Chapter 202: Winning MIP, Missing Out on MVP

In the first round of the playoffs, the league announced the vast majority of the season's awards, starting with the Best Coach award announced on May 2. Coach Paul Brown, who led the Kings to a breakthrough 46-20 record this season, is the head of the game. Westphall was one of the favourites, but in the end, Westphale was defeated in the selection, and it was Spurs coach Greg Murphy who won the award. Popovich.

Popovich led the Spurs to a 50-16 record this season, tied with the Bulls for the league's top spot and became the Western Conference regular season champion for the second year in a row, giving Popovich a landslide victory in their first-place vote with 77 of the 119 sports journalists and commentators who voted for the award. The Spurs have been consistent this season when they weren't favored by most, and after the All-Star break, the Spurs became the best team in the league with a 26-6 record and 108.3 points per game and a 10.8-point net outgame. Popovich led the Spurs to the playoffs for the 15th consecutive year, the longest record of any 30 teams in the NBA, and Popovich won the honor almost without dispute.

Paul. Westphall didn't win the award, but finished second behind Popovich in the final standings, ahead of the Bulls' Tom. Thibodeau, Indiana Pacers' Frank. Worrall, Memphis Grizzlies' Lionel. Hollins and Doug of the Boston Celtics. Rivers and other figures can be regarded as the biggest affirmation of his coaching performance this season.

The award for the best defensive player went to the Knicks' Tyson. Chandler won the award, beating the Thunder's Ibaka and the Magic's Howard to win the award, ending Howard's three-game winning streak for the Defensive Player of the Year award. After helping the Mavericks win the championship last season to prove himself, Chandler joined the Knicks, playing in 62 games in the regular season, averaging 11.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, his arrival brought a qualitative change to the Knicks' defense, when Chandler was absent, the Knicks gave up an average of 22.5 points per game, which is enough to reflect Chandler's unshakable defensive value.

Howard didn't win the Defensive Player of the Year award, and Ryan, who was on the same team as him. Anderson is very likely to win the Most Improved Player award, Anderson's progress this season is obvious, he averaged 16.1 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, which are career highs, and Anderson has also shot 166 three-pointers this season, the league's three-point leader, and this season's Anderson has completely illustrated what a tall battery is.

However, it was not Anderson who won the Most Improved Player award, but Terek. Evans!

Last season, Tyrek averaged 37.4 minutes per game, with a shooting rate of 44.8 percent, a three-point shooting rate of 27.2 percent, and an average of 22.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game and was selected to the third team of the best team, which can be said to be an absolute star-level performance, and this season Tyrek's personal data has improved again, with a shooting rate of 45.7 percent, a three-point shooting rate of 30.5 percent, and an average of 29.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game, winning the scoring title while leading the team to a proud record of 46 wins and 20 losses, and his personal average points per game have increased by 7.1 points! And in the case of last season, which has averaged 22.1 points per game, such progress can be said to be commendable, last season's Tyrek can be said to be a star-level performance, and this season is absolutely phenomenal! The Most Improved Player award is well deserved!

When Tyrek was interviewed with the MIP trophy in his hand, a reporter asked: "Mr. Evans, first of all, congratulations, you have won the Most Improved Player of the Season award, you have added another trophy to your honor room, and the dust will settle on the Most Valuable Player of the season in a few days, as the MVP favorite of this season, do you think you can win the MVP after winning the MIP?" ”

Tyrek smiled and glanced at the MIP trophy in his hand and said, "You know, no one in the history of the league has won both MIP and MVP in one season...... But I wish I could be that first! ”

James. Harden was unsurprisingly elected as the best sixth man, Harden played an average of 31.4 minutes per game this season, can contribute 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 offense, and the shooting rate is as high as 49.1 percent, all of which are career highs, and as a substitute, he also scored a career-high 40 points.

The attribution of the best rookie is the least suspenseful, the champion Lang Carey. Irving received 117 of the 120 first-place votes to be named Rookie of the Year, and his final score was higher than the four players in the 2nd to 5th places combined. Irving is averaging 18.5 points and 5.4 assists per game, the second largest player in the game after Oscar Robertson and Elving. Johnson, Allen. Iverson and LeBron. After James, he is the fifth champion in NBA history to average 18+5 per game in his rookie season, and he is also the Cavaliers' best rookie after James.

And the most high-profile 2011-12 regular season MVP will also be played in LeBron Brown. James, Kevin. Durant, Chris. Paul, Kobe. Bryant, Tony. Parker, Tyreco. Evans and others were born, and the most promising of them were James, Durant and Tyreck.

Tyrek, who averaged 29.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game, led the team to 46 wins and 20 losses, averaged 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, led the team to 47-19 and James, who averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game, leading the team to 46 wins and 20 losses.

However, in addition to the fans of the team to which the three belong, more neutral fans are more optimistic about Tyrek, for no other reason, just because everyone likes to soar to the sky, although Tyrek was good enough last season, but it is still not the top, and there is still a certain gap between James who has won two MVPs and two-time scoring champion Durant, and he has made a big leap forward this season and has become the league's top superstar. If Tyreco, who has already won the Most Improved Player, wins the Most Valuable Player again, then this season will definitely be the perfect season for Tyreco.

However, in the end, the MVP did not fall into the hands of Tyreck, and on May 13, NBA officials and the Miami Heat jointly held a press conference at the American Airlines Center Arena, announcing that the final winner of the 11-12 season Most Valuable Player was LeBron. James! LeBron. James won his third MVP trophy as he wished!
