NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 381 Winning the Western Conference finals, the final against the Bucks

Wang Feng's performance in this game is average, scoring 27 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. The offensive end is lower than the average in the past, but the defensive end is full of gains.

In this game, Wang Feng had 4 steals and 3 blocks, and he dominated the game with defense.

The score of 2:0 is definitely the Lakers' favorite. This means that the Lakers have an absolute advantage in the Western Conference Finals. In the next two away games, no matter which one it is, as long as they can win one of them Victory, turning the score into 3:1, can basically guarantee victory.

However, the Clippers are not soft after all.

For the next two games, it was my turn to sit at home. Although it was still the Staples Center, the logo on the floor had changed, and the T-shirts of the fans had changed from golden yellow to white for the Clippers. With the fans cheering for their home team.

享受到气势加成和主场哨的快船队如有神助，连着两场比赛分别以119:112和121:119拿下比赛，一举将总比分扳平至2:2平。

In this situation, Wang Feng was quite helpless.

James + Leonard does have such dominance.

In these two games, both of them averaged 30+ points per game. At the same time, other players in the Clippers team performed very well. Like Erchun, he grabbed a full 3 offensive rebounds in the G7 game, forcing the Lakers to replace Howard to strengthen the rebound defense.

Wang Feng tried his best in these two games. The reason why the scores in the two games were relatively close was the result of his crazy pursuit of points after activating the key shooter in the last 2 minutes.

But Wang Feng can score, and James and Leonard can also score at the last moment. With a point difference of more than 10 points between the two teams, it is still too difficult to make a comeback in the last 2 minutes.

Especially James, an old fritter, in the last 2 minutes, every time he delays his offensive round until the last second before making a shot. If you have the ability, you can use foul tactics. If you score two stable free throws, you can give time It doesn't matter.

While the Clippers players performed well overall, the Lakers players' performance in these two games was a bit sluggish.

After Leonard's rise in G2, it seems that he has entered the big move again. In G3, he scored 12 points on 5 of 14 shots. In G4, he scored 26 points, but the Lakers only had Wang Feng and Butler And the three of Kuzma scored in double figures, and the rest of the players, including Ingram, who has been regarded as the team's third master, did not score in double figures.

The loss of the two games caused the Lakers' original good form to become a little dangerous in an instant.

With a total score of 2:2, the two teams have returned to the same starting point, and it is possible for either side to win in the end.

In the next extremely important Tianwangshan battle, it was the turn of the Lakers to sit at home.

On the west side, there will be a fierce battle of Tianwangshan, but on the east side, the Bucks have taken the lead in winning the match point 3:1.

Without Irving, the Nets are indeed no match for the Bucks.

The combination of Antetokounmpo + Middleton can barely tie with Durant + George, but when you look at other players in the team, the gap in strength between the two teams is instantly revealed.

Although because of Wang Feng, the Bucks' lineup lacked the main center Brook Lopez compared to another time and space, but players such as Bledsoe, George Hill, Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver You and other high-quality role players are in the lineup.

On the other hand, on the Nets side, only Dinwiddie can make a move. After all, last summer in order to trade for George to form the Big Three, the Nets stud almost all valuable players in the team. Except for the top three Big Three, the Nets have a very limited lineup.

Therefore, even if Durant and Antetokounmpo can score an average of 39 points per game, they are suppressed but unable to recover.

The score of 3:1 basically declares that it will be difficult for the Nets to stand out in the Eastern Conference Finals and enter the finals, unless Irving returns to the team quickly to play and let the Nets return to the Big Three configuration, but that is impossible of.

In the G5 game of the Eastern Conference finals, Durant and George broke out in a small universe, scoring 44 points and 37 points respectively, leading the Nets to win the game and chasing the score to 3:2. Unfortunately, this is the final swan song. In the following G6 game, the Bucks took the Nets away in a clean wave, took the lead in advancing to the finals, and became the last team to break out from the East.

