NBA: James wants to team up with me

The second round of the playoffs is still in progress, and the league has officially announced the final awards of the regular season, including the regular season MVP that many people are thinking about.

But in fact, there is not much suspense about this award. Wang Chong easily won the 36-2010 regular season MVP with 11% of the votes. While winning the regular season MVP for the third consecutive year, he also won the MVP for the fourth time in his career. Awards.

With four regular season MVPs, Wang Chong surpassed Celtics legend Larry Bird, who won three MVPs, and caught up with legendary superstar Wilt Chamberlain, and tied with Chamberlain for third place in NBA history with four regular season MVPs.

There are only three players above this, and the two tied for second are Michael Jordan and Bill Russell. They have each won five regular season MVPs in their careers.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who ranks first, has six regular season MVPs.

Wang Chong, who has won four regular season MVPs, is only 26 years old and has a long way to go in his prime. It is not impossible to surpass Jordan, Russell and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In fact, the Alliance does not want this kind of long-term monopoly of the highest personal honor to happen. What they prefer to see is a situation where a group of heroes come together, the princes are divided, and the competition is fierce and full of attractions.

But there is no way. Wang Chong's performance this season is indeed the undisputed number one. Even if you want to find a player close to Wang Chong, it is particularly difficult.

Howard's vote rate is the highest except for Wang Chong, because he is the most qualified to compare with Wang Chong. In terms of personal data, Howard performed perfectly, scoring a career-high 22.9 points, and averaging 14.1 rebounds per game. , 1.4 steals and 2.4 blocks, the defensive dominance continues to be full.

However, the Magic's record performance is really poor, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference with only 50 wins, the same record as the fifth-placed New York Knicks.

In the selection of regular season MVP, the reference standard of team record is particularly important, unless it is an individual case with particularly explosive data performance. For example, in the 2016-17 season, when Westbrook won the MVP, the Thunder ranked only in the Western Conference with 47 wins and 35 losses. Sixth, the results cannot be seen at all.

But this season, Westbrook averaged a triple-double of 31 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game, shocking the entire league, and he won this regular season MVP.

Moreover, in the voting, Westbrook also narrowly defeated Harden with 33.8% of the votes, who received 28.6% of the votes. This MVP was not stable at all.

At that time, Harden also averaged a double-double of 29 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists per game. There was not much difference with Westbrook in other aspects except rebounds. In addition, the Rockets' record of 55 wins over the third place in the Western Conference in the regular season was indeed against Westbrook. Sbrook's regular season MVP selection poses a huge threat.

But at this stage, Howard obviously does not pose such a threat to Wang Chong. With the team's record lagging behind, Howard does not have an advantage in terms of personal data.

王崇这个赛季场均29分8.7篮板4.6助攻，得分比22.9分的霍华德高很多，篮板则只差霍华德5.4个，助攻比霍华德多3个，同时防守端1.8抢断与1.8封盖的数据也并不比霍华德差多少。

While his personal data has a slight advantage, Wang Chong's high-level data almost completely destroyed the rankings. Efficiency value, offensive efficiency, and victory contribution value all ranked first in the league. In addition to defensive efficiency, Howard ranked first in the league. In other aspects, he was only the best. Ranked third, because there is James between the two.

This directly led to Howard being at an absolute disadvantage in the competition with Wang Chong.

As for the only player who can compete with Wang Chong in terms of high-end statistics, LeBron James, there is no chance.

James, who ranked third in the MVP voting, received only 16.59% of the votes, which was more than double that of Wang Chong.

There is no way around this. James averaged 26.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7 assists per game this season. In terms of personal data, he has no advantage compared to Wang Chong. He, Wade and Bosh form the Big Three, and the lineup is unprecedentedly strong. The record is actually not as good as that of the Bulls. They are 10 games behind. How can they compete if they can't even win as a team?
Fortunately, although the regular season MVP selection was disappointing, the Heat's playoff journey was relatively smooth. After eliminating the 4ers 1:76 in the first round, the Heat met Durant in the second round, led by Pierce and others. The Boston Celtics.

Durant is still a bit young, and the Celtics' lineup is not mature enough. Compared with the Heat's Big Three in terms of game experience and ability, there is still a big gap. Currently, the Heat have taken the lead in winning the match point 3:1, which is shaky. You will be eliminated at any time.

