Chapter 322: The era that belonged to Wang Chao would eventually pass, and it wouldn't have to wait too long
(There was a mistake in yesterday's content, the Bucks are not the first championship, but they are also the second championship after 50 years, and the gold content is also very high.) )
Wang Chao is very clear that Leonard has a certain anti-bone attribute in this player, and he seems to be very honest, but in fact he has a lot of thoughts.
There is no need to break up his feud with the Spurs, there are problems on both sides, and Leonard's choice to leave the Spurs is understandable.
After joining the Raptors, the Raptors can be described as a corporal of courtesy to Leonard, not only to meet any of his requirements as much as possible, including not playing away and a series of other preferential treatment, Leonard also reciprocated and won a championship for the Raptors.
But after the season, the whole team of the Raptors was kind to stay, but Leonard didn't have the slightest attachment, turned around and left, it is true that the distant North Toronto and Los Angeles are not comparable to the lights of Los Angeles, but his decisive behavior is still lingering.
Of course, as a free agent, Leonard joins which team is his freedom, and others have no right to stand on the moral high ground to point fingers, but Leonard, who made the decision to join Los Angeles, then did an extremely disgusting thing, resulting in the loss of character.
At that time, the two most fierce teams competing for Leonard were the Lakers and Clippers in Los Angeles.
The attraction of the Lakers is of course James and a group of potential players, and as long as Leonard joins, he will immediately become the biggest favorite to win the championship.
The attraction of the Clippers is that Leonard will become the core of the team after he joins, rather than running to the Lakers to be the second oldest player for James.
Leonard, who was arrogant, naturally chose the second option, going to the Clippers to compete with James on the same stage.
But although the decision has been made, Leonard did not express his position directly, but pretended to talk to the Lakers about the conditions, while pretending to join the Lakers, while secretly trying to win over Paul. George, even during this period, he asked the agent team to ask the Lakers to delay the trade plan of Davis, for no reason, just a simple condition.
It's also a shame that the Lakers management noticed something, and didn't listen to everything just to please Leonard, decisively executed the deal, and sent Ingram and others to get the thick eyebrows from the Pelicans.
It's also a shame that if the Lakers move a little slower, maybe the Pelicans will choose to discuss a trade with other teams, after all, top players like Bushy Eyebrows are in demand everywhere, and there are many teams willing to pay a high price for him.
As you can imagine, when I learned that Leonard chose to join the Clippers, and had been with Paul a few days ago. George made this decision, and he didn't plan to consider the news of joining the Lakers, and how angry the Lakers were, from management to fans.
Leonard: This is completely playing with Lakers management, since you are not going to think about the Lakers, why do you spend so much time? And even two hours before announcing his move to the Clippers, he was asking the Lakers to delay the trade of the Clippers, which was just bad at home.
If this matter is forgivable from the perspective of the Clippers management, the Lakers and the Clippers are sworn enemies in the same city, and they are competitive in themselves, and it is naturally good to be able to hit the opponent, but Leonard, as a complete free agent at the time, did this kind of thing, and no one can blame him for being scolded.
Wang Chao's impression of Leonard was completely changed through this incident, originally Leonard's stunned and unsmiling expression was very similar to Duncan, but this scheming was much deeper.
Then Leonard started the civil service mode in the Clippers, paddling and playing soy sauce every year, which also made his popularity as a passerby constantly lost.
——
Not long after the game between the Rockets and the Nuggets, news circulated in the league that Leonard was dissatisfied with the current status quo of the Rockets and forced the palace management.
Although it is just gossip and has not been confirmed by anyone, since it has come out, it is by no means groundless, considering that the Rockets' record so far this season has been around eight or nine in the West, and whether they can successfully enter the playoffs is a problem, it is understandable that Leonard will have such thoughts and behaviors, after all, with the current lineup and strength of the Rockets, it is difficult to go far even if they can break into the playoffs.
The November schedule is fleeting.
The Nuggets have maintained an astonishingly efficient winning percentage, leading the league with a 17-4 record that surprised the entire league.
