"Magical tactics, the Rockets have no center lineup across the field, and all the opponents they encounter surrender."

"All-around superstar! After serving as the team's point guard last season, he returned to the center this season, starting all four games as a center, averaging 29.4 points, 13.6 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game. ”

"How strong is the Rockets? Lacking an All-Star and All-Second Team superstar, he still has the top strength in the league, with 9 wins and 2 losses in 11 games, ranking first in the West and even in the league. ”

Amid the astonishment and praise across the league, the Rockets won again.

On November 19, the Rockets hosted the Boston Celtics, and now the Celtics Big Three have all left, and the only remaining star on the team is Rajon Rondo.

The house leak coincided with overnight rain, and Rondo also suffered injuries at the start of the season and is currently out of the game, and the Celtics previously had a 4-7 record, sitting in the bottom few of the East.

If nothing else, Rondo played only 50 games for the Celtics in the next two seasons, and the constant injuries and suspensions eventually caused the Green Army to lose patience and trade him away.

In the face of such a team, the imposing Rockets were unceremonious, and a wave was taken away directly, still with the familiar rhythm of the three quarters.

With the growth of rookie players such as Leonard and Butler, Wang Chao has become more and more relaxed in the game, and many times he can even give up control of the ball and hand over the ball to others to handle.

Of course, that is only a rare case, most of the time, Wang Chao still concentrates the ball in his own hands, after all, the existence of the system determines that Wang Chao must play mainly with the ball, so as to brush up on a luxurious record, just like last season's average triple-double, and then the previous season's average of 40+ points per game.

This season, Wang Chao's goal is still to average a triple-double + scoring champion per game, and at the same time, if conditions permit, he will also find a way to compete for the rebounding king and assist king.

Wang Chao remembers very clearly that this season's rebounding king should be Jordan Jr. of the Clippers, averaging about 13 rebounds per game, and the assist king is also the Clippers' Chris. Paul, averaging less than 11 assists per game.

With Wang Chao's current ability and the fast-paced offensive and defensive conversion of the Rockets' small-ball system, it is not impossible to surpass the two in rebounding and assist statistics, and even Wang Chaonu works hard to surpass Paul on the steal list to compete for the league's steal king is not a dream.

Looking at the history of the league, there are only players who can get the scoring king, rebounding king, and assist king at the same time, even if it is the data monster Wilt in ancient times. Chamberlain has only won both scoring and rebounding titles.

Not even in the same season, only Chamberlain has won the honor of scoring champion, rebounding champion and assist champion in his entire career.

If Wang Chao can do this in one season, the shock to the world is definitely no less than the previous average of 40+ points per game, if you add a steal king, it is definitely not an exaggeration to call it a miracle!

Wang Chao felt that this goal was very challenging for him, so he was also excited to try it.

On Nov. 20, the Rockets suffered their third loss of the season on the road.

When visiting fellow Texas team Dallas Mavericks, the Rockets lost to the Mavericks 120-123.

In this game, the Rockets did not lose unjustly, because the Mavericks' duo, Harden and Nowitzki, scored 37 and 35 points respectively, completely breaking through the Rockets' defense.

The first is Harden, who played against the Rockets before, and was always miserable by the defense created by Leonard and Butler, especially in the first round of the playoffs a few months ago, Harden was completely defenced by Leonard, and his performance was terrible, and the Mavericks were swept out of the game by the Rockets 4:0.

This time, Harden finally got his revenge.

In his second season with the Mavericks, Harden's JDZ porcelain king has become more and more perfect.

Throughout the game, Leonard had 5 fouls on his back, Butler also had 4 fouls, and Harden made an exaggerated 15 free throws, 11 of 15 free throws, and 13 of 18 shots, scoring 37 points and 9 assists in an extremely efficient manner.

On the other side, Nowitzki shot 13-of-20, 2-of-5 from three-point range and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line to finish with 35 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

In charge of defending Nowitzki was Chandler. Parsons and Kevin, who has stepped down from the starting position and is now averaging 20 minutes per game. Garnett.

