Chapter 407: Awards Announced, Wang Feng is MVP for the fourth time in a row?
The Lakers' Big Three, Wang Feng and Butler are all All-Stars who have become famous, Wang Feng holds five championships and three MVPs, and Butler has been selected for the best team and the best defensive team many times, and has also proven his ability to lead the team in the Bulls and Timberwolves.
As for Ingram, it may be said that he was too young in previous seasons, but this season in the regular season reimbursed by Butler, Ingram has fully deserved the title of giant by averaging 24.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
On the Nets' side, Durant, Irving, and George's Big Three, needless to say, were once the giants of the dominant side.
Wang Feng's former top scorer in the league, Durant, the No. 1 point guard in a certain sound - a well-known supporter of the Ground Flat - does not vaccinate President Ou, and George, who is conscientious and willing to be a three-man leader in the Nets.
The quality of the Nets' Big Three is excellent, second only to the Clippers in the league, and the chemistry of the three is much better than that of the Clippers Big Three.
However, the reason why the Nets have the current scenery is directly related to the butterfly effect.
George can run to the Nets, which is the result of the butterfly effect, George, who has good offense and defense, and can play without the ball, is obviously more suitable for the Nets than Harden, one of the Big Three of the Nets in another time and space.
Secondly, because there is no epidemic in this time and space, the funny plot of Irving's brain pumping and not being able to play without vaccination has not happened, and even Durant and Irving have far fewer injuries this season than in another time and space, although they are not completely healthy, but the overall attendance rate is still very good.
The Nets have been able to grow to this extent, and Wang Feng can't get rid of it.
……
Of course, the Lakers VS Nets in the finals are just the predictions of the current media, the Eastern and Western finals are not over yet, and everything is not completely conclusive.
On the Lakers' side, the players have become noticeably cautious anyway.
The Warriors are also a team with a criminal record, and there were several role players who specialized in dirty work in the years of winning the championship, and Green, one of the Big Three, is even more dirty.
With the victory in hand, what the Lakers need to do now is to protect the safety of the players as much as possible, don't enter the finals but lack a major general, that is really fatal!
On May 18, the Lakers played a series of G3 Western finals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and after a fierce battle, the Lakers won the game 110-99 and won the match point 3-0.
Curry's bottoming out in G2 seems to have entered a cooling state, and this game was immediately beaten back to its original shape by Wang Feng, shooting 7 of 20, 2 of 10 three-pointers, and even the free throws that are very stable on weekdays are not very good.
Curry was successful in this game, following 14 free throws in the last game, he got 12 free throws again in this game, but compared to 12 of 14 in the previous game, shooting 85.7%, Curry only hit 7 of 12 free throws in this game, and the free throw shooting rate was only 58.3%.
The team's No. 1 offensive core only scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, while Thompson and Green scored 19 and 17 points respectively, and the Warriors naturally couldn't win.
With the Warriors already trailing 0:3, the Warriors, like the Lakers' opponent Jazz in the second round, have no hope of turning the tables around.
Unlike the Jazz, the Warriors were not able to recover a city in the G4 game to save face a little, but were swept away by a crisp 4:0.
It is the first time that the Universe Brave, who has dominated the league for several years and won 3 championships in 4 years, has been swept out of the playoffs for the first time.
……
The Western Conference Finals have been decided, while the Eastern Conference Finals are still in full swing.
The Nets, who led 2-0 at the beginning, originally thought that they could end the game in four straight games like the Lakers.
But the Bucks are not the Warriors, and the Nets are not the Lakers.
In another time and place, this season's Bucks are the championship team to win the championship, and Brother Alphabet is at the peak of his career, showing strong dominance on both offensive and defensive ends.
After returning to their home court, the Bucks won two games in a row under the leadership of Brother Alphabet to tie the score to 2:2.
In the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Nets had a fierce bloody battle with the Bucks at home, and finally won the victory with difficulty, taking the lead in the match point, and the total score came to 3:2.
But the Bucks, who returned to their home court, were unwilling to fail like this, and stubbornly won a game to tie the score.
As a result, the Eastern Conference originally thought that the Nets would have the advantage in the Eastern Conference Matchup, but instead evolved into a tie-break.
