Time Champion! Average 37.6 minutes to win the Cow and Horse Award

Recently, Knicks forward Josh Hart posted a special trophy on social media - the "playing hour championship" officially awarded by the NBA, and joked: "It seems that I have done enough cardio this year!" Behind this award is Hart's first league appearance time averaging 37.6 minutes per game in the regular season this season, and his Iron Man's performance in 77 regular season games. However, this trophy is not only a compliment to its professional spirit, but also reflects the hidden worries of the Knicks' excessive consumption of the core.

Hart, who is only 1.93 meters tall, has played center-level data this season:

averaged 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.5%, and his rebounds, assists and steals all hit a career high;

The feat of 18 rebounds and 11 assists in a single game was staged 6 times, the fourth in the team's history in terms of triple-doubles, second only to legend Ricky Garen;

Defensive end turned into a "popular gold oil": the shooting percentage of the opponent was suppressed to 42.3%.

What is even more amazing is its battery life.

Hart's Iron Man attribute perfectly matches the tactical philosophy of Knicks coach Thibodeau:

Extreme rotation: The Knicks have three seats among the top five players per game this season (Hart, Bridges, Anunobi);

Injury disregard: When playing against the Timberwolves in January, Hart still insists on playing in the next three games, averaging 37 minutes per game;

However, this high-intensity use lays hidden dangers for subsequent events. After all, high-intensity confrontations are prone to injuries, and many players who have suffered major injuries and have been reimbursed for the season so far.

Since the playoffs, Hart averaged 37.5 minutes per game, scoring 12.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists, with a shooting percentage of 48.9%/38.7%/75% in three events.
