Chapter Ninety-One: Buckley Fulfills His Promise and Wang Chao Becomes Stronger

Wang Chao is 2.06 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.18 meters, and his excellent static talent allows him to do more with half the effort when shooting from the outside, which is far easier and more convenient than Curry's future shooting outside the three-point line.

I have to admit that static talent can really determine a player's ceiling.

Assuming Durant doesn't have that monster height and reach, his scoring ability will still be strong, but it will definitely not reach the exaggeration that he was considered completely undefensible at his peak.

Wang Chao's static talent is still a little behind Durant, but it is completely enough in today's league, especially at this time he is not a top superstar, although because the three-point shot is often taken care of by the opponent, but in the game against the Suns, Nash and Stoudemire are the most difficult opponents to deal with by default.

……

In the final 10 games of April, the Suns' record began to improve from last month, with an 8-2 record in 10 games, and the regular season record was fixed at 68-14.

The 68 wins in the regular season is the best record in the Suns' history, and it can also rank fifth in the league all-time, tied with the Celtics in the 72-73 season.

The record is still above this, only 72 wins over the Bulls, 69 wins over the Lakers, 69 wins over the Bulls, and the 76ers who have 68 wins and only 13 losses because of the era and the competition system!

No one expected that the Suns would achieve such a record this season after Stoudemire's return, breaking the team's all-time regular season winning record and winning streak in a row, which is simply terrifying.

Wang Chao was actually a little surprised.

He knows the general situation of 06-07.

This season, the Mavericks should be at the top of the league at 67-15, followed by the Suns at 61-21.

It is because the Mavericks have a record of 67 wins that the first round of the playoffs was beaten by the Warriors.

After all, the teams in the league that have a record of more than 67 wins since the Mavericks have all successfully won the final championship except for the Celtics in the 72-73 season, and even the Celtics fell in the second round, and they were only ranked eighth in the West in the first round, which is indeed too embarrassing.

The arrival of Wang Chao obviously has a great bonus to this Suns team, the original 61 wins have become 68 wins, and two more wins in the Western matchup with the Mavericks, resulting in the Mavericks' regular season record from the original 67 wins to 65 wins.

However, the Mavericks may also be a blessing in disguise, they are no better than the first place in the West, meet the eighth-ranked Warriors, the opponent will become the seventh in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers, do not have to be saddled by the black eight in this time and space, until the future Nowitzki led the team to defeat the Heat to win the championship.

After the final fierce competition in April, all 16 teams from the East and West to participate in the playoffs have appeared.

In the West, the Phoenix Suns have a 68-14 record and lead by far ahead, followed by the Dallas Mavericks with 65-17, followed by third to eighth, followed by 57 wins over San Antonio Spurs, 50 wins over Utah Jazz, 52 wins over Houston Rockets, 45 wins over Denver Nuggets, 42 wins over Los Angeles Lakers and 42 wins over Golden State Warriors.

Compared with the West, the record of the East is obviously much inferior, the Detroit Pistons in first place in the East have a record of only 53 wins and 29 losses, and can only rank fourth in the West, the Cleveland Cavaliers are 50-32 in the second place in the East, followed by the Toronto Raptors 47, the Miami Heat 44, the Chicago Bulls 49, the Washington Wizards 41 and the Orlando Magic 40.

It is worth mentioning that under the rules of the division rankings, the Bulls, who have 49 wins, can only be ranked fifth because they are in the same division as the Pistons, although they can rank third in the East.

The same applies to the West, where the Rockets have a better record than the Jazz, but they can only settle for fifth place behind the Jazz.

For these teams, they obviously have a better record, but they lose their home advantage because of the division, which is really a bit resentful.

But for the Suns, who are 68 wins, there is no need to think about this at all.

No matter which team they play this season, they have an absolute home advantage.

……

The end of the regular season also means that the statistics of the regular season of the league's players are completely frozen.

Bryant averaged 31.6 points per game, making him the scoring champion for the second time.

Garnett, who averaged 12.8 rebounds per game, was also crowned the rebounding champion.

As for the league's assist king, of course, it is Nash of the Suns.

This season, Nash averaged a career-high 13.6 assists per game, the league's highest assists per game since Stockton's 13.7 assists per game in the 91-92 season.

Except for Nash, no one on the assist list has an assist double-double, and the second-ranked Delon. Williams is averaging 9.3 assists per game, Kidd is averaging 9.2 per game, and other players, including Chris Paul, are averaging less than nine.

