NBA: James wants to team up with me

The Bulls have a record of 64 wins and 18 losses, ranking first in the regular season record. Wang Chong's personal performance naturally plays a crucial role.

Throughout the regular season schedule, Wang Chong played 79 games, averaging 39.6 minutes per game, contributing 32.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, shooting 53% from the field and 41% from the three-point range.

This allowed Wang Chong to be elected as the league's scoring champion in the 09-10 season without any suspense, winning the scoring title for the fifth consecutive year in his career.

As Wang Chong expected, the only person who can pose a slight threat to him in terms of scoring this season is the growing Durant.

But after all, Durant is with the Celtics, not the Thunder, with Pierce, Rondo and many other good players. Although Durant has shown extremely amazing talents on the offensive end, he has even been touted by many media as a small player. Wang Chong, but still does not have unlimited fire rights.

In the end, Durant's scoring average this season was fixed at 30.7 points per game, which is still a long way from Wang Chong's 32.2 points.

Even so, Durant's performance surprised many people and made the Celtics ecstatic.

After years of waiting, they finally have a player who promises to be a superstar.

Although Pierce is also a very good star, averaging 26.8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game at his peak, but with Pierce's personal ability and status, he can only be regarded as a star, but he is definitely not a superstar.

The last superstar of the Celtics to reach a historical level was the famous Big Bird Larry Bird.

And now the rise of Durant has given Boston fans hope of a new superstar on the team.

Moreover, the playing styles of Durant and Wang Chong are so similar that many of their moves are carved from the same mold. With the classic case of Wang Chong in front of them, no one thinks that Durant's performance will be worse.

At least this season, the two's outstanding scoring abilities have begun to show. Except for Wang Chong with 32+ and Durant with 30+, no one in the league has scored more than 30 points.

Kobe, who was still competing with Wang Chong in terms of scoring in the past two years, has now completely withdrawn from the competition for the scoring champion, although this has something to do with Kobe himself understanding that blindly scoring cannot bring him the scoring champion he wants. , but it is undeniable that in terms of offensive efficiency and scoring stability, there is a natural gap between Kobe and players like Wang Chong and Durant who are full of static physical talents and whose offensive shots are extremely difficult to defend.

Ranking third in the scoring list is James, who averages 29 points per game.

Originally in the 09-10 season, James led the Cavaliers to a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, allowing him to win the regular season MVP for the second consecutive year. In terms of statistics, James averaged 29.7 points, 7 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game, which was 30 points away from the average. It's only one step away.

But the current Cavaliers' lineup is very different from the original 09-10 season. With the presence of shooting guard Ray Allen in the team, James' shots have declined slightly. In addition, he can also see that He absolutely cannot compete with Wang Chong in the competition for the scoring title, so he will focus more on showing his all-around skills.

Therefore, James' final regular season statistics were 29 points, 8 rebounds and 9.4 assists, close to averaging a triple-double per game.

I have to admit that in terms of data, James has been almost perfect from beginning to end. This also makes his fans always use his data to speak when they are unable to compare players' records. .

This trick usually works every time, but it obviously doesn't work against Wang Chong, because Wang Chong's statistics are no worse than James. Even in terms of all-around, the only thing Wang Chong is worse than James now is assists. .

In terms of scoring, there is definitely no comparison between James and Wang Chong. Although James has averaged close to 30+ points per game in the past few seasons, he is still better than Wang Chong, who has won the scoring title for five consecutive seasons and has averaged 30 points per game in his career. Quite a bit different.

In terms of rebounding, the two are evenly matched.

As both small forwards, Wang Chong's height and wingspan are obviously more advantageous in rebounding. Especially in recent seasons, Wang Chong has averaged more than 8 rebounds per game, while James currently averages 7.1 rebounds per game. , lost another round.

In terms of assists per game, this is the only thing James can offer. After all, Wang Chong is a scorer and does not focus on organizing and supporting passes.

But even so, in recent years, as Wang Chong's offensive dominance has become more and more powerful, he has been double-teamed by opponents more and more times. In addition, Wang Chong already has a passing ability value of 88, and his foundation is very solid, so he averages assists per game. It has gradually increased to more than 4 times, which is not far behind James who averages 7 assists per game.

