(It's the New Year soon, and I'm too busy at home today, so I'm sorry for only 1.) ）

It's January, and the Suns' schedule in early January isn't particularly difficult.

The first game of the new year was on the road against the Chicago Bulls.

At this time, the Bulls are in an embarrassing situation without Jordan Pippen and without Rose. Gordon, Ruhr. Under the leadership of Deng and other outstanding players, it is a playoff-level team, but the overall strength is obviously lacking.

At 103:96, the Suns beat the Bulls away, and their opponents in the next few games are the Raptors, Heat, Warriors, and SuperSonics.

In these four games, the Suns have been quite upset, only achieving a 2-2 record, losing to the Raptors and SuperSonics respectively.

The Raptors are just that, they are the third strong team in the East, and the core of the team, Chris. Bosh was in good shape, scoring 26 points and 14 rebounds in the game, suppressing Stoudemire's 15 points and eight rebounds.

The Suns' loss to the SuperSonics is really something that shouldn't be.

So far in the regular season, the SuperSonics have less than 40% of their record in the West, ranking outside the top ten, which is a world of difference from the strength of the Suns, the first in the West.

The reason why this game was an upset loss was because of the superSonics' famous three musketeers.

Known as the all-time best three-point player (currently), Ray Allen shot 12-of-18 from the field and 5-of-11 from three-point range to finish with 32 points and 5 rebounds.

Mr. Billion (not yet) Rassad. Lewis scored 21 points on 9-of-16 shooting, and Luke. Lidno 22 points.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Chao in this game, with Lei. Allen staged a three-point show.

Ray Allen's three-point shot of 5 of 11 was already very accurate, but Wang Chao was clearly superior, shooting 7 of 14 from three-point range.

The two have completely different styles of play and different options for shooting three-point shots, but there is no doubt that if the previous game between Wang Chao and Hamilton represented the pinnacle of the league's no-ball run-and-go offense, then this game is the league's highest-level three-point shootout.

Ray Allen's three-point shot is really strong, after all, even in the future, only Curry can stabilize Ray Allen in the field of three-point shooting, and the others are even Reggie. Miller, also slightly inferior to Ray. Aaron is a chip.

But even so, Ray Allen's three-point shot still did not reach the full value of 99, at least in the most well-known NBA2K game, Ray Allen's three-point shooting ability value should be 98 on average, although infinitely close to 99, but after all, it is still a little bit worse.

Of course, it's not that Ray Allen is 1 point lower than Wang Chao in terms of three-point ability, his three points must not be as accurate as Wang Chao, but Wang Chao has the full value of the ability value at the same time, he also has the shooting rate bonus of the marksman's talent, and his height of 2.06 meters and arm span of 2.18 meters do provide him with a better shooting environment than Ray Allen when shooting on the offensive end.

And in this game, although Ray Allen lost slightly in three-point shooting, he led the team to win the game, and he was the winning side.

……

In these four races, Wang Chao also retested the effect of the upgraded long-distance runner talent.

Of the three running distance phases, the best effect was the addition of 10% reverse running agility in the first phase.

This trick works very well in off-ball runs, often shaking off the ball and shooting at the defender.

On the contrary, the 3% shooting percentage in the second phase is not very obvious, and this is an ability that needs to be gradually manifested in the long-term game, and the effect after activation is not immediate.

As for the negative impact of shooting under 30% fatigue in the third stage, it is currently the most chicken for Wang Chao.

As a player who is ranked four or five outside the Suns, Wang Chao averaged less than 13 shots per game even if he took the initiative to come to the bench, and most of them were concentrated in the first half of the bench time, which could not reflect the power of this effect.

Wang Chao is not discouraged, he can't use it now, it doesn't mean that he won't need it in the future, he will eventually become the team's core scorer in the future, and his shots will naturally rise when the time comes.

……

On January 11, the Suns faced the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

Seeing that the opponent was the Cavaliers, Wang Chao immediately became energetic.

He hasn't forgotten that the moment he crossed over, he was knocked to the ground by a slap from James.

Although the moment he was detained, it was another Wang Chao, but behind him was the current Wang Chao who was ridiculed.

Although he is not a cautious person, he will take revenge.

In that game, he relied on the full three-point suddenly given by the system to help the team defeat the Cavaliers and win the game, but that was obviously not enough.

And if nothing else, this season, the Cavaliers will make it all the way to the Finals in the playoffs.

This is definitely an opportunity!

Wang Chao is full of confidence in the strength of the current Suns, and the only opponent in the West is the Spurs.

As long as the Suns can cross the mountain of the Spurs in the West, it may be him who touches James' head in the finals to comfort the other party "The future is yours"!

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Chao felt a little excited.

……

Well, the above is purely YY.

Even if the Suns really beat the Cavaliers in the finals to win the championship, it is not Wang Chao's turn to say that although he is older than James, James, who joined the league in 03, is the predecessor of the rookie Wang Chao in 04.

But this sentence can give Nash a suggestion, disgusting and disgusting to the other party.

Back to the game.

The Suns play the Cavaliers, and they are no different from adults and children.