In contrast, Nash's average of 13.6 assists per game is unique, which makes his average points per game this season drop from 18.8 points last season to 15.6 points, but he still ranks in the top three in the regular season MVP power list, and is very likely to win the regular season MVP for the third consecutive year.

Nash's decline in points per game has been said before, not because of his scoring ability or scoring efficiency, but because there are too many players on the team who need to shoot, so that Nash takes the initiative to reduce his shots and give more offensive opportunities to his teammates.

Wang Chao is the biggest beneficiary of this.

His average points per game was finally fixed at 20.9 points, a little bit less than 21 points.

As a player who has played more than 50 games off the bench in the regular season and averaged more than 30 minutes per game, it is no easy feat to average 20.9 points per game.

This season, Wang Chao made a total of 362 three-pointers, shooting 48.8% from the field.

The total number of three-point shots is the highest in the league, and it is more exaggerated than Nash's monopoly on the assist list, because Arenas, who ranks second on the list of total three-point shots, has only 205 goals, which is nearly a number behind Wang Chao (Ray Allen has made 165 three-point attempts this season).

The whole league knows that Wang Chao wants to shoot three points, and they will strictly guard Wang Chao, but they just can't limit Wang Chao from shooting three points.

As for the 48.8% three-point shooting percentage, which is not the first on the three-point shooting percentage list, the Heat's forward Jason Brown. Capono has a higher three-point shooting rate than Wang Chao, as high as 51.4%, but the problem is that this guy only shoots 3.1 three-pointers per game, and Wang Chao has to shoot more than 12 times per game, which is not comparable at all.

This season, Wang Chao is definitely the undisputed three-point king, the kind that is unique in history.

Two days after the end of the regular season, Barkley made good on his promise to drink a glass of filtered water soaked in donkey feces in front of the entire audience in front of the television set.

This method may be a little tricky, after all, after the most rigorous scientific purification and filtration, even sewage and even urine can be converted into a drinkable water source, not to mention the water that has only been slightly soaked in donkey dung and then filtered and purified by layers, and there is no difference between drinking and ordinary pure water.

But having said that, any normal person will have a big psychological obstacle when they learn that the glass of water in front of them has actually been soaked in feces, even if they know that it is even cleaner than mineral water after filtration and purification.

TNT can't really let Barkley eat, that's too heavy, and it's a big NBA celebrity, even if it makes money, it can't be so shabby.

Such a result can be accepted by the audience who have been looking forward to it for half a year.

As for Wang Chao, he doesn't care whether Barkley eats or not, and the reason why he tries to score as hard as possible throughout the regular season is for only one purpose, that is, to complete the system task.

Sitting in front of the TV, he watched Barkley drink the glass of water in front of him with a bitter face, and then talked about his feelings.

"Oh my God, I don't think their filtration and purification steps are complete! There was a smell of donkey dung in the water. ”

Wang Chao couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, the sound of the system's prompt sounded in his ears.

"Ding-Player Wang Chao has completed the task, and the average score goal of 20+ points per game in the regular season has been achieved, and the task rewards will be distributed now."

Wang Chao closed his eyes and entered the consciousness space, and then saw that the points displayed above the vending machine not far away were rising loudly.

There are two rewards for completing this long-term mission, the first is 500 points, which is equivalent to 50 regular season wins, which is definitely not less.

As for the second reward......

Wang Chao's gaze looked at the talent tree on the other side.

At this moment, another branch from the talent tree slowly spread out.

This is the second reward, the random Talent Skill Reward!

After the four talents of Marksman, Fast Gunner, Sniper and Long-distance Runner, Wang Chao is about to usher in the fifth talent skill!

After a while, the branches were fully grown, and Wang Chao also saw what the system's random talent skills were.

"Fake pitcher?"

The moment he saw the name of the talent, Wang Chao was obviously stunned.

"What's that? Captain Jia? ”

To be reasonable, this name is not very good, Wang Chao's current positioning is a pitcher, why has this become a fake pitcher?

However, as he began to look at the detailed details of his talent skills, it dawned on him.

"I see!"

"Fake pitcher: Make the player's fake throw more realistic, and increase the fluency of subsequent actions after performing the fake throw by 30%."

To put it simply, this talent skill is similar to a sniper, and it is a talent that directly improves the ability to shoot, and the direction involved is the fake shooting action.

