At the beginning of the third quarter of the second half, Wang Chao returned to the court as the team's starter.

And off the field, James. Jones looked at Wang Chao with a disdainful sneer, and recalled in his mind what Wang Chao said to the head coach in the locker room earlier.

"That guy, I'm afraid it wasn't my brain that caught the door, right? Is it really that simple to think about the playoffs? The manager is also interesting enough, such a naïve and clumsy idea would actually agree, or later, when he is deflated on the field, he will definitely be replaced quickly, and then I will have more opportunities to play. ”

James. It's not a day or two that Jones has been unhappy with Wang Chao, the two have similar playing styles, and in terms of comprehensive ability, James. Jones is slightly stronger than Wang Chao, but in terms of three-point shooting, Wang Chao is far superior to Jones, which also leads to Jones's stable playing time in the first half of the regular season gradually being eaten away by Wang Chao.

Whoever it is, looking at your competitors will be particularly unhappy.

James. Jones also united with the players with better relations in the team to isolate Wang Chao and deliberately did not pass the ball to Wang Chao, and the beams of the two sides also came to an end, the two almost never spoke in ordinary times, and rarely cooperated on the court, and they were unwilling to pass the ball to each other.

It's just that both of them are only role players of the team, so not many people have noticed it, and even if they find out, they won't take it seriously, whether it is Wang Chao or Jones, the coffee position has not reached the level that can affect the team.

……

Wang Chao, who walked on the court, took a deep breath, this time, it was really a big gamble for him, if it happened, he could get the trust of head coach D'Antoni and even most of the players in the team, and he could also prove his ability.

But if it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But Wang Chao had no choice, in order to have a chance to complete the tasks of the system and get rewards, he could only choose this way.

Lakers ball possession, Kobe Bryant in Laga. Bell's defense shot from mid-range, the shot missed the basket, and Dio protected the defensive rebound, and the Suns attacked quickly.

Wang Chao took the lead with long legs, but Kobe Bryant caught up with him at a faster speed, still like before, not giving him a chance to make an easy shot.

Wang Chao quickly ran to the bottom corner of the three-point position and stood still, and Kobe's vigilance relaxed a little.

In the first half, Wang Chao was also like this when he was on the field, when he was marked by Kobe throughout the whole process to the point that it was difficult to receive the ball, he stood in the bottom corner, so that Kobe could not participate in the team's defense and pull space for his teammates.

But this time, things are different.

Nash, who advanced to the three-point line with the ball, waited for his teammates to settle down one after another, and actually chose to pass the ball directly, and the target of the pass was none other than Wang Chao who was standing in the bottom corner.

Seeing Wang Chao catch the ball, even Kobe Bryant was slightly stunned.

At this time, he was standing in front of Wang Chao, what did Nash do when he passed the ball to the other party?

But at the next moment, after receiving the ball, Wang Chao didn't make any adjustments, and just raised his hand and threw it!

Kobe Bryant in the difference reacted a beat slower, and when he jumped up and raised his hand to interfere, Wang Chao had already pulled out the basketball in his hand.

Under the bonus effect of the fast gunner's talent, Wang Chao's shooting speed is amazing.

The basketball flies into the sky under everyone's gaze and then ......

"Shh——!h

Hollow into the net.

"Wouldn't it? Make no mistake! ”

"That guy, he actually shot like this in front of Kobe, and he was too bold!"

"Is this a complete lack of attention to Kobe's defense?"

Some of the fans on the sidelines exclaimed, and Kobe's expression on the court became slightly serious.

"Boy, this way of stealing chickens and dogs, don't think about succeeding in front of me for the second time!"

Kobe, who was a little upset by Wang Chao's sneak attack, directly spewed trash talk.

Wang Chao ignored Kobe Bryant and turned back to defense.

As a rookie with a total rating of only 54, how to score in the face of Kobe, whose ability value is at least above 95 at this time, and has even reached the peak of 97?

Wang Chao's answer is to rely on static talent.

Compared with Kobe, Wang Chao's advantage is only 99 points of three-point ability and 2.06 meters tall.

To be reasonable, Wang Chao has 99 post-dribble three-pointers and 99 interfered three-pointers, even in the face of Kobe, he will not be particularly cowardly, especially when the shooting speed has been trained so fast and there is a height advantage.

However, in the first half, Kobe Bryant's defense against him was too good, and a passing master like Nash would not choose to pass the ball to him when he saw Kobe Bryant clinging to Wang Chao.

Wang Chaokong wanted to show his thoughts, but he couldn't catch the ball at all.

So at half-time, he plucked up his courage and made a small request with head coach D'Antoni.

In the second half, he wanted to try his hand at Kobe Bryant.

When he heard this, both D'Antoni and the other players in the team felt that Wang Chao was crazy, or that his good performance in the second half of the regular season made him completely inflated.

Who gave him the courage to single Kobe Bryant, the league's top outside defender?

But after some thought, D'Antoni decided to give Wang Chao a chance.

Because in the first half of the game, the other players of the Suns did not play very well, including Nash, Marion and other core players played mediocre, and the Suns really need someone to stand up and reverse the current unfavorable situation.

Whether Wang Chao can do it or not, he must at least give it a try.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chao's first goal was actually scored.

D'Antoni was surprised on the sidelines, but at the same time had some thoughts in his heart.

"Isn't it that I've always been a little contemptuous of Wang Chao's ability......"

The game continued on the court, Kobe Bryant broke through to the basket with the ball, passed the ball and assisted Odom to score a layup, and pulled one back for the Lakers.

The Suns attacked, and after Nash dribbled past half court, he actually passed the ball to Wang Chao again.

Although this choice was very surprising, Kobe Bryant reacted extremely quickly, immediately approaching Wang Chao, constantly interfering with his hands, and not giving Wang Chao any space to shoot easily.

In the face of Kobe Bryant's death-entangled defense, Wang Chao's choice was to hold the basketball high above his head, use the advantage of height to protect the ball to avoid being cut off by Kobe, and then suddenly accelerated from Kobe's side to break through, and actually wanted to break through with the ball.

"What?"

Kobe Bryant was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Chao to choose to break through, at this distance, Wang Chao's advantage of height and arm length was fully utilized, the distance between the two was too close, so that the other party only needed one step to pass him.

At this moment, Kobe Bryant retreated quickly almost instinctively, and at the same time moved sideways in the direction of Wang Chao's breakthrough, trying to use the advantage of his speed to intercept the opponent's breakthrough.

However, after Wang Chao took a step forward from dribbling, he immediately collected the ball and retreated to outside the three-point line, and directly jumped and shot.
