NBA: James wants to team up with me

In early May 2010, the NBA announced the results of the best team selection.

The selection of the best team this season is not much different from before, especially in terms of the best team. The five players selected for the best team have not changed at all compared to last year. They are still Wade, Kobe, James, and Wang Chong. and the Howard Five.

There are some changes to the best second team. The five players selected are Nash, Deron Williams, Durant, Anthony and Dirk Nowitzki.

The five players on the best third team are Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tim Duncan and Dayao.

From the selection results of the best team, we can see how competitive the stars are this season.

Among the fifteen rosters, only the Suns have two best-team players, Nash in the second team and Stoudemire in the third team.

In addition, including the Bulls, who have the league's first record, followed closely by the Magic, Cavaliers and the Lakers, who have the first place in the Western Conference, only one player has been selected to the All-NBA Team.

In fact, Stoudemire's selection to the All-NBA Third Team is directly linked to his gorgeous personal data.

场均23分8.9篮板，投篮命中率55.7%的斯塔德迈尔，击败了包括了18+11的保罗.加索尔， 19.4分5篮板4.5助攻的保罗.皮尔斯等多名竞争对手，才艰难的抢到这个最佳阵容名额。

In comparison, the competition for the two best defensive lineups is far less stressful.

However, due to Garnett's season reimbursement, the selection of the best team for the 09-10 season has changed a lot.

The five players selected as the best first defense are Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant, James, Wang Chong and Howard.

Four players from the best team are reunited in the best first defense. Looking at the league, it is extremely rare. The only pity is Wade. He lost to Kobe and Rondo in the selection of the defensive team this season and could only be ranked second. formation, otherwise all five players of the best first team will be in the best first defense, which can be regarded as a good story.

In addition to Wade, the five players on the best second team include point guard Billups, small forward Josh Smith, power forward Tim Duncan and center Marc Gasol.

Here, the Bulls' league-leading strength is finally reflected.

Counting Wang Chong in the first round, the Bulls have three people selected to the All-Defensive Team, realizing the Bulls' dominance of the league's selection mechanism.

Not only that, with an average of 20+5 per game, Curry was also successfully selected to the All-Rookie First Team, and the competition with Tyreke Evans for the Best Rookie of the Year is still fierce.

The first game of the playoffs between the Bulls and Celtics was the night the best lineup was announced.

The United Center in Chicago was packed with seats, and countless Bulls fans had already poured into the arena in advance.

Bulls fans are not too worried about their team's opponent, the Boston Celtics, in this series.

After all, the Celtics are just a newly emerging team. Although Durant performed well and was selected for the best team, there is still a big gap between the Celtics and the Bulls in terms of overall strength. Even if they are two In the comparison between the core players of the team, Durant cannot compare to Wang Chong.

Basically, as long as the Bulls play normally and play steadily, there will be no problem in defeating the Celtics and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals.

The Celtics' starting five are point guard Rajon Rondo, shooting guard Paul Pierce, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Paul Millsap, and center Al Jefferson.

Just from this starting lineup, you can see how strong the Celtics are currently. It is not an upset to defeat the not weak Hawks and advance to the second round.

Against the Celtics, the Bulls were quite disadvantaged by their height, especially on the back line. Curry had a slight advantage in height when facing Rondo, but at the shooting guard position, Billups, who was 1 meters tall, faced Pierce. It’s a bit difficult.

Pierce, who was originally a small forward, is 2 meters tall. The reason why he is now a shooting guard is mainly to make room for Durant.

But his height makes him stand out from the crowd at the shooting guard position, just like Wang Chong and Durant at small forward.

With his height at a disadvantage, Billups had a hard time dealing with Pierce.

Not only at the shooting guard position, the Bulls also suffered at the small forward position.

Durant is over 2 meters tall, while Danny Green, the Bulls' starting small forward, is only 10 meters tall. And even after training for most of the season, Green has not reached the defensive level he will play with the Spurs in the future.

When it comes to the power forward and center positions, the Bulls have finally found some ground. The Celtics' interior height is very average. Millsap is 2 meters and Jefferson is 03 meters. They are not tall interior players. , but despite being short in height, the two of them also have their own advantages, that is, their mobility is much better than ordinary insiders.

