Chapter 327: Danny. Green: Foul Wang Chao hit my hand painfully!
Wang Chao's breakthrough speed with the ball is too fast, in Guy's opinion, both the agility and the instantaneous explosive speed are not inferior to any defender in the league, and it is even difficult to find a few players in the current league whose speed can be comparable to Wang Chao.
What's even more exaggerated is that Wang Chao is not only amazingly fast, but also has a strong strength and confrontation after breaking through.
Guy's strength is already a very strong type among small forwards, but the moment he comes into contact with Wang Chao, he will still be knocked back and unstable.
With both speed and strength, Wang Chao's ability to break through with the ball has reached the top level in the history of the league, and he can't defend at all by relying on one-on-one single defense!
Seeing Wang Chao easily pass Guy in one step, Butler subconsciously immediately gave up the player who was marking and moved in the direction of Wang Chao, and at the same time, Howard on the inside line also stared at the direction of Wang Chao, ready to meet the opponent at any time.
In just a short moment, the Spurs have formed a triangle of Wang Chao!
Guy who was left behind, Butler who came over on the wing, and Howard who guarded the basket.
At this moment, Wang Chao has a variety of options, the simplest is of course to pass the ball to Murray, who is vacated by Butler on the outside, or Gobert, who is already moving towards the basket on the inside.
But instead of passing, he rushed to the basket with the ball, as if he were carrying a bag of explosives.
The speed and explosiveness of thunder made Wang Chao rush to the free throw line in the blink of an eye, and at the same time he jumped with the ball and jumped directly against Howard.
At this time, Butler and Guy had already rushed to the scene, and when they saw Wang Chao jumping high, the two of them jumped together, including Howard in front of Wang Chao, and the three of them almost shrouded all of Wang Chao's offensive routes, which was impenetrable!
It should have been like this, under the sandwich of the three, Wang Chao really didn't have any angle to shoot, and forcing a shot would only be blocked by the opponent.
But the three Howards, who were thinking like this in their hearts, found that Wang Chao in the air did not have the slightest tendency to fall, but instead rose a little in height during this short period of time, and at the same time, Howard and the others had already begun to fall uncontrollably because they could not get rid of gravity.
The four of them jumped almost at the same time, and even Wang Chao's jump was slightly earlier than the other three, but when the three of them were about to land, he still stayed in the air, as if he could fly.
After showing the historical level of speed and explosiveness, Wang Chao continued to show them the historical level of bouncing and air stuckness.
The Skywalk talent increases a player's ability to stay in the air while reducing the negative effects of a player's shot after losing their balance in the air.
Wang Chao, who was in the air, threw a very difficult low-hand throw and sent the basketball into the basket lightly.
"Shh——!h
This classic one-on-three picture is constantly played back in slow motion on the main screen of the stadium, allowing the fans present to constantly experience the details and skills contained in Wang Chao's attack.
Although it was not a powerful and domineering dunk, the Nuggets home fans still gave Wang Chao warm applause.
This ball is so beautiful!
"Damn, Wang Chao."
Howard crossed his waist and shook his head helplessly, as Wang Chao's partner in the Magic team's three consecutive championships, one of the dual cores of the super magic combination, Howard is very aware of Wang Chao's strength, but for Wang Chao's physical fitness is still so strong, he can freely display his talent on the field, after all, it still makes Warcraft feel a little sour.
The ball just now, if it was Howard in his prime, he would have been confident to defend it, after all, he can't jump as high as he used to be.
It's just that as a player who participated in the draft and entered the NBA in the same year, Howard, a high school student, is two years younger than Wang Chao, but now he has lost his bounce and explosiveness due to age and injury accumulation, but Wang Chao seems to be getting better, and his physical fitness is even stronger than that of the Magic team.
You must know that Wang Chao, who was born in 1983, is now about to turn 35, why can he still maintain such a good state? And in Howard's memory, Wang Chao seems to have never been injured, as if King Kong is not bad, which even James, who is recognized as having the top level body in history, has never done.
