NBA: James wants to team up with me

After the All-Star break, the league once again entered into an intense regular season schedule.

It's just that compared to the compact and intensive schedule of last season's shortened season, the normal 82-game season seems much easier.

At least the Bulls are obviously much more relaxed when it comes to rotation adjustments.

Although there should be no serious injuries among the Bulls' main players in the next three to five years, minor injuries and illnesses are inevitable.

Like Jimmy Butler, he will only play an average of about 66 games in the next three seasons, and his attendance rate is not high.

马克.加索尔则是分别在13-14赛季以及15-16赛季，因伤缺席不少比赛，分别只出战了65场与59场。

Wang Chong knows very well that the NBA has been turned upside down because of his arrival, and many things and people have undergone tremendous changes.

For example, Dayao has not retired yet, and Rose has not suffered serious injuries.

In this regard, it is not impossible that on any given day, these Bulls players who have not suffered serious injuries will suddenly be reimbursed for the season or even suffer major injuries that will affect their subsequent careers.

Therefore, he did not dare to neglect at all. While ensuring the victory of the game, he still wanted to let the team members rest as much as possible to relieve fatigue.

As for Wang Chong himself, he is not false at all.

His comprehensive durability has reached the full value of 99. In theory, his resistance level is no worse than James's.

Although James has many black spots, it is undeniable that his physical fitness, career length and competitive status are all at the top level in history, and it is not even an exaggeration to describe him as the first in history.

Before him, could anyone dare to imagine that when a professional athlete reaches the age of 39, he can still average 26+7+8 per game during the regular season? Although such data also comes at a price, such as defending with eyes on hips, running fast on fast breaks, not returning to defense after the offense, and not shooting three-pointers at critical moments to score two points.

But even if he can do all kinds of tricks, it is not easy to average 25 or 6 points per game.

Comparing it horizontally with the 37-year-old Kobe, he sacrificed the team's record and let a group of promising new stars accompany him on national tours like studying with a prince, and he also failed to average 20+ per game.

Of course, Wang Chong has no intention of imitating James's extreme egoistic style of play. If his competitive level declines in the future and he is unable to serve as the main core of a team, he will only consider two options. One is to retire directly and leave a good reputation. Another option is to transform into a fixed-point shooter, reduce holding the ball and reduce confrontation, and maximize the use of limited physical energy.

What Wang Chong actually wants to say is that theoretically, when his resistance level is comparable to that of James, he has no plans to take a rest unless he really feels very tired and can't play at all.

But this kind of situation has basically never happened since Wang Chong raised his physical strength value to the full value of 99.

The physical ability value of 99 not only strengthens Wang Chong's physical reserves in the game, but also greatly increases the speed of physical recovery. He also recovers significantly faster than other players from physical overdraft.

So when Curry, Gasol and other players were given rotations when facing the league's bottom teams, Wang Chong played full attendance as always.

With Wang Chong as the anchor, the Bulls are almost invincible when they encounter a weak team. The lower limit of Wang Chong's leadership is right there. He has a super offensive ability that can definitely score at critical moments, and if he is serious, he can Comparable to Garnett's defensive ability, it can help the Bulls stabilize the situation and even regain the initiative when the situation is unfavorable.

Wang Chong's style of play has actually been adjusted according to changes in the team.

Like last season, when many people in the team were injured, Wang Chong would choose to increase output power and use more offensive points to help the team win;.

During the 11-12 season, Wang Chong averaged 34.4 points per game, the second highest score in his career, second only to the time he arrived with the Bulls at the beginning of the 05-06 season.

This season, both Curry and Gasol have undergone significant transformations, and their offensive firepower has significantly improved. At the same time, Garnett's departure has also reduced the strength of the Bulls' defense. Therefore, Wang Chong also made appropriate decisions based on the Bulls' situation. Adjustment.

常规赛进入3月份，王崇代表公牛出战60场比赛，场均数据为28.4分11.2篮板4.8助攻，同时还有2.2抢断与2封盖。

Due to the slow pace of the game in the past two seasons, the average points per game in the scoring list are generally not high, so no one noticed it at the beginning.

