NBA: James wants to team up with me

After the first round of games were over, the league announced the results of the 2015-16 season's best team and best defensive team.

There was no suspense as Wang Chong continued to be the first team and the first defense.

However, none of Wang Chong's teammates were selected for the best team this year.

Thompson, who averaged 19.7 points per game, was not selected for one of the six All-NBA selections among guards.

The two guards on the first team are Curry and Harden, and the two guards on the second team are Westbrook and Paul.

It was the third team's turn, and Lillard and Kyle Lowry were selected.

Thompson's performance was actually not bad, but it was a pity that there was no place for him in the best team.

However, in the best defensive team, Green was successfully selected for the second defense list, becoming the only Lakers player selected besides Wang Chong.

In fact, Green should have been selected to the second team and the best defensive team this season, but joining the Lakers has greatly reduced his tactical position, and currently only his defense can be mentioned.

In fact, in terms of defensive ability alone, Green is not necessarily worse than himself when he was selected as the first defensive player at the same time.

But the problem is that the defensive roster is also very tight this season, especially at the forward position.

The five players selected for the first defense are Paul, Bradley, Leonard, Wang Chong and Gobert.

Neither Wang Chong nor Leonard are players that Green can challenge at the forward position.

Even the forward position in the second defense is quite competitive. Green has fought his way out of the competition with Millsap, Paul George, James, Butler and others. Although he is only a second defense, he is very valuable.

But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that only Wang Chong from the Lakers was selected to the All-NBA Team this season. Compared with the Bulls' Curry and James who were both selected to the All-NBA First Team, and the Spurs' Leonard in the First Team and Aldridge in the Third Team, the Lakers, as a team with 60+ wins and a record close to these two teams, are indeed a bit shabby.

But there is really no way, because the Lakers' lineup this season is at this level.

拜湖人阵容和王崇自己场均38+10+7的超级豪华数据所赐，这个赛季他又是常规赛MVP榜榜首，连场均30+5+6的库日天都被稳压一头。

There is no way. Although Curry played well, he has an MVP-level superstar James by his side. Even if the team's record is better than the Lakers, Curry cannot add more points in terms of record.

As for the important reference standards for MVP, Wang Chong and Curry are both leading by a large margin. Curry's efficiency value is 31.5 and Wang Chong's is 32.1. Wang Chong is still better.

By the way, in addition to these two players, Durant ranks third in the league with an efficiency value of 28.2.

Whether it is data performance, advanced data comparison, or even team record, Wang Chong has an absolute advantage over Curry, so if nothing unexpected happens, Wang Chong will win the sixth regular season MVP trophy in his career, while Curry will miss the opportunity to win the unanimous MVP.

But at this time, Curry didn't care about the MVP issue. The entire Bulls team knew very well that this season should be their best chance to defeat Wang Chong and win the championship. Winning the championship is far more important to Curry than personal honors such as MVP.

On April 4, the first game of the second round of the Western Conference playoffs began.

The Lakers played host to their city rivals, the Clippers.

Although it is the common home court of the two teams, there is an obvious disparity in the proportion of fans on the scene. The field is almost completely covered by golden T-shirts representing the Lakers' home color. Only sporadic white T-shirts can be seen, which are the Clippers fans.

The huge gap in the number of fans at the scene made the momentum of the two teams completely different.

After the game started, the Lakers quickly established a score advantage.

The Lakers' current playing style has changed to a positional battle dominated by defense. The defensive system built around the three players Wang Chong, Green and Thompson has a very strong sense of oppression.

The Clippers' outside duo, Paul and Harden, both found it difficult facing the Lakers' defense.

At this time, Harden was still a little bit away from the Harden who would average 36 points per game two years later. Even the Rockets' Harden of the same period was eliminated in the first round by the Warriors with a gentleman sweep of 4:1. In the series, he averaged 26.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 41% shooting percentage, which were all lower than his regular season averages.

As for Paul...you can always trust Paul in the playoffs.

