The 2021-22 CBA playoffs have begun, and on the first day, 2 games of 12-in-8 have been won by defending champions Guangdong South China Tigers and super dark horse Shanxi Raptors.
Before the start of the game, the CBA announced the results of the major awards of the regular season, and the most eye-catching MVP winners were-
Hu Jinqiu
The selection rule for this year's MVP is that the top 12 in the cumulative contribution value of the regular season enter the shortlist, and then the media votes, and the person with the highest points is elected.
Hu Jinqiu's cumulative contribution value of 8.99 is far ahead of the league, the second place Shen Zijie is 7.73, Chen Yingjun is 7.71, Sun Minghui is 7.17, and Zhao Jiwei is 7.12.
The CBA invited 150 media representatives to participate in the voting session, and finally received 146 votes, each media representative can choose 3 people, the first place is counted as 5 points, the second place is counted as 3 points, and the third place is counted as 1 point.
Hu Jinqiu finally scored 483 points, of which 75 votes on the first vote exceeded half of all votes; Zhao Jiwei from Liaoning and Shen Zijie from Shenzhen ranked second and third with 244 and 174 points, respectively.
In previous years, the MVP competition was fierce, and there was a lot of controversy after the announcement of the results, this year, Hu Jinqiu's election can be said to be a comprehensive crushing in terms of personal data and voting.
In the 7th season of his career, the 24-year-old Korla teenager reached a new peak, but in fact, this year is not Hu Jinqiu's first competitive MVP.
At that time, he was only 19 years old, and when he was a second-year student in the CBA, he entered the MVP candidate list, and finally ranked Second in the 5-person competition, only slightly inferior to Ding Yanyuhang, who was in the sky at the time; later, he became a regular candidate for MVP.
After many years of hard work, Hu Jinqiu got his wish.

Hu Jinqiu's basketball path is different from the vast majority of people in this world and belongs to the minority.
First of all, he was not born into a sports family, and he was not exposed to basketball since childhood and was carefully crafted.
At the age of 15, he left his hometown, Korla, a county-level city under the Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and went south to Hangzhou to join the Zhejiang Guangsha Lion Club, which really began professional basketball training.
Before, basketball was just Hu Jinqiu's hobby, and he was eager to go to college and change his fate with knowledge.
Moreover, Hu Jinqiu's favorite thing to play after rest is not basketball, but in the Taklamakan Desert, 1 kilometer from home, where he is willful and crazy like a wild child.
As for the southward change in his fate after the age of 15, Hu Jinqiu only wanted to reduce the burden on his family, so he chose the CBA and rejected the famous basketball school in Beijing and the affiliated middle school of Tsinghua University, which was full of excellent students.
At that time, Hu Jinqiu, who lacked basketball foundation, was almost a blank piece of paper, and his basketball level was comparable to that of the 13-year-old players of the lions, and he couldn't even figure out what technical statistics were.
Fortunately, Hu Jinqiu, who insisted on asking questions without understanding, was like a sponge, constantly absorbing, humbly asking for advice again and again, and rapidly improving himself.
The so-called non-sound is already a blockbuster.
After that, Hu Jinqiu soared into the sky, from the main force of the Lions Youth Team to the core of the inner line of the Chinese National Youth Team;
From a fledgling CBA rookie to a second-gradeR MVP who won the vote to overwhelm the big brother Yi Jianlian;
From Lions to national team and All-Star regulars;
……
Now, Hu Jinqiu has become the first Chinese player in the history of the Lions to receive an MVP, and a magical counterattack explains what it is - Tiandao Reward.
Four years ago, Li Chunjiang, who was the head coach of the Lions at the time and single-handedly promoted Hu Jinqiu to the first team and greatly cultivated him, once said this:
"Hu Jinqiu has been engaged in professional basketball for less than 6 years, he himself is very hardworking, basketball talent is also very good, in the league, the national team are the result of his efforts, of course, and the team is also related." Some people may not be able to catch up with Hu Jinqiu for 10 years. ”
Four years later, Li Jiangchun is already the head coach of the Shanghai Sharks, and his words are still in his ears, and Hu Jinqiu, who sleeps at night and always hangs his efforts on his lips, has finally blossomed.
For a long time, the cake king was a label that accompanied Hu Jinqiu around and never abandoned.
But now, he has already completed his metamorphosis.
This season, Hu Jinqiu's shooting rate is as high as 77.8%, the true shooting rate is 75.7%, and the two key indicators on the offensive end are ranked first in the league (with a total of more than 60 shots).
