Compared with the media people who have been around for thousands of years, the masses are still very discerning.
Recently, there has suddenly been a vigorous discussion about the regular season MVP, and this topic has attracted the attention of fans.
After the All-Star Weekend, although the Trail Blazers' form declined and they "only" achieved a record of 16 wins and 5 losses, this was inferior to their 43 wins and 5 losses before the All-Star Weekend. some.
Compared with the Warriors, Spurs, Mosaics, Bulls, and Cavaliers, a record of 16 wins and 5 losses is definitely not bad.
At the same time, Wang Zelin has played unparalleled dominance this season and has convinced many passerby fans and even many anti-fans.
Up to now, Wang Zelin has scored 30+ 41 times, 40+ 27 times, 50+ 7 times, and an unrivaled 84 points in a single game!
In the past 78 regular season games, he has only had two games without scoring more than 30 points. They were 28 points, 22 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 blocks and 5 steals in an away game against the Heat, and 28 points, 28 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals in an away game against the Lakers. Blocked a shot and made a steal.
Even if Wang Zelin played such a "bad" game, it would be something worthy of praise for 99% of the players in the league, and could even be regarded as a career classic.
The second place in the 30+ games list is Westbrook's 27 times, and the third place is Harden's 25 times. Only the two of them together can beat Wang Zelin.
In the list of 40+ games, the second place is Westbrook's 13 times, and the third place is Harden's 9 times. This time the two of them combined are not as many as Wang Zelin alone.
As for the 50+ games rankings, the second place is Westbrook. He has 50+ times this season. The third place is Harden. He has 50+ times 2 times this season. Then there are Thomas Jr. and David. Si, Butler, Wall and others, each of them had 50+ points in a single game once in a season.
So far, there have been 19 50+ games this season, of which Wang Zelin alone has accounted for 7 times.
In terms of the height reached by his single-game statistics, Wang Zelin also had several quadruple-doubles and one single-game 84 points. His monopoly in the field of statistics is already unparalleled, and it is difficult for all opponents behind him in the league to catch up.
Therefore, when discussing the ownership of the regular season MVP, the opinions among the fan group were almost unanimous, because they discovered a terrible situation: whether it was from record or data, Wang Zelin had almost locked in the regular season MVP in advance!
There are also fans who don't want to see Wang Zelin win the MVP again. They gave many reasons why Wang Zelin shouldn't win the MVP, but all of them were refuted by Wang Zelin's fans and the Blazers one by one.
The arguments put forward by fans who do not want to see Wang Zelin win the MVP are basically the same. When Wang Zelin wins both his record and data, they can only find another way and start focusing on "Wang Zelin has won the MVP for three consecutive years." Let people produce aesthetic fatigue" to launch a debate.
However, such a bizarre view obviously cannot be recognized by the public. In the eyes of everyone, such rhetoric is more like nitpicking and is of a stupid type.
It is true that similar cases have not occurred in NBA history.
Take Joe as an example. After consecutively defending the MVP title in 1991 and 1992, Jordan, who aspired to win three consecutive MVP awards, finally lost to Barkley in the MVP selection in the 1992-93 season. On the one hand, Barkley did lead the Suns. The biggest reason for achieving the league's first record is undoubtedly the so-called "aesthetic fatigue" in the media.
In addition to this season, the MVP competition in the 1997-98 season is the same.
In the 1995-96 season, he won another MVP trophy in his career by virtue of his 72-10 record, the best in history, and averages of 30.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. The Bulls' regular season record of 69 wins and 13 losses was significantly better than the Jazz's 64 wins and 18 losses. In terms of player data, Jordan also beat Karl Malone. What's the result?
It was again because of the old-fashioned aesthetic fatigue problem that caused Jordan to lose to Karl Malone in the MVP competition.
These two things were often mentioned by Jordan until after he retired. It can be seen that even though his career was perfect, he still left a lot of regrets.
But Wang Zelin's current situation is somewhat different from that of Jordan. This season, while his record is almost the same as last season, Wang Zelin's data has exploded, almost reaching an unprecedented average of 40+20 per game!
