Rivers' unintentional substitution made the team's offense smoother.
This provided an idea for coaches of other teams, and many coaches fell into thinking.
They found that against the Lakers, it seems that they can replace the center with an extra striker, so that they can better defend Zhang Zhiyuan.
As for the high disadvantage of the center position, this does not seem to be a big problem. Anyway, the Lakers cannot let Bynum focus on the offense.
On the offensive end, letting a relatively agile power forward play Bynum seems to be a natural mismatch and an advantage.
On the court, the game continues.
After Lyon came on the field, Zhang Zhiyuan's chances of shooting dropped sharply, but he still found two opportunities during the pursuit and interception, making one of his two shots.
At the end of the third quarter, Zhang Zhiyuan had scored 30 points and was still 2 points short of completing his goal.
Even better, the Lakers also led the Celtics by 12 points, 84 to 72, which was a huge advantage.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, the Lakers should win this game.
"It's pitiful that the Celtics have not completed their sniping goal, but they also have to face the embarrassment of losing."
Buckley commented.
"I hope they can make a breakthrough in the playoffs, otherwise, it seems difficult for them to beat the Lakers in the finals."
Smith commented.
They chatted for a while, and then the last quarter of the game started.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't rest, he still had physical strength.
On the other hand, for the Celtics, the Big Three are already exhausted.
Rivers also saw the situation clearly and chose to send a substitute to cover for a while.
In this way, if you lose, you can say that the team has not used its full strength and its goal is the finals.
Regardless of whether fans believe it or not, this is still a set of rhetoric.
The game started and the Celtics attacked first.
James Posey made a bold three-pointer.
Anyway, the team has no hope of relying on normal play, so it is better to gamble on touch.
With this mentality, Posey made a very beautiful shot this time and hit the target hollowly.
84 to 75.
The Lakers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to be double-teamed.
Although they all know that they cannot prevent Zhang Zhiyuan from winning the scoring title, it is always right to double-team Zhang Zhiyuan.
Farmar broke through to the basket and scored a layup.
86 to 75.
In the transition between offense and defense, Lyon went to the basket and scored a layup.
When the Lakers attacked, Lyon and Tony Allen teamed up to always keep someone in front of Zhang Zhiyuan. Farmar saw this and did not dare to pass.
Farmar's breakthrough was blocked and passed to Odom on the other side.
Odom took off the ball and scored.
Although the Celtics successfully restricted Zhang Zhiyuan, their defense in other positions was full of loopholes.
No way, this is a 5v5 fair game.
The Celtics attacked, but Tony Allen missed a mid-range shot.
The Lakers counterattacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan's prop effect was triggered. He broke away from the siege of Tony Allen and Lyon and ran towards the Celtics basket.
Farmar passed the ball and Zhang Zhiyuan received the ball and made a layup.
Just two points, which is a pity.
The ball goes in.
90 to 77.
Zhang Zhiyuan's personal score reached 32, and his season scoring average exceeded James.
The total season points have long been exceeded. James only played 75 games this season, while Zhang Zhiyuan played 79 games, with a higher attendance rate.
"Congratulations to Zhang for winning the scoring title this season ahead of schedule. In modern basketball, he is the first player to win the scoring title as a rookie, and he is also the youngest scoring title."
Smith said.
Modern basketball refers to 80 years later, and there is no comparison between the Chamberlain era.
"Really? Where's Jordan, where's Shaquille?"
Buckley did not keep such an unusual record.
"Jordan, Shacklebolt, and Iverson only won the scoring title in their third season. As for other players, they were even further behind."
Smith said.
"So this guy has set another record? Shet, I'm really jealous."
Barkley complained.
On the court, because it was not the home court, the referee did not pause the game to allow the Lakers to celebrate, and the game continued.
However, as Zhang Zhiyuan completed the task, the Celtics lost their fighting spirit.
Even if Rivers becomes the main force, it will be the same.
The game continued for a while, and the point difference remained at about 15 points.
Rivers simply replaced the main force and surrendered in advance.
Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe Bryant also left the game.
The substitutes and fringe players of both sides played out the last few minutes. The Celtics relied on the explosion of Lyon and Posey to recover some points.
But this no longer makes sense.
At the end of the game, 110 to 101, the Lakers only won by 9 points.
However, players who have watched the game know that the Celtics were beaten throughout the game.
In terms of statistics, Zhang Zhiyuan made 12 of 22 shots, 8 of 14 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 37 points.
Kobe made 7 of 12 shots and scored 19 points including free throws.
Odom scored 11 points, and no one else scored in double figures, but the score was even.
