Although Wang Chao was a far lead in the All-Star vote, the rest of the Nuggets' players did not get a good vote in the All-Star vote.

There's no way, who makes most of the Nuggets' players just starting to make their mark?

Although Gobert has ended his four-year rookie contract, he has only been a bench player with limited playing time for the past four years, and even if he has shown strong dominance on the defensive end this season, his personal data has only been 7.4 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks so far, which is definitely not very impressive.

In the entire Nuggets team, only Derrick on the bench can be slightly ranked in the vote. Rose is just that, after all, he was once the Windy City Roses, Rose was an All-Star starter in the East for two years, because of his explosive style of play and the reputation of inheriting Joe's gang leader in the Bulls, he has gained a lot of fans, even if it is now twilight, but he still has a group of die-hard fans.

It's just that Rose is now just a substitute player after all, and the average of 16+5 per game is not enough to bring him back to his former glory, so in the voting ranking of defenders, only some die-hard fans voted, Rose ranked sixth, and the five guards in front of him received votes from high to low. Curry, Manu. Ginobili, James. Harden, Russell. Westbrook and Clay. Thompson.

It can be seen that even if Rose is shortlisted for the 18-year All-Star, it is unlikely that he will be selected through voting, and it is unlikely that he will enter through the All-Star bench channel in the future.

It is worth mentioning that the Spurs player Manu, who is over 40 years old. Ginobili, as a decorated veteran of the Spurs, was able to beat Harden to rank second in the Western Conference guard poll, second only to Curry, which really surprised many people.

You must know that Ginobili's performance this season is not particularly good, as the same backup sixth man positioning as Rose, Ginobili averages only 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

But as we all know, this season may be the last season of the player's career who has been dedicated to the Spurs for 16 seasons, so out of feelings, the number of fans who voted for Ginobili is quite large, and even slightly ahead of Harden, who has exploded in scoring output recently, is jaw-dropping.

However, Harden obviously belongs to the type of coming from behind, in the first round of voting in December, the difference between him and Ginobili is still relatively obvious, but in the second round of voting in January, the gap between the two is very small, according to this trend, when the third round or the final voting results are announced, Harden is very likely to overtake Ginobili.

This is mainly due to Harden's high-scoring performance after entering January.

As I said before, Wang Chao and Harden's score war, as the schedule entered January, it began to officially unfold, Wang Chao has already scored 50+ points in two games, Harden is also not to be outdone, and the next few games continue to cut 40+ high scores, it seems that Wang Chao is really on the same page, not giving up an inch.

The firepower of Harden is indeed ruthless enough, and the scoring ability alone can indeed slightly get Wang Chao, you don't care how high the proportion of free throws in his score is, being able to win foul free throws through his own offense and feints is a kind of ability in itself, otherwise why are there few other players in the league who can make fouls like Harden and eat and drink?

And Harden's super scoring ability is not only reflected in the fight against weak teams, like Wang Chao, when playing against strong opponents, Harden can also score high points.

On January 16, the Mavericks host the Brooklyn Nets.

At this time, the Chinese translation name of the Mavericks has been officially changed to the Dallas Mavericks, and with the new team name, the Mavericks and the Nets have a fierce battle on their home court.

Both teams are well-known offensive teams in the league, strong in attack and weak in defense, so the game was a fierce battle from the first quarter.

After the fourth quarter, the two teams tied the game at 131-131 and went into overtime, and then in overtime, the Nets narrowly won the game with a score of 14-11.

Although the team lost the game, for the Mavericks' home fans, this game was a feast for their eyes, the extreme offensive bombardment was overwhelming, and Harden's super scoring ability comparable to Wang Chao was also exciting.

In this game, Harden shot 16 of 34, 5 of 19 three-pointers, and although the shooting percentage was slightly worse, he made an exaggerated 21 of 23 free throws, and finally slashed 58 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, which was the main reason why the Mavericks could compete with the Nets, a team with a top lineup, to overtime.

In this game, Harden perfectly replicated the 1v3 and 1v4 dramas that Wang Chao often staged on the court.

On the Nets' side, Durant scored 33 points, Paul had 18 points and nine assists, Murray had 27 points, and Jokic had 22 points.

Durant, who is known as the strongest scoring ability among the active players in the league under the Wang Chao, actually scored weaker than Harden in a direct matchup, which really surprised many people.

However, the same is scoring, Durant and Harden are obviously completely different, Durant's scoring is more reflected in efficiency, stability, limited by physical fitness, Durant rarely has a high score or a few consecutive games to cut super high scoring performance, but he can maintain a high scoring efficiency for a long time, and provide stable scoring in every game.

Just like in this game, despite scoring 33 points lower than Harden, Durant shot 60% from the field, and he could have scored even more if he hadn't made just 3 of 4 free throws from the field.

In other words, if Harden minus 21 of 23 free throws, the score is not much different from Durant, and the shooting efficiency is far from the same.

However, this kind of elimination of free throw scoring, elimination of fast-break scoring measurement method, itself is a very brainless statement, no matter what kind of scoring method, being able to score is an effective offense, people NBA officials admit it, why do a group of fans not recognize it?

The Mavericks lost to the team's lineup, and currently there is only Harrison on the team except for Harden. Barnes and Nowitzki, who is only a year younger than Ginobili.

Although both scored 20 points in this game, it is clear that they are completely unable to compare with the Nets' luxurious main lineup.

Harden can be regarded as a glorious defeat in this battle, and continues to fight with Wang Chao.

By the end of the game with the Nets, Harden had played 8 games in January, including 50+ points in two games, 40+ points in three games, and more than 35 points in the remaining three games, with an average of 45 points per game.

