One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-Four. The Craziest Season
"... I just want 73 wins, otherwise it will be too difficult for people to break the record in the future. It's a pity that I gave him a chance, but no one can play..."
This sentence in the post-match interview quickly became popular in the sports world!
Sun Ce broke Jordan's 72 wins, which is not only a new myth in the basketball world, but also has a huge influence in the entire sports world.
The reason why Jordan is called the God of Basketball is not only because of his strength in basketball itself and his achievements in the field of basketball, but also because he promoted the sport of basketball to the world.
The 72 wins in the regular season he set have always been a big scene that people talk about. Before the Big Three of James, Wade and Pogba won 70 wins, 72 wins was a unique single-season 70+ wins.
Now, Sun Ce led the Grizzlies to create an even more terrifying record with a super-large lead!
Sports competition cannot be compared across sports, and even leagues of different levels in the same sport cannot be compared. In the NBA, the highest stage of basketball, ending the 82-game regular season with a winning rate of 91.4%, this can only be described as crazy! As long as you know a little about the NBA, you will know how exaggerated 75 wins are!
What makes sports fans even crazier is that Sun Ce played 80 games and won 73 of them... That is, he broke Jordan's personal single-season win record, excluding the two games he won during rest!
Due to possible rest, injuries, etc., many players on the Grizzlies and the Bulls did not get the highest number of wins for the team. Comparing Jordan, who played 82 games in the 72-win season, with Sun Ce, who played 80 games in the 75-win season, Sun Ce played two fewer games and also broke the record for the number of games a player won in a single season!
After Sun Ce's answer to the interview after the game was leaked, another joke was put on Sun Ce - regret for taking 75 wins Noah Sun!
The game between the Grizzlies and the Thunder is the penultimate game tonight, and there are two other games at the same time, but the Grizzlies' regular season is over, and people are no longer interested in other games in the regular season. They just need to wait until all the games are over to see the rankings.
NBA fans all over the world are focused on the Grizzlies, and naturally on Sun Ce!
In the past two weeks, Sun Ce won the Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks, and won all the games in the last week. In addition, he scored a super triple-double of 64 points, 11 rebounds and 12 steals in the last game!
This is Sun Ce's 10th single-game 40+ this season, the third single-game 50+, and the second single-game 60+!
At the same time,
this is also Sun Ce's 10th triple-double this season!
Originally, people thought that Sun Ce would break at least 10 single-game 40+ for three consecutive years, and might also break at least 10 triple-doubles in a single season for five consecutive years. Before this game, Sun Ce's two statistics were 9 times. Unexpectedly, in the last game against such a strong enemy as the Thunder, with the Thunder's offense and defense playing so well, Sun Ce actually broke the record at the same time!
In addition, after this game, Sun Ce has scored more than 60+ more than once in a single season for three consecutive years, and the number of single-game 60+ has increased to 10 times! The number of single-game 50+ has also increased to 19 times!
In addition, Sun Ce's triple-double this time was actually a steal triple-double! 12 steals in a single game set a new NBA record for steals in a single game!
The previous record for steals in a single game was 11 steals in a single game held by former Spurs star Larry Kennon in the 1976-1977 season and former Nets star Kendall Gill in the 1998-1999 season, which was broken by Sun Ce on the last day of the 2014-2015 regular season!
There is almost no suspense. Everyone thinks that Sun Ce can win the Western Conference Player of the Week in the last game week of the regular season this season. The Grizzlies, who had 21 wins and 2 losses in 23 games in March and the first half of April, ranked first in the league during this period and won a 13-game winning streak. This is the second "enhanced" Player of the Month of the season. Everyone knows that there is no suspense. Sun Ce will win the Player of the Month for five consecutive game months with his dominating performance this season!
Some experts joked that the league reduced the number of Player of the Month in a single season to five times in order to prevent Sun Ce from breaking James' record of five Player of the Month in a single season, so that American basketball players can retain a trace of dignity.
Since Sun Ce entered the NBA, he has broken those records that were considered unbreakable one after another, and those that have not been broken seem to be on the way.
But no one thinks it is wrong. Records are meant to be broken. Competitive sports are like this. Before Magic Johnson appeared, no one had ever thought that there would be such a player. If he had not been forced to retire due to AIDS, Magic Johnson could be called the most perfect player in basketball. Before Jordan broke Chamberlain's record of 7 consecutive seasons as the scoring champion, no one thought that Chamberlain's record of 7 consecutive seasons as the scoring champion would be broken. Before O'Neal appeared, no one had ever thought that a fat man weighing more than 140 kilograms could play tricks... When they appeared, people's reaction was not "How is this possible", but - it's awesome!
Just like Sun Ce's last game, it was simply too exaggerated. He had 12 steals in a single game. These 12 steals allowed Sun Ce to score 21 points, which allowed Sun Ce to score 64 points in the regular offense and defense rounds, scoring 43 points, and scored the third 60+ triple-double in the regular season of his career! This record created by Sun Ce has become more difficult to break!
