NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 72 21 points at halftime!
Don't look at Bowen's age is two years older than Finley, but Bowen, who has focused his entire career on defense, is obviously much better than Finley in terms of defensive footwork.

This point was fully demonstrated in the first round of defending Wang Chao after Finley came on the court.

Wang Chao first ran around the bottom line normally, followed by Finley, but Wang Chao suddenly stopped and reversed while running, which directly made Finley unable to react in time. When Chao chased, Wang Chao had already run beyond the three-point line and received a pass from Nash.

The gap time for running backwards is very short, less than 2 seconds, but this 2 seconds is enough for Wang Chao to catch the ball and make a shot in one go.

This is the shooting speed he has practiced hard for Curry's shooting posture for a long time and the gunner's talent. Looking at the entire NBA, only Ray Allen and other top shooters in the league can do this faster than him.

When the basketball in Wang Chao's hand was flying towards the basket, Finley arrived late, and watched the ball fall into the basket with powerlessness.

In the next few rounds, Finley really experienced what Bowen faced in the first quarter.

Although he has plenty of stamina, he still can't keep up with Wang Chao. On the one hand, it's because his own pace is really slow. On the other hand, Wang Chao's long-distance runner talent has activated the second buff effect, and his running speed gets 5% bonus.

Although it is only 5%, since Wang Chao's current speed and agility have both broken through the 80 mark, the bonus effect is more significant based on a higher ability value, making his speed not inferior to many defenders. .

For several consecutive rounds, Wang Chao was able to find open opportunities by running. Nash was never stingy with his passes, and his 99 three-point ability and marksman talent were as stable as ever.

This caused the Spurs to call a timeout just 3 minutes into the second quarter.

It's not called a timeout.

In just 3 minutes, Wang Chao made 5 of 3 three-pointers and scored another 9 points. The point difference between the two teams has reached more than double digits. If this continues, the game will no longer need to be played before halftime is over. .

Bowen had to reappear after only 3 minutes of rest, but after his appearance, Bowen could not keep up with Wang Chao because he was still very tired.

Wang Chao has the buff physical bonus of the long-distance runner's talent, but Bo Wen does not, which makes him unable to walk as fast as Wang Chao on the field.

After two more rounds, the Spurs adjusted their defensive strategy again, allowing Ginobili to switch defenses with Bowen.

In fact, among the Spurs, the most suitable player to defend against Wang Chao is Parker. Although Wang Chao's speed is already very fast in the forward line after being buffed by the long-distance runner, he can't compete with Parker, Barbosa and even Nash. It is still much worse than that.

With the speed of a French sports car, it is easy to keep up with Wang Chao without any difficulty.

But the question is, what if he can keep up with Wang Chao and even overtake on the curve ahead of time?
Parker is 1 meters tall, and he is also relatively short among guards. Facing Wang Chao, who is 88 meters tall, he is completely misplaced. Even standing in front of Wang Chao, it is difficult for Wang Chao to raise his hand to take off and shoot. Form effective interference. After all, Wang Chao's interference three-pointer ability value is also 2. Unless he directly completes the block, otherwise even a defense that completely blocks Wang Chao's line of sight cannot completely limit his shooting, let alone in A small guard like Parker, who is struggling to reach Wang Chao's nose when both sides are taking off?
I have to admit that excellent static talent can really make players feel like a fish in water on the field. Even Wang Chao, who is 2 meters tall, is like this. How little interference there is when shooting.

……

As planned, Wang Chao was replaced after playing for 5 minutes and 26 seconds. Although he did not play the full 6 minutes mentioned earlier, Wang Chao was very satisfied with the results.

In the few minutes when the Spurs replaced Bowen and Ginobili switched defenses, Wang Chao made 2 shots from the three-point line and hit 1 goal. In the first half of the second quarter, he made 6 of 4 shots and scored 12 points. , the total personal score has reached 21 points, the highest in the game!
You must know that the game is not even over halftime yet, and Wang Chao's scoring explosiveness is completely comparable to top scorers such as Kobe, James, and Wade.

But of course this comes at a price.

A little more than 14 minutes of playing time almost exhausted Wang Chao's physical energy. Sitting on the bench and panting heavily, Wang Chao reckoned that let alone the rest of the second quarter, even the second quarter. In the three quarters, he was able to recover enough to be able to play.

Different from those players with the ability to attack with the ball, Wang Chao's current technical characteristics determine that he can only rely on running without the ball to get out of the open space to catch and shoot, because his accuracy outside the three-point line has already made any team The team will not easily let him open.

Even if he has teammates to help him screen without the ball, Wang Chao still needs a lot of running to find opportunities, which is much more tiring than attacking with the ball.

Relying on Wang Chao's 14 points in 21 minutes, the Suns successfully established a double-digit lead on the field, completely overwhelming the Spurs offensively.

In particular, Wang Chao's end did not affect the Suns' offensive firepower, because with Wang Chao's end, Dior was replaced.

At this time, the Suns' lineup became Nash, Barbosa, Diaw, Marion and Stoudemire.

The Spurs, who are playing steadily and steadily, face this extreme running and bombing team. Their strong defense is like punching into the open space. Many times, it is often too late to build a defensive positioning system with Duncan guarding the basket as the core. , The Suns' offense has already arrived ahead of time, and they have to rely on the players' personal ability to defend alone, and the defensive efficiency is naturally greatly reduced.

Soon, the first half of the game was over.

The Suns went even further in the second quarter, scoring 36 points in a single quarter and 69 points in the half. On the other hand, the Spurs scored 31 points in the second quarter. In the first half of the game, the score was behind the Suns. The score of the two teams in the first half was 69:56. The Spurs fell behind by 13 points at home.

During the intermission, the two teams returned to the locker room. D'Antoni praised Wang Chao's performance in the locker room with a red face.

"Wang Chao did a very good job in today's game. He successfully used his off-ball movement and three-pointers to tear apart the Spurs' defense."

"Although we are in the lead, we still can't relax in the second half of the game. The opponent is the Spurs, and Wang Chao ran too frequently in the first half. I'm afraid we won't be able to play in the next third quarter. We have to continue to work hard." !"
