The NBA regular season is officially over, the dust has settled on the east-west rankings, and the battle for the playoffs will soon begin, which is a very cruel game. No matter how many games you win more than your opponent, as long as you lose this one, it is your opponent who advances. Such a exciting game is also a big attraction for the next step. Another point of concern is the competition for MVP, although after a whole season of competition, no one has really taken the lead in the MVP awards so far, and the suspense is not over.
The US media FW updated the final MVP list: Durant 10, Paul 8, Embiid only 3rd
10, Durant, 30.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block
Durant played 55 games this season, which is the main reason for his ranking, before Durant was injured, the Nets had the first record in the East, and it was very promising to get MVP at that time. After Durant was injured, the Nets lost 11 straight games, which is the main reason they need to play the playoffs now.
9, DeRozan, 27.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 0.9 steals
DeRozan was good personally, but mainly focused on the first half of the schedule, when the Bulls were also at first place in the East, and then DeRozan's form declined, and the Bulls also suffered some injuries and now fell to 6th. But in any case, DeRozan has locked up a place in the best team.
8 Paul, 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.9 steals
At the age of 36, leading in the assists list and at the top of the steals list, Paul deserves to be the god of point guards. The sun's good results are inseparable from Paul's planning, and he has brought the team a winning culture.
7. Doncic, 28.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.1 steals
It's a pity that Doncic has not been seen to break the record of the youngest MVP, and now that I think about it, I know how shocking Rose was that year. But Doncic is still promising, he did play at the MVP level, and the Lone Ranger has begun to understand why he built a lineup around Doncic, believing that his record will be better in the future, and sooner or later he will get the MVP.
6, Booker, 26.8 points, 5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals
Booker was the best player in the league's first-record team, and during Paul's injury, Booker also had consecutive highlights to lead the team to victory. But such moments are still too few, the Suns are strong is a good lineup, so Paul and Booker's ranking is not high, Booker's data will be very strong 10 years ago, put into the small ball era is completely unremarkable.
5. Morant, 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals
Morant's chances are also small because the Grizzlies' winning percentages when he's out of the game are simply outrageous. Of course, he didn't play in the game, and the Grizzlies played weak teams a lot of the time. The playoffs need superstars even more, with Morant eliminating the Warriors in his first play-off last year and then taking a 40+ against the Jazz, who was born for big scenes.
4. Tatum, 26.9 points, 8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1 steal, 0.7 blocks
At the beginning of the season, Tatum was met every three to five minutes because of his low shooting rate and high shooting, and the Green Army's record was once unable to score in the play-offs. But after constant adjustments, after February they began to come from behind, the Green Army's record in the same period was better than the Suns, and Tatum also received more recognition.
3. Embiid, 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks
The first center to do it after O'Neal, embiid, who has won the scoring king with consecutive high scores, is actually a greater chance, because he was the second MVP last season and has never won an MVP, so there will be many compensatory votes. However, the ability of the 76ers to fight hard battles is still too poor, which is a big reason why Embiid is not optimistic about the US media.
2, alphabet brother, 29.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks
Alphabet brother can play this super level almost every season, but he and James, everyone's requirements for them have increased, must get super records and super data to be able to get MVP again, this year the Bucks are only third in the East, so the chances are a little small.
1. Jokic, 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks
Can you win 48 wins MVP? Don't forget that Wei Shao once won 47 MVP, and this year's Jokic looks no weaker than Wei Shao. His influence on the court is really too great, every assist is like a scalpel to cut through the defense, and Jokic has made great progress on the defensive end, coupled with the season reimbursement of the two main teammates, it is a lot of points to this record.
