Chapter 95 Sloan: You shouldn't let Kirirenko guard him!

At the same time as the first round of the NBA playoffs ended, the league also announced the selection of the best team in a timely manner.

Nash, who averaged 15+13 per game and Stoudemier, who averaged 22+9.6, were selected for the Best Team with his personal data and the team's 68 wins in the regular season.

The two were selected for the first round, including Duncan, who was stable at 20+10, Nowitzki, who was 24+9, and Kobe, who won the scoring champion with 31.6 points.

The five players selected for the second team are Yao Yao of the Rockets, McGrady, James of the Cavaliers, Bosh of the Raptors and Arenas of the Wizards.

The five players in the best third team were Billups, Wade, Anthony, Garnett and Howard.

Before the announcement of the Best Team, there were very loud calls for Wang Chao to be selected for the Best Team. After all, his average score of 20.9 points per game and his terrifying 360+ three-point shooting numbers in a single season were extremely eye-catching.

But on the one hand, Nash and Stoudemire have been selected for the first team of the Suns, and on the other hand, as a forward, Wang Chao can't compare to these forwards selected for the best team.

James at 27+6+6, Bosh at 22.6+10, Anthony at 28.9+6, Garnett at 22.4+12.8+4.

The above four players who were selected for the second and third teams respectively are far from comparable to Wang Chao, whether in terms of personal data or status in their respective teams.

It is worth mentioning that Howard, the No. 2004 No. 2004 pick, was selected into the Best Three Team with a double-double of 17.6 points and 12.3 rebounds, and finally won a goal in front of Wang Chao.

After all, as the No. 2004 pick, Howard was selected for the first time as a substitute like Wang Chao when he was an All-Star, and his performance was not as good as Wang Chao in the All-Star Game.

Howard is the No. 1 NBA pick, but he is even comparable to Wang Chao's second round pick. He has a bit of a decline. Even if only the two of them are the only one in the whole 2004, Howard has to become a better one.

For example, Wang Chao was selected into the best team first.

However, today's league centers are dying and O'Neal is getting old. Duncan and Studmeier are not a traditional center in the true sense. Looking at the league, only Yao is the only one.

It is also because of this that Howard was selected into the Best Third Team with this data.

In fact, in the next few seasons, the three places in the center position of the All-A-Series will be basically divided by Yao Yao, Stoudemier and Howard, especially with Yao Yao and Stoudemier in the future.

After being injured, Howard entered the leading stage, monopolizing the best team for five consecutive seasons, and won the honors of Best Defensive Player, Best Defensive Team, Rebound King, Block King and other honors.

That is at that time, the league had the remarks that Howard could exchange James alone.

Of course, this is all a story.

In short, in the next few years, the competitiveness of the inside center will be far less intense than that of the forward line.

Howard won the honors is definitely much easier and easier than Wang Chao.

Wang Chao was not discouraged because he had learned in advance through the gossip that most of the best sixth man award was probably his.

Since serving as a substitute at the end of December, Wang Chao has basically rarely started. He played in all 82 games in the regular season, including 29 starts and 53 substitutes. Such substitutes are enough to make him enter the best one

Six people were selected.

There was a precedent in the league. Ricky Pierce of the Bucks played 79 games in the regular season in the 1986-87 season, starting in 31 of which, and was still elected as the Sixth Man.

In the next 10-11 season, the Lakers Odom started 35 games in 82 games and was still selected as the Sixth Man.

In comparison, although Wang Chao started 29 games, it was definitely not an exaggeration to participate in the Best Sixth Person selection.

But Barbosa's psychological shadow area is a bit large.

It was clearly him who came first! He has always been a substitute in the Suns. Why did Wang Chao, a man who became a monk halfway and snatch away the best sixth man that originally belonged to him?

This season, the Suns achieved a record of 68 wins. Even if Barbosa was suppressed by Wang Chao on the bench and shrank to 16.8 points and 5 assists, as long as the opponent is not Wang Chao, the possibility of the best six players is very high.

But there is no way. Whether Wang Chao plays as a substitute or not, he doesn't count. The Suns have a head coach. It's not the turn of Barbosa, a substitute player, to point fingers. He can't even pass the ball to Wang Chao on the court.

When he ran out of the open position, he passed the ball slowly, and D'Antoni would immediately point fingers and curse on the sidelines. If the plot is more serious, he would even give him a substitution and reflect on the court.

Sometimes Barbosa doubts whether Wang Chao is the head coach's illegitimate son?

On Wang Chao's side, there is a high probability that he will win not only the best sixth person, but also one award that is the fastest-progress player award.

Looking at the league, no one is more suitable for this award than Wang Chao. Over the past year, Wang Chao's progress has been too fast. Who can believe that in the first half of last season, he was just a

The water dispenser manager who is completely unable to play and may be cut by the team at any time?

These two awards should have been announced as the regular season MVP, as the season awards, after the end of the divisional semi-finals, before the start of the East and West finals.

But unlike the fiercely competitive regular season MVP, it is not that difficult to select these two awards. Wang Chao is really too outstanding among all the competitors, and the league official side, president's father Stern also hopes that the league will be re-exist.

If a Chinese player of a star-level Chinese like Yao Yao will naturally support Wang Chao without leaving any effort.

Even the rumor that Wang Chao received in advance was actually a hint given by the league official intentionally or unintentionally.

