At present, some media have counted the first place in the sum of the NBA's new season's data, let's take a look at it together.
The Bulls signed All-Star guard DeRozan to top the league with 633 points in the summer, and the former King of the North seems to have regained his life after returning to the East. He is currently averaging 26.4 points (fourth in the league), 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 35.3 minutes of playing time. The former nightmare James has already traveled west to Los Angeles, his and Lavin's new backcourt double gun fire is extremely fierce, and in yesterday's East top game with the Nets, DeRozan also scored 29 points to beat Durant.
Coming to the thirteenth season of the league, deRozan's heart to chase the championship is urgent, but he also knows that his ability is not only to do the championship puzzle of other big teams, he can rely on his own strength to improve the team by several levels. This season's Bulls have deteriorated badly on both ends of Vucevic's offensive and defensive ends, and Ball's decent performance is that DeRozan helped Ravine to bring the team to the heights it is today, before the start of the season everyone only thought they were a team that could make the playoffs, and now we may as well raise this goal a little higher, because they have a strong new signing - DeRozan.
French "tall tower" Rudi Gobert has grabbed 317 rebounds so far, 216 height, ultra-long arm span, giving him a unique advantage on the defensive end. Although scoring is not his strong point, defense is the foundation of his life in the league. Currently, Gobert is averaging 14.9 points, 14.7 rebounds (also first in the league) and 2.3 blocks (fourth in the league) in 31.9 minutes per game. The Jazz are also temporarily in third place in the West with a record of 16 wins and 7 losses under him and Mitchell.
The Suns have the longest 18-game winning streak in franchise history this season, and Paul's performance is definitely a great achievement. At present, he not only ranks first in the league in total assists, but also averages 10.1 assists per game. The 36-year-old veteran can be described as the older the demon, looking at the entire career from the beginning of the Hornets to the later Clippers, Thunder and now the Suns and other teams, he can always rely on his own ability to lead his teammates, greatly improve the team's record, although always close to the Western Conference Finals or the championship so close to the door, but once owned the São Paulo team I believe they will not regret!
The Pacers' record is worse than a year, even if the summer recruits championship coach Carlisle to no avail, Sabonis Jr., although he entered the All-Star last season, does not seem to be able to lead the team to any breakthrough in the record. Still, Miles Turner's performance is commendable, as he is number one on both the total block and averages (2.8 per game) this season, in addition to a decent three-point shooting. So far this season, he has hit 1.9 of 4.6 shots per game on the perimeter, shooting a career-high 40.5 percent from three-point range. Having a defense and being able to open up space may be one of the reasons why he has been able to frequently "gossip" with the Warriors recently.
Another important signing for the Bulls in the summer is to get Caruso from the Lakers, the new signing is not only the core player in the Bulls' bench lineup, but also the tip of the entire team's outside defense, no wonder some fans will jokingly call "lakers production, must be a boutique." Caruso has averaged 2.2 steals per game in less than 30 minutes of playing time this season, and his contribution to the overall defensive improvement of the team is clear. It is also because of his departure from Pope this season that the Lakers' defense has fallen off a cliff.
Harden's performance this season has somewhat disappointed the fans who love him, especially in those focused games of strong confrontation. His scoring average this season is a new low in nearly a decade, but considering that his ball has not been diluted by other players, but because Irving's strikes have increased relatively, it can only be explained as his own state decline. And the 111 turnovers in the league this season (averaging 4.8 turnovers per game are also the first) also reflects his poor form and low morale on the other hand, knowing that Durant is the one who has won the championship, and he still gives his all on the field. If Harden is really in a state decline, then at least ask him to improve his personal morale and reduce some unnecessary mistakes to help the team.
