I’m Really Playing Basketball

The 2011-2012 regular season is over. After an unsatisfactory regular season, the Bobcats once again successfully broke the league's regular season record, achieving a record of 78 wins and 4 losses in a single season.

At the same time, Chen Xiao, the head player of the Bobcats, scored 34.15 points, 11.1 rebounds, 12.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.1 blocks this season.

After the 1961-62 season, fifty years later, the NBA once again had a triple-double king who averaged a triple-double per game in a single season.

Even the triple-double king this time seems to be more terrifying than the time Oscar Robertson averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game.

Why do you say that? Is it because of the steals and blocks data?

Of course not. Fifty years ago, the NBA had no statistics on blocks and steals.

The reason why Chen Xiao's statistics are even more terrifying is because, fifty years ago, Oscar Robertson's three-digit triple-double per game ranked sixth in the league in scoring and ranked first in rebounds. No. 10, and ranks first in the league in assists.

The three main data are all ranked in the top ten, which is actually very impressive.

However, you also need to admit that the NBA player statistics are indeed very inflated this season. This is of course not to deny the strength of the players. It is mainly due to rules issues, because this season, not only Oscar Robertson averaged a triple-double per game. Wang, at the same time, Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points per game this season.

Chamberlain averaged 25.7 rebounds per game and Russell averaged 23.6 rebounds per game also this season.

At the same time, six players averaged 30 points per game and 5 players averaged 18 rebounds per game in a single season, also this season.

From the perspective of modern basketball, this data is indeed very inflated.

But no matter what, the gold content of Oscar Robertson's triple-double per game is very recognized, otherwise Oscar Robertson would not have always been one of the greatest players in the NBA because of this honor.

And this record, which was considered to be the same as Chamberlain's 50+ per game and impossible to break, was finally broken by Chen Xiao.

This season Chen Xiao not only broke Oscar Robertson's triple-double record of 30+ per game, but also ranked first in points, fourth in rebounds, first in assists, fourth in steals, and fifth in blocks. The same ranking data Created or tied NBA history.

In the history of the NBA, no player has ever been in the top five in five statistics in a single season.

Chen Xiao is the first.

But after all, the NBA often does not have statistics on steals and blocks, so all the major statistics are in the top five.

For example, the season when Chamberlain led the league in assists.

In the season when Chamberlain was the assists leader, he was fifth in scoring, first in assists and rebounds, and was in the top five in all three major statistics.

In fact, Chamberlain had many seasons like this. In the season before he led the league in assists, Chamberlain was also in the top five in three major statistics: fifth in scoring, first in rebounds, and third in assists.

Otherwise, Chamberlain is a god in the regular season statistics field.

As for the earlier NBA, there is no need, because the NBA of that era didn't even have rebounding statistics.

In short, this season, Chen Xiao led the team to a record of 78 wins and 4 losses, and achieved such exaggerated personal peak data. Chen Xiao almost directly turned the 2011-2012 season into Chen Xiao's season.

Why do you say that?

Because after the regular season ends, no matter which media or famous experts are taking stock of this season, they are actually taking stock of Chen Xiao.

As for the other teams this season, everyone else has almost become a sideshow and has not even appeared.

Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao!

After the 2011-2012 season, Chen Xiao was almost the only voice left in the entire NBA.

This is indeed an exaggeration, but it is true.

This season, the Bobcats have created an unparalleled stage for Chen Xiao.

In order to create such a stage for Chen Xiao, the data of other Bobcats this season is not said to have plummeted, but the decline is also very obvious.

Last season, the Bobcats produced an unprecedented five players who averaged over 20 points per game.

This season, the only Bobcat players averaging 20 per game are Chen Xiao and Rose. Even Roy has not averaged 20 per game.

Obviously, these star players of the Bobcats returned a lot of their ball rights to Chen Xiao.

Of course, less is more. The Bobcats' role players benefit from Chen Xiao's control of the ball and can actually get more care in terms of data.

