NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 43 Isn't this guy tired from running?

When Wang Chao came on the stage, there were only 2 minutes left in the third quarter and the game was about to end.

Taking advantage of the gap at the end of the third quarter, Wang Chao made another three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

In this quarter of the game, the Suns scored 37 points in a single quarter, not only catching up with the point difference, but also entering the fourth quarter with a 2-point advantage.

Clippers power forward Brand was really crazy in this game.

He scored 11 points in the first quarter, 12 points in the second quarter, and scored another 5 points on 5 of 11 shots in the third quarter. Before the start of the fourth quarter, his personal score had reached 34 points and 7 rebounds.

After entering the fourth quarter, Brand continued his fiery state, frequently scored at the basket, and ravaged the entire inside of the Suns with his own strength.

It's just that no matter how efficient Brand is in scoring, it still can't hide the Clippers' gradual defeat in the fourth quarter.

Wang Chao successfully ran over the 3km mark in the fourth quarter, activating the second effect of the long-distance runner. Not only did he recover part of his exhausted physical energy, but he also ran faster than before on the field!

This is the bonus effect of 5% running speed in the second layer of long-distance runner talent.

At this time, the player defending Wang Chao has changed from Quinton Ross to forward Corey Maggette, who is in better condition, but the latter also looks confused when facing Wang Chao as if running in a marathon. If he was slower, Wang Chao ran out of the open space.

Maggette is only 1 meters tall, and Wang Chao, who is 98 meters tall, only needs to run a little bit of space, which is enough for him to shoot calmly.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Chao's three-pointer broke out and was out of control, scoring 8 points in a single quarter on 4 of 12 shots.

最终，全场比赛22投18中，以夸张的81.8%命中率砍下40分9篮板3助攻的布兰德，只能无奈眼睁睁的看着球队输掉这场比赛。

At 130:123, the Suns won a good start at home, making a good start for the second round of the divisional semifinals.

Nash played the best on the Suns team. Facing Cassell's less tough defense, he made 15 of 10 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, 9 of 8 free throws, and scored 31 points and 12 assists.

Of course, for Kassel, Nash's defense is also not oppressive. The latter made 19 of 10 shots and 8 of 7 free throws. He also scored 28 points, but Kassel only sent 4 points in the whole game. assists, a far cry from Nash.

Wang Chao is the second highest scoring player of the Suns in this game. The whole game can be described as frenzied and crazy running without the ball, which gave Wang Chao a lot of outside three-point shots. He made 17 of 10 three-pointers. Get 30 points.

Wang Chao's playing time in this game is actually not particularly long, a total of less than 26 minutes. However, in these 26 minutes, his running distance is faster than that of shooting guard La Jia who played a full 45 minutes. Bell much more!
30 points in a single game is a new high in Wang Chao's career. He can score 30 points in a game like the playoffs, and even many stars in the league can't do it.

And Wang Chao's ability to make 17 three-pointers in a game also amazed many people.

With 10 three-pointers in a single game, he has broken the record of three-pointers in a single game in the NBA playoffs. This record was 9 times before. Wang Chao also became the first player in league history to hit double digits in a single game in the playoffs Three point player.

This record is actually quite exaggerated. Even in the fast-paced era of small balls that emphasize three-pointers in the future, the number of three-pointers made more than 10 times in a single game has only appeared three times.

As for the peak battle of Ray Allen's career, he scored 51 points in a single game and hit 9 three-pointers until the 09 playoffs.

This shows how high the gold content of Wang Chao's 10 three-pointers in a single quarter of the playoffs at this time is.

After the game, Quinton Rose and Corey Maggette, who were in charge of defending Wang Chao during the game, said that defending Wang Chao is like running a marathon, as long as Wang Chao is on the court and the Suns attack In the second round, he didn't make it through at all, and the two sides didn't even care about any physical contact and confrontation.

"Wang Chao reminds me of Richard Hamilton. The offense that is running all the time is too difficult to defend. More importantly, Wang Chao's three-pointers are as accurate as Hamilton's mid-range shots. Even more accurate than the latter."

The above is the evaluation of Wang Chao by the head coach of the Clippers, Mike Dunleavy.

Obviously, after this game, Wang Chao's defensive level in the Clippers will be improved to a higher level, and he will become the team's key defensive target after Nash.

On May 5, the second game of the divisional semifinals began.

This is also an offensive battle.

For the Clippers, Brand, Mobley, and Cassel scored 20+ points, and five of the team scored in double figures.

As for the Suns, only Bell scored 20 points. The rest of the players, including Nash, Wang Chao, Marion and others, all scored below 20 points. People scored in double figures.

Wang Chao had 18 points, Barbosa had 16 points, Nash and Diaw both had 14 points, Marion had 13 points, and Tim Thomas had 15 points.

Trailing 0:2, the Clippers then returned to their home court and won Game 94 91:[-].

Brand continued his fiery state in this game, blasting the inside of the Suns, scoring 24 points on 12 of 32 shots.

For the Suns, the highest score in the game came from Wang Chao. After playing 31 minutes in the game, Wang Chao made 15 of 7 three-pointers and scored 21 points.

As the game progressed, the Suns have begun to rely more and more on Wang Chao's deterrence and efficient firepower output outside the three-point line, and Wang Chao's high shooting rate is completely worthy of the Suns' entrustment.

Although they lost the G3 game at the Clippers' home court, overall, there is no problem with the Suns' style of play.

On May 5th, the fourth game of the conference finals was still at the Staples Center, home of the Clippers. The Clippers failed to continue their victory two days ago. The Suns took the lead to get the match point.

The unreconciled Clippers followed up with a 118:113 win at the Suns' home court in the fifth game, turning the score into 3:2, but then the Suns did not give the Clippers another chance. In the sixth game, the Suns 5:18, with a hearty victory, completely fixed the total score at 127:107, officially eliminated the Clippers, and reached the Western Conference Finals.
