54+52+51, the first person in history, the MVP is locked, the teacher is not wronged to lose

With the fierce competition in the NBA playoffs, various individual awards of this season have also been revealed like mushrooms after a rain: the glory of the scoring king belongs to the rising star Alexander of the Thunder, who swept the league with his thunderous momentum; Kings center Sabonis Jr. won the rebounding king with his amazing rebounding ability; Hawks guard Trae Young won the assist king with his exquisite passing skills; Spurs star Wenban Yama has become the first to defend the sky and the sun. He is the king of blocks; Cavaliers forward Mobley won the Best Defensive Player with his rock-solid defense; Hawks defender Daniels won the Fastest Progressive Player Award with an amazing growth rate; Knicks defender Brunson repeatedly stood up at critical moments and became the most dazzling key gentleman; Warriors forward chased Dream Green, won the Best Fighting Award with his indomitable fighting spirit; and Celtic defender Prichard won the Best Sixth Man with his outstanding performance.

However, among these many honors, the most eye-catching thing is the most valuable personal honor - this season's MVP. Although the suspense has not been fully revealed, Alexander has almost locked in the honor. Of the two first votes that have been announced, 28 votes were cast for the Thunder without hesitation, while Jokic received 14 votes, while other players failed to get any first votes.

As early as the regular season, the competition for MVP focused on the two superstars, Alexander and Jokic. Their data performance and dominance are like two towering peaks, which stand out for the heroes. Although Antetokounmpo was once a strong contender for MVP, the Bucks where he is located has a poor record, which has become an insurmountable flaw. In the peak showdown between Alexander and Jokic, Jokic seemed to be unable to shake Alexander's leading position. On the one hand, the league tends to support newcomers, and Jokic has been awarded the MVP three times. If he wants to win this honor, he will undoubtedly face more stringent conditions. In history, only five legendary superstars, Jabbar, Russell, Jordan, Chamberlain and James, have been able to win MVP at least four times. Jokic obviously has a long way to go if he wants to join this ranks. On the other hand, the Nuggets and the Thunder are far behind this year, and Alexander led the Thunder to achieve remarkable results, which undoubtedly added a strong mark to his competition for MVP. During the regular season, Alexander showed his top strength on both offense and defensive ends with comprehensive data averaged 32.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. Not only did he set a number of historical records, he also averaged at least 30 points per game for three consecutive seasons, and shot more than 50%, becoming the first defender to achieve this feat after Michael Jordan. What's even more amazing is that he scored 30+ points in nine consecutive games against the top five teams in another division this season (a total of 10 mobile phone visits were handed over in the same season), which undoubtedly added more weight to his competition for MVP. A leader in creating a new chapter in history. Alexander has long been known for his rock-solid stability in the scoring field. He may not have frequently hit high scores like a sky, but his average of more than 25 points per game is common.

However, this season, Alexander achieved a qualitative leap in scoring ability. He scored more than 50 points in four single games, constantly setting new personal scoring highs, including 50 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists against the Suns, gorgeous data against the Rockets, 51 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, 52 points against the Warriors, and a shocking 54-point feast for the Jazz.

What is even more commendable is that Alexander's improvement in external projection skills can be regarded as a transformation. During the regular season, he averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game with a 37.5% three-pointer percentage, both of which set a new personal career record. In the past, his game style relied more on classical mid-range jump shots or tough scores at the basket. Now, the addition of three-pointers undoubtedly made his offensive arsenal more diverse, and his offensive firepower was significantly improved.

entered the fierce competition in the playoffs, and the head-on confrontation between Alexander and Jokic seemed to once again confirm the former's excellence. Although the two teams tied 1-1 in total, these two matches actually showed the Thunder's overwhelming advantage over the Nuggets, and the gap in strength between the two teams is obvious. Especially in the second game, Alexander made an astonishing 11 of 13 shots, efficiently scoring 34 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 84.6%, and his performance was breathtaking.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Alexander, who played for only 30 minutes, had a positive and negative value of up to +51. This data not only demonstrated his outstanding contribution, but also made him the first person in history, breaking the dusty record of positive and negative value of single players in the NBA playoffs. In contrast, Jokic scored only 17 points in the whole game, which was restricted by the Thunder's tight defense center, and his lack of emotional management was also exposed in the game. When the team is in trouble, Jokic often loses control and becomes more and more violent due to poor performance of his teammates. This is obviously undesirable for a team leader. In contrast, Alexander showed extraordinary calmness and calmness, which may be due to his experience and growth in the league. He started as a role player and gradually climbed to the throne of the team's core, always maintaining a humble heart.

54 points, 52 points, 51 points! A series of high-scoring records made him deserve the NBA MVP championship this season. When it comes to Alexander, people all admire his extraordinary achievements and outstanding leadership temperament. He is writing his own historical chapter with practical actions.. Teammate Jaylen Williams explained in a solemn tone: "In my opinion, when he sends a signal to the ball, the wisest move is to hand the ball directly into his hands. This strategy often has miraculous results. He has a selfless heart and firmly believes in our tactical system. This is the third year I have fought side by side with him. Trust is like a stream of streams, quietly accumulating between us. He knows that for the common victory of the team, he must trust each of us as we trust him, and his performance in this regard is a model. Because of this, we can gallop on the field without reservation and confidence."

Alexander was able to win the deep trust of his teammates, which is undoubtedly a strong evidence of his leadership temperament. Since entering the playoffs, the Thunder have shown undisputed potential for championships and have become the focus of everyone's attention. Let me ask, can the Thunder team overcome all obstacles and finally win the championship and start a new era of blue dynasty? This is undoubtedly a puzzle that all basketball fans are looking forward to.
