NBA: I am the god of basketball

In the second half of the game, the Nets wanted to give Durant more rest time, but Wang Chao and the Nuggets didn't give them this opportunity.

In the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams expanded to more than double digits. Wang Chao scored another 10 points in a single quarter. After the third quarter, his personal score reached 36 points.

Durant, who was sitting on the bench, had no choice but to feel a strong sense of powerlessness filling his heart.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Durant, who had rested and had plenty of physical fitness, went all out on the court, completely blowing up Tucker, giving the opponent six fouls off the field, and scoring 17 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. He fixed his personal score at 36 points and 5 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was also maintained above 50%. His performance was perfect.

But Durant's outstanding performance ushered in a failure.

110: 121.

The Nuggets defeated the Nets by 11 points at home and won their first victory in the finals.

Durant's performance in this game is definitely not bad. He scored 36 points under Tucker's full-time brown sugar defense. If this can be regarded as an abnormal performance, there are not many good players in the league players.

But the problem is that the opponent Durant wants to match is precisely the existence that performs better than this.

The data of Wang Chao's first game was a large triple-double of 44 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. Not only that, Wang Chao, who was not responsible for marking Durant, maximized his defensive mobility advantage, with 3 steals and 2 blocks. Both offensive and defensive ends showed dominance.

Durant's performance is good enough, but it pales in comparison with Wang Chao.

As for Durant's teammates, their performance in this game is actually not bad.

Under Mitchell's defense, Paul scored 15 points and 11 assists in a double-double.

With a height of 1 meters and a wingspan of 85 meters, Mitchell, who has excellent physical fitness and athletic ability, is definitely at the top level of the league in his defensive ability at the same position.

If he was young, Paul might still be able to rely on his rich experience and personal ability to educate the opponent when facing Mitchell, but in 2018, the 33-year-old Paul struggled against such a physical defender.

A double-double of 15 points and 11 assists is enough as the main point guard, but as one of the two stars of the team that keeps pace with Durant, this performance is slightly lacking.

What's more, Mitchell, who was facing him all the way, performed well, scoring 18 points under Paul's defense.

The duel between Devin Booker and Murray has the upper hand. In this game, Booker is the second scorer of the Nets, scoring 25 points. Together with Durant, the two scored 61 points together!
On the other hand, Murray's performance against Booker was average in this game, and he didn't feel very good outside the three-point line. Murray, who mainly focused on off-ball offense, only scored 9 points.

But his offensive deficiencies were perfectly made up for by Rose and Kuzma on the bench.

When the two teams came off the bench, the weakness of the Nets' bench lineup was also exposed.

The Nets where Wang Chao was in last season had the most luxurious bench in the league. Harrell, Powell, Brogdon and many other high-quality players were all gearing up on the bench.

It's a pity that in order to get Paul, the Nets made a wave of multi-person transactions, and all these high-quality and cheap combat powers were traded away from the team, which also led to a vacancy in the bench combat power.

On weekdays, the Nets can rely on a super strong starting lineup to make up for this shortcoming, but against the Nuggets, when the two teams' starting lineups are evenly matched, one or two outstanding role players are crucial.

In this game, Rose once again dreamed of returning to the Windy Rose period. After playing 27 minutes, he scored 17 points and 4 assists, scoring third in the team, second only to Wang Chao and Mitchell, while Kuzma and Gobert They also scored in double figures, and these Nets could only watch helplessly.

By the way, the other two starters of the Nets, Jokic and Bogdanovic, performed very mediocre in this game.

Jokic was completely suppressed against Gobert. In fact, the actual situation is not that Jokic can’t beat Gobert. Jokic, who has been with Wang Chao for several years, has grown faster than himself at the same time because of the training potion. , The internal combat effectiveness is quite good, but the question is how to show combat effectiveness if you can't catch the ball?
The Nets' current lineup has too many ball-holding points. Paul's ball-holding organization, Durant's singles, and even Booker has gradually reduced his off-ball tactics with the improvement of his personal ability. Singles with the ball.

Going around in a circle, there are very few ball rights that can be given to Jokic.

