After seven preseason games, Zhang Chu played an average of 17 minutes and averaged 10.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 This is a very good result for a rookie, not to mention scoring rebounds and assists, averaging 2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, which is difficult for many veteran players to get when they play the whole game.

Anyway, when Morey and Van Gundy got Zhang Chu's data, they were very satisfied, and the data proved that Zhang Chu's defense was excellent, and he was exactly the player the Rockets needed. And some die-hard fans like Huayang University who support Zhang Chu have begun to inflate themselves again.

No, I don't know who applied for a "Zhang Chu bar" in Baidu Tieba, the first post is to discuss Zhang Chu's performance in the preseason, and the poster is supporting Zhang Chu at a glance, he thinks: Zhang Chu played 17 minutes in the preseason to play such data, if the regular season starts, Zhang Chu can play a starter, and the playing time reaches more than 34 minutes of the main force, wouldn't he want to get an average of 21 points per game, 6.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 4 steals and 2.4 blocks? That's almost the All-Star and All-Defensive All-Defensive teams.

If this post is posted on a popular post bar, it is estimated that it will trigger another tearing war, but "Zhang Chu Bar" is newly built, there is no popularity at all, and few people have seen it, and there is no follow-up post......

The preseason is over, the regular season is about to start, according to the convention, not willing to be lonely, always looking for some topics in the media circle began to report and analyze what the 2006-2007 season favorites to win the championship, MVP favorites, best rookie favorites and so on.

ESPN, TNT, Sports Illustrated and other mainstream media in the American sports world, as well as some senior sports reporters, have selected their own candidates, and they are basically the same.

The top five favorites are the Spurs, Heat, Mavericks, Suns and Cavaliers. The American bookmaker William Hill offered them odds of 3.2, 3.7, 4.8, 15.2, 26.5.

The reason given by the media for ranking the Spurs at the top of the favorites is: Duncan, Ginobili and Parker (GDP combination) and other people have played steadily and more tacitly cooperated, Duncan and Ginobili are in their playing years, and Parker is getting more and more progressive, more and more mature, and is very favored by people. And there's a strange law---- which is that the Spurs always win championships in odd-numbered years, such as '99, '03, '05...... Over the years, except for the Lakers in 2001, the Spurs have won the championship in other odd-numbered years, and now it is the 06-07 season, and many people believe that the championship this season is likely to be the Spurs.

In second place is the defending champion Heat, the reason given by the media is: O'Neal and Mourning are the two iron men on the inside, and "Flash" Wade, "White Chocolate" Williams and others on the outside, as long as O'Neal maintains a good competitive condition, this year's Heat team will still be one of the favorites to win the championship.

In third place is the Mavericks, the Mavericks with the "German chariot" reached the finals last season, but in the good situation of leading 2:0, they were reversed by the Heat, and they have proved the overall strength of the Mavericks to enter the finals.

The fourth place is the Suns, in the past two years, the Suns' run-and-gun tactics have swept the entire league, and the Suns' organizational guard Nash has won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, plus the inside line Xiao Si is becoming more and more mature, I believe that if the Suns finally win the championship this season, it will not be surprising.

In fifth place is the Cavaliers. There is no one in the Cavaliers, only the "little emperor" James, but it is enough. This is James' fourth season since entering the league in 2003, and he is gradually entering his personal maturity, and if he plays against the sky enough, it is not impossible for the Cavaliers to win a championship.

In 2004, when Maddy just joined the Rockets, the media touted that the Rockets were the favorites for the championship, after all, one of these two people claimed to be the first center in the NBA, and the other claimed to be the NBA's first scoring guard on the same level as Kobe, which was simply a copy of the Lakers' "OK" combination, but the Rockets fell again and again in the first round of the playoffs, disappointing everyone again and again, last season, They didn't even make the playoffs, and the Rockets are now generally underestimated.

There are seven favorites for MVP, namely: James of the Cavaliers, Wade of the Heat, Duncan of the Spurs, Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Nash of the Suns, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and Maddy of the Rockets.

Since the "little emperor" James came to the Cavaliers, he has made the playoffs every year, and he has improved year by year, and even entered the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

Wade of the Heat team, who turned things around in the finals last season, scored 40 consecutive pluses, and finally won the championship and the championship MVP, and everyone is looking forward to his performance this season.

Duncan of the Spurs, the Spurs have a very stable record, Duncan also won two consecutive regular season MVPs in 02 and 03, if the Spurs can still get the first record in the league this season, Duncan is likely to get his third MVP trophy.

Nowitzki of the Mavericks. Nowitzki's offense has become increasingly inexplicable, and last season's playoffs, he single-handedly defeated the Spurs to reach the final Finals, and he has proven that he has the ability to challenge Duncan at the power forward position.

Nash of the Suns. Nash has won two consecutive MVPs in '05 and '06, can Nash win back-to-back MVPs this season and become the fourth player in NBA history to win three consecutive MVPs? This is something that even Jordan, the god of basketball, has not done......

As for the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and the Rockets' Maddy, according to speaking, in terms of strength, they cannot be ranked last, but in terms of scoring ability alone, they may be the strongest among the seven hot candidates. Maddy has won the scoring title twice, scoring 13 points in 35 seconds against the Spurs in the 04-05 season. And Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a single game against the Raptors in the past 05-06 season, which is simply a scoring machine and the first scorer in the league.

However, the MVP selection of the NBA in the United States not only looks at personal data, but also looks at the team's record, as well as the individual's contribution to the team, leadership and other factors. Otherwise, it is impossible for the wolf king Garnett not to be selected as the MVP favorite, the wolf king Garnett can be a fierce man with a comprehensive strength of 99 in the NBALIVE2006 game, but as a result, he is not even a MVP favorite, because the Timberwolves' record is too poor and he can't even enter the playoffs, so it affects Garnett's ranking.

The top five favorites for the best rookie are: Foye of the Timberwolves, Morrison of the Bobcats, Gay of the Grizzlies, Roy of the Trail Blazers and Bagnani of the Raptors.

Through the observation of these games in the preseason, these five players performed the best, adapted well to the rhythm of the NBA, and were also the starters and key training targets of their teams. And Zhang Chu of the Rockets, although he played remarkably in several preseason games, is unlikely to impress the stubborn American at once and rank him as the favorite for the best rookie.
