NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 183: 49 points, All-Star single-game scoring record, winning second AMVP

Wang Chong's playing style is not only suitable for European league rules, but also very suitable for the All-Star stage.

It's not that Wang Chong's playing style is gorgeous and eye-catching. On the contrary, most of Wang Chong's offensive choices seem quite unpretentious, including Tracy McGrady's elegant and unrestrained pull-up three-pointers, while Wang Chong's use is also mediocre. Unsurprisingly, his height and wingspan really allow him to easily gain shooting space without having to maximize his dynamic talents such as jumping and staying in the air.

From this point of view, Wang Chong's playing is very ordinary to watch. There are few difficult fadeaway jumpers with beautiful postures like Kobe's, and there are no lightning-fast ball-holding breakthroughs and breakthroughs by Iverson, Wade, James and others. Explosive dunk action.

But you will find that under normal circumstances, Wang Chong can easily score 30+ points without knowing it.

The same is true on the all-star stage.

Wang Chong's offense is far less eye-catching than James, Kobe, Wade and others, but his mid-range shooting is as steady as an old dog's, making his scoring stable and long-lasting.

In the first quarter of the game, Wang Chong was quiet and scored 8 points on 6 of 15 shots. Then in the second quarter, he made 5 of 3 shots. Although there were fewer shots, all the points came from outside the three-point line, easily. Got it with 9 points.

At the end of halftime, Wang Chong's personal score had reached 24 points, but the audience was not impressed. Only when they saw the technical statistics on the big screen were they surprised to find that Wang Chong had already scored such a high score without knowing it. score.

In sharp contrast to Wang Chong is Kobe.

Kobe stole the show on the court. He performed various difficult fadeaway jumpers with picturesque movements and successfully hit the iron. Occasionally, he hit a few goals, which would arouse cheers and screams from the fans in the audience.

The Volute's shot is too difficult, it's really awesome. Who in the league can have this kind of staying in the air, this kind of superb fadeaway jumper technology?

But when looking at the technical statistics, Kobe made 17 of 5 shots and only scored 12 points.

With Kobe taking a lot of shots from the Western Conference All-Stars, the deficit never narrowed.

In the third quarter of the second half, the Eastern All-Stars fielded a more interesting lineup.

Point guard Billups, shooting guard Wade, small forward Wang Chong, power forward Bosh, center O'Neal.

James sat off the court with a very exciting expression. He couldn't help but turn his head frequently to look at the head coach on the side.

The head coach of this All-Star Eastern Conference is none other than Scott Skiles of the Bulls.

The Bulls have the best record in the league, so it is natural for Scott to be elected as the head coach of the All-Star Game.

Since he has coached the Eastern Conference All-Stars, Scott naturally wants to help his players. Wang Chong is in hot form and has a strong desire to attack. With a little arrangement, it will be easy to win the All-Star AMVP.

At this time, the score difference between the Eastern and Western teams is close to 20 points. There is no hope for the Western Conference to make a comeback. The only one who can threaten Wang Chong to win the AMVP is James. James was also very active in the first half of the game, scoring 17 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. He's about to run for a triple-double.

If James gets 30+ triple-double data, even if Wang Chong scores 40 points, it will still be difficult to decide who will win the AMVP.

But during the period when James was off the court, Scott fielded a lineup full of Wang Chong's interpersonal relationships. Billups was Wang Chong's teammate, and Wade and O'Neal were Wang Chong's former teammates. The relationship between Bosh and Wang Chong is average, but Bosh himself is a transparent person in the All-Star Game, so he can be ignored as an addition.

As soon as this lineup came on the scene, Wang Chong immediately became the center of the team, and the basketball was highly concentrated in Wang Chong's hands.

This allowed Wang Chong to score 5 points in a row in just 10 minutes of the third quarter, and his personal score directly exceeded 30+.

In the CCTV sports studio, Director Zhang's slightly excited voice sounded, explaining to the fans in front of the TV: "At 5 minutes and 27 seconds of the third quarter, Wang Chong received a pass from Billups and passed the sign. A mid-range jump shot and scored the 34th point of the game! At this pace, Wang Chong has a great chance of breaking the All-Star single-game scoring record set by Wilt Chamberlain, 42 points!"

"This record has been maintained for 45 years. In nearly half a century, countless superstars have been born, including the god of basketball Michael Jordan, but no one has broken this scoring record."