There are many players in the league who will raise their hands and feign shots to deceive the center of gravity of defenders when they are in a triple threat position, especially those who have strong shooting ability, and this trick will be more effective.

Wang Chao is obviously among them.

His deterrent power from outside the three-point line makes it possible for players to pounce on him as soon as he raises his hand to make a shooting motion from outside the three-point line.

With the talent of fake pitchers, Wang Chao will be more realistic when he fakes his pitches, but the most important thing about this talent is to improve the 30% smoothness of the connection after the fake pitching action.

The so-called fluency should be more appropriate to describe in terms of its practical proficiency.

To give a classic example, they are also big dream steps, Olajuwon uses it naturally, shaking the opponent to find North, but Howard uses it like a zombie jump, stiff and deceptive, and the opponent is not fooled at all.

For the same action, the lethality of the two is very different.

Regardless of the experience and practice time of the two insiders, the biggest difference between the two sides is fluency.

The fake pitcher Tianqi gives Wang Chao 30% fluency to connect with other actions after making fake throws, so that Wang Chao can derive a variety of offensive skills, such as breaking through with the ball after fake throwing, stepping back after fake throwing, and jumping shot after fake throwing...... All in all, this is a talent that can directly enhance Wang Chao's scoring ability, and the effort of this season is definitely not a loss!

……

After successfully receiving the system task reward, Wang Chao did not rush out of the consciousness space, but came to the technical panel again and carefully checked his current state.

Wang Chao, 24 years old, is 2.06 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.18 meters, and weighs 98 kilograms.

Overall Rating of Ability Value: 69.

Offensive rating is 71, defensive overall rating is 55, mental rating is 58, and physical rating is 75.

At the beginning of January, his overall rating was still 67, and at that time he had just improved his dribbling ability to 80 and had some offensive ability with the ball.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to mid-April, and in the past three months, Wang Chao has been training without stopping, and with the silent support of a large number of training potions, his training volume has been far ahead of the team.

The practice is effective, 3 and a half months of hard training, so that his ability has been further improved, the overall evaluation has come to 69, and he is about to break through the 70 mark.

Don't underestimate these 2 points, Wang Chao has not engaged in special training similar to dribbling ability in the past three months, and the main training scope is focused on the ability he is already good at, such as the ability to shoot more than 80 in three items, further strengthen the ability to dribble, receive the ball, and physical training.

Wang Chao has a high base value for these abilities, and it is much more difficult to train than those abilities with low values.

In three and a half months, Wang Chao increased his interference mid-range from 86 to 88, his mid-range shot after dribbling from 83 to 86, his dribbling ability from 80 to 84, and his receiving ability from 76 to 82.

Other physical abilities such as speed, agility, physical strength, and strength have also increased slightly.

This is also because Wang Chao doesn't pay attention to the overall evaluation of ability value.

That thing is really not very useful, even in order to improve the overall evaluation, some skills that he usually does not use, such as dunks, hooks under the basket, offensive rebounds, defensive awareness, steals and blocks, etc., will not be much improved for his real strength, because these things are rarely used by the current Wang Chao.

Of course, it may not be necessary in the future, if Wang Chao wants to develop as an all-round warrior like James in the future, these must be gradually trained, but at present, he is still a little better at specializing in one subject.

……

After Barkley fulfilled his promise, two more days passed, and the time came on April 22.

The NBA playoffs are on schedule.

As the Suns with the first record in the West, they will face the challenge of the Golden State Warriors, who are eighth in the West, at home.

"The Warriors, like us, are an offense-oriented team, and once their offense is smooth, they are even more explosive in scoring than we are!"

Before the game, in the dressing room, D'Antoni was still doing pre-game mobilization. "But we don't need to be afraid of them because we are the team with the best record in the league, and the opponent can only challenge us from the position of challenger, play every round of attack, do our job on the court, let us win this game and attack for the championship!" Come on!!! ”

D'Antoni is not wrong when he says that the Warriors are indeed the second only team in the Suns in terms of offensive ability, and although they barely made the playoffs in eighth place with a record of only 42 wins in the regular season, the Warriors averaged second points per game in the league in the regular season, second only to the Suns.

The reason why the Suns are the first in the league and the Warriors can only be ranked eighth in the West is because the Warriors have a very high scoring ability and a strong ability to drop points.

He is one of the few teams to make the playoffs and does not average as many points per game as the teams conceded per game.

On the other hand, on the Suns' side, although it is known as a run-and-bomb team and a team with average defensive ability recognized by the league, the Suns have conceded an average of only 106 points per game when they score 114 points per game, and the goal difference is as high as 8 points!