But as the regular season progressed, more and more people began to notice something was wrong.

Why does Wang Chong's defense seem a bit strong? Averaging more than 2 blocks and steals per game? What level of defense is this?
You must know that there are only a few people who can average more than 2 steals and blocks per game at the same time. Even if you look at the history of the league, these people are all top defensive players, and the most famous one is the Rockets. Championship merits, big dream Hakeem Olajuwon.

In Olajuwon's career, he averaged 2+ blocks and 2+ steals per game in four seasons. His defensive ability at his peak was terrifying. He was also the first player since the emergence of the DPOY award for the best defensive player. Players who have won this award twice and consecutively.

Of course, everyone knows that defensive data and real defensive ability are different. It does not mean that a player’s defensive ability must be strong if he has more steals and blocks. The defensive style that some players are good at is not directly He is good at blocking offense, but as long as he can interfere with the opponent's shooting and cause the offense to fail, he is a good defensive player.

Tim Duncan is one of the best.

As one of the top defensive players in history, Tim Duncan has never won the Defensive Player of the Year award once in his career. As an inside player, he has never won honors such as the rebounding leader or the block leader.

But who dares to say that Duncan's defense is not good? Many media even mention Duncan's name when evaluating the best defensive players in history, and his position is still above his old rival Garnett.

This is because many of Duncan's defensive contributions are not directly reflected in statistics such as blocks. Duncan is calm and rarely takes the risk of blocking his opponent. He prefers to raise his hands high and interfere with the opponent's shooting rhythm, as long as he does not Whether a goal is scored or a shot is blocked will not make any difference to the direction of the game.

So the question is, can Wang Chong's luxurious defensive data be perfectly reflected in the Bulls' defensive system in the game?

The answer is yes. The reason why the Bulls' defensive end is not much worse in the new season than when Garnett was still there is precisely because of Wang Chong's silent efforts on the defensive end.

Gasol is indeed a very good defensive player, but his defense is mainly reflected in his ability to protect the basket. He lacks sufficient mobility due to his heavy weight and cannot help defend like Garnett. , to check for leaks and fill gaps for teammates, improving the defensive level of the entire team.

But Wang Chong can do it, because he has a height and wingspan that is no less than that of Garnett, and is faster and more explosive than Garnett. Although his jumping ability may be better than that of peak Garnett, this does not hinder Wang Chong contributed to the Bulls' defense.

This is also the direction that Wang Chong used the points he had worked so hard to accumulate over the season to strengthen in the summer.

At present, Wang Chong’s main defensive ability values ​​are already very high.

其中包括了从77强化到85的篮板球，86强化到89的封盖，77强化到87的抢断，88强化到92的外线防守，80强化到86的内线防守，87强化到94的协防能力，85强化到88的防守意识以及85强化到90的协防意识。

It can be said that Wang Chong's defensive value is also very high now. Coupled with the blessing of eight defensive badges, as long as Wang Chong is serious and goes all out, his defensive ability can indeed reach the plus level. Nate level degree.

"The terrible Wang Chong, unknowingly, he actually improved again! This season, Wang Chong's defensive contribution is at the forefront of the league, and is even higher than Howard, Duncan and others. In addition, his steals and blocks have all reached 2 With defensive data performance of more than two times, as long as he can continue to finish the season, there will be no suspense in the selection of the best defensive player DPOY this season. "

"The schedule has entered March. The Bulls have currently achieved a record of 3 wins and 50 losses, with a winning rate of 10%. They have basically secured the first place in the league in advance. Wang Chong topped the MVP and DPOY lists, winning the fifth regular season MVP in his career. The trophy is within reach. Can Wang Chong win the fifth MVP trophy in his career and tie him with the basketball god Michael Jordan? "

When almost everyone was discussing this matter, a sudden change occurred.

