The Bulls and SuperSonics broke the NBA regular season record for the best record in history and made headlines in sports news. No team had ever won 70 games in the regular season before. The Lakers won 33 consecutive games in the 1971-72 season.

In the end, only 69 wins were achieved.

This was a major event recorded in history. All the media compared Yang Jian and Jordan because they were the stars and top scorers of both teams.

The confrontation between the two is very similar to the "black and white battle" between Magic Johnson and Big Bird Larry Bird. Moreover, Yang Jian and Jordan are both shooting guards, so direct confrontation seems more exciting. Almost all media predict that the two teams will

When we meet in the NBA Finals, it is very difficult for other teams to win four games in the series.

Not only do the two teams have the same record, they also have the same record with each other, with one win and one loss.

To determine who is No. 1 in the league, the third point is to look at the records of the two teams against the other top eight teams in their league. The one with the highest winning rate is at the top. The two teams are also tied in this category.

Then, they play against the top eight teams in another league, and the team with the higher winning percentage comes out on top.

This item was won by the Bulls. They only lost three games to the Western Conference teams, the SuperSonics, Nuggets, and Suns, and seven games were lost to the Eastern Conference teams. The Nuggets were not yet among the top eight, and ultimately ranked

The 10th seed in the Western Conference missed the playoffs.

If it is a smaller score than the last game between the two sides, the Sonics will win. They won more in the first game against the Bulls.

Unfortunately, the last one was not compared, and the Sonics could only rank second in the league. Such a slight advantage gave the Bulls a home court advantage in the finals.

Everyone who supports the Sonics is very depressed. The team did not win the best record because the other playoff teams in the Western Conference did not perform well against the Bulls!

But the rules are like this, and it’s useless if you don’t accept it. If the record against the top eight opponents is poor, the league understands that the top eight in the Eastern Conference are stronger overall.

In fact, the SuperSonics' record against the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference is not bad, but the Bulls only lost two games. In this era, the Eastern Conference playoff teams are indeed very strong, unlike in the future where the West will be strong and the East will be strong for more than ten years.

Weak pattern.

Bulls team members and fans were equally unhappy, because the Bulls had the opportunity to take the record one step closer, but in the end they lost three consecutive games to weak teams and only lost by one point. It was a shame.

Yang Jian was the happiest person of both teams, ecstatic because he gained seven attribute points in one breath. Without home field advantage in the finals, everything is just a cloud. Improving one's own strength is the way to go.

He changed the history of three star teammates and created the best record in the regular season with them. Another attribute point is that he witnessed history, the Bulls' 72 wins and 10 losses.

There is only one attribute point for witnessing history, and it does not mean that each of the Bulls' three giants contributes a point. If everyone has points, he can witness too much history, and only major events or landmark events can be used.

He believes that if he beat the Bulls in the finals and won the championship, the situation would be different. Losing the championship is a major historical event for every Bulls player.

There are also three attribute points from Gary Payton and John Stockton.

Payton averaged 38 minutes per game, scoring 14.8 points, 4 rebounds, 11.7 assists and 2.9 steals, shooting 50.5% from the field, 36.3% from three-point range, and 74.4% from free throws. He averaged double figures in assists per game for the first time in his career, and won the

Won the assists and steals title.

Payton won the steals title, and Yang Jian witnessed history. This was the first time Payton won the steals title in his career. In a parallel world, this season was also the only time he won the steals title in his career. Later, Kemp was traded away from the team, and Payton was forced to

Put more focus on the offensive end.

Stockton's fate was changed, ranking second in assists with 11.2 per game, and his record of consecutive assists titles was ended. In a parallel world, he won 9 consecutive assist titles, including this season.

This is an important turning point in Stockton's career. In a parallel world, he has never won the assists title after 1996, and has only reached the finals twice. Now that he is missing an assists title, his historical status will definitely drop a bit.

If the Jazz fail to reach the Finals in the next two seasons, Stockton will probably have no place in history.

Yang Jian added all seven points to the mental attribute, for a total of 57 points.

All the points he gained after rebirth were added to his spirit, and he was about to catch up with the "basketball skills" attribute. He could practice other attributes. His basketball skills improved a little in the second half of the regular season, and his shooting accuracy also improved a little.

