NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 23 Anthony: Where will I save my face?

Wang Chao's shooting speed has indeed become much faster, even this kind of shooting after dribbling is very fast.

After scoring two three-pointers in a row, Wang Chao directly closed the point difference to 10 points.

The Nuggets were a little confused by these two three-pointers.

But the Nuggets coach George Karl did not choose to call a timeout. This situation seems to be a coincidence to anyone who looks at it, and it is just good luck.

Although Wang Chao has performed well recently and scored 27 points in the last game, he still has not reached the level that other teams in the league can analyze and study.

Before the Nuggets game, the player analysis report given by the scouts specifically stated that although Wang Chao’s recent three-pointer performance was good, his own overall ability was deviated, and there was no other sufficient ability except for the three-pointer. The skill based on the NBA, and the shooting speed is slow, as long as one player is arranged to follow the defense all the way, it can be completely contained.

So at this time, Carl believes that Wang Chao's two three-pointers can be hit only because the defensive player underestimated the enemy.

Standing on the sidelines, he shouted at the backup forward Demar Johnson who was in charge of defending Wang Chao: "Keep an eye on that Asian player while defending! Don't give him a chance to shoot outside the three-point line!"

The Nuggets attacked, and the basketball was hoisted to the inside Marcus Camby, who carried the Suns inside players and forced a layup.

In the next few rounds, Wang Chao never had a good chance to catch the ball due to being marked by the opponent's defenders all the way, and Barbosa would not take the initiative to pass the ball to Wang Chao if he had a reasonable reason. Wang Chao created a suitable opportunity to catch the ball, but James Jones made a few shots from the outside, but the shooting percentage was not very good.

Wang Chao didn't know what kind of relationship Barbosa had with Jones, and why he would help Jones to suppress his performance. Even all of this was just his guess, but such a guess was enough for Wang Chao to remember Barbosa .

In his impression, this guy was not a good guy either. Later, he seemed to have an affair with Nash's wife, and he cuckolded Nash, so Nash asked him to trade and leave the team.

This incident was widely circulated at the beginning, and Wang Chao didn't know whether the gossip news was true or false, but there was no storm without waves, no matter whether Barbosa green-lighted Nash, it was an indisputable fact that he was traded and left by the Suns.

This alone is enough for Wang Chao to look at Barbosa with colored eyes, and now he is still stumbling him in such a crucial game against Wang Chao.

Wang Chao has secretly decided in his heart that if he has the right to speak in the Suns, he will definitely find a way to force this out at the first time, and it can be regarded as returning Nash's "innocence"...

……

After Wang Chao scored 6 points in a row to recover the point difference, in the next few minutes, the scores of the two teams kept rising. This situation naturally made D'Antoni somewhat dissatisfied.

Taking advantage of an opportunity of a dead ball, he replaced Barbosa and the underperforming James Jones, allowing Nash and other main players to reappear.

Wang Chao, who also came off the bench, was not replaced, but continued to stay on the court as the team's small forward.

When the Nuggets saw the Suns replace Nash, they immediately replaced Anthony, and they were unwilling to catch up with the score advantage they had finally established.

In this way, Wang Chao and Anthony formed a counterpoint.

Glancing at Wang Chao, Anthony didn't pay attention to this Chinese player who had no memory at all.

What Anthony doesn't know is that if he calls his banana boat brother James, the latter must still remember the name Wang Chao, because just half a month ago, Wang Chao made the lore in front of him. The three-pointer allowed the Cavaliers to ruin their lead of up to 20 points and eventually lost the game.

But he will soon remember Wang Chao's name, because Nash's first ball back on the court helped Wang Chao find a chance.

Because he didn't take Wang Chao seriously, Anthony did not follow Wang Chao closely like the previous Nuggets backup forward Demar Johnson.

In other words, Anthony, who is the main scoring point of the Nuggets, has not invested much energy on the defensive end, and he prefers offense to defense.

After Nash organized the offense to attract the Nuggets' defensive attention, he immediately noticed Wang Chao who ran to the bottom corner of the three-point line and waited for an opportunity.

During the breakthrough with the ball, Nash directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao, who received the ball, made a decisive decision and immediately took off. When Anthony found out that Wang Chao was going to shoot and wanted to step forward to defend, it was already too late.

"Shh!"

Three points again, 9 points!

The Nuggets have the ball.

Anthony received the ball from the top arc and directly broke through with the ball facing Wang Chao's defense.

His breakthrough speed was not fast, but he was full of explosive power. The moment his body contacted, Wang Chao was staggered by Anthony, who took advantage of the opportunity to rush inside and dunk with one hand to score.

Anthony dunked the ball very freely, and he didn't feel any pressure from the defensive end at all.

Turning his head to look in the direction of Wang Chao just now, Anthony was about to complain, "Did someone guard me just now? Why didn't I feel it at all."

But when he turned his head, the dejected Wang Chao he imagined standing behind him did not exist. The only thing Anthony saw was a back running towards the frontcourt.

"Get back on defense!"

The Nuggets player shouted.

At the same time, the Suns sent the ball to Nash from the baseline. The latter took two quick steps forward with the ball and threw the basketball towards the frontcourt before halftime.

The accuracy of Nash's passing is not bad at all. Wang Chao, who just ran beyond the three-point line, immediately received the pass from Nash, without any additional adjustments to his posture, he just raised his hand and shot.

At this time, the only person following Wang Chao was the Nuggets guard Greg Buckner. When Wang Chao was in his hands, he tried to jump up to interfere with Wang Chao, but Buckner, who was only 1 meters tall, faced 9 meters Moreover, Wang Chao, with a wingspan of 2 meters, is difficult to cause interference, not to mention that Wang Chao's three-point ability value for interference is 06 full!
The basketball flew to the basket under everyone's gaze, and then went hollow into the net.

4 of 4 three-pointers, less than a single quarter, Wang Chao has scored 12 points!

On the sidelines, D'Antoni's face was full of happiness.

Wang Chao is really his blessing. The point difference that was originally behind, and it took less than a few minutes for Wang Chao to replace him, has actually shrunk to within double digits. No matter what else, the ability of this one-handed three-pointer alone , is enough to make any team in the league value his role!

After being chased by Wang Chao's three-pointers one after another, the Nuggets still did not call a timeout.

Anthony was a little upset and continued to play Wang Chao singles with the ball.

It was just an inattentive effort just now, and Wang Chao has already scored 6 points in front of him. Where does this make him lose face?
