For the first time, Wang Chao showed his offensive ability to host the ball, and Wang Chao scored 9 points in a row with 3 of 3 three-pointers to tell everyone that he can not only run without the ball, but also attack with the ball!

After the timeout, the Wizards' lineup was adjusted, and the backup for small forward Jarvis Brown. Hayes was substituted with the main striker Caron. Butler re-enters the main defense of Wang Chao.

In the few rounds that resumed after the pause, the Suns' offense mainly revolved around Barbossa, and Wang Chao basically had no chance to touch the ball.

It's not that Butler's defense is so strong that Wang Chao doesn't have a chance to connect the ball, but Barbossa doesn't have the idea of passing the ball to Wang Chao at all.

Barbossa was the absolute heart of the pitch during his time off the bench and the ball was always firmly in his hands.

Originally, when Wang Chao was the team's starter, there was no obvious conflict with him, even if the relationship between the two was average because of Jones's fanning of the flames, but it was not to the extent of hostility.

But Wang Chao's three attacks just now made Barbossa immediately feel threatened, and his position as the sixth man on the Suns bench was threatened!

You must know that although he is a substitute player, Barbosa's playing time and shots are not less than those of the starters, and even the average shot per game is only Stoudemire in the team more than him.

He didn't know why Wang Chao was so good and suddenly ran to the bench again, but if Wang Chao kept coming off the bench in the following games, it would undoubtedly affect his statistical performance.

In this way, the two have almost become a direct rivalry on the field.

It sounds like an exaggeration, but as teammates on the same team, is it necessary to fight for the ball and shoot these things?

Of course it is necessary.

All-Star players like Nash, Stoudemire or even Marion, who have already played a high price, hold a big contract of tens of millions, and have attracted attention from the outside world, will of course care more about the team's record and championships and other honors.

But for players at the bottom of the middle and lower levels, such as Wang Chao, Barbossa, Dior, and Jones, the value of performance on the field is even far greater than the team honor.

After all, even if the team wins the championship this season, if you only average a few rebounds per game, you will never get a big contract, and it is more likely that you will be swept away after the season.

On the other hand, if a team can't make it to the playoffs, as long as your own personal data is beautiful enough, there will inevitably be many teams vying to get a big contract.

This season is also Barbossa's contract year, and he is still counting on continuing to maintain the average of 18+4 per game at this stage, and wait until the end of the season to sign a big contract with the Suns.

"Hmph."

Standing at the top arc with the ball, Barbosa glanced at Wang Chao, who was still entangled with Butler on the side, and directly held the ball himself to break through the forced attack frame.

Barbosa's ball-holding breakthrough speed is extremely fast, after all, he is a player with the nickname of Brazilian Lightning, and the Wizards' backup point guard can't keep up with his speed at all, but after Barbossa rushes into the basket, the Wizards' center Brandon. Haywood immediately caught up with Barbosa's layup and picked up the rebound.

"Damn......" Barbosa scolded and immediately returned to defend, while D'Antoni's shouts from the sidelines made his already bad mood worse.

"Leonardo! Give the ball to Wang Chao and let him play! ”

As a well-known head coach, D'Antoni has a bad habit of being the main player, which has been a problem since the Suns, and later did not change much when he moved to the Knicks, Lakers, and Rockets.

As long as a player is useful, unless he feels completely cold or has fitness problems, D'Antoni will keep the opponent on the pitch all the time.

During his time with the Suns, Marion averaged more than 40 minutes per game in three seasons, and the other seasons basically stayed around 38 minutes.

It is said that the Jedi Seven Samurai were miserable during the Cavaliers' 15-year Finals, but in fact, the team coached by D'Antoni has about seven or eight main rotation players in most cases.

The only difference is that the Cavaliers only had seven players available to play at the time, while D'Antoni only had seven players on the court.

This problem is not good at times, and it is easy to overconsume players and lead to injuries, but sometimes it can grasp the life-saving straw at the most critical moment and turn the tables in one fell swoop.

