"In the regular season MVP selection, Wang Feng narrowly defeated Antetokounmpo by 3 points and won the regular season MVP for the fourth consecutive year."
"Make history! The first four-consecutive regular season MVP winner in the history of the league was born! Wang Feng created a miracle and became the new historical record holder! It is amazing that Wang Feng, who has achieved such a brilliant achievement, still has nearly half a year until he is 29 years old.
!His legend will continue!”
"Wang Feng and the Lakers have successfully reached the finals for the third consecutive year. Can they win three consecutive championships this season? Can Wang Feng's personal number of championships reach six? Let's wait and see!"
In China, all kinds of news about Wang Feng are overwhelming, and all kinds of front-page headlines have almost completely filled the screen.
On the contrary, in the United States, Wang Feng's fourth consecutive regular season MVP was only briefly mentioned.
There is no way, Wang Feng can win the fourth consecutive regular season MVP, which itself is a collective overturning incident of media reporters. No one expected this situation. I originally thought that Wang Feng ranked second in the MVP with a relatively small gap.
It makes sense. After all, he averages 40+10+10 per game. Why should he be given some ranking? Otherwise, where is the "fairness" of the media?
Unexpectedly, other colleagues had the same idea, which led to Wang Feng's second-place vote count being so ridiculously high. He actually defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo with 3 points, which turned the boat over in the gutter.
Wang Feng has won four consecutive regular season MVPs. A Chinese player showing off so powerfully in the NBA has already brought disgrace to the American basketball community. If it continues to be widely reported, doesn't it mean that they have no players in the United States who can compete with Wang Feng?
The American media chose to treat the incident coldly.
The biggest loser in the regular season MVP award, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo, is even more unhappy.
I originally thought that the first regular season MVP of his career was finally coming. Before the voting results were announced, Antetokounmpo had always been the most popular to win the award, and even suppressed Wang Feng for a time.
Unexpectedly, when the voting results were announced, the regular season MVP was actually Wang Feng again!
This is the third consecutive season!
Since the 2018-19 season, Wang Feng and Giannis Antetokounmpo have always been the fiercest competition for the regular season MVP. They are the players most qualified to win the MVP in recent years.
In the past two years, Giannis Antetokounmpo lost to Wang Feng by a huge score without any suspense. He didn't even have a chance. This year, he finally relied on American reporters' unwillingness to win Wang Feng's fourth consecutive MVP award and the Lakers' record decline due to Butler.
I had the opportunity to win the regular season MVP, but I didn't expect that I would fall short in the end.
Of course Antetokounmpo also knows that if we look purely at personal data and contribution to the team's victory, Wang Feng is far better than him, but after being suppressed by Wang Feng for several years, he can no longer bear it. This kind of both
The feeling of Sheng Yu and He Shengliang was driving him crazy.
In current news, whenever Giannis Antetokounmpo is mentioned, Wang Feng will always be compared.
As a player who is basically at the same time, it is sad to compare with Wang Feng.
Therefore, even with the help of external forces, as long as he can beat Wang Feng, it is acceptable in Antetokounmpo's view!
It's a pity that even though he had acquiesced to this method, he still failed to beat Wang Feng. It was even more ironic that he was defeated by a 3-point gap.
When I was in an extremely bad mood, even worse things happened.
The tie-break between the Bucks and Nets will directly determine who of the two sides can enter the finals and compete for the championship trophy.
At the home court of the Nets, the Bucks resisted for three full quarters, but ultimately failed to resist. They collapsed in the fourth quarter and lost their last chance. They lost the game 119:105 and were defeated by the Nets 3:4.
Eliminated and missed the finals.
After the regular season MVP was taken away, Antetokounmpo lost the Eastern Conference championship and the chance to compete for the championship. The entire season was a complete failure and achieved nothing.
Every year when Antetokounmpo fails in the playoffs, someone will always comfort him, it doesn't matter, you are still young and there will be many opportunities in the future.
But in circles, Antetokounmpo will be 27 years old at the end of this season, but so far he has achieved nothing. He has never won a regular season MVP or a championship. Although he has countless small honors such as starting a defensive All-Star game,
But these are not what Antetokounmpo wants.
But whether he wants to or not is not up to Antetokounmpo. There are many frustrated players like him in the league.
Garnett, James, and Durant were all struggling to win a championship before making their decision. I just don’t know if Antetokounmpo, who has been suppressed by Wang Feng in his career, will also embark on the "best path".
The idea of a “hard” road.
…
Throughout the Eastern Conference Finals series, Durant and Antetokounmpo were undoubtedly the two most dazzling teams.
After two less-than-successful seasons, Durant seemed to finally have exploded and had the best playoff performance of his career.
In the Eastern Conference Finals showdown with the Bucks, Durant averaged 37 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6 assists in 7 games, which is almost comparable to Wang Feng in the Western Conference in terms of statistics.
During the entire playoffs, Durant also averaged 35 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, ranking second only to Wang Feng in the playoffs scoring list.
