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

Indeed, Wang Chao's previous three-pointers in a row left a deep impression on the Cavaliers. Even if they had replaced the main players to defend Wang Chao, the opponent did not dare to neglect at all. Seeing Wang Chao come to the end.

Outside the corner three-point line, he immediately followed.

But as a result, the offensive pressure on Nash, who was advancing rapidly with the ball, dropped sharply. He only had to face the Cavaliers guard Eric Snow who was defending him.

Snow himself is a role player, averaging only 5 points and 4 assists per game for the Cavaliers. If the Cavaliers didn't have other suitable candidates for the starting point guard position, he would never have become the team's starter.

.

Facing the extremely fast Nash, Snow could only retreat continuously to ensure that his defense would not be out of position. But even so, Nash quickly approached him, passed the opponent with a flexible and disguised step in advance, and then made a layup with a low hand.

Score.

The Suns scored two more points, and the point difference narrowed to single digits, only 9 points away!

Although Wang Chao did not touch the basketball in this round, his movement judgment was very reasonable, successfully attracting the attention of the Cavaliers' defensive players and creating space for Nash's offense.

This is the standard tactical play in the future small ball era, using the threat of range to help teammates occupy space.

Since the Warriors acquired Durant, they have thoroughly carried this trick forward. Curry and Thompson dropped to the bottom corners, one on the left and one on the right, allowing Durant to hold the ball in singles. The powerful three-point deterrent made other opponents

The players did not dare to make any moves and could only watch helplessly as Durant relied on his super personal ability to defeat his teammates who were defending alone.

In addition to the Warriors, teams such as the Rockets and James' version 2.0 Cavaliers also have very similar styles.

As a pioneer in the small ball era, the Suns are undoubtedly the team most suitable for Wang Chao's style of play.

…

The Cavaliers attacked, James hit the basket with the ball, and scored the ball strongly against the double-teaming of Marion and Diaw. Finally, the Cavaliers scored for the first time in a few minutes, helping the team to stabilize slightly.

In this situation, the score difference returned to 11 points.

But the momentum on the Suns' side has fully risen.

James on the Cavaliers side had just scored with his front foot, and immediately the Suns' blitz attack came again!

This time Nash quickly advanced with the ball and found Barbosa in the right corner.

Barbosa, known as the Brazilian Lightning, ran really fast. When he was in the bottom corner, Wang Chao didn't even have time to run past half court.

During the 05-06 season, Barbosa was at the peak of his career. While he was as fast as the Thunder, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 44.4%.

The reason why the Suns are still at the forefront of the Western Conference despite missing their number one scoring core, Stoudemire, is that his contribution cannot be ignored.

Barbosa, who was positioned in the bottom corner, received Nash's shadowy pass and immediately shot before the Cavaliers defenders could catch up to cover the defense, making a solid three-pointer.

In today's game, the Suns collectively felt cold, and the only two players in good condition were Nash and Barbosa.

Of course, three people should be counted now, because Wang Chao made 3 of 3 three-pointers and has now scored 9 points.

The point difference was once again narrowed to 8 points, but Wang Chao did not feel happy.

Because in the previous two rounds, he had no chance to touch the ball.

The Suns' offensive rhythm is very fast, which can be said to be astonishingly fast.

Except for the time when he ran to the frontcourt in advance, Wang Chao basically kept running back and forth the rest of the time. Although as a player who had previously made 3 of 3 three-pointers and had a great touch that put huge pressure on the Cavaliers, Wang Chao

As long as Chao stands outside the three-point line, it can have a shocking effect, but Wang Chao himself doesn't want to just do that.

The task given to him by the system is to score at least 5 three-pointers in this game and help the team win.

The Suns now have a scoring rhythm, while the Cavaliers are playing quite chaotically, and the possibility of winning is increasing. But if they don't have a chance to touch the ball in the next few minutes, at least

What to do with the mission of hitting 5 three-pointers?

"We can't continue like this, we have to find ways to find open opportunities!"

Wang Chao thought this in his heart.

Wang Chao has great faith in Nash's ability as a passing master. If he is absolutely open, the opponent will definitely pass the ball to him as soon as possible.

But the Cavaliers have now become wary of Wang Chao. In the first two rounds, there was always a defensive player staring at them, not giving themselves any open opportunities.

Although Wang Chao's three-point shooting ability has reached the full value of 99, his other abilities are still at a completely substandard level. It is difficult to get rid of the defense of the opponent's main players.

If Dieng is still on the court at this time, Wang Chao can let him help him pick and roll to get open opportunities.

But now, Dieng, who is also a bench rotation player like him, has been replaced. At this time, all the Suns players on the court are the main players. Who will deny him a pick-and-roll request from a fringe player?

The Cavaliers attacked, and seeing the points almost being eroded little by little, James became a little anxious. Originally, this was only the third season of his career, and his experience and temperament were far inferior to the mature and steady James who would be in the future. He chose to play outside the three-point line.

Three points.

James faced Marion's defense and shot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, but the result was naturally a miss. After all, James' three-point shooting is not very strong. His career shooting rate of 34.4% can only be considered average, at least better than him.

The strong offensive ability at the basket is far different.

The moment he saw James take off from the outside and hit a three-pointer, Wang Chao's eyes immediately lit up.

He knew that the opportunity had come!

The moment James took action, Wang Chao immediately ran towards the frontcourt without looking back.

He knew very well that with his own speed, it would be impossible to get the upper hand unless the stupid bird flew ahead.

Sure enough, James missed a three-pointer. Big Z relied on his height advantage to grab the offensive rebound, but missed the tip-in again. The Suns protected the defensive rebound and immediately passed the ball to Nash. When Nash received the ball,

Immediately, he saw Wang Chao, who rushed to the Cavaliers' backcourt first.

"That boy, he runs very fast!"

After being slightly surprised, Nash immediately threw the ball forward with a long pass without thinking.

The basketball spanned less than half the court and reached Wang Chao's hands accurately.

"Damn! So accurate!"

The moment Wang Chao caught the ball, he was truly shocked.

From such a long distance, Nash's pass was not only accurate, but also had just the right intensity. Wang Chao felt that the ball was extremely comfortable to receive. In comparison, the ball passed to him by Dieng before was simply a piece of shit.

At this moment, Dion, who was being burned off the court, didn't know what Wang Chao was complaining about.

Seeing Wang Chao receiving the ball and the defensive player still some distance away from him, Dieng couldn't help but stood up from the bench in excitement.

"Wang Chao! Shoot quickly!"
