Chapter 325: It's a little interesting, and Harden is divided.
There was no suspense, and the front page headlines of the major media on the day were occupied by Rose's 50 points in a single game.
The star, who has been dormant for many years due to injury, played the most iconic game of his career with the Nuggets holding a veteran base salary.
50 points per game, which is a career high for Rose, before that, his career-high scoring record was 42 points, which was scored on February 17, 2011, when he led the Bulls to the home game against the Spurs.
Rose, who was only 23 years old at the time, thought that his peak had not yet arrived, but he did not admit that it was already his best and most perfect period.
To this day, Rose has scored 50 points in the game and officially entered the 50+ scoring club, which has greatly changed many people's perception of Rose.
I thought that because of the injury, Rose would not be able to adapt to the high-intensity game of the league and would not perform too well, who would have thought that so far this season, Rose, who has played the sixth man off the bench in the Nuggets, has performed remarkably, and his average points per game can even rank third on the team.
A 50-point score in a single game is like a deafening cry to the whole league, I'm Ross! You can still fight!
Facing reporters after the game, Rose's eyes were red and tears spilled several times.
'For me, it means everything, I gave it my all, but I couldn't have done it without the support of the team, the fans and everyone, tonight was really a night to remember and I hope to remember it forever!"
Rose's true feelings have moved many people, but everyone also knows that although Rose's 50 points in a single game are shocking, they are only short-lived in the end.
Age and injuries have made it impossible for Rose to play the way he used to be, and the risk of injury will increase dramatically due to high-intensity and high-frequency confrontations, and for Rose now, the bench sixth man is the most suitable position for him.
Whether it is fans who love Rose, or other neutral fans, the feeling of Rose's 50 points is more of feelings, but they don't think that Rose can really play consecutive highlight performances and super high scores.
That's more like something Wang Chao would do.
In December, another player did it more thoroughly.
James. Harden.
Wang Chao knows that Harden will stage the greatest individual scoring show in the 18-19 season, scoring 3 times 60+ points throughout the season, 9 times 50+ points, and countless 40+ times, and finally won the season scoring champion with an average of 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game in the regular season, and the average score of 36.1 points per game also surpassed Kobe's peak 35.4 points, becoming the league's highest average score per game after Jordan's 37.1 points in modern times.
Of course, in this time and space, Wang Chao surpassed Jordan with an average of 40.7 points per game in the 11-12 season and became the player with the highest average points per game in modern times, and only Chamberlain in ancient times could suppress Wang Chao in average points per game.
But Wang Chao didn't expect that Rose scored 50 points in a single game a season ahead of schedule, and Harden actually ushered in a full-scale explosion of data one season ahead of schedule.
Before December, Harden's average points per game was quite decent, although the average points per game in his early 30+ were also very high, and Wang Chao became the only player who averaged more than 30 points per game in the season, but at least it was within the understanding of fans.
But as the schedule enters December, a switch for Harden seems to have been turned on, and he has scored 50+ points in two games, 40+ points in several games, and the average points per game have soared, and he has successfully caught up with and surpassed Wang Chao.
Of course, the regular season has only been played for less than a third of the time so far, and it's hard to say whether Harden will be able to continue this super performance in the follow-up games, but at least in December, Harden's performance looks even stronger than Wang Chao.
Especially when the entire December schedule was over, Harden actually relied on his average of 37.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game in December to snatch the December Western Conference Player of the Month award from Wang Chao.
This also has something to do with Wang Chao's rowing of water in December.
As mentioned earlier, in order to develop Mitchell and Murray's offensive and pressure resistance, Wang Chao reduced his appearance, ball and offensive time in the December schedule, and gave more opportunities to other players on the Nuggets, which led to the decline of Wang Chao's personal data and also caused the Nuggets to lose more games in the December schedule.
Throughout December, the Nuggets had an 11-4 record, with a win rate of less than 80%, and although they are still the best team in the league, they are very close to the Warriors, who are second in the West, and are no longer unbeatable.
