Chapter 857: Quasi-Monopoly! (a)
"This morning, the NBA league officially announced the most important award of the year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
In the past, awards that should have been announced after the end of the first round were only announced at this time.
What exactly happened, no one knows. But some people speculate that it may have something to do with the recent question within the NBA about who will succeed Stern after his term expires.
While issues such as competitions, honors, and awards are important, it is also crucial for the league to see who will be the leader.
For the final prizes of the regular season, there are more than one round of the playoffs, and there are advantages and disadvantages to announcing these awards again.
The advantage is that with more time to deliberate, the votes cast by the voters will be more deliberate and rigorous, and the final result will generally be more convincing.
The reason is simple, when the regular season is just over, voting starts immediately, and the results are given at the end of the first round. In this process, whoever performs well in the final period of the regular season will definitely leave the deepest impression in the minds of the judges.
Human memory is gradually declining, showing an exponential decline. At the beginning of the season, even if someone is extremely hot, as long as there is a little fatigue in the second half, it is likely to be compared to the person who broke out in the second half.
No matter how professional and fair the judges are, there will inevitably be some time deviations.
And waiting for the second round to be played for a while before the results are released, it proves that the entire voting process has been extended to the end of the first round. The monstrous performances in the second half of the season will be relatively bleak. The final conclusion is even more convincing.
And the downside of this is self-evident, because of the first round of the playoffs, the judges must have seen the game. The playoffs are a stage for superstars, and the playing time and statistics of superstars will be quite different from the regular season.
Many superstars' shooting percentages in the playoffs will decline, and statistics such as scoring will rise. The reason is that the playoff knockout format will lead to opponents who will definitely be more determined to encircle and suppress superstars.
At this time, the team's second and third leaders may usher in an outbreak. In this way, given the voting results at this time, some of the most dazzling players may be compared.
The so-called fairness can only be relative, and absolute fairness does not exist.
"It's finally here!"
Philadelphia, Riverside Villa.
"It's coming~"
Chen Mu sat on the sofa, staring at the screen with his eyes, although Chen Mu actually had some idea of the final result. But the feeling of watching the live broadcast is still different, and if I can win for a second time......
You have to prepare a nice suit, and wait until the end of the second round to receive the award!
"Come on, Brother Mu, do you want to eat something~?"
Xiao Nizi is in Philadelphia and lives in Chen Mu's house. On this day, the school happened to be fine, and I was resting, and I rarely accompanied Chen Mu to watch this sports news that was not even a real live broadcast.
However, it's great to have someone you like by your side and look forward to whether you can win the highest honor together!
"No, no, I'm full, I'm going to train in a while, I can't eat too much."
Chen Mu shook his head with a smile, then reached out and patted the sofa beside him and said, "Sit down, sit down!" Let's take a quiz! β
"Guess?"
Su Yin sat down, blinked and looked at Chen Mudao: "Guess what?" β
"Guess what to expect from a second wave of MVP, DPOY and other awards!"
Chen Mu said with interest: "Wash the dishes at night when you lose!" β
"Isn't there a dishwasher? Stupid~"
Su Yin stuck out his tongue.
"Eh, what's the fun of life!"
Chen Mule was happy, reached out and rubbed Su Yin's head, and then turned back to stare at the TV with concern.
Well......
Xiao Nizi suddenly felt a deer in her heart, although she had a lot of intimate contact before, and it can be regarded as a boyfriend and girlfriend who are sure of the relationship, but ......
This feeling of living at home is really warm......!
"The first thing to be announced is the rookie awards for this season."
The host began to broadcast, and the guests on the side also listened attentively.
What the host is holding in his hand is an exclusive article from the league, which is available in major sports media. Even the expert guests did not know the real results.
"The rookie second team roster for this season is as follows: DeJuan Blair, Jonny Flynn, James Harden, Jonas Jerebko, Marcus Thornton."
Basically, there are no surprises, and it is exactly the same as the original timeline.
Chen Mu nodded.
"The rookie first team lineup is as follows: Darren Collisson, Stephen Curry, Tyrek Evans, Tai Gibson, Brandon Jennings!"
"Ding Ding"
Chen Mu took out his mobile phone and sent a congratulatory text message to Curry with a smile, but Curry replied to the message after a short while.
"Haha, is it Stephen? What did he say? β
Su Yin stepped forward curiously.
"This kid, hahahahahaha."
Chen Mu was happy as soon as he saw the text message.
There was not half a word in the text message, only a long list of expressions, all of which were small avatars of nervousness.
