The Rockets' final game was at home against the New Orleans Hornets on April 26.

The Hornets have the second-to-last record in the league this season, behind Charlotte Bobcats, who have a win rate of just over 10%.

And if nothing else, the Hornets will rely on the second-to-last record to win the 2012 No. 1 pick and sign the 12-year No. 1 pick, the thick eyebrow brother Anthony. Davis.

In the face of the Hornets who want to carry out the mess to the end, the Rockets directly arranged a truce for Da Yao at their home court, and the head coach McHale wanted Wang Chao to rest for a while, if the opponent is the Hornets, even if the two cores are not on the court, the other party will try their best to lose the game through superb acting skills.

Even if it is 10,000 steps back, the Hornets will win this last game, and there will be no problem for the Rockets.

Before this game, the Rockets had a 51-14 record, while below him, the Bulls and Spurs, who had 49 wins, respectively.

Even if both teams win their last game, it will only be 50 wins, and there is no way to surpass the Rockets in terms of record.

It is also interesting to say that the Rockets have risen to prominence under the leadership of Wang Chao, winning nearly 20 more games than in their original history, but the records of the Bulls and Spurs have not been affected by this, and they can still win 50 wins in the regular season.

However, this is also related to the relationship between the Rockets and the two teams, after all, the two sides have played each other a few times in a season, and the impact will not be particularly large.

Wang Chao did not choose to rest in the last game, because there was no need for that, after all, he was not tired at all.

So under the leadership of Wang Chao, the Rockets defeated the New Orleans Hornets 99-84 at home, ending the last game of the regular season.

At this point, the Rockets' record is fixed at 52-14, a 78.8% winning rate, and if you look at the 82-game regular season format, the record will be 65-17.

Of course, the record can't be counted like this, but even so, you can see the strength of the Rockets during the regular season...... To be exact, it should be how exaggerated Wang Chao's dominance in the regular season is.

The Rockets have had just three players in double figures throughout the regular season.

The rest of the players are averaging single-digit points per game.

But in this case, the Rockets have averaged 107 points per game this season, the first in the league!

This is all the credit of Wang Chao alone.

He played in 66 games, averaging 43 minutes per game, contributing 40.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 2.1 steals.

The performance is rare in the history of the league.

Wang Chao has set many incredible records this season.

Of the 40.7 points per game, 44 percent of his points came from three-point shooting.

He made a crazy 401 three-pointers throughout the season, breaking the record for the total number of three-pointers hit in a single season set by him, and what is even more terrifying is that Wang Chao did it in 66 games, hitting an average of 6 three-pointers per game.

If the regular season is extended to the normal 82 games at this rate, the single-season three-point record will become a terrifying 498! With a little effort, reaching 500+ is not a dream!

Wang Chao's three-point shot is very strong, and it has reached the point of almost monopoly, and the scoring efficiency and lethality are far more than those of classic shooters such as Lei in people's traditional perception. Aaron, Reggie. Miller is much exaggerated, and he is an existence that can cast his opponent alive in the real sense.

Because of Wang Chao, other teams in the league have begun to pay more and more attention to the development of three-point tactics, but players who can really do it like Wang Chao, hitting an average of 6 three-pointers per game, no matter how much pressure on the defensive end, the shooting rate can be stably maintained at close to 50% There is no second player at all.

The second-place player on the three-point list this season is Ryan. Anderson, who should have been on the Orlando Magic during this period, joined the New Orleans Hornets early because of the butterfly effect caused by Wang Chao, and started with peace of mind in this rotten team.

But even then, he only made 182 three-pointers all season, putting him ahead of Jason in third-place three-point shooting. Terry added together, and did not shoot as many three-pointers as Wang Chao alone, which shows what kind of concept this is.

Of course, Wang Chao's monopoly position in the field of three-point shooting is mainly because another king of three-point shooting is still sinking at this time.

The 11-12 season was for Stephen. Curry wasn't friendly.

The intense schedule and ongoing injury problems have meant him to play just over two dozen games.

As a player who joined the league in the 09-10 season, Curry's three-season career was not very successful, but next, Curry is about to come to an end.

After 2012, Curry will always maintain a relatively healthy state in the next few seasons, and give full play to his three-point advantage, leading the Warriors and even the entire league to stride into the era of small ball!

