Chapter 410: Winning MVP for a second time

Wu Huang likes this kind of easy game more and more, as long as his teammates can support the situation, he can play extremely easy, and it is not completely mixed with statistics, today in a little more than three quarters of playing time, he shot a total of 9 three-pointers, these only took 14 shots, 19 shots in the whole game, 12 of 19 shots, once again played a praiseworthy scoring efficiency, his 36 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists data is not something anyone can mix.

"In the second round of the playoffs, most of the teams are not single-core teams, and you don't have to look at me playing easily, and think it's the same for someone else." After the game, when Wu Huang faced some reporters who questioned that his outstanding performance was because his teammates played better, he immediately ridiculed.

"Do you think the Knicks can sweep into the Finals again?"

"You just have to watch it and the result is the answer."

"Excuse me, what do you think are the chances of the Knicks defending their title this season?"

"I don't know, I'm taller than everyone else anyway."

Wu Huang found that the questions raised by these reporters were very painful, and no one asked about the broken headphones on his head, which made him unable to take the opportunity to advertise after the game.

After the Knicks game, the league announced the 2011-12 Rookie of the Year team, with new champion Kyrie Irving leading the way with 52 points, and Ricky Rubio, Kenneth Farid, Klay Thompson, Iman Shampert, Kawhi Leonard, and Brandon Knight were all named to the first team (the last three received the same number of votes, so they were selected at the same time).

For the first time in history since the league introduced the rookie team award in 1962-63, three players tied and seven were selected to the first team at the same time. In the past 50 years, there have been 4 times when 2 people have tied their votes and 6 people have been selected.

Irving deservedly earned a full vote, as he was named MVP of the Rookie Game at the All-Star Game, won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Year for four months, and won the Rookie of the Year Poll. He averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals during the season, becoming another rookie in NBA history to score 20+ points in his rookie season. It's just that his assists have also been criticized a lot, and as a point guard, he averages less than 5 assists per game, which is too low, and it is also the reason why Irving was not selected to the All-Rookie Team with a perfect score.

Another accolade announced by the NBA at the same time was an embarrassment for the winners, with Indiana Pacers general manager Larry Bird being named the general manager of the season. As a result, Big Bird became the first person in history to win the regular season MVP (1984-1986), Coach of the Year (1998) and General Manager of the Year awards.

But tonight, the Pacers lost on the road, and Larry Bird, who came to New York with the team, didn't show much joy, but said formulaically after winning the award: "It's an honor for the Pacers, not for me alone, everyone paid for it, we stay patient, follow the right plan, and wait for the team to grow." He would have said "I'm proud of the players, the coach and the team for what they've achieved this season." "But when I thought of the team's poor performance tonight, I simply omitted this sentence, and I was proud to play like this!

Wu Huang is not in a hurry this time, because he has already received news from the team, the league has notified the Knicks that this year's MVP winner is Wu Huang, and the advance notice is for the Knicks to be ready to hold a press conference with the league the next day, as well as to prepare for the award ceremony before the second game.

Knicks executives have long known that Wu Huang is impatient, and Wu Huang himself is worried that after winning the All-Star MVP three times in a row, will it affect his regular season MVP three consecutive championships? Although these two are MVPs, the gold content is too far away, and Wu Huang would rather exchange three All-Star MVPs for a regular season MVP.

But that worry is a bit unfounded, and his stats continue to lead the league this year, with his biggest rival, LeBron James, averaging 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. But there is no most perverted, only more perverted! Wu Huang's average of 31.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 3.3 steals per game is still much higher than James's, and the shooting rate of both is 53.1%, but the shooting rate of the point guard and the small forward is the same, so naturally the point guard has a higher technical content. And Wu Huang's three-point shooting rate also reached 43.3%, and the free throw shooting rate also reached 92.6%, both of which are above James, and it is still a comprehensive crushing result in personal data.

In the end, the reason why James could not compete with Wu Huang at all was that the team's record was not as good as that of the Knicks. The league may not easily let Wu Huang easily win the regular season MVP three times next year, but if no one can at least tie him in terms of personal data next season, and the team's record is evenly matched, then no one can really threaten him, and the league will not be able to award this to others when both statistics are not as good as Wu Huang. If you look at it this way, Durant has a better chance than James to compete with Wu Huang for MVP.

