Chapter 514: Conference Finals and Regular Season MVP

(Happy Chinese New Year to everyone. I have been very busy the past few days as the New Year is approaching and I have been busy with putting new books on the shelves. I have not bothered to update this book. However, this book will definitely go through the finishing process normally and the story will be told well.

, it won’t be ruined, please rest assured.)

In terms of regular season record, the SuperSonics are the best team in the Western Conference, better than the Warriors, Spurs, Jazz and other teams.

However, during the playoffs, Wang Feng felt that compared to the Jazz, the SuperSonics were relatively easier to deal with.

They have an excellent team, and all five starting positions performed well, but the Warriors' lineup is obviously more adaptable to a tactical system like the SuperSonics.

Although it is a fast-paced small-ball team with Wang Feng as its core, its defensive ability is actually not bad.

Both outside players Wang Feng and Blaylock were selected to the All-Defensive Team. At the same time, although Garnett on the inside is still a little immature, his strong defensive ability has begun to show its prowess.

Don't forget, Wang Feng also has a purple defensive core badge on his body, which can improve the defensive capabilities of his teammates to a higher level.

The defensive system established with three people as the main defensive spearheads is very effective for any team that mainly uses outside players.

Again, what the Warriors fear most is the kind of team with a super center, because neither Garnett nor center Seikali can guard against the top centers in the league today.

Coincidentally, the Sonics' core inside player, Sean Kemp, does not play like a traditional inside center, and Wang Feng can handle it.

Once Kemp is restricted by Wang Feng, the Sonics can only rely on the outside lineup headed by Payton, and what they happen to encounter is Blaylock, Garnett and Wang Feng's iron rope across the river.

Both teams have now reached the finals.

"call--!"

While the Warriors and SuperSonics were fighting fiercely in the Western Conference, the finals in the Eastern Conference were already over.

As a result, a protracted debate over who is more deserving of the regular season MVP has begun in the league.

"Wang Feng broke through with the ball! He passed Kemp's defense, turned around to avoid Payton's defense, stole the ball, and threw the ball in!"

In the last 2 minutes, nothing unexpected happened. The Sonics failed to reverse the 10-point gap and lost this life-and-death battle.

The votes between the two are quite close. Obviously, there is still a big difference as to who is more suitable for the regular season MVP.

4:0, easily swept.

The Rookie of the Year award was won by Garnett. Although his average of 18+8 per game was slightly less than Stoudemire's 19 points and 9 assists, the difference in team performance between the two was huge.

.

"Finally entered the finals."

…

As for the biggest prize among the season awards, which is the regular season MVP with the highest value, there was a huge quarrel before the final results were announced.

Regular season MVP, whose full name is the Most Valuable Player Award, is awarded to the player who has contributed the most to the team throughout the regular season.

The best sixth man is Tony Kukic of the Bulls. He averages 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. In terms of personal data, his performance is mediocre. However, the team's victory bonus is too high. 72 wins is really not

A record that can be achieved every year.

But the good times didn't last long. When the game came to the home court of the Warriors, the Sonics immediately couldn't handle it. They were beaten twice in a row on the road. The score went directly to 3:1. The Warriors directly held three match points and seemed to have a chance to win.

The SuperSonics, who returned to their home court, continued to resist in a difficult home game, chasing the total score to 3:2.

May 30, Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals series, the Warriors are at home.

No matter how intense and controversial the process is, winning is winning.

The other led the team to 60 wins and 22 losses, with personal statistics of 38.7 points, 11.2 rebounds and 10.8 assists.

This is considered stylistic restraint, and there is no way around it.

Garnett's Warriors have reached the finals, and Garnett, as the team's second scoring point, plays a key role on both offense and defense. On the other hand, Stoudemire averages 19+9 per game.

The data are basically generated during the garbage time when the team is behind by a big score early. The gold content of the two data is self-evident.

The two sides were at loggerheads and arguing endlessly.

In this regard, the Bulls won 47 games last season and 72 games this season, and the improvement was only 25 games.

Looking at the final voting results, Wang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

…

Those who support Jordan naturally point to his unprecedented 72 wins.

In other words, the Magic had no chance of winning the entire game, and their loss was quite desperate.

Wang Feng received 36.8% of the votes, while Jordan's vote rate was 34.5%.

In the golden ocean that filled the sky, the cheers roared like thunder.

Which one, Wang Feng or Jordan, has contributed more to the team? In fact, the result is self-evident.

"A narrow win?"

Even now, not many people think that the Bulls will lose the game in this playoffs.

Although he won, the process was quite thrilling.

The personal data of 39+ triple-doubles per game is also the first time since the NBA merger. In addition, the Warriors' record last season was only 26 wins. After Wang Feng arrived, he directly led the team from 26 wins to 60 wins, improving the number of games by as many as 34 games.

.

Before the start of the finals, as usual, the league announced the winners of the season awards.

This step is not easy. Throughout the season, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, he has put up twelve points to bring this Warriors team, which is not strong overall, to where it is now.

The regular season MVP of the 1995-96 season was finally awarded to him.

O'Neal and Hardaway were no match for the Bulls. The game with the biggest gap even lost by 38 points, and even the game with the closest point difference ended with a 5-point difference between the two teams.

In terms of team record, Jordan is obviously better, but in terms of personal data performance, Wang Feng can be said to crush Jordan in all aspects. Putting aside statistics such as rebounds and assists, even Jordan, who is best at scoring, cannot beat Wang Feng.

Next, they will face the last and biggest challenge, the 72-win Bulls led by Jordan.

This is not surprising.

For Wang Feng, defeating strong teams such as the SuperSonics and Rockets in the Western Conference is just the beginning.

There are two players who are most likely to win the award, Jordan of the Bulls and Wang Feng of the Warriors.

He led the team to 72 wins and 10 losses, with personal data of 36 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

But there are also many words of support for Wang Feng.

"This is Wang Feng's 40th point in this game! With this throw, the difference between the two teams officially came to 10 points. At this time, there were only 2 minutes left before the end of the game, and the SuperSonics had no hope of reversal.

, it seems that it is the Golden State Warriors led by Wang Feng who finally win the Western Conference Finals and reach the Finals!"

Taking a long breath, Wang Feng raised his head and looked at the score display above.

The Best Defensive Player was won by Gary Payton. Although the Sonics had just been eliminated by the Warriors, they were able to secure first place in the Western Conference in the regular season. Payton's defensive system established on the perimeter was indispensable. It is worth mentioning that,

In this award, the other two favorites are Wang Feng and Rodman of the Bulls.

On May 20, in the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the SuperSonics finally relied on the outstanding performance of all players to pull back 99:94 and tie the score at 1:1.

4:2, the Warriors eliminated the SuperSonics and officially entered the finals, where they will face the Bulls in the finals.

It is an indisputable fact that Wang Feng defeated Jordan and took away the regular season MVP from him.

This allowed him to win half a chip before the finals started.

Wang Feng also knows that Jordan, who lost a regular season MVP, will definitely vent his dissatisfaction in the finals.

He is also ready to meet the challenge.

On June 5, 1996, the NBA Finals officially began at the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls!
