Harden is currently relying on the highlight performance of the past few games, and the average points per game have surpassed Wang Chao, and currently ranks first in the league scoring list with 34.7 points, 0.2 points higher than Wang Chao's score.

A mere 0.2 points is a trembling thing for Wang Chao.

But if you really score in the previous games, it really wasn't very challenging.

Therefore, Wang Chao plans to surpass Harden in terms of average points per game through a wave of explosive scoring in the last few games in January, and give the opponent a fatal blow, which is called killing and punishing the heart.

First of all was the home game against the Dallas Mavericks on January 27.

That's right, Wang Chao and Harden, the two players who put on the strongest scoring showdown performance in January, finally met head-on near the end of January.

In terms of team record, the Nuggets are far ahead, after all, until now, the Nuggets are still the team with the best record in the West and even in the league.

On the other hand, the Mavericks, even if Harden staged an explosive scoring show, the winning rate was only 8-6, and it was almost entirely Harden who carried the entire team on his shoulders by himself.

This alone shows the difference in strength between the two teams.

Although the Nuggets also seem to be led by Wang Chao, several players on the team have the ability to attack independently, of course, this is not the key, the real key is the defensive system built around Gobert, Tucker and others, which is enough to limit the scoring of any team in the league that meets them to below average.

The Mavericks obviously don't have this point, and even this season's Mavericks are one of the league's highest average points per game, after all, the roster structure of this team is really not good.

Because of this, the Mavericks' current record of ranking seventh in the West is even more valuable, which can reflect the importance and strategic value of Harden.

So far in the regular season, Harden has an efficiency rating of more than 30, and is one of only two players in the league with an efficiency rating of more than 30, the other being Wang Chao.

Harden's efficiency value is much lower than that of Wang Chao, but it is an unwise choice to compete with Wang Chao to compete with various data.

In the past few seasons, there are only James and Curry who can do this in the entire league, and even Westbrook, who replicated the miracle of Wang Chao's average triple-double last season, actually has a big gap between his efficiency and Wang Chao.

Harden can stand at the same height as Wang Chao this season, which is quite commendable in the eyes of many people, which also makes the league really begin to recognize Harden's identity as a top star in the league.

"If Harden can win the regular season MVP this season, then his all-time ranking as an NBA shooting guard will undoubtedly rise, and he will be placed on a platform compared to Wade, Iverson and others."

"If you want to do that, it's not enough for him to have good personal stats, but the Dallas Mavericks' record has to get better, at least to squeeze into the top half of the West, so that they can deserve to be the regular season MVP."

The old mistakes of the local media in the United States have been made again, there is no way, who let Wang Chao's performance and team results this season go to the MVP again?

Wang Chao now has six regular season MVPs, including an unprecedented five-time MVP, and if he continues to win the MVP, the NBA will once again have a record of being played by Wang Chao, and there is no player who has won the most regular season MVPs in the history of the league.

At least so far, even if the gold content of Tiangou Jabbar's six regular season MVPs is criticized, he is also six in terms of quantity, and Wang Chao is now tied for the first place in history, which is undisputed, but if Wang Chao takes another one, then there will be nothing to do with Abdul-Jabbar.

Based on this alone, there are many people who are unwilling to give Wang Chao the opportunity to make history again.

It's just that whether Harden can afford this regular season MVP depends on his own performance and that of the team.

The frequent reversal of right and wrong by the media in the United States has caused dissatisfaction among a large number of fans, and if you want to vote for Harden in the regular season MVP voting session, you must at least have a reasonable and defensible reason.

As for the game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets, a group of media is actually not optimistic about the Mavericks.

No way, who made the difference in strength between the two teams too great? Even if you don't mention the disparity between the teams, that is, Wang Chao and Harden, when the data is close to the advanced data, the actual combat effectiveness is also a big gap in the eyes of many people who know the ball.

