The Jazz's victory over the Rockets is not that the team has run in to produce chemistry, and the overall play is excellent, but it is just that Wang Chao is good enough.

In the whole game, Wang Chao played for 45 minutes, slashed 60 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, and won the game completely by himself.

During the game, Leonard was in the opposite position with Wang Chao throughout the game, but there was no way to take Wang Chao.

How terrifying Wang Chao is with full firepower, this game shows it vividly.

Relying on Wang Chao's supernatural performance of 60 points in a single game, the Jazz team successfully improved its record to 2 wins and 2 losses.

The team won two games, the first with 41 points in the third quarter and the second with 60 points.

Even Jazz fans are a little worried.

"Don't fight like this, what if Wang Chao is tired and tired?"

No matter how good Wang Chao is, the fact that he is already a 37-year-old veteran is unavoidable.

There are too many cases of over-fatigue in the league that have led to injuries to stars.

The most typical is Kobe Bryant of the Lakers in the 12-13 season.

At that time, in order to bring the Lakers to the playoffs, Kobe Bryant played almost every full 48 minutes and scored 30+ points in 14 of 16 games, including 10 consecutive 30+ games.

The high-intensity and high-frequency attendance made Kobe extremely tired, and eventually led to a ruptured Achilles tendon, a serious injury that could affect the player's athletic career.

Wang Chao's current age is two years older than Kobe Bryant at that time, is it really okay to play like this?

Then in the fifth game of the Jazz regular season, Wang played 42 minutes and scored 52 points to lead the Jazz to three consecutive victories.

With an average of 50 points per game in three games, Wang Chao is like going to heaven.

Fans across the league went from surprise and shock to numbness.

Because in the next month, Wang Chao never scored less than 40 points, played at least 44 minutes in almost every game, and broke through career highs in terms of average shots and points per game, and quickly got rid of the gap with scorers in other leagues with extremely terrifying scoring efficiency.

By the end of the January 2021 season, Wang's average points per game had increased to 46.2.

The almost terrifying performance on the offensive end has shrunk his other statistics across the board, averaging only 7.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, while the steals and blocks have also dropped significantly, and the contribution value on the defensive end is no longer among the best as in previous years.

But who cares about the decline in these areas?

Wang Chao is now averaging 46.2 points per game!

What is this concept?

In the history of the NBA, only two people have ever averaged 40+ points per game in a single season.

One is Wang Chao during the 2011-12 season, Wang Chao, who was in the Rockets at the time, because of the reimbursement of Da Yao's season, and there was no strong enough teammate support in the team, he made crazy shots on the offensive end under the single-core leadership, and shot out an average of 40.7 points per game.

This score shocked the whole league at the time and caused quite a stir.

Who would have thought that after ten years, Wang Chao would once again reproduce the original miracle, and go further, scoring an average of 46 points per game!

This is very close to Chamberlain's average of 50.4 points per game, but it is important to know that this era is completely different from ancient times.

Chamberlain lived in an era when the league was still in chaos, with uneven player strength, and some players were completely amateur in quality, not even comparable to the CBA.

Chamberlain's talent was exactly like an adult beating a child in that era, and only a team with a high number of high-level players like Russell's Celtics would not be afraid of a monster like Chamberlain.

But the times are different now, the development of NBA basketball competitions, fierce competition, so that the level of players is constantly improving.

If in ancient times, the ratio of Chamberlain's strength to the league's average strength was about 100:30, now the ratio of top superstars to the league's average is almost 100:70.

So in this league, it is basically impossible to average 50 points per game like Chamberlain.

Jordan, who is as strong as the god of basketball, has never done it.

But now, the new basketball god is infinitely closer to that goal!

Although the regular season has only lasted for a month and a half, no one will doubt that as long as Wang Chao does not have injury problems, it is difficult to say whether the average points per game can be increased to 50 points, but it is not a big problem to maintain the status quo and continue to maintain an average score of 46 points per game.

