One
On April 1, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced the list of candidates for this season's regular season MVP players.
The top 3 are from: Abudu Salamu of the Xinjiang team, Zhao Jiwei of the Liaoning team, and Hu Jinqiu of the Guangsha team.
Seeing this result, many fans were not calm in an instant.
First of all, the selection of MVP is generally based on the principle of "selecting a strong man among the strong teams".
This intuitively reflects the two most important factors.
First, the overall strength of the team must be strong.
To put it bluntly, the regular season record should be relatively good, and this range is generally from first to eighth.
That is, what everyone traditionally thinks of as a playoff team.
After that, it's almost meaningless.
That's why there were some players who had good stats before, but they were ultimately defeated, the team's results were too low, and no matter how good the individual stats were, it didn't help.
Second, the individual's ability should be particularly prominent.
To put it bluntly, it can't be a random player found among the strong teams to be the MVP of the regular season, and it must be the one with the best ability in this team.
In good times, bad times and desperate times, this player can be seen everywhere.
扶大厦之将倾 挽狂澜于既倒。
It has to be a player like that.
Take a seat according to this standard.
Hu Jinqiu and Abdul Salamu are undisputed.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Guangsha team and the Xinjiang team have been able to come to this level this season, which is closely related to their efforts and dedication.
Because, both teams have encountered difficulties of one kind or another before.
For example, the injury problems of other key players.
Characteristics: Zhao Rui on this side, Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao on the Guangsha team.
The absence of such a core player has a very big impact on the team.
For example, the "quality" of foreign players in both teams is not so consistent, and the number of foreign players changed quite frequently this season.
Of course, there are also some foreign players who are more recognized by fans, but are still cut.
However, in any case, neither team has a particularly good and suitable foreign player for the team, which many fans recognize.
However, it is self-evident how important it is to be able to find a good and suitable foreign player for the team.
Looking at so many championships in the past, almost every one of them is inseparable from foreign aid.
Even these foreign aides can be ranked in the CBA's best foreign aid discussion.
Now these two teams are full of injuries to their local cores, and foreign aid is indecisive.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult at home and abroad.
However, it is because of these two that their team has not only not lost its advantage, but has become more competitive.
Such a player, that is simply "tailor-made" for MVP.
So, no matter which of the two of them ends up lifting the MVP trophy, everyone is convinced.
Two
Well, two of the three players are recognized, so the controversy must be in the third player.
That's right, he is Zhao Jiwei from the Liaoning team.
There is no controversy about the selection of the players of the Liaoning team, after all, it is the champion team of the regular season, and all three stages have played extremely stable.
If none of them make the cut, then the other teams don't have to go.
Now everyone's controversy mainly comes from Zhao Jiwei.
Take a look at the season's averages per game.
is inferior to teammate Zhang Zhenlin in terms of average playing time and scoring per game.
Only assists are better than Zhang Zhenlin.
However, basketball itself is a game of score scores, and it must be the largest proportion of this data.
If the weight of other data is raised, then the fairness of the award will be questioned.
Yes, it is not Zhao Jiwei that everyone is questioning, but the "source basis" of this ranking.
Because the game of basketball is ultimately about data, not on the so-called subjective "impressions".
It can't be that Zhao Jiwei seems to be very important to the Liaoning team, so he can be on the list.
Although Zhao Jiwei is very important to the Liaoning team, it is also necessary to identify whether he is the most important one.
After all, there is only one MVP, and it has to be the best one.
It is necessary to distinguish between high and low.
Speaking of which, it is very necessary to ask the official of the league:
Wouldn't it be possible to just select the top-ranked teams and list the players with the best stats in their respective teams?
Why do you have to do the thankless things in a simple and effective way?
