Chapter 84: 3 of 3! The shot is powerful after dribbling!

Wang Chao took the initiative to ask to play as a substitute?

To be honest, D'Antoni never expected that Wang Chao came to him specifically to talk about this matter.

In his opinion, the Suns are constantly breaking the team's winning streak, the team's atmosphere is excellent, there is no problem with tactical style, and there is no reason or need to adjust the current starting lineup.

D'Antoni didn't understand why Wang Chao proposed to play as a substitute.

He played very well in the starting position, and his performance even exceeded D'Antoni's expectations. To be honest, Wang Chao made an indelible contribution to the Suns' success in this exciting winning streak!

"Ahem... Wang, why do you want to return to the bench?"

After a while, D'Antoni came to his senses and looked at Wang Chao and asked.

"Because I have been thinking about the team's tactical style during this period. Although the team has been winning all the time, I think the team can get better!" Wang Chao said seriously.

"The team's offensive firepower is already very strong in the starting position. Even if I replace me with Dior or other players, the offensive end will not be affected too much. If I come on the bench and help Barbosa score on the bench,

It can undoubtedly further improve the team's scoring efficiency during substitute time."

"And although I have changed from starting to substitute, I can actually be defined as a fake substitute like the Spurs Ginobili. In this case, we have me and Barbosa on the bench position, no matter what the team faces in the league.

I believe the team's substitute lineup can easily gain an advantage."

Wang Chao and Balabala said a lot of words he had thought about before, and it really made D'Antoni's statement a little interesting.

The team is in a very strong state now, but can the Suns team win the playoffs?

At least D'Antoni has no idea, so it is of course a good thing for the team to become stronger.

What Wang Chao said is indeed reasonable.

It is undeniable that if Wang Chao is replaced by Dior, the Suns' starting lineup's offensive ability will be affected. His three-point shooting and deterrent power have indeed played a significant role in the field, but Dior actually has the same effect.

He can do it, although his long shot is not stable enough, it is not as good as being released by his opponent.

At the cost of a slight decline in offensive ability of the starting lineup, the substitute lineup's strength is greatly improved. Such a lineup adjustment is definitely worth a try.

A regular season victory is important, but if it is an attempt to prepare for the playoffs, even if it loses a few games, or even ends with a winning streak, it is worth it in D'Antoni's opinion.

"Wang, you have to think about it. The starting and substitute are different. Although your playing time will not be affected too much,..."

Before D'Antoni finished speaking, Wang Chao said firmly: "Coach, I have already thought about it. For me now, the team's victory is more important."

...

When he walked out of D'Antoni's office, Wang Chao breathed a long sigh of relief and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Plan pass!

Of course, the righteous words that D'Antoni said were all fake.

It is undeniable that if he really goes to the bench, the Suns will definitely be stronger than they are now. The starting lineup lacks points because of him, as long as Nash, Marion and others increase their shots slightly, they can be smoothed out.

Especially Nash, in Wang Chao's impression, Nash should have averaged 18.6 points per game and shot a shooting percentage as high as 53.2%. This shooting percentage is really outstanding among point guards.

But because of Wang Chao, Nash has averaged less than 15 points per game so far, which is a bit of a waste.

As for Wang Chao, the appearance of the substitute and starting will not have any impact on his current position in the team, and his playing time will not be reduced.

But when Wang Chao was on the field, his teammates around him were often substitutes for the Suns.

This is different.

Can it feel the same when playing on the court with All-Star big shots such as Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion?

Even if he averaged 19.2 points per game, Wang Chao was still a younger brother on the court. When the above three people reached out to ask for the ball, he had to pass the ball to the opponent, otherwise he would just wait for the ball to be criticized.

But if his teammates were James Jones, Cote Thomas, Marcus Banks, and other supporting role players who most readers might not know, even if Wang Chao transforms into a volute, he will be able to do whatever he wants.

No one would say anything more when he was shooting randomly, because among the substitutes, he was definitely the one with the most confident and efficient offense!

In this way, he has a chance to score more than 20 points per game this season.

As for the other great god on the bench, Leonardo Barbosa... it is better to have a competitor than to face several at the same time?

Moreover, the reason why Wang Chao proposed to play as a substitute with D'Antoni at this time was of course because he had some reliance on it. Just a few days ago, his dribbling ability finally increased to 80!

This means that he can already use the ball to attack independently.