As a result, the Heat are guaranteed to reach the Eastern Conference finals, but in the Eastern Conference finals, against the Bulls, who have already swept another group of the Big Three 4:0, it is difficult to say whether the Heat can have the last laugh.

Howard failed to compete with Wang Chong for the regular season MVP, but he still won the best defensive player DPOY without any suspense. He won the best defensive player for the third time in his career and for the third consecutive year, which also proved that Howard is good at defense. Extremely powerful dominance.

In this award, Howard has absolute dominance, with a vote rate as high as 54%. The second-ranked Bulls Garnett only received 7% of the vote.

As for other season awards, the Sixth Man of the Year went to Lamar Odom of the Lakers, and the Most Improved Player went to Kevin Love, who averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds per game.

The Rookie of the Year is the most interesting one. Blake Griffin, the No. 09 pick in 22, won the award with an average of 12+10 per game, beating John Wall, the No. 16 pick in 5, who averaged 8 points, 09 rebounds and 10 assists per game. The Rookie of the Year trophy is so disgusting to Wall. You think you, a player in , went to the th to steal my Rookie of the Year?
But there was no way. Griffin was reimbursed for the 09 season and did not play a game. Under league rules, his rookie year will not be until 10 years. No matter how unhappy Wall is, there is nothing he can do.

After the league announced the ultimate awards, the only highlights of the 2010-11 season are the Eastern and Western Conference finals and the finals.

The outcome of the second round of the showdown has gradually become clear.

In the East, although the Celtics relied on the performance of Durant and Pierce to pull back a game, they were unable to make a comeback. They lost to the Heat with a big score of 2:4. The latter successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference finals and was about to face three games. The Chicago Bulls, the reigning dynasty champions.

In the West, the Spurs easily defeated the Thunder 4:1. The upper limit of the configuration of Westbrook + Griffin is there. In the matchup, Westbrook does not have much advantage against Tony Parker, and Griffin is even more mature. Duncan suppressed everything. Even if the Thunder had Ray Allen, he was no match for the Spurs.

But the results of another set of matchups in the Western Conference surprised everyone.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks. Both teams had 57 wins during the regular season. They seem to be about the same. However, considering the Lakers' super lineup, the media generally believes that the Lakers will defeat the Mavericks and enter the Western Conference Finals, and even defeat them again. The possibility of entering the finals and competing with the Bulls is very high.

But the results were shocking.

The Lakers, who had reached the Finals for three consecutive years, were unable to fight back against the Mavericks. They were swept out by the Mavericks 4-0 like autumn leaves.

In fact, even Wang Chong didn't expect it, because the current Mavericks are slightly different from the Mavericks in the 10-11 season in his impression. The biggest difference is that the starting point guard Jason Kidd went to the opposite Lakers. .

Even though Kidd only averaged 10 points and 11 assists per game in the 8-8 season, which seems to be dispensable, he is still very important to the Mavericks. Not only does he play a role in organizing and connecting the entire team on the offensive end, , on the defensive end, he can be used as a leading outside defender to guard against some more difficult opponents.

Unexpectedly, the Mavericks were able to sweep the Lakers 4-0 without Kidd. Their main response was to put substitute Jose Barea in the starting point guard position, and his average playing time increased to 25 minutes per game. Barea's organizational ability is definitely not as good as Kidd's, but Barea can make up for Kidd's biggest weakness in scoring.

In addition, the biggest difference between this Mavericks team and the original one is Caron Butler at the forward position.

Butler, who had been a teammate with Wang Chong in the Lakers for one year, although the trajectory of his career has not changed, he still went to the Wizards to form the Big Three with Arenas and Jamison, who performed well in his career, and was subsequently eliminated last season. Traded to Dallas.

However, due to the butterfly effect, Butler, who was supposed to suffer a season-ending injury at the beginning of the 10-11 season, has always maintained a healthy competitive state and shared playing time with Shawn Marion at the small forward position. He can contribute 14.2 points, 4 rebounds and 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds, which greatly improves the strength of the Mavericks' forward position.

Under the circumstances, the strength of the Mavericks has not been greatly affected.

What Wang Chong didn't expect was that with the addition of Kidd, the Lakers' combat effectiveness should be stronger than in the original 10-11 season. However, they still couldn't escape the fate of being swept against the Mavericks.

The Lakers were defeated by the Mavericks, and the Western Conference Finals matchup became a traditional show in the Western Conference.

