With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 162 Despair Adu and 70 wins in the regular season!
Wang Chao laughed when he saw Durant intentionally racking up points to surpass him in the scoring list.

Interesting, come with me?Do you think I won't score points?
As a football master who traveled here from 2022, Wang Chao has seen too many data brushes, and he knows too well what to do if he wants to play a beautiful data.

As long as he is willing, it is not impossible to average 35 points per game this season, but that will not be beneficial to the Magic. There are many players in the team who need the ball to show their strength, and they will concentrate all their opportunities on Wang Chao himself. On one person, it will only damage the team as a whole.

Like Harden in the 18-19 season, Kobe in the 05-06 season, and Jordan in the 86-87 season, they were all helpless under special circumstances. There is really no other player in the team who can output stably. Only his continuous offense can help The team wins.

The current Magic is obviously not in that embarrassing situation, so Wang Chao's scoring average does not need to reach such a high level.

But if someone robs him, that's another matter.

On April 4, the Magic and the Thunder almost started the match. The Magic played away against the Indiana Pacers. The Thunder also played away against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Blazers attach great importance to the outcome of this game. The remaining two games are a card battle for the Blazers. Every extra game they win may increase their ranking in the Western Conference record list. , For teams that want to make some breakthroughs in the playoffs, it is very important.

On the other hand, the Thunder's desire to win is not very strong. Winning or losing doesn't matter anyway. Therefore, from the beginning of the game, the Thunder team focused on helping Durant create opportunities and let him get as much as possible. Score.

Perhaps because of the pressure, Durant was not in a good state at the beginning of the game, and all his first few shots missed, but after all, he is the current player with the strongest scoring ability in the future league. As the game progressed, Durant gradually regained his status and scored frequently.

首节比赛8投2中仅得到4分的杜兰特在第二节比赛6投4中，罚球4中4，得到12分，上半场结束时个人得到16分。

In the third quarter of the second half, Durant made persistent efforts. He took 10 shots in a single quarter, hit 4 goals, and made 6 of 5 free throws. After the third quarter, his personal score also increased to 29 points!
"Very good. According to this rhythm, if we get another 10 points in the fourth quarter, we can score 40+ in the whole game! There is still a chance for the scoring champion!"

When sitting off the court to rest, Durant, who was covered in sweat, still had a slight smile on his face, turning a blind eye to the double-digit point difference that had been opened by his opponent on the court at this time.

While he was still thinking about how to continue scoring efficiently in the fourth quarter, Durant suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the team's assistant coach.

"Jack, help me see how many points Wang Chao has scored on the Magic team now?"

The assistant coach Jack, who heard Durant's words, had a stiff expression on his face. He hesitated and said, "I forgot my phone in the locker room. Let's look at it after the game."

Durant, who was in a good mood, didn't notice Jack's expression. He turned his head and looked to the other side. In the auditorium near the bench, there was a fan playing with his mobile phone, so he leaned over and said, "Hey buddy , can I use your phone temporarily?"

Looking at Durant who was still unwilling to give up, Jack opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything in the end. He looked at the other companions around him. Whether it was the coach or the substitute players, they had already noticed this scene, but No one spoke.

Forget it, let him see for himself...

After a while, Durant returned the phone to the fans, but when he handed it out, his hands were already shaking.

2010 is the era of the rise of smart phones. Apple 4 will be released in June, which raises the expectations of Quanmi and even the world for smart phones to the extreme. The Internet industry related to smart phones is also developing rapidly.

Durant just typed Wang Chao's name into Google, and countless related information flooded out the next moment, the most conspicuous of which was the news just updated a few minutes ago.

"The state exploded! Wang Chao scored 37 points in the halftime, and his personal score exceeded 50 points before the end of the third quarter! Is there anyone on earth who can stop him?"

"50 points... 50 points..."

Durant's face turned pale, and he muttered softly.