Jeremy Lin during the Knicks period is a prime example.

When Jeremy Lin played a great first time, D'Antoni immediately put him into the starting position and gave him a lot of playing time and possession, which led to a crazy performance that Lin put in to amaze the world.

Wang Chao's performance of 9 points in 2 minutes just now obviously felt very good, but Barbosa's offensive efficiency was not very good with the ball several times.

In this case, of course, D'Antoni will let the team focus on Wang Chao, although even he is the first time to see Wang Chao's attack with the ball, but what does it matter? If you can score a goal, you can score!

Barbosa, who didn't want to pass the ball to Wang Chao, had to hand over the ball to Wang Chao due to the pressure of the head coach.

No matter how reluctant he was, he didn't dare to disobey the manager's instructions.

"Bang ......"

Wang Chao received the pass, felt the passing power that was different from the usual, and couldn't help but glance at Barbossa, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

"It's useless to be unhappy, the substitute time in the future is no longer what you say."

Thinking like this in his heart, Wang Chao's attention returned to the defender in front of him, Caron. Butler.

Caron. Butler, a two-time All-Star in his career, has never been named to the All-Star Team or All-Defensive Team, but he is a strong player on both offensive and defensive ends, at least much better than Hayes, the opponent of the previous Wang Chao.

Butler is 2.01 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.12 meters, obviously Wang Chao has a lot of advantages in this regard, and in terms of speed and agility, Wang Chao is not too inferior to the other party, with a double 80 or more ability value, looking at the forward players, he can definitely rank in the first echelon.

Wang Chao tried to trick Butler's defense center with a tentative step, but the latter was unmoved.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chao raised his hand to signal to block and dismantle the cover.

The relationship between Barbosa and Wang Chao has become acute, but there are other players on the field, even if the relationship with Wang Chao is average, but they also want to win the attention of the manager through their performance on the field.

Power forward Kurt. Thomas took the initiative to run to the outside line to cover for Wang's overblock.

When Thomas separated Butler, Wang Chao immediately took a step back behind Thomas, and then immediately jumped and shot.

Butler was separated by Thomas's block and dismantle, and Jamison, who followed Thomas, thought that Wang Chao was going to break through after blocking and dismantling, and no one had time to step forward to defend Wang Chao, so he could only watch the opponent shoot.

"Brush!" Shoot again!

4 out of 4!

The head coach of the Wizards walked back and forth with his hands on his hips.

"What is this going on?"

The 11-point advantage at the good end made Wang Chao tinker, and now there is only 1 point left.

How can this be fought?

On the other side, D'Antoni looked at it with two eyes, Wang Chao's signature trick in the library to grab three points after blocking and dismantling, in this era it seems that it is naturally quite difficult, using the little gap after the block and dismantling to shoot three points, really not anyone can do it, and although Wang Chao has adjusted the position, but there is still a distance of nearly one meter from the three-point line when shooting, that is to say, at least in this era, the three points after blocking and dismantling are exclusive to Wang Chao's patent, even if Lei Allen reproduces it, it is difficult to ensure a stable hit rate.

In this case, Barbosa mainly attacks and breaks through with the ball, and Wang Chao provides long-range firepower output on the outside...... It really works to let Wang Chao come off the bench to enhance the scoring ability of the substitute lineup! ”

In the next round, Butler took a step past Wang Chao with the ball, rushed to the basket, causing the Suns players to foul defensively and walk to the free throw line.

During the free throw execution, the Wizards head coach couldn't wait and replaced Arenas on the court.

As a result, the Wizards' Big Three, Arenas, Butler, and Jamison, have all appeared.

Seeing this, D'Antoni naturally made adjustments immediately, with Nash and Stoudemire coming on to replace Bale and Cott. Thomas, the lineup on the court has become Nash, Barbosa, Wang Chao, Marion and Stoudemire.

