller."
"Really?" Director Zhang was doubtful, "Why do I feel that Miller's face is a bit unsightly?"
…
Miller's missed rebound was protected by Ewing and then passed to Starks. After receiving the ball, the latter subconsciously looked forward, and then he was surprised to find that Wang Feng had already passed half court.
"This guy moves really fast."
As a defender, Starks couldn't help but be amazed by Wang Feng's speed.
After a slight hesitation, Starks passed the ball to Wang Feng.
Although he has noticed the threat from Wang Feng to his core position on the perimeter, Starks still did not do anything on the court.
On the one hand, he disdains to do this, and on the other hand, Riley on the sidelines is not a vegetarian. He is very sure that if he does anything that is not conducive to the unity of the team, he will never escape Riley's eyes.
Wang Feng, who received Starks' pass, took a few steps forward and was already outside the Pacers' three-point line.
At this time, the only person who had time to stand in front of Wang Feng was Miller, and the other Pacers had no intention of coming to help.
In their view, Wang Feng was just a nobody. Although Miller suffered losses from him twice, it was probably just because he was careless and underestimated the enemy.
With Miller's strength, there is no problem at all in dealing with a nobody.
Miller himself thought so too. He was already red and warm because of Wang Feng's trash talk, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Feng.
"Come on, rookie, let me see what you're capable of!"
Wang Feng smiled slightly, "You want to see it, right? Then I'll let you take a look."
As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated towards Miller's right side.
"So fast!"
Miller's pupils shrank. With the blessing of the first-step master, Wang Feng's breakthrough speed was faster than he imagined, even comparable to Jordan... No, it might even be faster!
He only had time to raise his arms to block Wang Feng's breakthrough route, and at the same time quickly retreated in an attempt to keep up with Wang Feng's speed.
But such action is already too late.
The rules of the league in the 1990s did make it difficult for players who focused on breakthroughs to survive, but this definitely did not include players with extremely strong confrontation capabilities like Wang Feng, James, and Antetokounmpo.
Can you block them by raising your arms? Don't be kidding.
In the future, some people will always say that if James reaches the 1990s, he will be an ordinary player and there is no way he can win so many honors.
But in fact, times are always improving. Rules can change players' playing styles, but they cannot change players' physical fitness.
Modern, more scientific and advanced eating habits and systematic training have made the average physical fitness of players far better than a few decades ago. There is no doubt about this. Of course, some players who are extremely talented and born different must be excluded.
For example, monsters like O'Neal and Chamberlain.
James and Giannis Antetokounmpo are also members of the monsters. As for Wang Feng, because of the system, there are no talent restrictions, and he is even more ferocious than the monsters.
The reason why his strength is only 88 is because it is restricted by the muscle mass of his weight. If he is willing, he can increase his strength from 105 kilograms to about 115 kilograms according to the proportion, and there will be no problem in strengthening his strength to the full value of 99.
It's just that considering the 113-kg body shape of James, it is really not very beautiful. Moreover, the increase in weight and strength will also lead to a decrease in speed, agility, jumping and even shooting ability, which is not worth the gain.
Moreover, the power of 88 is already quite high, enough to make Wang Feng invincible on the front line!
