Yesterday, the United States men's basketball team won the championship, achieving the fifth consecutive Olympic men's basketball championship. James was voted the MVP player of the Games. Some people began to question that the MVP should go to Curry and not to James.
Among them was former NBA player Marbury, who said on social media: "They gave the MVP to the wrong player, maybe they accidentally called the wrong name." We need to rewind back to the moment when Curry showed that he was the all-time top scorer. In international basketball, if you can't shoot, you can't get the ball at the end of the game. I understand that LeBron is the king of many, but let me put it this way: when you give him something he doesn't deserve, you say it's because of what he did that he deserves such high honor on the biggest stage. But no, he didn't win this honor for himself this time. ”
Good guys, just because Marbury used to have a little conflict with James, and now you jump out and use this kind of topic to attract attention?
There's no denying that Curry's three-point shooting was excellent in the semifinals against Serbia and the final against France, and he was the biggest contributor to United States' wins in both games, which we certainly graciously admit. If there is an FMVP award, Curry deserves it. As a result, Curry has increased his average points per game in the Olympics to the first place on the team.
However, the MVP is about taking into account the performance of the entire Olympic journey. Curry's performance in the group stage and the 1/8 finals was average, and it can be said that the role is not high. But James has always been very efficient, every time James breaks the game, the United States team lacks a ball-holding core, and frequent mistakes are chased by opponents. As long as James is present, the United States team is equivalent to having a fixed sea god needle and stabilizing the military's heart.
In this Olympics, James played an average of 24.5 minutes per game, scoring 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 66% from the field, 30.8% from three-point range, and 73.3% from the free throw line. Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.3 minutes per game while shooting 50% from the field, 47.8% from three-point range and 100% from the free throw line.
James' stats ranking within the United States team:
No. 1 rebounds per game 6.8
He averaged 8.5 assists per game
Average 1.3 steals per game
No. 1 in shooting percentage 66%
Averaged 24.3 minutes per game
The PER value is first 24.5
He averaged second in points per game with 14.2 points
Sixth in blocks per game with 0.3
James' performance convinced United States head coach Cole, saying:
"It's a blessing to finally be able to coach him after so many years. Of course, he's talented in everything, and he seems to have mastered every part of the game...... I'm a lifelong LeBron fan. ”
Moreover, in this Olympic Games, the United States men's basketball team's appearance efficiency value (EFF value), James and thick eyebrows ranked in the top two. Curry was only fourth.
Therefore, James has no problem winning this Olympic MVP.
After winning the championship, James and Curry were in a good mood, and the two sides took photos on social platforms and celebrated in various ways.
The reporter asked: "We have a dream team and a redemption team." So what is this team now? ”
James replied, "The Avengers." ”
At the United States men's basketball championship celebration dinner, James and Curry didn't know what they were talking about.
Some fans have an interesting interpretation, James: "It's over, Steve. You're going to go back and continue to play with Green, and I'm going to continue to play with Russell. ”
Curry: "I ......"
James also posted this photo on social platforms today, and the sunset was afterglow, and the last Olympic Games belonging to Janduku ended successfully.
It's been a beautiful and short journey, and the next step is for the two sides to go head-to-head in the NBA.
