Only 132 points away! Lao Zhan Yingshen-level milestone, KD Harden Wei Shao can't do it, Luka is expected to achieve it

The Thunder, Timberwolves, Clippers, Mavericks, Lakers, and Warriors in the West, and the Green Army, Bucks, Cavaliers, Knicks, and Heat in the East are all proud to defeat the defending champion Nuggets. The Los Angeles Lakers won the midseason championship in the middle of the season, but they will never be satisfied with this, especially Lao Zhan, who is always full of desire for the NBA championship. In this process, Lao Zhan is also writing his own legend.

Turning back the clock to last season, Lao Zhan led the Lakers to complete two rounds of Black Seven Miracles. Even though the Lakers were swept out of the Western Conference finals by the champion Nuggets 4-0, even though this was the first time in Lao Zhan's career that he was shaved by an opponent in a playoff series, Lao Zhan and the Lakers still won widespread praise, just because they exceeded the expectations of the outside world in adversity! In the first 20 seasons of his career, Lao Zhan reached the division finals 12 times, with total playoff appearances, total points, total rebounds, total assists, total steals, total three-point shots, Ranked in the top 5 all-time in terms of total shots and many other statistics, you have to give a thumbs up to such an NBA hexagonal god of war - even if he is not the highest mountain in your mind, he can be called the longest river in NBA history!

The new season is the 21st season of his career, and he is the sixth player in NBA history to do so, joining Willis (21 seasons), Parish (21 seasons), Nowitzki (21 seasons), Garnett (21 seasons) and Carter (22 seasons). Compared with the 5 predecessors, Lao Zhan's excellence lies in the fact that he is at the peak of his debut, and he has been at the top for 20 years, from young Zhan to the little emperor to Lao Zhan, writing a series of his own history No. 1. For example, Lao Zhan is the youngest champion, youngest best rookie, youngest All-Star MVP and youngest vote king in NBA history, and Lao Zhan is also the youngest Mr. 5,000, Mr. 10,000, Mr. 20,000, Mr. 30,000 and Mr. 38,000 in NBA history.

Lao Zhan once said in an interview at the beginning of training camp: The main goal of the new season is to stay healthy and shoot more three-pointers. But the result? Lao Zhan "broke his promise" again - he did not rely too much on the most energy-saving three-point shot to output points, but instead averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game with the second-highest three-point shooting rate in his career (39.5%, second only to 40.6% in the 12-13 season); As of the All-Star Weekend, Lao Zhan has played in 49 games, averaging 24.8 points + 7.2 rebounds + 7.8 assists + 1.3 steals per game, with a shooting rate of 52% and a true shooting rate of 61.1%. At the same time, Lao Zhan is about to usher in a god-level milestone.

According to statistics from the NBA's official website, as of now, Lao Zhan's regular season career total score is 39,868 points, ranking first in NBA history, only 132 points away from the 40,000-point mark. According to Lao Zhan's average output of 20+ per game this season, as long as Lao Zhan remains healthy and stable, he is expected to complete this god-level milestone within 6-8 games, becoming the first Mr. 40,000 points in NBA history, and by the way, becoming the first player in NBA history to complete at least 40,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists, unprecedented! Looking at the league today, Durant, who ranks second on the active scoring list, has a total score of only 28,245 points in the regular season, Harden, who ranks third, has a total score of only 25,531 points, and Wei Shao, who ranks fourth, has a total score of only 25,061 points. Even if they all fight until the age of 40 like Lao Zhan, it seems that it will be difficult to complete the 40,000-point mark.

It's not so much that KD, Harden, and Wei Shao are not strong enough, but that Lao Zhan's scoring output is too crazy, and the milestone of 40,000 points is too difficult, and it requires a star to average more than 25 points per game for 20 consecutive years before it can be expected to break it, and it has extremely high requirements for scoring efficiency, health and other aspects. Looking at the league today, among the new generation of stars, Luka Doncic may be the only player who can challenge this god-level record. Luka, in his sixth season, has scored 73 points per game and averaged 34.2 points per game, making him the highest scoring average in the sixth season of his career in the 21st century. Throughout Doncic's entire career, he averaged 28.4 points per game, which is slightly better than the old Zhan in the same period! More importantly, Luka's floor-flowing style of play met the good times when offense was king, and scoring was too simple for him. Hopefully, Luka can stay fit and love basketball and try to break the god-level record of Lao Zhan.

But then again, for Lao Zhan, being crowned the NBA's all-time scoring champion or completing the 40,000-point mark is just a footnote to his brilliant career. These footnotes are not the end of Lao Zhan's struggle, but a new starting point for him to continue to write the legend, and also guide the direction of hard work for the future waves. This is Lao Zhan, like a living fossil walking in the alliance, a small step forward is a big step out of reach for the back waves. I hope Lao Zhan will make persistent efforts, continue to surpass himself, and continue to write legends! Fans and friends, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