Of course, Wang Chao will not care about the decline in personal data and the slight fluctuation of the team's results, which is not worth mentioning compared to the growth of the young players in the team.
And there is one more important thing in December than the NBA game, and that is the Bitcoin market.
After a long time of layout, Wang Chao finally ushered in a bumper harvest in December.
Although Wang Chao's appearance and existence have changed the direction of many events in this world, he is still insignificant when looking at the world.
Even a major event such as winning gold at the Olympic Games, despite its great influence, is only one of more than 300 Olympic sports.
Therefore, although the market price of bitcoin is slightly different from Wang Chao's impression in terms of time, the overall change is not large, when in mid-December, the price of bitcoin reached a record high, breaking through 20,000 meters.
Wang Chao immediately made a decision to sell all the purchased bitcoins, leaving nothing left, and directly cashed out more than 30 billion yuan!
Different from the last time, this time, because Wang Chao already has experience, he has registered more than a dozen anonymous companies in advance, and even some of them are registered abroad, including but not limited to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada and other countries.
This also made Wang Chao's investment very low-key this time and was not discovered by any media.
This is completely different from when he became a billionaire, and the whole world knew about it and reported it all over the world.
When Wang Chao just earned 3 billion, he did have the urge to let everyone know, and that sense of showing off was human nature.
But when he made 30 billion, his first thought was how to hide the news from anyone, which is also human nature.
The assets of 30 billion yuan are really impossible to spend in a few lifetimes, and even made Wang Chao completely lose the desire and motivation to make money in an instant.
These assets were divided into hundreds by Wang Chao and stored in the most well-known banks in various countries in the world.
He has already thought that in addition to the part of the money left for his own expenses, the rest of the money will be used to contribute to the country, such as the establishment of the Huaguo youth training mechanism that he has started to engage in now, and will steadily invest 50 million yuan every year.
50 million meters, equivalent to more than 300 million Chinese dollars per year, this is already an astronomical amount, but in Wang Chao's view is not enough, want to completely establish a complete, into a system and can provide young talents stably of the youth training institutions, to invest in an astronomical amount, this is a blood loss does not make money, the way to make a profit is relatively simple, in most cases the money invested in it has to be wasted, so so far Huaguo whether it is basketball, Football or other sports have a considerable gap between youth training and foreign countries.
Next, Wang Chao is not going to limit his sights to basketball, including football, volleyball, table tennis, tennis and other aspects of sports youth training will be included, anyway, he has money, not to mention 50 million a year, even if it is 300 million yuan, he can also invest!
The most terrifying thing is that Wang Chao's current assets will not be spent even if he invests 300 million yuan per year until the end of his life.
reached the pinnacle of life without making a sound, which made Wang Chao quite bored.
After all, 30 billion meters of dollars can really be regarded as the world's super-rich, and the assets of Wang Jianlin, the richest man in Asia in 2017, are only 31.3 billion meters, which also includes a large number of company shares and real estate.
Wang Chao's 30 billion is all white tickets, all of which have been successfully cashed out, and they are still the actual numbers after deducting handling fees and taxes.
It is so easy to make money through the ability of the traverser to have a sense of foresight, so that Wang Chao does not feel a sense of accomplishment or even reality at all in this regard, and making money only represents a string of cold numbers for him.
On the contrary, it is playing in the league that makes him feel more satisfied and accomplished.
After the December schedule has passed, the time has officially entered January 2018.
Harden's back-to-back highlight-reel performances in December, although related to Wang Chao's initiative to cut his playing time and shots, still slightly aroused a little interest from Wang Chao, after all, no player in the league has been able to compete with him in scoring for many years.
At the beginning, Durant could still compare with Wang Chao a little bit, but due to his own physical limitations, although Durant's scoring stability is very strong, his scoring explosiveness is not good, and it is already his limit to be able to average more than 30 points per game throughout the season.
But Harden is different.
Not to mention other aspects, only in terms of physical fitness, Harden is stronger than Durant, and the difference in the playing style of the two has also led to the difference in scoring explosiveness on the court.