Although the Clippers made it to the finals last season, it was not because the Clippers were so strong, but because the Western Conference was in an awkward situation of being leaderless, which gave the Clippers the opportunity to enter the finals.

Now the Clippers are facing the Lakers, whose lineup is obviously flawed, and they are still no match for the Lakers led by Wang Chong.

In the first quarter, the Clippers' offensive rhythm was completely messed up, scoring only 17 points in a single quarter, and conceded 31 points to the Lakers, falling behind by 14 points at the start. In the second quarter, they finally regained their offensive rhythm and scored 28 points back to normal, but the Lakers also scored 28 points, so the Clippers were still 14 points behind at the end of the half.

In the third quarter of the second half, Wang Chong and Thompson worked hard at the same time, making a total of 12 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 24 points from three-pointers alone, with a score of 35:22 in a single quarter, expanding the score difference to 27 points.

The huge score difference made the fourth quarter irrelevant.

The Lakers won the first game of the series with an unmatched momentum, and then won two games in a row at lightning speed, directly changing the score to 3:0.

In the third game of the series, just as the Clippers worried, although they were playing at home, the ratio of Clippers fans to Lakers fans was only 2:8. The Clippers' home court was completely lost, and the only thing that could be regarded as a home advantage was the whistle.

On May 5, the fourth game of the series was still played at the Clippers' home court. This time, the Clippers made full use of their only home-court advantage, the home-court whistle.

Harden transformed into the Porcelain King of Jingdezhen, taking 22 free throws, making 19 of them, and scoring 44 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Paul was not to be outdone, making 15 of 13 free throws and scoring 31 points.

With the backcourt duo scoring a combined 75 points, the Clippers finally pulled one back, but were still trailing 1:3.

In the next game, after the floor turned into the Lakers' purple and gold color, the Clippers, who had lost some of the support of the whistle, no longer had any capital to compete with the Lakers and were quickly defeated like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

4: 1.

The Lakers eliminated the Clippers and officially advanced to the Western Conference Finals. On the other side, there was no suspense either. The Spurs also defeated the Thunder with a big score of 4:1 and met the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

The Eastern and Western Conference Finals are the Bulls vs. Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Lakers vs. Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

The outcome of the Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and the Lakers is still unknown. The Spurs are now visibly strong. While the old generation of GDP is still there, the new generation of the Big Three of Leonard, Aldridge and Gobert have also shown impressive strength.

In comparison, the Lakers not only have Kobe as a burden, but are also at an absolute disadvantage against the Spurs in the interior. The combination of Green + Jokic can't even compete with Aldridge + Gobert, let alone against the aging Duncan.

But the Lakers have Wang Chong after all. As long as Wang Chong can play, the Spurs will not dare to assume victory no matter how advantageous their lineup is.

The game between the Bulls and Celtics in the Eastern Conference is not that suspenseful.

Durant is indeed very powerful, but it is obviously wishful thinking for him to fight against the Bulls team of Curry and James at the same time.

I don’t know if this can be considered as tit-for-tat.

In the original time and space, Durant chose to join if he couldn't beat them, and teamed up with Curry to form a five-star Warriors. In the following two years, he beat James in various ways, causing James' strongest two years to be wasted in continuous defeats.

But in this era, James took the lead in embarking on Durant's "toughest road" and hooked up with Curry.

But James can't be happy too soon, because this is the 15-16 season, and Durant's contract will expire this summer. He can still take that "difficult road". Although there are not many "difficult roads" to choose from, there are still some.

The topic has gone too far, let’s get back to the topic.

Before the Eastern and Western Conference Finals began, the league announced the final winners of the season awards.

As expected, Wang Chong was elected the 15-16 regular season MVP with a very high number of votes, bringing his total number of career MVPs to 6, tying the historical scoring leader Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the player with the most MVPs in NBA history.

It can be predicted that after Wang Chong surpassed Jordan in the number of championships and FMVPs, he has extended his clutches to more ancient legendary superstars.