In NBA statistics, in addition to points, rebounds, and assists, the only remaining items are steals and blocks. However, in these two defensive statistics, Wang Chong also suppressed James, despite the magnitude of his lead. None of them are big, the two sides can only be considered as equals, but a lead is a lead.

According to five statistics, Wang Chong achieved a complete victory with 4 wins and 1 loss. This is without including shooting percentage, offensive efficiency and other aspects into the comparison range.

All in all, the current James is not inferior to anyone in the league, but if he cannot compare with Wang Chong, he is completely humiliating himself.

What makes James even more humiliated is that the Cavaliers' regular season ranking this season was not only lower than the Bulls who lacked Garnett, but they also fell short in the last regular season loss. With a difference of one win and one loss, they could only win 1-58. Ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

The Orlando Magic, led by Howard, ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 59 wins and 23 losses. This ranking result will directly affect the home and away order of the second round of the playoffs. For two teams that are close in strength, In other words, it is likely to be directly related to the outcome of the game.

Just like last season, the Bulls, who are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, only need to sit back and watch the battle, waiting for the No. 2 and No. 3 teams to fight to the death, and finally decide on an opponent who will compete with them in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The 8 teams in the Eastern Conference that finally qualified for the playoffs, in addition to the above three teams, are the Atlanta Hawks with 51 wins and 31 losses, the Boston Celtics with 50 wins and 32 losses, and the Miami Heat with 45 wins and 37 losses. The 43-39 Milwaukee Bucks and the 40-42 Charlotte Bobcats

The Bulls' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is Joe's team, the Bobcats.

In the Western Conference, it is still a competitive season as always. The eight teams selected for the playoffs have all won 8+ games, which is quite exaggerated.

Of course, the leader is the Los Angeles Lakers, the only strong team in the Western Conference. Kidd's joining, although it did not improve the Lakers' strength too much, has greatly ensured the Lakers' lower limit. When Kobe Bryant took the lead, there was this An experienced veteran controlling the court will undoubtedly increase the Lakers' fault tolerance rate a lot.

The Lakers ended up winning 58 games this season, one more win than the original 09-10 season.

Ranked second, the 54-win Phoenix Suns, the presence of Nash and Stoudemire has already ensured the minimum limit for this team.

The San Antonio Spurs ranked third with 52 wins. With both GDP and GDP, the Spurs have always been extremely competitive, but the era in recent years clearly does not belong to them. Ranked fourth is the Dallas Mavericks with 51 wins. Kidd's departure still has a big impact on the strength of the Mavericks. In the original 09-10 season, the Mavericks were second in the Western Conference, second only to the Lakers in record. Being able to fight a way out of the Wild West shows that this team is not weak, and King Nuo is still very strong.

From fifth to eighth, they are the Jazz, Nuggets, Trail Blazers and Rockets.

These four teams all have 50 wins, but in fact it doesn't matter even if they don't get 50 wins, because starting from ninth in the Western Conference, the record will take a sharp turn, and the ninth-ranked Grizzlies only have 40 wins.

What is more worth mentioning here is the Houston Rockets.

Dayao's luck is really good. Even Garnett did not escape injuries, but Dayao did. In the 09-10 season, this was not supposed to be Dayao's season. He played in 63 games. Both can contribute 18 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Rockets secure a playoff spot.

Whether in terms of attendance rate or per-game data, Dayao has undoubtedly begun to decline. He also suffered injuries many times during the schedule. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, so he can continue to stay on the court.

Wang Chong doesn't know how many years Dayao's career can be extended by this, but even if he can play one more game, it will be a worthwhile gain.

As for the statistics list after the regular season, it would be nice to mention it in passing. In fact, there is basically no big change.

Wang Chong won the scoring title for the fifth consecutive year, while Howard won the rebounding title for the third consecutive year and the shot blocking title for the second consecutive year.

The league's assists king was won by Steve Nash of the Suns.

