Successfully eliminated the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Lakers' next round opponent is the Utah Jazz, who have the first record in the West.

The Jazz's first-round opponent is the Dallas Mavericks, who are ranked eighth in the West.

Doncic is strong, but he is still powerless in the face of the Jazz, averaging 35.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists in five games per game, but he still lost the game 1:4 and was eliminated.

And for the Lakers, being able to play the Jazz in the second round is already the most ideal result.

Although the Jazz team is the first in the West, compared to the Warriors, the Clippers and other teams are still slightly behind, after all, the Jazz team is stronger overall, but the team lacks top superstars like James, Curry, and Leonard who can shoulder important offensive responsibilities at critical moments.

At least in the eyes of the Lakers and Wang Feng, it is important to deal with Mitchell, Bojan. The Jazz, with Bogdanovic and others as the main scoring points, are much better than the Clippers against James + Leonard and the Warriors of the Splash Brothers.

It is worth mentioning that the Clippers, ranked sixth in the West, eliminated the Denver Nuggets with a score of 4:2 in the first round, completing the next gram and successfully meeting the Warriors in the semifinals of the second round of the West.

Last season, it was these two teams who battled it out in the Western Conference semifinals and fought a tiebreaker, and the Clippers relied on the play of James and Leonard, two top stars, to win hard, and eliminated the Warriors to advance to the Western Conference finals.

Unexpectedly, the same script is about to be staged again this year.

The Clippers are a little weaker than last season, but Westbrook, as a regular season MVP-caliber player, still has a chance to show super dominance at some point, even if he pulls it now.

On the other hand, on the Warriors' side, the combination of the Splash Brothers and Green is in its second season, and the team's salary space is almost locked by three people, and due to the butterfly effect, there is no Jordan in the lineup. Poole, who didn't have Wiggins, was only a small patch in free agency last summer, didn't make any big moves, and his overall strength was close to last season.

In this case, it is difficult to judge which of the two teams will win or lose when they meet again.

The two matchups in the East are the Brooklyn Nets vs. Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers.

……

Before the start of the divisional semifinals, the league's official website announced the best team in advance.

All 15 spots in the three best teams were voted on.

The five players in the best team are Stephen of the Warriors. Curry, the Lakers' Wang Feng, the Bucks' alphabet brother Giannis. Antetokounmpo, the Nets' Durant and the Denver Nuggets' Nikola. Jokic.

The five people for a while are all well deserved.

Curry averaged 30+7 per game for the second consecutive season, and Antetokounmpo dominated the Bucks on both ends of the floor as always, averaging 28+11+6 per game.

Durant and Jokic also have 28+7+5 and 26+10+8 stats.

Of course, the most explosive data in a burst is Wang Feng, who averages 40+13+11 per game.

Whether it is the contribution to the team's victory, or purely from the data level, Wang Feng is deservedly the strongest.

But what makes the majority of Chinese fans indignant is that Wang Feng, whose data performance is so explosive that even the peak Qiao gang leader is ashamed of himself, only ranks second in the selection and prediction of MVP in the regular season.

At the top of the list is the Bucks' alphabet brother Antetokounmpo.

The Bucks' regular season record this season is 58 wins, which is only 6 wins ahead of the Lakers with 52 wins, and Brother Alphabet's average of 28+11+6 per game is far from Wang Feng's 40+13+11 data.

But Brother Alphabet's ranking is just above Wang Feng.

Wang Feng could probably guess the reason.

Wang Feng, who has been the MVP of the regular season for three consecutive years, has reached the peak of his prestige, and if he continues to win the MVP of the regular season, it will be an unprecedented four consecutive MVP, not to mention the current players, even the basketball god Jordan will be difficult to suppress Wang Feng.

Such an amazing and glamorous character, if he was born in Damilican, he would naturally be praised wildly without reservation.

But the problem is that Wang Feng is a Chinese player.

Let a Chinese player win so many honors in the NBA, doesn't it clearly say that the current players in the United States are not good?

Not a single Mi would gladly accept this outcome, at least not the vast majority.

Although Brother Alphabet is not from the United States, he is from Greece and is fundamentally different from Wang Feng from China.

Whether it is the MVP of the regular season or the selection of the best team, it is voted for by hundreds of journalists, of which more than 90% are from the United States and Canada, and only 10% are from other countries combined.

The reporters of the United States are also from the United States, and of course they don't want Wang Feng to be so arrogant and domineering in the NBA.

Assuming that Wang Feng's personal data is impeccable and the team's record is also the first in the league, then even if they are unwilling, the vast majority of reporters will still vote for Wang Feng first, after all, in addition to their identity as a Mi countryman, they also have the identity of a professional media person, even if it is only superficial, they must maintain the so-called fairness and openness.

"Becoming an Immortal"

However, the Lakers, who were the first in the league in the regular season in the first two seasons, are only fourth in the West and seventh in the league this season, which undoubtedly gives them a "reasonable" excuse.

Most of the media in China, and even Wang Feng himself, feel that this year's regular season MVP may be gone, at least from some of the voices faintly revealed by the media in the United States can make such a judgment for the time being.

The media in China have felt sorry for Wang Feng, if Wang Feng can achieve the great feat of four consecutive regular season MVPs, he will once again set a new record in the NBA.

And Wang Feng is the purple self-selected badge with the regular season MVP reward in mind.

This is no joke, and if it weren't for the regular season MVP trophy, his loss would not be small!

But it's useless to worry about this kind of thing, Wang Feng knows very well that the NBA is just a business league in the final analysis, and everything is just interests and business.

He's done the best he can and if he doesn't get his way in the end, there's no way to do it, and he'll be able to make a comeback next season.

Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back, the selection of the regular season MVP is not over, and it is not yet known who will die.

……

In addition to the first team, the five players selected for the best second team were the Hawks' Trae. Young, the Lone Ranger's Luca. Doncic, Lakers' LeBron. James and Kawai. Leonard, Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Clippers were only sixth in the West in the regular season, and there were still two people who were selected to the All-Round Second Team, which shows the status of James and Leonard and their place in the hearts of many media commentators.
