Screw up, we're not the same
For an NBA team, a mess means giving up, giving up chasing a championship, giving up the joy of winning, and for a player, it means indulging. In such a team, you can unleash your talents wantonly, do not need to be careful in each round, of course, this means that you may be able to get good data, but the hit rate and the number of turnovers, will not be too good, naturally, the All-Star and you, there will be no half-relationship. At the Spurs, though, there are exceptions.
The San Antonio Spurs are indeed in a bad mood, but this team's swing is different from the Rockets and Thunder and the Magic Pistons. The Spurs still maintain the league's number one average of assists per game, which means that every time they attack, popovich's tactics are strictly enforced, and the team's star, Dezhangtai Murray, has also entered the All-Star.
The first record in history
The twelfth record in the West, to be able to produce an All-Star, is really incredible, and what is even more incredible is that this player is still from the first round of 29 picks, and he was not optimistic about everyone when he was drafted, but it is such a player, under popovich's teaching, but to the current height, and in the past two games, he has created a record of the first in history: two consecutive games, at least 30 points and 10 assists, and the number of mistakes is not more than 1.
After the Spurs traded derrick White, Murray faced the Atlanta Hawks with 32 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals and 1 turnover, and against the Portland Trail Blazers, 31 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover, two consecutive games, playing a superstar-level performance. In fact, in the last four games, Murray has delivered a total of 47 assists and only 5 turnovers. Ginobili can't help but sigh: amazing back-to-back performance.
30 points in a single game is not easy, clay after the comeback, facing the Lakers to get the first 30 points of the season, excitedly said that in this league, there are not many players who can get 30 points. So while getting 30 points, it is undoubtedly more difficult to deliver 10 assists, coupled with the condition of 2 consecutive games, perhaps only players such as Doncic and Trae Young, as well as Harden Curry James can do it. There are not many players who can do this data, but there are not many, but with no more than one mistake, that is, it is rare.
Since the start of the 1977-1978 season, Murray is the only player to have scored 30 points and 10 assists in two consecutive games and made fewer turnovers than one. From here, it can be seen that Murray's selection as an All-Star is indeed well deserved.
Not Wei Shao, but Paul
Early in his career, Murray was known for his defense, and putting aside the defense, everyone felt that he would move in the direction of Westbrook. The shooting ability is bad, with excellent arm span, the ability to finish under the basket is excellent, but the playing style is reckless and there are more mistakes. However, after returning from a major injury, Murray successfully upgraded, the mid-range jump shot became a killer, the play was calm, the defense was as good as ever, the average number of steals per game was the first in the league, the average number of assists per game also came to the fourth position in the league, and only 2.4 turnovers. Today, Murray seems to be chasing chris Paul's footsteps.
So far this season, Murray has averaged 20.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game, 11 triple-doubles of the season, second in the league, behind Jokic, and 15 career triple-doubles, the first in Spurs history.
Other teams are messing up, that's really messing up, but in the San Antonio Spurs, Popovich has cultivated an All-Star, and I have to say, it's really God. So is there any shortcoming in Murray? Of course, although he practiced the middle distance, Murray's three-point shooting rate was only 32.0%, which is indeed not enough for this era. With a stable mid-range, if the three-point shooting rate can reach about 38%, then there is definitely a chance to step from all-star to the ranks of superstars.