The Nets and Bucks will battle it out in G7 to determine who is the best team in the East.
Before that, the league officially announced the ownership of the final awards of the season.
In the first two seasons, the league held an awards ceremony with great fanfare, postponing the season awards until after the finals.
However, after two seasons, the awards ceremony has received rave reviews instead of praise and attention.
Many stars go abroad for vacation or business after their team's playoff schedule, but the awards ceremony is postponed until after the Finals, causing many stars to change their schedules.
And the so-called award ceremony, the award must be suspenseful to be quite interesting.
However, although the NBA awards are also announced by the voting results, in fact, the winners have already known the results in advance.
In the first two award ceremonies, the regular season MVP candidates who accompanied the runner chose to be absent, and only the award-winning Wang Feng attended the award ceremony, and the whole award ceremony was really embarrassing......
Holding the award ceremony was time-consuming and laborious, and it was also necessary to rent a venue to invite stars to help, and after two sessions of hard work, the league simply canceled the award ceremony and reverted to the previous rule of officially announcing the season awards in the middle of the playoffs.
The Sixth Man of the Year was won by Jordan Clarkson, who averaged 18.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
The Most Improved Player award goes to Julius, a former Lakers player who went around in circles, or is it the same time and space as the New York Knicks' former Lakers player Julius. Randall.
Rookie of the Year was beaten by the Hornets' three-goal LaMelo of the Hornets. Ball's award was controversial because Edwards averaged 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season, which was no worse than his three-ball performance of 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists.
The best defensive player was once again won by Gobert, which is also the third time that Gobert has won the best defensive player award.
And the last and most important award is the regular season MVP.
Before the regular season MVP award was awarded, it was widely believed that Antetokounmpo was the most likely player to win the regular season MVP.
No matter how exaggerated Wang Feng's average data per game this season is, the decline in the Lakers' record is an indisputable fact after all, and more importantly, Wang Feng, as a Chinese player, has won the regular season MVP in the NBA for three consecutive years.
However, when the final voting results were announced, no one expected that it would be Wang Feng who won the MVP of the 2020-21 regular season!
Not to mention other people, even Wang Feng was a little stunned, after all, even he thought that the MVP of the regular season this time would probably be dropped by the unspoken rules.
And when he took a closer look at the voting results, he couldn't help but laugh.
In terms of final score, Wang Feng scored 782 points, only 3 points higher than Antetokounmpo, who scored 779 points, which can be said to be a thrilling victory.
In terms of the first vote, he was the most voted of the candidates, receiving 55 votes, but he had only 2 second votes and 43 third votes, with a total score of 779.
Wang Feng received only 30 votes in the first vote, but 66 votes in the second vote and 4 votes in the third vote, with a total score of 782.
As for Nikola Jokic, who came in third, he received 15 first votes, 32 second votes and 53 third votes, for a total score of 639.
In the selection of MVP in the same regular season, it is rare for three people to score more than 600 points, and the difference between the first and second points is only 3 points.
It can be seen that when voting, local reporters in the United States deliberately praised Brother Alphabet, so his first vote was nearly twice as high as Wang Feng.
But at the same time, some media reporters are also a little concerned about their fairness as a media reporter, and it is not good to vote too little for Wang Feng, after all, this is the first player in the history of the league to average 40+10+10 super triple-double per game in the regular season, so Wang Feng's second vote was as high as 66.
Who would have thought to be smart but was mistaken by being smart, Wang Feng actually relied on the vote rate of the second vote, and actually defeated Brother Alphabet by 3 points, and won the regular season MVP award for the fourth consecutive year with a 3-point advantage!
Looking back now, if a reporter votes to change the voting order for Wang Feng, maybe the regular season MVP will become Antetokounmpo, but who would have thought of this result?
When the league's official count of votes was counted, he was also speechless, but he didn't expect that this would still make Wang Feng achieve four consecutive regular season MVPs.
They also thought about whether to operate in the dark and give Wang Feng, the regular season MVP, down, but after thinking about it, they still didn't take this risk.
The voting results are open and transparent, and they can influence the voting judgment of media reporters during the voting period, but if the voting results are already out, if they do it again, once it is exposed, the alliance will lose face, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, the alliance can only bite the bullet and announce the results.