Of course, Curry's strength is bound to be exerted in the future, but the person who leads the trend of the times is probably no longer him, but Wang Chao.

The 52-14 regular season successfully allowed the Rockets to end the regular season with the league's first record.

On the record list, the Rockets are ranked first in the West with 52 wins and 14 losses, the Spurs are second with 50 wins and 16 losses, followed by the Oklahoma City Thunder with 45 wins and 21 losses, the Los Angeles Lakers with 40 wins and 26 losses, the Memphis Grizzlies with a 40-26 loss, the Los Angeles Clippers with a 38-28 loss, the Denver Nuggets with a 36-30 loss, and the Dallas Mavericks with a 34-32 loss.

The ninth and tenth records in the West are the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns with 33 wins, respectively, and both teams have only one win difference from the Mavericks, who are ranked eighth in the West, but they are only a little bit behind, which is already a very common phenomenon in the West.

The top eight in the East are 50 wins over the Bulls, 45 wins over the Heat, 41 wins over the Pacers, 38 wins over the Celtics, 38 wins over the Hawks, 36 wins over the Magic, 34 wins over the Knicks and 33 wins over the Philadelphia 76ers.

The defending champions finished with a stunning 36-30 record.

Facts have proved that even if Martin and Lewis are tied together, they can't compare to a Wang Chao.

Missing Wang Chao, while Jamal. Crawford's poached Magic team was woefully lacking on the offensive end during the regular season, and even though they reacquired Turkoglu from the Suns in a mid-season trade, Turkoglu is no longer the talented Turkish Magic he was a few years ago after going around and around.

The house leak coincided with overnight rain, and the physical Howard was affected during the shrinking season, and had to undergo surgery for a herniated disc in April, and the season was reimbursed.

How can a Magic team without Howard be competitive during the playoffs? The Magic team is finished.

In fact, after the All-Star break, the Magic team was already in turmoil, and the team was in turmoil for a time because Howard was hesitant to exercise the player option, and the team's poor record has left Howard in dismay.

Before the trade deadline, in order to stabilize the army's morale and attack the championship, Howard officially announced the execution of the player option after some struggle, and will continue to play for Orlando next season.

But all this has no meaning with Howard's season reimbursement, and according to the historical development process, I am afraid that it will eventually evolve into Howard's switch to the Lakers next season to form Los Angeles F4.

I don't know if Howard at this time, looking back on the hardships of this season, misses the time when he fought side by side with Wang Chao.

Now Wang Chao is thriving in the Rockets, playing a phenomenal game, and making the Rockets from not being favored at the beginning of the season to becoming one of the favorites to win the championship.

If Wang Chao is still there at this time, I'm afraid the biggest favorite to win the championship is still the Orlando Magic, right? ——

With an average of 40.7 points per game, Wang Chao became the scoring champion in the 11-12 season without any suspense, and was far ahead of Kevin Durant, who ranked second on the scoring list with an average of 31.2 points per game.

The 9.5-point gap is the largest score difference in the first and second places in the scoring list since the NBA league merger, even in the 86-87 season, Jordan, who averaged 37.1 points per game, and Dominic Wilkins, who was second in the scoring list at that time, was only 8.1 points.

Of course, the most exaggerated is Chamberlain and Zhang Dashuai.

In the 1961-62 season, Chamberlain averaged an exaggerated 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game, ranking second in points per game, and Elkin Baylor, who averaged 38.3 points per game, was 12.1 points higher.

Howard regained the title of rebounding champion from Kevin Love with 14.5 rebounds per game, but Howard, who averaged 2.1 blocks per game, could only rank third in the blocking list, and was far behind by Ibaka, who averaged 3.7 blocks per game.

Howard's efficiency on the defensive end has obviously declined this season, and the burden of fatigue and injuries caused by the shrinking season has also had a significant impact on Howard, if nothing else, Howard will lose out in the Defensive Player of the Year award, although his defensive ability is still top-notch, but the Magic's poor record and other quality interior defenders such as Jokin . Noah, Mark. The rise of Gasol, Jordan Jr. and others has also made Howard's dominance on interior defense decline in disguise.

As with the course of history, Howard's brief era is far away, but with three NBA championships, Howard is still much better off than it was in his original history.

