At the post-match press conference.

"Lin! Congratulations on becoming the first player in NBA history to average more than 40 points per game in the regular season! How do you feel now?"

A male reporter wearing glasses asked Lin Tian excitedly.

"You know, everything I do is to win, and to average such a high score and win, it feels great.

"Winning the scoring and steals titles at the same time, what do you think is your probability of being selected as MVP this season?"

"One hundred percent! There is no doubt about this, and I believe everyone here is also aware of it."

Although Lin Tian was quite modest when facing reporters' questions, there was no need to be modest in answering this question.

His statistics this season! It can even be said that he is the strongest regular season MVP in NBA history.

Put together the MVP seasons of all regular season MVP players over the past decades! Lin Tian will definitely win the MVP without any suspense!

Another reporter asked: "As we all know, the Warriors achieved an excellent record of 73 wins last season! But because they worked too hard in the regular season, they failed to even make it out of the Western Conference in the playoffs! Are you worried about the Lakers?

Will the team follow in the footsteps of the Warriors and ultimately miss the championship?"

Lin Tian smiled and shook his head: "Impossible! Because the Lakers are not warriors! We have all the conditions to win the championship! No one can beat us!"

…

After returning home, Lin Tian opened the regular season ranking list.

In addition to the game between the Lakers and Clippers, several teams also played today.

As the time came to early morning, the regular season of this season has officially come to an end.

The rankings of the East and West are also out.

The Celtics are ranked first in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers are second, the Rams are third, and the Wizards are fourth.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers are undoubtedly ranked first, followed by the Warriors in second, the Spurs in third, and the Rockets in fourth.

What's interesting is that although the Celtics are first, they only won 53 games.

If they were placed in the fiercely competitive Western Conference, they would only be ranked fifth! Even the Rockets have a better record than them.

The Cavaliers' 51 wins, if they come to the Western Conference, are only better than the Thunder and Grizzlies who have entered the playoffs in the Western Conference.

Last season, the pattern of strong west and weak east was already obvious, but this season, it is even more outrageous.

Ranked eighth in the Western Conference is the Grizzlies. They won a total of 43 games in the regular season and will be the Lakers' first-round opponent.

Interestingly, the Warriors' opponent in the first round will be the Thunder.

When the time comes, Durant and Westbrook will meet in the playoffs, which will definitely be exciting.

After Lin Tian read the ranking list, he clicked on the personal data list.

This season, his statistics have improved across the board, averaging 40.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, leading the pack.

In addition to him, Westbrook and Harden's statistics are also extremely terrifying.

Among them, Westbrook averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, 10.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, making him another player after Big O who averaged a triple-double in the regular season! If it weren't for Lin Tian's incredible statistics, he would only attract more attention.

.

Harden, who ranks third in the scoring list, also averaged 29 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists per game.

What many people don’t know is that Harden is actually not far from averaging a triple-double this season.

The Rockets he leads have a better record than the Thunder led by Westbrook.

In Lin Tian's previous life, the MVP battle between Westbrook and Harden in the 2016-2017 season was very controversial.

Many people believe that Westbrook was able to win the MVP that season mainly because of his triple-double bonus.

Before this, averaging a triple-double per game was an unattainable feat for all fans!

But to Lin Tian, ​​all this is not important.

Because this season, there are still more than two months until the MVP is announced, but it is already a certainty that Lin Tian will win the MVP.

His statistics and team record! Unless Westbrook's statistics are 30+15+15, there may still be a chance to challenge him.

Compared with Lin Tian's 40+6+7+2.3+1.8 data, the data of 30+10+10 seems mediocre.

In fact, with Lin Tian's current ability, it is not difficult to average a triple-double per game. It is just a question of whether he wants to.

Turning off the personal data list, Lin Tian clicked on Penguin Sports News:

…

Lin Tian didn't look at his phone for too long, so he turned it off and fell asleep.

The next day, before the sun rose, Lin Tian had already gotten up.

The end of the regular season does not mean that they have enough time to rest. On the contrary, they only have two days of rest before playing in the playoffs.

During these two days of rest, the team often does not give them a holiday, but begins to make adjustments for the opponents they will face in the first round.

The Lakers, who ranked first in the regular season, were playing in eighth place, but the pressure was not small.

Because the Grizzlies' iron barrel formation has caused trouble for many teams this season.

With Conley and Gasol leading the lineup, they can attack and defend.

There have been many black and white situations in history, so no one dares to be careless.

After two days of targeted training, on the night of April 15th, the G1 game between the Lakers and Grizzlies officially started.

The starting lineup for the home Lakers is: Dellavedova, Wade, Lin Tian, ​​Tucker and Howard.

The starting lineup for the away Grizzlies is: Mike Conley, Wayne Selden, Vince Carter, JaMychal Green and Gasol.

The Grizzlies' player at the three position turned out to be veteran Vince Carter.

The 39-year-old Vince Carter averaged 8 points per game this season and has completely transformed into a three-point shooter, shining brightly for the Grizzlies.

But in so many years of his career, he has never won a defensive honor, not to mention he is already 39 years old! How can he stop Lin Tian?

Vince Carter was not even 2 meters tall! In every aspect, he was crushed by Lin Tian.

In the cruel playoffs, Lin Tian will not respect the old and love the young.

He pushed Carter into the paint easily and freely again and again, and then put the ball into the basket!

But in the first few minutes of the first quarter, Carter made 6 of 6 shots, which made Carter extremely embarrassed.

Grizzlies player Fizdale thought Carter could use his experience to defend Lin Tian, ​​but he was totally wrong.
Chapter completed!
