One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-One. Establishing the Godhead!
Only 4 of the 10 positions in the best rookie team averaged double digits, and only No. 1 draft pick Wiggins averaged 15+ points per game. This can be said to be the worst best team this year.
However, this is also related to the fact that some players are late bloomers, and Jokic will not be able to enter the NBA until his contract with a European team expires this season.
There are also some really watery high-ranking rookies, such as the legendary Australian Kobe Exum, who performed extremely poorly.
There are also injuries, Jabari Parker, Noah Vonleh, TJ Warren... These T1 talents in the draft were written off early in their rookie year, and Sun Ce also has the impression that these players will be very powerful players in the future.
However, this year's three best teams confused Sun Ce, as none of them had the same votes!
Sun Ce first looked at the votes for the best defensive player. Before, he only saw the headline that he won the best defensive player, but did not read the details.
Sun Ce received 41 first-place votes, accounting for 26% of the total votes, and won the 2014-2015 regular season best defensive player. This number of votes is too low!
Leonard, who came in second, received 25.1% of the votes, which was only two first-place votes away from Sun Ce. Anthony Davis, who came in third, received 15% of the votes, Draymond Green, who came in fourth, received 13% of the votes, Thabeet, who came in fifth, received 10% of the votes, Paul George, who came in sixth, received 7% of the votes, Gasol, who came in seventh, received 5% of the votes, Jimmy Butler, who came in eighth, received 6% of the votes, and Tony Allen and Gobert, who came in ninth and tenth, received 2% of the votes...
The difference in votes was too small, and the best defensive player was snatched away by Leonard just a little bit.
By winning both the MVP and the best defensive player in a single season, Sun Ce became the third player in NBA history to win both the MVP and DPOY awards in a single season! The top two are Jordan and Olajuwon!
However, this is not a record, and Sun Ce did not receive any system reward.
But whether or not to receive a reward is not as important as the award itself. The purpose of those rewards and props is to give him, Sun, a greater chance of winning more awards, so he does not feel disappointed.
Seeing Leonard's aggressive appearance, Sun Ce estimated that this was the best chance for him to win the best defensive player in his career. If it were not for the good record, which greatly improved his ability to connect defense and the sensory impact on people, and his improved single defense, this season he might not be able to compete with Leonard, whose single defense is comparable to Ron Artest in the 03-04 season.
However, it is hard to say what will happen in the future, and he, Sun, is still improving!
Sun Ce, who was selected to the first team, first defense, MVP, and DPOY; Paul George, who was selected to the second team, first defense; Klay Thompson, who was selected to the third team because he was over two meters tall and often played as a small forward, Aldridge, who was selected to the third team; Tony Allen, who was selected to the second defense. This year, the Grizzlies team won the two awards of best coach and best manager, and the players also had a great harvest!
When Sun Ce was about to close the webpage to have lunch, he saw a piece of news. He didn't pay attention to it before, but now he noticed it.
"New Rules for Voting for the NBA's Best Team"
Sun Ce clicked on the news link, which was the news on the 1st, the latest voting rules announced by the NBA official before the vote.
The general meaning of the content is: when there are the same votes in a certain position of the best lineup, the best defensive lineup, and the best rookie lineup, the NBA will invite 5 experts, commentators, commentators, hosts, and radio commentators to vote anonymously. The one with the highest vote will get one more point in the total score. If there are multiple players with the same votes, the remaining players will be postponed to the next lineup and continue to be voted by the jury, and so on.
Such a change in voting rules
directly eliminates the situation of the same vote!
Although this approach is unfair to the players with the same votes, for example, if there was such a rule when he was in his second year, he might not be selected for the second defense.
But from a sensory point of view, Sun Ce feels that the rookie lineup is not important, and in terms of the best lineup and the best defensive lineup, such new rules make him feel that the gold content of the award seems to have increased!
…
Seven Grizzlies players appeared in the best lineup and the best defensive lineup, and even the fans didn't find it strange.
The fighter is really good.
When the NBA officially announced the awards, the most discussed was Sun Ce's MVP+DPOY.
In this regard, Sun Ce is on par with Olajuwon and Jordan!
4 MVPs, surpassing the prophet, magic, bird, little emperor, and tying Zhang Liangwan and Russell!
Now the number of MVPs ranked before Sun Ce is only God and Skyhook with 5 MVPs and 6 MVPs!
In addition, Sun Ce has a very scary data. This season, Sun Ce has won 9 awards, including the data king trophy!
