Win CBA regular season MVP again 4 years later This time Wang Zhelin is not controversial

Four years later, he held the "God of War Cup" again, and there was no controversy around Wang Zhelin.

Compared with the thrilling victory in the CBA regular season MVP selection four years ago, the king has a clear advantage this time. In the end, he was crowned the 2022-23 CBA regular season MVP with a total score of 415 points, 91 points ahead of the second place, and took two "God of War Cups" into his arms in four years. Compared with the last time full of controversy, the king is well deserved this time.

Four years ago was full of controversy

Four years ago in the 2018-19 season, Wang Zhelin was elected CBA regular season MVP for the first time in his career, becoming the first winner of the "God of War Cup". Unexpectedly, what awaited him was one question after another.

It is not surprising that doubts are frequently sounded. Because just before the voting results were announced, Wang Zhelin was not the first favorite of the MVP, Liaoning team defender and Wang Zhelin's good brother Guo Allen was.

That season, Guo averaged 23.2 points and 5.8 assists per game, leading Liaoning to a 38-8 finish second place in the regular season. Wang Zhelin personally performed better, averaging 24.6 points and 13.7 rebounds per game, both of which were the first in the local area, and scored second place Guo Allen. But Wang Zhelin's team record is significantly worse than Guo's Allen, and although Fujian returned to the playoffs after seven years, they finished seventh in the regular season with 27-19 losses.

The personal data is not much different, but Allen Guo's team record is significantly better. Coupled with Liaoning's home-and-away double defeat of Fujian in the regular season, how to look, Guo Allen is more likely to win the regular season MVP for the first time.

But unlike the general expectations, the final MVP voting session, the leader at the beginning was Wang Zhelin, and he took a lead of more than 40 votes early. Although he was later tied by Allen Guo, Wang Zhelin led again and eventually beat Allen Guo (329 points) with a total score of 353 points, winning the regular season MVP for the first time.

After the selection, controversy and doubts arose, and some insiders revealed that Allen Guo's attitude towards the media was not as gentle as Wang Zhelin, which was one of the reasons why he was inferior to Wang Zhelin. At the same time, the professionalism of the media participating in the voting has also been questioned by the outside world. Even Alan Guo's teammate Gao Shiyan complained about Allen Guo later. "First win in the playoffs! Keep up the good work. Who is the MVP? Who deserves it? When the Liaoning team won the Fujian team in the first game of 8 to 4, Gao Shiyan, who still plays for the Liaoning team, wrote on social media.

This social media is also a stone to stir up a thousand waves. Wang Zhelin first liked it, and then responded to the controversy by telling a story. "A family has two sons, the eldest and the second, they are brothers with good feelings, one day the father died suddenly, made a will, left the inheritance to the second eldest child, the second can only accept helplessly, he is very grateful to the eldest brother for many years of care, the second eldest feels that the father left the inheritance to himself may have his own ideas, the eldest also accepted it, but the eldest wife has been making trouble, chattering, and the family is not peaceful. ”

Allen Guo comforted Wang Zhelin on the side: "Brother, a lifetime of feelings, no one can affect it, there is no peace, think about what you want to eat after the fight." On the one hand, after the Fujian fans scolded Gao Shiyan, he supported Xiao Gao: "My brother Gao Shiyan was scolded by the fans because of me so ugly, I sound very uncomfortable, you might as well scold me, I don't care about all this I have experienced, but my brother is innocent, just come from (rush) me in the future, I am more experienced, thank you." ”

Although the two protagonists no longer argue about this matter, as Guo Allen led the Liaoning team to sweep Wang Zhelin's Fujian team 8-4 to advance, the controversy over Wang Zhelin forcing Guo Allen to be elected regular season MVP did not end.

Four years later, it's well deserved

Four years later, in the 2022-23 season, Wang Zhelin won the CBA regular season MVP for the second time in his career, becoming the first player to own two "God of War Cups". This time, Wang Zhelin deserved to win.

Like four years ago, Wang Zhelin was crowned the local scoring and rebounding king again this season, averaging a double-double of 21.8 points and 11.7 rebounds per game, and was the only local player to average 20+ games (Hu Jinqiu did not play up to the standard). In the regular season finale, he slammed 61 points and 14 rebounds, shattering the suspense of the regular season MVP overnight and capturing the recognition of more media people who participated in the vote.

Several other candidates either performed average or played against Shanghai (5th).

For example, players from the top four teams in the regular season generally play averagely. Leading star Wu Qian, the leader of Zhejiang, averaged 17.2 points and 5.9 assists per game, but shot just 36.5 percent, almost the worst in the past four years, and his performance has been up and down throughout the season. Zhejiang's Liu Zeyi (15.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game), Lu Wenbo (10.2 points per game) and Yu Jiahao (10.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game) also have no advantage in their personal data.

And Shenzhen's He Xining averaged 14.8 points per game, Liaoning's Zhao Jiwei (11.4 points and 8.3 assists per game), Zhang Zhenlin (15.7 points per game), Guangdong's Xu Jie (11.8 points and 5.5 assists per game), these players in the top four teams generally do not have strong confidence.

Under this circumstance, this season's CBA regular season MVP selection also contributed to Wang Zhelin's far ahead, and this MVP selection was not controversial. In the end, Wang Zhelin finally scored 415 points, including 61 votes for the first vote (5 points), 30 votes for the second vote (3 points), and 20 votes for the third vote (1 point). Second-ranked Zhao Jiwei and Wu Qian scored 324 and 194 points, respectively. Four years later, Wang Zhelin can also deservedly hold the God of War Cup.

epilogue

After winning his first regular-season MVP four years ago, Wang Zhelin said: "I know the weight of this trophy and it is a new beginning for me. ”

Four years later, he won the regular season MVP, Wang Zhelin still knows the weight of the God of War Cup, and four years ago said that he would look at Yi Jianlian and Guo Allen to compete for the championship and work hard, and it will still be in this direction now and in the future.
