Chapter 870: 372. The regular season has come to an end, and the youngest Scoring King in history is born!_4

What made him even happier was that he maintained a 40%+ three-point shooting rate until the end of the season!

Including the last two games, his total three-point attempts for the season reached 496, exactly hitting 200 shots, with a shooting percentage of 40.1%, making him the first player in team history to hit 200 three-pointers in a single season.

The best three-point shooter on their team is naturally Mike Miller, but Zhang San took more shots.

Mike Miller played in 76 games this season, achieving a 52% field goal percentage and a 44.7% three-point shooting percentage, both career highs, though his average of 9.4 shots per game is a career low. He averaged 4.7 three-point attempts, hitting 2.1 shots, which is tenth in the league for made threes and second in percentage.

As for first place... Zhang Yang gulped when he saw TNT’s three-point standings—Nash with a 47% three-point percentage, averaging 2.2 made threes per game.

However, Nash’s overall shooting percentage was dragged down in the latter half of the season, ’only’ remaining at 50.6%, significantly lower than the previous season’s 53.4%.

Zhang San remembered Mr. Nash had a shooting percentage of 54.6% before the All-Star break, a career high, but the ’upward trend’ was wiped out by Steve Kerr.

With a 50.6% shooting percentage, 47% three-point percentage, and 90.6% free throw percentage, in Nash’s most peak season performance, the team’s record only achieved fifth in the West, which Zhang Yang found regrettable, wondering if they could surpass the Jazz Team hurdle.

Looking at Nash’s inflated shooting percentages in the 180 club, Zhang Yang compared them to his own 47.9%+40.1%+87.3%, which was already boosted by the system; otherwise, both scoring and percentage would drop down a notch. A player’s career is endless, and the effort never stops!

In terms of rebounds, Howard began his dominance, averaging 14.2 boards, far ahead of Camby’s 13.1 boards and Duncan’s 12 boards.

Okafor also made the list, averaging 10.6 boards, tied for seventh in the league with Ben Wallace.

Okafor played 80 games, averaging 16.1 points, 10.6 boards, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals, and 2.1 blocks; Felton played 60 games, averaging 17.1 points, 3 boards, 5.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. Both performed excellently as the second and third leaders on the court.

Odom averaging 10.8 boards ranked sixth in the league, which made Zhang Yang feel very peculiar. With this player, no data achievement is surprising.

Regarding assists, Zhang San felt sorry for Mr. Nash, originally firmly first, now slipping to a season-end average of 11.1 assists, with Paul at an average of 11.8 assists, winning his first assist title.

Zhang Yang and Paul topped their respective fields, prompting Barkley to exclaim: "Number 3 is the greatest number in the history of the NBA."

He didn’t mention that person by name, but Zhang Yang thought of that person upon hearing it...

On the blocks ranking, it’s still Camby’s world, leading with 3.6 blocks per game. Kirilenko’s successive injuries affected his athleticism, and with Ratliff aging, no one can contest Camby for the blocks title.

On the steals ranking, Paul topped the chart, with an average of 2.7 steals, defeating Artest’s 2.5 steals per game.

The last topic about players on the TV was predictions for various awards.

The MVP prediction centered around two players, Kobe and Paul, and since Kobe defeated Paul in their head-to-head in the third-to-last game, the victory balance shifted towards Kobe.

For Best Defensive Player, Best Sixth Man, and Rookie of the Year, there wasn’t much suspense...

After player topics concluded, it came to the analysis of playoff matchups, starting with the regular season rankings.

The Miami Heat proudly held the league’s last place with a record of 13-69.

Barkley commented on the Miami Heat: "I can’t imagine how they managed it; even with their eyes closed, the Heat wouldn’t have such a bad record."

Apart from the Miami Heat, this year’s bottom four in the East and bottom five in the West set new lows.

The SuperSonics Team, second to last in the league and last in the West, had only 16 wins.

