Chapter Eighty-Four: Random Mission, Long-distance Runner Talent Upgrade! (Fourth, ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass)
(Fourth, it's late, ask for a subscription monthly pass.) )
"Wang, who do you think is better at running than Richard?"
This is what head coach D'Antoni asked Wang Chao before the game.
At that time, Wang Chao was stunned, then hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know."
If you only consider the ability value, Wang Chao, who just reached 90 not long ago, thinks that there is still some gap between himself and Hamilton.
As a well-known physical monster in the league, Hamilton is notoriously good in physical strength, and although the longest season of his career playing time was only 38.5 minutes per game, his heavy off-ball running style is destined to cost him more physical energy than other shooting guards.
Wang Chao roughly estimates that based on Hamilton at his peak, his physical strength value is at least above 95, which may be slightly inferior to the peak Kobe, James and other physical monsters, but it is definitely not too bad.
Wang Chao's physical strength in his early 90s is definitely incomparable with Hamilton.
But what Wang Chao has is not only a physical ability value of 90, but also various talent skills on the Consciousness Space Talent Tree.
The talent of long-distance runners, it was because of this talent that Wang Chao thought of imitating Hamilton's way of playing.
With the blessing of long-distance runner talent, the longer Wang Chao runs on the field, the more physical strength and speed bonuses he gets, which is why he has an effect similar to Hamilton's immortality on the field.
Therefore, Wang Chao really doesn't think that he with the talent of a long-distance runner will definitely lose to Hamilton in this regard.
"Don't you know? I thought you'd say Hamilton was a better runner than you......"
D'Antoni smiled and said: "Regarding the next game against the Pistons, I have an idea to see if you are willing to try, why don't you go to the opposite side with Hamilton in this game and be responsible for defending the other side when the Pistons are attacking?" ”
"Let me defend Hamilton?"
Wang Chao was slightly stunned when he heard D'Antoni's words.
His defense, although now with the improvement of speed and other physical qualities, is not as bad as it was at the beginning, but it is definitely not excellent, on the one hand, Wang Chao's defensive ability value itself is not high, on the other hand, he really didn't think about the past to take defense seriously.
The Suns, who are already based on run-and-gun tactics, why should they worry about defense?
If the current Wang Chao has received a sky-high contract, fame and fortune, and the only goal of his career is to win the championship, then he will definitely try some ways to improve his defense and make his performance more perfect on the court.
But for the current Wang Chao, whether it is the goal of the system task or the fastest increase in his value, scoring is undoubtedly an easier choice to achieve the goal than defense.
He didn't expect that in this game, the manager would let him defend Hamilton.
One thing to say, it is not impossible to let Wang Chao defend Hamilton.
Although the Mask Man is a well-known undead runner in the league, in fact, his speed is not fast among guards, at most a little faster than Wang Chao, if he is outstanding enough in terms of speed, he will not choose to run without the ball as his main offensive mode, can hold the ball and break through the opponent in one step, who would be happy to run around like a madman all over the court?
And this little gap between Wang Chao and Hamilton, as he activates the long-distance runner buff effect, will immediately complete the overtake.
On the premise that he can keep up with Hamilton in terms of speed, it is really not much difficulty for Wang Chao to defend Hamilton.
Hamilton is 1.98 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.07 meters, facing Wang Chao with a 2.06 meter and an arm span of 2.18 meters, as long as Wang Chao raises his arms high, he doesn't even need to jump to cover most of the opponent's projection space.
Small and big need to rely on the advantage of speed, once there is no advantage in speed, the short side will definitely be at a disadvantage.
It was out of this consideration that D'Antoni wanted Wang Chao to keep an eye on Hamilton.
Raja. Bale's defensive ability is indeed outstanding, but just like the Spurs' Bowen defending Wang Chao, in the face of Hamilton, his effect on the defensive end is difficult to play, it is better to go off the line and let Wang Chao give it a try.
In addition to this one reason, in fact, D'Antoni himself also wants to see who can be better than Wang Chao and Hamilton, the two most capable people in the league.
……
Wang Chao agreed, so he started the game, replaced Dior, and completed the change of defense with Bale.
The 1.96-meter Bale occasionally defends some taller forwards than him, and after switching defenses with Wang Chao, his opponent is Pistons small forward Tysean. Prince.
Coincidentally, Prince and Wang Chao have similar body data, both of them are 2.06 meters tall, 2.18 meters of arm span, and their static talent is extremely outstanding, and their bodies are also thin, weighing less than 100 kilograms.
It's just that unlike Wang Chao, relying on this static talent, Prince has a good performance on the defensive end, has been selected to the best defensive team four times in his career, and can also contribute 14.7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game at his peak.
Obviously, the Pistons arranged Prince to defend Wang Chao, a difficult opponent on the offensive end, and they definitely didn't expect that the Suns would let Wang Chao defend Hamilton.
