God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 339 Missing the Prize
After the NBA officially arranged the playoffs schedule for the 16 teams, they started the next important task. For them, the fights of the powerful from all walks of life have nothing to do with them. Although there will occasionally be some referee control in the playoffs There are rumors about the outcome of the game, but it is generally determined by the strength and performance of the team itself, and the official will not care so much about you.

Now their energy is basically focused on the selection of the major awards this season, regardless of the data kings. Although the league has statistics, it will not give them awards.What everyone looks forward to every season is the regular season MVP, best rookie, best defensive player, most improved award and best sixth man. Other awards are relatively less concerned.

As the league's regular season champions and championship favorites this season, the names of 76ers players appear quite frequently in the selection of major awards. Iverson, Reid, Arenas, Dalembert and Bell all Those who are on the list theoretically have a chance to win.But the one who is least likely to win the award is undoubtedly Reid. After all, his name appeared in the regular season MVP selection. Maybe some judges voted for him because of his sharp three-pointers, but it is obviously impossible to change. big picture.

The regular season MVP has been established since the 1955-56 season, and was first voted by the players. After Stern became the president of the league in the 1980-81 season, the MVP selection mechanism underwent a huge change. The voting rights for the regular season MVP were handed over to media reporters and basketball commentators. Dr. J became the first MVP selected by media commentators. .The rules stipulate that each media or commentator must vote for the top five candidates in their minds. The first place gets 10 points, the second gets 7 points, the third gets 5 points, the fourth gets 3 points, and the fifth gets 1 point. .Finally, all the voting results will be counted, and the player with the highest score will be elected as the MVP.

Of course, the votes of the players will not be wasted. The league will also organize players from all over the league to vote for the MVP of the regular season in their minds, but this MVP is symbolic. The league will not give a trophy to the winning players. The Player's MVP is a consolation prize for a player who didn't get the regular-season MVP.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there were many perverted players, and the competition for the regular season MVP was naturally fierce.Since Stern handed over the voting rights to media reporters and commentators, the team's record is no longer the only factor in selecting the MVP, and the player's personal data has also been taken into consideration. In this regard, Iverson is far behind other players. Top pick.After all, the 76ers have completely turned into a team style of play. Iverson may be able to kill the Quartet in some games, but most of the time it is still impossible to just swipe the data.

Chang Wei has no hope for Iverson to win the regular season MVP. In his previous life, he won the regular season MVP last season, but Chang Wei's arrival changed everything. Iverson passed the MVP in the 00-01 season. However, it was a real shoulder-to-shoulder that he finished second in the MVP voting and was less than 100 points behind Shaquille O'Neal, which is pretty slim.Not to mention the MVP this season, it is very difficult for Iverson to reach the second place in the vote. The odds of O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, and Tracy McGrady are all lower than him, and even Kobe is more hopeful than him as the second head of the Lakers.

In contrast, Chang Wei is still more optimistic about Arenas. Of course, he is not optimistic about this guy becoming the best rookie. When he is collecting statistics, Gasol is also collecting statistics, and he is still the core of the team's reconstruction, playing time and shots. Opportunities are much more than Arenas.The real hope for Arenas is the best sixth man. As the chief scorer of the 76ers' bench lineup this season, there are only a handful of bench players in the league who average more points per game than him. It is estimated that it will be difficult to compete with him.

Dalembert, another 76ers player who appeared in the best rookie option, has the identity and treatment of a starter. Unfortunately, his style is still too simple and low-key. Defense, which also makes his personal data not so good.In addition, as the same inside player, Gasol will basically be blown out by comparison between the two, so Chang Wei doesn't have much hope for this guy. A blue-collar center is indeed not favored by the judges.

As for Bell, the 76ers' number one perimeter gate still has a good chance of winning the best defensive player, but his competitors are not bad.Among other things, Ben Wallace, the final winner of the best defensive player of the season in his previous life, has already posed a huge threat to him. Wallace is also currently the most popular favorite for the best defensive player. His statistics this season He averaged 7.6 points, 13 rebounds and an astonishing 3.5 blocks per game. He is not only the league's block leader this season, but also averaged nearly one more block per game than No.2 LaFrentz. Undoubtedly a very huge lead.

In addition to Wallace, the two No. 21 Duncan and Garnett in the West are also very strong opponents, but they are not as pure as Wallace. Most of the time they have to bear the team's offensive burden. But it does not mean that their chances of winning will be greatly reduced. Relatively speaking, Bell has no special advantage.

In the end, Chang Wei's rebirth did not change the ownership of several major awards. The 76ers players seemed to join in the fun. Although they all got some votes, it was not enough to help them get very important personal honors. The MVP was given to Duncan. This is also the first regular season MVP in Shifo's career. No matter whether it is the third place in the Western Conference of the Spurs or his own data of 25.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, he is well-deserved In the name of the regular season MVP.

The best defensive player was still given to Big Ben Wallace, the undrafted pick has blazed his own path; the best rookie still belongs to the Spanish handsome Gasol, although the Grizzlies record is a mess, Gasol With an average of close to 18+10 per game, he won this important award almost without encountering any competition.

Fortunately, the 76ers finally gained something. Arenas won the best sixth man by virtue of his overall performance of 16.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Such an honor that can be won, must have wiped away his depression that he was only selected last in the first round.In fact, he himself was a little unbelievable when he received the news. He almost thought that the person who called him was a liar. He didn't believe it was true until the major media rushed to report.For a player like Arenas, although the best sixth man is not as tall as the MVP of the regular season, it is no different from a tube of chicken blood. The performance was full of expectations.
