Chapter 433 Is the Cavaliers really a civilian lineup?

Wang Feng's shot-blocking ability value has been strengthened several times and has now reached 82 points, which is quite high for a striker.

At the same time, Wang Feng also has a blocking-type badge, the Chasing Master. The effect of this badge is that when a player chases and defends an offensive player and prepares to block a shot, it instantly enhances the player's speed and jumping ability.

The level of Wang Feng's badge is not high. When he first got it, it was only the lowest level bronze color. However, after years of training in competitions, the original copper color badge has been strengthened to silver.

This is the only silver badge on Wang Feng's current badge wall. The other low-level badges have evolved to the gold all-star level after completing various exercises and achievement progress in daily competitions.

But don't underestimate the silver badges. All badges will take effect on the field. The only difference is the strength of the effect.

Wang Feng's speed and jumping are among the best in the league.

His speed and agility all reached 94, and his bounce was also 91. After being strengthened with the shot-chasing master badge, he was even more amazingly fast, and his shot-chasing and blocking ability was even better than James!

Irving didn't even notice Wang Feng suddenly burst out of the air. He was caught off guard and his shot was knocked down by a nail board.

Wang Feng just pressed the basketball on the backboard in the air, then grabbed the basketball and landed on the ground, turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

Fast attack!

The Nets, whose foothold was not stable, quickly returned to defense, but only George could barely keep up with Wang Feng.

Not only do the two inside players of the Nets have no advantage in the paint, they also move extremely slowly and cannot help at all in the rapid transition between offense and defense.

Carrying George's defense, Wang Feng took off directly from the free throw line and finished with a powerful tomahawk dunk.

The fans cheered thunderously.

Irving was defeated and was sent to a super hot pot by Wang Feng. This is undoubtedly the most famous scene that Cavaliers fans love to see.

And listening to the gloating laughter of the Cavaliers home fans, Irving became even more unhappy.

In the next few rounds, Irving continued to attack with the ball, hoping to silence the Cavaliers fans by scoring.

But Cavaliers head coach Bickerstaff replaced Gary Payton II at the right time.

Gary Payton II well inherited his father "Glove" Gary Payton's talent on the defensive end. Although the offensive end is not stable, his defensive ability on the outside is very outstanding.

Unlike his father, who was ranked second overall, Gary Payton II's career was not smooth. He participated in the 2016 draft but was not considered an undrafted pick. After that, he bounced around to many teams in the league and could only sit on the bench.

The 2021-22 season is the period of the rise of Gary Payton II. If it were not for Wang Feng, Gary Payton II should have played the best performance of his career with the Golden State Warriors. As an important rotation player for the Warriors,

During the regular season, he averaged 17.6 minutes per game, contributed 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds, and eventually won the championship with the team.

Because of Wang Feng, Gary Payton II was transferred to the Cavaliers, but for him this is a good thing.

In the Warriors, Gary Payton II can only serve as a substitute for Curry and Poole, and his playing time does not even reach 20 minutes.

But it's different with the Cavaliers.

Although he also has to compete with Poole and Seth Curry for playing time, the playing time of the first two is completely incomparable with Curry, and because of his outstanding defensive ability, Gary Payton II can always play at a specific time.

Nodes get opportunities to appear, just like now.

Realizing that Irving had become the focus of the offense, Bickerstaff directly asked Gary Payton II to play defense against Irving.

Gary Payton II, who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms, has a strong body and strong confrontation ability. In the limited playing time, he is very eager to show his value. Naturally, he spares no effort to defend Irving. He actually has the ability.

Beverly feeling.

Even for an offensive master like Irving, his offensive efficiency plummeted under the entanglement of Gary Payton II, and he kept missing shots.

"hateful……"

Watching the team continue to fall into passivity, Durant couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

Why does this happen every time when fighting against Wang Feng?

If it's just Wang Feng, that's it. The problem is that it's like this every time.