Against the Celtics, if the Bulls simply allocate matchups based on position, they will definitely suffer a big loss.

Both head coach Thibodeau and Wang Chong knew this very well, so as soon as the game started, the Celtics discovered that the Bulls began to misalign their defense as soon as they came up.

Danny Green did not go to guard Durant, but instead ran to guard inside player Paul Millsap. Wang Chong personally stood in front of Durant to guard Durant.

This is actually not surprising.

Wang Chong, who has a similar style to Durant, is the best player to defend Durant. Considering that Durant averaged 30 points per game in the regular season this season, he is the only player in the league besides Wang Chong to average 30+ points per game in the regular season. The scorer is bound to be heavily defended by Wang Chong.

Just like this, Danny Green will go to the penalty area to face Millsap. Although the height difference between the two is not as great as Durant, as an inside line, Millsap's tonnage and strength are greater than that of Durant. Durant is much bigger, and as a perimeter player, Green simply can't stand up to Millsap.

The Bulls certainly know this, and making such an arrangement is also a gamble. First, they are betting that Millsap's offensive ability is not that strong. Even if Green cannot guard him, the opponent will not be the key to the outcome of the game.

The second is to bet that Gasol, who is guarding the basket, can give Green some help and help him share some of the pressure.

As a veteran of the Bulls, Millsap's performance has not changed qualitatively since he came to the Celtics this season compared to before.

Of course, this is not a problem of Millsap's lack of personal ability. In fact, his tactical status with the Celtics has not changed significantly compared to his time with the Bulls.

In the Celtics, the number one offensive core is Durant. This is undisputed. Under Durant, there are Pierce, Al Jefferson, and Millsap in the order of the team's scorers. Among them, he can only rank fourth. This is because point guard Rondo is not a defender who is good at scoring, otherwise he would have even fewer shots.

This has resulted in Millsap averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per game this season, which is indeed not much improvement compared to when he was with the Bulls.

Therefore, even if he is in a dislocation state when facing Green on the court, the Celtics will not put all their treasure on Millsap.

Moreover, even if Wang Chong personally defended him one-on-one, Durant was a little unconvinced. He didn't think Wang Chong could limit his scoring. Not to mention that it was precisely because Wang Chong came to guard him that it aroused his anger. Durant’s competitive spirit.

Originally, Durant was a little unconvinced when he lost to Wang Chong in the competition for the scoring title this season. He did not think that he was unable to compete with Wang Chong because his offensive ability was inferior to him, but because he was in the Celtics. Without the unlimited right to fire like Wang Chong did in the Bulls, this fell short. Therefore, in the playoffs, he finally had the opportunity to face off against Wang Chong to compare who has better scoring ability. Durant also wanted to prove to the team and the entire league through his performance in the series that Durant is not Not weaker than Wang Chong!
The Bulls' tactical game worked.

At the beginning of the game, Gasol won the ball due to his height advantage, and the Bulls had the ball.

Curry quickly advanced to halftime with the ball and passed the ball to Wang Chong.

Wang Chong held the ball from the top of the three-point line, and standing in front of him was Durant.

Like the Bulls, the Celtics also opted to make slight adjustments on defense.

Just like the Bulls asked Wang Chong to guard Durant, the Celtics also feel that Durant, whose static talent is very close to Wang Chong, is obviously the best choice to guard Wang Chong. Even if they can't guard him, they can still slightly reduce it. Some Wang Chong's offensive efficiency.

When playing against the Bulls, how to limit Wang Chong's scoring is always the biggest issue.

It’s just that although Durant’s growth ceiling is almost the same as Wang Chong’s, Wang Chong has now broken through the growth ceiling through training modules and strengthened his abilities in many aspects. The gap between Durant and Durant has widened, especially in defense. On the other end, Wang Chong, whose many defensive abilities have been improved, is not even a little bit better defensively than Durant.

