Chapter 278: The Sixth Consecutive MVP Fails, and the Largest Kuhei Group in China is born
Before the final selection results of the regular season MVP were announced, countless Chinese fans were looking forward to Wang Chao being able to achieve the super feat of six consecutive regular season MVPs and officially surpass Jordan in the ring of personal supreme honor.
However, compared with the more optimistic fans in China, the media in the United States, including fans from all walks of life, are not optimistic that Wang Chao will be able to win for a second time.
Of course, there are many reasons, in the sixth season of his career, Wang Chao's performance and team record have not improved significantly from previous seasons.
Other players, such as Curry, have also played well this season.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are not many people in the United States who hope that Wang Chao will really surpass Jordan, the god of basketball is the pride of basketball in the United States, what is the matter if he is inexplicably surpassed by a Chinese person?
Wang Chao had expected such a situation and was mentally prepared, so when the results of the regular season MVP selection were announced and Curry was crowned the regular season MVP by a narrow margin, he was not too disappointed, and the reason why the league awarded him the honor of the best defensive player was also completely confirmed.
Although he did not achieve the great cause of six consecutive regular season MVPs, Wang Chao won the DPOY for two consecutive years, which can be regarded as comfort.
——
"Stephen. Curry won the MVP of the regular season, breaking the rule of the Demon King, and a new era is coming! ”
"New superstars are on the rise, Curry and his Warriors have become the top teams in the league, and Stephen is not only breaking the five consecutive regular season MVPs of the Super League, but also beating the Rockets on the Western Conference finals stage and shattering the dream of Houston's three-in-a-row championship dynasty."
Curry won the regular season MVP, which caused a strong response in the United States, and countless media rushed to report that Curry was portrayed as a dragon slayer warrior who had just killed a dragon, and he was greeted with flowers and applause when he returned victorious.
Some people have even begun to expect Curry's Warriors to defeat the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals and break Wang Chao's monopoly on the championship.
After all, as long as the Rockets fail to win this championship to complete the three consecutive championships, even if Wang Chao wins the championship again and the total number of championships reaches 7 times, it cannot be regarded as surpassing Jordan in the real sense, after all, there is an essential difference between a single championship and three consecutive championships, and the efforts and hardships required to win the championship for three consecutive years to create a dynasty are far more difficult than a single championship.
However, unlike the regular season MVP, which needs to be voted on by the media, the Western Conference finals are more real, and whoever is more powerful will win.
Fans who are a little more sane know that although the Warriors are strong, they are not at all advantageous to the Rockets, including their best Death Five lineup, and the Rockets also have a stronger prototype version.
In the regular season, the Warriors didn't look good at losing to the Rockets, and it wasn't wise to be too optimistic.
In China, Wang Chao's failure to be elected as the MVP of the regular season also caused an uproar.
"Shady! Naked shady! Just because Wang Chao is a Chinese, he engaged in this kind of black-box operation to hack the regular season MVP that should belong to Wang Chao? ”
"It's disgusting, that's a six-time regular season MVP! Unprecedentedly, the gold content is worth more than Abdul-Jabbar's six tattered MVPs, and it was lost by the NBA league and unscrupulous media. ”
"Stephen. What is Curry? Why compare with Wang Chao? Wang averaged 31+12+11 triple-doubles per game in the regular season, and Curry was only 24+4+8, are the two comparable? Even if you compare Curry's best three-point shot, Wang Chao completely crushes him! ”
"Curry has made a total of 304 three-pointers this season, with a three-point shooting rate of 44.3%, and Wang Chao has not made as many three-pointers this season as he has shot as many as in previous seasons, but he still made 328 three-pointers, with a shooting rate of 49.6%.
"Disgusting NBA American professional basketball, Wang Chao come on, the West Final will blow up Curry, blow up the Warriors, and let out this bad breath!"
Wang Chao was stunned to find that his existence had once again changed history.
Originally, Curry in the 14-15 season, even if he won the regular season MVP, he was still unknown in China, not many fans noticed this baby-faced player, and as a point guard, he mainly played without the ball and floated outside the three-point line for a long time to shoot three-point play, compared with Westbrook, who is also a point guard, the passionate ball-holding breakthrough dunk, the aesthetic degree is also very average.
