On March 24, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced the list of candidates for the major awards of the regular season, and in the most important regular season Most Valuable Player (MVP) candidate list, Hu Jinqiu, Shen Zijie, Chen Yingjun, Sun Minghui, Zhao Jiwei, Zhao Yanhao, Fan Ziming, Wu Qian, Zhu Xuhang, Zhu Junlong, Gu Quan, Yu Jiahao and other 12 players were selected.
After the shortlist was released, the famous basketball commentator Su Qun also gave his views on this selection on personal social media, Su Qun believes that the CBA official selection has made some progress, and he will vote for Hu Jinqiu.
"This year's CBA MVP selection, which no longer limits the number of candidates per team, is a big improvement and deserves encouragement. But I'm not in favor of giving MVP candidates (including other awards) numerical limits, no formula is perfect, basketball is not mathematics after all, and once there is an embarrassing situation last year, it will only cocoon itself. This year I will vote for Hu Jinqiu. Su Qun wrote on his personal social media.
Hu Jinqiu can average 21 points and 7.6 rebounds per game this season, and his shooting percentage is as high as 73.1%, ranking first in the league. Guangsha is also ranked No. 2 in the regular season, so if he wins the regular season MVP, it is also deserved.
This season, the CBA League has indeed made some progress in the selection rules, no longer requiring each team to choose only 1 candidate, but also allowing Guangsha team, Zhejiang team, Shenzhen team have a number of players selected. However, even so, some of the candidates in this list, although they are very good role players, are still doubtful to be selected as MVP candidates.
Su Qun's proposal that he should not set a numerical value to limit the candidates has also been recognized by many fans. After all, in addition to the MVP, there are also some awards that are also controversial. However, the CBA selection has been improving year by year, and it is also constantly listening to the voices of the outside world to improve and modify the rules, and fans should also give some patience and understanding.
