NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 224 Mission Completed, Magical Knee Pad Effect
Seeing Howard's pitiful words, Wang Chao couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Howard is indeed a player with a very childish personality. Although the relationship with Wang Chao was a bit sharp during the Orlando period because of issues of possession of the ball and subsequent tactical status in the team, when Wang Chao chose to leave the Magic, Howard still regarded him as a As a friend, look at it as a brother. Even if he was not happy with the Magic last season, he did not attribute or blame Wang Chao for these.

Wang Chao knows that Howard's next career will become extremely difficult. Of course, he will not make too much money every year, but the position of the league's number one center may not last long. The championship and the best defensive player are likely to be the most valuable honor and wealth of his career.

Holding the ball and standing at the top arc of the three-point line, Wang Chao watched Howard pull out from the inside to pick and roll for him. In an instant, he seemed to return to the youthful years of the Magic's three-peat championship two years ago.

After helping Wang Chao with a pick-and-roll screen, Howard went straight to the basket, and Wang Chao also threw the basketball towards the basket familiarly.

Howard jumped high and received a pass from Wang Chao in the air to score a violent dunk with both hands.

In an instant, the audience burst into cheers and applause like a tsunami.

Many fans of the super magic combination were moved to tears by this classic scene that had been staged in countless games.

The four years of the Magic team have accompanied many people's youthful years and good times, but time has passed, Wang Chao and Howard have both left the Magic, and they are each moving towards their goals. No one knows whether the two will have a chance to partner in the future.

It's a pity that Howard didn't play much time, and was replaced after less than 4 minutes of playing. The center player himself is not popular in the All-Stars. The head coach of the Rockets is still McHale of the Rockets. How could he let Howard steal Dayao's limelight?
Dayao's next appearance was at 4 minutes and 31 seconds into the second quarter.

Wang Chao and Dayao appeared together, and Kevin Garnett was also on the field.

With three Rockets players on the field at the same time, the ball is naturally firmly in the hands of this small group. Yao once again gained a large number of shots and scored frequently against the weak insiders in the Eastern Conference.

With the assistance of Wang Chao and Garnett, Dayao's personal data reached 19 points and 8 rebounds at halftime.

At this time, other All-Star players in the East and West have already reacted a little bit.

Wang Chao made it clear that he wanted to give Dayao an All-Star MVP!
As long as Wang Chao got the ball, he basically didn't make any shots of his own. He tried every means to pass the ball to Dayao, or use his lethality to break through with the ball to create the best scoring opportunities for Dayao.

Other stars may not have any reaction, Durant will stop doing it first. To be precise, Durant now has a hostile mentality towards Wang Chao. Li, he has to find ways to destroy it, and this time it is still a bit profitable for him. Even if he has already won the All-Star MVP, winning one more is better than nothing.

Thinking in this way, Durant decisively increased the number of shots he took after the start of the third quarter. Originally, the players on both sides of the All-Star Game did not play very seriously, and the defense was all fake. Durant, who was under pressure and hindered, hit his signature mid-range shot again and again, and his personal score also rose slowly.

But when he was on the rise, when a free throw was dead, coach McHale waved his hand and replaced Durant with Aldridge.

Durant: "..."

Chao Wang smiled.

"Hehe, fight with me?"

"The ball certificate, circumstantial evidence, plus the host and co-organizers are all my people, how can you fight with me?"

At this time, Wang Chao was almost wearing sunglasses to make his head look like a big guy, sitting on the stand with his legs crossed and yelling "Then be more cruel!", and then rolled down with the invincible Hot Wheels.

Wang Chao did not allow anyone to threaten Yao's winning the All-Star MVP, whether it was an opponent or a teammate.

After Durant was pushed on the bench, the Eastern All-Stars began to play tricks again.

The rookies of the All-Stars in Irving and George frequently fired from outside the three-point line, helping the Eastern All-Stars to establish a score advantage.

Only the best players from the winning side will have the chance to win the All-Star MVP. How can Wang Chao let them sabotage his plan?