On May 12, the NBA and the Knicks jointly held a press conference at Madison Square Garden and officially announced that Wu Huang was named the 2011-12 NBA regular season MVP, which was the second time he won the MVP award.

In the 10-11 season, Wu Huang won the regular season MVP for the first time in his career, and now he has won this honor for the second time, and has become the 14th person in history to win the regular season MVP twice.

The NBA regular season MVP was born in the 1955-56 season, so far, the NBA has awarded 56 regular season MVP awards, and now counting Wu Huang, a total of 29 players have won this award, of which 14 have won 2 or more times, and 12 have won this award 2 or more times in 2 consecutive seasons - Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Karim Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Ervin Johnson, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, LeBron James, Wu Huang.

Among the players who are still playing in the league this season, including Wu Huang, there are 7 people who have won this award for two consecutive seasons - Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Wu Huang.

Xiao Hua, vice president of the league, said at the press conference: "Hugo can get this award is well deserved, this season he can average 31.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 3.3 steals per game, and the shooting rate is as high as 53.1%, his performance is simply unbelievable, he can dominate both offensive and defensive ends in every game, these are the MVP-level performances we recognize." ā€

It is worth mentioning that Wu Huang's performance not only dominated the court, but also dominated the voting of media reporters, although the second and third LeBron and Durant chased each other in the MVP competition, and the final results of the two were similar, but Wu Huang won 99 votes for the first place, accounting for more than 80% of the total 121 votes.

At present, the Knicks eliminated the Philadelphia 76ers with a total score of 4-0, successfully advanced to the second round, and got a 1-0 start in the Eastern Conference semifinals; The Heat, on the other hand, trailed the Bulls 0:1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. From this perspective alone, the dark war between Wu Huang and LeBron, after the winners and losers were separated in the regular season, continued in the playoffs, but it was still James who was behind. Neutral fans would love to see Wu Huang and James face off again in the Eastern Conference Finals, but the latter is likely not to go that far, which is also the difference in dominance between the two.

Wu Huang did not appear at the press conference today, and tomorrow is the time for him to appear.

At this time, Wu Huang was holding a speech, which was the content of his speech before the competition tomorrow night. Usually after receiving the MVP trophy, everyone has to give a moving speech, which is nothing more than "how difficult it was for me when I was a child" and "how difficult it is for me to achieve what I am today......

The New York Times reported after the press conference announcing the ownership of the MVP: "As soon as it entered the league, Hugo had a resounding nickname - "The Emperor of New York". But the embarrassing thing is that this title has been called for 7 years, so we call him "Holy Sect Master". But that doesn't mean we're backing down, it's that we're not unfamiliar with that nickname. "The New York Times hacked James first as soon as it came up, and he also has a bit of strength.

"In the shrinking season, most of the players have a slight drop in their average per game compared to last season. But this is not the case for our Holy Master, whose stats have barely shrunk from last season, and except for assists, the rest of his stats remain at the same level as last season, which makes it undoubted that our Holy Master will continue to be at the top of the league efficiency list.

Hugo's efficiency rating has surpassed 30 again this season, reaching 31.6, and while people may be accustomed to Hugo's performance, in fact, apart from Hugo and the little emperor who has not been crowned for eight years, no player has been able to increase his efficiency above 30 since the 2008-09 season. In addition to Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul, who had an efficiency rating of 30+ in the 2008-09 season, the last player with an efficiency rating of more than 30 was back in the 2002-03 season, and that person was Tracy McGrady.

Although we can think that there have been players in history who are not inferior to Hugo in terms of efficiency, in fact, there has never been a point guard like Hugo in history, look at the statistics of ESPN data guru John Hollinger: Hugo's shooting percentage, two-point shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, basket shooting percentage, free throw shooting percentage, true shooting percentage, and steal percentage are the highest in point guards, such data is enough to show that he is unique in history.

The scary thing about Hugo is not that he always has amazing results on the stat charts, but that he has such a high starting point as a young player who has only been in the league for three years - the last point guard who can do this is a big O, but he has never won a championship, and the Holy Master is undoubtedly the best player to combine personal data and team honor.

On May 13, just as the media reported the news that Wu Huang won the MVP for a second time, Wu Huang had already come to Madison Garden Arena to receive his trophy. But when he took out his speech in the locker room, the newly released MVP was dumbfounded, because he found an extremely embarrassing thing, the speech in his hand at the moment actually turned into a line of "sanitary napkin advertisement"!

