On May 3, 2004, after the first round of the playoffs was over, according to the usual practice, all the awards of the regular season will be announced one by one, but many of the awards are actually undisputed, although the final results have not yet been released, but the final winners, everyone can already guess, especially the selection of the regular season MVP, after leading the Pacers to a 74-8 record in a single season, and a 35-game winning streak in the regular season, plus an average of 31 points per game and 8.9 rebounds in the individual season, With 12.5 assists, 3.6 steals, and 1.8 blocks, as well as the personal honors of the assist king and steal king, it can be said that this season's regular season MVP is none other than Meng Xu.

On the morning of May 3, the NBA's official website first announced the winners of the best rookie, which was slightly different from what everyone had guessed, the Cavaliers' LeBron James overtook Carmelo Anthony by an overwhelming margin and was elected as the best rookie this season. You must know that Carmelo Anthony is not inferior to LeBron James in terms of personal data, and in terms of team record, Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets to the playoffs with the seventh record in the West in his rookie season, while the Cavaliers led by James missed the playoffs with a record of 35-47. You know, in the previous best rookie rankings, Carmelo Anthony has always been ahead of LeBron James, who knew that the final selection result would be so dramatic.

After the best rookie, the rest of the individual awards were also released one by one, and the best coach was won by Rick Carlisle of the Pacers, which is also the second best coach trophy in Rick Carlisle's personal coaching career, and it is also the second best coach trophy in Rick Carlisle's three years, which can be described as unprecedented. Although many people are criticizing Rick Carlisle for taking advantage of Larry Bird, the Pacers led by Rick Carlisle have a real record of 74-8 in history, and no matter how sour the outside world is, the trophy for the best coach will not fall on the heads of others.

After the best coach, Antoine Jamison, who is the best sixth man and the most improved player this season, and the winner of the best sixth man, can be said to have mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, as the big man who led the Warriors to the playoffs last season, but this season Antoine Jamison, who was elected the best sixth man in the Mavericks, just smiled slightly embarrassed after hearing the news of his award, as for whether he is happy or sad in his heart, only he knows. The most improved player this season was won by Zach Randolph of the Trail Blazers, and after Rashid Wallaire was sent away, Zach Randolph, who played a lot of time, actually scored 20.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2 assists this season, and you must know that Zach Randolph's data last season was only 8.4 points and 4.5 rebounds.

And this season's selection of the best defensive player, can be described as the most controversial, but also the most dramatic year, because in the history of the NBA has never won the best defensive player three times in a row, so Ben Wallace, who has been elected as the best defensive player for two consecutive seasons, has been excluded from the ranks of candidates before the selection, and after Ben Wallace has basically been ruled out, the Spurs' Tim Duncan, and the Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett have become the best defensive player of the season. But when the final results were announced, people found that Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett were not elected as the best defensive player, but Meng Xu, who was not very optimistic before the selection, was elected the best defensive player this season, according to the NBA's official voting results, Meng Xu, Duncan, and Garnett The difference in the number of votes between the three is very small, and Meng Xu, who was elected the best defensive player with less than 30% of the votes, is also the best defensive player with the lowest vote rate in NBA history.

After most of the individual awards have been announced, the best team of the season has also been released, the best rookie team has not been much concerned, and it is also the most uncontroversial and existential selection, as for the selection of the best team and the best defensive team, there is a lot of controversy every year, and this year's controversy still exists.

In fact, Ben Wallace, who can contribute 12.4 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game this season, is likely to continue to win the best defensive player in a row according to the data and on-court performance, but there is no precedent for winning the best defensive player three times in the entire history of the NBA, so Ben Wallace is very regrettable for missing the opportunity to win three consecutive times. After Ben Wallace, the two forwards named to the All-Defensive Team were Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, and the two guards were Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant.

Compared with the best defensive team, the second team of the best defensive team is more controversial, this season's best defensive team does not have a star player, the five players selected are center Theo Ratliff, two forwards Andrei Kirilenko and Bruce Bowen, two guards Ron Artest and Doug Christie, and the biggest controversy is the loss of Jason Kidd, Jason Kidd's contribution and ability on the defensive end is obvious to all, So even if Jason Kidd can't be selected for the best defensive team this season, he can at least be selected for the second team, but what is infuriating is that these voting guys would rather vote for Doug Christie, who is already on the verge of retirement, than for Jason Kidd.

As for this season's best team, it is also once again lamented that the three best teams are obviously not enough, Chris Webber, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter These superstars are absent from this season's best team, which also makes this season's best team selection somewhat controversial, but controversy is controversy, and the fifteen players who entered the best team this season are still well deserved.

The five players who made the All-Star team this season are center Shaq O'Neal, two forwards Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, and two guards Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant. The five players who made the All-Round Second Team were center Ben Wallace, two forwards Jermaine O'Neal and Tracy McGrady, and two defenders Jason Kidd and Sam Cassel. As for the five players selected for the All-NBA team, they are: center Yao Ming, forward Peja Stojakovic and Dirk Nowitzki; Two defenders, Byron Davis and Michael Reid. The sophomore Yao Ming was selected for the best team for three times, which is quite surprising, but the average of 17.5 points and 9 rebounds per game can be selected for the best team, which can more or less reflect the embarrassing situation of the league's current lack of high-quality centers.

As the finale of the regular season MVP selection, after all the awards were released one by one, on the afternoon of May 3, the NBA official website finally announced the results of the regular season MVP, as everyone expected, Meng Xu won the regular season MVP again, but what was unexpected was Meng Xu's votes, 121 reporters who participated in the regular season MVP selection this year voted for Meng Xu in their first votes, and Meng Xu also scored 1210 points, He became the first unanimous regular season MVP in NBA history.
