NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 89 The mission is completed, the upgraded version of the long-distance runner!
(The second update is coming.)
"Don't worry, coach, I know my situation, and I can continue to play in the fourth quarter."

Wang Chao took the trouble to explain to D'Antoni.

Wang Chao, who has just activated the third stage of the long-distance runner talent, is in a state of excitement after recovering his physical strength, and it is completely fine to play another seven or eight minutes in the fourth quarter.

On the other side of the Pistons bench, Hamilton looked like he saw a ghost.

"Is there any mistake, what's the matter with that guy?"

Not to mention Hamilton, even other Pistons players are a little unbelievable.

There are actually players in this league who can run faster than Hamilton, which is too exaggerated.

"The fourth quarter is our last chance." Pistons head coach Philip Sanders doesn't care.

He looked at the team members with a serious expression on his face.

"We are now 13 points behind. You should know better than anyone else that we can't compare with teams like the Suns in scoring explosiveness. How difficult it is to catch up with the 13-point difference in a single quarter, so in the fourth quarter In the game, we must fight to the death, Richard, I don't care what method you use, you must get rid of that kid and restore your ability to score and attack!"

Hamilton nodded emphatically.

When he played again, Wang Chao knew that Hamilton was going to do his best.

The 13-point difference is indeed a very difficult point difference for the Pistons. Without the support of Hamilton, the team's top scorer, it would be almost impossible to do it.

Therefore, Hamilton will definitely try his best to score in the final fourth quarter.

In fact, this is not a big pressure on the Suns. After all, they hold a 13-point lead and Stoudemire is unstoppable inside. It is difficult for the opponent to reverse and overtake.

But for Wang Chao, he must limit Hamilton's score to more than 10 points lower than him, otherwise the system upgrade task cannot be completed!
Therefore, the fourth quarter, where the pressure is not high in the eyes of the Suns players, is the key to determining whether his desperation throughout the game is worth it.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Hamilton was running immediately, his running speed was significantly faster than before, and there were other players on the court to help him with off-ball screens.

Hamilton, who ran in a big circle and ran to the other side to find an open opportunity, received a pass from his teammate and immediately took off on the spot to shoot.

But at the moment when he made a move, Wang Chao followed closely and raised his hand to interfere.

"frame--!"

Although Wang Chao was half a beat slower, he still put a certain amount of defensive pressure on Hamilton, causing the opponent's shot to deviate from the basket.

"what?!!"

Hamilton looked at Wang Chao in astonishment.

Before that, he had a faint feeling that Wang Chao seemed to be running faster and faster, but the feeling was not very obvious.

But in this attack, he really felt Wang Chao's speed increase!

This speed is already much faster than him, no wonder he can catch up and defend immediately after being blocked by an off-ball screen.

"Is this guy really not feeling tired?"

Let alone whether Wang Chao is tired or not, he is still thinking about it. At this time, the score is not 10 points ahead of Hamilton!

After completing the defense, he immediately ran towards the frontcourt, the defensive rebound was handed over to Nash, and the Suns' fast break came again!

The Pistons quickly returned to defense, but the Suns' offense was significantly faster.

Nash passed the ball to Wang Chao who had already reached the three-point line. In front of Prince, Wang Chao directly raised his hand to shoot, and then took the basketball back when Prince took off to defend, and went straight to the basket.

At this time, only point guard Billups was able to defend the Pistons from the basket. No matter how bad Wang Chao's offensive ability was at the basket, he was a 2-meter forward, and he played a 06-meter Billups under the basket. Puth is still more than enough.

After rushing to the basket and taking off in two steps, Wang Chao easily sent the basketball into the basket with a light pick.

The Pistons were attacking, and Hamilton still couldn't get rid of Wang Chao. With the superimposition of buffs in the second and third stages of the long-distance runner, it was very easy for Wang Chao to keep up with the opponent.

Several offensive attempts were fruitless, and the Pistons not only failed to score the ball, but the Suns seized several opportunities to counterattack fast breaks.

Under the ebb and flow, the point difference between the two teams not only did not shorten, but began to widen.

The Pistons finally gave up.

At 4 minutes and 51 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Pistons began to replace the main players.

Sweating profusely and panting heavily, Hamilton couldn't help but glance at Wang Chao at the side when he was leaving the field.

When they left the field, the Suns also replaced the main players.

Wang Chao's appearance is not much better than Hamilton's. His whole body looks like he just came out of the water, and his face is even a little pale.

But even so, the other party's eyes were still bright and sparkled with excitement.

Obviously, the opponent can continue. Although I don't know how long it can last, but this physical fitness, Hamilton is really convinced.

"Unexpectedly, I would lose to others in this aspect..." Hamilton shook his head and smiled wryly. He was just 28 years old and was at the peak of his competitive state. He had not suffered any serious injuries before, and he never dreamed of it. He couldn't outrun Wang Chao himself.

