The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 246. 245. Bloody March Ruthless Fight (Seeking Monthly Pass)

The time has entered March. For the Magic, the best news in March is probably that Lewis will come back to add bricks and tiles to the team's offensive firepower.

And the current season is more than half of the schedule, and the Magic still occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference.

Although the gap with the two teams behind the Cavaliers and Celtics is not very big, even if these two teams want to overtake, they still have a certain degree of difficulty.

After all, the current Magic team has not only reached a peak in terms of team chemistry, but also has made breakthroughs in player mentality.

Because the Magic this season has great hopes of breaking the best record in team history created by the team before.

So this also makes the players in the team start to go all out and create history together.

Among them, even Iverson, who has always been bohemian, has begun to devote himself to his usual training.

Although there are often some scenes of being late for training, the good news is that Iverson has not gone out to fool around during this period. Even if he is late, he will definitely come to the arena for training.

Faced with this situation, Stan Van Gundy turned a blind eye and didn't care too much about it.

After all, as long as the team can show a record, then this is just a trivial matter.

Of course, this kind of privilege is only limited to the existence of Allen Iverson. If someone else dares to miss Stan Van Gundy's training, then the end is definitely conceivable...

After entering March, the Orlando Magic still kept making great strides, especially after Lewis came back, the offensive firepower of the entire Orlando Magic has been greatly improved.

When he just came back, Stan Van Gundy also put Lewis on the bench to play, and controlled his playing time to less than 20 minutes.

In order to be able to better protect Lewis, after all, the playoffs are coming soon, if some injuries occur at this time, causing the players to be unable to play, then this will definitely be a very bad thing.

In the few games that entered March, the Magic finally won the game without any risk.

Throughout the first half of the month, the Magic played a total of 9 games, which is definitely at the top of the league.

Since the Magic's game schedule at the beginning of the season is still relatively scattered, this also causes the Magic to face a very dense schedule later in the season.

And this will definitely be a very difficult challenge for the Magic.

Once a person has a goal, he will become extremely motivated in the process.

Just like the current Magic team, the biggest goal is to be able to break the team history record set by the team before.

So even though the schedule is very difficult, the players are still gritting their teeth and persevering, and Stan Van Gundy arranged simple rotations for some unimportant games to be conservative.

So that the players can maintain the best physical condition, and strive not to face that damn injury before the playoffs.

In the nine games in the entire first half of March, the Magic finally won a record of 7 wins and 2 losses.

Although this record is definitely not excellent for the Magic, what you need to know is that the Magic's schedule during this period is not only very intensive, but most of their opponents are playoff-level teams.

So the pressure that the Magic need to face is naturally very huge. In addition, seven of these nine games are away games, so it can be said to be a very rare thing to be able to win a record of 7 wins and 2 losses in this period of time.

After these nine games in March, the Magic also successfully improved their record to 49 wins and 16 losses.

While continuing to sit firmly at the top of the Eastern Conference, it is also ahead of the Cavaliers behind them with a gap of 1.5 wins.

As for the league's No. 49 Lakers, they currently top the league with a record of 14 wins and [-] losses.

In terms of probability, there are still many teams that can threaten the Lakers' No. [-] position in the league.

But from a practical point of view, the season is coming to an end, and those who can truly threaten the Lakers' first position in the Western Conference will definitely no longer exist in the entire Western Conference.

The two teams that can threaten the Lakers' first position in the league are the Magic and the Cavaliers."

February 3.

While the entire league was in a tense atmosphere, the league also released the latest list changes on this day.

As this season is coming to an end, every new list released by the league is of great reference value.

Because the season has reached this stage, many experts and media also have a scale in their hearts about what kind of performance each player has.

Therefore, the list changes in each issue may directly affect the final personal ranking.

Among them, in the personal selection of the regular season MVP this season, James temporarily ranked first in the league with an insignificant advantage.

So far this season, the Cavaliers' team record is not only very good, in terms of personal performance, James can also contribute 28.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.

Among them, the average of 28.6 points per game ranked second in the league this season, so it is well deserved for James to lead the regular season MVP list.

However, although James has been performing very well this season, it is not a certainty that he wants to win the regular season MVP this season.

Because it is the Lakers star Kobe Bryant who is ranked second at the moment.

The gap between Kobe and James is not very big, and the Lakers even have an advantage in record.

So until the last moment, no one knows who will get the regular season MVP this season.

So far, Kobe Bryant has averaged 26.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and a career-high 5.6 assists per game this season.

The most important thing is that this season Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage is as high as 46.3%, and his three-point shooting percentage is also 33.1%.

In addition to the excellent record of the Lakers currently ranking first in the league, in the final MVP battle, it will be a difficult question to choose who has a better chance between Kobe and James.

