NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 361 Wang Chao, who will reach 39 points at the age of 4

In this way, Antetokounmpo, who had just started to emerge and made a name for himself, was defeated by Wang Chao with a single game.

Indeed, with Antetokounmpo's current dominance on the field, it is very likely that he will replace Wang Chao and become No.1 in the new generation league in the future, but it is definitely not now.

The 35-year-old Wang Chao's combat effectiveness has not weakened in the slightest compared to a few years ago, and he even performed more easily on the field than before, with a feeling of returning to basics.

According to this state, no one knows how old Wang Chao will be before his state declines. With his offensive diversity, even if his physical fitness declines, he still has many ways to score. Maybe he can still have the league's first-class players by the age of 38. In that case, it means that at least after 2021, other players in the league will have the possibility of surpassing Wang Chao in immediate combat power.

But no matter what, at least after a few years, Wang Chao, the big devil who ruled the entire NBA era, will finally leave, whether it is the other stars of the league who have been suppressed by him for the entire era, or the newly rising stars of the league, Then you will breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, this is just the opinion of the outside media.

Wang Chao said that he has an upgraded version of steel and iron, let alone 38 years old, even when he is 40 years old, his state will not decline too much.

As for how old he can be, Wang Chao himself is not very clear. According to the power of the system talent, it may be far beyond his imagination. Maybe he will be 45 or even 50 years old, which is similar to the hidden world in martial arts novels. Just like an expert, it is not necessarily true that the older you are, the more NB you will become.

It's just that after Wang Chao has gone through all the non-championship teams in the league and broke most of the records, he probably has no intention of continuing to abuse other players in the NBA.

And recently, he has another record that has gradually attracted the attention of a large number of fans-career total points.

After the end of the regular season last season, Wang Chao's total career points reached 30485 points, becoming the eighth player in NBA history to break through the 3-point mark in his career.

The seven players above him, from high to low, are sky hook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, postman Karl Malone, black mamba Kobe Bryant, basketball god Michael Jordan, basketball Emperor Wilt Chamberlain, German chariot Dirk Nowitzki and LeBron James who also broke through the 3-point mark last season.

The 35-year-old Wang Chao is not the fastest player to achieve [-] points. This achievement belongs to James. James, who entered the league as a high school student, although his actual age is only half a year behind Anthony, who participated in the college draft , but after all, he is much younger than most players.

The top superstars in the league were younger than James when they entered the league, and only Kobe, McGrady, Garnett and other players, and these players are now far away from the league, it is impossible to have the opportunity to break James' history. Record.

Kevin Durant was in his early 19s when he entered the league, and he was quite close to James' age. His super scoring ability was once expected to break James' youngest scoring records, but unfortunately he was limited by his physical fitness and injuries Because of this, Durant also fell short, not to mention James, even Kobe has not surpassed many records, most of which are the third youngest.

Wang Chao was born in 1983. He was already 04 years old when he joined the league in 21, and throughout the 04-05 season, he was just a little-known bench substitute for the Suns, and he had no chance to play. A season wasted in vain, and it was not until the 05-06 season crossed here and activated the system that the road to counterattack was opened.

This led to a number of youngest records missing Wang Chao, no matter how strong his cheating is, there is no way.

No...that's not rigorous.

Although he is at a disadvantage in age, Wang Chao has scored surprisingly high points every season since the system was awakened, especially in the four seasons with the Rockets, where he scored more than 2600 points in almost every season.

This also made it only 3 seasons for Wang Chao to score 13 points, which is the fastest among the 3-point clubs. Moreover, if Wang Chao played soy sauce for a season in the 04-05 season and was sent to the Development League, it would hardly matter. Scoring rookie season removed, that's really only 12 seasons!
In terms of the speed of reaching 3 points, only Jordan and Chamberlain can approach Wang Chao. The reason why the total score of the two is not particularly high is mainly because of the short career. Jordan scored 32292 points in total. In 15 seasons, especially the two seasons when he retired at his peak, he lost at least 5000 points.

