Chapter 1048 (1/2)
In January, thunder and the Lakers fell behind in the Western Conference, and will definitely miss the playoffs.
In this season's preseason, thunder star Durant suffered a right metatarsal bone fracture, rest until December 3. However, Durant was injured again in the game against the warriors on December 19 and chose conservative treatment. His return time is uncertain.
The eldest and the third all rested, and wesbrook got a lot of right to the ball and hit the personal peak data of 28 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game. For the first time in his career, the data was better than Durant and his popularity was improved.
In fact, Wei Shao's scoring efficiency is not high, or is very low. He has 22 shots per field, with an overall hit rate of 42.6%, a mid shot shooting rate of less than 40%, and a three-point shooting rate of 29.9%. He scored mainly from free throws, with an average of 9.8 free throws and 8.1 free throws, with a shooting rate of 83.5%.
After the end of this season, Wei Shao's desire for data will reach a new height, Durant will not be able to hold him back. In addition, the thunder management has lost confidence in the internal line of hofford, and the only one waiting for the thunder three less in the future is to break up.
Thunder can't be rebuilt. Durant wants to win the championship. If the team doesn't win the championship, the possibility of his contract renewal in 2016 is almost zero. Hofford's contract also expired in 2016, and he could be traded a year ahead of schedule, making it difficult to get back a strong man.
Thunder's inside line this year is the weakest in the league, the starting center is Kendrick Perkins with high salary and low ability, with an average of 4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He can do nothing but fight against people in the forbidden area.
The Lakers also suffered from injuries and became the bottom team in the West.
Deron Williams did well last season, and Laker coach Byron Scott appreciated it.
As soon as Scott appreciates someone, he will definitely give him a lot of playing time, regardless of whether the opponent's body can withstand a long time of competition. For example, when Paul was in charge, he played about 38 minutes per game in the season. Finally, Paul was injured and he was dismissed. When coaching Marbury and Kidd, he also needs star point guard for a long time.
Deron's playing time increased from 33 minutes last season to 38 minutes, and he was responsible for the main attack with the ball, which cost a lot. He's only played 15 games before he's seriously sprained GG's right ankle.
It never comes singly. Bosh was found to have pulmonary thrombosis after 42 games and was reimbursed for the season.
He needs to be treated with a blood thinner, so he can't play basketball in a physical confrontation and have an indefinite truce. This is not an injury that can be avoided by changing a team. Unfortunately for the Lakers, the five-year contract will not expire until 2019.
Inside and outside the double core all rested, the Laker inside the first scorer is Nick Young, the second round rookie Clarkson, this still has to play? Scott can do what he's good at again. He is aboveboard and full of confidence. He's a rotten leader.
No big surprise. This is Scott's last season with the Lakers.
The Lakers' internal and external troubles are not only on the court, but also among the management. After the death of old bass, Jim buss became the president, but his position was not stable. He was often forced by his sister, Jennie bass.
The Lakers hold annual meetings to vote for team president, and Jennie bass has been elected since 2013. She gave Jim buss three years to return to the championship, and if Jim doesn't, Jennie will be able to get the board's support and take over the Lakers in the future.
How can the Lakers compete for the title now? They are clearly to fight for the champion, Jim is the first two big, want to trade also too late, the two injured stars simply can not send out.
The team with the fastest decline in the East is the Knicks, which is beyond everyone's expectation. 9-38 is the bottom in the East, only two more wins than the 76ers.
Before the start of the season, the Knicks and 76ers were predicted as strong teams by experts, and no one guessed that the two teams would compete for the champion.
