Chapter 67: Wang Chao's nemesis

As for why the system task was triggered suddenly and without warning, Wang Chao only learned through the outside world after the end of the game.

When the game ended, Wang Chao was stopped by a reporter before heading to the players' tunnel.

"Mr. Wang Chao, just now, TNT's commentator Barkley said that he thinks you can't average 20+ points per game in the regular season, and if you can do it, he is willing to taste donkey dung for this, what do you think about this, are you sure that Barkley will fulfill his promise?"

Wang Chao was stunned, and suddenly realized in his heart.

I see!

No wonder the system will give a task, it turns out that the big-mouthed Barkley is doing something again.

Wang Chao is not surprised that Barkley bets on himself, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Barkley, even in the future, Barkley will often bet on the performance of a game or a player in the league, which can be regarded as Barkley's traditional art.

It's just that I didn't expect Barkley to bet himself this time and actually do a good thing for him.

Bet on playing the system task, and there is no one.

After Wang Chao came back to his senses, he smiled in the face of the reporter's interview and said: "It's only the first game of the regular season, are you going to let me tell me my average points per game for the whole season?" I think how many points I can score on the court mainly depends on the manager's tactical arrangement and personal ability, as long as the team coach is willing to give me a chance, it is not impossible to average 20+ points per game. ”

"But personally, I tend to prioritize the team's wins and then think about my own personal performance, and it doesn't matter to me if I can average 20+ per game during the regular season."

Wang Chao lied, with the emergence of the task, the average score of 20+ points per game is above all for Wang Chao, and he will do everything possible to score in the next game, even if it is brushed, it must be brushed to an average of more than 20 points per game.

But the same can't be said in front of the media cameras, he's still just a role player for the Suns now, not Nash, not Stoudemire and Marion.

Therefore, Wang Chao also needs to keep a low profile, once the too arrogant remarks in front of the media are seen by the team's head coach or several core main players, in case the other party is dissatisfied, it is likely to directly lead to the failure of the task of not getting the support of his teammates.

Lewd development, don't wave.

This is a line that Wang Chao is extremely familiar with from 22 years ago.

When will he play like Nash, he will really be qualified to be arrogant in front of the media.

……

The Suns, who won the opening game, returned to Phoenix the next day, Nov. 1, to face fellow Los Angeles team Clippers.

The two teams in Los Angeles are also very similar in strength at the moment, finishing sixth and seventh in the West in the regular season last season.

But it's clear that the Clippers' attention is completely different from that of the Lakers, and the Brand-led team hasn't received any attention.

And in this matchup, the two All-Star power forwards of Stoudemire and Brand can be described as evenly matched.

Brand finished with 28 points, 13 rebounds and two assists on 13-of-22 shooting and 2-of-2 free throws.

Stoudemire finished with 27 points and seven rebounds on 10-of-18 shooting and 7-of-9 from the free-throw line.

But on the Clippers' side, apart from Brand, the rest of his teammates are not so good.

Old cat Catino. Mobley scored 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting, the Clippers' best player outside of Brand.

On the Suns' side, Nash scored 15 points and 11 assists, and Marion also scored 15 points.

As for Wang Chao, it was Sean who faced him in the game. Livingston.

Although he was later crowned as the king of mid-range shooting, Livingston is only a role player who averages 6.3 points per game in his career, and his level is extremely limited, and he will play less than 20 minutes per game as a bench player for the Warriors in the future, and winning three championships with the team is considered the highlight of his career.

That is, Livingston has a height of 2.01 meters and an excellent arm span, but it is still inferior to Wang Chao's static talent, and when facing Wang Chao's off-ball running, Livingston, who is thin and injured, is even more difficult to deal with.

The end result was that Wang Chao got more and better shots in this game than in the first game, shooting 9-of-16 and 4-of-9 three-pointers, scoring 22 points.

The Suns won the opening two straight games 119-104.

And after two consecutive wins, the Suns finally ushered in a real challenge on November 3.

In Game 3 of the regular season, the Suns hosted the Utah Jazz.

The current Jazz team is not considered the top team in the league, and last season ranked ninth in the West and missed the playoffs.

But after last season, the Jazz straightened Boozer and switched Kirilenko to small forward.

When the head coach Jerry. After Scott reinvigorated the pick-and-roll tactics of the Utah twins, and changed the team's tactical core from Kirrylenko to Delon and Boozer, the Jazz team is about to take off.

In Wang Chao's impression, the Jazz team will be able to achieve 51 wins this season, and in the playoffs, they will go all the way to the Western Conference finals, and finally lose to the Spurs.

Of course, this is not the key, the Jazz's new interior and exterior core is still young and not particularly strong, the key is that the Suns themselves have problems in this game.

Stoudemire, who played very well in the first two games, jumped off a cliff in this game, shooting only 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter, and was in no form at all.

As a player who has not been back from injury for a long time, it is normal for Stoudemire to have ups and downs.

But the bad thing about this game is that Wang Chao's performance is also crotch-pulling.

For no other reason, he met a real nemesis in this game.

Kirilenko, who switched to small forward in the new season, became the opponent of Wang Chao throughout the game.

Who is Kirilenko? Russia's most well-known star, a well-known defensive expert, and a blocker.

He has a height of 2.06 meters, an exaggerated arm span of 2.28 meters, and his static talent is even more exaggerated than Wang Chao, and his weight of 102 kilograms also gives him strong mobility.

Although Wang Chao is slightly better than Kirilenko in terms of speed, the opponent can fully interfere in time after Wang Chao catches the ball in the running position.

What is Wang Chao's biggest reliance in the game?

One is a 99 full value three-point shot, and the other is the extra ability that natural skills bring him, but in the final analysis, when his basic ability value is lacking, he can consistently get high scores on the court, and the talent advantage of 2.06 meters tall and 2.18 meters of arm span in the small forward position is a crucial part.

When Wang Chao faced a defensive expert like Kirilenko who was more statically talented than him and experienced, there was really no way, although the three-point ability value of 99 was very strong, but at least he had to have a chance to shoot to play.

Kirilenko, who averaged 3.2 blocks per game last season, didn't give Wang Chao a chance to shoot at all.
