Chapter 473: MVP Selection (2/4!) )
The fans were all crazy, and if it weren't for the security guards on the sidelines, they would all rush into the stadium by now.
On the court, Paul was already surrounded by the Cavaliers like crazy, racked up and thrown into the sky.
The giant planet in the last paragraph is really exciting.
The Celtics players looked a little helpless, and they worked hard to be harvested by the last man, which is really not a good feeling.
A hearty game also made a good start to the series.
The next second and third games are almost a copy of the first one.
The two teams were playing against each other in the first two quarters of their physical strength, and no one could limit anyone, but in the second half, as their physical strength declined, they successively switched to offense and defense, and started a defensive battle.
Both games were deadlocked until the final moments, the second Yao Ming stepped up and took away the game with consecutive mid-range shots, and the third was the Celtics' Pierce Super God who scored two three-pointers from the outside to close the victory.
After three games, the score was 2-1, with the Cavaliers taking the lead.
The series seems to have become a competition of superstars on both sides, and whoever can step up at the last moment will be able to win the game.
At the end of the third game of the series between the two sides, the league announced the most important honors of the 2011~2012 season.
Best Head Coach, MVP, All-NBA and All-Rookie Team, and Second and Third Team rosters.
Thibodeau, who led the Bulls to win the league's best record in the regular season, successfully defeated Popovich, Brooks and other competitors and was elected the best head coach in the 2011~2012 season.
This result is actually not too surprising, Thibodeau led the team to the best record in the league in his first year of ownership, and it deservedly deserved.
"A well-deserved award, the beginning of a legendary coach." Tang Tian also congratulated his old subordinates on Twitter for the first time.
In the previous life, there were coaching factions such as the Spurs, Lakers, and Suns, and the emergence of Tang Tian gave the league an additional rocket system.
Look at Casey and Cassel, and maybe there will be knights in the future.
After the head coach, the league's All-Defensive Team, All-Defensive Team and second-team and third-team rosters were announced.
First Team of All: Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard;
Second Team of the Year: Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Yao Ming;
All-Team Three: Tony Parker, Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler.
In other accolades, Paul was named to the All-Defensive First Team, Green was named to the All-Defensive Second Team, Butler was named to the All-Rookie First Team, and Parsons was named to the All-Rookie Second Team.
Counting Carter's previous best sixth man, James's departure has brought a lot of losses to this team, but it has also allowed more players to get the opportunity to perform, and then gain more honors.
This is also a blessing in disguise.
With the announcement of the results of these foreshadowing awards, and finally the most important award for fans, the regular season MVP was also revealed at the last minute.
Compared to last season's Cavaliers' standout, this season's MVP selection is obviously more suspenseful.
Rose: Averaged 26.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 43.1% from the field and 36% from three-point range, leading the Bulls to a 57-15 league record.
Durant: Averaged 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 49.6% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range, leading the Thunder to a 54-18 record, second in the West and third in the league.
Paul: Averaged 23.6 points, 10.6 assists, 2.7 steals per game, 48.1% shooting, 39% three-point shooting, including the steal king of the season, and led the Cavaliers to the second place in the East and fourth in the league.
Kobe Bryant: averaged 27.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 43% from the field and 30.3 from the field, leading the Lakers to third place in the West.
James: averaged 28.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 51% from the field and 37% from three-point range, leading the Suns to fourth place in the West.
Parker: Averaged 18.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, shooting 48% from the field and 23% from three-point range, leading the Spurs to the first record in the West and second in the league.
These six people are the top six players in the last period of this season's MVP list, and they are also the favorites for regular season MVP.
Among the six people, James's statistics are undoubtedly the most gorgeous, and when Maddy was injured and Nash was aging, he won the first scoring title of his career in history, almost single-handedly carrying the Suns to the top half of the competition in the West.
Durant's performance is the most worthy of the MVP title among the six people, with gorgeous statistics, and he is also a well-deserved leader, leading the team to the top three in the league.
Rose isn't as efficient as the top two, but the stats aren't bad, and the biggest advantage is that the Bulls are in first place in the league.
Paul and Kobe Bryant's stats are not bad at all, but the team's record is relatively poor.
As for Parker, the stats are the most unremarkable of the six, but the Spurs have the best record in the West, and this record is also beyond the expectations of all experts before the season, which also fits the definition of MVP.
But just like the best sixth man before it, because there is no data standard, all six people have enough reasons to be elected, but it will also attract controversy of the same magnitude.
The decision is all in the 131 media outlets and all fans in the United States voted for the 1 vote.
The results were announced later that day.
The moment the results were announced, it was highly anticipated.
In the end, Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls won 17% of the votes (the lowest in NBA history), defeated Durant (16.6%), Paul (13.3%), James (13.2%) and other competitors, and was successfully elected as the MVP of the regular season in the 2011~2012 season.
Rose, who also became the second-youngest regular season MVP in the NBA since Wes Unseld in 1969, is not yet 24 years old!
When this result came out, the entire American basketball world was shocked and excited.
A legendary new star is on the rise.
Of course, at the same time, there are countless doubts, Oklahoma fans are complaining about Durant, Phoenix fans are avenging James's historic performance, and even Cleveland fans are cheering for Paul.
In short, this election, which has the closest vote rate in history, has attracted a lot of heated discussions, with Twitter and Facebook, including comments on ins, blowing up, and servers even going down for a while.
This is definitely the most exciting thing in American basketball in 2012.
