235. Regular season awards announced, COY tied for the first in history, and the regular season MVP who upset the counterattack
With the Heat losing again in the second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Wizards have already held the advantage 2:0 and seemingly have unlimited possibilities for advancement.
The Big Three were also in a sluggish state in the interview. Once compared with the Wizards, the Heat undoubtedly once again became the hot topic in the media.
After all, when the Big Three announced their reunion two years ago, the entire league trembled because of this news, and it turned out to be ineffective in the first season of the Big Three's joint efforts.
This season, the Heat have been given hope by countless media, and they believe it is the year when the Heat have the most hope to win the championship. As a result, the Heat fell behind 0:2 in the semi-finals, and the young dark horse Wizards were still behind.
The facts one after another made the fans stunned, because now the fans can no longer tell whether the Heat is too weak or the Wizards are too strong.
Otherwise, this script is completely different from what people imagine...
…………
In the third game of the series, the Heat brought the game back to Miami.
After returning to home court, the Heat became obviously focused, because once they lost again in this game, the Heat could really say goodbye in advance.
In this game, the Heat still played small balls. Although they lost in the last game, the Heat once led the way, so Spoo still chose to persist in this crucial game.
On the other hand, although the Wizards had been dealing with the Heat in the first three quarters, the Wizards were facing collapse in the last quarter and were seized by the Heat to launch a wave of offensives to completely lock in the victory.
At the end of the game, the Heat, who returned to home, successfully defended the victory, rewriting the total score of the series to 1:2, which also retains suspense for this round of series.
…………………
On May 8, with the three semi-finals over the past three games, the regular season honors for the 11-12 seasons were also released.
The most suspenseless one is naturally the best coach. Last season, the Wizards only scored 23 wins and 59 losses. This season, under the leadership of head coach Yang Fan, the Wizards have scored 47 wins and 19 losses in the shrinking season.
With nearly 20 games less than the season, Yang Fan still led the team to improve by a total of 24 wins.
Therefore, the award for the best coach this year is definitely Yang Fan, and this award also made Yang Fan win the Best Coach for the third time in his career.
After making Yang Fan the third coach to win COY three times after Old Nelson and "God-calling" Riley.
It is worth mentioning that the most best coaches in NBA history are Old Nelson and Riley. Currently, one Yang Fan is added to this list, and the three of them are temporarily ranked first.
But if nothing unexpected happens, with Yang Fan's current age, it's only a matter of time before Yang Fan surpasses Riley and Old Nelson.
In a sense, Yang Fan is the only one who is inferior to the first coach in history. As long as Yang Fan can lead the team to win more championships in the next step, the title of the first coach in history is not impossible to change hands.
In addition, the Wizards also gained a lot this year, because a total of three players in the team were selected for the Best Team.
Among them, Aldridge is the first team in the best team, Yao Ming is the second team, and Wall is the third team.
As for the best rookie, although he was won by the Cavaliers No. 1 pick Irving, Thompson and Vucevic were selected for the first rookie team, while Thomas Jr. was selected for the second rookie team.
It is worth mentioning that Vucevic ranks second in the Best Rookie List and Thompson ranked third. The gap between the two and Irving is not very big.
However, Irving is even better in terms of data, and his style of play is adorable, so Vucevic can only be ranked second.
But from the perspective of the entire career, Vucevic will definitely be more successful than Irving. After all, Vucevic has helped the team start to win the championship, and Irving is still leading the team to win the No. 1 pick.
In terms of the best defensive lineup, the Wizards also gained a lot. Bathir was undisputedly selected for the best defensive first team, while Paul George was selected for the second team.
Three people were selected for the best team and two were selected for the best defensive team. All these situations show the Wizards' comprehensiveness.
Especially Battier, many of his contributions are not reflected in data. Battier averaged 6.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game this season, which is the lowest average score among all selected best defensive teams.
But Battier's defensive efficiency on the field is as high as 26.6, second only to Tyson Chandler and Tony Allen, and even more efficient than Howard.
If nothing unexpected happens, the best defensive player this year will definitely be among Tyson Chandler and Tony Allen. After all, Howard has been elected DPOY for three consecutive years, so it should be reasonable to change someone else.
This is true. The best defensive player this year was eventually won by Tyson Chandler.
Because the defensive changes that Chandler brought to the Knicks are definitely visible to the naked eye, although there are some objections to Chandler being elected, overall it is still convincing.
In terms of the best sixth man, JR Smith was elected without any suspense with averaging 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game. No one can compete with JR Smith in this award.
Even Crawford, who can contribute nearly 15 points per game, had to stand back and make more room for JR Smith to receive awards.
The fastest-progress player award was also won by Paul George without any suspense.
Last season, George could only contribute 7.8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, while George has grown to an all-around warrior who averaged 16.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
Finally, in the highly anticipated regular season MVP competition, Aldridge came from behind and surpassed LeBron James and Durant to win the regular season MVP in the next 11-12 seasons.
It can be said that when the regular season MVP was announced, even Yang Fan himself felt unbelievable.
Because Yang Fan thought that Aldridge had a high chance of being selected for the best team, but Yang Fan never expected that Aldridge would counterattack James and others and won the regular season MVP.
However, Yang Fan finally felt relieved after thinking about it carefully. This season, the Thunder played the third record in the league behind the Spurs and the Bulls.
However, there is no player in the entire Spurs who averages 20 points per game, so the regular season MVP is definitely not in the Spurs.
As for Ross, he only played 32 games in total due to injury, so the regular season MVP also missed him.
In the end, the regular season MVP had to be selected among James, Durant and Aldridge.
Compared with Durant and James, Aldridge not only has the team's record advantage, but also has the popularity advantage.
But his popularity does not come from himself, but from Yao Ming and head coach Yang Fan.
The most important thing is that Aldridge has never won the regular season MVP in his career, while James and Durant have already won many times.
In addition, Aldridge's performance in the regular season was also excellent, not only helping the Wizards become the biggest dark horse this season, but also having a very terrifying offensive efficiency.
In the end, Adric was elected as the regular season MVP with averaging 24.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals.
