Chapter 633

"Are these judges blind?"

On May 5, 2005, the Pacers team stayed after the day's training session, but they did not do any additional training today, but all gathered in the club's conference room to discuss the upcoming second round of the playoffs, while waiting for the NBA league to announce the 2004-2005 regular season MVP.

This season's Pacers, although there has been a significant decline in the record, but at the end of the season, the Pacers still ranked first in the league with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, and the Pacers' leading player Meng Xu, although in this season due to the return to play small forward, the assist data has declined significantly, but Meng Xu once again won the scoring and steal king of this season, and at the same time in 82 regular season games, Meng Xu averaged 32 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 2 blocks. 3.5 steals of the all-around data, so Meng Xu's call to continue to win the regular season MVP is still very high, but in the final voting results, Meng Xu only ranked third, and only got a pitiful 6 first votes, just these 6 first votes, it is estimated that the Indiana media voted for Meng Xu, so after the selection results were announced, James Posey immediately exploded.

"Meng, if you want to open up, you are still young, and you have an opportunity." Rick Carlisle, who was sitting next to Meng Xu, patted Meng Xu on the shoulder to comfort Meng Xu after the results on the TV were announced.

"I'm fine." After smiling back at Rick Carlisle, Meng Xu completely let go of the careful thoughts in his heart, no, if he doesn't let go, the selection results have been announced, no matter how unwilling he is, there is no way to do it now.

In fact, Meng Xu also knows in his heart that although his performance this season is also very good, because in the history of the NBA, there has never been a player who has won four consecutive regular season MVPs, so Meng Xu is unlikely to break this unspoken rule, plus the Pacers have lost 12 more regular season games than last season, so whether it is out of aesthetic fatigue or team record considerations, it is normal for Meng Xu to miss the regular season MVP.

As for this year's MVP selection, whether it is Steve Nash, who is elected, or Dirk Nowitzki, who is second in place before Meng Xu, both of them have enough reasons to be elected.

Especially Steve Nash, who beat Dirk Nowitzki to be elected, in the case of one more Steve Nash in the team's main lineup, compared with last season, the Suns won 32 more regular season games, this kind of super-large record improvement, is definitely very dazzling, and Steve Nash averaged 16.5 points and 11.5 assists per game this season, which is also the first among all organizational guards.

As for Dirk Nowitzki, who is in second place, whether it is the Mavericks or Nowitzki's performance this season, it is beyond everyone's expectations, originally after the Mavericks gave up renewing Nash, traded Antoine Walker and Antoine Jamison, most people began to sing about the Mavericks, after all, the Mavericks lost three All-Stars in their playing years, but after the regular season, the Mavericks achieved a record of 59 wins, and Dirk Nowitzki also averaged 25 points and 9 rebounds per game this season, With 4 assists, if it weren't for the Suns' improvement in this season's record, Dirk Nowitzki would have been crowned the MVP of the regular season this season.

Although he failed to continue to win the regular season MVP, Meng Xu still had a very rich harvest this season, and was selected to the best team for the fifth time in his career and the best defensive team for the sixth time. Perhaps it is already known that Meng Xu and the regular season MVP have no chance, and the league wants to compensate Meng Xu for the sake of Meng Xu, in the selection of the best defensive player, Meng Xu defeated Ben Wallace again by a very small margin, won the best defensive player of the season, and was elected as the best defensive player for two consecutive seasons as an outside player, and won the best defensive player award three times, Meng Xu is also the first person in the history of MBA.

In addition to Meng Xu, the players selected for the All-Star team this season are, center Shaq O'Neal, forward Dirk Nowitzki, and the two guards are Steve Nash and Allen Iverson.

After Meng Xu and Nowitzki, who were in the top three in the MVP rankings, were selected to the All-Star Team as forwards for a while, Tim Duncan was also squeezed out of the All-NBA Team for a while this season, and Kevin Garnett was selected to the All-Star Second Team. The center of the Houston Rockets, Meng Xu's teammate Yao Ming in the national team, in the third season of his career, played an average of 20 points per game, 10.1 rebounds of 20+10 data, and is also the only 6 players who can get 20+10 data this season, so Yao Ming was also selected as a center in the best team of the second team, Yao Ming was selected for the best team, which also means that the new generation of players began to appear on the highest stage of the NBA, after Yao Ming, Duncan and Garnett, Maddy and Bryant were named to the All-NBA Second Team as guards.

Compared with the best team for a while, it is still controlled by the young generation of players, and the second team of the best team is only Yao Ming, a young player, and the best team of this season is three teams, and the proportion of new generation players is very large, first of all, Damal Stoudemire, who is the same age as Yao Ming in the center position, successfully squeezed out Ben Wallace to occupy a place, and in the forward position, the two players selected this season are Jermaine O'Neal and the champion of the 03 generation, LeBron James, LeBron James can contribute 27.2 points, 7.2 assists, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game this season, becoming the fourth player after Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and Meng Xu to get 27+7+7 data in a single season. As the league's "four major scoring guards", Vince Carter's performance in recent seasons has not been satisfactory, in the comparison with the other three, there is now a trend of falling behind, in this season's best team selection, it is also a very thrilling selection of the best team three teams, and Vince Carter at the same time selected as another guard, also from the 03 generation of players, Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade, also in the second season of his career was selected to the best team.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were selected to the All-NBA team, which also means that the rookies of the class of '03, who are known as the platinum generation, are officially embarking on their own journey and competing for the NBA's highest honor.
