Chapter 152: Wang Chao: Just TM, your name is Adu?

"24 points and 20 assists vs 14 points and 21 assists, an unexpected matchup, Wang Chao assisted against Nash, helping the team's six players score double-doubles to end the Suns' winning streak."

"With five consecutive wins in the opening game, the Magic team is getting better, and the new role of player Wang Chao is eye-catching, scoring and assisting, which perfectly fits the team's tactical system!"

"Nash: Wang Chao's passing ability is already at the level of a top point guard, and the speed at which he has improved is astounding."

In the battle with the Suns, Wang Chao's ability to assist completely appeared in the audience's sight, and with the 20 assists in this game, after five regular season games, Wang Chao's average assists per game soared directly to 10.8 times, plus an average of 28.6 points per game, and he actually reached an average of two doubles per game for a short time.

Averaging 10.8 assists per game also puts Wang Chao in second place on the assists list, behind Nash.

Of course, the regular season is only a few games, and the average game is greatly affected by the occasional game or two.

As the game progresses, there will be a period of stabilization for everyone's stats, and the inflated stats will gradually decrease.

Wang Chao's situation probably falls into this list.

The wide vision that God's perspective brings to Wang Chao is indeed very good, allowing him to become the top passer in the league after some hard work.

But Wang Chao's main role in the Magic team is still a scorer, and his own scoring efficiency is more important than assisting teammates.

It's not so easy to juggle both scoring and assists, and even James has only averaged double-doubles in assists per game in his entire career.

Aside from the players in the future league who deliberately brush assists in order to make their stats look beautiful, there are very few players in the league who can really average double-doubles in assists per game, and at this stage, only Nash, Kidd, Paul, Delon, and Rondo are five point guards with such ability.

Of course, Wang Chao can do it if he wants to, but it will inevitably affect his average points per game.

He already knew this in the previous five games.

The average of 28.6 points per game seems to be very high, but it is significantly inferior to Wang Chao's average of 32.6 points per game last season, and this score is currently only ranked fifth on the scoring list, with Kobe Bryant with 29 points, Anthony with 30.1 points, James with 32 points and Durant with 35.4 points.

If the most surprising players after the start of the 09-10 season, one is Wang Chao, who averages 28+10 per game, and the other is Durant, who averages 35.4 points per game.

Last season, Durant's performance was remarkable, and his average of 25.3 points per game also made him successfully ranked in the top ten on the scoring list, as the second season of his career, Durant's performance surprised everyone at the same time, but also recognized his ability, many media have commented that Durant is a rare super scorer in the league in recent years, and the future is promising.

But no one expected that after the start of the new season, Durant actually improved so much, averaging 35.4 points per game in 5 games, and the Thunder, which was at the bottom of the league last season, also achieved a 3-2 record because of Durant's strong performance.

The strong rise of Durant makes people think of the previous Wang Chao.

is also a forward, Durant's style of play and Wang Chao still look more similar, both focus on mid-to-long-range shooting, but Durant is better at mid-range shooting, and Wang Chao's logo is three-point shots.

Of course, this is just the surface, as long as you know a little about penalty kicks, a careful analysis of the characteristics of the two will find that the styles are actually completely different.

Durant, who is registered to be 2.08 meters tall, but actually looks significantly more than 2.10 meters, is much more than Wang Chao in terms of height and arm span, which also makes Durant almost defenseless when making a pull-up jump shot on the offensive end, at least on the front line, there is basically no player who can match his height and speed can keep up with him.

In contrast, although Wang Chao is inferior to Durant in static talent, his dynamic talent in speed, strength, and bounce is significantly better than Durant.

People have now gradually forgotten what Wang Chao was like at the beginning, but now Wang Chao's physical fitness is already at the top level in the league, and among the forward players, I am afraid that only a few players such as James and Anthony can compete with him.

And on this basis, Wang Chao's accuracy outside the three-point line is beyond the reach of players in the whole league. Aaron is no exception.

