NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 297 67 wins, 7 consecutive scoring breaks, did Wang Chao pull?

The third matchup between the Nets and the Cavaliers this season will take place on March 3 at the Nets' home court at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The Nets, which had lost all the previous two games, have a very strong desire to win this game. For the Cavaliers, if they can beat the Nets in all four games in the regular season, then theoretically they will be in the Eastern Conference playoffs. If the two teams meet in the finals, even without home court advantage, the Cavaliers will have an absolute psychological advantage.

Therefore, in this game, both sides played their best, and there was no truce.

The Nets started Wang Chao, Booker, Bogdanovic, Lopez, Jokic.

The Cavaliers started Irving, Shumpert, James, Gasol, Embiid.

As soon as the game started, Wang Chao showed a strong desire to attack, frequently performing pick-and-roll cooperation with Lopez and Jokic to hit the basket.

With Wang Chao's personal ability, he can score in defensive singles against James, but in order to win the game, he chose a simpler and more efficient way of scoring.

Wang Chao's sprinting with the ball was extremely lethal. In the first quarter alone, Embiid fouled twice, sending the Cavaliers' third scoring point off the court.

As a result, the Nets took the initiative on the field, taking a 33-point lead at 26:6 in the first quarter.

Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, the Nets have also made tactical adjustments for the Cavaliers.

James discovered that the person in charge of marking him on the defensive end was no longer Wang Chao, but Bogdanovic.

Bogdanovic, who is 2 meters tall, is not much different from James in height, but there is a huge difference in weight. He is only 03 kg, and he is a thinner type among forwards, let alone 98 kg. Meat tank James compared.

On the defensive end, the only thing Bogdanovic can do is to prevent James from pulling up and shooting. Once James breaks through with the ball, he can't prevent it anyway.

James was surprised at the beginning, why did the Nets arrange this way, don't they take themselves seriously?Then he immediately understood, because he didn't come to mark his own Wang Chao, and ran to defend the Cavaliers player in the same position as him, Kyrie Irving.

Wang Chao's main position in the Nets is the point guard, but on the defensive end, he usually defends the strongest player in the opponent's team, such as James of the Cavaliers, Durant of the Thunder, and Durant of the Warriors. Curry.

Although Irving has a strong offensive ability, he is only the second scoring point in the Cavaliers. This season's average of 19.2 points, 3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game is still a new low since his rookie season.

It's not that Irving can't average more than 20 points per game, but that the current lineup of the Cavaliers is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are many players with good offensive capabilities. Lower reps are a natural consequence.

Not to mention Irving, even James' data has been slightly affected. So far this season, he has averaged 25.3 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and his scoring is also the lowest since his rookie season.

Even if the data dropped slightly, no one dared to underestimate James, because he didn't become weaker, but distributed some of the ball to his teammates to make them better.

The same principle can also be applied to Irving. The decline in personal data does not mean that Irving's level has decreased. In fact, Irving has always been regarded as one of the biggest threats to the Cavaliers this season. In a stalemate, Irving can always use his strong personal offensive ability to help the team out of trouble.

In the first two games the Nets lost, Irving also performed extremely well, which directly caused the Nets to lose the game.

This duel was Wang Chao's first defensive strategy against the Cavaliers, killing Irving and leaving James in a state of isolation and helplessness.

No matter how strong Owen's personal ability is, there is no way to face Wang Chao, a monster who is taller and stronger than him, and whose speed is not inferior to him.

Irving's fancy dribbles and fake moves disappeared in front of Wang Chao's absolute physical advantage.

As for letting Bogdanovic defend James, he did not completely give up defending the opponent. On the surface, Bogdanovic went to defend James alone, but in fact Jokic inside is ready to step forward to assist at any time. Prepare for defense.

Even Jokic and Bogdanovic can't completely restrict James, but at least they can consume James to the maximum. As long as this can be done well, it is enough in Wang Chao's opinion.

The effect of one move is outstanding.

詹姆斯首节比赛火力全开，8投6中得到14分，但是欧文在王超的针对下，仅3投1中得到2分。

In the second quarter of the game, James, aware of Wang Chao's targeted strategy, began to attack with all his strength, as if declaring war on Wang Chao.

