NBA: I am the god of basketball

If the Nuggets can regain the initiative, they must mention the team's bench lineup.

As we all know, the Warriors' bench lineup has always been very luxurious, especially during the 17-18 season, with former All-Star player Iguodala, CIC King Livingston, and players such as Nick Young, David West , Pachulia, McGee and other players, looking at the NBA league, they are all quite high-level configurations.

In the time and space where Wang Chao is, due to Cousins ​​being selected by the Warriors and a series of other butterfly effects, the Warriors' current bench lineup has changed a lot, but Iguodala, Livingston, David .West, Pachulia and others are still in the team, so their strength is not considered weak.

But compared with the Nuggets' bench, it somewhat pales in comparison.

There are not many players on the Nuggets bench that can be used. It can even be said that there are only two people, one is Rose, and the other is first-year rookie Kyle Kuzma.

Although there is a huge disadvantage in terms of available numbers, the performance of these two is enough to match the combined level of all the Warriors' benches.

First of all, Rose, who joined the Cavaliers in the 17-18 season, did not have any playing time and performance opportunities. In the Nuggets, he also had the training bonus effect provided by Wang Chao's training potion to ensure his status. Before that, he scored 50 in a single game. The performance of 18 points is enough to prove that his level of strength is not much different from the original 19-18 season in the Timberwolves, which averaged 3 points, 4 rebounds and [-] assists per game.

As for Kuzma, he showed great ability as soon as he entered the league. He averaged 16+6 per game in his rookie season, and went further in the second season, growing into an excellent potential with an average of 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. players.

Compared with these two, the Warriors' bench seems to be star-studded with many famous and powerful players, but in fact they are all veterans who have passed their thirties and their competitive status has declined rapidly.

Including Iguodala, Park Kan is often half-ly lying in the coffin, only waiting for the playoffs to jump out and cheat.

Therefore, under the activeness of Rose and Kuzma, the Nuggets successfully caught up and overtook the point difference during the bench period, forcing the Warriors to call a timeout adjustment and replace the main players in advance.

It's just that at the same time as the Warriors adjusted their lineup, Wang Chao, who was replaced because of two iron elbows to avoid the edge, also appeared on the stage.

When Wang Chao reappeared, he immediately felt the difference.

In terms of defense against him, the Warriors have a lot of rules and regulations. To be precise, Green, who is still in charge of marking Wang Chao, is already a little timid. When defending Wang Chao, his position is quite conservative, especially for the chest. The guard was extra careful, for fear that Wang Chao would raise an elbow in the attack and give him a hard blow.

Green really guessed right, Wang Chao really planned this way, if Green continues to play those off-the-box tricks with him recklessly, he doesn't mind reenacting the famous scene of Artest elbowing Harden back then, and let Green Enjoy some baby sleep too.

Of course, if Wang Chao wants to do this, he will definitely not be as blatant as Artest, who looks like it's not normal to kill someone with a ball.

Artest paid the price of a 7-game suspension for his elbow Harden. He is a role player on the team, and it doesn't matter how many games he is suspended. Wang Chao is the only core of the Nuggets. Without him , At best, it is just an ordinary team. It may be able to barely qualify for the Western Conference playoffs around Gobert's defensive system, but that's all.

Therefore, if Wang Chao and Green forcibly exchanged one, it would definitely be a bloody and unprofitable business. Now that Green has shown that he is intimidating on the field, Wang Chao will naturally not continue to kill them all.

Only in this way, the strength of the Warriors' defense against Wang Chao was even weaker. Wang Chao, who reappeared, completely took charge of the game, scoring 8 points in a row with sudden shots, and led the Nuggets to a wave of 12:2 attacks. , The point difference will be opened to more than double digits!

When all the main players of the Warriors re-appeared, the situation on the field was out of control. Even if the Splash Brothers fired again and again from outside the three-point line, Cousins ​​continued to use his offensive ability to score Gobert alone, and the Warriors failed. The score is approaching again. After all, the Nuggets are not vegetarians, especially Wang Chao. The desire to attack in this game is quite strong, and it is really a good time.

