The 99-00 regular season season came to an end.

Western Conference rankings: Lakers with 66 wins and 16 losses first, Trail Blazers with 59 wins and 23 losses second, Supersonics with 57 wins and 25 losses third, Jazz with 56 wins and 26 losses fourth, Suns with 55 wins and 27 losses fifth, Timberwolves with 50 wins and 32 losses sixth, Kings with 48 wins and 34 losses seventh, Spurs with 46 wins and 36 losses eighth.

Eastern Conference rankings: Pacers with 60 wins and 22 losses first, 76ers with 54 wins and 28 losses second, Heat with 52 wins and 30 losses third, Knicks with 49 wins and 33 losses fourth, Bulls with 48 wins and 34 losses fifth, Raptors with 47 wins and 35 losses sixth, Hornets with 44 wins and 38 losses seventh, and Bucks with 42 wins and 40 losses eighth.

Playoffs, No. 25, Pacers and Bucks, Knicks and Bulls, Trail Blazers and Kings, Supersonics and Timberwolves, Four-group Series kicked off.

The 26th, the 76ers and the Hornets, the Heat and Raptors, the Jazz and the Suns, the Lakers and the Spurs will start in the four-group series.

This 8 first round series has more or less a highlight.

When the last regular season game of the Timberwolves defeated the Spurs in the last game on the 22nd night, the media began to hype the highlights of the first round of the match.

Pacers and Bucks, Reggie Miller vs. Ray Allen.

It’s really hard to tell that Ray Allen’s performance in the first three years of his career is very talented in three-pointers. Last season, Ray Allen averaged 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.1 steals. He has a perfect stance as an all-around player at 20+5+5 in the future.

However, this season, Ray Allen's style of playing suddenly changed. He played 82 games in the season and made significant improvements per game. However, while rebounds rose to 5.3 times, assists fell to 3.4 times.

It’s not that a player averages 19.2 points per game in the third grade, he will definitely become a scorer of 20+ per game. On the contrary, some players cannot do it. In the NBA season, scorers who average 20+ per game, including Grant Hill, who only played 31 games, have only 18 of them, and most of them average 20+ per game all year round.

A player can average 20+ points per game, and at least that season, he was one of the top scorers in the league.

Among them, Ray Allen averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game after Payton, second only to 2.4 three-pointers per game, surpassing Zhang Hao, who also averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game, ranking second, and played 82 games. Ray Allen averaged 2.305 three-pointers per game, with a total hit number of 189 and Zhang Hao had 186.

In terms of three-point shooting percentage, Payton only had a three-point shooting percentage of 34.6%, while Ray Allen had a three-point shooting percentage of 43.3%.

Reggie Miller is currently recognized as the first three-pointer in history, but this position has been challenged by Ray Allen. Judging from Ray Allen's performance in the fourth year of his career, even if he can stabilize this level and no longer improve, it will be a matter of time before he surpasses Reggie Miller in the future.

The two of them have a lot of highlights in the first round.

The Knicks and Bulls, the Heat and Raptors, the two sets of series have simple but attractive highlights, Kobe and Carter's playoff debut.

The Lakers and Spurs, O'Neal and David Robinson's feud.

The Trail Blazers and Kings, Rashid Wallace and Chris Webber.

Jazz and Suns, Double Stars VS Double Devils.

The 76ers and the Hornets are probably the only series in the first round that doesn’t have much highlights.

Supersonics and Timberwolves... This series is regarded as the most unpredictable series.

With 57 wins and 25 losses, the Supersonics' record is too much!

No matter how you look at them, they don’t look like a team that can win 57 wins, but they even got it and even advanced to third place in the West!

The most conspicuous feature of the Supersonics team in 82 regular season games is the defense of the Supersonics.

But the Supersonics' defense was not to the extreme. It mainly relies on the rhythm of suppression and strengthens the confrontation. It averaged points per game and lost 88.6 points per game. This is very good, but it averaged 94.2 points per game, ranking 23rd in the league, which is the 7th last in the league.

The key is defensive efficiency. Although the Supersonics average points per game is the second lowest in the league, in fact, the Supersonics' defensive efficiency is only eighth in the league.

The Knicks, Heat, 76ers, Lakers, Pacers, Jazz, Trail Blazers, and the defensive efficiency in front are higher than that of the Supersonics.

The Supersonics are good at rebounding, with 44.9 rebounds per game, fifth in the league, the Lakers, the first average 47 rebounds per game, and the second-ranked 76ers, the Supersonics have no obvious dominance in rebounding.

