1149: MVP has been booked

With 75 wins in a single season, Link has added to his already brilliant career.

The day after the regular season, a bunch of pundits and fans immediately put the label "never broken" on the Grizzlies' 75 wins, just as they did with 72 wins.

ESPN also immediately announced that it would release a full-process documentary of the Grizzlies' 75-win show this summer.

Soon, they approached the Grizzlies again and hoped to follow them throughout the playoffs. The purpose is naturally to hope that even the documentary that won the championship will be done together.

For a moment, the Grizzlies' popularity was unmatched. The last time there was such a popular team was the Bulls in the 90s!

Yes, since the beginning of the 21st century, teams as popular as the Bulls have almost disappeared.

At the turn of the century, the Lakers and Spurs dominated the league, but neither reached the heights of the Bulls. The popularity of the Lakers during Kobe's two consecutive championships is indeed terrifying, but it is still a little less interesting than the Bulls.

After that, the Heat, Cavaliers and Warriors were all full of controversy, and the Spurs, Thunder and others were even less popular.

Only the Grizzlies, an unyielding small-city team, have caught the attention of most of the league.

In previous years, the Grizzlies and Link were still villains, and fans only regarded them as championship robbers.

But now, they have been hailed as the true kings of this alliance.

Their approval rating is at an all-time high, even though the Grizzlies have won three championships in the previous four years. However, fans still want to see the Grizzlies continue to win championships.

Their 75 wins, naturally, are also talked about by fans and media.

Of course, in addition to lamenting the magic of the Grizzlies during the regular season, previewers and predictions for the playoffs have also been put on the agenda by major media outlets.

This year, competition in the west remains fierce. It can even be said that it was the most intense year.

Because this season is the first time in NBA history that there are three teams with 60 wins in just one division!

In the West, the first Grizzlies have 75 wins, the second Warriors have 67 wins, and the third Spurs have 61 wins!

The top three in the West all got 60+ wins, and no team was easy to mess with. This shows how terrible the competition in the west is this year.

In the East, on the other hand, the Celtics with the best record are only 53 wins. The situation in which the west is strong and the east is weak has never been more obvious.

Of course, the playoff game of these three 60-win teams has also made fans have very high expectations for this year's playoffs.

Three teams with 60 wins are already in sight, and you don't know if there could be an upset.

After all, teams such as the Rockets, Clippers and Thunder who did not get 60 wins are also not good stubble.

Adam. The joke must be crooked by now, and the ratings will naturally be very hot in this year's playoffs.

The first round of the playoffs is very hot, the Warriors will face the Thunder in the first round, and Durant and Westbrook will fall in love with each other in the playoffs.

The Rockets and Clippers are already mortal enemies, and they must be ready to fight to the end in the first round.

As for the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers, they are also old rivals.

Last season, the third-placed Grizzlies met the sixth-placed Trail Blazers in the first round. Although the Trail Blazers ultimately lost, Lillard caused a lot of problems for the Grizzlies.

In one of the games, Lillard's final 2.4 seconds of the game became a classic in his career.

It was also one of the few times in Link's career that he was killed by an opponent.

This year, although the rankings of both sides have changed a lot, they have also come together by mistake again.

Fate, wonderful.

While everyone knows in their hearts that the Trail Blazers don't have a good chance of winning the series, there is also a belief that Lillard has the ability to make this first-round game quite exciting.

The current Trailblazers are like the grizzly bears of the past, they can make you peel off even if you can't win.

It's just the first round, and the fans can't wait.

And just as impatient is the final vesting of the regular season awards.

In ESPN's latest MVP rankings, Link is still ranked No. 1.

But to know the final result, we have to wait until the end of the season in a few months' time.

It all started with Adam. Another brain-dead decision of the joke.

Historically, the regular season awards have been given in conjunction with the playoffs.

But since the beginning of this season, the regular season awards have been carried out at an annual awards ceremony after the season!

Obviously, the original intention of the joke was probably to make a big show after the season, and the regular season awards would be turned into Oscars, which would further enhance the image and commercial value of the league.

Think of how exciting it is to see a group of stars in suits come together to listen to the hosts on stage tell boring jokes and then reveal the winners one by one.

However, justice delayed is not justice, and belated awards are not awards.

In the past, although there was no way to hold a large award ceremony during the playoffs, resulting in the award ceremony often being very simple, at least it is very good to control the rhythm of the whole season.

The regular season ends, the playoffs begin, and as the playoffs progress, the awards are gradually announced. This is done in a clear and progressive way

By the end of the finals in June, as soon as the FMVP was revealed, the biggest winner of the season was immediately apparent.

That's when you can start keeping an eye on the draft, waiting for the offseason transfer spree, and looking ahead to next season.

But after the joke was tossed like this, it turned out that the regular season was over, and the award should not be awarded. When the finals are over, the draft is over, and everyone is thinking about next season, the awards ceremony is belated.

By then, the championship had already been decided, and to be honest, fans weren't as interested in the regular season awards as well. With the biggest suspense of the summer of championships and drafts revealed, who else really cares who the fuck is the best sixth man?

The joke is completely unreasonable. And this is the second brain-dead decision he has made since the reform of the All-Star vote.

The All-Star was meant to be a feast for the fans, but as a result, he stripped the fans of the right to choose their favorite players.

The award presentation needs a certain timeliness, and the joke makes an award ceremony that people can't look forward to......

When Stern was still in power, many fans also scolded Stern. But now, people are mostly in charge of Stern.

Why? It's not a joke yet.

Not to mention the fans, even Link found it difficult to wait.

After losing the MVP last season, Link has always wanted to get the MVP back, which is also the "side quest" he has set for himself this season.

According to the original process, the playoffs would have known the results. Well, now we have to wait until the draft is over......

When the time comes, Link probably won't be too lazy to go to the awards ceremony.

Rachel is almost in a quasi-production state after the season, and Link still has the heart to care about the MVP.

However, Link is still very optimistic about his prospects of regaining the MVP this year.

First of all, 75 wins alone are enough for Link to win the MVP.

Secondly, Link's personal data is also very impressive when it is taken out separately.

With an average of 29.0 points per game, he is third in the league, behind Westbrook and Harden, who are crazy about data, and ahead of Curry, Durant, James and Leonard.

Although the average points per game has dropped slightly from the previous two seasons, this is because Link has more helpers this season, and he doesn't have to do it himself in every game.

Averaged 9.2 rebounds per game, 15th in the league, a new career high! In front of Link on the rebounding list, except for Westbrook, all of them are centers.

He averaged 8.8 assists per game, sixth in the league and the most assists of any non-guard player in the league.

Such a personal data, even if you put aside the factor of 75 wins, is very impressive.

Of course, if I had to say, Westbrook's triple-double per game average was even more impressive. However, considering his data and poor record, the call for "Turtle" to win MVP has not been high.

Curry, Durant and Leonard, the data is completely inferior to Link. James and Harden, although the data is close to Link, but the record is really a little far behind.

In this way, Link seems to be the only choice, and the MVP winner has no suspense at all, and has long been booked by Link.

After thinking about it, Link felt a lot more relieved.

The awards ceremony is a fucked thing, but it's supposed to be its own thing, and it's going to come sooner or later.

Now, Link has put aside his MVP worries for the time being. The day before the playoffs, Link organized a reunion at home after training.

Before summer arrives, this is the last chance for the Grizzlies players to relax.
