Chapter 186: The Harvest of the 11-12 Regular Season
The first game of the first round of the playoffs against the Memphis Grizzlies will be played on April 29, 2012 at the Sacramento Sleep Train Arena, three days before the Kings wait five seasons for the game and finally six seasons after the last playoff appearance in the 05-06 season.
No matter how far the Chinese Kings can go in the playoffs, this season is perfect enough for the Kings, the team's goals at the beginning of the season have been achieved, there are no goals set for the playoffs team management, accumulating experience is the key, most of the team are young players, never had any playoff experience, this is an experience, is a good opportunity to grow, the Kings are a young team that has just started, this season is not the end, the future journey is still very long.
The team's biggest highlight of the season was Terrick. Evans.
Tyreco, who averaged 29.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game, beat Kevin Durant, who averaged 28 points per game this season, and won the scoring title this season, ending Durant's chance to win three scoring titles in a row.
At the same time, in the first three years of his career, Terrick averaged 20.1 points, 5.3 boards, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game, 22.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game, 29.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
In addition to scoring the league's highest points per game with 29.2 points this season, Tyrek also won 3 weekly awards and 1 monthly award, and was selected to the All-Star team for the second time in his career.
Tyreco has scored 29 30+, 8 40+, 1 50+, and 1 60+ this season, and his highest single-game score this season is Tyreco's all-time 61 points against the Thunder, while Tyreco also scored 2 triple-doubles, and Tyreco was impeccable in the regular season this season in terms of personal data.
Led the team to play a beautiful record of 46 wins and 20 losses in the shrinking season, last season compared with previous seasons, the Kings have achieved a big leap, and this season is a huge leap compared with last season, in the middle of the season when the team suffered a wave of injuries, Tyrek is a person to carry the team on his shoulders to move forward, in the double bonus of personal data and team record, this season Tyrek is even expected to win the regular season MVP!
Of course, Tyrek alone can't lead the team to make a leap, after all, basketball is a team sport, and the growth of others and the play of new signings are also essential this season.
The first to bear the brunt is DeMarcus. Cousins, in the first season of his career, Cousins averaged 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and this season Cousins went further, averaging 21.1 points, 11 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
Last season's Cousins can be regarded as the team's main offensive point on the inside, and his responsibility is the interior offense, and this season Cousins in addition to the first offensive point on the inside, he is also the team's central axis, showing a beautiful strategy, and at the same time, last season's excellent shooting Cousins expanded the range to the three-point line, with a 33.3% shooting rate can shoot an average of 1.7 three-pointers per game, which greatly enriches the team's tactical options, and Cousins, who has no dead ends in the offense, is definitely Tyreco's first helper.
This season, the team has signed two veterans who suffered major injuries last season. West & Caron. Butler has suffered injuries again this season, but fortunately it hasn't been particularly serious, and he is now back on the court and showing good form for the playoffs.
West averaged 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season, which is the team's third scoring point.
And Caron. In addition to Butler's absence for two months, his on-court performance has also declined greatly from his peak, but Caron Butler, who averaged 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, can still help on the court, and the team does not need him to do much in the case of Tyrek and Cousins, the former All-Star has become a functional player, and stable fixed-point outside shooting and tough defense are the greatest value of the current 32-year-old Caron Butler on the court.
The two veterans' tough style on the court inspires everyone, and in addition to contributing on the court, they also play the role of mentors in this young team, and their experience on the court is worth learning from all the young players on the Kings team.
The team's surprise this season was Jimmy. Butler, on the recommendation of Tyreck, selected the senior rookie from Marquette University in the first round of 27. The team didn't expect Jimmy to play well, but the hard-working Jimmy impressed Westafal with his aggressive defense in the first few games of the season, and has since firmly occupied the team's starting second position.
Jimmy started 56 games this season, came off the bench in 10 games, played 66 regular season games, and played an average of 27.8 minutes per game, such a high playing time is quite rare for a rookie at the end of the first round, in addition to the lack of a strong player in the team's second position, and Jimmy's own performance is also inseparable.
Jimmy averaged 6.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the regular season this season, which is indeed very inconspicuous in terms of statistics, but his strong defense is an indispensable part of the team. First-year Jimmy, as the Kings' perimeter leader, is a promising Defensive Team this season, and it can be said that Jimmy is already an indispensable member of the Kings team after a season.
While the performance of the regular starters is important, the ability to come off the bench cannot be ignored. Farid is one of the most dynamic members of the bench, although he failed to steal the starting position from West, but he is the most passionate one of the Kings as long as he plays, and his flying style of play is even more eye-catching, and Farid can average 8.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in 48 of the 18 games he starts this season, and it will become a big deal in time.
Garcia, Whiteside, Cosby and other veterans of last season also contributed their energy on the bench, and sometimes played brilliantly, Morrow's three-point provided good bench firepower for the Kings, and Thomas Jr., although poor defense, gradually became Tyreck's regular substitute, and he could get about 10 minutes of playing time per game......
Although the team's goal for this season has been achieved, fans have reason to believe that the Kings, who played well in the regular season, can continue to shine on the playoff stage! ()