Physical fitness 90 (top), basketball skills 58 (average), shooting accuracy 6210 (excellent shooter), mental 57 (very good).

His overall evaluation changed to "85 points s-, a first-class NBA star. You can take on heavy responsibilities and shoot key shots at critical moments in the game, and you can also attract defense and assist teammates to score."

The change in evaluation is because Yang Jian's passing awareness is getting better and better, which can be reflected in the data.

In the regular season, Yang Jian played 37.8 minutes per game, scoring 27.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks. He shot 52.3% from the field, 40.8% from the three-point range, and 83.6% from the free throw line. He almost entered the "180 Club"

.

The 180 Club, also known as the 50-40-90 Club, refers to NBA players who have a shooting percentage of at least 50%, a three-point shooting percentage of at least 40%, and a free throw percentage of at least 90% throughout the season.

Yang Jian ranks second in the scoring list, and the regular season scoring leader is Jordan.

Jordan averaged 37.7 minutes per game, scoring 30.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.5 blocks. He shot 49.5% from the field, 42.7% from the three-point range, and 83.4% from the free throw line.

On the surface, Jordan's three-point shooting percentage is higher than that of Yang Jian, and his long-range shooting is better. In fact, he only averaged 3.2 shots per game and hit 1.4 goals, and his shots were almost always at the top of the arc, where the three-point line was shortened, and other positions were inaccurate.

Yang Jian averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game, ranking fifth in the league in three-pointers. He is very satisfied with his performance from beyond the three-point line, but his performance is not stable enough. When he feels good, he can score more than 5 in a single game.

Three-pointers, but none when he felt bad. He failed to make a three-pointer in seven games.

In addition, Yang Jian occasionally uses arm swings and only averages 5.2 free throws per game, while Jordan averages 8 free throws per game. Jordan scores more mainly because of free throws, while Yang Jian's scoring efficiency is higher.

He shot nearly 50% of his mid-range jump shots, ranking first in the league.

Yang Jian's mid-range two-point shooting percentage is 48.4%, and his long two-point shooting percentage is slightly higher at 50.2%. His mid-range shots account for 55% of all shots, and his big jump shot has become his trademark.

In addition, Yang Jian's efficiency value of 28.3 ranks third in the league, slightly behind Jordan and David Robinson's 29.4, and better than Karl Malone, who ranks fourth at 26.

His true shooting percentage of 62.2% ranked eighth in the league, seventh behind Reggie Miller. Jordan's true shooting percentage did not rank in the top ten.

Because of his eye-catching statistics, the media spoke highly of Yang Jian. Many people began to regard him as an MVP-level star. The regular season MVPs in the previous three seasons were not as good as him in terms of record or points per game.

"Yang Jian's statistics in his rookie season are comparable to Jordan's, and there is no suspense about being selected for the All-NBA First Team. He ranks second in the MVP rankings, but the chance of beating Jordan is slim. If he hadn't encountered the equally powerful Bulls this season, he would have

You can win the MVP in your rookie season.”

"Super rookie Yang Jian competed with the league's No. 1 player Jordan until the last game of the regular season. It's hard to tell the winner based on record and statistics. He scored 2,224 points in the regular season, averaging 27.8 points per game. He is fully worthy of the nickname God of War!

"

"The competition between the two will continue in the playoffs. The Bulls and SuperSonics will meet in the finals."

Because the performance of the two was so eye-catching, almost no fans paid attention to other stars, even if they won the individual data king.

Dennis Rodman won the rebounding title for the fifth consecutive year, averaging 14.9 rebounds per game, including 5.6 offensive rebounds. The media only mentioned him casually, and he was not selected for the All-Star Game.

Gary Payton won two data titles, but Yang Jian completely stole the limelight. Many fans believe that without Yang Jian, Payton would not have become the assist king.

Dikembe Mutombo, who averaged 4.5 blocks per game and won the block title for three consecutive years, is even less popular. Everyone has almost forgotten him. Although Mutombo is very brave and helped the team defeat the Bulls and SuperSonics.
