Chapter 231 Wang Feng vs Antetokounmpo
On November 5th, the Lakers played against the Grizzlies at home.
In the past few years, the Memphis Grizzlies were undoubtedly a strong team in the league. The combination of black and white, traditional point guard Mike Conley and a number of outstanding role players made this team a perennial contender in the playoffs.
However, this is obviously not the case in the 17-18 season. If nothing happens, the Grizzlies this season will rank third from the bottom in the league with 22 wins and 60 losses.
The reason why the Grizzlies, who won 43 wins last season, performed so poorly in the new season is because, on the one hand, Mike Conley's accidental injury ended the season, and on the other hand, the team's lineup is aging and there is no fresh blood to add.
As a result, the team's strength is not advancing but retreating.
In this game against the Lakers, although Conley has not been injured yet and remains healthy, the Grizzlies are no match for the young and highly impactful Lakers.
Wang Feng scored 34 points in the game, Ingram scored 19 points, and Brook Lopez scored 15 points. The Lakers defeated the Grizzlies 117:102.
After this game, the Lakers had a record of 7 wins and 3 losses in the first 10 games of the regular season. Their record was even the same as that of the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, tied for first place in the Western Conference!
In these ten games, Wang Feng averaged 38.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.6 steals per game. His shooting percentage was as high as 51% and his three-point shooting percentage was 47%. His crazy performance shocked the entire league.
"For the first time in his career, Wang Feng served as the first core member of a team and finally showed his terrifying scoring ability to the entire league. Obviously, whether he is playing next to LeBron or Stephen, Wang Feng's talent and strength are both important.
What a waste, he is fully capable of becoming a top star on par with the first two!"
"Average 38+11 per game! How long has it been since the league has such exaggerated scoring and rebounding performance? The last person who could average such data per game was the young LeBron during the Cavaliers version 1.0! Now Wang Feng is like a shooting enhancement
This version of LeBron has the same sharp breakthrough, but his outside shooting is comparable to Curry. Although Wang Feng does not have the organizational skills of a top point guard like James and can use passing assists to connect the team, his scoring ability alone is enough.
Got it!"
"We all know now that Wang Feng is not talking big words. His two goals really have a chance to be achieved. The only suspense is that at the end of the regular season, where will the Lakers' record be in the Western Conference?
Top half or bottom half, and can Wang Feng’s points per game remain so efficient and productive in subsequent games?”
On November 8, the Lakers once again encountered a strong enemy, playing away against their old rival Boston Celtics. The Green Army suffered a heavy blow in the first game at the beginning of the season. Gordon Hayward, who spent a huge amount of money to sign, was in the game.
He suffered a serious injury during the game and was sidelined for the season.
Hayward, with an annual salary of $29.73 million, is the highest-paid player on the Celtics. His injury immediately turned the Celtics' seemingly perfect lineup into a broken lineup.
However, even so, the Celtics still maintain strong competitiveness. Irving performed well in his first show with the Celtics. He is currently averaging 25.5 points and 5.1 assists in 10 games and shooting 49.1% from the field.
The team's leading scorer.
All the young players on the Lakers struggled in the face of the Celtics' defensive system. Only Wang Feng still efficiently scored 31 points and 14 rebounds with a 50% shooting rate.
107:101, the Lakers lost.
Obviously, the problems faced by the Lakers still exist. The lack of experience and strength of young players will make it particularly difficult for them once they encounter a defense higher than the league average. Wang Feng's stand-up singles style can only guarantee his personal safety.
Scores cannot help teammates become better.
Therefore, the current opponents that the Lakers can defeat are only the weak teams in the league with poor defensive capabilities. If they meet a team with stronger defense, they will most likely lose, unless Wang Feng can score 60+ points in every game, or has other
Players can occasionally use small universes to explode and score high-scoring Wang Feng.
On November 9, the Lakers played back-to-back away games against the Washington Wizards. The Lakers, who won the last game, lost to the Wizards in this game, losing 111:104.
The loss of two games immediately caused the Lakers to fall from the top spot in the Western Conference.
Fortunately, at this time, the Lakers met their opponents in the next game, the Milwaukee Bucks.
The 17-18 season was actually the year of the rise of the Bucks. Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo has further grown, with his data rising from 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists last season to 26.9 points, 10 rebounds, and 4.8 assists.
Like Wang Feng, he chose to gain weight in the summer. His body changed from a thin bamboo pole like Durant to a lot of muscles, and became full of impact. His breakthrough with the ball looked like the young LeBron James. At the same time, 2
His height of 11 meters and long legs make him faster when breaking through!
It can be said that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Wang Feng are the two players who have changed the most on the front line this summer, and they have undoubtedly become stronger than last season.
When the two forwards met directly in the game, people discovered that Wang Feng was indeed stronger.
After gaining weight, Antetokounmpo's weight has reached about 105 kilograms. As expected, he will reach 110 kilograms next season and reach his peak condition.
Although Antetokounmpo weighs about 105 kilograms and is similar to Wang Feng, his strength and ability attributes are only in the early 80s at most, far behind Wang Feng who has a strength of 88!
Even if Antetokounmpo gains weight to 110 kilograms in the future, his strength will be at most the same as Wang Feng now.
This is not surprising. Weight cannot be directly equated with strength. Wang Feng's weight of 105 kilograms can have a strength of up to 88. This is the most extreme level when the system freely allocates points and adds points. It is not something ordinary people can easily achieve.
of.
The simplest example is that there are many sprinters who are exactly the same weight and height as Bolt, the 100-meter flying man. But after receiving the same systematic training as Bolt, can they run as fast as Bolt?
Obviously this is impossible.
After athletes reach a certain height, a small difference in talent may be a huge gap between heaven and earth.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's talent is already at the top level in the history of the NBA. There are very few leagues that can compare with him. But don't compare with Wang Feng, because Wang Feng has gone through system transformation and has already achieved the highest level of ability.
