Rodman is not convinced by Wang Feng. Like the vast majority of fans, he does not think that Wang Feng's amazing performance last season was really that strong, it was just that he had better luck with the Knicks.
Including Wang Feng's averages of 38, 10, and 11 per game so far this season, it is nothing remarkable in his opinion, because in the Warriors, Wang Feng has absolute possession of the ball and plays for a long time, so he can produce a relatively good number.
It's not impossible.
As a well-known madman in the league, Rodman's idea is very simple. No matter how powerful the outside world is about Wang Feng, he must experience it for himself before he can make his own judgment on Wang Feng's strength.
Therefore, in this game, Rodman is prepared to keep an eye on Wang Feng throughout the game.
Although he mainly plays the inside position, Rodman is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. Although he is the same height as Wang Feng, his weight is even slightly worse than Wang Feng.
Of course, Rodman's strength is absolutely not bad. He has dominated the league for many years, won seven rebounding titles in his career, and averaged 18.7 rebounds per game at his peak. Without enough strength and jumping support, it would be impossible.
.
When it comes to defensive ability, Rodman is definitely stronger than Pippen. It is precisely because of his arrival that the Bulls can show such terrifying dominance this season.
Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman, the league's three top defensive players, have joined forces to create the Bulls' impregnable defensive system. Almost no team in the league can break the Bulls' defense this season.
For Wang Feng, the Bulls' defense is also full of challenges.
Even before the game started, he was sure that the Bulls would defend him tightly in this game, even resorting to a double-team tactic.
In the more than 40 games since the start of the regular season, teams across the league have figured out the Warriors' tactics. How to curb Wang Feng's performance has become a major issue.
But the Bulls are obviously different from other teams. If the Bulls use a double-team tactic, then the two players responsible for the double-team are most likely to be Rodman Pippen or Rodman Jordan.
The two DPOYs teamed up to double-team. Looking at the entire league, only the Bulls have such a configuration.
"Come on, let me see how strong the 72-win Bulls are!"
…
The game is about to start. On the Warriors side and the Bulls side, the players from the two teams came to the center circle to jump the ball.
Garnett relied on his excellent bounce and explosion to easily beat the Bulls with a jump ball. @Blaylock dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed the ball to Wang Feng.
Rodman stepped forward immediately, waving his long arms and covering Wang Feng's body, with a very active defensive attitude.
"Boy, I heard that your three-point accuracy is ridiculous? How about you shoot one and let me see? Do you have the guts?"….
Rodman pressed hard, but he stood very forward, his body almost touching Wang Feng's body, not giving Wang Feng enough space to shoot a three-pointer.
Wang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Rodman.
"If the Bulls let Rodman defend themselves, then the defensive players on Garnett's side will be..."
Wang Feng looked in the direction of Garnett, and sure enough, right next to Garnett was Pippen.
Pippen is 2.03 meters tall, slightly taller than Rodman, and their weight is similar. Therefore, when guarding a big player like Garnett, Pippen, who is obviously faster, has an advantage.
But there is no way to make up for the huge gap in height between the two.
Wang Feng immediately signaled Garnett to come out for a pick-and-roll.
More than 40 games have already created tension between Wang Feng and Garnett.
With just a look, the latter immediately understood and ran towards the outside, blocking Rodman's side.
Wang Feng started instantly and followed the direction of Garnett's pick-and-roll and accelerated toward the inside.
Pippen, who followed Garnett to the outside line, immediately chose to defend Wang Feng. Having played against Wang Feng more than once, he knew very well that with Wang Feng's speed, strength and explosive power, once the opponent speeds up, it will really be a disaster.
Only fouls can stop it.
Wang Feng, who was entangled by Pippen, continued to move toward the weak side of the penalty area, and then threw the basketball directly toward the basket.
"Alley-oop?"
When Pippen saw this, he immediately turned his head and looked towards the basket. What he saw was Garnett, who had already taken off and jumped high, and Rodman, who was following behind him and jumping in vain, but did not even reach the opponent's shoulder.
.
Garnett received a pass from Wang Feng in the air and then slammed the ball into the basket.
"boom--!"
At the Warriors' home court, Garnett's opening dunk immediately aroused cheers and celebrations from the fans.
"..."
On the sidelines, Bulls coach Phil Jackson's eyebrows furrowed.
In just the first round of offense, he could already see Wang Feng's serious attitude and how much he valued the outcome of this game.
Rodman just made a provocation on the court. If it were any other player, he might not be able to help but respond with a three-pointer. Regardless of whether it is scored or not, it is a strong response.
But Wang Feng did not play like this. Instead, he chose to pass the ball to assist his teammates.
This move is undoubtedly intended to warm up teammates through passing assists and drive the team's overall offensive.
If Wang Feng is the only one who can score on the court, the Warriors will be vulnerable to Jackson. Such a Warriors team is no different from the Bulls in Jordan's early stages.
High scoring cannot help the team win.
But if Wang Feng can drive his teammates to improve their scoring efficiency, then the situation will be completely different.
On the field, the game continues.
The Bulls had the ball and the basketball was handed over to Pippen after halftime.
In the Bulls' triangle offense at its peak, Pippen was the core ball-handling and serving point of the tactics, while Jordan was the final link in the tactical system...
Just like this ball, Pippen successfully passed the ball to Jordan who was successfully positioned inside, forming a post-up situation for Jordan. At this time, the defensive player Jordan had his back to was Wang Feng.
Following the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, Wang Feng defended Jordan again.
To put it bluntly, Wang Feng's defense against Jordan was not successful in the playoffs last season. Under his defense, the latter still averaged 30 points per game and maintained a shooting percentage of over 50%.