Howard was called a Warcraft at his peak, and this nickname is the greatest compliment to his physical fitness, so now Wang Chao, who looks more like a Warcraft than him, says that he has no idea is false.
It's just that Wang Chaocai doesn't care how complicated Howard's heart is, the steel and iron talent ensures that he can use his talent on the field to his heart's content, or that sentence, as long as no one carries a gun to give him a set of American-style living on the field, he will definitely not be too seriously injured, in this case, what is there to be afraid of?
When it came to the Spurs' turn, unlike the Nuggets, who could rely on Wang Chao's offense to have the league's upper-average offensive ability, the Spurs' offense was very inefficient and outdated.
After some complicated tactical running, Butler, who received the ball outside the three-point line, successfully got the opportunity to misplace and single Mitchell.
However, Mitchell, who is 1.85 meters tall, seems to be very different from Butler who is 2.01 meters, but his arm span of 2.08 meters is beyond Butler's reach.
Butler, who is 2.01 meters tall, has an arm span of only 2.02 meters, which is far below the league average, which is one of the important reasons why Butler has been looked down upon since the beginning of the draft.
Mitchell, who is much less tall than Butler, has an arm span that is 6 centimeters taller than Butler, which makes him work wonders when defending Butler.
Even Butler didn't expect that Mitchell's long hands were so difficult, and he was almost cut off by the opponent in the process of breaking through with the ball, and chose to make a quick stop jump shot after hastily closing the ball, but because the preparation was too hasty, the shot missed the frame.
Standing under the basket, Howard tried to scramble for an offensive rebound, but Gobert, who was holding him in front of him, couldn't get him.
Originally, Howard didn't take Gobert seriously at all, Howard, who has been in the league for many years, has three championships and the best defensive player trophy, and his status among centers in the league today is unrivaled, not to mention compared to a blue-collar center like Gobert who was just a bench player last season.
But in the real fight, Howard found that this rookie is quite difficult, although his athleticism and confrontation ability are relatively poor, but he is very sensitive to the landing point of the rebound, and more importantly, his height of 2.16 meters and his arm span of 2.35 meters make him easy to grab rebounds even if there is almost no jumping.
Gobert, who took off the rebound, did not pause at all, and threw the ball directly in the direction of Wang Chao.
At this time, Wang Chao was already sprinting in the direction of the Spurs' backcourt, jumping high to receive Gobert's pass, Wang Chao immediately drove at full speed and ran wildly towards the Spurs' basket.
The Spurs belong to a typical positional team, the overall mobility is slow, and there are only a few outside players who can keep up with Wang Chao's speed, Butler, who has just participated in the offensive shot, has been half a beat slower, and Guy can't keep up with Wang Chao's speed at all, and the only player who can return to defense in time is Danny. Green and Mills are just two people, and these two people, one is 1.83 meters and the other is 1.98 meters, and they can't stop Wang Chao, who has already sprinted up to complete the acceleration.
Green, who retreated quickly all the way, stopped at the free throw line, because he knew that continuing to retreat would definitely not stop Wang Chao.
"In this case, you can only foul!"
The game has just begun, and Green knows very well that he can't give Wang Chao a continuous scoring or even violent dunk offense, which will completely boost the morale of the Nuggets.
Thinking of this, Green immediately made a decision, rushed up and slammed it towards Wang Chao's arm.
"I'm afraid!"
The crisp sound was accompanied by the referee's almost synchronized whistle.
This time, Green was riveting his strength, and he was rushing to give Wang Chao a ruthless blow and destroy his feel as much as possible.
A slap hit Wang Chao's arm with a solid dribble.
As we all know, the effect of force is mutual, as long as it is not used to hit the opponent's weakest position with a fist, then the effect on both sides is almost the same.
Green, who used all the strength to feed, only felt that his palms were numb instantly, and for a while, he couldn't feel any sensation except for the feeling of crispiness and numbness, and he couldn't help but gasp when he stopped and looked at his palms, because his palms had turned red rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even had a faint feeling of swelling.