But with the 15-16 season, Curry returned to his position, and the Warriors started the regular season 73-9 journey, with all kinds of unreasonable and unsolvable three-pointers, so that Curry began to quickly harvest fans in China and had a large group of fans.
But now, Wang Chao is the player with the largest fan base in China, even exceeding Kobe's so-called "6 billion" fan base, among which there are of course some extremely fanatical fans.
In 2015, the fan circle culture has gradually revealed its embryonic form in China, and Wang Chao also has a group of loyal fans who belong to him, and his combat effectiveness is outstanding.
With the occurrence of Curry snatching Wang Chao's regular season MVP incident and continuing to ferment and brew, driven by some fans of Wang Chao, a wave of boycott of Curry was actually set off in China, and Curry was portrayed as a complete villain, almost to the point that everyone shouted and beat him.
When Wang Chao saw this, he was also a little speechless.
One thing to say, Curry is really a high-quality idol in the NBA league, and the only thing that can hack him is the habitual action of shaking his head and biting his teeth.
Wang Chao didn't expect that because of him, Curry didn't have time to do anything, and he had already harvested a batch of black powder first.
The horror of the combat effectiveness of Huaguo black fans, whether it is Kobe Bryant's fans or James's fans, should be deeply understood.
It's a shame that Curry, as a Mi Chinese, should not have a particularly thorough understanding of the Chinese fan circle, and I don't know how many people don't do anything every day, just trying their best to think of the black law and spray him.
And by the time the Western Conference finals are over, it is estimated that Curry's number of black fans will become even more......
——
On May 19, 2015, the first game of the Western Conference Finals officially began.
The Toyota Center Arena in Houston, the home of the Rockets, was packed, with all the fans wearing T-shirts in the Rockets' home stadium colors, and the noise and cheers came like a wave.
In the lively atmosphere, the players of the Rockets seem quite calm, with Wang Chao joining the Rockets in the 11-12 season, they have never missed the Finals, and the Western Conference Finals defeating their opponents to enter the Finals is like a routine for them, there is no difference.
On the Warriors' side, on the other hand, the tension is visible to the naked eye.
Neither Curry, Cousins, Thompson, Green, Barnes, nor even veteran Andre Iguodala have ever played in the Western Conference Finals.
Standing on such a high-level arena for the first time, nervousness is inevitable.
Among them, Green is an exception.
"Guys, what's there to be afraid of? In terms of strength, we are not weaker than them, and Stephen just defeated Wang Chao not long ago to win the regular season MVP! We're the better team! Let's win on their home turf and shut up these rowdy guys! ”
Putting aside those disgusting off-court foul actions and rebellious personalities, as a player, Green is still a type of player that the head coach of a team prefers, playing smart, passionate, daring to fight, and can also take the initiative to speak up and motivate his teammates, if he can not PUA and boxing teammates, it will be even more perfect.
Green's words did make the somewhat nervous Warriors gradually calm down.
But motivating teammates is motivating teammates, it is an indisputable fact that there is a gap between the two teams in the lineup, Green knows very well that his burden is very heavy in this game, and whether the Warriors can win depends on whether he can prevent Wang Chao.
If the defense is normal, Green doubts that no one in the whole league and even in history will be able to really limit Wang Chao, and if he wants to contain his offense, he must rely on some other things, some off-court factors......
Wang Chao, who was warming up on the other side, was keenly aware of an unkind gaze, turned his head to look, and saw Green's gaze.
The moment the two made eye contact, the other looked away.
Wang Chao's eyes narrowed slightly.
What kind of team the Warriors are, as a traverser, he couldn't be clearer, the so-called Golden State Warriors are really not just nonsense.
During the regular season, Green had a dangerous move against him in the game, but Wang Chao gave him a hard blow in turn, and Green was also whistled for technical fouling.
Wang Chao is not worried about the other party's targeting of him, the existence of steel and iron talent makes Wang Chao like a peerless master who has practiced hard for more than ten years, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hurt him in the slightest.
He's worried about Green, Bogut and his ilk doing bad things to the rest of the Rockets, especially Da Yao, who is a bloody crispy guy and a serious injury that could cost him the rest of the season.
Even if Da Yao is going to retire after this season, it is to be able to avoid injury as much as possible, from Wang Chao's personal point of view, he hopes that Da Yao can have a perfect retirement curtain call, and the best performance stage is naturally the finals.