The difference between the two shooting percentage is close to 10%, and Harden has nearly doubled the number of free throws made by Wang Chao.

In this case, the difference between Harden and Wang Chao's average points per game is only 0.2 points, and this alone is actually not washed.

And when two players meet head-on in a game, the feeling of Li Kui and Li Ghost is even more obvious.

The Nuggets sat at home, and the result was actually eight or nine ten, and they easily won this game, after all, so far, the Nuggets have only lost 2 games at home in the regular season, and the home court of the Denver Plateau Devils is by no means in vain, let alone the Mavericks who are hovering on the edge of the playoffs.

However, the process of the game still surprised many people.

The focus of everyone's attention in this game is the scoring king battle of Wang Chao vs Harden.

From the very beginning of the game, the eyes of the fans watching this game lit up, because the defender standing in front of Harden was not PJ Tucker, who contributed more and more on the defensive end in the regular season and has gradually become the core of the Nuggets' outside defense, but Wang Chao!

Wang Chao personally stared at Harden, which is a super high-level treatment.

After having Tucker this season, Wang Chao has rarely been responsible for one-on-one defense of the league's top stars, Tucker's job is this, and Wang Chao has no need to compete with him for a job.

Therefore, whether it is facing the Cavaliers' James, the Nets' Durant, or other top outside players in the league, Leonard, Wang Chao will hand over this task to Tucker, and he will devote more energy to offense and organization.

This has also led to the decline of Wang Chao's defensive data, whether it is steals, blocks, or high-level data that cannot be directly observed, Wang Chao has no way to compare with when he won the DPOY Best Defensive Player in previous seasons.

It's just that no one will think that Wang Chao is caused by the decline in his personal level, as long as he gets serious, he is definitely a more terrible defensive player than Tucker...... No, even Gobert, who is currently making a name for himself on the defensive end and has been recognized as the league's top defensive center, is probably not as good as Gobert.

In this game, Wang Chao also proved this very well.

In the face of Wang Chao's defense, Harden shot 9 of 25, 2 of 13 three-pointers, shooting rates of 36% and 15.4% respectively, and 8 of 11 free throws, and finally got 28 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 turnovers.

With 28 points, it became Harden's only game with less than 30 points since entering January.

If it's just like this, what's even worse is that Wang Chao changed the state of touching fish in the previous games in this game, with a strong desire to attack, and he made 31 crazy shots in the whole game, scoring 72 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists with a super high shooting rate!

72 points in a single game, even in Wang Chao's career, it is a super high score that can be ranked in the top three, for this score, he even broke the rule of not playing in garbage time, and continued to stay on the court to score points after the game has completely lost suspense in the fourth quarter, which is the only way to achieve this high score.

Of course, the Mavericks are not willing to let Wang Chao score so uncontrollably, and Harrison, who is mainly responsible for defending Wang Chao throughout the game. Barnes fought for six fouls and left the game, but there was nothing he could do.

The Mavericks themselves are not a team that is good at defense, so how can they defend against Wang Chao?

It is worth mentioning that Wang Chao was also sent off for six fouls in the end, which happened when there was 1 minute and 42 seconds left at the end of the game, if not, in the last less than 2 minutes, with Wang Chao's scoring explosiveness, maybe he could brush up on a higher individual score.

Wang Chao's six fouls left the court, but there is a credit to Harden.

No matter how rich and sharp Wang Chao's defensive experience is, it is impossible to prevent Harden's offensive cheat fouls, no way, the opponent is completely a body hair whistle, the kind that can't be touched at all, Wang Chao ate four fouls on him alone, and he was forced to defend with his hands behind his back in the face of Harden like Paul and James later, but even so, with the assistance of Lion's roar talent, Wang Chao did not let Harden throw a few balls.

When this funny picture appeared, the Nuggets home fans were all angry, thanks to this was a big victory without suspense, otherwise the Nuggets home fans would have to scold the referee's ancestors for 18 generations before they would give up.

