Chapter 355: Timberwolves Infighting (Guaranteed Three Shifts 2)
In the blink of an eye, the clock has entered the end of February.
The Trail Blazers played a total of 15 games throughout the month of February, and it was unbelievable that the Trail Blazers won all of them without losing a single game.
What's even more terrifying is that more than half of the fifteen games have ended with the Trail Blazers' big victory.
If it can be called a big victory, then at least it has to play a score difference of more than 15 points......
Such dominance can definitely be called terrifying, and the current pioneers are quite invincible.
Kobe Bryant is currently averaging 26.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, which is a proper All-Star starter-level data, and Iverson, the only guard in the entire league who can compete with Kobe, is currently averaging 27.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, scoring a little higher than Kobe, but the rebounds and assists are not as many as Kobe.
If nothing else, this year's scoring title will come from these two, and Iverson has a better chance of getting it, but Kobe Bryant is not completely out of the ordinary.
If Richard really wants Kobe to win the scoring title this season, it's actually quite simple, let Kobe go crazy every game, and the scoring champion will be in his hands.
With Kobe's current ability, give him an incomparably sufficient number of shots, and still have a chance to score 30 points per game.
However, in Richard's opinion, this kind of thing is not necessary, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, it is better to let these two boys compete with their strength, so that even if they lose, they can't find any excuses.
In the scoring list, after Kobe and Iverson, there is O'Neal, a big killer under the basket, who is currently averaging 26.3 points per game and ranks third on the scoring list.
As for Karl Malone, the fourth in the back, the score is much less, only an average of 23.8 points per game.
To Richard's surprise, Raheem's average points per game actually reached the top five, averaging 23 points per game!
Not to mention the gold content of Rahim's scoring data, at least from this data, it can be seen that Rahim's strength is really good, if it weren't for injuries, Rahim's achievements would definitely not be low.
……
Judging from the fact that Kobe Bryant and Iverson are competing for the scoring title, this year's shrinking season, not only the schedule has shrunk, but even the player data has shrunk to varying degrees.
At present, Big Ben is firmly at the top of the rebounding list with 15.2 rebounds per game.
The second-place candidate on the rebounding list is a little unexpected for fans, Chris Webb, who averages 13 rebounds per game.
In people's impressions, Webb is the kind of all-round type of gorgeous power forward, all-round is also known as all-in, such a gorgeous style of power forward can grab the top blue-collar rebounding data, it is really surprising.
In third place is the elder Barkley, who has a bit of a return to the past this season, and can still average 12.3 rebounds per game, which is really amazing.
You must know that the current Barkley is already as old as 36 years old, and at the age of 36 in the history of the league, he can still cut an average of more than 12 rebounds per game, and the number of people is not enough to slap him.
In fourth place is also the veteran, Mutombo, who averages 12.2 rebounds per game......
Mutombo's current official age is 33 years old, but everyone knows that there is too much moisture at this age, and his real age is much older than the official age, and the guarantee is also a five-year-old moisture.
……
As for the former rebounding king Rodman, because he just joined the Lakers two days ago, his stats are not on the list at the moment.
However, even if he is on the list, with Rodman's current state, it is unlikely that he wants to play more than 15 rebounds per game, and there is basically no threat to Big Ben's rebounding king.
Judging from the data on the rebounding list, Big Ben has already shown the rebounding strength that crushes the league.
What makes Trail Blazers fans even happier is that Xiao Ao, who averages 10.3 rebounds per game, also made it into the top 10 on the rebounding list, just ranking tenth, 0.1 fewer rebounds per game than Garnett, the ninth wolf king.
……
Kobe Bryant is seventh in the assist list!
Big Ben is second on the blocking list, averaging 3.6 blocks per game, second only to Kidney fighter Mourning's 3.9 blocks.
Xiao Ao's 2.4 blocks per game is also ranked 10th in the league.
Kobe Bryant is second on the steals list, averaging 2.6 steals per game behind Nets quarterback Kendall Gill's 2.7 steals.
……
From the list of five benign data, it is easy to see the current dominance of the pioneers!
In addition to the data of assists, among the other four benign data, the Trail Blazers all have players in the top three.
……
On March 1, the Trail Blazers played away against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the same division.
Last season, the Timberwolves made the playoffs and showed good strength, but this season they have encountered problems.
It can almost be said that it is infighting!
Marbury, the team's second leader, has become completely disheartened with the Timberwolves management because of contract problems, and the contradictions with Garnett are becoming increasingly prominent, making the Ma commissar determined to leave the Timberwolves.
Garnett's contract was too big, which also led to the Timberwolves' inability to pay Marbury a contract that satisfied him.
Marbury's average of 22 points and 8.5 assists per game this season is not too much to say that he is giving a cap salary.
But the Timberwolves can't give it first, because after giving Marbury a salary, then they can't make up the lineup, and they have to have a guaranteed contract of 13 people for a season, and the salary of Garnett and Marbury alone is 25 million US dollars, and the remaining 5 million US dollars salary cap is divided into 11 people, how to divide it......
The second is that management feels that Marbury is not worth the top salary......
The early contract extension between the two sides has not been negotiated, and this season is the last year of Marbury's rookie contract, and when this season is over, Marbury will become a free agent, and the Timberwolves will inevitably face the situation of letting Marbury go for nothing.
So they're looking for a suitable trade target right now, ready to sell Marbury.
According to the grapevine, the Nets, who Larry Brown has just taken over, have a rather strong interest in Marbury and are negotiating with the Timberwolves.
Richard didn't care much about this news, anyway, if Larry Brown made it up, it would be like that, without Carlisle laying the foundation for him, he probably wouldn't want to win the championship in his life.
And Larry Brown wants Marbury, which is definitely self-defeating......
The two men were on the same team under normal circumstances, but not with the Nets, but with the New York Knicks.
In '06, the two had a public quarrel with a red face and a thick neck, and it didn't take long for Larry Brown to be fired.
If Larry Brown gets Marbury to the Nets this time, something might come out of here.
The Timberwolves, who are currently in infighting, are definitely not the opponent of the Trail Blazers, and were finally defeated by the Trail Blazers by 22 points!
At the post-game press conference, countless reporters came this time, not because of the Timberwolves, but because the opponent of the Trail Blazers in the next game is a little special.
Utah!
