NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 156 Two battles against Durant, a complete victory
Being "bukkake" by Wang Chao face to face made Durant feel ashamed and eager to return Wang Chao's goal.

The Thunder team attacked, and Durant couldn't wait to get the ball from his younger brother Westbrook. Westbrook, who was just a sophomore, was still an obedient baby at this time, although he wanted to take advantage of a slow-footed guard like Nelson. His advantage in speed taught the opponent to be a man, but he still had to pass the ball to Durant obediently.

Facing Wang Chao's defense, Durant also accelerated the breakthrough with the ball. The difference is that Durant did not use a step-back three-pointer, but chose to make an emergency stop jumper one step before the free throw line.

Wang Chao must admit that Durant's scoring talent is definitely one of the top existences in the history of the league. His height and wingspan are so exaggerated, and his shooting point is ridiculously high. Wang Chao has no mistakes at all. In the case of the position, it failed to completely block Durant's sight, and the basketball crashed into the net.

Durant's offense is impossible to defend...

In the future, the bragging words of many basketball stars and even Durant's diehard fans do not seem to be groundless.

To restrict Durant, there are only two possibilities. The first is that he is not in good condition, and the other is to double-team Durant.

Due to his physical fitness, Durant's physical fitness is also at an average level among top stars. In his entire career, he has never averaged more than 40 minutes per game in a season, never scored more than 60+ points, and scored 50 points in a single game. The number of + games is not too much, at least not much compared with those top scorers who can be compared with him.

Insufficient physical fitness coupled with weak confrontation makes Durant still very afraid of double-team tactics. After all, he is a big player with a height of more than 2 meters and has a high center of gravity when dribbling. Once a double-team occurs There is a high probability of mistakes and lost balls.

But Wang Chao is not going to double-team Durant in this game, because he is very happy to seriously compete with Durant on scoring ability.

……

In the first few minutes of the game, it became a one-on-one show between Wang Chao and Durant. The two sides refused to give in to each other, and showed their scoring ability without reservation on the field.

Wang Chao turned into an offensive kaleidoscope, broke through the frame with the ball, made an emergency stop jump shot from mid-to-long distance, and even played Durant with a post-up single, showing a wave of post-up skills he practiced hard in the summer.

On Durant's side, it's a trick that is eaten all over the world.

Relying on the height and wingspan stronger than Wang Chao, Durant repeated the mid-range emergency stop jumper over and over again.

For a while, it seemed that the scores of the two sides rose alternately and were inseparable, which also made the Thunder fans at home extremely excited.

Wang Chao has already proved himself a super scorer in the league last season. Durant's ability to score against Wang Chao is enough to prove his strong scoring ability.

But his family knows his own affairs, but Durant has a hard time in the constant offense.

Wang Chao's defense is not strong, which is a common perception in the league, but Durant, who played against Wang Chao, did not feel that the opponent's defense was bad.

To be precise, in addition to some necessary experience in defense, the most important thing is attitude. A player with a correct defensive attitude can basically show good defensive ability as long as he is not limited by a huge height difference.

Wang Chao is a typical representative of this.

His physical fitness is already at the top level in the current league.

Both speed and agility reached 94, strength 86, jumping 88, explosive power 85.

With the blessing of super high physical fitness, Wang Chao has extremely flexible steps and reaction ability on the field. As long as he is willing, he can keep up with the speed of most opponents.

It’s just that Wang Chao is more inclined to attack than putting his energy and physical fitness into defense. Therefore, on the defensive end, it is often good to be at an average level. Anyway, as long as the Magic can prevent outside shots, it is natural for opponents to rush inside. There's Howard to deal with.

But facing Durant this time, Wang Chao didn't intend to release the water at all. He went all out and stared at Durant.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Durant.

The speed and strength are all in a crushing trend, so that whenever Durant makes any moves, Wang Chao can block him one step ahead of him.

Durant’s frequent mid-range and long-range emergency stop jumpers against Wang Chao are not because this move works well against Wang Chao, but because under Wang Chao’s oppressive defense, he will not be able to think of other points for a while. In this way, the only thing that can be used is the advantage of static talent, and the undefensable emergency stop jumper is used to ensure scoring efficiency.

