FIBA's official website announced the latest Olympic men's basketball MVP list! Durant is only fifth!
The FIBA men's basketball team updated the MVP list of the latest Olympic men's basketball team, with United States team James continuing to rank first, Canada's Alexander ranking second, Serbia Jokic ranking third, Germany's Schroeder ranking fourth, and the most surprising thing is that Durant can only rank fourth! I'm curious about what this list is based on, Canada's Alexander, Germany's Schroeder and Serbia's Jokic are all the absolute core of their respective teams, Canada and Germany both won the group with a 3-0 record, and they faced a much bigger challenge than the United States, Group A is the recognized group of death. The United States team has a huge advantage in its own right, and a 3-0 result is a matter of course, although United States, Germany, and Canada are also 3-0, but in terms of the difficulty of the squad and opponents. Canada is the largest, Germany is second, and United States can only be ranked third! The MVP list should also be ranked in this order!
What are the selection criteria for MVP? The person who ranks first in score, efficiency, and contribution value is the second?
Secondly, the most incomprehensible is the comparison of data within the United States team, whether it is score, efficiency, plus-minus or victory contribution value after two games, it is completely dominant, and it is completely dominant, comprehensively crushing James! Although Durant came off the bench, United States trailed by 7 points before Durant came on the court against Serbia, and the score was reversed in an instant after his appearance. The second game was the same, before Durant's debut, the United States team was also suppressed by South Sudan, and after the debut, Durant led the team to establish an advantage with 8 consecutive points! In the two games, James averaged 16.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 turnovers per game, shot a total of 22 times, and ranked first on the team with a plus/minus of +14, ranking second to last among players who played in all two games! Durant's stats are 18.5 points, 2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 turnover per game, a total of 13 shots, the third lowest on the team, and a plus/minus of +46, ranking first among players who have played in all two games!
James hit 14 of 22 shots in two games, and Durant hit 10 shots out of 14 shots, crushing James with efficiency! What's more interesting is that James is significantly ahead of Durant in terms of playing time, number of shots, ball possession, and ball possession! In other words, his stats are obtained through high playing time and ball possession, James played a total of 46 minutes in two games, ranking second on the team, and first on the team with 22 shots! Especially against South Sudan, United States won by 17 points, but James played a plus/minus of -7, ranking first from the bottom of the team! In other words, the United States lost by as many as 24 points during James' absence!
Jumping horizontally repeatedly, the first person in the voting world deserves his name!
Back to the most interesting question, whether it is in the NBA or in the international arena, as long as there is a game for James, when he has an advantage in regular statistics such as points, rebounds, assists, and shooting percentage, the media's selection criteria must be scores, rebounds, assists, and shooting percentage! And when James has no advantage in these three items, he will look at the so-called high-level data, plus and minus, victory contribution value, etc.! When the Lakers won the championship in 2020, the regular data of thick eyebrows was slightly inferior to James, and the high-level data crushed James, but FMVP thick eyebrows had 0 votes! And now that Durant has come to the FIBA arena and his high-level data have comprehensively crushed James, he is not as good as James in terms of rebounds and assists, and now there is a James who is more comprehensive! The first person in the voting world deserves his name!