"Be careful, we are in an advantage in terms of overall strength, be careful of playing tricks when the opponent can't beat them, if you get injured, the finals will be in trouble against the Cavaliers."
Wang Chao's advice before his debut, most of the players in the team may not be able to understand, after all, even Leonard, Butler and others are only in the fourth season of their careers, they have not played in the league for a long time, they have seen relatively few things, and their ideas are relatively simple, and they can't understand how much some people can do in order to win.
However, there are also veterans in the Rockets team, a big Yao, and a Ray. Aaron, Mo. Williams can barely count half of it.
Although this among the thunder. Allen is basically semi-retired, averaging less than 10 minutes per game in the regular season and scoring a negligible score, but his 19-year career is enough for him to accumulate a lot of experience to pass on to the rest of the Rockets' young players.
Soon the competition officially began.
Rockets starters: Wang Chao, Middleton, Butler, Leonard, Da Yao.
Warriors starters: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green, Cousins.
The starting lineups sent by both sides were the strongest during the regular season.
As the referee tosses the basketball into the sky, the game officially begins.
In the jump ball link, Da Yao won very easily, facing Cousins with almost zero bounce, 2.26 meters Da Yao can win the opponent as long as he raises his hand slightly, and the opponent obviously knows this when fighting for the ball, so he didn't look serious at all, just pretended to jump a little, and immediately turned his head back to defense.
The Rockets had the ball, Wang Chao slowly dribbled the ball over the half court, and immediately saw Green standing in front of him.
Thinking of the gazes that Green cast from time to time before the game, Wang Chao's eyes flickered and he took the initiative to speak.
"Hey rookie, how many points do you want me to score on your head in this game?"
During the regular season, Green once faced the media and threatened to prevent Wang Chao from dying, but he was slapped in the face, not to mention him, even if he and Iguodala joined forces, he failed to prevent Wang Chao, and was cut down by Wang Chao 50+, and was mercilessly ridiculed by the media after the game.
This incident has always been regarded as a great shame by Green, and he vows to return it one day.
was extremely unhappy in his heart, even if Green knew that he couldn't prevent Wang Chao with his own ability alone, he refused to show weakness at all.
"If you have the ability, you can cut another 54 points and try it, be careful to rush too hard and be wasted!"
Green's fierce expression and threatening words are matched together, and it does look quite intimidating, but it is only limited to scaring and scaring others, Wang Chao does not eat this.
"yes, I will!"
Wang Chao sneered, and suddenly accelerated his breakthrough with the ball, Green immediately moved sideways to stop him on the breakthrough route, and the two bodies collided violently, and they were slightly shocked, and then Wang Chao relied on Green all the way to force the inside line.
When rushing to the free throw line one step away, Wang Chao dribbled the ball from his left hand to his right hand, followed by a half-turned step-back jumper.
Green was not deceived by Wang Chao's fancy movements at all, and his figure always followed Wang Chao closely, jumping up and raising his hand to try to block the interference at the moment when Wang Chao shot.
But at this time, the gap between Wang Chao and Green's static talent and dynamic talent was undoubtedly revealed.
Wang Chao, who is 2.06 meters tall, is much taller than Green, who is 1.98 meters tall, and the 95 bounce ability plus the gap in dynamic jumping talent brought about by the skywalk talent makes Green unable to effectively interfere with Wang Chao at all.
"Shh——!h
The basketball went into the net, and Wang Chao scored the first goal of the game for the Rockets with a mediocre half-turn jumper.
"That's it? Are you really on the defensive? Wang Chao, who landed on the ground, shrugged at Green. I didn't see it at all when I was shooting. ”
Green was clenched by the angry teeth, and his eyes showed a fierce light, but Wang Chao had already turned around to defend himself.
In fact, with Wang Chao's current coffee position, taking the initiative to provoke and ridicule a player who has just played a little bit of a price seems a bit cheap.
But Wang Chao's move is to pull hatred, he wants to provoke Green and make him focus on himself, so as to avoid injuries to other teammates.
Wang Chao is not a hero with a fearless spirit of sacrifice, but simply the confidence brought to him by his iron talent.
He was sure that he wouldn't be afraid of any trick Green used...... Of course, the protection of the crotch still needs to be done with more attention.