"I guess I'm nervous! Although the performance in the second half was outstanding, the stats were wonderful. But there are still a lot of competitors this season, this kid, I guess I'm waiting for the best rookie award to be announced! β
Chen Mu said with a smile.
"Is there hope? Stephen? β
Su Yin asked.
"It's hard."
Chen Mu shook his head without hesitation and said: "Don't talk about Jennings, Tyrek Evans's data is too beautiful, 20+5+5, this rookie data is also rare in history." If nothing else, I'd go with Evans. β
"Then I'll choose Curry~"
Xiao Nizi grimaced at Chen Mu with a little bit of competition.
Also, everyone chooses the same, so what else can you guess?
"And then there's Rookie of the Year."
Before the host started broadcasting, a group of guests also discussed, some supported Jennings (the 55-point game was there), and some supported Curry (the record for the most three-point shots made by a rookie, and a wonderful performance in the second half), but it seems that they still support Evans the most.
The final result was not expected by Chen Mu.
"Congratulations to Terek Evans, Rookie of the Year!"
"Oops......"
"Ding Ding"
Su Yin's sigh and the sound of mobile phone text messages sounded at the same time, Chen Mu turned his head and made a grimace at Xiao Nizi in return, and then wrote the words "Mu 1:0 Yin" on a piece of paper, and then picked up his mobile phone to open the text message.
A long list of crying and laughing emojis.
"It's okay, it's not important, you're going to be the man who will hit the MVP in the future, remember."
After Chen Mu finished typing, he added a thumbs up emoji and clicked send.
On the other side, Curry's rented place, seeing Chen Mu's text message, the rookie instantly got wet.
I...... mvpοΌ
Is it really possible?
"Well deserved!"
The guests did not have much objection to this result, and it can even be said that this award will be questioned by anyone, but not Evans.
Groundbreaking No. 1 position play, beautiful fingerroll layups, strong, flexible, vision.
It's like the middle-aged point guard Mu Shenji in the famous anime "Basketball Master", if it weren't for injuries, unclear follow-up positioning of the team, and continuous changes of position.
Evans, who has been playing the No. 1 position, will there be more dazzling achievements?
After that, the awards continued to be released, and the attribution of several awards was not much different from Chen Mu's memory.
However, sometimes Chen Mu will still make different predictions according to his own court feelings, and the result is a mutual victory or defeat with Su Yin.
The most improved player, Aaron Brooks of the Rockets.
Sixth Man of the Year, all-weather scoring machine Jamal Crawford.
When the attribution of the best defensive player was announced, although he knew that it was unlikely to win this award this season, Chen Mu still voted for himself.
As a result, Dwight Howard, the man who single-handedly supported the Suns' defensive stalwarts, won this blockbuster award.
After that, the individual awards came to an end for the time being, and they continued to enter the best team.
When the defensive second team was announced, cheers erupted in many places across Philadelphia.
The defensive second team is as follows: Tim Duncan, Josh Smith, Gerard Wallace, Dwyane Wade, and...... Andrea Iguodala. β
βyesοΌοΌβ
Chen Mu also shook his fist excitedly, and before he could send a text message to celebrate, his mobile phone rang first.
"Hahahahaha! See it!!!!!! β
Iguodala not only sent text messages, but also tweeted, myspace, and even emailed to tell many friends who did not have a number......
How much is that......
"Okay, wallet ready."
Chen Mu replied with a text message indifferently, and Su Yin, who saw Chen Mu's reply, was immediately happy, and laughed with Chen Mu for a while before retracting his heart and continuing to watch the live broadcast.
"Andre Iguodala really deserves the accolade, and I personally think that Iguodala's individual defense is actually quite good enough for a while. But there are two things that detract from him, one is the fact that he was blown up by Pierce in the playoffs last year. And in this season's playoffs, the fact that it is still difficult to guard against Pierce in the second round of the Eastern Conference that is currently underway. β
When an expert said this, everyone nodded yes.
"Ding Ding"
Chen Mu didn't need to look at it to know that it must have been Iguodala who sent a text message back.
ββ¦β¦ Are there any sacks? I want to set a person. β
"Pss......ss
Chen Mu and Su Yin laughed again, this Andre is really enough.
After that, defend the first lineup.
The list is announced.
"Defensive first lineup, Dpoy Dwight Howard at center and Rajon Rondo at point guard. After that, the candidates in the second, third and fourth positions didn't sound like the best defensive lineup, but the best team for a while. β
The host Zhengse said: "The three superstars who dominate both offensive and defensive ends are among them. (To be continued.) )