Just compare a little to find out.

The Spurs are the league's most defensive team, conceding 90.1 points per game this season, but he is averaging only 98.5 points per game and a net difference of just 8.4.

As for the Mavericks, who have the second-best record in the league, they are averaging 100 points per game, conceding 92.8 points and winning 7.2.

So it's clear that the Suns aren't a run-and-gun team that doesn't defend, at least not this season.

Raja. Bale, Marion, and Stoudemire are all players with good defensive ability, and they can also help their teammates with outstanding one-on-one defense ability.

Even Wang Chao, who is not very strong in defense, because of his outstanding height, arm span and good mobility, his defensive ability on the outside is not particularly bad, at least he can maintain the average level of the league.

It's just that the Warriors are a little different from other teams, at least in Wang Chao's opinion, this is after all, the Warriors who should have won 67 over the Mavericks in this round of the series, and their combat effectiveness should be quite strong.

Even if the Suns have a restrained effect on the Warriors in terms of style, they must not be underestimated.

Wang Chao still came off the bench in this game, in fact, after completing the system task, there is no need for Wang Chao to continue to grab the right to brush up data with Barbossa on the bench.

But when he was on the bench, the Suns were significantly stronger.

After the task is completed, Wang Chao immediately has a new goal, that is, to play better in the playoffs, and it is best to help the team win the championship.

If the goal can be achieved, on the one hand, it can make his value rise, and getting the top salary will become a matter of course.

On the other hand, the system has high rewards in the playoffs, and rewards will be awarded according to the overall performance of the players after the whole season, and the points earned for winning during the playoffs will be doubled, and the more you win, the more you earn.

With so many benefits, Wang Chao can of course continue to "wrong" himself and continue to serve as the team's substitute for the time being.

But next season, he certainly won't be on the bench.

How can there be a reason for a star player to play off the bench in the league?

Don't take Ginobili as an example, there are several Ginobili in the history of the league, and Ginobili has not played a starter, he only averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game when he started.

It's not that Ginobili isn't great, but he is a very good player, but there are always people who think that Ginobili is a bit too much if he doesn't sacrifice his stats for the Spurs, playing like Kobe Bryant and averaging 30+ points per game.

If he really has that kind of scoring explosiveness, is Popovich stupid? With such an offensive core, if you have to let him play as a substitute, let Ginobili and Duncan form the OK combination of the Spurs, wouldn't it be able to win more championships?

Wang Chao doesn't want to be Ginobili, and he doesn't want to be like Ginobili, who has the ability to get the top salary but has never taken a top salary in his career, and this season is just a special case.

If someone from the team tells him next season that you should continue to play as a substitute for the sake of the team's victory, Wang Chao will definitely give him a roll of his eyes and a sentence. "Your brain Vatra?"

……

At the beginning of the game, as soon as the Suns came up, they immediately took the initiative to Stoudemire.

The Warriors' lineup is more deformed than the Suns.

The Suns already did not have a traditional center, with 2.08-meter-tall Starmeyer as the center and 2.01-meter-high Marion as the power forward.

Switched to the Warriors' side, it became even more intensified, and the starting center was 2.06 meters Al. Harrington, the power forward is 2.03m Stephen. Jackson.

Stoudemire has an absolute advantage on the inside, constantly attacking the Warriors' interior.

Harrington is not a strong insider, he is 2.06 meters tall and weighs only 104 kilograms, which is only a little heavier than Wang, and his confrontation ability is not good at all, how can he withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of Stoudemire.

The reason why the Warriors put Harrington as the starting center is to speed up the team.

The Warriors' current starting lineup is point guard Byron. Davis, shooting guard Monta. Ellis, small forward Jason. Richardson, power forward Stephen. Jackson, center Al. Harrington.

It is said that the future Warriors' death five lineup is unique in the league, but in fact, this team had a prototype of the death five as early as 07, but Davis and Ellis's backcourt combination offensive ability is far less than that of the Splash Brothers, and Harrington does not have the ability of the Green Association to protect the frame, so this set of death five lineup is a failure, except for the completion of the Black Eight Miracle in the 06-07 season, there is no achievement on the field.

Wang Chao still underestimated the Suns' restraint attribute against the Warriors.

Within minutes of the game, the Suns completely took the initiative on the court.

