NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 140 Wang Chao: Labor and management are not afraid of getting hurt!
(The number of updates has increased in the past few days, and I have the cheek to ask for a wave of monthly tickets.)
After the timeout, the Magic re-served.

Wang Chao directly received the pass from his teammate, and then he couldn't wait to make a gesture towards the teammate on the side.

Seeing Wang Chao's actions, Turkoglu hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to go over to cover Wang Chao's pick-and-roll.

Turkoglu's pick-and-roll is not an offensive pick-and-roll cover, but a defense switch. In order to avoid losing his position, Pierce on the Celtics side had to switch defenses with Garnett and stand in front of Wang Chao.

In this way, the match between Wang Chao and Pierce was formally formed.

Pierce could naturally see that Wang Chao took the initiative to find him, but as a star who has been in the league for more than ten years and has already become famous, how could Pierce give up at this time?
"Brat, come and hit me for a try? See if I cripple you!"

Faced with Pierce's threatening trash talk, Wang Chao sneered, dribbled the ball to the bottom line, and took the initiative to face Pierce with his back.

Pierce stepped forward without dodging or avoiding, and the two collided fiercely.

The strength of the two can only be considered evenly matched. Wang Chao may have stronger stamina and explosive power due to his younger age, but Pierce is also very experienced, and he has been holding Wang Chao's waist to prevent him from exerting his strength.

"Wang Chao's way of playing Pierce with his back is not rational." Director Zhang couldn't help but said after seeing this situation: "Post-up singles is not Wang Chao's good skill, and as a floor forward, Pierce is also best at his back-up technique." With his proficient moves, it can be clearly seen that Wang Chao does not have an advantage over Pierce in terms of strength.

Of course what Director Zhang said makes sense, but how can an attack from the outside line be as direct as an inside line attack if you single-handedly hit the opponent in the face?

Wang Chao, who was relying on Pierce's back to exert strength, suddenly pulled back his strength and accelerated his turn. The flexibility brought by his super-high agility allowed him to pass Pierce with a touch of his body, and he came to the basket with two strides.

Wang Chao's quick turn around caught Pierce off guard, but he was also an outside player after all. Pierce reacted quickly and immediately adjusted his steps to intercept Wang Chao again.

But it was this moment that Wang Chao had been waiting for.

The first time he turned around and came to the basket, he could raise his hand to dunk or score a layup, but he didn't. Instead, he paused for a while, just waiting for Pierce to come over.

Seeing Pierce standing in front of him, Wang Chao immediately jumped up on the spot, and was about to hit Pierce with a dunk.

Wang Chao has an absolute advantage over Pierce in terms of height and wingspan, and after continuous training, he has reached a bounce of 81, which has also greatly improved his ability to dunk on the spot under the basket.

Seeing Wang Chao take off, Pierce jumped up subconsciously to try to block the shot, and then he immediately realized that the gap between his takeoff height and Wang Chao's was too big.

Pierce has always been a floor player. Although he also has dunks, his jumping ability is much mediocre compared to James and other flying small forwards.

At this moment, Pierce understood why Wang Chao asked Turkoglu to pick and roll to replace the defensive player with him, and why he chose to attack with a technique that he is not good at, such as post-up singles.

"This kid, do you want to humiliate me with the button?"

Seeing Wang Chao who had been lifted up high and was about to pour the basketball into the hoop with one hand, Pierce suddenly became angry from embarrassment. For a while, blood rushed to his mind, and he stretched out his hand and pushed towards Wang Chao's waist.

When players make moves in the air, the most fearful thing is that the waist and abdomen related to the core strength will be affected by extra force, which will make the players lose their balance in the air and easily cause injuries.

