Bishop of the Devil

In the blink of an eye, the time has entered the end of February.

Throughout February, the Blazers played a total of fifteen games. What is incredible is that the Blazers did not lose a game and won them all.

What's even more frightening is that in these fifteen games, more than half of the games ended in a victory for the Blazers.

To be able to call it a big victory, there must be at least a score difference of more than fifteen points...

This kind of dominance can definitely be called terrifying, and the current pioneers are quite invincible.

Kobe is currently averaging 26.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. This is a proper All-Star starting level. Iverson, the only guard in the entire league who can compete with Kobe, currently averages 27.8 points and 4.7 assists per game. With 5.2 rebounds and 2 assists, his points are higher than Kobe's, but his rebounds and assists are not as high as Kobe's.

If nothing else, this year's season scoring champion will emerge from these two people. Iverson has a greater chance of winning, but Kobe is not completely without a chance.

If Richard really wants Kobe to win the scoring title this season, it's actually quite simple. Let Kobe take crazy shots in every game, and then he can get the scoring title.

With Kobe's current ability, giving him an extremely sufficient number of shots, he still has a chance to average 30 points per game.

However, in Richard's opinion, this kind of thing is unnecessary. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. It is better to let these two boys compete based on their strength, so that even if they lose, there will be no excuse.

In the scoring list, after Kobe and Iverson, there is O'Neal, a killer at the basket. He currently ranks third in the scoring list with an average of 26.3 points per game.

As for the fourth player behind, Karl Malone, his points are much lower, averaging only 23.8 points per game.

What surprised Richard was that Rahim's scoring average ranked among the top five, averaging 23 points per game!

Not to mention the gold content of Rahim's scoring data, at least from this data, we can see that Rahim's strength is really good. If it were not for injuries, Rahim's achievements would definitely be high.

…

Judging from the competition between Kobe and Iverson for the scoring title, in this shortened season, not only the schedule has been shortened, but also the player data has shrunk to varying degrees. The scoring list has shrunk, but the rebounding list has shrunk even more.

Ben currently leads the rebounding list with an average of 15.2 rebounds per game.

The second-ranked candidate in the rebounding list is somewhat surprising to fans. It is Chris Webber, who averages 13 rebounds per game.

In people's minds, Webber is that kind of all-around gorgeous power forward. All-around is also known as all-incompetent. It is really surprising that such a gorgeous power forward can grab the rebounding data of top blue-collar players.

Ranked third is the elder Barkley. He has made a comeback this season. He averaged 12.3 rebounds per game, which is really amazing.

You must know that Barkley is already 36 years old. At the age of 36 in the history of the league, he can still average more than 12 rebounds per game. There are not enough people to slap him.

Ranked fourth is also a veteran, Mutombo, who averages 12.2 rebounds per game...

Mutombo's current official age is 33 years old, but everyone knows that there is too much moisture at this age. His real age is much older than the official age, and the minimum guarantee is that he is five years old.

…

As for the former rebounding champion Rodman, because he just joined the Lakers two days ago, his data is not on the list at the moment.

However, even if he is on the list, with Rodman's current state, it is unlikely that he will average more than 15 rebounds per game. Basically, he will not pose a threat to the rebounding leader.

Judging from the data on the rebounding list, Ben has already shown a rebounding strength that crushes the league.

What makes Trail Blazers fans even more delighted is that O'Brien, who averages 10.3 rebounds per game, is also in the top ten in rebounding, ranking exactly 10th, 0.1 rebounds per game less than ninth-place Garnett.

…

Kobe is seventh on the assist list!

He ranks second in the shot blocking list, averaging 3.6 blocks per game, second only to the kidney fighter Mourning's 3.9 blocks.

O'Brien's 2.4 blocks per game also ranks tenth in the league.

Kobe is second in the steals list, averaging 2.6 steals per game, second only to Nets shooting guard Kendall Gill's 2.7 steals per game.

…

From the top five positive data lists, you can easily see the current dominance of the Trail Blazers!

In addition to assists, in the other four major positive statistics, the Trail Blazers have players in the top three.

…

On March 1, the Trail Blazers played away against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the same division.

Last season, the Timberwolves reached the playoffs and showed pretty good strength, but this season they encountered difficulties.

It can almost be said to be internal strife!

Marbury, the second in charge of the team, is now completely frustrated with the Timberwolves management due to contract issues, and the increasingly prominent conflict with Garnett has made Commissar Marbury determined to leave the Timberwolves.

Garnett's contract was too big, which also resulted in the Timberwolves being unable to pay Marbury a contract that satisfied him.

Marbury averaged 22 points and 8.5 assists per game this season. It's not too much to give him a maximum salary.

But the Timberwolves can't give it because after giving Marbury a salary, they won't be able to put together a lineup. They have to have 13 guaranteed contracts for a season. Garnett and Marbury alone. The total salary is 25 million U.S. dollars, and the remaining 5 million U.S. dollars salary cap is divided among eleven people. How to divide it...

Secondly, the management feels that Marbury is not worth the maximum salary...

The two parties have not reached an agreement on an early contract extension, and this season is the last year of Marbury's rookie contract. When this season ends, Marbury will become a free agent. By then, the Timberwolves will inevitably face the situation of letting Marbury go for nothing.

So they are currently looking for suitable trading targets and preparing to sell Marbury.

According to rumors, the Nets, which Larry Brown has just taken over, have a strong interest in Marbury and are negotiating with the Timberwolves.

Richard didn't care much about this news. Anyway, no matter how hard Larry Brown tinkered, that was all. Without Carlisle to lay the foundation for him, he probably would never get a chance to win a championship in this life.

And if Larry Brown wants Marbury, that is definitely his own idea...

These two people actually played on the same team under normal circumstances, but not with the Nets, but with the New York Knicks.

In 2006, the two people had a public quarrel, which was so embarrassing that Larry Brown was fired not long after.

If Larry Brown brings Marbury to the Nets this time, something might happen.

The Timberwolves, who are currently in internal strife, are definitely no match for the Trail Blazers. In the end, they were defeated by the Trail Blazers by 22 points!

At the post-game press conference, countless reporters came this time, not because of the Timberwolves, but because of the Blazers' opponent in the next game.

Utah Jazz!
