Chapter 825 Easily defeated the Green Army, first victory in April
But in this way, things will be more beneficial to Wang Zelin.
Even though Westbrook won the Player of the Month in March, he may improve a few rankings in the MVP competition, but don't forget that he is not the star of the Oklahoma City Thunder after all.
The apparent boss of the Thunder is still Kevin Durant!
Therefore, no matter how much his MVP ranking improves, he cannot surpass Durant, otherwise Durant will be left somewhere else.
Therefore, just from the team's status alone, Westbrook is destined to miss the MVP chase this season.
Curry is the only one who can truly compete with Wang Zelin from beginning to end.
But compared with Wang Zelin, Curry has a clear shortcoming, that is, he has never won the Western Conference Player of the Month even once.
Five months have passed since the new season, and the Western Conference Players of the Month produced during these five months are, in order:
In November 2015, Wang Zelin averaged 36 17 5 4 1 per game;
In December 2015, Wang Zelin averaged 40 18 5 4 1 per game;
In January 2016, Durant averaged 28 9 4 1 1 per game;
In February 2016, Wang Zelin averaged 37 18 3 4 1 per game;
And in March 2016, which was just released, Westbrook averaged 20, 8, 10 and was close to a triple-double!
As we all know, the competition for the NBA regular season MVP every year will be affected to a certain extent by the conference player of the month.
The more times you win the conference player of the month award, it is equivalent to confirming your dominance during the regular season.
Therefore, since Curry and himself have both lost to Westbrook, then think about it from another perspective. Wang Zelin, who has won the Western Conference three times, is still the more dominant one in the MVP competition.
Now, the Trail Blazers' regular season record is 66 wins and 7 losses, while the Warriors' current record is 65 wins and 8 losses. Both sides have 9 games left in the last month, and both are likely to beat the Chicago Bulls in the 1996 season.
The 72-win miracle.
Next, as long as the Trail Blazers maintain their record lead in the last month, there is a high probability that Wang Zelin will be awarded the Western Conference Player of the Month in the last month again.
In this way, the best match between him and Curry will be 4:1.
The competitiveness of mvp will be greatly enhanced.
To take a step back, even if the league makes trouble and awards the Western Conference Player of the Month in the last month to Curry, he can still maintain his advantage by relying on his early accumulation.
No matter what, no one can stop him from winning the MVP title!
Then, Wang Zelin randomly picked the winner of the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for March.
It’s you again ~ Thunder Tyrant!
Seeing the familiar name appearing on the official website, Wang Zelin once again confirmed his thoughts.
James was definitely holding back during the first half of the season, and he only started to show his full strength after the All-Star weekend.
No, in the past month, James led the Cavaliers to a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, leading the Eastern Conference.
In terms of personal statistics, James averaged 25.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. His shooting percentage was 53.8%, and his three-point shooting percentage was relatively average, only 33.3%.
However, it is extremely scary to place such an outside target on James. After all, everyone knows that James's strongest point is his unique outside breakthrough in history!
Relying on both team record and personal data, James defeated Rose, Davis, the Dragons brothers and many other stars, and won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the second time in a single season.
However, James's name has never appeared on Wang Zelin's list of contenders.
As the saying goes, no one can stay young forever, but there are always groups of young people appearing.
James is already in his early thirties, and the only thing he still has hope for in his future career plan may be team honors.
It's like a competition for personal honors, and it's hard for him to get involved.
Unless one day he can, like Wang Zelin and Curry, lead the Cavaliers to perform a regular season miracle that rivals the 1996 Bulls, only then will it be possible to compete for MVP.

To be honest, among the players in the Eastern Conference, James poses less of a threat to Wang Zelin than Davis does.

After a day of preparation, on the evening of April 1, the Trail Blazers welcomed the Boston Celtics, led by the shortest current leader Thomas Jr., at home.
After the game started, Thomas Jr. was on fire, shooting in and out. The little man was like a loach, whirling around. For a while, the Trail Blazers' perimeter really couldn't do anything to him.
.
After the first quarter, the Celtics started with an 11:2 spurt, in which Thomas Jr. contributed 8 points, and temporarily led the Trail Blazers by 5 points at 31:26.
Entering the second quarter, Evan Turner, the second overall pick in 2010, began to fire frequently from the outside. Not to mention, his touch was really good and he scored two three-pointers in a row.
This led to the Trail Blazers falling behind by 11 points in this quarter, but in the last three minutes, after Coach Terry replaced the main force, Wang Zelin and Lillard scored consecutively in pick-and-rolls, helping the team narrow the point difference to 54:58.
At the end of the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Just entering the third quarter, Green Army coach Stevens felt that the situation on the court had suddenly changed. The Trail Blazers sent out a lineup of Beverley, Button, Batum, Harrell, and Wang Zelin, with the purpose of focusing on defense.
When the Trail Blazers instantly raised the defensive intensity on the court to the playoff level, other Green Army players immediately panicked and made frequent mistakes. Then Wang Zelin and his teammates seized the opportunity to complete a fast break counterattack.
.
In half a quarter, Wang Zelin shot or passed in the low post, leading the Trail Blazers to a 21:6 offensive wave, leading the Celtics by 16 points.
Because the one-sided situation happened too quickly, when Stevens came to his senses, he realized that the team had fallen so far behind, and he hurriedly replaced Thomas.
It's a pity that Thomas Jr. is even stronger when he is strong. With his small, nimble and fast style, he even achieved some of the brilliance of "Answer" Allen Iverson back then.
But under the Trail Blazers' tight defensive system, he was like prey tangled in a spider web, and the final outcome could only be defeat.
…
118:91, with Wang Zelinli scoring 41 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Celtics and won their first victory in April.
If at the end of the first half, the Green Army players could still see some opportunities to win, but after Wang Zelin led the team to a 39:14 offensive climax in the third quarter, the game completely lost its suspense.
At the end of the quarter, Stevens had no choice but to make an appointment, push the unwilling Thomas on the bench, and raise the white flag to surrender early.
