NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 79 The Second Nemesis

Looking back, that was already more than half a month ago.

Since then, Wang Chao has exchanged a bottle of stamina potion and a bottle of concentration potion every training day to maximize the efficiency of his training dribbling, and the effect is naturally outstanding.

Previously, his dribbling ability was only 58, and he began to grow rapidly under his investment at all costs. Now it has reached 79, and it is only close to breaking through 80.

A dribbling of 80 may not be considered a big deal in front of the top superstars in the league, but at least it can barely pass the league average. Easy to steal.

For Wang Chao, he doesn't need superb dribbling ability. It is enough to be able to dribble and then display the power of 99 three-pointers after dribbling.

You must know that the three-pointer after the dribble can be used in combination with the other two three-pointer ability values, namely the open three-pointer and the interfered three-pointer.

When the two abilities are added together, even if the defensive players in front of Wang Chao are very defensive, he can still maintain a good three-point shooting rate. Just like Curry, he is better than many players who are open. The three-point shooting rate is higher.

"After the dribbling ability reaches 80, I can tell the head coach about that..."

Wang Chao thought secretly in his heart.

The reason why he practiced his dribbling ability was of course not just because he could unleash the power of three-pointers after dribbling. In fact, this was just a side benefit of his plan.

……

On November 11, the Suns traveled to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

It was another easy game.

The Rockets are a traditional positional team in the league, and their tactical arrangements mainly revolve around heavy center Dayao.

After gaining weight, Dayao can indeed display amazing lethality in the basket. Not surprisingly, this season's scoring average will increase to a career high of 25 points. In a true sense, he has the super lethality of a top center inside.

But every advantage has its disadvantages. Excessive weight, for Dayao, who is 2 meters tall, the burden on his ankles is too great.

Dayao’s many injuries in his career were basically on his ankles. Originally, the physical fitness of Asian players was slightly worse than the average of blacks themselves. Against the extremely strong NBA, they dragged their heavy bodies all the year round. Intensive confrontation, it's strange not to be injured. After all, there are only a handful of bug-type players like James' physical fitness.

This hidden danger already exists in the current Dayao.

Not surprisingly, although he averaged 25 points and 9.4 rebounds per game this season, he could only play 48 games in the regular season due to injuries, and the number of games played in the regular season next season will only be maintained at 55. field left and right.

In this case, from 05 to 08, in the three seasons of the regular season, Dayao could only play an average of about 53 games in each season, which is a proper glass man attribute.

The regular season is still like this, can you imagine a more intense playoffs?

The topic is a bit far away. Returning to the game, in this game, Dayao is still an unsolvable killer under the basket. After all, the player with the highest inside line among the main starting players of the Suns is 2 meters Stad Meier, when he stood in front of Dayao, looked extraordinarily petite.

Therefore, when Dayao received a pass from his teammate at the basket, the offensive end was basically unsolvable, and there was no way to defend with a high-flying style of play.

It's just that the Suns have no intention of competing with the Rockets inside.

Dayao is very strong around the basket, but what is this traditional heavy center afraid of the most?Of course it's an endless back and forth run.

This is precisely what the Suns do best.

Facing the Rockets' tactics of attacking the basket steadily, the Suns decisively played the starting and bombing tactics, increasing the speed to the extreme.

This made Dayao miserable.

In many cases, he has just settled under the basket, and the opponent's offense is over, and then he can only continue to run forward.

After a few rounds, Dayao's physical consumption was greater than when he was attacking at the basket. After all, he was dragging 140 kilograms of weight and running back and forth on the field.

The final result was that Dayao only played 29 minutes in this game, and his physical fitness was exhausted and he could not fight anymore.

In these 29 minutes, Dayao made 11 of 8 shots, 8 of 6 free throws, scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was as high as 72.7%. force.

McGrady, another core player of the Rockets, did not perform very well in this game. After all, he faced the Suns' two top perimeter defenders, Marion and Raja Bell, so he did not perform very well. , 26 of 9 shots, 34.6% shooting, but 9 of 4 three-pointers, good shooting percentage, 23 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

It's just that besides Dayao and Tracy McGrady, only Alston and Luther Hyde scored in double figures on the Rockets.

In contrast to the Suns, 6 players scored in double figures, Stoudemire scored a team-high 25 points and 15 rebounds, Nash scored 20 points and 8 assists, Marion scored 13 points, Barbosa scored 14 points, and Bell scored 11 points. .

王超这场比赛发挥比较一般，全场三分球10中4，加上两分球5投2中，最终得到16分2篮板。

A 40% three-point shooting rate is definitely not low for other players, but for Wang Chao, who has a 49% three-point shooting rate in the regular season so far, it can be regarded as an abnormal performance.

No way, who made him meet another top defender in the league, Sean Battier, today?

Different from those top defenders in the league that Wang Chao encountered before, Battier's defense is very characteristic. His IQ is very high, and he can often see and judge the opponent's intention in advance before the opponent starts to act. Wang Chao's Running without the ball is no exception.

Although slightly slower than Wang Chao in terms of speed, Battier was able to rely on his judgment of Wang Chao's running destination, and it was not difficult to choose a "shortcut" in advance to catch up with Wang Chao at the fastest speed.

And Battier's signature blindfold defense will also have some impact on Wang Chao.

The most important thing is that Battier is not Bowen. He is currently 28 years old and is in his prime.

Thanks also to the fact that the Rockets are a team that mainly focuses on positional warfare, the overall speed is relatively slow, and they are very uncomfortable when facing a running and bombing team like the Suns. .

Shane Battier often has to wipe his teammates' ass and run to help defend. Wang Chao can take advantage of this time to shoot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, otherwise his performance in this game may be even worse.

After Kirilenko, Wang Chao found a second nemesis.