The explosive scoring performance made Wang Chao elected the best player of the month in January without any suspense, and the Jazz team also achieved a 16-7 record because of Wang Chao.

This record is second in the West, behind the 18-6 Warriors, while in the league it is fourth in the league, and the Nets and Bucks in the East are also slightly better than the Jazz.

But who cares about the difference between two wins at this time?

Wang Chao's exaggerated performance on the scoring end has overshadowed everyone.

After Durant's comeback on the Nets' side, he did not lose as much as some fans imagined, which is also a matter of course, Durant has always relied on his accurate hand feeling on the court, as well as static talents such as height and arm span, injuries have reduced his explosiveness, but it has not affected his performance on the court too much.

However, since the Nets' Jokic and Booker have both risen last season, Durant naturally appropriately reduced his shots, averaging only about 26 points and 7 rebounds per game.

He has also made statistical sacrifices in order to win this season, slightly reducing the number of shots he takes, while focusing more on defense, which has kept his average stats at 28+11+6 per game.

There are only three players in the league who average more than 30 points per game, except for Wang Chao, namely Curry of the Warriors, Beal of the Wizards and Harden of the Mavericks.

This is a slight departure from the original history.

In the 20-21 season of the original time and space, it was Curry of the Warriors who won the scoring title, when Thompson was still reimbursed for the season due to injury, and Curry under the leadership of a single core averaged 32 points per game in the regular season to win the scoring title, but the Warriors lost to the Lakers and Grizzlies in the play-offs, and unfortunately missed the playoffs.

Another player who averages 30+ points per game is Bradley of the Wizards. Bill.

As for Harden, he didn't have anything to do with the scoring list in the 20-21 season.

Because he never had a chance to win a championship with the Rockets, Harden gradually got tired of it and wanted to join a team with championship quality, and then joined the Nets.

This deal made the Nets the biggest favorites to win the championship, and also made other veterans see the hope of winning the championship in the Nets, and they took the initiative to take a salary cut to vote, including Griffin of the Pistons and Aldridge of the Spurs.

Harden, who came to hug the thighs of his former big brother Durant and Ou Shenxian, has a completely different status from the Rockets, and his average points per game have dropped sharply from 34.3 points in the previous season to 24.8 points.

In fact, Harden in this period is not weak, after all, the average of 25 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists per game is definitely superstar-level.

But there are too many rights and wrongs for the Nets.

Ou Shenxian is doing things all day long, Durant is not high in attendance due to injuries, and as a result, Harden was also injured in the playoffs, and the Nets also lost to the Bucks, the champion of the year, in the playoffs, and the dream of winning the championship was shattered.

After that, Harden chose to go to the 76ers, and after Jordan Bryant, the league's most scoring point guard gradually transformed into an organizational player with an average of 20+10 per game with the Nets and the 76ers.

But in this time and space, Harden has not yet started the journey of wandering legs, he is still the only core in the Mavericks, the thickest thighs, the ball and the number of shots are also very high, with his ability, the average of 30+ points per game is naturally easy.

Just looking up, Wang Chao, who ranked first in the scoring list, was already nearly 20 points ahead of them, and that feeling of powerlessness from the heart arose.

The gap is too big, and their scoring ability is not at the same dimensional level as Wang Chao!

——

In February, Wang Chao's crazy scoring performance continued.

Compared with the Jazz team, the players gradually ran into chemistry and came up with a suitable tactical system, and the whole team made tactical arrangements around Wang Chao, taking advantage of the deterrent power brought by Wang Chao's super scoring ability to attract opponents to defend and score points.

Westbrook's average points per game have fallen below 20 points, and he is currently averaging 18.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 12.2 assists per game.

Averages 46 points per game is not easy to achieve, and it is difficult to do it just by attacking with the ball, because attacking with the ball will consume more energy in the face of tight marking by defenders.

Therefore, in the process of the game, Wang Chao used a lot of off-ball play, including running without the ball when he started out, and imitating the low-post ball of the inside center.

Of course, the most tactics he uses are still the cover tactics like Curry, which uses teammates to block and cover and shoot three-pointers from the outside.

