Chapter 659
The competition for the MVP of the regular season is still quite fierce, fierce and fierce, but the candidates are actually two people. One is LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the other is Chen Jiyuan of the New York Knicks.
James averaged 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season, which is indeed very unusual. But Chen Jiyuan's data is also No. 4, and he is not left behind. Chen Jiyuan averaged 28.1 points, 15.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.4 blocks per game this season. This data is also quite luxurious.
And the importance of both men to the team is self-evident. Everyone knows what the consequences of the Knicks losing Chen Jiyuan and the Cavaliers losing James are.
So, the competition between the two people is really fierce.
Before the results, many people were asked in interviews about who exactly will be the winner of this year's regular season MVP.
Carter, as Howard's teammate, certainly did not hesitate to support his teammates, "I think Dwight's performance this season is definitely MVP, he has grown into a monster." â
Sessions swore and said: "I don't know if the league has any reason not to give him this trophy (Chen Jiyuan), we play together, so I know better how terrifying that guy is." That trophy was a gift he deserved. â
As for those who are not teammates, the answer is interesting.
Although the Celtics have a pretty good season this season, the biggest problem is that the Big Three are all very even, and what are the consequences. That is, it is too difficult to grasp the data.
You tell me, how can a player with 18.9 points and 9.6 rebounds compete with others for this MVP trophy. To be honest, this data is a bit too much to see in this group of people.
Besides, the leader of the Celtics team must be Pierce, no matter how popular your wolf king is, the boss of the team who claims to be Pierce is Pierce. What's more, Garnett himself admitted that he was here to help Pierce. So, even if you go for it, it should be Pierce.
But Pierce is also a pragmatist, and he is not popular enough in the hearts of fans. Moreover, the biggest flaw is the statistics, Pierce 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists. Although this data can be seen in the past, it is much worse than James Chen Jiyuan.
When Pierce was interviewed, of course, he knew very well that no one on his team could win the regular season MVP this season, and there was no hope. However, Pierce didn't like James, two leading players on different teams in the same position, and there was little to no good relationship. Pierce will definitely not say anything about supporting James, and then what about Kobe, the grudge between the two is deeper, and it is no longer that he doesn't like it. As the opponent of the finals for two consecutive years, if the relationship is harmonious, then I can only silently eat all the excrement in the toilet. And then there is Chen Jiyuan, one of the people with the greatest hope, Pierce also dislikes it very much, this year's Knicks and Celtics are very fierce before the competition, Pierce doesn't want to grow his popularity at this time. Think about it, think about it, Nima, remember.
"I think, we should focus on the newcomer, you see, who is small, how good the performance is, just the old Du family, the kid called Durant. Look at that kid, the data is good, the team's results are good, I'm optimistic about him! â
Pierce rolled out a Durant. In fact, it is not blind, Durant's performance this season is indeed good, not only has his scoring ability been developed, he won the scoring crown, but the team has also entered the playoffs. If you want to give it to him, it's okay. But Durant has obviously not reached the point where he can stand out, especially in the figures of Chen Jiyuan and James.
It wasn't until the last minute that the battle for the MVP of the regular season was decided.
Chen Jiyuan finally took a narrow lead and won the 2009-10 regular season MVP trophy. James received 22.1 percent of the vote. Chen Jiyuan received 26.7% of the vote.
The voting rules for this year's regular season MVP have changed compared to last year, and fans can vote online for their favorite regular season MVP. The result of the ballot will be one vote. This is also the first time in the history of the league that fans are allowed to participate in the selection of regular season MVPs.
The remaining 124 ballots are still decided by sports journalists, editors and broadcasters. If the results of the ballots are very close, then the votes of the fans are likely to be decisive.
But judging from the results, it doesn't seem to be the result of the fans' votes.
Chen Jiyuan's biggest advantage over James may be the team's record. Chen Jiyuan, who has completed such a rebellious record, certainly has a reason to become the regular season MVP this season.
However, even so, James' solo performance this season has conquered quite a few people. Many reporters said that this year's vote is really not good. Whether it's Chen Jiyuan or James, they are so good, I really hope that there can be two first votes.
