With 68 wins and 14 losses, this season, the Spurs played the best regular season record in team history without being favored, which can be regarded as creating a whole new history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, people know in their hearts that the reason why the Spurs are so strong in the regular season is definitely related to Jin Feng's birth.

You must know that Jin Feng's strong rise not only alleviates the crisis in the Spurs' backcourt, but also improves the team's defensive intensity to a certain extent, and has an activating effect on Aldridge.

That's right, especially the latter, that is, the activation of Aldridge.

Before the rise of Jin Feng, the Spurs' offensive points were mainly concentrated in the forward line and the inside line, and for Aldridge, he always played very hard, when Jin Feng rose, it was different, the Spurs' offensive points were obviously moved outward, which made the pressure on Aldridge plummet, and the released Ade could definitely play his unsolved mid-range shooting to the extreme......

…………

The end of the regular season means the arrival of the playoffs, and at this moment, to be honest, Jin Feng has waited for a long time.

A lot of people have said that what is the quality of a player? The regular season sometimes doesn't mean anything, but the playoffs will be vividly highlighted, Jin Feng wants to get more recognition, or in other words, if he wants to prove himself again, he must have the same good or even better performance in the playoffs.

Of course, everyone knows that the regular season and the playoffs are two different concepts, and it won't be easy to continue to perform well in the playoffs, especially for a young player who has never played in the playoffs......

Soon, the first round of the 2016-2017 NBA playoffs was released!

West: Spurs vs. Trail Blazers, Warriors vs. Grizzlies, Rockets vs. Thunder, Clippers vs. Jazz.

East: Celtics vs. Bulls, Cavaliers vs. Pacers, Hawks vs. Wizards, Bucks vs. Raptors.

The Spurs are in first place in the West with 68 wins and 14 losses, which is also the best record in the league, while the Warriors, who have the Big Four, are in first place in the East with 66 wins and 16 losses, two fewer wins than the Spurs.

For the Golden State Warriors, this is hard to accept, because they were not only swept by the Spurs in the regular season and robbed of the regular season championship, but more importantly, they will face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.

The Grizzlies, although not the favorites for the championship, are definitely the most reluctant opponents to meet by the league's top teams, as are the Warriors.

There is a rumor in the market: If you fight the Memphis Grizzly Bears, you have to shed your skin if you don't die!

From this, you can think about the mood of the warriors right now......

Before this season, generally speaking, after the end of the regular season, one of the highlights is the attribution of various awards and honors. Scoring champions, assist champions, steal kings, these honors can be known by looking at the data, and everyone is looking forward to the best coach, the best defensive player, and especially the regular season MVP that symbolizes the status of history!

However, this season is different, because the league has changed the rules, and all the awards will not be announced now, and everything will be announced after the finals!

Of course, the fact that it is not revealed now does not prevent everyone from talking about and predicting these important awards.

As far as this season is concerned, the honor of regular season MVP, the Thunder's average triple-double Wang Weishao and the Rockets' assist king Harden are the favorites to compete for MVP, of course, Leonard also has a certain chance, but compared with the previous two, the possibility is much smaller.

In fact, the debate over who deserves the MVP between Willis and Harden has been raging since the end of the regular season.

After the regular season ended, TNT, a broadcast station with great influence in the United States, held a roundtable to talk about the ownership of the regular season MVP this season.

The host first led the topic: "The annual regular season is finally over, this season. We have seen a lot of things in the NBA that we haven't seen in previous years, and there are also a lot of interesting people, such as China Jin, as an NBA rookie, he dominated the layout almost from the beginning of the season to the end of the season, and the talented older rookie Joel Embiid was in front of him, and there was no competitiveness at all.

Of course, for people, it's more about who will be the MVP of the regular season this season. To be honest, this is a difficult topic to choose, the season just ended, there are many superstars in the league who have played phenomenal performances, such as Westbrook, such as James Harden, such as Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Isaiah Thomas, etc., but among these supergiants who have played phenomenal performances, there is no doubt that Westbrook and James Harden are among the best.

