Chapter 144 The head is iron!
Wang Chao felt amused.
He has also heard about Smith's remarks.
In his opinion, Smith's analysis was logical and very reasonable, but it was a pity that what he analyzed was Wang Chao a few days ago, and now he is a completely different person.
Furthermore, Wang Chao feels that this kind of statement also needs more practice to prove it, at least it should not be believed.
Now the 76ers' defensive strategy against Wang Chao: give up the shot, never pass the pass, and just go short, which is obviously a state of complete confidence. In Wang Chao's view, the head coach of the 76ers has also been led astray by Smith.
"I guess it has something to do with my last open shot."
Wang Chao smiled lightly.
but
"Since the opportunity is given back, then I will not be polite!"
"Shh!"
Wang Chao jumped up on the spot and made a shot. After the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, it bounced on the rim and hit the net!
hit!
"Hit?!"
Brad was a little surprised, and Iverson, O'Neal and others were also a little surprised, and the 76ers coach Brett Brown was also surprised.
It is he who said that he would rather let Wang Chao completely empty than block the pass.
It wasn't because of Smith. Before the game, he seemed to have observed the video of the game and saw that Wang Chao did not have the defect of mid-range shooting. After feeling Wang Chao's strong passing ability, he decided to implement such a tactic.
And after Wang Chao hit the iron for the first time, he became more convinced that his tactics were correct, and even if Wang Chao hit this mid-range shot, it was just luck.
Tactics continue.
So the following NBA regular season scene, a strange event that has never happened in history appeared.
2010-2011 season, NBA regular season.
The Philadelphia 76ers host the New Jersey Nets.
With 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Wang Chao hit 8 consecutive undefended open shots in the half-block area, scoring 16 points in a single quarter.
I have to say that Brett Brown had a very hard head tonight.
Except that he thinks that Wang Chao's mid-range shot is not good, he thinks that even if Wang Chao is allowed to score alone, he will not be given the opportunity to link up the team and send a wonderful pass.
In the end, there was no substantive effect. This kind of non-defense at all, allowing the opponent to score 8 goals in a row, caused great dissatisfaction among the fans, and some even suspected that the 76ers were playing match-fixing.
There was a sound of sighing on the field, which made Brett Brown embarrassed for a while. It was not until the end of the half that he finally realized that Wang Chao's mid-range shot seemed to be quite accurate, and it was even more accurate than imagined.
Halftime is over.
76ers (56): (52) Nets.
Under the leadership of Wang Chao, withstood the powerful attack of "Shark" O'Neal, the Nets were only 4 points behind and entered the second half, making this game without any suspense and the 76ers must win.
It became confusing again.
"The Huaxia boy of the artifact, amazing performance!" Barkley looked at Smith in surprise, and said with a smile: "It seems that your remarks are wrong!"
"I"
Smith's face was livid, and his cheeks were hot, as if he had been slapped severely.
He made 8 of 8 shots in a single quarter, and Wang Chao slapped Smith and all those who supported Barkley with real actions.
And Smith was hacked even worse.
However, quietly seeing the words of praise from the TV station leader displayed on the mobile phone, as well as the guarantee of the bonus is also a secret joy in my heart.
In the second half of the second quarter, because the 76ers let Wang Chao's tactics go, he became the end point of most offenses, which meant a great consumption of energy.
so.
After the half-time break, when the third quarter started, Wang Chao did not play, but five starters played.
This is what Johnson means. The main purpose is to allow Wang Chao to have more rest time, so that he can have sufficient physical strength and play the best level in the final stage of the game.
Without Wang Chao on the court, Johnson hoped the Nets could keep the point difference within 10 points.
However.
The Nets' starting performance far exceeded Johnson's imagination. Center Lopez was completely misfired in this game and was still crushed by O'Neal, who was still able to score easily on his head.
But
Farmar and Morrow ushered in an explosion. Farmar made 8 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 12 points. Morrow was also good, shooting from inside and outside, 5 of 3 shots, and free throws He made 4 of 3 free throws and scored 9 points.
The explosion of the two, in the absence of Wang Chao, resisted the 76ers' rapid offensive in the third quarter, not only did not open the score, but even tied the score.
76ers (82): (82) Nets.
At the end of the third quarter, the two teams drew.
The reason why Farmar and Morrow were able to break out had a lot to do with Wang Chao's consecutive assists, because these exquisite passes gave them a sense of touch and confidence.
Because Wang Chao played in the second half of the third quarter, he took a rest for the whole quarter.
