On December 7, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the best players of the latest week. The Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell and the Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan were elected respectively.
Last week, Mitchell averaged 33.0 points and 5.7 assists, shooting 57.1% from the field, leading the team to a record of three wins.
DeRozan averaged 30.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game last week, shooting 58.7% from the field. Under his leadership, the Bulls also won all three games.
On December 7, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the latest team strength list. The Warriors continue to top the list, and the Suns still follow closely. Let’s take a look at the detailed rankings:
This week, the Warriors first lost to the Suns by 8 points in the away game. Two days later, when they returned to the home court to fight their opponents, they scored a 22-point victory and ended their opponent’s 18-game winning streak. When they were ambitiously preparing to start a winning streak on the Spurs, they were suppressed by opponents who were inferior to their own, and ultimately failed to achieve a comeback.
Judging from the Warriors’ experience this week, back-to-back fighting is indeed a huge drain on the team: the back-to-back sun was ended with a winning streak; the Warriors played the worst defense of the season when facing the Spurs and were taken by their opponents in 101 rounds. Scored 112 points. The bad news for the Warriors is that next week, they will embark on a journey to the east, during which they will face back-to-back combat twice.
2. Phoenix Suns record: 19 wins and 4 losses. Last week’s ranking: No. 2
Tempo: 100.9 (4) Offense: 110.4 (9) Defense: 104.2 (2) Net Score: +6.2 (3)
After defeating the Pistons at home, the Suns set a new record in team history with 18 consecutive victories. During the winning streak, the Suns played extremely high-quality performance on both offensive and defensive ends, and their dominance on the defensive end is particularly commendable. In the home game against the Warriors, the Suns allowed their offensive opponents to score only 96 points. For the first time in the season, they failed to score more than 100. The Warriors core Stephen Curry was defended to only 4 of 21 shots and shot. A career-level poor performance.
3. Milwaukee Bucks record: 15 wins and 9 losses. Last week’s ranking: No. 5
Tempo: 99.8 (10) Offense: 110.1 (10) Defense: 106.3 (8) Net Score: +3.9 (5)
The Bucks suffered a serious injury this season. Middleton and Holiday were both absent at the beginning of the season. Dallo had back surgery. Now Antetokounmpo has to start missing the game due to a sore right calf. So far this season, when Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Holiday can start at the same time, the Bucks have a record of 10 wins and 0 losses. This data can reflect how terrifying a healthy defending champion is.
4. Chicago Bulls record: 16 wins and 8 losses. Last week’s ranking: No. 6
Tempo: 99.3 (13) Offense: 110.5 (8) Defense: 105.8 (7) Net Score: +4.7 (4)
This week the Bulls had two victories in New York. They first defeated the Knicks by 4 points, and then defeated the Nets by 4 points, achieving a double kill against their opponents so far this season.
The Bulls’ key ball ability is very commendable. According to statistics, so far this season, only 4 players in the league have made more than 50% of the shots in more than 20 key shots, and two of them are in the Bulls: DeRozan has made 12 of 21 shots from the season so far, and LaVine has made 15 of 29 shots from the season so far. The two of them made a terrifying 97% of their free throws at critical moments (34 of 35 free throws).
5. Utah Jazz record: 16 wins and 7 losses. Last week’s ranking: 7th
Tempo: 98.0 (19) Offense: 116.2 (1) Defense: 106.9 (11) Net Score: +9.4 (2)
The Jazz’s offensive efficiency ranks first in the league, which is closely related to their excellent three-point shooting ability. In the home game against the Celtics, the Jazz shot the fourth-most 27 three-pointers in a single game in league history. In that game, they finally scored 137 points.
On the offensive end, the Jazz were better off the defensive end than at the beginning of the season. In the away game against the Cavaliers, they defended Garland’s key ball at the last minute. In the end, they narrowly won by 1 point and won a wave of four consecutive victories. .