Antetokounmpo actually performed very well in seven games, averaging 28 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists per game. Both offense and defense are key factors for the Bucks to support seven games, but there is no way.
The quality of the Bucks' Big Three configuration is indeed worse than that of the Nets. Middleton is slightly better. Wall performed fairly well during the regular season, but in the playoffs he was somewhat undercover.
.
Wall's playing style is a bit like a combination of Westbrook and Rondo. He is good at breaking through the frame with the ball and assisting teammates, but he is not good at long shots and his three-pointers are not stable enough.
In terms of breaking through and attacking the frame with the ball, the Bucks already have Antetokounmpo, who is more efficient, so allowing Wall to attack with the ball will only reduce the Bucks' offensive efficiency.
On the Nets side, Irving and George are very accurate long-range three-pointers. They can not only create space for Durant's ball-handling offense on the court, but also share the pressure on the offensive end.
While the helpers are not as good as the opponent's, Antetokounmpo is not better than Durant in terms of personal ability competition, and is even slightly at a disadvantage. In this case, no one can be blamed for losing.
…
The Nets eliminated the Bucks and successfully entered the finals. This is also the return of Durant to the finals stage after three years.
Going back to the last time Durant played in the Finals, it was the 2017-18 season. The Warriors went all the way and swept James' single-core Cavaliers 4:0 in the finals to win the trophy. Durant won the first championship trophy of his career.
And successfully won the Finals FMVP from teammate Curry, completing a career Grand Slam of honors.
Regular season MVP, finals FMVP, championship, scoring champion...
Durant has all these honors, but as expected, the championship he won with the Warriors is still a bit unconvincing.
After winning the first championship, Durant began to long for the second championship...and he wanted a championship trophy with himself as the first core!
Therefore, after the Warriors were upset and eliminated from the Western Conference Finals due to injuries in the 18-19 season, Durant decisively chose to leave the team and join the Nets, and the Nets also formed a Big Three whose lineup depth is not much worse than that of the Warriors.
Although there is not much difference in the strength of the lineup, this team is different from the Warriors. It is a team that truly belongs to Durant. Here he is the only leader and the first core!
Last season, due to force majeure due to injuries, the Nets failed to break out of the Eastern Conference, but this season, the team has a strong team and finally made it out of the Eastern Conference and entered the finals!
"Championship! I must win it!"
Durant, who won the Eastern Conference championship trophy, thought with great pride.
But this thought was soon shrouded in a haze, because he immediately remembered that his opponent in the finals was the Lakers led by Wang Feng!
This is definitely the worst opponent.
If possible, Durant would prefer to play against the Clippers or Warriors when all players are healthy.
Even the top three Clippers with James, Leonard and Westbrook are easier to deal with than the Lakers in Durant's opinion.
The reason is very simple, simply because of Wang Feng.
Since the 14-15 season when Wang Feng joined the league, Durant began to play against Wang Feng.
From the beginning when Wang Feng, who was positioned as a 3D player, was responsible for guarding Durant, to later when Wang Feng and Durant developed their scoring ability and competed with each other, and then later, starting from joining the Lakers, Wang Feng's scoring ability has begun to surpass Durant's.
above the rand.
83 points in a single game, 38.6 points per game in the regular season, 40 points per game, plus a triple-double per game...
Wang Feng's performance every season refreshes people's understanding of the concept of scoring.
Before Wang Feng, people recognized that the player with the strongest scoring ability was undoubtedly Durant.
The four-time scoring champion, with a career average of 27 points per game, can be said to be the most efficient and most capable scorer since Jordan.
Although Allen Iverson, the shortest No. 1 pick in history, also has four scoring titles, he is obviously inferior to Durant in terms of shooting percentage and scoring efficiency.
But the appearance of Wang Feng changed everything.
Not to mention Durant, people are now talking more about who is stronger and who is weaker between Jordan's scoring ability and Wang Feng. This discussion has even been divided into two groups, and the debate is extremely fierce.
Those who support Jordan believe that Wang Feng's high scoring is mainly reflected in three-pointers. In the small ball era, defense was weak and the scale of whistleblowing was as high as body hair whistle. Scoring was much easier than in Jordan's era.
Whether it is Wang Feng, James, Curry or Durant, in Jordan's era, under high-pressure defense, scoring will inevitably shrink significantly.
Those who support Wang Feng scorn this view.
Not to mention that Wang Feng has many offensive methods, and it is not just a question of relying on three-pointers to make a living. Even if he is really facing a high-intensity defense, will Wang Feng really be afraid?
You can't tell it at all from normal games.
In order to target Wang Feng, every team in the league can be said to have tried every possible means. There were endless double teams and even triple teams. Wang Feng would often break out of the double teams with his considerable strength.
This behavior proves that Wang Feng is not afraid of physical confrontation at all, and even the defense in the 1980s cannot affect him.
The two factions were dissatisfied with each other and argued endlessly, but Durant was definitely not involved. Both parties believed that a guy with skinny arms and legs like Durant would definitely be torn into pieces in the 1980s.
