Chapter 373: Data Blowout
Three doubles, see three doubles again.
In the game against the Rockets, Chen Mu scored a triple-double, although the scoring statistics are lower than the season average, but the rebounding competition is still strong, and the assist is even more extraordinary, with 12 assists, which is also a new career high.
Not counting the super triple-double this season, the last time he sent more than 10 assists was in the 2005-2006 season, when Chen Mu scored a triple-double against the Cavaliers, and 10 assists made the league exclaim, the next all-round forward master is coming.
But since then, Chen Mu has never been able to have 10 assists in a single game, until this season against the Hornets, 30 points, 30 rebounds and 10 assists, and finally raised his eyebrows in the technical statistics of assists.
So far this season, Chen Mu has scored two triple-doubles as a big forward, and from a positional point of view, he can definitely be regarded as a good inside passer. But this season's average assists per game data, Chen Mu has declined slightly, and many fans feel a little puzzled, why the Chinese kid's assists have become less eye-catching?
The answer is simple, the other party's strategy has changed.
Before, the opponents Chen Mu faced were strictly guarding his rebounds and strategies when defending Chen Mu. Although Chen Mu's scoring ability has made great progress and can be regarded as a kaleidoscope of the basket in the new era, the rebounding and long passing of the Chinese kid are the foundation of Philadelphia.
In addition, in order to solve the problem of Philadelphia's lack of attackers, Chen Mu opened more individual singles in the game. At this stage of his career, Chen Mu naturally pursued the explosion of data on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also understood more about the true meaning of basketball.
The team wins, and the personal data, although not the fish and the bear's paw, but sometimes. It's really hard to juggle.
For a team to win, some sacrifices in terms of personal data are unavoidable, and there are very few players who have actually achieved both personal data and team results. Even those superstars who have played tough statistics in the game and still lead the team to soar will have more opportunities to handle the ball and more shots. Data can actually go to the next level.
But for the sake of the team's victory, the superstars are also making more sacrifices. The simplest example, Mike Jordan, averaged 37 points per game in his third season of his career. In the next six championships, he never managed to reach that level in points.
Correspondingly, the Bulls' record gradually escalated until it reached the top.
Did Jordan's scoring ability really reach its peak in the third year and never improved since?
Of course not.
But for the sake of the team to win. In pursuit of that ultimate gold cup, Jordan chose to compromise.
Of course, Jordan's career stats are still strong, and he can be seen playing hooligan there on all score-related lists. The same is true of other superstars, with strong stats, exaggerated team records, and trophy after trophy.
This is the difference between a so-called brush and a real star.
Chen Mu, of course, doesn't want to be a data brush. Be remembered.
For the sake of the team, Chen Mu more or less made compromises in his choice. In the past, he didn't choose to pass the ball according to his personal basketball philosophy, but turned to individual singles.
Because he knows that sometimes, a clever pass to lead the attack can get his teammates involved, but at some crucial moments. The ace's individual singles is the real key to victory.
As a result, Chen Mu's assist statistics declined, and people who don't know what they know still think that the Chinese kid is playing alone than before. Or maybe the passing skills have slipped. In fact, only 76ers fans know how much effort the Chinese kid has put in for the team's continuous improvement.
The career-high assist data has been obtained, the career-high scoring data has been obtained, and the career-high rebounding data has been obtained.
Naturally, one honor after another followed.
The 2007-2008 regular season is drawing to a close, and the competition for the East-West Player of the Month in the final month is particularly intense. Joe Johnson, Kobe, Garnett, Iverson all started to break out. Player stats tend to be all-rounder, and the concept of position is blurred, and this forward-thinking view from Pat Riley is gradually becoming a reality.
The last week of April is over, the Chinese kid, the best in the East!
In the game in April 2008, Chen, the star of the Philadelphia 76ers, averaged 23 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists per game. The best month in the East, well deserved! ”
"Finally said something human."
Looking at the words spoken by the announcer on the sports news, Iguodala nodded slightly, as if the teacher was judging the students' homework.
The regular season is over, and the final standings of the East and West are also released.