In addition, Gobert's defensive ability at the basket is well known to everyone this season. The initial tactic formulated by the Nets coaching staff was that Jokic used his mid-range and long-range shooting ability to contain Gobert's defense. I intend to give Jokic a chance to perform.

Jokic can't even catch the ball, let alone Bogdanovic. This season he is completely a fixed-point shooter, and his average number of shots per game is the lowest in recent years.

All kinds of factors stacked up, and the result was the victory of this game.

Of course, the biggest credit for the Nuggets' victory is Wang Chao. The 44 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the game supported the team's offense and made Durant's counterattack in the fourth quarter impossible. Come back with success.

At the press conference after the game, the Nets maintained a more optimistic attitude.

"This is the Pepsi Center in Denver, known as the devil. When we came here, we were already mentally prepared to lose. The outcome of a game doesn't mean much, because this is the playoffs, it is the general The final, we have seven games to play and this is just the beginning."

As for Durant, who scored 36 points but failed to lead the team to win the game, he expressed his dissatisfaction and disappointment in an interview after the game.

"Honestly speaking, I was very frustrated when I lost the game, but what made me even more disappointed was that at the beginning of the game, when I was about to attack with the ball, I found that the person standing opposite me was not Wang Chao but PJ Tucker."

"I understand that this is a tactical strategy made by the Nuggets to limit me, but in my heart I still hope to have the opportunity to compete with Wang Chao head-on 1-on-1 on the court. I have to say that this has seriously hit me. positivity."

As soon as Durant said these words, the reporter's eyes lit up twice.

I'm coming!Happy to see the tearing part of the finals!
In the finals last year, Wang Chao and Durant staged a big show, because Durant deliberately wanted to grab the FMVP, Wang Chao didn't get used to him at all, and directly blasted at the post-match press conference, saying If I was the championship before you came, it has become a classic handed down, and Durant couldn't catch the ball at all in the next game. It is also surprising that the Nets can continue to win the championship with super dominance.

Unexpectedly, in this year's finals, the two who had become opponents actually started again, and Durant was the first to attack.

The translation of Durant's previous words was simple and vulgar, that is, Wang Chao, you coward, do you dare to defend me?
On the one hand, these remarks may be Durant venting his dissatisfaction and provoking Wang Chao, on the other hand, it may also be a helpless move by the Nets.

Tucker's candy-style consumption of defense really gave Durant a headache. The Nets wanted to solve this problem but there was no way. After all, they didn't have a defensive champion like Tucker around them to do the same for Wang Chao. things.

If Durant's move can really provoke Wang Chao and attract Wang Chao to take the initiative to defend Durant, it will also consume his physical energy. Even though Wang Chao is a well-known physical monster in the league, he is not infinite physical energy after all. The more physical energy consumed on the defensive end will make him score less on the offensive end, even if it is only a little less, it may be a winning opportunity that the Nets can seize.

What excited them was that when Wang Chao heard Durant's post-match interview, he was really fooled.

Wang Chao learned of Durant's remarks only a day later when he was stopped by a reporter outside the training hall.

Wang Chao couldn't help laughing when he heard the reporter relay the words.

"Okay, I haven't heard of my request to take the initiative to play. Since he wants to try it, I will satisfy him next."

The reporter who got this interview was very satisfied, and couldn't wait to announce Wang Chao's response after returning home.

Wang Chao doesn't care about this either. He has one thing to say. When it comes to defending Durant, he is definitely more suitable at 2 meters tall than Tucker, who is 06 meters tall. Can't he do it?The only thing to pay attention to is to control fouls.

The reason why Tucker is arranged to defend Durant is just because it is more reasonable and will not waste Tucker's role on the defensive end.

PJ Tucker now has the third highest salary in the team, and is doing the job of a blue-collar player. If he doesn't make good use of it, isn't this money a waste of money?
Even though the owner of the Nuggets should pay the money instead of Wang Chao, he still habitually hopes that Tucker can make the best use of it.

Now that Durant took the initiative to find abuse, Wang Chao would not be polite.