Who are these players on the Cavaliers? Poole, Bane, Gary Payton II, and Durant didn’t even know their names before. Why can these guys score points under the team’s defense?

And he looks even more relaxed and calm than he scores?

Why is it that an unknown player who has never even played in a few serious games before can drastically reduce the defensive efficiency of All-Star Kyrie Irving?

Of course, Irving's problem is not just a Gary Payton II. Being blocked by Wang Feng, coupled with the boos from the Cavaliers' home fans, has long made him impatient and lost a lot of patience in offense.

The choices are also relatively reluctant.

If the game had been held at the home court of the Nets in Brooklyn, Irving would have performed much better than he did now.

But it doesn't make sense to say this now.

Durant can only keep scoring and try to keep the score between the two teams as tight as possible.

However, under Wang Feng's offense and organization, the Cavaliers' offense was carried out in an orderly manner, and the score between the two teams began to gradually widen.

In the first quarter, the two teams fought to 31:28, with the Cavaliers leading by 3 points at home. However, following the second quarter, the point difference began to gradually widen. At the end of the half, the score had become 65:55.

The difference reached double digits.

Such a score made the media who paid attention to this focus battle a little dumbfounded.

The Nets, with all their members healthy, would actually behave like this when facing the Cavaliers? What the hell are they doing?

Only Durant, the Big Three of the Nets, maintained normal performance. Irving and George were both in poor condition. Neither of them scored in double figures at the end of the half, and their shooting percentage was less than 40%.

Could it be said that this Cavaliers team, with all marginal role players except Wang Feng, is really that strong?!



The game soon entered the third quarter.

Realizing that he would be doomed if he didn't do something, Durant exploded with force, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, and used his personal ability to bring the point difference back to within 5 points.

But the Nets have Durant, and the Cavaliers also have Wang Feng.

In the Cavaliers' offensive system, Wang Feng occupies an extremely important core position. In other words, the reason why the Cavaliers can be so calm on the offensive end is entirely due to Wang Feng.

Now Wang Feng's playing style is gradually moving towards Green's direction.

It's not that Wang Feng, like Green, is getting better and better as he plays, but that Wang Feng, like Green, often stands at the top of the arc with the ball and waits for his teammates to move and deal the cards online.

The reason why Green is able to play a valuable role in the Warriors is partly because of his excellent defensive ability, but the more important reason is that on the offensive end, Green can be used as the starting point of the offense to hold the ball and organize, covering the splash brothers Curry and Thompson.

The defender moves without the ball.

Although Green's behavior of standing in the top arc and hanging up to deal cards will always arouse ridicule, for the Warriors, this is definitely the tactical system that best suits their lineup.

Wang Feng followed the same example of standing in the top arc position and holding the ball to deal cards, but it was a completely different concept from Green.

The gap between the two in three-point shooting ability is destined to be conceptually different.

When Wang Feng holds the ball and stands at the top of the three-point line, the entire opponent's team will focus on him, not daring to ignore any subtle movement. They are afraid that Wang Feng will take a chance and make a pull-up three-pointer, and they are also worried that Wang Feng will hold the ball.

Breakthrough and hit the basket.

Last season, Wang Feng suddenly averaged 40 points per game in the regular season, which was a pain in the hearts of all the teams in the league. They really didn't dare to let Wang Feng score.

But Wang Feng didn't care about this kind of targeted defense that he attached great importance to, or in other words, he wished it was like this.

Today's Wang Feng is different from before. The playmaker + ten-cent badge allows him to score without relying on himself, or even rely on All-Star teammates to break the situation.

Love, Jordan Poole, Desmond Bane, Seth Curry, Malik Monk and others are all excellent three-point shooters, and their shooting percentages have also increased with the blessing of the badge.

After a month of training, the Cavaliers' tactical coordination has gradually begun to work together, and Wang Feng is playing more and more easily on the court, even more easily than last season when the Lakers lacked Jimmy Butler.

This feeling is a bit like returning to nature in martial arts novels.