But this kind of offense is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst. Durant can't guarantee that he will have a very high mid-range and long-range shooting feel throughout the game, especially the continuous single-way offense, which is very likely to be caught by the opponent and targeted defense.

"frame--!"

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Durant's offense began to have problems. Two consecutive mid-range jumpers deviated from the basket, and the third emergency stop shot was caught by Wang Chao at the moment when he stopped and lifted the basketball. Cut off with hand knife.

It's a pity that Wang Chao's stealing ability value is not high, currently only 54, which also caused his movements to be unclean when cutting the ball, and he was suspected of hitting Durant's hand, and was whistled for a foul by the referee.

Durant, who walked to the free throw line, made 2 of 2 free throws, but it is an indisputable fact that the efficiency of the offensive end has begun to decrease.

In the first quarter of the game, Wang Chao made 6 of 5 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers and scored 12 points, while Durant scored 7 of 4 and scored 11 points with free throws. The two were evenly matched in the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, the gap in scoring ability between the two began to emerge.

In the 6 minutes played in the second quarter, Wang Chao scored 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points. At the end of the half, his personal score reached 21 points. In contrast, Durant only scored 5 points on 2 of 4 shots in the second quarter. Although 15 points in the half is not considered low, both scoring and efficiency have obviously begun to fall into a disadvantage.

In the third quarter, the Thunder began to make tactical adjustments. Durant no longer defended Wang Chao, because he couldn't defend either.

The job of defending Wang Chao was handed over to shooting guard Thabo Sefoloza.

This is a player with outstanding defensive ability. He has rich defensive experience, is not afraid of confrontation, and has a tough style of play. Not surprisingly, he will be selected for the best defensive second team this season.

But such a tactical arrangement is obviously not effective. Wang Chao can score high points in several consecutive games against Artest's defense in the finals. How can a mere Sefoloza stop him?

What's more, the Thunder haven't established a sufficiently mature defensive system yet. The shot-blocker Ibaka is still sitting on the team's bench at this time. It is difficult to limit a super scorer based on individual defensive ability.

Facing Sefolosha's defense, instead of being contained, Wang Chao's offense intensified.

In the third quarter, Wang Chao hit 8 goals in 4 shots, with a decent 50% shooting rate, but got 6 free throws and made all of them, which also allowed him to score another 14 points in a single quarter.

On the other side, Durant has completely fallen behind. In the third quarter, he made 2 of 1 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 4 points like the second quarter.

Durant, who scored 19 points in three quarters, finally ushered in a small explosion in the fourth quarter. He made 4 of 3 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 3 free throws and scored 9 points, but at this time the game had already lost suspense.

Wang Chao only played 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, because the Magic had established an advantage of more than 20 points at this time, and the victory was sure.

In the fourth quarter, he only took 3 shots, hit 2 goals and scored 6 points, but even so, Wang Chao still scored 41 points and his shooting percentage was as high as 67%, winning the competition of scoring ability.

Durant, who scored 28 points in the game, did not perform badly, but compared with Wang Chao, he lacked a lot in terms of scoring efficiency and explosive power.

With this game, Wang Chao successfully told Durant a truth.

"Don't be too presumptuous, it's useless."

Whether it's scoring or other aspects, you are no match for me now!

……

轻取雷霆队让魔术队的连胜场次达到7连胜，而11月10日，魔术队客场102：81击败夏洛特山猫也顺利拿到8连胜。

With a record of 8 wins and 0 losses, the Magic successfully reached the top of the league. Just like last season, they continued to show strong dominance in the regular season.

It's just that the Magic's opening streak ended at 8 consecutive victories.

On November 11, the Magic sit at home and usher in the challenge of the most powerful opponent of the new season, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This is definitely the most focused battle during the regular season, the defending champion will face the strongest Big Three in the new season.

This battle between dragons and tigers finally ended with the victory of the Cavaliers. 102:93, the Magic's winning streak was ended.

