As soon as Team Rocket changed formation, the situation immediately changed again.

Jordan. Hill is a standard blue-collar center, 2.08 meters tall, weighing 107 kilograms, with a bit of a lack of strength and tonnage, but he is a brutal interior lineman who can run and jump, and his mobility is not inferior to Howard.

When Jordan. Once Hill came on the floor, he had only one job, and that was to keep up with Howardra when he was out to block and cover.

Of course, Hill can't completely limit Howard, but as long as he can cause a little interference to the opponent, it is enough, after all, Howard's threat on the offensive end is very limited, and there is no need to worry too much about it.

And with Da Yao off the court, the ball of the Rockets was completely focused on Wang Chao.

At this time, although he is still playing the position of power forward, he is essentially no different from the point guard, and all the offense on the Rockets' side is basically concentrated on Wang Chao's body, and then others open up space and let Wang Chao hold the ball alone.

The player on the Magic's side who defended Wang Chao had become Worrett who replaced Lewis at this time. Ariza, but even Ariza, who has the strongest outside defense ability on the Magic team, can't stop Wang Chao's offensive at all.

Wang Chao held the ball in the top arc position, his movements were slightly paused, and the next moment he suddenly held the ball to accelerate, and the super explosive power allowed him to pass most of Ariza's body in one step and rush straight into the basket.

Seeing this, Howard immediately stepped forward to make up for the defense, and the head-to-head duel between the former super-magic combination at this time made the Magic home fans couldn't help but hold their breath.

At this time, Wang Chao can choose to pass the ball to Jordan on Howard's side. Hill, the offensive pressure brought by Wang Chao has made Howard completely give up marking Hill, as long as the basketball passes, the latter can jump on the spot and dunk to score.

But Wang Chao didn't choose that way, he wanted to face Howard's defense and give it a try!

Facing Howard, Wang Chao jumped directly without dodging or dodging, Howard jumped closely with Wang Chao, the two bodies collided in the air, and the difference in body shape made Wang Chao's body suddenly lose his balance and raise his hand to the basket, but between the basketball and the basket was Howard's big hand that covered the sky.

The corners of Howard's mouth were slightly hooked, and if Wang Chao forced a shot at this time, he would inevitably be slapped by him with a big hat.

"Good brother, I know your style of play!"

Thinking like this in his heart, Howard found that Wang Chao, whose body had lost its balance due to the collision, did not choose to shoot at the first time, and his own body had begun to fall uncontrollably under the effect of gravity.

"This guy's ability to stay in the air is really strong!"

Even Howard has to admire Wang Chao's ability to stay in the air, and among the players he has seen with his own eyes, I am afraid that only Kobe Bryant at his peak can compete with Wang Chao in this regard.

It's just that no matter how strong the ability to stay in the air is, he still has to listen to Newton, so Wang Chao's body also began to fall, and because of the previous collision, Wang Chao's body has completely lost its balance at this time.

Wang Chao was waiting for this moment.

Gifted Ability, Skywalk: Increases a player's ability to stay in the air and reduces the negative impact of their shots by 50% when they are out of balance!

After avoiding Howard's block, Wang Chao could finally throw the basketball in his hand in the direction of the basket, although his shooting posture was completely deformed at this time, and he stumbled to the ground after the shot, but the basketball fell into the basket after two knocks on the basket.

"Squeak——! The whistle sounded at the same time, Howard fouled the defense, and Wang Chao played 2+1!

Howard, who landed on the ground, looked at Wang Chao speechlessly, he never expected that Wang Chao could actually score the ball like this, just like Kobe.

No, Wang Chao is more terrifying than Kobe Bryant, because he is a Kobe Bryant who almost completely does not hit iron.

——

At the end of the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were a little surprising.

The Rockets led the Magic by six points at 31-25 on the road.

Wang Chao played 12 minutes, shooting 6 of 8 in a single quarter, including 2 of 4 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Da Yao played about 8 minutes, scoring 10 points and 2 rebounds on 5-of-7 shooting.

Wang Chao and Da Yao alone scored 26 points, 1 point more than the Magic team's entire score.

On the Magic's side, Howard scored a team-high 8 points, Nelson scored 4 points, and Kevin Brown. Martin scored 6 points, but only 2 of 7 shots. Frye had a 3-pointer and Lewis didn't score a point.

