Chapter 154 Season Summary

Author: Feng Yuanhua

The entire American sports world suddenly became lively because of the end of the NBA regular season.

The media, in particular, are rushing to report all kinds of news.

Although many honors are still in the selection stage and the NBA does not make announcements, it can only be predictions.

In addition to these awards, some honors were released early, such as various data kings.

The one that gets the most attention is naturally the scoring leader, which is the most valuable of all data.

McGrady entered the Hall of Fame directly as a two-time scoring champion, which speaks volumes.

I have never heard of anyone being able to enter the Hall of Fame just by virtue of being the assist leader or the block leader.

This year's battle for the scoring title is actually not particularly fierce. O'Neal won the scoring title for the second time with an average of 29.7 points per game.

It is not easy to be crowned the scoring champion as an inside player, and O'Neal's advantage is still unparalleled.

In terms of points per game, the only player who can threaten O'Neal is Iverson's 28.4 points.

It's just that in terms of attendance rate, Iverson is not even as good as O'Neal.

In terms of total points, only O'Neal, Carter, and Karl Malone scored 2,000+.

I have to say that Karl Malone is indeed very good. The 37-year-old not only maintains full attendance, but also averages 25.5 points per game.

Gary Payton ranked ninth in the scoring list with 23.0 points, barely entering the top ten.

As for Wang Hao, his score of 21.8 points just surpassed Mourning, ranking 15th in the league.

As a newbie, this is pretty good.

In fact, the performance of the newcomers this year is indeed very good. In addition to Wang Hao, Elton Brand also entered the top 20.

Elton Brand barely squeezed into the top 20 with an average of 20.1 points per game.

However, as an inside player, he cannot match Wang Hao in terms of shooting percentage and efficiency, which is very problematic.

Many media even claimed that the Rookie of the Year award is the least suspenseful award this year.

Let's talk about the scoring title. This is the second time O'Neal has won this award. He had won the scoring title as early as the 1994-95 season.

In fact, in the 1993-94 season, O'Neal could have won his first scoring title.

As a result, the scoring champion was taken away. Yes, he was taken away.

Originally, O'Neal led the scoring list throughout the season, but not by much.

In the last game, David Robinson scored 71 points and successfully took the scoring title.

However, this is no wonder David Robinson, after all, he relies on his own ability to get high scores in games.

It just feels too deliberate, David Robinson is too deliberate, the Spurs are too deliberate, and the scoring champion is too deliberate.

Although David Robinson won the scoring title, he gave people the feeling of being a chicken thief.

Scoring champion, such a domineering honor, should give people the feeling of being upright and facing someone head-on.

In addition to the scoring champion, the assists champion is also newly revealed.

Kidd successfully won the title of assist king this year by virtue of being the only one with double-digit assists.

Gary Payton ranks second in the assists list with 9.3 assists per game.

Although in recent years, Jason Kidd has been regarded by the media and NBA coaches as the best point guard currently.

However, Gary Payton once again told everyone with his performance that he is still the best.

Scoring, organizing offense, and defending, he is not just a point guard, but he is more comprehensive.

Then there is the rebounding leader. Mutombo has become the rebounding leader this season with an average of 14.1 rebounds per game.

O'Neal, who has reached his all-round peak this year, also averaged 13.6 rebounds per game.

A very interesting thing is that O'Neal, as one of the four major centers in the NBA, has never won the rebounding title.

You know, O'Neal averaged 10.9 rebounds per game throughout his career, but he didn't have a rebounding title.

The steal leader is Eddie Jones, who averages 2.7 steals per game, and the block leader is Alonzo Mourning, who averages 3.7 blocks per game.

Mutombo, who leads in rebounds, and Mourning, who leads in blocks, are also strong contenders for the Defensive Player of the Year award this season.

By the way, Wang Hao also successfully appeared on this list.

With 1.7 steals and 1.4 blocks, Wang Hao became the only player with more than 100 steals and blocks.

You know, not everyone can do this. The last person to do this was Michael Jordan.

Throughout the season, Wang Hao blocked a total of 115 shots and made 140 steals, which was an astonishing performance.

Otherwise, why is he considered to have a chance to enter the All-Defensive Second Team or even the All-Defensive Team?

It depends on the performance of these data.

Major media in the United States are analyzing these data and using data to demonstrate major awards.

There is no way, for the media, data is the most clearly visible thing.

After all, even NBA reporters cannot watch all NBA games throughout the season.

Not to mention, the game is not something you can just watch casually. Watching the game just like fans does is for entertainment.

Otherwise, why would NBA teams have video analysts?

This is treating watching games as a career!

No, the local media in Seattle also carefully analyzed the entire Sonics team.

Among them, the one who surprised them the most was naturally Wang Hao.

He averaged 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, a solid superstar performance.

Recently, the NBA has begun to have the voices of the four major shooting guards, but of course, this voice is still very small.

After all, Tracy McGrady hasn't appeared yet, and Kobe and Carter have only just shown their prowess.

However, some media did put forward such news.

The local newspaper in Seattle was even more blunt and directly proposed the four major shooting guards of the new century.

Iverson leads the way, with Carter among them. Wang Hao and Kobe are also included in this list.

Not to mention, many media outlets agreed with the Seattle Times’s views.

Although the four major shooting guards are far from being comparable to the four major centers, this is indeed a high hope.

When he heard the news, Wang Hao was a little shocked. He just robbed McGrady of his reputation?

However, he also knows that the so-called top four shooting guards today are still somewhat unrealistic.

Let alone him and Kobe, they are still junior-level figures. Even Iverson has not yet been recognized by the entire league.

In the analysis of the Seattle Times, Gary Payton is still the team's most trustworthy core.

Not only that, he is also a strong contender for the regular season MVP this season, second only to O'Neal in popularity.

There is no way, although the Blazers have better results, after all, the Blazers have no real core.

This is an all-star team, everyone can perform well, but it lacks a backbone.

The simplest truth is that when the game reaches a critical moment, the SuperSonics will hand the ball to Gary Payton, and the Lakers will hand the ball to O'Neal.

But what about the Trail Blazers? It seems like anyone can play a dozen.

Anyone can play a dozen, which means that no one is absolutely sure and can only try their luck.
