NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 88 Are you here to participate in the marathon?
(It's a bit late today, I have something to do in the morning, and there are guests at home in the afternoon, and there is another update estimated to be until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening,)
In the first quarter, it was obvious that Wang Chao had the upper hand.

Wang Chao can keep up with Hamilton's running, and once Wang Chao can keep up, with his height and wingspan advantage, it is naturally very easy to prevent the opponent's shots, but if Wang Chao runs, Prince can follow It is quite difficult.

Throughout the first quarter, Hamilton only took 3 shots, hit 1 goal, made 2 of 1 free throws and scored 3 points.

On the other hand, Wang Chao scored 5 points on 3 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line. Although he was not the player with the highest score in the first quarter of the Suns, his performance clearly suppressed Hamilton.

Facing Ben Wallace's defense in the first quarter, Stoudemire had an astonishingly high offensive efficiency. He made 7 of 6 shots and 2 of 1 free throws. He scored 13 points and 4 rebounds. Other players also made gains on the offensive end. The Suns scored 32 points in the first quarter.

The Pistons had only 22 points in the first quarter and fell behind by 10 points because Hamilton, the main scoring point in the team, was restricted by Wang Chao's markings. In addition, the overall offensive rhythm was slow.

The game entered the second quarter, which was originally the time for the substitute players to play.

But when Wang Chao was sitting off the court to rest, he saw that Hamilton reappeared when the ball was dead after sitting off the court for less than a minute.

As soon as he saw Hamilton playing, Wang Chao couldn't sit still.

He was really afraid that that guy would score crazy points while the substitute was on the court.

After all, Wang Chao's scoring ability is limited. If Hamilton scored 30+ points in this game, it would be unrealistic to score 40+ points by himself to complete the task.

So what Wang Chao has to do is to limit Hamilton's score to less than 20 points as much as possible, the lower the better!

Therefore, after Hamilton appeared on the stage, Wang Chao immediately stood up and walked to the side of coach D'Antoni.

"Coach, I want to play."

D'Antoni froze for a moment, turned his head to look at Wang Chao, whose jersey was mostly wet with sweat, and shook his head slightly.

"Don't be so anxious. We have an advantage in the score. You can wait and see first. You spent a lot of energy in the first quarter. Take more rest off the court."

D'Antoni saw how hard Wang Chao worked in the first quarter.

The defensive end followed Hamilton's long run, and the offensive end was also very active.

His physical exertion is greater than that of Hamilton.

D'Antoni didn't want to see Wang Chao unable to play due to excessive physical exertion before the game was half over.

"It's okay, coach, I can do it." Wang Chao also shook his head and said seriously. "In this game, I want to go all out and really compete with Hamilton."

"..." D'Antoni looked at Wang Chao, and said in silence for a moment, "Get ready and play when the ball is dead in the next round."

……

In the case that most of the opponents are substitute players, Hamilton finally found the long-lost feeling on the field.

Relying on running back without the ball, he got an open opportunity at a distance of 18 feet from the basket, successfully hit a mid-range shot, and then broke through with the ball to cause a foul by the defensive player. He made 2 free throws and scored 2 points in a row.

Wang Chao leaned on the technical stage, watching Hamilton scored 2 points in just 4 minutes, his eyelids twitched.

In the entire first quarter, the opponent only scored 3 points. In the second quarter, they scored 2 points in less than 4 minutes.

In this way, Hamilton's personal score has reached 7 points, which is not much different from Wang Chao's 9 points.

Fortunately, with Hamilton standing on the free throw line, Wang Chao finally ushered in the opportunity to play.

After making 2 free throws, Hamilton didn't have the slightest smile on his face when he retreated, because he saw Wang Chao's reappearance when he made the free throw.

The other starting players were still resting off the court at this time, but Wang Chao appeared on the stage, which was obviously aimed at him!
"That brat, do you think he can really guard against me?"

Even though Hamilton had a good temper, he was also very angry.

After all, he is an All-Star player who has been famous in the league for a long time, and the clay figurine still has three points of anger. He is not someone who can be manipulated by anyone in the arena!
The Suns attacked, and Barbosa held the ball for half court, and immediately prepared to attack with the ball himself.

