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

Of course, Dion was just joking with Wang Chao. He would never have imagined that Wang Chao was really taking drugs, but he was taking virtual drugs rewarded by the system.

The stamina potion not only gave Wang Chao more physical energy, but with use, he also discovered effects that were not noted in the system.

No matter how exhausted Wang Chao was from training the day before, as long as he had taken the stamina potion before, he could immediately get up full of energy the next day, and he seemed not to feel any accumulation of fatigue.

Wang Chao couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only attribute it to the stamina potion.

"Great, you have performed very well in these games, and your playing time has steadily improved. If this continues, Wang, you can really enter the team's stable rotation!"

Dion was truly happy for his friend, but he immediately saw Wang Chao frowning slightly.

"What? With such an outstanding performance, aren't you still dissatisfied?"

Satisfied? Of course Wang Chao is not satisfied.

With the Suns defeating the Bulls, the winning streak has come to four games, and there are only four games left before the eight-game winning streak required by the system mission.

There are two conditions for Wang Chao to complete the task arranged by the system. The first is for the team to win eight consecutive games, and the second is to increase the average score per game to more than 15 points during the winning streak!

The first condition is of course no problem given the overall strength of the Suns. Wang Chao can definitely win.

But the second one doesn't work.

Including today's game, Wang Chao's average score in the four games is exactly 12 points.

As a rotation substitute player, with an average playing time of just over ten minutes, he can score 12 points, which is already a pretty good level.

But this is of course not enough. What Wang Chao wants is to average more than 15 points per game and meet the system's mission conditions.

"In the next four games, if we want to increase our scoring average to more than 15 points per game... we must score at least 18 points in each game."

Wang Chao frowned slightly.

This is a little more difficult.

The simple truth is that so far, only two people in the Suns team have averaged more than 18 points per game, namely Marion who averaged 21 points per game and Nash who averaged 19 points per game.

In addition, others, including Barbosa, Bell, Diaw and other team main players, all averaged less than 15 points per game.

What even they can't do, how can Wang Chao, who has an overall rating of only 52, do it?

Of course, things can still turn around. After all, there are still four games to come. If Wang Chao can score a super high score in one of these games, the difficulty of the task will be reduced a lot.

With a three-point shooting ability value of 99, even if Wang Chao cannot consistently score 18 points in every game, he still has a chance to score high points in every game, such as 10 three-pointers in a single game.

"What an opportunity..."

Wang Chao had good intentions, but unfortunately the development of things was not always as smooth as imagined.

On February 6, the Suns faced the Timberwolves at home.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, led by Wolf King Kevin Garnett, have plummeted this season and are heading straight for the No. 1 pick.

But in this game, the Timberwolves caused a lot of trouble for the Suns.

Nash made 10 of 19 shots in the game, 11 of 11 free throws, scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, leading the Suns to a narrow 103:101 victory over the Timberwolves.

Wang Chao still got about 15 minutes of playing time in the game, but unlike the previous games, he only got two shots in this game, and he wasted one. He made 1 of 2 three-pointers and only scored 3 points.

.

The Timberwolves' tactics against the Suns were to cut off Nash's contact with his teammates and prevent Nash from passing the ball to his teammates.

The latter solved the predicament very well with his offensive ability that was not inferior to that of top scorers, but Wang Chao was deceived.

"This tm..."

At the end of the game, Wang Chao felt the urge to curse.

What was originally a task that could be accomplished by averaging 18 points per game in 4 games, with the end of this game, directly became a task that can be accomplished by averaging 23 points in 3 games!

Why does this become more difficult the more you adjust it?

On February 8, the Suns flew to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies away from home.

The Suns won the game 108:102.

Wang Chao finally seized a rare opportunity. After his appearance, he hit 6 goals in 8 attempts from beyond the three-point line and scored 18 points, becoming one of the key factors for the Suns to win.

Wang Chao, who scored 18 points, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although even after scoring 18 points, Wang Chao still had to score 25.5 points in the remaining two games to ensure an average of 15 points per game in eight games. However, Wang Chao's performance in this game successfully won the praise of head coach De

Anthony's approval.

He also got the opportunity to participate in the post-match press conference for the second time.

At this time, Wang Chao actually had a certain amount of attention in Phoenix, where the Suns were.

After all, ever since Wang Chao beat the Cavaliers with 15 points in a single quarter, the Suns have embarked on an exciting winning streak. With the team's victory over the Grizzlies, the winning streak has reached 6 games.

In these 6 games, Wang Chao averaged 11.5 points per game, all of which came from outside the three-point line.

The score of 11.5 points is not high, and it is not even ranked among the top five in the team.

But the problem is that Wang Chao's playing time and number of shots are pitifully low.

Under limited conditions, Wang Chao was able to score in double figures, and his efficiency was quite impressive.

Even Nash said in an interview before that Wang Chao's three-pointers are more accurate than him.

D'Antoni certainly understands this.

The more he sees Wang Chao's recent performance, the more satisfied he becomes. Not only is he efficient and stable on the court, but he is also extremely hardworking and conscientious in daily training. He comes earlier than anyone else and leaves later than anyone else.

It's just that as a head coach, D'Antoni has far more and deeper things to consider than ordinary fans.

Wang Chao's three-point shooting is very good, which is no problem, but his flaws still exist.

Rushing to increase Wang Chao's playing time and shots will not make his scoring data better. On the contrary, it is very likely that he will be overexposed due to too many shots, which will lead to him being targeted on the court.

Wang Chao's technical characteristics are too simple. Once he is defended by his opponent, he will have no effect on the court.

At present, the Suns' record is improving rapidly and the morale of the team is high. There is no urgent need for a savior hero.

D'Antoni wants to give Wang Chao more room for growth and improvement. With Wang Chao's age, outstanding static talent and ability to shoot three-pointers, with a little training, he is likely to become the Suns' main outside player.
