NBA: Top 3-D talents at the start

Chicago is the city where the NBA team Bulls is located. Michael Jordan, the league's strongest star, was born here. However, after Jordan, the Bulls began a journey of decline for many years, although during this period, they also selected the top pick Rose.

, and under the leadership of defensive head coach Tom Thibodeau, he built a team that focused on defense. It briefly led the league in record, and also competed with the Heat's Big Three in the Eastern Conference Finals.

After that, the Bulls disintegrated due to Rose's injury and the rose withered. The following years belonged to the era of Jimmy Butler, but Butler failed to bring the Bulls to too high a height, even with the trio of Butler, Wade and Rondo.

In that season of the Giants, the Bulls only entered the playoffs as the second half of the Eastern Conference and were eliminated in the first round.

After that, there is the story of the Bulls making a deal with the Timberwolves and trading Butler to the Timberwolves.

Therefore, for Butler, his career with the Bulls was not a good experience.

As an unfavorable player who was picked at the end of the first round, Butler played for the Bulls for 6 years. From being worthless to being worth enough to match the maximum salary, Butler was ruthlessly abandoned because of the team's record.

Therefore, after arriving in Chicago, Butler's expression was not particularly good the whole time.

Yes, Butler, who was not selected as an All-Star substitute last season, benefited from the increase in ball rights this season, and his average data per game increased to about 23+5+4, thus successfully outperforming many strong competitors.

He grabbed an All-Star substitute spot and was selected by Wang Feng during the selection process. He will represent the Western Conference All-Stars in the All-Star Game.

The only pity is that Ingram, who also performed well in the new season, was not selected as an All-Star substitute.

But there's nothing we can do about it, just take a look at these players on the bench for the Western Conference All-Stars.

James Harden, Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard, Clay Thompson, Nikola Jokic, Russell Westbrook.

Without exception, these players are all top stars in the league. They are all capable of competing for the All-Star starting position in the Western Conference. Compared with the above players, Ingram is far behind in both strength and position.

There's no way around it. Ingram is in the highly competitive Western Conference. If he's in the Eastern Conference, he might even be selected as an All-Star...

The Lakers only have Wang Feng and Butler selected for the All-Star Game, while the Clippers, Warriors, Bucks and other strong teams in the league are also in the same situation.

The only exception in the league is the Nets, which has the Big Three.

Durant was selected as the starter in the Eastern Conference, while George and Irving were also selected as All-Star substitutes.

It can be seen that the Nets are indeed unique in the league in terms of lineup.

…

On February 14th, the first thing to start is the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

This year’s Rookie Challenge was quite interesting, with three well-known rookies participating: Doncic, Trae Young and Zion Williamson, but in the end it was the little-known Hornets player Michael Jordan who showed off the audience.

Elles Bridges.

Due to preparations for the All-Star Game, Doncic and Trae Young, the two starters in the Eastern and Western Conferences, did not play for too long. As for Fat Tiger, who had just returned from injury, he has been holding back and not playing very seriously.

.

The Rookie Challenge was originally the appetizer for the All-Stars, and most viewers didn't look forward to it too much.

On the contrary, the three single-player events that followed one day attracted a lot of people's attention.

Surrounded by strong enemies, can Wang Feng continue to dominate the solo event as he did in previous seasons?

On February 15th.

The United Center in Chicago was packed with cheers and screams.

The first game of the single event is still a skills challenge as usual.

At this moment, the on-site DJ is passionately introducing the participating players.

"The next one is guard Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks, who is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 180 pounds!"

Wang Feng stood on the sidelines, silently watching Trae Young who came on the stage and received cheers from all the fans.

There is no doubt that as a strong point guard, Trae Young will be the strongest opponent in this skills challenge.

Although it is only the second season of his career, Trae Young has already shown strong personal strength. The current average data per game is stable at 29+4+9. The data is quite luxurious. Looking at the entire league, there are only a few players.

Can be compared to this.

This includes another strong opponent in this skills challenge, Luka Doncic of the Mavericks.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Feng was eliminated by Doncic in last year's Skills Challenge. There was also some luck at that time. Wang Feng's open three-pointer was rare and he failed to hit it. Instead, Doncic made a three-pointer.

, eventually eliminated Wang Feng and advanced to the second round.

I don’t know if the league did this intentionally, but in this Skills Challenge, Wang Feng was once again placed in the same group as Doncic in the preliminary round. This can be regarded as enemies.

