NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 142 Chao Wang: Odom, Your Wife Is Awesome
(The second asks for a monthly ticket)
In the second game of the finals, the Magic changed the situation of being restrained by the Lakers in the first game, and made more points outside the three-point line. They made 38 of 17 shots in the whole game and scored 51 points in three-pointers alone.

The accurate three-point shooting rate caused the Lakers' defense to collapse across the board. Double-teaming tactics cannot be used easily, otherwise the outside line will be an open three-pointer.

After the entire game, Kobe on the Lakers continued to perform efficiently. Under the defense of players with outstanding perimeter defensive capabilities such as Pietrus, Afflalo and Barnes, he still scored 25 points on 11 of 31 shots. Rebounds and 3 assists.

湖人队除了科比外，还有得到23分7篮板的加索尔，13分4篮板4助攻的奥多姆，11分的阿泰斯特等人。

But compared with the Magic, the gap is huge.

Wang Chao made 12 of 7 three-pointers and scored 36 points. In this game, due to the collective fire from the outside by the Magic, Wang Chao's scoring efficiency also increased accordingly, even though Artest still used the stalking defense of the previous game Strategy, there is no way to stop Wang Chao from scoring.

Howard also changed his game in this game, scoring 21 points and 18 rebounds, plus Turkoglu with 18 points, Pietrus with 16 points, and Nelson with 15 points. Five players from the Magic team scored in double figures. Defeated the Lakers 5:114 to get back a victory, and the total score came to 106:1.

The victory of this game made the fans of the Magic team breathe a sigh of relief. After experiencing the tension and discomfort of the first game, the team still recovered the feeling of the previous game. , Even if the opponent is the Lakers, they are not afraid.

On June 6, the series came to the third game. The Lakers played against the Magic at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Although it was the scene of the finals, the Magic players still felt a little relaxed after arriving in Los Angeles.

As a wealthy family, the Lakers are obviously much more generous than the Celtics. Perhaps it is because Los Angeles is the city of angels, a representative city of entertainment in the whole world, and the fans living in Los Angeles have higher quality. And realize it, at least they don't have a bottom line like Boston fans and try every means to cause trouble to their opponents.

Of course, as an away team, the Magic don't want to get much applause. It's good if they don't suffer unreasonable insults.

But having said that, a metropolis is a metropolis, and the style is completely different from other teams.

Orlando, where the Magic play their home games, can be regarded as the largest city in the U.S., but the atmosphere of the home game is still significantly worse than that of Los Angeles, especially the quality of the fans sitting on the sidelines watching the game. Don't.

This is of course directly related to the fact that this is Los Angeles, the capital of entertainment.

The two teams were still warming up, and the TV director's screen swept across the stars sitting in the front row of the arena one by one.

Singer Rihanna, actor Denzel Washington, director Jack Nicholson and other stars appeared on the big screen above the stadium, which immediately aroused bursts of cheers from the fans in the stands.

As the shots of stars flashed by, the screen focused on a blonde woman.

Khloe Kardashian, a well-known figure in the Los Angeles celebrity circle, is also a frequent visitor to the home court of the Lakers. Recently, her popularity in the Lakers has skyrocketed because of her marriage with Lamar Odom.

Kohler, who was locked by the camera, boldly blew a kiss to Odom who was warming up on the field, and the camera immediately shifted to Odom on the field.

The audience on the court who watched the sweet interaction between the two laughed.

No one noticed that Kohler, who made this action, glanced vaguely at Wang Chao on the other side, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

But before her smile could fully emerge, she froze.

Because the next moment, the picture on the big screen in the center of the stadium changed again, and a tall, glamorous beauty with glamorous temperament and red lips appeared.

Kohler Kardashian recognized who this person was with just one glance.

Miranda Kerr, a supermodel signed by Victoria's Secret and a fan of the Lakers, often appears at the Staples Center, becoming the most beautiful scenery on the side of the court.

But today, she is obviously not here to support the Lakers, because many people who follow the NBA know that Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr has an ambiguous relationship with Wang Chao. Last Christmas, she went to Orlando to watch Wang Chao's game. And after the game, they drove back to Wang Chao's residence together.

Many people speculate that she is Wang Chao's girlfriend, but neither of them has ever admitted it, and there is another rising Victoria's Secret supermodel Candice Swanepoel between them. , the relationship between the three is a bit confusing, which makes people very concerned.

Kohler Kardashian was a little upset when she saw that her limelight was immediately taken away by the other party, but it wasn't over yet.

The screen changed again, and another superb beauty appeared in the screen again.

Candice Swanepoel!
It really means Cao Cao Cao Cao, unlike Miranda Kerr, Candice has no interest in the NBA, and there is only one reason for appearing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Candice sat Miranda on both sides of the court, almost facing each other, and they were all well-dressed, showing their own charm to the maximum, just like a crowd competing for beauty, and their aura and beauty suppressed other stars .

