"In the second round of the series, Wang Zelin once again completed the upgrade. After three games, he averaged 45 points, 19.7 rebounds, 7 assists, 6.7 blocks and 2 steals... I know that performance in the playoffs has nothing to do with MVP judgment. But from the playoffs Judging from their performance, everyone should also know who is more likely to become the MVP, right?"
"The Golden State Warriors' unbeaten streak in the playoffs was broken, while the Portland Trail Blazers, led by Wang Zelin, were invincible in the playoffs. It's clear who is the best..."
As expected, after the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, there was overwhelming news about Wang Zelin's violent performance in this year's playoffs.
Two games of 50+, two games of 40+, two games of 30+... Even on the worst night last night, he started with a near quadruple-double of 28+17+10+7. This kind of performance is enough to make countless sunspots Speechless.
If the MVP does not belong to such an excellent player, then who else can?
…
On May 9, 2016, before the fourth game of the series between the Warriors and the Spurs, the NBA officially announced the final winner of this season's regular season MVP.
After the news was announced, there was silence within the Warriors locker room.
Draymond Green had prepared a lot of words to ridicule Wang Zelin, just waiting for Curry to win the cup... As a result, looking at the picture on the TV, he could only delete it silently on his mobile phone.
Curry, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, also lowered his head and showed no expression.
Most of the rest of the Warriors are also in a state of listlessness.
Steve Kerr has never seen the team in this state, and the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room has been outstanding all season.
No matter what the situation, frustration is not an option in their locker room.
This kind of locker room atmosphere once reminded him of the Bulls days when he was a teammate with the basketball god Jordan as a player.
But today, negativity is visible to the naked eye on the faces of every Warriors player.
Cole stood at the door of the locker room, not knowing how to comfort his players for a moment, because even he was surrounded by depression.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at the screen of his mobile phone. On it was the news that the league had officially announced the MVP.
Contrary to what the Warriors expected, the 15-16 regular season MVP winner is not Curry, but Wang Zelin!
After the votes for the MVP vote came out, all the confident Warriors fans were speechless.
Curry received a voting rate of 34.5% in this vote, which is actually very high.
Throughout the history of the NBA, players with a vote rate close to 35% have focused on competing for the MVP in most years.
You know, Kobe was elected regular season MVP for the first time in the 2007-08 season, and his vote rate was only 33.73%. In the first ten years of the new century, this kind of vote rate actually ranked in the middle and upper reaches.
Among the top ten in the new century, there are only two whose MVP vote rates are less than 30%. They are Duncan, who received 29.12% of the votes in the 2001-02 season, and Nash, who received 28.43% of the votes in the 2005-06 season.
Therefore, Curry's 34.5% vote rate is really not low.
But even so, he still missed out on the MVP and went over the script of last year's second best.
Because Wang Zelin’s vote rate was as high as a terrifying 52.8%!
Except for Wang Zelin, who led the team to 70 wins in the regular season last season and achieved a history-breaking 100% first choice rate, in NBA history, only the ancient beast Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the great shark O'Neal at the beginning of the century can get more votes in the MVP selection. 50%!
And today, Wang Zelin became the third one!
After the results of the vote were made public, the entire Warriors team was completely shut down.
They thought Curry could win the MVP, but the result was a big disappointment. Curry didn't even get a chance to win!
As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Therefore, it is self-evident how depressed the entire Warriors team is right now.
Whether it is during the regular season or the playoffs so far, Wang Zelin has always been the most stable and terrifying person this season. The team's record is also impeccable. He can get more than 50% of the votes this year. In fact, it is not at all strangeness.
But it’s very sad for the warriors!
After winning a historic 73 games in the regular season but only finishing second in the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors were once again hit hard!
Not to mention the one who was hit the hardest was Curry himself!
Curry accompanied him for one season last year. I originally thought that the Warriors' breakthrough in regular season record this year would exceed the Trail Blazers' two games. Wang Zelin and Wang Zelin are in the difficult three-year MVP season. Although his own data Not as scary as that guy, but still inferior to one person in the alliance and superior to ten thousand people.
The results of it?
Reality dealt him a heavy blow once again!
Cole shook his head and turned off the phone screen.
No matter how many times he watches the news, the result cannot be changed. The only thing he can do now is to guide the players to move forward.
So what if I get MVP?
Not every player who wins MVP can have the last laugh in the playoffs!
Take these newly designed MVP players as an example. In the 2001 Finals, MVP Allen Iverson was outplayed by the Lakers OK team. The so-called reversal of fate and victory, most of which were pity;
Nash, the back-to-back MVP in 2006, still missed the Finals. After that, the Phoenix Suns began to decline and have never recovered since;
Nowitzki, who won the MVP in 2007 and reached the first peak of his career, was blackballed. In the following seasons, he was blackened into carbon. Before winning the single-core championship in 2011, he had been a typical representative of the "soft egg" in the league.
These MVPs all failed in the playoffs!
What's more, Kerr has always believed that the five-small lineup he created can allow the Warriors to break out of the Western Conference and eventually win the championship, changing the entire league from then on.
So, Cole clapped his hands and made all the players in the room raise their heads.
"Hey hey hey, boys! There's no time to be sad for us. The Portland Trail Blazers are already one step ahead of us and are waiting for us in the Western Conference Finals. Don't let them be complacent for too long!"
"Everyone raise their heads, we have only one goal today, and that is to kill the San Antonio people, and then return to the home court to deal with them, so that the lovely fans who silently support us can once again feel the joy of the team advancing to the Western Conference Finals! "
The Warriors players looked at Cole and nodded silently.
I have to say that those who can serve as head coaches in the NBA, such as chicken soup method, have basic skills.
…
132:105!
The final whistle ended, and at the AT&T Center Arena, the Warriors went on a wild killing spree in their away game against the Spurs.
In this game, the entire Warriors team seemed to have turned on their self-aims!
Especially the star Stephen Curry, a primary school student who just ran with him again in the MVP selection, started the day-to-day mode that night.
The whole game took 35 crazy shots, hitting 18 goals, with a shooting percentage of 51.4%, 6 of 14 three-pointers, a shooting percentage of 42.6%, 2 of 2 free throws, a true shooting percentage of 61.3%... 44 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds. 4 steals!
Tonight, Curry contributed the pinnacle of his career in the playoffs!
After this game, the total score of the series between the two sides was rewritten to 3-1, and the Golden State Warriors successfully obtained the match point.