The Cavaliers in the 06-07 season are really not strong, and the only one in the team who has a little level is Larry. Hughes and Big Z, just like that, got to the playoffs Larry. Hughes also pulled his hips, and his average points per game and shooting percentage both dropped significantly compared to the regular season.

But just like that, James was still able to single-handedly drag the Cavaliers all the way through the East to reach the Finals, even though the Pistons, the opponent in the Eastern Conference finals, were the core soul of the Pistons at the time. Wallace's unavailability due to injury is the main reason why the Pistons will lose to the Cavaliers, but it must also be admitted that James is indeed strong.

In this game, James also performed very strongly, shooting 15 of 28 in the whole game, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and cutting 37 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, becoming the brightest boy in the game.

However, in addition to James, the Cavaliers only have Drew. Gooden scored in double figures and only scored 11 points, so how could he beat the Suns' multi-point flowering?

Wang Chao had 18 points, Stoudemire had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Marion had 19 points and 11 rebounds.

The most exaggerated was Nash, who only scored 4 points on 2-of-7 shooting in the whole game, but handed out a full 21 assists and only 1 turnover in the game.

At 109:90, the Suns beat the Cavaliers by 19 points.

……

Phoenix, in a certain café.

Wang Chao sat face to face with a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a slight smile on his face.

"Hello for the first time."

"Hello, King."

The man sitting in front of Wang Chao was none other than the league's well-known agent Bill. Duffy.

To be honest, Wang Chao didn't expect that the other party's efficiency would be so high.

Recently, when Wang Chao was chatting with Nash, he "inadvertently" mentioned that he did not have an agent, and at the same time mentioned whether Nash and his fellow countryman Yao were the same agent.

The conversation naturally changed to Nash providing Bill for Wang Chao. Duffy's contact information, and praised Bill. Duffy's expertise.

Wang Chao knows Nash and Bill. Duffy is not only a player-agent relationship, but also a very good friend.

Nash is well aware of Wang Chao's future potential and prospects, and of course wants to introduce this big business to Bill. Duffy.

Wang Chao was naturally happy to accept it, and this was originally his purpose, but under the art of language, it was packaged as a feeling that he gave Nash face and trusted Nash's agent ability. Duffy connected, and at the same time swiped a wave of favorability on Nash's side.

It may seem like a bit too scheming to say this, but that's often the case between people.

Regardless of the process, achieving your goals is a good way.

Bill. Duffy was obviously very interested in Wang Chao, so the two made an appointment to come out and talk together for a free time.

"I have a good relationship with Yao, and I know a lot about Chinese players, so I don't think I need to go into too much detail about this, right?"

Bill. Duffy appears very confident on this point.

Because in the summer of 06, he just assisted Da Yao to complete a contract extension with the Rockets, with a 5-year salary of 75 million US dollars, making Da Yao directly one of the highest-paid players in the league.

"Of course, I know very well." Wang Chao said with a smile.

In fact, it is a certainty that Da Yao will get the top salary, such a player with unlimited potential and is expected to become the most lethal center in the league after O'Neal. Duffy didn't contribute much, but Wang Chao liked the professionalism and character of this agent.

"Mr. Beal, I'd like to ask you a question, if you were my agent, what kind of contract would you be going to ask the team for this summer?"

After thinking about it, Wang Chao asked the other party such a question.

"Maximum salary, of course!" Bill. Duffy said decisively without thinking. "Your value, the Suns management should understand that a 24-year-old player can steadily contribute 20+ points on the court, and the three-point shooting rate can reach an exaggerated level of close to 50%, and your style of play is very suitable for the Suns' run-and-gun tactics, and they must keep you at all costs."

Bill. Duffy's thoughts coincide with Wang Chao.

Wang Chao is very sure that in the future, he will definitely become the strongest player in the league, and he can even not add one, maybe this process will take some time, but it will definitely not be too long.

Combined with his performance this season, there must be a contract extension with a maximum salary, otherwise the stronger he becomes, the more he loses.

Since Bill. Duffy agrees with his value, so there is no need to hesitate and dwell on anything.

Wang Chao looked at Bill. Duffy said: "I don't have any problems, you are my broker, I believe that I can maximize my business value, I believe in you." ”

Bill. Duffy smiled.

"Wang, thank you for the compliment, but before we officially sign the contract, there is one more thing I must confirm with you."

"To tell you the truth, before I came, I asked Da Yao about you in private, and I also have some understanding of your past."

Bill. Duffy's words made Wang Chao's eyebrows rise.

"My past?"

"It's okay not to mention what has passed, but if you don't handle it properly, it won't be good for your future development."

Wang Chao: "......"

Why don't you mention it? You should mention it, I also want to know what happened in the past.

complained like this in his heart, but Wang Chao still pretended to know on the surface.

"What am I going to do about it?"

"I have two options here for you to choose from."

Bill. Duffy held up two fingers.

"First, give up your Chinese nationality and join your Mi nationality, so that you are a Mi country, you can represent Mi in world competitions, and get more local support and commercial endorsements."