Parsons couldn't defend Nowitzki at all, and Garnett, who was able to cause a lot of trouble for Nowitzki on the defensive end last season, has become helpless against the opponent after just half a year.

Wang Chao couldn't do anything about it.

Of course, there is nothing the Mavericks can do with the super offensive ability of the Rockets' death five lineup, but in the confrontation between the two sides, the Mavericks have a slight advantage.

This game made other teams in the league discover the weaknesses of the Rockets' jump-ball lineup.

The team relied heavily on the three-point shot.

In the whole game, the Rockets made 33 three-point shots, but only hit 10 of them, including Wang Chao's 5 of 8 three-point shots.

The Rockets shooters led by Leonard and Butler have an inconsistent three-point shooting rate, although they have a three-point shooting rate of close to 40% in the first few games, but if they can't keep it, they suddenly have a game where they don't feel at all and can't shoot at all.

And once this happens, the only thing the Rocket team can rely on is Wang Chao's attacking ability, they used to have Da Yao, and now they can only rely on Wang Chao.

Leonard and Butler's offensive ability with the ball is still a little lacking, and although they have been trained a lot in the Wang Super League sparring potion and the private training camp every offseason, they are still a little bit worse off being on their own.

Wang Chao probably knows what they lack, and I'm afraid he is to blame for this problem.

Like Wang Chao and James, a big core with the ball can indeed greatly improve the team's combat effectiveness, ensuring that the lower limit also has a strong upper limit, but it is undeniable that this style of play will still have some impact on the development of other players in the team, to be precise, it hinders the progress of some players with good potential.

Both Leonard and Butler have improved rapidly under Wang Chao's training, but they have become accustomed to playing off-ball offense in the game, waiting for Wang Chao to create opportunities and then distribute the ball to them.

Over time, even if they already have good offensive and even offensive capabilities, they will subconsciously hand over the ball to Wang Chao at critical moments, which is already a deep-rooted thinking inertia.

Just like if you want to shoot a lore, you must give it to Jordan, Kobe Bryant is a truth.

Now Leonard and Butler, that's the problem.

If they are given enough ball control and tactical position, both of them may be able to reach the level of averaging 20+ points per game, but so far in the regular season, Leonard has averaged 17.2 points per game, and Butler has averaged 16.5 points per game, although they are not low, but there is actually no significant improvement compared with last season, even the vacant shooting rights of Da Yao and Garnett have been evenly divided between Thomas Jr., Parsons and Middleton.

In the final analysis, although Leonard and Butler both started as grassroots players and played without the ball at the beginning of their careers, the real rise was after becoming the team's main offensive core and mastering the ball, which is completely different from the Warriors' Thompson, who is after all the most well-known top player in the field of the ball, and is a real player who can play the strength of a top star without the ball at all.

There is obviously no way to solve this problem, unless Wang Chao appropriately delegates power and gives the two enough ball control and room to grow.

But Wang Chao will definitely not sacrifice his personal data to others to grow up.

From the very beginning, Wang Chao was an egoist, he first had to ensure that his own interests were maximized, and then he would consider others, which was also a matter of course.

The same is true for the use of sparring potions for Leonard, Butler and others, their strength growth will make the team stronger, but Wang Chao wants Pippen, not Jordan, and considering Leonard's future performance in the Spurs, Wang Chao has always had the idea of keeping a hand.

The problem mentioned by the media, the Rockets do exist now, but this does not mean that the Rockets are not strong enough, the instability of outside projection is only one or two games occasionally, and the team's overall shooting rate is still okay, especially around Wang Chao, a powerful outside three-point shooting point, the deterrent effect is better than that of the peak Curry.

The main reason why the Rockets lost the game, the league analyzed and discussed it in various ways, and the main reason was that the Rockets' lineup without a center and no point guard was too deviant in the eyes of most people, and they subconsciously did not want to recognize that such a tactical style of play could be successful, so once the Rockets lost, they would find various reasons to prove that this style of play was not feasible.

Of course, Wang Chao will not easily waver or change his mind because of these people's doubts and theoretical analysis.