The same is true for Chamberlain. He scored 15 points in 31419 seasons. The most exaggerated one was the 1961-62 season. Chamberlain averaged 50 points per game and scored an exaggerated total of 4029 points in a single season. If Chamberlain’s scoring state can last for a few more years , The career is longer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has nothing to do, and even the 4-point record that James is thinking about has long been obtained by Chamberlain.

But it doesn't matter, Chamberlain can't get it, but Wang Chao has a great possibility to get it.

At the age of 35, he has already scored 3 points, and based on the calculation of 2500 points per season thereafter, in another four years, that is, the 21-22 season, his total career points will officially break through the 4-point mark, and with At the age of 39, he completed the pursuit of James' youngest record and became the youngest Mr. 4 points in the NBA!

Of course, that's an afterthought.

What fans are more concerned about now is that this season Wang Chao will surpass several historically ranked players in total points in his career.

At the end of last season, Wang Chao’s total score was fixed at 30485 points. Last season, he averaged 35.8 points per game, and he scored 2935 points throughout the season, which has no reference value. Based on an average of 30 points per game, it should be 2460 points. If you add a little more, it will be calculated based on 2500 points. Then after the end of this season, Wang Chao's total score will reach 32945, which will surpass Chamberlain, Nowitzki and Jordan one after another. The scoring situation determines the order of the two on the historical total score list.

It can be recognized that as long as James scores slightly lower this season and is overtaken by Wang Chao, at least before Wang Chao retires, it will be difficult for James to overtake Wang Chao in terms of scoring.

So far in the regular season, Wang Chao has not been particularly strong in scoring. In the 12 games so far, he has averaged 28.6 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists per game. His scoring has dropped significantly compared to last season, but his rebounds and assists are even higher. .

This is of course benefited from the current lineup of the Clippers.

The Magic Ball Clippers have too many offensive points. Among the starting players, there are Harris and Gallinari who are capable of averaging 20+ per game, Brogdon and Lopez who are averaging 15+ per game, and the bench There are Lu Wei with 20+ and Harrell with 16+.

Even for these players who should have made their mark during this period, because of the existence of Wang Chao, their personal statistics have been affected. At present, none of them has averaged more than 20 points per game, but all of them have scored in double figures. Harris, Gary Nali, Lu Wei and Harrell all scored 15+ or more!

Not to mention other players, just the addition of the average points per game of the above-mentioned players, plus Wang Chao's average of 28.6 points per game, the Clippers' average points per game has exceeded 110 points, plus the scores of a few substitute players , Then go straight to 120 points!
Therefore, it is actually not good to have too many players with strong scoring ability. The dispersion of shooting rights will affect everyone's data, including Wang Chao.

If the Clippers, like the Nuggets last season, have a serious lack of scoring points, it is possible for Wang Chao to average 35+ or even 40+ per game in the next season.

But for such a Clippers team, the offensive firepower is really strong.

On November 11, the Clippers flew to the home court of the Warriors, and the two teams staged a three-point battle at the Oracle Arena.

The hardware has been updated from Cousins ​​to Ingram's Warriors. This season really has a reborn feeling, especially Curry and Thompson have always remained healthy. They did not have a full camp of injuries in the 18-19 season as they did in the original time and space. , The poor state makes this Warriors team even better.

During the game, the two teams changed into the Death Five small lineup at the same time, and staged an extreme confrontation.

In the end, the Clippers had the last laugh.

The Warriors made 36 of 14 three-pointers throughout the game, and the 38.9% three-point shooting rate is already a high level.

But the Clippers seemed to be crazy. They made 49 three-pointers in the whole game and hit 18 goals. Although the 36.7% shooting rate was lower than that of the Warriors, they won with higher output.

More importantly, in this matchup of the dead five, the Clippers had an advantage in rebounding for the first time.

