Easily hit 11+13+10, setting a 48-year best record! Sorry Wei Shao, your all-time triple-double king hangs
Since February, the NBA's points per game average has fallen rapidly, with 115.6 points per game per team before January 21, the highest since the 1969-70 season, and 112.8 (225.5 points per game) between February 1 and March 17, a record number of points scored per game.
In terms of specific individual data, the reduction in free throws and offensive rounds is the main factor affecting the decline in overall statistics.
Obviously, after several consecutive seasons of data explosion, NBA officials have also realized through the change in ratings that fans have become aesthetically fatigued, so they adjusted the scale of blowing penalties to try to turn the situation around.
Since Xiao Hua took office, the NBA has continued to improve the pace of the game and offensive and defensive rounds through the revision of rules and blowing penalties, resulting in a significant increase in various offensive statistics, and the difficulty of getting a triple-double is also decreasing.
Even so, the triple-double is still the embodiment of a player's all-round ability, and Wei Shao is undoubtedly the best of them, since Durant left the Thunder, Wei Shao has started an almost crazy triple-double journey.
In the first six seasons of his career (2008-14), Wei Shao only had eight triple-doubles combined, and then he went on to triple doubles in consecutive seasons.
He even handed in 42 triple-doubles in a single season, almost every two games, and was a feat of averaging triple-doubles in four out of five seasons.
With such a rapid upward momentum, Westbrook officially surpassed Oscar Robertson's 181 triple-doubles in May 2021 to become the new NBA all-time triple-double leader.
Unfortunately, Wei Shaowei left the Thunder for the championship, and then his competitive form declined sharply, and the frequency of getting triple-doubles also decreased significantly, and his career so far has improved the record of the first triple-double in history to 198 times.
Although it is still significantly ahead of other players in the current roster, as more and more well-rounded players emerge, Wei Shao's position as the first triple-double king in history is being shaken.
Sabonis Jr., who has grown rapidly over the past two seasons, is one of the challengers, and since joining the Kings, Sabonis has fully realized his talent and developed into one of the best interior players on the roster.
In the game against the 76ers, Xiao Sa shot 3 of 5 and easily handed over a triple-double of 11 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.
With this performance, Xiao Sa has won a double-double in 54 consecutive games.
Officially surpassed Kevin Love and set the league's longest record (48-year best) since the NBA and ABA merged on June 18, 1976.
At the same time, this game was Sana Jr.'s 25th triple-double of the season, becoming the fifth player in NBA history to score at least 25 triple-doubles in a single season, firmly occupying the first place on the triple-double list this season.
His career triple-double tally has also increased to 56, just three shy of 10th-placed Bird.
Since the beginning of the game, Xiao Sa has averaged 19.8 points, 13.7 rebounds and 8.3 rebounds per game, even if the league begins to emphasize defense, scoring and rebounding doubles are not a problem for Xiao Sa.
In addition, the king's current tactics are completely centered on Xiao Sa's strategy, as long as the teammates next to him don't feel too bad, Xiao Sa has a chance to get a triple-double almost every game.
In addition to Jr., Doncic and Jokic are also on a strong run for triple-doubles, and it seems only a matter of time before he relinquishes the all-time triple-double title as Westbrook's form declines.
