The NBA's regular season awards were announced a little late, before the division finals began.

Jeremy Lin was voted the most improved player this season, and while the Lakers have a terrible record and are second to last in the West, his stats are very beautiful.

The Clippers' Jamal Crawford was named Sixth Man of the Year.

He is the fourth player in history to win the award twice and the first to do so for a different team. Crawford is averaging 18 per game this season. 6 points, ranking first among players who have played more than 1,000 minutes as a substitute. In the days when Paul and Redick were both sidelined, he also played 23 starts, averaging 20 points per game. 6。

Joakim Noah was named Defensive Player of the Year, claiming to be able to defend five positions, and he deserved the most credit for the Bulls reaching the playoffs.

Michael Carter Williams of the 76ers was named Rookie of the Year with 104 of the 124 first-choice votes for a total of 569 points.

The 76ers had a terrible regular season record with a 19-63 record and a humiliating 26-game losing streak, and McCarvey's stellar performance was the only bright spot for the 76ers.

McCarvey made 70 appearances for the 76ers in the regular season, all starts, averaging 34 per game. You can get 16 in 5 minutes. 7 points 6. 2 rebounds 6. 3 assists 1. 9 steals. Shooting percentage 40. 5% and 26 three-point shooting. 4 percent, and the free throw percentage is only 70. 3%。 He actually doesn't have any star appearance, and the data is also brushed, so he can't help the team win at all.

Using the WARP data analysis formula, ESPN experts concluded that this season's rookies are the second-worst in history, with Bennett being worse than Kwame Brown.

The WARP data analysis formula measures a player's role in the team, and if the difference in a player's contribution to a player compared to other players in the team in the same position for the same playing time is positive, that player is more efficient. But the rookies in the class of 2013 were only -3 overall. 3, in other words, the rookies are generally underperforming.

After the reform of the NBA draft system, the WARP value of each rookie in the past 26 years is only -3. The 3 rookies of the Class of 2013 were the second-to-last rookies, and behind them were the Rookies of the Class of 2000, and the top five picks in that draft included Marcus Fitzel, Darius Myers, and Stroy Myers Swift.

D'Antoni won the best coach again, and the Knicks have a bad record, and no one will believe it without the credit of the head coach.

Chris Mullin won the best manager, and Bosh, Jefferson and Augustin were all on the list.

The MVP, the biggest award in the regular season, was won by Zhou Xuan again, and he broke the NBA all-time record with 4 consecutive MVPs. Zhou Xuan not only won the assist king and steal king, but also had the best record in NBA history and won the best player of the month in the East. The MVP list is followed by Durant and James.

This year, a total of 124 journalists and presenters from the United States and Canada participated in the selection of the regular season MVP, and fans can also vote through the official website, and the fan vote is counted as one vote. Each judge is required to select the 1st to 5th picks, of which the 1st pick is 10 points, the 2nd pick is 7 points, the 3rd pick is 5 points, the 4th pick is 3 points, and the 5th pick is 1 point. That is, there were a total of 125 first-pick votes, and as a result, Zhou Xuan received 123 of them, and only two belonged to Durant.

The Knicks have not yet defended their championships, and Zhou Xuan has won a big victory personally. There is no doubt that he rules the league, and as long as he does not suffer serious injuries in the future, with the financial resources of the Knicks owner, he will rule the league for many years. The management only needs to arrange teammates around him who can shoot and are willing to defend.

On May 19, the Knicks and Nets are about to stage a battle in the same city. Before the game, everyone in the Nets team took a slap in morale.

Yesterday, the sports market analysis agency conducted a research survey to select the fan loyalty rankings of NBA teams, which were published online.

The core concept of the study's investigation revolves around brand value, expanding the number and strength of fans through loyalty.

It is reported that the research survey first selects some other rankings about the team on the Internet, such as the team's merchandise sales survey or fan arbitrariness. Then, using a specific data formula, the team's home revenue and fan purchasing power are studied, which includes a series of factors such as the ratio of revenue to team records, player salaries, market share, stadium capacity, and the number of all-stars in the team to estimate the quality of the team's products and potential revenue in the current season. Ultimately, comparing this estimate with the team's actual home revenue yields yields a specific formula to get the team's fan loyalty.

According to the research results, the Knicks have the highest fan loyalty this season, while the second place is the Bulls, who have a lot of old fans, and the Celtics, Trail Blazers and Mavericks are in third to fifth place.

The Knicks are at the top of the list thanks to the big city of New York. The Lakers are also in big cities, but because Los Angeles has many professional sports teams, and the NBA has two, the loyalty of Lakers fans is not high, ranking 14th.

