I am not a fan of Westbrook, but I always have full respect for Westbrook and appreciate Westbrook! Because he, like the boss, has a paranoid love for basketball and a desire to win! Facing the strong enemy Bucks today, Westbrook did not back down. Even though there was a gap in the team's strength, why was Westbrook ever afraid? Falling to the ground to fight for the ball, and letter brother for rebounds, Westbrook is still the fearless Westbrook!
Although the team lost Bucks in the end, but Westbrook tried his best, scored triple-double in three quarters, and Westbrook scored 29 points, 12 rebounds 17 assists on 12 of 20 shots in the whole game, and only had two turnovers. It is worth mentioning that this is Westbrook's 24 triple-doubles in the past 30 games, his 33rd personal triple-double this season, and his 179th career triple-double. There are still two games left to tie the league's triple-double record of 181 times, and three games will surpass it to become the first player in the league's history of triple-doubles! Wizards There are 5 games left in this season and 3 triple-doubles in 5 games, which does not seem to be difficult for Westbrook. It is really only a matter of time before the three-double king of history is locked. What a blessing for fans to witness the creation of a new league record! Really looking forward to the day when Westbrook makes history!
Pre-match triple-double king Robertson also said in an interview: "I look forward to seeing Westbrook break his own triple-double record. I think Westbrook is one of the elite guards, and I also think some It's absurd for sports reporters to criticize him just because he hasn't won a championship. There's no player who can win championships on your own, you have to have good management, you have to find the right teammates."
Maybe Westbrook's career also Can't touch the O'Brien Cup, but that doesn't hinder Westbrook's greatness.Westbrook said in an interview: "I just enjoy the fun of the game, play and well. When my career is over and I say goodbye to the game, I will look back on it all. Whether it's gorgeous or ugly, I will be grateful." No matter what the outcome is, Westbrook will have a clear conscience when he retires!
center flourishes again! When talking about the league's best players this season, Embiid and Jokic come to mind. On the league's latest MVP list, Jokic and Embiid ranked first and second respectively. The two not only have the battle for the best center but also the MVP competition! The performances of Jokic and Embiid this season are phenomenal. Jokic averaged 26.4 points, 10.9 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, leading the Nuggets to a record of 44 wins and 22 losses, ranking third in the West! And Embiid averaged 29.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, leading the 76ers to a record of 45 wins and 21 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference!
The season is coming to an end, and the MVP battle is getting more and more fierce. Embiid has made no secret of his desire to win the MVP, and bluntly feels that he is the MVP of this season. Although and are a bit arrogant, they have the confidence to perform well on the court. Facing the Rockets today, Embiid easily clocked in and got off work in three quarters. After only 24 minutes of playing, he made 10 of 17 free throws and 14 of 16 free throws. He scored 34 points and 12 rebounds. The brute force you have passed will always be realized, there is no way, your own strength is strong.This also makes him the first player in the history of the 76 team to score 30+10 in 25 minutes!
Look at Embiid's outstanding performance this season: 45 points and 16 rebounds against the Heat; 42 points and 10 rebounds against the Celtics; 50 points and 17 rebounds against the Bulls; 40 points and 19 rebounds against the Jazz; Nets scored 39 points and 13 rebounds; playing the Clippers scored 36 points and 14 rebounds!
Embiid himself said about MVP in an interview: "I was dominant all season. When I got the ball, it was either a foul or a direct score. I think I should be the MVP. "
Teacher Ye smiled slightly in the face of Embiid, who had performed well and was aggressive. Facing the dark horse Knicks in the east, Mr. Yue started killing in the first quarter, scoring 24 points in a single quarter to establish the victory! Are you Embiid clocking in for three quarters? I clock in a single quarter so that the last three quarters will become garbage time ! Jokic easily contributed 32 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in 29 minutes of this game. Teacher Yo is really awesome, the MVP is mine, whoever is still dissatisfied here stands up, I Jokic will fight until you are convinced!
Look at Jokic's wonderful performance this season: 29 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists against the Kings; 37 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists against the Bucks; 41 points against the Blazers; 41 points against the Celtics 43 points; 50 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists against the Kings; 47 points and 12 rebounds against the Jazz; 47 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists against the Grizzlies.
The Nuggets coach also said: "Why Jokic is the MVP, we are doing what we usually do, there must be a good player, and we have it. There are many good players around him, but Jokic Set the tone of the game!" Jokic had a normal attitude in the face of the coach's praise, Jokic said in an interview: "I never thought about winning the MVP, and this is not the purpose of my coming to the NBA.I always felt that I was the underdog, always thinking of defeating the stronger. I just played with this dark horse mentality. "
The two major MVP candidates have completely different mentalities when facing MVP. But it is the outstanding performance of Jokic and Embiid that allows us to vaguely see the prosperity of the four major centers in the 1990s. In this small ball era, more Many center players have become the team's blue-collar players. They only need to focus on defending and rebounding, and occasionally eat a cake. Their role in the team is seriously weakened. On the one hand, it is the need for team tactics in the small-ball era, on the other hand, it is in the league. The serious decline of center players. This is not a problem in the era of small balls. It needs to be hard on its own. If your team has such super strong centers as Jokic and Embiid, would you have the heart to be a blue-collar player? The answer is definitely not!
