Chapter 480 If you can't defend yourself, just score higher than anyone else!
(I saw some book friends said that Jordan scored 55 points in Madison Square Garden in the fifth game after his comeback. I really didn’t pay attention to it before. I’m sorry. This question is my fault. I didn’t investigate it in advance, so I just thought it was a parallel time and space.
Some details may be different.)
Jordan has really watched a lot of Wang Feng's game videos, and is very aware of Wang Feng's threat from beyond the three-point line, so his defensive position is particularly forward, making it clear that he will not give him a chance to shoot from outside the three-point line.
But in this position, it is a little bit worse to defend and break through with the ball.
Wang Feng was not polite to Jordan, and immediately accelerated suddenly and quickly broke through to Jordan's right side.
Jordan's lateral movement was extremely fast, and he immediately moved in the direction of Wang Feng's breakthrough, trying to stop Wang Feng.
It can be seen that if it is pure speed and agility, Jordan's values should still be higher than Wang Feng.
This is actually not surprising. Wang Feng's speed and agility are both 94. Although this value is not low, it does not reach the full value of 99 after all.
As a shooting guard with a height of 1.98 meters, Jordan's speed also did not reach the full value of 99, but it was infinitely close.
In Wang Feng's impression, except for those Jordan star cards such as Dark Matter, Galaxy, and Diamond from 2K games with exaggerated values, the classic Bulls Jordan's ability value is the same as Wang Feng's, which is also 99 full value, and his
Speed and agility should both be around 97,98.
By the way, among the well-known players that Wang Feng currently knows whose speed and agility are at 99%, only Allen Iverson was at his peak.
Although later John Wall, TJ Ford and others were faster than Iverson in physical tests and games, they were not able to fully utilize their speed advantage like Iverson during the official game.
to the extreme.
Back in the game, Jordan relied on his amazing reactions and lateral speed to barely keep up with half a body in the breakthrough supported by Wang Feng's first step master badge.
If it was a future alliance, even keeping up would be useless. All we could do was watch Wang Feng rush into the basket and complete the attack.
However, the league in the 1990s did not have such a strict penalty system, especially the "andk" rule, which directly allowed defensive players to extend their arms to block offensive players' breakthroughs.
At this time, Jordan stretched out his hand to stop Wang Feng. His movements were a little dirty, and his arm was just above Wang Feng's shoulder, close to his neck.
The old gangster lives up to his reputation, talks dirty trash, and his defensive moves are also dirty.
But this is not surprising. Wang Feng knows what kind of environment Jordan played in when he was young. Facing the villains of the Pistons Bad Boy Legion, Jordan suffered a lot of beatings from society. Under the influence, he learned a few tricks and a half.
This is not surprising at all. Otherwise, why would Jordan, as a perimeter player, be able to win the Best Defensive Player of the Year in an era of such intense defensive confrontations?
But Jordan still made a mistake.
Because the moment he and Wang Feng came into physical contact, an unimaginable force surged in. Jordan was unsteady on his feet and almost was brought down when he staggered.
Wang Feng took this opportunity to immediately get rid of Jordan's entanglement.
Bulls center Perdo immediately stepped forward to cover up the defense, but Wang Feng stopped and took a jump shot just before he rushed forward, and the shot was hit steadily...
"This guy is indeed very powerful... He deserves to be able to compete with Charles on the inside!"
Jordan's eyes were sharp, staring at Wang Feng who started to retreat to defend after hitting the shot.
Although we have already understood Wang Feng's power to a certain extent in the video before, the game video and personal experience are completely two different concepts.
Based on the previous contact, Jordan has learned that he and Wang Feng are not on the same level of strength at all, and should try to avoid direct confrontation with Wang Feng.
In other words...compared to him, Pippen is actually a player more suitable to defend Wang Feng.
But at this time, how could Jordan, who had just returned to the league, shrink back in the face of a rising star?
Just like Wang Feng urgently needs to defeat all kinds of powerful star players to prove his strength, Jordan also needs to prove to the outside world every victory that he can retire.
Two years have not made him weaker, and even the passage of time has made him stronger!
The Bulls attacked, point guard Armstrong dribbled the ball across half court and immediately handed the ball to Jordan.
