Chapter 167: Regular Season Honors
After the crazy iron in the first half, the bus finally regained its touch in the second half.
In the second half, he shot 7-of-12 from the field, still made two three-pointers, and made 4-of-4 free throws from the outside to score 20 points.
In the whole game, the bus made a total of 26 shots, in exchange for 30 points to score, and the offensive efficiency was still quite good.
Under the outbreak of the second half of the bus, the Jazz could not escape and finally lost the opportunity to advance to the Western Conference finals.
This was a relief for Jazz and Sloane.
has already been beaten with a big score of 3:1, in fact, the winning chance of them continuing to play is very small, so small that it is almost negligible.
As long as there are no injuries and suspensions on the Kings' side, the Jazz certainly have no chance of turning defeat into victory.
Successfully led the team to the Western Conference semifinals, and Davidson felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Although it has been three years since I entered the industry, this year is the first year that I have sat in the position of head coach!
As a result, we were able to lead the team to the division finals in the first year, which is definitely quite an achievement.
Throughout NBA history, it's rare to find a coach like Davidson.
And, Davidson has a hunch that West is by no means the limit of their Kings this season.
Hopefully, this season, Davidson will have a chance to play against Jordan.
……
Three days later, the results of the Spurs-Supersonic matchup were in.
In the end, the Spurs failed to be the opponent of the SuperSonics, and were beaten by the SuperSonics with a score of 4:2.
In fact, the Spurs were able to hold out until the sixth game, which was already somewhat unexpected by Davidson.
This season's supersonic speed can definitely be called a strong horse.
Camp's strength can't be faulted at all, and he steadily contributes an average of 20+11 data per game.
Gary Payton's offensive ability is not the top existence in the league, but it can also be called first-class, coupled with top outside defense and organizational skills, it is quite difficult.
In addition to Kemp and Payton, the SuperSonics have a lot of strong players.
Schramf, for example, is probably the best shooter in the league today, except for the bus.
This German power forward, who is 206 cm tall, can be regarded as a poor man's version of the bus.
It's all strong offense, but not very good defense and rebounding.
Of course, because of its size, the bus must be better defensively and rebounding than Schramf.
In addition to Schramf, the SuperSonics also have good players such as Magic's namesake center Elvin Johnson and jack-of-all-trades player Nate McMillan.
If you really want to talk about the depth of the lineup, the supersonic are actually better than the kings.
So at the moment, Davidson is also at a loss, and he doesn't know if he can pass the supersonic level.
If you guess correctly, the SuperSonics' starting lineup should be center Elvin Johnson, power forward Kemp, small forward Schramf, point guard Jose Hawkins, and point guard Payton.
Of course, if the SuperSonics head coach were a little crazier, he might have promoted Kemp to the No. 5 position and replaced blue-collar Elvin Johnson with an outside pitcher to bolster the team's offensive firepower.
The SuperSonics have a perfect lineup, they have plenty of depth and can be combined with a lot of different lineups to deal with different opponents.
……
The Kings and SuperSonics meet in the Western Conference Finals, while the East side faces off against the Bulls and Magic.
If you really want to talk about the degree of attention, the attention on the western side is definitely not as high as the eastern side.
The duel between Jordan and O'Neal made the old American fans sleepless at night.
……
After all the divisional semi-finals are over, the annual regular season awards will be announced.
Not the slightest surprise, Davidson won this year's COY, or Head Coach of the Year.
In today's league, except for Davidson, there is really no one who is qualified for this honor.
Last season's Bulls were just a Western Conference team, and this season without a large-scale trade, Davidson led the team to the best record in team history, which would be unreasonable if he didn't win the best coach.
The honor of the best rookie was naturally won by the bus, and in fact, this honor was basically determined in the first month of the season.
Outside of the bus, the best performance of the rookie in the class of '95 is the Raptors' flying squirrel Damon Stoudemire.
Stoudemire averaged 19 points, 4 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game in his rookie season, shooting 42.6% from the field, including 39.5% from three-point range.
It is no exaggeration to say that data like Flying Squirrel is actually quite outstanding among all the best rookies in NBA history.
But I ran into a bug-like bus.
In his rookie season, he averaged 31.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, making many fans feel like they were dreaming.
It is true that such a data is actually nothing in the long history of the NBA......
For example, Spencer Haywood's rookie season stats, averaging 30 points and 19.5 rebounds per game.
Dan Iseer averaged 29.9 points and 13.2 rebounds per game in his rookie season.
Chamberlain's 37.6 points and 27 rebounds, Bellamy's 31.6 points and 17 rebounds, Big O's 30.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 28.8 points and 14.5 rebounds......
But these players' rookie seasons are too long after all, and the most recent Dan Iseer is actually from 70-71.
If you look closer, within 20 years, the only three who can compare to Battle in their rookie season statistics are Jordan, O'Neal and Admiral.
Jordan had 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.4 steals, Robinson had 24.3 points, 12 rebounds and 3.9 blocks, and O'Neal had 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks.
Since 1971, these three have had the best statistics in their rookie seasons, and now the bus has reached their level, which really excites Kings fans.
Richmond once won the honor of best rookie, and now the new king of the bus can definitely lead the king to rise in the future, and the history of the king may be able to produce a real supergiant.
won the best rookie, then naturally the best rookie for a while, it must not be able to run.
In addition, the bus also squeezed out Ma Long and was selected for this year's best team for a while!
This is quite an honor, and to be selected for the first team means that the bus has the title of the league's number one forward.
In addition to the bus, David Robinson, Jordan, Pippen and Penny were also selected.
O'Neal is more miserable, and has played a bit less this season, only showing up in 50 games, so he was only selected for the best three teams.
It is worth mentioning that Richmond was also selected for three teams......
Although the Kings are not as luxurious as the Bulls, they have two players in the team, but one team and one team, and they are also the best in the league.
Murraysan is more unlucky, the competition for the center position is too big, even O'Neal can only play three times, and it is naturally difficult for Murraysan to be selected for the best team.
However, although Murraysan was not selected for the best team, his performance on the defensive end still brought him a very high honor, the best defensive team.
Although the honor of the best defensive player was taken away by Gary Payton, Murraysan's selection for a while is enough to prove his worth.
One defensive center, the best defensive center in the league!
