NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 122: Score 74 points together, and the Kewang combination is born!

The Lakers have become accustomed to Kobe's shooting.

The gold content of the historical blacksmith king is no joke.

In the two seasons when Kobe Bryant won the scoring title in two single-core games, his field goal percentage of 46% seemed pretty good, but his average of 10.2 free throws per game played a very important role. In that period, the number of offensive rounds was far less rapid than in the future small ball era. In a league that switches between offense and defense, the average of 10 free throws per game is actually higher than Harden's average of nearly 12 free throws per game.

During the same period, only James and Iverson were able to compete with Kobe in free throws per game.

However, James and Iverson's style of play mainly focuses on holding the ball to break through and attack the basket. It is natural that they take many free throws. However, during this period of time, Kobe's offense was mainly based on mid-to-long-range shooting and back-up techniques, and the number of free throws was also low. Less is more interesting.

The topic has gone a bit far.

Kobe missed the shot, Stoudemire grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Nash immediately, who immediately ran towards the frontcourt with the ball.

After more than half a month of running-in, the Suns' offensive tactical system is basically mature, and the 7-second run and gun is now readily available.

However, the lineup sent by the Lakers itself is a small ball team with strong mobility against the Suns, so the speed of returning to defense is not slow.

After Nash crossed the half court, he passed the ball to Sean Marion. Marion, nicknamed the Hacker, had already sprinted all the way to the penalty area, received Nash's pass and immediately threw the ball without any pause.

But just as Marion took action, Wang Chong quickly shot out from one side and slapped the basketball out of the baseline with a big shot.

Marion was one of the league's early talent monsters. He was 2 meters tall but had a wingspan of 01 meters. While his static talent was excellent, his dynamic talent was also outstanding. At his peak, he could fly on the court and do anything. A monster that claims to be able to defend from position one to position five.

But when a talent monster meets a talent monster, you will find that the difference is not just a little bit.

Standing in front of Marion, Wang Chong, who is 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 10 meters, is completely bigger. Marion, who pursues the fastest shot, obviously underestimated Wang Chong's athletic ability and did not make any feints. , the result was a solid blow.

Suns sideline kick.

After the fast break opportunity was destroyed, the Suns were forced to play positional warfare, and their positional warfare tactics were mainly based on Nash's pick-and-roll tactics and Stoudemire's inside-frame breakthrough attack.

The tactic the Suns chose this time was Stoudemire's face-to-frame offense.

Odom is not much behind Stoudemire in terms of speed, but his defensive skills and experience are very average. Stoudemire feinted a shot from the mid-range and quickly broke through with the ball, against Odom's The defense successfully scored a layup.

4: 0.

Kobe cut to the basket from outside and received a pass from Odom to assist in scoring.

4: 2.

The Suns served from the bottom line, and Nash used a teammate's pick-and-roll to break through to the free throw line. Facing the Lakers' help defender, he made the iconic mid-range shot by looking back at the moon.

6: 2.

The Lakers attacked, Wang Chong received the pass from the mid-range, faced Marion's defense and hit a jump shot from the front.

6: 4.

……

At the beginning of the game, the offensive rhythm of the two teams was very fast.

The Suns themselves have a very fast offensive rhythm, and the Lakers have deployed a small-ball lineup to deal with the Suns, and the speed is not slow. The two sides are inextricably locked in the offensive battle.

But gradually, hitting and hitting, Taiyang realized that something was wrong.

Shall I wipe it? Why does it seem that the light attack is a bit inferior to the opponent?

At the beginning of the game, Kobe's hand felt a little cold, but as the game progressed, his efficiency gradually improved. At this stage, the Suns' main shooting guard is still Joe Johnson instead of Lagar Bell later.

In terms of career achievements, Joe Johnson, who has been selected to the All-Stars, the All-NBA Team, was the team boss in the Hawks, and could contribute 25+4+4 data at his peak, is definitely better than Laga Bell, who is positioned as a 3D player. .

But if we only focus on defensive ability, Lagar Bell is definitely far superior to Joe Johnson.

He was still too green to defend Kobe. After a little familiarity and adaptation, Kobe became accustomed to the Suns' tactical system that was full of offensive firepower but hardly defensive.

Compared with Kobe Bryant's scoring explosiveness, even if his offensive ability is as strong as the Suns, he still has to weigh it, not to mention the Lakers still have Wang Chong.

