Chapter 85: The White-Hot MVP Battle
After defeating the Thunder on March 11, the Kings finally entered a rest period, and they will play against the Cavaliers at home in three days! This is the last confrontation between the two teams this season, and the focus match between James and Zhang Weifeng has also become the focus of the whole United States!
Although the two are not in the same position, the competition between them is definitely stronger than those against the players! Considering James' versatility, there are still many people looking forward to the reversal of James and Zhang Weifeng! After all, for two players who can play 2, 3, and 4 positions, it is not impossible for them to play against each other as usual!
That's why Zhang Weifeng and James have a strong competition. This season is mainly reflected in the competition of MVP in the regular season. James has been in the league for several years, and he has received a lot of honors, but few can really make moves! Just say, James had the opportunity to win the trophy on the All-Star Weekend in 2008 and 2009, but it was all because of Zhang Weifeng. James was both detested twice and failed to carry the All-Star MVP trophy home!
If the All-Star MVP trophy is nothing, then the MVP trophy in the regular season is absolutely of great significance to James! As the successor of the league, James has not yet won the MVP, which makes him a little anxious! His goal is to become a player of Jordan, and this requires him to win an honor comparable to Jordan! Jordan has 5 MVP trophys in the regular season, and James is almost 25 years old now, but he has not yet won a MVP trophy! And if he cannot make himself further in the Hall of Honor this season, then the gap between him and Jordan is destined to be gradually widening. As for whether he is another uncrowned king, it is still uncertain!
The Cavaliers have a good record, and James has won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in December and January this season! And in March! The Cavaliers' current record is still very good, and James has performed super amazingly, and he may once again win the Best of the Month in March!
The best player of the month is a great measure for a player! And the West is different from the East! The competition in the West is too strong! Zhang Weifeng is the best month in November, and December is also a critical moment in the Kings' 27-game winning streak. Zhang Weifeng has once again won the West's best month again, but in the next two months, Kobe and Paul were respectively elected the best month! And in March, the Lakers' record was even better, and Kobe's performance began to enter a hot state! Obviously, he has begun to accumulate strength for his second championship after leaving O'Neal!
Zhang Weifeng and James are the best players of the month this season so far, and the two teams have great records. The Kings are second in the West, while the Cavaliers are second in the East! Considering the super abilities of the two players, this game has been obtained by many countries in advance for live broadcast rights!
The arrival of the focus battle also means that the MVP competition in the regular season of 2008-09 season has reached a white-hot level! For this reason, many websites and experts have begun to make a comprehensive comparison of James and Zhang Weifeng!
James has been able to contribute points per game so far this season, and his shooting percentage can reach 50% for the first time. His three-point shooting percentage has also reached %. As for the free throw shooting percentage, which has been criticized, it can actually be said that after the last contest with the Kings, it has begun to rise! Of course, for James, the free throw shooting percentage can reach 80, which is already the top! Now he is %. He has a chance to have a free throw shooting percentage of more than 80% for the first time in a single season! And James has such high offensive efficiency and is almost
Average score of 30 points. It only took 37 minutes per game! It can be said that James this season is more like a cold-blooded killer. He has scored 50+ in a single game many times! Experts believe that when James gradually improves his offensive methods, he is fully capable of maintaining efficient scoring! Although he has won the scoring champion twice with averaging 30+ per game! James this season has not relaxed at all, and he can still rank under Wade with average scores and rank second in the scoring list!
In the 2004-05 season, James, who was in the second grade, began to make leaps and bounds. In this season, he ended the season with the third scoring list! In the 2005-06 season, James became the league's scoring leader with average points in the third year of his career! At that time, James was only less than 22 years old! From then on, James was a representative of a scoring machine! In the 2006-07 season, James entered a period of lows, but he was still able to rank fifth in the league with average points! Last season, James defeated Kobe with 30 points per game and became the league's scoring leader for the second time! He proved that his scoring ability was definitely not an accident! In this season, Wade reached the top strongly. So far, Wade can contribute 31 points per game, and James is not small distance from him. However, he still has the chance to win the three-point score in four years!
In fact, if you look at it this way, except for the regret of not being able to enter the top ten scoring list in the rookie season, James' ranking in the scoring list has never been lower than the top five in the next five seasons! And such results also prove one thing, that is, he must not underestimate James' scoring ability!

In addition to Nowitzki, the only inside line who can enter the top ten scoring list is Zhang Weifeng, a second-grade rookie!
Zhang Weifeng has been recognized by the league as the most likely player to contribute 30+ points per game as an insider and even win the league's scoring champion! As for rebounding and assists, Zhang Weifeng and James are not in the same position and cannot be compared, but they are both the best players in the same position!
Defensive ability! James is known as the best sports defense terminator in the league, and Zhang Weifeng has been an iron gate guarding the inside since the first day he entered the league. By this season, Zhang Weifeng's defensive efficiency has increased to a crazy level! And he is likely to become the youngest best defensive player in history!
The last thing to talk about is the efficiency of two people, which is the fundamental measure of whether a player is great! This season, Zhang Weifeng and James are the only two players in the league who can have an efficiency value of more than 30 in a single season!