In the past two seasons, Chris Paul has won the league's assists title for two consecutive years, and once took away the title of the strongest point guard from Nash. However, Nash, the son of the wind, is obviously not easy to compete with, and successfully regained the assists title. However, this also has something to do with Paul's injury in the middle of the season and his decline in form.
-
Three days after the end of the regular season, on April 4, the NBA playoffs officially started. The Bulls also welcomed the first-round playoff challenger, the Charlotte Bobcats, at their home court at the United Center in Chicago.

The Bobcats, a new team in the league, have been beaten in various ways since entering the league in the 04-05 season.

There is no way, this is what a team with insufficient team foundation is like. Even if the owner of this team is the famous basketball god Michael Jordan, it will be difficult to qualitatively improve its strength and attractiveness.

This year is the first time the Bobcats have entered the playoffs. There are many reasons for this, but the most important thing is the change in the strength of the team's lineup.

First, they acquired captain Stephen Jackson through a trade at the beginning of the season.

At the same time, the team's outstanding player Gerald Wallace has also grown into a top striker with outstanding strength.

这两人常规赛期间分别能为球队贡献21分5篮板3.6助攻和18分10篮板，是绝对的中坚力量。

In addition to these two people, the Bobcats also have high-quality players such as Raymond Felton, Laga Bell, Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler, which makes the Bobcats lineup highly competitive in the Eastern Conference. force.

In addition, the famous coach Larry Brown, whom Jordan successfully introduced last season, also used his iron-blooded coaching philosophy to bring great changes to the Bobcats.

The combination of various factors resulted in this team outperforming the Raptors led by Bosh, the Pacers led by Danny Granger and the Knicks led by Rose in the playoff race, finishing eighth in the Eastern Conference. Whistle into the playoffs.

It's a pity that entering the playoffs is already the greatest honor for the Bobcats team, because they had no chance against the Bulls in the first round.

Although before the game, head coach Larry Brown took the players and brainwashed them.

"The Bulls do not have Garnett, and their dominance is not what it used to be. As long as we can find a way to limit Wang Chong, we will have a great chance of defeating the Bulls and completing the miracle of eight in eight! Think about it, defeating a team that has won two consecutive championships. Team, personally shattering their dream of three consecutive championship dynasties, what a sense of accomplishment this is! As long as we can do it, we will leave our mark in history!"

Larry Brown's chicken soup for the soul made all the Bobcats players scream, especially Jackson, who had a bad experience with the Warriors, and he was convinced of this.

But when the game started, the Bulls immediately gave the Bobcats a head-on blow, directly waking up their opponents from their frenzied state.

The Bulls rely on nothing else but an almost suffocating defense.

In the first quarter of the game, the score between the two teams was 25:16, with the Bulls leading by 9 points.

In the second quarter of the game, while the Bulls scored 30 points in a single quarter, they continued to control the Bobcats' scoring below 20 points in a single quarter, scoring only 18 points.

At halftime, the Bobcats only scored 34 points. The entire team's offensive efficiency was low. No one could maintain normal offensive efficiency, including the two main players Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace.

Wang Chong's dominance on the defensive end was full, and he had 3 steals and 2 blocks in the half. He provided various assists and defenses, which greatly affected the Bobcats' offensive rhythm.

And Wang Chong is not alone. Gasol was beaten in a fancy way when facing opponents of Howard's level, but this does not mean that he was also like this when facing others.

In this game, Gasol played against Tyson Chandler. As the former center of the Bulls, Chandler's technical characteristics are extremely single, and he has almost no threat on the offensive end. He is just a blue-collar player.

Gasol doesn't need to worry about guarding Chandler, and instead focuses on protecting the basket.

Wang Chong and Gasol joined forces to directly build the Bulls' inside line like an iron rope across the river, unbreakable. The Bobcats' offense was frequently blocked, and they had no choice but to use outside shooting as their main scoring method.

But the Bobcats are not a team that is good at long-range shooting. This season, their three-point shooting percentage is ninth in the league, and their three-point attempts per game are eighth in the bottom.

If this is the case in the regular season, there is no reason why it will get better without entering the playoffs with stronger competition. (End of chapter)