Butler made 2 of 2 free throws to return to 3 points and the game continued.

The appearance of Nash and Stoudemire, which means that Wang Chao has little chance to attack with the ball.

His 80 dribbling ability value can do with the ball, the offensive power of holding the ball is limited, and it is almost the same to bully and bully the opposing substitute player in bench time, and it is better not to be ashamed of a player of Butler's level.

So Wang Chao returned to his old profession on the field - running without the ball.

Caron. Butler was ready to deal with Wang Chao's ball-handling offense again, thinking that if the opponent called for blocking and dismantling again, he would go around the front to chase the defense, and he could let Wang Chao break through, but definitely not give the opponent a chance to shoot.

Then he began to run a marathon with Wang Chao.

Butler: "......"

Wang Chao's style of play is very utilitarian, a typical bully of the soft and afraid of the hard...... No, it's typical to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, because that's how he can maximize his offensive efficiency.

After re-entering the game, Arenas was significantly less offensive than in the first quarter, after all, the first quarter was almost the entire game, and he should have rested off the court at this time under normal circumstances.

Arenas, who has not fully recovered his physical strength, has reduced his ball-handling breakthroughs and focuses on outside shots.

He shot reasonably well, shooting 3-of-5, including a three-pointer, and scored seven points for the remainder of the second quarter.

But seven points clearly didn't help the Wizards maintain their lead.

Wang Chao's performance in the second quarter of the game was too eye-catching.

Aside from the 4 of 4 three-pointers at the beginning of the second quarter, as the main players of the two teams came on the court, Wang Chao, who was back to being a humble little brother, naturally returned to his own positioning, ran for a long time to find opportunities, and then really let him run out of a lot of opportunities.

In the second half of the second quarter, Wang Chao made three more shots outside the three-point line and hit one shot.

And so it goes! He shot 5-of-7 from three-point range in the second quarter and scored 15 points alone! The performance was not inferior to Arenas in the first quarter.

Relying on Wang Chao's 15 points in a single quarter, the Suns scored 36 points in the second quarter, and the Wizards only scored 24 points!

Throughout the second quarter of the game, the cheers of the Suns' home fans barely stopped.

This game really surprised everyone, no one expected that Wang Chao, who returned to the bench, would perform better!

At the end of the half, the score of the two teams was 64:63, and the Suns not only caught up with an 11-point difference, but also led by one point.

Wang Chao, who came off the bench, scored 3 points in the first quarter of the game, 15 points in the second quarter, and 18 points at halftime, which was the highest score on the Suns' side.

Arenas, who was in great form in the first quarter, finished with 25 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 9-of-16 shooting, 5-of-8 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws at halftime.

The game between the Suns and the Wizards actually evolved into a battle between Arenas and Wang Chao, who would have thought?

After halftime, Wang Chao did not appear at the beginning of the third quarter.

Arenas continued to show great touch in the third quarter, scoring frequently on the offensive end, and scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting in the third quarter.

After the third quarter of the game, Arenas's personal score has been 39 points, looking at this, the opponent is rushing for 50 points in this game!

The two teams battled evenly in the third quarter, and at 33:32, the Suns lost a one-point lead at halftime, and the two teams returned to the same running line at 96-96.

With 96 points in the third quarter, this gorgeous offensive battle feasted the eyes of Suns fans.

Originally, as Suns fans, they liked the team's fast-paced run-and-gun tactics and offense, and the offensive battle between the two teams was really exciting.

As for whether the team can win 19 consecutive wins in this game, Suns fans are full of confidence.

Because in the third quarter of the game, Wang Chao only played less than 3 minutes at the end, and he tried to make a shot, but he didn't start to exert his strength!

Wang Chao, who has scored 18 points in the first half, still has the highest score in the Suns so far.

No one will doubt that Wang Chao's performance on the field in the fourth quarter of the game, this guy is really amazing!

……

"Abominable ......"