With full firepower, James made 13 crazy shots in the second quarter and hit 7 of them. His strong physique and super breakthrough ability smashed the Nets' defense line to pieces.

Bogdanovic was suddenly suspicious of life by James.

Both Jokic and Lopez also suffered multiple fouls.

第二节13投7中罚球4中3的詹姆斯砍下17分，半场狂砍31分9篮板7助攻。

But James' super personal scoring show did not allow the Cavaliers to regain the initiative in the second quarter.

He scores very well, but the Nets have better scores than him.

Wang Chao didn't exert much force in the first quarter, he just took a few symbolic shots and scored 6 points, leaving more opportunities for offensive scoring to his teammates, but as James continued to exert force in the second quarter, he also began to increase his offense End shot ratio.

James scored 17 points in the second quarter. Not to be outdone, Wang Chao made 10 of 7 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws and scored 19 points. At the end of the halftime, his personal score was 26 points, which was not much lower than James. And unlike James who relies heavily on ball-handling breakthroughs on the offensive end to create damage, most of Wang Chao's offense revolves around the outside line, but his teammates' pick-and-roll screens help to open up a little space to shoot, and the physical consumption is far less than James.

In the second half of the game, James began to realize that he couldn't win the game just by scoring points with Wang Chao.

When Irving was completely guarded by Wang Chao, the only helpers James could find were Embiid and Gasol on the inside.

In the second season of Embiid's career, he has already demonstrated quite outstanding strength and potential, but the Cavaliers are not the 76ers after all. Embiid, who lacks enough ball rights and core tactical status, is more powerful than the 76ers. Embiid is still lacking in ability.

More importantly, in the original 14-15 and 15-16 seasons, Embiid was reimbursed for the season due to injuries and was unable to play. He trained with the team and did not officially land in the NBA until the 16-17 season. Played the game, but Embiid participated in the team's training and tactical courses throughout the whole process. He learned a lot more than he did in the NCAA college. Coupled with the careful care of the trainer, nutritionist and team doctor, he landed in the NBA for the first time in the 16-17 season Embiid is already in full condition, showing a strong combat effectiveness.

And now Embiid, who has a different career trajectory, is healthier than the original self, but he is obviously lacking in experience and other aspects, and his non-core play style in the Cavaliers has somewhat affected his development.

Now Embiid's offensive skills are mostly off the ball, and his ability to independently hold the ball to attack is not outstanding.

This may be the disadvantage of staying with players who hold the ball and play nuclear players. It is not James who wastes his teammates, but players who also focus on offensive play with the ball. Few can compare with James in efficiency. Leaving the ball to James must handle it It's the easiest way to win.

The same principle can also be applied to Wang Chao. If the players around him need to hold the ball to play their best, they will be suppressed because they are on the same team as Wang Chao. For example, his current teammates Nikola Jokic.

Jokic of the Nuggets, especially in the next two consecutive regular season MVP periods, is the team's absolute ball-holding core. Although it does not have a high possession rate of the outside ball-holding core like James, it also needs a lot of ball possessions Only then can we display our true strength.

However, this season Jokic is still far from being the core of the ball in the future, so the impact is not obvious.

The topic returns to Embiid.

Just like Wang Chao's defense against Irving, the Nets also deployed a defensive strategy against Embiid. After more than half a year of training, Brook Lopez, whose defensive ability has begun to bear fruit, is responsible for defending Embiid.

If you want to completely correct the bad habits that Lopez developed in the early days of the Nets, it will take a long time to train him to become the defensive gate of the Bucks, but it is enough to defend Embiid in a targeted manner.

Embiid's offensive skills with the ball are not yet mature. He was frequently deflated by Lopez's defense and his offensive efficiency was not high. On the Nets side, Wang Chao still dominated the game in the third quarter.

In this case, the point difference between the two teams further widened, forcing James to take over the ball again.

The result was the third quarter. Both Wang Chao and James scored double-digit high points again. James scored 44 points in three quarters, while Wang Chao also scored 41 points.

