Vol 3 Chapter 409: Surprised and recognized

For any player, the Podorov Cup and O'Brien Cup will always be the two heaviest trophies in their careers. The former represents the best and most dominant individual performance in the entire regular season; the latter represents the strongest team in a season and is known as the highest honor in the NBA. When everyone discusses whether a star can be called a superstar, the regular season MVP and the championship are always the two core glory. It is impossible to compare which of the two has more weight, but it is indispensable.
　　 In the history of the NBA, the number of stars that have emerged from each era add up, and there are as many as a feather. But what are the superstars who are really called historical superstars and often mentioned?
Retired Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Karim Kareem Kareem, Irvine Johnson, Larry Bird, Hakim Olajuwon, Shaq O'Neill, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, etc. Of course, there are also active LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook who just got on this bus...
　　 For these people, the regular season MVP+ championship is already standard! Not only must personal performance conquer the entire league, but also bring the team to the top of the league.
　　 Of course, there is another category that will be talked about by people.
　　Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Alan Iverson, Steve Nash...
　　 These people are also superstars, they also conquered the entire league with their performance. But when people mention them, they will always carry a tragic color and call them "uncrowned kings." The championship has become a regret forever!
Although the league is constantly developing, the basketball system and the rhythm of the game are also changing with the progress of the times, but I have to admit that no matter which season, the players who can win the MVP have no personal ability to say. .
　　 Many years ago, the story of the alliance at that time was still "one person, one city". Everyone believes that by virtue of their own abilities, they can defeat all enemies. Therefore, when the MVP is selected, the team's star star does my part. But now, it is getting more and more difficult to win the championship. There are not many stars in a team, and it is impossible to make the final. After all, people like James's are almost there now.
　　 After James brought his talent to Miami that year, he directly grabbed the spotlight of Wade, who was the leading star. Everything belongs to James. Boss, who originally belonged to the MVP ranks, also fell down. Of course, they all got what they wanted. This is like a fair deal, no one suffers.
　　 Two years ago, Durant arrived in the Warriors, the same situation. In the MVP list of the past few years, Durant has always overtaken Curry. The opponent was a Lianzhuang MVP before and was the absolute core of Oakland. Of course, it is still. But after all, some sacrifices have to be made. And Curry is much better than Wade. After all, being on the list with Durant every year is also a recognition of his strength. This is also the reason why the Warriors are strong. They also have two regular season MVP players.
　　 The current Thunder has inevitably followed this path. The joining of Paul George completely let Westbrook, who had been delegating power to An Luo, completely let go. This is a mutual fulfillment. Westbrook needs help to help him take the Thunder to the top of the league, and he must provide others with a better platform to showcase himself. Westbrook did it, so the Thunder succeeded.
　　 This season, the Thunder have completely consolidated their position as the number one team in the league. Whether it is from the record or the performance of the star players, there is nothing to question. However, the Big Three are all ranked in the top 20 of the MVP, which is still somewhat surprising.
　　 This kind of thing happened to the Warriors. Last season, Green appeared on that list. Although it is only a flash in the pan, it is enough to prove that the Warriors are powerful. Including up to now, the Warriors' Curry and Durant still occupy two seats on this list. Of course, the final selection has nothing to do with this list. But this is a recognition of the players.
　　 Paul George, at the peak of his career, is playing the best season of his career. Although his performance on the offensive end was somewhat ups and downs, on the defensive end, it was enough to compete for the best defensive player this season. More importantly, the players in the entire league who can fight hard battles are almost all located at the third position. It can be said that the joining of Paul George gives them the confidence to face any team with a super small forward. Without Paul George, the Thunder would drop a lot on both ends of the attack. Looking at it in its current form, Paul George has gone for a double match this season.
　　 It is a rare thing that Westbrook does not enter this list~EbookFREE.me~ After all, he is capable of averaging a triple-double for three consecutive seasons. Although he seems to have completely lost his desire to score this season, he is approaching to become a historical passer. His leading assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio have made him the best number one in the league so far.
　　 More surprisingly, An Luo appeared in it and ranked higher than Westbrook. It is undeniable that this season, An Luo has indeed become the well-deserved number one scoring point in the Thunder. His stability and efficiency put Donovan and all the Thunder players at ease. But his role in the Thunder is like that. For comparison, the Warriors' Thompson is the best target. At best, it is a three-master. Perhaps, with any 3D player who shoots a bit more steadily, Oklahoma City will be able to "snap out" a brilliant data.
　　 But, that's just maybe. For any player with an average of 30+ per game, it is extremely disrespectful not to put him in the MVP sequence for discussion. Even if his stats per game are nothing but points! In the past month or so, no player in this league has done a better job of scoring than Anlo. Being at the top of the scoreboard is proof.
　　 Of course, for An Luo, that's all there is to. For him, it is too early to talk about MVP. But whether it is him, the media and fans who do not hate him, they believe that as long as there is no accident, An Luo's name will appear among the historical superstars one day. The changes on the field this year have already revealed a very good signal: the era of An Luo has just arrived.
