The 2012-13 regular season officially ended on April 18.

This is the first full season after the NBA shutdown ended, but it has brought too many shocks to audiences across all NBA leagues.

In the offseason, the Big Three of the Old Green Army disintegrated, Garnett and Ray Allen switched to the Rockets and Heat, respectively, and then the Lakers formed a shocking F4 combination that completely changed the league.

After entering the regular season, the Rockets and the Heat did show great dominance, with the Rockets starting a 19-game winning streak, while the Heat won a 24-game winning streak in the middle of the season.

In fact, the Heat should have won 27 consecutive wins this season, but unfortunately, in this 27-game winning streak, there was a game against the Rockets, which faced the Rockets led by Harden in the original history, and the Heat, who were in good shape, of course won easily, but in the face of Wang Chao, the Rockets configured by the Big Yao Garnett triumvirate were not so easy to win.

As a result, a 27-game winning streak turned into a 24-game winning streak.

Even so, the Heat finished the season with a 65-17 record, second in the league behind the 72-10 Rockets.

Of course, it was the Rockets that brought the biggest shock to the fans.

The 72-10 record tied the best regular season record in the history of the Bulls league, which made everyone feel incredible, and at the same time, Wang Chao unknowingly replicated another feat!

In 82 regular season games, Wang Chao played in full attendance, playing an average of 40.4 minutes per game, and could contribute 30.3 points.

In addition to his personal score of 30.3 points, he won the scoring crown for the fifth consecutive season, and also had 10.6 rebounds and 10.1 assists, achieving a triple-double in the regular season!

The average triple-double data per game is more shocking than the average of 40+ points per game.

Looking at the history of the league, there is only one person who has ever averaged a triple-double per game in a season, and that is the big O in ancient times, Oscar. Robertson, who averaged a triple-double of 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game in 1961-62, was the only player in the league to achieve this feat.

At that time, the NBA had not yet completed the merger, and the chaos was a period of famine, with players ranging from good to bad, and there were often some exaggerated statistics, and the basketball emperor Chamberlain's 100 points per game, averaging 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game were also from the same season.

Considering the factors of the times, Big O's average triple-double per game is the same as Chamberlain's average of 50+25 per game, which is a miracle that is difficult to reproduce.

Who would have thought that today, 50 years later, someone has once again successfully achieved an average triple-double and led the team to win the first record in history with 72 wins and 10 losses!

"A miracle on the basketball court in the new era! Wang Chao, the most dominant basketball player after Jordan! ”

"A superstar across the ages, averaging a triple-double per game in the regular season, 72-10 and aiming for the championship!"

According to the survey, more than 90% of fans believe that Wang Chao will win the Most Valuable Player Award in the regular season, achieving four consecutive hegemony for this award! Become the first player in history to win four consecutive regular season MVPs! ”

Wang Chao's strength, even the strongest 12-13 James had to avoid its edge.

This season's James, under the butterfly effect, averaged more than the original 12-13 season, playing 78 games, he could get 27.8 points, 8 rebounds and 8.3 assists, and the efficiency value was as high as 31.8, even surpassing the 08-09 season when he won the regular season MVP for the first time.

However, Wang Chao is even more exaggerated than him, with an average data of 30+10+10, Wang Chao's efficiency value reaches an astonishing 32.3, and it is unique in the history of the regular season!

Of course, although the algorithm of efficiency value PER is the most advanced scientific calculation method at present, it still cannot fully measure the real strength of a player.

But Wang Chao's efficiency value is the first in the history of a single season in the regular season, coupled with an average triple-double per game, coupled with the team's 72-10 record, and with the blessing of multiple halo buffs, if the regular season MVP can still be snatched away by James, then the league's shady curtain will be too blatant! ——

The entire league and the world are marveling at the miracle that Wang Chao and his Rockets have created this season.

The Rockets have a 72-10 record, are invincible without any opponents, and are ranked first in the West with absolute strength.

In second place in the West is the Oklahoma City Thunder with 57 wins, and the Thunder, who were supposed to win 60 games this season, lost more games due to the rise of the Rockets.

