NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 204 The end of the regular season, averaged 40+ per game and then won the scoring champion

The final game for the Rockets was on April 4, at home against the New Orleans Hornets.

The Hornets have the second-worst record in the league this season, second only to the Charlotte Bobcats, whose winning percentage is just over 10%.

And if there is no accident, the Hornets will rely on the second-to-last record to win the 2012 No. 12 pick and sign the [-]-year No. [-] pick, thick eyebrow brother Anthony Davis.

Facing the Hornets, who were obsessed with trying to get the worst of it to the end, the Rockets directly arranged a truce for Dayao at their home court. Originally, head coach McHale wanted Wang Chao to take a rest. If the opponent was the Hornets, even if the dual-core If they are not on the court, the opponent will also try their best to lose the game "unwillingly" through superb acting skills.

Even if it is [-] steps back, the Hornets won this last game, and there is no problem for the Rockets.

Before this game, the Rockets had a record of 51 wins and 14 losses, and below him were the Bulls and Spurs with 49 wins.

Even if the two teams won the last game, they won only 50 wins, and there is no way to surpass the Rockets in record.

It’s also interesting to say that the Rockets have sprung up under the leadership of Wang Chao and won nearly 20 games more than the original history. However, the records of the Bulls and Spurs have not been affected by this, and they can still win 50 games in the regular season.

However, this is also related to the relationship between the Rockets and the two teams. After all, the two sides only play a few times a season, and the degree of impact will not be particularly large.

Wang Chao did not choose to truce in the last game, because there was no need for that, after all, he was not tired at all.

So under the leadership of Wang Chao, the Rockets defeated the New Orleans Hornets 99:84 at home, ending the last game of the regular season.

So far, the Rockets' record is fixed at 52 wins and 14 losses, with a winning rate of 78.8%. If it is viewed according to the 82-game regular season system, the record will be 65 wins and 17 losses.

Of course, the record cannot be calculated in this way, but even so, it can be seen that the Rockets' strength in the regular season... To be precise, it should be how exaggerated Wang Chao's dominance in the regular season is.

During the entire regular season of the Rockets, only three players in the team scored in double figures.

The other players averaged only single digits per game.

But under such circumstances, the Rockets averaged 107 points per game this season, ranking first in the league!

This is all due to Wang Chao alone.

66场比赛全勤出战，场均出场43分钟，可以贡献40.7分8.3篮板8.7助攻，此外还有2.1抢断。

Data performance is rare in the history of the league.

Wang Chao has created many incredible records this season.

Among the 40.7 points per game, 44% of the points came from three-pointers.

Throughout the season, he scored 401 three-pointers in a crazy way, breaking the record for the total number of three-pointers made by him in a single season. What is even more frightening is that these are all made by Wang Chao in 66 games By the way, an average of 6 three-pointers per game.

If this efficiency is followed, the regular season will be extended to a normal 82 games, and the record for three-pointers in a single season will become a terrifying 498!With a little effort, reaching 500+ is not a dream!
Wang Chao's three-pointers are very strong, almost to the point of monopoly. His scoring efficiency and lethality are far more exaggerated than the classic shooters in people's traditional cognition, such as Ray Allen and Reggie Miller. The existence that can kill the opponent alive.

Because of Wang Chao, other teams in the league have begun to pay more and more attention to the development of three-point shooting tactics, but they can really achieve like Wang Chao, who averaged 6 three-pointers per game and at the same time, no matter how much pressure on the defensive end , The shooting rate can be stably maintained at close to 50% of the players who can't find a second one.

The No.2 player on the three-point list this season is Ryan Anderson. During this period, Anderson, who should have been in the Orlando Magic, went around and joined the New Orleans Hornets in advance because of the butterfly effect caused by Wang Chao. A team that is not doing well can start with peace of mind.

But even so, he only made 182 three-pointers throughout the season. Adding his three-pointers to Jason Terry, who ranks third, there is no three-pointer made by Wang Chao alone. There are many goals, which shows what kind of concept this is.

Of course, Wang Chao's monopoly in the field of three-pointers is mainly because another king of three-pointers is still sinking at this time.

The 11-12 season was not friendly to Stephen Curry.

The dense schedule and continuous injury troubles made him only play more than 20 games.

As a player who joined the league in the 09-10 season, Curry's career in three seasons was not very successful, but next, Curry is about to come to the end of his hardships.

