The five starters for the Warriors are Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, and Bogut.
In contrast, the Knicks' starting lineup was extremely disorganized. Out of the five starters, Wang Feng didn't recognize three of them. He only knew the starting forward Carmelo Anthony and Tim Hardaway Jr.
The 2014-15 season was undoubtedly the most tumultuous for the Knicks, as a series of trades left the team's lineup in tatters.
Former All-Star forward Amar'e Stoudemire was traded away, along with other capable role players like JR Smith and Shumpert.
The frequent changes to the lineup caused the Knicks' record to plummet. The previous season, they had managed to maintain the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference and were close to making the playoffs, but this season, they fell straight to the bottom of the league with a win percentage of less than 20%.
It's worth mentioning that, according to the time and space Wang Feng was in, Anthony should have been injured during this period, but in this parallel world, Anthony, who was supposed to be hurt, was not. Although he did get injured, it wasn't as severe as in the other timeline. After resting for about a week, he continued to play for the team. However, the injury seemed to affect Anthony's condition, which also contributed to the Knicks' poor record due to his low assist rate.
At this point, the Warriors and the Knicks were not on the same level, and this game didn't even attract much attention from the United States.
However, in China, across the ocean, countless fans flocked to major sports live streaming platforms as the game began, eagerly waiting for it.
"666! Wait for Wang Feng to eat shit live!"
What's the phrase? Do we eat right away, or follow the process?
Photographers, lighting technicians, and sound engineers are already ready! Let the show begin!
Various comments flooded the screen, causing many live streaming rooms to freeze for a moment!
At this point, the game began!
As expected, the battle situation unfolded as Wang Feng predicted. At the start of the game, the Warriors took control on the court. Curry, Thompson, and the Splash Brothers alternated in attacking, easily breezing through the already porous Knicks defense.
Within just a few minutes, the score difference between the two teams quickly grew to more than ten points. In contrast to the Warriors, who had excellent tactical coordination, the Knicks players struggled alone, with Anthony only managing to score through inefficient single-handed plays.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 33:18, with the Warriors leading by 15 points!
The game was dull, and the comments from fans flocking to the live stream for fun became more frequent.
"Where's Wang Feng? Why don't you let Wang Feng appear?"
"I want to see Wang Feng against Anthony! I want to see him eat shit live!"
"Boss! Change the disc!"
Of course, Kerr, the head coach of the Warriors, who was far away in the United States, had no idea about the bizarre scene unfolding in China, but at that moment, he began thinking about it.
Even though the game had only been played for one quarter, he was already certain it was a guaranteed win!
Kerr looked towards the bench, and his eyes finally landed on Wang Feng.
In the previous game, Wang Feng's impressive defense had surprised him. Because of this, he planned to give Wang Feng more opportunities, which the management was also happy to see.
"Wang Feng, get ready to warm up. You'll play in the second quarter!"
Wang Feng, who was sitting on the bench, was a little surprised when he heard this but immediately reacted and jumped up from the bench.
"Okay, Coach!"
Wang Feng didn't expect to play so soon! But he was already prepared!
...
At the start of the second quarter, there were slight changes in the lineups for both teams.
For the Warriors, Thompson and Barnes left the court and were replaced by Iguodala and Wang Feng.
Finally, the protagonist appears!
As soon as Wang Feng stepped onto the court, the fans who had been anxiously waiting in the major live streaming rooms immediately got excited! They had been eagerly waiting for him!
What's going on? Is he nervous?
Haha! Maybe he's afraid to step onto the court because he's thinking about eating shit after the game!
Seeing Wang Feng standing there stunned for several seconds when he first appeared on stage, many people in the live stream comment section couldn't help but laugh at him.
What they didn't know was that, the moment Wang Feng stepped onto the court, the system's voice echoed in his ears.
Ding! Mission starts! Defeat Anthony! Mission conditions: Your score must be higher than Anthony's at the end of the game!
Mission completed, reward: 10 attribute points and a random bronze badge!
These words made it hard for Wang Feng not to be stunned!
Your score must be higher than Anthony's?
Isn't that a bit difficult?
Relying on the badge, Wang Feng, the king of scoring, was confident he could limit Anthony, but how could it be so easy to outscore Anthony?
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse! Even now, Anthony's average points per game are still above 20! Sometimes he can score more than 30 or even 40 points in a single game!
Where is Wang Feng? He's just a bench player who plays a few minutes per game. Even if Anthony is having an off day, he can still score over ten points. How could Wang Feng surpass that in just a few minutes of play?
But the system offered too much!
The 10 freely assignable attribute points must refer to the player's attributes! Plus, he'll get a bronze badge as a reward!
No matter what happens! We have to do it, even if we can't! For the mission reward, we must fight for it!
...
After Wang Feng entered the court, he was matched up against Anthony. This wasn't a coincidence. Both of them were forwards, so it was natural for them to face off.
However, Anthony didn't take the rookie in front of him seriously. He didn't even look at Wang Feng.
This season, the poor record of the Knicks had discouraged the All-Star player who wanted to achieve more. The team had failed to make the playoffs, and in this case, there was only one thing Anthony wanted to do on the court... improve his stats.
At least one person should think that he did his best, and the fault lay with his teammates.
At this moment, the Warriors had replaced an unknown rookie, and it was the perfect time for Anthony to score!
The Knicks player inbounded the ball from the baseline, dribbled to mid-court, and immediately passed the ball to Anthony, who had called for it!
When Anthony held the ball and faced Wang Feng directly, the fans in the live streaming rooms suddenly got excited!
Here it comes! Here it comes!
On the court, Wang Feng, who had slightly lowered his center of gravity and was staring intently at Anthony, felt his blood start to boil!
Anthony was the first star player he had faced since traveling through time! Even though this wasn't Anthony's best time, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and Anthony was still one of the best players in the league! Dealing with him definitely wouldn't be easy!
Wang Feng was extremely alert and kept his eyes locked on Anthony! No matter what action the opponent took, Wang Feng was ready to respond immediately.
In front of the focused Wang Feng, Anthony seemed a little distracted. He held the ball with both hands and took two practice steps, then immediately took the ball and attempted a long-range jump shot.
For Anthony, who has a variety of offensive skills, mid-range and long-range shots were one of his go-to weapons and made up a large portion of his scoring average. It was also the easiest and least exhausting way to score.
But this time, his trick failed!
Wang Feng, who was extremely focused, suddenly exploded the moment Anthony released the ball. He jumped high and blocked Anthony's shooting path with his arms!
"That's fast!"
Anthony was surprised when he saw a dark shadow in front of him! His rich experience told him that if he shot the ball, it would definitely get blocked by the opponent!
But by that time, he had already jumped, and it was impossible for him to retrieve the basketball he had set to shoot! In a hurry, he could only raise the angle of his shot and forced the attempt despite Wang Feng's block!
The basketball flew before Wang Feng's fingers even touched it, and it wasn't blocked! But the consequence of raising the shooting angle too much was that Anthony's shot missed all three attempts.
"Wow!"
There was no reaction yet at Oracle Arena, but the live streaming rooms across all major platforms in China suddenly went wild!
