NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 75 Week 21.8 of the regular season, averaging [-] points per game

With the Suns defeating the Spurs, the regular season record has come to 4 wins and 1 loss, currently ranking first in the Western Conference.

And because Wang Chao scored 30 points in the game against the Spurs, his personal scoring average directly exceeded 20 points, reaching 21.2 points.

As Popovich said, Wang Chao’s extremely stable three-point shooting outside the three-point line, as well as his tireless movement on the field, so far the league really has no particularly good response Method, and only monsters like Kirilenko whose dynamic talent and static talent completely crush Wang Chao can really limit Wang Chao's performance.

Wang Chao's efficient scoring also succeeded in giving D'Antoni a taste of the sweetness. He began to realize that Stoudemire, who had not yet fully recovered to his peak state, seemed not as useful as Wang Chao.

Therefore, in the subsequent game against the Dallas Mavericks at home on November 11, D'Antoni once again arranged tactics around Wang Chao as the main scoring core.

这场比赛虽然太阳队最终以112:119不敌小牛败下阵来，但王超却再次打出25分3篮板的亮眼表现，全场比赛15投8中，三分球10中6，罚球4中3。

The Suns lost to their old opponents in the Western Conference Finals last season. The duel between the two All-Star power forwards, Nowitzki scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, while Stoudemire only had 16 points and 8 rebounds.

Regarding the loss of the Suns to the Mavericks, Wang Chao was not surprised.

Because according to the original historical process, the Mavericks' final record this season should be 67 wins and 15 losses, ranking first in the league, and even higher than the 61 wins and 21 losses of the Suns.

And the only two teams that have won 60+ games this season are the Mavericks and the Suns.

Of course, many old fans know the story after that. The Mavericks, who were invincible in the regular season, entered the playoffs but were eliminated in the first round by the Warriors led by Baron Davis, which became a big joke in the league.

It is not that there are no black eight miracles in the history of the league, but it is the only one that has won the impressive record of 67 wins in the regular season like the Mavericks.

And the funniest thing is that the reason why the Warriors can enter the playoffs is that the Mavericks released water at the end of the playoffs and gave the Warriors a victory. This made the Warriors enter the playoffs at eighth place in the West , The Los Angeles Clippers also missed the playoffs this season.

But no matter how badly the Mavericks played in the playoffs, the Mavericks in the regular season this season are really strong.

You must know that even the Lakers with the peak OK combination, the best record in the regular season is only 67, and looking at the history of the league, 67 wins are already the top record that can be ranked first, especially before the Warriors 73 wins. Better than this record is only the Bulls' 72 wins, the Lakers' 69 wins, and the Celtics and 76ers' 68 wins.

Further down is the 67 wins. Although there are many teams, each of them is separated by at least several years.

Nowitzki also relied on the Mavericks' 67-win record to win the only regular season MVP trophy in his career this season. The season is nothing at all.

The loss of the Mavericks game turned the Suns' record into 4 wins and 2 losses, and the first week of the regular season was also over.

In the first week of the league, the situation of the Suns was beyond many people's expectations.

First of all, after Stoudemire returned from injury, he seemed a little uncomfortable with the game. Although he played well in the first two games, his performance in the subsequent games was not particularly good, so the average data per game was only 16.6 points and 7.9 rebounds.

The number of shots taken by Nash and Marion's two main starting players has also declined significantly compared with last season. After all, they have to hand over the ball to Stoudemire.

Nash averaged 15.4 points and 11.6 assists per game, while Marion averaged 18.2 points and 9.8 rebounds.

Of course, another major reason for the decline in the statistics of the two is that they not only gave the ball to Stoudemire, but also gave some of it to Wang Chao.

No one expected that after the start of the new season, Wang Chao showed such a stable and efficient offensive performance. In the first week of 6 games, he averaged 21.8 points per game and made 49% of his three-pointers. The scoring leader is also the team's main scoring point in the game.

Many fans were happy, because not long ago, many people were still commenting on the incident that Barkley's gambling king surpassed the regular season scoring average, and if he lost, he would taste donkey dung.

At that time, many people were still saying that Barkley was cunning. With Wang Chao's ability, it was almost impossible to average 20+ per game with Stoudemire, Marion and other good scorers.

Who would have thought that, after a few games, Wang Chao's scoring average was already approaching 22 points per game!

Although only 6 games have been played so far, and there are still 76 games waiting for Wang Chao, but if he really plays according to the current tactics, it is really possible for Wang Chao to average 20+ points per game.

Things seem to have changed.

Only Wang Chao himself could clearly feel the pressure.

As a traverser, he knew very well that Stoudemire's abnormal performance was only in the first few games of the regular season.

It won't take long for the opponent to get back to their state and play efficiently.

At that time, the Suns' offensive focus will definitely be on Stoudemire again. After all, Wang Chao's style of playing through continuous running to find opportunities and over-reliance on outside touch is not stable enough in everyone's eyes, at least Compared with Stoudemire's efficient scoring ability at the basket, it is much worse.

Once the strategic focus changes, Wang Chao will definitely have fewer opportunities, and he has no idea whether he can maintain an average score of 20+ points per game.

Wang Chao remembers that Stoudemire's final regular season average this season should be about 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage of 57.5% is a new career high.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, Wang Chao clearly understands that if he wants to complete the season task, at some point his teammates on the same team are also his competitors!