As an inside player, Hu Jinqiu's low-post back-playing efficiency in the 2019-2020 season has ranked third in the league, second only to Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin, who can score 1.03 points per round of backplay (Yi Jianlian 1.21 points, Wang Zhelin 1.04 points); this season, once backplay can get 1.2 points per round.
In addition, Hu Jinqiu's attacks such as mid-shots, fast drops, empty cuts, and secondary attacks have been at the forefront of the league for many years.
Compared with the past, Hu Jinqiu's biggest improvement is the improvement of his offensive ability to hold the ball.
Zhejiang Xiongshi has almost no outstanding small foreign aid in the last 3 seasons, and the offensive organization is almost only Sun Minghui, but Hu Jinqiu's data has not declined, on the contrary, for the first time in his career, he has averaged 20+ per game for 2 consecutive seasons, and the shooting rate this season is 70% + for the first time, and he relies on the superposition of singles technology.
Because of this, Hu Jinqiu's offensive efficiency this season is as high as 146.7, setting a new career high and ranking 1st in the league, and the efficiency value is also 1st in the league.
Back to the defensive end of the center players who naturally picked the beams, Hu Jinqiu, who gained 20KG+ in 7 years, also has a steady performance when protecting the basket and supplementing the defense with the continuous improvement of the confrontation ability:
This season, his defensive efficiency reached 105.5, a career high.
Only compared to his offense, Hu Jinqiu's defensive data this season is not particularly prominent, but he can always stand up when the team needs himself in a hard battle, the most typical case is the first meeting of the season with Zhejiang Jinniu, he once made up for the young center Yu Jiahao, who had a big hat of 2.21 meters , the latter, without suspense, won the best star sharp.
This season, Hu Jinqiu averaged 19.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game against the top 5 teams in the league, shooting 77.0% - just looking at the data, compared with the season average of 21.0 points per game, it is slightly down, rebounds are exactly the same, and the shooting rate is higher.
If it were not for the number of shots in multiple games or the limited playing time (the second game against Shanghai and Guangdong did not exceed 20 minutes, and the Zhejiang Golden Bull and Shanghai had only 7 shots in a single game), Hu Jinqiu's performance would be stronger and stronger, which is also a better embodiment of Hu Jinqiu's ability.
This season, Hu Jinqiu's data is actually not as prominent as last season.
His average points and rebounds have dropped slightly compared to last season after the average number of games and shots per game, but Hu Jinqiu, 24, is worthy of leadership status more than ever in any previous season:
When the team has difficulties, he is obliged;
When his teammates have a better chance, he is willing to give way and work hard.
Before and after the team introduced super foreign player Jalil Okafor, Hu Jinqiu's sacrifice was very obvious and visible to the naked eye:
Okafor averaged 32.6 minutes per game, averaged 12.3 shots per game, and contributed 21.9 points per game to the top of the League's scoring list; Okafor averaged only 28.7 minutes per game after the game, dropped to 10.4 shots, and the average score per game also dropped to 18.2 points, only 11th in the same list.
But compared to Okafor, whose performance is ups and downs, Hu Jinqiu is the team's anchor.
Hu Jinqiu, a double-killed Zhejiang Golden Bull, shot 15 of 17 in total, with 88.2% shooting rate, bombed 32 points and 17 rebounds, and only rested for 2 minutes, but when Daqiu was interviewed after the game, he was full of only -
We
"This ball is a team victory, everyone is not easy, everyone is doing their best to help the team. Everyone fought very well, no matter how backward or how they did not give up. ”
And there is no me who is even half a word; and this has always been the style of Daqiu - 2 years ago, hu Jinqiu broke out, when he was very grateful to his teammates:
"On the pitch I have to give my all to help the team and win the game. Of course, my own play is also inseparable from the help of my teammates, everyone is a team, teammates help each other, encourage each other. ”
In the 3rd season as captain, Hu Jinqiu knows better than ever how to be a captain.
leader
epilogue
For a long time, the top spot of the Zhejiang Lion belonged to Lin Zhijie, the team soul from Taiwan, Baodao, and Hu Jinqiu was very grateful to this big brother who used to sleep with and teach himself a lot, and when Lin Zhijie left the team, Hu Jinqiu said:
"I will continue to work hard, improve myself, take on my responsibilities, pass on your spirit, and wish us all better and better in the future."
Three years later, Hu Jinqiu has taken over the gun left by Lin Zhijie, and after holding the first MVP in team history, Hu Jinqiu will also launch an attack towards a higher goal.
