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

Chapter 305 The third regular season team led by Wang Chao with 70+ wins is about to be born?

Leaving Durant's future health aside, it has nothing to do with Wang Chao, but with the goal of winning this season, Wang Chao still needs a healthy Durant to stay on the court.

Therefore, during the regular season, he is going to arrange a large number of rotations for Durant to reduce the probability of injury due to fatigue accumulation.

Originally, this kind of situation could be solved very well by using sparring potions and physical potions. Even if they could only enjoy 30% of the effect of the potions, for professional basketball players, the effect of reducing fatigue was quite obvious.

But the problem is that the sparring potion doesn't work for Durant, because there is a prerequisite for using the potion itself, and the relationship with Wang Chao must be over 60.

Although Durant praised Wang Chao in various ways on the surface, and hailed him as the best teammate he had partnered with in his career, the information fed back by the system showed that the relationship between the two had never reached more than 60.

This is a bit intriguing. You must know that more than 80% of the players in the current Nets team have a relationship with Wang Chao of over 60, and they can enjoy the effect of the sparring potion, including Jokic, Booker and other Nets teams tomorrow. Star.

"Brothers on the surface..."

Wang Chao can only sigh helplessly about this, but he can also understand Durant, playing in a team does not mean that the relationship must be very good.

Jordan and Pippen of the Bulls teamed up to win six championships and created two dynasties, but off the court, the two had little intersection. Even after retiring for many years, Pippen repeatedly criticized and even criticized Jordan when he talked about Jordan. Criticized Jordan's bad at that time.

It is normal for Durant not to have a good impression of him. After all, who made the two of them have been considered competitors before?Even if you choose to compromise and team up with your former opponent for the sake of the championship, can you still expect Durant to be as close as a brother to Wang Chao?

It is enough to be a superficial brother, say a few good words to media reporters on the bright side, and cooperate with partners normally on the field.

If there is no way to use sparring potions with physical potions to restore Durant to fatigue, we can only arrange for Durant to take some rotations as much as possible to ensure that his physical fitness is sufficient.

Throughout November, Durant took two games off in total, one against the Clippers, and one away against the Pacers on November 11. Zhan Wangchao's single-core leader also won easily, and then Wang Chao and Durant teamed up to avenge their previous revenge in the game against the Los Angeles Clippers at home on November 11, winning 25:11 by 29 points.

With this big victory, the Nets' schedule for November came to an end. Including several games at the end of October, the Nets achieved a total of 11 wins and 10 loss, ranking first in the league. The Warriors ranked second with 16 wins and 1 losses. The Cavaliers of the big aircraft carrier have a regular season record as always, with only 16 wins and 2 losses.

In November, the Eastern and Western Players of the Month were awarded to Wang Chao of the Nets and Westbrook of the Thunder.

Wang Chao averaged 27.4 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 11.2 assists in the dozen or so games at the start of the new season, as well as 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks. The game, even those who look at the statistics, know that this is not because Wang Chao has become weaker, but because the Nets are too strong. In many games, Wang Chao only needs to clock in three quarters. This season, the average The playing time of 33.2 minutes is the lowest value of his average playing time in recent years, and even fell below 40 minutes per game for the first time.

In the game, Wang Chao showed super dominance on both offense and defense.

In contrast, although Wang Chao's teammate Kevin Durant scored as high as 32.5 points per game, his contribution to the team's victory was obviously less than that of Wang Chao, and everyone knew that Durant's efficient scoring performance , It is inseparable from the reason why Wang Chao attracts offensive firepower. Moreover, even if Durant averages 5.1 points higher than Wang Chao, Wang Chao far surpasses Durant in terms of rebounds, assists and even defensive statistics. Therefore, Wang Chao was elected to the Eastern Conference. Player of the Month has no objections.

As for Westbrook being selected as the player of the month in the West, there is no controversy.

After Durant left the Thunder, almost everyone believed that the Thunder's record in the new season would plummet.

But the result was surprising. Without Durant, Westbrook seemed to be completely liberated, highly concentrated the ball in his own hands, and showed strong personal dominance in the game.