But before he could make a move, he saw Wang Chao raising his hand for the ball not far away.

Barbossa: "..."

He really wanted to ignore Wang Chao and fight directly by himself.

But the sight of head coach D'Antoni from the bench prevented him from doing so.

Before the game, D'Antoni made it clear in the team that Wang Chao would face Hamilton of the Pistons, and asked the players in the team to assist Wang Chao as much as possible on the field.

Barbosa could pooh-pooh it, but the consequences of ignoring what the head coach says...he might as well not try it himself.

Annoyingly passing the ball to Wang Chao, Barbosa ran to the other side to open space for Wang Chao.

Standing at a 45-degree angle from the three-point line, Wang Chao held the ball and looked at the defensive player in front of him.

Standing in front of him at this time was no longer the difficult Prince, but the Pistons' substitute forward Jason Maxhill, a forward with a height of 2 meters and a rather strong body.

Jason Maxhill was a rookie last year. This is the second season of his career. He is obviously very young, and even if he plays a few more seasons later, this guy is still just a role player on the bench. according to.

Wang Chao raised his hand to pretend to shoot, and the opponent immediately raised his hand nervously to defend.

Obviously he is very afraid of Wang Chao's three-point shooting ability.

But now Wang Chao is not only good at shooting three-pointers.

Seeing the opponent take off directly and try to block the shot, Wang Chao directly took the ball back, accelerated to break through to the left, stopped near the free throw line and made an emergency stop to shoot a jumper.

Wang Chao's mid-range shooting ability is much inferior to that of 99 full-value three-pointers, but after all, he has gone through a lot of hard training. The open mid-range shot has reached a not-low level of 90, and his mid-range shot after dribbling is also 83.

Facing the empty basket before the opponent had time to defend, Wang Chao easily hit the shot.

The improvement of dribbling ability has greatly improved Wang Chao's autonomous offensive ability. It may not be easy to face a top defender like Prince, but if the opponent is a player like Jason Maxhill, he wants to It's just too easy to score.

The Pistons had the ball, and Hamilton frowned, looking at Wang Chao who was closely following him.

Wang Chao is really difficult to deal with. Once he is by his side, it is extremely difficult for him to catch the ball and attack.

There is no way, Hamilton can only lead Wang Chao to gallop all over the field, consuming excess energy.

"Hmph, aren't you good at running? Let's compete who can run better." Hamilton snorted coldly in his heart.

Wang Chao spent a lot of physical energy on both offense and defense in the first quarter, and he saw it.

Hamilton does not think that Wang Chao's physical fitness will be better than him, and this may not be reflected, but as the game progresses, the huge consumption of physical energy will definitely make Wang Chao's pace slower and slower.

"We'll see how you defend yourself then!"

I just don't know if it's an illusion. Hamilton felt that Wang Chao's speed seemed to be a little faster than in the first quarter.

This is certainly not an illusion.

"The second effect of the long-distance runner has been activated..."

Feeling that the body has become a bit lighter, and the fatigue of the body is not so obvious, Wang Chao knows that it is the talent of long-distance runners that has begun to exert strength.

The first stage of the long-distance runner's talent, the running distance exceeds 1 kilometer, and gets a 10% physical bonus.

In the second stage, if the running distance exceeds 3 kilometers, a 20% physical bonus and a 5% running speed bonus will be obtained.

In the third stage, if the running distance exceeds 5 kilometers, a 35% physical bonus and a 10% running speed bonus will be obtained.

The above three stages, each stage is calculated independently and superimposed, that is to say, after activating all three stages, Wang Chao can get 65% of his peak stamina and 15% of his running speed bonus.

Now it is obvious that his running distance has reached 3 kilometers, so the second stage is activated, his physical fitness has recovered by 30%, and his running speed has also been improved.

Originally, the speed of Wang Chao and Hamilton was only about equal, and the latter was a little more flexible because it was lower than Wang Chao.

However, with the activation of the second-stage effect of the long-distance runner talent, he has already achieved an overtake in terms of speed, and he is already faster than Hamilton.

