Chapter 376: The era of Chinese kid's rebounding domination
Here, Chen Mu and his teammates are practicing hard in the equipment room, waiting for the start of the playoffs.
Over there, with the regular season coming to an end, some at-a-glance season awards have been released.
In fact, it should not be called an award, but a single king of data, at the end of the regular season, everyone's data has stabilized, so who is the scoring king and who is the rebounding king, and other information, it is obvious.
On the scoring list, Kobe, who has three high-ranking assistants, slipped a little from the list of the most terrible scoring maniacs, and the person with the highest points per game this season became LeBron James.
With an average of exactly 30 points per game, LeBron won the first scoring title trophy of his career.
In fact, judging from the data alone, LeBron's performance of 30 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game is absolutely terrifying. But in terms of team records, it is indeed not as dazzling as in previous years. In the first two years, the Cavaliers, who won 50 wins in two consecutive seasons, made people seem to see the rise of a generation of Eastern giants. But this season, the Cavaliers suffered a small Waterloo, and the record did not advance but retreated, which made many fans feel a little incomprehensible.
But you and I both know that this is just a small break for the new king, and next season, the Cavaliers will set a terrible record.
Statistically, LeBron definitely qualifies as the MVP this season, but the MVP trophy has always been tied to the record. Public opinion still generally believes that the MVP trophy should belong to Kobe.
This has to do with the Lakers' wonderful performance this season, and it also has to do with LeBron's age.
"30+8+7 per game?? This guy is only 23 years old??! MVP will be given to him later, he still has a chance! ”
Perhaps many voters think so.
After that, there is the list of rebounding kings.
This season's rebounds per game list shows a very interesting trend, just like the team record ranking in the West, which is also the top two teams. Most of the rebounders have rebounding numbers between 10 and 12, and one rebounder broke the 13 mark and performed eye-catchingly. But it still can't be compared with the top two BT masters.
Fifth. Tim Duncan, averaging 11.3 rebounds per game, is old and strong, but no one thought that this guy would be so strong for so long into the future.
Fourth, Tyson Chandler. Averaging 11.7 rebounds per game, the Hornets center has become the backbone of the Hornets' interior defense under Paul's system, and the aerial relay on the offensive end has also become one of the most unforgettable memories in the minds of countless Paul fans.
Third, Marcus Camby, averaged 13.1 rebounds per game. Few people have noticed that Camby, once known as the most watery DPOY, was in the 2007-2008 season, at least in terms of defensive stats. Compared to the previous season, that is, the performance of the DPOY season, it is a step forward.
From 2006 to 2007, Camby averaged 11.7 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game and played 33.8 minutes.
In the 2007-2008 season, Camby averaged 13.1 rebounds per game. 3.6 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. The improvement in rebounding and blocking stats is noticeable. In terms of playing time, it is only a few dozen seconds more than last season.
It's a statistic that would be a strong contender for DPOY in any given year, but it's a shame that Camby has run into a defensive monster this season, one that doesn't need to be a tough stat to make anyone watching the game feel like a suffocating defensive style monster.
This is also a career paradox for Marcus Camby, who has multiple seasons of stats that match or even surpass those great defensive centers. For example, the capital of Big Ben. But no matter how many blocks he dished, no matter how many rebounds he grabbed, no matter how amazingly he improved in the late stages of his career, defensive stats have improved slightly every year in the four years since he turned 30. And this season, when he reached the 33-year-old mark, he achieved the most brilliant defensive stats of his career.
People still don't recognize his defense, thinking that he is a data brush, a defender who is not worthy of the name, and an incompetent guy who deliberately exposes gaps in order to defend statistics.
If you think about it, Camby is a four-time career blocker named Abdul-Jabbar and Mark Eaton.
Three of them were the Block Kings trifecta, with Mutombo sharing the title.
At least when it comes to capping, Camby is a master-level artist. What he did, Manute Pol didn't do, Olajuwon didn't do, Mourning didn't do it, Ratlleaf, Howard, Ibaka, none of them did.
Ben Wallace? With a slight surprise, there was only one block king in his career.
Even in a few years, at the end of Camby's career, he could still grab 9.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 0.9 steals in 24 minutes in Houston.
At that time, he was 37 years old.
And throughout his career, the largest salary he has ever received is 11.74 million a year, compared with his data, is it a lot?
Is Marcus Camby, really an overrated defender?
It's far away, back to the rebounding list.
No. 2, Phoenix Suns, Dwight Howard.