Thanks to his slam blow, Wang Chao did not be able to play 2+1, and for Green, it is definitely not a loss to lose a foul that successfully destroyed Wang Chao's almost certain attack.
However, when he saw Wang Chao who stopped, he shook his arm, and with an expression like no one, he walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws steadily, and Green was a little bad.
"What the hell? Doesn't this guy hurt? ”
When Wang Chao started to make free throws, the pain came like a tide, making Green feel as if countless ants were crawling and gnawing on his palms, and the sourness could not be described in words.
It stands to reason that the skin of the palm part of the hand is rougher, especially for basketball players who need to touch basketball and training equipment every day, it must be more resistant than the skin of the arm.
Green's palm is still so painful, it stands to reason that Wang Chao's arm should also hurt to death.
At first, Green thought that Wang Chao was pretending to be calm, but after two steady free throws, he felt that the other party really didn't have much reaction to this foul, and he couldn't help but doubt his life.
Green, of course, could not understand the gold content of the upgraded version of the steel bone.
Caught off guard, did Wang Chao hurt or not? Of course, the answer is also quite painful, but it just felt a little painful when he was first beaten, and he immediately lost his feeling after a little rubbing, after all, if he can't even stand a slap, how can this talent protect Wang Chao from injury?
Wang Chao was like a nobody, but it was Green, who took the initiative to foul, who was affected.
In the next round, the Spurs attacked, and through tactical running and passing, Green successfully got a chance to shoot from outside the three-point line.
The basketball came over immediately, and Green, who was standing outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, just received the pass and couldn't help but grin his teeth.
The ball was passed a little harder, and Green felt like he had been salted into the wound as he touched the ball with his palm.
The opportunity was rare, and although it hurt a little, Green immediately adjusted his posture and bent his knees to shoot a jumper.
The basketball slashes a perfect parabola in the air, and then falls straight off the court with a three-prong.
Greene: "......"
Although he was later nicknamed Zhang Tielin by many Chinese fans, he was even called Huang Ama directly, because as a 3D player, he always played iron in three points.
But even if he is jokingly called and ridiculed, Green is an excellent shooter with a career three-point shooting rate of more than 40% after all, and his foothold in the NBA is defense and three-point shooting.
On the Spurs bench, Popovich frowned.
Both the Nuggets and Spurs have been teams that have taken defense as their base this season, and winning depends on defense.
But when the two teams meet head-on, the Nuggets' defense can still limit the Spurs' offense, but when they switch to the Spurs, they have nothing to do with Wang Chao's individual singles.
In the first few rounds of the game, Wang Chao didn't even call a block and dismantle cover, only with his super personal offensive ability, he scored a stable score in the Spurs' multi-person chase and interception, on the other hand, the Spurs, until about 2 minutes into the game, finally got the first score of the game, and it was Butler's free throw score after breaking through the foul with the ball.
Under the defense of the Nuggets, the Spurs' offense is extremely unsmooth, and the defensive player directly opposite Butler is the defensive titan PJ Tucker, who needs to be covered by his teammates without the ball to form a misplaced opportunity, but the dislocation is still not dominant against Mitchell, and he can make a slight comparison when facing Murray, but just like the Spurs' defense against Wang Chao includes assistance defense, the Nuggets also have assistance defense tactics against Butler, and Wang Chao and Tucker's mobility and support ability are not inferior to Butler.
As a result, Butler's offensive ability was greatly affected in the first quarter of the game, shooting less than 40% from the field and scoring only six points in the first quarter.
Butler couldn't do it, and the rest of the Spurs couldn't do it, and it was thanks to Ginobili who came off the bench and hit two shots from beyond the three-point line, which helped the Spurs make a little difference on the offensive end, but even so, when the first quarter ended, the score between the two teams still came to 26:16.
Although neither team scored more than 30 points, which is inefficient in a league where the average points per game continues to climb with the advent of the small-ball era, the Nuggets still easily took a double-digit lead because of Wang Chao.
