Chapter 401 The youngest MVP in history, the new opponent Lakers!
On the night of May 9, Beijing time, the NBA league announced the winners of the title of Most Valuable Player in the 2008-2009 regular season.
It's Zhong Yu of the New Orleans Hornets.
In the regular season of the 2008-2009 season, Zhong Yu averaged 36.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.25 steals and 0.85 blocks per game, and was crowned the scoring champion of this season! At the same time, Zhong Yu's Hornets team has a brilliant record of 67 wins and 15 losses this season, ranking first in the league!
The team's record is the first in the league, and Zhong Yu's average score of 36.7 points per game is also the first among all players, and his super data of 36+5+5 is unique in the league!
And, in the middle of the season, the Hornets' star Chris . Paul was out of the game for a long time due to injury, and during this time, Zhong Yu led the rest of the Hornets players to withstand the pressure and play a very good game.
And this regular season, Zhong Yu was also selected to the league's first team, the league's defensive second team, and all kinds of glory came overwhelmingly.
Even if he's only 22 years old now, even if he's only a sophomore now, even if he's just a second-round show!
But this MVP deserves its name!
For Zhong Yu, there is no sense of mismatch.
Moreover, Jongwook won the title of MVP of the regular season in the 2008-2009 season, which also broke a record in the league.
Before Zhong Yu won the MVP of the regular season this season. The youngest MVP winner in league history was Wess in 1968-69. Unseld, who was only 23 years old at the time, was named Rookie of the Year and MVP in his rookie season in the league. But the 22-year-old Jongwook has successfully rewritten the league's all-time record held by Unseld after winning this year's MVP trophy.
He became the youngest MVP in NBA league history!
Jong-wook gets the MVP. It can also be said to be uncontroversial.
At most, there are some Paul fans who want to whine about it — last season, Chris Paul was at the last minute. Lost to Kobe. Bryant lost the title of the youngest MVP in history.
And this season. Zhong Yu won the title of the youngest MVP in history.
Although Paul's stats are not as good as Jongwook's, and he left the team midway through the season, Paul's contribution to the Hornets is obvious to all...... Why wasn't this MVP awarded to him?
Paul's fans are a little puzzled, but Zhong Yu's data is indeed in front of him. He's got everything he can do, whether it's the stats, the team's record, or anything else, and he's beyond reproach.
And, compared to the performance of the predecessors -
Moses. Malone managed to get regular season MVP in the 1978-1979 season, but that was his third season. Michael Jordan, also in the fourth season of his career, only got the regular season MVP!
And Zhong Yu. In the second season of his career, he got an MVP trophy!
His strength can be imagined.
The glory he brought to himself and his fans is also in front of everyone.
In this MVP competition, the first vote of 120 sports journalists and TV commentators who participated in the voting was made. Zhong Yu got 102 of them, the second, third, and fourth votes, and Zhong Yu got 50, 30, and 32 votes, respectively!
It can almost be said that with an absolute advantage, he overwhelmed several competitors under him, such as James, Kobe, Paul, and Howard!
After Russell, Nash, Nowitzki, and Parker, Chung Yu became the fifth NBA foreign player to win the regular season MVP!
He also brought back the first MVP of the NBA League to the Chinese basketball world!
…………
…………
The Chinese media can now be described with a heart.
Because, when Zhong Yu defeated the Rockets, many fans of the Chinese Rockets and Yao Ming were still immersed in sadness, Zhong Yu won the MVP of this season's regular season at once! …,
This has swept away the gloom of many people.
The fans of China were enthusiastic, and everyone expressed their greatest blessings and admiration for this 198cm defender.
Chinese fans also have that kind of pride from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhong Yu brought them supreme glory! He is by far the most successful defender in all of Asia and a home for many fans.
"Brother Yu is amazing!" The fans of the Chinese country were also very excited: "All-Star Game Kill, MVP, Regular Season Scoring Champion, First Team, Regular Season MVP...... So many awards, all added to a sophomore...... It's really powerful to do this, and grab all the NBA awards! ”
"The youngest MVP! Last year, Paul missed out on this award, and this year's Zhong Yu finally got this title...... After this MVP, I don't know how much glory will be added to him. ”
"Zhong Yu's current performance is like a god...... This time, it's God who wears the number 5 jersey. ”
…………
The Chinese basketball world, the fans of the Chinese country, of course, are collectively boiling, and many news websites have put Zhong Yu's regular season MVP on the top headlines.