To create opponent's mistakes, the Supersonics did a good job, making opponents 15.2 turnovers per game, fourth in the league, but the Supersonics themselves had 15.1 turnovers per game, 13th in the league.

To limit the opponent's hit rate, the Supersonics team is 43.9%, which is great, but the Supersonics team's own hit rate is 43.3%...

The Supersonics team's data does not look like a team with the fourth record in the league.

However, just look at Zhang Hao's personal performance, I feel that it is not that difficult to understand.

Zhang Hao finished 82 games, averaging 32.6 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 53.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.8%.

The first in the scoring list, the sixth in the rebounding list, the first in the assist list, the third in the stealing list, and the eighth in the blocking list. All five major data rank in the top ten in the league. This team has had detailed statistics, the NBA has had such a situation for the first time since this team has such a situation. Only Olajuwon has scored, rebounding, stealing and blocking in a single season. Zhang Hao has created history!

In addition, Zhang Hao scored third in three-pointers, which was also amazing.

Also, the efficiency value. Zhang Hao's efficiency value this season has reached 31.2, the second person since the NBA and ABA merged into the modern basketball era in 1976. The first person is slightly more efficient than Zhang Hao's this season in two seasons.

During the peak period of Jordan's data, the efficiency values ​​were 31.7, 31.1, 31.2, and 31.6 respectively in the 87-88 season to 90-91 season.

Generally speaking, players like Zhang Hao who do everything will not be too efficient no matter how high their efficiency is. For example, Oscar Robertson, who averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game, had an average efficiency of only 26.

This is also the reason why James was praised in the future during his peak years. From the 2008-09 season to the 2013 season, James had four times in five years of efficiency values ​​above 30.

If you shoot more than three-pointers, your efficiency is usually not much higher. For example, in the future, Stephen Curry, except for the 15-16 season at the peak, he averaged 5.1 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 45.4%, and scored an exaggerated efficiency value of 31.5. In other seasons, Curry's efficiency value is usually between 21-25.

But Zhang Hao scored 53.9% shooting percentage and 37.8% of the three-point shooting percentage, with a high shooting percentage, and a high shooting percentage, and a very high steal and blocking shots, and scored an efficiency value of 31.2!

Compared with the first round of the game, Zhang Hao's topic is more attractive than the playoffs that the Supersonics will start next.

Fans who are more professional and prefer discussion will talk more about Zhang Hao’s efficiency and comprehensive performance.

What more people are most concerned about is Zhang Hao’s average triple-double average!

The season has 35 triple-double, the second highest in history, averaged triple-double per game, and the second time in history.

The key is that this is the average triple-double in modern basketball!

The record is incomparable. The Big O won only 44 wins in the season averaged triple-double, while Zhang Hao won 57 wins.

Before the start of the Supersonics and Lakers, if Zhang Hao didn't play this game, he would just average triple-double. In this game, he only needed to get 4 assists to complete a triple-double. Before the start of this game, the media was hyping this matter, which was already very popular.

But after Zhang Hao really won a triple-double average in the last 82 games, the sensation reached its peak!

It is two different concepts to be obtained and to be truly obtained!

...

"Congratulations to Aix for completing a triple-double per game. I have been waiting for players like him to appear. Then I am not alone. From the first month of this season, I have hoped that he can do it. I have been worried for a season. Finally, he got 822 assists, more than 10 assists per game and two assists he did. This is a great achievement, an achievement for both of us."

On the morning of April 23, Oscar Robertson expressed congratulations to Zhang Hao in an interview.

However, Oscar Robertson's words caused fans to tease online, guess why he was laughing and crying?

In addition to Oscar Robertson, after the regular season, 13 teams ended this season. Their stars were asked this question. All teams preparing for the playoffs were also asked questions related to Zhang Hao's average triple-double per game in interviews.

Nowitzki continued to yell at Zhang Hao: "Is your basketball god a magician or a big bird or Jordan? Anyway, my basketball god a stone Buddha!"

Kobe refused to be interviewed, and McGrady said in an interview: "I can't believe that there is someone who wants to win a triple-double per game, but if that person is Aix, no matter what happens, it won't surprise me."

O'Neal refused to accept an interview. Pierce said in an interview: "I remember that back then, he was my younger brother..."

At this time, most of the players interviewed were saying things like "Zhang Hao is awesome". They had good relationships, such as Pierce, Kenny Anderson, etc., would choose to make fun of them.

