Chapter 206 United Against Power
The Hukai century battle attracted the attention of many fans. Although the game process did not have a climax, and the result was no overtime or sniping, it was not as exciting as imagined, but it also set off an upsurge of discussion among fans. After the game, the topics were one after another. Have fun.

But the three of O'Neal and Kobe suddenly tweeted their support for Tianyang's winning the regular season MVP in the 16-17 season, which instantly caught the attention of all fans.

Fans are more enthusiastic about discussing the MVP battle than the Hukai war. In just 10 minutes, this topic has rapidly expanded from niche sports forums to various mass social network communities.

The discussion lasted for three full days. Fans started to compare Tianyang and Westbrook's basic data, scoring, rebounding, assists and grabbing, and finally rose to high-level data such as scoring per round of playing time and MVP sharing.

In short, wherever data can be used to quantify, compare them all.

Comparable to the past, SkyOcean’s biggest advantage lies in bringing the Lakers from the bottom one in the West to the current top five in the West; Both triple-doubles.

The public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. After three days of arguing, no one was able to convince anyone.

Just when the heat of fans' discussion is about to disappear, the NBA officially announced the latest MVP ranking report on February 2, adding another fire to this discussion.

The report shows that in the past 4 games, Tianyang has led the Lakers to victory over the Nuggets, Wizards, Celtics, and Knicks, averaging 29.8 points, 8.4 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game, ranking second, up one place from before.

In the past 4 games, Westbrook has led the Thunder to 2 wins and 2 losses, averaging 28.6 points, 11.4 assists and 10.3 rebounds per game, ranking first, unchanged from before.

Tianyang fans tweeted that Westbrook is indeed better in terms of personal data, but if the MVP is finally determined by personal data, Tianyang can score points at will and easily crush it.

Such a statement was naturally strongly opposed by Westbrook fans. They pointed out that the literal meaning of MVP is "Most Valuable Player".
The two sides once again set off a debate, but unfortunately they still haven't convinced each other.

But both parties understand one truth: they will never be able to convince each other, and the purpose of arguing is to gain the support of a third party.

Because of the ownership of the MVP, it finally fell into the hands of fans and reporters.

Obviously, the TNT camp headed by O'Neill absolutely supports Tianyang, while the camp headed by ESPN may not fully support Westbrook, but it is absolutely impossible for most of them to support Tianyang.

If the two major TV stations are tied, then reporters from Yahoo, USA Today, Sports Illustrated and other media are the focus of the competition, and the final result may be very close.

For this reason, O'Neal tweeted again that SkyOcean's performance was worthy of winning the MVP. As long as the reporter friends voted for it, he would express his greatest personal thanks, and then Kobe and other Lakers celebrities also retweeted and said the same.

Westbrook fans advocated that this was blatant bribery, and the league should stop it.

It's a pity that the league has not spoken out, and the Lakers' official public canvassing activities are increasing.

Just when Westbrook fans lamented that there are so many people in Los Angeles and it is difficult to have support in a small place in Oklahoma City, Jordan spoke up!
Through a TV interview, he stated very formally: As long as Westbrook can maintain an average triple-double for the season and the Thunder enters the playoffs, even if they are ranked 8th, Westbrook should also win the MVP of the 16-17 season.

Because averaging a triple-double in a season has been rare for decades, leading the team from a weak to competitive, only two All-Stars are enough, and the Lakers lineup seems to be all young people, but the three rookies are all All-Stars , it is normal that the current record is better than that of the Thunder.

Jordan's voice not only endorsed Westbrook, but also proposed a new degree. The Thunder indeed only have Westbrook as an All-Star player, and the Thunder's style of play has changed a lot, which naturally has a great impact on the record.

After Jordan, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and Ray Allen also voiced their support for Westbrook to win the regular season MVP, and even Leonard, who ranked fourth in the MVP Said that the MVP will only choose between him and Westbrook.

Obviously, all the signing stars of Jordan's weight are speaking out in support of Westbrook.

SkyOcean fans left messages on Adidas official Twitter, hoping that Adidas players would also stand up and express their support.

But Adidas officials turned a deaf ear to it, so some people analyzed and speculated: Nike did not enter the field. If Adidas entered the field first, even if Kobe Bryant endorsed Tianyang, he would also be crushed in terms of star influence.

Because there are too many big-name NBA stars under Nike, taking the initiative to fight is tantamount to courting death.

For a moment, all SkyOcean fans shrank back, not daring to show their atmosphere.

Just when Westbrook fans were wantonly celebrating their staged victory, some fans used a long article to analyze from four aspects: team record, personal data, team role, and public image, and finally came to the conclusion: It is the player who should have won the MVP of the 16-17 season.

With the addition of a third player to the MVP battle, the situation suddenly became more chaotic.

Westbrook fans and Harden fans started a debate. Compared with each other, the average triple-double is still dominant.

No way, the average triple-double is so ruthless. In terms of visual and auditory impact, the team has become stronger and the team's record is second in the league. Many fans and reporters who rarely watch games are very excited.

Amid heated discussions among fans, the time came to February 2, when the NBA officially released the MVP rankings again.

From the 9th to the 16th, a total of 4 games were held. Tianyang led the team with 2 wins and 2 losses, and the ranking fell from second to third. Harden led the team with 3 wins and 1 loss to return to second place. The first place is still occupied by Westbrook .

Since it is late February and after the All-Star Weekend, there are only 2 games left in the entire season. It can be said that Westbrook's MVP win, unless he suddenly dies, is basically a certainty.

For this reason, the fans of Tianyang and Harden decided to unite to reverse this trend.

The fans of the two sides decided to concentrate their strength and use the method of "flattering each other" to steal the attention of neutral fans and media reporters, which is known as "United Resistance".

But some neutral fans pointed out that there is no need to make it so complicated, as long as Tianyang or Harden can perform better than Westbrook in the All-Star Game, and then win again in the Lakers/Rockets VS Thunder game after the All-Star Game, continuously hitting neutral fans With the ideas of media reporters, it will naturally attract a lot of votes.

The All-Star Game is indeed an opportunity for fans and reporters to change their minds.

Because the attention of the main game is at least ten times higher than that of any regular season.

With such a proposal, fans of both sides felt that it was feasible, and they all went to Tianyang and Harden to leave messages on social networks, hoping that they would adopt this suggestion.

Just when everything was going according to plan, a piece of news that was extremely unfavorable to Tianyang suddenly appeared.

WOJ broke the news that because of the Cousins ​​nightclub injury incident, the Kings could not bear it and decided to trade at a loss. Among the teams currently in contact, the Lakers have the greatest advantage. The only variable is whether the Pelicans dare to bet.

After all, Cousins ​​has declared that he will only renew his contract with the Lakers.

The reason why this revelation made Tianyang unfavorable was that the Lakers' acquisition of an All-Star center at a low price would cause many reporters to form a wrong understanding of Tianyang's strength, and may even deny his previous achievements.

Moreover, Cousins ​​joining the Lakers will threaten many teams in the playoffs, including the Rockets.

The 'United Anti-Wei' alliance broke down in an instant!
　After spending half a morning and half an afternoon, I finally sorted out this plot.