In the 18-19 season, Harden, who averaged 36.1 points per game, scored nearly 15 points on three-pointers alone, hitting 4.8 three-pointers per game, and in terms of free throws, Harden averaged 9.7 points per game on 11 free throws.
These two points alone account for as many as 25 points, and the remaining 11 points are the source of Harden's scoring within the two-point line, including mid-range, layups, dunks and other points.
You can say that it is indeed an exaggeration to blow the whistle when JDZ porcelain king touches the corner of his clothes, but Durant's career-high season averaged 32 points per game that season, and he averaged 8.7 free throws per game, which is at least 1 point compared to Harden, so there is nothing to mention about free throws.
In fact, Wang Chao aside, looking at all the league's scoring champions in recent decades, Stephen. Curry is one of a special one.
Curry won the league scoring championship twice in his career, in the 15-16 season and the 20-21 season, and these two scoring titles, Curry's free throw points were 4.6 points and 5.7 respectively, and he is the only league scoring champion who has scored less than 6 points in the free throw line in the past ten years, while the league scoring champion in other seasons averaged about 8 points per game.
The only exception is O'Neal in the 99-00 season, the season he won the scoring title, he scored only 5.5 points from the free throw line, but O'Neal's low free throw scoring is entirely his own reason, after all, O'Neal, who can get more than 10 free throw opportunities every season at his peak, has always hovered around 50% in free throw shooting, who can blame him?
In this regard, Curry's scoring title is indeed well deserved, and when it comes to scoring ability, he is definitely the undisputed number one in the field of point guard, and if you count the three-point shot, no one in the history of the league can shake his position.
Of course, the premise is that Wang Chao's hanging force is not taken into account.
The current Wang Chao, the scoring ability is really too balanced, whether it is three points, mid-distance, breakthrough with the ball, strong attack under the basket or foul free throws, Wang Chao is the top level in the league, far more than all players in the same period, maybe occasionally one or two players can barely compete with Wang Chao in a certain field, such as Curry and Wang Chao than three points, James and Wang Chao than fast attack counterattack, Durant and Wang Chao than mid-range, etc., but after all, it is only a single aspect, when compared with a whole game or even a long season, There is still a clear gap.
And the reason why Wang Chao is interested in Harden is also because in his impression, after Harden in 18 years averaged 36 points per game in December, he followed the next month, that is, January 19, and played a more explosive performance, averaging 43.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game in 14 games!
14 games, 1 60+, 2 50+, 5 40+, and none of the remaining games scored below 30, and the scoring performance was explosive, it was like playing a 2K game.
Even Wang Chao has only played such a performance in the 11-12 season, and it is undeniable that Harden in that period is the strongest offensive player in the league, and there is no one.
This also makes Wang Chao look forward to it a little, if Harden can burst out with the same super scoring explosiveness in this time and space, different time periods, then this month will really be interesting.
——
seems to be in response to Wang Chao's expectations, on January 2, the Mavericks hosted the Magic, and Harden used a single game to score 44 points to announce the start of the scoring war in January.
Although the two players did not communicate at all beforehand, the two remaining 30+ scoring players in the league at this stage were still put in a position of contrast and eagerly discussed by the media, especially after Harden's explosive performance in December, it is even more desirable to continue the hot hand in January.
Everyone can see that Wang Chao's desire to attack last month was not strong, and the firepower was far less than before, but now with the threat of Harden, and even the opponent has completed the surpassing of Wang Chao on the scoring list, in this case, will Wang Chao fight back?
The answer lies in the Nuggets' home game against the Phoenix Suns a day later.
In this game, Wang Chao who sat at home was full of firepower, and scored 41 points in only three quarters of the game, because the Sun itself is the bottom weak team in the league, so the suspense of the game was lost early in the third quarter, and Wang Chao played only 31 minutes, although the score of 41 points is not high for him, but the 41 points in the third quarter still showed the tip of the iceberg of its terrifying scoring ability, and also indicated that January 18 will become the stage for the two top scorers in the league.
