Not much suspense! Who will be the MVP in the 2025 NBA Finals? There is a high probability that these two will be the only candidates.

Basketball

The NBA Finals hit a highly anticipated tiebreaker. Judging from the performance of the first six games, the Thunder was the more proactive side. Although they lost in G6, their overall lead time in the first six games still suppressed the Pacers. The Pacers were originally the side closer to the championship. The turning point was G4. Before G4, the Pacers led 2-1. When they returned to home, they had the chance to get the match point first, but they encountered a Foster Black Whistle, forcibly dragged the series into Tianwang Mountain, and the Thunder was finally given the match point first. Of course, no matter how the game is, at least the intensity is enough. Objectively speaking, the pure strength of the two teams is indeed comparable. There is no chance of anyone crushing whoever has the chance to win the championship. However, there are many other factors that affect the game, such as home and away games, referees, injuries, etc.

Then, there are basically only two candidates for the FMVP this year. If the Thunder wins the championship, the FMVP will definitely be Alexander. Some people say whether the second leader Jiewei has a chance, but the answer is no. In fact, Jiewei's overall performance in the Finals was not bad. In the three games between G3 and G5, Jiewei scored 26 points, 27 points and 40 points respectively, with a shooting percentage of 51% in three games and a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and was very efficient. He also became the fifth player in NBA history and was able to have at least 25 points and 5 rebounds in three consecutive games in the Finals before the age of 25. However, his condition is not stable. He is either super god or super ghost. He plays a moderate and relaxed position. After Tianwangshan scored 40 points, Jiewei scored only 16 points and 3 rebounds in G6. The key is that the positive and negative values ​​reached an embarrassing -40, setting a record of the lowest positive and negative values ​​in a single game in the NBA Finals.

Specifically for the game, Jewei's advantage is that he has strong single-point blasting ability. When facing a less stressed defense, he can easily score layups and has high efficiency in ending the penalty area. However, his shortcomings are also obvious. Similar to players like Jaylen Brown, Jayway's offensive skills are also very rough and have few offensive methods. He basically means forcing breakthroughs + strong shots against defense. He cannot use rhythm changes and creates easy shooting opportunities for himself. To put it bluntly, he has more random shots, which has become the biggest gap between him and Alexander, the leader in the team. In this year's finals, including the entire playoffs, Alexander's overall performance is still quite stable. He averaged 30.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 47%. He also averaged 31 points per game in the first 6 games of the finals.

Alexander rarely has such extremely bad games. No matter how he plays, he will not even score in the game like Harry G5, with no sports goals in the whole game, and only scored 4 points. Since the playoffs, SGA has scored less than 20 points, and there are only 3 games. Even superstars of Jokic's level have played less than 20 points in the first two rounds of the series. Therefore, Alexander's scoring stability is indeed the most powerful in the active league. This is due to his unique offensive methods, his shooting success rate at close and middle distance is extremely high, and his other move is that he has very strong ability to create killing and can easily stand on the free throw line to score. Of course, the biggest problem with SGA now is that he is as fierce as a tiger and has a bad mentality in the game against the wind. Once he doesn't get the whistle, his offensive desire will plummet. As the boss of the team, his enthusiasm is still far from super giants such as James and Kobe at the peak.

If the Thunder wins the championship and Alexander locks in the FMVP, then who will the FMVP be the Pacers win the championship? It should be Siakam, not Halliburton. In the first 6 games of the finals, Siakam averaged 19.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3.0 breaking shots, with a shooting percentage of 46/35/83%. Although the average score is not high, less than 20 points, other data are indeed comprehensive, offense and defense are everywhere, and rebounding is the highest in the team. On the surface, Halliburton, as the leader of the Pacers, is actually Sika, their most stable scoring core, has the strongest hard solver ability in the team, and the Pacers need his singles score to complete the breakthrough. Although Halliburton has had many magical draws this year, his overall performance and efficiency are hard to be considered excellent. In the first six finals, Harry averaged only 14.8 points and 6.8 assists per game.

Unless of the tiebreak battle, Halliburton will perform a god descending to earth. He will lead the team to win and score 40+ points in a single game. Moreover, Sika's score is very low, which is basically impossible. After all, Harry's playing style is limited, so it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the score. Another possibility is that Halliburton has another buzzer-beating kill in tiebreak, which is amazing. In the Finals, tiebreak, buzzer-beating kill, is unique in NBA history. As strong as Jordan's tiebreaker-beating kill back then, it can only be said to be a quasi-beating kill, and he did not achieve the buzzer-beating kill. In this way, no matter how many sluggish games occurred in Halliburton's previous personal data, then FMVP is yours, and this buzzer-beating kill is really valuable. In general, SGA has a greater chance of winning FMVP. After all, the Thunder has a home court, and the referee may be in the tiebreak and will take care of the Thunder again. Can the Pacers create miracles again?