Every player who took the field made a profit and everyone was happy.
On the Celtics side, the Big Three didn't perform very well.
Ray Allen scored the highest score of 20 points, Garnett scored 18 points, and Pierce scored 17 points. The Big Three scored 55 points together, one point lower than the double star's 56 points.
The statistics of the Celtics' substitutes are pretty good, but they are garbage time statistics and are of little significance.
"Congratulations to Zhang Zhiyuan for winning the scoring title this season. This is the first time a Chinese player has won the scoring title in the NBA. At the same time, he is also the youngest scoring champion in the league. This record is probably difficult to break."
Sun Zhengping said.
"I can't believe that Zhang Zhiyuan's growth rate has exceeded my imagination. When I saw him play for the first time, I still hoped that he could establish himself in the league. It has only been more than a year, and he has already become one of the best players in the league.
The best player."
Zhang Lili sighed with emotion.
"Having achieved such an achievement at such a young age, tsk tsk tsk, you have a bright future."
"Yes, if we stay healthy, it seems to be only a matter of time before we surpass Jordan."
"I almost forgot that this season's MVP is basically his."
"The mvp is still a little bit suspenseful, but the best period is definitely not running away."
The two of them chatted one sentence after another, and each time they talked, they felt emotional.
After all, they thought these honors were out of reach for Chinese players in the past. Who would have thought that Zhang Zhiyuan would now be picking up the items in the basket as easily as he is buying vegetables at the market.
"Awesome."
"Other people's children."
"Winning another gold medal in the Olympics."
The regular season is over and the dust has settled. Chinese fans are also in disbelief that Zhang Zhiyuan has achieved so many achievements.
However, this is a good thing, a huge good thing.
Many fans were so excited that they even went to a restaurant to celebrate.
Faced with reporters' questions at the post-game press conference, Rivers said: "This is just an insignificant regular season. The playoffs and the regular season are different."
The reporter reminded: "Judging from last season, Zhang Zhiyuan was even stronger in the playoffs."
"..."
Rivers.
"Kevin, if you can't win the championship this season, will you leave the Celtics?"
the reporter asked.
"Of course not, and this question is boring. The playoffs haven't started yet, and the Lakers are not guaranteed to win."
Garnett held back his anger and said.
"I don't think a 74-win team can lose a championship."
the reporter said.
"Then let's make this history."
Ray Allen said.
Seeing that the outside world collectively looked down on them, Ray Allen was also very unhappy.
"We will have more energy in the playoffs."
Pierce.
...
No matter how loud they roar, in the eyes of the fans, it is like a shout of unwillingness and a kind of scene talk.
It was the Lakers' turn, and all the main players of the Lakers were present.
"This is a perfect season, we have an unparalleled record, this will be my most unforgettable season..."
Phil Jackson said.
74 wins and 8 losses, two more wins than the 1996 Bulls.
"This is a dream season. Before the season, I thought we might win more than 60 games, but I didn't expect that we surpassed ourselves. It doesn't matter if we lose the scoring champion, I don't care, I already have two...
..”
Kobe said.
"It's so comfortable to play with Zhang. I hardly sweat this season. If possible, I hope to always be a teammate with him."
Odom said.
"He is very powerful, really very powerful. He is a role model for me to learn from."
Bynum.
"I'll give myself a 9 this season and hope to do better in the future."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Isn't 74 wins enough? Do you want to surpass this result?"
the reporter exclaimed.
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled, neither affirming nor denying.
In his opinion, sooner or later he will have 82 wins, otherwise how can he be considered invincible.
The so-called invincibility means that you can win even if you perform abnormally.
The game between the Lakers and Celtics is the last game of the season. The end of this game means that the 07-08 regular season has officially ended.
Various statistics of the regular season, team record, and playoff rankings are also fully released.
Playoff standings.
The Celtics are first in the Eastern Conference with 64 wins and 18 losses.
The second place is the Detroit Pistons, with 59 wins and 23 losses, not much worse than the Celtics.
Ranking third to eighth are the Magic with 51 wins, the Cavaliers with 44 wins, the Wizards with 42 wins, the Raptors with 41 wins, the Pacers with 39 wins, and the Hawks with 37 wins.
The top three are the Bucks with 22 wins, the Knicks with 19 wins, and the Heat with 14 wins.
The Lakers are first in the Western Conference with 74 wins and 8 losses.
The second place is the Hornets with 56 wins and 26 losses, the second dark horse this season. They only won 39 games last season, which was 17 more games.
