Chapter 337: The Finals Begin
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
In the past month, the leaders of the three management centers of track and field, weightlifting and basketball management have contacted Yidun to prepare for the Asian Games.
And the CBA season is also coming to an end.
On March 17, the Dongshan men's basketball team faced the Xinjiang men's basketball team at home, and finally won the game with a score of 109:101.
This also allowed the Dongshan men's basketball team to get the top spot in the regular season record list.
The Dongshan team's record is quite outstanding, and the Guangdong team's record is actually extremely gorgeous, this season's 32 games, they have only lost four games, and two of them have been lost to the Dongshan team.
The CBA hasn't had this situation for many years, a real two-man hegemony situation.
However, because the Dongshan team defeated the Guangdong team twice in the regular season, the outside world is still more optimistic that the Dongshan team can win the championship this season.
……
In the regular season of this season, Eden averaged about 6 points, 25 rebounds and 13 assists per game, although the score is indeed less, but the victory is more rebounds and assists, and the team's winning rate is also frighteningly high.
With excellent stats, a high win rate and, most importantly, popularity, such a player is bound to be a reaper of league honors.
This season is undoubtedly a perfect season for the Dongshan team, the previous Dongshan team has gradually become a civilian team, but as soon as this season is over, the Dongshan team has directly become a giant among the CBA giants, and the honor is soft.
On March 18, the Basketball Association announced various regular-season honors before the playoffs began.
The first is the most important honor, that is, the regular season championship, which means that the Dongshan team is now the strongest in the league.
Then Gong Xiaobin won the best coach award this season, which is well deserved for Gong Xiaobin.
Last season's Dongshan team compared to this season's Dongshan team, it is not a team at the same level at all, during Gong Xiaobin's tenure, the strength of the Dongshan team has improved like a rocket, and this best coach is naturally him.
Next is the major honors that Yi Dun has harvested, which is simply jaw-dropping.
The first is the honor of the regular season MVP, and the current CBA's regular season MVP is actually divided into two kinds, one is the MVP of local players, and the other is the MVP of foreign players.
This regular season MVP also means that Eden is the best local player this season.
There are no homegrown players who can compete with EDEN in this award.
There are generally three or four criteria for judging the attribution of MVP awards.
The first one is naturally data, if the data is not good, you will not be able to get MVP in eight lifetimes.
A player who averages 5 points and 5 rebounds per game, even if he is strong defensively, is unlikely to win this honor.
The second is the team's record, the better the team's record, the higher the chance of getting the MVP.
The third criterion is the impact of the individual on the team, which is how many wins the player has helped the team improve.
The Dongshan team has 11 more wins this season than last season, about one-third of the games in a season, and this terrifying improvement can be said to have made a qualitative change in the Dongshan team.
As for the last criterion, it is the popularity of the player.
When two players are not up or down in the first three criteria, the popularity value can play a huge role at this time, and it is inevitable that the player with high popularity will have a higher chance of winning the MVP.
Judging from the above four criteria, it is really difficult for domestic local players to be qualified to compete with EDUN for the honor of MVP.
Even if Yi Jianlian returns, I am afraid that the chance of winning Yi Dun is not great.
After all, the Guangdong team itself is a strong team, and Yi Jianlian is inferior to Yi Dun in the third criterion, and he is definitely inferior to Yi Dun in terms of popularity.
In terms of data, the two of them are about five or five, maybe now Yi Jianlian's strength has become stronger, and the data will be slightly better than Yi Dun, but there is no doubt that in the end, the MVP will still be in Yi Dun's hands.
In addition to this local player MVP, Eden also won an award that made people look weird.
That's the CBA's rookie of the season.
Yi Dun has been famous for some years, and it is precisely because of his early fame that everyone has forgotten Yi Dun's identity, he is only a first-year rookie in the CBA, and this season is his debut season.
Even the MVP is won, so the best newcomer is naturally no problem.
This is also the first time this has happened in the CBA, where a player has won both MVP and Rookie of the Year awards.
Secondly, Yi Dun won the CBA Ethics Award.
This award is actually a bit strange for Yi Dun, after all, Yi Dun has been banned this season......
It may be that the Basketball Association wants to make up for Yi Dun, or it may be that the Basketball Association wants to make up for the fans, anyway, they gave this award to Yi Dun.
At the moment, the CBA has fewer awards, and it is not like the NBA that has the best defensive player, the best team, the best defensive team, and the best rookie team.
