On April 8, Beijing time, the CBA announced the individual awards of the season, Li Hongquan was elected as the most improved player, and Wu Qian was elected as the best sixth man for two consecutive seasons.
Li Hongquan is a young player of the Shanghai team, who played an average of 15.2 minutes per game last season and contributed 4.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists, and to this season he started 31 games in 45 games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game and contributed 11 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2 assists. As for many questions about why it is not Qilin, this most improved award compares to how much his best season performance has improved, Qi Lin has indeed improved a lot compared to the previous season, but there are not many fluctuations with the previous strongest season data, so Qi Lin has not competed with Li Hongquan.
As for Wu's best sixth man, there is no dispute, he has played 26 of his 50 games this season as a substitute, and he can still produce consistent output. Averaged 31.3 minutes per game and contributed 15.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.7 steals, which is not a performance that ordinary bench players can play, although he has been in the league for 12 years, but Wu Qian is not arrogant and willing to be a rotating role, this mind and the spirit of dedication to the team are worth learning from the league!
Objectively speaking, there are indeed many different voices in this year's CBA selections, almost every position is controversial, and fans have also given their expected candidates for different awards, but the league has its own selection methods and rules, coupled with the weight of media voting, most of the time the CBA still takes care of the emotions of fans, and I hope everyone will support the league's award-winning players and cheer for them!
