Chapter 245: The Eastern Moon of Flowing Water is the Best, and the Iron Western Wang Chao!
Getting a higher number of rebounds in two consecutive games made Wang Chao's average rebounds per game rise slightly, and successfully surpassed Jordan Jr. and Drummond by a slight margin to top the rebounding list.
As an outside player, Wang Chao can dominate the rebounding list, which is really a surprising thing.
Moreover, Wang Chaogao is not only rebounding, he is currently averaging 29.6 points per game, ranking second on the scoring list, second only to Thunder forward Kevin Durant, who averages 32.7 points per game, and averages 10.6 assists per game, which is only a few tenths of a point away from Chris Paul, who is the first in the assist list.
Anyone can see that the current Wang Chao has not gone all out, and at the end of the regular season, Wang Chao is not without the opportunity to win the three seasons of personal data honors at the same time, the rebounding king and the assist king, if he really does it, it is unprecedented, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the real great achievements of the future!
On December 29, the Rockets challenged the Oklahoma City Thunder away, which was also a contest between Wang Chao and Durant's first and second places in the scoring list.
As far as the Thunder's boss Kevin is concerned. As far as Durant is concerned, he doesn't want to lose to Wang Chao anymore, whether it is the team's victory or loss, or the victory or defeat in terms of individual scoring.
This season, Durant has maintained an extremely efficient scoring efficiency at the beginning of the game, and his 32.7 points is also the highest scoring average per game in his career season so far, and it is also the first time that he can suppress Wang Chao in the scoring list.
Durant actually knows very well that Wang Chao's average points per game did not exceed 30+, not because his scoring ability decreased, but because Wang Chao put more energy into rebounding and penalty area defense, but even so, if he won the scoring title this season, Durant would still be very satisfied, after all, this will be the first scoring champion in his career.
Durant is also miserable enough, because of Wang Chao, not only did he not win any of the scoring champions he should have, but even the Olympic championship gold medal was messed up by Wang Chao, and so far nothing has been achieved, which is worse than James, who was robbed of three MVPs and a championship by Wang Chao.
It's a pity that Durant doesn't know that although Wang Chao is currently 3.1 points behind him, Wang Chao has no intention of giving up the honor of scoring champion.
In the two months at the end of 2013, he was just trying to run in the tacit understanding of the Rocket version of the Death Five, deliberately reducing the number of times he attacked with the ball, and as the progress of the team's run-in improved, Wang Chao would gradually increase the number of shots and improve the scoring data.
In this game with the Thunder, Wang Chao began to consciously increase the number of shots.
Since the Rockets still sent a five-forward lineup, the Thunder, which also lacked high-quality interior strength, did not send a traditional center, but let power forward Ibaka play as a center to ensure that the team's mobility could keep up with the Rockets.
The two sides staged a big battle with a fast and amazing offensive rhythm.
Without overtime, the two teams combined for 270 points in 48 minutes of play in the fourth quarter alone, with the Rockets scoring 137 points and the Thunder scoring 133 points.
Wang Chao and Durant were the top scoring points for each of the two teams.
Wang Chao shot 17 of 31 from the field, 8 of 15 from three-point range, and 9 of 10 from the free throw line, scoring 51 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists for a super triple-double.
Durant was not much inferior to Wang Chao in terms of scoring, shooting 15 of 32 and 14 of 19 free throws, scoring 47 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
Judging by the final results, Durant lost again.
The score was 4 points lower than Wang's Chao, the rebounds and assists were all defeats, and more importantly, the Thunder also lost the game, which can be described as a complete defeat.
——
At the end of December, the Rockets continued to hold the top spot in the Western Conference and were already three wins ahead of the Spurs, who were second in the West.
The Spurs team that won Howard is explosive, but compared with the original Leonard version of the Spurs, it seems that the strength is still slightly inferior, and according to the current record, it is difficult to say whether it can reach 60 wins at the end of the regular season.
This is not surprising, although Howard's current 20+10 double-double data looks very luxurious, but his offense is limited to the basket, slightly conflicting with Duncan, and is completely different from Leonard's tactical value that should have been used as a Spurs forward in the 13-14 season, averaging 16.5 points and 7 rebounds per game, and shooting 37.9% from three-point range.
This also led to the fact that although the Spurs have the most luxurious interior partner in the league at present, the offensive and defensive outside are not stable enough, so they have lost more games in the regular season than they originally did.
And Wang Chao won the Western Conference Player of the Month for the second consecutive month by virtue of the Rockets' excellent record in December and his personal average triple-double data of 30+13+11 per game.
It is worth mentioning that the Eastern Conference Player of the Month was selected as Wang Chao's old rival, Heat forward LeBron. James, who averaged 24.6 points, 8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game in December, led the Heat to a 10-4 record, and his performance was remarkable, but when compared with Wang Chao, it was almost interesting to watch.