Compared with temperament and beauty, Victoria's Secret certified supermodel angels will not lose to anyone in this world, except themselves.

Miranda and Candice, the two Victoria's Secret supermodels, successfully made the audience in the stadium stand and even in front of the TV shine.

Of course Wang Chao also saw the two women, but he felt the aura of the Shura field one step earlier.

Don't even think about it, these two guys dressed so coquettishly and ran to the home court of the Lakers at the same time, they must be cheering him on, but the purpose is not just cheering, from the time the two of them looked at each other, they were eager to imagine You can tell by looking up.

A little carelessness, Wang Chao felt that there might be a proposition in front of him at any time.

When Wang Chao was sweating coldly, Howard stabbed Wang Chao heartlessly. "Hey, look who I saw? Aren't these the two superb beauties we met in New York back then? Wang, I heard that you have some inextricable relationship with them. Could it be... "

The corner of Wang Chao's mouth twitched, this guy, which pot does not open and which pot to lift.

"Are you here to compete or gossip?"

"Of course it's a game, but it's so lively and I like to join in!" Howard said as a matter of course: "After today's game, there will be a night show, and several stars will go there. Do you want to go and have fun together?"

Wang Chao: "..."

Howard's strength at his peak is unquestionable, it's just this professional attitude...

Wang Chao doesn't intend to change Howard's attitude anymore. Whether this guy is eighteen or nineteen years old when he first entered the league or he will be in his thirties in the future, he is a big boy who will not grow up. No matter whether it is Kobe, Harden or James. way to change him.

Before Wang Chao crossed, Howard had no ball to play in the NBA. He chose to go to Wanwan to join the T1 league. I thought that in such a low-level league, which is like a college student to kindergarten for the NBA, Howard should be able to play. The big kill is invincible, but the result is that Howard played mediocre even in the T1 league, and his team kept losing. The only thing that people can remember is the news about Howard and Taimei nightclub.

Wang Chao never thought that he could easily change a player's personality or even the trajectory of his life, especially for a player like Howard.

Taking advantage of Howard's top insider level in the league, teaming up with him to win several championship trophies is a plan that Wang Chao had already planned before joining the Magic.

……

After the warm-up, the third game of the series officially began.

The Lakers started with point guard Fisher, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Artest, power forward Gasol, and center Bynum.

Magic starting lineup point guard Nelson, shooting guard Pietrus, small forward Turkoglu, power forward Wang Chao, center Howard.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Howard beat Bynum.

Even though Bynum has a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 13 meters, his static talent can be called abnormal, but his jumping and explosion are completely incomparable with Howard. The Lakers' training direction for him is also a traditional heavy center. Large tonnage, slow pace, strong internal lethality and other characteristics.

After the Magic had possession of the ball, the basketball was immediately passed to Wang Chao after the players on both sides took their positions.

Facing Artest with the ball, Wang Chao had a calm expression.

After the "confrontation" in the first two games, Wang Chao has gradually begun to adapt to Artest's rough defensive actions, but Artest began to be a little bit unbearable.

No way, who made Wang Chao too hard?
After the two games, Artest's body was already covered with bruises, and the pain was excruciating even if he moved even slightly, which made Artest a little suspicious of life.

What the hell is this Wang Chao guy?Doesn't it hurt?The effect of force is mutual, and the other party should not be much stronger than him, but looking at Wang Chao's calm expression, it's as if nothing happened.

In fact it does.

Wang Chao's body was intact, and even if he took off his jersey, he couldn't see any bruises or scars.

The talent of steel and iron is not for nothing. Wang Chao's ability to resist blows is only stronger than that of top boxers. It is not an exaggeration at all!
Facing Artest's defense at this time, Wang Chao made a gesture to let his teammates pull away.

After being killed by the Magic with a three-pointer in the second game, the Lakers no longer dare to let any Magic players open.

For a while, only Howard and Bynum were left inside the Lakers.

Then Howard pulled out from the inside to cover Wang Chao's pick-and-roll.

This trick again...

Lakers coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines frowned slightly.

The Wang Chao and Howard pick-and-roll tactics they worked so hard to prevent in the first game of the finals were used again by their opponents in the third game. Moreover, considering the situation in the second game, the Lakers can only take a conservative approach. defensive attitude.

Howard separated Artest, Wang Chao accelerated into the interior with the ball, relied on Bynum's body to score a layup, and scored the first for the Magic.

The rhythm of the third game is completely different from the previous two games. If in the first two games, both teams are still in the stage of probing and exploring their respective strengths, then in the third game, it is the true sense of the game. When the time comes, neither the Lakers nor the Magic have any room to retain their strength at this time.

The Lakers' triangle tactics began to be frequently used. Gasol held the ball to support Kobe's off-ball movement and made the last shot. The offensive efficiency was extremely high.

As for the Magic, the main core of offense is naturally Wang Chao.

In addition to the pick-and-roll cooperation with Howard, the Magic finally began to use the elevator door tactic that had been sealed for a long time in the finals.

