NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 271 That's it?Still want to prevent me?

Green's speed is not considered slow among strikers, but it is limited to not being slow. Compared with Wang Chao, who is only strong but not weak compared with defenders, Green's speed is slow, and it is more than slow. 01:30 o'clock.

Originally, he was cheated into the center of gravity because of Wang Chao's fake shot. Green, who was standing forward, was completely unable to react to Wang Chao's sudden change of holding the ball. When he recovered, he turned and chased Wang Chao. Those who have already rushed in.

Cousins ​​was still standing inside the Warriors at this time.

Although Dayao has mid-range and long-range shooting ability, after all, his stability is a bit lacking. In addition to Wang Chao's previous gesture of opening singles, Cousins ​​was not too far away from the basket.

When he saw Wang Chao pass Green and rush to the basket with one step, he subconsciously greeted him to help his teammates defend.

But Cousins ​​himself is not an inside center with flexible feet and good at assisting and supplementing defense. Before he had time to take a position in the reasonable confrontation zone, Wang Chao had already rushed to him, and he was directly in the Taking off in one step from the free throw line, the whole person soars into the sky.

Cousins ​​subconsciously jumped up to try to stop Wang Chao, but only when he jumped up did he realize how terrifying Wang Chao's jumping height was.

In the jumping ball, there is no way to beat Yao, who has almost zero bounce and relies entirely on the advantage of height and arm length. Cousins' jumping ability can be seen as mediocre, and what is in front of him at this time is a jumping ability value of 95. The standard spring man.

At the moment of freezing in the air, it can be clearly seen that Wang Chao is a full head taller than Cousins, and with the impact brought by the breakthrough, it is impossible to prevent this ball no matter what.

Cousins ​​immediately realized this, and then turned his body subconsciously, trying to avoid Wang Chao. If he wants to dunk, just give him a dunk. Anyway, isn't it just 2 points anyway?

But Cousins ​​was a little slow to wake up.

He was a little slow in timing the dodge, and ended up dodging but not completely dodging.

"Boom!" Wang Chao dunked the basketball with a tomahawk, and dunked the basketball hard into the basket. At the same time, his body collided with Cousins ​​in the air, and the whistle sounded immediately.

Because the collision area was not large, Cousins ​​just staggered to the ground, but he was very upset when he heard the whistle sound.

Depend on!If I had known that I would have dragged him down just now, it was a foul anyway.

But that's what I thought in my heart, but at that moment just now, there was no room for too much consideration. The aura of Wang Chao who had already taken off seemed too exaggerated, and anyone wanted to avoid his edge immediately.

After Wang Chao landed on the dunk, he looked back deliberately at Green behind him.

"Where is the person? I thought you were asleep, that's it? You want to prevent me?"

Wang Chao's level of trash talking is not as strong as Jordan, Kobe, Garnett and other masters, because he believes in the maxim that people don't talk too much, and he is better at defeating opponents with games and performances.

However, in the face of Green who took the initiative to provoke, Wang Chao would still fight back a little, and it was after killing the opponent.

Wang Chao, who has the talent of steel and iron, is not afraid of Green's small moves... No, to be precise, he should not be afraid of any excessive fouls on the premise of protecting his crotch, because he hardly will hurt.

Today, he was going to blow Green to pieces in the game, and let this guy know that talking can't be done casually.

The Warriors were attacking. After Curry dribbled the ball for halftime, he looked at Wang Chao standing in front of him, and he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​attacking himself.

He decisively passed the ball to Green, who controlled the field, and then he and Thompson lined up on both sides of the bottom corner, preparing to run without the ball to get offensive opportunities.

This is also the most ruthless part of the Warriors this season. The off-ball running and screens of the two guards can get a lot of shots from outside the three-point line, and the super high three-point shooting percentage of Curry and Thompson can also ensure Sufficiently stable three-point shooting.

At this moment, Curry just stood at the bottom corner of the left three-point line, and immediately started running around the bottom line.

Wang Chao followed behind Curry. When the two passed the penalty area, Cousins, who was standing under the basket, suddenly crossed half of his body, just blocking between Wang Chao and Curry.

Without the ball to cover, Cousins ​​wants to help Curry get rid of Wang Chao's follow-up defense, even if it is only a short escape, it is enough for Curry to have time to run to the outside to catch the ball and then shoot a three-pointer.

