The 2006 All-Star Weekend was a regrettable All-Star memory for most Chinese fans.

As the ticket king, Da Yao only played 19 minutes in the All-Star Game, scoring 5 points and 2 rebounds, while Maddy, who is also a Houston star, scored 36 points, but could not lead the Western All-Star to win the game, and was finally defeated by the East by 2 points, and James, who had 29 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, was elected All-Star MVP.

But none of these things are important to Wang Chao.

At the same time that the All-Star Game was in full swing, he was sweating in the Suns' training gym.

The 10 bottles of stamina potions that won the three-point contest arrived, making Wang Chao's training twice as effective with half the effort.

At this stage, his combat effectiveness outside the three-point line has reached the extreme that can be done.

The three 99 three-point shooting ability values in itself, plus the 20% shooting speed of the Clippers, the 5% shooting rate bonus of the Sharpshooter, and the adjusted imitation Curry's shooting action, can basically ensure his shooting rate and stability outside the three-point line.

But Wang Chao knows that a player can't just shoot three-pointers, and even if he can stay in the NBA, he will only be a role player all the time.

Therefore, not long ago, Wang Chao has been practicing his mid-pitching ability.

With the shooting training experience bonus effect of the marksman's talent, Wang Chao has improved very quickly in shooting training, and has trained the empty mid-range shooting to 81 not long ago.

Not only that, the training of a large number of vacant mid-range shots has also led to the improvement of the other two abilities of mid-pitching, the ability value of mid-range shots after interference and dribbling.

The original attribute values of these two abilities were 46 and 55 respectively, which are absolutely unqualified in the NBA.

Now, these two abilities have improved a little with the practice of a large number of open shots, and now they have increased to 55 and 61 respectively.

The improvement may not be large, mainly because Wang Chao did not conduct targeted special training.

Wang Chao knows very well that these two ability values are not very useful to him at present.

First of all, he basically has no opportunity or qualification to attack with the ball in the Suns.

45's ability to control the ball and 47's offensive awareness determine Wang Chao's offense, but as long as he encounters a defender with a slightly better defense, he will never pose any threat.

The best way to get the most out of him is to shoot as soon as he catches the ball, and preferably in the open space.

In the Suns, which are dominated by run-and-bomb tactics, there are many such opportunities, and Nash's masterful passing ability is enough to ensure that Wang Chao will definitely have the opportunity to catch the ball once there is a vacancy.

Therefore, Wang Chao is not in a hurry to improve the ability to attack on his own, and he wants to maximize his advantages.

Wang Chao has a preliminary plan for his position with the Suns for a long time, and he wants to be a scorer who is similar to Hamilton or Thompson-style scorer who mainly plays without the ball.

It may be a little difficult on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, it's entirely possible with his 99-point shooting ability.

To do this, Wang Chao must improve his ability to run without the ball.

When it comes to running off the ball, what's most needed?

Speed, agility and a lot of stamina, of course.

Obviously, these Wang Chao are currently in the failing stage.

When he first crossed over here, his speed, agility, and stamina were 62, 71, and 70, respectively, which was definitely not high.

After half a month of NBA career and hard training, these three ability values have reached 66, 74 and 77 respectively.

Since Wang Chao had to train himself until he was exhausted every time and then use the stamina potion to recover, and make full use of the buff effect of the stamina potion within 12 hours after taking the stamina potion, the increase in physical strength was also the fastest, increasing by a full 7 points.

This is clearly not enough.

Wang Chao knows very well that after winning the three-point contest, teams across the league will pay more attention to their three-point shooting ability, and once he appears in every game, he will inevitably send someone to follow him at any time and not give him a chance to shoot.

If he wants to get as many shots as he did before, he has to create chances on his own.

A lot of switchbacks is essential, which is certainly a physical challenge.

The good news is that Wang Chao has not played much time per game, averaging just over 15 minutes per game so far, and has improved in recent games, but has also remained below 20 minutes.

This amount of playing time can still be handled with his current physical strength of 77.

But even in order to become a starter for the team in the future, aiming to play more than 30 minutes per game, Wang Chao has to make his physical fitness better.

The same goes for speed and agility.

With Wang Chao's height of 2.06 meters, his speed and agility can reach 70, which is actually a good level, but in order to enhance the effect of his running without the ball, it is inevitable to further strengthen his speed.

In this way, the direction and goal of Wang Chao's training have been very clear.

The ability to shoot in the open position should be further strengthened, although 81 is already above the league average, it is still not stable enough, at least it must go further and be more lethal.

In addition to the training of open mid-range shots, he also needs a lot of stamina and speed, agility and explosive training, and takes his dynamic talent to the next level.

Physical fitness-related training is not able to enjoy the training bonus effect of the marksman's talent, in fact, for the current Wang Chao, it is a little disadvantaged to practice, but there is no way, he must choose a path that is most suitable for him at this stage, and strive to gain a firm foothold in the league, and then consider other aspects.

Anyway, the sharpshooter talent has always existed in the talent tree, and it's not too late to practice other shooting abilities in the future.

……

After All-Star Weekend, teams across the league are heading into the final sprint of the regular season.

With less than 30 games remaining, teams that have not yet secured a playoff spot will have to fight for a chance to play in the playoffs, while teams that are already in the top eight in the East and West will be hoping to stabilize their positions and not be overtaken by other teams, while trying to continue to improve their team results and gain as much home advantage as possible in the playoffs.

For the Phoenix Suns, their current record is firmly in second place in the West, and their position is quite secure.

On the Western side, there are only three teams with a stable record of more than 60%, namely the Spurs, Mavericks and Suns, the first two have a winning rate of more than 70%, and it is not surprising that the regular season is likely to reach 60 wins.

The Suns currently have a 67% win rate, which is lower than the Spurs and Mavericks, and it's almost impossible to get 60 wins like last season, but more than 55 wins are not a big problem.

What's more, due to the division, although the Mavericks are far ahead of the Suns, they can only rank below the Suns and even the Nuggets with a win rate of only 55%, ranking fourth in the West.
