Chapter 363: Regular Season MVP
"Wake up for breakfast, my MVP." After the end of the two home games with the Knicks, the Pacers team had a two-day holiday, and Meng Xu, who had a very rare sleep, was still chatting with Zhou Gong cordially, He Hui pushed open Meng Xu's door, stood outside the door, and knocked rhythmically on the door with his right hand.
"Sister Hui, didn't you say that I would wake up naturally from a good sleep? Why wake me up so early? Meng Xu, who was sleepy-eyed, touched the bedside table with one hand for a long time, and finally caught the alarm clock, and after squinting his eyes and glancing at the time, he threw away the alarm clock and directly covered his head.
"And the heart to sleep? The results of the regular season MVP selection that you care about the most have come out. Seeing that Meng Xu didn't mean to get up, He Hui walked directly to Meng Xu's bed and was about to pull Meng Xu's quilt.
"When? Who is it? Meng Xu, who was still in a state of confusion, heard that the MVP selection results were vicious, and directly straightened up a carp and sat up from the bed.
"Of course it's you, congratulations, becoming the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history." As He Hui spoke, he pushed Meng Xu's quilt and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Really?" After hearing He Hui's answer, Meng Xu looked excited, but still couldn't believe it, after seeing He Hui nodding again, Meng Xu jumped up directly from the bed, and then hugged He Hui who was sitting on the sidelines, and kept shouting: "Sister Hui, I have finally become MVP, I have finally become MVPããããããã â
"Congratulations." Meng Xu, who was naked, was tightly held in his arms, and He Hui was also flustered at the moment, and his heart was pounding.
Yesterday, after the first round of the playoffs were all over, the NBA regular season awards were announced one by one, and the individual awards for the best rookie and best head coach were first announced, and then the selection of the best team.
As this year's scout, Pau Gasol of the Grizzlies played all 82 games of the season and was elected the rookie of the season with an average of 17.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game. After the All-Star break, the Grizzlies traded the Pacers' sixth man, Al Harrington, to form an inside and outside combination of Al Harrington and Pau Gasol, although they finally missed the playoffs with a gap of 4 wins, but there is no doubt that after sending away the team's boss Raheem for just one season, they completed the rebuild, and perhaps next season, they will be able to return to the playoff stage.
This year's selection for the best head coach is the most competitive year compared to previous years, whether it is the Warriors' Mike Budenholzer, the Pistons' Rick Carlisle, or the Nets' Byron Scott, who among the three is elected, it is a matter of course. The Warriors, Pistons, and Nets were all fish belly teams last season, especially the Warriors, ranked third from the bottom in the league, and these three teams this season have won more than 20 games compared to last season, and all entered the playoffs, but considering that Rick Carlisle and Mike Budenholzer are both rookie coaches, the call for these two to win the best head coach is also higher than that of Byron Scott, and in the end, Rick Carlisle defeated Mike Budenholzer by a narrow margin and won the best head coach this year.
Compared with the fierce competition for the best head coach, the selection of the best general manager can be said to be uncontroversial, risking great controversy in the offseason, exchanging 3 starters for Meng Xu, and getting two outstanding rookies Jamal Tinsley and Bobby Simmons with a very low signing in the draft, it can be said that Larry Bird has performed perfectly in the position of general manager this season, both in terms of draft vision and trade skills. After winning the General Manager of the Year, Larry Bird also became the first person in NBA history to win the best first person in the player, coach and manager positions, and it would be even more perfect if Larry Bird could lead the Pacers to a championship in the position of head coach and general manager.