Given his age, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and becomes the most MVP in history.

And this is not the only record he will surpass.

Since entering the NBA in 2003, Wang Chong has played in the league for 13 seasons. Including the season that just ended, his total career score has reached 3 points, almost monopolizing the youngest scoring record in all stages.

Next, as long as Wang Chong averages 30 points per game and plays 70 games every season, he will only need three seasons to catch up with and surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record of 3 points as the historical scoring champion!

Although this honor later became worthless due to the denigration of some LeBron haters because James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time scoring champion, when Kobe's all-time scoring surpassed Jordan, Kobe fans were all overjoyed and wanted to announce it to the world.

Let's make an assumption here. If we delete the names of the top ten players in the total scoring list, and then take a player who has won a championship and FMVP, such as Billups and Paul Pierce, would anyone really think that the latter can surpass the former in terms of popularity, influence and even strength?

That's not necessarily true.

Of course, if the objects of comparison are top superstars who have multiple MVPs, as well as championships + FMVP honors, these data-level honors are just icing on the cake.

There is no chance that James will use the 411 Project to emulate Jordan in the future, but the 411 Project is indeed awesome. Any player in the league, even if he has never won a championship in his career, is enough to be ranked among the top superstars in history based on this achievement alone.

The most typical examples are Karl Malone and Charles Barkley, who have never won a championship in their lifetime. Neither of them has ever won a championship, and their career statistics are far from 411. However, both of them have regular season MVPs, which also gives them a certain degree of bonus in historical status.

Wang Chong has decided to become a monument in NBA history that will never be replicated, so naturally he has to significantly refresh various data records, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's historical total scoring record. He is also not going to give James the opportunity to catch up with him by working longer.

4 points is definitely unstable. After all, when Wang Chong traveled through, James had already scored 4 points.

But what if it is 4 points or even 5 points?

If he works a little harder and averages less than 30 points per game, Wang Chong estimates that he can get 40 points by the time he is 5 years old.

But isn't this a bit too much and too unforgiving? Is it possible that someone else in NBA history will break his record?

On May 2016, 5, the first game of the Western Conference Finals began.

The Lakers challenge the San Antonio Spurs away.

This really made Wang Chong feel a little uncomfortable, because he could not remember the last time he did not have the home advantage in the playoffs.

Basically, since Wang Chong joined the Bulls and developed the Bulls' lineup, the teams he has been in have always had the best record in the league, and the playoff opener has always been played at home.

It feels a bit weird that the opening game is suddenly held in San Antonio.

The Spurs sent out their strongest lineup.

Point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Ginobili, small forward Leonard, power forward Aldridge, center Gobert.

The Spurs' former superstar, spiritual totem, and "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan was sitting on the bench.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged, still Kobe, Thompson, Wang Chong, Green and Jokic.

As expected by the outside world, after the game started, the Spurs' inside line quickly suppressed the Lakers' inside line.

For Gobert, who learned the true teachings of Duncan during this period, it was not easy to control the first-year rookie Jokic.

Aldridge was a little overwhelmed by Green's extremely oppressive defense, but Spurs coach Popovich had already thought of a response in advance. Aldridge's offense was mainly to get the ball in the low post. Although he mainly shot facing the basket, Aldridge's back-to-the-basket skills were not bad. With a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 11 meters, it was difficult for Green to cause effective interference when he faced him with his back in the paint.

However, the Spurs, who have the advantage in the interior, are in a completely different situation on the outside.

Wang Chong was basically in a crushing situation against Leonard.

Although Leonard was selected as the best defensive player this season, he is better than Wang Chong, who relies more on height, wingspan and athletic ability, in terms of defensive skills alone.

But his defense is not enough against Wang Chong.

After the offense and defense were reversed, when it was Wang Chong's turn to defend Leonard, Leonard's rudimentary offensive ability was completely insignificant in front of Wang Chong.

With each side having its own advantages, the two teams fought evenly at the beginning, with the scores constantly rising alternately.
