Chapter 481: The Juggernaut Starts to Suppress Jordan!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Feng and Jordan still maintained an extremely efficient scoring efficiency. Wang Feng was always slightly ahead of Jordan in scoring because he had more shots from outside the three-point line, but the lead was very limited, because in
Jordan, who suffered a lot in the first quarter, has begun to consciously guard against Wang Feng's three-pointers, even if he does not hesitate to expose flaws to let Wang Feng conflict with the inside.
It's impossible to prevent him anyway, so it's better to let Wang Feng score two points than three points.
Moreover, Wang Feng, who breaks into the paint, also has to face the pressure of the Bulls' inside defense.
This strategy successfully allowed Wang Feng's score in the second quarter to start to change towards two points.
At the same time, Jordan's offense is indeed very difficult. In order to limit Jordan's breakthroughs as much as possible, Wang Feng already received two fouls in the first quarter, which also made him somewhat unable to perform on the defensive end.
He couldn't guard Jordan in the first place, and now he doesn't even dare to make bigger defensive moves, causing Jordan's offensive efficiency to become even higher.
One minus and one plus, at the beginning of the second quarter, Jordan was even slightly better in scoring.
However, this situation did not last long.
At 4 minutes and 34 seconds into the second quarter, in Wang Feng's consciousness space, the accumulation progress of the dominance bar has reached the full value!
The efficient offense and defense allowed Wang Feng to accumulate the dominance bar much faster than usual.
Wang Feng has tested the effect of turning on dominance before, and has a general understanding of when enough dominance points can be accumulated.
Usually, if you want to start dominating, it is at the beginning of the third or fourth quarter.
But this game was different. Wang Feng and Jordan almost completely occupied the ball during this period. A large number of high-quality offense and defense made the dominance bar grow at an alarming rate.
"System! Activate Lock Defender Dominator!"
Along with Wang Feng's thoughts in his heart, the full progress bar in the consciousness space suddenly ignited with flames, brilliant and dazzling!
Somehow, Jordan, who was holding the ball and preparing to attack, suddenly felt something in his heart and had an unpleasant feeling.
He couldn't help but look at Wang Feng in front of him. The strong sense of danger seemed to be constantly warning him not to continue attacking with the ball.
"...Illusion?"
After a slight hesitation, Jordan did not choose to pass the ball.
The contest between the two of them is not over yet. As the number one player in the NBA and the god of basketball, how could he back down first?
Contracting his abdomen and exerting force suddenly, Jordan accelerated to break through to Wang Feng's right side as quickly as possible.
But the next second, Jordan's pupils shrank suddenly.
His eyes flashed as a dark shadow passed by. The next second, the basketball in his hand was out of his control and was poked out by Wang Feng.
"So fast!"
The speed and judgment shown by Wang Feng at this moment were completely different from those before!
This is not over yet.
Wang Feng, who ordered Jordan to dribble, followed with his body and jumped out. He quickly picked up the basketball and rushed towards the Bulls basket.
Counter fast attack!
Jordan reacted quickly and chased after him immediately.
In terms of pure speed and agility, Jordan has absolute confidence. In the previous confrontation, he also noticed that although Wang Feng was also very fast, he was slightly slower than him...
However, Jordan, who was chasing after Wang Feng, found at this moment that no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't catch up with him!
"This guy..."
Jordan was stunned as he watched in shock as Wang Feng soared into the air one step inside the free throw line and ended the fast break with a violent gliding tomahawk dunk.
What is happening?
Jordan certainly had no way of understanding that in the future NBA 2K games would create a domination mode function in order to improve the player's gaming experience. Once the domination mode is activated, the players in the domination mode will be like gods possessing them, and all the values will be greatly improved.
You can also obtain special skills, such as the shooter type will improve the shooting accuracy, the breakthrough player's breakthrough with the ball will be more difficult to prevent, and the defensive player's defensive ability will be perfect.
This is a completely cheating function, with the ability to turn the entire battle situation around in an instant!
And Wang Feng is now in the state of dominating mode. In this state, he is even more powerful than when the key shooter is activated at the end of the fourth quarter.
The Bulls had the ball, and Jordan, who did not believe in evil, once again held the ball and beat Wang Feng in singles. This time he chose a safer post-up singles inside. After receiving the ball, Jordan feinted twice, then turned directly and leaned back, relying on his super jumping and adding
At the backward angle, the previous Wang Feng could not form effective interference at all.
