On December 13, Beijing time, the NBA's game today has ended, and various stars have erupted, among which the most concerned are MVP players such as James, Durant and Alphabet Brother. Alphabet brother led the Bucks to win, he also got a triple-double, alphabet brother has already made a force, it looks like it is going to disrupt the MVP pattern, so far this season, Curry and Durant have been dominating the top two MVP, alphabet brother has been ignored. However, the Bucks' 18-10 record in the East, as well as alphabet brother averaging 27.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, is enough to make him into the MVP big hits, if alphabet brother overtaking in the corner to get the regular season most valuable player, don't be surprised.
The two best performers today are Durant and James, and the two kings of the league have exploded. KD in the Nets and Pistons games, cut the season-high 51 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, to maximize his personal ability, Curry's 50-point season record became a thing of the past. Durant suffered a major injury to the Achilles tendon rupture and was able to maintain the peak level of competition, which was really incredible. So far in the 21-22 season, KD has averaged 29.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.
James, who is close to 37 years old, seems even more shocking. The showdown between the Lakers and the Magic, the old Zhan played the best performance of the season so far, 12 of 20 shots cut 30 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and also sent 3 blocks, it is difficult to imagine that this is a veteran who is close to retirement, and most of the players in his same period have retired, james is still at the peak.
James has been questioned a lot this season, thinking that he can't rule the game anymore, and coupled with the Lakers' poor record, the old Zhan is about to be blackened into carbon. There are also some fans who believe that James often throws the pot to find a reason for losing, the Lakers' record is average, this is indeed a fact, even after winning 2 consecutive wins, the Lakers have a record of 15 wins and 13 losses, but compared with the Suns' 21 wins and 4 losses and the Warriors' 21 wins and 5 losses, it is still a lot worse.
However, if combined with the situation of the Lakers, the Lakers can get the current achievements, which is also a passing performance. First, the Lakers lineup has never been neat, Ariza and Nunn and other important rotation players, are still recuperating, did not play the game; second, Westbrook, Anthony and other veterans joined, the players need to cultivate chemical reactions; third, thick eyebrows are considered the lakers' future, often absent from the game, performance can be called crotch.
The contrast is obvious, the Nets have two major stars, Durant and Harden, and people like Mills, Aldridge and others have also played extremely well, while the Nets have a record of 19 wins and 8 losses, 4.5 wins ahead of the Lakers. Since the Nets have been firmly ranked first in the East, KD has been blown to the sky, thinking that he is the biggest favorite of MVP, playing a historic performance.
In fact, the Lakers' record is a certain gap compared with the Nets. But the personal performances of James and Durant are not much different. From the 21-22 season to the present, Durant has played 25 games, scoring 30+ in 11 games, leading the league. And James played 16 games, there are 8 games 30+, moreover, James averaged 26.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.8 steals per game, shooting 50.6%, in addition to scoring 3 points less than KD, other data, James did not lose to Durant, so why was Durant blown to the sky, 37-year-old James was blackened into carbon?
In my opinion, there are three reasons. First, the Lakers' record did not meet expectations, and often played weak teams also lost, especially two losses to the Thunder, so that the outside world questioned James's ability to lead the team; second, James's highlight moments were not as much as Durant, KD cut 50+, and James's highest score so far this season was 39 points; third, everyone's impression flowed, old Zhan cut 30+ mediocre, Durant scored 30 or 40 points, that is, death took over the game.
The season is still very long, and there are about 3/4 of the games to play. Maybe James has a chance to get the MVP, after this wave of 8 games 6 times cut 30+, James and Durant, Curry and other MVP big hits, gradually narrowed.