What's even more tragic is the Nets, who have become "negative teaching materials". Relocating from New Jersey to Brooklyn in 2012, the Nets were nowhere near the bottom of the Knicks' fan popularity and loyalty in New York.

This survey means that the Nets will have to play a playoff season where all of them are on the road. This is something that cannot be helped, the Knicks have a record-breaking record in the regular season, not to mention New York, they also have the most fans in the world.

No one voted favorably on the Nets by online fans, who only got 6. 7% support, 85. 4% favor the Knicks to advance. It doesn't matter who the rest choose to advance.

The Nets lineup hasn't changed much from last season, except for Livingston and Alan Smith, two substitutes, and interior big man Brook Lopez has missed the playoffs due to injury. The Knicks are even more fierce now, how can the Nets win under these conditions? And they played very hard in the last round, and their regular season record was not as good as the Pacers.

In the evening, in the locker room, Kidd boosted morale and said: "Although we are at a disadvantage in this game, there is no pressure, the Knicks played a record-breaking record in the regular season, everyone knows that they are stronger, then all we have to do is fight and try to play to our strengths." Quick-rotation defense, and our three-pointers. In the swingman position, we have an advantage, we have to play more flexibly, after grabbing the rebound, we have to launch a quick counterattack in time, don't wait for Jefferson to get in place, he is the slowest on the court. ”

The players didn't answer, and Kidd added: "One of the benefits of playing in New York is that we don't have to fly to other cities, and the fans here support us and they support the Knicks." I think whoever plays better will go to either side, so it's not like we don't have a chance to get home treatment at Maddison. If you are booed, everyone relaxes, this is only temporary. Cameron, you're the key, blow up Leonard or Bosh! ”

"Look at me." Anthony said coldly.

Anthony is the one with the strongest desire to win and the most want to win. Garnett and Pierce are old, and their contracts expire at the end of this season, and they can choose to retire, or they may join other teams, and may not stay with the Nets. They don't feel much of a sense of belonging here.

Delon has changed from the core of the Jazz to now sometimes playing on the bench, and his morale is not as high as it used to be, and he can get by with a high salary. Joe Johnson has always been very low-key, has been abused many times in the Hawks, has been selected as an All-Star several times, has a big contract, has everything he deserves, and is a role player with peace of mind.

Only Anthony, who felt that he was being treated unfairly, and the fans gave him an incorrect evaluation. This season, he averaged the most points per game, rebounded the most on the team, and his organizational skills were not so bad that he couldn't do it, if you treat him as the No. 4 position, his efficiency is comparable to that of Karl Malone, people now consider him the core of the Nets, but few people say that he is a qualified leader.

Anthony especially wants to beat the Knicks and defeat Zhou Xuan. Only then can he prove his worth and have a place in the history of the NBA that people will value.

In the Knicks locker room, D'Antoni did not say anything about mobilization, emphasizing tactics: "Al is responsible for defending the basket, protecting the backcourt rebounds, and after winning the rebounds, the three of them are fast attacking and running!" Shoot when you have a chance in the frontcourt. ”

Ran and bomb were arranged, no lineup was changed, D'Antoni also knew that he had to defend, and the outside of the Nets played well in the series, and the three-point defense was also a must. Three swingers are better when switching guards.

The players of both sides played on time, the Knicks players received a round of applause, and the Nets players responded in a mediocre manner, except that Anthony was more popular, and fans liked him as a person who could score.

Before the start of the game, the regular season MVP trophy was awarded, and Zhou Xuan made a speech: "If you want to repeat it, maybe everyone will find it a little boring, but MVP I think it is the credit of everyone's hard work, it just so happens that I am the core, so I got the trophy, I thank all my teammates, without their excellent performance, I would not have broken the record number of assists, I would not have broken so many records." Thank you. ”

This time, the person who presented the award became Adam Silva, who congratulated Zhou Xuan and said: "Work hard, I hope you can defend your title this season." ”

"Thank you." Zhou Xuan and Silva hugged each other.

If they can't defend their title this season, it will be a failure for the Knicks, and their regular season record will be in vain, and Zhou Xuan will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

When the award was presented, Anthony was very jealous, and he still hasn't won the MVP trophy. He is not young, and if he doesn't take it, the chances will become more and more slim.

After the warm-up, players from both sides came out. Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Leonard, Bosh, Jefferson.

The Nets are five Livingston, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Anthony, Garnett.

DeLong sat on the bench, and the Nets still spread their firepower. However, although Livingston does not possess the ball, his three-point shooting is terrible, and he is not good at attracting defense from the outside. At present, Kidd can only arrange like this, and it is a waste that Delong can't start to shoot as much as he wants.

The question is, can Livingston defend against Zhou Xuan?