In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Warriors with a score of 124:116 in the away game. After defeating the Spurs in the previous game, they defeated the Warriors and completed the achievement of defeating the second and third strongest enemies in the West in a row.

In this game, Wang Chao once again scored high points. He made 33 of 19 shots, 13 of 10 three-pointers, 14 of 13 free throws, 59 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists. Under 50+ score!

With 51 points against the Spurs and 59 points against the Warriors, Wang Chao's powerful scoring ability has been best interpreted, and anyone who has watched the game knows that whether it is the Spurs or the Warriors, Wang Chao's defensive tactics are always the most. But even if it's double or even three-person double-teaming, or a single-man defensive champion constantly takes turns to defend and consume, there is no way to limit Wang Chao at all.

Not to mention Nuggets fans, fans all over the league were stunned.

Is he in this state now?

Wang Chao is almost invincible on the offensive end, especially when Gobert and Tucker undertake most of the team's defensive work, Wang Chao's energy on the defensive end drops sharply, and he can focus more energy On the offensive end, that feeling of invincibility is really deeply hopeless.

According to this rhythm, it is really not impossible for the Nuggets to win the championship this season. After all, the Nuggets have defeated the Nets, Warriors, Spurs and other favorites in the regular season. The favorite team to play against the league championship is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But everyone knows that the situation of the Cavaliers is not good. Thomas Jr. is not Irving after all. His style of play is doomed to be incompatible with James. He was not injured, and his strength has not declined significantly, but his personal statistics are still like diving from a high platform. From the average of nearly 30 points per game last season, his scoring average dropped sharply to 16.6 points and 5.2 assists.

在骑士队，这个得分只能排在全队第三，低于场均27分8篮板9助攻的詹姆斯与24分10篮板的恩比德。

At the same time, Wade, who joined the Cavaliers with a veteran's basic salary, also dived high.

When he was in the Bulls, Wade could still maintain an average of 20+ points per game. Although he is no longer the strength of the Flash, he is also a proper All-Star star.

But when he came to the Cavaliers, he didn't have any ball rights at all. The Cavaliers' ball rights were completely divided by James, Embiid and Thomas Jr., which made his average data only maintain 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game. .

Obviously, compared with when Irving was still there last season, the strength of the Cavaliers is more than a little weaker, which also makes the performance of the Cavaliers in the regular season not good. Under people, can only be ranked third.

Even the Nets and Warriors are not opponents of the Nuggets. Not many people think that the Cavaliers have the possibility of defeating the Nuggets. James has lost to Wang Chao too many times. Even if he won twice in the Heat and Cavaliers, However, considering that Yao of the Rockets was injured and unable to play by Perkins of the Thunder in one case, and Wang Chao led a group of recruits from the Nets on the other, the two victories were not convincing.

Speaking of it, James is unlucky enough. He encountered a bug-like existence like Wang Chao in his career, and his personal honor is completely in the dark. So far, there is only one regular season MVP, two championships and FMVP.

This kind of honor accumulation, in the league, is already the best among active players except Wang Chao, and can be described as the well-deserved little king of the league under Wang Chao.

But this is not enough for James to be included in the discussion of the top ten stars in league history. No one even compares him with Kobe. It is also the championship won by the core identity of one of the OK groups, plus one of his own championships, 4MVP, 1FMVP, and the honor of 1 crowns still stabilizes James.

Of course, also affected are the legendary superstar Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs, Curry and Durant of the Warriors.

Duncan, who was supposed to have five championships, only has three championships. Although he can secure his position as the number one power forward in history with the honors of two regular season MVPs and three FMVPs, the top ten positions in history are also a bit like Kobe. It is shaky, and there will often be heated discussions on the Internet because of which of the two is more qualified to be selected for the top ten in the league.