After 2012, Curry will always maintain a relatively healthy state in the next few seasons, and fully utilize his three-pointer advantage, leading the Warriors and the entire league to stride towards the small ball era!
Of course, Curry's strength is bound to be brought into play in the future, but the person who leads the trend of the times may no longer be him, but Wang Chao.

With 52 wins and 14 losses in the regular season, the Rockets successfully ended the regular season with the league's first record.

战绩榜上，西部这边火箭队52胜14负排名第一，马刺队50胜16负屈居第二，接着往下依次是45胜21负的俄克拉荷马雷霆，40胜26负的洛杉矶湖人，40胜26负孟菲斯灰熊，38胜28负洛杉矶快船，36胜30负丹佛掘金，34胜32负达拉斯小牛。

The 33th and [-]th teams in the Western Conference are the [-]-win Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns. Both teams are only one game away from the eighth-ranked Mavericks in the Western Conference, but they are only a little short. It has long been a very common phenomenon in the west.

The top eight rankings in the Eastern Conference are the Bulls with 50 wins, the Heat with 45 wins, the Pacers with 41 wins, the Celtics with 38 wins, the Eagles with 38 wins, the Magic with 36 wins, the Knicks with 34 wins and the Philadelphia 33ers with 76 wins.

The defending champion ended up with a record of 36 wins and 30 losses, which is surprising.

Facts have proved that even if Martin and Lewis are tied together, they are no match for Wang Chao.

Without Wang Chao, and Jamal Crawford was also poached, the Magic's offensive capabilities were severely lacking during the regular season. After turning around, Turkoglu is no longer the talented Turkish magician he was a few years ago.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Howard, who was in excellent physical fitness, was affected in the shrinking season. In April, he had to undergo surgery due to a herniated lumbar disc, and he was reimbursed for the season.

How competitive would the Magic be without Howard during the playoffs?The Magic are done.

In fact, after the All-Star break, the Magic has fallen into turmoil. The team once fell into chaos because Howard hesitated to implement the player option. Everyone is in danger. The poor record of the team has made Howard feel bad. meaning.

In order to stabilize the army and hit the championship before the trade deadline, Howard officially announced the implementation of the player option after some entanglement, and will continue to play for Orlando next season.

But all of this has no meaning with Howard's reimbursement for the season. According to the historical development process, it may eventually evolve into Howard switching to the Lakers next season to form Los Angeles F4.

I don't know if Howard at this time, looking back at the hardships and hardships of this season, misses the time when he fought side by side with Wang Chao.

Now Wang Chao is flourishing in the Rockets, playing phenomenal performances, and making the Rockets from being unfavorable at the beginning of the season to become one of the favorites to win the championship.

If Wang Chao is still here at this time, I am afraid that the biggest favorite to win the championship is still the Orlando Magic, right? ——
With an average of 40.7 points per game, Wang Chao has become the scoring leader in the 11-12 season without any suspense, and is far ahead of Kevin Durant, who ranks second in the scoring list with an average of 31.2 points per game.

The difference of 9.5 points is the No. 2 point difference in the scoring list with the largest difference since the merger of the NBA. . Wilkins is only 86 points behind.

Of course, the most exaggerated one is Chamberlain Zhang Dashuai.

In the 1961-62 season, Chamberlain scored an exaggerated 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game. His scoring average was 38.3 points higher than Elkin Baylor, who ranked second with an average of 12.1 points per game. The era, the difference in strength between players is so different that it is possible to play that kind of exaggerated performance.

Howard regained the title of rebounding leader from Kevin Love with an average of 14.5 rebounds per game, but in the block list, Howard, who averaged 2.1 blocks per game, can only be ranked No.3, and was averaged 3.7 per game. Ibaka, who blocked the second time, was far behind.

This season Howard's defensive efficiency has declined significantly. The fatigue and injury burden brought by the shrinking season has had a great impact on Howard. If there is no accident, Howard will be in the selection of the best defensive player in this session. Although his defensive ability is still top-notch, the poor record performance of the Magic and the rise of other high-quality interior defensive players, such as Joakim Noah, Marc Gasol, Jr. Jordan, etc. Howard's dominance in interior defense has declined in disguise.

Just like the original historical process, the short era belonging to Howard has gradually faded away, but with three NBA championships, Howard is much better than the original historical situation anyway.

