The CBA regular season is in its 24th round, and the discussion about MVPs is intensifying. Due to the recent clashes on the field, Liaoning star Guo Allen was also affected, and after stepping on Hu Mingxuan's foot in the Liao-Yue second battle, he insisted on appearing, resulting in serious ankle swelling.
In the match against Fujian, Guo Allen chose a truce, and it can be seen that this ankle injury is still to a certain extent, bothering him. In this way, Guo Allen wants to compete for the MVP this season, and he becomes very nervous. Let's take a look at the rules for MVP candidacy this season, there are 3 requirements.
1. The number of regular season matches must reach 26 or more games to participate in the selection;
2. The team has achieved the top 12 results in the regular season;
3. Individual cumulative contributions are worth ranking among the top 12 players.
With The ability of Guo Allen and the strength of the Liaoning men's basketball team, the latter two are completely without suspense, but the original is the simplest first one, for Guo Allen, but it is extremely difficult, at the beginning of the season, for various reasons, can not appear, the schedule has passed most of the time, his number of appearances is only 14 times. According to the schedule of the new season, there are only 38 rounds of the regular season, that is, 15 rounds are left, which means that Guo Allen must attend 12 of them.
It seems that there are still opportunities, in fact, there is a lot of crisis, friends who like to play basketball are clear, ankle sprains are not big, say small is not small, rest, recovery is very fast, plus the professional players' foot bindings are very professional, can reduce the damage to the minimum, but once twisted once, if not dealt with in time, it is easy to develop into habitual twisting. Therefore, in the next game, it is difficult to guarantee that Guo Allen will not be plagued by injuries again.
In addition, it must be mentioned that even if Guo Allen insists on appearing, completing the basic selection requirements of 26 games, if he wants to be successfully elected, he must also defeat a strong opponent, he is Hu Jinqiu of the Guangsha team. According to statistics, the top three in the scoring list of domestic players are Guo Allen (22.5 points), Abdul Salam (22.4 points) and Hu Jinqiu (21.4 points), the gap between the three is not large, of which the Xinjiang men's basketball team where Abdul Salam is located, after Zhou Qi's departure, the overall strength has declined significantly, and it is currently only ranked 13th, competing for MVP, which is a fantasy.
Therefore, the two top favourites for MVP this season are Guo Allen and Hu Jinqiu, who have not had a break this season, and when he is on the floor, the team's plus-minus is as high as +28, while when he is not present, the team's plus-minus is -1.2. Can make a comparison, when Guo Allen was present, the plus-minus value of the Liaoning team was +19.1, and when he was not present, it was +12.6, it is obvious that Hu Jinqiu and Guo Allen's role in the team is not small, but Guangsha does not have Hu Jinqiu, it is difficult to guarantee a good result of 20 wins and 3 losses, from the effect point of view, Hu Jinqiu's victory contribution value is undoubtedly greater.
In short, about the competition for Guo Allen's MVP, the prospects are not optimistic, if purely from the perspective of a Liaoning fan, I personally feel that Guo Allen does not have to force a comeback for this uncertain honor, it is better to rest well and prepare for the playoffs in advance, after all, this year's Liaoning team's lineup depth and run-in are good, the probability of winning the championship is not small, and winning the championship and FMVP is much more valuable than the regular season MVP.