All-Star Game players' rings, All-Star MVPs, scoring champions, steals champions, blocks champions, first team, first defense, MVP, best defensive player.
Tie his personal record of winning 9 awards in a single season in the 12-13 season!
That year he won the All-Star player ring, All-Star MVP, first team, first defense, scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocked shots champion, helped the team win the championship, and the Finals MVP.
When Sun Ce won his fourth regular season MVP and now won both the MVP and the Best Defensive Player in a single season, public opinion generally believed that Sun Ce's position in the top ten in NBA history was unshakable.
Not counting monthly awards such as the Monthly Best Trophy and the Best Rookie of the Month Trophy, some media have broken down the season awards, including Best Rookie, Sixth Man, Most Improved Award, and Rookie First Team. Sun Ce In six seasons of his career, he has already won 46 trophies!
Among them, there are 6 hard-core awards such as MVP and Finals MVP! No one can shake the top ten positions in history!
Moreover, Sun Ce is only 25 years old... He hasn't even finished his 6th season yet!
Regarding the fact that there is no best team selection with the same vote this season, the fans feel similar to Sun Ce, although they feel that it is unfair to some people because previous players can win the award with the same vote.
But as for the award itself, fans feel that this should be called "the best". Five players in each category are five, which seems to be much more valuable.
And this kind of feedback from public opinion is what David Stern wants.
This season there is no case of the same vote. Reducing the number of the same honor and increasing its gold content is what David Stern has to do now.
Such rule changes are necessary, just like the expansion of the best lineup back then. If it hadn't been expanded for so many years, David Stern would really want to cancel the third lineup.
The purpose of increasing the number of the same honor back then was actually the same as it is now, both for attention.
At that time, information and communication technology was not so developed. If you want to promote a star who has performed well recently, you have to let him win an award. Otherwise, many fans who don’t even watch the game will not know who the player is. Therefore, awards are added to promote the star. .
But things are different now. You can know who the stars are without watching the game. Now, a group of stars compete for awards instead of relying on awards to promote stars.
On the contrary, if there are too many prizes, fans will think it is cheap!
David Stern is different from Adam Silva. Adam Silva makes money no matter how he makes money. Adam Silva is better at using existing resources to create benefits and is also a very capable league executive, but he He is just good at making use of existing resources. He was able to sign that World Broadcasting Agreement entirely because of the conditions created by David Stern.
David Stern has a very keen sense of how to make the game and the stars themselves more attractive to fans. He knows that the types of awards cannot be reduced. If possible, it is also possible to add more awards, otherwise there will be Insufficient awards.
But for a single award, the reduction should be reduced. Only when more people compete for it will the single award become more valuable!
…
…
The media and fans unanimously believe that Sun Ce is already at the top of the list in terms of historical status. Sun Ce, who has just won 75 games, swept his opponents in the first round, and won four awards including first defense, mvp, and dpoy, is in the limelight for a while. .
In terms of players, the stars of each team saw Sun Ce winning the award. Although they had long known that Sun Ce might accomplish this, many people still had negative emotions, such as some opponents who couldn't stand Sun Ce.
Some people are helpless, and some people are emotional.
Duncan and Kobe, the two old men of the Lakers and Spurs who will start the first series showdown in Los Angeles tonight, thought that when they played against Sun Ce in the past few years when they were in better shape, they were already playing against the strongest player in the new era. , they were full of emotions at the time, but now they find that they have not been able to fight against the real and complete Sun Ce!
Because Sun Ce has made obvious progress in the early and late regular season this season, it may not be a big improvement, after all, it is in the middle of the season, but progress in the middle of the season is already an exaggeration!
This made them even more emotional, and a little frustrated, because they might really not be able to compete with the peak Sun Ce.
Think about Sun Ce, who is 27-29 years old, if he follows the trend of steady progress in the past few years, what will he end up like?
For a competitor like Kobe Bryant, he was extremely eager to meet such an opponent in his prime, an opponent that made him tremble with excitement just thinking about it.
In Kobe's view, when Sun Ce has reached his peak, when his opponent faces Sun Ce at his peak, he may be saying the same thing as Sun Ce once said when he was showing off - he is making an enemy of God!
From another angle, Kobe found it very interesting. He may be fighting against the young god who has not yet become a god but has a high probability of becoming a god!
On the other side, here in Memphis, after the awards were announced, the Warriors players who were preparing for the visiting team learned that 7 Grizzlies were selected for the double team. After Sun Ce won the best defensive player, the pressure became even greater!
