In this year's playoffs, Wu Qian and Abdusala did not perform very well, but they are the regular season MVPs of the CBA! As the saying goes, the Finals MVP may have parallel imports, but the regular season MVPs have absolutely no parallel imports! Wu Qian and Abdul Salamu, under the calculation method of CBA's strange rules, are they the two worst regular season MVPs in CBA history?
Since the 1995-1996 season, the CBA has set up regular season MVPs. Hu Weidong, Gong Xiaobin, Sun Jun, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Liu Yudong, Sun Jun, Tang Zhengdong, Zhu Fangyu, Batel, Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang, Wang Zhelin, Hu Jinqiu, Abdusalam. Yi Jianlian won the regular season MVP 5 times, Tang Zhengdong 3 times, Battle 3 times, Hu Weidong, Sun Jun, Zhu Fangyu, Ding Yanyuhang, Wang Zhelin 2 times. It turns out that the CBA regular season MVP does not have the current set of calculation formulas, that is, depending on personal data and team performance, players must at least average 20+ per game, and the team's record cannot be bad.
Let's take a look at Wu Qian and Abdul Salamu's MVP seasons. In the 20-21 season, Wu Qian averaged 19 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game, with a shooting rate of only 38% and a three-point shooting rate of only 34%. This season, Abdul Salamu averaged 19 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, shooting 50.6% from the field and 27.2% from three-point range. Let's take a look at the data of other players when they won the MVP, Ding Yanyuhang averaged 25+ per game for two consecutive seasons when he won it, and 27+ per game in those seasons when he won it. When Wang Zhelin won the MVP in the Fujian team at that time, he averaged 25+14 per game. And the current MVP does not average 20+ per game.
In this year's playoffs, Wu Qian averaged only 12.2 points per game, shooting as low as 32% from the field and 28% from three-point range. In the semifinals against the Xinjiang team, in 4 games, Wu Qian's shooting rate was less than 30%, and the scores in the two games were only in single digits, 5 points in 1 of 7 in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and 9 points in 3 of 9 in the last battle of life and death.
Abdul Salamu's statistics have also dropped sharply in the playoffs, playing an average of 39 minutes per game, only 12.6 points, but he can grab 12.2 rebounds, two statistics are more spicy, 28% three-point shooting, 44% free throw shooting rate, and the regular season MVP only 44% free throw shooting rate, do you dare to think? Amateur players all shot more than 44 percent from the free-throw line. In the first game of the finals, Abdul Salamu was 2 of 8, scored 5 points, and did not score an empty basket.
Since the CBA has a variety of calculation rules and formulas, many awards are incomprehensible and full of controversy.