In the jump ball session, Pistons power forward Rashid. Wallace had a slight advantage in height and moved the basketball to his side before Stoudemire.
Players from both teams began to settle down quickly.
Hamilton habitually came to his favorite position to stand, and then he saw Wang Chao following and standing in front of him.
Sure enough, the Suns are ready to let Wang Chao defend themselves.
Hamilton thought to himself.
I'm afraid it's because Wang Chao is also one of the players who knows the most about running without the ball......
Glancing at Wang Chao, Hamilton had to sigh.
This kid...... That's high!
If he has the height of Wang Chao, his scoring ability may be able to go to a higher level.
The Pistons' first-round offense, initiated by Billups.
As one of the league's most underrated point guards, Billups is definitely in the top five in the league right now.
He has a strong body, outstanding tandem playmaking, and three-point shooting.
Billups basically has no obvious shortcomings on the court, and when he faces Nash, a well-known representative of the league's offensive strength and weak defense, he naturally does not hesitate to strike hard.
After a crotch dribble changed hands, Billups directly chose to force a break through Nash, who immediately stepped forward to defend, but was lightly bumped by the opponent and staggered half of his body.
Billups took the opportunity to go straight to the basket and end the offense with a throw.
2:0 start.
Come and don't be rude.
Nash, who suffered on the defensive end, immediately took advantage of his speed to score a low-handed layup past Billups.
……
Wang Chao and Hamilton were completely in a state of soy sauce in the first few rounds of the match.
But the way the two make soy sauce is a little unique.
Because from the first round, the two have been running.
While Billups was beating Nash with the ball, Hamilton was running around the edge of the three-point line.
And when Nash attacked with the ball, Wang Chao was also not idle.
The only difference between the two is that on Hamilton's side, Wang Chao is running with him, and when he switches to Wang Chao's side, it becomes Prince who follows Wang Chao on the court.
To tell the truth, after Prince ran with Wang Chao for two rounds, he looked at Wang Chao with his big Carslan eyes, as if to say: Big brother, otherwise you should be in line with Hamilton at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Hamilton's first goal came at 3:14 of the first quarter.
He suddenly ran back in the middle of the run, staggering his position with Wang Chao who was following him, and then the Pistons roared at Tianzun Rashid. Wallace suddenly crossed to block between Wang Chao and Hamilton, who finally got an open shot and slotted the ball into the net.
Hamilton, who had scored the goal, did not have the slightest sense of excitement or joy in his heart.
Because as early as a minute ago, Wang Chao had already scored a goal one step ahead of him, and Hamilton hit a mid-range shot, but Wang Chao threw in three points.
Hamilton knew very well that scoring this shot was just the beginning of the battle between him and Wang Chao.
Players like them, who mainly play without the ball, are generally slow to heat up on the field, and as the game progresses, the distance becomes more, and it is difficult for the opponent's defenders to keep up with them is when they show their real strength.
With less than five minutes to go, that amount of distance is not even a warm-up for Hamilton.
"That kid, he runs a little more distance than me, can he really hold on for a while?"
Hamilton looked at Wang Chao and couldn't help but think so.
Wang Chao needs to run with Hamilton on the defensive end, and he has to walk Prince on the offensive end, on the other hand, Hamilton, as long as he follows Bell to the bottom corner of the defensive end, he basically doesn't have to move.
In other words, Wang Chao actually ran a lot more distance than him.
Hamilton really doesn't believe that Wang Chao can run better than him?
However, he didn't notice the brighter and brighter light in the other party's eyes.
At this time, Wang Chao was extremely excited in his heart.
Because just a few minutes ago, he suddenly heard that voice that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Ding - Trigger random quests, talent upgrades."
"Player Wang Chao, in this game met the off-ball running master player Richard. Hamilton, please lead the team to defeat the opponent, and at the same time score more than 10 points in this game, and achieve the mission goal, the long-distance runner talent will be upgraded, and the bonus effect will be increased. ”
After nearly two months since Barkley's bet, Wang Chao finally heard the cold-sounding but very pleasant voice of the system.
Mission! The long-lost mission is here! And it's also a talent upgrade mission!
Wang Chao has a deep understanding of the effect of the talent of long-distance runners, it is really easy to use, but he didn't expect this talent to be upgraded?
Wang Chao doesn't know what buff effect will be added if the long-distance runner's talent is upgraded, but it will definitely make him even better on the field!
That's why he played harder on the field.
The difficulty of the task given by the system is not small, one requires to win the game, and the other requires Wang Chao's score to be 10 points higher than Hamilton.
It's good to say that winning the game is the second requirement.
Hamilton is the Pistons' main scorer, although the game has only scored two points in more than three minutes, but as the game deepens, he is bound to start to exert force.
