NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 97 Western Conference Finals vs. Spurs, what should come will always come

Stoudemire jumps over Duncan and the Suns have the ball.

Nash, who got the basketball, pushed forward with the ball, and a group of players quickly settled down.

Wang Chao ran directly to the right three-point corner and stood in front of him was Spurs forward Bruce Bowen who was closely following him.

Bowen is definitely the strongest defensive expert in the league. He was selected to the All-Defensive Team eight times in his career. In terms of defensive ability alone, he may be stronger than his opponent Kirilenko in the last round.

However, as I said before, Bowen's defense is different from that of Kirilenko. The former's defense is based on skills and experience, while the latter relies more on static talent and physical fitness.

Wang Chao was restrained by Kirilenko, but he was not afraid of Bo Wen.

Therefore, in the face of Wang Chaoshi, Bowen is often under great pressure.

This time is no exception.

When he first came up, Wang Chao didn't take Bo Wen to run around the field, but stood at a fixed position first, temporarily set up a fixed-point fort, and then decided after seeing the progress of the last game.

What Wang Chao didn't know was that, on the CCTV sports channel on the other side of the ocean, the commentator who was broadcasting the Western Conference Finals game was introducing him at this time.

When the live broadcast camera was facing Wang Chao, the guest commentator Director Zhang couldn't help laughing.

"We saw that Wang Chao was at the three-point line in the bottom corner at this time, and Bowen, the Spurs' perimeter defense expert, followed him closely. It's too big, looking at the league, there is no second player who can shoot three-pointers to this level, not even the famous three-pointer Ray Allen."

"I believe that many friends are not unfamiliar with Wang Chao, but there are also many new audience friends who don't know much about Wang Chao, so I will introduce here a little bit. Wang Chao was born in the capital in 83. He is the fourth Chinese player to successfully enter the NBA, and the only Chinese player to land in the NBA as an outside player!"

"Wang Chao has an excellent static talent, with a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 06 meters. Even compared with those North American players in the NBA, this also makes it difficult for him to be disturbed when shooting three-pointers. Or blocking shots is one of his biggest reliance and advantages on the field..."

While Director Zhang was introducing, he felt secretly refreshed.

In fact, last year, he wanted to solemnly introduce Wang Chao to audiences all over the country, but at that time it was restricted, and any news about Wang Chao was completely blocked, and all commentators and commentators were prohibited from publicly talking about anything related to Wang Chao.

But now, a year later, those people could no longer suppress Wang Chao.

Although Wang Chao's performance in the NBA is not phenomenal, it is also at the All-Star level and can be ranked among the best players in the NBA.

In the NBA, it is not considered the top, but in Huaguo, it is completely phenomenal and sensational. It is not inferior to the most famous basketball player in Huaguo, Dayao.

On the one hand, Wang Chao is in the limelight and has a huge momentum. On the other hand, with Dayao's hard work and Wang Chao's loose attitude, the domestic attitude towards Wang Chao has obviously loosened.

As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Even between countries, they could fight to the death yesterday, but today they can shake hands and help each other, not to mention Wang Chao and the domestic basketball team who have no deep hatred. Association?
The two sides each give each other a step down, and the Basketball Association can regain Wang Chao as a general, reduce the pressure from the private media and fans, and make every effort to prepare for the best sprint in the 08 Olympic Games.

But for Wang Chao, if he bowed his head a little, he could gain both fame and fortune, so why not do it?What's more, as a time traveler, he only had a rough guess until now, and he didn't have the feeling of personal experience like the other Wang Chao, so naturally he wouldn't be particularly resistant.

As he mentioned before, with the rapid development of the information age in the future, nothing will be a secret. If it is really another Wang Chao who has been treated unfairly, once the truth is revealed, the pressure of public opinion alone will be enough to help him Solve all the problems. After all, Wang Chao is not an ordinary person. As a well-known player, his popularity and influence cannot be ignored.

……

Turn the perspective back to the game.

At the beginning of the Suns, the offense mainly revolved around the pick-and-roll tactics of Nash and Stoudemire.

But under the systematic defense of the Suns, the effect is not very obvious.

Although Stoudemire has recovered well after returning from injury this season, he has obviously not reached the peak state before the injury.

In the 04-05 season, the opponent of the Suns in the Western Conference finals was also the Spurs. At that time, Stoudemire faced Duncan and averaged 5 points and 37 rebounds in 9.8 games. The experienced Duncan faced Stoudemire. He seemed very uncomfortable when he played with the ball and attacked the frame with great impact.

But two years later, when they met again in the Western Conference Finals, the situation was completely different.

Stoudemire doesn't have the explosive power he had two years ago. Although his skills are more mature and his mid-range shooting has gradually developed, in terms of scoring explosive power, it is obviously still a bit lower than before the injury.

On the other hand, the important reason is that Duncan didn't adapt to Stoudemire's style of play in the first playoffs, which doesn't mean he won't adapt every time in the future.

As a power forward who can be regarded as one of the strongest in history, Duncan's defensive ability and high IQ are scary. Stoudemire can take advantage of his physical advantage in a few games. If the number of games is extended, Duncan is bound to find out the characteristics of the opponent and make corresponding defensive adjustments, just like in this game.

Fortunately, the real core of the Suns is Nash, and Stoudemire is just the end point of the offense.

The Suns and the Spurs are old enemies no matter they are now, in the past or in the years to come. However, in the confrontation between the two teams, the Suns only won once. It was in the semifinals of the 09-10 season. Demier teamed up and scored an average of 20+ points per game, leading the Suns to sweep the Spurs 4:0, and finally took revenge.

But before that, the Suns fell in front of the Spurs countless times in the playoffs. The opponent was like a mountain in front of the Suns. During the season, the Suns traded for Shaq O'Neal in order to spend a lot of money on Duncan and failed to beat the Spurs.

Of course, things are different now.

The Suns not only have Nash and Stoudemire, but also Wang Chao!
Seeing that the two didn't do much against the Spurs' defense, Wang Chao finally took action.

When he saw Wang Chao start running on the field, the expression on Bao Wen's face immediately became bitter.

"What should come will always come..."