The game almost became a personal scoring show between Wang Chao and James, and all other players on the field became supporting roles.

And this is also part of Wang Chao's plan.

Since the overall strength cannot be compared, then find a way to bring the Cavaliers to the same level as the Nets, and compete with the scoring ability and explosive power of superstars. In this regard, Wang Chao is not afraid of anyone now, let alone James. It was Jordan at his peak, Kobe, who was inferior to him in terms of scoring ability.

So does James, of course.

In the first three quarters, he was able to compete with Wang Chao, but as the game continued, the serious consumption of physical energy prevented James from continuously breaking through the frame like in the previous game, and his scoring efficiency plummeted.

This should have been a problem that James would often encounter in the later stages of the Lakers. The decline in physical fitness caused by aging made James unable to carry the team on his shoulders at the most critical moment of the game because of his physical fitness. superior.

Now is the 15-16 season. James, who was born in December 84, is only 12 years old and is still at the peak of his career. There was no physical problem at first.

However, his consumption in this game was far greater than expected. Not only did he take care of everything on the offensive end, but he also spent a lot of energy on the defensive end in order to contain Wang Chao as much as possible. He played for 33 minutes in just three quarters. On the opposite side, Wang Chao's playing time is almost the same, but his consumption is even greater.

After all, on the offensive end, Wang Chao mainly focuses on mid-range and long-range shooting to save energy. On the defensive end, defending Irving is also more labor-saving than defending his own James. Long-distance runner talent, physical fitness is far better than James.

In the fourth quarter of the game, James, who had physical problems, dropped his offensive efficiency, but Wang Chao became more and more courageous. Not only did he maintain his firepower outside the three-point line, but he also increased the number of breakthroughs with the ball, and frequently attacked the frame with the ball to create lethality. .

The Cavaliers' defense began to fail, collapsed across the board, and was taken away by a wave.

At 116:105, the Nets defeated the Cavaliers by 11 points at home and won their first victory against the Cavaliers this season.

"A duel of extreme personal heroism, Wang Chao vs. James, the collision of the two strongest superstars in the league today!"

Whether it is in the eyes of the fans or the media reporters, this is a wonderful game. The other players of the two teams are the foils in this game. Only Wang Chao and James are the protagonists.

詹姆斯整场比赛出战41分钟，28投19中，三分球7中3，罚球13中9，得到50分11篮板10助攻的大号三双，投篮命中率68%，三分命中率42%。

James' stats in this game are already quite exaggerated. Normally, a star has played to this level, and it should be a breeze to lead the team to victory.

But in this game, James met Wang Chao who was more exaggerated than him.

Wang Chao, who made 30 of 17 shots in the game, was slightly inferior to James in terms of shooting percentage, but his shooting percentage was also over 56%. More importantly, most of his offenses came from outside the three-point line.

He made 16 of 10 three-pointers and 14 of 12 free throws. Wang Chao scored 56 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists in the game. With the same triple-double data, Wang Chao's scoring explosiveness and endurance are obviously stronger than James.

Careful fans, if they carefully check the scoring details of the two, will find that James scored more efficiently in the first three quarters of the game, but his shooting percentage began to drop sharply in the fourth quarter, wasting several offensive opportunities, especially when the Nets played in the final quarter. The team shrinks the defensive line inside. When Lopez and Jokic are two big centers standing under the basket to protect the frame, the main scoring method is to break through with the ball. James is very uncomfortable being targeted.

The victory of such a duel between stars gave the Nets fans great confidence.

"It seems that the Nets have found a way to deal with the Cavaliers, which is to compete with the personal abilities of the core players. James is certainly one of the best basketball players in the world, with comprehensive skills and outstanding personal abilities, but compared with Wang Chao Slightly inferior."

"If the Nets can defeat the Cavaliers in the same way in the next game, then the outcome of the two teams' meeting in the playoffs may have to be re-judged and weighed."

