So far this season, only 29 people have met the 65-game requirement: Lakers James Mei and Clippers Pepperden, and the best team is basically determined
With about 7 games left in the NBA regular season, it can be said that the performance of each team and the strength shown by each player this season have been decided, but in order to increase revenue this season, the league has added an additional condition to the stars, that is, if they do not play 65 games in the regular season, they will not be able to participate in any awards, and missing some awards will prevent the star from getting a super maximum salary contract.
This is not this season, Embiid in order to win the MVP, he chose to play with an injury, the result backfired, he suffered a major injury, and the team fell from third in the East to eighth in the East during this absence, but it is okay now, according to American media reports, Embiid may return in tomorrow's game against the Thunder. However, he can no longer meet the condition of 65 games, and it can be said that for this provision, Embiid has lost his wife and lost his army.
The American media counted the stars who met the 65-game requirement this season, and the total was only 29, and the great honor was likely to be born among these people, so let's take a look at these players, the eastern side are: Jarrett Allen, Tatum, White, DeRozan, Kobe White, Sika, Brother Alphabet, Lillard, Brunson, Banchero, Jaylen Brown, Maxey, a total of 13 people.
Among the 13 people, the Green Army accounts for 3, they are White, Tatum and Brown, this season's Green Army record is the first in the league, Tatum is likely to be selected for a while, after all, the record is here, but in terms of his performance at critical moments, it is useless to hit the MVP. Jaylen Brown's three-shot finish shouldn't be a big problem, after all, he's been doing well this season. After this season, White is facing an early contract extension, and it is estimated that the Green Army will send a contract of hundreds of millions.
Sika left the Raptors for a big contract this season, and if he can be selected to the All-NBA team, it will be more conducive to him getting a super max salary, and he has performed well since joining the Pacers and has a chance to make a three-team appearance. Brunson led the team to maintain the top four positions in the division in the long-term absence of Randle and Anunoby, and he still has a good chance of entering the best second team, DeRozan's team record is only the Eastern Conference play-offs, and it is estimated that he will not be in the best team, but Azan's attendance is high enough, and he has a chance to win a big contract in the offseason.
Koby White is definitely worth the money, and last offseason the Bulls signed him to a three-year, $36 million contract, and the season became the cornerstone. If nothing else, he can be selected to the best team, and the Bucks' ability to play second in the East this season can be said to be completely on his own, he has no chemistry with Lillard, and Lillard may be sent away in the offseason. Banchero and Maxey both played well, but they were too young to miss out on the best team.
On the Western side of the 65-game team are Jokic, Curry, George, Harden, Leonard, James, Edwards, Alexander, Durant, Sabonis, Wembanyama, Jones, Doncic, Fox and Holmgren. Wemban and Holmgren's two rookies have such a high attendance this season, which is indeed good, but Holmgren is estimated to be unable to win the honor, and Wemban's best rookie is a certainty.
Recently, as Arishanda's performance has become worse and worse, now the MVP favorites have become Doncic and Jokic, if Doncic has a chance to lead the team to the top three in the division at the end of the season, then he has a chance to get the MVP, but this is likely to be impossible to do, so Jokic is estimated to be able to win the third MVP trophy of his career, but the best team, all three of them are likely to be selected.
Leonard and George, who used to take turns off, don't play like this in the offseason for a big contract, and now Leonard has won a contract extension, George wants a super maximum salary, and Harden also wants a big contract, so the two have not reached a contract extension with the Clippers, and their attendance rate is so high, it is to put pressure on the management and show the outside world, I am healthy enough, if you want to keep me, you must send a big contract, Leonard has a chance to be selected for the best team.
Bushy has also been relatively healthy in the past few years, and since he and James learned how to protect their bodies, he is unlikely to be selected to the All-Star team, even if he plays well. After all, the Lakers' record is also a play-off team, but James's fame and strength are obvious to all, and he may have a good chance to be selected for the third team, as well as Curry, although the Warriors are only tenth in the West, his performance is no problem, and he has a good chance of being selected for the third team.
It is basically a high probability that Gobert will be selected for the All-Defensive Team and win the All-Defensive Player, and Jarrett Allen, Herbert Jones, and George will also have the opportunity to be selected for the defensive team. Durant and Sabonis are expected to make the best second team, after all, they still played well this season, as for Fox, it is difficult, as the team's first core play is too inconsistent. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these players?