The Thunder have the most schedule of any team in November, with a total of 11 games including a few games in October.

In this intensive game, the Thunder team actually achieved a record of 12 wins and 8 losses. Not only that, Westbrook, as the only core with the ball, averaged 20 points, 31.2 rebounds, 10.5 assists, 11.3 Although the shooting percentage of % is a bit lacking, if such data hides the name, I am afraid that everyone will think that this is a masterpiece from Wang Chao.

Can someone in the alliance achieve the same miracle as Wang Chao?

Everyone was shocked. Wang Chao's ability to average a triple-double for the season alone was an exaggeration. Who would have thought that such a monster existed in the league.

Westbrook's superb performance in November can't help but make people wonder, who suppressed whom during the Thunder's double junior period?

Of course, even with such explosive triple-double figures from Westbrook, the Thunder's record is still not very good. With 12 wins and 8 losses, they can only rank seventh in the Western Conference. Even if the team can enter the playoffs Sai, it is also difficult to go far.

However, Westbrook's performance has given the Thunder's management great hope. They have every reason to believe that with Westbrook as the core main force, and through some signings and reinforcements in exchange for two All-Star players With the formation of the Big Three, the Thunder still have a lot to offer in the playoffs.

Ummmmmm...

Wang Chao said it was great.

Coming back from the future, he knows very well that Westbrook's explosion is just a flash in the pan. It is true that Westbrook's triple-doubles per game for many consecutive seasons are beyond the reach of most players in the league. As far as he is concerned, even if he deliberately brushes the data, it can fully show the strength of Westbrook.

But the problem is that as a guard with a height of 1 meters, his lack of accurate long-range shooting ability is doomed to Westbrook's difficulty in the playoffs. This is an objective fact.

There are countless guards with outstanding strength in the league, but basically for players who can play a decisive role in the playoffs, medium and long-range shooting is a compulsory course, otherwise once the opponents make targeted defenses against them in the playoffs, everything will be lost It's over.

Of course, even if Westbrook averages a triple-double in November, he will still not be taken seriously by the league's top-record teams, and he will only be surprised by his gorgeous statistics.

What's more, with Wang Chao Yuzhu in front, Westbrook's average triple-double is far from enough. There are even many people who are still picking at the bones, saying that the shooting rate is too low and the rebounds are all He picked up defensive rebounds, averaged 11.3 assists and 5.5 turnovers per game, and the defensive end completely focused on defense and so on.

As for the Nets, the schedule has entered December, and the quality of opponents has gradually improved.

On December 12, the Nets played an away game against the San Antonio Spurs. It was a bitter battle.

This summer, the legendary Spurs superstar Tim Duncan officially announced his retirement, and a generation of legends officially came to an end.

The appearance of Wang Chao also had a huge impact on Duncan. Duncan, who was supposed to have 5 championships in his hands and was firmly in the top ten in history, only retired with 3 championships.

However, Duncan, who has 3 crowns, 3 FMVPs and 2 MVPs, is still the first in the field of power forwards in terms of accumulative honors. Whether it is Dirk Nowitzki, who has never won a title in his life, or won two championships with Wang Chao and Da Yao's thighs Garnett, there is no way to compare with it.

With the accumulation of these honors, whether Duncan can enter the top ten threshold in history is still unknown, but after the Spurs retired Duncan, there was someone who took over perfectly, and that was Warcraft Howard.

I have to admit that the times make heroes. Howard, who had already started his wandering career at this time, chose the Spurs when he left the Lakers. As a result, his life trajectory has completely changed.

Under Popovich's coaching, Howard's strengths are maximized while making up for his shortcomings as much as possible. This is what a coach with outstanding ability should do, and it is also what the Spurs' GDP combination can complement each other for so many years. main reason.

The Spurs have been super dominant for more than ten years, half of Duncan's medals, and the other half definitely belongs to Popovich.

After Duncan retired, Howard took over Duncan's original position in the Spurs and did very well.

Howard at his peak must be stronger than Duncan in terms of defense only, and even Duncan at his peak is no exception.