As for the number one dark horse, of course they were the Lakers. Everyone guessed that they would be very strong, but they didn't expect that they would be as strong as 74 wins.
The third place is the Spurs, they also have 56 wins. However, they have 1 win and 3 losses in the direct matchup with the Hornets, so they fall behind the Hornets.
Fourth is the Jazz with 54 wins.
The Suns' 55 wins ranked fifth because the Jazz were first in the Northwest Division and automatically locked in a top-four spot.
Of course, the worst thing is not the Suns, but the Mavericks, Rockets, Hornets, and Spurs.
These four teams belong to the Southwest Division and have to play four games against each other. You can imagine how fierce the fight between them was.
Although the Pistons' 59 wins are higher than the Hornets and Spurs, the value of these 59 wins is far less than the 56 wins of the Spurs and Hornets. The Pistons played too many games against weak teams.
The Western Conference teams can maintain a high winning rate by beating the Eastern Conference teams.
This season is truly one where the West is strong and the East is weak.
The sixth-ranked Mavericks have 54 wins, the seventh-ranked Rockets have 52 wins, and the eighth-ranked Nuggets have 50 wins.
Even the ninth-place Warriors have 47 wins.
The Warriors were thrown into the Eastern Conference and were in the top four. But in the Western Conference, they couldn't even make the playoffs.
There are many strong teams in the Western Conference, but also many bad teams.
The Grizzlies, Timberwolves, SuperSonics, and Clippers all have 20 wins and 21 wins.
Player data.
The scoring leader Zhang Zhiyuan, 31.7 points.
Second to tenth were James with 31.6 points, Kobe with 30.8 points, Iverson with 27.4 points, Anthony with 26.2 points, Stoudemire with 25.6 points, Yao Ming with 24.8 points, Kevin Martin with 24 points, and Nowitzki with 23.7 points.
Reid 23.2 points. (Played in more than 50 games in the season.)
The rebounding leader is Howard, averaging 14.4 per game, which is very scary.
The top five are Camby with 13, Tyson Chandler with 12.1, Duncan with 11.7, and Al Jefferson with 11.2.
Assist list.
Chris Paul is first, 11.7.
From two to ten, they are Nash 11.1, Deron 10.5, Kidd 10.2, Jose Calderon 8.3, Baron Davis 7.6, Felton 7.2, James 7.2, Iverson 7.1,
Fisher 7.0.
Compared with the original time and space, there is an extra Fisher. This guy passes the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan. After all, Zhang Zhiyuan just throws the ball, which is too easy to convert into offense.
Moreover, other Lakers players are often open and throw the ball after catching the ball, rarely taking more than a few steps.
Zhang Zhiyuan also has 6.4 assists this season, ranking 15th in the league, which is quite good.
In terms of blocks, the top three are Camby with 3.6 blocks, Howard with 2.9 blocks, Josh Smith with 2.8 blocks, and the rest are all below 2.2 blocks.
In the steals list, Chris Paul ranks first with 2.7.
From second to fifth, Artest has 2.3, Baron Davis has 2.2, Caron Butler has 2.1, and Zhang Zhiyuan has 2.0.
In the true shooting percentage list, Zhang Zhiyuan ranks first, Stoudemire ranks second, and Nash ranks third.
Among the top ten players, only three of them are stars, the others are role players.
The true shooting percentage is high mainly because there are fewer shots.
Three-point ranking.
The leader in average per game is Zhang Zhiyuan, averaging 6.0 per game. His three-point shot ratio is higher than that of two-pointers. He is a veritable three-point machine.
The total number is 474, which not only breaks the record by a long way, but also breaks it by a large margin.
The previous number one was Ray Allen, with 269 in a single season. Zhang Zhiyuan almost doubled that.
The second player this season is Peja, with an average of 3.4 per game and a total of 246.
Third to sixth are Jason Richardson with 3.2, Laga Bell with 3.0, Ray Allen with 2.9, and Nash with 2.6.
These data can only explain a certain ability of a player. To look at the player's comprehensive ability, it depends on the efficiency value.
Efficiency value list.
The first place is Zhang Zhiyuan, 35.4.
Second to ten are James 29.8, Chris Paul 28.4, Stoudemire 27.6, Garnett 26.8, Nowitzki, Duncan, Kobe, Yao Ming, and Billups.
In most of the data, Zhang Zhiyuan can occupy a high position, and even has many firsts.
Taken together, his strength is already well-deserved to be number one in the league.
The only thing missing now is probably qualifications and honor.
There is only one championship, and he is embarrassed to say that his status is higher than Duncan O'Neal.
He needs more honors and more championships. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
