Chapter 330: The Current Top Ten Rankings in History

If the Nuggets can regain the initiative, they must mention the team's bench lineup.

As we all know, the Warriors' bench lineup has always been very luxurious, especially during the 17-18 season, with former All-Star player Andre Iguodala, mid-range player Livingston, and players such as Nick Young, David Young, and the Warriors. West, Pachuria, McGee and other players are quite high-level configurations in the NBA league.

In this time and space where Wang Chao is located, due to Cousins' selection by the Warriors and a series of other butterfly effects, the Warriors' current bench lineup has changed a lot. West, Pachulia and others are still in the team, so their strength is not weak.

But compared to the Nuggets' bench, it is somewhat dwarfed.

There aren't many players on the Nuggets bench who can get their hands on it, and it can even be said that there are only two, one is Rose and the other is first-year rookie Kyle. Kuzma.

Although they have a huge disadvantage in terms of the number of people available, these two are enough to match the level of everyone on the Warriors' bench combined.

First of all, Rose, who joined the Cavaliers in the 17-18 season, did not have any playing time and performance opportunities, and in the Nuggets, he also had the training bonus effect provided by Wang Chao's sparring potion to ensure his status, and his previous performance of 50 points in a single game is enough to prove that his strength level is not much different from the original time and space 18-19 season in the Timberwolves averaged 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

As for Kuzma, he showed great ability as soon as he entered the league, averaging 16+6 per game in his rookie season, and went one step further in his second season, growing into an outstanding potential player who averaged 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

Compared with these two, the bench on the Warriors' side seems to be star-studded with a number of powerful players who have made a name for themselves, but in fact, they are all veterans who have been in their thirties and their competitive form has declined rapidly.

Including Iguodala, who is often half of Park Kan lying in a coffin, just waiting for the playoffs to jump out and cheat the corpse.

Therefore, with the active of Rose and Kuzma, the Nuggets successfully caught up and overtook the point difference in the bench time, forcing the Warriors to call a timeout and replace the main players in advance.

It's just that at the same time that the Warriors adjusted their lineup, Wang Chao, who was previously replaced for two iron elbows, also appeared on the court.

Wang Chao reappeared on the stage, and immediately felt the difference.

In terms of treating his defense, the Warriors have a lot of rules, to be exact, Green, who is still responsible for marking Wang Chao, is already a little cowardly, and when defending Wang Chao, he is quite conservative, especially for the protection of the chest, for fear that Wang Chao will raise his elbow to him in the offense.

Green really guessed right, Wang Chao really planned to do so, if Green continued to play those off-the-plate tricks with him without knowing whether to live or die, he wouldn't mind reproducing the famous scene of Artest elbowing Harden, so that Green could also enjoy a baby-like sleep.

Of course, if Wang Chao wants to do this, he will definitely not be as blatant as Artest, and he will not look like it is normal to kill people with a ball.

Artest paid the price of a 7-game ban for his elbow Harden, he is a team role player, it doesn't matter how many games the ban is, Wang Chao is the only core of the Nuggets, without him, it is at best an ordinary team, maybe it can barely make the Western Conference playoffs around Gobert's defensive system, but that's all.

Therefore, if Wang Chao forcibly exchanges one with Green, it will definitely be a bloody deal, and now that Green has shown his admittance on the field, Wang Chao will naturally not continue to kill them all.

It's just that in this way, the strength of the Warriors' defense of Wang Chao is even weaker, and Wang Chao, who re-appeared, was completely in charge of the game, scoring 8 points in a row with sudden shots, and led the Nuggets to play a wave of 12:2 attack waves, stretching the difference to more than double digits!

When all the main players of the Warriors re-appeared, the situation on the court was out of control, even if the Splash Brothers fired again and again outside the three-point line, and Cousins on the inside continued to use his offensive ability to eat Gobert to score, the Warriors failed to close the score again, after all, the Nuggets are not vegetarians on their side, especially Wang Chao, the offensive desire in this game is quite strong, and it is really hi.

