NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

After the first game of the second round, the NBA officially announced the next heavyweight regular season honor - the best defensive player. If it is according to the rules, the best defensive player will definitely be in the best defensive team. But this year's NBA has done another big job!

This year's Defensive Player of the Year was actually awarded to second-team center Marc Gasol! There are six people in the best team, but none of these six people aspired to the final DPOY award!

The subsequent voting results for the Best Defensive Player came out. There were a total of 121 first-place votes. Marc Gasol only received 30 of them. The second-ranked player was Li Kaiming, who received 18 first-place votes and ranked third. The winner was LeBron James, who received 14 first-place votes. This year’s voting for the best defensive player is all about equal participation. The final winner actually received less than a quarter of the votes. This is considered a kind of What a spectacle!

But when the news reached China, Chinese fans soon guessed the truth: If Gasol is not the best defensive player, then Li Kaiming will become the best defensive player this season, that is, After winning the regular season MVP last season, Li Kaiming had a chance to win the best defensive player this season. However, because of some ulterior secrets, the NBA would rather risk the world's disapproval and take the best defensive player. The defensive players gave it to Gasol in the second defensive team, but not to Li Kaiming!

"These Americans are so stingy. Didn't they just defeat your dream team in the Olympics? They didn't even give you the best defensive player?"

"It seems that this so-called freedom is not complete freedom! At least David Stern still has to take into account the emotions of his domestic fans..."

"Maybe it's because Li Kaiming rose so fast that these arrogant Americans didn't even think that if this trend continued, even Jordan's status as the God of Basketball might not be guaranteed. No wonder they want to suppress Li Kaiming..."

There was a wave of heated discussions between Huaguo's online forums and fans. Naturally, they thought about this issue from Li Kaiming's perspective, so it is understandable that the perspective is more extreme.

Originally, this discussion was still within a relatively small scope, and most people complained and regretted that Li Kaiming did not win the DPOY award. However, when the regular season MVP was announced, this statement immediately became the norm in China. The consensus of most fans!

The next day, NBA officials and major American sports media simultaneously announced the 2012-2013 regular season MVP winner: forward Li Kaiming from the Washington Wizards won this honor for two consecutive years!

Originally, the Chinese fans were very happy and celebrated on their social media that the backbone of the Chinese men's basketball team had once again achieved a great honor. However, after the subsequent voting results were announced, people in China and even America immediately It caused an uproar!

Li Kaiming is the league's scoring leader and rebounding leader this season, and all five basic statistics rank in the top ten in the league. The Wizards achieved a record-breaking 69 wins and 13 losses in team history. In this case, Li Kaiming actually only won 121st. The 61 votes in one vote are only 1 ahead of second-ranked James. In other words, this regular season MVP almost belongs to James!

Moreover, 61 of Li Kaiming’s 2 votes were cast by Chinese media. One was a reporter representative from China’s official sports channel, and the other was a reporter representative from Sohu Sports. If China does not have the right to vote, then Li Kaiming will not have the right to vote. When James is completely crushed by record or data, this group of Americans will actually vote for James as the MVP!

When seeing this result, all Chinese fans were angry!

"If you feel that Li Kaiming has influenced your country's stars to achieve honors, you can directly expel him from the league? No need to pretend to vote!"

"No wonder he doesn't want to give the best defensive player to Li Kaiming. If he is allowed to win the MVP and the best defensive player in one season, then Li Kaiming will simply hang up the American players in the league. His historical status will be comparable to those in the NBA. Celebrity, how can an American professional league lose face like this?"

"I really can't afford it. I'm coveting China's huge market and at the same time openly rejecting Chinese players. I'm really picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to curse! What do you think Chinese fans are? Beggars?"

"The NBA must apologize for this!"

"Damn it, Li Kaiming, beat James hard in the playoffs and show those American guys that he and James are not players of the same level at all!"

"that is!"

……

Although this process was a bit nauseating, Li Kaiming still won two consecutive regular season MVPs without any danger, and he also became the first player in NBA history to follow Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Russell The 11th player to win the regular season MVP for two consecutive years after Liburd, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash and LeBron James.

Of course, he is also the youngest of the group.

From the perspective of the regular season, Li Kaiming has basically achieved all the honors he has achieved this season, including a double team, three consecutive scoring champions, rebounding champions, second in DPOY, two consecutive MVPs, and ESPN listed Li Kaiming’s achievements this season. A poster was made with regular season honors and statistics, and there was an ellipse below the poster, and finally there was the O'Brien Cup pattern, with a big title written on it:

Short of the most dominant season in history?

