NBA: I am the god of basketball

Although Wang Chao is far ahead in the All-Star voting, the other players of the Nuggets did not receive ideal votes in the All-Star voting.

There is no way, who makes most of the Nuggets' players are just newcomers who have just started to emerge?
Although Gobert has ended his four-year rookie contract, in the past four years he has only been a bench player with limited playing time. Moreover, even though he has shown strong dominance on the defensive end this season, in fact his personal data is so far. So far, it has only 7.4 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks, which is definitely not very brilliant.

For the entire Nuggets, the only one who can rank a little higher in the voting is Derek Rose on the bench. After all, he was once the Windy City Rose. Rose was the All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference for two years. Because of his explosive playing style and the reputation of inheriting Joe's gang leader in the Bulls, he has gained many fans and fans. Even though it is already sunset, he still has a group of diehard fans.

It’s just that Rose is only a substitute player after all, and his average of 16+5 per game is not enough to allow him to regain his former glory. .6, the five guards in front of him from high to low are Stephen Curry, Manu Ginobili, James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Klay Thompson.

It can be seen that even Rose is not very likely to be shortlisted for the 18 All-Star. If he cannot be selected through voting, it is unlikely that he will enter through the All-Star substitute channel in the future.

It is worth mentioning that Manu Ginobili, a Spurs player who is over 40 years old, as a veteran of the Spurs, he was able to overwhelm Harden and rank second in the western guard voting list, second only to Curry. Many people were surprised.

You must know that Ginobili's performance this season is not particularly good. As a substitute sixth man like Rose, Ginobili averaged only 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

But everyone knows that this season may be the last season of the player who has worked hard for the Spurs for [-] seasons. Therefore, out of feelings, the number of fans who voted for Ginobili is quite large, even slightly ahead of the recent Harden, whose scoring output exploded, is jaw-dropping.

However, Harden is obviously a type of come-from-behind. In the first round of voting in December, the gap between him and Ginobili was still relatively obvious, but in the second round of voting in January, the gap between the two was very small. According to this The trend, when the third round or the final voting results are announced, it is very likely that Harden will overtake Ginobili.

This is mainly due to Harden's high-scoring high-scoring performance after entering January.

Just like what I said before, the battle between Wang Chao and Harden began to officially start as the schedule entered January. Wang Chao has already scored 1+ points in two games, and Harden is also not to be outdone. , and scored 50+ high scores in the next few games one after another, it seems that he really has a relationship with Wang Chao, and he will not give up an inch of ground.

Harden, who is fully fired, is really ruthless. In terms of scoring ability alone, he can indeed reach Wang Chao a little bit. Regardless of how high the percentage of free throws is in his scoring, being able to win foul free throws through his own offense and fake moves is a kind of Ability, otherwise, why are there few other players in the league who can make fouls like Harden like eating and drinking?

And Harden's super scoring ability is not only reflected in the fight against weak teams, just like Wang Chao, Harden can also score high scores against strong opponents.

On January 1, the Mavericks played against the Brooklyn Nets at home.

At this time, the Chinese translated name of the Mavericks has been officially changed to the Dallas Mavericks. With the new team name, the Mavericks and the Nets started a fierce battle at their home court.

Both teams are well-known offensive teams in the league, with strong offense and weak defense, so the game was a fierce battle from the first quarter.

After the four quarters, the two teams scored 131:131 and entered overtime. Then in overtime, the Nets narrowly won the game with a score of 14:11, taking the victory of the game.

Although the team lost the game, for the home fans of the Lone Ranger, this game was a feast for their eyes. The extreme offensive confrontation made people overwhelmed. It was exciting.

In this game, Harden made 34 of 16 shots and 19 of 5 three-pointers. Although his shooting percentage was a bit bad, he made an exaggerated 23 of 21 free throws. In the end, he scored 58 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. It is the main reason why the Lone Ranger can compete with the Nets, a team with a top lineup, to overtime.

In this game, Harden perfectly reproduced the 1v3 and 1v4 scenes that Wang Chao often performed on the court.

For the Nets, Durant scored 33 points, Paul had 18 points and 9 assists, Murray had 27 points, and Jokic had 22 points.

Known as the most scoring player in the league under Wang Chao, Durant actually scored worse than Harden in a direct duel, which really surprised many people.

But the same is scoring. Durant and Harden are obviously completely different. Durant's scoring is more reflected in efficiency and stability. Limited by physical fitness, Durant rarely has a high score or a few consecutive games. He scored a super high scoring performance in the game, but he can maintain a high scoring efficiency for a long time and provide stable scoring in each game.

Just like this game, even though he scored 33 points lower than Harden, Durant's shooting percentage was as high as 60%. If it weren't for the fact that he only made 4 of 3 free throws in the game, his score could be even higher.

In other words, if Harden loses 23 of 21 free throws, the score is actually not much different from Durant, and the shooting efficiency is far from the sky.

However, such a measurement method that excludes free throws and fast break points is itself a very brainless statement. No matter what kind of scoring method, being able to score is an effective offense. NBA officials admit that why a group of fans Don't they?

The Lone Ranger lost in the team lineup. Apart from Harden, there are only Harrison Barnes and Nowitzki, who is only one year younger than Ginobili.

Although the two scored 20 points in this game, it is obviously completely incomparable with the luxurious main lineup of the Nets.

Harden's battle can be regarded as a glorious defeat, and he continued his soaring battle with Wang Chao.

By the end of the game against the Nets, Harden had played 1 games in January, scoring 8+ points in two games, 50+ points in three games, and more than 40 points in the remaining three games. The average score is as high as 35 points per game, and his super scoring performance is jaw-dropping.

