(I have a headache, I don't want to check for typos, so I'll check and revise it when I get a little better.) )

Wang Chao actually made suggestions on the team's defensive tactics, which was really the first time in the world.

The entire locker room was quiet for two seconds because of Wang Chao's abrupt words.

D'Antoni was stunned for two seconds, then nodded and said.

"Of course, Dirk is our focus on limiting, as long as we can limit his play, then we can win the game, but after all, the opponent is one of the most offensive power forwards in the league, and it is not so easy to defend."

Wang Chao knows that what he can say is limited to this, and anything more will only make the head coach feel that he is pointing fingers.

If you want to spend the next second half, it is unrealistic to rely on the team or teammates, and Wang Chao has to play by himself.

Soon, the third quarter of the game began.

Nowitzki, as Wang Chao expected, began to exert his power, frequently scoring with his signature trick Golden Rooster in the mid-range position, and successfully caused fouls, and the free throws were also very stable.

Nowitzki's offensive rotation made it a bit difficult for the Suns to resist, but the Mavericks didn't regain the advantage.

Because on the Suns' side, there are also people who keep scoring.

Wang Chao!

Wang Chao, who had consumed a huge amount of physical energy through a lot of running in the middle of the game, continued to run without the ball in the third quarter. Howard is a little tired, and there is no way to continue to follow Wang Chao's footsteps like in the first half, after all, unlike Wang Chao, Howard not only has to follow Wang Chao on the defensive end, but also has to worry about Nowitzki on the offensive end.

In the first half, Josh. Howard also scored 13 points, second only to Nowitzki in scoring with the Mavericks and even higher than Terry.

This led to the entire third quarter of the game, Wang Chao relied on running to find open opportunities many times, and scored 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting from beyond the three-point line.

In addition to Wang Chao, the Suns also had 6 points and 4 assists, Marion 7 points, Dio 4 points, and the team scored 31 points in a single quarter, while the Mavericks only Nowitzki maintained a stable scoring efficiency, so he only scored 26 points.

The margin went from one point at halftime to six points.

For the Suns, they have already grasped the opportunity to win in this crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Wang Chao knew that the real trouble was still in the final fourth quarter of the game.

Approaching a desperate situation, Nowitzki finally broke out.

At the beginning of the game, he immediately hit two shots in a row, including a three-pointer, and directly closed the gap to one point.

D'Antoni had to call a timeout and looked at Nowitzki with a huge headache.

"That guy, that's really hard to deal with......"

At this time, Nowitzki has scored 33 points, and looking at the momentum, he will continue to take over the Mavericks' offense for the rest of the fourth quarter.

They have to find a way to contain Nowitzki's offense, after all, the current Suns don't have a player with scoring explosiveness that can compete with a top star like Nowitzki, not even Nash.

"The next step is to use the bag and trap tactic......"

D'Antoni couldn't help but be stunned when he thought about it in his heart, and he suddenly sounded the suggestion made by Wang Chao at halftime, although he heard Wang Chao's words a little nonsense at the time, but ......

At this moment, Wang Chao is still resting off the court, and in the third quarter of the game, his uncontrolled crazy running has almost exhausted his physical energy, and he is unable to support him to continue to play in the fourth quarter of the game.

But his comeback was not for nothing.

In the third quarter of the game, Wang Chao has made 10 of 19 three-point shots and scored as many as 30 points, which is the most stable and efficient scoring point on the Suns' side.

The 10 three-pointers also tied the single-game three-point shooting record set by Wang Chao himself not long ago.

It seems that Wang Chao's scoring efficiency is no less than Nowitzki's, and even his 52.6% three-point shooting rate is even higher than Nowitzki's.

Of course, such a comparison is not fair in itself, and Nowitzki's defensive attention is far from being comparable to Wang Chao's, and Nowitzki is also involved in the team's defense, rebounding and other work.

On the other hand, Wang Chao hardly needs to undertake any other work except for floating on the outside to shoot three points.

In the second game, the king super-defended Josh. After Howard was cut by the opponent for 29 points, D'Antoni gave up letting Wang Chao defend the opponent.

Although the Suns are a team that does not pay attention to defense, they still attach great importance to the ability to defend at a single point. Bale won't be the team's starting point guard either.

Wang Chao has less pressure than Nowitzki, and does not need to take on more responsibilities, and his only purpose on the court is to find open opportunities as he can, and then Nashna's master pass will pass the ball to him with incredible precision.

In this case, it is not surprising to score 30 points in three quarters.

Merely......

"At this stage, I'm afraid the upper limit is limited to this."

Wang Chao, who was sitting on the bench, watched Nowitzki continue to go crazy after a pause, even if the Suns used a two-person package tactic, it was difficult to completely stop the opponent's scoring, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious and helpless.

He will really not be able to run, even if he barely stands on the field, he can only be used as a fixed-point battery, and even because of serious physical overdraft, it is difficult to say whether he can guarantee the hit rate.

However, Wang Chao still has a chance to play in this game, as long as he sits on the bench and rests until the last few minutes of the game, the recovered physical strength should be able to support him to play a few rounds.

And in this process, the Suns can only resist Nowitzki's offense!

Fortunately, what made Wang Chao breathe a sigh of relief was that at such a critical moment, someone on the Suns' side still stood up, and this person was naturally the only leader of the team, Nash, who had just won the regular season MVP.

Nash didn't feel particularly good throughout the game today, shooting 3-of-8 in the first half and missing two attempted shots in the third quarter.

After entering the fourth quarter, Nash's touch still did not recover, and he only made 1 of 3 shots in front of him.

But when it came time to win or lose the game, Nash still didn't hold back.

Since the feel is not good, then I don't feel it, okay?

Nash immediately began to use his teammates to block and rush to the basket to force fouls and win free throws.

Despite his poor hand, Nash's free throw shooting percentage was still on the line, with 5 of 5 free throws and 100% of the free throws to help the team bite the score.

As the game passed, the scores of the two teams were still alternating upwards, and the hearts of the Suns' home fans began to hang.

Nowitzki's state in the fourth quarter of the game was really hot, and if it continues like this, the Suns may not be able to win this game.

"Huh!"

The crisp sound of brushing the net sounded!

The referee raised his hand to signal that the three-point line was valid, and Nowitzki, who was standing outside the three-point line, raised his hand high like a swan.

And with this three-point shot, the hearts of the fans couldn't help but sink.

Because with Nowitzki's three-pointer, his personal score in this game has reached 50 points, and this three-point shot also managed to give the Mavericks a two-point lead, which was less than 2 minutes after the end of the close game.