In the current league, no player wants to compare with Wang Chao, whether it is scores, rebounds, assists or other aspects, any player who can suppress him is only a handful in this league, and Wang Chao is undoubtedly self-inflicted, even if it is the chosen son LeBron. The same is true of James.
Once upon a time, James was recognized as the most versatile player in the league, proficient in offense, defense, assists, and rebounds, and his career average of 27+7+7 per game was almost impeccable.
can be compared with Wang Chaoyi, who achieved an average of 30+10+10 triple-doubles per game last season, and continues to continue the miracle of triple-doubles per game this season......
With the end of the December schedule, the time has officially entered the beginning of 2014.
The All-Star Poll has been conducted three times, and the final vote count is currently underway.
Wang Chao has always been far ahead of everyone in the first three rounds of voting, and it is inevitable to be elected as the All-Star vote king, but as Wang Chao mentioned before, he has long been out of interest in the entertainment exhibition game of All-Star Weekend.
Last season's All-Star Game, helping Da Yao compete for the All-Star MVP was already his most motivated.
Now the honors worthy of Wang Chao's attention are only a few top honors such as regular season MVP, finals FMVP and scoring champion, just an all-star AMVP, he has also won it, and he is not interested in winning the award for a second time.
In contrast, further refining and strengthening the Rocket 2.0 version of the Death Five lineup is what he is more interested in.
As the schedule progresses, some media have put forward the concept of the Death Five, but the Death Five Elementary of the Rocket Class has another name, Super Five!
The reason for this is because the average height of the Rockets' five forwards is not low, 2.06 meters Wang Chao and 2.08 meters Parsons will not have much height disadvantage in the face of most of the league's interior lines, and Leonard, Butler, and Middleton are all 2.01 meters tall, which is very tall on the outside, especially among guards.
The starting lineup of the Rockets' five forwards, with an average height of 2.03 meters, is certainly not appropriate to describe it as a dead five, so the media gave them a more apt nickname, Super Five.
When the Rockets' five forwards appear at the same time, they have the strongest offensive ability and mobility in the entire league, and the defense is not bad, the defense line built by Leonard and Butler on the outside is very solid, and Wang Chao can also play a role that is not inferior to Garnett's defensive needle.
This makes the Rockets play very consistently and efficiently in the regular season, but whenever they win, there are quite a few big wins.
In January, the Rockets' super five-forward lineup became more and more tacit, especially as Wang Chao gradually increased the proportion of shots on the offensive end, and the team's firepower on the offensive end became more and more sharp and unstoppable.
As a result, in 14 games of the Rockets in January, the Rockets achieved a 12-2 record, and Wang's average data per game also increased to 31 points, 13.8 rebounds, 11.2 assists and 2.6 steals.
Except for Durant's 33.1 points in the scoring list, the other four lists are all occupied by Wang Chao, and the dominance has reached an almost suffocating level.
"We're witnessing an unprecedented superstar and his great solo show!"
With his explosive individual performance, Wang Chao won the Western Conference Player of the Month for the third consecutive month, and the Eastern Conference Player of the Month was replaced by Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 28.7 points, 9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
From November to January, three months, the East changed the best player for three months, the Pacers' Paul. George, Heat's LeBron. James, the Knicks' Cameron. Anthony, while the western side has been Wang Chao alone from beginning to end.
After all, if Wang Chao continues to maintain an average of 30+ triple-doubles per game in the next February and March, it is almost a sure thing to continue to win the best of the month, and no matter how well other western stars play, they will not be able to compete with Wang Chao.
As we move into February, the pace of the league's schedule begins to slow down as All-Star Weekend approaches.
At the same time, teams across the league are starting to get moving, as All-Star Weekend also means a trade deadline approaching.
Teams that want to make a difference in the second half of the season or in the playoffs will want to bolster their teams with a last-ditch trade.
This includes the Heat and Spurs, two of the league's top powerhouses.
The Heat took the lead and sent backup point guard Norris. Cole with forward Michael. Beasley, who got forward Reggie from the Brooklyn Nets. Evans and a second-round pick this year.
The purpose of this deal for the Heat is very clear. Evans plays as a forward, although he is 2.03 meters tall and mediocre in the front line, he is a rebounding machine with a strong ball style, and at the same time fierce in defense, good at some off-the-market moves, and his fierce defensive actions make many league stars disgusted.
Last season, Reggie. Evans is an outstanding player who averages 11.1 rebounds in just 24.7 minutes per game for the Nets, including 3.3 offensive rebounds.
It's a pity that compared to his sense of smell and talent in rebounding, his offense is so bad that he can't see it, limited by his height, he even has a hard time connecting passes and eating cakes, and his free throws are comparable to O'Neal Howard, except for grabbing rebounds and defense.
Because of this, this season, his tactical role with the Nets has declined rapidly, his playing time has shrunk by half, and his average data has dropped to 2.7 points and 5 rebounds per game, but considering that he only played 13.3 minutes, his average of 5 rebounds per game is still very outstanding.