On the west side, the battle situation has been very anxious.

The Lakers successfully won the game at Tianwangshan in G5 with 112:107, and the total score came to 3:2, but the Clippers were not reconciled to such a failure. After returning to their home court in G6, they won the game again with difficulty and evened the score To 3:3 tie.

In this way, the Western Conference Finals dragged into the tiebreaker.

This can be regarded as the most difficult round of playoffs for the Lakers since Butler joined last season. Even the five-star Warriors in the Western Conference Finals last year was not so difficult, because the Warriors were plagued by injuries at that time, and Durant was injured. Retired, Cousins ​​was reimbursed for the season, and Curry and Thompson were not in particularly good condition.

In the finals, Wang Feng faced the Raptors led by Leonard's single core. Although the Raptors' overall strength is extremely strong, and there are also all-star guards like Lowry, Leonard is the only core top player.

The current Clippers are different, not only has Leonard, but also James who is still at the tail of his peak, the combat effectiveness is really strong, especially at the critical moment, two top superstars take turns to play, the stability is really great very strong.

The tiebreaker was another fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

Even Wang Feng felt a strong crisis and pressure, and this kind of pressure aroused his fighting power even more.

In the G7 tiebreaker, from the first quarter, Wang Feng showed a strong desire to score.

Facing Leonard's defense, in the first quarter alone, he made 11 of 6 shots, 7 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

In the second quarter, Wang Feng's feeling was not affected in any way, and he scored 15 points again.

Wang Feng, who scored 32 points in the half, put tremendous pressure on the opponent, forcing the Clippers to strengthen their defense against Wang Feng, and even took the risk of using double-team tactics.

As an offensive player, Wang Feng's scoring explosiveness is really rare in the league. He can even compete with Jordan. Let him keep scoring like this, and he can really defeat an entire team by himself. Team's!
In this case, even if Wang Feng is allowed to pass the ball to assist other teammates, the Clippers are unwilling to continue to let Wang Feng score. It may not be as high as Wang Feng's shot under the opponent's defense.

But double-teaming Wang Feng is indeed just drinking poison to quench thirst. The Lakers' offensive point is not only Wang Feng alone. Butler has the ability to lead the ball on his own. Although Ingram is a little younger, his technical style is similar to Durant's. Can attack with the ball.

Therefore, double-teaming tactics cannot solve the existing problems of the Clippers.

At halftime, the Lakers led the Clippers by nearly 60 points 52:8.

In the third quarter of the second half, Wang Feng, who took a lot of shots in the first half, went off to rest. The Clippers took this opportunity to slightly catch up with the point difference, but with Wang Feng's quick re-emergence, the point difference was pulled further. big.

The game quickly entered the fourth quarter, and the Clippers, led by James and Leonard, launched a final counterattack.

But the facts proved that no matter who scored on the Clippers side, Wang Feng could immediately score and shoot back, without giving the Clippers a chance at all.

As the time came to the last 2 minutes, Wang Feng's small universe was activated by the key shooter badge, and the game finally lost its suspense.

……

"squeak--!"

The moment the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the golden ribbon of the Staples Center flew.

Since the last game was the home court of the Lakers, there were too many home fans on the court.

The Lakers' ability to defeat the Clippers led by the top dual-core team naturally made the Lakers fans feel ecstatic and pleasantly surprised.

To be honest, before the start of the regular season this season, most people in the Lakers were very dissatisfied with the team's summer signings.

The team let go of so many outstanding players, but did not make replacements at all. The only one who had some effect was Howard, who was signed to protect the frame.

How far can the Lakers go without their main point guard?I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the Western Conference Finals.

This was the opinion of the vast majority of fans and the sports media at the time.

However, Wang Feng gave everyone a big surprise by switching to point guard in the new season.

