After the first round of the series, a series of awards for the regular season were announced.
What attracts the most attention is the MVP trophy!
There is no suspense, Curry won the MVP trophy again!
This is Curry's third consecutive MVP trophy!
This kind of thing is very rare in the NBA!
Why?
Because everyone has aesthetic fatigue!
No matter how well you play, no matter how good your record is, it’s a bit unjust for you to win trophies consecutively!
As long as others are not much worse than you, there is a high probability that they are someone else!
There is no other reason than aesthetic fatigue!
Of course, if the gap is huge, there is nothing you can do!
That's it for Curry!
The biggest threat to Curry's MVP trophy this year is James.
Compared with Curry, James has better personal data, which is his advantage.
There is no way, James averages close to 40 minutes of playing time per game, and the ball is concentrated in his hands most of the time. Of course his data is good!
Curry only averages more than 20 minutes of playing time per game, which is almost half that of James!
If you just look at personal data, Curry is definitely not as good as James.
But the Warriors’ record is so incredible!
The Warriors have a record of 62 wins and 4 losses this season, ranking first in the league!
Last year the Warriors broke the historical record for regular season results, and this year's Warriors record is even more terrifying!
If this year's regular season is still 82 games, with the Warriors' winning rate, it is inevitable to break the record again!
What does it mean to break a record?
That means something extremely difficult!
No matter how good James' data is, he still hasn't broken the NBA record!
No matter how good James' personal data is, the Heat's record is only ranked second in the Eastern Conference!
Not to mention the entire league!
No one is stupid, it’s clear who is more powerful!
More importantly, in the two duels between the Warriors and the Heat this season, the Warriors won both times!
Not just a win, but a big win!
Not only was it a big win, but under Deng Fang’s special arrangements, Curry’s statistics were quite impressive!
And James' data is very bleak!
A face-to-face duel can show the strength gap between the two better than other games!
In the face-to-face confrontation, Curry not only won the game, but also had better statistics. Even a fool can see that Curry is much better!
So the MVP trophy for Curry is well deserved!
In this way, Curry will win the MVP trophy three times in a row!
Looking at the entire NBA history, this result is quite impressive!
In the history of the NBA, those who have completed three consecutive MVP awards are Bill Russell, Chamberlain and Larry Bird.
Yes, a great player like Jordan was deprived of the MVP by Barkley in 1993 and missed the opportunity to win three consecutive MVPs.
Now Curry has achieved this great feat!
An elementary school student with a baby face!
It’s so incredible!
…
In addition to the MVP trophy, the best defensive player was awarded to Tyson Chandler.
Tyson Chandler only blocked 1.4 shots this season, but after he came to the Knicks, the Knicks' defense has greatly improved, which was very helpful for Chandler to win the best defensive player.
You know, the Mavericks' defense ranked among the best in the league last season.
But this season, the Mavericks' defense suddenly ranked among the bottom in the league!
Why?
The main reason is the departure of Tyson Chandler.
…
In addition, the Best Sixth Man award was awarded to James Harden.
James Harden averaged 31.4 minutes per game with the Thunder this season, scoring 16.8 points, 3.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds per game, and shooting 39% from three-point range!
No matter which statistic it is, James Harden is very good.
The fact is that the Thunder can make great progress this season, and Harden's contribution on the bench is indispensable.
…
The Most Improved Player award this season goes to Ryan Anderson.
Ryan Anderson has been heavily used by the Magic this season. He averaged 32 minutes per game, scored 16 points per game, and shot 39.3% from three-point range!
Ryan Anderson's scoring average is nearly 6 points more than last season, so there is no objection to awarding him the Most Improved Player award.
…
In addition, the data kings of the 2011-12 season have also been released.
The scoring title was taken away by Durant.
Durant averaged 38.6 minutes per game this season, averaging 28 points per game, 3.5 assists, 8 rebounds, and a three-point shooting rate of 38.7%!
…
The rebounding leader is Howard, who averaged 14.5 rebounds per game.
The winner of the assists title is LaGarrondo, who averaged 11.7 assists per game.
The winner of the block title is Ibaka. He averaged 3.7 blocks per game, which is quite scary.
The winner of the steals title is Paul, who averaged 2.5 steals per game.
…
No matter which data it is, Curry has no advantage.
There is no way, Curry's playing time is too little, and it is difficult to get good data.
But Curry doesn’t care about these things either!
…
On May 15, 2012, the first game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies officially started.
This is the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, and it is also a highly anticipated game.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, with Curry, Klay, Prince, Kirilenko and Yao Ming.
The Grizzlies' starting five are Conley, Tony Allen, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol.
The biggest advantage of the Grizzlies' five starters is defense. All five of them defend very well. It was precisely because of their tenacious defense that the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.
However, the Warriors' five-man defense is also not bad.
Klay, Prince and Kirilenko are the best forward defenders in the league!
Yao Ming's defense in the paint is also great!
Even Curry is very active on the defensive end and has no problem guarding average defenders alone.
Of course, compared to the others, Curry's defense is still worse.
This is also where opponents often make fuss.
Whoever Curry defends will take the initiative to attack!
Foul Curry and let him rest!
When unable to guard against the Warriors' offense, the only thing the opponent wants to do is to take down Curry.
But Deng Fang was not afraid.
Because no opponent has no weakness!
As long as there is a weakness, Deng Fang can exploit it.
For example, the Grizzlies, Tony Allen's three-pointer is their weakness.
As long as Tony Allen is on the court, Deng Fang can let Curry guard him.
Not only did Deng Fang ask Curry to guard Tony Allen, Deng Fang also asked Curry to take three steps back and ignore Tony Allen at all!
Just bully you for not having three points!
Tony Allen's three-point shooting percentage last season was only 17%. This season it was much higher, only 30%!
The most important thing is that Tony Allen only hit 0.1 three-pointers per game!
Not only is the hit rate low, but the number of shots taken is also low!
If the opponent has such a player on the court, Deng Fang can safely and boldly let Curry defend him!
Of course, there is another reason why Deng Fang dared to do this, in addition to Tony Allen's inaccurate three-pointer, and that is that his independent offensive ability is basically zero!
He has no back-up skills and no shooting skills. He can only rely on breakthroughs to score points. His ability to hold the ball is not very good!
For such a player, giving him the ball and letting him attack is basically suicide!
