NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 208 Unanimous vote + three consecutive MVPs, active No.1!
The award for the best defensive player was finally decided in the fierce competition between Tyson Chandler and Serge Ibaka.

Tyson Chandler was elected as the best defensive player in the 28.66-11 season with 12% of the votes, and Ibaka won the second place with 27.10% of the votes. The Magic's poor record only ranked third with 17.14% of the vote.

Although Howard was selected for the best defensive first team, and Chandler was only the center of the best defensive second team, but the selection mechanism was different, so that Chandler successfully came from behind and defeated the two defensive first team competitors with the position of the defensive second team , was elected the best defensive player.

Of course, the Best Defensive Player Award, no matter how nice it sounds, is only a blue-collar award after all. It is an honor that is icing on the cake, but it is not necessary for top stars.

In the long regular season season, there is no doubt that there is only one award with the largest gold content and the most valuable value, and that is the regular season MVP.

This is the highest honor that can only be obtained by a true top superstar. Just like the championship, only one will appear in a season, and the gold content and rarity are the highest in the league!
In fact, there is no suspense at all about the results of this year's regular season MVP selection.

Before the league announces the final selection results, everyone has already guessed who will win.

The regular season record is the first, and the exaggerated data of 40+8+8 can be obtained per game. It has won the most 60+, 50+, 40+ and even 30+ scoring times this season, and scored 400 three-pointers in a single season. ...

Wang Chao's performance during the regular season was too strong.

Whether it is personal performance, team record or contribution to the victory of the game, etc., Wang Chao is undoubtedly the number one in the league. Even James, Kobe, Durant and others stand far behind.

When the gap is too obvious, there can be no suspense about the results of the selection vote.

And it did.

The voting results showed that Wang Chao got 38.46% of the votes, far surpassing all other candidates. The second-ranked James only got 19.3% of the votes, and Durant got 17.8%.

What is even more surprising is that Wang Chao got the first votes from all media reporters, with a 100% vote rate, becoming the first player in history to be unanimously elected MVP!
When Wang Chao learned of the voting results, he was surprised.

Unanimous MVP, this is an honor that Curry can only get in the future. I didn't expect that I would experience a wave of unanimous MVP first.

The first unanimous MVP in the history of the league, this honor is unique, and it is really quite difficult to get the unanimous approval of all media reporters who participated in the voting.

Curry can be elected unanimously in the future. His efficient performance is one aspect, and the shock brought by the Warriors' 73 regular season wins to everyone is another aspect.

And Wang Chao was able to get unanimous votes, naturally because of the shock of averaging 40+8+8 per game.

This is the third regular season MVP trophy in Wang Chao's career, and it has been won for three consecutive years. Looking at the history of the league, there are only three players who can achieve three consecutive MVPs. If Bill Russell and Wilt in ancient times are removed Chamberlain, as only Larry Bird ever did.

Three consecutive MVPs plus unanimous election, the buff effect is almost stacked, plus Wang Chao's four crowns in hand, looking at the current league, there is no player who can compare with Wang Chao in terms of honor.

The scary thing is that it is only the eighth season of Wang Chao's career. If only counting the time traveled, it is only six and a half seasons.

Kobe is currently 4 crowns, 1 MVP and 1 FMVP.

Duncan is 3 crowns 2MVP3FMVP.

As for the other players, they are completely unqualified to compare their honors with Wang Chao.

James, who joined the NBA a year earlier than Wang Chao, currently has only one regular season MVP. Counting this one in the 11-12 season, Wang Chao has already snatched two MVPs, which is the biggest victim.

Durant has not even won a scoring title so far because of Wang Chao.

As someone in the Jordan era commented.

The emergence of a cross-age superstar is a tragedy for players of the same generation.
-
The results of the regular season MVP selection were announced, which aroused heated discussions. At the same time, the situation of the semifinals in the Eastern and Western Divisions of the league gradually became clear.

In the west, the final score between the Thunder and the Spurs was fixed at 4:2.

The Thunder's lineup has not changed much from the original history. On the contrary, the Spurs were affected by Wang Chao and lost Leonard. Even though Leonard's combat effectiveness in the rookie season was limited, without him is a lack of combat effectiveness.