The sudden rise of the Rockets has a much greater impact on the Western teams than the Eastern teams, after all, the Eastern teams will only meet the Rockets twice in the entire regular season, just like the Heat, although they lost to the Rockets in both games, the overall record will not be particularly significantly affected.

The Western teams are different, they have to play against the Rockets four times respectively, and the Rockets can get 72 wins, and these Western teams have made great efforts, which has also led to the overall decline in the record of the Western teams compared to the original 12-13 season.

The Thunder are second with 57 wins, the Spurs are third with 56 wins, the Nuggets are fifth with 55 wins, and the Los Angeles Clippers are fifth with 52 wins.

The Memphis Grizzlies, who are sixth in the West, have a record of 48 wins, followed by the seventh-ranked Golden State Warriors with 48 wins, the eighth-placed Dallas Mavericks with 42 wins, and the seventh-place Warriors in the West are six games short.

From ninth to eleventh in the West, they are the Lakers, Jazz and Trail Blazers, and several teams have similar records, all have good strength but missed the playoffs.

Among them, the Lakers are obviously the most disappointing, after all, the combination of super F4 in the regular season made everyone expect them to shine in the playoffs, but they didn't expect to end up in such a situation, Kobe Bryant fought to rupture his Achilles tendon in order to impact the playoffs, but still failed to help the Lakers reach the playoffs, and Howard, the league's No. 1 center, was also disappointed.

"And some of the best centers in the history of the Lakers, such as Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, George. Compared with McCann, Howard seems to be unworthy of the name, his role during the Magic team is actually a super blue-collar worker, never the team's offensive starting point, and his role on the court is only defense, rebounding and blocking and dismantling, the main core of the Magic team can win three consecutive championships is Wang Chao. ”

"After this season, how the Lakers will renew Howard's contract will become the biggest question, although Howard's performance is disappointing, but looking at the league today, he is still the best, the most promising star center, even next year, Howard is only 28 years old, there is still room and opportunities for improvement."

That being said, everyone can see that due to the team's record and Howard's cynical and professional attitude on the court, the contradiction between Kobe and Howard has become increasingly acute, and whether the Lakers can keep this super center is really not certain.

In particular, Kobe Bryant, who ruptured his Achilles tendon, is estimated to recuperate for nearly a year, and everyone knows what this level of injury means for a 35-year-old veteran, whether Kobe Bryant can return to his pre-injury state, and how many years his career can continue in the future, is Howard Ken staying for this Lakers team that will not have any championship hopes at least next year? ——

On the western side, there are generally teams whose record has declined significantly because of the Rockets, but there are still a few teams whose record has risen instead of falling.

For example, the Golden State Warriors, who are ranked seventh in the West, and the Dallas Mavericks, who are eighth in the West.

These two teams are the direct beneficiaries of the butterfly effect brought by Wang Chao.

On the Warriors' side, Wang Chao originally wanted to cut off Thompson, or find a way to trade Curry, who was not valued by the Warriors at this time, but for various reasons, the two plans could not be reached, not only that, but the Warriors also selected DeMarcus in 2010 because of the draft change caused by Wang Chao. Cousins.

As a result, the Warriors' current starting lineup is Curry, Thompson, Barnes, David Lee plus Cousins, and Drummond is on the bench. Green and Bogut.

Cousins can contribute an average of 27+11 double-doubles per game in the peak period of the future, although he only played the playoffs in the 18-19 season when he gave up 5 million to the Warriors in the league sensation caused by the self-defeating 5 million defections, and his ability to lead the team has been questioned, but even if it is a data brush, he can get an average of nearly 25+10 data per game for six consecutive seasons, and it is definitely an outstanding brush.

Cousins averaged 16.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game with the Warriors this season, the second-highest scoring point in the Warriors after Curry, and also averaged 14.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game by David Lee, a double-double who was supposed to average 18.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game.