Although this is a question, the pattern on the poster has given ESPN its own answer. As long as Li Kaiming can lead the Wizards to win the championship this season, his performance this season will be the greatest in NBA history in the eyes of ESPN. season!

America's well-known online basketball media Ranker listed Li Kaiming's career honors so far on their official Twitter:

An Olympic gold medal.

A championship.

Two consecutive regular season MVPs.

A finals MVP trophy.

Three scoring champions and one rebounding champion.

Three consecutive All-NBA First Team selections and one All-Defensive First Team selection.

One-time All-Rookie selection.

And at the end of the tweet, he asked America’s fans: How high do you think this guy can rank in history? Where does he rank at the power forward position?

Fans in the comment area started a heated debate about this, but even those who no longer blame Li Kaiming have to admit the fact that Li Kaiming, who has these honors and records, can already stand unceremoniously. Among the top [-] positions in NBA history, as for the power forward position, perhaps only Tim Duncan, the number one power forward in history, can stabilize Li Kaiming...

Shortly after this tweet was issued, Ranker officials also gave their own ranking. They ranked Li Kaiming 20th in NBA history, beating Charles Barkley, Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki. A familiar figure ranked second behind Tim Duncan at the power forward position, and this result also caused a big explosion in the American fan circle!

Many fans believe that although Li Kaiming's current performance is very good, he is still too young after all. He has not accumulated enough honors and various records in the regular season to surpass those great gods. However, many fans also think that Li Kaiming is ranked at this position. It was so appropriate that the two sides launched a protracted debate about it...

If the historical status is judged based on the accumulation of data, then the god of basketball in the NBA should not be Jordan, but Chamberlain. After all, the latter has put up a lot of data. It can be said bluntly that it is impossible for anyone to break it within the scope of current basketball. .

What's more, basketball is a competitive sport. To see who is better, you should see how much you win. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, if you win more in the regular season, you will be the regular season MVP or a first-team player. If you win more in the playoffs, you will be the MVP. champion.

After all, basketball is played on the court, not a numerical game or Excel. To evaluate a person's historical status should be judged by whether he can lead the team to win. If you only look at the data, then some people will "check my data." "Let's" written on the T-shirt will make the person jump with excitement!

Some current American fans cannot accept that Li Kaiming has entered the top 20 in history, or even cannot accept that the reason why Li Kaiming has become the number one player in the league is that this guy is Chinese, and the most important thing is that he is only 22 years old. Under the age of 23, this is simply unacceptable to many Americans who are arrogant in their bones. They can never admit that their professional league is dominated by a Chinese, and this Chinese is still using his skills to Harvesting honor at terrifying speed...

Li Kaiming doesn't pay much attention to these discussions on the Internet. First of all, he will not go out in person to argue with the fans about where he should be ranked. That is what some petty and sensitive people do. Secondly, he prefers to be on the court. In terms of performance, since some people feel that they are not worthy of being ranked in the top 20 in history, then he will smash the faces of these guys and make them admit that they said the wrong thing.

Conquering people with virtue is not Li Kaiming's style. He prefers to conquer ten groups with one force!

After he won the regular season MVP, the happiest thing was not Li Kaiming himself, but his good brother Elliott Williams who stayed at his home.

"Brother, don't say anything anymore. I'm going to hold your thigh tightly for the next contract. We will also play brother basketball. The two Memphis Tigers will dominate the league!" Williams exclaimed excitedly!

Li Kaiming smiled faintly, "It's a pity that you came at the wrong time. We already have Klay Thompson. Between you and him, I believe the management is still more inclined to choose him..."

"Then I can also try to play small forward."

"Do you remember that facial paralysis? Do you think you are stronger than him?"

"Then this won't work, that won't work either. I can't play center, right?"

"You can come to the Wizards to play as a substitute..."

Williams: "..."

Hearing Li Kaiming's teasing answer, Williams' face almost turned dark. After all, my brother is also a scoring expert averaging 15 points per game this season, but you can only play as a substitute? Who do you look down on?

"Don't you want to try what it feels like to be the best sixth man? It's much more comfortable to touch your own trophy than to touch mine..." When Li Kaiming's seductive voice sounded in his ears, Williams immediately jumped. Get up!

"Brother, I want to! Of course I want to!"