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, looking at Wang Chao who walked on the court with a calm expression, the head coach of the Wizards was in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Butler, almost subconsciously.

On the Wizards' side, the most suitable player to defend Wang Chao is Butler.

But after three quarters, Butler had played 32 minutes, averaging only about a minute and a half of rest per game.

Arenas, who scored 39 points, was certainly the team's main scoring point, but Butler, who scored 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting in the third quarter, was also an important source of scoring for the team.

The Wizards are not the Suns after all, and the only points in the team that can score consistently are the Big Three of Arenas, Butler, and Jamison, plus a Haywood who is so-so in eating under the basket.

In this game, Jamison's form was not good, because he was biased towards outside shooting, and Nowitzki's style of play was a bit restrained by Marion, shooting less than 40%, so Butler took on more tasks on the offensive end and consumed more physical energy.

If Butler is allowed to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, I am afraid that Butler's physical strength will be completely overdrawn before the fourth quarter is halfway through.

With this in mind, the head coach of the Wizards team, after hesitating for a moment, gritted his teeth and did not let Butler play with Wang Chao.

This is the result that Wang Chao wants.

The opposing player meets Jarvis again. Hayes, whether Wang Chao plays offense with the ball or without the ball, is obviously much more efficient than before.

And unlike in the past, Wang Chao only played a total of about 17 minutes before, including a few minutes of attacking with the ball, so he was full of energy at this time and could squander it to his heart's content.

Wang Chao, who was running all over the court, quickly made achievements on the offensive end, first ran out of the opportunity through the off-ball run, hit a mid-range shot, and then held the ball outside the three-point line and used the block to shoot and then hit a three-pointer to score five points in a row, which made the Wizards head coach's eyelids twitch.

This is also unreasonable.

With the Suns' two bench players, Barbosa averaging 18.6 points per game and Wang Chao averaging 19.2 points per game, can you find a team with two bench players who average more than 18 points per game?

Not to mention the current league, not even in the history of the NBA.

In contrast, the Wizards' best player on the bench this season is Jarvis Hayes, who averages 7.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

I'm annoyed, how can I play this?

In the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Suns completely unilaterally pressed the Wizards, Wang Chao and Barbosa took turns to attack, tearing the Wizards' defense to pieces, even if Arenas came out urgently, it still failed to recover the decline.

When the main players of the two teams came on the court one after another, the Suns, who were originally on the same starting line, had inexplicably established an 8-point lead.

The main players of the two teams came on the court, and the Suns replaced Barbossa, but Wang Chao remained on the court, and the lineup became the starting lineup of the previous Suns, Nash, Bell, Wang Chao, Marion, and Stoudemire.

There is no doubt that this lineup is the strongest offensive combination of the Suns, and it also means that the game is about to enter the final stage.

……

I have to admit that Arenas is really strong.

In the final moments of the fourth quarter, he once again showed super offensive ability, shooting 4 of 9 and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, and the score of the whole game officially reached the 50-point mark.

It's just that he can't stand alone, Butler shot 1 of 5 in the last quarter of the game, and he didn't regain the high efficiency of the first three quarters, and Jamison continued to be suppressed by Marion on 1 of 3 shots, as for the rest of the team...... Don't mention it.

The Wizards scored 30 points in the fourth quarter and scored a game-high 126 points.

The Suns, on the other hand, were even better, scoring 37 points in the final quarter and 133 points in the game, outscoring the Wizards by 7 points and winning 19 in a straight row.

Arenas, who scored 50 points on 19-of-35 shooting, was undoubtedly the most beautiful boy in the game, but his brilliance could not hide Wang Chao, who returned to the bench.

In this game, Wang Fei, who came off the bench, played 28 minutes, shooting 12 of 19 from the field, including 9 of 15 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 35 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, the highest score on the team.

After only 28 minutes of play, he can score 35 points with 19 shots, and in terms of scoring efficiency, Wang Chao is obviously higher than Arenas!