"Now, Wang Chong is only 8 points away from this record. There are about 18 minutes left before the end of the game. There is plenty of time. It depends on whether Wang Chong is willing to break this record."

Everyone knows that the All-Star single-game scoring record is not that difficult to break. After all, it is only 42 points, not 52 points. If many people are willing to take a lot of shots, it will be easy to break this scoring record.

But this is the All-Star Game after all, not a personal stage show. No matter how big the star is, he will not completely monopolize the ball on the court and take crazy shots. He still has to take care of the face of other stars and reciprocate. The All-Stars are not a game. Fighting and killing is just a matter of human nature.

At first, Wang Chong only planned to play soy sauce in the All-Star game. However, Kobe had nothing to do and insisted on causing trouble for him. As a result, he was stuck in this stall.

However, because Wang Chong's offensive efficiency is so high, although he has scored 34 points, he actually did not take many shots, at least much less than the opposite Kobe.

Now that the emotion has brewed up to this point, Wang Chong doesn't pretend to hide it. He wants to break Chamberlain's All-Star single-game scoring record in one go today.

On the opposite side, Kobe is obviously anxious. He really can't guard Wang Chong. The difference in height and wingspan between the two is really too big. Moreover, even though Kobe has been selected to the All-Defensive Team in recent years and is known as an integrated offense and defense, But what his defensive level is remains to be determined.

At least in more than half of Kobe's first defense periods, there were players with higher defensive efficiency than him at the guard position, but Kobe firmly held the position of the best first defense for nine years. The reasons are self-evident.

At least he didn't feel the defensive pressure caused by the anxious Kobe at all to Wang Chong.

Facing Kobe's defense, he hit two more mid-range shots. When Wang Chong was replaced, his personal score had reached 38 points.

Scott understood Wang Chong very well. He gave Wang Chong enough rest time and did not replace Wang Chong until the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter.

During this period, under the leadership of James, the Eastern All-Stars were attacked by the Western All-Stars with a wave of 16:4, and the point difference was narrowed to within single digits.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see James' slackness on the court, and his almost unrestrained behavior made many Wang Chong fans yell in anger.

"James, please be a human being! What happened? Seeing that you have no chance to win the All-Star MVP, you deliberately mess up and lose so that Wang Chong can't win it?"

"It's so insidious! I won't accept anyone else's acting skills, so I will accept yours!"

Wang Chong said, isn't this Lao Zhan's routine operation? Everyone sits down, it will take a few years for Lao Zhan's peak acting skills to be truly revealed, which is also known as the Eight-point Explanation of Military Power.

Even to this day, it is still difficult for me to understand why a superstar who can consistently contribute 25+ points all year round can only score 8 points in a game as critical as the finals, and why a player who is 1 meters tall and weighs 83. Even a small guard weighing 79kg can't play alone?

But it doesn't matter, even though the Eastern All-Stars were led by James and were almost reversed by the Western Conference to overtake the score.

But with 5 minutes left in the game, Scott replaced the best actor James, allowing Wang Chong to return to the field.

<divclass="contentadv">Wang Chong, who had rested for nearly 10 minutes, was full of energy, took over the ball directly, and started a pick-and-roll match with Billups.

The pick-and-roll between Wang Chong and Billups is the main offensive tactic for the Bulls, and its effect is undoubted. They scored consecutively to stabilize the situation.

With 2 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the game, Wang Chong successfully scored his 42nd point, officially tying Chamberlain's All-Star scoring record. But it wasn't over yet. In the next 2 minutes and 30 seconds, Wang Chong made another shot. A three-pointer, a long-range jump shot and a dunk under the basket.

Finally, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wang Chong's score was fixed at 49 points.

49分7篮板2助攻，投篮命中率67%，三分命中率48%。

This was Wang Chong's final answer in this All-Star Game.

The Eastern All-Stars defeated the Western All-Stars 141:134 to win the 2007 All-Star Game in Las Vegas.

There is no suspense. Wang Chong, who broke the All-Star single-game scoring record, successfully won the All-Star AMVP, winning this award for the second time in his career.

与之形成鲜明对比的，是对面26投10中，得到25分5篮板6助攻的科比。

The two were competing against each other in this All-Star Game, but because of this, people can clearly see the gap between the two.

When Wang Chong attacks, Kobe can't defend him. When Kobe switches to attack, Wang Chong's exaggerated height and wingspan can cause great interference to Kobe's offense.

It can only be said that as forward players, Wang Chong and Kobe Bryant's one-on-one duel itself is a bit bullying.

