Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 100 100. The end of the regular season (please subscribe and recommend)
In the last stage of the regular season, the discussion of Richard's best rookie has no heat, as if the dust has settled.

There is really nothing worth discussing.

Richard averaged 19.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. In addition, Buddy Hield scored the most points among rookies in the 16th session, scoring 10.6 points. Brogdon contributed slightly more, averaging 10.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

It was directly thrown by Richard so that the taillights of the car could not be seen.

This draft seems to be a joke at this time, and an undrafted pick has become the best performer.Although there is still one Simmons who did not play, it is estimated that Simmons will not average 20 points per game. What he lacks most is his shooting ability.

I heard that many scouts lost their jobs because of this.

As for the discussion of the best sixth man, it is as hot as the MVP discussion at this time.

Jamal Crawford averaged 17.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Eric Gordon averaged 18.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

Judging from the score, everyone is in the middle of the tie, and Richard has a slight advantage.

But from the perspective of overall contribution, Richard's rebound and assist data is too low, which is also the key to the existence of variables.

Some people support Richard because the scoring average is higher, almost two points per game, and more than 150 points in a season.

Moreover, Richard's performance in his rookie season is even more difficult than that of players who have been struggling for many years.

What's more, Richard averaged less than 20 points per game in the first 10 games, and then gradually improved to sit on the bench, until now he averaged 20 points per game.

If you only count the following games, you can average 22.4 points per game.

22.4 is already the scoring average of a team's leading star, even in some star-studded teams, it is almost the number of the second leading star.

Isn't such a player worthy of the best sixth man?

Reasonable and reasonable!
But those who oppose also have reasons for opposing.

Richard has almost no contribution to the team except shooting. You said that it is better for a player who plays alone without assists. Richard has no assists and rebounds.

Judging from the data alone, Richard is just a turret that can only shoot, and has no other contributions to offense and defense.

It's not in a team's interest at all.

Therefore, it cannot be rated as the best sixth man.

Amidst the chaos, the Thunder challenged the Grizzlies in back-to-back away games on April 4.

The last time the spell was broken back to back, this time the Thunder continued to come to Memphis with great momentum.

The Grizzlies are struggling on the edge of the playoffs. They want to stabilize their playoff qualifications and play very hard and hard.

But at this time, Westbrook was so hot that he exploded, and no one could stop his offense.

I didn't even sweat when I played the Bucks yesterday, but today I happened to sweat the Grizzlies.

25投14中，三分13中8，罚球12中9，砍下45分9篮板10助攻准三双。

Super efficient, Westbrook did the work of a team by himself.

Richard made 20 of 9 shots and scored 22 points.

The Grizzlies were dingy...it was the Thunder who left Memphis haughtily.

Richard and Westbrook are one step closer to receiving corresponding honors.

On April 4, the Thunder continued their final road trip of the season and came to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

Consecutive away games at the end of the season are very difficult for the playoff teams. Only two days after the end of the regular season, the playoffs will start immediately, and they will continue to fight against different venues outside.

But the schedule is randomly arranged, and you can't say that the league is unfair, you can only rely on the players to overcome it.

Against the Suns, the big team suddenly turned around.

Since Booker scored 3 points against the Celtics on March 25, which has become the highest score in the league, his confidence is bursting.

It has also been hyped by various media as the next superstar.

But in that game, the Suns still allowed Booker to score points during garbage time, and all the shots were handed over to Booker, which made many fans disdain.

There is nothing to say about this. Being able to score is a kind of ability. Whether the gold content is enough will not leave traces in the end. Only the result of 70 points will be remembered forever.

Therefore, Booker played better and better in the subsequent games. When the player has confidence, his handling of the ball and reaction will be greatly improved, because the concentration is enough.

It is very similar to Richard's zoom.

But Booker definitely doesn't have such ability, because although he is focused, he is not brave enough.

Without further ado, back to the game, Booker took 29 shots and scored 37 points under the condition that he also had unlimited fire rights.

Led the Suns to victory.

To say that the Suns really won't play poorly, last time the digital people looked to win and quickly replaced players in good condition, and finally lost to the Thunder.

Fortunately, the Suns not only did not replace Booker, but also let him continue to attack with the ball. This time they won the game and the No. [-] pick was gone.

威斯布鲁克本场表现一般，18投7中得到23分12篮板8助攻。

When the hit rate was not good, Richard took the right to shoot, just like the two agreed.

