NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 70 Wang Chao Came to Carry?

In the game against the Jazz, Stoudemire made 15 of 5 shots and scored 13 points. Wang Chao made 8 of 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points. The Suns lost to the Jazz at home 104:108.

Throughout the game, Wang Chao had a deep understanding of how powerless he was when facing a talented defensive player like Kirilenko.

Whether it is speed, strength, jumping, or physical fitness, they are all suppressed by the opponent, and his wingspan is completely blown out. Except for the occasional opportunity for his teammates to cover without the ball or when the team forms a fast break, Wang Chao basically They can't do anything under Kirilenko's defense.

Even Kirilenko is so strong, one can imagine how terrifying Leonard's defensive strength will be at his peak in the future.

At the end of the three games, especially the stretching of the hips in the third game, Wang Chao's scoring average dropped from the previous 20 points to 16.6 points.

Although the regular season has just started, Wang Chao felt the pressure immediately.

Such pressure quickly turned into motivation.

On November 11, the Suns played against the Clippers again in an away game. In this game, Stoudemire still failed to regain his form. He even felt a little unwell after making 4 of 11 shots in 2 minutes on the court, so he went off the court to rest early.

The Suns thus return to the style of play they played without Stoudemire last season.

Wang Chao was extremely active throughout the game. The Clippers didn't have any outstanding small forwards. Although Livingston's speed was not bad, he couldn't compare to Wang Chao in terms of physical fitness, and even if he kept up with Wang Chao's The pace and defensive ability are not enough to substantially interfere with Wang Chao's shooting.

After Stoudemire left the field early, this game completely became Wang Chao's personal show stage. He made 16 of 10 shots, 10 of 6 three-pointers, and scored a team-high 26 points and 4 rebounds.

此外马里昂19投11中也有22分入账，再加上纳什的15分13助攻，太阳队成功在客场再次击败快船，战绩来到3胜1负。

In 4 games in the regular season, Wang Chao averaged 19 points per game. In the case of Stoudemire's abnormal performance in two consecutive games, he became the team's scoring leader again. The data fluctuates greatly, but his scoring ability in these few games is still amazing.

"In the new season, Wang Chao's three-pointers are as stable as ever, and he has also developed a mid-range shot. Compared with last season, his physical fitness and speed have also improved a lot. He is really changing step by step. It has become better and has gradually become an indispensable and important scoring point for the Suns."

"I can't wait to wait until Amare fully recovers, reaches his peak strength and successfully runs in with the current Suns. How strong will they be then?"

On November 11, in the fifth game of the Suns regular season, the team once again encountered a strong enemy and challenged the San Antonio Spurs away.

Wang Chao faced a severe challenge again in this game, because the defensive player he had to face was Bruce Bowen, a well-known defensive player of the Spurs.

As a well-known defensive player in the league, Bowen's defensive ability is also very well-known. Of course, what he is more familiar to Huaguo fans is his dirty defensive style and footsteps.

There are many league stars who have been ruined at his feet, the most classic being the famous scene where Vince Carter is being chased by the opponent and running all over the court.

Stepping aside, Bowen has been selected as the best defensive player in the league eight times, which is enough to prove his strong defensive ability, which is definitely a big challenge for Wang Chao.

Of course, if Wang Chao were to choose, Bao Wen and Kirilenko, he was obviously more afraid of Kirilenko. Facing that monster whose static talent and dynamic talent were better than his own, with Wang Chao's current strength, he was really afraid of Kirilenko. There is no way.

But Bowen is different. Although his defensive ability is very good, Bowen is only 2 meters tall and 01 meters long, and his speed is also slightly inferior to Wang Chao.

Bowen's defense is mainly strong in one-on-one defense. Facing Wang Chao's off-ball running on the battlefield, he can't actually play a very good effect.

The head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni, was obviously aware of this and began to make arrangements in advance before the game.

"In the game against the Spurs, we will focus on Wang Chao."

D'Antoni said to the team members: "His technical characteristics will have many opportunities to perform in the face of the Spurs' defensive system. Tim's defense cannot cover the outside line. Bowen's defense alone will not It has too much impact on Wang Chao's shooting."

"In this game, as long as Wang Chao can show his performance in previous games and training, we can win the game!"

……

Wang Chao, who was on the field, recalled D'Antoni's tactical arrangements before the game, and couldn't help but become excited.

The opportunity is coming!

This is the first time a head coach has used him as the core point of the team's offense to arrange the team's tactics.

From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with D'Antoni's tactical arrangement.

The Spurs are definitely one of the strongest defensive teams in the league. Although Duncan, the core player of the team, has never won the honor of the best defensive player in his career, his defensive ability can definitely be among the best in the history of the league. Lost to Ben Wallace, the four-time best defensive player of the next-door Pistons.

Therefore, in the fight against the Spurs, especially when Stoudemire has not yet fully returned to his peak state, it should be avoided as much as possible to hit the basket and directly contact Duncan.

Wang Chao, an extremely stable shooter outside the three-point line, has naturally become the biggest reliance for the Suns to win.

"This game... beat Bowen! Get a high score!"

Wang Chao said this to himself in his heart.

This is not just the result of a game, but also a test for the head coach. If Wang Chao can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's offense, then obviously there will be more similar opportunities in future games.

But if he can't bear this responsibility, and his hips are stretched in this game, it may be difficult to get this kind of opportunity again in the future.

So no matter what, he has to seize the opportunity in this game!
Both sides scrimmage.

Stoudemire jumped the ball over Duncan of the Spurs and successfully dialed the basketball to the Suns. Nash dribbled the ball quickly into the half court and began to organize the offense.

Wang Chao, who was standing outside the three-point line in the left corner, saw the timing, and immediately slipped to the bottom line and ran towards the other side.

It turned out that Bao Wen was in charge of guarding Wang Chao. When he saw Wang Chao move, he immediately chased after him.

But when the two passed the basket, Wang Chao went first, and when Bowen was about to pass, he was stopped by Stoudemire who suddenly stepped out in front of him.

Off the ball screen!

Bowen: "???"

As soon as the game started, why did Stoudemire support Wang Chao?