When the internal strength reaches a certain level, there is no need for any gorgeous and complicated moves. A simple move can have huge lethality.

Wang Feng's average data per game so far this season is not as good as last season. Although his assists have increased slightly, they are very limited. His scoring average has dropped from 40+ per game to 35+. However, he is playing far more easily than last season.

The playing time remains stable at just over 40 minutes, and there is no need to fight until the last minute of every game.

I have to admit that the two core badges of organizational core and defensive core have a really great effect on strengthening the team.

During the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Feng had already experienced it with the Chinese men's basketball team. Now that his teammates have moved to the NBA level, the effect is even more obvious.

In the Cavaliers team, the current ability values ​​of Jordan Poole, Desmond Bane and Kevin Love are relatively close. Wang Feng estimates that they are all in their early 80s. In my impression, after he updated his ability values ​​in 2K22,

The ability values ​​of the three of them are above 80.

At the same time, with the blessing of the two badges of organizational core and defensive core, the average ability value of the three is close to 85. In terms of ability value alone, they can definitely be regarded as All-Star level players.

In addition to these three players, other players on the Cavaliers, such as Jarrett Allen, Seth Curry, Otto Porter Jr., Malik Monk, Gary Payton II and other players, have mostly high ability values.

They are all between 75-78, and even after strengthening, they can barely reach the tail end of 80!

This is very scary, which means that as long as Wang Feng is on the court, the Cavaliers will have an ability value of 80+ for all members, including the substitutes.

The lineup that seems weak to the outside world actually has extremely exaggerated and terrifying strength!

After all, the Nets they were playing against at this time, in the starting lineup, Durant's ability value was 96, George was 89, and Irving was 91, while everyone else only had an overall rating of around 70.

Blake Griffin's ability value is 76, and LaMarcus Aldridge, who missed this game due to injury, has an overall ability value of 79, which is the highest among the Big Three.

In such a comparison, what else does the Nets have an advantage over the Cavaliers?

For this Cavaliers team carefully built by Wang Feng, the existing problems are actually insufficient integration of the lineup, too many young players, and lack of experience, which may cause certain hidden dangers in the playoffs.

Back to business.

Because of the above reasons, Wang Feng can easily save energy during the game, and sometimes he can even serve as a fixed-point three-point shooter to attract defense outside the three-point line and create a better offensive environment for his teammates.

Therefore, Durant broke out strongly in the third quarter, and Wang Feng immediately responded.

Wang Feng, who has three fatigue badges in hand, is already the best in the league in terms of physical fitness. He can play the entire game without any problem, let alone now?

As soon as Durant scored with a mid-range jumper, Wang Feng immediately countered with a step-back and long three-pointer.

Durant made a pull-up shot from outside the three-point line. Wang Feng immediately broke through with the ball and attacked the basket, causing a foul and scoring 2+1.

Throughout the third quarter, Durant scored 17 points and Wang Feng also scored 15 points, showing no sign of weakness.

Durant, who worked desperately to narrow the point difference to less than 5 points, could only watch in despair as the score returned to double digits before the end of the third quarter, all in vain.

By the fourth quarter of the game, Irving, who was always being loudly "greeted" by the Cavaliers' home fans and performing various Zaun outputs, had completely exploded.

About three minutes into the fourth quarter, Irving hit a three-pointer from outside and then made a provocative gesture towards the fans outside the court as if to vent his anger. He was immediately given a whistle by the referee.

Irving, who was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, immediately argued with the referee, and then was honored to receive another whistle and was directly ejected.

With Irving leaving the game, the Nets began to collapse completely.

Durant had been scoring continuously before, scoring 37 points in three quarters. In the fourth quarter, his physical fitness bottomed out and his efficiency began to decline.

George's touch improved slightly and he began to help Durant share the offensive pressure, but by this time it was too late.

114:107.

The Cavaliers defeated the Nets at home with a 7-point advantage and won this focus game.

As the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Durant immediately left the game with a face on his face and did not accept an interview with reporters.

His personal data finally settled on 44 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
