Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 334 Announcement of Awards
As the second round of the regular season is about to start, the MVP battle that has been hyped for nearly half a month has finally come to an end.

Having said that, it is necessary to explain the selection process of MVP.

Until the 1979-1980 season, the NBA still used NBA players to vote for the MVP. However, since the 80s, the rules of the league have changed. This award, which is almost the highest personal honor for a player, has been handed over to the "province" of the United States and Maple Leafs. Sports reporter and TV commentator.

Each of their judges voted for the best player in their hearts first to No.5, and then the first vote was 10 points, the second vote was 7 points, the third vote was 5 points, and the fourth vote was 3 points. The fifth ballot is 1 point.

而本赛季的MVP评选竞争尤为激烈，迈克尔·乔丹场均可以贡献35分5.5篮板5.9助攻3.2抢断，李为思场均可以贡献25.2分12.2助攻2.8抢断。

In terms of statistics alone, Jordan is undoubtedly dominant, but considering the team's record, Jordan is third in the Eastern Conference, Li Weisi is first in the league, and also broke the best record in team history.

This has led to a serious split of votes between reporters and commentators who select the MVP.

In the end, after half a month of fierce competition, in the end, Jordan won the MVP of the 32.1-43.45 season with 87% of the votes and 88% of the first choice.

Li Weisi won 30.26% of the votes and 45.66% of the first choice, but regrettably lost and came in second.

It is not difficult to see from this that the judges who voted for Li Weisi's first vote were superfluous to Jordan, and it was only because the score of the subsequent votes was lower than that of Jordan that they regretted losing in the end.

And as the saying goes, the boss and the second fought and killed the third and fourth, and the MVPs ranked third and fourth were Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

This year is the lowest number of votes the two of them have received since the 80s. The voting rate of both of them is less than 15%, and the first-choice rate is less than 5%. It can be seen that the judges still regard them as the first players in the league. It has become less and less.

However, even though Jordan was elected as the MVP, it still failed to change the outside world's controversy over the MVP selection, and even raised doubts about the MVP selection process.

Fortunately, questioning votes is also an old tradition in the United States, and it has not caused much disturbance.

In fact, it is not unacceptable for Jordan to be elected.

On the one hand, Jordan's record is not bad, and more importantly, in the eyes of these reporters, Li Weisi's teammates are too strong.

Among other things, Malone, the former MVP star, is enough to make some reporters split their votes.

In short, no matter what kind of controversy there is, the MVP battle is still settled.

In addition to the MVP boy, other personal awards will also be announced.

Jordan won the best defensive player with 69.81% of the votes, which is also the only best defensive player in his life.

The best rookie was won by Mark Jackson, and the most improved player was won by John Stockton. He has grown from averaging 7.9 points and 8.2 assists last season to 14.7 points and 13.8 assists this season, which is well deserved.

The original space-time award should have belonged to Duckworth, but it is a pity that Duckworth is still a substitute, and the playing time is not enough, and the statistics have not improved dramatically.

The best sixth man was won by Roy Tapley of the Mavericks. He averaged 13.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game this season.

Best First Team: Li Weisi, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Best Second Team: Elvin Johnson, Derek Drexler, Dominique Wilkins, Karl Malone and Patrick Ewing.

The biggest bright spot this time is that Li Weisi successfully squeezed Johnson out of the first team, which is really nothing to write home about.

Logically speaking, Li Weisi's achievements at this time cannot be compared with Magic Johnson, who can already participate in the discussion of the number one point guard in history. second.

Best Defensive Team: Michael Cooper, Michael Jordan, Rodney McRae, Kevin McHale and Akeem Olajuwon.

All-Defensive Second Team: Fat Leaf, Karl Malone, Elvin Robertson, Buck Williams, Mark Eaton, Patrick Ewing.

Yes, you read that right, there are six people in the second defensive team!
Different from the selection of MVP, the selection of defensive lineup at this time is mainly voted by all the head coaches of the league. It is also 2 points for the first team and 1 point for the second team. For the defensive second team.

In this year, there was a rare tie vote, so six people were selected into the defensive line at the same time. In fact, although such a thing is rare, it has happened.

In the original time and space, in the 05-06 season, Kobe and Kidd also had 6 players on the defensive team because of a tie.

In addition, the best rookie lineup is: Kenny Smith of the Kings, Derek McKay of the Supersonics, Mark Jackson of the Knicks, Almon Gilliam of the Suns, and Greg Anderson of the Spurs.

Finally, there is the best coach, which was given to Doug Mo, the head coach of the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets' record this year ranks third in the Western Conference. Compared with last year, it has improved by 17 wins.

As for Nelson, he only ranked third in the selection of the best coach, not as good as the Bulls coach Doug Collins. It's not that Nelson's record is not good, it is really that the judges are a little fatigued. Throughout the 80s, he has won 3 best coach.

The announcement of the major awards, there are joys and disappointments. For Chicago fans, it is definitely joy, but for Warriors fans, it is simply terrible.

Because in the history of the Warriors, the last player to win the MVP was Wilt Chamberlain in the 1959-1960 season, when the Warriors were still called the Philadelphia Warriors.

Since then, the Warriors have not had a player who has won the MVP in the Warriors. Therefore, when they learned that Li Weisi was defeated, they were very emotional, and even more extreme fans lit Jordan's jersey directly at the gate of the league headquarters. Scolding the coalition for shady voting has formed a "beautiful landscape".

A reporter also photographed this "world-famous painting" and published it in the New York Times, causing the whole matter to once again spark a discussion across the entire Mimi.

In this regard, Li Weisi has remained silent, declined all interviews, and did not express any opinions. The same is true for Jordan.

However, this kind of behavior will not last long. Only two days after the announcement of the MVP, the first game of the Warriors' second round of the playoffs will start at the Warriors' home court.

Although the reporters did not block Li Weisi before the game and let Li Weisi accept an interview, however, when Li Weisi appeared on the stage, the fans in the audience shouted collectively: "MVP! MVP!"

Obviously, they are not satisfied with the results of such a selection, and they protested to the alliance in this way.

　Historically, Jordan also became the MVP in this year. Bird and Magician, who had better records, also lost the election. I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let Jordan be elected for the needs of the later plot!