Cousins ​​and Curry have tried this trick countless times in past games, and it can be said that they are very familiar with it. Cousins' wide body pick-and-roll quality is also quite good.

Cousins, standing in front of Wang Chao, had already stood firm, waiting for the impact of Wang Chao's collision, but the imaginary collision did not come. Cousins ​​turned his head in surprise, but saw Wang Chao stop in front of him. And made a sharp turn, and actually went around from the other side, chasing Curry who had already run beyond the three-point line.

Screen prediction: When the offensive team performs a pick-and-roll screen, it can detect and predict in advance and take corresponding countermeasures.

This innate skill may sound a bit evil, but the actual effect is actually very simple, just like just now, when Curry slipped the bottom line and ran, Cousins ​​was particularly conspicuous in Wang Chao's sight, and various small movements were clearly visible , Looking at the opponent, he wanted to help Curry with a pick-and-roll screen.

At the same time, Wang Chao can also notice Green's line of sight and ball-holding posture standing outside the top arc of the three-point line, and judge Curry's running position in advance based on Curry's running position and Green's movement.

Not a problem for a player who was once a master of off-ball movement.

Wang Chao, who had already judged the destination of Curry's running position and the intention of Cousins' pick-and-roll cover in advance, directly chose to change the running direction from the middle, and went straight to Curry's landing position.

When Curry quickly ran out of the three-point line in a circle, Green passed the ball immediately.

According to past experience, Curry will shoot immediately after receiving the ball. With his super fast shooting speed, he will throw the basketball into the basket before other Rockets players can help defend.

But Curry, who was already ready to catch the ball and waited for the basketball to arrive, immediately shot the ball, but did not wait for the basketball to arrive as expected.

Wang Chao suddenly burst out from one side, relying on the advantage of his wingspan to intercept Green's pass!

Interceptor Talent: Strengthen the agility, speed, and stealing ability when stealing passes, and provide a speed bonus after the steal is completed.

Wang Chao, who had completed the interception and steal, kept walking, and immediately ran towards the backcourt of the Warriors with a speed as fast as thunder.

The Warriors can only hurry back to defense, but the only one who can keep up with Wang Chao's speed is Green, who is at the top arc of the three-point line and closest to his own basket.

Green, who quickly retreated to beyond the three-point line, knew that he could no longer retreat. With Wang Chao's speed and impact, if he couldn't stop him here, the opponent would definitely score the ball or even cause a defensive foul. It's 2+1.

Green, who stopped decisively, stepped forward to grab Wang Chao, trying to stop Wang Chao with physical pressure.

The bodies of the two collided directly while moving fast.

"Oh!"

The situation that Green imagined to force Wang Chao to a stop did not happen. Instead, a huge force surged from his chest, which knocked him to the ground, staggered and fell to the ground, and continued to slide backwards on the floor due to inertia. for a long distance.

Wang Chao's body was also shaken violently, but he stabilized his body and protected the basketball.

Green is already a defensive blocking foul, but the referee did not blow the whistle, perhaps because this is the home of the Warriors and has a home whistle, or it may be that the referee saw that Wang Chao did not lose the ball, so the judgment is here He didn't suffer a loss in this confrontation, and he didn't blow the whistle for the fluency of the game.

No matter which one it is, Wang Chao, who has no defensive player in front of him, chooses to continue to charge forward, and then slams the basketball into the basket again with a windmill dunk.

"boom!"

Less than 40 seconds into the game, Wang Chao had dunked two goals in a row, ravaging the Warriors' basket.

The Warriors' home fans made loud noises, venting their dissatisfaction, and some fans yelled at the referee on the sidelines, protesting that Wang Chao just made an offensive foul.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Warriors made an offensive round, and the basketball was handed over to Cousins ​​on the inside.

Cousins ​​singled out Dayao, arched his back a few times and remained completely motionless.

His weight is actually not that light. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms. He looks like a fat man in appearance, but he is still much lighter than Dayao who is 122 kilograms.

Unable to squeeze Dayao, Cousins ​​was still not convinced, turned around and faced the frame for a layup, but was slapped away by Dayao.

The rebound was picked up by Leonard, and he immediately made a long pass to Wang Chao, another extremely fast break!

Wang Chao, who ran all the way with the ball, was double-teamed by Green and Thompson this time.