At this time, if people who are dissatisfied with him can really talk about the topic, there is a high probability that the only thing left is "the Blazers' record this season is not as good as last year's 75 wins."
But if you want to solve this problem, it is actually very simple. As long as the Blazers win 70 games this season.
The difference between 69 wins and 70 wins is really not as simple as one win.
Sometimes, a thin line of separation can make a world of difference.
Now, it depends on whether the Trail Blazers can defeat the Clippers on the night of the 6th and win 70 games as they wish?
Once it is obtained, the discussion about this season's MVP will basically be finalized.
Another point is that Wang Zelin is basically scheduled to be the scoring leader, rebounding leader and block leader for the season again, and may also defend the DPOY title again!
Wang Zelin's performance this season is undoubtedly the strongest among all players this season, so his fans and the Blazers have many arguments to refute the doubts of black fans and bad media.
Now Wang Zelin's fans are so excited that they no longer talk about the regular season MVP this season. What they are talking about is - if the Trail Blazers reach the top again this year, can Wang Zelin, who has completed four consecutive championships, surpass Jordan?
Yes, Wang Zelin's fan base has reached the point of winning the loan championship.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually quite normal.
A young man who is just twenty-four or five years old has already reached the mechanism of a certain field. At this time, no matter how much his fans praise him, it is not an exaggeration?
Wasn't this the case for Kobe during the Lakers' last two consecutive championships?
After the Lakers reached the finals three times and won two championships in those years, countless 60Es discussed topics such as "Kobe surpassed Jordan" on a daily basis.
In his previous life, after James won two consecutive championships with the Heat, similar voices arose among his fan base.
As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun.
No one expected that the online public opinion center would suddenly evolve from the competition for regular season MVP to a competition for historical status in the blink of an eye. The development of the situation was somewhat beyond the expectations of the media people.
But then, their eyes instantly became fiery.
The popularity of MVP only lasts for one season. The competition for historical status has indeed been carried out throughout the history of NBA development.
From the Lord of the Rings and Marshal Zhang in ancient times to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1970s, from the black and white duo in the 1980s to the one god with many powers in the 1990s, the discussion on the historical status ranking of NBA great players has never stopped.
Upon seeing this, the media people quickly fanned the flames and immediately raised a new topic: On the historical status ranking of active players after retirement?
Once again, there has been intense discussion on major social platforms.
At this time, it involves not only the MVP competition between Wang Zelin, Curry, Westbrook, and Harden, but also many fans of the old super giants have also jumped out and joined the discussion.
Whenever we talk about the NBA's historical status ranking, how can we miss 23 and 24?
On Kobe's side, his fans said: With the five championship rings in Kobe's hands, Kobe's place in the top ten in NBA history is indispensable.
At least for now, they don't think Wang Zelin can surpass Kobe Bryant in the historical status ranking.
The main argument of 60E is 5>3!
Because they can only focus on the number of championships, such as the regular season MVP competition, Kobe not only cannot compare with Wang Zelin, but also No. 23 James.
Well... it seems that among the top ten or even top twelve legendary super giants in history, Kobe has the least MVP trophy.
As the number one player in the league in the previous generation, as long as Kobe Bryant has not retired, his popularity and traffic will always be in the first echelon of the league, and his 60E combat effectiveness is no joke.
You, Kobe, are already on the court, so why are you missing the first player in the league of the previous generation, James?
Ahem, to be precise, he should be called the old emperor now. After all, James has now become a real thirty-year-old man!
23 and 24 compete again. Although James's number of championships is not as good as Kobe's, with only two championship rings, he has four regular season MVP trophies!
Square-eyed history, four regular season MVP trophies, second only to Jordan's five and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's six, currently ranks third in history, which is also quite explosive.
What is even more commendable is that James has achieved the feat of winning the MVP for two consecutive years!
Another plus!
Therefore, James fans also unified their argument and focused on the regular season MVP competition, that is, 4>3>1!
In their view, compared with Kobe and Wang Zelin, James is the one with the highest status in active history.
If championship rings are added, the two sides will barely be tied, but once the competition goes deeper, James fans unanimously believe that James (4+2) ≥ Wang Zelin (3+3) ≥ Kobe (5+1).
