Chapter 186: The End of the Injury Season
The 2023-2024 season is over, the first season of this era change, is over......
After the end of the regular season, various awards were officially announced, and this regular season award also proves that the times have completely changed.
Of course, these awards have nothing to do with Meng Xiaohao, because Meng Xiaohao has been absent for most of the season, so he is not qualified to compete for any honors.
The MVP of the regular season is Lucas's.
There is no doubt about that, the Washington Royals are at the top of the league in the regular season standings, squeezing out the Utah Snow Mountains, the leader of the West.
As their leading star, Lucas's statistics are also terrifying, averaging 31 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists per game, making him deservedly overwhelmed the crowd and won the MVP.
And Derrick also stepped into the striker position of the best team for a while, squeezing Sivier down.
In this season, there was no Meng Xiaohao for most of the season, and the heavy responsibility on the offensive end was handed over to Derek, and Derrick also lived up to expectations, averaging 29.1 points per game, which is definitely the best team.
After Meng Xiaohao's return, many people felt that Meng Xiaohao's return would directly take over the position of the boss, but this was not the case.
Meng Xiaohao did not directly take back the position of the boss, but was willing to be the third scorer.
Meng Xiaohao is a person with high emotional intelligence and ball quotient, of course he knows that if he is the boss, he will still have a lot of influence on the team.
It may even cause conflicts within the team.
Therefore, Meng Xiaohao was very sharp-eyed, and he chose to let Derek continue to be the team's top scorer, and he retreated to the second line.
This move made the strength of the Fortune Team even better.
With Meng Xiaohao's conduction, the entire team's offense was revitalized by Meng Xiaohao.
At the end of the season, the Fortune Players dragged the second-place Philadelphia Watchers down and took second place in the East.
Siwell, because his own statistics are not as good as Derek's, and the team's record is not as high as that of the Fortune Team, so Sivier was squeezed into the second team.
Middleton won the Most Improved Player award, his average data this season reached 23+ per game, and this season's three-point shooting also ranked first in the league, and he deserved to win the Most Improved Player Award.
The best defensive player was taken by Sarid.
This season's Utah Snow Mountain team, although surpassed by the Washington Royals in terms of record, their dominance is not lost to the Washington Royals at all.
Especially on the inside, Sarid has also been terrifying this season.
averaged 22 points, 13.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game, beating Eddick and Kobo and sitting on the throne of the best defensive player.
……
In fact, this season, the Fortune team is also under a lot of pressure from public opinion......
Because of Derek, the rise of Middleton Cobo made the Fortune team infamous as a huddle.
This made the Fortune Team very helpless, in fact, before these players came to the Fortune Team, they were not very eye-catching.
Derek, who was known for his temper in the league at the time, would even beat the referee when he was upset.
came to New York, under the tutelage of Coach Garcia, his temper has also been reduced a lot, and by now, his image of a violent temper has completely disappeared.
Middleton, when he was with the Stars, was a pitcher on the bench.
In fact, Middleton was also the team's main player and three-point shooter before he arrived at the Stars. Cruson's position overlapped and he was put on the bench.
In New York, although he is the main player of the team and the main tactical core of the team, he is only the third scorer.
Not to mention Kobo, who was a qualified 3-and-D player before he arrived in New York, and even the Fortune Team himself didn't expect him to grow to the point where he could compete for the best defensive player.
In fact, all this is because of Meng Xiaohao's injury.
Because Meng Xiaohao is the tactical core of the Fortune team and has absolute ball control in the team, he will make sacrifices if he wants the data of players like Derrick and Middleton.
However, Meng Xiaohao's injury has given these players the opportunity to show themselves.
……
But at this time, someone said again......
"Meng Xiaohao is a teammate! After Meng Xiaohao retired from injury, his teammates all played well, so Meng Xiaohao wasted his teammates! ”
This made Meng Xiaohao cry and laugh, the sunspot can really be black in everything.
"If Meng Xiaohao abolished his teammates, then how did he lead the Fortune Players to the first place in the East last season? Won the Eastern Conference? Reaching the finals? ”
"Meng Xiaohao is a player with his own system, in this system, Meng Xiaohao can bring the team to a very high level, the team will have a very good record, but on the contrary, the record of teammates will make sacrifices."
This is what a well-known commentator for ESPN and a famous member of the North American League said on a talk show.
"You see that after Meng Xiaohao returned, he did not choose to directly make the system his own, but integrated into the system created by Coach Garcia for Derrick, and he can integrate well and make the team go to the next level."
"Meng Xiaohao is really a very good player, a very good teammate."
Of course, Meng Xiaohao should be a happy person if he said those sunspots, he wouldn't care about those words anyway, he wanted to play in the playoffs even more.
……
This season's playoffs are also quite eye-catching, because this playoffs, there is no Boston Revolutionary.
The Boston Revolutionaries finished 10th in the East and missed out on the playoffs.
This is a rare occurrence where the Revolutionaries did not make the playoffs, and the record of the Revolutionaries making consecutive playoffs was also ended.
And the Los Angeles Stars may not be able to go very far.
The Stars finished sixth in the West and faced the Dallas Cowboys, who were third in the West, in the first round of the playoffs.
Siwell's team is not easy to play, and the outside line is like rain, and it will shoot to the Los Angeles Stars on the spot.
So, no expert is bullish on the Los Angeles Stars.
Instead, everyone's attention is on defending champions Utah Snow Mountain and the newly promoted league No. 1 Washington Royals.
They want to see if the Utah Snow Mountains can successfully defend their title and how far they can go as the first team to be made up of 2019 rookies.
These two teams are worth looking forward to.
Of course, the Fortune Players are just as expected.
Meng Xiaohao didn't play too long when he returned from the regular season, his playing time was limited, and people wanted to see what kind of performance Meng Xiaohao would have in the playoffs.
The playoffs of the 2023-2024 season have arrived, in an absolute sense, and the heroes are competing for supremacy!