After Owen hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, he raised three fingers excitedly, and even gestured twice in Wang Chao's direction.

Is it three points?Think you've just got the [-]-point contest winner and you're good at [-]-pointers?

Wang Chao decisively took over the ball, facing the Eastern All-Stars' defensive three-point line and scored three three-pointers in a row, including a super-long-range three-pointer close to halftime. The East called out a timeout adjustment.

With Wang Chao's meticulous assistance, Dayao scored 6 points and 4 rebounds in the third quarter, and another 5 points and 4 rebounds in the fourth quarter. When the game ended, his personal data had reached 30 points and 16 rebounds.

The score between the East and the West was 144:135, and the Western All-Stars won by 9 points.

打了29分钟，全场砍下30分16篮板3助攻3封盖的大姚毫无悬念的当选了全明星最佳球员，获得AMVP奖杯。

Durant, the only one in the West who can threaten Dayao, finally scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. It was no problem to score 30+ or ​​even higher points with his scoring ability. Sitting on the bench, there is absolutely no way.

As a green leaf in this game, Wang Chao acted entirely to assist Dayao, so he only scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

In addition to taking shots to help the team widen the score gap when the score is relatively close, what Wang Chao does most is to pass the ball to Dayao for assists and scoring, helping Dayao get in position to grab rebounds, and the other players watching are envious.

Dayao felt embarrassed at the back, Wang Chao literally chewed up the rice and poured it directly into his mouth. This feeling made Dayao, who has always been relatively thin-skinned, very uncomfortable, it was too lame.

But when Dayao held up the All-Star MVP trophy, the smile on Zhang Guozi's face was very bright.

This is his first personal trophy in the true sense of the NBA.

Although Dayao has been selected to the best team many times, there is no trophy for the best team. He has no honors such as best rookie, regular season MVP or best defensive player.

Although I didn't pay much attention to the All-Star MVP before, but when I really got this honor, I still feel pretty good.

When Dayao smiled and held up the All-Star MVP trophy, a system prompt sounded in Wang Chao's ear.

"The task is completed, please pay attention to check the reward distribution."

Hearing the system prompt, Wang Chao closed his eyes and entered the consciousness space. In his consciousness space, there was a pair of white knee pads, which looked ordinary, not even as beautiful as the knee pads worn by many players in the league.

This is the system's task reward, Protective Knee Pads.

Picking up the knee pads, the method of using the props naturally came to Wang Chao's mind.

As he thought, this thing can be used not only for him, but also for all players with a relationship of more than 60. It will disappear automatically after the end of the current season. The knee pads are similar to training potions, not real items. Use them It is also a more conceptual simulation of wearing.

Opening his eyes, Wang Chao looked at Dayao who was still holding up the All-Star MVP trophy to accept the cheers of the fans, and said silently in his heart: "Use the protective knee pads, use the target Yao!"

In the space of consciousness, the white protective knee pads gradually became transparent until they disappeared in the space of consciousness. At the same time, Dayao, who was surrounded by the stars, suddenly froze for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly felt unprecedentedly comfortable in his body, as if It feels as warm as soaking in a hot spring, and the dull aches and pains caused by various injuries accumulated over the years of professional career are gone.

This miraculous feeling made Dayao very surprised, what's going on?Could it be that I subconsciously value the All-Star MVP award so much?After winning the award, the whole person felt a lot easier...

Of course, Dayao couldn't understand and couldn't know that the special props Wang Chao used for him had already taken effect. At least in this season, he was no longer troubled by injuries.

Of course, the protective effect of the protective knee pads is limited to the arena. If someone outside the arena pays a high price to find someone to remove Yao’s leg, let alone the protective knee pads, even Wang Chao’s steel and iron bones are useless. After all, no matter how skilled you are, you are afraid of kitchen knives.

Protective knee pads can only protect Dayao Zhouquan on the field, and there is no way to deal with some unexpected factors off the field.