In terms of offensive ability, the Suns are stronger than the Warriors, even if Wang Chao and Barbossa are off the court at this time, relying on the starting combination of Nash, Bell, Dio, Marion and Stoudemire, the Suns can still suppress the Warriors offensively.

You're fast, I'm faster than you're fast, and at the same time, the Suns have Stoudemire to support the interior offense, which the Warriors don't have at all.

Wang Chao came on the court about 8 minutes into the first quarter of the game, and it was Dio who replaced him.

But at this time, the score gap on the court was about to be widened to more than 10 points.

The Warriors, on their side, are entirely relying on the bearded Byron. Davis's individual ability is barely scoring.

This is also due to the fact that the Suns' guards are "unguarded", otherwise the Warriors will fall behind even more at this time.

Wang Chao's appearance can be regarded as a slam blow to the Warriors.

Originally, they were full of holes on the defensive end, and this team almost didn't know what defense was, and the appearance of Wang Chao, the Suns' second scorer, immediately accelerated their defeat.

In the remaining four minutes of the first quarter, Wang Chao hit three of five shots from beyond the three-point line and scored nine points.

9 points in a single quarter is neither high nor low, but this is indeed Wang Chao's score in only 4 minutes, plus Stoudemire's 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting and 2-of-2 free throws in the first quarter.

The Suns scored 37 points in the first quarter.

On the other hand, the Warriors, which are also a team with a very fast offensive pace, only scored 24 points in the first quarter, a full 13 points behind.

The game entered the second quarter, and the situation did not improve in the slightest, but intensified, because in the bench link at the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Chao and Barbosa worked together to play a wave of 12:2 attack again, and the Warriors head coach Nelson Sr. even called two timeouts but failed to save the decline, and the difference in points was more than 20 points before the end of the half.

At this time, the game has actually lost its suspense.

In the third quarter of the game, Davis, who was unwilling to fail, led the starting team to tenaciously play a wave of 8:0 scores, recovering the difference a little, but the Warriors didn't have time to be happy, the Suns immediately returned to color, Wang Chao hit two three-pointers on the outside, and the score difference was widened to more than 20 points again in the blink of an eye, which also made the Warriors completely lose hope of reversing the tables.

In the final fourth quarter of the game, the two sides played tepidly through the game, and the score was fixed at 121:105.

The Suns got off to a good start to the playoffs, beating the Warriors by 16 points at home.

Wang Chao is undoubtedly the brightest boy in this game.

Against a Warriors team that is extremely poor defensively, the outside shooter has quite a lot of leeway.

Wang Chao shot 9-of-16 from the field, 7-of-12 from three-point range, and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 28 points and 3 rebounds.

Stoudemire finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds on 8-of-18 shooting and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line.

This game can be described as easy and freehand for the Suns, without any difficulty, especially Wang Chao, who hardly encountered any intense defense on the outside.

With the Suns winning a good start, Wang Chao was also slightly relieved.

It seems that the effect of attribute restraint is indeed very obvious, and it is completely impossible for the Warriors to want to be like the Black Eight Mavericks.

Although the first round has only just been played, the Suns are basically stable.

And so it is.

On April 25, the second game of the series, still on the home court of the Suns, the Suns still did not give the Warriors a chance in this game, and defeated the opponent neatly 112-99, and the total score came to 2-0.

After losing two games in a row, the Warriors are still a little unwilling, hoping to get one back with home-court advantage when they return home.

But in Game 3 of the series on April 27, the Warriors lost again.

109:91。

In each of the three games, the Warriors scored fewer points than the other game, and this one was just over 90 points, which is not at all like the crazy run-and-gun team on the offensive end.

But that's just the way it is.

With a total score of 3:0, the Suns, who already had match points in hand, did not give the Warriors any chance, defeating the Warriors 114-107 in the fourth game of the series on April 29, and swept the Warriors with a total score of 4-0 to advance to the second round.

The Warriors were swept 4-0, which was not a surprise, and even many basketball commentators have already given a 4-0 score prediction.

The Suns and Warriors are not opponents at the same level, one is the strongest team in the league with 68 wins in the regular season, and the other is the Warriors who barely got 42 wins and barely entered the playoffs.

In fact, even if history hasn't changed, when the Warriors faced the Mavericks, who should have won 67 games, many people thought that the Mavericks would sweep the Warriors in four games.

Who would have thought that this warrior team, which doesn't seem to be strong in combat, would actually beat the master to death with a random punch, and the calf was eliminated in a chaotic battle of 4:2?

