After the time entered the end of April, the MVP selection once again became a hot topic of discussion.

Link and Curry, the two men who have terrified the league, are also inevitably put together for comparison.

Last season, Link was unanimously voted MVP. But this season, the unanimous vote myth will certainly not be repeated.

Stephen. Curry's emergence has changed so many things.

In terms of statistics, Curry's average of 23.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game is not as good as Link's average of 30.7 points, 8.1 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game.

Link's scores, rebounds and assists this year are career highs!

With an average of 30.7 points per game, Link has become the scoring champion this season! Westbrook, who ranks second on the scoring list per game, only has 28.1 points!

Compared with the data, Curry can't match Link at all except for the three-point shooting percentage.

But the selection of MVP is not so "brainless" than data.

Prior to 1980, MVPs were voted by players. So there will be a "big O" who averages a triple-double per game, and Chamberlain averages 50 points per game, but in the end Russell wins the MVP.

Because the players don't look at the data, they are only responsible for selecting the "best players of the moment". Since then, data has not been the only criterion for selecting MVPs.

After 1980, the selection of MVP was handed over to the media. It seems to be much more reliable, but MVP is still not an award that is more than personal data.

For example, in 1997, the Bulls won 69 games, Jordan was second in the league in efficiency, first in the league in winning index, and averaged 29.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. But in the end, it was the "postman" Carl. Malone won the MVP.

This can't help but give people a feeling that "Malone hasn't won the MVP yet, since he also performed well, although he is worse than Jordan, it should be no problem for him".

There are many similar things, and in '05 Shaq averaged 22.59 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. But people awarded the MVP to the Canadian because "Nash actually turned the sun upside down."

MVPs are always chosen, and factors such as personal data, the strength of teammates, and the strength of divisions have different weights in everyone's minds.

Therefore, not the player with the best stats has the best chance of winning the MVP.

Warriors fans believe that even if Curry's stats are not as good as Link's, his epoch-making performance this year will definitely impress many media.

Against the Trail Blazers in April, Curry broke his own record of 272 three-pointers in a single season.

As a result, the NBA's single-season three-point record, three of the top five seasons are held by Curry, two of which are only set by Curry.

And over the past three years, he's shot 45 percent, 42 percent and 44 percent from three-point range.

There is no doubt that Curry has become the greatest three-point shooter of this era and in entire history. Warriors coach Stephen Brown. Kerr hit 84 three-pointers in 128 playoff games in his career, while Curry has now made 84 three-pointers in 23 playoff games.

Curry's stats are certainly not as good as Link's, but he has shown the world that basketball can still be played like this.

And such an achievement will definitely influence the choice of the media. God knows if they're going to pick a player who isn't the best stats as MVP for some special reason like they did in 1997 and 2005.

So, in most people's eyes, Link's MVP status is already in jeopardy. In the imagination of most Warriors fans, Link should be so anxious by now, so anxious that he can't sleep at night, and his legs are weak when he gets up in the middle of the night to pee.

But Link's confident answer at the press conference yesterday disappointed many.

Link wasn't scared at all, he wasn't anxious at all. He doesn't think anyone can steal his MVP because he's done the best.

Link's arrogant attitude has not only displeased some Warriors fans, but naturally also the Warriors players.

On April 26, just one day after the Grizzlies eliminated the Pelicans 4-0 to advance to the second round.

The Golden State Warriors also cleanly eliminated the Dallas Mavericks with a total score of 4-0 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

Like the Grizzlies, none of the four games the Warriors have had for the Mavericks to close the margin to single digits. Stephen. Curry put up a crushing performance and scored 40 points in one game......

Judging from the performance in the first round of the playoffs alone, Curry and Link, the Warriors and the Grizzlies, are equal.

After the Warriors successfully advanced, Draymond. Green and Andrew. Bogut's two big mouths both stood up for Curry at the post-game press conference.

"Link is a megalomaniac, and he did win more Month awards, but MVP has always had nothing to do with Month Awards. I'm sure Stephen will be the MVP, he's clearly more liked. Green bluntly uses the word "megalomaniac" to describe Link.

And Bogut, on the other hand, has a clean mouth, "If Link wins the MVP again, it might as well scrap this award." This award is given to the best player of a single season, not to the player who has the least respect for the opponent. Link is a jerk, and Stephen is supposed to be an idol. ”

The last time the two sides fought, Bogut was directly deducted by Link, which undoubtedly made him very resentful.

Since then, he and Green have formed the Warriors' "mouth cannon group" and have been spraying at Link for three days.

Green and Bogut responded very strongly, but unexpectedly, Link responded on his social media as soon as possible.

"Draymond. Green is a good guy and really, I really enjoyed the 1.8 seconds I spent with him. I'm sure Andrew didn't mean anything because he didn't even dare to look me in the eye after being knocked down by me last time. This proves that he is not a wicked man, but a coward. ”

Link's response mercilessly stepped on the sore feet of Green and Bogut, and he fought back hard with his own 1.8-second kill in Green's first 1.8 seconds and the dunk of Bogut.

Link's subtle riposte made his dynamics be frantically forwarded, and there is no doubt that this round of war of words was won by Link.

Although the bickering between the two sides could not determine the final MVP, it undoubtedly made the gunpowder between the Warriors and Grizzlies stronger, and people were more and more looking forward to the meeting between the two sides in the Western Conference Finals.

Of course, in addition to the MVP during this time, the results of the major regular season awards are also being announced one by one.

Due to the fierce battle between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers, the Grizzlies players are also out of game assignments for the time being.

Until May, the Clippers and Trail Blazers had not yet decided the winner. And before the start of the second round of the playoffs, the results of the regular season awards are already being revealed.

On May 2, the NBA officially announced the results of the Coach of the Year selection. Warriors' Steve. Kerr won the award by a landslide, earning the Warriors their first regular-season award of the season.

The Warriors may not be the No. 1 team in the West, but the speed of the Warriors' rise and the magnitude of the changes they have brought to the league cannot be ignored.

Cole deserves to win the award.

A day later, on May 3, the league announced the results of the Defensive Player of the Year.

Link became a continuation of Dwight. After Howard, the first person to win back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year awards. At the same time, he is also the first outside player in NBA history to win the Best Defensive Player award in a row.

Link won the Defensive Player of the Year award, which was actually expected by most people. But when the voting results for the Best Defensive Player award came out, it caused an uproar.

In this year's Defensive Player of the Year poll, Link received 28.68% of the vote, while Spurs forward Kawai Kawaii was voted against. Leonard's share of the vote was 27.30%!

He is just a fraction of a second away from the Best Defensive Player award!

Although the difference of 1.3% is also poor, Leonard and Spurs have not said anything about it. But Warriors fans couldn't sit still, and in their opinion, it was simply a sign that Link was losing the favor of the media.

As a result, Curry's call for MVP instantly became higher again.

"Link was lucky enough to win the Defensive Player of the Year, but next time, he won't be so lucky."

"I can now imagine the outcome of the MVP vote, Stephen has a chance to beat Link, and there's a good chance!"

"I really want to see Link's expression after losing the MVP, I'll use it as a meme."

The Warriors fans collectively exploded, more excited than the Spurs fans.

This time, however, Link didn't respond immediately. Not because he was flustered, but because he didn't have that energy.

Now, Link doesn't have to deal with Warriors fans, but an opponent who has just come back from a lap from hell and has become incredibly gritty and strong......