However, with Dayao's current social status, he is accompanied by bodyguards on daily trips, and the above-mentioned things basically will not happen.
-
"30+16+3, Dayao's starlight shone brightly in Houston, led the Western All-Stars to defeat the Eastern Conference, and was elected as the All-Star MVP."

"After Dayao became Wang Chao, the second Chinese player in the NBA to be elected as the All-Star MVP!"

After the All-Star Weekend, Dayao briefly became the headlines of the major media for a while. In the past two years, with the increase of age and the decline of his competitive status, the league has very little news about Dayao. China still has an unprecedented superstar like Wang Chao.

But this time at the All-Star Weekend hosted by Houston, Dayao finally had a good time, sweeping away the embarrassing situation of participating in the All-Star Weekend in his career, and was successfully elected as the All-Star MVP with his outstanding performance.

After the All-Star Weekend, Dayao seemed to be still in the glory of the All-Star Game.

On February 2, the Rockets played against the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. This was the fourth and final regular season match between the two teams this season.

This game is also the first game after the All-Star weekend.

The Thunder's main starting center, Chris Kaman, missed the game due to injury. Yao faced Perkins, the culprit who caused his injury in the playoffs last season, and continued his All-Star status. In singles, the audience scored 33 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, blowing Perkins to pieces.

Even Dayao felt incredible after the game.

"After the All-Star, I feel very good. It seems that all the injuries I have healed all at once. My body is light and light, without any burden or pressure, as if I have returned to my peak!"

Dayao said excitedly when he was interviewed by media reporters at the press conference.

The protective knee pads are better than Wang Chao imagined.

The 33-year-old Dayao should still be in his prime. The golden sports age of NBA players is 28-32 years old. It is true that Dayao’s physical function will decline after he has just passed the golden age, but he will definitely not fall from the peak in an instant. Falling to the bottom, but the accumulation of various injuries and fatigue will undoubtedly accelerate the decline of the state.

The role of protective knee pads is not only to protect Dayao from injuries throughout the next season, but also to help Dayao relieve the pain caused by injuries accumulated in his previous career, which naturally indirectly makes Dayao The competitive state has improved.

The current Dayao is the competitive state that a normal 33-year-old player should have.

33+12 led the team to defeat the Thunder at home and completed the regular season sweep of last season's opponents in the Western Conference Finals. Yao scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 29 points and 14 rebounds in the next two games, helping the Rockets to win consecutive games. Victory is irresistible!
After the All-Star break, the Rockets won a wave of three consecutive victories, and then the trade deadline came.

On the trade deadline of the 2012-13 season, there were no big trades worth mentioning, only some minor stuffing trades, such as the Thunder sending a second-round pick in 14 to get the defensive striker Ronnie Brewer .

This deal is obviously for the playoffs, to strengthen the defensive ability of the forward line, in order to better limit Wang Chao's performance when facing the Rockets. The four games of the regular season have made them clearly understand that, Just like last year, they have nothing to do against Dayao inside, and among the players that can be obtained through small-scale transactions, there is absolutely no player who can curb Dayao's performance.

Fortunately, Kaman will return in the playoffs. Regardless of whether Dayao can be guarded or not, at least it is better than nothing.

The Heat sent a role player and a 2013 second-round pick plus some cash to get a trade exception from the Grizzlies, and the Heat tend to use this trade exception to sign a player with outstanding strength before the final free market closes. Some role players further strengthen the strength.

However, there are basically no strong players in the current free market. The special case of the Heat will still be used for signings next season. Exceptions are still important.

The Rockets, as always, continued Wang Chao's style. They didn't make any moves during the trade deadline, just quietly watching other teams pretend to be aggressive.

After the trade deadline, the regular season also entered the final stage.

All teams are starting to work hard and sprint for the playoffs, but this does not include the Rockets.

Because the Rockets then defeated the Bucks, Mavericks, Magic and other teams one after another, they won another wave of ten consecutive victories understatement!

Dayao began to return to a healthy and normal Rockets team. The strength has become significantly stronger than before the All-Stars. There is a feeling that I am invincible and you are free.