In the past few days, Wang Chao has tried to practice a variety of skills in dribbling and shooting on the court, especially Harden's unique move to take a three-pointer. This move also falls within the range of the shot after dribbling, although

His steps cannot be as perfect as Harden, but it is very difficult to prevent when exerting it with his height and wingspan.

Wang Chao was already a little impatient to show his new skills he had practiced for a long time on the field!

And he didn't wait too long.

On December 22, the Suns faced the challenge of the Washington Wizards at home.

Before the game, the home fans of Phoenix had already shown banners of 19 consecutive victories in the stands in advance.

For fans, they wish the team could keep winning, break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak record, and witness the birth of a new league's best winning streak record.

In their opinion, the Wizards are not a strong enemy. Although the team's core leader Arenas has one of the best performances in his career this season, averaging 29 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game so far, ranking first in the scoring list

Second place, second only to Kobe, who averaged 31 points per game.

However, the Wizards' record is not very good, and they only maintain a winning rate of over 50%. They can still rank in the top eight in the East, which has weaker average strength. If they move to the West, even the tenth place will be a bit difficult.

No one expected that the Wizards would cause such great trouble to the Suns!

At the beginning of the game, the Suns' home fans were a little surprised because in this game, their favorite player Wang Chao did not start. The starting lineup of the team last season was the starting lineup of the team, Berry Dior.

Many people can see that Wang Chao sat on the bench with a calm face, looking unharmed.

Why did Wang Chao suddenly change to the substitute?

This doubt is still in the minds of fans, but the game that has already started has changed suddenly.

"Oh my god! Gilbert's touch in this game is so good! This is his fourth three-pointer in the first quarter! He has made 4 of 6 three-pointers, completely unstoppable

!”

In the first quarter, Arenas of the Wizards opened fire with 6 of 11 shots, 4 of 6 of 3-pointers, 17 points and 2 assists, leading the Wizards to score 39 points in a single quarter.

On the other hand, the Suns only scored 28 points in the first quarter.

In fact, 28 points in a single quarter were no longer low in the era when it was difficult to average scores over 100 per game in 2006, but the Wizards' 39 points in a single quarter were too exaggerated.

D'Antoni couldn't sit still halfway through the first quarter and replaced Dior.

Dior seemed very frustrated when he ended up.

Finally got a starting opportunity. Although Dior didn't know why the head coach suddenly arranged for Wang Chao to play as a substitute and start, he didn't want to waste this rare opportunity, so he performed very actively in the game and wanted to get the ball.

You must use offense to prove your ability.

The result of this was that he made 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter, and he was the only player among the five starting players in the Suns with a shooting percentage of less than 40%.

Although he relied on his all-round attributes and gave 4 assists, which could be considered a contribution to the team, looking at Dior's performance, D'Antoni still couldn't help but wonder whether the decision to let Wang Chao change to the substitute was really correct?

Wang Chao played at the first quarter when he was more than 7 minutes and nearly 8 minutes. As soon as he got on the court, he was immediately taken care of by the Wizards and specially arranged for small forward Caron Butler to mark Wang Chao throughout the whole process.

After appearing, Wang Chao tried to shoot two goals from outside the three-point line, hit one of them and scored 3 points. The first quarter ended.

39:28, the Suns were beaten by the Wizards at home, and they were 11 points behind in the first quarter.

Judging from the situation, the team's winning streak is probably about to end in this game.

The fans of the Suns' home court have begun to feel a little nervous.

Wang Chao didn't care because he hadn't started exerting his strength yet.

After a short break, the second quarter continued.

As Wang Chao thought, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns did not play many starters. The five players who played were Barbosa, Bale, Wang Chao, Marion and Cote Thomas.

Nash and Stoudemire both rested off the court.

If nothing unexpected happens, Nash, who played 11 minutes in the first quarter, should play in about 5 minutes before making the second quarter before playing the remaining games in the second quarter.

As for Stoudemire, the appearance time is similar.

At this time, the 5 minutes at the beginning of the second quarter were the best time for him to seize the opportunity to grab points!

The Suns Marion serves the ball at the bottom line. After receiving the ball, Barbosa quickly held the ball through the half court, and he habitually wants to accelerate and break through and hit the basket.

Previously, with the Suns, Barbosa's time to play at the beginning of the second quarter.

But this time the situation changed.

Before Barbosa could attack, he saw a figure raising his hand to take the initiative to ask for the ball.

"That's... Wang Chao?"

The players on the Suns were stunned when they saw this.

Wang Chao actually raised his hand and asked for the ball on his own initiative? This is so rare.
