Seeing that Durant deliberately brushed points to surpass himself in the scoring list, Wang Chao himself laughed first.

Interesting, come with me? Do you think I won't get points?

As an emperor who has traveled here since 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 wants, it is not impossible to average 35 points per game this season, but that will not benefit the Magic team, there are many players on the team who need the ball to play their strength, and focusing all their opportunities on Wang Chao alone will only hurt the team.

Like Harden in the 18-19 season, Kobe Bryant in the 05-06 season and Jordan in the 86-87 season, they are all helpless under special circumstances, and there is really no other player in the team who can output stably, only their continuous offense can help the team win.

The current Magic team is obviously not in that kind of embarrassing situation, so Wang Chao's average points per game does not need to reach that high.

But if someone robs him, that's a different story.

On April 12, the Magic and the Thunder started the game almost front and back, with the Magic facing the Indiana Pacers away, and the Thunder also playing away against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are very serious about winning or losing this game, and the remaining two games are a card battle for the Trail Blazers, and each additional win could move them up a level in the Western Conference standings, which is crucial for teams that want to make some breakthroughs in the playoffs.

On the other hand, the desire to win on the Thunder's side is not very strong, and winning or losing is the same anyway, so at the beginning of the game, the whole Thunder team focused on helping Durant create opportunities and let him score as many points as possible.

Perhaps because of the pressure, Durant was not in good shape at the beginning of the game, and his first few shots were all off, but after all, he is recognized as the strongest scoring player in the league in the future.

Durant, who scored just four points on 2-of-8 shooting in the first quarter, scored 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting and 4-of-4 free throws in the second quarter, and scored 16 points at the end of the first half.

In the third quarter of the second half, Durant made persistent efforts, made 10 shots in a single quarter, hit 4 balls, and made 5 of 6 free throws, and his personal score increased to 29 points after the third quarter!

"Very good, according to this rhythm, if you score about 10 points in the fourth quarter, you can score 40+ in the whole game! There is still a chance for the scoring champion! ”

When he sat off the court and rested, the sweaty Durant still had a slight smile on his face, turning a blind eye to the fact that the opponent had opened up a double-digit point difference on the court at this time.

While still thinking about what method to use to continue to score efficiently in the fourth quarter, Durant suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the team's assistant coach on the side.

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

Assistant coach Jack, who heard Durant's words, had a stiff expression, and said hesitantly: "I forgot my phone in the locker room, let's look at it after the game is over." ”

Durant, who was in a good mood, didn't notice Jack's expression, he turned his head to look at the other side, near the audience near the bench position, there was a fan who was playing something with his mobile phone, so he leaned over and said, "Hey buddy, can you use your phone temporarily?" ”

Looking at Durant, who was still not giving up, Jack opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything, his eyes looked at the other companions around him, whether it was the coach or the bench players, they had already noticed this scene, but no one spoke.

Forget it, let him see it for himself......

Moments later, Durant returned the phone to the fans, but by the time he handed it out, his hands were already shaking.

In 2010, it was the era of the rise of smart phones, and Apple 4 was about to be released in June, which raised the expectations of Quanmi and even the world for smart phones to the extreme, and the Internet industry related to smart phones is also developing rapidly.

Durant just typed Wang Chao's name into Google a little, and the next moment there was a myriad of relevant information, the most conspicuous of which was the news that was updated just a few minutes ago.

"The state is bursting! Wang Chao scored 37 points in the half, and his personal score exceeded 50 points before the game ended in the third quarter! Is there anyone else on earth who can stop him? ”

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

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

Durant's career-high single-game scoring record to date is 47 points against the New Orleans Hornets on February 17, 2009!

Now in the third season of Durant's career, he has yet to score a 50+ point in more than 230 games.

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 done his best 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 actually like this?

Durant, who reappeared in the fourth quarter of the game, was sleepwalking throughout the whole game, changing the positive and efficient performance of the first two quarters, and finally scored only 5 points on 2-of-5 shooting, and also fixed the individual score of this game at 34 points.

34 points in the game, which is already a high score, even Kobe, James and others will be in the sports newspaper of the day if they score 34 points in the game.

Durant's 34 points in a single game also appeared on the front page of the day, but it was just used as a background board.

"In the battle for the scoring champion, Wang Chao slashed 61 points vs Durant 34 points, the overall situation has been decided."

"Jiang is still old and spicy, Wang Chao scored 61 points in a single game, consolidating the position of the scoring king, and Durant was powerless."

"After this battle, Wang Chao's average score per game rose to 31.8 points, Durant's was 31.3, there is only one game left in the regular season, assuming that Wang Chao only has 20 points in the final game of the regular season, his average score per game will also be 31.67 points, Durant wants to surpass Wang Chao needs to cut 60 points in the last game, so that his average score per game is 31.68 points, and will surpass Wang Chao by 0.01 points to win the scoring crown, but if Wang Chao scores 30 points in the closing game, Durant will score 70 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 is a question that does not need to be debated at all.

Durant's career-high score so far is only 47, so why did he score 70 points?