The teams with better records in the West are the Nuggets, Warriors, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Thunder, Rockets and other teams from top to bottom.
At the end of the first calendar month of the regular season, the situation in the West has become clearer, and several strong teams have all surfaced.
Warriors, Spurs, the two teams in the West finals last season, naturally needless to say, although the rise of the Nuggets is extremely fierce beyond people's imagination, but in fact it is also expected, after all, they have Wang Chao to join, no matter how other players play, the minimum floor of the Nuggets will not be too low.
The Trail Blazers currently sit on the top few salaries in the league, because of the butterfly effect, Aldridge did not leave the Trail Blazers to join the Spurs, which allowed the Trail Blazers to build a combination of Lillard, Aldridge, McCollum and Nurkic, which is stronger than the original 17-18 season, which also makes the Trail Blazers able to rank fourth under the Nuggets Warriors Spurs three Western powerhouses, ahead of other teams.
The Mavericks' improvement in performance is naturally the effect of Harden's strength, perhaps there is the idea of competing with Wang Chao for the scoring title, the Mavericks like Harden have shown a strong desire to attack this season, with an average of 21.2 shots per game in November, which can contribute 32.8 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and is currently the only two players in the league who average more than 30+ points per game, and the other is of course Wang Chao.
In November, Wang Chao averaged 35.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, and the number of rebounds and assists were both low in recent years, but the average points per game returned to the level of earlier.
The reason has been mentioned earlier, the Nuggets have Gobert and don't need him to protect the frame.
As for the two players on the offensive end, Murray's style of play is biased towards no ball, but Mitchell is a player who needs to hold the ball to play at a high level, so Wang Chao also appropriately handed over the ball to Mitchell to deal with on the court, although compared with Wang Chao, Mitchell's efficiency is much lower, but even Wang Chao can't do all the offensive rounds in a game to the extent of attacking with the ball.
Although rebounds and assists are new lows in recent years, Wang Chao's average points per game reached 35.4 points, which is the highest since the 13-14 season, and the super luxury quasi-triple-double data of 35+9+10 per game made Wang Chao beat Harden, who averaged 33+6+7 per game, and was undisputedly elected as the Western Player of the Month in November.
For the award of Player of the Month, neither Wang Chao nor his fans have any feelings.
On the one hand, because he has won so much, with an average of at least three to four monthly awards per season, and considering that the monthly awards are only six times per season, he has almost monopolized this honor for quite some time.
On the other hand, for Wang Chao, who is currently eight crowns, seven FMVPs and six MVPs, let alone the best of the month, even the honors of the best team and one defense are completely lazy to look at them, and they are meaningless.
What fans care about now is what kind of terrifying level of honor accumulation will reach when Wang Chao retires.
So far, in terms of the number of championships, only the Lord of the Rings Bill has been among the top 10 superstars in history. Russell is ahead of Wang Chao, and in terms of MVP, Wang Chao tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, tying for the all-time first with six regular season MVPs.
As for FMVP, Wang Chao has won the FMVP trophy 7 times and has surpassed Jordan to become the first in history in the true sense.
And even if it is the first two data, all fans who know football and history know that Russell's championship was in ancient times when the league was not merged, and the Celtics gathered almost the best players in the league at that time to form a super team with unique strength, and in the league at that time, the lineup did not even lose the five-star Warriors who fell into despair after Cousins joined in the 18-19 season.
What's more, the Celtics' "Cousins" are still healthy and free of injuries.
It should be strange for such a team to win a small number of championships in that league at that time, especially the Celtics during the eight-consecutive championship period, a total of 8 people were inducted into the Hall of Fame in the end, and even the benches were no exception, which shows the strength of the team.
To sum up, Russell's 11 crowns are shocking, but combined with the factors of the times, the number of champions and gold content still have to be discounted, after all, the strength of the opponents competing on the same stage is too poor, which is why Russell, who has the most championships, is often ranked around the fourth or fifth position when the league or major media are talking about historical rankings.
In terms of the number of MVPs, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's six regular season MVPs are also flawed, four of his MVPs were obtained before the NBA and ABA merged, and one of them was even won under the premise that the team did not enter the playoffs, so it is highly controversial.