There is one person who is special...

Carter responded in Jordan's tone when interviewing, "He got 86 points. Do you still want to ask this question? Do you need me to explain how strong he is? But if he doesn't do this well, he will teach the children badly, thinking that basketball is played like him, but he is just an exception and others can't do it."

What Carter said was not a problem overall, but the media just pointed out that Zhang Hao's playing style was not good, and he would teach the children badly.

...

By noon, the league announced its last game week and the Player of the Month Awards for April.

With his record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last week, Zhang Hao won the seventh Player of the Week Award in the season, once again setting a record of the best times in a single season.

Zhang Hao did not win the Best Player Award. In April, the Supersonics team had only 6 wins and 5 losses, and won 57 wins. It really depends on the three games in November, January and March. In these three games, the Supersonics team won 35 games, and there were only 22 games in the other three months.

Garnett, who won 6 wins and 3 losses in 9 games in April, won 50 wins for the first time in team history. Garnett averaged 26.9 points, 13.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.9 blocks per game this month. Garnett, who is about to be 24, began to form a stunning trend with Duncan.

However, the best week and the best month are 3 times. Zhang Hao's mid-season personal honor this season is still the best in history!

Since the weekly award, only the Magician has completed five best weekly awards in a single season and was surpassed by Zhang Hao.

Since the Best of the Month Awards, only O'Neal won the Best of the Month Award three times in the 1997-98 season, and was tied by Zhang Hao.

At this time, another topic became popular. This is not a record, but it is an amazing achievement. Zhang Hao won the scoring and assisting king at the same time in a single season!

After the season is played, the data list is naturally frozen.

Scoring champion, Zhang Hao, who averaged 32.6 points per game, beat O'Neal, who averaged 31.5 points per game, and won the scoring champion for the second time in his career. This is not strange. Although he hasn't played for a year, after Zhang Hao's comeback, many media predicted that he would get the scoring champion before the start of the season.

The rebounding king was won by Mutombo, who averaged 14.4 rebounds per game. Since Rodman missed the ball, the rebounding kings have entered the stage of the competition for the heroes. O'Neal began to make efforts in the middle of the season, but he only averaged 13.6 rebounds per game. Many people say that O'Neal was "famous for the time". If O'Neal worked so hard last season, he wouldn't have lost a rebounding king until now. Last season, Webber averaged 13 rebounds per game.

Assistant King, Zhang Hao won the first assist king of his career with 10 assists per game! He beat Kidd's average of 9.8 assists per game!

This year's assist list is relatively bleak. Except for Zhang Hao and Kidd, no one is averaging more than 9 assists per game, and Payton, third, averaged 8.8 assists per game.

The steal king was won by Hornets star Eddie Jones, averaging 2.8 steals per game.

The blocking king was won by Mo Ning, who won the blocking king for two consecutive seasons and became the number one favorite for the best defensive player for the second consecutive year.

It is not surprising that you have won two data kings at the same time in a single season. There have been many cases in history where you have won the scoring king and rebounding king at the same time. The rebounding king and blocking king are the same person, and the scoring king and stealing king are the same person, which is also a relatively common situation.

But the scoring king and the assist king are the same person. There was only one time before Zhang Hao in the 1972-1973 season. Kings legend Knight Archibald averaged 34 points and 11.4 assists per game, and won the scoring king and assist king at the same time, which is the only history.

In this regard, Oscar Robertson was at a disadvantage. Before the 69-70 season, the NBA data king was calculated based on the total season data. For example, the scoring king was based on the total season score, that is, even if he played 60 games, averaged 40 points per game, and scored 82 games, averaged 30 points per game, and scored 60 games, and won the scoring king.

The officially recognized scoring champion in the 67-68 season was Dave Bing, who averaged 27.1 points per game but scored 2142 points in 79 games, instead of Oscar Robertson, who averaged 29.2 points per game but scored only 1896 points in 65 games.

Therefore, in the official statistics list, Oscar Robertson did not win the scoring and assisting kings at the same time in a single season.

Now the only players who have officially recognized the league as winning the scoring and assisting kings in a single season are Knight Archibald and Zhang Hao!

The playoffs are about to begin, and the predictions of major regular season awards are also in full swing.

Interesting things have come. Except for Best Rookie and other awards, almost all have something to do with Zhang Hao and the Supersonics.

Zhang Hao's personal performance, the Supersonics' 57 wins, these two combined are too outstanding!
To be continued...