"Boy, it's my turn, you have to be careful!"
Holding the ball and looking at Wang Feng, Jordan said.
Wang Feng did not respond, all his attention was already highly concentrated at this moment.
There is no doubt that Jordan is the strongest opponent he has faced so far, surpassing James, Durant, Antetokounmpo and Leonard, etc., and is truly a full-level boss with a total ability rating of 99!
"First use Death Coil to entangle Jordan, not giving him a chance to easily break through with the ball, and use his strength advantage to force him to move toward the weak side as much as possible, so that he can only choose to use shooting as an offensive method. In this case, in
With the blessing of the defensive shock badge, he should be able to prevent him from missing shots!"
Wang Feng thought this in his mind, and his body immediately started to move, directly facing Jordan.
"Press defense?"
Jordan narrowed his eyes, made an immediate judgment, and immediately accelerated the breakthrough with the ball.
At this moment, Jordan was frightened by the defensive pressure Wang Feng brought to him.
Wang Feng's defense is very strong, which he can see through the game video.
Good defensive awareness, excellent speed, agility and explosive power, keen sense of interception, and just the right timing to help defend.
With these advantages, Wang Feng is fully qualified to be selected for the best defensive team.
But again, watching the video is different from experiencing it in person.
At this moment, Jordan felt that the defensive pressure Wang Feng brought to him was even stronger than that of Pippen on the same team!
You must know that Pippen is already the best perimeter defender in the entire league besides him!
"This guy!"
Jordan gritted his teeth and knew that he must not be entangled by Wang Feng. He immediately accelerated and wanted to use his speed advantage to get rid of Wang Feng.
However, the purple death coil is not so easy to shake off, and "andk" Wang Feng can also be used. After three months here, he is already familiar with the NBA rules of this era and can apply them skillfully on the court.
superior.
Jordan, who was successfully entangled, could not take advantage of his speed, and his strength was also suppressed by Wang Feng. He had no choice but to keep moving in the direction of his weak side as Wang Feng envisioned...
"We can't continue to be so passive!"
Seeing that he was getting further and further away from the basket, Jordan knew he had to take a shot.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Jordan stopped and pulled back. He made a time difference and successfully opened a slight distance from Wang Feng, and immediately took off to shoot.
This was also what Wang Feng expected.
Wang Feng followed Jordan's footsteps and stopped, then jumped to defend.
But at this time, Wang Feng suddenly discovered that his jumping height was actually not as high as Jordan's.
More importantly, after pausing in the air for a moment, Wang Feng's body began to fall uncontrollably, but Jordan still stayed in the air, leaning back at 45 degrees, as if he was about to fly!
"Oops!"
Wang Feng was shocked and knew he was about to suffer.
In the defense just now, he considered a lot, but ignored one thing, and that was the bounce!
Jordan's nickname is the Flying Man. He has outstanding jumping and airborne abilities that are unique to the NBA.
There is no doubt that his bounce is absolutely 99%!
In Jordan's game highlights, it has appeared more than once that Jordan used his ability to stay in the air longer than other players to easily change hands or pull the stick in the air to trick the defensive players.
Wang Feng's jumping ability is actually quite good. With a jumping ability value of 91, he has rarely encountered opponents in the previous league. Only a few people such as Zion Williamson can compete with him in terms of jumping.
players.
It wasn't until he faced Jordan that Wang Feng realized that the jump gap would have such a big impact on the court.
"Go down, kid..."
Jordan curled his lips slightly before moving the basketball towards the basket.
Just at the moment of taking the shot, Jordan was suddenly startled. He felt that his shooting action, which had gone through countless attempts, seemed a little awkward at that moment.
The basketball flew towards the basket, then hit the basket, jumped twice, and then fell into the basket as if unwillingly.
"?"
After landing, Jordan breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned.
The ball just now almost fell out of the basket.
Although the ball was scored, Jordan knew very well that given his own level, the ball just now should have been a beautiful hollow ball.
"Did that kid put too much defensive pressure on me, causing my movements to become slightly deformed?"
Jordan didn't know the existence of the defensive shock badge, and certainly didn't know the horror of Wang Feng's defensive eyes.