Kobe is suitable for playing in the fast-paced chaos of the Suns, and Wang Chong is not bad either. His offensive efficiency is too high, and his speed is not slow. Although his opponent, Shawn Marion, is also a striker who is good at defense. However, with the frequent transitions between offense and defense, there are rarely even opportunities for one-on-one confrontation.

Wang Chong gives full play to his advantages and basically shoots immediately after receiving the ball. Whether outside or inside the three-point line, frequent shots allow his golden rhythm badge to continuously add effect, and his shooting rate is also gradually increasing. Upgrading.

In the first quarter of the game, the Suns relied on their fast-paced offense and defense to score 27 points in a single quarter, while the Lakers scored 33 points in the first quarter.

The fans at the Suns' home court gradually realized something was wrong.

What is this ghost?

Obviously the rhythm of the game is completely under the control of the Suns, why do the Lakers score higher than the Suns?

After taking a closer look at the statistics, fans discovered the problem.

In the first quarter alone, Kobe Bryant and Wang Chong scored 12 points and 15 points respectively. Their combined scores can be compared with the entire Clippers team.

The Suns, who did not believe in evil, continued to attack the Lakers in the second quarter, but the result was still unsatisfactory.

Wang Chong rested for most of the second quarter, and Kobe Bryant's team continued to deal with the Suns. In the second quarter, Odom and Butler, who came on as Wang Chong's substitute, performed well, shooting 7 of 4 from the field. After scoring 10 points, 5 points on 3-of-9 shooting, and 6 points on 3-of-6 shooting by Kobe, the Lakers scored another 30 points in the second quarter and continued to tie with the Suns with 31 points.

<divclass="contentadv">At the end of the half, the Suns were at their home court and fully unleashed their offensive firepower, trailing the Lakers by 58 points 63:5.

This weird situation forced Suns head coach D'Antoni to adjust the tactical arrangements for the second half of the game during the halftime break.

But in the third quarter, Wang Chong, who had been sitting off the court to rest since the second half of the second quarter, came on the stage with plenty of energy.

At this time, his rhythm badge effect has been fully stacked, and Kobe is also sitting off the court to rest. Wang Chong is the Lakers' first offensive core on the court!

At this time, the sun has not yet realized what it will face next.

Marion is still marking Wang Chong.

Standing at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the three-point line, Wang Chong received Fisher's pass and without any fancy moves, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Marion was half a beat too slow to react and didn't have time to interfere with the shot immediately. The basketball went directly into the net.

"Shh-!"

Nowadays, although Wang Chong's main scoring method is concentrated in the mid-range, he is actually very accurate with three-pointers. After the overall ability value increased to 91, Wang Chong's three-pointer ability value also reached 90. In this era when three-pointers are not yet valued, the three-point shooting ability of 90 is already very high.

In addition, after completing the system tasks in the finals, after the hot zone hunter badge was upgraded from silver to gold level, the badge effect was improved, and the number of hot zones that can be lit increased from 3 to 6. Wang Chong also chose two. One of the hot zones outside the three-point line is the top arc of the three-point arc, and the other is the 45-degree angle to the left where he is currently.

With the blessing of the two gold-level badges of Entering the Rhythm and Hot Zone Hunter, the accuracy of the three-point shooting ability value of 90 is already quite impressive.

After being hit by Wang Chong for a three-pointer, Marion subconsciously moved forward on defense in the next round.

But Wang Chong also had a way to deal with this. Iverson's signature butterfly step and a fancy dribbling shook Marion's center of gravity. Wang Chong took the opportunity to rush into the penalty area and score a layup.

On the Suns bench, head coach D'Antoni felt restless.

Since the start of the third quarter, almost every offense of the Lakers has been carried out by Wang Chong, but the problem is that they can't stop Wang Chong from scoring. Even at this time, D'Antoni feels that Wang Chong is more terrifying than Kobe. Kobe's Although the offense is strong, at least it is not as strong as Wang Chong in terms of offensive efficiency!

Only 3 minutes into the third quarter, the Suns had to call a timeout and let Nash, who had just come off the court for a break, come on urgently.

There was no way, Wang Chong had scored 3 points in a row in 7 minutes, and the Lakers' lead directly expanded to more than double digits.

Nash returned to the court, and the effect was immediate. Although there was still no way to contain Wang Chong, who was hot on the defensive end, at least the Suns' offense was much smoother.

