As Yingodala, Barnes and others began to exert their strength one after another, the Cavaliers' authority soon began to collapse, and the leading point difference was quickly caught up and even overtaken!
As a last resort, Blatt had no choice but to substitute James on the court in advance, but Cole on the Warriors side had been keeping an eye on the Cavaliers' movements. As soon as James came on the court, he immediately replaced him as the main player.
The three main players, Curry, Thompson, and Green, all appeared on the field, and Wang Feng was finally replaced.
"Wang Feng, you did a good job. Be prepared. You will definitely be needed later!"
Cole looked at Wang Feng approvingly and said.
I have to admit that the appearance of Wang Feng is really a big surprise. It has complemented the Cavaliers on both offense and defense.
If it weren't for Wang Feng's 12 points on 4 of 4 three-pointers, the Warriors would still be lagging behind on the court, and their formation would certainly not be as leisurely as they are now.
Wang Feng took the towel handed by his teammate to wipe his sweat, smiled at Cole and nodded.
To be able to rack up statistics on a crucial stage like the finals, he couldn't ask for more!
Although data is not everything in the NBA, sometimes it is actually everything!
At least that's how it seems to Wang Feng.
Brushing statistics may be quite disdainful in the eyes of many players and fans, but it is actually the most effective way to increase personal worth!
Taking a step back and counting the top ten superstars in the history of the league, which one does not have a championship and personal data, and has gained both fame and fortune?
Wang Feng even knew that in a few years, Russell Westbrook, without the obstruction of Durant, would completely let himself go and wildly average triple-doubles per game for three consecutive years, refreshing people's expectations of brushes over and over again. One word of cognition!
Wang Feng said that he would only envy Westbrook for his unlimited ball rights and status in the team, and he could do whatever he wanted.
Brushing data is selfish, do you feel ashamed of it?
That's just pure jealousy!
Wang Feng does not have very lofty ideals, and he has never thought about sacrificing personal interests for the team and the championship.
The reason why he currently plays a 3D role player position in the Warriors is just because of his limited strength. Regardless of whether he can shoot three-pointers accurately, it is all based on the blessing of the Purple Hall of Fame's corner three-point shooter badge. !Aside from catching the ball and shooting three-pointers, he is completely useless on the offensive end!
Now that there is an opportunity to brush up on data, how could he let it go?
If nothing else, being able to score more points in the playoffs will also help him accumulate badge upgrades and activation progress!
You know, basically after the badge reaches silver, if you want to upgrade to gold or above, you need to accumulate data in the playoffs to meet the upgrade conditions.
The most typical example is Wang Feng’s catch-and-shooter badge. If you want to be promoted from silver to gold badge, you need to score 500 points through catch-and-shoot in the playoffs!
This condition is quite difficult.
The Warriors have played a total of 14 games in the playoffs so far. Wang Feng has averaged about 10 points per game, and now he has only scored less than 150 points!
If the finals with the Cavaliers were played in 6 games according to the original historical process, Wang Feng's playoff score this season should be exactly 200 points.
Fortunately, with the Warriors, he could go all the way to the finals. If he were on some weaker teams, even those that couldn't even make the playoffs, Wang Feng could only look at the wall of badges in his mind helplessly. Drooling.
Now every extra point he scores will help him achieve the badge upgrade conditions earlier!
Wang Feng now wishes that a group of people would stand off the court, raising their arms and shouting, "Let him do it! Let him do it!"
…
The main players of the two teams reappeared, and the fierce competition continued. However, James' appearance still failed to prevent the Cavaliers from defeat.
The reason is simple, Curry exploded!
After a poor performance in the first quarter, Curry completely bottomed out in the second quarter! He hit two three-pointers from the outside, plus two layups under the basket. He made all 4 shots in a single quarter! With 100% shooting.
Scored 10 points in the second quarter!
Curry's outburst caught the Cavaliers by surprise, and the point difference was widened directly!
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers were still leading by 10 points, but at the end of the second quarter, the point difference turned into a 7-point lead for the Warriors! The Warriors scored a crazy 38 points in the second quarter!
One minute before the end of the second quarter, Wang Feng was reintroduced and sneakily hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner while Curry's fiery touch attracted most of the Cavaliers' defensive attention.
He made 5 of 5 shots. Before he knew it, Wang Feng had scored 15 points by the end of the half! Even higher than Curry's score!
The Cavaliers were already lagging behind in the first half, and in the second half, the situation became even more unfavorable to the Cavaliers.
There is a serious shortage of substitute players in the rotation, the players are gradually exhausted, and Irving is unable to perform under Wang Feng's full-court coverage. James is the only one in the Cavaliers who can score stably.
At the end of the third quarter, the score difference between the two teams had widened to more than double digits.
"This game... I'm afraid the Cavaliers will be in trouble."
This situation made the commentator of the live game couldn't help but sigh.
Before he finished speaking, Wang Feng rushed out from the side and stole James' pass. The Warriors once again launched a fast break counterattack!
At this time, the Cavaliers had very few players who could quickly return to defense. The Warriors easily formed a situation in the frontcourt where they were more aggressive than others. In the end, the basketball was once again passed to Wang Feng in the corner!
Wang Feng took a deep breath, raised the knife and dropped it!
"brush!"
"Wang Feng's steal three-pointer hit again! This is already his sixth three-pointer in this game! He also hit all five previous shots! He has scored 18 points in this game! Second only to the Warriors
Curry!”
"This is really a heart-breaking goal! To a certain extent, Wang Feng performed better than Curry in this game!"
"Not only that, in this game, under Wang Feng's full coverage, Irving, another core player of the Cavaliers, basically did not perform well. So far, he only scored 13 points on 5 of 16 shots! In addition, Wang Feng also made many steals in the game.
Successfully formed a quick counterattack and helped the Warriors score easily!"
"If I were to choose an MVP for this game, I think I would choose Wang Feng!"
…
In the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Feng didn't play for long, but he still seized the rare opportunity and took three more shots from the outside.
Unfortunately, in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers clearly tightened their defense on Wang Feng, so these three shots were not particularly good. The opponent defended in a timely manner, and barely managed to hit one of the next three shots.
The 100% three-point shooting rate was broken, and Wang Feng's personal score in this game was finally fixed at 21 points.