Facing Durant's defense, Wang Chong didn't even need too many complicated fake moves. He just accelerated the breakthrough with the ball, carried Durant one step inside the free throw line, and then stopped for a jump shot.

Although Durant immediately raised his hand to interfere, and his palm successfully interfered with Wang Chong's shooting sight, but - "Whoops!"

The basketball was still firmly thrown into the basket by Wang Chong.

In the mid-range shooting area where Wang Chong is best at, unless it directly blocks the shot, it is just line of sight interference and has minimal impact on Wang Chong's shooting.

This is not only because of Wang Chong's mid-range shooting ability bonus of 99, but also because of the multiple high-level badges Wang Chong currently possesses.

A master of mid-range shooting, a hot zone hunter, and most importantly, the anti-interference effect of Wang Chong's only purple Hall of Fame badge marksman, which allows Wang Chong to continue to score efficiently even when facing defenses.

2:0, Wang Chong took the lead for the Bulls from the beginning.

Celtics offense.

After being shot in the face by Wang Chong and scoring 2 points, Durant immediately eagerly asked for the ball on the offensive end and wanted to return one.

Rondo, who was holding the ball, looked at Wang Chong in front of Durant and felt a little hesitant.

Even though Durant is confident in himself, he is not very optimistic about this matchup.

Wang Chongke has been selected to the All-Defensive Team consecutively, and his defensive momentum this season is not inferior to that of Howard. Currently, fans from both sides are quarreling online over who should be awarded the DPOY this season.

Although Howard has the advantage in terms of defensive efficiency and other aspects, among all defensive players, Wang Chong is really the one with the smallest gap with Howard, so it is not surprising at all to be included in the discussion.

Durant's offense has really impressed people this season, averaging 30+ points per game, which also proves that he is enough to deal with most defensive players in the league. But in the playoffs, facing the serious Wang Chong, Durant Is it still useful?

But after struggling for a while, Rondo still chose to pass the ball to Durant.

He also knows very well that if the Celtics want to defeat the Bulls, Durant's strength is indispensable. Only Durant among them has the ability and opportunity to compete with Wang Chong.

Holding the ball in the same top arc position, Durant lowered his center of gravity and stared at Wang Chong.

It was only then that he felt the difficulty facing Wang Chong.

Wang Chong's defensive position is very particular, and is further forward than the normal position. This position is not conducive to defensive breakthroughs with the ball, but it has an excellent defensive effect on players who mainly focus on shooting.

At least Durant in front of him would never dare to pull up and shoot casually at this time, because there is a high probability that Wang Chong will directly block the shot.

Therefore, Durant can only choose to break through with the ball.

Durant's breakthrough ability is not weak. In fact, in the early stages of his career, his shooting ability was not as strong as it was later. Breaking through with the ball to attack the basket and creating foul shots are one of his main ways of scoring.

After lowering his center of gravity and hitting the ground to change hands, Durant accelerated his breakthrough and rushed towards the basket.

But Wang Chong immediately followed up. As the two of them came into physical contact, the defensive badge on the badge wall of Wang Chong's consciousness space was instantly activated.

Death Coil - Allows defenders to gain faster defensive movements, increase lateral movement speed, and enhance pressure and defensive capabilities during physical confrontation.

Wang Chong's badge has reached the gold level, second only to the Purple Hall of Fame, and its bonus effect is quite outstanding.

Durant was caught off guard and was forced to scramble by Wang Chong's close defense and almost lost the ball. In a hurry, he had to stop and protect the ball with both hands, thus avoiding the risk of being directly intercepted by Wang Chong.

But as a result, his attack has been blocked and cannot be continued.

Durant was naturally unwilling to be stopped by Wang Chong like this, so after being forced to stop, he still chose to pull up and force the shot.

Durant's movements were very fast, but Wang Chong's prediction was faster and he took off almost at the same time as Durant.

Wang Chong's jumping ability value is 77, which is exactly the same as peak Durant.

At this time, Durant is different from Wang Chong. When his body has not reached its peak condition, his bounce is slightly lower than Wang Chong.

"Snapped!"

Before Durant could take his shot, he was slapped away by Wang Chong! (End of chapter)
