NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 235 Overall Rating 95, Talent Selection
However, in the eyes of everyone, the Rockets only chose a Gobert with rough skills and only a little bit of defense on the defensive end. There is definitely no way to replace either Dayao or Garnett.

The problems that the Rockets will face on their way to defending the title next season are something that all teams in the league love to see. They don't believe it, and they are one year older. The 38-year-old Garnett can still maintain a very high defensive efficiency like this season , Dayao, who has been injured for several seasons before, can still be like this season, fortunately he has not been injured.

Once the Rockets' internal dominance declines, they will all have a chance, especially the Heat and Thunder, who are mainly outside players and not very outstanding inside.

The Rockets only carried out this transaction operation throughout the draft, and then did not make any other moves.

After the draft, the free market started immediately, and the teams began to carry out various trade reinforcements to prepare for the new season.

On the day the free market opened, the Boston Celtics reached a deal, sending Paul Pierce, Jason Terry and Jeff Green, in exchange for Wallace, Humphries and other five players from the Nets plus The Nets have two first-round picks in 2014 and 2016.

Pierce, the soul of the Green Army, was traded and left the team. All the former Celtics' Big Three left the team. It has completely become history, and it also reflects the ruthlessness of the team's capital. The Celtics fought for fifteen years, but ended up leaving their hometown. This also proves that Garnett and Ray Allen's behavior of running away early is completely correct, especially Garnett, although he chose to cut his salary to join The Rockets lost some of their economic benefits, but now they have won an NBA championship, which is definitely worth it.

The Celtics traded three of Pierce in exchange for two draft picks, obviously to overthrow the team and rebuild, and left Rajon Rondo as the core of the new Celtics team.

At this time, the Celtics could not have imagined that Rondo would only play 50 games in the next two years. He had been plagued by injuries, and his state declined rapidly. In the end, the Celtics had to give up together with Rondo. However, it is precisely because of this that Thomas Jr., who is the strongest on the surface with a height of 1 meters, has the opportunity to rise.

The Celtics gained draft picks, while the Nets gained immediate combat power.

Paul Pierce is currently 36 years old. This season, he can still contribute 20.1 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the Celtics. Jason Terry and Jeff Green are also players who average double figures per game and have good abilities. .

With the joining of these three people, plus the Nets' own Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez's three All-Star players, the Nets have formed a paper combat force at the cost of overdrafting the future. Pretty good team.

With this deal, the Nets instantly became one of the league's favorites to win the championship, second only to the Rockets, Heat, Thunder and other teams.

Of course, Wang Chao is very clear about the combat effectiveness of this Nets team.

In the 2013-14 season, the Nets originally formed the Big Five together with Garnett. In the regular season, they only achieved a record of 44 wins and 38 losses, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference. The Toronto Raptors were then swept by the Heat 4:3 in the second round.

There are many reasons for the failure of the Nets to form a super aircraft carrier. Center Brook Lopez, who is regarded as the core of the interior and future hope, is reimbursed for the season due to injury. The decline in age and state is another reason.

2013-14赛季，加内特的状态迎来断崖式下滑，场均数据从上个赛季的15+8锐减到6.5分6.6篮板，随后几个赛季无论是在篮网还是落叶归根回到森林狼，加内特的场均数据都只有6+6左右。

This can't be helped. By 2014, Garnett was already 38 years old. As an inside player, as he ages, his status declines faster than outside players. Outside players can still rely on him when they get old. Experience and shooting contribute to the team, and the inside players are different.

The body is aging, the confrontation ability is weakened, and the mobility and explosive power have declined, so that Garnett's offensive and defensive effects have declined significantly.

The same problem actually exists in Duncan, who is only one month younger than Garnett, but unlike Garnett, whose strength is entirely based on the defensive ability brought by physical fitness, Duncan is larger than Garnett in terms of tonnage and strength. Stronger, excellent confrontation ability at the basket, plus he also has a good team and a wise head coach, who can make reasonable use of Duncan's advantages to the maximum.