And Wang Chong really doesn't think Kobe is stronger than him now.

When they were both at their peak, Kobe's overall ability rating was 98, and Durant's was 97. Kobe was slightly better, but the extra points brought by Durant's height and wingspan were beyond the reach of Kobe.

The difference in static talent alone is at least 3 to 4 points in overall ability rating.

Although it is cruel, it is the truth.

Moreover, Kobe's numerical lead is mainly in terms of physical fitness, such as speed, agility, jumping and physical fitness. Wang Chong's Durant growth template card has higher values ​​​​almost all of which are shooting-related ability values.

This has resulted in Kobe having a healthier career and attendance rate among professional players, and these aspects are Durant's weaknesses.

In the first few seasons when Durant became famous, he successively broke Kobe's second-youngest scoring record in various fields, and was regarded as a super scorer who is expected to catch up with James' first-youngest scoring record.

However, as age increases and the accumulation of injuries, Durant's attendance rate begins to decline, and he is getting farther and farther away from catching up with Kobe's career total points. This can be regarded as the difference between the two.

It's just that Wang Chong and Kobe are both in their prime now. The comparison is not about career length, attendance rate, physical strength, injury resistance, etc. It is reasonable for Wang Chong to have the upper hand with his top static talent.

-

In this All-Star Game, Kobe was completely defeated, and Kobe was not the only player who was frustrated on the court.

James, who scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, looked a little sour when he saw Wang Chong holding the AMVP trophy.

James has already won the All-Star AMVP before, but like Kobe, he has not gained any personal honors in recent years, and has always been suppressed by Wang Chong. He has also won the AMVP, which proves from the side that he is better than the king. Chongqiang this thing.

However, although he had such an idea, he really couldn't compete with Wang Chong.

James is much more active on the court than Wang Chong. Various fast-break dunks are the most exciting scene on the All-Star stage. In comparison, Wang Chong's mediocre mid-range shots are nothing. Picture sense.

But Wang Chong's unpretentious mid-range shot saves energy and is very efficient. He scored 49 points without knowing it. Coupled with the favoritism of head coach Scott, it is surprising that James can compete with Wang Chong.

In any case, the All-Star Weekend is over, and the next highlight is back to the regular season.

After the All-Star Game, it is the final sprint stage of the NBA regular season. There are less than 30 regular season games left, which is the time for each playoff team to impact the rankings and control their own destiny.

For the Bulls, there is actually not much pressure at this stage. The Bulls' record is unparalleled in the Eastern Conference.

The Pistons sent away Billups in exchange for Ellis in January. Although Ellis, who was regarded as the team's new core, subsequently averaged 1+20 per game, the Pistons' winning rate was obviously It has been reduced. Facts have proved that there is still a huge gap between Ellis and Billups in terms of immediate combat ability.

The Heat's record continues to decline due to injuries and O'Neal's sluggish state.

The only one with a slightly better record in the entire Eastern Conference is the Cliff Cavaliers led by James, and the Cavaliers' winning rate is only maintained at just over 60%, ranking outside the sixth place in the Western Conference.

Even if the Bulls lose half of the remaining games, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to surpass the Bulls in terms of record, so it is a certainty that the Bulls will lock in the first place in the Eastern Conference.

But even so, Wang Chong did not slack off at all.

After all, in addition to the team's record, he also has systematic tasks.

This season his goal is to be first in the league record, not just first in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, the Bulls' biggest competitor is the Dallas Mavericks, who should have achieved a record of 67 wins and 15 losses in the regular season this season.

67 wins is not a small number. Looking at NBA history, this number of wins can also be ranked sixth. If the Warriors' 15 wins and 16 losses in the next 73-9 season are also included, it will be the seventh best record in history.

Of course, because of Wang Chong and the Bulls, the Mavericks lost a game that they should have won, and there is a high probability that they will not get 67 wins again. But judging from the current winning rate, it is at least 65 wins or more. The Bulls want to If you want to surpass the opponent in terms of record, you can't relax at all in the next game, especially when facing those fringe teams that want to finally make the playoffs, if you are not careful, you may capsize in the gutter.

Fortunately, Billups has become more and more comfortable playing with the Bulls, and his tacit understanding of pick-and-roll cooperation with Wang Chong has continued to increase, which has also made the Bulls' offense better and better.

2月份剩余的6场比赛，公牛队5胜1负，常规赛战绩来到51胜9负，继续领跑全联盟。
