On April 8, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced a series of awards for this season's regular season.
One of the most eye-catching is the regular season MVP.
didn't make everyone wait too long, and Abdul Salamu, the core of the forward line from the Xinjiang team, won this award.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among fans.
And two key words are given: deserved and nirvana rebirth.
Let's be honest first.
This season, he made 52 appearances for the Xinjiang team, ranking joint first in the entire league.
With an average of 35.0 minutes per game, he ranks 13th in the entire league.
With an average of 19.0 points per game, he ranks 18th in the entire league and 6th among local players.
With an average of 10.2 rebounds per game, he ranks 7th in the entire league and 3rd among local players, second only to Yang Hansen and Wang Zhelin, and also ranks 1st except for the center position.
With an average of 4.4 assists per game, he ranks 26th in the entire league, 12th among homegrown players, and 1st in the excluding defender position.
With an average of 1.0 tackles per game, he ranks 45th in the entire league and 26th among local players.
With an average of 0.6 blocks per game, he ranks 35th in the entire league and 23rd among local players.
When we sorted out the so-called 5 big data, we had a deeper understanding of Abdul Salamu's regular season MVP.
It's really good and comprehensive.
It is fully worthy of the "face" of the entire league.
Let's talk about nirvana rebirth.
Abudu has suffered several major injuries before, and many fans must still remember it vividly.
In particular, anterior cruciate ligament injuries in the knee joint, also known as "ACL" injuries.
As soon as you hear the name, you can know how serious this injury is.
It is no exaggeration to say that many fans and media people at that time believed that Abdul Salamu's entire career was going to end.
Of course, this is a more optimistic view.
However, even relatively optimistic fans feel that they can barely return to the game, and then, after a few more years, it is basically okay.
Who would have thought that a player who has experienced such an injury will not only not sink in the slightest, but will be able to win the MVP of the regular season.
I really can't find another word to describe it except for Nirvana rebirth.
Therefore, after the CBA officially announced this award, those who really know Abdul Salamu, or fans who really like basketball, are very happy.
Because, these people know how difficult it has been for him to come this way.
And, the Chinese men's basketball team really needs such a "benchmark" to tell everyone that it is precisely because of the existence of players like Abdul Salamu that there is still hope for the Chinese men's basketball team.
You can imagine that in last year's World Cup, Asian Games, including the Asian preliminaries at the beginning of the year.
It's still these players who go to the game.
However, when they all have the same fighting spirit and spirit as Abdul Salam, will the final result be much better than what everyone saw later?
The answer should be yes.
Competitive sports are half hard power and half volitional quality.
The reason why the Chinese men's basketball team is so bad now is because there are no two of these things.
Or rather, there are too few players with both.
Therefore, we hope that the Chinese men's basketball team in the future will have more Abudu Salamu.