In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Warriors with a score of 124-116 on the road, and after beating the Spurs in the previous game, they defeated the Warriors again, completing the achievement of defeating the second and third strongest opponents in the West in a row.

In this game, Wang Chao once again scored high points, shooting 19 of 33 from the field, 10 of 13 from three-point range, and 13 of 14 from the free throw line, scoring 59 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists in the whole game, scoring 50+ points in the second game in a row!

51 points against the Spurs and 59 points against the Warriors, Wang Chao's strong scoring ability has been best interpreted, and anyone who has watched the game knows that whether it is the Spurs or the Warriors, the defensive tactics against Wang Chao will always be the most, but even if it is a double or even a three-person bag, or a single defensive warrior's continuous rotation of defensive consumption, there is no way to limit Wang Chao.

Not to mention Nuggets fans, fans across the league were stunned.

Is he in this state now?

Wang Chao is almost invincible on the offensive end, especially when Gobert and Tucker take on most of the team's defensive work, and Wang Chao's energy on the defensive end has plummeted and he can focus more on the offensive end, and the feeling of incomparable is really desperate.

According to this rhythm, it is really not impossible for the Nuggets to win the championship this season, after all, the regular season has been played so far, the Nuggets have defeated the Nets, Warriors, Spurs and other championship favorites, and the only league championship favorite team that has not yet played is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But everyone knows that the situation of the Cavaliers is not good, Thomas Jr. is not Irving after all, his style of play is destined to be incompatible with James, even if Thomas Jr. at this time is not injured because he did not play in the Western Conference last season, and his strength has not declined significantly, but his personal data is still like a high diving, from an average of nearly 30 points per game last season to 16.6 points and 5.2 assists.

In the Cavaliers, this score can only rank third on the team, behind James, who averages 27 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game, and Embiid, who has 24 points and 10 rebounds.

At the same time, Wade, who joined the Cavaliers with a veteran base salary, also had a high level of data.

When he was with the Bulls, Wade was able to maintain an average of 20+ points per game, and although he was no longer the strength of the Flashes, he was also a proper All-Star star.

But after coming to the Cavaliers, he didn't have any ball at all, and the Cavaliers' ball was completely divided between James, Embiid and Thomas Jr., which made him only average 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Obviously, compared to last season when Irving was still around, the Cavaliers are more than a step weaker, which also makes the Cavaliers' regular season performance not good, and the current ranking in the East is still below the Raptors and Celtics, and can only be relegated to third.

Even the Nets and Warriors are not opponents of the Nuggets, not many people think that the Cavaliers have the possibility of beating the Nuggets, James has lost to Wang Chao too many times, even if the Heat and the Cavaliers have won twice, but considering that one is that the Rockets Da Yao was injured by the Thunder's Perkins and could not play, and the other time Wang Chao led a group of new recruits to the Nets alone, and the two victories were not convincing.

Speaking of which, James is also unlucky enough, his career has encountered the bug-like existence of Wang Chao, and his personal honor is completely dark, so far he has only one regular season MVP and two championships and FMVP.

Such an accumulation of honors, placed in the league, is already the best among the active players except Wang Chao, and it can be said that Wang Chao is a well-deserved little king in the league.

But this is not enough for James to be included in the discussion of the top ten stars in the history of the league, and no one even compares him with Kobe, after all, Kobe, who has 4 crowns in hand, doesn't care how much light O'Neal has stained with the first three crowns, after all, he is also the champion won as one of the core identities of the OK group, plus one of his own championships, 1MVP, 1FMVP, and the honor of 4 crowns is still stable for James.

Of course, the San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Murphy was also affected. Duncan, Curry and Durant of the Warriors.

Duncan, who should have five championships in hand, only has three championships, although he can sit firmly in the position of the No. 1 forward in history with two regular season MVPs and three FMVP honors, but the top ten positions in history are also a little shaky like Kobe, and there is often a heated discussion on the Internet because of which of the two is more qualified to be selected into the top ten in the league.