So far, the highest score in a single game of Durant's career is 2009 points in the game against the New Orleans Hornets on February 2, 17!
And now it is the third season of Durant's career. He has participated in more than 230 games and has not scored 50+ points once.

But Wang Chao scored 50 points in less than three quarters.

A strong sense of powerlessness instantly surrounded Durant.

Powerless, really too powerless!

Obviously, he has exhausted all his strength in this game, and he doesn't even care about the outcome of the game. The purpose is to beat Wang Chao in the competition for the scoring champion, but the result is like this?

Durant, who reappeared in the fourth quarter, was like sleepwalking throughout the whole process. He changed his active and efficient performance in the first two quarters, and finally scored 5 points on 2 of 5 shots. He also fixed his personal score in this game at 34 points. .

34 points in the game is considered a high score. Even if Kobe, James and others score 34 points in the game, they will be listed in the sports newspaper of the day.

Durant's 34 points in a single game also made the headlines of the day, but only as a background board.

"In the battle for the scoring title, Wang Chao scored 61 points vs. Durant's 34 points. The overall situation is set."

"Jiang is still old and hot. Wang Chao scored 61 points in a single game and secured his position as the scoring leader. Durant was powerless."

"After this battle, Wang Chao's scoring average rose to 31.8 points, and Durant's was 31.3. There is only one game left in the regular season. Assuming that Wang Chao only has 1 points in the final game of the regular season, his average scoring There will also be 20 points. If Durant wants to surpass Wang Chao, he needs to score 31.67 points in the last game. In this way, his average scoring is 60 points, and he will surpass Wang Chao by 31.68 points to win the scoring crown. , but if Wang Chao scores 0.01 points in the final game, Durant will score 30 points!"

So the question is, is it more difficult for Wang Chao to score 30 points in a single game, or is it more difficult for Durant to score 70 points?

This question does not need to be debated at all.

So far, Durant's career-high score is only 47. Why did he score 70 points?
4月14日，魔术队主场迎战费城76人队，这是魔术队09-10赛季的最后一场比赛，而在此之前魔术队已经取得69胜战绩，正式追平湖人队历史第二的69胜13负战绩。

The outcome of this game will directly determine whether the Magic can enjoy the second record in history.

On this day, Orlando fans flocked to Amway Arena to witness this historic one.

The Magic didn't disappoint the fans either.

125:111, a hearty victory ended all the journey of the regular season, and officially brought the Magic's record this season to 70 wins and 12 losses!
Although it is known that the Magic has a high probability of winning the game against the 76ers, when the result actually appears, many people still feel incredible.

This is 70 wins in the regular season!Looking at the history of the NBA, for so many years, only the Bulls have achieved the miracle of 70+ wins in a single season, and now the Magic have achieved a shocking record that neither the OK combination nor the Lakers in the showtime period could achieve.

On that day, all the headlines on the front page were the news that the Magic won 70 wins and 12 losses in the regular season. The major media rushed to report that the evaluation of the combination of Wang Chao and Howard Super Magic skyrocketed with extreme exaggeration. The crown, but has surpassed the OK combination and has become the best combination in the league recognized by most fans after Jordan Pippen!
In this regard, before anyone else spoke, O'Neill took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction in an interview with the media.

"The super magic combination has surpassed the OK combination? Are you kidding? It seems that you have forgotten how strong Kobe and I were at the peak. At most, Wang Chao is tied with Kobe in scoring ability. His defense is far away." Can’t compare to Kobe, as for Dwight…, I’m not bragging, I can beat him with one hand in my prime!”

O'Neal is not bragging about this point. Howard, even in the most peak seasons, is at best a super blue-collar player. His main strength lies in his speed, explosive power and jumping that are not inferior to defenders, giving him a terrifying defensive radius. And assist defense blocking ability.

Let him face O'Neal at his peak, and the end will not be much better than Mutombo. After all, with Howard's tonnage, he can't hold O'Neal at all. The opponent only needs to push his butt to the basket to carry Howard. Force a dunk.