Therefore, the Bobcats' role players have received a lot of opportunities this season.

Players such as Cousins ​​and Jimmy Butler all played very good statistics and performances.

And this is why the Bobcats are still so strong this season after Stoudemire and Shane O'Neal left.

This season's Bobcats can really be called a three-armed team, and the performance of the role players is really very positive.

After the regular season of this season, although NBA experts and media celebrities are discussing Chen Xiao.

But Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players are paying attention to other players and teams at this time.

This season is a crucial season for the Bobcats to establish their own dynasty. The three consecutive championships must not be interrupted here.

Although everyone else's eyes are on the Bobcats and Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats cannot really feel that they are invincible. No other team can shake the Bobcats.

In the final analysis, no matter how good the Bobcats perform this season, without O'Neal and Spartier, it means nothing. Compared with last season, the Bobcats do have some loopholes in the system this season.

It's just that such loopholes do not affect the Bobcats' record in the face of the Bobcats' strong overall strength.

However, the regular season is the regular season, and the regular season is different from the playoffs. The teams in the regular season will not really try to catch your loopholes, but in the playoffs, everything is different.

In the playoffs, when you're sick, the other team is really going to kill you.

Of course, the Bobcats' current shortcomings and loopholes are far from fatal.

But no matter what, those teams that have been ignored by media experts this season, the Heat, Bucks, Cavaliers, Spurs, and Lakers, have not disappeared or ceased to exist. They are still there, and they are still very powerful.

Because, this season, they still firmly occupy the top position in the league.

Let’s talk about the Western Conference first. The rankings of the Western Conference this season are as follows. From first to eighth, they are the Spurs, Lakers, Timberwolves, Clippers, Mavericks, Suns, Jazz, and Thunder.

This season, the Western Conference is still dominated by the Spurs, Timberwolves and Lakers. These three teams are one step ahead of the other Western Conference teams.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, these three teams will represent the Western Conference in the finals this year.

As for the Mavericks, who reached the finals last season.

This season has actually been a bit sluggish due to the departure of Tyson Chandler and the fact that role players don't seem so magical.

However, in the regular season of the Mavericks last season, their role players were also very average. Therefore, it is really not certain how the playoffs will be. Maybe the Mavericks can once again create miracles this season and beat the Lakers, Spurs and What about the Timberwolves' monopoly on the West?

And to find the strongest among the three teams of the Lakers, Spurs and Timberwolves, it is of course the Spurs.

It’s not that the Timberwolves and Lakers are not strong.

But the Spurs have remained stable this season.

The Timberwolves changed owners last summer, and Garnett became the new owner of the Timberwolves.

As for the Lakers, the consortium formed by Kobe continues to acquire the Lakers.

The Lakers are different from the Timberwolves. They are not easily acquired, and the acquisition is not that simple. This is a big deal.

In fact, many people who know the inside story know that the reason why the Lakers' transaction has been delayed is not that Kobe didn't give enough money.

But, Buss doesn't want to sell. At least, he won't sell his beloved Lakers before his death.

The old Buss did not directly refuse, that is because his group of living treasures have no interest in continuing to maintain the glory of the Lakers, but are very interested in the pile of cash in Kobe's hand.

It is precisely because Old Buss understands this that he knows that a hundred years from now, perhaps handing the team over to Kobe or Magic is the best destination for this team.

I have to say that although this old man is seriously ill now, he is still very clear about it.

Therefore, Kobe is now waiting for the arrival of the very painful and frustrating news.

After all, when Kobe and the Lakers came down, Buss was actually the same as Jerry West and Magic. He was the totem of the Lakers of that era, denying that Buss was either Jerry West or Magic. In fact, it negates the era that made the Lakers the only aristocratic team in the NBA.

Bass, Jerry West, and Magic are actually one.

Back to the Eastern Conference, this season's regular season, the Eastern Conference, except the Bobcats are undoubtedly the first.

