Chapter 199: MVP leaderboard

Popular recommendation:

The Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first game in March. It can be said that this game gave the Knicks a good start.

At the same time, it also gave a boost to all Knicks players, and every Knicks player's face was full of confidence.

In this game, Lian Dao scored 42 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Lian Dao's performance in the whole game can be described as a combination of offense and defense, and his performance is very versatile. The most important thing is that he defeated the East Big Devil James.

James' statistics in this game are also very impressive, with a record of 36 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, second only to Lian Dao.

The Knicks didn't really limit James in this game.

It can be said that the Knicks played tricks in this game. If O'Neal hadn't been sent off for a foul at the beginning of the fourth quarter, it was really hard to say who would win in the end.

This game can also be said that the Cavaliers lost, but James did not lose.

After defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers, the league also launched the regular season MVP rankings. Lian Dao also entered the rankings with an average of 32.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game.

At the same time, Lian Dao's scoring average still ranks first in the league.

Durant's scoring average is currently ranked third in the league, averaging 29.7 points per game.

It was originally ranked second, but James' outstanding performance in February directly overtook Durant.

The first place in the MVP rankings is LeBron James. The Cavaliers currently have the best record in the league, and his current overall statistics are also quite good.

James has averaged 29.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game so far. It can be said that the data is very good, second only to Lian Dao.

One of the main reasons for Lian Dao's ranking behind James is the Knicks' record. The Knicks are currently ranked third in the East, while the Cavaliers rank first in the league. Many media believe that James' ability to lead the team is stronger than Lian Dao.

What kind of leadership ability?

Lian Dao brought the last season's second-to-last record in the league to the current third in the Eastern Conference. Doesn't that explain the problem?

Moreover, by virtue of his status as a rookie!

To put it bluntly, these media do not want Lian Dao to win the MVP of the regular season, although there is a shadow of the media in it.

But in addition to these media, there is also a behind-the-scenes leader. According to the gossip that Lian Dao got, Nike is the behind-the-scenes mastermind.

But with the current influence of Lian Dao, it is simply not realistic to shake these big capitalists.

Therefore, the most important thing at present is to save energy.

In addition to the first and second place being James and Lian Dao, the top ten players are—

Number one, LeBron James.

Second place, Lian Dao.

Third place, Dwight Howard.

Fourth place, Kobe Bryant.

Fifth place, Dwyane Wade.

Sixth place, Dirk Nowitzki.

Seventh place, Carmelo Anthony.

Eighth, Chris Bosh.

Ninth place, Kevin Durant.

Tenth place, Amare Stoudemire.

With the status of a first-year rookie, Lian Dao can rank second in the MVP rankings, which shows Lian Dao's strength. You must know that besides Lian Dao, Durant, who is the youngest among them, is already Been in the league for 3 years.

The reason why Lian Dao can squeeze out a group of big bosses and rank second is that Lian Dao's personal average data per game ranks first in the league.

And the most important point is that in his rookie season, Lian Dao took the Knicks from the previous league-wide belly to the third place in the Eastern Conference, and it has a lot to do with fourth place in the league.

The Magic also had a game on March 1 against the 76ers and easily defeated the 76ers 126:105, so their current wins are 41 games, one game more than the Knicks.

In the West, only the Lakers currently have a record of 45 wins and 15 losses, ranking first in the West and second in the league. The Dallas Mavericks rank second in the West with 40 wins and 21 losses, and fifth in the league.

The Mavs have won as many games as the Knicks, but lost two games more than the Knicks.

Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why many stars did not publicly express doubts when Lian Dao won the All-Star vote. Lian Dao's team leadership performance made them embarrassed to publicly question Lian Dao.

This time was no exception. Although Lian Dao's MVP ranking was second in the league, none of the stars publicly questioned the league's ranking.

Many stars even think that if Lian Dao is not a rookie, and if Lian Dao signed Nike sneakers, then it is very likely that Lian Dao will be the number one MVP.

Nothing else, it is because Lian Dao can lead the Knicks from the bottom two in the league last year to the current fourth in the league.

This achievement achieved by Lian Dao is enough to see that Lian Dao has begun to show his star status.

Because such a crazy rookie in the history of the NBA has finally become a superstar!

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons 128:104 in the next intense game.

On March 5, they defeated the Toronto Raptors 102:96.

On March 6, they defeated the New Jersey Nets again with 113:93 back to back, completing the 4:0 sweep of the Nets that season.

However, Yi Jianlian was injured in this game. With 2 minutes and 27 seconds left in the first quarter, David Lee singled Chris Humphries with the ball, and Yi Jianlian followed Wilson Chandler on the left side of the basket. Help defend David Lee.

But in the process of retreating, Ah Lian's left foot accidentally stepped on Chandler's foot, and then fell to the ground.

The fallen UAE was then limped into the locker room with the help of trainers and assistant coaches.

The final diagnosis showed that Ah Lian had a sprained left ankle.

After the game, Lian Dao also visited Yi Jianlian for the first time. Seeing that it was only a slight sprain, Lian Dao was also relieved, but depending on the situation, he should not be able to play in the game for a short time.

Yi Jianlian also had a wry smile on his face, and Lian Dao knew the reason, but Lian Dao didn't know what to say to comfort him, some so-called comfort words were too fake to say.

Lian Dao didn't say anything either, the two just hugged, and Lian Dao patted Ah Lian on the shoulder.

Recently, Yi Jianlian's condition is not very good. His data in February dropped sharply. In the game in February, Yi Jianlian only scored 9 points and 7.6 rebounds.

If this data is said to be in some strong teams, it is already very good, and he is a qualified fourth player.

However, you must know that this is the bottom Nets team in the league, and they have completely entered the bad stage.

This means that the main players have a lot of opportunities to collect data. UU reading

But the United Arab season's shooting rate is only 40%.

Originally, the competition for the Nets' No. 4 position was fierce. Once Yi Jianlian suffered an injury and wanted to return to the starting lineup, he would have to start from scratch again.

The most important thing is that the relationship between Yi Jianlian and head coach van der Weghe is not very good.

Due to personality and language reasons, Yi Jianlian has been wandering outside the team system and has been unable to integrate into it. In addition, Yi Jianlian only shoots 40% of the field, but he needs to be "forced" by the head coach to arrange 32 minutes of playing time for him. So Yi Jianlian's position in the heart of the head coach can be imagined!

The reason why I say "forced" is because of the Chinese market, van der Weghe had to arrange a lot of playing time for Yi Jianlian.

Especially when the Knicks have made a lot of money from cheap rice this season, the Nets' management hopes to use Yi Jianlian to save the Nets' market.

Moreover, being both Chinese, some fans always compare Yi Jianlian with Lian Dao. Under this kind of pressure, Yi Jianlian was not very happy in the Nets, and the core of the Nets' training is obviously not Yi Jianlian. , but Lopez, as can be seen from the inside possession of the ball this season.

Therefore, at the end of this season, the Nets should trade Yi Jianlian to clear the salary space for better reconstruction.

But for the reticent Yi Jianlian, being traded means that he needs to re-adapt to the environment and even the team system.

This is definitely not good news. In history, after Yi Jianlian was traded to the Wizards, his data dropped significantly. In addition to injuries and playing time, adapting to the new environment should also be one of the reasons for the data drop.