The Warriors' Black Eight Miracle failed to be replicated, and the players on the team undoubtedly lost a lot of capital to boast about in the future.

But on the Suns' side, Wang Chao has gained a lot.

In these four games, Wang Chao is the absolute protagonist, although he came off the bench, but due to the poor defensive ability of the Warriors, his chances to shoot are very good, so that in 4 games, Wang Chao can average 26 points per game, the highest in the team.

Even Stoudemire averaged only 22 points and 12 rebounds per game in this series.

Wang Chao's outbreak in the first round of the playoffs surprised many people, who originally thought that Wang Chao's scoring method, which relied heavily on three-point shooting, would greatly reduce the efficiency of the playoffs when the defensive intensity surged.

However, some discerning people pointed out that even in the playoffs, the Warriors' defensive ability has not improved much compared to the regular season, and the league-wide average of 106.9 points per game during the regular season is surprising.

But Wang Chao played well in the first round of the playoffs, and he may not be able to do well in the second round.

The Suns, who easily swept the Warriors 4-0, entered the second round early and awaited their opponents in the next round, and their opponents will be decided in the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets, who are fourth and fifth in the West.

The strength of these two teams is extremely close, and they have just finished the battle of the kings, and the Rockets are even better in the battle of the G5 Tianwang Mountain, relying on Maddy's 26 points and 16 assists and Da Yao's 21 points and 15 rebounds, winning the battle of the Tianwang Mountain with great difficulty, and taking the lead in the match point 3:2.

At this time, many people are more optimistic about the Rockets winning in the end, if that is the case, Wang Chao and Da Yao will play the Huaguo derby in the division semifinals, which will be a very interesting battle to watch.

However, Wang Chao knew very well that it was Jazz who won in the end.

I believe that many old Rockets fans will not forget the fear of being dominated by the Jazz in those two years.

No matter how good the Yao Mai team performed, they couldn't cross the mountain of the Jazz, and the first round of the two consecutive seasons of 06-07 and 07-08 fell in front of the Jazz, and the two years of the peak of Da Yao's career were wasted here.

According to the original history, the Jazz team after losing Tianwang Mountain defeated the Rockets in the subsequent sixth battle of life and death, and then advanced in the tie-break battle, and finally reversed the game 4:3 and defeated the Rockets.

Wang Chao doesn't know if the butterfly wing effect of his arrival will affect the game trend of other teams, but if he thinks personally, he definitely hopes that the Rockets can advance.

Not only because he is a fan of Da Yao, but also because the Rockets are obviously better to deal with than the Jazz, especially for Wang Chao, who is unwilling to face the Jazz's defensive guard Kirilenko on the front line.

Although the peak of his career was relatively short, Kirilenko's static talent was more exaggerated than Wang Chao's, and his physical fitness before he did not decline due to injury was also extremely perverted.

Of course, Wang Chao will not be completely suppressed and unable to lift his head in the face of Kirilenko now, but before the second stage of the long-distance runner talent is activated, he will still be affected a lot in the face of Kirilenko, and this impact will also cause his personal data to decline.

For Wang Chao, he wants to win the game and play beautiful personal data so that he can ask the team for the top salary, so if he can, he will play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and play the best statistical performance on the field is his tendency.

It's a pity that Wang Chao's wish was still disappointed.

G6, the Jazz team did win the game tenaciously, even if the Rockets' Maddy and Da Yao scored 26 and 25 points respectively, they failed to lead the team to win.

In the most critical tie-break, Maddie Dayao broke out again, scoring 29 points at the same time.

Wang Chao can see that in this game, the whistle is obviously biased towards the Rockets, the Rockets and Jazz made 33 and 24 free throws respectively, and Da Yao alone made 13 free throws.

Obviously, the league would also like to see two Chinese players meet in the playoffs for a derby, perhaps with Stern's indication that the whistle is biased in favor of the Rockets.

But even so, the Rockets still failed to win this game, no way, who made them too unhappy?

Da Yao and Maddie both scored 29 points, but the others couldn't count on it at all, and only Sean was the only one who could count on it. Battier scored 16 points on 4-of-7 shooting, Alston had 11 points, and no one else scored in double figures.

The Jazz also defeated the Rockets 103-99 to advance to the second round.

The second round of the showdown between the east and the west has also been released.

West, Phoenix Suns vs. Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs vs. Dallas Mavericks.

East, Detroit Pistons vs. Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New Jersey Nets.
