Chapter 71 MVP is hot, Lin Whirlwind is coming

The United States EPSN today announced the shortlist for this season's MVP, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' Yuan Shu because of his recent performances against the sky, throwing off all other competitors, ranked first on the MVP shortlist with a high score of 98.9 points, due to 82 points in one game and 76 points in one game, making the average points per game in the previous ten games as high as 35.8 points, in addition to averaging 11.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, With 2.2 steals and 2.0 blocks, this average per game performance dwarfs the second-ranked LeBron James' 26.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's strength, James's data would be enough to be called a veritable MVP No. 1. Coupled with the fact that the Cavaliers are currently ranked first in the league with 10 consecutive victories, Yuan Shu's candidacy for the top spot is undisputed.

"I feel like I should be number one on the MVP list." Regarding ESPN's MVP ranking, James said his thoughts in an interview, "I'm not afraid of anyone, including the one at the top of the list, I think I should be at the top, and if I have the right to vote for MVP, I will vote for myself." ”

James' innate self-confidence made the reporter a little dumbfounded, after all, Yuan Shu's recent popularity is indeed not comparable to James, especially the two games of 82 points and 76 points.

"How do you evaluate Yuan Shu's last two high-scoring games?" A reporter immediately asked James a question.

"I don't care if I can score 82 points, 76 points or 100 points, I only have one goal, which is to lead the team to win the championship, and as long as I can win the championship, I am willing to not even score a point. Scoring is not the only criterion for judging a player, I think it should be measured in many aspects, such as other aspects of contribution, rebounding, defense, blocking, making the opponent better, etc. ”

James's words seem to be very reasonable, and many reporters present nodded in agreement, but some more serious reporters turned over the data and compared it according to James's words, Yuan Shu surpassed James in defensive data such as rebounds and blocks, and made the opponent betterfell straight to 7+, and even only got 2-3 rebounds in some games, which was nicknamed "Bo Yiban" by fans, as for Wade, the lightning is still the same, but the three important statistics of scores, rebounds, and assists have declined to varying degrees.

At the same time, in a recent game, thanks to Yuan Shu's assist and attractive defense, the new season's top pick Kyrie Irving just scored 57 points, breaking Jennings' league rookie scoring record of 55 points.

"It's a slap in the face." Some authors, after carefully studying the data, came to conclusions. However, James' news speech denouncing the ESPN rankings was still on television.

......

On February 3, Chinese player Yi Jianlian appeared in the NBA official game for 3 minutes after a lapse of 2 and a half months, slashed 2 points, picked 1 board angrily, and led the Mavericks to defeat the Bulls in overtime.

On February 4, the New York Knicks hosted the New Jersey Nets, and the media broke the news that the general manager of the Knicks issued an ultimatum to D'Antoni, and this game was either won or left, and it seems that D'Antoni may leave New York at any time.

After a series of frequent schedules, the Cavaliers got a rare 3-day break, and there happened to be no games on February 4, after the end of practice, Yuan Shu called Valejo, Irving, and Leonard to his home to watch the Knicks and Nets game together.

"This game... What's... Good-looking. Vallejo munched on the chips as she grabbed a handful from the bag, ready to put it in her mouth at any moment.

"Take a good look at this game, you're going to love it!" Yuan Shu said very confidently.

Yuan Shu's words have stood the test of time many times, so seeing what Yuan Shu said categorically, Owen and Leonard waited very quietly for the start of the game, except for Valejo, after eating a big bag of potato chips, he picked up a bag of dried fruit and ate it.

As soon as he threw two pieces into his mouth, he saw Valejo's face become hideous, and he immediately got up and ran to the bathroom, and then heard "vomit... vomit.." sounds.

Yuan Shu curiously picked up the packaging bag and looked at it, there were three words written on it: dried durian.

......

On February 4, the Knicks defeated the New Jersey Nets with a full lineup of 99-92 in the fourth quarter at home, and Jeremy Lin, who played as a surprise soldier in this game, played the entire fourth quarter and beat All-Star point guard Deron Williams at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, scoring 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, staging a small soldier legend!

After the game, Jeremy Lin's performance caused heated discussions in the media and gave D'Antoni, who was already on the brink of danger, a breather!

This game was really exciting, especially in the final stage of the game, when the score was tight, Jeremy Lin successfully singled DeLong in a row, which made Owen can't help but exclaim. You must know that in the fourth quarter of the last game, Jeremy Lin also played a wonderful performance, which made Irving feel a strong sense of oppression.

"It was originally for us to watch a Jeremy Lin game, this kid played well." Vallejo said as he ate charcoal-grilled cashew nuts.

"See, this is just the beginning." Yuan Shu got up and turned off the TV and responded.

Sure enough, as Yuan Shu said, Jeremy Lin played a highlight performance in the next few games, which was surprising. In a game against the Washington Wizards, Jeremy Lin had 23 points and 10 assists to get his first career double-double. On February 10, Jeremy Lin scored a career-high 38 points and dished out seven assists to lead the Knicks to a 92-85 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, and on February 11, in a close victory, the Knicks defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 100-98, Jeremy Lin scored 20 points and eight assists, outperforming Spanish golden boy Ricky Rubio, on February 14, 2012, in a game against the Toronto Raptors, less than a second from the end of the game. Jeremy Lin hit a three-pointer to help the Knicks beat their opponents, and in the next game against the Sacramento Kings, Lin sent a career-high 13 assists to check in early, leading the team to a seven-game winning streak and bringing back coach D'Antoni, who was on the verge of being sacked.
