Chapter 664 [No one competes to win the MVP? 】
As the season deepened, all teams chose to strictly prevent Guo Xu from scoring and let other Suns shoot. It was difficult for him to score more than 50 points, and his average score was declining.
Throughout the history of NBA, there have been many scoring players, and there are scoring champions every season. However, for any NBA player, it is not easy to average 30 points per game in a season, and not every season's scoring champion can reach 30+ per game.
Being able to average 30+ per game in a season is a superstar. This is why Iverson still has a large number of fans. It is of course much more difficult for Guo Xu to average 40+ per game.
The difficulty of Kobe and Iverson scoring high scores also increased. In order to defend Guo Xu, each team has a strategy to deal with super scorers, which is to rather not double-team without the ball than let the stars play singles easily.
Double-team Kobe and Iverson, two people who most of the shots were close to the basket, must be much easier than double-teaming Guo Xu. Both of them began to decline and it was difficult to catch the ball.
The Lakers' schedule is different from Guo Xu's previous life. They fought against the Raptors away in January. Although the Raptors lost the game, they blocked the penalty area and Kobe only scored 36 points.
The Lakers and the Mavericks played two games, and Kobe scored 43 points and 51 points respectively, but they were not as strong as the sky.
After Caron Butler's comeback this month, the Lakers have an offensive trident, and Kobe must score the ball. It's a dream to score more than 35 points.
Kobe couldn't do it without a score. "Zen Master" Jackson would transform into Tang Monk, teach him the importance of the team. He didn't hear it ten times, and he didn't hear it ten times.
When Kobe's style of play became reasonable, the Lakers' offense flourished and their record began to improve. It's okay to enter the playoffs like this, but the inside still has fatal weaknesses.
Bogut is now moving towards the blue-collar direction, and his defensive ability is not bad at the penalty area, but the Lakers' substitute center is a little worse and has no range. The effect is not as good as Guo Xu's previous life's Mim and Kwame Brown share their playing time.
Turiav was a second round rookie in 2005. He was brave enough but he was a rough guy who couldn't make shooting. He performed very poorly in every game and would be freed from outside the penalty area on the offensive end.
Only Odom is the supportive inside player, and the Lakers' ball is not running well enough. In fact, there is a way to solve it, let Butler or Luke Walton play as a power forward, Odom plays as a center, and both forwards have a good passing vision.
However, Jackson does not like to play small ball tactics, and his defensive weaknesses are obvious. Moreover, the Lakers' small ball tactics cannot play sharp running and bombing like the Suns, so they do not have a point guard who is good at launching fast attacks.
To put it bluntly, the Lakers win by singles, which is too easy to be seen through by their opponents and rely on the players' feel, and the playoffs won't work.
In early February, the Spurs lost two games, with a loss of 10 games, and were wide open by the Suns.
Guo Xu has won the Western Conference Player of the Month for the third consecutive month with his super data, and the Player of the Week has won more times.
Now no one in the Western Conference can compete with Guo Xu for the regular season MVP this season. The Spurs, Grizzlies and Clippers have not much record behind the Suns, but the data of the stars cannot be compared with Guo Xu.
Choose an inside player who does not sell shoes as an MVP, let alone fans, even the sneaker sponsors will not agree.
The situation in the East is also embarrassing, with the Pistons ranked first, with a record of the same as the Suns and only losing six games.
After Philip Sanders became the Pistons coach, the team performed very well. Daben won all the six games absent, and was completely unaffected by the battle between Auburn Mountain Palace.
But the Pistons win by team, so the stars will definitely not be able to get MVP. The best performance is Billups, who averaged less than 20 points per game, and he is not even as popular as a double-digit assist. He is even less popular. He is a second-rate star who can barely be selected into the star game in the league and cannot be a second-rate star.
The Eastern Conference powerful Pacers who reached the finals last year were ggled directly, with multiple players suspended and their strength dropped sharply.
The Heat's performance was not good after introducing Antoine Walker, mainly relying on Wade and O'Neal. No matter how good Wade's data is, he cannot compete for MVP without a good record.
The only chance to compete with Guo Xu for MVP is LeBron James, who currently averages 30 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.3%. His three-point shooting percentage was 33.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 73.8%.
The Cavaliers ranked second in the Eastern Conference, with a 5-game gap between them and the Suns. If they can come from behind and surpass the Suns, the league will consider giving MVP to James, but the chance is not great.
The Cavaliers have strong inside strength. The combination of Ilgoskasgabuzel is not afraid of any team in the league, but the Cavaliers have weaknesses on the outside, and their point guards and point guards are poor.
The Cavaliers are responsible for the offense with the ball and the task of organizing offenses. The guards are responsible for defense and receiving and shooting. Their No. 1 position is extremely weak, veteran Eric Snow, and substitute is Damon Jones.
Moreover, James has a disadvantage. He is too young. This is only his third season of his career, and he is still in the weaker East. As a high school student who enters the NBA, if James wins the award this year, he will break the youngest MVP historical record created by Guo Xu, and he will not be convinced.
Even if the Mavericks and Kings lineups are worse, the competition in the West is still fierce, because the Jazz and Grizzlies have become stronger. Especially the Grizzlies have more Randolph and Dunleavy is like Tiger Tianyi, and can compete with any team.
The Jazz had a good running-in after the start of the season. In early January, the Warriors exchanged point guard Derek Fisher, strengthening the weakest No. 1 position, and recently played a six-game winning streak.
Even if Guo Xu is a reborn person, he cannot use the means of breaking down his opponent's lineup to win the championship. If he is not strong enough, ambition team will strengthen him. He will make up for whatever position he lacks, and find a suitable replacement. There are so many players in the league that can be traded, how can Guo Xu finish it?
Solar's best record depends on the depth of the lineup, Guo Xu's personal ability, and the careful supervision of the coaching staff.
After Guo Xu returned from leveling, the Suns' cooperation became more and more tacit, and the players all showed confidence.
Guo Xu used the Suns in his previous life as a reference and believed that the team's overall strength was stronger than the Suns led by Nash.
The team was missing four players, Marion, Barbosa, Dior, and Cote Thomas, but Josh Howard, Ariza, David Lee, Valejo, Haslem, Payton, Blake and many others were added.
Guo Xu's scoring ability is comparable to that of Nashga Marion. The team's overall offensive firepower is not worse than that of the Sun, but its defense is stronger than that of the Sun. It is precisely because there is no obvious weakness on the defensive end that Guo Xu often lets the water out when playing against weak teams.
In order to strengthen defense in his previous life, D'Antoni did not dare to let Marion rest, and averaged 40.3 minutes per game. This was the reason why Marion later dared to ask the management for a high salary. He felt that he was indispensable.
David Lee, like Tim Thomas, who joined the Suns in the mid-term, is a strong offense and weak inside line, rebounding and offensive efficiency are better than that person.
The coaching staff's supervision is reflected in warning players not to jump around and use the floor-flowing method collectively, and they really can't afford to hurt them.
Judging from others' perspectives, Guo Xu has already defied the sky this season. He led a group of character players and marginalized people to achieve the best record, not even a star-first leader. This is something that has never happened in NBA history.
Espn said that Guo Xu is the single-core team leader and is competing for the best regular season record with his weakest teammates in history. If the Suns defend their title successfully this year, Guo Xu has only five championships, which can be said to surpass Jordan. Jordan will never do this.