"45 points per game so far in January! The birth of another historical-level super scorer, Harden will become the fourth phenomenal super scorer in the league in the new century after Wang Chao, Jordan, and Kobe! ”

"Wang Chao vs Harden, who will kill the deer in this cosmic-level scoring battle?"

The media of the United States naturally did not hesitate to publicize and hype about this matchup, and it successfully aroused the enthusiastic attention of the fans of the whole country.

This is not surprising, the United States finally came up with a super scorer who can score against Wang Chao, which makes the fans of the United States who have been suppressed by Wang Chao and Huaguo Basketball for several years have a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

This is really not easy, the NBA has always been the world of stars in the United States since the past, whether it is Russell in ancient times, the black and white period of Magic Johnson and Big Bird Bird, or the Jordan Bulls dynasty, and then to the three consecutive championships of the OK combination, dominating the league, and the players who were crowned the first person in the league are all local stars of the United States.

But Wang Chao's birth has allowed the league to enter a stage where it has been dominated by overseas players for ten years or more.

James, Durant, Curry, these stars who have high hopes from fans in the United States and hope to break Wang Chao's monopoly are all disappointing without exception, especially Durant, who not only couldn't beat Wang Chao, but was even captured by Wang Chao as a prisoner of war, holding Wang Chao's thigh and lying down for a crown.

Now they have finally found another Harden who can fight with Wang Chao in the scoring field, which naturally attracts the attention of the whole people, and they really hope that a local player in the United States can beat Wang Chao head-on in the field of scoring.

With such a huge support, Harden's popularity has risen rapidly, and he directly surpassed Ginobili in the third round of All-Star voting and won the vote to catch up with Western Conference guard Curry.

On the court, Harden's performance did not live up to the expectations of fans, after scoring 58 points in a single game, Harden scored 37 points, 48 points, and 40 points in the next few games.

And on January 25, in the team's home game against the Toronto Raptors, Harden broke out again, making 22 of 25 free throws, slashing 61 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, leading the Mavericks to beat the Raptors by 2 points.

With the help of 61 points in a single game, Harden regained the top spot in terms of points per game, and returned to the top of the scoring list with a 0.2-point advantage.

All-Rice fans rejoiced and cheered on Harden's shocking scoring performance in January, because Harden really did it.

"In this scoring war, Harden has taken the initiative, although Wang Chao at the beginning of January, he showed not inferior to Harden's scoring ability, and also had a continuous 50+ scoring performance, but then his average points per game began to decline, and he only scored 30+ points in several consecutive games, it may be a bit exaggerated to describe 30+ points, but compared with Harden's performance, it is indeed still a lot inferior."

"This is also normal, Harden is only 29 years old, Wang Chao is about to be 35 years old, the age gap makes the two have a gap in physical fitness, no matter how good Wang Chao's body is, no matter how full of physical fitness, it will be difficult for players to escape the shackles of age, and the era of Wang Chao will eventually end."

Similar related remarks began to gradually increase, all of which were saying that Wang Chao was not at the peak and was about to grow old, and the alliance would enter a new era.

I don't know, I thought that Wang Chao had already pulled, and his personal data was declining rapidly.

But in fact, looking at the statistics, Wang Chao has averaged 34.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game so far this season......

He ranks second on the scoring list, just 0.2 points below No. 1 Harden's 34.7 points per game.

He is second on the assists list, behind Westbrook, who is still on his way to completing a triple-double per game.

Is this TM old? You're not kidding me, are you?

There are now only two players in the league who average more than 30 points per game, and both of them score as many as 34 points, ahead of Anthony, who is now third on the scoring list and averages 28 points per game. Davis was a whopping six.

But many media can't manage so much, and finally come out with a star who can compare with Wang Chao a little bit, don't seize the opportunity to tout it, when will rice basketball really raise its head?

In fact, they also know that there is a very important factor in Wang Chao's average points per game being overtaken by Harden, that is, the Nuggets' combat effectiveness is too strong, and many times with the league's top defense and first-class offense, they have established double-digit or even more scores after the end of the third quarter of the game, causing the game to enter garbage time early.

Wang Chao generally disdains to continue to play in garbage time to score points, which is not interesting.

In January, he played just over 30 minutes most of the time, which was very different from Harden.

On Harden's side, the average playing time per game in January has been close to 40 minutes, limited by the problem of the Mavericks lineup, many games are very anxious, and the winner can not be determined until the last minute, which also gives Harden more opportunities to score than Wang Chao, which can be seen from the average number of shots per game.

Harden averaged nearly 30 shots per game in January, and although Wang Chao's average shots per game were also quite a lot, the difference between 24 shots and Harden was quite large.

But these detailed data, the media will not list, they want to create momentum for Harden, not to prove that although Harden is slightly better than Wang Chao in scoring data, the two still have a big gap in scoring efficiency.

But this kind of thing can't be hidden from real fans, many fans are dissatisfied with the media's deliberate suppression of Wang Chao, criticize the media's false reports on the Internet, and list Wang Chao and Harden's performance since January in detail, in order to prove that Wang Chao is more than a little stronger than Harden.

As for Wang Chao, he also wants to have a showdown with Harden in January.

At the beginning of January, Wang Chao still wanted to compete directly with Harden.

But after playing a few games, Wang Chao realized that even Harden could not compare with him in terms of scoring ability and explosiveness.

So Wang Chao began to change his tactical strategy, and the competition to score still had to be carried out, but Wang Chao planned to change the way he played.

It's like a 100-meter race, first let the opponent run a distance of 20.50 meters, and then he starts to catch up, which can be regarded as adding a little more difficulty to the game.

Now, the January schedule has entered the final state, and Wang Chao is also beginning to plan to close the net!