"In this game, the performance of the other two top picks of the Cavaliers was disappointing. Under the defense of Wang Chao, Irving did not have the demeanor of a top scorer in the past. He only made 16 of 6 shots in the game and only scored 13 points. Embiid scored 12 Made 5 shots, scored 12 points and 9 rebounds."

"The Cavaliers are different from the Nets. The strength of the Nets is almost entirely based on Wang Chaochao's super personal ability, but the Cavaliers have one of the best lineups in the league. They have a superstar James who is second only to Wang Chao in the league. With two talented and talented young champions and a lot of powerful role players, if such a team can only be reduced to the personal ability of competing with the other top stars in the game against the Nets, how can it win?"

The loss of this game has made the outside world criticize the Cavaliers a lot. After all, most fans have great expectations for a team with the top three picks like the Cavaliers.

Back then, the Lakers gathered the top three picks, that is, Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and James Worthy, but won five NBA championships successively, ruling the NBA for an era.

Although the combination of James + Irving + Embiid's No. [-] picks cannot compare with the Lakers' No. [-] picks in terms of status and talent, they still have to win one or two championships, right?Otherwise, wouldn't James' decision to return to the Cavaliers be a joke?
The current league is really looking forward to the emergence of a native American star to break Wang Chao's monopoly on the NBA championship. If this person can't be James, Curry of the Western Warriors is actually possible.

If the loss of this game made the league see the unstable side of the Cavaliers, then a week later, the last game of the regular season between the Cavaliers and the Nets completely disappointed the Cavaliers fans.

On March 3, the Nets went to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers at home.

In this game, the Nets were at a disadvantage in the away game. The Cavaliers fans at home have great confidence in their team defeating their opponents at home to avenge their previous revenge.

In this game, the Cavaliers were defeated by the onslaught of the Nets. After only three quarters, they fell behind by more than 20 points, and finally lost the game humiliatingly with a score of 126:108.

This game is completely different from the previous game. If the last game was the ultimate performance of Wang Chao and James, then this game is the real match between the two teams.

For the Cavaliers, not only James is strong, but several other players performed very well. Once Irving changed the situation of being suppressed by Wang Chao in the last game, he frequently used pick-and-roll screens and fast-break opportunities to score 27 points, 4 rebounds and 8 rebounds. assists.

Embiid's performance is also outstanding. He made 5 of 3 shots from beyond the three-point line and 12 of 10 free throws.

The combination of the Cavaliers' three champions scored 85 points, and their shooting percentages were above 50%. The offensive efficiency is surprisingly high.

However, the offense of the Nets is even more exaggerated.

Wang Chao scored 24 points, 16 rebounds and 21 assists. For him, facing a strong opponent like the Cavaliers, he only scored 24 points in the entire game, which can explain the problem.

The Nets' shooting percentage from outside shooters today is really ridiculously high.

Booker made 19 of 13 shots and scored a team-high 31 points, hitting a career high in scoring. His outside shooter partner Bogdanovic made 8 of 5 three-pointers and scored 15 points.

Even Lopez, whose three-point shooting ability is still under development in the inside twin-tower combination, hit 3 three-pointers today, scoring 25 points in the game, and Jokic faced Embiid this time. , also performed extremely well, scoring 16 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, and almost got an average triple-double with Wang Chao.

The Nets scored 111 points from the five starters alone, which is higher than the entire Cavaliers team. Winning the game is naturally easy.

After this game, the Cavaliers fans are almost autistic.

Before this month, the Cavaliers fans who had maintained two consecutive victories for the Nets still vowed that although the Nets had a better record than the Cavaliers, if the two teams met in the playoffs, it would definitely be the Cavaliers who had the last laugh. The record in the game is not the only criterion for measuring the combat effectiveness of a team, nor is it that the first record in the regular season will definitely win the NBA championship.

But these two matches in March made Cavaliers fans involuntarily doubt, can they really beat the Nets in the playoffs?

After all, in these two games, the Cavaliers had no intention of releasing water at all. James played every game with full firepower and played for more than 40 minutes, but even so, they still did not win their opponents, especially in the last big score. The game is simply murderous.