But Wang Feng couldn't do it before, but it's different now.
Jordan, who had just turned over and leaned back to make a shooting posture, immediately saw Wang Feng jump up in pursuit, and at the same time stretched out his hand, his palm almost completely blocking his shooting sight.
At this time, Jordan had an arrow on the string and had to take action, so he had no choice but to take action.
"What happened to this guy all of a sudden? But fortunately, I have already practiced this position to the point where I can hit even with my eyes closed..."
"哐——"
The sound of the shot hitting the iron made Jordan's face completely darken.
Missed?
The locked defender's dominance skill has many effects after being activated, including strengthening the ability to steal the ball, neutralizing the opponent's dominance skills and the ability to interfere with shooting.
The last ability to interfere with shooting can also be superimposed with the defensive shock badge, resulting in an extremely exaggerated defensive interference effect.
Even a player as strong as Jordan would not be able to easily hit a shot under the effects of so many negative DeBuffs.
Jordan missed a shot, the defensive rebound was grabbed by Ewing, and the basketball soon found its way into Wang Feng's hands.
To see Jordan deflated is a happy thing for the entire Knicks team.
If Wang Feng can really suppress Jordan, then the Knicks will really have great hope of winning the championship this year!
Wang Feng, who was standing at the top of the three-point line, raised his hand to call his teammates for a pick-and-roll screen. Then he took advantage of Charles Smith's pick-and-roll to block Jordan's gap and shot a three-pointer directly from outside the three-point line.
Wang Feng activates the skill of locking down defenders and dominating, which greatly strengthens his defensive ability. On the offensive end, except for the increased speed, agility, bounce, etc., which can slightly improve the breakthrough power, there is no particularly obvious increase.
In this case, Wang Feng didn't want to be pretentious with Jordan and waste precious dominance time on the offensive end, so he decisively called his teammates to cover...
Why are the future Wang Feng and Curry so lethal from beyond the three-point line?
Obviously the whole league knows that they cannot easily prevent them from shooting three-pointers, but even so, the number of three-pointers made by the two of them every season still ranks first in the league, and their shooting percentages are also terrifyingly high?
Their excellent three-point long-range shooting ability is of course a key factor, but more importantly, it is not difficult to create a three-point shooting space.
Like Wang Feng and Curry, their three-point shooting range has long been exaggerated to one meter beyond the three-point line, and their shooting speed is as fast as lightning. The slight gap created by their teammates' pick-and-roll screens is enough for them to take three-pointers calmly.
.
At this moment, this is what happened in front of Jordan.
The moment Charles Smith blocked Jordan, Wang Feng immediately stood half a step behind Smith and took off to shoot.
Bulls power forward Kukic, who followed Charles Smith, tried to cover up the defense but it was too late.
"Whoa!"
Another three-pointer!
While Wang Feng defended Jordan's two attacks in a row, he also scored two goals and scored 5 points in a row.
The score, which had been rising steadily, was given the lead by the Knicks in the blink of an eye.
On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson frowned.
He never expected that in the personal ability competition between Jordan and Wang Feng, Jordan would actually be at a disadvantage.
But... Wang Feng can call his teammates for help, and Jordan can do the same.
Previously, the two had been competing in terms of personal ability, mostly dueling with the ball.
But the situation is different now. Wang Feng's defensive intensity suddenly increased, and he also actively called his teammates for pick-and-roll screens on the offensive end.
If that's the case, then let's just let the fight go.
In the Bulls, or in Phil Jackson's triangle tactical system, Jordan has never been the initiator of the tactics, but the final end point.
The Bulls attacked, and the ball was handed over to Pippen for the first time in a long time.
Seeing this scene, Wang Feng roughly guessed what the Bulls wanted to do.
He really doesn't know much about triangle tactics, because when he joined the league, the NBA had already begun to have the prototype of small ball tactics.
As a standard positional warfare tactic, the triangle tactic has a relatively slow overall rhythm and is not suitable for the faster game rhythm in the small ball era.
More importantly, if the triangle tactic is to be truly powerful, it must have a superstar with top offensive capabilities and a player who can assist with the ball.
Pippen during the Bulls era and Gasol during the Lakers era are both players who are more suitable for triangle tactics.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. Wang Feng just needs to know the key to this tactic.
