Chapter 411 411. Long way to go

After the Christmas game, the Lakers' schedule really started to get difficult.

It can be seen from the back-to-back against the Mavericks on the second day of the Christmas game.

But fortunately, Rondo's trading medical examination procedures are not over yet, because Rondo did not go to Dallas on the day he was traded on Christmas, but spent Christmas with his family at home in Boston, although he arrived on the day of the game against the Lakers In Dallas, the Mavericks submitted the report of passing the physical examination to the league in the afternoon, but it took 6 to 12 hours to review the procedure. The efficiency of the league is sometimes very fast, and sometimes it is too slow.

Just like now, the All-Star voting has started, and it is very troublesome to count the votes. The Christmas game has just ended, and it is very troublesome to count the ratings and other things, so until the end of the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks, Rondo joined The notification that the Mavericks transaction was officially approved was issued.

Even without Rondo, Nelson and Crowder are still there. According to the overall lineup of the Mavericks, they can still compete with the Lakers. Coach Carlisle has a strong coaching ability. This year, the Mavericks have the hope of making the playoffs , played very hard.

But the deal was not officially approved. The Mavericks' best point guard was JJ Barea. In the third quarter, LaVine and Clarkson both played him.

So Liu Ren began to worry about his scoring average again. He scored 22 points in a little over half of the game today, and then he never played again.

In fact, the point difference between the Lakers and the Mavericks is not very big, and they only won by 9 points in the end, but the young players of the Lakers are getting more and more stable!
After Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, Jeremy Lin, and Green were all off the court, the more mature Clarkson, who was originally the first team of the All-Rookie Team this season, blasted the Mavericks backcourt. Antetokounmpo and White Seid's inside lineup was just as good against Nowitzki and Chandler, and there were players like Korver and Nick Young to help him. He was stunned to compete with the Mavericks' main lineup without the presence of the starters. In the end, Relying on the 10-point advantage played by the starting lineup, this advantage was maintained until the end.

In the end, the Lakers won two consecutive victories back to back, improving their record to 27 wins and 3 losses, and continued to rank first in the league.

Next, on the 29th and 30th, the Lakers first challenged the Suns away and returned to Los Angeles to face the Nuggets at home. There were no accidents in these two games. The Lakers both won and won 4 consecutive victories.

The Suns players' eyes were redder than before, because Ajiali and Abby hadn't appeared in Phoenix for more than a month, and then they saw Abby's figure from Time Warner's Los Angeles Sports TV, and also asked about Ajiali's presence in the game. News of the purchase of real estate in Foley Hills.

That's pretty cool!

Then Liu Ren was crazy double-teamed in the game against the Suns. This time Liu Ren didn't give up, turned into a wild shot, scored 35 points on 10 of 31 shots, and helped the Lakers beat the Suns 109-95.

Whiteside, Green, Antetokounmpo and others were so happy that they frantically brushed rebounds and dunked the second offense on the heads of the short Suns insider Morris Brothers.

The only remaining star point guard of the Suns, Bledsoe, has become much stronger without the two competitors of Thomas Jr. and Dragic, and has returned to the level of a first-class player averaging 20+5+5 per game , The offense of the Suns has also improved a lot. Unlike before, the three point guards take turns to control the ball. The players must be ready to change positions at any time to meet the style of the point guard.

However, there is a gap in strength. The Suns coach Hornacek saw that the players defended Liu Ren regardless of others, and did not say anything.

Moreover, Hornacek's most beloved daughter went to Los Angeles. Although his father didn't say anything, he was very dissatisfied with Liu Renna in his heart.

Hornacek is actually very optimistic about Liu Ren, but he thinks that his daughter has been kidnapped, and the man who kidnapped his daughter has not spoken to him formally. What he is dissatisfied with is actually...

No. 30's back-to-back match with the Nuggets and the Suns is not suspenseful. The Suns' offense has become more organized after the point guard position has been straightened out.

After Brian Shaw was fired, the Nuggets had no tactics at all. Their interim head coach, Mason Spotts, has never been heard of by many fans. As a decoration, the Nuggets have Lawson, the point guard, directing everything on the court every game.

Lawson's organizational ability is still good, and his scoring is also good. He averaged 17 points and 10.3 assists per game, ranking third in the assist list, second only to Wall with 10.5 assists and Rondo with 10.9 assists, even more than Paul. to be tall.

It's just that except for Lawson's own score and Lawson's assists to help his teammates score, other times the Nuggets only have singles and then singles and counterattacks after the opponent fails to make a shot.

When facing the Nuggets, the Lakers used two tactics, cutting off the connection between Lawson and his teammates, taking more inside shots on the offensive end, and defeating the Nuggets without giving the opponent a long rebound to counterattack.

