(For the new book issue, please ask for a wave of collection recommendation tickets, thank you)

As soon as the game started, Wang Chao gave the Suns a good start with a neat three-pointer.

3: 0.

This goal is not so much the credit of Wang Chao, but Nash's role is greater. It is his breakthrough with the ball that attracted the Kings' defensive contraction, which gave Wang Chao a chance to take a calm shot from outside the three-point line.

However, Wang Chao steadily hit a three-pointer, which can be regarded as a wonderful pass that did not blind Nash.

"Good job."

In the process of returning to defense, Nash said to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao's crisp shot allowed Nash to also successfully harvest an assist statistic. Although Nash already has a regular season MVP trophy, he doesn't have such a strong pursuit of personal stats, but who doesn't like his own stats and beautiful balls at the same time? Can the team still win the game?
The Kings attack.

At this time, the head coach of the Kings is still Rick Adelman, so the team still focuses on Princeton tactics. The whole team conducts a lot of running and passing and cutting cooperation on the field, and finally finds Artest who is completely open. Sturt, who also shot from the [-]-point line, and...

"when--"

As a perimeter defender, Artest has a certain three-point shooting ability, but his accuracy is not flattering. Throughout his career, his three-point shooting percentage is only 33.9%.

The basketball slams against the back of the rim and bounces off the defensive rebound, which Diaw protects and immediately passes to Nash.

Fast attack!

The most common 7-second offense of the Suns came.

Nash dribbled the ball forward quickly, and all the Suns followed Nash's pace and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Marion took the lead and cut to the basket, and Nash's pass was like a shadow. The former made a strong layup after receiving the ball, which caused a defensive foul by the Kings players and went to the free throw line to execute 2 free throws.

……

The game between the two teams, both of which are based on gorgeous offense, can be described as quite exciting and beautiful.

Both teams scored wildly on non-stop offense.

In this extremely fast offensive rhythm, even Wang Chao got many chances to make open shots from the outside.

Such a rare opportunity, of course, Wang Chao will not easily miss it.

In the first quarter of the game, he made 6 three-pointers and hit 3 goals to get 2 points in 6 minutes of his first start.

When Wang Chao was replaced by James Jones, he could even see D'Antoni nodding approvingly at him.

As a role player, he can score 3 points for the team in only 6 shots, which is enough to satisfy D'Antoni.

You must know that Martin, who is facing Wang Chao, only scored 3 points on 2 of 4 shots.

Wang Chao's defense is mediocre, and can even be described as bad, but he has only one advantage, which is high enough.

With a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 06 meters, Wang Chao has certain advantages when facing most players on the back line.

Kevin Martin is 2 meters tall. He is a relatively tall player among shooting guards, but he is still much shorter than Wang Chao.

And Martin's scoring method is mainly based on shooting. Wang Chao doesn't have to do anything when defending him. He just needs to try not to lose his position, and then raise his hands to interfere with the opponent's shooting. Therefore, the biggest disadvantage on the defensive end is well covered. past.

James Jones, who came off the bench as Wang Chao, was very eager to prove his strength by performing as soon as he came on the stage.

Obviously, Wang Chao's previous performance put a lot of pressure on him.

However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed, especially Jones's three-pointer is not as accurate as Wang Chao.

Jones, who was eager for success, missed all the first two open three-pointers, and did not score 2 points with free throws until the end of the game.

When he wanted to do something again, the whistle sounded for the end of the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the Suns have taken an absolute lead, leading the Kings by 33 points at 21:12.

纳什第一节比赛表现堪称完美，6投4中，三分球1中1，罚球2中2，得到11分4助攻。

Wang Chao's 6 points were the Suns' second highest score in the first quarter. Center Kurt Thomas, who also started the game with him, also scored 5 points on 3 of 6 shots.

……

Wang Chao's performance successfully attracted the attention of Kings coach Rick Adelman.

"Keep an eye on that yellow-skinned guy, and don't let him easily shoot open shots outside the three-point line."

Of course, Adelman just reminded him that he was very clear that Wang Chao's performance was irrelevant, and the real fear of the Suns was Nash.

At this stage, the defense of the Kings can be described as being riddled with holes. The defense almost completely relies on the individual ability of the players to defend alone. Mike Bibby is completely in a state of being played by Nash, and no one can recover.

It's just that Adelman never expected that it was not Nash who completely defeated the Kings in the second quarter, but Wang Chao who he told his players to keep an eye on!
At the start of the second quarter, Wang Chao started again.

Obviously, his performance in the first quarter made D'Antoni very satisfied, so he got more performance opportunities.

Wang Chao did not disappoint D'Antoni at all. Immediately after his debut, he ran without the ball to find an open opportunity. Nash's pass arrived at the first time. After Wang Chao received the ball from outside the three-point line, he rushed to shoot before Martin caught up.

"Shh!"

4 of 3 three-pointers!

But that's just the beginning.

In the next round, Marion, who keenly judged the trajectory of the Kings' pass in advance, made a breakthrough and completed the steal to form a fast break.

After stealing the ball, Marion held the ball and made a fast break, attracted the defense of the Kings' returning players and then passed the ball to Nash who was on the other side. Nash caught the ball and rushed to the basket, facing Bibby's defense. Then throw the ball towards the bottom corner.

Only at this time did the players of the Kings realize that Wang Chao had run to the bottom corner and stood outside the three-point line at some point. He jumped up and shot when he received a pass from Nash.

"Shh!"

Three points again! 5 out of 4!
At the beginning of the second quarter, there were two three-pointers in a row, and they were directly stunned by the Kings.

Originally trailing by 12 points in the first quarter, they were beaten 6:0 in the start, and the point difference instantly expanded to 18 points.

Adelman had already stood up from his seat, and shouted anxiously with his hands on his hips: "Steady the rhythm! Don't let the opponent easily make a fast break! Pay attention to the perimeter defense!"

It's just that the current situation cannot be reversed by him commanding from the sidelines.

……

At 4 minutes and 14 seconds into the second quarter, with Nash's mid-range throw, the difference between the two sides officially expanded to more than 20 points.

The game has not yet reached the end of halftime, and the suspense has been lost ahead of schedule.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that the team's hero who defeated the Kings in advance was actually Wang Chao, who started the game for the first time!
