After the 4-0 sweep of the Knicks, the Wizards entered a nearly week-long break, during which the team will make some repairs and begin to compile information on their second-round playoff opponents.

These trivial things don't need to be mentioned, as the first round of the game heats up, the major awards of the regular season are also being selected one after another.

The league's official announcement was first made by the two least suspenseful honors, the best defensive player and the best sixth man.

These two awards are indeed the least suspenseful.

Howard lifted the Defensive Player of the Year trophy for the third time, becoming the first Defensive Player of the Year in recent years to win three years in a row.

And the best sixth man was once again won by Wang Xiao's team's James. Harden won, this season he can average 20+8 data per game, such data is invincible among the rest of the league's bench players.

Subsequently, the league's first, second, third and best defensive lineups were also announced.

The best team was selected for Curry, Kobe, James, Durant and Howard.

In the second team, Rose, Wade, Anthony, Nowitzki and Gasol were selected.

Among the three players who were selected for the third team was Chris. Paul, Westbrook, Harden, Randolph and Aldridge.

There are only 15 best teams in total, and among the more than 450 people in the league, only the best three players in their respective positions can enter this ranking.

Immediately after the best lineup is the best rookie with more suspense.

In the end, the winner was Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American.

In terms of regular season statistics, Jeremy Lin and Griffin are almost comparable, but at this time, Jeremy Lin is still leading the Nets and Bulls to fight hard to get close to the second round of the playoffs, while Griffin went to the beach to enjoy a good vacation after the regular season.

The gap in record cost Griffin a loss and cost him a loss to Jeremy Lin.

To be honest, when he heard the news, Wang Xiao was a little surprised.

Originally, in his opinion, the possibility of Jeremy Lin winning the best rookie was not very high, even if the record was dominant, there was only a probability of about 30%.

The reason for thinking this way is simple, ethnicity.

It's a simple truth.

The best rookie is voted for by news media and reporters across the United States and Canada, and these journalists, most of whom are white or black, and almost no yellow.

In this case, Jeremy Lin has a natural disadvantage over Griffin.

Griffin is of mixed race, and both black and white people will happily vote for him.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with strength, just like when Huaxia participates in the vote, they will not hesitate to vote for their own stars, and they will not consider the strength of the two sides.

In 03, Yao Ming, who had just joined the league, was able to defeat the soaring O'Neal on the All-Star ballot and squeeze the big shark onto the All-Star bench, relying on the huge group of Chinese people.

However, the selection of the best rookie is not participated in by Huaxia media, and the voting will naturally be biased.

Just like Yao Ming in 03, even if the momentum was so huge, the final best rookie was still taken away by Stoudemire.

That year, Yao Ming and Stoudemire had almost similar stats, and the team's record was only one more loss.

But Stoudemire clearly got more votes.

Although Jeremy Lin is different from Yao Ming and is Chinese-American, there is not much difference in reality.

So when he learned that Jeremy Lin actually defeated Griffin to win the Best Rookie trophy, Wang Xiao was more surprised, and when the votes of the two were announced, Wang Xiao also secretly pinched a cold sweat for his disciple.

In terms of votes, Jeremy Lin won very lucky, he and Griffin had exactly the same number of first votes, and the second vote was slightly behind, but he got a lot more third votes than Griffin, and finally won the trophy by 2 points.

The first ballot is worth 5 points, the second ballot is worth 3 points, and the third ballot is worth only 1 point, and even if Griffin gets one more second vote, he will beat Jeremy Lin to lift the trophy.

It has to be said that Jeremy Lin's luck is quite good, and winning the cup twice in three years at Harvard University has also given him a certain number of fans across the United States.

Jeremy Lin, who won the best rookie, also became the first yellow man in history to win the best rookie, which is an achievement that even Yao Ming failed to do.

……

After the best rookie, it was time for the final prize, the regular season player of the year.

Due to the new voting weight of the Internet for this year's regular season MVP awards, the final results will not be announced until the end of May or even early June.

But so far, the most likely winner of the regular season MVP is actually not particularly suspenseful.

At present, the top three MVPs in the regular season are Curry of the Wizards, Rose of the Bulls and Howard of the Magic.

Due to the poor record, the third-place Howard has basically been declared out, and the most likely winner of the regular season MVP will be one of Curry and Rose.

Curry averaged 27+6.9 per game in the regular season, Rose averaged 25+7.7 per game in the regular season, the two are almost comparable in data, and in terms of record, Curry's Wizards team won 68 games, which is obviously better than Rose's Bulls 60 wins.

But on the other hand, Rose's solid and traditional style of play and importance to the team are on the more dominant side than Curry, and it is easier to please the media.

So even if Curry's team has a record, it is difficult to say that he has a greater advantage.

Which of these two can finally win the regular season MVP award, even Wang Xiao can't judge.

However, whether it is Curry or Rose, whoever wins the regular season MVP will be quite a sensational event for the league, and they will set a new record for the youngest regular season MVP.

Both were born in 1988, and although Curry is a few months older than Rose, it doesn't affect the league's youngest MVP record.

Although it is still unknown who will have the last laugh between the two, the media has begun to build momentum.

"After the era of center represented by Olajuwon O'Neal Duncan, the era of guard represented by Kobe Iverson Carter, and the era of forward represented by James and Anthony, the league is about to usher in the era of point guard!"
