On March 29, the awards of this season's CBA regular season were announced, Hu Jinqiu won the MVP award for the first time in his career, Shen Zijie became the "best defensive player", and Wang Bo lifted the "Chenghai Cup", which symbolized the "best coach award".
Regular Season MVP: Hu Jinqiu
List of candidates
Hu Jinqiu, Shen Zijie, Chen Yingjun, Sun Minghui, Zhao Jiwei, Zhao Yanhao, Fan Ziming, Wu Qian, Zhu Xuhang, Zhu Junlong, Gu Quan, Yu Jiahao
Reasons for election
This season, Hu Jinqiu averaged 21 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, including the third highest score among local players, and his shooting rate of 73.1% ranked first among all players. In addition, as a model of the "labor model" of the whole league, his role in the Guangsha men's basketball team is even more difficult to replace, and he is the absolute leader of the team.
More importantly, Hu Jinqiu's play is as stable as ever, there are few ups and downs, and his Guangsha men's basketball team is also ranked second in the regular season, and the playoffs will surely become a strong contender for the championship. It is worth mentioning that Hu Jinqiu broke the monopoly of the Guangdong men's basketball team and became the only player in the South District All-Star starting lineup this season who is not a Guangdong men's basketball team.
Hu Jinqiu's contribution value this season is as high as 8.99, ranking first among all candidates, not only overpowering teammates Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao, among other candidates, in terms of comprehensiveness and stability, it is difficult for anyone to compare with Hu Jinqiu. Zhao Jiwei's Liaoning men's basketball team is at the top of the regular season list, and his performance is also excellent, but the presence of Guo Allen has reduced the weight of Zhao Jiwei's role in the team. Others, such as Wu Qian, Shen Zijie, Chen Yingjun, etc., are not stronger than Hu Jinqiu's personal performance, and the results of their teams are even worse than those of the Guangsha men's basketball team. Therefore, if Hu Jinqiu is elected as the regular season MVP for the first time in his career, it is deserved.
Best Foreign Aid: Felder
Feld, Fogg, Franklin, Booker, Mason
It is undeniable that players such as Fogg and Franklin are very good foreign aides, and Fergus not only has good personal attacking power, but also is willing to defend, which is very rare in foreign aid. Franklin is an absolute contributor to the Shanghai men's basketball team squeezing into the top three this season, and his organizational ability is difficult to replace in the team. However, The play of Fogg, Franklin, and Booker and Mason is not particularly stable, and some foreign players such as Franklin have even had larger ups and downs in some games, and in terms of contribution value, they are not as good as Felder, who has a contribution value of 10.47.
This season, Felder and the Shanxi men's basketball team are perfectly integrated, he not only averaged the league's second-place 24.7 points per game, but also delivered the league's first 10 assists, and he is also the only player in the league to average double assists per game. In addition, Felder helped the Shanxi men's basketball team to get the 9th place to reach the playoffs, becoming a dark horse this season, while the Shanxi men's basketball team only ranked 15th last season, and he was also the best among the 5 candidates in terms of the improvement brought to the team.
According to the rules, to participate in the selection of the best team in the regular season this season, it is necessary to play more than 26 battles and the team's record is in the top 12, so Gao Deng of the Fujian men's basketball team and Dominic Jones of the Jilin men's basketball team did not have the opportunity to participate in the selection.
Best Defensive Player: Shen Zijie
Since Li Muhao switched to the Beijing men's basketball team, Shen Zijie has not let go of becoming the defensive gate of the Shenzhen men's basketball team, and this season he has averaged 2.5 blocks per game, becoming the league's "block king". In addition, Shen Zijie averaged 9 rebounds per game, also ranked in the top four of the league, with him sitting on the inside line, quite a husband and wife. Shen Zijie ranked second in the league with a shooting percentage of 70.4% this season, second only to Hu Jinqiu.
Shenzhen men's basketball team is a famous "three-point team" in the league, but because of the existence of Shen Zijie, shooters can shoot with confidence, so the role of "Shenzhen Big Bird" in the team is self-evident, how far the Shenzhen men's basketball team can go in the playoffs this season depends on Shen Zijie's play. Fortunately, Salinger's return has somewhat eased some of Shen Zijie's burden, who is no longer as tired as he used to be.
