The schedule in March was not very difficult for the Suns, with the vast majority of the first half of the game being played in Phoenix, the Suns' home court, and only a few teams such as the San Anthony Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks were stronger.

Therefore, in the first half of the month, the Suns can still maintain a high winning rate, with 1 win and 1 loss in the two games with the Spurs, winning the home game and losing the road, and the game with the Mavericks on the road is also successfully won.

However, as we approached the end of the month, the Suns had a not-so-friendly schedule.

From March 27 to April 2, the Suns ushered in a wave of five consecutive road games, against the Nets, Bucks, Pacers, Raptors and Pistons.

The Pistons are the team with the best record in the East, with wins on par with the Spurs or even slightly better, the Nets are third in the East, and the Bucks and Pacers are teams on the verge of the playoffs, and every game is a life-and-death struggle for them, and such a team is even more difficult than the Pistons and the Nets.

Among them, I am afraid that the Raptors are the team with the bottom record and slightly easier to deal with.

After 5 consecutive away games, the Suns were exhausted by all the tiredness of the journey, and finally only achieved a 2-3 record.

But this wave of five-in-a-row guests has become Wang Chao's opportunity.

In order not to allow too much fatigue to accumulate and cause injuries, D'Antoni reduced the playing time of his main starters, and the corresponding substitutes played more minutes.

Wang Chao played more than 28 minutes in all five games, and even started the team again in two games.

The increased playing time and ball possession allowed Wang Chao to average 17 points and 2 rebounds per game in five games, and the three-point shooting rate can always be maintained above 50%, which can always ensure a very high efficiency value.

Throughout March, Wang surpassed the 17 games he played, and his average data per game has gradually risen to 16.2 points and 1.7 rebounds.

This average of points per game is beyond everyone's expectations, because it is already the third on the Suns' team, behind Marion, who averages 21 points per game, and Nash, who averages 18.8 points per game.

More than 80% of Wang Chao's scores come from three-point shots, and now teams across the league know that Wang Chao's three-point shots are very accurate, and they will also guard him strictly.

But when they really do this, they will be stunned to find that Wang Chao's three-point shot does not seem to be so easy to defend.

First of all, Wang Chao's height of 2.06 meters is already the best among small forwards, and with an arm span of 2.18 meters, it is difficult for a slightly shorter forward player to cover his shots.

Secondly, since optimizing his shooting action and obtaining the talent of a fast gunner, Wang Chao's shooting speed has reached the average level of the league's first-tier shooters.

Then there is Wang Chao's three-point shooting ability, especially 99's interference three-point shooting, which makes his shooting percentage ridiculously high.

Last but not least, during this month, Wang Chao has been constantly studying and studying running without the ball, while never stopping his physical training.

As of the end of March, all the 10 bottles of stamina potions that the system rewarded Wang Chao had been used up, and his ability value had also improved slightly.

The most obvious of these is the ability value of mid-range shooting in the open position, just like Wang Chao himself said before, not only three points, but at least mid- and long-distance shooting must also have a certain deterrent.

In the past month, Wang Chao has to practice mid-distance shooting every day, and the training of marksman talent has increased, and now he has successfully exercised the vacant mid-range shooting ability value to 88, and a large number of mid-distance shooting exercises have also led to the improvement of the mid-range shooting ability value after dribbling and the interference mid-range shooting ability value.

In addition, Wang Chao's extensive physical training has also begun to bear fruit, his lowest speed is the most increased, and now it has reached 74, finally entering the 70 mark, agility 79, and the most physical strength required for running without the ball is just 80.

Wang Chao's total rating has now come to 54, which is still very weak, but it has increased by 2 points compared to when he first came.

It took nearly two months for Wang Chao to evaluate these 2 points, and if it is calculated according to this, if it is calculated by adding 1 point of total evaluation a month, Wang Chao can improve the overall rating of 12 points of ability value in a year, from 54 to 99 full value of the total evaluation, which is only about 4 years.

Of course, stats can't be calculated in this way.

In recent training, Wang Chao has gradually noticed that with the increase of ability value, the speed of improvement is gradually slowing down, the most obvious of which is the vacant mid-range shot that has reached 88.

As early as half a month ago, his vacant mid-range shot had been increased to 86, at that time Wang Chao was full of confidence, thinking that he would be able to increase this ability value to 90 in another half a month, but half a month later, it was only an increase of two points from 86 to 88.

It's already so difficult before you reach 90, and that's with the extra training time of the Stamina Potion plus the Marksman's talent experience bonus.

Wang Chao can completely imagine that once the ability value reaches more than 90, each level of improvement may require an unimaginable amount of training to achieve.

"Couldn't the system do anything more to speed up the efficiency of my training progress? Or just like the three-point shot, just give me a 99-point boost to other abilities? ”

complained like this, but Wang Chao also knew that it was better to rely on others than on himself, the system has provided him with a good start and platform, and he also needs to work hard to make these completely his own, just like the three-point shooting ability given to him by the system, Wang Chao also needs to use his brain to change the shooting posture and learn the skills of running without the ball to maximize it.

It would be better if there was a systematic task that could accelerate his progress and become stronger, even if he didn't, it didn't matter, just like that, he could also take root and stand firm in the NBA.

……

After the end of March, the NBA regular season will be like entering the final end.

The Suns only have the last 10 games left in April, and given that the team is currently stable in the second place in the West, the Suns are not particularly important to the outcome of the next 10 games.

In the end, the Suns had a 4-6 record in these 10 games.

With the Suns' 106-96 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on the road on April 19, the Suns' regular season officially ended with a 55-27 record.

This record ranks fourth in the league, behind the Pistons, Spurs and Mavericks, three teams with 60 wins.
