Chapter 681: 【Last train, data king】

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. In March, Danny Green’s good luck came and Korver missed four weeks due to injury.
When joining the Clippers, Korver said in an interview that his defense was underestimated.
"I think so. I never claimed to be a player who ran 30 meters with his opponent at halftime. This is not my task, but if you give me a team system, I will adapt to it. Jazz, I have my own defensive tasks and have done very well. Although I am not one of the best defensive forces in the team, I think I have executed the Jazz defensive plan well. What I want to say is, if you give me a Defensive advice, I will be able to do it well."
This is indeed the case. In the joint defense system, Korver did a good job of using his height to interfere with the shot in his own area. Occasionally, he can retract the anti-basket and cover a cap.
On March 2, Korver made a defensive rebound and gave Rocket center Spencer Hawes a beautiful big cap. When he landed, he sprained his ankle.
As a pitcher, this kind of defense against Korver is still less good. Last season he was injured on defense and missed 30 games in the regular season.
Green thus got a chance to perform and entered the rotation. He didn't get Korver's three-pointers, but the single defense was much better.
He is very maneuverable, and he is good at defending surface shots and shooting. In Yang Rui’s previous life, he played the Thunder against Durant, and the Warriors against Curry, both in the jumper and Curry. Points, such people can not find a few in the league. Huang Ama no matter what, Popovich resolutely put him on the field, showing the defensive level.
The Clippers' attack power became weaker, and Tony Allen, Guy and Green alternated, the defense was strengthened, and the winning rate was stable.
The Mavericks lost a lot of games this month. Nowitzki, Prince and Marion were injured one after another and their strength declined.
The other two are defenders, and there are others who can replace it. Nowitzki is out. The Mavericks' offense immediately drops by one grade. The other people can't attract the binder like him.
Kidd has become a pure role player this season, averaging 33 minutes per game, scoring only 7.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 8.2 assists. His shooting percentage is only 36.1% and his three-point percentage is 34%.
Nowitzki missed 9 games, the Mavericks 5 wins and 4 losses, the two teams battled again, the Clippers easily won.
The team doctor gave Nowitzki a four-week break. He was worried that his record would be overtaken and returned a week earlier to help the team stabilize the situation.
When Nowitzki was on the court, fans were spraying "soft eggs". Only when he was absent could people see his value.
Yang Rui's previous life, the Mavericks won the second season after just winning the playoffs, not only because of the departure of center Tyson Chandler, Nowitzki's state fell after winning the championship, and his mentality changed. When he didn't have a championship, his fighting spirit was high. In the 11-12 season, he realized his dream and started playing health basketball.
Nowitzki's performance can directly determine what height the Mavericks reach.
In April, the Clippers and Mavericks competed first in the regular season.
The Clippers lost a lot of games, and the final victory may not be able to pass 60 games, but this year the teams generally suffered from injuries, and it is possible to get the best record around 60 wins.
Yang Rui knows when to work hard, while defensively, increasing the playing time of Paul and Griffin so that they can attack. The home court advantage in the playoffs will allow the Clippers to take the initiative in the Western Conference.
The two stars and substitute Curry did not disappoint Yang Rui, and led the team to a 7-game winning streak while playing beautiful figures.
The Mavericks failed to maintain their advantage at the last moment. The Mavericks are a team with the core of the veteran.
Prince's absence has affected the team's defensive system. He obeyed the team doctor's arrangement and chose the playoff comeback.
Relying on a wave of winning streak, the Clippers finally achieved 61 wins and 21 losses, from the 13th in the Western Conference last season to the league's first.
The Mavericks ranked second with 60 wins, followed by the Thunder, Spurs, Warriors, Nuggets, Lakers and Trail Blazers.
The Lakers and Trail Blazers have the same record, ranking seventh by virtue of their record, and successfully avoided the Clippers in the first round. But at the level of the Mavericks, they are equally sad.
The Lakers' record after the star game has improved significantly, and finally overtake the Jazz to catch the final playoff bus.
Many media have discovered the league's hands and feet, and in the past month or so, they have continuously published news to compare the Lakers and the Jazz. The league does not want the Lakers to get out of the regular season. They will create a high commercial value in the playoffs, and the Jazz have no meaning in the playoffs.
ESPN said publicly that the free throw data of these two teams in the last dozen games this season and their entire season have changed greatly.
Among them, the Lakers averaged 7.2 more free throws per game than their opponents throughout the season, but this happened when the Lakers lacked a strong low post attack. The Jazz averaged 1 less free throw per game than their opponents.
In the past 15 games, the Lakers averaged 12.1 more free throws per game than their opponents, and nearly 5 more free throws per game.
In the same period, the disadvantage of the Jazz free throws has gone from 1 penalty free per game to 4.7 fewer free throws per game.
Even more amazing is that in the Lakers winning game, they averaged only 1.7 points per game, regardless of the strength of their opponents, they are anxious to the end, and then rely on the key ball to win.
The key is the Lakers player or the referee?
Another interesting fact: The Lakers averaged 18.8% of their scores this year from free throws, ranking fourth in the league. In the past 15 games, this number has grown to 21.6%, ranking first in the league.
This year, the Jazz averaged 17.8% of their scores from free throws, ranking 10th in the league, and in the competition for the playoffs, this number has dropped to 11.9?%? Ranked 30th in the league and the penultimate NBA. One.
In other words, a team that is good at scoring points from the free throw line has become better than any team in the league at the crucial moment of competing for the playoffs. During the same period, a team that was also good at taking points from the free throw line and a competitor to the team above became less good at free throws. EbookFREE.me~ even fell to the bottom of the league.
The 9-15 in the West are Jazz, Hornets, Rockets, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Sun, King.
The Hornets had a chance to make the playoffs, but unfortunately Kaman, Okafor, and West all suffered injuries and left behind halfway.
The first place in the East is the Cavaliers, 58 wins and 24 losses, a disappointing result. Fortunately, the other teams in the East are worse, they can get home advantage in the playoffs.
2-8 are Celtics, Magic, 76ers, Eagles, Bucks, Knicks, Bulls.
The Pacers suffered injuries in the second half and fell behind after leading the Bulls by up to 6 games. The Bulls scored 37 games and reached the playoffs.
However, Brand's state was seriously down, and the trade could not go out. Artest became a pure role player. Only the Derek Rose pick-and-roll bull was destined to go home for the first round of fishing.
The 10-15 are the Raptors, Bobcats, Pistons, Heat, Wizards and Nets.
Durant ranked second in scoring with 27.7 points. Kobe changed his play in the second half to impact the playoffs and started to pass assists to his teammates. The number of assists increased, and the number of points dropped to 27.1 points, ranking second.
Kobe Bryant said in an interview in the second half that he didn't care about the scoring king. He wanted victory, and he succeeded.
The Koshers are also quite surprised. It turns out that this player knows how to play and it is easier to win...
Kevin Love of the Lakers averaged 14.6 rebounds and won the rebounding king, including 4.1 offensive rebounds.
The block king is Jazz's Andrew Bogut, averaging 2.6 times per game.
Paul won the assists and steals, averaging 17.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 13 assists and 2.4 steals. He shot 46.3% from the field, 38.8% from the 3-point range and 87.8% from the free throw line. Steady.
