The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

After sweeping the Knicks 4:0, the Wizards entered a nearly week-long rest period. During this period, the team will make some adjustments and begin to prepare information about their opponents in the second round of the playoffs.

There is no need to mention these trivial matters. As the first round of competition entered a fever pitch, major awards in the regular season were also selected one after another.

The league officials first announced the two most suspenseful honors, the best defensive player and the best sixth man.

These two awards are indeed the least suspenseful.

Howard won the Defensive Player of the Year trophy for the third time, becoming the first Defensive Player of the Year to win the trophy for three consecutive years in recent years.

The best sixth man was once again won by James Harden of Wang Xiao's team. This season, he averaged 20+8 per game. Such statistics are invincible among substitute players in the entire league.

Subsequently, the league's first team, second team, third team and best defensive team were also announced one after another.

The best teams are Curry, Kobe, James, Durant and Howard.

Selected for the second team, it is Rose, Wade, Anthony, Nowitzki and Gasol.

Those selected for the third team are Chris Paul, Westbrook, Harden, Randolph and Aldridge.

There are only 15 best lineups in total, and among the more than 450 people in the league, only the three with the best positions can enter this ranking. How to choose and decide is a question that voters need to consider from various aspects, and There is no doubt that these 15 people all have commendable strength.

Immediately following the best team is the more suspenseful best rookie.

The winner in the end was Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American.

In terms of regular season data, Jeremy Lin and Griffin are almost on par, but at this time Jeremy Lin is still leading the Nets and the Bulls to work hard to get close to the second round of the playoffs, while Griffin is in the same position after the regular season. Go to the beach to enjoy a wonderful holiday.

The gap in record made Griffin lose a bit, and it also made him lose to Jeremy Lin.

To be honest, Wang Xiao was a little surprised when he heard the news.

Originally, in his opinion, the possibility of Jeremy Lin being the best rookie is not very high. Even if the record is dominant, there is only about a 30% probability.

The reason for thinking this way is simple, race issues.

A very simple truth.

The best rookie is voted by news media and reporters across the United States and Canada, and the vast majority of these media reporters are white or black, and there are almost no yellow people.

In this case, Jeremy Lin has a natural disadvantage compared to Griffin.

Griffin is a mulatto, whether black or white would be happy to vote for him.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with strength, just like when Huaxia participates in voting, they will vote for their own stars without hesitation, and they will not consider the strength of both parties.

In 2003, Yao Ming, who had just joined the league, was able to defeat the flourishing Shaquille O'Neal in the All-Star ballot and squeeze the Sharks to the All-Star bench, thanks to the huge group of Chinese people.

However, the selection of the best rookie did not participate in the Huaxia media, and the voting would naturally be biased.

Just like Yao Ming's great momentum in 2003, the final best rookie was still taken away by Stoudemire.

That year, Yao Ming and Stoudemire's data were almost the same, and the team's record was only one more loss.

But Stoudemire received significantly more votes.

Although Jeremy Lin is different from Yao Ming in that he is a Chinese-American, in fact there is not much difference.

So when he learned that Jeremy Lin beat Griffin to win the best rookie trophy, Wang Xiao was quite surprised, and when the number of votes for the two was announced, Wang Xiao secretly broke into a cold sweat for his disciple.

Judging from the number of votes, Jeremy Lin was very lucky to win. He and Griffin had exactly the same number of votes in the first place, slightly behind in the second vote, but got a lot more votes than Griffin in the third place, and finally won by 2 points. Advantage over Griffin to lift the trophy.

The first vote is worth 5 points, the second vote is worth 3 points, and the third vote is only worth 1 point. Even if Griffin gets one more second vote, he will defeat Jeremy Lin and win the trophy.

It has to be said that Jeremy Lin was very lucky, and he won the trophy twice in three years at Harvard University, which also allowed him to have a certain number of fans in the United States.

Jeremy Lin, who won the best rookie, also became the first person of yellow race to win the best rookie in history. This is an achievement that even Yao Ming failed to achieve.

...

After the best rookie, there is the final award, the selection of the best player in the regular season.

This year's regular season MVP award has added Internet voting weight, so the statistical time of the selection results will not be announced until the end of May or even the beginning of June.

But so far, there is actually no suspense about who is the most likely candidate for the MVP of the regular season.

Currently, the top three MVPs in the regular season are Curry of the Wizards, Rose of the Bulls and Howard of the Magic. James suffered Waterloo because of his popularity after joining the Heat. ranked fifth.

Due to the poor record, the third Howard has basically been declared out, and the most likely winner of the regular season MVP will be one of Curry and Rose.

Curry averaged 27+6.9 in the regular season, and Rose averaged 25+7.7 in the regular season. In terms of statistics, the two are almost on par. In terms of record, Curry's Wizards won 68 games, which is obviously better than Rose's. The Bulls are even better with 60 wins.

But on the other hand, Rose's solid traditional style of play and importance to the team are on the more dominant side than Curry, and it is easier to please the media.

So even if Curry's team has a record, it is hard to say that they have a greater advantage.

Even Wang Xiao couldn't decide which of these two could finally win the regular season MVP award.

However, whether it is Curry or Rose, whoever wins the regular season MVP will be quite a sensation for the league, and they will all break the record for the youngest regular season MVP.

Both of them were born in 1988. Although Curry is a few months older than Rose, the record of being the youngest MVP in the league has no effect.

Although no one knows who will have the last laugh between the two, the media has already begun to build momentum.

"After the center era represented by Olajuwon O'Neal Duncan, the guard era represented by Kobe Iverson Carter, and the forward era represented by James and Anthony, the league is about to usher in the era of point guards!"