This ranking naturally aroused dissatisfaction among Kobe fans, and they immediately started a fierce scolding war with James fans.
The fans said that James didn't want to be shy. He went to the Heat to join Wade at the age of 26, and even roped in Bosh to form the unique Big Three in history.
It’s just that they formed the top three giants, and they didn’t know how to play even if they had a full-level number. The three of them had only won two championship rings after four years together.
Among them, James's poor performance in the 2011 Finals became the talk of the town.
The James fans also fought back very fiercely. They bluntly said that the first three of Kobe's five championship rings were purely obtained by lying down. If it were not for catching sharks' thighs, Kobe's most championships would be just like James' video.
When talking about cases of poor performance in the finals, the James fans also singled out some of Kobe's poor performances in his five trips to the finals.
Since you are in the first grade of junior high school, don’t blame me for being in the fifth grade of junior high school!
Come on, the worst is to hurt each other!
All we can say is that 23 and 24 have been in love and fighting each other for many years. There are countless treasures of data and cases, as many as you want.
In the minds of James fans, it is estimated that they would rather let Wang Zelin surpass James than let Kobe be ranked in front of James.
The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. For a while, no one could do anything about the other.
As the two major groups in the NBA, Ke Mi and James have already declined gradually after Wang Zelin's strong rise. Countless passers-by thought that these two groups had disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, when it comes to the NBA's historical status ranking issue, the two major traffic groups of the past were instantly resurrected, making many old fans seem to dream back to their youth overnight.
The happiest people were naturally the neutral onlookers, who were crazy about eating melons these two days.
As the passionate fight between Ke Mi and James became more and more intense, the two groups even began to personally attack each other's stars, and some old and bad things were also dug up.
At this point, it is not just a matter of Wang Zelin, Kobe, and James fans. Curry, Durant, Westbrook Harden, Davis, Rose, and even some Irving fans are not calm anymore. Want to come in and join in the fun...
Of course, there are calm fans, and Wang Zelin's calm fans are happier to see this kind of controversy.
How easy is it for everyone to be as convinced as they were of Jordan and call him the first man in history?
For now, Wang Zelin is just basically the number one player in active service, and there is still a long way to go before he reaches the height of being the number one player in history.
However, if you are not afraid of controversy, you are afraid of silence!
There is controversy, which means that many people already regard Wang Zelin as the best player in history!
Even if he doesn't reach that level for the time being, he is at least one of the best players in history.
What are fans? What is a fan?
To put it bluntly, it is a kind of spiritual sustenance, which is to pin things that you cannot do on a certain player or a certain idol. When the controversy and calls for Wang Zelin on the historical ranking issue became louder and louder, his fans We are also honored!
…
…
Wang Zelin has long heard about the issue of the league's historical ranking status.
In fact, as early as a season or two ago, many people regarded Wang Zelin as a strong contender for the best center in history. At that time, many media also ranked his historical status to a certain extent.
I remember correctly, it seemed to be hovering around the top 20 in history at that time.
Nowadays, the wave of public opinion from the outside world has pushed him to the topic of "Can he surpass the super single?" For him, this is actually pressure, the kind of pressure that is greater than motivation.
Last year's three consecutive NBA championships and the feat of leading the team to defeat the Dream Team in the Olympics have just established him as the number one center in the contemporary world. This season's regular season has not even finished yet, and he has directly entered the competition to be the number one player in history...
If you take too big a step, you can easily pull your balls!
But he can't blame the fanatical fans. They are only willing to support him because they believe that Wang Zelin will not let everyone down.
At this time, if he jumped out and stabbed the fans in the back, he would be truly stupid.
What's more, accumulating fan points has always been a channel for him to become stronger. Backstabbing the fans is backstabbing himself!
On March 6, the day of the game against the Clippers, Wang Zelin got up to have breakfast and check the news on his mobile phone. He saw that the media had started to lead fans into a new round of hype - whether Wang Zelin could be called the number one in history. Center?
Another new melon appeared, and countless melons came to watch.
Looking at the crazy increase in fan value in the system space, Wang Zelin could only feel pain and happiness.
Forget it, let it float, what do I, the king, have to fear? !
