With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 39 Wang Chao won?

Wang Chao's whole set of movements looks very blunt, even a little stumbling, even if he makes mistakes and loses the ball at any time, it is not surprising at all.

But no matter how reluctantly it works, Wang Chao still used this set of breakthroughs and retreats to shoot.

To some extent, step-back shooting is also a kind of shooting after dribbling. Wang Chao's 99 three-pointer after dribbling also takes effect.

That's the most important thing.

Kobe didn't expect Wang Chao to use such a move at all. Although he stopped immediately and stepped forward to defend, his raised hand didn't have time to block Wang Chao's vision.

The basketball is hollow and hits the net accurately.

2 of 2 three-pointers!And they all hit in front of Kobe.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Even Kobe himself looked at Wang Chao in disbelief.

But Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Become!

Regardless of the next matchup situation, these two three-pointers are enough to make the Suns teammates and head coach D'Antoni trust him.

What Wang Chao needs to bet on is how high the shooting rate can be maintained under Kobe's defense with the 99 interference three-point ability value and the 5% shooting rate bonus given by the sharpshooter.

Obviously, Wang Chao scored 6 points in a row, which made the Lakers become impatient, or Kobe played a little impetuously on the court.

Facing Bell's defense, Kobe directly broke through to the basket forcibly, and faced the Suns' three-person double-team defense and forced a fallback jumper. Of course, such a difficult shooting rate would not be too high. The rebound was taken off by Marion. What followed was the Suns' lightning-like counterattack.

"Follow Wang Chao! Don't let him shoot easily!"

The Lakers rushed back to defend. Kobe was far away from Wang Chao because he broke through to the basket just now. At this time, it was too late to catch up with Wang Chao, so he could only shout to his teammates to help defend.

Facing Wang Chao, who had scored two consecutive three-pointers, the Lakers did not dare to neglect at all. Immediately, a player followed Wang Chao and ran straight to the bottom corner of the left three-point line.

But in this way, the Lakers' original defense also appeared flawed.

Nash took the lead and rushed to the basket and scored a layup with one-handed ball.

The situation of the game seemed to be opened up all of a sudden. The Suns' extremely difficult offense in the first half, especially the second quarter, became extremely easy and simple at this time.

This is the deterrent effect of a top shooter.

With the defensive center of gravity shifted, both Nash and Marion got a lot of good opportunities for the Suns. Nash made 6 of 5 shots and Marion made 5 of 3 shots. They scored 11 points and 8 points respectively.

But in the entire third quarter, the most dazzling boy was Wang Chao.

Facing Kobe's defense, Wang Chao did not continue to choose to evade, but faced it bravely. During the game, he tried to single out Kobe head-on many times.

Throughout the third quarter, Wang Chao took as many as 9 shots from outside the three-point line, hit 4 goals, scored 12 points, and made 44.4% of his three-pointers.

Of course, if Wang Chao took advantage of Kobe's unpreparedness to attack the first two goals, then Wang Chao singled out Kobe should be 7 of 2 shots, and the hit rate is less than 3%.

No way, although Wang Chao has a full three-point shooting ability, his skills in other aspects are far behind Kobe's. Just a few more rounds of confrontation, Kobe can see through Wang Chao's underpants No matter what kind of feint he made, Kobe remained unmoved.

However, judging from the direction of the entire third quarter, it is obvious that Kobe's defense against Wang Chao failed.

Although the 44.4% three-point shooting rate is lower than Wang Chao's previous efficiency, it is definitely not an inefficient offense when looking at the league, especially during the playoffs. Moreover, Wang Chao's offense outside the three-point line has also successfully pulled the Suns. The overall offensive rhythm of the team.

Counting Wang Chao's 12 points, the Suns scored 36 points in the third quarter, while the Lakers only scored 28 points in a single quarter.

The 13-point difference was chased by the Suns and only 5 points away, this is not over yet!

As soon as the game started in the fourth quarter, the two teams were still on the field with the substitutes replaced at the end of the third quarter, but Wang Chao was still on the court.

Wang Chao, who had almost no playing time in the first half, only played about 8 minutes in the third quarter, and his physical fitness is still very strong, and D'Antoni also hopes that Wang Chao's fiery touch can further help the Suns gain a greater advantage .

Wang Chao lived up to D'Antoni's expectations.

With the two teams mostly playing as substitute players, Wang Chao's ability to run without the ball after two months of hard training has been brought into full play.

The Lakers backup forward Vujacic couldn't keep up with Wang Chao's running at all. He was thrown away by Wang Chao's running for three consecutive rounds, and then calmly shot from outside the three-point line.

On 3 of 2 shots, Wang Chao scored another 6 points. While raising his personal score to 18 points, the Lakers had to call a timeout and then replaced the main players in advance.

The fourth quarter lasted less than 2 minutes, and the difference between the two teams was only 3 points.

Kobe, who reappeared, began to take over the possession of the ball and frequently attacked with the ball, but the Suns had already expected this scene and used double-team tactics against Kobe without hesitation.

The black mamba is worthy of being a black mamba, he is not timid in the face of many people double-teaming, I will do it when I have to do it, if you have the ability, guard me to death!
Then in the fourth quarter, Kobe made 8 of 3 shots, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 9 points in a single quarter. The Lakers only scored 22 points in the entire fourth quarter.

For the Suns, Marion scored 6 points with 3 of 6 points, Barbosa scored 3 points with 2 of 5 points, and Wang Chao, who scored 6 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, made a three-pointer in the next 10 minutes. He made 5 of 2 shots, scored another 6 points, and scored another 12 points in the fourth quarter.

太阳队第四节全队得到29分，总比分110:107逆转湖人，总比分3:0提前获得赛点。

"Why is that?"

The fans at the Staples Center looked at each other in despair.

At the end of the first half of the game, they once thought that they had won the game. Although the team was still behind by a large score after winning this game, at least there was still a little hope.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly in the second half, and the good 2:1 directly turned into a desperate 3:0.

Wang Chao is undoubtedly the key factor leading the reversal.

Wang Chao, who didn't score 1 point in the first half, shot a lot of three-pointers in the second half of the game. Whether facing Kobe's defense or other Lakers players, he shot very decisively without hesitation.

Throughout the second half, Wang Chao made a total of 17 shots from beyond the three-point line and hit 8 goals. The three-point shooting rate remained at 47%, and he scored 24 points.

The second highest scorer on the Suns team was Marion with 18 points and 7 rebounds.

As for Kobe, he was not in very good form in today's game. He was chased and intercepted by many people from the Suns. He only made 18 of 6 shots and 10 of 8 free throws. He scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. His score was also not as high as Wang Chao.

From this point of view, the duel between Wang Chao and Kobe ended in Wang Chao's victory. Although the duel was not too fair, and Wang Chao had never defended Kobe in the game, who cares?