In the more than 60 years before Sun Ce scored his first 60+ triple-double, no one in the NBA had ever completed a 60+ triple-double!
And this game directly raised Sun Ce's efficiency value from 32.7 to 32.8! Far exceeding Chamberlain's highest single-season efficiency of 31.8 in the season with an average of 50+.
Of course, it also exceeded the second highest single-season efficiency of 31.7 set by Jordan, the first person in NBA history to win MVP+DPOY at the same time in the 1987-1988 season, and the third highest single-season efficiency of 31.6 set by James in the 2012-2013 season.
Playing in 80 games, averaging 34.5 minutes per game, the lowest since his rookie year, and playing the highest efficiency in NBA history with a new low in playing time since he started, Sun Ce's performance is naturally terrifying.
Averaged 31.4 points, 12.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 3.2 blocks, and 2.7 steals per game. Due to the short playing time in most games, Sun Ce was ridiculously efficient in many games, often playing for 25 or 26 minutes and scoring 25 or 26 points. In 80 games, he scored 20+ points 75 times, which is the second highest in his career, and 59 games were 30+, which set a new career record.
In addition, the number of turnovers and fouls has also decreased compared to the past. This season, he averaged 2.6 turnovers per game, tying his second lowest single-season average turnovers in his career, and 3 fouls per game was also the second lowest since his rookie year.
The key is the hit rate!
In 80 games, Sun Ce's average hit rate this season was 51%, breaking 50% for the first time in his career! The three-point hit rate also maintained a 40% hit rate, averaging 3.4 three-pointers per game, surpassing Klay Thompson to rank second in the league, and the free throw hit rate also increased to 83%.
Although he failed to continue the performance of averaging 4+ three-pointers in the past two seasons, in terms of efficiency and stability, he is far better than the past two seasons!
This season's regular season performance of the Grizzlies is the best in history, and Sun Ce's performance can also be regarded as the strongest in the history of a single regular season! It is almost impossible to replicate the performance!
Is there a follower? I don't know, just like Jordan and James failed to break Chamberlain's record, no one could have thought that someone could break Chamberlain's strongest season in history 50 years later.
Even whether Sun Ce himself has a chance to break it... This is also hard to say, first is first!
When the game between Sun Ce and Durant ended, there was no situation where Sun Ce scored 0 points and Durant scored 81 points, such as Durant's ultimate invincible comeback and rushed to the scoring throne. The situation with a probability infinitely close to 0 did not appear, which means that all the data kings have been released!
In addition to discussing Sun Ce's personal performance, fans are also discussing this matter that is directly related to Sun Ce.
In the scoring list, Sun Ce ranked first with an average of 31.4 points per game, and Durant ranked second with an average of 30.2 points per game. Sun Ce won the scoring champion of this season!
In the rebounding list, Drummond ranked first with an average of 15.7 rebounds per game, and Jordan ranked second with an average of 15.2 rebounds per game. Drummond won the rebounding title this season.
In the assist list, James ranked first with an average of 11.2 assists per game, Rose ranked second with an average of 11 assists per game, and Westbrook ranked third with an average of 10.8 assists per game. James won the assist title this season.
In the steal list, Sun Ce ranked first with an average of 2.7 steals per game, and Leonard ranked second with an average of 2.5 steals per game. Sun Ce won the steal title this season.
In the block list, Sun Ce ranked first with an average of 3.2 blocks per game, Anthony Davis ranked second with an average of 3 blocks per game, and Whiteside ranked third with an average of 2.8 blocks per game. Sun Ce won the block title this season...
In terms of turnover king, Westbrook, who averaged a triple-double for two consecutive seasons, set a new record with an average of 4.5 turnovers per game.
Foul king, this Cousins dominates, he played 60 games this season, 10 games had 6 fouls and left the field, averaging 4.1 fouls per game, how outrageous is it, it is worth mentioning that his average turnovers per game reached 4.4, almost saving Westbrook.
Compared with Sun Ce's efficiency... the data king, the fans think it's awesome!
Sun Ce became the first player in NBA history to win both the steals king and the blocks king! And he won them at the same time!
Although this is not a "record", it is worth being hotly discussed by fans!
So far, Sun Ce has won the five positive data kings in basketball games, including scoring king, rebounding king, blocks king, and steals king!
As the only player on the Grizzlies who averaged more than 20 points per game, as the team's scoring king, rebounding king, blocks king, steals king, and assists second, Sun Ce played such a performance and such efficiency, and no one really thought there was anything wrong.
75 wins, 32.8 season efficiency, first in three rankings... If Sun Ce was a strong contender for the No. 1 player in the league last season, then this season, the call for Sun Ce to be the No. 1 player has become even higher!
Now, fans can't wait to see the Grizzlies' playoffs starting on the 20th. Can he become the undisputed No. 1 player in the league like O'Neal did back then? It all depends on the playoffs! Otherwise, he can only continue to be the "quasi-No. 1 player in the league" like James in the 2012-13 season and Sun himself last season!