In fact, Wang Chao was quite surprised by this result. He didn’t expect that several of his teammates actually performed exceptionally well in the game. If Bookjokic and others can continue to maintain this state in the subsequent playoffs, it will be nothing to win the championship. Difficulty.

However, Wang Chao has never been in the habit of counting on his teammates. Although he has gathered a group of good teammates around him during the past few years of winning the championship, the key to winning the championship is his performance.

The double kill of the Cavaliers in March boosted the morale of the Nets. After all, it was the Cavaliers, one of the biggest favorites to win the championship this season. After the game, the Nets simply lost two games, which did not have any impact on the Warriors' victory.

However, the Warriors still couldn't break the Bulls' record of 72 wins like in the original history.

The current lineup of the Warriors is indeed stronger than before, but the record of the regular season itself requires the right time, place and people, as well as a strong element of luck.

The Cousins ​​version of the Warriors in the 15-16 season is obviously slightly worse than the original Warriors in terms of luck.

During the regular season, Cousins, the main force inside, missed about 15 games due to injuries. Contest.

3月份的比赛全部结束时，勇士队战绩为66胜9负，理论上4月份最后剩余的7场比赛只要全部取得胜利，便可以达成73胜9负战绩，打破公牛与火箭保持的72胜记录。

But in April, the Warriors' opponents in the 4 games were quite strong, including the Celtics, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies and Spurs. games.

Even if it is as strong as the Warriors, it can't withstand such a high-intensity opponent taking turns to increase the intensity, and none of these teams actively release water to let the Warriors win, and even go all out to do everything possible to win.

This is also normal, but if there is a team with an outrageously high winning percentage in a season, it means that the other teams in that season are underdogs and have no ability to compete with their opponents at all.

No one wants to be the background board for the Warriors to break the historical record, which is the same as when the Rockets won 72 times.

The result is that in the last 7 games, the Warriors capsized in the gutter and lost 2 of them. In April, they only achieved 4 wins and 5 losses, with a total record of 2 wins and 71 losses, tying the best record in regular season history with 11 wins. 72 negative is only one step away.

The most annoying thing is to give the Warriors the last defeat, which caused them to lose the best chance in history with the Bulls and Rockets. It is not the Spurs or the Grizzlies, but the weakest opponent in these 7 games, Minnesota Timberwolves.

Timberwolves' record performance this season is not good. Because Love stayed in the team, the team was not completely bad, but it couldn't get rid of the fact that it was really bad. The league is at the bottom, and there is a big gap between being shortlisted for the playoffs.

However, this final victory made the Warriors disgusting enough, and it also made other teams in the league happy.

Regardless of whether it's 71 wins or 70 wins, it's over without breaking or tying the best record in history, at least it won't be mentioned often, so that all teams in the same period will be reduced to background boards.

This 71-win Warriors team is definitely stronger than the original 73-win Warriors team in terms of strength. After all, there is an extra All-Star center Cousins ​​in the lineup, which fills the biggest shortcoming of the Warriors, but sometimes fate is Such a lot of troubles does not necessarily mean that strong players will be able to get the best record in history. The health of the players, the state and feel of the opponent are all key reference factors.
-
The Nets' performance in April was still stable. After all 4 games in the regular season ended, the record was fixed at 82 wins and 67 losses, and even exceeded the task, winning one more game than Wang Chao's original promise of 15 wins.

The record of 67 wins and 15 losses is much bleak compared with the Western Warriors' 71 wins and 11 losses, but in any other period, it can basically secure the throne of the first record in the regular season.

It is unbelievable that such a record comes from a team that has just been formed. Apart from Wang Chao, only Brook Lopez is an All-Star player, and he was selected three years ago. He was selected as an All-Star, but it was all due to the excellent record of Wang Chao and the Nets.

"Incredible team."

This is the vocabulary used by the media to describe the Nets after the regular season.

It is indeed incredible, and at the same time it is incredible, it has once again confirmed Wang Chao's powerful dominance as the No.1 in NBA history.

The New York media collectively lost their voices after the regular season.

They can't open their eyes and talk nonsense, to belittle the strength of this lineup, which can only be regarded as an ordinary team with an excellent record, but let them praise how good the Nets are, and most of the media that support the Knicks can't say this. talk.