No matter during the regular season or in the playoffs, the Magic use the elevator door tactic very rarely, but although it is not used much, this tactic is one of the main training items for the Magic players, especially the inside players. One, how to practice is how to grasp the timing just right at the moment of closing the door, so as not to be caught and punished for moving the pick-and-roll violation.

Limited by the tactic itself, it is impossible for anyone to make no mistakes at all, but at this time, the Magic can already ensure that when this tactic is used, the occurrence of mobile pick-and-roll mistakes is minimized.

In this way, in the first quarter of the game, the two teams fought evenly around Kobe and Wang Chao.

Kobe scored 12 points in the first quarter, while Wang Chao scored 14 points and made 6 of 4 three-pointers.

The two teams scored 31 and 27 points in the first quarter, and the Magic entered the second quarter with a slight lead of 4 points.

But as the game entered the second quarter, things began to change.

If the biggest gap between the overall strength of the Magic and the Lakers is obviously the strength of the bench lineup.

On the bench of the Lakers, there is a sixth man like Lamar Odom.

As a substitute player, Odom played more than 30 minutes per game, more than the team's starting center Bynum. The effect achieved is quite good.

As soon as the second quarter started, Odom led the Lakers' bench gangsters to score consecutively. In the blink of an eye, they overtook the 4-point gap and overtook it by 2 points.

The Magic had to call out a timeout adjustment, and at the same time replaced Wang Chao in advance to stabilize the situation.

Wang Chao is recognized as the player with the best physical fitness in the Magic team, so he is naturally the best choice to come up at this time.

In this way, Wang Chao, who reappeared, also formed a direct confrontation with Odom.

In fact, Wang Chao's defensive ability is seriously unqualified. It is only based on static and dynamic talents such as height, wingspan and speed agility. It is not a pure defense black hole.

Fortunately, Odom's offensive ability can only be considered average. Throughout his entire career, the season with the highest scoring average per game was only 17 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4 assists. His personal scoring record in a single game is 34 points.

Odom's strength lies in his versatility. After all, he is a player known as a left-handed magician. Odom's passing ability is very good. At the same time, his height of 2 meters also makes him have a good ability in rebounding.

After Wang Chao appeared on the stage, he successfully stabilized the situation, but that was all.

Odom played very smartly. Even though Wang Chao's defense was not strong, he did not choose to attack Wang Chao in singles, but chose to pass the ball to assist his teammates in other positions to score.

On the defensive end, Odom also cleverly teamed up with his teammates to double-team Wang Chao and limit Wang Chao's scoring efficiency as much as possible.

Therefore, for a while, Wang Chao alone led the Magic's bench lineup, which was obviously weaker than the Lakers, and there was no way to gain the upper hand.

"That's not possible..."

Even if Wang Chao has the talent of a long-distance runner, it is impossible to support him to play the whole game, especially when he is the team's main scorer and is taken care of by the Lakers' extra defense.

Artest is not a kind person. Even if the defensive pressure on Wang Chao in this game is obviously weaker than the previous two games, it will still consume a lot of Wang Chao's energy.

He didn't want to have problems with his physical fitness at the critical moment at the end of the game.

So we have to think of a way.

Thinking this way in his heart, Odom took advantage of the time when Wang Chao's reaction was half a beat slow when he was thinking, and broke through to the basket with the ball and scored with one hand.

The Lakers home fans immediately cheered. Even though Wang Chao's defense was recognized as not good, it is still a very face-saving behavior for Odom to score in front of Wang Chao.

Khloe Kardashian, who was sitting at the front of the stands, also got up and applauded her husband.

This scene was seen by Wang Chao, and his heart suddenly moved. A thought that was extremely damaged but might be very effective came to his mind.

It's just that Wang Chao was a little confused.

"If you really want to do this, will you be hacked to death?"

Wang Chao didn't have the super vitality of Pierce, who had been stabbed eleven times and was not yet led by a dog. No matter how strong the steel and iron bones were, it would be difficult to do anything in the face of knives and guns.

While Wang Chao was still struggling and hesitating, Odom, who completed the dunk and returned to defense, ran to his side and spat out trash talk triumphantly in a low voice: "Did you defend? Just now I thought I passed What fell was a utility pole that wouldn't budge."

"Huh?" Wang Chao couldn't help raising his eyebrows upon hearing this.

I haven't found you yet, but you took the initiative to send it to your door?
The Magic players served from the baseline, and Wang Chao directly raised his hand to ask for the ball. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he slowly dribbled the ball across the half court. Comparable to the speed and explosive power of a guard, Wang Chao passed Odom in just one step, and then faced the Lakers' players who came forward to defend him, he stopped and hit a mid-range shot to score.

This is Wang Chao's counterattack to Odom's goal just now, but it's not over yet.

After completing the attack, Wang Chao turned around, looked at Odom with a harmless smile, leaned closer and lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only Odom could hear: "Dude, your wife is awesome. Like donuts."

Odom: "???"