"! Isn't this Nima last night's Christine advertising slogan? "Emperor Wu was shocked, he actually took the wrong manuscript when he left!

"What, can the award be postponed?" Emperor Wu asked weakly to the staff. But the latter glanced at the time and replied weakly: "Hugo, I'm afraid this won't work, the time is stipulated by the alliance, is there something wrong?" ā€

Emperor Wu coughed and quickly shook his head: "No...... No problem. As he spoke, he quickly rubbed the sanitary napkin advertisement in his hand vigorously, and said secretly, "Isn't it just a speech, only fools need to prepare a draft." ā€

Knicks players are looking at Wu Huang with envy at the moment, but like this kind of honor, they don't expect it in their lives, only the best players in the entire league can touch this supreme honor, think about Garnett, Kobe, James These names, you know what grade of players have a chance to compete for this trophy.

Soon, the Knicks players will be ready for the ceremony, and one by one the players will walk out of the locker room with a desire to win, and while they can't touch the MVP trophy, the championship is also an honor that is no less than that, and it's something they can touch.

In the process of the Knicks players entering the ceremony this time, Wu Huang was still arranged to be the last to play, and when his name was read, the scene erupted in the sound of mountains and tsunamis.

As soon as Wu Huang walked out of the players' tunnel, he saw a huge MVP trophy standing on the platform set up in the middle of the court, and President David Stern was standing next to the trophy with a smile on his face, waiting for him.

The host of the scene first introduced today's protagonist with a passionate voice, the Holy Sect Master of New York - Wu Huang!

Last season, we witnessed the birth of a legend together.

Every season, fans expect new heroes to assert their authority, but neither the previous Trail Blazers nor the returning Kevin Durant of Turkey have lived up to the passionate and generous prophecies of the experts. Last season, it was our New York Holy Sect Master who finally won the MVP. While few took his MVP volacy early last season seriously, the winner was our pride. This year is different, no one can snatch this trophy from our Holy Master, it is now on the podium, waiting for our Master to take it home.

Wu Huang and his teammates high-fived one by one and went straight to the podium, received their own trophies from the smiling president, and then prepared to speak.

The moment he got the microphone, the fans in the audience had already sounded a uniform MVP call!

"Thank you, but I don't really have much to say about this award." Emperor Wu's first sentence was very inadequate, "In the past two years, I have heard a lot of criticism, but these voices are not enough to affect me." I remember in my first year, I told you many times that I was playing with the mentality of proving people wrong, and I wanted to prove that I was good. Unfortunately, since last year, I've been playing no longer to prove anything, because I've found that goals that were once out of reach are already close at hand, and I've always been good. ā€

Wu Huang is obviously arrogant again today, just when Knicks fans thought that the Holy Sect Master was going to offend people again, Wu Huang changed his words: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone else is rubbish, it's just that this process made me reflect, and it also made me see and realize that basketball is a team sport, no matter what level of competition, if you want to win the championship, you must rely on the whole team." So, now that I know I'm the best, I don't need to prove it with stats, I have to prove that I'm the best with more titles, and that's why I won last year. ā€

David Stern is a little sore at the moment, that's how you know the team? Aren't you still saying that everyone else is rubbish? Anyway, Wu Huang's words made the president want to give him two punches, and people with normal brain circuits would never be able to say these words to him.

Knicks fans also felt that their Holy Sect Master must not have taken medicine today, but Wu Huang became more and more excited the more he talked on the court: "After I won the championship, I realized that just winning the championship once is not enough to prove anything, only winning three consecutive championships can prove that I am the best player of the era." So I'm glad I have a new goal, and it's a challenging goal even for me. Actually, I'm not too sure I'll be able to do it anytime soon. Wu Huang paused for a moment, and then said what he thought was a very domineering sentence: "But it doesn't matter, I can accept defeat, whether I am a championship or not, I only know that I am now the strongest player in the league." ā€

Wu Huang probably felt that what he said was too arrogant, and finally added a more normal speech: "Finally, I want to say that without the efforts of the fans, the bosses, the management, the coaching staff and everyone here, I would not have been able to achieve my goals." Now, in addition to continuing to compete for the MVP trophy next year, my most urgent desire is to help the team win a second championship this year. We all worked very hard until we got there, we fought for championships in this arena for more than 30 years, and we finally achieved that goal last year, but now the Knicks are not just going to win the championship, we are going to challenge the whole league, we want to challenge the world, to be the best team in the world in the 21st century. ā€

David Stern secretly complained on the side: "I didn't even prepare a speech and came up talking nonsense, you better go down quickly!" ā€

Wu Huang's speech was terrible, and such a high-profile and no-nonsense speech also drew a lot of hatred for him, and the only good thing is that these words will definitely make him headlines in major media again, and maybe not just sports media headlines.

