The Associated Press Athlete of the Year award began in 1931 and was voted for by a combination of sports editors and sports journalists in the United States.

The award doesn't have a lot of impact on a global scale, as it only awards the best athletes in the United States.

However, this award is also the most important award in the American sports industry. However, precisely because it is only an American sports award, in front of the Laureus Award, it can not bring as much shock as the former.

Therefore, American fans are not surprised that Yi Jianlian won this award, but subconsciously think that it should be so!

Lawrence gave Yi Jianlian the best male athlete, why don't you AP give it!

Yi Jianlian ended his 2010 with two awards.

On the first day of 2011, that is, on the morning of New Year's Day, Liu Yifei cooked rice balls for Yi Jianlian, and was eating, Allen's call came, and the latter officially came to finalize the recording time with Yi Jianlian.

"Did you already know that I was going to be voted Player of the Year, which is why you kept inviting me?" Yi Jianlian asked before hanging up the phone.

Alan couldn't help laughing: "I invited you to record the show in August, and there were still a few months before the Associated Press selection, even if I was capable, it was impossible for me to know that there was no selection result, right?" ”

"That's right!" Yi Jianlian listened to Allen's explanation, and knew that he was thinking too much, and it was just a coincidence.

"Okay, I'm hanging!"

Yi Jianlian hung up, and Allen on the other end of the phone turned up the corners of his mouth, it's done!

What Allen didn't say was that she really didn't know the results of the Associated Press in August, but before Christmas, she already knew the results, originally she wanted to wait for August 2011 to invite Yi Jianlian again, but after knowing the news, she advanced the invitation time, plus she learned about Liu Yifei's coming to the United States from the news, and immediately used this as an excuse to call Yi Jianlian.

"The Allen Show" has been recorded for more than ten years, as a talking show can survive for so long, in addition to the fact that she is Allen, what is more important is that every time she invites guests, she brings her own topic, so that the audience has expectations for the next episode of the show after watching the trailer, and the other is her accumulation of contacts over the years, so that she can know the results in advance before some things happen, such as Yi Jianlian being selected as the best athlete of the year by the Associated Press this time.

As the first Chinese player in the United States to win the Athlete of the Year, Yi Jianlian, who brought this topic, naturally became the first priority to be invited.

At the same time, Alan was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the final result of the Laureus Best Athlete Award was also Yi Jianlian!

This has undoubtedly expanded Yi Jianlian's influence by several grades, if you don't invite it quickly, is it possible that you are still waiting to be preempted by others?

In short, "The Ellen Show" can live so long, it's really not just luck.

Yi Jianlian won two best athlete awards, especially Laureus, which is a global award, which made his attention skyrocket again.

And this period happened to be the voting stage of Yi Jianlian's all-star starters, and the original increase in votes was already very fast, but now it has become more and more ferocious.

January 3rd.

While the Knicks won four consecutive regular season games to narrow the gap with the Celtics to 1.5 wins, the first phase of the 2011 All-Star starting voting officially ended.

The announced results caused an uproar among fans, after the All-Star starting lineup for the past three years has not changed, this year's All-Star starters, if you only look at the voting results of the first phase, the league has officially entered the stage of renewal, and a lot of newcomers have emerged.

"Defenders: Chris Paul;

Guards: Kobe Bryant;

Forward: Kevin Durant;

Forwards: Blake Griffin;

Center: Yao Ming; ”

In addition to the guard line and center, there are newcomers in the two forward positions in the West, Kevin Durant, one of the league's four major forwards, and Blake Griffin, the "relegation rookie", have fought their way out of the many forwards in the West, squeezing veteran star power forwards such as Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki to the bench.

In addition, Yao Ming's re-injury reimbursement is destined to be replaced by others in this position, and in the case of Xiao Si's eastward tour, the remaining people in the Western center who resist the top are only Kevin Love, the "White Wolf King" who has completed the evolution in the new season, as a contemporaneous student with Derrick Rose, Kevin Love has also ushered in a big explosion this season, averaging 20.2 points and 15.2 rebounds per game so far, and is the only center in the entire league who can get 20 plus 15 data, and even Dwight Howard is not as efficient as him.

Many fans have concluded that Kevin Love will replace the injured Yao Ming as the starting center in the West this year.

"Defenders: Derrick Rose;

Defenders: Dwyane Wade;

Forwards: Yi Jianlian;

Forwards: LeBron James;

Center: Howard; ”

The East has not changed as much compared to the West, with the only change being Derrick Rose on the back line.

As the absolute core of the Bulls, who currently have the best record in the league, Derrick Rose's performance this year is absolutely phenomenal, especially when the Eastern giants are dominant, he can lead the team to win the first championship in the East, which is enough to prove his ability.

It is precisely because there are too many giants in the East, but no one has been able to win the first place in the East, and now more and more fans are starting to shout for Derrick Rose to win the regular season MVP this year.

In the latest edition of the official MVP rankings, Derrick Rose has also squeezed out Durant and ranked second on the MVP list.

The first is naturally Yi Jianlian!

At the beginning of the season, Yi Jianlian led the Bucks to the first place in the league, and although he transferred, he immediately climbed to the third place in the East with the Knicks, and his personal regular season record so far is not bad.

And he also averaged 31.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game this season, in addition to 1.6 steals and 1.8 blocks, and only 2.6 turnovers.

Compared with Yi Jianlian, Derrick Rose really has no advantage.

However, the Chicago Tribune is not worried about the current situation of Derrick Rose, in their opinion, as long as Derrick Rose can continue to maintain the current momentum and maintain the team's first position in the East, then he may not be able to get an advantage in the final regular season MVP selection, he is only 22 years old, if he wins, then he will become the youngest regular season MVP winner in NBA history, according to the urine nature of those experts, he will not give up such a good gimmick!
