Chapter 423
Since Oladipo came to the Trail Blazers, he has gained the right to the core of the outside, which made him feel like he was in water, and the data has also risen. After the All-Star, his average per game has also risen to 21 points and 4.7 assists. Middleton also held a responsibilities far beyond the Bucks on the outside, and the data has also increased slightly, with averaging 18.2 points per game, which is very stable. This season, because the team is not running-in enough, there may not be any results in the playoffs, but the future of this team is bright and will not be slumped because of the departure of the star Durant.
From fifth to eighth place in the West are the Thunder, Mavericks, Grizzlies and Jazz.
It is worth mentioning that although the Lakers won Butler, the team's record was not ideal, and they only won 30 wins and 52 losses throughout the season.
Any Lakers game has basically become Kobe's personal tournament. The greatest shooting guard after Jordan has been very squad in the last season of his career. Not only has he won the All-Star vote king, but he also has applause everywhere he goes.
In the last game of the regular season, Kobe scored 60 points in a crazily, giving his career a perfect end. The league was shocked by the 38-year-old scored 60 points.
Kobe's retirement represents the end of an era, but also represents the beginning of a new era.
On the regular season scoring list, it is rare that two players who averaged over 30 points per game appeared at the same time.
Kevin Durant ranked first in scoring 31.2 points per game, while James Harden ranked second in the 30.5 division.
Durant's high score was mainly achieved when he was a Trail Blazers. At that time, the Trail Blazers had only Aldridge, except for Durant, which made Durant's average shots reach 22 times at one point!
After coming to the Bucks, Durant's average shots dropped to about 17 times, but because Thompson, Antetokounmpo and others shared the offensive pressure, their shooting percentage increased and their scoring did not drop significantly.
...
There are two players who averaged more than 30 points per game in a single season, which is a very rare situation in the league. If we go back to the last time, we have to go back to ten years ago, which is the 2005-06 season.
There were three players who averaged 30+ points per game that season, namely Kobe with 35.4 points, Iverson with 33 points and James with 31.4 points.
It’s not that the players at that time had stronger scoring skills than they are now, but that basketball competition has become more mature with the development of the times. On the court, it is difficult to make a difference with just a star.
If you want to win the championship, the Big Three combination is just a standard configuration. Teams such as the Bucks and Wizards are all over the team who have more than three stars who average 20+ points per game. When the ball rights are allocated, the personal score will naturally decrease.
Even Harden in the Kings, there are players like Cousins who share the ball rights in the team.
After two 30+ points, Curry's 28.9 points and Westbrook's 27.4 points.
Ranked fifth in the scoring list is Antetokounmpo, antetokounmpo, which no one would have imagined.
Antetokounmpo averaged 26.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game throughout the season! He made an indelible contribution to the Bucks being the top of the league!
Almost everyone can see that Antetokounmpo’s future is promising, but many people have not expected such a fast growth rate. Just looking at the performance this season, Antetokounmpo is completely an MVP-level player!
James's 25.9 points, Lillard's 25.1 points, George's 24.8 points, Davis's 24.3 points and Leonard's 23.5 points respectively ranked sixth to tenth in the scoring list.
As always, Drummond, Jordan Jr. and Whiteside are still monopolizing the top three, and even Howard can only rank fourth.
In terms of assist list, the competition is fierce this season, with 6 players averaging double-digit assists per game. Jeremy Lin regained the title of assist king with 12.3 assists per game. Rondo ranked second in the area with 11.7 assists per game, Westbrook ranked third in the average of 10.4 assists per game, while Wall's 10.2 assists per game and Paul's 10 assists followed closely behind in fourth and fifth in fourth.
It is worth mentioning that although no player has averaged more than 7 assists per game this season, four players have averaged more than 4 assists per game, and the team ranks third in the league in terms of assists per game.
Antetokounmpo averaged 5.5 assists per game, Durant averaged 4.6 assists per game, Thompson averaged 4.2 times per game, and Jokic averaged 6.1 times per game!
...
The end of the regular season also means the start of the playoffs in full swing.
On April 13, the Bucks ended their last regular season game, and on April 17, the first round of the playoffs officially began.
The Bucks' opponent in the first round is the Detroit Pistons, ranked eighth in the East, which is the team of Wang Xiao's disciple Wang Meng.
What impressed people most about this team is the Pistons Five Tigers who smashed the dream of the Lakers' Big Four in 2003-04, which indirectly led to the OK group's split.
Of course, at present, the five Pistons are old. The main core of the new Pistons is the rebounding maniac Andre Drummond, who averages 16.6 points and 14.8 rebounds per game in the regular season. As the leader of a team, he is not qualified, but as a blue-collar who grabs rebounds, he is impeccable.
The Pistons' starting players are Reggie Jackson, Tobias Harris, Cardville Pope and the third pick in the first round of this year's Chinese player Wang Meng.
With this lineup's pretty good defensive ability, the Pistons defeated the Pacers and Magic and successfully entered the playoffs.
Unfortunately, they will face Wang Xiao and his Bucks in the first round.
Before the two teams started, the media's game predictions were all one-sided. Almost everyone believed that the Bucks could easily defeat or even directly sweep the Pistons.
The Pistons can only be considered to be a well-behaved defensive ability, obviously it cannot defend the Bucks' sharp attack at all. When facing the Bucks' defense that is much better than them, they cannot find a point that can break the deadlock in terms of offense.
The two teams perfectly demonstrated these existing problems in the first game.
Antetokounmpo is completely unstoppable on the offensive end, especially when Jokic also pulled out of the inside and forced Drummond to stay away from the three-second zone, no one can stop Antetokounmpo.
Wang Meng may be able to do it, but his main task in this game is to defend Durant. After all, the whole league has a consensus on how much threat the God of Death Durant has on the offensive end.
