Chapter 179: Wizards Are the Best to Deal With?

The Wizards are easier to bully than the Bulls and the Heat, and this is not the idea of a few, the vast majority of people in the league think this way.

Offense can bring spectators, defense can bring championships, this sentence is not empty talk.

Although the Wizards have won an astonishing 68-14 and topped the entire league, the Wizards still feel unstable compared to the Bulls, who are first in the league in defensive efficiency, and the Heat, who are sixth in the league.

Even this season, the addition of assistant coach Kerr has gradually improved the Wizards' defense, but the team's defensive efficiency can only rank in the middle of the league.

For the Knicks, who only formed the Big Three in the middle and late stages of the season, the Wizards' slightly weaker defense is obviously easier for the Big Three to open up the situation, after all, a weak defense can help the Big Three find their touch.

If nothing else, it's just Cameron. Anthony's point, if he feels hot, can shoot a team alive!

Regarding the media's predictions and remarks, Wang Xiao only smiled slightly when he heard it.

Although the Knicks formed the Big Three because of the butterfly effect of their own relationship, such a Big Three is really not taken into account by him, compared with the Big Three of the Heat and the Big Three of the Celtics, the three Big Giants of the Knicks are too flawed.

What's more, they have only been formed for more than two months, and the run-in is far from enough, and it will not pose a threat to the Wizards at all.

This can be seen from the fact that they actually ranked eighth and were still under the Nets led by Jeremy Lin.

The Nets can actually rank seventh in the East, which is something that most fans did not expect.

A yellow point guard is so powerful that it only took one season to bring the Nets, who were at the bottom of the league last season, into the playoffs.

In other words, the reason why the Nets were able to make the playoffs is basically the credit of Jeremy Lin.

Think about it, what kind of concept is it that the Nets, who went 12-70 last season and had a terrible record, actually improved their record to 41-41 just because of one more Jeremy Lin?

You know, even James didn't do it to this extent back then.

In '02, the Cavaliers had a 17-65 record in the regular season, and the Cavaliers also won the No. 1 pick and successfully signed the chosen son, LeBron. James.

In 03, James showed amazing talent in his first season in the NBA, averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, not only becoming the third player after Big O and Jordan to read 20+5+5 data in his rookie season, but also helped the Cavaliers achieve a 35-47 record.

However, that record didn't make the Cavaliers the playoffs, as the Celtics were 36-46 in eighth place in the East, and the Cavaliers were eliminated by one victory.

Now, Jeremy Lin has done something that James has never done.

You must know that Jeremy Lin's situation is similar to that of James at the beginning, it can be said that he is leading the team with a single core, except for Brooke, who averages 18 points per game. Aside from Lopez, there is no second player who can help him.

It was such a team, but it suppressed the Big Three in New York and finished in seventh place in the East, which inevitably surprised the league.

Jeremy Lin played in all 82 games this season, averaging 18 points, 10.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game.

It ranks third on the assists list, behind Nash who averages 11.4 assists per game and Rondo who has 11.2 assists per game.

And 2.6 steals ranked first on the steals list!

There is no doubt that Jeremy Lin will be crowned Rookie of the Year 10-11.

Speaking of which, there are three favorable contenders for this year's Rookie of the Year, namely Jeremy Lin, and John Lee. Wall and Griffin in '09.

Due to last season's reimbursement, Griffin arrived in the NBA a full year late in the panic of the Clippers' management.

As it turns out, the Clippers' vision is still okay.

After landing in the NBA, Griffin quickly showed great individual ability and talent.

Although the Clippers only finished 32-50 this season, Griffin was able to record an impressive 22.5 points, 12 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

This made the Clippers management team greatly relieved, although it was a year late, but Griffin is not the second Oden.

Griffin is not inferior to Jeremy Lin in terms of statistics, but the team's record is much worse than that of the Nets, so he naturally lost in the rookie of the best competition.

Griffin didn't play, another favorite, who was robbed of the champion by Jeremy Lin. Wall is out of the picture.

Wall's 76ers lost directly to the Nets in the race for a playoff spot and could only settle for ninth place in the East, while Wall's average of 16 points and 8.3 assists per game is not far behind Jeremy Lin.

It's still impossible to determine who will win the Rookie of the Year award, as the results of the regular season awards will not be announced until the playoffs reach the division finals.

The prizes that can be determined immediately after the end of the regular season are the top scorers and other statistical awards.

The scoring champion in the 10-11 season was won by Durant again, which is also the second time that Durant has won the scoring title in his career.

Although the scoring champion with an average of 28 points per game is the lowest scoring champion per game after 04, no matter how low it is, it is also the scoring champion, representing the honor of the highest scoring per game in the league throughout the season.

Wizards point guard Stephen Brown. Curry is second with 27.4 points per game, followed by James with 26.7 points per game, Anthony with 25.6 points per game, Wade with 25.5 points and Kobe Bryant with 25.3 points.

At the top of the assist list is Nash, who has won the title of assist king for the fifth time, followed by Rondo and Jeremy Lin.

At the top of the rebounding list is Timberwolves player Kevin Brown. Lefou, who averaged 15.2 rebounds per game, beat Howard, who averaged 14.1 rebounds per game, to win the honor of rebounding king.

After that, things like blocks, steals, etc., will receive much less attention.

……

These statistics, for the fans, are just after-dinner conversations, and the 10-11 season is far from over for them.

Only 3 days after the end of the regular season, the playoffs are in full swing, which is the most exciting drama of the NBA all year!

On April 16, at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C., the home of the Wizards, the Wizards welcomed the challenge of the New York Knicks, the opponent of the first round of the playoffs.

In the locker room, Wang Xiao looked at the players and smiled slightly.

"Guys, let's go, we're number one in the league, it's only eighth in the East on the other side, his Big Three, let's take them over!"

"them!"

The players roared in unison!
