Send away the 4th MVP, the new alliance king ascends the throne, Xiao Hua s goal has been achieved, the old and new have been completed

After the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors, it was actually not just a round of promotion in a series, but more importantly, we saw a lot of things in this round of series. For example, the three Timberwolves are getting better, for example, Edwards has performed superstar-levelly, and Randall has refreshed everyone's perception of him. Sending off the 4th MVP, the new king of the alliance ascended the throne, Xiao Hua's goal has been achieved, and the old and new have been completed alternately.

In fact, the most important existence is that the alliance has quietly completed the replacement of new and old. Let’s not talk about anything else, just like Edwards’ playoff resume over the past two years, it is definitely a significant reflection of the alternation between the old and the new. Last season, Edwards eliminated Durant and Jokic in the playoffs, which was the first time Edwards eliminated MVP players in a row. Although Jokic was in his prime, Edwards was a younger existence, and there was no controversy about this.

This season, Edwards started his MVP journey again, eliminating James in the first round and eliminating Curry in the second round. Including Curry, this is the fourth MVP player Edwards has sent away in the past two years. From this perspective, it is also quite lively. Everyone knows that players who can get MVP are definitely not ordinary people. So Edwards has done these things in the playoffs, which is also a bonus for confidence in the guys.

From the surface, it seems to be a simple elimination of MVPs. In fact, if you go deeper, this is in line with the interests of the alliance, and it is also in line with the direction of the alliance, and it is also the goal achieved by President Xiao Huaneng. As we all know, competitive sports often make a living by youth. After players reach a certain age, even if they maintain their condition well, the league needs to change the old and new. Edwards seems to be eliminating MVP players, but in fact he is alternating with the league.

Edwards has been in the league for a long time, and it is indeed time to achieve results. This time entering the Western Conference Finals means that the new king has ascended the throne. For President Xiao Hua, although old stars can bring traffic, the league still needs to be pragmatic and look at it in the long run. You can look at the current team. There are almost no veterans on the Knicks, let alone Green Kai. The Thunder are also young teams, and the Nuggets are similar. Therefore, the league is more willing to see young teams go further, and they have been through this for so many years.

In fact, if you pay attention to the development context of the entire NBA, you basically present this pattern. From Kobe to James to Curry, etc., we all came step by step. Now it’s just the turn of Edwards and Alexander. In general, when the veteran team is eliminated, there is no need to regret it, because they are already full of honor and it is time to hand over the scepter.