In the Rockets, in addition to Wang Chao, who averaged 40.7 points per game, the other two players who scored double-doubles were Da Yao with 17.1 points and 8.2 rebounds, and Leonard with 11.2 points and 3.7 rebounds.

At the beginning of April, Da Yao averaged only 16.7 points per game, but in more than a dozen games in April, Da Yao's playing time inadvertently increased slightly.

Protection is protection, Wang Chao's purpose of carefully protecting Da Yao is to let him have enough spare energy to deal with the playoffs, not to really offer Da Yao up like a god.

Therefore, in the game in April, Da Yao's number of shots increased, which can be regarded as an early warm-up for the playoffs, and the result is that before the end of the season, Da Yao increased his average data to 17.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.

In the case of an average playing time of only about 28.7 minutes per game, it is already a very good level to be able to get 17+8 data, and if you compare it horizontally, Howard, who played an average of 38 minutes per game and got 20.6 points and 14.5 rebounds, and Bynum, who played an average of 35.2 minutes per game and scored 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds, is not much different from Da Yao in terms of efficiency.

And these two are two of the best representatives of the league's interior players this season.

As for Leonard, his average of 11.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game has gradually improved as the season has become more dense and intense after the All-Star break.

After a whole season, Leonard has gradually grown from a rookie who doesn't know anything to the backbone of the Rockets' outside defense.

The 11.2 points per game is actually not important at all, and Leonard's top-notch defensive ability on the outside is the main reason why he is the starting small forward of the Rockets.

After entering the regular season, Wang Chao still occasionally uses sparring potions to provide bonuses to the Rockets' players.

However, it is a pity that less than half of the players on the Rockets team currently have a relationship with Wang Chao above 60, including Da Yao and four rookie rookies.

But this can't be helped, even if Wang Chao uses the local tyrant style he learned from Leonard and others, he often invites the whole team to dinner, and after playing a single game scoring performance of more than 50+, he will give his teammates some expensive watches and other gifts, but the relationship value of some players has not been improved.

There is no way to do it, Wang Chao has never expected that he can be liked by everyone.

During the four months of the regular season, the one who was boosted by the effect of the Sparring Potion and improved the most intuitively was the talented Leonard.

The bonus effect of training, coupled with the daily game against opponents of various styles, makes Leonard grow very fast, at least in Wang Chao's view, Leonard has a faint feeling of death entanglement in the future in terms of outside defensive ability.

Now, whenever the Rockets encounter a team with outstanding outside offensive ability, they will arrange for Leonard to mark the opponent throughout the whole process, and every time they will gain something.

While the defensive end has improved greatly, Leonard's main style of play on the offensive end is to run without the ball and cut and shoot from the spot.

Even if he didn't join the Rockets and receive special training from Wang Chao, Leonard initially followed this path with the Spurs.

In the 11-12 season, the Spurs' version of Leonard averaged 7.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, was an important rotation player for the Spurs, and shot 37.6% from beyond the three-point line.

Now the Rockets' enhanced version of Leonard has increased his average scoring to 11.2 points per game, and his three-point shooting rate has also reached 38.6% under the sharpening of the Rockets' massive three-point shooting and magic ball tactics.

With Leonard's progress speed, he can definitely become Wang Chao's right-hand man and the strongest right-hand man next season.

In addition to Leonard, who has improved rapidly, the other three rookies have also grown to varying degrees.

Chandler. Parsons' rookie season averaged 8.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.

This statistic is actually a little worse than the original him, the original Parsons, who became the starting small forward of the Rockets in his rookie season, played in 57 of the 63 games, and averaged 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

It was with this performance that Parsons was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team and became the main forward player for the Rockets next season, getting a lot of playing time and ball possession, and his stats also rose, improving to an average of 15.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

And because of Wang Chao, Parsons has a strong competitor Leonard in the Rockets, and it is logical that he can only become Leonard's backup, and his playing time is much less than original.

Although the stats are not as good as the original, Parsons' strength is definitely stronger than his contemporaries, after all, with the blessing of the sparring potion, his training effect is much better.

More importantly, the presence of Leonard forced Parsons to work hard in training so that he would not be thrown too far away by the opponent, even on the field, Parsons played exceptionally actively, it is undeniable that this kind of competition can indeed promote the progress and efforts of the players more, but the premise is that there must be healthy competition.