Wang Chao was calm and unhurried. He first dribbled the ball behind his back to avoid Thompson's steal, then changed hands with a crotch and Beverly swayed to deceive Green's center of gravity. , The basketball hit the net.

"brush--!"

Again!

At the beginning of the game, Wang Chao scored 7 points in a row and beat the Warriors to a 7-0 start.

The Warriors called a timeout, and Cole held the tactical board with a solemn expression.

Also being a small-ball team, the Rockets' combat effectiveness far exceeded his expectations... No, to be precise, it was Wang Chao's personal ability that was beyond imagination.

Green can be said to be the strongest point of the Warriors' defensive ability, but in the previous few rounds of offense and defense, he was completely unable to defend against Wang Chao.

Not only that, the Warriors were also hindered on the offensive end. Curry's first off-ball move was predicted in advance by Wang Chao and completed the steal.

Difficult... really difficult!
Cole, who was repeatedly sighing in his heart, said to the players who came off the field: "We must avoid confrontation with the Rockets, don't be brought into his offensive rhythm by Wang Chao, and avoid meaningless conduction of the ball. There are two players with more than 2 steals per game this season. Excessive passing will only give them the opportunity to complete steals and play counterattack fast breaks. We must make good use of the opponent’s center Yao’s physical fitness and potential injuries...”

After the timeout, the Warriors replaced Barnes with Andre Iguodala.

Obviously, they want to use Iguodala's defensive ability to form a linkage with Green to limit Wang Chao's scoring as much as possible.

On the offensive end, Curry once again stood at the bottom corner of the three-point line, but this time it was Thompson who the Warriors were running.

Thompson, who ran to the mid-range with the help of his teammates, received a pass from Green and made a mid-range shot.

Butler, who was in charge of defending Thompson, was blocked by Cousins' pick-and-roll screen, and Dayao couldn't go out to defend Thompson's mid-range shot due to his footsteps.

"It's smart to use Dayao's mobility weakness to attack, but Dayao doesn't play much time."

After scoring 7 points in a row in the opening game, Wang Chao suspended his offense with the ball, but frequently threw the ball to Dayao inside, following the usual routine of the Rockets.

Cousins ​​couldn't guard Dayao, which is a matter of course, so in the next 3 minutes, Dayao made 4 of 3 shots and scored 6 points.

During this period, the Warriors have been taking advantage of Dayao's shortcomings on the defensive end to score, but the Rockets have always been in the lead because of Wang Chao's 7:0.

Halfway through the first quarter, Dayao was replaced when the ball was dead.

Seeing Dayao's end, the Warriors couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although Dayao's defensive loopholes were exploited by them to score frequently, Dayao put too much pressure on them on the offensive end. It's not a joke that there is no solution to the inside offense. The current league really has no inside to stop. Dayao's scoring center exists.

For a long time, whether in the NBA or in the national team, the problem Dayao faced has never been his lack of ability to attack at the basket, but how he should receive the ball inside and his physical fitness.

The Rockets have always lacked high-quality guards in the past, not to mention the Huaguo men's basketball team. Opponents can unscrupulously defend Dayao around the front and try to prevent Dayao from receiving the ball as much as possible.

The arrival of Wang Chao can be regarded as completely liberating Dayao's offensive ability, but it is a pity that he did not meet Wang Chao's partner with excellent offensive ability and strong organizational ability in the years when he was at his peak. Maybe Dayao's performance will be stronger than the average of 06+07 per game in the 25-9 season.

Of course, these are just conjectures. Dayao's strength is actually limited by his own fragile body and physical fitness. High-intensity games will make him very tired and the ankle will be heavily burdened, so it is very easy to induce injuries.

Looking at NBA history, any great star needs a healthy and strong body to play a great, long and brilliant career.

Closer to home.

The Rockets who replaced Dayao sent in backup center Whiteside.

Today's Whiteside is completely in the future. In the previous game, he averaged 18 points, 7.2 rebounds and 9.1 blocks per game in 2.2 minutes per game. He is the team's main inside center after Dayao is off the court.

Although Whiteside's appearance made the Rockets lose the scoring points inside, the Warriors can't continue to take advantage of Dayao's lack of mobility to score easily. Whiteside is not Dayao, his footsteps are very flexible , It is completely possible to follow the defense to the outside line.