According to the currently generally recognized top ten rankings in history, Wang Chao, who has eight crowns in his hands, has no suspense and sits firmly at the No.1 position in history, while the former basketball god Michael Jordan, who has six crowns, ranks second. The six players up to eighth are Skyhook Kareem, Magic Johnson, Lord of the Rings Russell, Bird Bird, Shaquille O'Neal and Chamberlain.

As for the ninth and tenth are Duncan and Kobe.

Therefore, the rise of a superstar is bound to be accompanied by the tragedy of a group of stars.

Wang Chao's birth has affected players at the same stage of his career to varying degrees. Players who have accumulated more honors during this period must have been most affected.

James lost three MVPs, Kobe Bryant and Duncan lost one or two championships respectively, Dirk Nowitzki's most valuable championship is gone, and Garnett's core champion in the Celtics has also become a champion in the Rockets. leg hug champion...

Durant and Curry, as players who joined the league a little later, are even worse than these predecessors. Durant has no regular season MVP and scoring champion so far. He finally won a championship with Wang Chao's thigh. The champion was also turned into a laughing stock by Wang Chao on the spot because of his flamboyant intestines during the finals.

Although Curry won two regular season MVPs because of the league's support, preventing Wang Chao from monopolizing the MVP field, but so far without a championship makes him almost the same as the original Nash Jianghu status.

Of course, there are many stars who have been miserable, and there are also many players who have achieved higher achievements because of Wang Chao.

With the blessing of an NBA championship and FMVP, Nash's historical status has risen sharply, becoming the second point guard in history after Magic Johnson at the point guard position.

Then there is Howard. Although there is no FMVP in the finals, Howard and Wang Chao created the magic team's three consecutive championships when they partnered.

In the same way, Dayao, who partnered with Wang Chao during the Rockets period, has also been elevated to a very high status in history.

In 2016, Dayao was officially inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.

Three championships, the honor of being selected to the best team of the season and the All-Star many times, he deserves to be selected into the Hall of Fame. No clown would dare to jump out and comment that Dayao is not qualified for the Hall of Fame.

The only pity is that Dayao did not win the regular season MVP, otherwise he could surpass Olajuwon and become the greatest center in the history of the Rockets.

In addition, Leonard, Butler, Jokic and other players won the championship next to Wang Chao, and they have accumulated a lot of honors more or less. Of course, the biggest and most honors are still won by Wang Chao.

The topic is a bit far away... Wang Chao's greatness does not need too many descriptions. Even black fans can't pick out his faults from the performance on the field. The only point that can be cut in is Wang Chao's refusal to participate in the Olympics The national team game, being entangled with two women too much, and playing too domineering, can be called the biggest ball bully in the history of the league, etc. Naturally, these are not painful.

On January 1, the league has begun to announce the results of the second round of voting for the 7 All-Star voting.

In the first round of voting at the end of December, Wang Chao became the leader of the first round of votes with an absolute advantage without any suspense. Whether it was James, Durant, Curry or the newly emerging Antetokounmpo, Wang Chao was far behind. Only one tail light was visible.

This shows how terrifying Wang Chao's popularity has reached.

This is not only due to the huge number of Huaguo fans brought by Wang Chao's identity as a Huaguo, Wang Chao also has an extremely large number of fans in the United States.

Just like in China, Kobe Bryant and James have a lot of fans. The vast majority of fans don't care about nationality. They prefer the star's style of play and performance on the field.

It is the habit of most fans to like strong players. Unless it is because of some personal reasons or differences in style and aesthetics, no one will like losers.

Wang Chao has always appeared on the field as a winner in the past, so his number of fans in the United States is also extremely large, no less than James, Curry and others, or even more.

This has always been one of the reasons why the league is more annoyed. They hope to see more stars rise, especially overseas stars, which can help them further develop overseas markets.

But at the same time, they don't want overseas stars to completely dominate the league, because it will make the name of the NBA a joke, but on the field, they can at most manipulate the referee's blowing power, but they can't. Too much and too obvious, for the current Wang Chao and the Nuggets, it is no longer a factor that can affect the direction of the game too much. (end of this chapter)