It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the third quarter, the 76ers replaced O'Neal and Brad. This move was obviously aimed at Wang Chao.
So that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which is the last quarter, O'Neal and Brad went straight to the court, and Wang Chao, who got enough rest, also went straight to the court.
The victory of this game is very important to the 76ers. A 7-game winning streak will definitely increase the morale of the team infinitely, but it is also important to the Nets.
If they win, winning the third team in the East will not only prove the strength of the team, but also boost the morale of the team.
Both teams are thinking in their hearts that they must win the game.
then
The final decisive battle entered a fierce stage from the beginning of the fourth quarter.
The 76ers have the ball.
Brad received a pass from Iverson in the middle of the arc, and immediately asked for a pick-and-roll, bypassing Wang Chao's defense, and rushed to the basket.
"Oh, this ball is really difficult!"
"Brad did a great job. This level of physical fitness and physical talent is really good."
Smith and Barkley praised again and again.
"Roar!"
After Brad scored the first attack in the fourth quarter, he also roared to vent his emotions.
He hadn't played well before again.
Except for the short-lived highlight performance in the first quarter, Brad's performance in the matchup with Wang Chao was extremely poor, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was completely blown.
In the first three quarters, he made 14 of 5 shots, except for the first 6 of 4 shots. In the matchup with Wang Chao, he only made 8 of 1 shots and scored a poor two points.
Not only that, he was also intercepted 4 times by Wang Chao, and was broken 3 times in single defense.
until now.
Brad made 15 of 6 shots and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Wang Chao made 10 of 9 shots and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 8 steals.
There is a world of difference between the two data.
Being suppressed all the time, by the underdog Wang Chao, Brad was aggrieved and angry, and that's why he roared excitedly after scoring a goal.
He is very clear now that he has completely fallen to the bottom in tonight's contest with Wang Chao.
But if you want to save the situation, you have to win the game. As long as you win the game, all the statistics will be greatly reduced, or even vanished.
Therefore, Brad no longer thinks about targeting Wang Chao, no longer thinking about beating Wang Chao one-on-one, now...he just wants to win the game.
Netball rights.
Farmar controlled the ball for half the court. Facing the 76ers with O'Neal, it was very difficult to play fast break tactics, and the success rate was not too high.
So positional warfare is the best choice.
Wang Chao didn't hold the ball, and now the opponent is strictly guarding against his pass, even if he can break through the defender one-on-one, and then shoot and score.
But a basketball game is a team game after all. Singles play greatly affects the overall rhythm of the team and the performance of other players. Until the last moment, he does not want to do this.
Therefore, Wang Chao, who knows his own strengths and weaknesses, mostly runs without the ball.
In this way, not only can the team's tactics work, but he can also have the opportunity to find a suitable open space, catch the ball and help the team score.
After the head coach of the 76ers has seen Wang Chao's precise mid-range shooting ability, he will obviously not be stupid and will not give him an easy shot.
Where is Wang Chao, there must be someone there.
Even if Almar and Morrow broke out, the 76ers still give priority to pinching Wang Chao. Wang Chao, who runs without the ball, gives the 76ers a great deterrent.
The Nets have many young players, and there is no problem with moving the ball many times and running many times. Under the deterrent force of Wang Chao's running without the ball, the basketball runs smoothly.
Farmar, Morrow and McGrady scored shots one after another. Although they didn't score every goal, they all scored and helped the team score.
However, the 76ers' offense is not bad. O'Neal is still very stable at this point, crushing Lopez, scoring frequently at the basket, and shooter Iverson also has a stable output.
Except for them, the other players of the 76ers still played at the level that a strong team should have.
Half the game is over.
The 76ers called a timeout.
76ers (102): (103) Nets.
The Nets took the lead. This was the first time the Nets took the lead in the game.
"Wang Chao's running without the ball put a lot of pressure on the 76ers, created many scoring opportunities for the Nets players, and allowed the Nets to take the lead for the first time in this game. The Nets' offense tonight was smooth and magnificent. Feeling very hopeful to win the game.”
"Indeed, the deterrent power of Wang Chao's running without the ball has a touch of Kobe, but the 76ers can win 6 consecutive victories, and their strength should not be underestimated. Until the last moment, it is still hard to tell the outcome."
Half time.
Under the defensive pressure of at least two people, Wang Chao didn't get many shots. He made 2 of 1 shots and scored two points. One of them was a shot in a confrontation and missed.
However, he sent two assists and a steal.