In fact, not all of them are die-hard fans of the Knicks. A large part of them chose to side with the Knicks without thinking because of Wang Chao’s wild words about winning 66 games in the regular season. After all, no one believed it. Wang Chao has been able to lead the Nets to achieve a record of 66 regular season wins.

Even if the naked reality is in front of them now, they are not willing to give in. This is what the so-called dead ducks are stubborn.

"What about a record of 67 wins in the regular season? The greatness of a team depends on whether it can win the championship. No matter how many wins in the regular season, if it can't do it in the playoffs, what kind of team is it?"

"When the Nets win the championship, let's talk about it again. Whether they can survive this season is hard to say for the Cavaliers and Warriors!"

Never try to wake a person who is pretending to be asleep, it will be futile.

Therefore, at the press conference after the last game of the regular season, Wang Chao said very calmly: "Now, our goal has been achieved. 67 wins in the regular season is considered an overfulfillment of the task. As for the subsequent playoffs, Let us wait and see!"

With the current combat effectiveness of the Nets and the development potential of the players in the team, even if there is no way to win the championship this season, it is bound to make a comeback next season. In two to three years, he will definitely be able to fulfill his promise to win the championship.
-
The regular season is officially over, and the finalists for the East and West playoffs are also clear.

The top eight teams on both sides are as follows.

西部：71胜11负金州勇士队，60胜22负圣安东尼奥马刺，53胜29负俄克拉荷马雷霆，51胜31负洛杉矶快船，44胜38负休斯敦火箭，42胜40负达拉斯小牛，41胜41负波特兰开拓者，40胜42负孟菲斯灰熊。

The 71-win Warriors have already said it before, and you can skip it. Compared with the original history, the Spurs lost 7 more games. This is not surprising, after all, the team lineup has changed drastically.

Leonard becoming Butler can be regarded as a replacement. After all, under the training of Wang Chao, Butler in this time and space has far surpassed Leonard in the original 15-16 season.

But Howard and Aldridge's problems are more serious.

After taking over Howard from the Lakers, the Spurs didn't have the cap space to pursue the Blazers' Aldridge last summer.

If it was the peak period, Howard could beat Aldridge by a few blocks. Even now, Howard's average of 18+12+2 per game this season is no worse than that of Aldridge, who chose to stay in the Trail Blazers and averaged 21+8 per game. .

But data is only one of the criteria for referring to personal ability after all, and it does not represent all. Howard's data is not bad, but his tactical value to the Spurs is far less than Aldridge. After all, the Spurs still have an old and strong Duncan, even if he is old-fashioned, can shoulder the team's inside defense for a certain period of time, and his functions completely overlap with Howard's.

Aldridge is different. He focuses on face-up offense and has good mid-range and long-range shooting ability. After getting Aldridge, Popovich built a dual-core tactic around him and Leonard, allowing the team The lineup and tactics are perfect, which is why it can still achieve an excellent record of 73 wins under the aura of the Warriors' 67 wins.

Howard can't do Aldridge's job. Even with him, the Spurs' inside defense is more solid, but it's just an improvement from the original 90-point inside defense to 95. The Spurs don't have Aldridge. Drop below 90.

This description is not an exaggeration at all. Aldridge, who has shooting ability, can not only face up to attack by himself, but also can pull to the outside to help his teammates occupy space and improve the team's overall offensive efficiency.

The gold content of inside players facing the frame in the small ball era is well known.

Howard couldn't do it, so the Spurs lost 7 more games than they should have, and only got 60 wins.

For other teams, two teams with 60+ wins in the West is a complete disaster, especially those Western teams that need to play against these two teams four times, what a miserable word Great?
In the past few years, the Western Conference has been known for its fierce competitiveness. For several consecutive seasons, the threshold for entering the playoffs is 50+ wins, and even a team that barely reaches 50 wins may be squeezed to the ninth position in the Western Conference. superior.

This year, the record in the West is obviously not so strong.

