Reverse Growth Superstar

The Grizzlies' victory last night was full of energy, and some even ridiculed that the Grizzlies' victory over the Clippers is similar to the first round of the Rockets' win.

And Link's performance makes people talk about it even more. Indeed, 27 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. This is not the most gorgeous data Link has ever produced. But there is no doubt that this performance has been good enough.

At least for the game yesterday, no player's stats can compare with Link.

In addition to the data, Link's performance on the court is also very good. People have witnessed how he tortured Barnes in the low post, how to prevent Crawford, who was able to fly NBA players in high school, to have no temper, and how to make Griffin leave early.

Originally, the Grizzlies had 70 wins in the regular season, coupled with the playoffs have not yet tasted a defeat, which makes Link's position in the league quickly improved.

Playing well in the regular season is not necessarily recognized by others. Nowitzki played so well in the regular season, didn't he also fall short because of the black eight in the playoffs.

But after Nowitzki won the championship in 2011, his historical status quickly increased. Of course, it also completely got rid of the infamy of "soft egg".

Therefore, the gold content of the playoffs is higher than the regular season. If you can still dominate in the playoffs, a player will definitely gain recognition.

As Link's popularity soared, on May 8, the NBA officially announced the final and most important regular season award of the season, the regular season most valuable player selection result.

Unsurprisingly, this season led the Heat to 66 wins in team history and won a nearly triple-double per game LeBron James won this honor for the fourth time.

This also makes James the fifth player in NBA history to win the MVP at least four times.

In the 12-13 season, how great James's performance is, the data alone is enough to explain most of the problems.

Throughout the regular season, James averaged 26.8 points, 8 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 56.5% from the field and 40.6% from three-pointers, both of which created his career. new highs.

In addition, in the 33 games before the regular season, James scored 20+ every field, this record ranked second in history. At the beginning of February, James scored 30+ in 6 consecutive games and shot over 60%, becoming the first player in history. Players with such data.

In terms of team honor, James is also impeccable. Although the 27-game winning streak was ruthlessly broken by Link, the concept of the Heat’s 27-game winning streak no longer exists in this history. But it is not easy to get 66 wins.

Although 66 wins are great, they are somewhat overshadowed by the Grizzlies' 70 wins halo. But combining personal data, dominance and team record, James eventually became an MVP player.

When the MVP was announced, but the winner was not him, Link was still a little bit lost. He thought that with an incredible 70 wins, he could hit the super honor of MVP.

What happened to the third grade? Didn't Rose also win MVP honors in the third grade?

But Link can't control this kind of thing. His personal data is really not as good as James. And his influence in the hearts of the media is not as good as James.

Although very helpless, but can only accept the facts.

MVP is something like this, it can be said that a player wants to pursue a lifetime, and it is similar to a championship. No, even harder than a championship. In one season, more than ten players can win the championship, but only one player can win the regular season MVP!

If it were so good, it wouldn't be so precious.

Familiar superstars such as Wade, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, etc. have even missed the MVP for their entire career.

MVP, how can it be so simple to be in the bag.

Link thought to himself that he could appear in the MVP rankings in the third grade, and there must be more opportunities in the future. After all, he knew very well that his strength hadn't reached its peak yet, and there was still room for improvement. He hadn't even obtained the ability of Peak Hill, he could already kill the Quartet in the league.

Some things can't be rushed, they should belong to you, can't run away!

With this kind of self-comforting psychology, Link continued to read this report related to MVP.

"Link, Durant, Anthony and Paul are ranked 2 to 5 in the MVP voting rankings."

Seeing this sentence, Link was a little surprised, co-authoring himself actually ranked second in the vote! He remembers that at the end of the regular season, he was still behind Durant. As soon as the actual voting result came out, he actually surpassed Durant.

Being able to put Durant, Anthony, and Paul underneath him is an incredible thing for a draft pick.

However, after reading on, Link knew what truly incredible is.

"Although James has won this supreme honor, in fact, James' election this year is very dangerous! There is no doubt that Link, who led the Grizzlies to 70 wins, has won the love of many people. He almost topped James this year. Get the MVP! In this year’s MVP vote, James only won 70 first votes, while Link won the remaining 61! Durant, Anthony, Paul and others directly even got one first vote. No! This is definitely the most thrilling MVP award experience in NBA history."

"I, Cao, ruthless!" At the beginning, Link could comfort himself. But after seeing that he was only 9 votes away from becoming the MVP, Link was not calm.

It's like playing a game, losing your opponent by 10 points, and being beaten up wildly. It may not be that uncomfortable. The strength is not good, there is no way.

But fighting for the whole game, and the strength of the opponent is equal, but in the last 1 second, he was killed by the opponent, that was really heartbroken.

At this time, Link had a feeling of being killed by James.

"Damn, I don't know who the 9 reporters are, they deliberately opposed me!" Link pouted, and reporters who raised the bar were always there. Link was not the first to encounter.

In 2000, O'Neal, who was unmatched, had encountered a guy who was against him. At that time, O'Neill won 120 first votes in the ballots, and he was elected by unanimous votes just one vote!

However, the only opponent was Fred Hickman who was working at CNN at the time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ who voted for Iverson. The reason is, "I don't want to see O'Neill make history."

Until now, O'Neal has retired to become a commentator, and neither he nor Hickman can deal with it. Whenever he mentions that regret, O'Neill will greet Hickman with words starting with F.

"Fred Idiot Hickman, I hate him. I don't need to talk to him, there is nothing to apologize, because his stupidity ruins history." This is O'Neill in an interview half a month ago. The reaction to Hickman.

Link shook his head, people like O'Neal would meet the bar, let alone himself. After all, in the history of the NBA, there has not been an MVP experience in the draft, and there must be reporters who dare not break the rules.

Besides, losing to James at his peak is not unacceptable.

And compared to O'Neal, Link is more fortunate, because he at least has a chance of "revenge".

James got the MVP? Then I will go to grab the championship!

Just when Link imagined himself and James in a showdown in the finals, he received a text message from Jimmy Butler.

"It's eight o'clock in the morning, and the Federal Express Arena should have been empty. I was going to the stadium to take shots. As a result, guess who I met? Chris Paul! That guy actually came earlier than me!"

Earlier than Butler? Link can do this only occasionally.

It seems that Paul, who performed badly in the last game, will not let it go.

Before going to win the championship with James, Link had to solve Paul's trouble first...

But when he thinks that he is ranked second in the MVP voting and Paul is only fifth, Link has a kind of self-confidence.

Quasi-MVP, but will not travel the pool.