The teams ranked 2 to 8 that have entered the playoffs are the Bucks, Heat, Raptors, Cavaliers, Bulls, Celtics and New York Knicks.

The rankings in the Eastern Conference are very interesting. The top five are almost unchanged from last season.

This is mainly due to the five teams in front. Compared with the teams behind, there is indeed a big gap.

However, although the rankings have not changed, the actual content is still very different.

Just say that the three teams of Cavaliers, Heat and Bucks have reached 60 wins this season.

In the regular season this season, these three teams played the regular season with all their might in order to be ranked second and third and avoid the Bobcats.

The Bucks and Cavaliers are in the same division. The two teams want to compete for first place. If they can't compete for first place, they also have to compete for the best second place in the East. Because the Raptors have an average record and only rely on being first in the division to enter the top four. , so even the second best performer can still be ranked third.

As for the Heat, because they are in the same division as the Bobcats, they must be second in the division, and they are grabbing the second place with the best results in the division.

In this case, the Heat certainly cannot let their record be lower than that of the Bucks and Cavaliers. When the Cavaliers and Bucks compete for first place, they also hope that their record is better than the Heat. In this case, even if they are second in the division , you can also enter the top three.

In the end, the result of the battle between the three teams was that the Bucks and Heat won with 62 and 61 wins respectively, while the Cavaliers, who both had 61 wins, fell to fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Fifth in the Eastern Conference, they can only face the Bobcats in the second round.

So, you see, although they are similar in terms of record rankings, are they much different in terms of content?

This season, the strength gap between the Bucks, Heat, and Cavaliers is very small.

The reason for this is mainly due to the fact that the Cavaliers led by James have indeed become stronger.

The reason why the Cavaliers have become stronger is due to their success in changing their tactics. James has successfully transformed into a player who can be a killer player. He can not only control, but also kill.

At the same time, the two wing players selected by the Cavaliers in recent years, Wesley Matthews and Danny Green, have performed very well.

Especially Matthews. Matthews is now an excellent 3D player who can shoot 40% from three-pointers and averages 15 points and 1.5 steals per game.

Although Danny Green is not as good as Matthews and his offense is much worse, when it comes to defense, Danny Green is even better than Matthews.

Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers' starting lineup of Oden, James, Danny Green, Matthews and Conley is playing well this season.

In fact, not only Green and Matthews, Oden and Conley have also grown a lot this season.

It's just that he wasn't as impressed as the two of them. After all, these two were very strong before.

But even so, Oden still needs to be talked about.

When Oden first entered the league, he was still a rough guy. Every time he was hit in the back, people would worry about whether he was going to walk, and his feet were very broken.

But now, five seasons have passed. His lifelong enemy Durant has already won the regular season MVP last season, and he himself has finally mastered the offense in his fifth season. .

Now Oden's offense is of course incomparable to top offensive centers like Yao Ming, but now Oden is indeed able to use his talents and abilities on the offensive end. He already has a very qualified offensive and defensive ability. The best center.

It can also be seen from here that the Cavaliers, who played six games with the Bobcats last season, are actually stronger this season.

Of course, the Heat and Bucks are stronger than last season. The Bucks' strength comes from Durant and Curry becoming stronger, while the Heat's strength comes from Anthony's better integration.

In this case, if you were a Bobcats player, would you underestimate these three teams?

of course not.

However, although the Bobcats are always vigilant against the three teams of the Heat, Cavaliers and Bucks.

However, against the Knicks, the Bobcats were still very relaxed.

On May 6, 2012, in the first round of the NBA playoffs between the Bobcats and the Knicks, the Bobcats easily swept the Knicks, led by Stoudemire, Carter, Tyson Chandler, Westbrook and others 4-0. Si, took the lead in reaching the second round.

With the end of the first round of the NBA playoffs, major awards in the regular season begin to be awarded.

And Chen Xiao undoubtedly won the MVP, and...

Still a unanimous MVP at the level that shocks the past and present!