With the Thunder advancing, the Western Conference Finals matchup is the Houston Rockets vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder.

On the Eastern side, the Celtics and the Heat also eliminated their opponents to advance to the Eastern Conference finals. The meeting of the old and new Big Three will surely break out a fierce battle.

The Rockets' opponent, the Thunder, can be regarded as the most difficult opponent in the West.

The current Kevin Durant is already one of the strongest scorers with stronger and more stable scoring ability than Kobe... If there is no Wang Chao, there is no problem calling him the strongest.

Although under the influence of Wang Chao, he has not won a scoring champion so far, but Durant's scoring is still real, and even because he wants to compete with Wang Chao, he has scored more points than before.

At present, Durant has surpassed Kobe in many youngest scoring records, becoming the second in league history, such as the youngest in the league with 2000 points, 3000 points, and 4000 points.

Of course, almost all of the youngest records in league history are held by James.

Regarding this record, it has nothing to do with Wang Chao. After all, he was 21 years old when he joined the league. There is a huge gap between Kobe and James who joined the league at the age of 18, and Durant who joined the league at the age of 19 and a few days. Wang Chao didn't play much in the first season, and he basically couldn't catch up.

Durant is now recognized by the league as the strongest scorer under Wang Chao.

Moreover, besides him, the Thunder also have Russell Westbrook, whose efficiency value is not inferior to Rose, and the best sixth man, Harden, the famous Thunder junior.

A team has three players who can win the regular season MVP as the core of the team. Looking at the history of the league, it is also the first time.

Wang Chao must admire the vision of the Thunder team management is really strong.

Durant in 07, Westbrook in 08, and Harden in 09 are all the best or even the strongest rookies in their respective years, except for Harden in 09, because there was Stephen in that year.Curry's presence.

Some people may say that Rose is stronger than Westbrook when he is healthy, but that is just on paper. Westbrook is taller, stronger, and even faster than Rose, and when Westbrook won the regular season MVP, he averaged The triple-double data of 30+10+10 is completely incomparable to Rose's MVP season.

Although Westbrook's average triple-double is suspected of being able to record data, even if he did, he did it. There are so many players in the league who want to record data, and how many of them can really achieve a record. Triple-double and the league's best efficiency value?

What's more, Westbrook not only averaged a triple-double in one season, but he also averaged a triple-double in several seasons later. This is really not a level that ordinary players can achieve.

The topic is too far away, let's get down to business.

The Thunder's offensive ability is extremely strong, especially when the Thunder's three young men are on the court at the same time. Westbrook charges into the battle, Durant provides stable output from medium and long distances, and Harden sits behind and controls the ball. It can be called the strongest outside line in the league. Combination, none of them.

Their only weakness is inside.

Although power forward Ibaka became the block leader with an average of 3.7 blocks per game, he only ranked second in the selection of the best defensive player with a strong defense and frame protection ability, but his frame protection It is mainly aimed at outside players who break through with the ball.

With a height of 2 meters and a weight of 08 kilograms, Ibaka's defensive effect is not good when facing the inside heavy center, and his rebounding ability can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

In order to make up for Ibaka's shortcomings, the Thunder specially traded the well-known defensive blue-collar center Kendrick Perkins to strengthen the defensive ability at the basket.

But in the face of the Rockets' traditional big center Yao with a height of 2 meters, Perkins is not enough to look at.

Before the Western Conference Finals game, the Rockets formulated a set of tactics against the Thunder, using Dayao as the core point of offense to penetrate the Thunder's defense line inside.

On May 5, the first game of the Western Conference Finals began as scheduled.

When the Rockets home fans saw the team's starting lineup, they couldn't help but startled.

Unlike when they played against the Lakers, the Rockets' starting lineup for the Western Conference Finals has changed a lot.

The starting five are Courtney Lee, Korver, Leonard, Wang Chao and Dayao.

The team didn't have a point guard?

Fans who know a little bit about penalty kicks immediately figured out the reason after a little thought.

When Thomas Jr. faced the Lakers, it was because the Lakers lacked a strong point guard, and Sessions and others couldn't keep up with his speed.