This also led to the fact that on the field, no matter how aggressively Hamilton ran off the ball, he couldn't get rid of Wang Chao. In many cases, he didn't even get a chance to catch the ball.

On the other hand, on Wang Chao's side, the abusers flew up, Maxiel was too tender, and even Wang Chao, who was attacking with the ball, was helpless.

After a few rounds, the Pistons had to let Prince play again.

Among the inside and outside players of their team, the only one who can slightly restrict Wang Chao is Prince, who has the same static talent as Wang Chao and has excellent defensive ability.

只是即便如此，王超还是在第二节比赛的前5分钟内6投3中，三分球3中1，得到7分。

The Pistons finally relied on Hamilton's scoring at the beginning of the second quarter to narrow the point difference to below double digits. In the blink of an eye, the point difference went up to double digits again, and it expanded by 2 points.

As the game progressed, the main players of the two teams began to return to the court one after another.

Wang Chao also began to change his style of play. On the defensive end, he still followed Hamilton closely throughout the entire process and did not give the opponent any chance to make easy shots.

On the offensive end, Wang Chao began to gradually reduce the frequency of running without the ball and switched to fixed-point shooting.

This is also a helpless move. Of course, Wang Chao wants to get more points, so as to ensure that Hamilton can be suppressed by more than 10 points.

But the problem is that even with the physical strength of a long-distance runner's talent, Wang Chao can't play a large number of games in the first and second quarters, and at the same time run all over the court on both offensive and defensive ends.

Not to mention Wang Chao, even a boss with a full physical strength value of 99 can't do it.

In order to continue to limit Hamilton's scoring, Wang Chao could only make some trade-offs.

The efficiency of standing in a fixed position and waiting for Nash to pass the assist is definitely not high, but it is not completely ineffective. After all, the Suns are a running and bombing team known as the 7-second offense, and they can still create a lot of open shots during the game. .

In the second half of the second quarter, Wang Chao played for about 4 minutes, and he insisted on waiting until the opposite Hamilton was off before going down to rest.

And in these 4 minutes, he got another 3-point shot and successfully grasped it.

As a result, he scored another 10 points in the second quarter and 19 points in the half!
On the other hand, Hamilton, apart from scoring 4 points in a row at the beginning of the second quarter, basically didn’t touch the ball much afterward under Wang Chao’s persistent defense, and his 3 attempted shots were all distracted by Wang Chao’s interference. The basket, in the end, only relied on free throws to score another 2 points, scoring 9 points in the half.

19:9, exactly 10 points.

Such a result naturally gave Wang Chao a little peace of mind.

The two teams also scored 29 and 28 points in the second quarter, and the Suns returned to the locker room with an 11-point lead.

"Wang, you are really a genius."

In the locker room, D'Antoni praised Wang Chao without hesitation: "It may be difficult for you to defend a player who can break through with the ball, but if the opponent is a player like Hamilton who mainly shoots, your defensive ability Not bad at all."

D'Antoni is not exaggerating. Based on his excellent static talent, no matter how bad Wang Chao's defensive ability is, when he raises his hands in front of his opponent, he will still give players who are not as tall as him a sense of oppression.

More importantly, in this game, Wang Chao not only successfully restricted the performance of Hamilton, the main scorer of the Pistons, but also his own performance was still outstanding, with 19 points in the half, more than Stoudemire scored in the half. 3 points high!
"You continue to defend Richard in the second half of the game, we will win this game!"

……

There is no need for D'Antoni to say that in this game, in order to complete the task, he will desperately defend Hamilton.

In the third quarter, Hamilton rarely played at the beginning.

He played for nearly 18 minutes in the first half. He did not run less in the marathon match with Wang Chao, and his physical strength was huge. In order to be able to perform on the field in the fourth quarter, he had to rest for a while in the third quarter.

This also gave Wang Chao a chance to breathe.

Hamilton consumes a lot, and his consumption is greater than that of the opponent. If it is not supported by the talent of a long-distance runner, he would have been tired and lying on the bench like a dead dog.