Judging from the state of the Spurs this season, I'm afraid they are no match for the Mavericks. The Dallas Mavericks really may make it all the way to the finals.

If the Miami Heat are waiting for him in the finals, Nowitzki may really win the only championship in his career, but it will be extremely valuable and valuable.

But unfortunately, what awaits the Mavericks in the finals will most likely be the Chicago Bulls. Wang Chong is not James. There is no chance of an eight-point release of military power in the finals, which will not give the Mavericks any opportunity to take advantage.

But before that, the first thing Wang Chong and the Bulls have to solve is the Miami Heat who will face off in the Eastern Conference finals.

Heat Big Three vs. Wang Chong.

This matchup was promoted by the league before the start of the regular season. At that time, everyone believed that if any team could beat the Bulls in the new season, it would only be the Heat. After all, the trio of Wade + James + Bosh The combination of giants is really shocking.

But after four games in the regular season, many people's views have changed.

The Big Three don't seem to be as strong as expected, especially when facing the Bulls, they are always beaten.

James and Wade are slightly better. Bosh almost never took advantage against Garnett and was always beaten one-sidedly.

This directly caused the Heat's Big Three to become a Big Two configuration.

The biggest disadvantage for the Heat against the Bulls is always the inside line. Gasol's favorite thing is to play against the Heat, because against the Heat, he can be the team's main offensive point, making waves in the Heat's penalty area. Who can let their inside line go? The level is very weak?
Even in the playoffs, the Heat's internal problems have still not been solved.

In the second round, they defeated the Celtics 4:2. Green Army center Al Jefferson caused them no less trouble than Durant. In 6 games, Jefferson averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds per game. The Heat were in dire straits, and thanks to Wade James who averaged 30 points and 28 points per game, they just relied on their super offensive ability from the outside to win the game.

But now that they are about to face the Bulls, the uneasiness in the hearts of Miami fans cannot be calmed down no matter what. Can they really compete with the Bulls? ——
2011 5 Month 5 Day.

United Center in Chicago.

The first game of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals went on as scheduled.

The Bulls' home court was packed with local Chicago fans who came to watch the game, and everyone was looking forward to the start of the game of the century.

The atmosphere in the Bulls locker room was very relaxed.

"The Heat are our old rivals. Everyone should know that as long as we perform normally, the other party cannot be our opponent."

With a smile on his face, Wang Chong said to the players relaxedly: "But having said that, we must not underestimate the enemy. After all, the opponent has two top superstars in James and Wade. If we underestimate the opponent, we may really lose the game." of!"

"That's right." Head coach Tom Thibodeau took over the topic and continued: "We must remember that we must not be anxious in the game against the Heat. We must firmly control the rhythm of the game in our own hands and fight with position. Focus on the main goal, avoid fast-break confrontations with the Heat, use the height advantage of the inside, crush the opponent, and enter the finals! The fourth consecutive championship is beckoning to us!"

A moment later, players from both teams appeared on the stage and handed over the starting list at the same time.

The Heat's starting lineup has been optimized and adjusted during the regular season and has become a starting lineup of Mike Bibby, Wade, James, Bosh and Joel Anthony.

When the Heat players saw the Bulls' starting lineup, their hearts jumped.

The Bulls' starting lineup actually made slight adjustments in this game. Billups, the main starting lineup, was placed on the bench. His replacement was substitute Danny Green.

The Bulls' starting lineup became Curry, Green, Wang Chong, Garnett and Gasol.

The intention of such an adjustment to the starting lineup is very obvious. The Bulls want to use Danny Green's single defense ability to limit Wade's performance at the shooting guard position.

In the second half of the regular season and even in the playoffs, although the Bulls went through all the obstacles and defeated many strong opponents, they also exposed their weaknesses. They were not able to defend small breakthrough players on the outside, especially in the second round. On the Knicks, Knicks guard Rose's breakthrough with the ball posed a great threat to the Bulls' defense.

Wade's breakthrough lethality is only better than Rose's, at least before the knee injury worsened.

That's why the Bulls made adjustments to the starting shooting guard. Although Danny Green's current defensive ability has not reached the peak of his future, he is still a young man, and his speed and reaction ability are much better than Billups. Even if Wade can't be guarded, he can still have some interference effect. With the help of Garnett inside, the effect will definitely be much better. (End of chapter)