Pierce's actions are already quite malicious intentional fouls!
With Pierce's push, Wang Chao immediately lost his balance in the air. At this time, he has two choices. The first is to try to maintain balance in the air and land safely, but in this case, the basketball cannot be dunked into the basket. Even if he continues to dunk the basketball into the basket, he will completely lose the opportunity to control his body. If the force of the dunk is added, it is very likely that he will fall heavily on the ground and cause serious injuries.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Chao would definitely choose the first option without hesitation. What is an opportunity to attack?Compared with his own health and safety, it is nothing to mention, and the referee's whistle has already sounded. Pierce's obvious malicious action will definitely be called a foul or even a malicious foul.

It's just that if this is the case, Pierce has fulfilled his wish, and the other party knows that his actions are very bad, but the reason why he did this is because he doesn't want Wang Chao to face him.

But Wang Chao is going to slap him in the face today!
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Wang Chao didn't care about his unbalanced body at all, and dunked the basketball into the basket with all his strength.

"boom--!"

The strength of 85 is already at the top level among outside players. With a full-strength dunk, even with one hand, the basket still shakes up and down and makes a loud noise. Losing his balance, although he tried to grab the basket to control his body at the moment of the dunk, he failed and fell to the ground heavily on his side.

Pierce was stunned, is this guy crazy?In order to block yourself so much?Don't even want your own career?
To be reasonable, he didn't intend to directly abolish Wang Chao just now, all he was thinking about was how to stop Wang Chao from dunking himself, and any normal person would choose to give up dunking to protect himself in that situation, Wang Chao Super obviously abnormal!It's so abnormal!

"Oops! Oops!"

Watching the live broadcast, Wang Chao's body took the lead and fell heavily on the ground, Director Zhang cried out anxiously. "Wang Chao didn't land well this time, as if his body was pressing down on his arm! Don't break any bones!"

"This is a very bad foul, unsportsmanlike!" Director Yu said angrily: "The referee has already blown the whistle and gave Pierce a first-level flagrant foul, but this defensive action even calls a second-level flagrant foul. It is not too much to directly send the opponent off the field, this is playing with a player's career! This behavior must be firmly condemned!"

Wang Chao is not an ordinary player. If other stars in the United States were injured because of this, everyone might just scold them casually.

But this is Wang Chao, one of the most representative figures in the Huaguo men's basketball team, and he is destined to succeed Dayao as the leader of the Huaguo men's basketball team in the future!If Wang Chao suffers a major injury that affects his career because of this foul, it will be a heavy blow to the Huaguo men's basketball team!
Fortunately, the next moment, Wang Chao got up from the ground and moved his arms. It seemed that there was no serious problem.

Seeing this scene, both Director Zhang and Director Yu breathed a sigh of relief, smiling happily.

"Great. It seems that Wang Chao was lucky. Although he fell a little hard just now, he was not injured. It's a blessing in misfortune."

"But he must be careful. Don't make such dangerous moves in the future. Obviously, he can score stably through mid-range and long-range shots. There is no need to risk dunking opponents to score such inefficient scores."

At this moment, only Wang Chao knew clearly that he was not injured because of the blow just now, it was not because of good luck, it was all due to the system's innate skills, the upgraded version of steel and iron.

Without this talent, there is a high probability that Wang Chao would suffer a 90-degree bent arm fracture just like Paul George and Rondo. Just thinking about such a scene makes people shudder.

"This kind of dangerous action should be avoided as much as possible in the future. Even if there is a system plug-in, it is not invincible, and it is impossible not to get injured at all..."

With this in mind, Wang Chao turned his head and glared at Pierce.

Just now, he didn't expect Pierce to be so ruthless, and the strength to push him can be said to be riveting.

Seeing Wang Chao walking towards Pierce, all the players on the field rushed over to separate the two, for fear that the angry Wang Chao would perform some kind of martial arts again.

This time Pierce was ashamed and thrown home. Not only was he dunked by Wang Chao, but he also used sloppy defensive moves, which were clearly captured by the camera.

The game was temporarily suspended due to this foul, and several referees came to the technical table to analyze whether Pierce's foul just now needs to be upgraded to a second-level malicious foul. If it is judged to be a second-level malicious foul, Pierce will be directly expelled from the game .

