NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 247 The rise of Durant and Wang Chong’s competition for the scoring title (page 12)

Wang Chong, who was born in 1984, has just celebrated his 25th birthday two months ago. At his age, Jordan was still struggling for his first career championship. It was not until the 28-year-old Jordan finally realized his dream three years later.

Coincidentally, O'Neal's first career championship was also at the age of 28.

So here’s the question. Wang Chong, who is just 25 years old, has already won three championships, two MVPs and two FMVPs. This year’s Bulls aim to defend the title and create a three-peat dynasty. If successful, Wang Chong will When you are 25 years old, you will have four crowns in your hands. By the time you are 28, you may have five crowns or even six crowns. It is not an exaggeration!

The reporter who asked this question was obviously disgusting the local Cleveland fans, because the pride of Cleveland is James, who is known as the Chosen Son.

James, who was the same rookie as Wang Chong in 03 and was the No. pick, was once considered a superstar destined to dominate the league.

But after six seasons of going around in circles, James has achieved nothing in terms of hard honors, let alone a championship, not even a regular season MVP. What can be a little consolation is that James has a few best teams. , plus All-Star AMVP.

But superstars generally don't bother to look at this kind of honor, and it is of no use at all. Judging a player's historical status is not based on who has more games, but more All-Stars.

O'Neal answered this question without fear of offending Cavaliers fans.

In fact, he was not happy during the two years he stayed with the Cavaliers. Many times when the team lost, he would always become the scapegoat and be criticized by the fans, which made O'Neal feel very unhappy.

After all, he is a great man who once had great glory. When the Cavaliers invited me here, it was also a big sedan. This good guy was called Xiao Tiantian when he was not here. Now the old man is better than the new man, and he is called Mrs. Niu. There is no such thing as burning bridges across rivers.

O'Neal is ready to retire at the end of this season. Of course he doesn't care what Cavaliers fans think of him. He will say whatever he wants.

What's going on? Wang Chong now has three crowns in hand, and is still chasing the fourth crown. You can't let me tell lies with my eyes open. I have to say that James is the player most likely to surpass me, right?

The issues between O'Neal and the Cavaliers are not discussed for the time being.

The Bulls continue their winning streak.

Throughout November, the Bulls had a record of 11 wins and 13 losses in 11 games. Including the 2 games in October, the total record was 10 wins and 2 losses. The record ranked first in the Eastern Conference and even the entire league, continuing their dominance in the previous two seasons.

In these 15 games, Wang Chong averaged 31.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, shooting 52% from the field and 41% from the three-point range. He grasped both team performance and personal data.

But the Eastern Conference's Player of the Month in November was not awarded to him as before.

The person who stole Wang Chong's Player of the Month award in November was Kevin Durant of the Celtics.

In the third season of his career, Durant's talent on the offensive end has finally been fully demonstrated.

In November, Durant averaged 11 points, 34 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 3.8%, leading the league in scoring for the new season.

Obviously, on the road to Wang Chong continuing to win the scoring title, another strong competitor has been added, and this competitor is also the prototype of Wang Chong's growth template.

The current Wang Chong's scoring ability is definitely better than that of Durant, who has not yet reached his peak. But the problem is that as the strongest scorer in the league today, Wang Chong also receives more targeted defenses in the game than Durant. Much, so in fact Wang Chong's advantage is not that obvious.

Wang Chong is still determined to win the scoring title. If he wants to surpass Jordan, Wang Chong must surpass Jordan in all aspects and fields.

Jordan's strongest point is undoubtedly his six championships and ten scoring titles, which are records that many players can't match.

Wang Chong has won four consecutive scoring titles so far. He is still 6 times away from tying Jordan. If he surpasses Jordan, it will be seven times, that is, seven seasons.

Even if Wang Chong does not lose the next scoring champion, he will not be able to achieve this achievement until he is 32 years old.

Considering that in the future, with the rise of top scorers such as Harden, coupled with Durant who will continue to get stronger, and the ball rights that will need to be distributed as Curry grows up in the team, the competition for the scoring champion will only become more intense. Wang Chong is Will not miss any opportunity to compete for the scoring title this season.

In Wang Chong's impression, this season was the first season in which Durant won the scoring title in his career, and his scoring average should be 30.1 points per game. He was also the only player to average more than 09 points per game in the 10-30 season.

But that was during the period of the Thunder. Players in the team, including Westbrook and Harden, had not yet grown up. Durant could still have a lot of ball rights and shot rights. In the following seasons, with the development of the Thunder's three young players, As he grew, Durant's shots dropped, and he only scored 28+ points for three consecutive seasons.

It was not until the 13-14 season, when Harden had left the team and Westbrook was reimbursed due to injury in the middle of the season, that Durant regained the only regular season MVP trophy in his career with an average of 32 points per game.

Now Durant is in the Celtics, and the team already has an All-Star Pierce. Although Pierce is now in his thirties, he is still a player who can stably contribute 20+ per game. As the boss of the team, it is impossible to give Durant unlimited firing rights no matter what.

Wang Chong feels that although Durant averaged 11 points per game in November, which was higher than him, it will still be difficult for Durant to average 34+ points per game throughout the season. After all, he is not the boss of the team yet. Even if he wants to compete with Wang Chong for the scoring title, he can't compete just because he wants to.

Basically, as long as Wang Chong can maintain his current scoring average of 32 points per game, there is a high probability that he will win the fifth scoring trophy in his career. Even if it doesn't work, he can wait until the middle of the season and work hard to increase his average points per game by one or two. It is not difficult for Wang Chong now.

It's just that in this way, the data of other Bulls players will definitely be affected. After all, the ball rights are only so small in a game, and Wang Chong takes up the majority, and the ball rights that other players can get will naturally become less.

In fact, there are already players in the Bulls who have been affected. To be precise, it should be affected by the fact that Curry took away a large amount of the ball after he came to the team.

In the first month of the regular season, Curry averaged 19 points per game. His scoring dropped slightly from the beginning, and his average number of shots per game stabilized at around 14.

The result is that Billups and Garnett's scoring data after the start of the new season dropped significantly compared with last season.

Garnett was the most affected.

Garnett averaged 18 points per game during the regular season last season, but after the start of this season, his scoring average dropped sharply, and he currently averages only 14.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.

The 33-year-old Garnett is certainly not in O'Neal's twilight state, but he is still an All-NBA player at his best.

But at this age, Garnett obviously has no interest in chasing personal data. Compared with playing better data, being able to achieve three consecutive championships has become his biggest wish at present.

Therefore, when Curry emerged and became the Bulls' second offensive core with efficient offensive scoring, Garnett took the initiative to reduce the number of his attacks and focused all his energy on the defensive end.
