In the game with the Jazz, Stoudemire scored 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting, Wang Chao scored 9 points on 3-of-8 three-pointers, and the Suns lost to the Jazz 104-108 at home.

Wang Chao deeply appreciated how powerless he was in the face of a talented defensive player like Kirilenko throughout the game.

Whether it is speed, strength, bounce, and physical fitness, all of them are suppressed by the opponent, and the arm span is completely exploded, Wang Chao can occasionally get the opportunity to shoot when his teammates are not covered by the ball or when the team forms a fast attack, and he basically can't do anything under Kirilenko's defense at other times.

Even Kirilenko is so strong, you can imagine how terrifying Leonard's strength on the defensive end is at his peak in the future.

The end of three games, especially the crotch pull in the third game, made Wang Chao's average points per game drop from the previous 20 points to 16.6 points.

Although the regular season has just begun, Wang Chao immediately felt the pressure.

This pressure quickly turned into motivation.

On November 4, the Suns played the Clippers again, and Stoudemire still failed to find his form in this game, and even felt slightly unwell after shooting 0 of 2 in 11 minutes, and went straight to rest early.

As a result, the Suns have returned to the style of play they played without Stoudemire last season.

Wang Chao ran exceptionally aggressively throughout the game, the Clippers did not have excellent small forward players, although Livingston's speed was not bad, but there was no way to compare with Wang Chao in terms of physical fitness, and many times even if he kept up with Wang Chao's pace, his defensive ability was not enough to cause substantial interference to Wang Chao's shooting.

After Stoudemire left the court early, this game completely became Wang Chao's personal show, and he shot 10 of 16 from the field, 6 of 10 from three-point range, and scored a team-high 26 points and 4 rebounds.

In addition, Marion also scored 22 points on 11-of-19 shooting, plus Nash's 15 points and 13 assists, the Suns managed to beat the Clippers again on the road, bringing their record to 3-1.

In the regular season, Wang Chao averaged 19 points per game, and became the team's scoring champion again when Stoudemire played abnormally in two consecutive games.

"In the new season, Wang Chao's three-point shooting is as stable as ever, and he has also developed a mid-range shot, and he has also improved a lot in terms of fitness and speed compared to last season, and he is really getting better step by step, and gradually becoming an indispensable and important scoring point in the Suns."

"I can't wait until Amare is fully recovered, at the peak of his game, and when he successfully runs into the current Suns team, how strong will they be?"

On November 8, in Game 5 of the Suns' regular season, the team once again encountered a strong opponent and challenged the San Antonio Spurs away.

Wang Chao faced a serious challenge again in this game, because the defensive player he had to face was a well-known defensive player for the Spurs, Bruce Brown. Bowen.

As a well-known defensive player in the league, Bowen's defensive ability is also very well-known, and of course, he is more well-known to Chinese fans for his dirty defensive style and footsteps.

There are many league stars who have been ruined at his feet, and the most classic is Vince. The famous scene of Carter being chased by the other party and running all over the field.

Aside from the stepping stones, Bowen has been selected as the league's best defensive player eight times, which is enough to prove his strong defensive ability, which is definitely a big challenge for Wang Chao.

Of course, if you want Wang Chao to choose, Bowen and Kirilenko, he is obviously more afraid of Kirilenko, facing that monster whose static talent and dynamic talent are better than his own, with the current strength of Wang Chao, there is really no way.

But Bowen is different, although his defensive ability is very good, but Bowen is only 2.01 meters tall and 2.10 meters of arm span after all, and he is slightly inferior to Wang Chao in terms of speed.

Bowen's defense is mainly strong in one-on-one single defense, and the off-ball running in the face of Wang Chao's battlefield actually can't play too well.

Suns head coach D'Antoni was clearly aware of this and began to plan ahead of the game.

"In the game against the Spurs, we have to focus on Wang Chao."

D'Antoni told the team: "His technical characteristics will have a lot of opportunities to play against the Spurs' defensive system, Thiem's defense can't cover the perimeter, and Bowen's defense alone won't have much impact on Wang's shooting." ”

"In this game, as long as Wang Chao can play the performance in the past games and training, we can win the game!"

……

Wang Chao, who appeared on the field, recalled D'Antoni's tactical arrangements before the game in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but start to get excited.

Here's your chance!

This is the first time that a manager has used him as the heart of the team's attack to arrange the team's tactics.

From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with D'Antoni's tactical arrangement.

The Spurs are definitely one of the strongest defensive teams in the league, and although Duncan, the core player of the team, has never won the honor of the best defensive player in his career, his defensive ability can definitely be among the best in league history, and he is not at all inferior to the four-time best defensive player of the Pistons next door. Wallace.

Therefore, against the Spurs, especially when Stoudemire has not fully recovered his peak form, it is reasonable to avoid attacking the basket and making direct contact with Duncan as much as possible.

Wang Chao, an extremely stable shooter outside the three-point line, naturally became the biggest reliance on the Suns to win.

"This game...... Beat Bowen! Cut down the high score! ”

Wang Chao said to himself in his heart.

This is not only a game of victory or defeat, but also a test for the head coach to him, if Wang Chao can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's attack, then obviously there will be more similar opportunities in the future.

But if he can't afford this responsibility and scores in this game, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get this kind of opportunity in the future.

So no matter what, he's going to have to take his chances in this game!

The two sides scramble for the ball.

Stoudemire jumped the ball past the Spurs' Duncan and successfully dialed the basketball to the Suns' side, and Nash dribbled quickly into the halfcourt to organize the offense.

Wang Chao, who was standing outside the three-point line in the bottom corner of the left corner, saw the opportunity and immediately slipped to the bottom line and ran to the other side.

It was indeed Bowen who was responsible for keeping an eye on Wang Chao, and when he saw Wang Chao's action, he immediately chased after him.

But when the two passed under the basket, Wang Chao went first, and when Bowen was about to pass, he was stopped by Stoudemire, who suddenly crossed out and blocked in front of him.

No ball screen!

Bowen: "??? ”

As soon as this game started, why did Stoudemire still assist Wang Chao?
