The Dallas Mavericks will have the honor of becoming the first team to be stabbed in the playoffs.

Only Mavericks can personally verify the length of a grizzly bear.

According to this situation, the Trail Blazers will play the Jazz in the first round...

I don't know what Boozer thinks, maybe he can't sleep well at night.

But Pao'er is definitely excited.

How many times in your lifetime can you have the chance to defeat Deron in the playoffs?

Must grasp it well!

Judging from the regular season match record between the two sides, there should be no problem for the Trail Blazers to pass the Jazz.

In the second round, they will face the winner of the Suns and Nuggets.

Neither the Suns nor the Nuggets are very good defensively. They both play fast-paced offensive basketball. This series may be the most exciting in the first round.

Although the Nuggets have Guagua and AI, the Suns' offense has been tempered and experienced.

The sun will most likely win.

Then in the second round, the Trail Blazers' opponent will most likely be the second-place Suns...

The regular season record between the Trail Blazers and Suns is 1 win and 3 losses, which is a bit worrying.

Although the two sides met for the last time in the regular season, McMillan made some targeted arrangements and finally defeated the Suns.

But it was just one game after all, and the sample was too small.

When it comes to the best-of-seven playoffs, it's hard to say which one is better.

So when it comes to the Western Conference Finals...

Either the Mavericks or the Lakers, there is no doubt about that.

If the Lakers beat the Spurs, they will definitely pass.

Although Deng Ding can match up with Yao Ming, without Bowen, the Spurs have to defend Kobe Bryant.

As for the Mavericks beating the Grizzlies... Even though the Trail Blazers abandoned Zach this year, there is still a big gap between the Grizzlies' lineup and the Mavericks.

If this can be a miracle, then a real miracle will happen here.

Therefore, the opponent in the Western Conference Finals is either the Lakers or the Mavericks.

McMillan suddenly had a heavy expression on his face. The 60 wins suddenly didn't feel so good anymore.

After Wayne took a shower, he went to attend the post-game press conference.

When they arrived at the door of the press conference, Aunt Jenny also gave Wayne a big hug.

"Congratulations, your first 60 wins in your career! You are awesome!"

"Thank you, Jenny. Your answer last time about the 50% chance of winning against the Lakers was also great."

"Hey, come on in. The playoffs are about to start, and today's press conference may be very lively."

As always, Wayne took the small piece of paper from Jenny's hand, then pushed the door open and walked into the press conference.

As soon as we entered, there was a sudden burst of applause and flashes of light.

"Congratulations on setting a record of 60 wins, Wei."

"This is dedicated to the City of Torn." Of course Wayne was very knowledgeable and responded with a smile.

After that, it’s the regular question-and-answer session.

As Jenny said, most of them are questions related to the playoffs. Wayne has answered a lot of questions in the past few days, so he can answer questions freely with reporters.

Just when Wayne thought he could easily deal with reporters today, an unexpected question came up.

"Wayne, in the latest MVP rankings just released, you were ranked second, second only to Dirk Nowitzki.

What do you think is your advantage over Dirk?"

Wayne was a little stunned when he heard this question.

It’s not like Wayne hasn’t paid attention to this year’s MVP rankings.

Most of the time, he hovered between third and fifth, so Wayne didn't pay much attention.

Although the MVP ranking is just a ranking predicted by the media, it does not represent the final result.

But generally speaking, the top two people have a greater chance of winning.

Wayne really didn't know that he actually climbed to second place in the latest MVP rankings just announced!

This year, the competition for MVP is honestly not particularly fierce.

If MVP is divided into big and small years like the draft, then this year will undoubtedly be a small year for MVP.

Dirk, who ranks first, averages 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. To be honest, his statistics are almost the same as Wayne's.

Wayne averaged 25.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.0 blocks per game this season. Overall, Wayne's data is even more comprehensive than Dirk's.

Compared with last season, apart from slightly fewer assists, Wayne's various statistics have increased to a certain extent.

It's normal to have fewer assists, after all, all three of the Trail Blazers can handle the situation now.

Of course, MVP is not just based on personal data, but also based on team record and season dominance.

Otherwise, it is not impossible that the data is equivalent to or even better than Wayne and Dirk.

Kobe Bryant has 28.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals this season. His statistics are also good, but his record is only 58 wins, which is a bit uninteresting.

Mousse averaged 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, but he only had 50 wins, which is definitely not enough.

Therefore, the stars of the three 60-win teams, Dirk, Wayne and Nash, are the three players most likely to win MVP.

It is worth mentioning that all three of them are international players.

Well, there are definitely American fans who are unhappy with this.

Since Nash has already won the MVP twice in a row, it is unlikely that he will win it for three consecutive years.

The three consecutive MVPs historically have been at the level of Russell, Chamberlain and Bird.

King Bi: Yes, there is me again. Oh, it’s distressing!

And Nash still doesn't have a ring, so it's obviously not appropriate to give him three consecutive MVP awards.

Wayne estimated that this may be the reason why he suddenly surpassed Nash and ranked second.

So now, the MVP competition is basically between Wayne and Dirk.

Dirk's biggest advantage over Wayne is that he has won 7 more games.

Don't underestimate these 7 games. This is the best regular season record in the history of the Mavericks. Moreover, it is also one of the best regular season records in the 21st century.

The Lakers in 2000 also won 67 games, and Shaq naturally became the MVP that year.

It is said that Shaq almost became the unanimous MVP that year. If he did, Shaq would make history.

But there was a reporter named Fred Hickman who very uniquely voted for AI.

Just like that, with just one vote, Shaq missed the unanimous MVP award.

Until Shaq retired, he was very angry whenever he talked about this incident.

Although he was only one vote away, Shaq was undoubtedly the MVP.

It can be seen that a record of 67 wins is still a bonus.

But then again, Dirk's dominance this season cannot be compared to Shaq's back then.

At that time, Shaq was basically killing all the league's best players, but Dirk was barely good in this regard.

If you put him against Duncan, KG, Wayne and others, there is no guarantee that he can beat them.

Thinking of this, Wayne suddenly became a little excited.

Let's put it this way...I really have a chance to win MVP this season!

The Trail Blazers have gone from a weak team to a 60-win team, which is a pretty good record.

"Wei? What do you think your advantage is?" The reporter saw that Wayne was stunned for a long time, so he asked again.

"My advantage? Well, maybe we beat the Mavericks more times this season.

Actually, I don’t want to talk about MVP right now, I just want to perform well in the playoffs.”

Wayne himself laughed, this is a lie, who doesn't care about MVP!

Those who say they don’t care won’t get it!

But it’s useless to care. There is no hard and fast indicator for this thing. Whether it can be achieved depends entirely on the preferences of the reporters who voted.

So, if you want it, you have to wait.

After leaving the press conference, looking at Jenny, Wayne couldn't help but giggle.

"What's wrong?"
