On April 18, 2002, after the regular season concluded, it was ti for sports comntators to discuss the gas.
John Hollinger, an analyst for ESPN, introduced a new tric this year called EWA, which is calculated based on a player's efficiency rating and playing ti.
(A/N: This is an alternative tiline. Sothings are different.)
This tric primarily reflects a player's contribution to their team's victories in a season, and its data model is similar to PER.
After all the calculations, Clay Lee once again blew this tric out of the water.
For ESPN's comntators and data experts, Clay Lee was simply the god of Excel!
No player in the past had ever played like Clay Lee.
After more detailed data statistics were gradually introduced at the end of the 20th century, Lee's performance was simply god-like.
However, every ti a column article written purely based on data was published, it would face skepticism.
For many old-school comntators, Clay Lee's playing lacked a certain "spirit".
Especially after adding a large number of three-point shots, Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently comnted on Clay Lee's performance this season:
"Perhaps Clay's stats are great, but I prefer Kobe's way of playing!"
"Basketball is not just about data. The Lakers' gas better embody the spirit of competitive sports!"
These words from the all-ti leading scorer always had an indescribable strangeness.
Such comnts also provoked a strong backlash from the New York dia:
"If Clay's efficiency were the sa as Kobe Bryant's, then Madison Square Garden would still only have two championship banners!"
"…"
In the morning, a news report from USA Today also didn't forget to mock the all-ti leading scorer.
A young New York fan, interviewed randomly, angrily stated:
"Basketball is about winning, and Clay Lee is the GOAT! He and Michael Jordan are both natural winners!"
"F*** Kobe! Co compare yourself to Lee when you get an MVP!"
The New York dia usually compares Clay Lee to Magic Johnson, maintaining a high standard.
What everyone likes to discuss is:
"Who is the greatest point guard of all ti?"
However, the Los Angeles dia always likes to compare Kobe to Clay Lee, and Philadelphia is the sa.
These comparisons naturally angered New York fans.
In their view, there was a fundantal difference between the two, and those two were just trying to piggyback on Lee's popularity.
The news report that aired early this morning truly amused the onlookers.
NBC and ESPN both preferred Lee's stats, and it was the sa for many fans.
Not everyone could watch every ga, and big data allowed them to understand the ga better.
The regular season ended with mixed emotions.
This year, the Western Conference was fiercely competitive and incredibly intense.
The Eastern Conference was a chicken-pecking contest, with teams fighting tooth and nail for playoff spots.
In the 2001-2002 season, the 8 teams that made the playoffs in the Western Conference were:
The Sacranto Kings with 61 wins, the San Antonio Spurs with 58 wins, the Lakers with 57 wins, and the Dallas Mavericks with 56 wins.
The Timberwolves with 49 wins, the Portland Trail Blazers with 46 wins, the Seattle SuperSonics with 44 wins, and the Utah Jazz with 44 wins.
The 8 teams that made the playoffs in the Eastern Conference were:
The New York Knicks with 61 wins, the Nets with 51 wins, the Detroit Pistons with 48 wins, and the Celtics with 47 wins.
The Orlando Magic with 46 wins, the Hornets with 43 wins, the Toronto Raptors with 41 wins, and the Pacers with 41 wins.
The Milwaukee Bucks, with 41 wins, were unfortunately eliminated.
Belonging to the sa Central Division, the Pacers ultimately squeezed into the playoffs based on head-to-head record.
Allen Iverson was sidelined due to injury in April, and after a losing streak, the 76ers' record dropped to 40 wins.
It was the sa for the Washington Wizards.
Michael Jordan also missed the last few gas in April due to a knee injury, finishing with a 40-win record, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference.
The Milwaukee Bucks failed to make the playoffs, and Ray Allen was sowhat broken.
After last night's ga, he started to speak his mind again:
"This result is unacceptable. We should have achieved a better record, but soone always drags the team down."
"The NBA should give us more attention. The Bucks should have made the Eastern Conference Finals last season!"
"Without the referees' favoritism, the 76ers couldn't have made the Eastern Conference Finals."
"I don't like the team's current playing strategy, and I'm not interested in making changes."
"These two seasons, my efficiency is higher than Allen Iverson's, but no one discusses ."
"I hope the Bucks can build a championship team around !"
Ray Allen's shooting this season was second only to Clay Lee.
Affected by so injuries, Ray Allen only played 69 regular season gas, but he made 229 three-pointers with a three-point shooting percentage as high as 43.4%.
Although he failed to break Lee's record of 254 three-pointers set in the 99-00 season, this performance was already outstanding.
Ray Allen indeed tried his best.
As for who delayed the team's record, it was naturally "lazy dog" Glenn Robinson and Head Coach George Karl.
Paul Pierce, who made the playoffs for the first ti in his career, was very happy and didn't forget to make so comnts last night:
"The Celtics should get more attention. I should have been directly selected for the All-Star Ga."
"If I took 27 shots a ga, I could also average 30 points!"
"So players are overrated. Fortunately, basketball doesn't lie. Everyone won't have to discuss him in the playoffs."
The vengeful Pierce's sarcastic taunts towards a certain star player who was squeezed out of the playoffs made sports dia happy.
Everyone loves such gossip.
Similarly, Baron Davis, who was also squeezed out of the All-Star Ga but made the playoffs, also made so comnts, which also sparked discussion among comntators.
In contrast, there was not as much animosity in the Western Conference, with only Shaquille O'Neal occasionally mocking his teammates.
On April 19, the NBA announced the statistical leaders for the 01-02 season:
Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons won the Rebounding Title with an average of 13.0 rebounds per ga.
Andre Miller of the Cavaliers won the Assists Title with an average of 10.9 assists per ga.
Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons won the Blocks Title with an average of 3.5 blocks per ga.
Clay Lee of the New York Knicks successfully defended the Steals Title with an average of 2.9 steals per ga;
The Scoring Title was no surprise.
Clay Lee successfully surpassed all players with an average of 32.1 points per ga, winning the Scoring Title again!
This season, Clay Lee gave Allen Iverson no chances, playing all 82 gas and scoring 2630 points in a single season.
He averaged 36.0 minutes per ga, with 32.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.9 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.8 turnovers per ga.
He averaged 20.3 field goal attempts per ga, with a field goal percentage of 51.2%.
He averaged 9.0 three-point attempts per ga, with a three-point percentage of 42.7%.
He averaged 8.3 free throws per ga, with a free throw percentage of 90.2%.
He entered the 180 Club for the second ti in his career, tying the record set by Larry Bird!
At the sa ti, he made 317 three-pointers in a single season, breaking his own three-point record from the 99-00 season, far ahead in NBA history!
ESPN, as usual, also announced the regular season statistical rankings, and data expert John Hollinger praised Lee's performance wildly:
"Clay Lee's playing style represents the future. He is the true GOAT of this era!"
"This season, God is still playing in a No. 1 jersey!"
Such an evaluation was also given because Lee's PER this season reached 35.5, also breaking his own inhuman record from last season.
On April 20, the New York dia once again celebrated.
Early in the morning, television and print dia began reporting on the outrageous records set by Lee.
Although legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar believed that Lee lacked so "spirit