Wang Feng is really too fierce. Last season, he averaged only about three assists per game. In the new season, he transformed into a point guard and immediately reached double figures in assists per game, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is far lower than Harden, Westbrook and other assists. Players with a high number but also a high turnover rate.

Achieved a triple-double throughout the regular season, leading the Lakers to enter the playoffs with the league's first record, and then passed all the way until they eliminated the biggest rival in the playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers, and advanced to the finals.

In the eyes of the Lakers fans, this season is really perfect, and now they are only short of the final championship trophy.

The Lakers can eliminate the Clippers, and most people generally think that it is even easier to deal with the Bucks.

Although the regular season record of the Bucks is better than that of the Clippers, it is because the competitiveness of the Eastern Conference is relatively small. The Bucks under Antetokounmpo's single-core state are worse than the Clippers in terms of team strength. up a level.

Whether it is James or Leonard on the Clippers side, they are all top superstars that are completely comparable to Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo. In contrast, Middleton of the Bucks is far behind in terms of level.

The same is true in the predictions of the media. Whether it is the Lakers or the Clippers in the West, if they can reach the Finals and all members remain healthy, there is at least an [-]% chance of winning the championship. The Bucks on the other side The probability of winning is only [-]%.

……

At the end of the game, Leonard went straight to the locker room with a very unhappy expression on his face.

On the other side, James hugged and congratulated the Lakers players one by one, including Wang Feng.

"Congratulations, since you have won against us, you must win the championship trophy."

James said to Wang Feng frankly.

One thing Wang Feng has to admit is that James' EQ is really very high.

Even if the two had some minor conflicts before, the other party was able to express their blessings calmly, without any expression of disbelief or unwillingness.

This may be the character design. Players like James often shape their character design to perfection. Even if it is pretended, people can pretend for a lifetime, and the so-called character design will really become their own personality.

Wang Feng is also very clear that although James said this, he must be very unwilling psychologically. The dual-core lineup is no match for Wang Feng's Lakers. James will definitely put pressure on the Clippers management in the summer and try to trade for the No. The giant configuration continues to challenge the championship.

This is not surprising at all. Anyway, the Clippers still have some good bargaining chips. If they dare to stud, they will definitely be able to form the Big Three configuration.

James currently has only three championships in his career, and the fourth championship he should have won this year has also disappeared because of Wang Feng's arrival and the butterfly effect.

If you want to further improve your historical status, it is necessary for James to continue to win the championship.

Therefore, the confrontation in the Western Conference Finals this season may be just a small test, and this period next year is likely to be the real challenge for Wang Feng and the Lakers.

Of course, the Lakers are not completely without improvement. Butler is as hard as ever, and the further improvement of young players such as Ingram and Kuzma will make the team's strength even higher.

More importantly, every season, Wang Feng's strength will be improved to a higher level. Although he has now undisputedly become the strongest in the league with an overall rating of 98, he can continue to become even better. powerful!

……

The Eastern and Western finals are all over, and the public's attention is also focused on the final stage that attracts the most attention and attention.

Los Angeles Lakers VS Milwaukee Bucks.

Wang Feng VS Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo.

In terms of seniority, Antetokounmpo entered the league a year earlier than Wang Feng, but in terms of age, Antetokounmpo in 94 is 92 years younger than Wang Feng in 2.

The two rose at the same time, and both gained a lot of fans in the league because of their outstanding performance in statistics.

But there is one thing to say, Antetokounmpo has been suppressed by Wang Feng throughout his career.

Wang Feng, who has 4 crowns and 2 MVPs in his hand, has completely surpassed Antetokounmpo in terms of personal honor. At the same time, the statistics of the two in the regular season are obviously more luxurious for Wang Feng, and his contribution to the team's winning is higher.

Even on the stage of the finals, more people think that Wang Feng's Lakers have a better chance of winning the championship. This situation will definitely lead the team to the finals for the first time in his career. Antetokounmpo, who is at a high-spirited age, is very upset.