Yidun can win three honors, in fact, it is already an unprecedented existence in the CBA.
Then there are the data honors, there are five good statistics on the court, which are points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals.
However, there are a total of seven data honors on the CBA side, in addition to the five benign data, there are also two more three-point and dunk.
That's right, dunks in the CBA will also be counted in the technical statistics.
Like MVP honors, these data honors are also divided into local and foreign aid.
If you do this, it is actually understandable, after all, if you don't divide it, maybe all the honors of the seven big data will be occupied by foreign aid, and you won't be able to hang up your face at that time.
However, there is something new this year, Yi Dun won the rebounding king and assist king of local players, and his two statistics are even higher than the rebounding king and assist king of foreign aid.
Yi Dun won five individual honors in one season, but he gave the Dongshan team a complete long face.
However, these regular season honors are not the highest honors, no matter which basketball league it is, the highest honor must be the final championship.
On March 20, the CBA playoffs officially began.
The format of the CBA playoffs is not much different from the NBA's playoff format, except that it is not divided into the East and West regions, with a total of eight teams, and the first round adopts a cross-elimination system.
That is, the first place in the regular season plays the eighth place, and the second place plays the seventh place, and there are only five games in each group in this first round, and the best-of-five system is played.
Because it is only five games, it is easy to have an upset, and the strong team may not play well and be defeated by the weak team.
Theoretically, the more games the two sides play, the more they can reflect the real strength of the team, and if you only play one game, it is actually a little unfair to the strong team.
For example, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the best-of-five system was used before, but now it has become a best-of-seven system, and if you play seven games, it will be much more difficult to cause an upset.
However, the CBA now adopts a best-of-five system, in fact, there is no way to do it, after all, if the team plays away, the cost is too large, and every time you play an additional game, you may have to lose a lot of money, so it is better to play less or less, so it can also create some upset gimmicks.
The reason why there are more playoff games in the NBA is that in addition to wanting to be fair to strong teams, there is actually a reason why the playoffs can make more money.
……
The Dongshan team easily eliminated the opponent Sichuan men's basketball team in the first round and qualified for the semifinals.
With a score of 3:0, the Sichuan men's basketball team, which ranked eighth in the regular season, was not an opponent at all in front of the Dongshan team, and was directly shaved bald.
Eden averaged 10 points, 21 rebounds and 11 assists in those three games.
If you want to talk about statistics, Eden is not the best player in the Dongshan team, his interior partner Chandler averaged 41 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks per game in these three games, and his strong blocking ability made Eden envious.
Because of his height and bounce ability, Yi Dun has only scored two blocks this season, which is almost negligible, and he does not even average 0.1 blocks per game.
And Chandler cut an average of 5 blocks per game in the playoffs, and Yi Dun can only sigh, his blocking ability is really inferior to Chandler.
This is also quite a normal thing, all the players against Yi Dun are interior players, and their height is at least fifteen centimeters taller than Yi Dun.
And Yi Dun only defends the high post, and the low post is for Chandler to make up for the defense, in this case, Yi Dun can get the block is strange.
It's the two cap data that I got, and I took advantage of the chaos in the chaos of the army.
……
The next semifinals are still best-of-five, but this time the opponents of the Dongshan team are much stronger than the first round of the playoffs.
The strength of the Xinjiang men's basketball team has improved rapidly over the years, and it can definitely be called the upstart team of the current CBA.
In the end, the Dongshan men's basketball team eliminated the Xinjiang men's basketball team with a score of 3:0, but the intensity of the game was much higher than that of the first round of the playoffs.
After two rounds of games, the Dongshan team has already got the ticket to the finals, and now the Dongshan fans are definitely the most excited fans in China, before the start of this season, they probably won't dream of playing, and their home team can reach the finals this season.
And still undefeated in the playoffs, reached the finals.
The most important thing is that because of the double defeat of the finals opponent Guangdong team in the regular season, Dongshan fans now have unparalleled confidence in winning the championship.
……
On the first day of the finals, in the home stadium of the Dongshan team, everyone roared and welcomed Yi Dun's appearance with warm applause.
In the next two weeks, the Dongshan team is likely to usher in the first championship trophy in team history.
It may not even take two weeks, this finals is a best-of-seven system, and if the Dongshan team is strong enough, it can completely end the battle in four games.