The West’s second to last Clippers team had only 19 wins, and the third-to-last Timberwolves had 20 wins.

Over in the East, the Knicks Team had 18 wins, and the Bucks had 19 wins, both not reaching 20 wins.

The Celtics, who tried hard to tank, had a 24-58 record. Last season, they were last in the East and second to last in the league with the same record, yet this time they only ended up seventh to last...

This situation arose because the records of the top nine in the West and top three in the East were too good.

In the West: The Lakers had 66 wins and 16 losses in first place, Spurs 55 wins and 27 losses in second, Hornets 54 wins and 28 losses in third, Jazz Team 53 wins and 29 losses in fourth, Phoenix Suns 54 wins and 28 losses but ranked fifth due to head-to-head records against the Hornets and not being division leaders, Warriors 52 wins and 30 losses in sixth, Mavericks 51 wins and 31 losses in seventh, Nuggets Team 51 wins and 31 losses in eighth, with the Grizzlies 50 wins and 32 losses missing the playoffs.

In the East: Chicago Bulls 68 wins and 14 losses in first place, Bobcats 61 wins and 21 losses in second, Pistons 59 wins and 23 losses in third, Magic Team 49 wins and 33 losses in fourth, Cavaliers 45 wins and 37 losses in fifth, Wizards 44 wins and 38 losses in sixth, Hawks team 43 wins and 39 losses in seventh, Toronto Raptors 40 wins and 42 losses in eighth.

Rarely did the East’s top three perform better than the West’s top three, especially the second and third, whose records were much better, primarily due to the ’infighting’ of the West’s top nine.

The Grizzlies with 50 wins and 32 losses didn’t make the playoffs, prompting Barkley to curse.

He also lamented that without McGrady getting injured, the West’s situation would have been more intense, with all top nine teams potentially dropping 1-2 wins. The Rockets, under Thibodeau’s leadership, performed fiercely in the early season.

Kenny Smith commented on such a record situation: "The Spurs, Hornets, and Jazz Team could achieve the same records as the Bobcats and Pistons if they were in the East."

Even Barkley, who usually loves to argue, had no objections to this statement.

Kenny Smith asked Barkley which teams impressed him the most this season, and Barkley mentioned four teams, with the Bobcats among them; the other three were the Hornets, Warriors, and Hawks team.

These four teams exceeded preseason expectations, even far beyond them.

The Warriors and Hawks team achieved it through trades.

After Artest joined the Warriors, aiming to secure a renewal contract or attract decent salary offers when his contract ended in 2009, he played with exceptional effort, eager to prove himself, and single-handedly carried the Warriors into the playoffs, even ranking sixth.

The Hawks team was more straightforward, trading away two-thirds of their accumulated talent over the years, leaving only the truly remarkable Horford, and bringing in Pierce and Bibby, forming an external trio that caused headaches for Kidd and Kobe, rising from third to last in the East and fifth to last in the league to secure seventh in the East one game early.

The Bobcats and Hornets were completely different from these two teams. The Bobcats also had a major trade, but even before the trade, they had already impressed people, dominating the East and West early in the season, with Charlotte basketball fans even shouting "NBA belongs to Charlotte."

Coincidentally, these four teams that most impressed Barkley are about to face off in the first round...

When it came to analyzing the playoff matchups, Barkley didn’t act up or argue, but analyzed everything clearly and humorously, leaving the three brothers in front of the TV amazed.

About the matchups of his four favorite teams, he said: "I don’t think the Bobcats and Hornets are sure to win. Although I love number 3, the Hornets and Warriors, although one is third and the other sixth, their record difference is actually very small, just two wins apart, and their strength is very close.

The Hawks team has become a very formidable team, and they will cause a lot of trouble for the Bobcats. Even though the Bobcats have championship experience, they are still too young, but this makes me even more excited for the Bobcats vs. Hawks team series.

The first, second, seventh, and eighth in the East—the question remains: can the Chicago Bulls and Bobcats survive to the end in this animal world battle? "