Although Wang Feng has multiple defensive badges, Death Coil is mainly aimed at attacking with the ball from the outside, and defensive shock is focused on preventing shots. Against the back-up skills of the inside, all he can rely on is his super high defensive attribute value and locking down defenders.
The period of time that takes effect after domination is turned on.
But that was last season and things are different now.
This summer, Wang Feng spent almost all the rewards he received on strengthening Jordan's offense.
In order to keep up with Jordan's super jumping and staying in the air, Wang Feng upgraded and strengthened his jumping to 99. In order to deal with Jordan's back-up skills, he also used his only golden badge reward to exchange for the back-up defense master badge.
This badge is specially used to deal with opponents who are attacking from behind. It can increase the defender's chance of preventing the opponent from attacking from behind, and it can also weaken the effect of all badges that attack from behind.
Wang Feng didn't know if the Jordan in front of him had the badge effect in the system's judgment, but the moment Jordan turned his back to him and received the pass from Pippen, the back-up defense master badge in Wang Feng's consciousness began to shine brightly.
Shining, this is the state where the badge effect has been activated!
Although this badge does not reach the top purple Hall of Fame level, even if it is a gold All-Star level badge, the bonus effect is still quite powerful.
Many of Wang Feng's badges are gold, including marksman, long-range turret, rapid shooter, first step master, and death coil.
Such as important badges, even the Golden All-Star level can still bring him powerful bonuses.
At this moment, Jordan, who had his back turned to Wang Feng, felt pressure inexplicably.
"This guy..."
Jordan tentatively dribbled the ball twice with his back, already starting to murmur in his heart.
The feeling Wang Feng gave him was completely different from that in the playoffs last season. Although neither of them had made the next move yet, Jordan had an inexplicable feeling that no matter what offensive method he chose, it would be very difficult.
Feel.
This is an excellent hunter with a keen sense of smell.
But at this moment, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.
Jordan shook his shoulders rapidly in succession, then turned over directly and decided to use his best and most stable move to end the attack with a fadeaway jumper.
The super jumping ability allowed Jordan to fly into the air while his body was leaning back at 45 degrees, forming an invincible shooting field that was almost impossible to interfere with.
However, at this moment, Jordan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Because in his sight, Wang Feng actually jumped up right after him, and the height of his jump was not inferior to him at all!
"???"
Jordan was shocked. Could Wang Feng jump so high before?….
Soon after, the basketball in Jordan's hand was moved towards the basket, but as soon as he took the shot, he secretly knew something was wrong. Sure enough, the basketball did not enter the basket smoothly, but hit the basket and bounced up.
Garnett jumped high and protected the rebound before Rodman tried to grab the offensive rebound.
Wang Feng and Jordan landed one after another.
Wang Feng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"Still no match?"
Jordan took off first just now. Although Wang Feng jumped immediately after him, and the time difference was not big, he still landed first.
Even though the two jumped from almost the same height, Jordan stayed in the air longer than him.
There is no other way.
The same 99 bounce is also different.
Factors such as weight, body coordination, body fat percentage, core strength, etc. will determine how long a player can stay in the air.
Wang Feng is already quite strong in the air now, and few people in the league can match it, but compared to Jordan, he is still a little behind.
Compared to Wang Feng, who was slightly dissatisfied, Jordan's heart could already be described as horrified.
His eyes were fixed on Wang Feng, and for the first time in so many years in the NBA, he felt that the sky on the court no longer belonged to him!
Although Wang Feng is slightly worse in staying in the air, the difference is only a slight difference, which is almost completely negligible. Moreover, Wang Feng's jumping height is almost the same as him, although part of the reason for this is because Wang Feng himself is higher than him.
Because it is a little higher, but...
The shot just missed was because Jordan was frightened by Wang Feng's bounce, and the effect of the Master Badge on his back took effect.
After landing, Wang Feng did not look at Jordan, nor did he say harsh words. He only made one action, which was to turn his head and run towards the frontcourt.
Fast attack!
This season's Warriors, under the leadership of Wang Feng, have already taken the basic prototype of the small ball era. The fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions seem out of place in this league that is dominated by positional warfare.
However, the small ball system built around Wang Feng's super personal offensive ability is very efficient and surprisingly easy to use. This is one of the reasons why the Warriors, a new team, have been able to make great progress in the league's regular season so far!
Without thinking, Garnett immediately threw the basketball in his hand toward the frontcourt.
Wang Feng received the ball at half court, dribbled behind his back and passed Rodman who was trying to rush to block him. Then he continued to accelerate and sprinted towards the Bulls' basket.
At this time, the only players on the Bulls side who had time to return to defense were Jordan and Pippen. Both of them were quickly retreating to the three-point line. Jordan's pace suddenly stopped.
He knew very well that with Wang Feng's three-point shooting ability, he would never be able to retreat again after retreating here, even now
Wang Feng, who had already fully charged, passed him in one step and could not give the opponent a chance to stop outside the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer.
Faced with Jordan's defense, Wang Feng did not hesitate and chose to continue to accelerate the breakthrough, directly using his speed and strength to directly run over Jordan towards the basket.
At this time, Wang Feng is like LeBron James at his peak. Once he charges forward, there is no way to stop him.
Jordan, who tried to stop Wang Feng, was brutally knocked away, and Pippen was the only one standing under the basket.
Taking two big steps, Wang Feng instantly jumped into the air. The effect of his 99 jumping ability was fully demonstrated at this moment. Pippen followed in vain and tried to block Wang Feng, but the result was that he was mercilessly ridden and dunked by Wang Feng.
"boom!"
The basketball was poured into the basket, and Pippen's body collided with Wang Feng in the air and was knocked directly to the ground.
The whistle sounded immediately. Although Pippen fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, the referee still called for a defensive foul. Wang Feng scored 2-1 and had to add a free throw!