Howard is better than Duncan in terms of defensive area, mobility, frame protection, rebounding, blocks, and various statistics. Compared with Shifo, what Warcraft lacks is the scoring ability that is as stable as a mountain on the offensive end, especially the ability to attack at critical moments.

Even though Duncan averaged no more than 25 points per game at his peak, which is not much different from Howard at his peak, but the difference in offensive skills between the two is really not 01:30. Just a 45-degree rebound shot, Duncan can make a fresh move. Eat all over the world and abuse all players in the league.

Of course, Popovich didn't want Howard to take on the duties of the peak Duncan, but Duncan's job with the Spurs after 09.

After 09, Duncan gradually withdrew from the offensive work and handed over the offense to Parker and Ginobili. He was only responsible for the team's defense and frame protection in the penalty area.

Even though Howard has lost his exaggerated athletic ability due to injuries, his ability to protect the frame at the basket still exists. Cooperating with Butler's perimeter defense, he has created a basic defense for the Spurs.

On the offensive end, the main core of the Spurs is naturally Jimmy Butler. In the sixth season of his career, Butler has become a recognized star in the league. After becoming the core of the Spurs' offense this season, he has performed very well. Can contribute 25.2 points, 6 rebounds and 5.5 assists for the team, and his performance is not inferior to Leonard in the same period.

In the game against the Nets, even in the face of Wang Chao's defense, Butler still scored 18 points efficiently on 10 of 26 shots. In addition, Howard's 16 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks and 6 players in the team scored in double figures. In the absence of overtime, the team's total score reached 130 points, which made the Nets almost breathless.

Fortunately, Wang Chao took over the game at the last moment of the fourth quarter, scored 2 points in a row in 11 minutes, abruptly turned the game around, and led the team to a 132:130 victory over the Spurs by 2 points.

The Nets who defeated the Spurs didn't have time to be happy for long, and they lost in an away game against the Rockets on December 12.

After playing against Butler on the front foot, the back foot will have to deal with another former younger brother Leonard.

The Rockets' lineup has undergone a major change this summer. Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson, Patrick Beverly and other players were acquired through trades, and D'Antoni was hired as the head coach.

The prototype of Leonard's version of the Magic Ball Rockets unexpectedly appeared in such a weird way.

Wang Chao couldn't figure it out. The dog had already rolled away, the general manager had changed, and the team lineup was completely different. Why did the Rockets go down the old path of magic ball again?

In terms of offensive ability, Leonard is definitely not as good as Harden. The opponent's ability to draw fouls alone is a stunt that he can't match.

However, Leonard has both offense and defense, and can do a lot of things that Harden can't do, and his singles ability with the ball was trained by Wang Chao himself. There are very few people in the league who can handle it. To some extent, he can replace him. Harden's work during the Rockets Magic Ball period.

The Rockets coached by D'Antoni belong to the typical type of punching the master to death. Although the stability is not enough, it is a super strong team that can compete with the Warriors for several seasons. It's true if you are a little careless It's easy to capsize in the gutter.

The Nets were inadvertently overshadowed by the Rockets. Seven players from the opposing team scored in double figures. They took 7 crazy shots from beyond the three-point line and hit 47 goals.

This kind of loss is completely unreasonable. There are more than one or two teams in the league who have suffered this kind of loss, including the Bulls during the 72-win period and the Warriors who won 73 wins in time and space. Some of the games they lost were also lost to the league. In the case of the team with the lowest record, not to mention that the Nets' opponent, the Rockets, is not the lowest team in the league, but a powerful Western Conference.

Although the boat capsized in the gutter and lost the game, the Nets' record is still far ahead, and only the Warriors in the league can barely follow behind.

The time came to mid-December, and the record of the Nets had reached 12 wins and 23 losses. If this winning rate continues, the league will have a fifth team with 3+ wins in the regular season. The most terrifying thing is that the first four teams The team has two teams led by Wang Chao, the Magic and the Rockets, and the Nets will most likely become the third team to win 70+ games in the regular season under his leadership. What is this like? dominance?