The Best Sixth Man and the Fastest Progressive Player Award will not make Wang Chao feel much excited. Compared with the season awards such as the regular season MVP, this award is completely like a scrap, and no one will remember or pay attention to it at all.

.

If you are introducing a player, you can use the player who has won the Best Sixth Man or the Fastest Progressive Player Award when introducing him, it means that he is not of high quality and has no honor to be able to show off at all.

Wang Chao will definitely not be satisfied with this, so for him, these two awards are just one of the bargaining chips when negotiating with the team in the summer.

Moreover, the value of this chip may not be as good as his performance in the field in the next Western Conference semi-finals.

Suns vs. Jazz, Wang Chao will face his rare nemesis Kirirenko, who is one of the league's most rare nemesis, and he doesn't even know what kind of performance he can perform.

There is no way, Kirilianko almost suppressed Wang Chao.

With the same height, Wang Chao's 2.18-meter wingspan is already outstanding in the league, but compared with Kirilenko's exaggerated 2.28, it is almost a little bit different.

While suppressing Wang Chao in terms of static talent, Kirilenko even crushed Wang Chao in terms of dynamic talent.

The weight of 107 kilograms makes Kirilianko's strength against inside players not too much of a loss. At the same time, his explosive power and bounce are not inferior to black players at all. Based on excellent dynamics and static talents, Kirilianko is not only defended by one person.

Both the best defense capabilities of the league.

Compared with Kirilenko, Wang Chao has only two advantages. The first is that his speed is slightly faster than Kirilenko.

The opponent's speed and agility are at most a little early in the 80s, and are already considered very fast in the forward line, but compared with Wang Chao's continuous training potion to assist in training, he has reached a speed of 85 and agility of 86.

A little slower.

If such a numerical difference is not enough to make Wang Chao beat Kirirenko by speed, then when the long-distance runner's talent is activated and the second stage characteristics are achieved and the running speed bonus is obtained, the situation will be completely different.

When it comes to long-distance runners' talent, we have to mention Wang Chao's second advantage in facing Kirilenko, physical fitness.

The physical fitness of AK47 is definitely above the league average. Last season, Kirilianko averaged 37.7 minutes per game in the regular season. Although she is incomparable to the physical strength of Iverson, James, Kobe and others who averaged more than 40 minutes per game.

But it is far better than most starting players in the league.

If he wants to compete with Wang Chao for physical fitness... he is almost in a hurry.

Wang Chao's physical strength and ability value has reached 91 now, which should be about the same as Kirilenko.

However, the existence of long-distance runners' talent is destined that Wang Chao's physical fitness will gradually surpass Kirilenko and even crush him as the competition progresses.

In other words, against Kirilenko, Wang Chao was afraid that he would not have much chance in the first half of the game, but in the second half, as the opponent's physical fitness declined and Wang Chao activated the long-distance runner's talent skills increased and decreased, Wang Chao could only obtain it.

Opportunities to score stably.

In addition, there is another point that must be referenced. Wang Chao is now a substitute player for the Suns. His appearance is usually in the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, and his playing time with Kirilenko.

The top is staggered. If the Jazz don’t arrange targeted defense, Wang Chao will definitely be able to perform on the court.

...

The first game of the Suns and Jazz's divisional semifinals was played on May 7 at the Suns' home court in Phoenix.

The Suns' starting lineup did not adjust in this game, and it was still Nash, Bale, Dior, Marion and Stoudemire.

On the Jazz, the five starting players are point guard Deron Williams, shooting guard Gordon Girisek, small forward Andre Kirilenko, power forward Carlos Boozer,

Center Memit Oku.

From the inside height, the Jazz clearly have the upper hand.

With Boozer at 2.06 and Oku who is 2.11 meters away, the Jazz's inside line is much more than Stoudemire who is 2.08 meters away from Marion 2.01 meters away from Marion.

But this situation is already familiar to the Suns.

During the regular season, almost most teams have an advantage in the interior height when facing the Suns, but why can the Suns win a record of 68?

No matter how tall your inside height is, it is useless. You can keep up with the pace of the Suns running and shooting.

The Jazz are a standard positional team, and the offensive pace is not fast. Although under the control of new point guard Delon Williams, it is much faster than the Spurs, Pistons and other teams, you can want to keep up with the Suns' offense.

The pace is still a bit difficult, mainly because the Jazz can keep up with the outside, and both Boozer and Oku are not players with faster movements.

Boozer is a little better, and he is a relatively fast player among the inside players. When Yao Yao faced Boozer in the first round, he was often defeated because of the opponent's flexible inside steps and could not prevent the opponent.

As for Oku, although he has a pretty good three-point shooting ability, his speed is definitely not fast, and he is even very afraid of fast opponents.

By chance, the Suns' Stodmeier is here.

Stoudemire's speed is much faster than Boozer, and he is far away from Oku.

So what if you have a height advantage in the inside line? Can you catch up with me?

At the beginning of the game, Nash frequently cooperated with Stoudemire in pick-and-roll screens, using the offensive routines that Deron and Boozer were best at attacking the Jazz rim.

Oku could not keep up with Stoudemire's pace at all, and was constantly thrown away from the basket by the opponent's speed.

As a last resort, the Jazz replaced the defense, and Boozer went to defend Stoudemire. But the problem was that Marion was not running slowly, or the Suns, a team known for their running and bombing tactics, was before O'Neal arrived.