Of course, it is impossible for a top star to prevent death. Even if he is as strong as Wang Chao, it is impossible to completely prevent Durant from death. It is just that using the same method as Tucker can make Durant fall into a physical crisis. Do it, and even do it better.
-
After Wang Chao responded to Durant in the air, the fans' expectations for the finals G2 game reached a peak.

The second round of Wang Chao vs Durant, the real 1v1 session is about to usher!

Although it is known that Durant is probably not Wang Chao's opponent, this kind of head-to-head duel is still rare on the stage of the finals.

Therefore, when the second game of the finals started on June 6, a large number of fans stayed in the TV and live broadcast room, looking forward to the start of the game.

The Nets' starting lineup has not changed from the previous game, while the Nuggets' lineup has made some adjustments.

PJ Tucker was removed from the starting job and replaced by first-year rookie Kyle Kuzma.

The intention of the Nuggets' move is very obvious, which is to clarify their response to Durant.

Didn't you say you wanted to break heads with Wang Chao one-on-one?This opportunity is for you!

Tucker is best at defense. If he doesn't give full play to his defensive advantages, his comprehensive ability is not as good as rookie Kuzma, so it is normal to be replaced as a starter.

It's funny to say that Tucker, known as a 3D player, made 37% of his three-pointers, and Kuzma also made 36.6% of his three-pointers, and he still made more three-pointers than Tucker. Kuzma has a good sense of inside, and his offensive power is much stronger than Tucker.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams jumped the ball in midfield, and Gobert once again easily won the ball over Jokic.

Then at the beginning of the game, Wang Chao faced Durant with the ball.

Different from the three-point shot with a retreat step at the beginning of the last game, this time Wang Chao directly chose to break through with the ball. Although Durant's defense was in place, he was never thrown away by Wang Chao, but when Wang Chao rushed to the basket When Shen Jian took off vigorously, he was still staggered back by Wang Chao, and watched helplessly as the latter scored with one arm.

But this time, Durant is also full of momentum, and finally he can play 1v1 with Wang Chao in the finals!He has longed for this day for a long time!

The Nets attacked. When Durant stood at the top arc with the ball and looked at Wang Chao in front of him, the blood that had been boiling earlier began to cool down a little.

Perfect defensive positioning.

Wang Chao's positioning is very particular, in a delicately balanced position, no matter Durant wants to make a shot or break through with the ball, he can immediately step forward to meet and defend.

Even Durant made provocative words, Wang Chao naturally wouldn't be used to the opponent, and immediately pulled up his strength as soon as he came up.

For a while, Durant hesitated, thinking about what attack to use.

In fact, at this time, calling teammates for pick-and-roll coverage is the best choice. Even top superstars as strong as Jordan, James, Kobe, etc. will often use pick-and-roll tactics on the field.

But Durant really can't get rid of this face now. After all, it is his request to let Wang Chao defend him. Now Wang Chao has fulfilled his promise as promised. He called the pick-and-roll cover in the first round. Isn't he laughed to death?
Durant is still hesitating, but Wang Chao will not give him a chance to think.

Seeing Durant's hesitation, Wang Chao made a decisive decision and rushed directly to defend himself. While using his body and strength to oppress Durant, he poked his hands towards the basketball in Durant's hand.

Suddenly attacked, Durant was a little flustered for a while.

Hastily raised the ball high, trying to use the advantage of height and wingspan to protect the basketball.

Indeed, Durant, who has an absolute height and wingspan advantage against Wang Chaoshi, can do this, but he ignored Wang Chao's explosive power and underestimated Wang Chao's decisiveness.

When he saw Durant holding up the basketball, Wang Chao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately bent his knees and jumped up violently, and patted the basketball between Durant's hands with precision!
Suddenly a huge force came, Durant couldn't catch it, the basketball in his hand came out, and he turned around and ran to the basketball that fell to the ground, trying to protect the ball in his arms.

When he grabbed the basketball, Wang Chao also shot out from one side, grabbing the basketball with Durant at the same time.

It's time to test your strength!

Just like an egg hitting a rock, it will break at the touch of a touch. Durant didn't even make it to the stalemate for a second, and the basketball was taken away by Wang Chao!
"Damn!" (End of this chapter)