I also registered a lot of newspapers that were not originally concerned with sports.
Zhong Yu became a big mess in the country of "China", and when he turned on the TV, he could often be seen.
Zhong Yu has also received a lot of strong attention from reporters from China in the United States. They often invited Zhong Yu to do interviews, and it was difficult to refuse, and there were also several times when they had live conversations with reporters from China and China.
Even. The 13 news channels of the Central Committee all gave Zhong Yu an exclusive interview, of course, in New Orleans.
Zhong Yu is not disgusted by these interviews, after all, it also helps to increase his popularity. Zhong Yu is not a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Seeing your fame rise, of course, is filled with a sense of accomplishment.
It's just that. These interviews are very time-prolonged, which is what makes Jongwook more disgusted.
Zhong Yu is in China, and his current popularity, I have to say, has surpassed Yao Ming! He has become the first person in the basketball world of China, and even the first person in the sports of China!
Basketball was originally the first sport in China, and Zhong Yu's popularity and publicity are now overwhelming, and of course, his influence has soared.
Not to mention Zhong Yu's strength. It's already quite outstanding. The data he got in the NBA was all obtained by real fighting, and his current strength was also fought by himself with one punch and one kick.
It is only natural that such a player with strength and a strong propaganda system will become the hottest star in China.
And, now, his influence has spread to the whole world.
His influence in the United States. It's also huge.
An article in the Los Angeles Post on May 10 wrote-
Jongwook won the title of Most Valuable Player of the regular season this season, and became the youngest player to do so. When the reporter saw this 22-year-old young man, he smiled handsomely, as if he could melt a glacier, and he was in perfect shape. I don't know how many girl fans can conquer the hearts. ”
"It was a great pleasure and I asked him what he thought of the youngest MVP and he said, 'Oh, it's a great honour, it's a great honor, it's a great care for me, and I thank the league but I also know it's motivating me to work harder.' The 22-year-old is becoming the new favorite of basketball fans on the planet, and I don't know how many fans who love basketball have worn the No. 5 jersey because of him. And the attitude he gave me was so polite that I felt like I saw my own brother. ”
"The Hornets' next game is likely to be against the Los Angeles Lakers, and at that point, we're going to be able to see a big fight. I think, this 22-year-old guy, he's totally ready! ”…,
…………
After the official NBA website announced that Chung Wook would become the MVP of the regular season this season, the following immediately boiled, and countless comments rushed up.
"Jong-wook's MVP is well deserved, he's the most powerful defender I've ever seen." An anonymous netizen in Los Angeles said: "I used to think Kobe Bryant was the strongest guard I've ever seen, before I met Jongwook. ”
A local New Orleans netizen said: "Although Paul didn't get the MVP and became the youngest best player in history, it became Zhong Yu, and we are very happy." Zhongyu deserves this award, and he brings new hope to basketball throughout New Orleans. ”
…………
There is basically no discord in the comments of all parties.
Zhongyu also received congratulatory calls from all directions, including Paul's.
Seriously, although this MVP was not snatched from Paul, Paul's defeat in the MVP race last season and the loss of what could have been the youngest MVP in history was lost, and this title was won by Zhongyu this season.
There is still some indirect connection between this.
So Zhong Yu is occasionally a little sorry, but he also knows that competition is like this, there is only one first place, and at the feet of the winner, he must step on the white bones of the loser.
He also slowly became calm.
…………
Jong-wook's MVP trophy hasn't been handed out yet, as the league is still in the works, and if nothing else, it should be awarded before the second game of the Western Conference Finals.
Therefore, Zhong Yu's matter of getting the MVP can also come to an end slowly.
They can concentrate on preparing for the next game.
On May 11, the Lakers and Spurs finally had a result!
In the battle between the Lakers and the Spurs, the Lakers defeated the home team Spurs with a score of 98-91 on the road, and finally won the series with a total score of 4-2!
In this way, the opponent of the Hornets is also determined, it is the Los Angeles Lakers!
The Lakers are a tough team to tangle with, and they also beat off the Hornets in the Western Conference Finals last season, and the Hornets now want revenge, but that requires more preparation.