In the Rockets, apart from Wang Chao, who averaged 40.7 points per game, the other two players who scored in double figures were Dayao with 17.1 points and 8.2 rebounds, and Leonard with 11.2 points and 3.7 rebounds.

At the beginning of April, Dayao averaged only 4 points per game, but in more than a dozen games in April, Dayao's playing time also increased slightly inadvertently.

Protection belongs to protection. The purpose of Wang Chao's careful protection of Dayao is to allow him to have enough spare energy to cope with the playoffs, not to really offer Dayao up like a god.

Therefore, in the game in April, Dayao's shots increased, which can be regarded as an early warm-up for the playoffs. As a result, before the end of the season, Dayao raised his average data to 4 points and 17.1 rebounds per game.

With an average playing time of only about 28.7 minutes per game, being able to get 17+8 data is already a very good level. If you compare it horizontally, Howard, who averaged 38 minutes per game and scored 20.6 points and 14.5 rebounds per game, averaged Bynum, who played 35.2 minutes and scored 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds, is not much different from Dayao in terms of efficiency.

And these two are the two representative figures who have played the best among the inside players in the league this season.

As for Leonard, the average of 11.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game also gradually improved after the All-Star season became more intensive and intense.

After a whole season of training, Leonard has gradually grown from a rookie who doesn't know anything to become the backbone of the Rockets' perimeter defense.

The scoring average of 11.2 points per game is actually not important at all. Leonard's top defensive ability on the perimeter is the main reason why he is firmly established as the Rockets' starting small forward.

After entering the regular season, Wang Chao will still occasionally use sparring potions to provide bonuses for the Rockets players.

Unfortunately, less than half of the Rockets currently have a relationship with Wang Chao above 60, including Dayao and four rookies.

But this can’t be helped, even if Wang Chao uses the local tyrant’s style of play that he learned from Leonard and others, he often treats the whole team to dinner, and after scoring more than 50 points in a single game, he will give his teammates some expensive watches and the like Gifts, but the relationship value of some players just can't improve.

There is no other way, Wang Chao has never expected to be liked by everyone.

During the four months of the regular season, the one who received the effect of the sparring potion and made the most intuitive progress was the talented Leonard.

The bonus effect of training, coupled with daily games against opponents of various styles, has allowed Leonard to grow very fast. At least in Wang Chao's view, Leonard's ability to defend on the outside has a faint future. A feeling of death entanglement.

Now whenever the Rockets encounter a team with a player with outstanding outside offensive ability, Leonard will arrange for Leonard to mark the opponent all the way, and every time he will gain something.

While the defensive end has made great progress, Leonard's main style of play on the offensive end is still running off the ball and cutting in and fixed-point three-point shooting.

Even if he didn't join the Rockets and receive special training from Wang Chao, Leonard initially took this path in the Spurs.

In the 11-12 season, the Spurs version of Leonard averaged 7.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. He is an important rotation player for the Spurs and has a 37.6% shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line.

And now the Rockets' enhanced version of Leonard has increased his scoring average to 11.2 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage has also reached 38.6% under the Rockets' large number of three-pointers and magic ball tactics.

With Leonard's progress rate, next season will definitely become Wang Chao's right-hand man and the strongest right-hand man.

Except for Leonard, who is making rapid progress, the other three rookies have also grown to varying degrees.

Chandler Parsons averaged 8.6 points and 3.1 rebounds in his rookie season.

This data is actually slightly worse than the original Parsons. The original Parsons became the Rockets' starting small forward in his rookie season. He played in 63 of 57 games and averaged 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

It is precisely because of this performance that Parsons was selected to the best rookie second team and became the main striker trained by the Rockets next season. He got a lot of playing time and ball rights, and his statistics also increased, increasing to an average of 15.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. 3.5 assists.

And because of Wang Chao, Parsons has a strong competitor Leonard in the Rockets, and it is logical that he can only become Leonard's substitute, and his playing time is much less than before.

Although the statistics are not as good as before, Parsons's strength is definitely stronger than that of him in the same period. After all, with the blessing of the training potion, his training effect is much better.

More importantly, the existence of Leonard forced Parsons to work hard in training so as not to be left too far behind by the opponent. Even on the field, Parsons played extraordinarily proactively. , It is undeniable that this kind of competitive relationship can indeed further promote the progress and efforts of players, but the premise is that there must be healthy competition.