From the beginning of February, the Miami Heat started a streak of consecutive victories as they did in the original time and space. They achieved a 2-2 record throughout February, and then continued their winning streak in March, constantly harvesting one game after another.

15 consecutive wins...20 consecutive wins...25 consecutive wins!

The Heat, who were unbeaten in a game with great momentum, were chasing the Bulls in terms of record, narrowing the original huge gap in the blink of an eye, becoming the only team in the league that could cling to the Bulls in terms of record.

With this exciting winning streak, James' evaluation on the MVP list has also risen. In terms of statistics, James's average of 27.4 points, 8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game is not inferior to Wang Chong.

Now, the regular season MVP selection has become confusing.

Although Wang Chong is definitely better in terms of high-level statistics and overall contribution on both offense and defense, many rational fans know that sometimes the MVP is not awarded to the stronger player.

If not, last season's regular season MVP should have been Wang Chong instead of James.

Unfortunately, the MVP vote itself is cast by local media reporters in the United States. In the case of a huge disparity, they cannot completely abandon the reporter's public and impartial status and forcibly choose the worse one.

But when the gap between the two is not that big and you can find some excuses to take a roundabout way, then it will be easier to handle.

Wang Chong, who has won the regular season MVP four times, has already made American media people feel aesthetic fatigue. More importantly, in their opinion, Wang Chong, who has given up his American citizenship, is not as pleasing to James as he is.

Therefore, as long as there is not much difference between the two players' data performance and the team's record at the end of the regular season, it is normal to vote for James as the first choice.

Wang Chong is also mentally prepared for this. This fifth regular season MVP will definitely not be that easy to win. Unless the Bulls can win 70+ games again, he will have to change a team and lead that team. Only when the team is reborn and has the best record in the league can they win the regular season MVP without any doubt.

But having said that, it is amazing enough. When Wang Chong took a closer look at the schedule, he discovered that the Heat's 28th game after starting their winning streak happened to be an away game against the Bulls.

In the original time and space, the Heat had a 27-game winning streak that shocked the entire league, the second consecutive winning streak in history, and it was the Chicago Bulls who ended the Heat's winning streak in the 28th game.

But one Bull is not the other Bull. The lineups of the two teams are completely different, and because of the butterfly effect, the regular season schedules of the two teams are quite different from the original ones.

Unexpectedly, he could still encounter this situation, which made Wang Chong lament the ability of history to correct itself.

Since God's will is this, Wang Chong would not mind imitating the original Bulls and giving the Heat a heavy blow in the midst of a winning streak.

Sure enough, the Heat defeated the Charlotte Bobcats at home on March 3, and then defeated the Orlando Magic away from home on March 24. The winning streak officially reached 3 consecutive games, and the next step was to challenge the Chicago Bulls away from home on March 25. the match of.

This is the third meeting between the Heat and the Bulls this season. The previous two meetings between the Heat and the Heat ended in defeat. But this time, the Heat came with a 27-game winning streak. They were aggressive and were about to win a game at the Bulls' home court. victory.

The Bulls, as always, have a dismissive attitude towards the Heat.

In the previous game, the Bulls defeated the Timberwolves 104:97 in an away game. At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked Wang Chong.

"In the next game, you will face the Miami Heat, which has recently won 27 consecutive victories. Facing this unstoppable Heat, which has recently won consecutive victories, do you and your Bulls have the ability to end your opponent's winning streak and win the game? Confidence?”

Faced with this question, Wang Chong smiled dismissively. "Winning consecutive games, unstoppable? Sorry, with all due respect, the Heat were able to win 27 games in a row just because they were lucky enough not to encounter us during their winning streak. If they had played a few games later, their winning streak might have ended. Achieved more than 30 wins.”

"But unfortunately, when they met us, their winning streak only ended at 27 consecutive wins."

As soon as Wang Chong said this, the reporters at the scene were excited.

Big news again! Sure enough, every time Wang Chong confronts the Heat's Big Three, it will be the most explosive news! (End of chapter)
