Legendary star

Chapter 622

"Are all the judges blind?"

On May 2005, 5, the entire Pacers team voluntarily stayed after the day's training session. However, they did not conduct any additional training today. Instead, they all gathered in the club's conference room. Discussing the upcoming second round of the playoffs, while waiting for the NBA to announce the MVP candidate for the 5-2004 regular season.

The Pacers this season, although there has been a relatively large decline in record, but at the end of the season, the Pacers still ranked first in the league with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses. In this season, due to playing small forward again, the assist data has dropped sharply, but Meng Xu once again won the scoring and stealing titles this season. At the same time, in the 82 regular season games, Meng Xu averaged With 32 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2 blocks, and 3.5 steals all-around data, Meng Xu's voice for continuing to win the regular season MVP is still very high, but in the final voting results, Meng Xu only ranked The third place only got 6 poor first ballots. For these 6 first ballots, it is estimated that the media in Indiana voted for Meng Xu, so after the selection results were announced, James Posey immediately voted for Meng Xu. It's rough.

"Meng, think about it, you are still young, there are plenty of opportunities." Rick Carlisle, who was sitting next to Meng Xu, patted Meng Xu on the shoulder to comfort Meng Xu after the results were announced on TV.

"I'm fine." After smiling back at Rick Carlisle, Meng Xu completely let go of his petty thoughts. It's impossible not to let go. The results of the selection have been announced. No matter how unwilling he is, there is nothing he can do now. up.

In fact, Meng Xu also knows in his heart that although his performance this season is also very good, because in the history of the NBA, there has never been a player who has won four consecutive regular season MVPs, so Meng Xu is unlikely to break this rule. Unspoken rules, plus the Pacers lost 20 more regular season games than last season, so whether it is due to aesthetic fatigue or team record considerations, it is normal for Meng Xu to miss the regular season MVP.

As for this year's MVP selection, whether it is Steve Nash who was elected, or Dirk Nowitzki who was ranked second before Meng Xu, both of them have enough reasons to be elected.

Especially Steve Nash, who overwhelmed Dirk Nowitzki, was elected. With only one more Steve Nash in the team's main lineup, the Suns actually won 32 more regular games than last season. This kind of super-substantial record improvement is definitely very dazzling, and Steve Nash averaged 16.5 points and 11.5 assists per game this season, which is also the first among all point guards.

As for Dirk Nowitzki, who is ranked second, both the Mavericks and Nowitzki's performance this season are beyond everyone's expectations. After losing Antawn Walker and Antawn Jamison, most people began to bad-mouth the Mavericks. After all, the Mavericks lost three All-Stars who were in their prime, but at the end of the regular season After that, the Mavericks achieved a record of 59 wins, and Dirk Nowitzki also averaged 25 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists per game this season. It's too bad, Dirk Nowitzki is very likely to be crowned the MVP of this season's regular season.

Although he failed to continue to win the regular season MVP, Meng Xu's harvest this season is still very rich. He was selected to the best first team for the fifth time in his career and was selected to the best defensive first team for the sixth time.Perhaps it is because they already know that Meng Xu has no chance to be the MVP of the regular season, and the league wants to compensate Meng Xu. In the selection of the best defensive player, Meng Xu once again defeated Ben Wallace with a very small advantage and won the second consecutive season. As an outside player, he was elected as the best defensive player for two consecutive seasons and won the best defensive player award three times. Meng Xu can be regarded as No.1 in MBA history.

In addition to Meng Xu, several players selected to the best team this season are center Shaq O'Neal, forward Dirk Nowitzki, and two guards Steve Nash and Alan Allen. Ferson.

After Meng Xu and Nowitzki, the top three in the MVP rankings, were selected to the best team as forwards, Tim Duncan was also squeezed out of the best team this season, and Kevin Garnett was selected The second team of the best team.The center of the Houston Rockets, Meng Xu's teammate Yao Ming in the national team, in the third season of his career, he averaged 20 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. 20 players who can get 10+6 data, so Yao Ming was also selected as a center for the second team of the best team. Yao Ming's selection of the best team also means that the new generation of players has begun to ascend to the highest stage of the NBA. In Yao Ming, After Duncan and Garnett, McGrady and Kobe were selected to the second team of the best team as guards.

Compared with the first team of the best team is still dominated by young and middle-aged players, the second team of the best team is only a young player Yao Ming, the third team of the best team this season, the proportion of new generation players is very large, the first is the center In terms of position, Damier Stoudemire, who was in the same class as Yao Ming, successfully squeezed out Ben Wallace to occupy a spot. As for the forward position, the two players selected this season are Jermaine O'Neal and 03 The No. 27.2 pick of the generation, LeBron James, averaged 7.2 points, 7.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and 27 steals per game this season, becoming the No. 7 player after Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and Meng Xu. Four players who can get 7+03+[-] data in a single season, if it is not dragged down by the team's record, LeBron James is likely to squeeze out one of Duncan and Garnett and be selected for the second team of the best team.As the "Four Great Shooting Guards" touted by the league, Vince Carter's performance in recent seasons has been unsatisfactory. Compared with the other three, there is already a tendency to fall behind. In the selection of the best team of this season, it is also very thrilling to be selected to the third team of the best team. Another guard who was selected at the same time as Vince Carter is also a player from the [-] generation, Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, also Also in the second season of his career, he was selected to the best team.

The selection of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to the best team also means that the 03 rookies, known as the platinum generation, will officially embark on their own journey and compete for the highest honor in the NBA.