If you really want to talk about the strength of the OK combination and the super magic combination, even Wang Chao himself will be more inclined to O'Neill and Kobe.

But the Magic are obviously a better team than the Lakers during the OK combination period, at least in the 09-10 season.

In the 99-00 season, during the OK combination period, the Lakers had the best record of 67 wins and crushed and won the championship in the playoffs. In addition to O'Neal and Kobe, the team's third scoring point was an average of 15.9 points per game. Len Rice, the only three players in the team scored in double figures. In addition, the only slightly stronger players in the team were Fisher, Rick Fox and the aging Ron Harper.

In contrast, the Magic's lineup not only has outstanding players such as Nelson, Afflalo, and Channing Frye on the starting list, but also has Jamal Crawford, Dragic, and Ali on the bench. Zha and other players, the overall strength is not comparable to that of the Magic.

The Magic have five players with a three-point shooting rate of over 40%, including Wang Chao, Crawford, Nelson, Afflalo and Channing Frye.

And Dragic, Ariza and Barnes three main role players, although the three-point shooting rate did not reach 40%, but it is not low, Dragic three-point shooting rate is 37%, Ariza hit three-pointers The shooting rate is 33.4%, and Barnes is 31.9%. They are both players who cannot easily open up and shoot.

With the purposeful signing of Wang Chao, the magic team's one-star tactical system has been developed to the extreme!

In addition, the regular season is not 7 games in the playoffs to determine the outcome. In a long season, the performance of the players themselves, the team's tactical system and various other factors outside the court have become the key to a team's record.

Although the Lakers only won 99 wins in the 00-67 season, and failed to win 60+ games in the subsequent two consecutive championships, the main reason was not that the players were not strong enough, but the attendance rate.

During the 67-win period, O'Neal played 79 regular season games and missed 3 regular season games, while Kobe only played 66 games and missed as many as 16 games. In the following two seasons, neither O'Neal nor Kobe had full attendance. Playing the entire season, each season has at least one absence of more than 15 games.

For a team, the impact of the lack of a top star is self-evident.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Magic's regular season performance can surpass that of the Lakers in the OK combination period.

The 09-10 season was the last season in which Howard remained healthy and played full-time. After this season, Howard's state will begin to decline due to injuries.

The 10-11 season was fine. Howard only missed 4 games due to minor injuries. He played 78 games in the regular season and averaged 22.9 points and 14.1 rebounds per game, the best in his career.

But with the arrival of the 11-12 season, Howard suffered a serious back injury and was reimbursed for the season. Then Warcraft joined the Lakers and moved to Rockets, Hawks, Hornets and other teams, but the injury caused a decline in explosive power, so that Howard no longer has the terrifying defense of the peak period. Ability, and the offensive end has been unable to develop a stable scoring weapon, making his era gone forever.

Off topic.

In the 09-10 season, Howard is at the peak of his career and the healthiest period, and his style of play this season is also very reasonable. The average number of shots per game is only ranked fourth in the Magic, and he is completely positioned as a super blue-collar. Adding bricks and tiles, although the scoring average is only 17.1 points per game, the data of 14.6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks are both defending the rebounding champion and the blocking champion, highlighting his contribution on the defensive end.

Full attendance in 82 games and not missing a game also ensured that the Magic's defensive system has never collapsed.

Correspondingly, Wang Chao, who also attended all 82 games and averaged 31.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, guaranteed the Magic's offensive system.

There is no suspense in Wang Chao's full attendance, at least he himself is convinced of this. Even if Howard will miss the game due to the butterfly effect injury, he will not be absent.

This confidence comes from the system's innate skills and reinforced iron bones.

This talent has no way to provide Wang Chao with even a little bit of commission for his strength on the field, but it allows him to have a physique that is tougher and less prone to injury than James.

When the two main core players of the team, Wang Chao and Howard, both played full-time in 82 games in the regular season, ensuring the team's offensive and defensive combat effectiveness, it is only natural that the Magic can win a record of 70 wins and 12 losses.