In this year's selection of the Most Improved Player, following the selection of Jalen Rose as the Most Improved Player in the 9900 season, Jermaine O'Neal from the Pacers became another Pacers player to win the award, this season's Jermaine O'Neal, averaging 18.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game, especially in dozens of games after the All-Star break, Jermaine O'Neal's average points per game reached 23.4 points, which has improved by leaps and bounds compared to last season. But after the news of Jermaine O'Neal's election came out, it immediately caused a lot of controversy, because compared with Jermaine O'Neal, his teammate Meng Xu has improved more obviously, Meng Xu, who averaged only 18 points per game last season, was not only crowned the scoring champion this season, but also became another player who averaged 32+8+8 per game in a single season after Jordan, but opponents believe that Meng Xu was already a superstar last season, even if he is improving in data this season, there is no essential difference. And Jermaine O'Neal is different, Jermaine O'Neal, who was a second-rate interior last season, has grown into an All-Star interior this season.
As for the best defensive player this season, this is not much controversy, in Mutombo's state declined, Meng Xu because of too much energy on the offensive end, Ben Wallace, who won the rebounding king and block king this season, was undisputed as the best defensive player of the season.
After most of the awards were announced, the selection of the best team was finally settled, compared to Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, Meng Xu, Jason Kidd, Gary Payton composed of the best defensive team, this season's best defensive team second team, also caused a lot of controversy, Mutombo, Garnett and Kobe Bryant The selection is still no problem, Doug Christie, who entered the best defensive second team last season, was selected again and said in the past, the controversy was Cleverd Robinson, Clifford Robinson, who is already at the end of his career and has a comprehensive decline in various statistics and physical condition, has beaten Bruce Bowen, PJ Brown, Eddie Jones and other defensive giants.
And this year's best team selection can only make people sigh, there are only 3 lineups and 15 players in the best team, which is really a bit less. The best team of the season is O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Meng Xu, Kobe Bryant and Kidd. The All-Team Second Team is Mutombo, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson and Tracy McCledy, and the All-NBA Team Three, Jermaine O'Neal, Karl Malone, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Gary Payton.
As one of the "big four forwards", Dirk Nowitzki can contribute an average of 21 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game this season, but such data is not in the best team, in addition to Nowitzki, like Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce, Peja Stojakovic, and this season's assist king Andre Miller, their strength and data are enough to enter the best team.
The most important award in the regular season, the MVP selection has always been the final appearance, just yesterday after almost all the awards were released, early this morning, the NBA league announced the results of the regular season MVP vote.
A total of 121 people participated in the NBA regular season voting this year, and Meng Xu finally received 69 first-place votes, beating Tim Duncan's 47 first-choice votes to become this year's regular season MVP.
The selection of the MVP of the regular season has always been based on the best team and the best player, but the two teams with the best regular season record this year, the Kings with the first record, and their star player Chris Webber missed 37 games due to injury, and even the final vote for MVP was absent. After the Lakers, the Lakers, who have two superstars of O'Neal and Kobe, will automatically be in a slight position in the selection of MVP.
After the two teams with the best records in the regular season were eliminated for various reasons, Meng Xu and Duncan became the final contenders for the regular season MVP this season. After the Wake Forest duo was split this season, coupled with the serious decline in David Robinson's form, he has basically been reduced to a substitute, and Tim Duncan, who led the team alone, can only carry the Spurs on his own and continue to move forward. Duncan, who has been off for a few games in the first few seasons of his career, played all 82 games for the first time this season, averaging a league-high 42 minutes per game, while averaging 26.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game are all career-highs, while the Spurs' 55-27 record this season is not as good as last season, but it is good enough.
After Meng Xu left the Spurs and joined the Pacers, Meng Xu, who led the team alone for the first time in a situation of doubts and disfavorability, led the Pacers to win 14 more games than last season, and finally became the first in the East with a record of 56 wins and 26 losses, and Meng Xu averaged 33.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 3.5 steals, and 2.2 blocks per game this season, not only won the steal king for 3 consecutive years, but also won the scoring champion this season.
It can be said that whether it is Duncan or Meng Xu, being elected as this season's MVP is well-deserved, after Meng Xu was pulled up from bed by He Hui, he had just finished washing, and when he was not ready to eat breakfast, he received a call from Duncan, Duncan congratulated Meng Xu on the phone for finally getting his wish and being crowned the regular season MVP.