In addition to Kobe and James, the 3-5 places currently on this list are Howard, Wade and Nowitzki.

Among them, so far, Howard has averaged 17.8 points, 13.6 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.1 steals per game.

Wade averaged 30.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game.

Nowitzki had 25.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

In this list, if we only talk about statistics, then Wade is definitely the most conspicuous existence among them.

Because Wade is not only the only player who averaged 30 points per game this season, but also the league's leading scorer so far this season.

However, the team's record of 34 wins and 30 losses has hindered Wade a lot, so this data also has a serious shrinking behavior.

Theoretically speaking, unless Wade can lead the Heat to a wave of winning streak in the next game, and during this period, he has to maintain this fiery state.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for Flash Wade to take too much advantage in this year's regular season MVP selection.

After all, data is not the only criterion for selecting MVP, otherwise data brushers would have already become full of honor.

As for Howard's ability to rank among the top three in the regular season MVP selection, in addition to the excellent record of the Magic, the biggest reason is his ability to dominate on the defensive end.

But it is a pity that Howard's offensive ability is still to be developed, so judging from the current situation, Howard basically has no chance of being the regular season MVP of this season.

But if nothing else, Howard will definitely be the best defensive player of the season.

In addition to the regular season MVP ranking list, the best rookie ranking battle that has been receiving much attention this season also has the latest progress.

In the latest rookie rankings, Derrick Rose has successfully overtaken Su Jiu and regained the top spot on the rookie rankings.

The change in this list, in addition to Derrick Rose's excellent performance recently, is also due to a change in the Magic team itself.

Since the Magic traded for Allen Iverson in the middle of the season, this also led to a slight decline in Su Jiu's shots.

Among them, while the number of shots dropped to a certain extent, Su Jiu still failed to maintain a stable performance personally.

In games with good touch, Su Jiu has also staged 30+ burst performances in a single game many times, but in games with poor performance, Su Jiu has also staged an embarrassing performance of 4 points in a single game.

Therefore, due to various reasons, Derrick Rose has successfully surpassed Su Jiu and returned to the top of the rookie rankings.

So far, Derrick Rose has averaged 36.1 minutes per game, of which he can contribute 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

Because when selecting the best rookie award, the NBA will not have too strict requirements for the team's record.

It can be said that it is very different from the regular season MVP selection.

So even though the Bulls are currently only ranked seventh in the East and are on the verge of the playoffs, this still cannot affect Derrick Rose's personal brilliance.

In addition to Derrick Rose, the other two Su Jiu and Mayo among the evil three in this draft are ranked 2nd to 3rd respectively.

Among them, although Su Jiu's unstable performance due to some individuals, coupled with some adjustments within the team, has recently slipped to the second place in this list.

However, this still failed to affect the personal support of online fans for Su Jiu. Among them, overseas, that is, in China, Su Jiu's support rate has reached his personal peak.

In terms of popularity alone, Su Jiu's personal base is currently far ahead of Derrick Rose and OJ Mayo.

But it is a pity that for the selection of the best rookie, the fans can only be in a state of pressure.

In the end, what really affects the selection results depends on the voting results from the media and experts.

So far, Su Jiu has averaged 31.2 minutes per game this season, among which he has personally contributed 15.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists.

And at the same time, Su Jiu was also able to contribute 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks on the defensive end.

It can be said that if we only talk about comprehensive ability, then Su Jiu is definitely the most comprehensive existence among the rookies this year.

Even Westbrook, who is equally comprehensive, cannot compare with Su Jiu in terms of efficiency.

Most importantly, as an outside player, Su Jiu's shooting percentage this season is as high as 48.6%.

If it wasn't because of the poor performance in a few games, which lowered Su Jiu's overall efficiency, it would not be impossible for Su Jiu to break through 50% shooting.

In addition to Derrick Rose and Su Jiu, as the last player in the outside trident in this rookie conference, OJ Mayo's personal performance is still very stable.

In the Rookie Challenge of this All-Star Weekend, in the end Mayo also successfully won the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge, adding to his personal honor.

However, since the All-Star Weekend, Mayo's personal efficiency has declined slightly.

Although it is still considered stable in terms of statistics, Mayo's shooting percentage has begun to become very low.

So far, Mayo's shooting percentage this season has been as low as 41.2%, and his three-point shooting percentage has also dropped to 30.9%.

This also led Mayo to average 18.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game even though he is still able to contribute so far.

However, poor shot selection has lowered Mayo's overall offensive efficiency, which also makes Mayo, who is the rookie scoring leader this year, only rank third in the rookie rankings.

As for whether Mayo can complete his personal counterattack in the next period of time, it depends on whether his personal offensive efficiency can recover.

If Mayo can increase his shooting percentage to over 44%, there is a high possibility that he will threaten Derrick Rose and Su Jiu and return to the top of the list.
