Chapter 216: Data

This season is short-lived, especially for teams that don't make the playoffs.

It is only a little more than 4 months before and after, which is the span of a semester for middle school students in China. However, the season has also been exhausting, with a large number of games condensed into shortened periods of time and a number of players suffering major injuries.

The last game of the 76ers' regular season was a game against the Pistons, and seeing that the holiday was approaching, the Pistons didn't have much intention of competing with the 76ers.

"Why are you so good, I always thought that the loss to Syracuse at that time was because Wesley Johnson was too hot, and now it seems that you are the hidden boss." Monroe hugged Tang Wenlong before the game, and the Pistons have also improved significantly this season, ranking tenth in the East, especially Monroe himself, who averaged 15.9 points and 9.6 rebounds in only 31 minutes per game as a sophomore.

He and Cousins are known as the best interior players in the United States, and the latter has been even more exaggerated this season, averaging 18.1 points and 11 rebounds per game in 30 minutes of playing time. Looking at the two of them are rough guys, they are actually delicate in technique, excellent in passing, and solid in the low post, leading the trend of a new generation of technical body centers.

Tang Wenlong heard Monroe's praise and said modestly: "It's all my teammates who are willing to make the ball for me, how can I be so powerful, almost, almost"

Monroe laughed, "You are still so modest, you play well in the playoffs, you have a great chance to win the championship!" ”

Tang Wenlong nodded yes. The two of them shook hands and smiled and exchanged pleasantries for a long time.

The tournament was held at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Monroe is in the power forward position. Ben Wallace, who returned to the Pistons this season, played as the starting center, because at the end of the season, "Big Ben" will choose to retire and end his 17-season NBA career.

Because it was Big Ben's last game, the empty seats in the palace of Auburn Hills were filled with fans today, and touching banners such as "Best of Auburn Hills" and "Piston's Optimus Pillar" were hung out, which can be seen. During the pre-match ceremony, there were some tears in his eyes.

The NBA is a commercial league, but at the same time, it will contain blood and passion, and there will be many touching things encountered in the career of professional players.

Tang Wenlong thought that this is probably the best interpretation of a player who has won many honors after playing for a certain team for many years, and he doesn't know how long he will play in Philadelphia, and whether Philadelphia will also regard him as a symbol of the city in the future, and love him so much.

In the end, the 76ers still won the Pistons on the road, and Big Ben scored 7 points and 12 rebounds on his retirement performance. One block, one steal. The standard large number of statistics shows the defense that he has been pursuing throughout his career.

Tang Wenlong played 27 minutes and scored 35 points, he is still the player who goes all out, and strangely, his performance of ruining the opponent's retirement performance was praised by the media after the game, known as a superstar who respects the opponent, and Big Ben was also full of praise for Tang Wenlong in an interview with the media.

"He's got a lot of talent, he's got a lot of talent on the offensive end, and I think his step-back jumper is one of the most inexplicable moves in the league right now, and it's hard for the perimeter defenders to judge his next move, it's very difficult to defend." Big Ben said, paused and then gave his guess about this season's playoffs: "I think the 76ers can win the championship, they already have the best leader, they have a roster that is both offensive and defensive. ”

On the same day, after the game was over, the rankings of the eastern and western teams were all out.

In the East, the 76ers are in first place with 52 wins and 14 losses, followed by the Bulls, Heat, Celtics, Hawks, Magic, Pacers and Knicks, and in the West, the Spurs are crazy to still get 50 wins in the shrinking season, and behind their old demons are the Thunder, Lakers, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks and Jazz.

The Rockets failed to surpass the Jazz at the last moment and unfortunately lost the qualification for the playoffs, and the Chinese fans who followed the Rockets had a deeper resentment towards the Jazz.

Fans in New York are going to cry, last year they met the Heat Big Three, and this year they met the terrifying 76ers, and it looks like there is no hope of making it past the first round.

Of course, there are also many fans who wishfully believe that New York's record is due to too many injuries in the middle of the season, and now that Jeremy Lin is out for the season due to a torn meniscus, the team's superstars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire are back in the lineup, and the team's strength has skyrocketed.

"At least there is a forty percent hope, maybe we can still be black!" Knicks legend Alan Houston offered his guess in an interview.

Because it is a shortened season, the playoffs and the regular season are very close together, and there is only one day for fans to adjust.

Local bookmakers in the United States offer odds to win the championship, and the Heat's ultra-low odds of 1 to 3 rank first, while the 76ers, who have the first regular season record, are in third place with odds of 2 to 9, even inferior to the Spurs in the West, and the most important reason is that the 76ers lack playoff experience and Finals experience.

And at the end of a season, the list of major statistics is always talked about.

Tang Wenlong won the first scoring title of his career with an average of 30.7 points per game, just turned 21 years old this year, setting a new minimum age for this award, followed by Durant who averaged 28.3 points per game, Kobe Bryant who averaged 27.9 points per game, James who averaged 27.1 points per game and Kevin Love who averaged 26 points per game.

Howard won the title of rebounding king with 14.5 rebounds per game, and Love Xingxing was distracted by offensive scoring, and this season rebounding is not as good as last season, ranking second with 13.3 rebounds per game, followed by Bynum who averaged 11.8 rebounds per game, and Cousins and Humphries, who also had 11.

He was followed by Rondo, who won the assist title, with 11.7 assists per game, the highest since Stockton's 12.3 per game in the 94-95 season, followed by Nash with 10.7 per game, followed by Paul with 9.1 assists, Calderon with 8.8 and DeLong with 8.7.

In the pentathlon, followed by blocks and steals, the block king was taken by Congo striker Ibaka, who averaged 3.7 times per game, and the steal king was won by Paul, who averaged 2.5 times per game. It is worth mentioning that Tang Wenlong's average of 1.8 steals per game ranks fifth in the league, even higher than Rondo, and Iguodala's average of 1.7 steals per game also ranks eighth in the league.

At the end of the regular season, Tang Wenlong averaged 30.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of 48.9 percent, a three-point shooting rate of 41.1 percent, and a free throw shooting rate of 87.5 percent, still ranking first in the latest MVP list.
