Chapter 827: Finally Winning MVP!
Before the Thunder and Warriors hit off in a tiebreaker, the Pelicans continued their "troublesome journey" and flew Oakland from Oklahoma City.
But this time, fans are talking about this part significantly.
On the one hand, it was because the second time was not so much of a topic, but more importantly, the league announced one of the most important awards of the season at this time.
Regular Season MVP!
MVP in the 15~16 season, there are many candidates.
Don Sky, Curry, James, Leonard, Harden, Anthony, Westbrook, Durant......
But everyone knows that the competition is actually between Curry and Tang Tian.
Both teams broke the regular season record of 72 wins, and the difference in statistics between the two is not particularly large.
In the end, the two people collected 88% of the votes, which was about the same as expected.
But there is a big difference between the votes of the two, Curry's vote rate is 26%, and Tang Tian's vote rate is 62%!
The values of the two people have been adjusted one by one, and the difference is nearly 40%!
And in terms of the first vote, Tang Tian got 100 votes out of 112 votes!
This is absolutely overwhelming data!
But it's also a reasonable thing.
The Pelicans' record is better than that of the Warriors, Tang Tian's statistics are also better than Curry's, and the assists and defensive statistics are even better than those in all aspects.
Moreover, Tang Tian's data was better last year, and he was not elected, which attracted a lot of criticism, and the media will definitely consider it this year.
So it should be him in both sense and reason.
In the fifth year of his career, Tang Tian finally won the most important award!
"The perfect ending!"
"Last year's defeat is for this year's big victory, and what has been lost must be regained, and it is doubled!"
"Don's performance this season is definitely MVP, he has led the rankings for almost a season, and he deserves it!"
"From the No. 31 pick to the superstar, from the role player to the MVP, that's the most inspirational legend, and we've had the privilege of seeing it grow!"
……
The fans cheered, and although it was a year later than expected, the crushing advantage was even more exciting.
74 wins regular season record, Best Head Coach, All-Star Game MVP, Best Defensive Player, Regular Season MVP......
The Pelicans have really had a great harvest this season, and they are just short of the final championship!
Tang Tian won the MVP, the fans rejoiced, but some people were unhappy.
This unhappy man was Green.
Before the seven-game battle with the Thunder team, when the reporter asked him what he thought of Tang Tian getting the MVP, he seemed quite dissatisfied.
"Stephen had an absolutely great season, he even redefined the way basketball was played, and getting only 26% of the votes was absolutely unfair, no matter what the outside world thinks, he is the only MVP in our hearts!"
Green is as protective of his teammates as he usually is.
When the reporter said that Tang Tian performed better, Green showed even more confidence.
"We're going to win, and like last year, we're going to speak with the facts."
Green's implication is clear, and the fact he is talking about is a championship.
The tie-break here hasn't finished yet, and the West Finals haven't even entered before they say such things, I have to say that Green is indeed a big mouth.
That night, the Warriors and Thunder kicked off at Oracle Arena.
The Pelicans, just like last game, came to the sidelines to watch the game.
In the last game, the Warriors started with a reversal, and this time it was the Thunder's turn.
Durant started the game with a lot of excitement, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, helping the Thunder lead the Warriors by double digits in the first quarter.
The Warriors didn't defend Durant, and their offense went wrong.
At halftime, the score was 61-46, and the Thunder's lead had reached 15 points.
Green, who was full of confidence before the game, had no outside touch and no 4 shots, and only scored 2 points in the first half and 3 turnovers.
It's a mouthful of poisoned milk that has turned itself and the Warriors upside down.
The tiebreaker was played in Oakland, which originally made the outside world very optimistic about the Warriors' successful comeback, but the result was unexpected.
Durant's strength puts the Warriors, like many teams, on the final step of the comeback.
In the locker room at halftime, Westbrook yelled at Durant with excitement, and the Thunder players danced excitedly.
They're finally back in the Western Conference Finals, and it's a sign they're back at the top!
Durant's emotions are somewhat mixed, with excitement and concern.
After winning the Warriors, he will play the Pelicans in the next round, and he will have to face the man he can't beat.
No one on the Warriors can limit him, but the man on the Pelicans can.
Since the last meeting in the regular season this season, Tang Tian has become his inner demon.
Coming back from halftime, Kerr put on a five-man lineup and showed his hole cards for the last time.
As soon as the second half began, the Warriors began to pick up the pace like crazy.
Donovan couldn't deal with it, and Adams was stuck in various positions by Green, and kept running back and forth on the court, which completely became a burden.
The Warriors kept closing in on the point difference, and Westbrook shouted anxiously on the court, but to no avail.
In this quarter, the Warriors played their season's signature third quarter wave, with a 43-18 disparity in the single quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, they not only erased the 15-point difference, but also led the Thunder by 10 points.
The atmosphere has exploded, and the Warriors' scoring explosion in a single quarter is even more explosive than last season.
In the final quarter, the Thunder fought back, but the Warriors' side continued to attack.
And they were very targeted at pinching Durant and letting Westbrook shoot in the middle.
With Westbrook's missed shots again and again, and with Curry's big three-pointer, the Thunder's trail advantage became bigger and bigger.
With 2 minutes left in the game, the Thunder were trailing by 15 points.
In the last 20 seconds, the Thunder had no hope of winning, and Westbrook and Durant, the main Thunder players, were substituted.
Westbrook kicked the bench angrily when he came off the court, and his mouth continued to be rough.
Durant gritted his braces with his hands on his hips, and looked up at the score with a complicated expression.
After the last twenty seconds, the final whistle sounded, and the scene erupted in deafening cheers.
They finally won three games in a row after falling behind 1-3, eliminated the Thunder 4-3, and successfully advanced to the Western Finals!
Although it was a difficult way to qualify, they were not eliminated, they did it!
Green roared at the final whistle and bumped his chest with Thompson and Iguodala.
After the collision, he looked up at the Pelicans in the audience, and he Green wanted to do what he said!
Tang Tian looked at the celebratory Warriors, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If it were someone else on another team, they would want the Thunder to win, after all, the Warriors will definitely be more difficult to play this season in terms of hard power.
But for him and the Pelicans, that's what they wanted.
The year before last they lost to the Grizzlies, and last year they got their revenge;
Last year they lost to the Warriors, and this year what they want to do and do is revenge!
Now the opportunity for revenge is at hand!