Westbrook played the role of Wang Chao who passed the ball over as soon as he appeared vacant, and assisted in the brush.

In addition to Wang Chao and Westbrook in the Jazz team, there is only Jordan. Clarkson and Anthony off the bench averaged double-doubles per game, one 10.4 points and the other 12.7 points, while the rest of the players, including Aaron Gordon and Howard, averaged single-digit points per game.

But this is naturally irrelevant, Wang Chao's score alone is enough to fill the vacancy of other players' lack of scores.

The Jazz have steadily improved their record under Wang's strong scoring performance, and their record has surpassed the Warriors at the end of the February season, leading the Western Conference with a 26-11 record.

In February, the Jazz also played the Warriors head-to-head twice, one at home and one away, with two games winning 1-1, and both teams won on their respective home courts.

This also proves that the strength of the Jazz team is indeed poor, which is in stark contrast to Wang Chao's ease in defeating the Warriors when he was with the Clippers.

Although Wang Chao's average of 40+ points per game is very shocking, the hearts of many teams in the league have gradually settled down.

As long as he can see the hope of winning the game, Wang Chao is not so terrible, let alone an average of 46 points per game, even if he really averages 50 points per game, when the defensive level of the playoffs is improved and his other teammates are locked, won't victory still be within reach?

But that being said...... The regular season schedule has unconsciously passed halfway, Wang Chao has not missed a single game in 37 games, and the playing time has always been maintained at more than 40 minutes.

But Wang Chao has always been full of vitality and has no fatigue at all, and even rushed to the airport immediately after the competition many times, and flew to Los Angeles overnight by plane, just to be able to spend a two-day short vacation with his children, which is really incomprehensible and unacceptable.

Of course, they don't understand, the problem of injuries Wang Chao has a talent of steel and iron bones, and a lot of physical consumption in each game, there are also physical potions to solve their worries.

Only Wang Chao can do such a thing.

——

While the whole league is keeping a close eye on Wang's super solo show, as the time enters March, the All-Star Weekend and the trade deadline are approaching, the situation in the league is starting to change a little.

Don't mention it on the All-Star Weekend, Wang Chao has no suspense about being the western ticket king again, and the eastern ticket king was won by Durant, who returned from injury and staged the return of the king, with emotional extra points.

Wang Chao doesn't pay attention to the All-Star game at all, and he only plays a symbolic show for ten minutes in the game.

After All-Star Weekend, it's the final window of free agency, and teams are making final trades in preparation for a playoff shot or a championship.

And for some veterans who want to win a championship and are still free agents, this is also the last chance of the season.

That's right, this refers to the two All-Star power forwards who recently reached buyout agreements with the Pistons and the Trail Blazers, respectively.

Blake. Griffin & LaMarcus. Aldridge.

Both of them were All-Stars who could easily get an average of 20+10 per game at their peak, and they are strong, and they still have good strength.

It's just that for the Pistons and the Trail Blazers, these two older players are still on super contracts with an annual salary of 20 or 30 million, which naturally does not meet the team's plan for the future, and a buyout agreement is the best choice.

The two men, who reached buyout agreements with their respective teams, became free agents in early March and, of course, drew a lot of scramble from teams around the league.

Griffin and Aldridge, worth 30 million, are undoubtedly super garbage contracts.

But the two veterans with a base salary are really fragrant.

After all, last season, in the 19-20 season, Griffin averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds per game in the Pistons, while Aldridge could get 18 points and 7.4 rebounds in the Trail Blazers.

It is obvious that their strength is still there, but the final decision was made because of the team's squad adjustments, their own age and injuries, and the problems of the epidemic.

After becoming free agents, the two people who attracted the whole league to coax each other coincidentally chose the same team.

On March 10, Griffin and Aldridge issued a statement almost simultaneously, announcing that they would join the Utah Jazz, sign a veteran base salary with the team, and wear the Jazz jersey for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.

As soon as this news came out, the whole alliance was shocked!
