Wang Chao and Jones have been at odds for a long time.

The two are in direct competition within the team, because they are in the same position and positioning, and they are both fixed-point three-point shooters.

At the beginning, Jones looked down on Wang Chao, thinking that the other party was just a bastard who entered the league by virtue of his status as a Chinese player, who wanted to play in the NBA without any ability, and tried to compete with him for precious playing time.

Therefore, Jones intentionally or unintentionally isolated Wang Chao in the team.

As the standard dogleg of the future Zhan Huang, a guard with a knife, Jones has a high emotional intelligence, although he is only a marginal player in the Suns, he can get along with his teammates, and the original Wang Chao is limited by the identity of a Chinese player and a more withdrawn personality, and he is easily isolated by Jones, and in the end, the whole team only Dieng, a marginal person who sympathizes with him, has become his only friend.

He inherited another Wang Chao's memory, for James. Jones, of course, didn't have any favorites.

Although Wang Chao knows very well that this kind of intrigue is not uncommon in the NBA, in order to stabilize the position of the team, any behavior can be done, after all, even if it is a marginal figure in the NBA, the salary of a season is a huge amount of money that ordinary workers may not earn in a lifetime.

Fortunately, Wang Chao crossed over and had the system, so he soared to the sky last season and became an important scoring point for the Suns, completely suppressing Jones with his performance on the court.

It turns out that performance on the field can ignore all the intrigue that goes off the field.

This is also known as one force to ten meetings.

No matter how much Jones makes small moves behind his back, there is no real way to score 20+ or even 30+ points in a game, unless the Suns suddenly become the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Jones hugs James' thigh now.

Glancing at Jones, who may have been cursing himself in a circle behind his back, Wang Chao didn't take the other party to heart at all, but continued to talk to reporters, and once again performed his ultra-long-distance three-point shooting stunt after gaining sniper talent.

On this open training day, the reporters returned with a full load and were very satisfied.

Stoudemire has returned from injury in excellent form and should be able to show the same fighting power as he did in the 04-06 season before the injury.

Neither Nash, Marion nor others have seen a significant decline in form with age.

And the biggest surprise is undoubtedly Wang Chao, who has completed his evolution in less than three months.

Wang Chao's shooting has become more accurate, developing mid-range and ultra-long-distance three-pointers, and his athleticism has also been greatly improved, and the improvement of athleticism will also correspondingly improve Wang Chao's defensive ability, after all, where is the height of 2.06 meters and the arm span of 2.18 meters, as long as the speed can keep up, even if Wang Chao just stands in front of the offensive player, he can play a good defensive effect.

This Suns team has given the local media in Phoenix hope of winning the championship in the new season.

The day after the end of the open training day, major media wrote articles praising the Suns, and said that the full Suns will be one of the biggest favorites to win the championship in the new season.

Naturally, Phoenix fans are enthusiastic and can't wait for the start of the new season.

A few more days later, September passed, and the time came to early October, and the NBA preseason began.

After more than ten days of training, most of the Suns players have recovered to a relatively good competitive state.

Wang Chao, on the other hand, seized the time of more than ten days and further improved his ability values by training the increase of potions.

Before the preseason is about to start, Wang Chao's ability values are detailed as follows.

Overall: 66.

Offensive overall score (68): dunk on the spot (47) cut to the basket (80) cut to dunk (51) close range shot (82) open shot (90) interfered shot (84) dribble shot (81) open three-point shot (99) interfered three-point shot (99) three-point shot after dribbling (99) free throw (85) back hook hand (52) back body movement (61) back back jump shot (62) foul making ability (37) ball control ability (58) passing ability (56) Ability to catch the ball (71).

Defensive overall score (52): offensive rebounds (46) defensive rebounds (71) blocks (47) steals (32) outside defense (54) interior defense (61) card position ability (55).

Mental comprehensive score (58): offensive awareness (68), defensive awareness (51), passing awareness (52), defensive awareness (67), anti-interference (61), stability (51).

Physical fitness overall score (73.5): speed (81), agility (84), physical strength (89), strength (65), bounce (63), endurance (71), explosiveness (62).

The above is the breakdown of all Wang Chao's ability values, it can be seen that in terms of offense and physical fitness, Wang Chao has reached a relatively high level of substitute players in the league, but the defense and mental classes are still only in their early 50s, which also seriously lowers his overall rating of ability values.

In other words, putting aside the defensive end, just looking at the offensive end and focusing on the shooting link, and then counting the talent of the three shooting categories, Wang Chao can definitely rank among the league's shooters.

Wang Chao can't wait to try how strong his evolved combat power is in the competition!

……

On October 6, the preseason of the NBA2006-07 season officially began, and the Suns flew to Italy to play against the top giants of the Italian Serie A, Roma Vertus Basketball Club.

This is Stern's handiwork, and allowing NBA teams to play against teams from other leagues around the world during the preseason can have a great effect on promoting the NBA to the world.

In the near future, NBA preseason games will also be played against teams from the CBA.

Although Roma Vertus is extremely dominant in the Italian basketball league, it is significantly inferior to the NBA teams.

There is no suspense in this game at all, from the beginning of the game, the Suns firmly occupied the initiative in the game, Nash, Stoudemire, Marion and other main players played only about 15 minutes, which belonged to a symbolic appearance, to the Italian fans, and then the Suns' bench lineup defeated the main lineup of Roma Vertus, 98:76 to win the first preseason.

Wang Chao, who was gearing up, started the game in this preseason game and played 22 minutes in the whole game, shooting 6 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 20 points and 4 rebounds.

In the course of the game, Wang Chao would show off a wave of his ultra-long-distance three-pointers whenever he had the opportunity, and the accurate three-point shot from a distance of more than two meters from the three-point line also amazed the Italian fans, who asked what the name of the Asian player was.