In addition, Garnett, who was born in high school, played two more seasons than Duncan. Although he is the same age, his body is actually more exhausted. It is normal for him to decline earlier than Duncan.

Now it is Wang Chao who needs to worry about this problem.

As analyzed by many media sports experts and commentators, it is much more difficult for the Rockets to defend the title in the new season than to win the championship this season. In addition to Garnett's foreseeable decline in state, Dayao without the effect of protecting his knees is also a great challenge. Hidden danger.

Don't see that next year's 34-year-old Yao is much younger than the 38-year-old Garnett, but his physical condition is really not much better than the opponent.

In the new season, the Rockets must be prepared to fight when neither of the two towers on the inside can play in an ideal state, that is, the tactical play will change from a combination of inside and outside to outside attack.

Fortunately, Wang Chao was ready.

The Rockets' current lineup, as long as they want, can be transformed into a lineup structure similar to the 15-win Warriors in the 16-73 season at any time.

The 73-win Warriors, the most famous tactic in the league, is the death five small lineup.

Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Barnes plus Green at the center position, the average height of the five positions is 1 meters, completely sacrificing the inside line, only Green is alone at the basket, and then uses the ultimate The offensive rhythm has blown up the entire league.

The current Rockets, under the control of Wang Chao, have initially possessed the ability to reproduce the Warriors' dead five small lineups.

Under the training of Wang Chao's training potion for two seasons, the strength of all the players in the Rockets has made great progress compared with the original historical period. The performance of the three-pointer is particularly obvious. After all, Wang Chao is in daily training. Among them, the most arranged is the three-pointer training.

Leonard and Chandler Parsons, two players with good three-point shooting ability, have averaged more than 40% three-point shooting this season, and even Butler, who is not particularly good at three-point shooting , This season's three-point shooting rate can also be maintained at about 37%. As for the fact that there are not many opportunities to play, Khris Middleton, who is a shooter himself, is the most accurate three-pointer among several people. In the entire Rockets team, only Wang Chao and Korver are more accurate than Middleton in terms of three-pointers.

Therefore, around these four people, Wang Chao can completely build him + Middleton + Butler + Leonard + Parsons. And the defensive ability should also be stronger!

As for Wang Chao, there is a high probability that Green will play the role in this five-dead lineup.

For Green of the Warriors, the task on the offensive end is to stand at the top arc of the three-point line and be responsible for organizing and dealing with the cards... After the three-point shooting ability declines in the later period, it is a useless position. On the defensive end, Green’s job is to protect the frame Follow up to protect the rebound.

It must be admitted that Green has done very well defensively. Looking at the league, there are really very few players who can take care of both inside and outside the defensive end like Green. It is said that Green’s defensive strength was better than that of the season when he won the best defensive player at his peak. It is no exaggeration that Nader is stronger.

But the current Wang Chao is confident that he will not lose to Peak Green. His confidence, of course, comes from his own ability.

A long season is often accompanied by a large increase in Wang Chao's ability value.

Originally, after several seasons, Wang Chao had accumulated more than 5000 points, but after the new high-priced training potion was put on the shelves of the upgraded version store in these two seasons, Wang Chao's point consumption became astonishingly fast.

After the All-Star Weekend this season, Wang Chao stopped exchanging points for training potions, because his points were not much left, only more than 200 points left.

The consumption of massive points naturally brought about an increase in Wang Chao's basic ability value, among which the biggest and most obvious improvement was naturally the attribute of defense.

It is definitely not a joke that Wang Chao was selected to the best defensive team after the end of the season and ranked second in the best defensive player voting.

At present, the average value of his defensive ability has reached 90, including 94 defensive rebounds, 85 blocks, 92 steals, 92 outside defense, 89 inside defense, 92 blocking ability, 90 defensive awareness, and 88 defense awareness!

Measured purely by the current defensive ability value, Wang Chao is already the top defensive expert in the league, and like the peak Garnett and Green, he has extremely strong defensive ability both inside and outside the line.

