In this situation, calling a timeout is useless. Even if Kidd calls the rest of the timeout in one breath, it will not be able to stop the Bucks' decline.
The two teams are not on the same level. The reason why the Bucks are in the lead is because the Warriors have physical problems, which affects their tactical execution, feel and defense.
But at this time, relying on Wang Feng to step forward and score consecutive points and defend, the Warriors' morale was at a high level, and the situation was completely different.
Sure enough, after the timeout ended, the Bucks were a little more stable and successfully scored a goal with Monroe's advantage in the paint, but they still couldn't guard against the Warriors' attack.
Not only Wang Feng, Curry and Thompson also began to score one after another.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Warriors successfully completed a comeback. Not only did they regain more than ten points, they even entered the fourth quarter with a 2-point advantage.
Wang Feng was the absolute protagonist of the third quarter, holding the ball against Middleton many times and hitting 6 goals in 8 shots in a single quarter, scoring 13 points and 2 steals.
Middleton's defense actually didn't have much of a problem, and he always followed the tactic of strictly guarding against three-pointers. However, Wang Feng made 5 shots inside the three-point line and scored 10 points, leaving him helpless.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the shooting percentages of both teams began to decline significantly, but the Warriors' rich experience still allowed the team to have the last laugh.
Although Curry only made 2 of 5 shots in the fourth quarter, he made 6 free throws and made all of them, scoring 11 points.
Wang Feng also took a shot in the fourth quarter, but due to a large amount of physical energy consumed in the third quarter, his efficiency also declined. He hit 2 goals in 4 shots and scored 4 points.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wang Feng felt so relieved that his whole body was about to fall apart.
This was really an extremely difficult game. If Wang Feng hadn't stepped forward to overcome the most difficult stage in the third quarter, the game would have been lost.
Panting heavily, Wang Feng put his hands on his hips and looked at the scoreboard above.
110:108, the Warriors narrowly won by 2 points!
"I finally won. It seems that my free allocation points were not wasted!"
In the entire game, Wang Feng made 12 of 20 shots, including consecutive three-pointers and free throws, and scored 28 points, including 13 points in the third quarter, helping the team complete the reversal.
28 points is also the highest score of the Warriors team.
In this game, the Warriors except Wang Feng were not accurate. Thompson only scored 12 points on 4 of 14 shots. Green scored 13 points on 5 of 8 shots. Even Curry only scored 24 points on 8 of 22 shots.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Feng is the biggest contributor to winning the game!
After the game, Bucks head coach Jason Kidd expressed helplessness in the interview.
"My players and I have tried our best. It is obvious that the Warriors are a historically strong team. They have the best players. Even if the seven consecutive goals are on the verge of reaching the limit and the main players feel abnormal, there are still role players who can step forward.
out."
"Wang Feng is a very surprising player. In the playoffs last season, he was just a 3D player. He mainly relied on defense. On the offensive end, he could only shoot three-pointers from outside the corner three-point line. However,
In less than half a year, he has actually developed a stable mid-to-long-range shot and the ability to attack with the ball. This rate of improvement is really amazing."
"Honestly, seeing Wang Feng's shooting made me feel like I was watching Kobe Bryant's game. Chris's defense was very good. Many defenses had completely blocked his sight, but he was still able to throw the basketball into the basket.
, no one can do anything about this kind of attack."
While Kidd praised Wang Feng, he also did not forget to disgust the Warriors.
Wang Feng signed a two-year low-salary contract with the Warriors, which is not a secret in the league.
Wang Feng's contract will expire next summer.
The higher Wang Feng is praised now, the greater the price the Warriors will have to pay to renew Wang Feng's contract. I believe there will definitely be many teams willing to provide Wang Feng with a high-quality contract.
Wang Feng's situation is somewhat different from other players.
If a player is a normal draft pick, the team has priority to match him, and according to league rules, he can also offer him a higher maximum salary contract than other teams, which is the so-called Bird clause.
Wang Feng is different. He only played for the Warriors for two years and cannot trigger the Bird clause. Therefore, the Warriors' offer can only be the same as other teams at best, without an absolute advantage.
The Warriors management also realized this and began to try to communicate with Wang Feng's agent Bill Duffy, hoping to renew Wang Feng's contract in advance.
The Warriors' offer was quite sincere and once made Bill Duffy very excited.
However, when the offer was placed in front of Wang Feng, he refused without hesitation.
Before the new television broadcast contract takes effect, due to salary cap restrictions, the maximum salary the team can provide is only that much.
Obviously Wang Feng will have more choices and earn more money by waiting until next summer, so why must he renew his contract a few months in advance and greatly reduce his income?
Wang Feng and Bill Duffy reached a consensus on this point, so the Warriors management once again returned without success.
…
The unsuccessful contract renewal will not affect Wang Feng's growing tactical status in the team and the team's victory.
After surviving seven consecutive away games, the Warriors are about to have a comfortable five consecutive home games. The most recent one is against the Phoenix Suns on December 16. The Bucks game is on the 12th, with three days in between.
You can rest and regain your strength.
After recharging their energy, the Warriors returned to normal. Facing the Phoenix Suns, who were at the bottom of the league, they were naturally not polite and went about their business, beating the Suns 128:103.
In this game, Clay Thompson felt hot and scored 43 points on 15 of 22 shots. Curry scored 25 points and Wang Feng also scored 18 points.
The Warriors have won 26 games in a row, and the winning streak continues.
On December 18, the Warriors played the Bucks again at home. This time the situation was completely different. The Warriors, who had been beaten at the beginning of the away game a few days ago, faced the Bucks' original team again and were severely beaten.
A breath of bad breath.
The Warriors scored 39 points in the first quarter and defended the Bucks to only 22 points.
In the second quarter, the score between the two teams was 33:24. The Bucks had no resistance. The half was not over yet, and the game had completely lost its suspense.
The Warriors beat the Bucks to win 27 consecutive games!
The 27-game winning streak has tied the Miami Heat's second consecutive winning streak in the history of the 2012-13 season.
The entire alliance was shocked.
No one expected that the Warriors would be so strong in the new season.
One thing to say, although the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers and won the championship last season, not many teams think that the Warriors are really that strong.
