Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 28 28. Leading the MVP Ranking

On the second day of the Timberwolves' victory over the Nets, there is no doubt that the Timberwolves once again became the focus of the league.

It's just that this time it wasn't because the Timberwolves won, nor because the head coach Luke did something crazy again, but because the new aid Nehbar, who had just been signed by the Timberwolves, played an epic performance in his debut .

Nehbar efficiently contributed 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists throughout the game. It is hard to imagine that this is the data contributed by a player who has just stepped into the NBA.

Especially the eight assists on the offensive end, which is far more impactful than 21 points.

If he only contributed more than 20 points in his personal debut, it can only mean that the player's offensive ability is relatively good.

But he sent out eight assists in a single game in his first show, which means that the player's ability to read the game has reached a very high level.

So with Nehbar's outstanding performance in the last game, the Timberwolves became the focus of the league again not long after.

Even the fans can't remember how many times this is the first time the Timberwolves have become high-profile, because since the start of the new season, the team that people talk about the most has always been the Timberwolves.

Whether it's on or off the court, the Timberwolves this season seem to have changed a team, giving people the impression that they have changed from mediocre to the bright moon in the sky today.

Even when the Timberwolves had the No. [-] record in the Western Conference last season, people didn't think there was anything special about this Timberwolves team.

But this season's Timberwolves not only have a ridiculously good record, but also seem to surpass the Lakers and Kings in terms of popularity, which is really confusing.

If there is any essential change in the Timberwolves in the new season, it is that the head coach Luke took over the coach from the old Saunders.

Since Luke took office, this team has become wilder and more aggressive on the court, and it is truly a championship this season.

Especially when Garnett reached the peak, the madman's touch exploded, and the new aid Nehbar and veteran Karl Malone were in excellent competitive state, the Timberwolves have already begun to ride the dust on the road to the championship.

And this season will also be the year that Minnesota is closest to the championship. Regardless of whether Luke can lead the team to create miracles in the end, the madness revealed by the Timberwolves this year will definitely be imprinted in the minds of all fans! !

.....................

Since the Timberwolves had the No. [-] record in the Western Conference and the No. [-] record in the league last season, the Timberwolves were fortunate enough to be arranged by the league for a game in this year's Christmas game.

Before the Christmas game comes, the Timberwolves have a total of three games.

In these three games, the Timberwolves' competitive state is still very fierce, and they will do their best in every offense and defense on the court, truly achieving the goal of fighting for the ball, showing a passionate and tenacious side.

However, the Timberwolves only won two of these three games, and one loss was to the Pacers, who are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The Timberwolves' loss against the Pacers is not unjust, because apart from Garnett's stable performance and the two explosives on the court with O'Neal, Madman and Szczerbiak's performances are both poor.

其中狂人7分6篮板3助攻的数据还创下了本赛季个人得分新低，斯泽比亚克在三分线外同样只有7投1中。

This seriously retarded offensive efficiency is the main reason why the Timberwolves lost to the Pacers.

In addition, the strength of the Pacers this season is also very strong, so the Timberwolves had to swallow the fourth loss of the season.

It is worth mentioning that in the loss to the Pacers, Nehbar, who came off the bench, still contributed 11 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, continuing to write his own NBA chapter.

In addition, in these three games, Nehbar's performance has been very stable. Except for his lack of physical confrontation ability, Nehbar did not show any defects.

On the contrary, what Nehbar shows to people is his best side, which also makes more and more people start to look forward to what height the complete Nehbar can reach.

………………

On December 12, the league announced the latest MVP list.

Among them, Kevin Garnett still ranks first with a crushing advantage, and the second to fifth places are: Nash, Duncan, O'Neal, and Iverson.

The lowest scoring average among these players is Nash's 15.5 points per game, and the highest is Iverson's 30.6 points per game.

However, because the Suns currently rank second in the league with a record of 23 wins and 6 losses, and Nash averaged 11.5 assists per game, Nash can rank second on the MVP list.

As for Iverson, it was completely held back by the record of the 76ers. Judging from the current record of the 76ers, unless Iverson averages more than 35 points per game this season, Iverson is destined to compete with the [-]ers. Regular season MVP missed.

With the announcement of the latest MVP ranking list, fans have become numb to the fact that Garnett is still at the top of the list.

After all, except that Garnett ranked third on the MVP list in the first period, since then, Garnett has been firmly seated at the top of the MVP list.

并且截止到目前，加内特场均24.6分15.1篮板4.7助攻2.6抢断以及3.2次封盖的数据绝对称得上十分炸裂。

If the players behind want to counterattack Garnett and rise to the top of the list, in addition to playing a historical performance in terms of personal data, they must also surpass the Timberwolves in terms of record and rise to the top of the league.

Otherwise, according to the current situation, Garnett is already far ahead in the regular season MVP selection.

Because whether it is personal data or team record, this will become a plus for Garnett this season.

And once Garnett wins the regular season MVP again this season, then Garnett will become the ninth player in NBA history to win the regular season MVP.

As for the top eight, all of them are well-known names, such as Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, "Big Bird" Bird, "Magic" Johnson, Jordan, and Duncan.

Among these eight players, only Duncan is an active player, so as long as Garnett wins the regular season MVP this season, he will become the second active player to win this honor.

And can further narrow the historical position between himself and Duncan.

In other words, Garnett, who won the regular season MVP again, as long as he can win more championship rings than Duncan in the next career, then Garnett's historical status will always suppress Duncan.

After all, it is still 2004, and the current number one power forward in history is Garnett's teammate Karl Malone.

Apart from not having won the NBA championship, Karl Malone has not found any flaws.

However, this season, the Timberwolves where Karl Malone is located are already the biggest favorites in the league. If Karl Malone can win the championship trophy as he wishes, then the position of the number one player in history can be completely secured.

At least before Garnett and Duncan completely retire, Malone, who won the championship, can completely leave Barkley far behind, and no one can threaten Karl Malone's historical status within ten years.

Because Malone is still second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the NBA's historical scoring list, and is the second-highest regular-season scoring player in NBA history!
