The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

After the announcement of the best team and the best defensive team, there are only a few suspenseful awards left in the regular season.

The biggest award of the entire season is the MVP of the best player in the regular season, which represents the best defensive player DPOY with the strongest defensive ability in a season, as well as the best rookie, best coach, most improved player award and best sixth man, etc. awards.

Different from the best team and the best defensive team, this kind of more intuitive personal honor awards and trophies are awarded, and the announcement time of the selection is also later. Generally, the results will not be seen until the division finals or even the finals.

The regular season MVP, Curry basically has no hope. Although the Wizards won the second 70 wins in history, Curry's personal data is much worse than other regular season MVP candidates. More importantly, Curry has been elected as the MVP of the regular season for two consecutive seasons, which also makes people feel a little tired. If Curry can still contribute 30+8 data per game this season, there is still a little possibility of competing for the MVP of the regular season. With an average 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, although Curry became the regular season MVP of the 14-15 season with a lower 23.8 points and 7.7 assists, it was Curry’s first regular season election. MVP, and the Warriors only ranked sixth in the Western Conference in the 13-14 season, and directly became the league's first in the 14-15 season with a record of 67 wins.

The Wizards of this time and space have been No. 1 in the league for three consecutive years. Even if they won 70 wins this season, they only won a few more games than the previous two seasons. Curry even dropped from 30 points per game to 24.8 points. Naturally, the commentators who voted cannot be satisfied. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

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

According to the normal trajectory of another time and space, Marc Gasol will be 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 opinion, he is not a top defensive player.

His defensive ability is entirely based on the model of the team system, rather than real personal ability.

In the 12-13 season, the Grizzlies averaged the lowest points per game in the league, and their defensive efficiency ranked first in the league. The effect is the same, or even better.

From the perspective of statistics and personal honors, as of 2019, Gasol Jr. has only entered the second team of the All-Defensive Team in the 12-13 season, and was elected to the All-Defensive Team in the same year. Selected to the All-Defensive Team this season.

So Wang Xiao feels that this season, Leonard is very likely to win the Best Defensive Player trophy by defeating Gasol Jr.

Compared with Gasol Jr., Leonard contributed significantly more to the Wizards' defensive system, and he had excellent defensive performances against top superstars such as James and Anthony many times. Starting from the team, although the Wizards averaged The points conceded ranks seventh in the league, about 6 points more than the Grizzlies average per game, but that is also related to the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition of the Wizards. The average points scored by the Wizards is unmatched at the top of the league .

...

No matter who the best defensive player is, as time goes by, the second round of the playoffs is also in full swing.

Wizards VS Nets, this matchup is also not a suspenseful game in people's eyes.

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

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

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

This is an unprecedented first time, because Jeremy Lin would go to the Wizards' bench to say hello to Wang Xiao before the start of the games between the two teams in the regular season to show their friendship.

And today he didn't do this, just expressing his determination to win this game.

Seeing Jeremy Lin who was doing warm-up training very seriously, Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing.

A few days ago, Jeremy Lin sent him a text message to apologize, saying that it was because the two teams were going to have a series matchup, and in order to be able to concentrate on the game, he would put everything aside and go all out.

Wang Xiao was not dissatisfied with Jeremy Lin's behavior, on the contrary, he was very pleased.

Great players share many of the same traits, such as outstanding talent, tenacious will, hard training... In Wang Xiao's view, the most important of these traits is competitiveness.

Facing the defending champion who won 70 wins in the regular season and was in full swing, Jeremy Lin did not show any cowardice. He was determined to win, and it was not in vain for Wang Xiao to use the first SS-level player growth template card for him.

...

From the beginning of the game, Jeremy Lin showed a strong desire to attack, but Wang Xiao was also prepared.

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

Curry's offense is at the top of the league, but his defense has always been a shortcoming. Even if his defense is enough to rank in the upper half of all point guards in the 30 teams in the league, he will still be a target for many teams. hit target.

Obviously Curry can't guard Jeremy Lin, especially when Jeremy Lin combines his own speed with Kidd's strength, Curry's defense is useless in front of him.

Seeing Jeremy Lin, who defended against Thompson without losing the slightest bit and was still able to break through and score freely, Wang Xiao couldn't help but lament the power of the growth template card.

Jeremy Lin, as the first user of the system growth template card, has fully explored the potential of the entire template card, and at the same time, the growth template card has not completely buried Jeremy Lin's own characteristics.

As a defender, Jeremy Lin's speed can also be considered top ranks, only inferior to players such as Rose, Wall, Westbrook, etc. This speed is much faster than Kidd when he was at his peak, and he is also faster than Kidd when he breaks through. Germany is much faster.

This season, relying on the perfect combination of speed and strength, Jeremy Lin's breakthrough with the ball is extremely lethal. Few point guards in the league can stop him, 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. He is the only guard in the league who can score 20 points + 10 assists this season.

Jeremy Lin, who combines the characteristics of the two guards, may have surpassed Kidd at his peak in terms of strength at this stage!