However, after carefully studying the video, the referee still upheld the original verdict, a first-degree malicious foul.

Stan Van Gundy was dissatisfied with the referee's constant complaints and pressure.

"Get rid of it! The guy's foul just now is obviously to abolish me. Isn't this a second-level malicious foul? How did you brag?"

Facing the aggressive Van Gundy, the referee chose to avoid it, and did not show Van Gundy a technical offender warning with zero tolerance, because they knew it themselves, and they didn't take it seriously.

The referee also had many considerations for not blowing Pierce off the field.

First, this is the home court of the Celtics. Second, Pierce is the core of the Celtics' offense. Once he is sent off, the game basically ends early. Third, Wang Chao was not injured because of this foul, and the consequences are not serious. .

Stan Van Gundy actually knows that once the referee decides the final penalty, he will definitely not change it, but the necessary pressure must still be carried out. This will also make the referee feel guilty and subconsciously blow the balance in the next game whistle to adjust.

The first-level malicious foul is two free throws and one throw. Wang Chao walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath, and hit two free throws steadily. Then the Magic continued to attack. Wang Chao used Howard to cover the three-point line and shot a three-pointer. After scoring again, the Celtics called a timeout.

In the blink of an eye, the Magic scored 7 points in a row. Wang Chao dunked 2 points from Pierce, made 2 free throws for malicious fouls and a pick-and-roll three-pointer, instantly widening the gap between the stalemate.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 31:24, the Magic led by 7 points, and Wang Chao scored 16 points alone.

In the ensuing games, the referee's whistle was also obviously biased towards Wang Chao. After all, they were really afraid that the veteran Celtics could not limit Wang Chao's scoring and make a big one, and Wang Chao would be crippled.

League president Stern doesn't want to see Wang Chao, who is a bright star, running in the middle of the road, so as long as Wang Chao rushes to the inside with the ball and the Celtics' defensive moves are a little bit stronger, the whistle will be sounded immediately.

The whistle sounded continuously, causing Garnett to be fouled three times and sat on the sidelines. The Celtics were furious at home. not see.

Wang Chao didn't care so much. Although he mentioned earlier that even if he has the talent of steel and iron, he should try to avoid dangerous moves that would cause injury, but this does not mean that he dare not attack the frame with the ball. The injury also made Wang Chao more aware of the benefits this talent brought him.

There is one thing to say, when the Olympic Games won this talent until the end of the regular season, after playing for more than half a year, Wang Chao really felt that this talent didn’t seem to be of much use, at least compared to other talents, it was like a chicken rib , It is obviously an upgraded version of the talent skill, but there is no way to enhance Wang Chao's combat effectiveness on the court. Unlike a sharpshooter who can improve his shooting ability, a long-distance runner can increase his physical fitness, and the bullet time makes him feel like he is on the court.

But now Wang Chao finally understands, what is the combat power increased by other talents?A healthy self on the field is the most important thing, and the importance of this talent even exceeds all other talents!
Without hesitation, Wang Chao went forward with the ball and attacked the frame with all his strength, allowing Wang Chao to get a lot of free throw opportunities in the second quarter of the game. Now, Wang Chao has been upgraded to 97 free throws by a lot of daily training, which also ensures the stability of his free throws.

He made 8 of 8 free throws in a single quarter, and Wang Chao scored another 12 points in the second quarter.

At the end of halftime, Wang Chao's personal score reached 28 points!
The Celtics fans at home are almost desperate.

Is Wang Chao planning to repeat the regular season with 70 points in a single game at the North Shore Garden Arena?

In the third quarter of the game, because the team was always behind, and because of being dunked by Wang Chao and getting a malicious foul, Pierce, who was upset and irritable, could not control his temper and had a physical conflict with Turkoglu , The referee continued to play [-] rebounds each, and called a technical foul for each of the two sides.