骑士队这边，詹姆斯一如既往的高效稳定，全场砍下36分8篮板4助攻，而新晋三巨头之一的文斯.卡特23投11中也有29分5篮板入账。

The only one who played more hips was Shaquille O'Neal, who only had a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds in the game, but considering O'Neal's age, it is already very good that he can continue to help the team on the court, let alone In this game, O'Neal once again successfully pinned Howard, limiting his success to only 11 points and 7 rebounds in the game.

I’ve said it [-] times before, but I have to repeat it again. Even Howard at his peak has no advantage at all against O’Neal and Dayao. His lower body strength is too weak. He can't handle O'Neal at all. Although his feet are flexible, bouncing and explosive, there is no point in attacking without inside.

This is Howard's shortcoming, and I am afraid that there is no way to make up for it in his career.

Wang Chao played against James and Carter at the same time in this game. He scored 46 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

It seems normal for the Magic to lose this game. There is no team in this league that does not lose at all.

But losing to the Cavaliers, and Carter scored 29 points in the game, still made many Magic fans a little bit blown up.

Because it reminded them that they had a chance to get Carter during the summer offseason.

Crawford is not bad. In fact, the Magic team was able to win a wave of 8 consecutive victories at the beginning of the regular season. more obvious.

Crawford, who averaged 31 minutes per game, is currently averaging 17.6 points per game, which is the third scoring point of the Magic. It is his activeness on the bench that allows the team to gain the upper hand when confronting opponents.

In contrast, Carter's performance in the new season can only be regarded as mediocre. Even if this 29-point performance is counted, Carter averaged only 8 points per game in 17.2 games, and his shooting percentage was just over 40%. It broke out in this game against the Magic and helped the Cavaliers win the game.

Compared with the Magic, which has a record of 8 wins and 1 loss after the loss and is still at the top of the league, the Cavaliers did not start well. Before the game against the Magic, they only had 4 wins and 3 losses. Very disappointed.

But the outbreak of the game between Carter and the Magic gave the restless Cleveland fans a reassurance.

What is the regular season record?What they want is a historic breakthrough in the playoffs, and what they want is a championship!
As long as the Cavaliers' Big Three can play a sufficient role in the playoffs and provide enough support for James in the game like today, then everything is worth it.

……

Although the loss to the Cavaliers made many fans in Orlando quite dissatisfied, the Magic themselves were not affected too much, and soon returned to the right track and continued to win in subsequent games.

First, they defeated the Nets and Bobcats respectively, and then won again with 11:18 in the game against the Thunder at home on November 108.

The rematch between Wang Chao and Durant ended with Wang Chao winning again.

这场比赛里，王超19投10中，其中三分球10中6，罚球5中5，得到31分6篮板9助攻。

而杜兰特在这场比赛中却手感全无，12投4中仅得到12分3篮板，并且还出现5次失误。

After 12 games, Wang Chao's scoring average has unknowingly increased from 28.6 points to 32 points per game, while Durant has dropped from 35 points at the beginning to 29.8 points. Durant took away his top spot on the scoring list.

At this time, people discovered that Jiang was still old and spicy. Although Wang Chao was not very experienced, compared with Durant, who had only been in the league for two seasons, at least he was much better in terms of scoring stability. .

In fact, as a player known by the public as a shooter, Wang Chao's performance has almost never been particularly stretched. No matter what kind of strong defensive player he faces, Wang Chao always has a way to ensure the relative Score with a steady hit rate.

From the beginning of the 05-06 season, Wang Chao's shooting percentage has never been lower than 45%, including the three-point shooting percentage.

This is of course due to the credit of the system. The digitalization of the body brings about the stable efficiency like a machine. Many of his abilities on the field are actually the probability of ability value feedback, so it will not be like this game. Like Durant, suddenly one day he has no touch, and he can't make a shot no matter what.

Of course, Wang Chao like this is rarely like an ordinary player, suddenly one day if there is a divine help, he will shoot as much as he can, but for this, another function of the system, that is, talent skills, can play a good role in making up for it.
