What is MVP?
Not only has good personal data and a good team record, but also the ability to help teammates. This is the definition of the perfect MVP.
Not every season's MVP can meet these requirements.
There is also a gap in strength between MVPs.
It can be seen from whether the MVP has been questioned. Zhao Chen's MVP has never been questioned by many people.
Rockets offense.
Harden continues to be the main offensive point.
Harden has been improving in the past few seasons. The most obvious thing is the overall increase in points and assists. If Zhao Chen hadn't been too unbelievable, he would also be a strong contender for MVP.
Defending Harden is Rose.
Rose is very fast and gives Harden enough interference.
The intensity of the playoffs was greater than that of the regular season. Rose was very strong and gave Harden a lot of confrontation, and the referee did not call a foul.
Rose's defense was great, and the Lakers' defense in other positions was also very active. Other Rockets players had no chance. Harden chose to step back forcefully against Rose, which was extremely disruptive!
The ball hit the front frame hard.
After entering the playoffs, Harden did not play as resolutely as he did in the regular season.
The rebound was protected by Arab League.
Zhao Chen can also feel that Harden's mentality seems to be affected in the playoffs.
McHale was a little helpless when he saw Harden's rhythm.
After Ah Lian got the ball, he immediately gave it to Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen decisively stepped on the Hot Wheels and exploded with acceleration!

"Uh-huh!"
28 to 39.

"Well done!"
"He is indeed the fastest man on the basketball court."
"The defensive players couldn't even catch Zhao Chen's jersey."
"Zhao Chen can't defend himself when he charges."
"Harden is a very good scorer, and Zhao Chen is also a very good scorer, but the gap between the two is here."
"Zhao Chen was a stable player in the playoffs, while Harden was a panic player in the playoffs."
"Zhao Chen doesn't want two points in conversion, he just wants three points!"
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen shook his three fingers and pointed at the sky.
The fans at the scene also shouted Zhao Chen's name loudly.
The game has only started for more than one quarter, but Harden is already sweating profusely.
Harden feels a lot of pressure.
Harden didn't know why Zhao Chen didn't seem to be affected at all in the playoffs, but instead played better.
Rockets offense.
The pick-and-roll between Harden and Capela comes again.
After the pick-and-roll, Capela's pass was delayed by Arab League, and Harden chose to force his way in.

"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen directly covered Harden's layup with his hand.

Zhao Chen's impact was so powerful that after completing the chase, he knocked Harden directly to the ground.
None of the Rockets players would have thought that a ball that was so sure of Harden would be knocked down.
"Zhao Chen's chasing hat is too scary."
"The main thing is fast speed and quick response."
"Harden's offense was within Zhao Chen's prediction. Zhao Chen's talent supports him to complete this level of defense."
"If it were the regular season, Zhao Chen might not block shots like this, but this is the playoffs, and we will see Zhao Chen at his best."
Zhao Chen's defensive ability continues to cheer the fans.
The fans were less shocked because they knew Zhao Chen could defend like this.
Zhao Chen has top speed, strength, muscles, jumping, agility and reaction ability. These are the hard conditions for him to block shots.
In actual NBA games, Zhao Chen and James are the only two people who can run through half the court or even block shots throughout the court.
When the opponent plays a fast break, Zhao Chen is often the only one on the Lakers who can keep up. If it were anyone else, he might have watched his opponent complete a wonderful dunk on his own basket.
This season, whenever I watch Lakers Zhao Chen’s games, there will always be many wonderful shots.
Zhao Chen's strength is not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.
Now Zhao Chen is equivalent to a Thanos-like existence, flying in the sky and escaping the earth on the court, omnipotent.
The combination of physical talent and youthful passion has created the current peak Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen performed another wonderful dunk. The point difference became wider and wider. The Rockets were in a very difficult situation. Bad," Barkley shouted.
McHale on the sidelines was very anxious. It was dangerous to be behind by so many points at the Lakers' home court.

After returning from the timeout, the two sides changed back to the starting lineup.