Howard, who came to the Suns, has adapted well to a faster offensive and defensive system, averaging 14.9 rebounds per game, a significant improvement from last season. There are already many experts lamenting for Howard, if he was not born in this era, if he was not sandwiched between the old and new generations of rebounders, maybe he could have won several rebounding titles in his career.
Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?
A guy who can grab close to 15 rebounds per game has become a poor player who seems to never be able to win the rebounding king in the eyes of the media and ball critics.
Howard, who is still very young, is only 22 years old, and this year is the second year in a row that he has been selected as an All-Star, and his personal data has seen a small blowout, and his average rebounds per game have surpassed the 14 mark for the first time.
Compared with last season, Chen Mu, who finally won the title of rebounding king, averaged 14.1 rebounds per game, and Howard's data this year went further, if the comparison was with Chen Mu last year. He deserves his first career rebounding title.
But Howard is improving, and Chen Mu is also improving.
Howard, who grabbed 10 rebounds in his rookie season at the beginning of his career and more than 12 rebounds every year for the next two years, encountered the man named Garnett. Failed to get the supreme honor of being a rebounding master.
Now, Garnett's career has entered the middle and late stages, and after coming to the Celtics, due to tactical influences, rebounding statistics have declined dramatically. Originally, this season was supposed to be the season when Howard began to become a god in rebounding statistics, but unfortunately, he ran into a Chinese kid.
No. 1 in the rebounding list, averaging 15.4 rebounds per game, Chinese kid. Chen Mu.
The Philadelphia 76ers' rebounding total has begun to slowly climb in the league, and in addition to Chen Mu, backup power forward Evans has also contributed a lot. But everyone knows that the rebounding core of the 76ers is always the big man from China.
This young man, who has worked hard since losing the draft, seems to be about to start an era.
An era that has been dubbed "the most terrible list domination in the history of modern basketball".
A glorious era that belongs to Chinese kids.
In less than three years of his career, two rebounding champions, Chen Mu's rebounding performance has made people a little aesthetically fatigued.
14.1 rebounds last season. This year, it has further surpassed the 15 mark, and people are marveling at the rebounding skills of the Chinese kid. I am also imagining that Howard and Chen Mu continue to grow at the same time, and the rebounding list is even more terrifying.
A few years later, a rebounding maniac named Kevin Love played a world in the league, and when he won the terrifying rebounding data, people once exclaimed that the rebounding maniac team composed of Chen Mu, Howard, and Lefu was once exclaimed. It will create a new era of rebounding.
It's just that people have never been able to expect that the yellow-skinned big man from China who seems to be able to judge every rebounding point still hasn't reached the real peak of his rebounding statistics.
In the years that followed, Howard and Love struggled to catch up, constantly competing up and down the rebounding charts. But it is always a little bit away from the peak.
Chen Mu, what will be reproduced is a glorious era belonging to the last century, one day, when people finally come back to their senses and carefully watch the list of previous rebounding kings, they will let out an exclamation:
Dennis Rodman's record of seven consecutive rebounding titles, will there really be a time for the past?
Chen Mu, the rebounding champion for the second consecutive season, has really rewritten history from this moment.
On the other lists, the assist king was bagged by Chris Paul, Nash and Kidd, the pair of old-school point guards who were bright for a while, finally faded out of the competition for the assist list, Nash still has the strength to continue to fight, but Kidd has completely transformed in the Mavericks' system and has become the old guy who shakes the folding fan and is light.
While winning the assist crown, Paul also became the steal king of the season, and Artest, who averaged 2.7 steals per game, could not see the tail lights. Paul, whose style of play is similar to Isaiah Thomas, has also entered a bottleneck period in his career. The stats are still strong, but there is always an insurmountable barrier to victory.
When Paul decorates his home, he probably doesn't use a lot of flooring, right?
In the block list, Camby once again topped the list, averaging 3.6 times per game compared to the 2.8 times of the second-place Josh Smith, and the same advantage is obviously difficult to shake.
The list of some high-level data, that is, the game of experts, may have a certain effect when comparing the characteristics of certain players, but for ordinary fans, it is still a single data more intuitive.
Chen Mu, the king of rebounds.
So, what about a while......?
"Bell bell bell"
Chen Mu, who was sweating in the equipment room, suddenly rang his mobile phone, and before Iguodala's angry scolding began, Chen Mu ran out of the equipment room in a gray manner, and saw that it was the team's new manager Stefansky. (To be continued......)
PS: Xiao Chen will not be ...... unspoken
Ahem, we're serious competitive novels, huh!
