On March 29, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the league officially announced the best player in the East and West departments last week, and also announced the latest issue of the strength list. Among them, Tatum and Booker were selected as the 23rd week's best players, the Suns were still firmly at the top of the power list, and the teams behind them changed one after another.
The NBA officially announced the best player of the 23rd week, the West was won by Sun guard Booker, the East was won by Celtics forward Tatum, and the 2-man election was also deserved.
Booker led the Suns to a 3-0 record last week, averaging 37.3 points and 6.3 assists per game and shooting 58.1% from the field;
Tatum led the Celtics to a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, averaging 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
This is Tatum's second consecutive Eastern Conference Best of the Week, which is also the first player in Celtics history to achieve this achievement, while Tatum won three weekly bests in March, becoming the second player in history to achieve this achievement, comparable to James. In addition, Tatum has received the honor four times this season, tying Larry Bird as the player in franchise history who has won the most player of the week in a single season.
Tatum played well, and the Celtics also fought back wildly, jumping from 11th in the East to No. 1 in the East.
This is the sixth time in Booker's career that he has been selected as the best of the week, and three of them have been won this season, which is enough to see how good Booker has been this season. Named the Best of the Week three times in a single season, Booker became the first player in team history to do so since Nash in 2006-07. So far this season, Booker has averaged 26.5 points, 5 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, helping the Suns to a record of 61 wins and 14 losses, and has locked the first place in the league in advance.
In the latest edition of the power list, the teams played by Booker and Tatum happen to be in the first and second positions, and the momentum of the two teams has been very hot recently. The Suns had not had Paul in some time before, but they were still soaring, and they locked in the league's first position in advance, and all of them had home-court advantage in the playoffs.
Top 10 on the power list: Suns, Celtics, Grizzlies, Bucks, Lone Rangers, 76ers, Warriors, Heat, Nuggets and Timberwolves.
