Wang Feng has just received a gift pack with a set of defensive badges. In terms of defensive ability, he has now reached the highest level in the league! You know, even players who have won the Defensive Player of the Year award might not possess the defensive skills of three gold badges plus one purple badge!
As he watched Stuckey, who was holding the ball and waiting for an opportunity to break through, Wang Feng recalled a golden badge ability he possessed.
Death Coil!
This allows defenders to close out faster and be more effective at challenging or avoiding the ball handler.
This is a perimeter defense skill and is only effective when defending a player who is trying to break through with the ball on the perimeter.
Right now, as Stuckey tried to break through with the ball, it was this golden badge ability that took effect, allowing Wang Feng to react quickly and gain an absolute advantage in the physical confrontation!
In 2K games, many of the best defensive players have this ability, the most famous being Leonard, whose Death Coil level is the highest: purple!
Although Wang Feng's Death Coil badge is only gold, one level lower than Leonard's, even the effect of the gold badge is enough to restrict most players in the league! Even the best All-Star level players cannot easily shake it off! Moreover, Wang Feng is just a role player who is slowly becoming a bench player.
At that moment, Stuckey adjusted his steps, attacked with a test step, and zoomed past Wang Feng's left side like lightning.
Stuckey, putting all his effort into it, was even faster this time than before!
But just as he started, Wang Feng immediately followed him like a shadow!
This time, he didn't face his opponent head-on but simply kept his body close to Stuckey, exerting force subtly and constantly pushing him toward the outer line on the weak side.
"How is this possible?"
Stuckey's eyes widened in disbelief. Did this rookie really follow his movements twice in a row? You know, even Iguodala and Barnes were half a step slower than him!
In shock, Stuckey almost lost his composure. He stopped abruptly and shot a dry jump shot right on the spot.
In such an intense physical confrontation, his movements were distorted. How was it possible for him to make that shot?
Moreover, Wang Feng also has a high-level purple badge that is always effective!
Defensive Disruption!
When a player with this badge interferes with the opponent's shot, as long as interference occurs, the shooting percentage can be significantly reduced.
As the most powerful defensive badge in 2K, Defensive Disruption is a must-have badge for all players. Whether it's a purely defensive player or a player with an offensive style, this badge can significantly improve their defensive ability!
When such a badge reaches the highest level of Hall of Fame purple, the effect is truly exaggerated!
"Clink!"
The sharp sound of metal hitting.
As expected, Stuckey's shot missed, the ball hit the rim and bounced up, landing in the arms of David Lee.
"Nice defense!"
Coach Kerr's eyes lit up.
Wang Feng's defense at that moment was textbook level! It was so perfect that it was hard to find any flaws!
Although the Warriors are now an offense-oriented team, their defense is no slouch either. There are many players with solid defensive skills on the team, like Green, Thompson, Barnes, Bogut, etc.
Particular attention is paid to players with good defensive abilities. After all, it's hard to win all the time relying solely on offense, especially in the more competitive playoffs—defense is very important!
In fact, during the years when the Warriors won championships, even though they played the most beautiful offense in the league, their defense was also top-notch.
"When did this guy develop such defense?"
…
The game continued. The Warriors had the ball. Curry was injured, and the ball was basically concentrated in the hands of Green and Thompson.
Wang Feng was very self-aware. His defensive gift pack had turned him into one of the best defenders in the league, but he was still far behind offensively, so he was used to running to the corner and standing outside the three-point line, looking like a standard 3D player.
Of course, no one cared about what Wang Feng did offensively.
Green held the ball at the top of the arc and passed it to Thompson, who was running off the ball and found an open space.
Without Curry, Thompson was the Warriors' most potent scorer in this game. Up until now, Thompson had scored 30 points. Although his shooting percentage wasn't high, just over 40%, he was the only offensive weapon for the Warriors.
There was no way around it. The other Warriors players had very low scoring efficiency in this game. Green made 1 of 6 shots, Iguodala made 4 of 11 shots, and Harris Barnes, who had replaced Wang Feng, made only 3 of 11 shots.
Thompson received the pass before the defenders could catch up to him, so he immediately took the shot, which went through the net. The score between the two teams was now 87:94, with a 7-point difference!
The Pacers attacked. This time, Hill didn't pass the ball to Stuckey. Instead, he ordered his players to run, pass, and cut to find opportunities.
But the frequent passing gave Wang Feng the chance to take advantage!
Interceptor Badge!
The frequency at which successful passes are interrupted and intercepted has greatly increased!
The Pacers players were still passing the ball, looking for an opportunity, but Wang Feng, who had been waiting for the right moment, suddenly darted from the side, accurately predicted the opponent's passing route, and intercepted the ball directly.
Fast Break!
Wang Feng, who had successfully stolen the ball, didn't hesitate at all and passed the ball directly to Green, who was closer to him. The latter was a little stunned but reacted quickly and surged forward with the ball.
Taken by surprise, the Pacers players didn't manage to get back to defense in time and were easily caught by the Warriors in a 3-on-2 situation in the defensive zone.
Green, holding the ball and facing the chase and defense from the Pacers players, didn't push forward but looked around.
There were two other players on the fast break with him, one of whom was Thompson, who was also closely followed by a Pacers player and didn't have many good opportunities.
But the other one was a bit unexpected!
"Is it really him?"
Looking at Wang Feng, who was quickly running toward the corner of the three-point line, Green was a bit surprised, but without thinking much, he passed the ball directly to Wang Feng, who was completely wide open!
After receiving the pass, Wang Feng took a deep breath, raised his hand calmly, and jumped to shoot. The entire set of movements was done in one smooth motion, naturally!
The basketball was released gently, drawing a perfect arc through the air, and then...
"Swish!"
The sharp sound of the net updating! A clean shot!
"Nice shot!"
Coach Kerr's eyes lit up from the sidelines. As a shooter in his playing days, he had a unique vision and could naturally see how extraordinary Wang Feng's shot was at a glance! In terms of coordination and perfection of the movements, Wang Feng's shot now wasn't even inferior to any of the Splash Brothers, Curry and Thompson!
Kerr knew that Wang Feng had some ability to shoot three-pointers, but how could his level be this high?
"Is this the trick he practiced so much?"
Corner Three-Point Shooter!
Mid-range and long-range shots, or three-pointers made from the baseline, will receive a shooting bonus!
Wang Feng's badge level is also the highest level of Hall of Fame purple!
Even Curry, Thompson, and others, who are the best three-point shooters in the league today, have their corner three-point shooter badge in the game as just gold! Of course, a historic three-point shooter like Curry has much more than just a shooting badge.
Although Wang Feng doesn't remember clearly, it seems that in the realm of corner three-point shooter badges, only a few players in history can have the highest Hall of Fame purple-level badge!
After all, players with purple Hall of Fame badges are all prominent players in the league with extremely high skills!
These players are more skilled at front-facing ball-handling skills, rather than the corner three-pointer, which is a skill mostly required by 3D role players.
Outside shooters like Curry, Thompson, and even legendary retired shooter Ray Allen aren't bad at corner three-pointers, but it's enough for them to train to the gold-level All-Star badge at most. They still focus more on other offensive methods that aren't limited to the corner three-point line.
In terms of shooting skills, Curry has two purple Hall of Fame badges: Elite Shooter and Long-Range Turret! The range of application and effect are much stronger than the corner three-point shooter badge!