With the continuous improvement and change of the league's rules, the advent of the small ball era is unstoppable, and early preparation can take the lead.

In addition, the lack of interior rim protection and rebounding ability, and the offense relying too much on the outside feel of these problems, the future Warriors and the Rockets of the magic ball tactics also exist, not that these shortcomings will necessarily lead to the team not being able to win.

With five games left in November, the Rockets won four of them, against the Timberwolves, Grizzlies, Hawks, Nets, and Spurs, and the Rockets lost precisely the game against the Spurs, for the simple reason that the Spurs' new twin-tower combination, Howard and Duncan, teamed up to dominate the Rockets' interior line.

No matter how strong Wang Chao is, he has no advantage over Howard on the inside, even if Howard is a skinny camel, he is bigger than a horse after all.

In the 13-14 season, Howard, who should have joined the Rockets, still averaged 18.3 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, and was selected for the best second team of the season, which can fully prove that even if Howard is affected by injuries, his physical fitness is far less than when he was at his peak, and he is still at the top level of interior center in the NBA.

And when he joined the Spurs, of course, his tactical status is much higher than when he was in the Rockets, after all, the Rockets have a ball-handling core Harden, and the Spurs do not have such a player.

In this game with the Rockets, Howard dominated the interior, although he only grabbed 12 rebounds in the whole game, which was slightly inferior to Wang Chao, who grabbed 15 rebounds, but the Spurs frequently created offensive opportunities for him on the inside, and the result was that Howard hit 33 points and 12 rebounds, leading the Spurs to defeat the Rockets and win.

After this game, the Spurs were 13-4, with the same record as the Rockets, and even briefly surpassed the Rockets to take the first place in the West because of the win-loss relationship.

Even Wang Chao has to admit that Popovich is really a legendary head coach, and any kind of player seems to be able to shine in his hands, and the trajectory of his life has changed, and Howard, who has changed from joining the Rockets to joining the Spurs, may really be able to rejuvenate his life here.

November has passed, for the Rockets, this month is not as difficult as imagined, although they have experienced Garnett's decline, Da Yao's season reimbursement and other events, but the team still played a 13-4 record, the winning rate is relatively high, and the Rockets' wonderful lineup performance is stronger than people imagined.

In the past 17 games, Wang Chao has averaged a big triple-double of 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 10.8 assists per game, and was undoubtedly selected as the best player in the West in November.

Compared to him, the Eastern Conference was voted the Player of the Month for November. George's stats are simply unreadable, averaging only 23.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

But George's advantage lies in the team's record, the Pacers played exceptionally well in the first month of the new season, currently 14-2, and the record is ahead of the Western Rockets and Spurs, not only the first in the East but also the first record in the league.

This is somewhat unexpected, and the Heat, who were expected to firmly dominate the first place in the East, are currently 12-5 and still below the Pacers.

For a while, the situation in the league was a little unpredictable and difficult to see, but although the Rockets' record did not decrease significantly, Da Yao's injury still made their odds for winning the championship continue to decline, falling to the fourth place in the league, lower than the Heat, Thunder, and Spurs.

The schedule entered December, and the Rockets first beat the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns, two teams at the bottom of the West, at home, to improve their record to 15-4, and then on December 6, the Rockets met a more interesting team, the Golden State Warriors.

This is the first time the Rockets have played against the Warriors this season, and the reason why it is interesting is because the Rockets' current Death Five 2.0 version lineup is born from the Warriors' Death Five, and the Warriors at this time already have a lineup of Death Five players, everything is ready, and what is missing is just a head coach who can maximize their style of play.

That's right, Steve. Kerr is not yet the head coach of the Warriors at this time, and the current head coach of the Warriors is still Mark Brown. Jackson.

Although Mark. Jackson's coaching ability and talent are far inferior to Kerr's, but with the super luxury lineup brought by the Wang Chao butterfly effect, the Warriors have also completed their rise ahead of schedule this season.

Before playing against the Rockets, the Warriors had a record of 13 wins and 7 losses, and their record in the West was even above the Clippers, second only to the Rockets, Spurs, and Thunder, and the win margin was extremely close.