However, compared to letting James defend his title, it seems that there are more people who choose to let Chen Jiyuan get his first regular season MVP trophy in his life.
The dust has settled on this award. It also added a lot of gimmicks to the game between the Knicks and the Magic. Because Chen Jiyuan got the regular season MVP trophy on his side, and on the other side, the absolute core player of the Magic, Howard also got the news, and Howard also successfully won the best defensive player this season. Howard successfully defended his Defensive Player of the Year title.
In this case, the early result is that the Knicks and Magic are not just competing for the best center, but also between the regular season MVP and the best defensive player. The game was thrust into the limelight for a while.
The first game between the Knicks and the Magic was played at the Knicks' home court, Madison Square Garden in New York.
Before the game, the fans in the stadium were crazy to witness this moment. They are witnessing the king of their own teams â accepting the regular season MVP crown at home.
When Chen Jiyuan recorded this trophy from Stern's hand, the fans in the stadium roared even more wildly.
âMVPãMVPãMVPãâ
The shouts overshadowed everything. Being able to hear the cheers in New York's Madison Square Square was something Stern hadn't experienced in a long time. Because of the poor record of the Knicks in the past, Stern boos every time he came here. And the number of times Stern has been here is really a lot. It's really helpless. It's good now. Finally, I don't have to enjoy that boo.
Chen Jiyuan took the microphone. Tried the sound. Then he said to the fans:
"Gentlemen and ladies! Today's game, I need your witness, here, and now, I have won my first MVP trophy (regular season MVP). I'm not just going to lift this trophy here, I'm going to be lifting another trophy in a while. As a thank you for your continued support. Thank you! â
As he spoke, Chen Jiyuan smiled and bowed to the fans in the audience.
As soon as Chen Jiyuan's words fell, Madison Square Garden instantly remembered an extremely enthusiastic shout. The atmosphere in the arena reached its peak for a while.
This is actually quite beneficial for the home team, that is, the Knicks.
The competition is about to start in earnest.
Both players were in the position where they were supposed to stand.
The Knicks' starters are Chen Jiyuan, Sessions, Iguodala, Stephen Jackson and Love.
The Magic's starters are Howard, Petrus, Lewis, Carter, Nelson.
The Magic team is a typical tactical system of one big and four small.
Howard draws the opponent's defensive attention on the inside, while Lewis is ready to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers on the outside, and often Lewis can draw a lot of defensive attention, because Lewis is still a good three-point shooter after all.
When jumping the ball, Chen Jiyuan's jumping timing was not as good as Howard's. This jump ball was won by Howard. The Magic got the chance to attack first.
After Nelson dribbled the ball through halftime, he passed the ball to Howard on the inside.
Howard inside back singles Love. Chen Jiyuan followed Lewis on the outside and defended Lewis's three-point shot.
Howard's lack of strength in the lower limbs is a shortcoming, so in the face of players who are very stable in the lower set, Howard is often unable to play. Because Howard can't bump in.
Love's body is also very thick, and Howard hit it twice on the inside, but it didn't have any effect. Fortunately, Howard is no longer an offensive player who only relies solely on physical fitness on the inside.
After Howard bumped it, he suddenly turned around and slipped off the line.
But unfortunately, after the ball turned, one of Howard's layups was interfered with by Love and did not go in.
But Howard's defense is the best thing.
The Knicks' first ball was also handled by Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan also wanted to test whether he had a touch or not, standing near the three-point line, Chen Jiyuan received a pass from Sessions. Then he turned around and wanted to deliver a fatal blow to Howard,
There is still a distance between Chen Jiyuan and Howard, and Howard obviously will not defend Chen Jiyuan's jump shot to death.
Chen Jiyuan only panicked slightly, but Howard didn't care about this kind of attack at all. Howard only needs to catch the opponent's shot.
Chen Jiyuan suddenly jumped and jumped, it seems that Chen Jiyuan's hand is better than Howard's today, this ball, Chen Jiyuan hit.