On the other hand, Wang Chao's six MVPs, including an unprecedented five-time MVP, are all real and full of gold, and even because the American media is unwilling to watch a Chinese player dominate the league like this, the requirements and standards for Wang Chao are even higher.
Now many local fans of Wang Chao in the United States admit that if Wang Chao is a local star in the United States, his MVP will not be broken at all, and the record of leading the team to dominate the league in recent years and his own personal data performance of averaging a triple-double per game in the season is not an exaggeration, Curry did lead the Warriors to a phenomenal performance, and his three-point shot is also considered to be almost a transcendent existence that can be tied with Wang Chao.
But whether it is in terms of team record or personal performance, Curry can't compare with Wang Chao during his two consecutive MVP periods, and he can win the award simply because the league has finally found a local player who can slightly compare with Wang Chao in terms of personal performance and ability to lead the team.
In short, it is a tool person found by the alliance to suppress Wang Chao's personal honor.
The league's approach was successful, and the two consecutive MVPs did allow Curry to gain a large number of fans, and his popularity increased rapidly, becoming the second basketball super popular idol in the United States after James.
But at the same time, the honor of being unworthy of the position also made Curry encounter a lot of doubts and abuse, after all, in the eyes of Wang Chao's fans, Curry's two MVPs were completely stolen from Wang Chao, especially last year, when the Nets easily crushed the Warriors in the finals to win the championship, which confirmed this statement.
There is no way, there are many popular people, it can only be said that since Curry has won two MVPs, even one more than the current James, even if he bears some unwarranted abuse, it is understandable.
And this season, the Nuggets have the first record in the league, and Wang Chao occupies the top of the scoring list and assists, so naturally there is no suspense at the top of the MVP power list, the second is the Mavericks' Harden, the third is the Cavaliers' James, and Curry is only fifth.
If Wang Chao continues to win the regular season MVP this season, then he will also surpass Abdul-Jabbar to win the first place with seven regular season MVP honors.
This point is still very worthy of Wang Chao fans' expectations, no matter how much water Abdul-Jabbar's MVP is, after all, they are tied with Wang Chao for six MVPs, and it still sounds a little unpleasant.
According to the current situation, if the Nuggets can continue to maintain their previous record, Wang Chao has a high probability of winning this year's regular season MVP, after all, the only competitor who can threaten him so far Although Harden is not far behind Wang Chao in terms of personal data, the team's record is not half a star.
Wang Chao's fans all think so, and this year's regular season MVP and championship are also the most talked about things for them, after all, who doesn't want their stars to win all the time? Even if Wang Chao has won enough, it doesn't hurt to continue to win a little more.
Wang Chao, who was born in November 1983, will be 34 years old after the end of the competition in November 17.
Normally, players who have reached this age are about to enter the final peak of their careers.
Former basketball god Michael. Jordan chose to retire after winning his second three-peats at the age of 35, and his retirement involved many factors, but the decline of his personal ability and the aging of the team's roster structure are also important reasons.
In the '98 Finals against the Jazz, the Bulls had already shown a slight sense of inadequacy, not only Jordan, but also Pippen and Rodman were not young at the time, the average age of the whole team was 34 years old, and even if they continued to play, they could not guarantee dominance.
At this time, Jordan had become a world-renowned basketball god, and even a single failure could not be allowed, so he decisively chose to retire when he achieved peak results, leaving behind a two-in-a-row triple crown dynasty for future generations to look up to.
Compared with Jordan, the 34-year-old Wang Chao has achieved more honors and achievements, and his performance on the field shows no signs of decline at all.
Especially this season, Wang Chao has played an average of 40 minutes per game so far, and he is still the omnipotent and tireless monster on the field.
No one knows how long Wang Chao's state of domination will last, maybe it will decline soon, or maybe it will last for a few years, and then it will start to decline around thirty-six or seventeen.
But no matter what it is, the era that belongs to Wang Chao will eventually pass, and it won't be too long. (End of chapter)
