The game entered the second half, and the situation did not change in the slightest for the Lakers.

They can't prevent Stoudemire, they can't prevent the Suns' offense, and they can't prevent Wang Chao, who is starting to fire gradually on the outside.

By the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams had widened to more than 20 points.

Wang Chao hit two more three-pointers in the third quarter, and his personal score increased to 19 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Chao did not play again because the score difference was too huge, and when the fourth quarter of the game was about 5 minutes, the two teams had already changed to a full bench lineup, and the game ended early.

Stoudemire made a perfect comeback debut, shooting 10-of-17 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line for 24 points and seven rebounds in just 28 minutes.

However, Stoudemire's strong performance did not completely overshadow Wang Chao's brilliance.

Wang, who evolved in the offseason, has noticeably become more difficult than last season, and has more ways to score, now not only firing from beyond the three-point line, but also being lethal from mid-range.

Wang Chao, who played 26 minutes, made 7 of 13 shots, including 5 of 10 three-pointers, and scored 19 points and 3 rebounds.

This score is second only to Stoudemire within the Suns.

Stoudemire's return from injury is not necessarily a bad thing for Wang Chao, although Stoudemire will take up a lot of the ball and shots, but his super offensive ability on the inside can also allow outside players to get more opportunities.

Stoudemire, who has top-level interior offensive ability, is not at the same level as Marion at all in terms of his ability to pull under the basket.

The second half of the fourth quarter was already in full garbage time, and Kenny. Smith couldn't help but say to Barkley: "Charles, you are right, the overall strength of the Suns is indeed much stronger than that of the Lakers, but do you still think that Wang Chao is not good?" ”

"Hmph." Barkley snorted a little unconvinced, "He played really well today, but the wins and losses of one or two games don't mean anything, the current Lakers themselves are not a team that is good at defense, and there are Stoudemire and Nash to share the defensive pressure for him, of course, he can play well, and when he faces the Spurs, the Pistons, these teams can still play well." ”

Smith smiled.

"Then what do you think Wang Chao's average data per game will reach this season, and can he reach the level of 20+ points per game in the playoffs last season?"

"Of course not, why? Just by his running around style? Barkley said categorically without thinking. Last season's playoffs were an exception, when the Suns had no other strong scoring points, and it just so happened that Wang Chao's outside hand was good, so he was given more playing time, and the current Suns team is different, Stoudemire and Marion both need to score, as well as Nash, Barbossa, Dio and others. ”

"What's more, there are only a dozen games in the playoffs, and it's not uncommon to play a little better and play at a high level, but the regular season is different, and there are 82 games in a long season, so I don't believe this kid can still maintain this form for most of the year."

As he said this, Barkley rolled his eyes and looked at Smith with bad intentions. "I remember that you wanted to bet with me on Wang Chao's performance, but I wittily refused, and now you dare to bet with me? Let's bet on whether the king can do 20+ in the regular season. ”

"Okay." Smith happily agreed, "What's the bet?" ”

"A few years ago, I lost a bet on another Chinese player and ended up kissing a donkey's butt in front of a national audience, which was the biggest stain on my commentator's career." Barkley said: "I decided to get up from where I fell, and whoever loses in this gamble will have to taste the dung of the donkey I kissed." ”

"Uh...... It's disgusting. Smith looked disgusted, "Charles, I won't make this bet with you, or change to someone else." ”

"It doesn't matter, if you lose, you can exchange for a different punishment." Barkley said unconcernedly: "But I want to make it clear to all the viewers here, I don't think Wang Chao can average 20+ points per game in the regular season this season, and if he can do it, I will taste Kenny." ”

Kenny here is certainly not talking about Kenny. Smith, but the name of the donkey that Barkley kissed.

In fact, at that time, Barkley and Smith made a bet that they would kiss Smith's ass if they lost. Smith moved in a donkey named Kenny, and Barkley completed the classic.

So in fact, this kind of gambling contract is just a gimmick for fun, and it won't be taken seriously, it's just a tacit understanding between the two commentators who have eaten the sweetness.

In fact, Barkley later played more and more flowers, making many bets on the show, and even later did not talk to Kenny. Smith played and directly engaged in self-amusement.

When the Lakers win, when to eat, the Warriors to eat if they win the championship, etc.

Barkley really got the hang of the traffic password.

This bet successfully aroused the interest of many viewers in front of the TV, and they really wanted to see the live broadcast of Barkley eating donkey dung.

At the same time, Wang Chao, who was already sitting on the bench to wipe his sweat and was about to wait for the last few minutes to return to the locker room, suddenly stopped wiping his sweaty towel.

"Ding - Trigger a random quest and slap Barkley in the face."

"Mission goal, increase the average score per game to more than 20 points before the end of the regular season, complete the task, and successfully slap Barkley in the face, you will receive reward one: 500 points, and reward two: random talent skills."

Wang Chao was directly stunned.

"What's going on?"

It's a good thing that the system has tasks, but why is that? Slap Barkley in the face? What happened to Barkley?

At this time, Wang Chao didn't know that the big-mouthed Barkley had boasted about Haikou in front of the live TV.

But with such a rich reward, Wang Chao will never miss it no matter what.

500 points is the equivalent of 50 regular season wins, enough to buy 50 potions of potion stamina at the vending machine!

Compared to the reward of 500 points, random talent skills are obviously more tempting.

After all, there are many ways to earn points, and there will be a lot of points awarded for regular season and playoff victories, including the season rating after the season.

And even if there are no points and you can't exchange them for training potions, Wang Chao's direct training can steadily improve your ability.

But natural skills are different, so far there is no way to obtain natural skills stably except for completing system tasks to get rewards.