Let's talk about Westbrook first, the average triple-double data per game in the regular season, breaking the NBA's dusty record for many years, can be called a shock, and James Harden is not far behind, this season under D'Antoni's bombardment system, James Harden changed to point guard, led the team to the third place in the West without being favored, and the performance was also amazing!

So, guys, I would like to ask, who do you think is more qualified and who has more opportunities for this year's regular season MVP? Wei Shao? Or James Harden? Or is it kawaii? ”

Kenny Smith was the first to speak: "First of all, I want to express my surprise, I didn't expect that as the best player in the league, LeBron James didn't even rank in the top three in the MVP, yes, he was disqualified from competing for this award, even if their Cavaliers are second in the East, it's also good." ”

"Wei Shao played a breathtaking season, James Harden took the Rockets to the limit, they are both very good, but, I want to choose Wei Shao, you know, before the start of this season, they are extremely unfavorable, whether they can qualify for the playoffs is their primary goal, but, now who would have thought that Wei Shao single-core led the team, not only to bring the team to the sixth place in the West? And he's averaging an incredible triple-double per game, and he's had the best season of his career! ”

At this time, Charles Barkley interjected with a smile: "Man, I agree with you, the performance of these two guys is worthy of MVP, this season's MVP battle must be between Wei Shao and James Harden, but, guys, if I have to choose between the two, I think I will choose James Harden, Wei Shao as everyone said, played very well this year, averaging a triple-double per game, but please don't forget, the team's record is the most important criterion for measuring MVP, this, James Harden is doing better, the Houston Rockets are third in the West and third in the league, while the Thunder are sixth in the West and tenth in the league, I think the MVP can be awarded to James Harden, of course, I have to affirm one thing again, both of them deserve the MVP, I raise my hands in favor of both of them winning the MVP, if the two can share this award together, it would be more perfect! ”

The two guys, one supporting Wei Shao and the other supporting James Harden, it was O'Neal's turn to speak, but O'Neal sat in his seat very majestically, without saying a word, staring fiercely at Charles Barkley.

The host smiled and asked, "Shaq, why don't you speak?" ”

Barkley smiled and said, "Don't you see that he is holding back a big breath of resentment? Haha, when he wants to speak, I guess it's hard for you to interrupt him. ”

O'Neal paused for a while before he opened his deep voice: "Charles, you know, you obviously know that only Kawhi Leonard is worthy of this year's MVP, but you actually chose James Harden, you said that the Rockets' record is better than the Thunder, what about the Spurs?" The San Antonio Spurs have had the best record in the league this season under Kawaii."

"Kenny, you said that Wei Shao led the team to finish sixth in the West, isn't Kawaii leading the team alone? This season's San Antonio is nominally a "double German" team, but if you look at Aldridge, he didn't even make the All-Star bench! ”

"Look at what Kawaii has done this season, scoring 30+ points in eight consecutive games, listen, he's playing under Popovich, and the All-Star starter, the best defensive player contender, the favorite for the best team and the best defensive team, leading the Spurs to the best record in team history, these are too many honors to count in front of you, and you still think others are more qualified for the MVP?"

After O'Neal said this, especially after listing the honors that Leonard won this season, everyone was silent, and Charles Barkley, who was also a player, also had to admire in his heart, these honors may not be so earth-shattering, but, compared to Leonard's performance last season, you have to admire, this guy's growth rate, his performance, is also crazy.

Charles Barkley had to be frank: "It's true that Kawaii is definitely a person who is qualified for MVP, but he has more helpers, when it comes to this, we have to mention China Jin, China Jin's performance this season is absolutely amazing, I think, if it is in the East, China Jin can at least be selected for the All-Star bench lineup......"

"Shaq, you know, I'm also a kawaii fan..."

……………

The talk continues, but this is not destined to lead to any definitive conclusion, because this is a subjective question!

