Wang Chao's whole set of movements looks very stiff, and even a little stumbling, even if he misses the ball at any time, it is not strange at all.

But no matter how reluctant it was, Wang Chao still used this set of breakthroughs and retreat to shoot.

To some extent, the step-back shot is also a type of shooting after dribbling, and Wang Chao's 99 three-point shooting after dribbling is also effective.

That's the most important thing.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect Wang Chao to use such a trick at all, although he stopped at the first time and stepped forward to defend, but the hand he raised didn't have time to block the vision in front of Wang Chao.

Basketball hollow into the net for precise hits.

2 of 2 three-pointers! And all of them were hit in front of Kobe.

Everyone was stunned at this moment.

Even Kobe Bryant himself looked at Wang Chao with an incredulous expression.

Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's done!

Regardless of what happens next, these two three-pointers are enough to make Suns teammates and head coach D'Antoni trust him.

What Wang Chao needs to bet on is how high the 99 interfered three-point ability value and the 5% shooting rate bonus given by the marksman can be maintained under Kobe's defense.

Obviously, Wang Chao scored 6 points in a row, which made the Lakers impatient, or Kobe Bryant played a little impetuously on the court.

In the face of Bale's defense, Kobe Bryant forced a breakthrough directly to the basket, and forced a step-back jumper against the Suns' three-man bag defense, of course, such a difficult shooting percentage will not be too high, and the rebound was picked up by Marion, followed by the Suns' lightning-fast counterattack.

"Hurry up and keep up with Wang Chao! Don't let him shoot easily! ”

The Lakers hurriedly returned to defense, and Kobe Bryant was far away from Wang Chao because he had just broken through to the basket, and it was too late to catch up with Wang Chao at this time, so he could only shout to his teammates to help defend.

Facing Wang Chao, who had already hit two three-pointers in a row, the Lakers did not dare to slack off, and a player immediately followed Wang Chao and ran straight to the bottom corner of the left three-point line.

But as a result, the Lakers' original defense line was also flawed.

Nash rushed to the basket first and scored on a one-handed layup.

The game seemed to be opened up all at once, and the Suns' extremely difficult offense in the first half, especially in the second quarter, became extremely easy at this time.

That's the effect of a top scorer's deterrent power.

With the center of gravity shifted defensively, both Nash and Marion on the Suns' side got a lot of good opportunities, Nash shot 5-of-6 and Marion shot 3-of-5, and the two scored 11 and 8 points respectively.

But in the entire third quarter of the game, the most dazzling boy was Wang Chao.

In the face of Kobe's defense, Wang Chao did not continue to choose to escape, but had the courage to face it, and tried to single Kobe Bryant many times during the game.

Throughout the third quarter, Wang Chao made as many as 9 shots from outside the three-point line, hitting 4 shots and scoring 12 points, with a three-point shooting rate of 44.4%.

Of course, if you remove the two balls that Wang Chao sneaked up on Kobe Bryant at the beginning, then Wang Chao singled out Kobe Bryant should have shot 2 of 7, and the shooting rate was less than 3 percent.

No way, although Wang Chao has a full-value three-point shooting ability, but the gap between other skills and Kobe Bryant is too big, just a few more rounds of confrontation, Kobe Bryant has penetrated Wang Chao's bottoms, no matter what kind of feint posture he makes, Kobe Bryant is not moved at all.

It's just that, judging from the trend of the game throughout the third quarter, it is obvious that Kobe Bryant's defense of Wang Chao has failed.

Although the 44.4% three-point shooting rate is lower than Wang Chao's previous efficiency, it is definitely not an inefficient offense when looking at the league, especially during the playoffs, and Wang Chao's offense outside the three-point line has also successfully pulled the overall offensive rhythm of the Suns.

Counting Wang Chao's 12 points, the Suns scored 36 points in the third quarter, but the Lakers only scored 28 points in a single quarter.

The 13-point margin was chased by the Suns to only 5 points, and that's not all!

As soon as the game came on the court in the fourth quarter, both teams were still on the bench at the end of the third quarter, but Wang Chao was still on the court.

Wang Chao, who had little playing time in the first half, only played about 8 minutes in the third quarter, and he was still very physical, and D'Antoni also hoped that Wang Chao's hot hand could further assist the Suns to achieve a greater advantage.

Wang Chao lived up to D'Antoni's expectations.

With the two teams mostly playing with substitute players, Wang Chao's ability to run without the ball after two months of hard work has been maximized.

Lakers backup forward Vujacic couldn't keep up with Wang Chao's running at all, and was thrown away by Wang Chao with his running for three consecutive rounds, and then calmly shot outside the three-point line.

In 2 of 3 shots, Wang Chao scored another 6 points, raising his personal score to 18 points, and at the same time, the Lakers had to call a timeout, and then replaced the main player in advance.

The fourth quarter lasted less than 2 minutes, and the difference between the two teams was only 3 points.

Kobe Bryant, who re-appeared, began to take over the ball and frequently held the ball to attack, but the Suns had long expected this scene and did not hesitate to use the trap tactic against Kobe.

The black mamba is worthy of being a black mamba, and there is no cowardice in the face of many people, I just want to shoot when I should shoot, and if you have the ability, you will prevent me from killing!

Then in the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant shot 3 of 8 and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 9 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers only scored 22 points in the entire fourth quarter.

On the Suns' side, Marion scored 6 points on 3-of-6 shooting, Barbossa scored 5 points on 2-of-3 shooting, and Wang Chao, who scored 6 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, scored 6 points on 2-of-5 three-pointers in the next 10 minutes, and scored another 12 points in the fourth quarter.

The Suns scored 29 points in the fourth quarter, reversing the Lakers with a total score of 110-107 and winning the match point early with a total score of 3-0.

"Why is this happening?"

The fans at the Staples Center looked at each other with a look of despair.

At the end of the first half, they thought they had won the game, and although the team won this game and was still in the stage of falling behind by a large score, at least there was still a little hope.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed abruptly in the second half, and the good 2:1 directly turned into a desperate 3:0.

Wang Chao was undoubtedly the key factor in dominating the reversal.

Wang Chao, who didn't score 1 point in the first half, shot a lot of three-pointers in the second half, whether it was in the face of Kobe's defense or other Lakers players, he shot very decisively and without hesitation.

Throughout the second half, Wang Chao hit a total of 8 of 17 shots outside the three-point line, maintained a three-point shooting rate of 47%, and scored 24 points, which is the highest scoring player in the Suns and even in the whole game!

The second-highest scorer on the Suns' side was Marion, who had 18 points and seven rebounds.

As for Kobe Bryant, his state in today's game was not very good, he was chased and intercepted by many Suns, only 6 of 18 shots in the game, 8 of 10 free throws, 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and the score was also not as high as Wang Chaogao.

In this way, the duel between Wang Chao and Kobe Bryant actually ended with Wang Chao's victory, although the duel is not too fair, and Wang Chao has not defended Kobe Bryant in the game, but who cares?