According to the current generally recognized top ten rankings in history, Wang Chao, who has eight crowns in hand, has no suspense and sits firmly in the position of the first person in history. Jordan is in second place, and the six from third to eighth are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Lord of the Rings Russell, Big Bird Bird, O'Neal the Shark and Chamberlain.

As for the ninth and tenth, it is Duncan and Kobe.

Therefore, the rise of a superstar is bound to be accompanied by the tragedy of a group of stars.

Wang Chao's birth has affected players at the same stage as his career to varying degrees, and players who have accumulated more honors during this period will definitely be the most affected.

James has three fewer MVPs, Kobe Duncan has one or two fewer championships, Nowitzki's most valuable championship is gone, and Garnett's core championship in the Green Army has become a leggings champion in the Rockets......

Durant and Curry, as players who joined the league a little later, are a little worse than these predecessors, Durant has not had a regular season MVP and scoring champion so far, and finally won a championship with Wang Chao's thigh, and because of his fancy intestines during the Finals, Wang Chao was torn off the spot and became a laughing stock.

Although Curry won two regular season MVPs because of the league's favor, preventing Wang Chao's monopoly in the MVP field, but so far there has not been a championship that makes him almost the same as the original Nash Jianghu status.

Of course, there are many miserable stars, and there are also many players who have achieved higher achievements because of Wang Chao.

With an NBA championship and FMVP, Nash's all-time status skyrocketed, becoming the second-largest point guard in history after Magic Johnson at the point guard position.

Then there is Howard, although there is no Finals FMVP, the Magic team created a three-consecutive championship dynasty when Howard and Wang Chao partnered, so that his achievements are not inferior to Kobe Bryant in the previous three crowns.

In the same way, Da Yao, who partnered with Wang Chao during the Rocket team, has also been elevated to a very high status in history.

In 2016, Da Yao was officially inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.

Three championships, multiple selections to the All-Star Team of the Season and All-Star honors, making him a well-deserved induction into the Hall of Fame, no jumping clown dares to jump out to comment that Da Yao's qualifications are not enough to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The only pity is that Da Yao did not win the regular season MVP, otherwise he could have surpassed Olajuwon and become the greatest center in the history of the Rockets.

In addition, Leonard, Butler, Jokic and other players won the championship next to Wang Chao, and they have more or less accumulated a lot of honors, of course, the biggest and most honors are still won by Wang Chao.

The topic is a bit far away...... Wang Chao's greatness doesn't need too much narration, even black fans can't find fault with him from the performance on the field, and the only point that can be cut into is Wang Chao's refusal to participate in the national team competition outside the Olympic Games, and the entanglement with the two women is too distracting, and the game is too domineering, which can be called the biggest ball bully in the history of the league, etc., these are naturally not painful.

On Jan. 7, the league began announcing the results of the second round of voting for the 2018 All-Star Draft.

In the first round of voting at the end of December, Wang Chao became the king of the first round of voting without any suspense, whether it was James, Durant, Curry or the newly rising alphabet brother was left behind by Wang Chao, and only one taillight could be seen.

It can be seen from this that Wang Chao's popularity has reached a terrifying level.

This is not only the credit of the huge number of Chinese fans brought by Wang Chao's Chinese identity, Wang Chao also has an extremely large number of fans in the United States.

Just like in China, Kobe James has a lot of fans, the vast majority of fans don't care about nationality, they prefer the star's style of play and performance on the field.

And liking the strong is the habit of the vast majority of fans, unless there are some personal reasons or differences in style and aesthetics, no one will like the loser.

Wang Chao has always appeared on the court as a winner in the past, so the number of fans he has in the United States is also extremely large, no less than James, Curry and others, and even surpassed.

This has always been one of the reasons why the league is more annoyed, and they want to see more stars rise, especially overseas stars, which can help them further develop overseas markets.

But at the same time, they don't want overseas stars to completely dominate the league, because this will make the name of the American professional basketball team a joke, but on the court, they can at most use their hands and feet on the referee's blowing force, and they can't move too much and too obviously, for the current Wang Chao and the Nuggets, it is no longer a factor that can affect the direction of the game too much.