If he hadn't used his bounce and fallback to widen Wang Feng's defensive distance in the previous shot, and even if Wang Feng had blocked half of Jordan's sight with his hand, the ball would never have been scored.
Wang Feng himself knew this, but he had no idea what to do.
The gap in bounce makes it difficult for Wang Feng to achieve high-quality defense as long as Jordan adds a fadeaway when shooting.
This is just like when he played against Durant.
Durant, who has an absolute height advantage, once his hand is in good condition, Wang Feng has nothing to do with the opponent's score. He can only win the game by scoring more points than the opponent.
Jordan's mid-range shot is definitely more stable and accurate than Durant's. With the help of bounce, the interference effect on the shot can reach the same level as Durant, who is over 2.11 meters tall...
Just this goal made Wang Feng realize that it may not be feasible to contain Jordan's offense on the defensive end, unless Wang Feng now increases the bounce to 99, which is the same as Jordan... No, even if it is only raised to 95
The above should also have an intuitive effect.
"In this case, we can only use offense to solve the problem just like we did against Durant... Let's see who has the better scoring ability!"
When it comes to scoring ability, Wang Feng really doesn't agree with anyone.
With 99 three-pointers, 99 mid-range shots, all other offensive abilities above 90, and multiple high-level shooting badges, Wang Feng believes that his scoring power is definitely stronger than Jordan!
After all, if nothing else, at least in terms of three-pointers, Wang Feng will beat Jordan several times.
Of course, these past few seasons are exceptions.
Since the league shortened the three-point line in the seasons from 1995 to 1997, Jordan's three-point shooting percentage and number of attempts have increased rapidly in these seasons. If you want to use the 2K value to calculate, at least in these three seasons
Jordan's three-point ability value is at least 85 or above, which is definitely not too weak.
But even so, it still can't be compared with Wang Feng, who has a full three-point ability value of 99.
Facing Jordan's defense with the ball outside the three-point line, Wang Feng once again broke through with the ball.
Jordan immediately followed Wang Feng's footsteps and tried his best to slow down Wang Feng's breakthrough speed.
However, the moment Wang Feng made physical contact with Jordan, he suddenly stopped, then took a step back and directly exited outside the three-point line, quickly taking off and shooting.
"Ugh!"
The basketball hit the net.
Wang Feng's movements were too fast, and when he made an emergency stop and stepped back, the ball protector inadvertently pushed Jordan. The seemingly inadvertent push was surprisingly powerful, and even made Jordan stagger back two steps.
, so there was no time to step forward to defend.
This is James Harden's favorite step-back shot, and it has long been one of Wang Feng's regular scoring weapons. Due to the restrictions of the rules of this era, Wang Feng is a little worried that if he completely uses Harden's step-back shot, he will be blown away.
Therefore, some improvements were made, and it is slightly worse than Harden in terms of power.
But because Wang Feng’s breakthrough speed and strength with the ball are much stronger than Harden’s, and he also has a golden full-ball
A star-level gap hunter badge. The effect of this badge is to have a higher probability of increasing the distance between you and the defender when performing step-back movements or shooting.
Therefore, when Wang Feng performs this move, no matter how strong a defensive player is, it is difficult for him to form an effective defensive action. The only thing that can restrict Wang Feng is the feel of difficult shooting movements.
…
The fans in the stands looked a little stupid at this moment.
They thought that there might be a wonderful showdown between Jordan and Wang Feng, but no one could have imagined that the offensive battle between the two would be so fierce.
It was obvious that neither side could prevent the other from scoring, but their offensive pace was astonishingly fast.
The entire second half of the first quarter almost turned into a scoring show by Jordan and Wang Feng, with no one else allowed to intervene.
Jordan made 5 of 7 shots and 4 of 4 free throws in the first quarter, scoring 14 points.
Wang Feng showed no sign of weakness and made 6 of 8 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 17 points, which was even 3 points higher than Jordan.
The fans in Chicago were all dumbfounded. Jordan actually lost to others in scoring? And he was still defending his opponent the whole time?
How strong is this Wang Feng!
However, the first quarter of the game was just the beginning.
Neither Wang Feng nor Jordan was convinced by the other. Immediately after entering the second quarter, they took over the ball and started a new round of competition.