…………

For teams that have qualified for the playoffs this season, the end of the regular season does not mean relaxation, but on the contrary, a more severe test is coming, especially for those teams that have just been lucky enough to qualify for the playoffs, such as the Portland Trail Blazers!

Portland, USA!

The Trail Blazers players gathered together, all in high spirits, and the team's coach Tristotz clapped his hands: "First of all, congratulations to us for surviving from the edge of the cliff, no one thought we would make the playoffs, but we did it!" With Nurkic coming in, we've had the best record of the month in the league, we've got the Big Three, we've got a lot of great players, and we've only just started the season, two days later. We're heading to San Antonio. ”

As soon as they heard San Antonio, all the players looked solemn.

Stotts also said solemnly: "They are the number one in the league, they have been one of the favorites for the championship every year for the past 20 years, there is no doubt that they are strong, but, players, don't forget, against the Golden State Warriors, we can all move with them, not to mention the San Antonio Spurs, we have a chance to get them, we are confident to complete the Black Eight Miracle and then advance to the next round."

After a brief silence. It's a monstrous fighting spirit.

"We are not afraid of any opponent!"

"We have the Big Three, we've beaten them twice this season and we're going to win in the playoffs!"

"We're going to create the Black Eight Miracle!"

……

San Antonio.

The Spurs training gym is about to welcome the first opponent of the playoffs, and Popovich can't help but cheer up the players.

The old man seems to be in a good mood, to be honest, although he has been coaching the Spurs for more than 20 years, it can be said that he has witnessed countless wonderful scenes, but, as far as this season is concerned, it is very surprising to him, he never expected the team to enter the playoffs as the first in the league, this season they played a record that surprised everyone, the old man immediately smiled at everyone and said: "Thank you for everyone's efforts, we have our current results, but the first place in the league is not an honor, It just puts us in a better position to compete for the title, and our first opponent in the playoffs is the Portland Trail Blazers, and it's clear that if we take them lightly, we're going to pay a dearly price..."

"I'm not pouring cold water on everyone, I'm not trying to get them angry, but the truth is, it's really not optimistic for us, this season, we've got a lot of great players, especially China's Jin and Jonathan Simmons, both of you have been outstanding, but, in terms of the playoffs, you're both rookies, so, I want to say that the playoffs are different from the regular season, in one game, we need everybody to play well, we need more people to step up. I will never allow such a shame as Kurohachi to happen to our team again! I don't ask you to end the battle within a few games, in short, these two games at home, you have to win for me, do you have any confidence?! ”

"Yes!"

"There is no faith!"

"Yes!"

……

Oakland.

Compared with the high morale of other teams, the atmosphere of the Warriors seems to be a little dignified, this is a situation that should not have happened, after all, the Big Four!

However, think about the opponent in the first round, no one on the team can laugh, Memphis Grizzlies, this season the Warriors were not only swept by the Spurs, but also lost twice against the Grizzlies, all signs prove that the Grizzlies are not easy to play, especially for a team with a weak interior like the Warriors.

"Hey, what's wrong with everyone, is it really supposed to be like this? Just because we're second in the league, just because we faced the Grizzlies in the first round? If that's the case, I have to admit that I've been playing with a bunch of softballs for so long."

"We're the Golden State Warriors, we've got two MVPs, we've got the Big Four, we've got a good bench lineup, we're aiming for a championship, so, guys, cheer up, what Memphis, what San Antonio, regular season that's it"

Draymond Green is worthy of being the spiritual leader of the Warriors, and this is the time for him to step up, and he himself understands this, so he launched a big mouth and yelled at his teammates.

And I have to say that Green's roar had an effect, or rather, the Warriors should have been like this, and in just a moment, the training hall was happy.

"Everybody knows what I'm going to do this season and I'm going to do it"

Durant slammed the basketball into the hoop!!

"San Antonio, Cleveland, we'll get revenge"

"We're the best team"

…………

For a team like the Warriors, it is clear that there is only one factor needed to boost morale, because their hard power is there.
