After the All-NBA and All-Defensive Team were announced, there were only a few awards left in suspense for the regular season.

The biggest awards of the season, the MVP of the Regular Season Player, the DPOY of the best defensive player representing the most defensive ability of the season, as well as the Best Rookie, Best Coach, Most Improved Player and Best Sixth Man awards.

Unlike the All-Defensive Team and the All-Defensive Team, this more intuitive individual honor award also has trophies, and the selection will be announced later, usually until the divisional finals or even the finals.

Regular season MVP, Curry is basically hopeless, although the Wizards got the second 70 wins in history, but Curry's personal data is much worse than other regular season MVP candidates, and more importantly, Curry has been elected regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons, which also makes people have a little aesthetic fatigue, if Curry can still contribute an average of 30+8 data per game this season, there is still a little possibility to compete for the regular season MVP, can average 24.8 points per game, and there are basically few chances.

This is different from Curry's first regular season MVP in another time and space, when Curry became the regular season MVP of the 14-15 season with a lower 23.8 points and 7.7 assists, but that was the first time Curry was elected as the regular season MVP, and the Warriors could only rank sixth in the West in the 13-14 season, and directly jumped to the first place in the league with a 67-win record in the 14-15 season, which all had a rating bonus to Curry at that time.

The Wizards of this time and space have been the first in the league for three consecutive years, even if they win 70 wins this season, they are only a few more games than the previous two seasons, and Curry has slipped from an average of 30 points per game to 24.8 points, which naturally cannot satisfy the commentators who voted.

Curry missed out on the regular season MVP contender, but Leonard had a good chance of being voted Defensive Player of the Year.

According to the normal trajectory of another time and space, the one who will be the best defensive player in the 12-13 season will be Mark. Gasol.

Gasol Jr. is a very good player, not inferior to his brother Paul. Gasol, but in Wang Xiao's opinion, he is not a top defensive player.

His defensive ability is completely based on the model of team system, not real individual ability.

In the 12-13 season, the Grizzlies conceded the lowest points per game in the league and ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency, but even if Gasol Jr. was replaced with defensive centers such as Jordan Jr., Dunn, and Tyson Chandler, the effect on defense would be the same, or even better.

In terms of stats and personal accolades, as of 2019, Gasol Jr. has only been selected to the All-Defensive Team twice in the 12-13 season, and was elected to the All-Defensive Team in the same year, and has not been selected to the All-Defensive Team in any other season.

Therefore, Wang Xiao feels that this season, Leonard is likely to defeat Gasol Jr. to win the Best Defensive Player trophy.

Compared with Gasol Jr., Leonard's contribution to the Wizards' defensive system is obviously greater, and he has many wonderful defensive performances in the face of top superstars such as James and Anthony, and from the team, although the Wizards only rank seventh in the league in points per game, and concede nearly 6 points more than the Grizzlies per game, it is also related to the Wizards' fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions, and the Wizards' average points per game are unmatched by the league.

……

Regardless of who wins the Defensive Player of the Year, the second round of the playoffs is in full swing as time goes on.

Wizards vs Nets, this matchup is also not a suspenseful game in people's eyes.

From the lineup to the strength of the players, the Nets have no advantage at all, and the only highlight of this series is the matchup between Wang Xiao and Jeremy Lin.

On May 6, the first game of the second round, the home of the Wizards.

When the players on both sides warmed up on the court, Jeremy Lin did not come forward to greet Wang Xiao.

This is the first time in history, because in the previous regular season meetings, Jeremy Lin would go to the Wizards' bench to say hello to Wang Xiao before the start of the game.

And he didn't do it today, just to show his determination to win this game.

Looking at Jeremy Lin, who was extremely serious about warm-up training, Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing.

A few days ago, Jeremy Lin sent him a text message apologizing, saying that it was because the two teams were going to face off in a series, and he would put everything aside and go all out in order to be able to play without distractions.

Wang Xiao did not have any dissatisfaction with Jeremy Lin's behavior, on the contrary, he was very pleased.

Great players have a lot of the same qualities, such as great talent, tenacity, hard work...... In Wang Xiao's view, the most important of these traits is competitiveness.

In the face of the defending champion, who won 70 wins in the regular season and was in full swing, Jeremy Lin did not show any cowardice, was bent on winning, and did not waste Wang Xiao's first SS-level player growth template card for him to use.

……

At the beginning of the game, Jeremy Lin showed a strong desire to attack, but Wang Xiao was also prepared.

From the moment he came on the pitch, Jeremy Lin's defender was Klay. Thompson, not Curry.

Curry's offense is among the best in the league, but his defense has always been a shortcoming, and even if he is good enough to rank in the top half of all the point guards on all 30 teams in the league, he will still be targeted by many teams.

It's clear that Curry can't guard against Jeremy Lin, especially when Jeremy Lin combines his own speed with Kidd's strength, Curry's defense is nothing in front of him.

Looking at Jeremy Lin, who did not fall behind in the slightest against Thompson's defense and could still break through and score freely, Wang Xiao couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the growth template card.

As the first user of the system's growth template card, Jeremy Lin's potential has been fully tapped by him, and at the same time, the growth template card has not completely buried the characteristics of Jeremy Lin itself.

As a defender, Jeremy Lin's speed can also be considered among the top ranks, only behind players such as Rose, Wall, Westbrook, etc., which is much faster than when Kidd was at his peak, and much faster than Kidd when he broke through.

This season, relying on the perfect combination of speed and power, Jeremy Lin's lethality with the ball is extremely strong, and few point guards in the league can block it, just like LeBron on a point guard. James.

Throughout the regular season, Jeremy Lin averaged 21 points, 6.5 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game, and was the only guard in the league who could score 20 points + 10 assists this season.

Jeremy Lin, who combines the characteristics of two guards, may have surpassed Kidd at his peak in terms of strength at this stage!