On April 14, the Magic hosted the Philadelphia 76ers, the final game of the Magic's 09-10 season, and before that, the Magic had a 69-win record, officially tying the Lakers' second-highest all-time record of 69-13.

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

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

The Magic didn't disappoint the fans either.

At 125:111, a hearty victory ended all the journeys of the regular season, and officially brought the Magic's record this season to 70-12!

Although I know that the Magic team has a high probability of winning the game against the 76ers, when the result really appears, it still makes many people feel incredible.

That's 70 wins in the regular season! Looking at the history of the NBA, only the Bulls have achieved the miracle of 70+ wins in a single season for so many years, and now the Magic team has actually achieved a shocking record that the Lakers during the OK combination and showtime have not been able to do.

On the same day, all the front-page headlines were the news that the Magic team won 70-12 in the regular season, and major media rushed to report that the evaluation of Wang Chao and Howard's super magic combination skyrocketed with an extremely exaggerated trend, although it has only won one championship at present, it has surpassed the OK combination and become the best combination in the league recognized by most fans after Jordan Pippen!

In this regard, before others could speak, O'Neill took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction in an interview with the media.

"The Super Magic Combo surpasses the OK Combo? Are you kidding? It seems that you have forgotten how strong I was with Kobe Bryant at the peak, Wang Chao was at most a tie with Kobe in terms of scoring ability, his defense was far inferior to Kobe, as for Dwight's ......, it was not me who bragged, I could beat him with one hand at my peak! ”

O'Neal didn't brag about this, even in his best seasons, Howard was a super blue-collar player at best, and the main strength is that his speed, explosiveness and bounce are not inferior to those of defenders, giving him a terrifying defensive radius and ability to help defend blocks.

Let him face O'Neal at his peak, and the end game will not be much better than Mutombo, after all, with Howard's tonnage, he can't carry O'Neal at all, and the opponent only needs to pout his ass to the basket to carry Howard to force a dunk to score.

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'Neal and Kobe.

But the Magic are clearly a better team than the Lakers under the OK combination, at least in the '09-10 season.

In the 99-00 season, the Lakers played the best 67-win record during the OK combination period, and in the playoffs all the way to win the championship, in addition to O'Neal and Kobe, the third scoring point in the team was Glenn Rice, who averaged 15.9 points per game, and only these three scored double-doubles in the team, and only Fisher, Rick Fox and the dying Ron Harper were a little stronger in the team.

In contrast, the Magic roster not only has Nelson, Afralo and Channing on the starting lineup. Frye and other outstanding players, and there is Jamal on the bench. Crawford, Dragic, Ariza and other players, the overall strength is not at all comparable to that Magic team.

The Magic team has five players who shoot more than 40% from three-point range, including Wang Chao, Crawford, Nelson, Afflalo and Channing. Fry.

And Dragic, Ariza and Barnes, the three main role players, although the three-point shooting rate did not reach 40%, it is not low, Dragic three-point shooting rate of 37%, Ariza three-point shooting rate of 33.4%, Barnes 31.9%, are all players who can not easily let go of open shots.

The Magic team's star-studded tactical system has been developed to the extreme with Wang Chao's purposeful reinforcements!

In addition, the regular season is not a seven-game playoff game, and in a long season, the players' own performance, the team's tactical system, and a variety of other factors off the court can all be key to a team's record.

Although the Lakers only won 67 games in the 99-00 season, and failed to get 60+ wins in the subsequent two consecutive championships, the main reason is not that the players are not strong enough, but the problem of attendance.

During the 67-win period, O'Neal played 79 games in the regular season and missed 3 regular season games, while Kobe Bryant only played 66 games, missing as many as 16 games, and in the following two seasons, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant did not play a full season, and at least one missed more than 15 games in each season.

It's easy to see how big a difference a lack of a top star can have for a team.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Magic's regular season results can surpass the Lakers during the OK combination.

The 09-10 season was the last season in which Howard stayed healthy and played full-time, and after this season, Howard's form was about to start to decline due to injuries.

Fortunately for the 10-11 season, Howard only missed 4 games due to minor injuries, and played 78 games in the regular season, averaging a career-best 22.9 points and 14.1 rebounds per game.

But with the arrival of the 11-12 season, Howard suffered a serious back injury and was reimbursed for the season, and then the Warcraft joined the Lakers and moved to the Rockets, Hawks, Hornets and other teams, but the injury led to a decline in explosiveness, so that Howard no longer has the terrifying defensive ability of his prime, and the offensive end has been unable to develop a stable scoring weapon, so that his era is gone.

The topic is far away.

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, ranking only fourth in the Magic team in terms of average shots per game, and he is completely a super blue-collar team to contribute to the Magic team, although he averages only 17.1 points per game, but the data of 14.6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks at the same time defends the rebounding king and the blocking king, highlighting his contribution on the defensive end.

Playing 82 games and not missing a game also ensured that the Magic's defensive system never collapsed.

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

There is no suspense about 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, he will not be absent.

This self-confidence comes from the system's innate skills.

This talent can't provide Wang Chao with even a little bit of strength on the field, but it allows him to have a tougher and less injury-prone physique than James.

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