This summer, Wang Chao plans to further improve his defensive ability. After all, his offensive ability has been fully raised to over 90, with an average of 94. It is very difficult to continue to improve, and the current Rockets do not need him. In terms of offense, he continued to strengthen his scoring ability.

This time led the team to win the championship, unexpectedly, the system gave a very high evaluation, the season evaluation score was as high as SS level.

This is the first time Wang Chao has won the double-S season evaluation, and the rewards are naturally extremely generous.

There are still two rewards for talents, but the rewards for points have skyrocketed from 7000 points of S+ to 10000 points!

In addition to the double points reward for victory in the playoffs, Wang Chao, who had already spent very few points, now has tens of thousands of points in his deposit, which is enough for him to spend a good meal in the off-season and further improve his own strength.

As for him right now, the overall rating of his abilities has reached an exaggerated 95. If calculated according to the 2K system's overall rating compensation mechanism, when he reached 90 earlier, he already had an overall rating of 99.

Of course, the general evaluation of ability value is only to ensure the numerical expression of Wang Chao's basic ability value. What really makes him invincible in the arena is the various powerful talent skills of the talent tree module.

This time, Wang Chao used all of the two talents and skills evaluated in the season for defense.

As before, the upgraded talent tree provides him with three choices.

The first defensive talent has the following three talent skills.

Chase Block: When chasing an offensive player and preparing to block the shot, briefly increase the player's speed and jumping ability.

Bully less: After double-teaming the player with the ball, the oppressive defense forces the opponent to stop the ball and is more prone to turnovers.

Fighting Maniac: When in the defensive state, the probability of winning in a physical confrontation with the opponent is increased, and at the same time the physical energy consumption of the physical confrontation is reduced, and the physical energy consumption of the opponent is increased.

Three defensive skills, the first one is one of James' signature moves. Wang Chao has used it before, but he thinks it has low versatility and is not very practical, so he chooses to pass. Unexpectedly, he used it again.

The name of bullying more and bullying less sounds like a rebounding idiot. It doesn't sound like an honest talent, but the actual effect is actually to strengthen the effect of double-teaming.

Therefore, Wang Chao's final choice is Fighting Maniac. The name sounds domineering, and the effect is to increase the confrontation ability when defending.

Wang Chao currently weighs 105 kilograms and has a strength of 88. He can gain the upper hand in most situations in outside confrontations. There are only a few outside players who are stronger than him, such as James and Artest.

But when it comes to the inside, compared with those center players, Wang Chao is still at a disadvantage in most cases.

With the talent of a fighting madman, the situation is different. Effectively improving the defensive ability to fight can improve Wang Chao's internal defensive ability to a higher level. Even if he faces some players who are taller and heavier than him, he will not be too far behind. downwind.

As for the choice of another talent, in the same situation of choosing one of the three, Wang Chao chose a talent called shadow follower.

As the name suggests, this talent skill can improve the footstep speed of the player holding the ball when defending, so that the opponent will not be easily broken through, just like a shadow!
Once the two defensive talents are selected, the number of Wang Chao's defensive talents has directly increased from the previous two to four. With an average defensive ability of 4, it is more than enough to be competent for Green's work on the defensive end.

While Wang Chao was making various preparations for next season, free market transactions were still in full swing.

After the end of the season, the Lakers have been committed to retaining Howard. Although this season, the results of the Lakers' super F4 combination are disappointing. Howard, the league's number one center, has completely failed to meet the expectations of Los Angeles fans. , but keeping Howard is still a top priority for the Lakers. After all, if Howard leaves as a free agent, for the Lakers, it will really be a chicken and an egg to lose his wife and lose his army.

The Lakers formed an old uncle lobby group, met with Howard many times and knew it with emotion and idealized to keep this immature super center.

However, in the Lakers lobby, there is also a guy who is as immature as Howard, and that is Kobe, and the result can be imagined.