The scores of both sides began to increase steadily, but the Lakers always maintained a double-digit lead.

At 7 minutes and 34 seconds into the third quarter, Kobe was replaced and took over the Lakers' offense. Wang Chong did not leave the game, but continued to stay on the court to help Kobe gain space until there were 2 minutes left in the third quarter. At the end, he was replaced and took a rest.

王崇在第三节比赛打了10分钟，10投7中，其中三分球5投3中，罚球2中2，单节轰下17分！

After just three quarters of the game, he had already scored 36 points in the game!

15 points in the first quarter, 4 points in the second quarter, and 17 points in the third quarter!

Wang Chong's outburst was completely unexpected by the Suns, which directly led to the Suns trailing the Lakers by 79 points 90:11 after the third quarter.

The terrifying scoring ability made the Suns dare not neglect Wang Chong in the last quarter. Marion followed Wang Chong almost the whole time and was not even willing to touch the ball.

However, the large number of shots in the first three quarters of the game have almost exhausted Wang Chong's physical energy.

Wang Chong's current physical ability value is the same as that of the three-pointer, which is also 90. It is definitely not high among top stars, especially compared to a physical monster like Kobe who had a full physical strength of 99 in his peak period.

There is no way, who makes Durant's physical problems have always been one of his biggest weaknesses? Durant's peak physical ability value is only 92, which is not much better than Wang Chong at this stage.

Therefore, although Wang Chong played about 10 minutes in the fourth quarter and the entire game reached 40 minutes, he actually only took 3 shots in the fourth quarter, hitting 2 mid-range shots and scoring 4 points. Just reached 40 points.

Although Wang Chong didn't score much in the fourth quarter, because he was always on the court, he put a lot of defensive pressure on the Suns, causing the Suns to relax their focus on Kobe.

As a result, Kobe made 8 of 4 shots and 4 of 3 free throws in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 points. Including the scores in the first three quarters, he also scored 34 points.

Wang Chong and Kobe Bryant alone scored 74 points. In the end, the Suns failed to catch up with the score difference in the final quarter and ultimately lost the game 107:115.

In fact, the Suns played very well in this game. Stoudemire scored 33 points, Marion also scored 27 points, and Nash even had a double-double with 18 points and 16 assists. But who made them cheat? Wang Chong and Kobe?

When Wang Chong and Kobe are working hard at the same time, their scoring explosiveness is no less than that of the OK combination in their peak period. They are indeed quite strong, especially against a team like the Suns that only attacks but does not defend.

-

"With 40+ hits in a single game, Wang Chong shows his talent as a super scorer!"

"The Lakers' new dual-core combination performed strongly, scoring 78 points together to defeat the league's upstart Suns!"

This offensive battle between the Lakers and the Suns will definitely satisfy the appetite of most fans. What is more exciting than a gorgeous offensive battle and the ultimate individualistic victory?

This kind of game is definitely much better in terms of viewing value than a slow-paced and lifeless game like the Spurs vs. Pistons.

Of course, everyone has their own preferences, and some people just like to watch defensive battles, but after all, such hard-core fans only make up a very small number.

The Spurs' several finals are basically the series with the lowest ratings in the league's past finals. It's not without reason.

In the final analysis, the NBA league is still a business league. Considering commercialization, the increasingly faster pace of the game is an inevitable result of development. Therefore, the small ball era is only a matter of time for the NBA.

There will always be Curry fans bragging in the future, saying that Curry changed the league's style of play and created a new era. This statement is obviously unreasonable, because long before Curry, the Heat of the Big Three already had The prototype of a small ball lineup.

The rise of Curry has only accelerated the advent of the small ball era and made more league teams realize the importance of three-pointers in the game.

In the small ball era, there is no doubt about Curry's role and status, but describing it as the creation of the small ball era is still an exaggeration.

The topic has gone too far, let’s get back to the topic.

The new combination of Kobe Bryant and Wang Chong, with their strong performance in the new season, has continued to win games and is also gaining the love of a large number of fans.

Fans in China simply don’t like the Wang Chong + Kobe Bryant pairing too much. One is a Chinese-American and half compatriot, and the other is Kobe, who is said to have 60 billion fans in China in the future.

Some domestic fans have already named their partnership the Kewang Combination, and their support is even higher than that of the Yao-Mai combination that was also formed just this season.