On the other side, Wang Chao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over."

The 5 minutes in the fourth quarter were not easy to resist at all.

In order to create shooting opportunities for Hamilton, the Pistons provided a large number of off-ball screens for him, which caused Wang Chao a lot of trouble.

At this moment, Wang Chao actually felt a little unable to lift his legs. Obviously, his physical fitness was also on the verge of limit, and it was entirely the belief in wanting to complete the task that supported him.

The moment he sat on the bench, fatigue came like a tide, making him feel like he didn't even want to move a finger.

But it doesn't matter, when the game is over, no matter how tired he is, he will be able to live and breathe immediately after knocking down a bottle of stamina potion.

This is a small coup that Wang Chao has explored in his long-term training.

The stamina potion rewarded by the system is only for training, and it is useless to drink too much in the official competition, but in fact, as long as it is not in the competition, taking the stamina potion will also take effect.

The effect of the stamina potion is to restore part of the stamina immediately after taking it, and obtain a buff that speeds up the recovery of stamina within the next 12 hours.

This thing is also very good for relieving fatigue after the game, but it is a little wasteful.

But if it is used during the back-to-back away games, it can effectively relieve the fatigue accumulated by the players in the years of competition.

This is why Wang Chao can still maintain high-intensity training during the intensive and intense regular season.

Stamina Potion! yyds!

He thought silently in his heart.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, both teams have replaced the full bench lineup, because the point difference has reached more than 20 points at this time, and the Pistons have voluntarily given up the game.

In the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Pistons did try to launch a counterattack, but as mentioned earlier, there was no way to activate Hamilton's offense, and their offensive efficiency could not be guaranteed.

But they tried to help Hamilton score more than once in the previous rounds, but they were all destroyed one by one by Wang Chao.

In these 5 minutes, Hamilton made only 5 of 1 shots.

One reason is that Wang Chao can keep up with the defense in time every time. On the other hand, Hamilton is also a human being. Although he is famous in the league for not being able to run to death, if he really keeps running without stopping, there is a high probability that he will die. ...

After competing with Wang Chao for three quarters, Hamilton's physical fitness was also seriously lost. Although he could still run in the fourth quarter, he felt the impact of the decline in physical fitness, and he no longer had the accuracy of the past.

The situation on Wang Chao's side is similar, but after all, he has a super high basic value to support, so in the fourth quarter of the game, he made another three-pointer and fixed his personal score at 1 points.

24 points is not high in the Suns, because Stoudemire scored 31 points in this game, the highest score in the team.

But Wang Chao doesn't care about this, what he cares about is Hamilton's score.

Due to Wang Chao's defense, Hamilton only scored 5 points in these 2 minutes. In addition to the points in the first three quarters, the final score was fixed at 11 points, and his shooting percentage was only 37.5%.

Just from Hamilton's performance, it can be seen how effective Wang Chao's full-time follow-up defense is in this game.

112:95, this is the final score of the two teams.

The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

The sound of the system rang in Wang Chao's ear.

"Ding——Congratulations to the player Wang Chao for completing the task conditions and helping the team win the game, scoring 10 points higher than Hamilton."

"The talent of the long-distance runner has been upgraded, please check."

Listening to the sound of the system, Wang Chao couldn't wait to enter the consciousness space.

He was very curious about what talent upgrading was like.

Then, when Wang Chao saw the talent tree standing in the space of consciousness, he found that the fork that originally belonged to the long-distance runner's talent had actually grown leaves. It looked luxuriant, and it was nothing like the bare branches before difference.

At the same time, he also saw a change in the introduction of the long-distance runner talent.

Long-distance runner talent (upgraded version): Players who run more than 1 km in the game will get a 10% physical bonus, 10% reverse running flexibility, and a running distance of more than 3 kilometers will get a 20% physical bonus, 5 % running speed bonus, catch and shoot shooting percentage increased by 3%.If the running distance exceeds 5 kilometers, the physical bonus will be increased by 35%, the running speed bonus will be increased by 10%, and the negative impact of shooting under fatigue will be reduced by 30%.

"Is this the upgraded version?"

Wang Chao was stunned.

According to simple statistics, the upgraded version of the long-distance runner talent has increased the flexibility of reverse running by 10%, the shooting percentage after catching the ball by 3%, and the negative impact of 30% on shooting in fatigue state.

If the long-term buff effect of the sharpshooter's 30% shooting training effect bonus is not considered, Wang Chao would like to call the upgraded long-distance runner the strongest talent!
In today's competition, Wang Chao truly experienced the horror of the talent of long-distance runners.

Although it is just a talent that increases stamina and running speed with running distance, the cumulative increase of 65% stamina effect under certain conditions is really too exaggerated.