"In the West, the Los Angeles Lakers have been on a winning streak since they came out of the run-in pains at the beginning of the season. With 62 wins and 20 losses all season, Kobe Bryant is also in the first place in the Western Conference, and the call for Kobe Bryant to be named this season's MVP is also very loud. As is customary in previous years, the league will announce the MVP after the first round of the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant will win the MVP crown for the first time in his career. ”
"The second in the West, the Phoenix Suns, after the introduction of a new generation of super center Howard this season, the Suns' offensive and defensive system tends to be complete. With a 60-22 record in the season, there is definitely hope of competing for the first record in the league in previous years. Unfortunately, they met the Celtics in the league and Kobe Bryant and his Lakers in the West, with the Suns relegating to second place in the West. ”
It is worth mentioning that Steve Nash, who has been in charge of the assist throne for many years, was taken away by Chris Paul, who averaged 11.1 assists per game and ranked second. I don't know if the Suns, who have been suppressed in terms of personal data and team records, can soar in the playoffs and play an amazing performance with their most powerful Warcraft combination on the inside. ”
"Third in the West is just Chris Paul and his Hornets who overtook Nash to become the new generation of assists king in the assist list. The Hornets finished with 56 wins, overtaking the old powerhouse in the same region and last season's championship Spurs, to become the biggest dark horse of the season. ”
With the announcer's commentary, the tragedy of the West was clearly visible, and the top three teams had a strong record. Especially the Hornets, whose lineup can be regarded as dim compared to the luxurious Lakers with three highs and Kobe, and the Suns who got the beast combination. But under Paul's skillful urging, he actually became the third in the West, and I have to sigh that a strong enough point guard can indeed improve a team.
"The fourth Jazz team in the West, with Deron Williams, who is known as a point guard duo with Paul, and the Jazz's tenacious defense and complex offensive tactics are bound to become the spoilers of the Western Conference playoffs. In the first round against the Spurs, whether the Jazz can go further, and whether the Spurs can be defeated, are the focus of attention. ”
"Fifth in the West is the San Antonio Spurs, who also have 56 wins but are at the bottom of the matchup against the Hornets because of division rules. The defending champions have shown some fatigue in the regular season this season, and the GDP duo can still continue the glory of previous years and make a big impact in the playoffs. Whether they can break the puzzle of the Spurs not being able to win the championship for even years and never successfully defending the title, the answers to all questions will be revealed in the upcoming playoffs. ”
"It's a pity for the Spurs." Korver shook his head slightly, if it weren't for the division rules, there must be three small division champions in the top four in the region, and if the Spurs fell in the showdown with the Hornets, with the strength of the Spurs, they would definitely not be so underestimated.
What are the following grams? The most likely first round in the West to accomplish this feat is naturally the Spurs.
"Sixth through eighth in the West are the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and Denver Nuggets. The Portland Trail Blazers, who acquired Oden this season and formed the Young Guards, could not withstand the pressure in the final minute of the regular season, and although Auden's double-double per game performance has locked up the Rookie of the Season Award, the Trail Blazers still paid the price for their youth. ”
On the screen, the highlights of the Trail Blazers' games this season were played, Roy's scheduling and singles on the outside, Aldridge and Oden on the inside, and the Trail Blazers, who mainly play slow half-court offense, played quite calmly and methodically, not at all like what a young team should look like, and looked very old.
This style is in stark contrast to the Philadelphia 76ers, an Eastern Conference team that is also known as the Young Guards. Although the 76ers players have quite good tactical literacy, they are limited by Cheeks' tactical layout ability and the lack of outside shooters in the team, and there are not many ways to fight in the half-court position, basically handing the ball to Chen Mu alone.
Philadelphia's main game is the Kombat Whirlwind, which is a conversion score after launching a long pass in the backcourt. Unlike the Trail Blazers, who put various tactical restrictions on their players step by step, they develop good tactical literacy when they are still young enough. The 76ers' style of play seems to be much more open and rough.
However, on the defensive end, the 76ers are still very pleasantly surprised, the combination of Lowry and Iguodala on the outside, Korver's defense is also continuing to improve, and there are defensive backbones such as Chen Mu and DylerPorter on the inside, and the 76ers' defense is a highlight for them, which makes many fans who like defensive style teams addicted.
What kind of sparks will these two young and limitless teams create in the future? Many fans are looking forward to it.
"Next, the ranking of the Eastern District ......" (to be continued......)
PS: The playoffs are coming soon!