The Warriors are undoubtedly stronger than they were originally in, although the team's current defensive system is still not established, but next season with the rise of Green, the return of Bogut from injury and the defection of the anti-skeleton Iguodala, the Warriors' defensive system will be established, and the offensive ability of Curry and Thompson Splash Brothers will be improved, which will raise the strength of the Warriors to a new level.

Another team that has undergone a qualitative change in strength is the Dallas Mavericks.

Originally, this season's Mavericks could only rank tenth in the West and missed the playoffs at all.

But also because of Wang Chao and the Rockets, the Mavericks robbed the Thunder's sixth man, James. Harden, and then Harden, like he was with the Rockets, quickly showed his ability to score as soon as the regular season began, becoming the Mavericks' new offensive core.

At the end of this season, Harden averaged 25.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, a slight decline in points per game compared with the Rockets at the same time, but this is because the Mavericks also have a 35-year-old nowitzki, who still has a good competitive state.

Although the Nuo Tianwang was defeated in the finals by the Magic team led by Wang Chao and Howard in the 10-11 season, he failed to lead the team to win the championship single-core, and his historical status is very different from that of the same period.

But his strength has not declined in the slightest, and his style of play as an interior player is also Harden's favorite type, after all, Harden's strongest season in the future, the Rockets' power forward position is Ryan. Anderson's weakened version of Nowitzki, and P.J. Tucker's three-point range, is an interior player.

In Wang Chao's impression, Nowitzki's state can be maintained for three to four seasons, until the 15-16 season, when Nowitzki, who is nearly 38 years old, can still contribute 18.3 points and 6.5 assists per game in the regular season, with a shooting rate of 44.8% and a three-point shooting rate of about 37%.

As long as the Mavericks can bring in another strong player around Harden and Nowitzki in the next few years, they will inevitably be a strong team in the West.

In contrast, the changes for Eastern teams are not as great.

The final regular season record in the East is 65 wins for the Heat, 52 wins for the Knicks for second place, 48 wins over the Pacers for third, followed by 47 wins over the Nets, 44 wins over the Bulls, 42 wins over the Hawks, 38 wins over the Bucks, and 35 wins over the Celtics.

The glorious Celtics of yesteryear, in Garnett and Ray. After Allen left, only Pierce and Rondo remained in the team, although Jason was also signed. Terry and Jeff. Green and other players fill the vacancy, but the strength is definitely not comparable to the old Big Three period, the result is that the regular season only achieved a 35-47 record, as a regular season win rate of only 42.6% of the team, so that they can enter the playoffs, I have to sigh that the competitiveness of the East is really too low in the West.

The East and West record rankings are announced, which means that the playoff matchup list is determined.

Four games in the West, Rockets vs. Mavericks, Thunder vs. Warriors, Spurs vs. Grizzlies, Nuggets vs. Clippers.

Four games in the East, Heat vs. Celtics, Knicks vs. Bucks, Pacers vs. Hawks, Nets vs. Bulls.

In terms of the data list, on the scoring list, Wang Chao's average score of 30.3 points per game has dropped a lot compared with last season, but he still won the scoring championship for the fifth consecutive season.

Below him, Durant averaged 29.1 points per game, Anthony 28.8 points, Kobe Bryant 28.2 points, and James 27.8 points......

Because Wang Chaoyuan is far from riding alone, Anthony and Durant have not staged a battle for the scoring title this season, and there is no difference between second and third in itself, what is there to fight for?

Howard won the rebounding title with 12.2 rebounds per game, while Wang Chao averaged 10.6 rebounds per game to rank ninth on the rebounding list.

Not only that, in terms of the assist list, Wang Chao averaged 10.6 assists per game and was the only player who averaged double-doubles in assists per game this season, so he naturally became the league's assist king.

Winning both the scoring title and the assist title at the same time is extremely rare in the league, and the last one who can achieve this achievement like Wang Chao is the Kings guard Knight in the 1972-73 season. Archibald, but he didn't help the Kansa Omaha Kings break into the playoffs that season, and the gold content naturally can't be compared with Wang Chao.
