NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 32 The end of the regular season

The March schedule is not very difficult for the Suns. Most of the games in the first half are played in Phoenix, the home of the Suns. The only relatively strong opponents are the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks. Several teams.

Therefore, in the first half of the month, the Suns can still maintain a relatively high winning rate. The two games with the Spurs have 1 win and 1 loss.

However, as the end of the month approached, the Suns still encountered an unfriendly schedule.

From March 3 to April 27, the Suns ushered in a wave of 4 consecutive away games against the Nets, Bucks, Pacers, Raptors and Pistons.

These teams are not easy to deal with. The Pistons are the team with the best record in the East, and their wins are comparable to or even slightly better than the Spurs. It is a team hovering on the edge of the playoffs. Every game is a battle of life and death for them. Such a team is even more difficult than the Pistons and Nets.

Among them, the Raptors are probably the team with the lowest record and a little easier to deal with.

After 5 consecutive away games, all the members of the Suns were exhausted and exhausted, and finally only achieved a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

But this wave of five consecutive customers has become an opportunity for Wang Chao.

In order to prevent the players from accumulating too much fatigue-induced injuries, D'Antoni reduced the playing time of the main starters, and the corresponding substitute players played more.

Wang Chao played more than 28 minutes in each of the five games, and even served as the team's starter again in two games.

The increased playing time and possession allowed Wang Chao to average 17 points and 2 rebounds per game in five games, and his three-point shooting percentage can always be maintained above 50%, which can always ensure a very high efficiency value.

Throughout March, in the 3 games played by Wang Chao, his average per game has gradually risen to 17 points and 16.2 rebounds.

This scoring average is beyond everyone's expectations, because this score can already rank third in the Suns team, second only to Marion, who averaged 21 points per game, and Nash, who averaged 18.8 points per game.

Almost 80% of Wang Chao's scoring came from three-pointers. Now all the teams in the league know that Wang Chao's three-pointers are very accurate, and they will strictly guard him.

But after doing this, they will be shocked to find that Wang Chao's three-pointer seems not so easy to defend.

First of all, Wang Chao's height of 2 meters is already among the best among small forwards. Coupled with his wingspan of 06 meters, it is difficult for a slightly shorter striker to block his shots.

Secondly, since he optimized his shooting movements and acquired the talent of a quick shooter, Wang Chao's shooting speed has reached above the average level of the league's first-line shooters, and the shooting speed of the entire league can be faster than him Players can probably count on one hand.

Then there is Wang Chao's three-point shooting ability value, especially the disturbed three-point shooting of 99, which makes his shooting percentage ridiculously high.

The last and most important point is that during this month, Wang Chao has been learning and researching running without the ball, and at the same time he has not stopped training in physical fitness.

As of the end of March, the 3 bottles of stamina potions that the system previously rewarded Wang Chao have all been used up, and his ability value has also made a small improvement.

The most obvious of these is the ability value of open mid-range shots. Just like Wang Chao himself said before, you can't only shoot three-pointers, at least you must have a certain deterrent effect on mid- and long-range shots.

For the past month, Wang Chao has practiced mid-range shooting every day, and has increased his training with the talent of a sharpshooter. Now he has successfully trained his open mid-range shooting ability to 88. A lot of mid-range shooting practice also brings general luck. The mid-range shots after the ball and the ability values ​​​​of the mid-range shots that were disturbed also improved a few points respectively.

In addition, Wang Chao's extensive physical training has also yielded initial results. His lowest speed has grown the most, and now it has reached 74. He has finally reached the 70 mark, and his agility is 79. As for running without the ball, the most required physical strength is also Just hit 80 just right.

Wang Chao's current overall rating has reached 54, which is still very weak, but compared to when he first came, his overall rating has increased by 2 points.

It took Wang Chao nearly two months for this 2-point general rating. If calculated according to this, adding 1 point of total rating per month, Wang Chao can increase his overall rating of ability by 12 points a year, from 54 to 99 full-value general rating. It's just less than 4 years or so.

Of course, the ability value cannot be calculated in this way.

In the recent training, Wang Chao has gradually noticed that with the increase of ability value, the speed of improvement is also gradually slowing down, the most obvious of which is the open mid-range shot that has reached 88.

As early as half a month ago, his open mid-range shot had been raised to 86. At that time, Wang Chao was full of confidence, thinking that he could raise this ability to 90 in half a month. In the past, it was just a two-point increase from 86 to 88.

It's already so difficult before it reaches 90, and it's still in the case of the extra training time of the stamina potion plus the experience bonus of the marksman talent.

Wang Chao can fully imagine that once the ability value reaches above 90, each level of improvement may require an unimaginably massive amount of training to achieve.

"Can't the system do some more tasks to speed up the efficiency of my training and progress? Or just give me another 99 full-value upgrade like a three-pointer?"

He complained like this, but Wang Chao also knew that relying on others is worse than relying on himself. The system has provided him with a good start and platform, and he also needs to work hard to make these completely his own, just like the system gives him. His three-point shooting ability also requires Wang Chao to use his brain to change his shooting posture and learn off-ball running skills to maximize it.

It would be better if there are system tasks that can speed up his progress and become stronger, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have them. With such steady training, he can also take root in the NBA.

……

After the end of March, the NBA regular season is equivalent to entering the final end.

The Suns only have the last 4 games left in April. Given that the team is currently ranked second in the Western Conference, the Suns are not particularly important to the outcome of the next 10 games. At the same time, let the main players rest as much as possible, and reserve more physical energy to cope with the cruel playoffs.

In the final 10 games, the Suns achieved a record of 4 wins and 6 losses.

随着4月19日，太阳队在客场106：96战胜波特兰开拓者，太阳队常规赛正式结束，战绩也定格在55胜27负上。

This record ranks fourth in the league, second only to the three 60-win teams of the Pistons, Spurs and Mavericks.
