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

Chapter 63 The Preseason Begins

Wang Chao and Jones have been at odds for a long time.

The two are in a direct competitive relationship within the team, because they have the same position and the same positioning, and they are both fixed-point three-point shooters.

At the very beginning, Jones looked down on Wang Chao, thinking that the opponent was just a bastard who entered the league by relying on his status as a Huaguo player.

Therefore, Jones intentionally or unintentionally isolated Wang Chao in the team.

As the future Zhan Huang's standard henchman, guard with a knife, Jones has a high emotional intelligence. Although he is only a marginal player in the Suns, he can get along with his teammates. The original Wang Chao was limited by his status as a Huaguo player. With a relatively withdrawn personality, he was easily isolated by Jones. In the end, only Dion, a marginal man with the same illness as him, became his only friend in the entire team.

He who has inherited the memory of another Wang Chao naturally does not have any good feelings for James Jones.

Although Wang Chao is very clear that this kind of intrigue is not uncommon in the NBA. In order to stabilize the position in the team, any behavior is possible. After all, even the fringe figures in the NBA, the salary for a season is an ordinary part-time job A huge amount of money that a person may not earn in his entire life.

Fortunately, Wang Chao crossed over and possessed the system, so he soared into the sky last season and became an important scoring point for the Suns, completely suppressing Jones with his performance on the field.

Facts have proved that performance on the court can ignore all intrigues and tricks off the court.

This is the so-called one power drop ten meetings.

No matter how many small tricks Jones does behind the scenes, it is not realistic to score 20+ or ​​even 30+ points in a game, unless the Suns suddenly become the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Jones is now hugging James' thigh.

Glancing at Jones who might be drawing a circle behind his back to curse him, Wang Chao didn't take him seriously at all, but continued to chat with the reporters, and once again performed the ultra-long-distance attack after he acquired the sniper talent. The stunt of the three-pointer.

On this public training day, the reporters returned with a full load and were very satisfied.

Stoudemire is in excellent condition after returning from injury, and in the new season he should be able to show a combat effectiveness not inferior to that of the 04-06 season before the injury.

The status of Nash, Marion and others has not declined significantly with age.

And the biggest surprise is undoubtedly Wang Chao who completed his evolution in less than three months.

Wang Chao's shooting has become more accurate, he has developed mid-range and ultra-long-range three-pointers, and his athletic ability has also been greatly improved. The improvement of athletic ability will also improve Wang Chao's defensive ability accordingly. After all, 2 meters 06 Where is his height and wingspan of 2 meters? As long as the speed can keep up, even if Wang Chao just stands in front of the offensive players, he can play a good defensive effect.

The Suns made the local media in Phoenix see the hope of winning the new season.

On the second day after the public training day ended, major media wrote articles praising the Suns, and said that the complete Suns would be one of the biggest favorites to win the championship in the new season.

Naturally, the Phoenix fans are excited to see such news, and they can't wait until the start of the new season.

A few days later, September passed, and the time came to early October, when the NBA preseason began.

After more than ten days of training, most of the Suns players have recovered to a relatively good competitive state.

And Wang Chao seized the time of more than ten days to further improve his various abilities through the increase of the training potion.

Before the start of the preseason, Wang Chao's ability values ​​are detailed as follows.

Overall rating: 66.

进攻类综合评分（68）：原地扣篮（47）切入上篮（80)切入扣篮(51)近距离投篮(82)空位中投(90)受干扰中投(84)运球后中投(81)空位三分投篮(99)受干扰三分投篮(99)运球后三分投篮(99)罚球(85)背身勾手(52)背身动作(61)背身后仰跳投(62)造犯规能力(37)控球能力(58)传球能力(56)接球能力（71）。

防守类综合评分（52）：进攻篮板球（46）防守篮板球（71）盖帽（47）抢断（32）外线防守（54）内线防守（61)卡位能力(55)。

精神类综合评分（58）：进攻意识（68）防守意识（51）传球意识（52）协防意识（67）抗干扰（61）稳定性（51）。

体能类综合评分（73.5）：速度（81）敏捷（84）体力（89）力量（65）弹跳（63）持久力（71）爆发力（62）。

The above is the breakdown of all Wang Chao's ability values. It can be seen that in terms of offense and physical fitness, Wang Chao has reached a relatively high level of substitute players in the league, but his defense and mentality are still only in his early 50s. It also seriously lowered his overall ability rating.

In other words, regardless of the defensive end, if you only look at the offensive end and focus on shooting, and then count the three shooting talents, Wang Chao can definitely rank among the league's shooters.

Wang Chao can't wait to try out how strong his evolved fighting power is in the competition!
……

On October 10th, the NBA6-2006 season preseason officially started. The Suns flew to Italy to compete with the top giants of the Italian Serie A, Roma Vertus Basketball Club.

This is Stern's handwriting. Allowing NBA teams to play games with teams from other leagues around the world during the preseason can play a very good role in promoting the NBA to the world.

In the near future, NBA preseason games will also be played against CBA teams.

Although Roman Vertus has a strong dominance in the Italian basketball league, compared with NBA teams, his strength is obviously much worse.

There was no suspense in this game at all. From the beginning of the game, the Suns firmly occupied the initiative of the game. The main players such as Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion played only about 15 minutes, which was a symbolic bright spot. A look, show a look to the fans in Italy, and then the Suns' bench lineup defeated Rome Vertus' main lineup, and won the first preseason victory 98:76.

Wang Chao, who is gearing up for the game, made his debut in this preseason game. He played for 22 minutes, made 10 of 6 three-pointers, scored 20 points and 4 rebounds.

During the game, whenever Wang Chao had the opportunity, he would show off his ultra-long-range three-pointers, and the precise three-pointers from a distance of more than two meters from the three-point line also amazed the Italian fans and asked What's the name of that Asian player.