Even Hamilton, a well-known undefeated player in the league, made him very tired. You must know that Wang Chao's physical strength value has just reached 90, which is still far behind Hamilton.

Of course, it is quite demanding to trigger all the characteristics of long-distance runners, especially the effect of the third stage, which can only be activated after running a distance of 5 kilometers on the field.

Since acquiring the talent of a long-distance runner to the present, Wang Chao can count on one hand the number of times he has activated the third-stage characteristics in the game.

And the other few times, it didn't take long for the characteristics to be activated, and the game was over, so he didn't have a chance to play at all.

Today's game is a special situation, he followed Hamilton running around on the defensive end, and he was also running wildly on the offensive end, so he activated the third-stage feature early in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter Play it out to the fullest.

In any case, the evolved version of the long-distance runner talent is obviously stronger and has more characteristics. Whether it is 10% backrunning sensitivity or 3% shooting percentage after receiving the ball, it will have a great impact on Wang Chao's performance in the game. Good help. As for the 30% reduction in the negative impact of fatigue shooting in the third stage, Wang Chao is really exhausted. When this feature is needed, his running distance should be almost enough. This feature is very suitable for the final key of the game. Use it all the time.

While Wang Chao was happy, he couldn't help but have another thought.

"...Since the talent of the long-distance runner can be upgraded, can the talents of sharpshooter, fast gunner, and sniper also be upgraded?"

Wang Chao was thinking in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but fall to the other side of the shooting talent side.

Over there, there are three branches extending out, representing marksman, quick shooter and sniper talents respectively.

If these three talents can grow leaves like long-distance runners, they will definitely be more powerful than the current ones, right?

It's a pity that Wang Chao has no idea how to upgrade his natural skills, and only the tasks randomly released by the system can help him complete the upgrade.

……

After simply checking the effect of the upgraded version of the long-distance runner's talent, Wang Chao exited the consciousness space, stood up and clapped his teammates high-fives at the same time, celebrating another victory in the game,

By the way, before leaving the space of consciousness, he still took a bottle of stamina potion. He didn't want to go to the player's tunnel with weak legs and couldn't walk. That would be too shameful.

Wang Chao stood up and saw Hamilton coming from the Pistons bench.

"Hey, brother, I really admire you."

Hamilton looked at Wang Chao and said from the bottom of his heart: "You can really run. I didn't expect that there are players in this league who can run better than me. Come on, you will definitely become an All-Star."

They are rivals on the court, but they can be friends off the court.

Although Hamilton is a player of the Pistons, he does not have the kind of ruffian of the bad boys in the 80s, but is very easy-going and friendly.

"Thank you." Wang Chao said modestly: "I just took advantage of my youth's better physical fitness. I still have a lot to learn from you in terms of running skills without the ball."

He is not talking nonsense.

Wang Chao’s off-ball style was learned by watching a lot of Hamilton game videos. The talent of a long-distance runner only gave him the most suitable talent for playing off the ball. Running without the ball is not like running around like a headless chicken on the field. , The running route and the choice of position are very important, otherwise it will be meaningless running around, not to mention running out of space, and it will also affect the offensive rhythm of teammates.

Now that the long-distance runner's talent has been upgraded, Wang Chao will definitely invest more energy in this area in the future.

Hearing Wang Chao's business bragging made Hamilton quite happy.

In the subsequent press conference, Hamilton praised Wang Chao's performance in this game.

"You have all seen that in this game, I was completely locked up by Wang Chao, the Huaguo player of the Suns. According to him, he learned his off-ball running position by watching my game video, so he knows me very well. , almost inseparable during the race, as if he was running a race against me."

"I couldn't run past him, so I was limited by him in the game and I didn't perform well. After all, Wang Chao not only has excellent footwork and running ability, but also has a better static talent. I think he will become a league player in the future. Top scorer."

Pistons head coach Philip Sanders said helplessly.

"In today's game, I saw two Richards running on the field, and the opposing one was taller, had a longer range, and even ran faster. If we want to beat the Suns, the first thing we need to consider is How to limit the opponent's scoring, we obviously didn't do a good job in today's game..."

……

There is no doubt that this is a very exciting game, but the actual situation is true, and not many people pay attention to this game.

How many fans are idle enough to pay attention to how far a player runs in a game?

Why is Hamilton always underrated?
It is one aspect that the career scoring average is not high enough, and the lack of gorgeous and eye-catching off-ball play is another important factor.

不管王超这场比赛的过程中发挥的多么突出，全场24分4篮板的数据和斯塔德迈尔31分13篮板以及纳什的18分15助攻相比，都明显逊色一筹。

this is the truth.

Wang Chao didn't particularly care about this.

The system task is completed, the long-distance runner's talent is upgraded and evolved, and the score is maintained at more than 20 points. For Wang Chao, this is the best result.

In the next game, he can also test the effect of the upgraded version of the long-distance runner talent.