The scores of the two teams are in stark contrast, which makes Magic fans begin to miss Wang Chao's goodness.

If Wang Chao is still on the Magic team at this time, this year's championship must still be the Magic team!

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

The game entered the second quarter, and Magic head coach Stan Brown. Van Gundy looked at the Rockets' players and frowned.

The Rockets' starters in the second quarter of the game were Isaiah. Thomas, Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons, Wang Chao and Asik.

What is this lineup? With three rookies and a bench bench, does Wang Chao plan to take this lineup to play against the Magic?

Although the Magic team's lineup has also changed some substitutes at this time, the overall lineup is still dominated by the main players, and the lineup of the Rockets is completely worthy on the surface.

However, as the game began, Stan. Van Gundy's mouth began to open wider and wider, dumbfounded.

How can the game still be played like this?

In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter of the game, the Rockets' offense was all carried out by Wang Chao, and those rookie players who Van Gundy didn't look down on at all were standing on the outside and responsible for catching and shooting, and then trying their best to defend on the defensive end.

The Magic team now lacks the core point of the offense with the ball, and when Howard is out of the court, he can't find a player who can stabilize the independent offense, and he is actually in a hurry to defend for a while, and he can't score at all.

On the offensive end, Wang Chao is like a ruthless scoring machine, constantly scoring.

The Rockets played the Magic 12:0 at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, instantly widening the difference to 18 points!

Van Gundy called two timeouts in a row and brought Howard on early, but he still couldn't recover the slump.

The Magic's offensive problems are completely unsolvable, and even Howard is not easy to play against Asik.

Asik, who is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 116 kilograms, will not suffer at all when facing Howard under the basket, and in order to prove his role, Asik is extremely positive and desperate on the court, and he has three fouls on Howard in 2 minutes.

Howard stood at the free throw line 3 times and only hit 2 of 6 free throws, because Asik made a lot of effort every time he fouled, and Howard's arm hurt, and the free throw shooting rate was not high, which was even more unaccurate.

Asik himself is a backup center, so he doesn't have to worry about foul troubles at all, after all, there is Jordan on the bench. Hill and Tabit are two centers, but his current style of play is the reason why the Rockets need him.

When the second quarter of the game was 6 minutes and 34 seconds, Da Yao got up from the bench and returned to the court, and at this time, the difference between the two teams had reached more than 20 points.

Da Yao appeared on the stage, but Wang Chao did not take a break.

He continued to play the remainder of the second quarter, playing the full 24 minutes of the half, while also coming to an exaggerated 37 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

With Wang's super efficient play, the Rockets led the Magic by 21 points at halftime at 66:45.

However, the most desperate thing is that after the halftime break, the players of the two teams reappeared in the third quarter of the game, and Wang Chao actually stood on the court again.

This guy doesn't even plan to rest for a minute!

"Wang Chao is really energetic, he played a full 24 minutes in the first half, and a lot of attacking with the ball, there is no feeling of fatigue at all, and the second half can continue, so is it possible to play the whole game for 48 minutes?"

Director Zhang was amazed.

is used to seeing the game where Da Yao gets tired after not long and can't get off the break, and then Wang Chao really has a sense of security.

Wang Chao can still hold on, but the magic team can't.

Less than halfway through the third quarter of the game, the difference between the two teams was about to go up by 30 points, and the difference in strength was clear at a glance.

It didn't take long for Van Gundy to replace all of his key players, including Howard.

Seeing this, the Rockets replaced all their main forces.

From the second half of the third quarter to the end of the fourth quarter, the main players of both teams sat on the bench and watched a group of bench players play the whole game.

122:98。

This is the final score of both teams.

The Rockets won by 24 points at the Magic's home court!

Although Wang Chao only played the first three quarters of the game, he played 31 minutes, scoring 43 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

Da Yao played 26 minutes and had 16 points and 7 rebounds.

When he sat on the sidelines, Da Yao smiled like a child of one hundred and thirty pounds.

How many years have passed, it is the first time he has played such a rich battle in the Rockets, and the feeling of having a top scorer is really different, even when the peak Maddie joined, Da Yao rarely had such a sense of experience, and he didn't need to contribute at all, Wang Chao always had various ways to help the team score.