"Average of 1 points per game so far in January! Another historical super scorer is born. Harden will become the league's fourth phenomenal super scorer in the new century after Wang Chao, Jordan and Kobe!"

"Wang Chao vs. Harden, who will win this cosmic level battle?"

The media in the United States naturally spared no effort in all kinds of publicity and reports on this matchup, and it successfully aroused the enthusiastic attention of fans all over the country.

This is not surprising. The United States has finally produced a super scorer who can score against Wang Chao. This makes the American fans who have been suppressed by Wang Chao and Huaguo basketball for several years feel proud.

This is really not easy. The NBA has always been dominated by American stars from the past, whether it is Russell in ancient times, the black and white era of Magic Johnson and Bird Bird, or the Jordan Bulls dynasty. , and then during the three consecutive championships of the OK combination, the players who dominated the league and were crowned No. 1 in the league were all native American stars.

But the birth of Wang Chao brought the league into a stage where it was ruled by overseas players for ten years or even longer.

James, Durant, Curry, these stars who were placed high hopes by American fans and hoped to break Wang Chao's monopoly, were all disappointing without exception, especially Durant, not only could not beat Wang Chao, he even failed to beat Wang Chao. Captured by Wang Chao as a prisoner of war, he lay down with a crown on Wang Chao's thigh.

Now they have finally found another Harden who can compete with Wang Chao in the field of scoring. Naturally, it has attracted the attention of the whole people. They really hope that there will be a native American player who can beat Wang Chao head-on in the field of scoring.

With such massive support, Harden's popularity rose rapidly. In the third round of the All-Star voting, he directly surpassed Ginobili in one go, catching up with Western defender Curry in the number of votes.

And on the court, Harden's performance did not live up to the expectations of the fans. After scoring 58 points in a single game, Harden scored 37 points, 48 ​​points, and 40 points in the following games.

On January 1th, in the team's home game against the Toronto Raptors, Harden ushered in an explosion again, making 25 of 25 free throws, scoring 22 points, 61 rebounds and 15 assists, leading the Mavericks to a 4-point victory over the No. Raptors.

With the help of 61 points in this single game, Harden once again surpassed Wang Chao in terms of scoring average, and returned to the top of the scoring list with an advantage of 0.2 points.

The All-Millions fans rejoiced, cheering for Harden's shocking scoring performance in January, because Harden really did it.

"In this soaring scoring battle, Harden has already taken the initiative. Although Wang Chao showed a scoring ability that is not inferior to Harden at the beginning of January, and he also scored 1+ points in a row, but then his scoring average began to decline. The decline, only 50+ points in several consecutive games, it may be a bit exaggerated to describe 30+ points, but compared with Harden's performance, it is indeed much inferior."

"This is also normal. Harden is only 29 years old, but Wang Chao is about to turn 35. The age gap makes the two people have a gap in physical fitness. It is difficult to escape the shackles of age, and the era belonging to Wang Chao will eventually come to an end."

Similar related remarks began to increase gradually, all saying that Wang Chao is not at his peak, he is about to grow old, and the league will enter a new era.

Those who didn't know, thought that Wang Chao had already been pulled, and his personal data was declining rapidly.

But in fact, looking at the statistics, Wang Chao has averaged 34.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game so far this season...

The scoring list ranks second, only 34.7 points lower than the first Harden's 0.2 points per game.

The assist list ranks second, second only to Westbrook who is still on the way to average a triple-double project.

Is this fucking old?Are you kidding me?
There are only two players in the entire league who averaged more than 30 points per game, and they both scored as high as 34 points. The leader in scoring is now No. 3, and Anthony Davis, who averages 28 points per game, has as many as 6 points.

But many media can't control so much anymore. It's hard to come out with a star who can compare with Wang Chao a little bit. If you don't seize the opportunity to tout it well, when will American basketball really raise its head?
In fact, they also know that there is a very important factor for Wang Chao's average score per game to be overtaken by Harden, that is, the Nuggets' combat effectiveness is too strong. After the strike, double-digit or even more scores have been established, causing the game to enter garbage time early.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Chao disdains to continue to score points during garbage time, which is not interesting.

In January's games, most of the time he played in the early 1s, which was completely different from Harden.

For Harden, the average playing time in January is close to 1 minutes. Due to the problem of the Lone Ranger lineup, many games are very anxious. It takes until the last minute to decide the winner. More opportunities to score, this can be seen from the average number of shots per game.

Harden averaged close to 1 shots per game in January, and although Wang Chao averaged a lot of shots per game, 30 shots per game was quite different from Harden's.

However, these detailed data will not be listed by the media. They want to create momentum for Harden, not to prove that although Harden is slightly better than Wang Chao in terms of scoring data, the two still have the same scoring efficiency. Not a small gap.

But this kind of thing cannot be hidden from the real fans. Many fans are dissatisfied with the media's deliberate suppression of Wang Chao, criticizing the media's false reports on the Internet, and listing Wang Chao and Harden's performance since January. Explain, to prove that Wang Chao is stronger than Harden by more than 1:01 points.

As for Wang Chao, he also wants to have a duel with Harden in January.

At the beginning of January, Wang Chao wanted to compete directly with Harden.

But after playing a few games, Wang Chao realized that even Harden couldn't match his current scoring ability and explosive power.

So Wang Chao began to change his tactical strategy, and the scoring competition still had to be carried out, but Wang Chao planned to change the game.

It's like a 20-meter race, let the opponent run a distance of 50 meters and [-] meters, and then he starts to catch up, which can be regarded as adding a little difficulty to the game.

Now, the January schedule has come to an end, and Wang Chao is also planning to close the net!
