Chapter 259: Atlanta

The Rockets, who had just won their first win of the season, began their first back-to-back of the season under the leadership of coach McHale, taking on the Atlanta Hawks on the road.

On the flight to Atlanta, Gao Dazhuang once again took out that magical second-hand mobile phone and entered the "Basketball Miracle" game:

30 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnover

Result: Victory

The event level coefficient is 5

Score over 30: +10%

The overall score is 209 points

This is the stats from the last game of Tall and Strong, and the stats for Tall and Strong in the whole game are:

Character "Amazing" Level 5:

Duplicate Box (Han Chao), Duplicate Box (Qin Hansheng), Duplicate Box (Philip Champion Hot Sauce), Duplicate Box (KyrieAndrew Irving), Copy Box (Damian Lillard)

+15% Strength, +15% Speed, +10% Jump, +18% Hit, +10% Stamina, +10% Vision

The total number of points is 3034 points

After the first win in the NBA, Gao Dazhuang's usable points in the "Basketball Miracle" game reached more than 3,000 points again, although in the first game, Gao Dazhuang can be said to play quite well, but Gao Dazhuang himself knows that excellent play is based on his high shooting percentage, and he can't have such a feeling every night.

Gao Dazhuang once scanned his teammate James Harden in the locker room through the "Basketball Miracle" game, and Gao Dazhuang found that Harden's value displayed in the game was: 3650, and his value actually got some improvement after playing the first game, it can be said that there is indeed a real gap between Gao Dazhuang and Harden at this time.

"I need to get stronger" Through the first game of the NBA, Gao Dazhuang realized that with his current strength, he can gain a foothold in the NBA, but it is no longer the goal of being tall and strong in the NBA, and he needs to become stronger, especially in the environment of very fierce competition within the Rockets.

"Upgrading will cost 1600 points, is it going to be upgraded?"

"Yes" Tall and Strong pressed the confirmation button without hesitation, he needed to increase the level of the characters in the "Basketball Miracle" game to open a new copy box.

A mechanical sound sounded in the ears of Gao Dazhuang, and the character "amazing" in the game on the screen of his mobile phone changed to level 6.

At this time, not only is there a blank duplicate bar in the game again, but five skill points have reappeared: in addition to the ability to choose from six aspects of strength, speed, bounce, hit, physical fitness, and vision, a new enhancement item "recovery" has been added.

"Recovery?" Tall and strong know through the game hints that it is a recovery from a sports injury.

Although I still don't know much about this recovery enhancement project, Gao Dazhuang, who has experienced injuries, still chose this new enhancement project first, because the physical confrontation in competitive sports is fierce, and it is inevitable that there will be injuries of all sizes, the NBA is the highest temple of basketball, the intensity of the game is self-evident, the injury is fiercer than the tiger, how many players fell in front of it, and how many geniuses were destroyed by him, which makes people regret in vain.

Yao Ming, Maddie, Iverson, Carter, Roy, Hill, etc., too many talented athletes have fallen due to injuries, and it is obvious that this strengthening program is quite important, and of course Tall and Strong will not let it go.

"Ding" A mechanical voice sounded in the ears of the tall man: "Restore to gain a 10% bonus".

"The rest of the options are bounce, stamina, vision, and hits" hits are always the most important things for Tall Strong, because that can be converted into direct combat power, if it is not for the halving of the effect, Tall and Strong is eager to use all the enhanced skill points to improve the hit rate.

"Ding, Ding, Ding" mechanical sounds again: "5% buff for bounce", "5% boost for stamina, 5% boost for vision", "2% boost for hits".

Once the upgrade is complete, the Basketball Miracle game screen shows:

Character "Amazing" Level 6:

Duplicate Box (Han Chao), Duplicate Box (Qin Hansheng), Duplicate Box (Philip Champion Hot Sauce), Duplicate Box (KyrieAndrew Irving), Copy Box (Damian Lillard), Copy Mine (Blank)

+15% Strength, +15% Speed, +15% Jump, +20% Hit, +15% Stamina, +15% Vision, +10% Recovery

The total number of points is 1434 points

Located in the eastern part of the United States, located on a plateau in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at an altitude of 350 meters, Atlanta is one of the three major highland cities in the United States, as well as the capital and largest industrial and commercial city of Georgia in the United States.

The first game of the season made Gao Dazhuang a little nervous, Gao Dazhuang's impression of Detroit was only in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, but with the first win of the season in Atlanta, Gao Dazhuang's mood relaxed a lot, and he even had time to visit CNN headquarters with his teammate Patterson.

Home to the Atlanta Hawks, Phillips Arena was built in 1999 and has a capacity of 18,729 spectators.

The Hawks, who joined the league in 1949, are one of the 17 oldest teams in the NBA, and have been hovering in the middle of the Eastern Conference in the last decade, stopping in the Eastern Conference semifinals several times, and facing the Magic team led by "Warcraft" Dwight Howard in the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2011, the Hawks almost did not show resistance and lost, losing by an average of 25 points per game.

Former "Hawks" Joe Johnson's poor performance in this series caused many fans to dislike, but in the end the Hawks kept the All-Star player on a six-year, $119 million contract, but in April of this year, the Hawks finally lost faith in the core player and traded him to the Nets.

Now the Hawks' new "King of Eagles" is the team's power forward Josh Smith, Josh Smith's dunk is very much like an eagle flying with wings spread, he glides in the air extremely stretched, and the dunk is full of violent aesthetics.

Since being drafted by the Hawks in the first round of the NBA Draft in 2004 as No. 17, Josh Smith has gone from being a dunk-only slam to one of the league's most versatile swing guards.

Smith is one of the league's top offensive players, he likes to shoot and shoot from either side, and he can make the most of his athleticism, so he can often score on the heads of defenders who are taller than him, and this aggression also leads to fouls from time to time.

Smith is also one of the NBA's best young defensive specialists, and few in the league have contributed as much as he has in chasing defense and preventing transitions.

The 28-year-old Josh Smith is averaging 17.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. It is worth mentioning that there are only two players in the league today who can average more than 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, one is James, and the other is Josh Smith.

The Eagles are full of talent right now, with a lot of very young and talented players.

One such is center Al Horford, who was picked by the Hawks with the third pick in the first round of the 2007 draft, and has great strength, solid fundamentals, confrontation under the basket, and unlimited potential.

The best thing about Horford is his mid-range shot, which is very resolute when he shoots, and his arc and shooting point are very good.

Of course, it is also inseparable from their nimble point guard Jeff Teague, who was selected by the Hawks in the first round in 2009 and was promoted to the starting lineup in the 11th season after the Hawks' starting point guard Kirk Hinrich missed the playoffs against the Bulls with a knee injury.

Facing the new MVP Derrick Rose, Teague proved himself with an excellent performance, averaging 11.8 points and 3.5 assists per game, shooting 51.4%, and becoming the Hawks' scoring champion in many games, fully demonstrating his strength.

The other two players the Hawks started were shooting guard Devin Harris and small forward Kyle Korver.

Devin Harris is a very fast guard, especially with his first moves, often leaving defenders behind as soon as he starts, while Kyle Korver is a very good shooter and consistently ranks among the best in the league in three-point shooting.

The Rockets' starting lineup is still center Asik, power forward Patterson, small forward Parsons, shooting guard Harden and point guard Jeremy Lin.

It seems that this lineup is the best starting lineup in the mind of Rockets coach McHale, and the tall and strong man who performed amazingly in the last game is still pressed on the bench.

However, the tall man sitting on the bench was in a much calmer mood at the moment, as long as his strength could continue to improve, nothing could stop him from moving forward.