The strength and weakness of the two scorers who have risen in the past two years have also caused rounds of heated discussions in the league.

Is this the kind of question that still needs to be considered? Definitely Kevin. Durant! He has now become the league's top scorer at the age of 21, and there is still a lot of room for growth and improvement in the future! Although Wang Chao is also very powerful, after all, he is 26 years old, 5 years older than Durant, and the future belongs to Kevin. ”

"Don't take Kevin. Durant is blowing too high, the regular season has only played 5 games, he now has an average of 35 points per game, it does not mean that he can maintain an average of 35 points per game after the 82 games of the regular season, maybe he can't even reach 30+ points as the game progresses, this kind of thing has long been commonplace in the league. ”

"Wang Chao is different from him, he has proven his scoring ability last season, 32.6 points in the regular season and was crowned the scoring champion, and he also has 30+ scoring performances in the playoffs, especially in the seven games of the finals against Kobe Bryant, who is not inferior to Kobe Bryant's defense in the face of top outside defenders like Artest, how can this compare?"

Fans on both sides are arguing online, and in fact, the teams they belong to will soon meet.

On Nov. 6, the Magic replayed the Pistons at home, winning 103-95, and then the team left for Oklahoma, the Thunder's new home court, where the two teams will play on Nov. 8.

Wang Chao vs Durant, this is a battle that many fans are interested in, who is better in the battle between the two new generation scorers?

……

Before the game, a group of Thunder players supported Durant in a very high-profile manner.

The most high-profile of these is Durant's best partner, good brother Russell. Westbrook.

When a reporter asked him, "Who do you think has the stronger scoring ability, Durant or Wang Chao?" He replied almost without thinking.

"Kevin, of course, I'm teammates with him, so I can't get to know his scoring ability, he's amazing talent on the offensive end, he can get the ball to the basket no matter what kind of defense he faces, and he's definitely going to be the best scorer in the future!"

In the second season of Westbrook's career, he has become the most reliable right-hand man around Durant, although last season under the combination of the two, the Thunder only won 23-59 and the league's bottom record, but both the two brothers and the Thunder management are extremely confident in the future development path, as long as the two grow up thoroughly, the team will definitely become the top team in the league and have the strength to win the championship!

The vision of the Thunder team management is quite vicious, but they probably never dreamed that the bright future did not last long in the Thunder team.

When the Thunder reached the Finals in the 11-12 season, the whole league thought that the future was for this young team, but it turned out that for the sake of millions, they voluntarily let James go. Harden, and then Durant also took the initiative to embark on a "difficult" path.

The unwilling Thunder stud and teamed up Westbrook + Paul. The Big Three combination of George + Anthony still hasn't made the Thunder rise again.

Of course, that's all for later.

……

Durant, as a party, was quite low-key in an interview with the media.

"Wang Chao is my senior, when I first entered the league, the coach told me to learn to play like Dirk and Wang, he is the top scorer in the league, and he has a three-point shot that everyone can't match, these are the things I need to continue to learn......

On the surface, he complimented Wang Chao, but Durant didn't think so in his heart.

What is Wang Chao?

He was the star of the 07 year, and he was regarded by the team as the core of the team as soon as he entered the league, and he averaged 20+ points per game in the first season of his career.

In contrast, Wang Chao is only a second-round rookie, and he has been in the league for many years before finally making some achievements.

Durant doesn't think he's worse than the other at all.

Now there are a lot of doubts about him from the outside world, especially when he is placed in a position compared with Wang Chao, there are obviously more people who are optimistic about Wang Chao, which makes Durant, who has always been cautious, quite unhappy.

"Hmph, just use this game to prove to the whole league that I am a stronger scorer than Wang Chao!"

What Durant didn't know was that Wang Chao had the same idea in his heart.

The media is right, Durant will become an icon of the league's top scorers in the future, winning the scoring title four times and is also recognized as the most scoring player since Jordan.

Not surprisingly, this season Durant will be the scoring champion for the first time in his career with an average of 30.1 points per game.

