NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 42 Against the Clippers in the second round, the long-distance runners are talented

On May 2006, 5, in Phoenix, the home court of the Suns, the first matchup of the second round started as scheduled.

The Suns continued to use the starting lineup in the first round of the series, Nash, Bell, Wang Chao, Diaw, Marion.

The starting five of the Clippers are Cassell, Mobley, Quinton Rose, Elton Brand and Chris Kaman.

The interior lineups of the two teams seem to be very different. Although the Clippers' interior combination, Brand is only 2 meters, but Kaman is as tall as 03 meters. Compared with the Suns, Dior is 2 meters and Marion is 13 meters. 2's height has an absolute advantage.

No way, who made the Suns lose a big insider, Amare Stoudemire?

Based on the mentality of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the Clippers, who are already inferior to the Suns in overall strength, decisively passed the ball to the inside and used the height advantage of the inside to score.

The effect is outstanding.

Diaw's defense is not particularly strong, facing the league's top power forward Brand is almost powerless.

In the first quarter alone, Brand made 6 of 4 shots and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, completely penetrating the inside of the Suns.

However, the score of the two teams in the first quarter was 29:25, and the Suns gained a 4-point lead.

Nash faced the alien Cassell, and the crushing power was no less than that of Brand and Dior.

Kassel was indeed a very strong point guard in his peak period, and he also had an average of close to 20+8 per game in his peak period, but his playing style is more rhythmic, and he prefers to play positional warfare, using his rich experience and skills Find opportunities with a sense of rhythm.

This style of play is exactly what Nash is least afraid of. Therefore, in the first quarter of the game, Nash made 3 of 3 shots, including a three-pointer, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 7 points and 6 assists, which is extremely efficient.

Although Diaw was severely beaten by Brand on the defensive end, his own offensive performance was not bad. The wide shooting range allowed him to easily get open shots and scored 4 points on 3 of 6 shots.

And the Suns had the highest score in the first quarter, and it was Wang Chao again.

"It's unbelievable. After playing against the Lakers, Wang Chao seems to have suddenly become much stronger. Compared with the pressure Kobe put on him, Quinton Rose of the Clippers is not worth mentioning at all!" DJ praised loudly: "In the first quarter of the game, Wang Chao made 5 of 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points. His performance was not inferior to the Clippers' All-Star power forward Brand. The opponent had nothing to do with his three-pointers!"

"Today's Wang Chao seems a bit different..."

Suns coach D'Antoni recalled Wang Chao's performance on the field and was a little puzzled, but then he put this idea behind him.

"Wang Chao is a young rookie who is still in the growth stage. It is a matter of course that the games he has experienced can make him better."

And on the Clippers bench, Quinton Rose panted heavily, took a sip of Gatorade, and looked very ugly.

"Damn... what's the matter with that guy? Did he practice long-distance running before?"

Others may still have the impression of Wang Chao's precise shooting from beyond the three-point line, but Rose, who defended Wang Chao in the first quarter, was almost speechless.

This guy is so good at running.

Since the whistle sounded in the first quarter, Wang Chao has been running non-stop, and his footsteps have hardly stopped.

In the 9 minutes of Wang Chao's debut in the first quarter, Rose felt as tired as if he had played halftime.

After running to the back, he could hardly keep up with Wang Chao's pace.

This is why even though the Clippers attach so much importance to Wang Chao's three-pointers, he was still able to get five three-pointers in the first 9 minutes of the game.

The talent of the long-distance runner is really easy to use. The farther the running distance, the higher the bonus of physical fitness. With the blessing of this talent, Wang Chao originally only had 80 physical fitness, and he can fully exert physical fitness no less than 95 or above Effect.

And as the running distance increases, not only will his physical fitness improve, but his running speed will also become faster than usual!
At this moment, Wang Chao, who was sitting on the sidelines, was also sweating profusely, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and refreshed. Even if he was asked to continue running, he would still be able to persevere.

Under normal circumstances, a player who plays an average of 30 minutes per game can run about 3 kilometers in a game. Of course, depending on the pace of the game, the number of rounds, the number of three-pointers and the number of baskets, this Data will float.

In Wang Chao’s video, the league once counted that the Rockets player Chandler Parsons played the best season, that is, the 2013-14 season, the season when he averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He is the most active and active player in the league, with an average running distance of 2.8 miles per game, which is 4500 meters.

As for Hamilton, the most well-known master of off-ball running in the league, since he was active in the peak period, the league has not yet counted the running distance of players, so it is impossible to know how far he can run in a game, but it is conservative. It is estimated that it is at least 5000 meters above, that is, at least 5 kilometers.

5 kilometers, which happens to be the maximum limit for the activation of the long-distance runner's talent effect.

Wang Chao felt that with his current physical strength of 80, it might not be realistic to activate the talent effect of 5 kilometers per game, but there should be no problem in activating the 3% physical strength bonus and 20% running speed bonus for 5 kilometers.

In fact, at the end of the first quarter, he had already activated the first gear bonus effect of long-distance runners, that is, the running distance exceeded 1 kilometer, increasing the physical fitness effect by 10%.

"Tonight, have a good run!"

……

In the second quarter of the game, the Clippers' Brand continued his efficient state, scoring 7 points in a single quarter on 6 of 12 shots. The team scored 6 points in the second quarter.

而快船队这边，纳什5投3中得到7分，迪奥5投3中同样得到7分。

Wang Chao didn't play much in the second quarter, and was substituted after playing for about 4 minutes. However, in these 4 minutes, Wang Chao managed to overwhelm Rose who was facing him. Not following his footsteps, Wang Chao scored 3 points on 2 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line. At halftime, his personal score had reached 15 points, the highest in the team.

Relying on the performance of Wang Chao and Nashdio, the Suns scored 27 points in the second quarter although the overall offensive efficiency was not particularly high. Although they lost the 4-point lead in the first quarter, they fell behind by 5 points. But overall harmless.

The strength of the Suns is not only reflected in the starting lineup, but its strong substitute lineup is the main reason why the team can still rank among the league's powerful players after losing Stoudemire!
In the third quarter, the two teams came on the bench, and Barbosa showed his talents on the bench, scoring 3 points on 3 of 8 shots.

Nash continued to score efficiently, scoring 7 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.