There are only four teams that have achieved 50 wins. The worst is the Grizzlies, which ranks eighth in the West. With a record of 40 wins and 42 losses, they can actually enter the playoffs. This is a common scene in the East. It is definitely a rare animal in the West. up.

Compared with the West, the East is relatively better. After all, there is only one team with 60+ wins.

入围东部季后赛的八支球队战绩从高到低依次为：67胜15负布鲁克林篮网，55胜27负克利夫兰骑士，52胜30负多伦多猛龙，46胜38负迈阿密热火，46胜38负亚特兰大老鹰同为46胜38负的波士顿凯尔特人，45胜37负夏洛特黄蜂，44胜38负印第安纳步行者。

The results of the Eastern and Western record rankings are also the list of the first round of the playoffs.

Four matchups in the West, Warriors vs Grizzlies, Spurs vs Trail Blazers, Thunder vs Mavericks, Clippers vs Rockets.

Four matchups in the East, Nets vs Pacers, Cavaliers vs Hornets, Raptors vs Celtics, Heat vs Eagles.

The first round of the playoffs will start on April 4, and before that, what fans are talking about is the season awards and the ranking results of the major data lists.

Congratulations, the list of NBA scoring champions in the regular season has finally changed.

Warriors star Stephen Curry won the scoring title for the first time in his career with an average of 30.1 points per game.

Ku Ritian is really ruthless this season. With Thompson, Cousins ​​and other main scorers in the team, he can actually score 30+ points as in the original time and space, and the number of shots has not increased significantly compared with the original. It can be seen that its efficiency is high.

The seven-time scoring champion Wang Chao, who is known as the most scoring player in NBA history, averaged "only" 28.2 points per game this season, tied for third in the league with Durant. Deng is even lower.

Wang Chao's failure to win the scoring title is really big news in the league. After all, in the past 7 years, Wang Chao has completely monopolized the honor of scoring title.

But in the first season of joining the Nets, he failed to complete eight consecutive scoring titles. People who don't know the ball and don't watch the ball may think that Wang Chao is pulling. After all, Wang Chao, who was born in 1983, is now Already 33 years old and in the final peak of a professional player's career, it is already very strong to still average 28 points per game at this age.

But if any fan who knows a little bit about football and Wang Chao knows that Wang Chao is old?Status slipped?What a joke!He just puts more energy on the offensive end to the defensive end.

As long as he is willing, averaging 30+ points per game can be easily achieved, but the Nets' lineup determines that the team needs his defensive and organizational skills more than offense.

这个赛季王超的整体数据为场均28.2分11.9篮板12.8助攻2.7抢断1.4封盖。

Consecutively won the assists and steals kings, and the three statistics of assists, steals, and blocks have all reached career highs!
Wang Chao's contribution on the defensive end this season is obvious to all. When the other four positions of the team lack defensive capabilities, he is the incarnation of the defensive gate, constantly assisting in defense and helping teammates wipe their asses.

The reason why the Nets were able to dominate the Eastern Conference with a record of 67 wins is due to Wang Chao's contribution on both offense and defense can account for more than 90% of the credit!
The dominance of this arena is simply frightening, and it is completely unimaginable. If James or Curry and Wang Chao are exchanged to lead this Nets team, what kind of heights they can lead this team to... Don't worry. It is said that it is the first place in the Eastern Conference with 67 wins, and it is considered a good performance to be shortlisted for the playoffs.

It is worth mentioning that the average of 12.8 assists per game is the highest average assists per game in a single season in the league since Jazz star John Stockton retired. Only Stockton with 91 assists overwhelmed Wang Chao.

It can be seen that although Wang Chao's scoring average is slightly lower than in previous seasons, the overall offense has not been affected, and it is even stronger with an average of 12.8 assists per game!

Thanks to Wang Chao's organization and connection, the other four starters of the Nets all scored in double figures. Gula Jokic also has Bojan Bogdanovic with 17.2 points, and even Joe Johnson with 14.6 points per game on the bench.

Six players in the team scored in double figures, which shows how strong the Nets' offensive firepower is. The regular season's 67 wins and 15 losses are well deserved!