Not to mention that even if Hamilton gets an average of 20 points this season, according to the requirements of the system, Wang Chao will have to cut at least 30 points to achieve the mission goal.
Therefore, Wang Chao must not only score as much as possible on the offensive end, but also stare at Hamilton on the defensive end and not let the opponent score easily!
"For the system reward! Fight! ”
The Pistons attacked, and Hamilton started his coquettish move.
Starting from a 45-degree angle to the left of the three-point line, Hamilton ran straight around the three-point line to the bottom corner and then slipped to the bottom corner of the other side.
When passing under the basket, Ben. Wallace suddenly stepped out of his body and blocked between Wang Chao and Hamilton.
At this time, the alliance is still relatively strong for mobile blocking and dismantling blows. Wallace didn't dare to move at all when he blocked the demolition, and only blocked Wang Chao for a moment.
Taking advantage of the few free moments, Hamilton made his way to the bottom corner of the right corner from the three-point line, received a pass from a teammate, and shot straight away.
Although Hamilton is known as the king of mid-range shooting, he actually has a basket for three-point shooting, especially last season, when the three-point shooting rate even reached 45%, but the number of shots was not much, with an average of only 1.5 shots per game.
This season, Hamilton's accuracy from beyond the three-point line has declined, but he still has a certain crosshairs in the open space.
It's just that at the moment when Hamilton was about to make a move, his pupils shrank slightly, because in his vision, a figure, or a pair of arms raised high, appeared.
It's Wang Chao!
Just by Ben. Wallace blocked and stopped Wang Chao for a moment, and he had already caught up.
Hamilton gritted his teeth and flicked the basketball to the basket.
It's just that when the basketball flew, it was rubbed by Wang Chao's fingertips.
"Damn it!"
In the face of Wang Chao's height and arm span, he still suffered too much.
"Bang ——!"
The trajectory of the basketball that was rubbed was destroyed, and it bounced off the basket with a heavy bang, and then it was stuck in the main book. Wallace's Stoudemire took him into his arms.
Hamilton was still annoyed that his shot was interfered with, but after a moment of stunned kung fu, Wang Chao standing in front of him was gone.
He turned his head in astonishment, only to see that Wang Chao had already rushed towards the front court non-stop.
Aggro!
After Stoudemire grabbed the rebound, he passed the basketball directly to Nash, who was not far away.
The Suns' best 7-second break is here!
From the start of the attack to the end, it took less than 7 seconds.
Nash dribbled across the halfcourt, and it took nearly 4 seconds for him to come to the three-point line and directly choose to break through with the ball, accelerate and shake the center of gravity of Billups, who was still retreating, in disguise, and rushed straight to the basket.
The attention of the Pistons' retreating players was all drawn to Nash, who had already rushed to the basket and threw the basketball in his hand to the outside.
Wang Chao, who ran all the way to the three-point position in the bottom right corner, received a pass from Nash and jumped out after a little adjustment.
Hamilton, who had been stunned for a moment, arrived in time and also raised his hand to interfere.
But the gap became apparent at once.
Wang Chao defended Hamilton, jumped slightly, and rubbed the opponent's shot.
can be switched to Wang Chao's side to shoot, Hamilton jumped with all his strength, but his hand only just reached the position of Wang Chao's forearm.
Wang Chao didn't look at Hamilton in front of him, and shot directly.
"Brush!"
Hamilton looked back at the basket and watched the basketball swipe into the frame with disbelief.
Although his defense is a little slower, it is definitely in place, but it is just because of the height difference between the two, there is no way to block.
Wang Chao can actually hit a three-point shot against his defense?
Hamilton, of course, couldn't fathom the gold of a 99-toned three-pointer.
If it weren't for the fear that Langtou would lose his impression score in front of the head coach, Wang Chao could directly pull out his shot when facing a defender less than 2 meters tall, even if the opponent's defense would affect his shooting rate, under the super high attribute value of 99 interfered three-point shooting and the bonus of the sharpshooter's talent shooting rate, Wang Chao is also sure to maintain his three-point shooting rate at least 35%.
Of course, a 35% three-point shooting rate is nothing, but what Wang Chao said was to force a shot against the opponent's defense.
And the 35% three-point shooting rate, if converted into a two-point shot, can already be on par with the 50% two-point efficiency value, which is definitely not a disadvantage in this era.
"Hoo ——!"
Throwing this shot, Wang Chao breathed a long sigh of relief.
In these two rounds, his running frequency was a little too high, not only chasing Hamilton to prevent the opponent's three-pointer, but also following Nash to play a fast attack non-stop, and he didn't even have time to breathe.
But it's clear that it's worth it.
One offense and one defense, he managed to keep Hamilton out of the scoring and scored another three points himself.
He is one step closer to the mission goal!