"I refuse." Wang Chao didn't want to think about it, so he shook his head directly and refused.

Since the 90s, China has set off a wave of going abroad, but those who have a little capital and conditions allow to go abroad have rushed to foreign countries where even the air is sweeter.

Canada, United Kingdom, Australia......

Among them, the green card of the United States is the most sought after by everyone, after all, it is the strongest and most prosperous country in the world, and the people who can get the green card of the United States at that time are as high as becoming Tianlong people.

But Wang Chao was not interested.

Especially after experiencing the process of becoming prosperous and powerful in China, Wang Chao from 2022 has a strong sense of pride in China.

Wang Chao felt that since God had asked him to even cross over to a Chinese player, it was already destined in the dark, and he didn't want to change all this.

"Really...... It's really the same as what Da Yao said. "Bill. Duffy couldn't help but shake his head, making Wang Chao even more curious about what this guy had talked about with Da Yao.

"Then there is only the second option, take the initiative to compromise and reconcile, ease the relationship with the domestic basketball association, rejoin the national team, and open up the Chinese market." Bill. Duffy said, "This choice is a suggestion given by Da Yao, and he also wants to convey this suggestion to you through me. ”

"As long as you continue to perform well in the league, Da Yao can use this to put pressure on the Basketball Association to let you represent the Chinese men's basketball team in next year's Olympic Games, so as to break the ice and reconcile with domestic relations.

When Wang Chao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

He didn't know what happened to Wang Chao before, but it was definitely not a wise move to flip the table, and it was best to redeem it if it could be reversed.

What age is this, if you really have to encounter unfair things, what is it to resist with your neck?

When he encounters something, he doesn't say anything, and he can only suffer from it.

At the beginning, the media exposed that the Basketball Association wanted to siphon away 50% of Da Yao's income in the NBA, which caused an uproar in China, and finally under the pressure of public opinion, this figure dropped to about 3%-5%.

The question is, how did the media happen to expose this matter? That's a little intriguing.

As Wang Chao, who has crossed over from 2022, he knows better than anyone how much power public opinion is.

If he really suffers unfair treatment in China, there are many ways to solve it, the simplest is to find media exposure and let the public judge right and wrong, instead of refusing to communicate and cut off all his back roads.

Now, the situation has room to ease, and he naturally can't ask for it, especially if he has the opportunity to participate in the 08 Capital Olympics with the national team, this rare opportunity is only once.

The 08 Capital Olympics can be called the strongest lineup in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, Da Yao, the United Arab Emirates, Dazhi three major inside lines, and Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and others on the outside.

With the blessing of home court advantage, the Chinese men's basketball team even defeated the German team led by Nowitzki in the group stage and reached the quarterfinals.

Wang Chao can fully imagine how strong the Chinese men's basketball team will become if he exists.

You must know that it will happen in a year and a half, and within a year and a half, Wang Chao's strength will definitely have a qualitative leap and become stronger.

When the time comes, he and Da Yao will lead the Chinese men's basketball team inside and outside, even if it is impossible to compete for medals!

Wang Chao can't miss such an opportunity no matter what.

So he looked at Bill with almost two eyes shining at this time. Duffy.

"Good! I'll pick the second one! ”

"Good." Bill. When Duffy heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

Personally, he is also more inclined to Wang Chao to choose the second option.

Because even if Wang Chao joins the nationality of the United States, he will not reach the popularity of the local stars of the United States, in the final analysis, he has been engraved with the label of a Chinese player, and it is the best choice to be able to open up the domestic market like Da Yao.

As Da Yao's agent in the United States, how high is the commercial value of the other party in China, Bill. Duffy saw it in his eyes, and he felt that the playing style of an outside player like Wang Chao must have a more fan base than that of an inside player like Da Yao.

"Then, let's officially sign the contract, you can read the contract first."

Bill. As he spoke, Duffy took out two contracts from his briefcase.

……

Houston.

Da Yao, who had just finished training and was changing clothes in the locker room, heard his mobile phone ringing.

"Hey, Bill? How did you talk to Wang Chao? ”

Listen to the phone on the other side of Bill. Duffy's words, Da Yao said: "I know, I will immediately contact the domestic relationship operation, and strive to let Wang Chao return to the national team as soon as possible, you can rest assured, with Wang Chao's recent performance in the league, this matter is no problem, after all, those big men also want the men's basketball team to achieve breakthrough results in the Olympic Games as their actual achievements." ”

Hanging up the phone, Da Yao's face was full of smiles.

Wang Chao really didn't disappoint him!

This incident was actually an accident, and Da Yao didn't expect that Wang Chao would actually find Bill. Duffy as an agent, if not Bill. Duffy called him to inquire about Wang Chao, but he didn't know that the two sides had actually been contacted through Nash's relationship.

Originally, Da Yao had been having a headache about how to tell Wang Chao what he thought, but now it was just a good time to push the boat.

"It seems that after playing excellent results in the league, Wang Chao's personality has also changed, which is a good sign!"

How did Da Yao know that not only did his personality change, but Wang Chao had completely changed his personality.
