NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 66 The Speechless Kobe

"See, this is what big players should do!"

Watching Stoudemire's efficient attack at the basket, Barkley was very satisfied.

He himself was the main power forward position when he was rising in the Suns. Although he was only 1 meters tall, Barkley relied on his strong lower body strength and back-up singles skills to play in the 98s. Led the team to the finals, also won the honor of regular season MVP.

Stoudemire, as the Suns' second All-Star power forward after Barkley, has always been loved by Barkley.

The reason why Barkley made a bet that Yao Ming could not score more than 19 points during the season was also because Dayao was the No. The meaning of Mingbuping.

It is true that Stoudemire was really strong at his peak, and even beat Duncan inside more than once in the playoffs, but Dayao's career is not inferior too much, and Dayao has brought a lot to the league. The commercial value of Stoudemire is far from what Stoudemire can compare.

As for the fact that Dayao has never played in the Western Conference finals, and Stoudemire's Suns broke into the Western Conference finals many times, it is even more ridiculous for some sunspots to judge the two based on such results.

The main reason for Stoudemire's record in the Suns is because of Nash, the two-time regular season MVP. After Stoudemire went to the Knicks, isn't it also the first round every year?Even if he partnered with another top superstar Carmelo Anthony, he didn't see much better.

The topic is a bit far away, so let's get down to business.

Barkley praised Stoudemire's performance, but Kenny Smith held a different view.

"Amare played really well, but the main reason why he was able to attack with the ball in such an unscrupulous way was that the Lakers were completely evacuated inside. In this regard, the other four players of the Suns were on the court. The role of the above is also very important.”

This sentence is the truth.

It's not that the Lakers didn't try to help Bynum double-team Stoudemire during the game, but the opponent also played very cunningly. Once they saw a player double-team, they immediately passed the ball.

In this way, there will be irreversible opportunities for openings on the outside.

In the first quarter, Wang Chao got two open opportunities like this, one at the corner three-point line and the other at the mid-range. Wang Chao did not miss both opportunities and made all his shots. Therefore, in the first quarter He also scored 2 points in the game. Although it is not a lot, his 5% shooting rate can not find any faults at all.

In the first quarter, Wang Chao didn't have much chance to perform, but as the game entered the second quarter, the opportunities began to increase.

After the main attack in the first quarter, Stoudemire was also a little tired. He didn't dare to let his body be too tired after he just returned from injury. Demire simply took a break early and replaced Dior.

With Diaw's debut, the Suns changed from a single-point attack to a multi-point attack. With Nash holding the ball and controlling the rhythm, all five positions have opportunities to play, and Wang Chao is no exception.

Like last season, Wang Chao started running again.

Luke Wharton, who was defending against Wang Chao, immediately followed Wang Chao's pace when he saw this, but after only two steps, he was shocked to find that this guy was the same as when he played against Wang Chao in the first round of last season's playoffs. In comparison, the speed was obviously much faster. He had desperately wanted to catch up with Wang Chao, but he was still half a beat behind him.

Wang Chao easily passed the bottom line and ran from the left to the right three-point corner position. Nash's pass arrived as expected. After receiving the ball, Wang Chao directly raised his hand to shoot and made a steady hit.

"Ok?"

In the stands, Barkley raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What's the matter? Charles?" Kenny Smith laughed. "Didn't you say that as long as you study carefully, it's not difficult to keep up with Wang Chao's off-ball running? Did you see the ball clearly just now?"

"Of course I saw it." Barkley touched his chin and said angrily: "This guy... seems to be a little bit wrong, his speed is obviously much faster than last season, and his movements are more straightforward. "

Of course.

一整个夏天，王超的速度和敏捷分别从74和79提升到81和84，别小看这分别提升了7点和5点的数值，在赛场上的变化可谓相当明显了。

The current Wang Chao, in the Suns, is only slower than Nash, Barbosa and other guards in terms of speed. He is already ahead of most of the strikers. Even the team's starting shooting guard Raja Bell is slightly slower than him in terms of speed. A little bit means that Marion's speed can reach the same level as Wang Chao's.

But with the improvement of Wang Chao's running distance in the game, Marion has to bow down to the back.

With a good speed and a running route that he has memorized for a long time, Wang Chao has few people in the league in the field of off-ball running. It is estimated that Hamilton of the Pistons is stronger than him.

Of course, if one looks to the future, then Thompson is obviously a better off-ball player than the current Wang Chao, but the current Thompson is still studying in a certain junior high school.

"You said that Wang Chao's tricks may not work well in the new season, but I think he may continue to cause headaches for all teams in the league by relying on this trick." Smith laughed: "This is as a former professional shooter. intuition."

……

On the field, watching Stoudemire leave the field, the score continued to widen uncontrollably, and Kobe began to get a little impatient.

On the offensive end, he frequently attacked singles with the ball, and on the defensive end, Kobe also ran to mark Wang Chao. Compared with Bell who was facing him, Wang Chao was obviously the more threatening one.

But just like last season's playoffs.

No matter how strong Kobe's defensive ability is, facing Wang Chao is like a dog catching a hedgehog.

Wang Chao didn't match up with Kobe at all. If you come to defend me, I wish I could. Wang Chao directly led Kobe in circles on the field. He didn't catch the ball a few times, so he tired Kobe first.

Again, Wang Chao is not the core of the Suns. Even if he does not score, the team can maintain the offensive rhythm under the leadership of Nash, but for the Lakers, Kobe is the only offensive core, wasting too much on the defensive end. In terms of physical fitness, the Lakers' offense will also be implicated.

So a few minutes later, Kobe gave up marking Wang Chao with a speechless expression.

He didn't want to waste all his limited physical strength on running against Wang Chao.

Wang Chao got a lot more chances in the second quarter than in the first quarter. He made 5 of 2 shots from beyond the three-point line and 2 of 1 shots from the mid-range, scoring 8 points.

In this way, at the end of halftime, Wang Chao scored 13 points, and his shooting percentage remained above [-]%, becoming the second scoring point for the Suns after Stoudemire.