这场比赛刘仁差点哭了，他终于再一次拿到40+得分，上场34分钟27投18中拿到42分8板5盖帽，帮助湖人以113比90狂胜掘金，终于将已经掉落到场均33分的得分稳定下来，没有继续往下掉。

But Liu Ren doesn't need to worry too much about the scoring list for a while.

Durant averaged 20 points per game in the previous 31.9 games, which was about the same as his scoring champion last season, which put a lot of pressure on Liu Ren, whose scoring average has been declining.

But Durant will be injured for four months, which means that the playoffs are about to start when he comes back, not to mention whether the Thunder, which has lost seven games in a row and fell to eighth in the Western Conference, will have a chance to make the playoffs anyway. Nine out of ten Durant will not be able to meet the requirements of the scoring champion. Even if Liu Ren's average score per game is lower than 31.9, as long as he is higher than the rest of the league, Liu Ren can still win the scoring champion.

The NBA stats leader is not just about high average stats. If a player scores 55 points in the first game and is immediately reimbursed for the season, he will not be able to win the scoring leader. Otherwise, Chamberlain's 50 points per game may have passed away long ago. This situation is not impossible.

The previous old rule was that the number of appearances in a single season exceeded 70.00% of the season schedule five, or the data of that competition data king reached a certain total number, to be included in the ranking of average data per game, specifically 1400 points in total points and 800 rebounds in total , total assists are 400, total blocks and total steals are 100 etc...

This is why Rondo was able to win the scoring title in only 12 games in the 13-38 season, because his total assists in that season just exceeded 400 a little bit.

But now the new rules are much more difficult. Even if Durant comes back a month early to score more than 1400 points, it will be useless.

The new rule is that the number of appearances in a single season must reach 70.00% of the schedule. According to the normal 82 games, that is, more than 58 games, have a chance to enter the data rankings.

The only exception to this rule is: If a player does not meet the minimum total number of appearances, but his total data is divided by 58 games and still exceeds the average data of other players, then he can be listed in the classification data Top of the leaderboard.

This rule was only changed after Rondo won the 12-13 season in assists, and was dubbed the Rondo Rule by fans.

This season's NBA schedule has only been going on for two months, and Durant is still on the scoring average list. He has played less than 70.00% of the games and averaged 70.00% of the games than other top ten players. When it is low, his ranking will disappear in the top ten scoring list.

There are only two players in the league averaging more than 30 points per game, one is Liu Ren and the other is Durant.

Ranked third is Harden of the Rockets, averaging 26 points per game, fourth is James of the Cavaliers, averaging 25.2 points per game, and fifth is Westbrook of the Thunder, whose scoring data soared during the seven-game losing streak. Averaging 29 points per game will increase the season scoring average to 25 points per game.

These are the only five players in the league averaging more than 25 points per game.

Curry in sixth has 24.6 points, Cousins ​​in seventh has 24.1 points, Anthony Davis in eighth has 24 points, Anthony in ninth has 22 points, and there are just a lot of them in tenth, Griffin, Irving , Aldridge, Klay Thompson, Kobe... several averaged 21.9 points per game.

Although he is a little obsessed with the scoring champion, Liu Ren still knows that the game needs to be played one game at a time, and he can't be too impatient, because he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and there are still four months of the regular season, and the time is still long.

And for Liu Ren, there is another goal, which is to break the record of the Bulls when he joked with his teammates.

Don't look at the Lakers' record of 29 wins and 3 losses after a wave of four consecutive victories, they look very strong.

实际上这全靠11月份全胜的战绩才看起来那么好看，12月份湖人队13胜3负，单单这个月的战绩就有三支球队和湖人队一样，老鹰、勇士、尼克斯这个月都是13胜3负。

只是老鹰队11月的比赛月战绩12胜5负，勇士12胜4负、尼克斯11胜5负，才导致湖人队领先那么多。

现在的战绩排行榜湖人队以29胜3负排在第一，勇士25胜7负排在第二，老鹰25胜8负排在第三，尼克斯25胜8负排在第四，火箭24胜8负排在第五，快船24胜9负排在第六，猛龙22胜10负排在第七，骑士和灰熊都是20胜12负排在第八。

These are the teams with more than 20 wins.

The Lakers' seemingly brutal record is actually only four games fewer than the Warriors.

Liu Ren became calmer when he saw the record. If he wants to break the Bulls record, it is not enough to rely on performance like December. If the next four months of the regular season are like performance in December, it is far from being able to break. Bull records!
Everything still has a long way to go, whether it is the scoring leader or the historical record leader!