72 points against 28 points, a bloody score, makes Harden look like a paper tiger in the eyes of many people, looking like a fierce man, but in fact, he will be shattered as soon as he pokes, and he has no combat effectiveness at all.

"Sure enough, if Harden wants to compete with Wang Chao, he still needs to continue to grow, and fighting on the home court of the Nuggets' devils is not good for Harden, and the loss of this game does not mean that Harden can't do it, it's just that Wang Chao is too strong, and he has taken advantage of the right time, place, and people."

The media that made this kind of evaluation did not expect that Wang Chao's scoring performance was not over.

After scoring a season-high 72 points, Wang Chao was not satisfied, and what he wanted to do was to completely crush Harden in the final few games in January.

The head-to-head matchup with the Mavericks on Jan. 27 was just the beginning, followed by the Nuggets hosting the Boston Celtics on Jan. 29.

Perhaps because of the butterfly effect, Irving was not injured in the Celtics, not only him, but even Gordon. Hayward also avoided a major injury that could be serious to the point of losing the season and even affecting the trajectory of his career due to changes in the schedule.

Therefore, the Celtics have a strong fighting power this season, but the Nets, Cavaliers and Raptors performed more fiercely in the regular season, so they barely relegated to fourth place in the East.

But such a league powerhouse, when the Denver Devils played against the Nuggets at home, the game was not much better than the Mavericks in the last game.

Wang Chao scored 64 points in the whole game, leading the Nuggets to win the game 127:110, with a net victory of 17 points!

The whole coalition was shocked.

"Obediently, Wang Chao, is this going to heaven?"

Two games in a row, one with 72 points and one with 64 points!

Putting aside the ancient beasts, recording the harvester, Wilt, who once averaged 50+ points per game. Chamberlain, Wang Chao is the first player to score 60+ points in a row.

This month, Harden has scored 50+ points in two consecutive games, which has shocked the whole league, who would have thought that Wang Chao's big move is actually behind!

After the game, Celtics head coach Brad Brown. Stevens said helplessly in the face of an interview with reporters.

"Wang Chao is the kind of player who can't defend at all, as long as he's on the field, I can't think of anything to stop him from scoring, which is a very frustrating situation for a team manager, but I really can't find a way to limit him."

The Celtics have conceded an average of 100.4 points per game so far this season, ranking third in the league, second only to the Nuggets and Spurs, and the Miami Heat, which ranks fourth in the league, has conceded an average of 102.9 points per game, which is 2.5 points higher than the Celtics, which shows the Celtics' good defensive efficiency.

But whether it is the Green Army or the Spurs, in the face of Wang Chaoshi, who has an unusually strong desire to attack, they can't find a good way to deal with it.

Coincidentally, after beating the Celtics by a big score on January 29, the Nuggets traveled to face the San Antonio Spurs a day later.

The January schedule is actually not very friendly to the Nuggets, and the two back-to-back road games were actually against the Spurs.

But Wang Chao doesn't care about you, his plan is to give Harden a fatal blow in the last few games in January, and how can he let go of the last game against the Spurs on January 30.

So Butler and Howard suffered again in the game and suffered military training.

Although Popovich continued to use the three-man defensive tactics of the last time, he still couldn't stop Wang Chao from slashing a big triple-double of 60 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

Three games, 72 points, 64 points, 60 points.

Although the points are lower and lower than the game, even the lowest score is enough to make more than 99% of the league's active players look up.

And to get such a high score in three consecutive games, especially the last two games in two days next to each other, against the league's best defensive teams at the moment, is simply incredible.

Harden and the Nuggets have a bit of a burst of mentality after the game, scoring 37 and 34 points in the last two games in January, although they continue to maintain 30+ points, but obviously their spirit has been completely lost by Wang Chao.

"What kind of medicine did I take wrong, so that I have the illusion that I can share with Wang Chaobiao?"
