Chapter 1747 Record Reaper, Ji Feng!
The playoffs will officially kick off Game 1 at Staples on April 18th!
The grouping this time is also very interesting. In addition to the Lakers and the Hornets, the old strong teams, the Spurs, Mavericks and Nuggets happened to be fighting against the Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and Thunder. This undoubtedly made the first round of this playoffs There are a few more things to watch.
However, except for the matchup between the declining Nuggets and the Thunder, almost no one thinks that the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers will achieve a counterattack. The Trail Blazers are because Roy has been injured, and although the Grizzlies have given people a lot of surprises , but the Spurs have always been the most stable in the playoffs.
As for the Lakers versus the Hornets, although the Hornets have Paul in the lineup, almost no one is optimistic about them. In the official ESPN program on the 16th, 24 experts unanimously gave the conclusion that the Lakers will win, and 20 of them even gave very A big score of 4-0 without giving any face.
Most fans think it's very reasonable. After all, the Lakers are the Triple Crown champions and are still strong this season, winning 70 games. Although their record has fluctuated in the final stage, the Hornets are even worse. Their ability to enter the playoffs depends entirely on the support of their peers. , although the 46-win record is much better than several playoff games in the Eastern Conference, it is really not enough in the Western Conference.
Moreover, the Lakers' record in the first round of the playoffs was too overbearing. For three consecutive seasons, the Lakers did not lose a game in the first round of the playoffs. Three crisp 4-0s showed their kingly temperament.
Will this year be an exception?
Most people think it’s difficult!
Except of course for the Wasp himself!
"The playoffs are a completely different ballgame, and all I can say is, we'll see." - Chris Paul.
"After two seasons here, we finally made it to the playoffs. Although our opponent was the Lakers, we also beat them, so this will not be an easy matchup." - Okafor.
The two core players inside and outside the Hornets said when they arrived in Los Angeles for an interview.
The new head coach of the Hornets also expressed the same view: "We are not weak, are we? The game is fair."
Unfortunately, Ji Feng has always ignored these remarks. Ji Feng has no interest in saying anything harsh to his opponents in the first round. If it were the Hornets two years ago, he might still care, but now...
Moreover, before the game, you can say whatever you want. Whether it can be realized will have to be proven on the field.
And the fans don't care. Now, with two days left before the playoffs, the fans are still concerned about the regular season data.
And this season, Ji Feng is definitely a standout in the statistics list!
This season, Ji Feng averaged a terrifying 35.9 points per game, the highest scoring average since 2000, successfully surpassing Kobe Bryant's 35.4 points in 2006.
Not only that, Ji Feng is also the only player to average more than 30 points per game this season. Durant is second, with only 27.1 points.
And Ji Feng also became another player after Jordan to win the scoring title for three consecutive seasons!
In the assists list, Ji Feng unfortunately fell to the second position with an average of 10.5 assists per game, ending his three-season dominance of the assists king. In the last dozen games, Rondo suddenly went crazy next door, and finally averaged 10.5 assists per game. The number of assists reached 11.3, but this is in line with expectations. After all, Ji Feng has indeed invested more energy in scoring this season, averaging 21 shots per game, which is a career high.
However, Ji Feng surprised many people in the rebounding list. Love played 73 games for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 20.2 points per game, grabbing 15.2 rebounds, and 2.5 rebounds per game. assists, shooting rate reached 47%.
Several statistics have created new personal career highs. Love's average data this season also made him the first player to average 20.0 points per game in a single season since Moses Malone (24.5 points and 15.3 rebounds) in the 1982-1983 season. A player with 20 points and 15 rebounds.
He also successfully broke Howard's two-year monopoly on the rebounding title.
Howard ranked second with 13.2 rebounds per game, and in the third position was a name that no one expected.
Ji Feng!
This season, Ji Feng has invested more energy in the offensive end. In addition to scoring, Ji Feng can get 4.8 offensive rebounds per game, which is even higher than Love and Howard, ranking first in the league. He also ranked third in the rebounding list with an average of 11.8 rebounds per game, creating the best ranking among outside players in the rebounding list!
This difficulty is even greater than winning the assist title. To be able to pick up such rebounding data among dozens of big men in the league, many coaches regret that Ji Feng has not grown 10 centimeters taller!
"This is definitely a monster!" Rodman, who has won seven rebounds, commented.
As for the steals list, Ji Feng took the lead with an average of 3.8 steals per game. In the shot-blocking list, Ji Feng averaged 2 blocks per game for the first time, which also ranked him fifth in the shot-blocking list. !
35.9 points, 10.5 assists, 11.8 rebounds, 3.8 steals and 2 blocks. These are Ji Feng’s averages per game. Once again, Ji Feng ranks in the top five in the league in all five statistics!
"This is the strongest player. Do you have any doubts?" Barkley said after appreciating Ji Feng's statistics for 20 minutes: "This is the most perfect data, this is the most perfect performance, and the team has a double harvest individually. Other Lakers players have not been greatly affected. Kobe still averages 24.8 points per game, Gasol also has 14.8 points, Bynum has 10 points and 9.8 rebounds, and even Artest has 14 points. Magic talents from the Big Five like the Lakers. It’s the most perfect model.”
Indeed, Ji Feng's statistics are gorgeous and make it impossible to find any black spots. First of all, it is naturally because the Lakers have won 70 games. I can only say that it is blind if it is black. Moreover, the statistics of his teammates are also very good. The most important thing is, Ji Feng's assist-to-turnover ratio ranks first in the league, and his average plus-minus per game also leads the league. His 1.8 turnovers per game are enough to put James to shame, and his 2.3 fouls per game prove that he plays very cleanly.
The average shooting percentage of 65.8%, the three-point shooting percentage of 56% and the free throw shooting percentage of 98% make it impossible for the blacks to say a word, because if the season peak is very bad, the NBA should be renamed a garbage league. .
Ji Feng was also successfully selected to the 180 Club for three consecutive seasons, becoming the third player after Bird and Nash to achieve this achievement.
This kind of performance makes the competition for MVP this season almost no suspense. It is only a matter of time.
However, Ji Feng remains low-key, and now all he cares about is the championship!
On the 17th, the Lakers also officially submitted a 12+1 13-man roster to the league.
The specific list is as follows:
Center: Bynum, Powell.
Power forward: Gasol, Joe Smith.
Small forward, Ji Feng, Artest, Barnes.
Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant, Farmar.
Point Guards: Fisher, Blake, Shannon Brown.
Active roster: Johnson.
This is also the Lakers' strongest roster.
On the afternoon of the 17th, the Lakers team held the last training session before the start of the playoffs. The Lakers faced the Hornets in the first round series and still aimed to sweep them.