Richard scored 23 points on 10-for-26 shooting.

Overwhelmed by Booker.

At the end of the game, the leaderboards of the two shook again.

On April 4th, continue the away game and come to Denver to challenge the Nuggets.

The Nuggets have no hope of the playoffs, so they started training. Jokic and Murray not only started, but also played the whole game. Even if Murray only scored 38 points in 6 minutes, so what, the core of the team is to train well.

威斯布鲁克一扫颓废，重新拾起投篮技能包，32投17中，罚球11全中砍下50分16篮板10助攻的大号三双。

When Westbrook didn't play well, he could be superb when he summed up.

Just like the Saiyans, they can improve their strength by rescuing them from dying.

Richard only scored 15 points on 6 of 17 shots.

On April 4, the Thunder continued their away game against the Timberwolves. Before the game, Donovan wanted to rest Westbrook so that the playoffs would officially start a week later, but was rejected by Westbrook.

"The team needs me, we are still fighting for the qualifying, every game is critical." Westbrook replied to Donovan in this way.

But Richard knocked Westbrook hard. The importance of the playoffs has already been said, so why don't you listen?What if I get hurt?
Of course, the Timberwolves were easily won.

威斯布鲁克再次拿到32分13篮板10助攻的三双。李察德22投8中拿下21分。

Efficiency has declined somewhat.

It shouldn't be a problem, right?

On April 4, the Thunder played the last game of the season back to back at home.

The opponent is the Denver Nuggets.

Because the Thunder and the Clippers have the same records, they must win the last game, otherwise the gap in the last game will change the rankings.

The iron man Westbrook played too hard in front of him, and yesterday's rotation may be relieved, but because there was no rotation, Westbrook's leg muscles were sore and he played with a hidden injury.

It's just for a home court advantage. The opponent in the playoffs has been determined to be the Clippers. It is nothing more than that the Thunder No. 4 can have 4 home games and play home games first, while the Clippers No. 4 Thunder only have 3 home games and play away games first.

Richard once again advised Westbrook, but was still rejected.

The last game was extremely intense. The Nuggets didn't know what it was for, and they played desperately. It didn't look like a team that was definitely not qualified for the playoffs.

The Thunder players sleepwalked for half the game before they realized that the Nuggets were messing around!
At this time, Westbrook lasted half the time alone, and of course Richard.

Under the restraint of the two, the Nuggets did not widen the score very much, only leading by 10 points at halftime.

For the thunderous Thunder, chasing 10 points is still no problem.

In the second half, under the leadership of Westbrook, the Thunder rallied to catch up and finally evened the score at the end of the third quarter.

But Westbrook was also cramping from too much running and already sore, and had to sit and rest off the court.

At this time, if the Nuggets lead the score again, Westbrook will definitely play, and then forcefully drag his legs to play, which will definitely lead to more serious injuries.

Under Donovan's tactical arrangement, Richard and the substitute players worked hard.

Once again, the team spirit and culture of the Thunder were brought out.Keep the slight lead until the end.

In the last minute, Westbrook, who had enough rest, reappeared and killed the game with a quick counterattack layup that no one could keep up with.

The Nuggets lost 4 points in the end, regrettably ending their season.

The Thunder ended their arduous 16-17 season with honor.

From almost nothing, to reaching the playoffs, and then ranking firmly in the top half, every player has put in a lot of hard work.

Whether it is a rookie or a veteran, whether it is a coach or a player, whether it is traded away or on standby, for them, this season is unforgettable.

威斯布鲁克本场比赛拿到了18分6篮板8助攻。最终场均拿到31.9分10.8篮板10.2助攻。

Becoming the second player in NBA history to average a triple-double per game, Westbrook has scored 42 triple-doubles this season.

Richard scored 20 points on 8-of-22 shooting.

As a rookie, Richard averaged 20.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

The best rookie is gone, and whether the best sixth man can be won depends on the votes of the media.

The same goes for Westbrook's MVP.

雷霆53胜29负排名西部第四，快船52胜30负排名第五，两队将于4月16日开始进行季后赛第一轮比拼。

The season is over, and the players are on the court, receiving blessings and thanks from the fans.

Everyone waved their hands high, and the fans shouted "MVP" loudly, dedicating their love to their teams and favorite players.

Ribbons burst from the air and fell on every corner, as if the team had won the championship.

But after watching the 16-17 season in its entirety, the Thunder deserve such a celebration. They did not fall, but were reborn from the ashes!
