With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 41 Eliminate the Lakers, long-distance runner talent

On May 5, in the fifth game of the first-round series, the venue returned to the home court of the Phoenix Suns. Under the home game, the Suns did not continue to give the Lakers a chance.

114:97, the Suns completed the end against the Lakers at home, fixing the total score at 4:1.

科比这场比赛继续延续着火热的状态，17投10中罚球9中8，得到32分9篮板7助攻，奈何队内除了他以外只有奥多姆和夸梅.布朗两人得分上双。

On the other hand, for the Suns, this game can be said to have blossomed. Dior scored the team-high 25 points, Marion scored 21 points, Nash scored 20 points, and Wang Chao also scored 20 points.

The four of the Suns scored 20+ points. Unless Kobe scored 50+ points in the small universe, he was doomed to be powerless.

The process of the game was uneventful, and the Suns always maintained the lead until the end of the game.

But for Wang Chao, this process is a little bit "exciting".

In this game, Nash's state in the first half was really good. Before the end of the half, he had made 7 of 5 shots, 4 of 4 free throws and scored 14 points, which shocked Wang Chao into a cold sweat.

You know, in the first four games, Wang Chao's average score was only 0.25 points higher than Nash's. With this 0.25 point gap, Nash only needs to score 2 points higher than Wang Chao in this game to complete the overtake.

While Nash scored 14 points in the first half, Wang Chao just scored 6 points.

Fortunately, Nash is a passing master rather than a super scorer. After finding that his teammates felt very good in this game, Nash decisively gave up his offense in the second half of the game and turned to assists to help his teammates score.

Therefore, in the second half, Nash only took 4 shots and scored 6 points.

Even so, Wang Chao finally scored his 3th point of the game with a mid-range shot about 20 minutes before the end of the fourth quarter.

In this way, Wang Chao and Nash both scored 20 points. After five games, Wang Chao averaged 21 points and Nash 20.8 points.

There is one thing to say, this scoring champion is actually nothing special, because in addition to averaging 20.8 points per game, Nash also has 10.6 assists, and the standard 20+10 data is the base.

On the other hand, Wang Chao, apart from his dry 21 points, his rebounds and assists are pitifully low.

But Wang Chao didn't care about it. Being able to complete the system tasks and get rewards was the best reward for him.

Besides, no one will compare the current Wang Chao with Nash.

Nash is the soul of the Suns and the key to the operation of the entire team. The Suns can do without Stoudemire, Marion, and Wang Chao, but they absolutely cannot do without Nash.

And his performance is not as good as Nash's. It doesn't mean that Wang Chao's performance in the series is not impressive enough. After all, he is the team's scoring leader and the team's player with the highest average score per game. He averaged 5 shots per game in 6.4 games. Three-pointers, this data is almost catching up with the Lakers' average three-pointers per game.

If it weren't for Wang Chao, the Suns would have been cornered by the Lakers and almost eliminated, but with Wang Chao, the score changed from 4:3 to 4:1, which is enough to see Wang Chao's strength on the field. function and contribution.

The Suns eliminated the Lakers to enter the second round, and the Lakers went home early to fish.

Kobe's first playoff trip without O'Neal ended like this. After five games, Kobe's personal statistics are extremely luxurious, one game is 50+, two games are 30+, and two games are 20+. Show vividly.

However, he was eliminated by a big score in the first round, which still put Kobe on the cusp. After all, there is still O'Neal in the East who is ready to make trouble.

……

The Suns, who have entered the second round of the conference semifinals, will still face the Los Angeles team, the Los Angeles Clippers, which ranks sixth in the Western Conference during the regular season.

The Clippers' opponent in the first round is the Nuggets, the third in the West.

Originally, from the regular season record to the team's lineup and many other aspects, the Nuggets are on the more advantageous side.

However, when the two teams met in the first round, the result was that the Clippers completely defeated the Nuggets.

4:1, like the Suns, the Clippers eliminated the Nuggets in 5 games.

The core of the Clippers during this period was Elton Brand, known as the captain.

This guy doesn't look like a mountain, and many people may not remember his name, but at his peak, he was a top power forward who maintained 20+10 data all the year round. He was once able to compete with Duncan of the Spurs in the West strongman.

In addition to Brand, the Clippers also have players such as Corey Maggette, the old cat Mobley, the alien Cassell and Chris Kaman.

This is also a strong team. In another time and space, the Suns also relied on seven bloody battles with their opponents to win the Western Conference finals.

However, just like the game against the Lakers, the Suns now have one more Wang Chao, so there are many more variables.

What's more, Wang Chao had just completed the task issued by the system not long ago and obtained a new talent skill.

The talent of a long-distance runner.

This is the name of the talent rewarded by Wang Chao after completing the system tasks.

After the reward was issued, Wang Chao entered the consciousness space to check. This talent appeared in another branch of the talent tree, and it was not next to the sharpshooter and fast gunner talents.

This is actually not surprising. Both the sharpshooter and fast gunner talents are shooter-related skills, but long-distance runners can be heard just by listening to their names, and they have nothing to do with shooting.

This talent is systematically classified in the physical fitness talent. Obviously, if Wang Chao obtains other quality talents in the future, it will share a branch with the long-distance runner talent.

The function of the long-distance runner's talent is similar to what Wang Chao imagined, but the effect is far beyond his imagination.

Long-distance runners: Players who run more than 1 kilometer in a game will receive a 10% physical bonus, and those who run more than 3 kilometers will receive a 20% physical bonus and a 5% running speed bonus. If the moving distance exceeds 5 kilometers, you will get a 35% physical bonus and a 10% running speed bonus.

The introduction of this skill seems a bit complicated, but to put it simply, the farther Wang Chao runs on the field, the more physical bonuses and faster running speed he can get.

Assume that Wang Chao has 100 stamina, if he runs 1 kilometer in the whole game, then he can use 110 stamina in the whole game, if the running distance is 3 kilometers, the usable stamina is 120, and he can run It will be faster than the beginning. If you run more than 5 kilometers, your physical fitness can reach 135!