But the Thunder is different. Westbrook is not a vegetarian. His speed is at the top among point guards. Westbrook, who is 1 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms, and Thomas Jr., who is only 91 meters and weighs 1 kilograms Alignment is almost like misalignment.

If Thomas Jr. starts the game like he did with the Lakers, then Westbrook will definitely tear the Rockets' defense to pieces.

The Rockets obviously wanted Courtney Lee to defend Westbrook.

Courtney Lee is 1 meters tall and weighs about 96 kilograms the same as Westbrook. He is good at defense and has very good footwork and lateral movement speed. Even though his speed is slightly slower than Westbrook, he is still the best in the Rockets. The defense chose.

As for the problem of not having a point guard, it is not a problem for the Rockets at all. Originally, the point guard who held the ball the most on the Rockets was not the point guard but Wang Chao. During the regular season, the Rockets point guard did the most things Just dribble across half court and pass the ball to Wang Chao, nothing more.

The Thunder’s starting five haven’t changed from the semifinals. They are still Westbrook, Thabo Sefoloza, Durant, Ibaka and Perkins, and Harden is on the bench. On the table, he acted as the team's sixth man in a well-behaved manner.

Dayao won with a jump ball by virtue of his height advantage, and the Rockets had the ball to attack.

Courtney Lee passed the ball to Wang Chao immediately after receiving the ball, and the players on both sides settled down.

Facing Ibaka with the ball, Wang Chao did not choose to play singles with the ball at the first time, but directly lobbed the ball to Dayao who was already standing inside.

With his back against Perkins, Dayao received a pass from Wang Chao, turned around and shot with a small hook, and the basketball fell into the net lightly.

Perkins raised his head, and didn't even have time to raise his hand. In fact, even if he raised his hand to interfere, his hand could only reach the top of Dayao's head at most, and could not reach Dayao's arm at all.

The small hook is one of Dayao's inside tricks. He has already practiced to the point where he can judge the distance to the basket and the strength of the shot angle based on his position without looking at the basket.

When confronting the Lakers, facing the Lakers' inside twin towers, Wang Chao arranged Dayao to pull to the free throw line to take advantage of his shooting range.

But when the opponent is a blue-collar center like Perkins, Dayao doesn't need to pull out from the outside line at all, and can easily blow up the opponent even inside.

Perkins, who weighs just over 120 kilograms, is not Bynum, who is close to 130 kilograms. His tonnage, height, wingspan, and even foot speed are much worse than Bynum's.

The Thunder have the ball.

After Durant ran halftime, his expression paused slightly.

Because he found that the person standing in front of him was actually Wang Chao.

It is not once or twice that Durant and Wang Chao have played against each other, but unless it is a temporary change of defense, in most cases the player who defends him is not Wang Chao.

During the Magic period, it was usually Channing Frye or Trevor Ariza who defended Durant.

After Wang Chao joined the Rockets this season, he played against the Thunder four times in the regular season, and Leonard was responsible for defending Durant.

The two super scorers seem to have reached a tacit understanding. The Thunder will not let Durant guard Wang Chao, and the Rockets will not let Wang Chao guard Durant.

After all, both of them are the players with the strongest scoring ability in the league. It is not easy to prevent them. Instead of letting the player with the strongest scoring ability in his team consume energy and energy to do futile things, it is better to leave it to other players. Can't help it.

But now, Wang Chao stopped in front of Durant.

This guy, you don't think he can prevent me, do you?
Durant thought a little angrily in his heart.

Although Wang Chao's performance on the defensive end in the past two seasons has been praised by many people, and even this season's average of 2.1 steals per game but not being selected for the best defensive team has caused a lot of controversy, but even so, if you want to guard him It's too arrogant.

Thinking this way in his heart, Durant directly raised his hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball to him for singles.

But just as he raised his hand, he saw Westbrook speeding up with the ball in a disguised form, rushing towards the inside line without hesitation.

Courtney Lee's speed was a bit difficult for Westbrook, but he was not completely thrown away by the opponent. When Westbrook rushed to the penalty area and threw the basketball towards the basket, Dayao Breaking out from one side, a volleyball smash directly slapped Westbrook's layup.

Durant: "..."
