The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 302: Second round, against the Nets

After the announcement of the best lineup and the best defensive lineup, there are only a few remaining awards in the regular season.

The biggest award of the whole season, the best player of the regular season, mvp, represents the best defensive player dpoy with the strongest defensive ability in a season, and the best rookie, best coach, fastest progress player award, and best sixth man, etc. Awards.

Unlike the best lineup and the best defensive lineup, this more intuitive personal honor awards and trophies are awarded, and the selection announcement time will be later, generally until the division finals or even the finals.

In the regular season mvp, Curry basically has little hope. Although the Wizards won the second 70-win in history, Curry's personal data is much worse than other regular season mvp candidates. More importantly, Curry has been elected to the regular season mvp for two consecutive seasons, which also gives people a little aesthetic fatigue. If Curry can still contribute an average of 30+8 per game this season, there is still a little possibility of competing for the regular season mvp. With an average score of 24.8 points, there is basically no chance.

This is different from Curry's first regular season mvp in another time and space. At that time, Curry was a 14-15 regular season mvp with a lower 23.8 points and 7.7 assists, but that was the first time Curry was elected to the regular season. mvp, and the Warriors can only be ranked sixth in the west in the 13-14 season. By the 14-15 season, they directly jumped to the first place in the league with a 67-win record. These aspects all had a bonus score for Curry at the time.

The Wizards of this time and space have been the first in the league for three consecutive years. Even if they won 70 wins this season, it is only a few more wins than the previous two seasons. Curry fell from 30 points per game to 24.8 points. Naturally, it is impossible to satisfy the commentators who voted. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance.

Curry missed the regular season mvp competition, but Leonard has a high probability of being elected the best defensive player.

According to the normal trajectory of another time and space, it will be Mark Gasol who becomes the best defensive player in the 12-13 season.

Gasol Jr. is a very good player, not inferior to his brother Paul Gasol, but in Wang Xiao's view, he is not a top defensive player.

His defensive ability is completely based on the model of the team system, rather than a true personal ability.

In the 12-13 season, the Grizzlies averaged the lowest points per game in the league and ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency, but even if Gasol Jr. was replaced by Jordan, Dunn, Tyson Chandler and other defensive centers, defensively. The effect is the same, even better.

From the perspective of data and personal honor, as of 2019, Gasol Jr. has only entered the best defensive lineup for 12-13 season and was elected the best defensive lineup in the same year. Apart from that, there is no other Selected as the best defensive lineup this season.

So Wang Xiao feels that this season, Leonard is likely to beat Gasol Jr. and win the best defensive player trophy.

Compared with Gasol Jr., Leonard's contribution to the Wizards' defensive system is significantly greater, and he has had wonderful defensive performances in the face of top stars such as James and Anthony. From the team, the Wizards averaged Lost points are only seventh in the league, losing nearly 6 points per game more than the Grizzlies, but that is also related to the Wizards’ fast-paced offensive and defensive transition. The Wizards averaged points per game but no one in the league. .

...

Regardless of who the best defensive player is, the second round of the playoffs is in full swing as time goes on.

Wizards vs. Nets, this matchup is not a suspenseful game in the eyes of people.

From the lineup to the strength of the players, the Nets have no advantage at all. The only highlight of this series is the confrontation between Wang Xiao and Jeremy Lin.

On May 6, the first game of the second round, the Wizards home.

When players from both sides warmed up on the court, Jeremy Lin did not step forward to greet Wang Xiao.

This is the first time in the world. Because of the previous regular season encounters, Jeremy Lin will go to the Wizards' bench to greet Wang Xiao before the start of the game.

And today he did not do so, it is expressing his determination to win this game.

Looking at Lin Jehao, who was extremely warm-up training, Wang Xiao could not help laughing.

A few days ago, Jeremy Lin sent him a short apology, saying that because the two teams are going to play a series matchup, in order to be able to concentrate on the game, he will put everything away and go all out.

Wang Xiao did not have any dissatisfaction with Jeremy Lin's behavior, on the contrary, he was very pleased.

Great players have many of the same qualities, such as outstanding talents, tenacious will, and hard training... And in Wang Xiao's view, the most important of these qualities is vigor.

In the face of 70 regular season wins, such as the defending champion, Jeremy Lin did not show any cowardice and was determined to win, and Wang Xiao’s first ss-level player growth template card was used by him.

...

At the beginning of the game, Jeremy Lin showed a strong offensive desire, but Wang Xiao was already prepared.

From the moment he debuted, Jeremy Lin's defender was Klay Thompson, not Curry.

Curry’s offense is the league’s top, but his defense has always been a flaw. Even if his defense is enough to rank in the first half of all the point guards of the 30 teams in the league, it will still be targeted by many teams. The target of the blow.

Obviously Curry can't prevent Jeremy Lin, especially when Jeremy Lin combines the speed of his own with Kidd's strength, Curry's defense is nothing in front of him.

Looking at the defense against Thompson, he did not fall behind, and still can easily break through to score, Jeremy Lin, Wang Xiao could not help lamenting the strength of the growth template card.

As the first user of the system growth template card, Jeremy Lin has fully tapped the potential of the entire template card. At the same time, the growth template card has not completely buried the characteristics of Jeremy Lin.

As a defender, Jeremy Lin's speed can also be regarded as the top ranks, only the players such as Xun Ross, Wall, Westbrook, etc., this speed is much faster than that of Kidd when he is at its peak, and it is also faster than Kee when he breaks through. Deco is much faster.

This season, relying on the perfect combination of speed and strength, Jeremy Lin is extremely lethal with a ball breakthrough. There are few point guards in the league that can stop it, just like LeBron James on a point guard.

Throughout the regular season, Jeremy Lin averaged 21 points, 6.5 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game, making him the only defender in the league to score 20 points and 10 assists this season.

Combined with the characteristics of two guards, Jeremy Lin, at this stage, the strength may have exceeded the peak of Kidd!
