super heavy artillery

Chapter 531
Regarding the finals MVP, after the Thunder defeated the Warriors, many people have been discussing it.At that time, I was more optimistic about the Thunder.Although James' performance in the first two games can be said to be unprecedented, but judging from the unspoken rules of the NBA in recent decades, he has no chance to win this award.The league already has a logo man, there is no need for another one.James himself may not want to get a consolation prize in the end!
Looking at the Thunder, Westbrook, An Luo and Paul George all have certain opportunities.Especially Westbrook, as the city's number one star, he is the most likely.However, referring to the experience of the Warriors last year, Durant easily defeated Curry to win the FMVP with his outstanding performance. Paul George and An Luo still have a lot of chances.As long as they behave well enough!
However, Paul George quickly withdrew from the FMVP contending sequence.Of course, it's not that he didn't perform well enough.After the five finals, Paul George also handed over the data of 25+5+5+2.You know, he has been playing with James on his shoulders.Moreover, James' state this season is recognized as strong, and it is very rare for Paul George to be able to deliver such results.The so-called success and defeat of Xiao He, the biggest problem preventing Paul George from winning the FMVP also appeared on James.Under his defense, James' super data of 35+7+7 was so dazzling that Paul George's defense was greatly compromised.

The player who defended James to win the finals will always be able to win the FMVP.For example, Leonard and Iguodala.

In 2014, Leonard used his own death coil to cut off James from the rest of the Heat, leaving James in a solo situation.Although James can still contribute 28+7+4 data per game, the team's integrity has not been able to play out.In that Finals, Leonard successfully limited a large part of James' ability, turning him into a pure scorer.This is not easy. You must know that James has never been a superstar who only relies on his scoring ability to lead the team to win.Leonard used his own power to greatly weaken James' role in the game.In addition, the entire Spurs were team basketball that year. In terms of GDP, Ginobili was worse, but the performances of Parker and Duncan, as well as their role in the game, were not much different. The MVP of the finals went to Leonard Not too many objections.

In 2015, when Iguodala won the Finals MVP, the statistics were not the best for the Warriors, and they were far worse than Paul George.But it's because he's defending James.In the first three games, James scored 44 points, 39 points, and 40 points in a row, and took a 2:1 lead.The situation at that time was already very bad for the Warriors.No one can limit James in a runaway state.Until the fourth game, Kerr mentioned Iguodala to the starting lineup and asked him to defend James.Compared with James, Iguodala has no disadvantages, and his defense is very good, and his physical fitness is also very strong.Therefore, in the subsequent games, the situation of the game changed.In the fourth game, James only scored 20 points and his shooting percentage was only 31%. In the fifth game, James broke out again, but the Cavaliers still lost the game. In the sixth game, although James scored 32 points, his shooting percentage was still very low. Less than 4%.In this way, Iguodala restricted James with performance beyond his normal level, which reversed the situation of the game, so he finally won the finals MVP.

Paul George's situation is completely different now.His restriction on James is far from enough to catch up with Iguodala at the beginning.Throughout the series, James' shooting percentage was above 50%, even as high as 7% in the first game!In addition, his performance has always been like that, he can't compare with Westbrook in all-around, and can't keep up with An Luo in scoring, so everyone thinks it's normal that he can't get FMVP.

Of course, for the vast majority of Oklahomans, Westbrook's FMVP is the most ideal result.As for An Luo, he is only in the second grade, less than 20 years old!There are still many opportunities in the future!And with the current strength of the Thunder, as long as they keep the main lineup and make some repairs this summer, they will still be the most powerful contender for the championship.However, there are not a few people who support An Luo.At least, almost all Chinese are on his side.

Just when everyone was discussing the ownership of FMVP, as the core figure of the topic, Westbrook was crying in a mess holding his wife and children.These years are not easy!And An Luo, holding the O'Brien Cup, kept taking pictures with Tang Xiaoru and Fu Yao.He doesn't have Westbrook's obsession with the championship, but this golden trophy means that he will go one step further.He believes this is just the beginning, and there will be more opportunities in the future.

No one bothered these people who were immersed in the joy of victory, and even the reporters who were moved by the news were just taking pictures on the sidelines.Especially the local Oklahoma media, they didn't even get close.It's a few minutes long, but they've been waiting ten years for this!

After a while, Adam Silver and Russell walked to the center of the court together.Russell was too old to walk with a limp.After the championship is born every year, the old man will appear on the scene, and then award the trophy named after himself to the player who performed the best in this series.Although in recent years he has only played the role of a mascot more often, but he still insists on being there.

"Now, we're going to award the Bill Russell Trophy to the player with the most outstanding performance in the Finals. The most valuable player of the NBA2017-18 Finals is..."

Adam Silver stood in front of the microphone stand and read the long-awaited name to all the audience and reporters:
"Russell Westbrook!"

After finishing speaking, Adam Silver handed the final FMVP award from Russell to Westbrook.Later, he hugged and shook hands with Westbrook for a photo, with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations! You brought a championship to this city!"

An Luo, who was on the side, stared at the trophy, which was a little smaller than the O'Brien Cup, feeling a little disappointed.In fact, he was mentally prepared.After all, Westbrook is the boss of this team, and his performance is so two-eyed.Although he feels that he is also very good, he also knows that his current position is always a scorer, and he needs to be stronger.
