127. Regular season honors released
May 8.
Although the news that the Thunder lost to the Mavericks once again attracted a lot of attention, the most eye-catching thing on this day was that the league released various honor lists for the regular season of the 2008-09 season.
Among them, the regular season MVP was no surprise that LeBron James, who was led to a team with 66 wins and 16 losses.
Although before the MVP was announced, many fans supported Kobe or Wade who should win the MVP this season.
But if we follow the results, James led the Cavaliers to the league's first record this season, and at the same time, James also contributed 28.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.
With an average of 28.4 points per game, it is second only to Wade and Durant this season, ranking third in the league.
So for this regular season MVP, James can definitely deserve it.
However, with the announcement of this award, Kobe and Wade's fans were destined to be sad on this day, and then turn on the computer and spray it on a few words.
As for the awards for Best Defensive Player and Best Coach this season, there is no suspense, including Howard of the Magic and Mike Brown of the Cavaliers.
For the latter, Mike Brown led the Cavaliers to the top record in the league, so there is no objection to this award for Best Coach.
For "Warcraft" Waldor, the award for Best Defensive Player is also not as good as that.
Because this season, Howard not only built the defensive system of the entire Magic team with his own strength, but also ranked first in the league in terms of defensive efficiency.
So although many fans felt dissatisfied with the announcement of these three awards, they were generally expected.
However, after this, the announcement of this year's Best Sixth Person Award has caused a lot of discussion online.
In fact, there are quite a few players who have performed well on the league bench this season, even except for some players who have many starters and missed the sixth-man selection.
There are also many outstanding players among the remaining players, including JR Smith, Odom and Jeff Green, the three of them, who are the best in the league.
But in the end, after voting, Jeff Green of the Thunder defeated Odom and JR Smith and was elected the sixth man of the 2008-09 season.
Although the Thunder faced losses in the two games with the Mavericks, the announcement of this award still made the fans of Oxford City feel excited.
After all, no matter how much fans recognize a player, this can only be recognized with private opinions.
However, this kind of award was finally announced by the league through voting and numerous selections, and the entire award is undoubtedly very valuable.
Even if this is just an award for the best sixth man, it can definitely be regarded as a recognition for this Thunder team, which looks like a full potential value.
This season, Jeff Green played in a total of 79 games in the regular season. In his 28.7 minutes per game, he can contribute excellent data of 15.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals.
With the unexpected emergence of the Thunder this season, Yang Fan did not feel too much surprise for Jeff Green to win this data.
In terms of the best rookie, the competition for the best rookie this season is a bit fierce.
Whether it is Derek Rose of the Bulls, OJ Mayo of the Grizzlies, or Westbrook of the Thunder, these three people have the strength to compete for the best rookie.
However, the league finally awarded the Best Rookie Award to Derek Ross. After all, compared to Westbrook, Ross led the Bulls into the Eastern Conference playoffs this season.
While the overall strength of the Bulls and the Thunder is huge, and there is not much difference in the data between Westbrook and Ross, the league still awarded this award to Ross.
Even though this decision made local fans of Oxford feel dissatisfied, it is obviously a relatively normal thing for most neutral fans.
In addition, the Thunder also gained a lot in the Best Team this year, with Kevin Durant entering the Second Team of the Best Team, and Antoine Jamison entering the Third Team of the Best Team.
As for why Durant, who averaged 29.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game this season, failed to make the first team.
That's really because this year's Best Team is simply a fight between gods. The two players on the front line in the Best Team are LeBron James who won the regular season MVP, and Nowitzki of the Mavericks.
Among them, Nowitzki can contribute 26.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists this season, and is even better than Durant in terms of offensive efficiency.
So it is difficult for Durant to squeeze out any one of them. However, being selected for the second team this year is already a breakthrough in Durant's career.
In particular, Durant's average score per game this season is second only to Wade's 30.3 points, ranking second in the league, which further proves that Durant has the potential to become a top scorer in the league!!
As for Antoine Jamison being selected for the third team this season, he squeezed out Gasol, who was supposed to enter the third team.
Gasol is not unfair at this point. After all, Jamison averaged 32.9 minutes per game this season, he could efficiently contribute 19.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists.
Among them, the shooting percentage outside the three-point line was as high as 40.7%, and the efficiency value on the field was 28.4 that was comparable to that of second-team players.
Therefore, for Jamison being selected into the third team of the best team, in addition to the Thunder's excellent record this season, this is also an honor for Jamison to fight with his personal strength.
This time, Jamison was selected for the best team in his career. I'm afraid this veteran who has been selected for the All-Star many times but has never been selected for the best team.
Before joining the Thunder, Jamison must have never expected that he would be able to complete a breakthrough in his career in the new season.
I have to say that even Yang Fan did not expect this.
It can only be said that Jamison's playing style with this Thunder team is too consistent, and his abilities are also too stable.
As for the best defensive team this year, Yang Fan is too lazy to see it, because Yang Fan knows better than anyone else that it is absolutely impossible for anyone from the Thunder to be selected for the best defensive team this season.
So it was useless to watch it, and in the end, Yang Fan simply chose not to watch it.
In the end, Yang Fan became interested in the league's best rookie lineup, because this is his strength!!
In addition to the rookies who were traded by the Thunder in the middle of the season, Westbrook and Ibaka were selected for the first-team All-Rookie Team without any suspense.
Jordan, who can only play for 21.2 minutes per game, was also selected for the second team of the All-A-Series team.
It is worth mentioning that Batum and Dragic, who were traded in the middle of the season, were also selected for the rookie second team respectively.
This situation means that all the five players Yang Fan selected at last year's draft were selected for the Best Rookie Team!!
I have to say that this vision is really a bit pissy, and there are even many teams that are not good at playing badly. I can't help but make a good deal with the Thunder.
Because facts have proved that the product of Thunder must be a high-quality product!!
Trading a rookie with the Thunder is definitely a big profit!!
Chapter completed!
