4-3 Promotion to the top is against the will of heaven! The toughest team in the NBA was born, you are more worthy of MVP than Alexander

This year, the NBA gods fight, and a number of dark horse teams are going to make a strong comeback, and there are also a group of traditional strong teams who are setting sun and gradually falling from the altar. The most embarrassing ones are the 76ers and the Suns, with a super luxurious Big Three lineup, but they can't even make it into the playoffs. Then there are the Bucks. When Lillard was introduced, the duo of Lillard and Antetokounmpo was predicted to be the strongest in active service, comparable to Kobe O'Neal's OK duo. As a result, in the two seasons after Lillard arrived, the Bucks' record did not rise but fell. While the dominance of the regular season declined, they were eliminated in a row in the playoffs. Antetokounmpo was still at its peak, but Li's personal ability was indeed much worse than before. Then there are the Lakers Clippers Los Angeles two-man who were also eliminated in the first round. The Clippers are a little tougher and fought to the tiebreak.

However, the Lakers were disappointing, they were completely bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. They had one dragon in the regular season and a bug in the playoffs. They were not only defeated by the following in the first round, but were also swept by the opponent Timberwolves Gentleman, without any power to fight back. The combination of James and Doncic is almost intriguing to break through the upper limit, but James is no longer the same. The Warriors became the last dawn of Western Conference giants, and they did not stick to the end. They fell to the Western Conference semi-finals. To be honest, the Warriors' performance this year is already very good. They have been hovering in the middle and lower reaches of the West in the first half of the season. It was not until Butler's joining that they ushered in a turning point, embarked on the road to the Northern Expedition, and entered the playoffs with a buzzer. If Curry hadn't been injured, the Warriors would probably have the power to fight against the Timberwolves, but as soon as Curry fell, the Warriors' tactical system collapsed, and it was inevitable that they would be eliminated.

With the elimination of the Warriors, the traditional super giants seemed to be wiped out in the NBA playoffs this year, Durant and Paul George who were stopped in the regular season. James, Harden and Leonard were stopped in the first round. Curry who stopped in the second round. Don't forget that there is another old-school super giant warrior, that is Westbrook. Unlike other traditional super giants, Westbrook has regressed more in recent years and its role positioning has changed faster. While becoming a role player, its contract has also dropped sharply from maximum salary to basic salary. Most people definitely cannot accept such a big gap, but Westbrook is indeed in a good mentality and has a strong ability to withstand pressure. Even though he has become a substitute player, he can still do his best in the game, show his enthusiasm, drive the entire team atmosphere, and help the team make contributions when necessary.

This year's playoffs, Westbrook has many highlights. For example, in the first round against the Clippers G1, Westbrook's key three-pointers helped the team drag into overtime, and gave a final kill and steal in overtime to end the game. With the Thunder's G1, Westbrook made a calm decision in the last attack, and did not make a breakthrough, but instead found the open Gordon, who finally completed a three-pointer final victory. Not only Westbrook, but the Nuggets have played extremely tough this season. Obviously, their books are far inferior to the 23-year championship season. Due to the loss of some high-quality role players and the decline in the ability of some core players, the Nuggets are still desperately acquiring the position in the last stage of this year's regular season to seek the last few tickets to the playoffs. They were not optimistic about the first round of the Clippers, but in the end, the Nuggets advanced 4-3.

In the second round, the Nuggets faced the league's No. 1 Thunder, their physical fitness was still not bottomed out, and they could still persist until the tiebreak. In the end, regardless of the victory or defeat, they were very admirable, because the Thunder did have more obvious advantages. They were the first in the West for two consecutive years. All the players were young and energetic, and the intensity of the confrontation was full. After sweeping the Grizzlies 4-0 in the first round, the Thunder also got so much rest time. Logically speaking, it should be easy to defeat the Nuggets. However, the Nuggets are indeed tougher than we imagined. They have not had a break until the end of the regular season. What's even more outrageous is that they experienced team turmoil during that period and were once facing a storm of team dismantling. The teacher was revealed to be dissatisfied with the team's locker room atmosphere. Head coach Malone and general manager Booth were both fired. Under such circumstances, the Nuggets can still come back to life in the playoffs.

There is another suspense this season, which MVP will win. The MVP awards should have been announced as early as the end of the first round, but they have not been announced until now. To be honest, judging from the regular season performance, Alexander is indeed more advantageous than Jokic, the league's scoring leader and the team's record is the first in the gap. However, the league probably wants to see who is better in the head-on confrontation between Alexander and Jokic in the playoffs. In fact, in the playoffs, Alexander obviously couldn't do it. His scoring was too dependent on the whistle, and his shooting efficiency became quite unstable, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped by more than ten percentage points compared to the regular season. On the other hand, although there are some ups and downs in the playoffs, the dominance is indeed undeniable. He scored 40+15 double-double many times, leading the Nuggets to move forward with difficulty. The NBA's No. 1 player in the world is well-deserved. If the performance of the two rounds of the playoffs is combined, Jokey's Wizards is worthy of MVP, what do you think?