Wang Chao, who has swung from point guard to center, grabbed rebounds with Green, and the result is self-evident.

The departure of Cousins ​​did activate the Warriors' small-ball lineup, but it also exposed the Warriors' flaws that were not there before, such as unstable inside offense, weak penalty area defense and rebound protection.

In the whole game, Wang Chao scored 34 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists, including as many as 8 offensive rebounds, which was the direct reason for the Warriors' loss.

In the game, Wang Chao also tried to imitate Curry's tactics in the wireless pick-and-roll military training of the Rockets. Although he has used similar tactics before, without the support of magic ball tactics, the Warriors can play. Take the risk of double-teaming and circumventing strategies during the pick-and-roll to avoid Curry being singled out as a result of military training, but they can’t say that against the Clippers, because the Clippers can shoot three-pointers from five positions on the field And the hit rate is good, rashly double-teaming will make them pay a very heavy price.

Beat the Warriors' Clippers, followed by an away win over the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 11.

The current situation of the Spurs is not very good.

The basic set of Butler + Howard is doomed to the upper limit of the team, and after the end of last season, Ginobili retired and Tony Parker left the team, the Spurs' lineup was damaged again.

At the same time, the increase in Howard's age is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

In another time and space, after Howard and the Nets bought out in the 18-19 season, he joined the Wizards with a cheap contract of 2 million for two years, and after playing 1100 games for the Wizards, he was directly reimbursed for the season and missed all the next games.

In the 9 games played for the Wizards, Howard only contributed 12.8 points and 9.2 rebounds as a blue-collar data, and he is no longer the monster flying in the penalty area.

In this world, career trajectory has changed dramatically, and playing next to the famous coach Popovich has allowed Howard to continue the height and length of his career, but this does not mean that Howard has completed under Popovich. Evolved and developed new skills.

Warcraft is still the same Warcraft back then, but he has suffered fewer injuries, and the playing environment and tactics are more conducive to his performance.

These external help can't slow down Howard's decline. Even if he didn't get reimbursed after 9 games like in the Wizards, but this season before the game with the Clippers, he averaged only 13.4 points, 11 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. cover data.

But Butler has played almost the best performance of his career this season, averaging 26.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game so far, shooting 47% from the field.

This is very rare, because in the future, despite Butler's great reputation and being dubbed the toughest man in the league, in fact, his performance on the court can only be described as ordinary, with the highest scoring average of 23.9 points per game in the regular season of his career. , The highest scoring average in the playoffs was 27.4 points.

Butler is really strong, especially at critical moments, you can always trust Butler's performance.

But it is impossible to only look at the performance at the critical moment in a game. After all, there are many games that cannot reach the final critical moment at all, and the suspense has been lost during the game.

In this case, it is unfeasible to insist that the data cannot fully reflect the value of a player. After all, it includes players such as Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant, Curry, Antetokounmpo and even Leonard. There have been classic battles in which super performances turned the tide.

This is why when people mention Butler, they always feel that he is inferior to those top stars in the league.

In the Spurs coached by Popovich, Butler's scoring ability has also been improved. For the first time in his career, he averaged 26+ points per game. Although there were only more than ten games in the regular season, it is enough to prove Butler's ability.

It's just that the current Spurs, only Butler is struggling to support them, the overall strength is still a lot worse after all, currently only 7 wins and 6 losses, ranking around eighth in the Western Conference, not as good as Houston, which has been steady in the past few seasons Rocket.

In this game against the Clippers, the Spurs' proud defense was also torn to pieces.

There is no way, Howard, who has not yet lost weight, is too slow now. The Spurs' side-to-side play style meets the magic ball tactics of crazy three-point shots, just like a classic car that is about to fall apart and a Porsche 911 drag racing. , simply unable to parry.

125:107, the Spurs lost 18 points at home, and at the same time allowed the Clippers to start their winning streak again. The regular season wins also came to 13 wins and 1 loss, surpassing the Warriors and Bucks, and topped the league record list!