On the Magic side, Howard scored a team-high 21 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, but his team-high scoring was already telling.

Newly joined the Magic, Martin and Lewis, who were given high expectations, scored 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting and only 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting.

The combined scores of the two were not as high as Wang Chao's halftime scores, which undoubtedly disappointed Orlando Magic fans once again.

"In the third quarter, he slashed 43+10+8, Wang Chao was amazingly efficient in the face of his old club, and led the team to win a good start."

"The former super magic combination is now competing on the same stage, Wang Chao has the last laugh, it turns out that the duel between the strongest spear and the strongest shield is still stronger than the former, Dwight should think about it, what is his position in the team?"

"The defending champion suffered two consecutive defeats at the beginning of the new season, and without Wang Chao, is the Magic really still a strong team in the league with the strength to compete for the championship?"

——

The Rockets, who beat the Magic in their first game, left for Houston that day and played their second regular-season game two days later, at home to the San Antonio Spurs.

Because Wang Chao cut off halfway and snatched Leonard, the Spurs' lineup was slightly affected.

But Leonard in his rookie season actually had limited combat effectiveness, even when he was with the Spurs, he only averaged 7.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

The Spurs were able to achieve a 50-16 record in the 11-12 season, tied for the first place in the league with the Bulls, thanks to the old and strong GDP combination and the whole team under the leadership of coach Popovich.

And this game between the Rockets and the Spurs can be described as the pinnacle duel between individuals and teams.

The Spurs took the team to the extreme in this game, with all seven players scoring in double figures, and the team's highest score was Tony, who scored 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting. Parker.

Whether it's against Brooks or Thomas Jr., Parker has the advantage.

On the Rockets' side, it is a perfect interpretation of individual ability.

Only two people in the team scored double-doubles, namely Wang Chao and Da Yao.

Da Yao, who was entangled with Duncan on the inside, played 29 minutes in this game, shooting 7-of-12 and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, and had a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Wang Chao played 45 minutes, shooting 15 of 28, including 8 of 14 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, slashing 55 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, especially in the final fourth quarter, scoring 18 points alone, leading the Rockets to win the game 97-93.

In the whole game, the Spurs tried their best to limit Wang Chao's scoring, but with little success.

In the blues. Now that Bowen has retired, the Spurs' most prominent defensive player at forward is dunk king Richard. Jefferson.

At the post-game press conference, in the face of an interview with reporters, Spurs head coach Popovich said bluntly.

"Wang Chao, who joined the Rockets, was completely liberated from his offensive ability, if when he was in the Magic team, Wang Chao could not be maximized in terms of ball distribution, then after arriving at the Rockets, there is no doubt that the ball of the entire team is concentrated on Wang Chao, which makes his scoring ability reach a rather exaggerated level."

Popovich shook his head, "This season, you may see a crazy scoring show performance comparable to Jordan and Kobe, after all, in the Rockets, except for Da Yao, no one else can or is qualified to share the ball with Wang Chao." ”

Popovich's words seem to have been quickly confirmed.

On December 30, the Rockets challenged the Memphis Grizzlies away.

Wang Chao cut a big triple-double of 46 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the Rockets to defeat the Grizzlies and win three consecutive victories at the beginning of the new season!

The Rockets' several opponents at the beginning of the new season did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, the Magic team has won three championships and one runner-up in the past four years, and the Spurs are an old powerhouse that has won 50+ wins in the regular season for many years. Gasol and Zach. Randolph is black and white, and Mike is on the outside. Conley, OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay are just a few.

Before the start of the regular season, many people thought that the Rockets might start the season with a wave of consecutive losses.

Being able to stand out with three consecutive victories has made many people's jaws drop.

Of course, what is even more surprising is Wang Chao's supernatural performance in these three games.

Against the Magic, he scored 43 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in the third quarter, scored 55 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in 45 minutes against the Horse, and scored 46 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists against the Grizzlies.

After three games, Wang Chao can get 48 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists when he plays an average of 42 minutes per game, which is like a hanging!

Wang Chao's efficiency in the course of the game is too exaggerated, especially on the offensive end, there is almost no one to stop, even in the face of a double bag, he can still rely on speed and dribbling skills to highlight the encirclement and score, can anyone in the league stop his attack?
