His presence has been the one significant difference between this season and last, between a team that lost 61 percent of its games and missed the playoffs and a team that won nearly 61 percent of its games and reached the postseason for the eighth time in franchise history, and only the fifth time since moving to LA. 小保罗的出现让快艇有了巨大的变化 去年季赛快艇输了61%的比赛，而今年他们赢了61%，并闯进了季後赛 Mind you, CP3 helped to engineer such a massive turnaround during a lockout-shortened season, with all of two weeks to get acclimated to his new surroundings in training camp before the 66-game schedule began in earnest. Chauncey Billups, his most accomplished teammate and a fellow newbie to the team, went down with a ruptured Achilles' tendon in early February, leaving Mo Williams and Caron Butler (fresh off an ACL tear) as the next-most senior members of the squad as far as postseason experience is concerned. Mr. Big Shot在二月初就因伤倒下了 Meanwhile, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, the two young cornerstones of the franchise, actually showed some signs of regression. Griffin, in particular, took statistical steps back across the board, most notably at the free throw, though he still checked in as the league's seventh-most efficient player (23.4 PER, according to Basketball Reference). Griffin 和 Jordan 事实上出现了一些下滑的徵兆，特别是 Griffin Griffin 今年的罚球只有 52.1% (去年是64.2%) Griffin's incompetence in crunch time left Paul to carry the load. According to 82games.com, CP3 averaged 40.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists per 48 minutes of clutch time, which is defined as "4th quarter or overtime, less than five minutes left, neither team ahead by more than five points." Griffin 在关键时刻起不了作用，小保罗就只能担起责任了 在clutch time, 小保罗的PER 48：40.6分 6.0篮板 8.8助攻 (clutch time的定义：在第四节或OT, 终了时间低於5分钟, 任一队领先不超过5分) But frankly, trying to make CP3's case from a purely statistical standpoint is a losing battle. Paul certainly has nothing to be ashamed of, not after averaging 19.8 points, 9.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and a league-best 2.5 steals while ranking second in player efficiency rating, second in win shares, second in offensive rating and first in offensive win shares. All while finishing well outside the top 20 in the NBA in usage percentage. In other words, Paul did more with less than most. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What About 'Bron? LBJ 咧？ Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images LeBron, on the other hand, had a statistical season for the ages. The Miami Heat superstar strung together per-game averages of 27.1 rebounds, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals on a career-high 53.1 percent shooting from the field. As far as advanced metrics are concerned, James finished first in PER, seventh in offensive and defensive rating, second in offensive and defensive win shares and first in overall win shares, all while registering the league's third-highest usage rate. So, from a purely statistical standpoint, LeBron was the best player in the league. LBJ的数据是毫无疑问的领先，如果由数据来看，LBJ是最好的球员 But "best" and "most valuable" aren't necessarily one in the same. The Heat were the No. 2 seed in the East last season, and are the No. 2 seed once again this time around, though their win percentage dipped (however marginally) from .707 to .697. 但是 最好的球员 ≠ 最有价值球员 Surely, LeBron's efforts were highly valuable, especially given Dwyane Wade's recurrent injury problems, Chris Bosh's inability to do much of anything in the paint and the rest of the roster's general impotence. Still, in the grand scheme of things, James' play didn't do quite as much to move the needle as did CP3's. LeBron had another great year, yet the Heatles couldn't quite sneak past the often-Derrick-Rose-less Chicago Bulls to snag the top seed in the East. Also, there's no discounting that Wade—when healthy— played a huge part in keeping Miami at or near the top of the heap, a fact to which his PER of 26.3 (third-best in the NBA) is a clear testament. LBJ 今年还是很打得很棒，但热火还是没有干掉公牛，成为第一种子 更别提LBJ 身边还有一个 Wade - PER排名第三的球员 Making the jump from second to first may be tougher than going from 13th to fifth, as the Clippers did with Paul, but the sheer size of the gap closed has to speak to CP3's superiority, however slight, with regard to MVP candidacy. 要从第2升到第1，也许比从第13升到第5还难(CP3的快艇) 但这排名上的变动，也事关谁更有资格拿MVP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Love for the Durantula 那KD 咧？ Ronald Martinez/Getty Images What about Kevin Durant, then? title by pouring in 28 points per game, with career-highs in field goal percentage (.496), rebounds (eight per game), assists (3.5 per game) and blocks (1.2 per game). Along the way, the Durantula registered the fourth-best PER, the 20th-best defensive rating, the third-most offensive win share, the ninth-most defensive win shares and the third-most win shares overall with the fifth-highest usage rate. KD 今年PER排名第4 As far as teammates are concerned, Durant had the privilege of playing with one guy (Russell Westbrook) who's one of the top-10 guys in the league, another (James Harden) who's arguably in the top-20 and a third (Serge Ibaka) who's one of the most impactful defenders in basketball. In total, OKC's win percentage jumped from .671 to .721, landing them second in the West behind the San Antonio Spurs. 但只要队友是考虑因素之一，KD 队友的优势就很明显 他身边有一个联盟前10的队友(西河)、还有Harden和Ibaka From a numbers standpoint then, Durant falls somewhere near CP3, though Kevin's team that, unlike Chris', reached the playoffs in each of previous two seasons, making it all the way to the conference finals last year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ultimately, Paul's case for the MVP can best be made like that of your typical Coach of the Year (not including the job Gregg Popovich did with the Spurs this year). Like a coach on an up-and-coming team, CP3 came into a brand-new situation, with a team that hadn't so much as sniffed the postseason the year before, and constituted a significant portion of the difference between last season's mediocrity and this season's meteoric rise. 如果 MVP 的产生跟 COY 类似，是看这个人对球队带来多大帮助，那CP3就很有机会了。 It's not often that a player wins the MVP in his first season with a new team, but with the way the Clippers have improved with Chris Paul in the backcourt, Who should be the MVP? 所以，MVP 该颁给谁？ 1. Chris Paul 2. LeBron James 3. Kevin Durant --
