Chapter 154: Strange Data Rankings

After this game, Ji Liang's popularity has increased significantly, but for him, this time, the strange data has directly increased his average assists per game by 0.38, and his average assists per game has increased to 11.2, surpassing Jason Kidd again.

The Suns have one game left, and it will undoubtedly be difficult for Kidd to overtake Chi Liang.

If Ji Liang plays normally, Kidd must get more than 20 assists, but this is easier said than done!

Assists are not scoring, and the difficulty is more than scoring and rebounding.

The most important thing is that no matter how good your awareness is, no matter how sharp your pass, it depends on the feel of your teammates.

Although Kidd has little chance of overtaking, Ji Liang does not dare to take it lightly, and in the last game, he must do his best. If you can continue to improve the average assists per game, it will naturally be stable.

"NBA's weird stats rankings? This looks interesting! ”

The next morning, in the apartment, Chi Liang hugged Nana and watched "USA Today" while spreading out.

In this national newspaper, Chi Liang once again made the headlines of the sports page, and the limelight can be described as unparalleled for a while.

Unlike other newspapers, USA Today did not choose to follow the trend, but collected the strange data that has happened in the NBA over the years.

At the same time, Chi Liang's data yesterday is also among them.

In these strange statistics, Allen Iverson ranks seventh, and the most expensive player to commit fouls now is naturally Iverson. He once shot 0-of-8 from the field in one game, but relied on free throws to score 25 points.

The sixth place was O'Neal, who hit all the free throws in a game, making 0 of 11 free throws, so O'Neal also scored 25 points in that game.

Fifth place was Wilt Chamberlain, who played for Philadelphia at the time, playing 44 minutes, without a shot, scoring only one point from the free throw, and adding 18 rebounds and 13 assists.

Fourth place went to Kidd, who had 14 turnovers in the Suns' game against the Knicks, the most in NBA history. But it is worth mentioning that Kidd also got a triple-double of 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, which is the so-called pseudo-'quadruple-double' if you count mistakes!

Third place was John Lucas, who was playing for the Spurs at the time and had 24 assists in just 28 minutes. But the embarrassing thing is that he didn't score 1 point and 1 board in this campaign, which is extremely strange.

The second place is naturally 'Big Bug' Rodman, who once grabbed 28 rebounds in the game alone, but did not score a single point. Looking at the history of the NBA, he is the only player who has scored 0 points and added 25+ rebounds in a single game.

Chi Liang's strange data was ranked first on the strange data list by "USA Today", with 30 assists and 20 rebounds, no shots, and no free throws. From the point of view of difficulty, not to mention that there is no one who will come later, at least it is unprecedented.

In addition, under the momentum of the league, many celebrities and coaches have spoken out, and all of them are praised.

'KFC Grandpa' Phil Jackson commented: "Ji Liang is not a player who relies on the system, he has a good breakthrough and can also rely on shooting to score, but the most impressive thing is his passing ability, in short, he can make his teammates better!" ”

Spurs head coach Popovich said: "He's a very good player, I think he's on par with Grant Hill. I feel very sorry that the Spurs passed him by in the first place, I didn't know he was so good at the time, otherwise I would have paid a bigger price! ”

Charles Barkley said: "Yes, I think he can do anything. He's the most well-rounded rookie I've ever seen, and there's no one like him, a dominant playmaker, who has great scoring, rebounding, defense, and shooting threes, oh my God, what the hell can't he do! ”

Barkley is outspoken and fast-talking, and since he became friends with Chi Liang, he has always said a lot of good things for him.

After a full day's rest, the Nuggets then host the Houston Rockets at home.

It was also the last game for the Rockets, who had a 30-19 record and finished fifth in the West.

Judging from the record, the Lakers won a little, but the problem is that even if the Rockets win this game, it is still impossible to move the ranking due to the relationship with the Lakers losing more and winning less.

It's useless to win, and it's okay to lose, because the Suns, who are ranked sixth in the West, are a lot worse than the Rockets in terms of record.

So, in this game, the Rockets mainly focused on training, and in order to preserve their state and physical strength, the Big Three did not play much time, and most of them were led by Mobley on the bench.

Even if the team was at a disadvantage, the Big Three still didn't play for long, and most of the time they talked and laughed off the field, not caring about the outcome of this game at all.

In this game, Ji Liang played poorly, only 6 of 15 shots in the game, only got 13 points, 13 assists and 6 rebounds, and also had 5 turnovers.

Fortunately, his teammates played well, Van Exel scored 35 points, and McDies even scored 20+20, and finally the team won the opponent with a score of 109:95 and ended the game perfectly.

On the same night, the rest of the teams also finished all the games.

In the Western rankings, the first place is the Spurs, who have a 36-14 record under the leadership of the inside twin towers, which is also the first in the league!

In second place is the Jazz, who have the same record as the Spurs, but can only be ranked lower due to the win-loss relationship.

In addition, they are also opponents of the Nuggets in the playoffs.

In the 3rd-5th place are the Trail Blazers, Lakers and Rockets, who are also recognized as strong teams, and it is not surprising to achieve such results.

Sixth went to the Suns, who won the final game to go 27-23.

In terms of record, the Suns and Nuggets are the same, but due to the win-loss relationship between the two sides, the Nuggets have not risen in the rankings and can only rank seventh in the West.

Eighth in the West is naturally the Kings, and they are one win away from the Nuggets.

The biggest regret is naturally the SuperSonics, who were second in the West last season and finished ninth in the West with 24 wins this season, missing out on the playoffs.

As for the Eastern standings, the first, second and third places all have a 33-17 record, but due to the win-loss relationship, the Heat became the first place in the East, and the Pacers and Magic could only be at the bottom.

The 4-8 places in the East are the Hawks, Pistons, 76ers and Bucks, who are also not weak.

Judging from the record results, there is not much difference between the east and the west, and there is no pattern of strong west and weak east for the time being.

However, it is not far off.