Of course, this is not an accident, but if there is no accident, an accident is coming.

In the three seasons from 2009 to 2012, Durant won the scoring title for three consecutive years, and became the first player since Jordan to win the scoring title three times in a row.

But in fact, in addition to the 30.1 points in the 09-10 season, Durant's last two scoring titles averaged 27.7 points and 28 points per game, respectively.

These two scoring champions are the lowest scoring champions after 2,000 years, although this is mainly related to the rhythm of the league's game, in these two seasons all players have dropped in points per game, not only Durant alone, but in general, these two scoring titles are relatively simpler to obtain.

Wang Chao doesn't plan to miss these scoring champions.

As a player who is positioned to score, scoring ability is the key factor to measure Wang Chao's ability and status, even if he now has a certain ability in passing assists, but the main business is still scoring after all.

Why is Jordan's position as the No. 1 man in league history as stable as Mount Tai and no one can shake it? Six championships are the main reason, but five regular-season MVPs and 10-time scoring champions are also important yardsticks.

If you can, Wang Chao wants to be on par with Jordan in the scoring title as much as possible, which may be a bit difficult, after all, the 26-year-old Wang Chao has just won the first scoring title in his career, even if he has won the scoring title every season since this year, it will take until he is 36 years old to catch up with Qiao's gang leader.

Of course, the difficulty is only a little, after all, Wang Chao is open, and among his natural skills, there is an upgraded version of steel and iron bones, in addition to strengthening physical fitness to avoid injury, it also has the effect of prolonging his career.

Not surprisingly, Wang Chao's condition will not be worse than James's, or even more exaggerated.

The future 38-year-old James can still average 30+ points per game, and Wang Chao feels that he should not be too bad at the age of 36.

But this is only an ideal state after all, not to mention Durant, there are many outstanding scorers in the league in the future who will become fierce opponents of Wang Chao, including Harden, who averaged 36 points per game in the 18-19 season.

Therefore, Wang Chao believes that at this stage, when there is only one opponent in the league with the top scoring ability, it is the best judgment to reap the scoring champion honor as much as possible.

And today, Wang Chao is going to teach Durant a lesson first.

"Don't underestimate the three-point shot, this thing can really shoot people."

At the start of the game, Howard jumped the ball to outperform Thunder center Nenard. Kostic, Magic ball possession.

Nelson dribbled past half court and handed the ball to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao's counterpart happens to be Durant.

Durant has never been selected to the best defensive team in his career, but his defense is actually not bad, especially outside defense, the advantage of height and arm span allows him to cover the air of most players just by raising his hand, completely blocking the shooting space, and as a small forward, Durant's speed is not slow, but he will suffer when facing small guards.

Of course, he also has a lot of flaws, such as a serious lack of confrontation ability, and when facing a strong striker, he can only defend against outside projection, and he can't carry the opponent at all.

Wang Chao, whose strength has reached 86, is definitely a representative of strength among forwards, and only a few players in the league such as James and Artest can compete with him in terms of strength.

But Wang Chao is not ready to use his strength to eat the other party when facing Durant.

After flexibly dribbling the ball under the crotch, Wang Chao suddenly held the ball and accelerated to break through to Durant's right side.

Durant immediately adjusted his pace and tried to keep up with Wang Chao.

But as soon as his footsteps moved, Wang Chao withdrew the basketball, stepped back and jumped out of the three-point line to shoot.

Durant's reaction was very timely, he braked at the first time and stopped stepping forward to defend, and his slender arms also successfully covered Wang Chao's half-shot sight, but he still couldn't stop Wang Chao's shot.

Although he is at a disadvantage in static talent, Wang Chao also has 2.06 meters after all, which is also very high among small forwards.

The basketball crosses a perfect parabola in the air and then hits the net.

"Just TM, your name is Adu? You're pretty rampant! ”

After the goal, Wang Chao glanced at Durant.

"I'll let you know today how powerful Brother Wang Chao is!"
