Compared to his outstanding performance on defense, when the team was on offense, Wang Feng basically stayed in the lower corner and didn't move, remaining stationary.
Wang Feng never thought he would receive the ball on offense. Given his position on the Warriors, he had very few opportunities to touch the ball.
The pass now occurred because he was open during a fast break and was seen by Green. It was just an exception.
But it seemed that because of his excellent defense in the last few minutes, several Warriors players on the court started to take notice of Wang Feng.
When Thompson was attacking with the ball, the Pacers players double-teamed him. He quickly saw Wang Feng standing open at the three-point line in the lower corner, so without thinking, he passed the ball.
Wang Feng was stunned when he received the basketball. The Hall of Fame purple corner three-point shooter badge made him jump and shoot almost instinctively!
The ball went through the net, still clean and empty!
2 out of 2 from three! Before he even realized it, Wang Feng had scored 6 points, tying his highest scoring record since joining the Warriors!
Thanks to Wang Feng's three-pointer, the difference between the two teams was now only 1 point!
Clearly, just minutes ago, the difference between the two teams was more than 10 points! In the blink of an eye, Wang Feng used his strong defense to make the Pacers' offense miss frequently, helping the Warriors catch up on the scoreboard!
"That kid's three-point shot is pretty good..."
Curry, who was sitting on the sidelines, was quite surprised.
During team practices over the weekdays, Wang Feng's main training focus was on his three-point shooting, but his shooting percentage was far from excellent. After entering the game, the defensive pressure from the players and the noise from the crowd significantly increased the shooting difficulty, and his shooting percentage dropped even further.
This was the first time he made 2 out of 2 shots like today.
But what Curry didn't expect was that this was still not the end!
In the following possessions, Wang Feng didn't have any more opportunities to touch the ball, but the Warriors played with significantly improved defensive intensity and successfully turned the game around.
From having a clear advantage to being overtaken, the Pacers players began to become uncontrollably impatient, and their offensive pace significantly increased! But the more this happened, the larger the flaw became!
Under the Golden Interceptor badge, any method of passing the ball required caution! The Pacers players clearly lacked this awareness!
Bang!
Wang Feng seized the opportunity and launched a sudden attack! He completed the interception and stole the ball right from the middle!
"Hurry, get back on defense!"
After the turnover and steal, it's easy to create a situation where there is some space in the offensive zone. Warriors' Thompson ran forward with the ball, scanning his teammates. He then saw Wang Feng running to the three-point line in the lower corner.
Wang Feng's excellent defense and his previous two clean three-pointers had already left a deep impression on Thompson. Seeing that Wang Feng had a good opportunity, he immediately passed him the ball!
After receiving the ball, Wang Feng stopped right at the three-point line in the left corner, jumped, and shot with smooth, natural movement.
Swish!
The Pacers defenders quickly returned to defense, but they still couldn't intervene before Wang Feng took off!
The basketball went through the net again!
3 out of 3 from three! Wang Feng had scored his ninth point in this game!
9 points, not a high score! However, Wang Feng had played for less than 10 minutes in the entire game! His efficiency as a substitute player was truly impressive!
Whistle!
When the game ended, Wang Feng was completely soaked in sweat.
The reporters entering the stadium quickly walked towards Wang Feng, but then passed him by and found Warriors player Klay Thompson.
In the game where star player Curry got injured, Thompson was the team's strongest offensive point and also showcased the strength that the Splash Brothers must have.
In this game, Thompson played 37 minutes, hitting 12 out of 28 shots, 5 out of 13 from three, and scored 39 points, the highest of the game. Even when his teammates weren't performing well, he single-handedly led the team to victory!
In contrast, Wang Feng, who only scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals, seemed quite insignificant. However, in the fourth quarter, it was Wang Feng's appearance that significantly improved the Warriors' overall defense and successfully slowed down Stackhouse's scoring efficiency, allowing the Warriors to catch up.
Wang Feng wasn't disheartened by being overlooked despite being the hero of the win. Having inherited the memories of his other self, he was used to such things. Compared to the attention from journalists, what mattered more to him was what Coach Kerr thought of his performance after the game!
Whether or not I stay on the team depends entirely on how well my performance in this game is viewed by the coach!
Ding!
At that moment, a pleasant ringtone suddenly sounded again in Wang Feng's ears, and the emotionless voice of the Basketball God System rang out once more.
Congratulations to the host for winning your first game and activating the rookie reward mechanism! Check your rewards!
The sudden sound greatly surprised Wang Feng!
Does this system really give rewards for participating and winning a game?
He quickly delved deeper into his consciousness to investigate and discovered that alongside the five badges he had received from the rookie gift pack, there was another badge emitting a silver light.
Catch and Shoot: In a short time after receiving the pass, the receiver's outside shooting attributes significantly improve! (Note: This badge has reached the professional silver level. Once activated, the three-point attribute value will increase by 5 points! Duration: 3 seconds!)
"Just for winning a game, you're rewarding me with a silver badge?"
For a moment, Wang Feng was so surprised that he was slightly stunned.
The Catch and Shoot badge is undoubtedly the most suitable for Wang Feng at this stage because, given his tactical position, it's impossible for him to attack with the ball. The effect of the Catch and Shoot badge can overlap with the corner three-point shooter badge, making his three-point shots more stable.
This way, Wang Feng becomes even more powerful offensively! If we look at the entire league today, there are probably very few players better than him at both three-point shooting and defense.
After all, there isn't a single 3D player in the league who can have a Golden All-Star or even a Hall of Fame-level purple badge!
At that moment, someone patted Wang Feng on the shoulder.
He turned around, looked back, and saw Stephen Curry in a suit.
"Good job, man."
Curry said to Wang Feng with a smile.
Wang Feng nodded slightly, feeling quite emotional.
Curry is the rightful leader of the Warriors. Receiving praise from Curry is definitely a good thing for him! With Curry's status and influence in the Warriors, he could even directly determine whether Wang Feng stays or leaves!
Not far from the court, Kerr watched this scene with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
...
After the game, Wang Feng, like the other players, returned to the locker room to change clothes.
No reporters asked him questions, and he didn't attend the post-game press conference. After all, he was just an insignificant player and wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
But Wang Feng wasn't discouraged at all now.
With his current skills, he no longer had to worry about not being able to make his way into the NBA!
3D players are quite rare in the NBA, which is increasingly moving towards the small-ball era.
Even if the Warriors are short-sighted and give up on him, he has enough confidence to keep playing in the NBA!
He was even more confident that, since it was called the Basketball God System, it would never let him be just a 3D role player. Badges in other areas would also appear in future games, until he became the true Basketball God!
...
Wang Feng wasn't wrong. There was no need for the following games. Just the few minutes he played in this game had already made Coach Kerr change his mind slightly.
Before attending the press conference, Kerr took the time to make a phone call to the Warriors' general manager.
"Bob? It's Steve. As for cutting Wang Feng, I think we can wait a bit longer. In this game, he showed some special qualities that interest me quite a bit. If used well, he could become a powerful asset for the team!"