Best Star Sharp Player: Yu Jiahao
Yu Jiahao, Lin Tingqian, Li Tianrong, Zhang Zhenlin, Liao Sanning, Zhu Mingzhen, Zhang Dianliang, Yu Zechen, Zhu Songwei, Zhang Ning, Ou Junxuan, Zhao Baiqing
Judging from his performance throughout the season, Yu Jiahao is amazing, his contribution value reached 5.63, the highest of all candidates. After the precipitation of the two stages of the regular season, Yu Jiahao made significant progress in the third stage, he greatly made up for the long-term internal shortcomings of the Zhejiang men's basketball team, it can be said that how much role Yu Jiahao can play in the end will determine whether the Zhejiang men's basketball team can occupy an advantage in the playoffs and Liaoyue.
Among the other candidates, Li Tianrong and Liao Sanning, two first-year rookies, have had outstanding performances, but Li Tianrong is more likely to play the role of the sixth person on the team, and Liao Sanning did not help the North Control men's basketball team to break into the playoffs. Zhang Zhenlin, Zhu Songwei, Zhang Ning, Zhu Mingzhen and other second-year newcomers have formed a certain challenge to Yu Jiahao, they are better in experience, and their role in the team is crucial, but second-year newcomers such as Zhang Zhenlin are not suitable to participate in the "Best Star Sharp" award according to the convention. Therefore, Yu Jiahao's becoming the "best star sharp" is also a recognition of his potential and ability.
Most improved player: Abdul Salam
Abdul Shalamu, Fan Ziming, Xing Zhiqiang, Ge Zhaobao, Zhu Junlong, Zou Yuchen, Li Bairun, Li Jianghuai, Zhao Tianyi, Zhang Ning, Ning Hongyu, Zhao Jiaren
During last season, Abdul Salam made a comeback, but his performance was not satisfactory, averaging only 7.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, however, this season," "Xinjiang Mitsui" completely returned to the throne, not only averaging 23 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, but also scoring 43 points and 50 points in the season! Twice set a new single-game scoring record, and he is the homegrown leading scorer this season.
More importantly, in the case of Zhou Qi's departure, Abdul Salam took up the banner of leadership, in addition to leading by example, but also constantly urging young players to grow, after experiencing a major injury, he became more mature and stable, and this season really achieved "the return of the king"! In terms of the degree of progress and role in the team, Abdul Salam is the leader among all the candidates, and it is expected that he can continue to play for the Chinese men's basketball team in the future. It is worth mentioning that this is the second time that Abdul Salam has won the "Most Progressive Award" in his career.
Best Sixth Man: Ren Junfei
In such a dynasty team as the Guangdong men's basketball team, Ren Junfei has always been very low-key, but it is indispensable, he can be inside and outside, but three can be four, and has played a vital role in Du Feng's tactical system. Especially in the small ball tactics, Ren Junfei's speed and interspersing is a nightmare for the opponent, swinging to the third position, and his height makes the opponent helpless.
This season, Ren Junfei has played 18 off the bench in 33 games, averaging 11.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 26.2 minutes per game this season. When the team is in a crisis, it is often Ren Junfei who stands up to break the deadlock, and whether the Guangdong men's basketball team can successfully defend the title this year, the team bench lineup led by Erfei will become the killer of victory.
Best Coach: Wang Bo
Wang Bo, Liu Weiwei, Du Feng, Qiu Biao
Because Yang Ming and Li Chunjiang had been punished in the season, and then lost the qualification to compete for the best coach, in addition, Zhang Degui, who led the Tianjin men's basketball team to the playoffs this season, failed to rank among the top six because of the results of coaching the team, and according to the rules, he did not qualify for the selection of the best coach.
Among the 4 candidates, Wang Bo has the greatest advantage. This season is Wang Bo's first full season in charge of the Guangsha men's basketball team, and last season he turned the tide and led the team to stop the decline after Li Chunjiang handed over the coaching seal. This season, Wang Bo continued to lead the Guangsha men's basketball team to always be at the forefront of the league, and on the basis of the "troika" of Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao, he reused young players such as Zhu Junlong, Licensing, and the Zhao brothers, enhancing the team's bench depth.
Especially after Okafor joined, Wang Bo found the instruction manual for Okafor and Hu Jinqiu Twin Towers, which made the Guangsha men's basketball team a strong contender for the championship this season. In terms of the team's record, Wang Bo ranked second in the league with 31 wins and 7 losses, with a win rate of 81.6%, pressing the teams coached by other candidates, and the Guangsha men's basketball team has played very steadily this season, so it is not surprising that the "Chenghai Cup" was awarded to Wang Bo.