Of course, if this game is lost, then Wu Huang's headlines will be more stable.

However, stimulated by today's MVP trophy, Wu Huang was in amazing form from the first second of the game, and the first three shots were still accurate under the block of George Hill, showing an unreasonable appearance.

This kind of Wu Huang is the most terrifying, once he encounters him unreasonable and has a good hand, it will be a disaster for the defender.

The Pacers were already inferior in terms of strength, and they couldn't withstand such a blow at all, and the Knicks went on a 15-5 attack wave in the opening five minutes, which was so similar to the process of the first game.

After a full day of adjustment yesterday, the Indiana players have regained some confidence today, and they also found a lot of problems in their first game by watching the video, and they were ready to reason with the defending champions in the second game with a better mentality.

But Wu Huang didn't want to reason with anyone today, he just wanted to come up and get a high score in this game, that is, to celebrate his second regular season MVP with a high score or a triple-double, and he didn't listen to anything else.

Facing Wu Huang, who covered his ears and didn't listen to any reason, the Pacers players who had been prepared before the game were stunned by the Holy Sect Master again when they came up today! There is no problem with their defense, and George Hill's single defense is also in place, but Wu Huang's shooting is able to score, which makes the whole Pacers team helpless, including head coach Vogel, who can only take the trap.

Wu Huang wants to get a high score today, but it doesn't mean that he will continue to attack under the defense of two or three people on the other side, and it is also a good choice to get a triple-double at this time, just because he has not yet got a triple-double in the playoffs this year.

Hibbert's form rebounded today, in the first quarter on the inside to David West and Gasol each a block, but Wu Huang did not play inside at all, in the first quarter of his ten shots were outside the restricted area, and the remaining two were also through fast-break layups, perfectly avoiding Hibbert's defensive range.

This makes the Pacers players very helpless, what they are most afraid of is that Wu Huang will not play under the basket outside, and at this time, the Pacers' interior height advantage will be described as false.

Hibbert's strong point is really not very useful against the Knicks, Gasol's height is not as good as Hibbert, but the gap is not big, the latter's height does not affect him very much, the Spaniard can use his speed advantage to deal with Hibbert, he is faster and more agile than this black tower, and his technique is much better.

David West is not afraid of Hibbert either, and he doesn't go inside anyway, and his task in this series is to kill in the middle distance. Gasol also didn't play inside most of the time, and the distance between the two left and right was largely offset by Hibbert's height advantage.

The Knicks played too smoothly in the last game, and many of the targeted tactics arranged before the game were not used, or it only took a few times to take a large lead, which made the Pacers not really feel the feeling of being targeted, and today they finally felt their embarrassment on the inside.

After being caught by the Pacers, Wu Huang began to pass the ball to the baseline. There is no such term in basketball games, in fact, it is passed to players who cut from the baseline, as long as Hibbert dares to pull out, the Knicks begin to make a fuss from the back row, constantly sneaking up on the opponent's back.

Wu Huang also began to break down to the basket in the second quarter, aiming to force Hibbert back into the box to create opportunities for his two interior mid-range shots.

In the face of this style of play, it is difficult for the Pacers to take care of the beginning and the end, and if they can take care of the back, they can't take care of the mid-to-long-range shots, and if they can take care of the mid-to-long-range shots, they can't take care of the basket...... Battier and Iguodala also lay ambush in the two corners from time to time to shoot a few three-pointers, the Knicks still occupied the absolute initiative on the court in the second game, and the Pacers gradually had to deal with it passively, and were once again beaten to no end.

A difficult pull-up jump shot from Paul George and Jordan Hill before halftime gave the Knicks a 63-48 lead to end the first half. Although the 15-point advantage is 3 points less than the previous game, it also shows that the difference in strength between the two teams is still very huge, and it is difficult for the Pacers to control the difference within 10 points in the half.

The Madison Square Garden has been echoing the cheers of the MVP, Wu Huang scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal on 9-of-16 shooting in the first half, and his performance perfectly matched the shouts of the fans. (To be continued.) )