But Pierce had already received a technical foul because of the conflict with Wang Chao before. This is the second technical foul and he was directly expelled.

With Pierce's departure, the Celtics completely lost the capital to compete with the Magic.

The point difference began to widen uncontrollably and quickly. When the game was halfway through the fourth quarter, the Celtics chose to give up and replace all the main players.

At 103:90, the Magic won the game at the North Shore Garden Arena, the home court of the Celtics. The total score came to 3:1.

Wang Chao, who scored 28 points in the first half, did not continue to score efficiently in the second half. It’s not that he couldn’t do it, but Van Gundy was afraid. What malicious foul caused Wang Chao a serious injury. With the team already securing the victory in advance, Van Gundy hurriedly replaced Wang Chao to protect him.

This also made Wang Chao only score 14 points in the second half, and the 42 points in the game are still shocking, especially in this game, Wang Chao made 23 free throws and hit 21 of them. There is a great future for JDZ porcelain king Ha Deng's style.

On the Celtics side, Pierce, the main scorer, was sent off for his second technical foul in the third quarter. Garnett has been in a sluggish state due to injuries, and Rondo was blocked by Nelson's free throw line defense. With nothing to do on the offensive end, the only thing the Celtics can rely on after going around is Ray Allen.

Ray Allen scored 12 points on 6 of 26 shots from beyond the three-point line throughout the game, but he was also unable to support himself.

The game ended like this, but the fans of the Magic and Celtics were arguing, and both sides were extremely dissatisfied with the referee's penalty in the game.

Fans of the Magic team thought that the referee's penalty for Pierce was too light. Pierce fouled Wang Chao twice during the game, especially the second time. Foul and a first-level flagrant foul, if Pierce hadn't failed to live up to expectations and clashed with others in the third quarter, he might still be jumping on the court at the end of the game.

This is obviously because the league does not want to let the game lose suspense too early, so it does not want to easily send off the Celtics' main player Pierce. This is also thanks to Wang Chao not being injured in the end, otherwise the Magic may lose this game.

They are very dissatisfied with the intensity of the referee's penalties. After all, if the referees are all such intensified penalties, it will undoubtedly encourage some unscrupulous players and make them hurt other players more unscrupulously on the field.

The Celtics were furious at Wang Chao's 23 free throws in the game.

Wang Chao's whistle during the game has almost reached the level of body hair, basically just blowing and knocking will be punished.

Although they also know that this is because the referee is worried that someone on the Celtics side will continue to imitate Pierce's protection method against Wang Chao's malicious foul, and it also has the meaning of warning the Green Army players, but this kind of whistleblowing is causing Kai The main reason why the Celtics lost the crucial fourth game.

Now that the team is 1:3 behind and is on the verge of being eliminated by the opponent, how can it make the Green Army fans not annoyed?
However, the fans kept arguing with each other, and the two teams maintained a tacit understanding after the game, and they kept silent on related issues. Even Magic coach Stan Van Gundy only vaguely mentioned that professional players should With professionalism and professionalism, he faced every game well without naming names.

Wang Chao didn't say much in front of the media. After all, this game was his victory. Pierce got back the field after dunking, and led the team to win the game. He was not injured.

……

On May 5th, in the fifth game of the series, the Celtics, who fell behind 28:1 and stepped into the cliff with half a foot, showed the tenacious fighting spirit of a top team at the Amway Arena in Orlando, home of the Magic.

During the game, the biggest point difference once reached 15 points, and it was the lead of the Magic, but the Celtics relied on their tenacious defense to catch up with the point difference a little bit, and evened the score at the last moment of the game, and then overtime The game narrowly defeated the Magic by 1 point, and abruptly retracted the foot that was stepped on the edge of the cliff.

Just a score of 3:2 does not mean that the Celtics are out of danger. The Magic, which still has 2 match points, still occupies the absolute initiative in the series.