The two sat on their respective benches and spent most of the third quarter peacefully.

When the third quarter lasted 8 minutes and 26 seconds, after the ball was destroyed and went out of bounds, Hamilton, who had been resting for more than 20 minutes during the intermission, finally went into battle again.

It's just that when he just walked to the technical stage, he saw Wang Chao on the Suns side also stand up and walk towards him.

Hamilton: "..."

Are you looking for faults, kid?

The playing time of Wang Chao and Hamilton highly overlap, obviously this game is dedicated to him!
The clay figurine is still angry, let alone a long-established All-Star player like Hamilton?
In the first half of the game, Wang Chao was suppressed throughout the game, with only 9 points, and 4 of them were scored when Wang Chao was not on the court. The shooting percentage was less than [-]%, which already made Hamilton very unhappy.

Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will?

After the two entered the field at the same time, Hamilton ran desperately even on the field.

Really think you can run?I want to see how long your physical strength can support you to run!

As an NBA player, the duel between Hamilton and Wang Chao on the court is somewhat different.

People compete in the field of football skills, but when it comes to these two people, it becomes a marathon competition, just like who can run better and who is the better one.

Hamilton, who is a little impatient, doesn't even think about cooperating with the team's tactics. Even if Billups is already carrying out pick-and-rolls to break through with the ball, he will continue to run around on the field, which naturally does not help the team's offense. , but at this time he really didn't care about the outcome of the game.

"You kid is too deceitful! I won't give you a waste of this game, even if I lose!"

Wang Chao must admit that Hamilton is simply an animal.

Looking at the entire league, I am afraid that there are not many players who can run on the court like him, just as teammate Billups commented on him.

"Sometimes I even wonder if he has some kind of disease - because he doesn't know what fatigue is, it's crazy."

Unfortunately, Wang Chao is just one of the few players in the league who can keep up with Hamilton.

At 10 minutes and 34 seconds into the third quarter, Wang Chao suddenly felt a surge of power, which made his footsteps a little lighter on the field.

Obviously, the third stage of the long-distance runner's talent has been achieved!

In other words, before the end of the three quarters, Wang Chao's running distance has exceeded the 5km mark!

5 kilometers is already at the level of a mini-marathon. After all, a basketball game is not a real marathon. In addition to running distance, there are many places that consume physical energy, such as offense, defense, physical contact and confrontation with opponents, and so on.

Combined with the 48-minute NBA game and the maximum 24 seconds per round, it is difficult for an ordinary starter to reach a running distance of 35 kilometers after playing for about 5 minutes.

But Wang Chao has already run more than 5 kilometers at this time, and even he himself is the first time to activate the third stage of the long-distance runner's talent in the third quarter of the game.

The third stage bonus: 35% stamina and 10% running speed bonus!

Wang Chao, who was already very tired, immediately became calm and quick, following the next few rounds with ease.

Hamiltonians are dumb.

"This guy, why does the more he runs, the more excited he becomes?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, the third quarter ended.

Obviously, Hamilton lost again. With Wang Chao running all the way, he still didn't have many chances in the third quarter, scoring only 2 points on 1 of 2 shots.

Wang Chao also didn't have many scoring opportunities in the third quarter. In order to keep up with Hamilton's footsteps, he had completely abandoned the offensive end. He didn't take a single shot and still scored 19 points.

But that's okay, there's still a fourth quarter to go.

……

Looking at Wang Chao who was still in high spirits and seemed tireless, D'Antoni was really a little scared.

"Wang, don't try to be brave. Take a rest when you are tired. With our leading edge, even if Hamilton is allowed to score in the fourth quarter, we will not lose."

D'Antoni was really afraid that this game would be overwhelmed by Wang Chao.

As a running and bombing team, the Suns run a lot in every game. If calculated according to the attack time of 7 seconds per round, the main players of the Suns run an average of 4000 to 4500 meters per game. about.

But even so, D'Antoni has never seen a player run like this on the court.

Hamilton is already exaggerating enough, but Wang Chao is even more exaggerated than the other party!
These two didn't come to play basketball at all. They should be signed up for the marathon.