Pippen was more important than Jordan in this tactic, but it was Jordan's superb offensive efficiency that really improved the power of the triangle tactic.
"What? You've only suffered twice, and you don't dare to continue beating me alone?"
Wang Feng approached Jordan and said provocatively.
Jordan frowned and glanced at Wang Feng with some displeasure.
There is a saying, Wang Feng was the one who took the lead. After all, when he was attacking just now, Wang Feng shamelessly asked his teammates to help him pick and roll.
But after all, Jordan is recognized as the God of Basketball. When faced with a newcomer who has just joined the league and is being ridiculed like this, he is naturally very unhappy. Even if this newcomer is 30 years old, his strength is terrifying and is almost as good as him, but Jordan
I still think this is a shame...
"Boy, don't just talk a lot. If you have the ability, just keep trying and don't let me score!"
After coldly throwing away these words, Jordan ran directly towards the inside direction, quickly stood up and turned his back to ask for the ball.
Pippen immediately passed the ball to Jordan.
After receiving the ball, Jordan immediately leaned back and jumped out, completing the entire action in one go.
Unlike the previous time when Jordan held the ball in isolation against Wang Feng, with Pippen's passing help, Jordan was much more relaxed and calm whether he was positioning or turning around to shoot.
Moreover, the tactical movement of other teammates in conjunction with the triangle offense also successfully caused the Knicks' defensive focus to shift.
However, this rare offensive opportunity still had no effect, because Wang Feng was still in a state where the dominance mode was activated at this time!
Wang Feng, who took off right after Jordan, once again successfully defended Jordan's shot.
The Knicks protected the defensive rebound and immediately passed the ball to Wang Feng for a quick defensive counterattack.
Wang Feng, who quickly broke through with the ball, caused a defensive foul on Pippen, who was assisting in defense, and made 2 of 2 free throws.
In just one minute, the Knicks beat the Bulls 7:0.
Zen Master finally called a timeout. Everyone could see that during this period, Wang Feng suppressed Jordan on both offense and defense.
"Michael."
As soon as he got off the field, Jackson immediately said to Jordan: "The Chinese player is in great shape now. Don't be obsessed with competing with him for a while. Next, try to avoid a direct confrontation with him and give the ball to Scott."
Let's take care of it, our goal is to win."
Jordan remained silent with a sullen face.
He was very dissatisfied with Phil Jackson's decision. He didn't think he was worse than anyone else in the league. Even if he retired and didn't play for two years, he was still the strongest basketball god in the league, Michael.
Jordan!
However, his father passed away unexpectedly, and the two years he retired to play professional baseball caused Jordan's character to change a lot. He knew very well that everyone was waiting to see his jokes this time he returned. If he could not lead the Bulls to achieve success,
If he wins every game, his comeback will really become the most shameful decision in his career.
Facts have proved that Jackson's judgment was correct.
If Jordan continues to insist on dueling with Wang Feng, he will continue to be suppressed by the dominance mode, causing the Bulls' offense to completely collapse.
But he took the initiative to retreat, but the remaining time after Wang Feng's dominance mode was activated was wasted!
Locking the defender is a single-defense dominance mode. The main effects are all reflected in one-on-one single defense. Once the dominance mode is turned on, it cannot be turned off in advance until the accumulated dominance value is completely exhausted.
Therefore, players from both teams returned to the field after the timeout.
After the Bulls began to attack with Pippen as the main force, Wang Feng was a little dumbfounded.
"What the fuck..."
Watching Pippen organize the offense and Jordan leading him around the court, Wang Feng was speechless for a while.
Because he was too strong on the defensive end, it directly caused Jordan to temporarily avoid the edge.
Obviously, the Bulls missed the mark.
After another two minutes, Wang Feng's dominance value was completely exhausted and he exited the dominance mode.
Of course, Jordan and the Bulls did not notice any abnormalities, but under Pippen's organization, the Bulls' offense began to return to normal, and the scores of the two teams began to rise alternately.
Not long after, the second quarter of the game was over.
At the end of halftime, the players from both teams returned to the locker rooms to rest, while the fans in the stands could not calm down for a long time while watching the cheerleaders dance enthusiastically on the court.
What did they just see?
The once invincible basketball god actually lost the game in the second quarter?
That's right, we lost.
At least judging from the second quarter of the game, that’s the case!
