As the Warriors' third scoring point, Wang Feng can afford it even if he is the team's main attacker today. If he doesn't score, the team will still have ways to score.
But James can't afford it.
As the absolute core of the Cavaliers, James' role is not only reflected on the offensive end. On the defensive end, the Cavaliers' defense also needs James' mobility to help defend and consolidate the defense.
Once Wang Feng took him outside the three-point line in the corner, James could only watch other players on the court play, in a semi-on-hook state like Wang Feng.
But in this situation, James cannot leave yet. Wang Feng is even more threatening than Curry from outside the three-point line in the corner. If he rashly gives up his defensive position, once Wang Feng receives a pass from his teammate, there is a high probability that he will
Another three-pointer!
Taking this opportunity, Curry directly used his mobility to break into the basket and hit a floater to score.
After this situation lasted for two rounds, James couldn't stand it anymore and went to guard Green again.
Green's offensive ability is poor. Although he has a certain three-pointer, his threat level is far less than that of outside shooters such as Wang Feng Curry. James can help defend other teammates at any time according to the situation to improve the team's overall defense.
Following Wang Feng, even if Wang Feng can stop scoring, he will relax his defense against others and put the cart before the horse.
Wang Feng is also very straightforward. If you don't guard me, then I will continue to fight.
In the next few minutes, Wang Feng took 4 more shots and hit 2 goals, and his personal score also increased from 41 points to 45 points.
At this time, Wang Feng did not know that the highest scoring record for a Chinese player in the NBA was 41 points, but even if he did not know, he knew that 45 points was definitely not low. Let alone a Chinese player, even in the NBA league, he could
There are very few players who have achieved this score.
"Since we have already scored 45 points! Why not just go all out and score 50 points!"
Wang Feng thought secretly in his heart.
There is a fundamental difference between a 40+ score and a 50+ score!
40+ can be obtained even by some relatively good role players when they are feeling great, but 50+ scores are basically reserved for star players.
For new players, being able to score 50+ points in league games is definitely a huge improvement to their status!
The most typical example is Brandon Jennings, the rookie in the same class as Curry.
Jennings, who was still a rookie at the time, scored 55 points in a single game not long after entering the league, becoming the youngest 50-pointer in league history.
It is worth mentioning that in that game, Jennings faced Curry.
Just one game made Jennings' reputation at the time unparalleled. Although his draft pick was obviously not as good as Curry's, his evaluation was already much higher than that of his opponent.
Of course, times have changed, Curry has already held the MVP and Finals MVP, and has become the league's top star, but Jennings has been displaced and can't even be a starter for a team. This is all a story later.
There is no doubt that Jennings's 55 points almost paved the way for his future career. It's a pity that he failed to live up to his expectations. He has been in the league for many years but still eats the money he earned as a rookie. His personal skills have not improved at all.
His accuracy was terrible, and he tried to rely on breakthroughs as his main offensive method with his height of 1.85 meters. The final result was injuries, a sharp decline in explosive power, and even the breakthroughs he relied on for survival were lost.
Wang Feng is not Jennings and will not follow in his opponent's footsteps, but imitating Jennings and scoring 50+ points can actually bring him benefits!
The Warriors players also discovered that Wang Feng's score was about to exceed the 50-point mark. When they were surprised, the first thing they thought of was how to help Wang Feng score 50 points!
I have to admit that the Warriors team is quite cohesive under the leadership of Curry. The team leader is a selfless player. How many other players will use their minds for intrigues?
The Warriors were attacking. After Curry held the ball for half the court, he immediately raised his hand to direct the tactics. Wang Feng followed the tactics and ran to the corresponding location. As soon as he stood still, the basketball was passed to him.
Wang Feng was slightly startled. He lowered his head and looked at the basketball in his hand. When he raised his head again, he saw that Thompson, an outside player, had already taken the initiative to pull out to provide him with a pick-and-roll screen.
In an instant, Wang Feng understood and understood that his teammates had to play for him and help him score 50 points!
Without hesitation, Wang Feng followed Thompson's pick-and-roll and rushed directly into the paint. He shot his usual mid-range jumper. The Cavaliers failed to defend in time and could only watch as Wang Feng hit the mid-range shot.
"47 points!"
"Wang Feng has already scored 47 points. It seems that Wang Feng is not satisfied with breaking Dayao's NBA scoring record in today's game. He wants to hit 50 points! Now he is only 3 points away!"
The Cavaliers are also beginning to notice the problems that the Warriors are aware of.
But even if they notice it, they can't do anything about it.
It's a small thing for Wang Feng to score 50 points, but it's a big thing for the team to lose the game!
At this time, the Cavaliers were already at a disadvantage due to the Warriors' constant attacks, trailing by 3 points, and there were less than 3 minutes left before the end of the game.
If you defend Wang Feng with all your strength, you can directly crush the opponent to death and not score 50+ points. However, if the defensive center shifts, once Curry and Thompson are given a chance, the game will be lost!
When the Cavaliers attacked, it was James who drove to the basket to attract double teams and then passed to Tristan Thompson, who dunked with both hands and scored.
The score difference is still 3 points, Wang Feng is here again.
"Huh...huh..."
Panting slightly, sweat streaked across Wang Feng's forehead, but he didn't have the time to wipe it off.
90's stamina is not low, but in this game, both his playing time and the number of shots he took were a bit too much, so his stamina is close to bottoming out at this moment.
The next round may be his only chance to break through 50 points.
"We are still 3 points away from 50 points, so we have to shoot a three-pointer!"
Wang Feng thought to himself and looked around the situation on the field again.
The one who was keeping an eye on him at this time was Yinman Shumpert, who came off the bench. He didn't have much playing time, but he was still full of energy at this time.
"My speed has slowed down. I'm afraid it's not possible to simply use speed to get rid of the opponent... In this case!"
Wang Feng gritted his teeth and suddenly ran towards the side of the court.
At this time, Wang Feng was without the ball, but Shumpert dared to let Wang Feng leave? He immediately quickened his pace to keep up with the opponent.
"His speed has slowed down! It seems he is finally tired!"
Shuangbote looked at Wang Feng and thought in his heart.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly came out from one side and stood in front of Shumpert.
No ball screen!
"No! Quickly make up for the defense!"
Shumpert's expression changed greatly, but he still slowed down after all.
As soon as Wang Feng took his position, the basketball was passed to him as if it were coming from nowhere.
Wang Feng, who was catching the ball, glanced at the direction the basketball was coming from and saw it was Green's pass.
Take a deep breath, bend your knees and take off to shoot!