"Finally, there is our regular player in the Skills Challenge, Wang Feng from the Los Angeles Lakers, who is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 230 pounds!"

Wang Feng walked onto the field and raised his hands to signal to all the fans.

Today's Wang Feng can be regarded as making a comeback after strengthening.

With a passing ability of up to 90, his only weakness in several links of the Skills Challenge has been eliminated. This time he is bound to win, and he must win the Skills Challenge Championship!

…

Soon, the preliminary round of the Skills Challenge began.

Glancing at Dongcic, his opponent in the preliminary round, Wang Feng took a deep breath and started instantly as the whistle sounded!

"So fast!"

As soon as Wang Feng started taking action, many people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Both forwards are over 2 meters tall and have similar weights, but Wang Feng is obviously much faster than Doncic!

As a player who focuses on technique and rhythm, Doncic is not very fast among small forwards.

Looking back at Wang Feng, his previous speed and agility were 93 and 94 respectively. After a long period of competition and training, his speed ability value finally increased a little, and it has now increased to 94, reaching the level of double 94.

The speed and agility of 94 may not be considered the top level among defenders, but it is definitely at a very high level when placed at the forward position.

This allowed Wang Feng to rely on his speed advantage to quickly widen the gap with Doncic in the initial dribbling stage.

Wang Feng led all the way through every link, making no mistakes whether it was mid-range shots, passes or dribbling around obstacles. The whole process was smooth and smooth, and the time difference with Doncic continued to widen.

With the three-pointer from the top arc hitting the net easily, Wang Feng eliminated Doncic with a huge gap, avenging his defeat in the last Skills Challenge.

…

Wang Feng's near-perfect performance was carried out in the next two rounds of competition.

Whether he was facing his fierce rival Trae Young or Siakam, who was the winner among inside players, Wang Feng always gained the lead from the beginning and maintained it until the end of the game.

Without any suspense, or even without any ripples, Wang Feng defeated many opponents and successfully won the Skills Challenge trophy.

"Huh? What happened?"

Until this moment, the audience at the scene was still a little unresponsive.

"Is this a win? Isn't it too easy for Wang Feng to win?"

I originally thought that with strong opponents such as Doncic and Trae Young participating, the competition would be very intense.

No one expected that Wang Feng would win so easily, and whether he faced Doncic or Trae Young, he won with a considerable lead, and there was no feeling of excitement in the whole process.

Everyone can't understand it, but this is a natural result.

In the new season, Wang Feng has almost no shortcomings in terms of skills. As long as he performs normally, he will have few opponents in the league.

"Ding - Congratulations to player Wang Feng, who won the 2020 All-Star Skills Challenge Championship and will be rewarded with +1 ball control ability."

Listening to the sound of the system in his consciousness, Wang Feng smiled with satisfaction.

Ball control ability +1, this is the ability he wants.

Wang Feng's previous ball control ability was 91 points, and after +1 it was 92 points. For an ability value like this that cannot be enhanced with freely allocated points, it is very difficult to improve every point. It is really great!

Both the process and the result of the skills challenge left fans a little dissatisfied, as they did not see the fierce confrontation they wanted at all.

But after a short rest, a more interesting confrontation came.

All-Star Three-Point Contest.

In this three-point contest, the participating players are an all-star lineup.

Participants include Wang Feng, who has dominated the three-point contest for many years.

The Warriors' splash brothers Curry and Thompson, the Rockets' Eric Gordon, the Suns' Devin Booker and many other players.

Including Curry Thompson, they are actually considered challengers. All participating players hope to defeat Wang Feng and end his monopoly on the three-point contest.

But Wang Feng was quite disdainful of this.

He wanted to say something to Curry and others, "Are you all here to compete for second place?"

But he had already used this famous saying in the last three-point contest, so it doesn't make much sense to repeat it again.

After thinking about it, Wang Feng came up with a statement that was more mocking and more hateful.

Just do it when you think of it. Wang Feng immediately smiled and said to the team members beside him: "Just wait for a while and I will give you a colored ball, otherwise it will be too unchallenging."

Let me give you a colored ball, otherwise there will be no challenge?

All the participating players looked at Wang Feng dumbfounded and couldn't believe their ears.

How crazy!

Even Curry and Thompson, who have a good relationship with Wang Feng, couldn't help but feel their eyes darken, and their noses were almost crooked with anger.

"Who do you think you're looking down on? Who needs you to give in to?"

Isn't this guy Wang Feng too in need of a beating? Are these human words? You don't really think you are invincible, do you?
