Some people have good data, and some people will suffer because of it.

There are three players in the Suns team who are more seriously affected, Nash, Bell, and Dio.

Nash's average in the regular season this season should have been 18.6 points and 11.6 assists, which is quite gorgeous.

But because of Wang Chao's birth, as the top passing master in history, Nash decisively reduced his shots and chose to pass more to assist his teammates, which led to his average of only 10.6 shots per game so far, which is the lowest value since he came to the Suns to become the team's outside core, and his average points per game have also dropped to 14.9 points.

But on the other hand, Nash is also averaging 13.8 assists per game for the first time!

This is quite an exaggerated statistic, and the best point guards in recent years, whether it is Nash or Kidd, have only averaged 11.5 and 10.8 assists per game in their highest seasons, and the last one who can average more than 13 assists per game is John Stockton in his prime.

As one of the league's leading assisters, Stockton topped the league's assists charts and averaged an exaggerated 14.5 assists per game in his career's best season, while also keeping turnovers under 3.5.

This is difficult for Nash, who focuses on run-and-gun tactics in the Suns, to achieve.

But with the advent of Wang Chao, Nash's passing assist efficiency has become significantly higher.

Wang Chao's style characteristics determine that he will receive the ball and shoot it in most cases, as long as the ball is scored, the passer will definitely get an assist.

This also makes Nash very fond of passing the ball to Wang Chao in the arena, who doesn't like their stats to get better?

Therefore, even if the average points per game decline, Nash doesn't care, he is not a player who cares about scoring data, otherwise with his projection ability, it is not impossible to score an average of 25+ points per game on offense.

As for the decline in the statistics of Bale and Dior, it is okay not to mention it, after all, even the team boss Nash doesn't care, as role players of the team, let alone Bale and Dior, who obey the manager's arrangement.

……

If any rookie who is a second-round pick can consistently average 19+ points per game in the second season of his career, I am afraid he will be ecstatic.

After all, Arenas's inspirational stories are only a few, and the vast majority of second-round picks can basically only be used as marginal bench figures of the team, and a game can not be played for a total of a few minutes, and if you are lucky, you can get a few more years of contract extension and make a little money, and if you are unlucky, you can only leave the NBA after the end of your rookie contract, play overseas or become a coach or assistant coach at a certain university.

But Wang Chao is obviously different.

If there is no system task, he is satisfied with his current performance, with an average of 19 points and 3 rebounds per game, which is definitely enough for him to sit firmly in the main position of the team.

But Wang Chao's goal is to average more than 20+ points per game at the end of the regular season, and now his score can only hover around 19 points, as if he is just a breath away, and he has not been able to raise the score in the previous games.

At the current pace, it will be difficult for him to reach an average of 20+ points per game by the end of the season.

At that time, in his opinion, players who have not averaged 25 points per game are not worthy of being called stars at all, and the gold content of scoring kings with an average of 30+ points per game has to be discounted.

Now in this alliance, Wang Chao finally realized how naïve and naïve his ideas were.

This is the same as the thousands of netizens on the Internet, who earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is a difficult life, and the family can't open the pot, and the annual income of one million is just a low-level reason.

In the NBA, he can average 20 points per game, especially in 06, when the offensive rhythm is still slow, and those who can score more than 20+ points per game are all the top players in basketball in the world!

Wang Chao is now open, with a full value of 99 three-point shooting ability plus three shooting talent skills, and the three-point shot can be compared to Curry, it is so difficult to get an average of 20+ points per game.

Of course, Wang Chao's difficulty in scoring is not only because of his own single scoring means, but also because the team's lineup is too good, and the scoring ability in the five positions is also one of the important reasons.

If the head coach is willing to give Wang Chao more balls, it will be easy to increase the average score to more than 20 points per game.

But De Antoni clearly didn't want to change the situation.

The Suns have won 15 consecutive games and are at the top of the list, which shows that the team's current tactics are very reasonable.

Even the master of running and bombing does not want to rely too much on the inconsistent three-point shot to win, and develops comprehensively in many aspects, so that he will not be targeted so easily in the playoffs.

Without support from the head coach and the team, Wang Chao had to figure out his own way.

……

On December 15, the Suns defeated the Warriors 105-101 at home, making it 16 in a row.

On December 16, the Suns defeated the Kings 105-98 away, winning 17 in a row!

On December 19, the Suns defeated the Raptors 115-98 at home, and their 18-game winning streak was achieved!

The whole Phoenix cheered, the 18-game winning streak is a new winning streak in the history of the Suns, even if it is placed in the history of the whole league, it can be ranked, and more importantly, the winning streak has a chance to continue to extend!

And at this time, the whole Suns team is full of momentum and unity, and they want to leave a strong mark on the league's winning streak list.

Wang Chao stood in front of the door of the head coach's office, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Please come in."

Hearing D'Antoni's voice, Wang Chao pushed the door in.

Seeing that it was Wang Chao who entered the house, D'Antoni raised his eyebrows in some surprise.

"Sit down, king, is there anything you have to do?"

Wang Chao sat across from D'Antoni with a calm expression, saying what he had already thought about and had anticipated many times in his mind.

"Coach, I want to talk to you about my position in the team."

Hearing Wang Chao's words, D'Antoni's brows furrowed.

Isn't he still happy with where he is now?

He is the team's second-leading scorer, has his own running tactics, and plays at least 30 minutes per game.

D'Antoni really didn't expect that Wang Chao came to him because of his positioning in the team.

What's wrong? Do you still want to surpass Steve and Amare and become the first core of the Suns?

However, what Wang Chao said next made D'Antoni stunned.

"Coach, I've been thinking about it all the time when the team has been winning, and I think I'm more suitable for the substitute position than the starter, and if I can, I hope to try to get back to the bench in the next games and contribute to the team."
