I’m Really Playing Basketball

The game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors is over. The Cavaliers eventually lost and the Raptors finally won. The third place.

As the winner of this game, Raptors head coach D'Antoni wildly praised Chen Xiao's performance after the game.

"Chen is the top player in history. I can sit on the sidelines and watch his game up close. It's really great. He beat us out of our bodies in this game!"

In addition, the head player of the Raptors, Steve Nash, also expressed directly when asked about the MVP issue that has been hotly discussed this season.

"I don't think I'm the MVP. Leading the Raptors to No. 3 in the Eastern Conference is a great achievement, but Chen did better than me. I'm God, I'm not the Most, Chen is better (the best one). "

"I hope you can vote for Chen, he deserves this honor."

This season's regular season competition for the rankings of each team is very fierce.

Except for second place in the Eastern Conference, the other rankings are very competitive.

But if there is anything more competitive than the Eastern Conference rankings, then there is no doubt that the MVP of the NBA regular season is definitely more competitive than the Eastern Conference regular season.

If the Heat, ranked first in the Eastern Conference, finally reaches 70 wins this season, there will be no suspense about the MVP.

But the key is that at the end of the regular season, the Heat's final record was 69 wins and 13 losses, which is a bit interesting.

He averaged 27 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2.5 steals and 1 block per game. He shot 49.5% from the field with a record of 69 wins and 13 losses. This achievement can be used as the MVP of the regular season in any year in NBA history.

But this season, it's really a bit uncertain.

This season, there are many teams in the Eastern Conference with 60 wins.

Except for the Heat, which is No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers, the second team in the Eastern Conference, has a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. Chen Xiao’s statistics this season are 31.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.1 blocks per game. The shooting percentage was 42.5% and the free throw percentage was 74.5%.

This season, Chen Xiao ranks third in the NBA in points per game, 30th in rebounds per game, 7th in assists per game, 10th in steals per game, and ninth in blocks per game.

Chen Xiao's rankings for all five attributes this season are in the top 30, and the rankings for four attributes are included in the top ten.

Let's put it this way, if Chen Xiao was an American, and if this MVP was a one-on-one duel between Wade and Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao would definitely be the best one.

In fact, not only Nash, but also superstars such as Ray Allen, Carter, Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Garnett, etc., all tended to be more inclined to Chen Xiao when asked about the regular season MVP this season.

However, the MVP is not voted by players but by reporters, and Chen Xiao's teammate has a player named LeBron James. He is the darling of reporters and media across the United States, the kind of darling who has never suffered a loss in any selection.

And James' statistics this season are also extremely good.

He averaged 27 points, 7.5 rebounds, 10.6 assists, 2.3 steals and 1 block per game, shooting 48% from the field, 36% from three-pointers, and 78% from free throws.

If you want to say who is the best Cavaliers player this season, Chen Xiao or James, if you ask 100 NBA players, 99 of them will definitely say Chen Xiao.

It can be said that Chen Xiao is still the undisputed leader of the Cavaliers this season, there is no problem with this.

When Xiao Zhan himself was asked about MVP in interviews, he always said directly: "I am not qualified, don't vote for me, Chen is the real MVP."

However, the NBA's MVP voting is the choice of NBA reporters.

This is the most fucked up thing.

And most of them are American journalists.

For many American reporters, the statistics of James and Chen Xiao are evenly divided. Why should they vote for Chen Xiao and not for James?

This doesn’t make sense, does it?

This definitely doesn't make sense.

It is precisely because of this that some time ago ESPN deliberately mobilized some influential journalists in the United States to conduct virtual voting for MVP.

What do you think the final result will be?

James got 47% of the votes, Wade got 32% of the votes, and Chen Xiao only got 11% of the votes!

The remaining 10% was taken by Duncan, Nash, Ray Allen, Carter and others.

Good guy, really good guy!

James is the MVP, and the advantage is huge!

According to NBA players and fans, James is not the boss of the Cavaliers this season. It is blind to see who is the boss of the Cavaliers. However, ESPN mobilized the voting results of major American reporters, which is simply ruining people's opinions.

According to the views of American reporters, the MVP of this season is actually James!

He's not even the MVP of the Cavaliers, so why did he become the MVP of the regular season?

Therefore, after ESPN's voting results came out, the entire NBA was in an uproar.

If James really wins the MVP this season, it will definitely be a scandal for the entire NBA.

Either Chen Xiao or Wade can be accepted.

Wade's stats are not as good as Chen Xiao's, the team's role is not as good as Chen Xiao's, and the improvement rate of leading the team is not as good as Chen Xiao's, but the Heat he leads is the number one in the league, and he deserves it.

As for Chen Xiao, of course it goes without saying.

But James, why?

Therefore, after the MVP voting results of ESPN, which created momentum for Xiao Zhan, came out, even Xiao Zhan himself couldn't stand it anymore, so he said what he said before.

"I'm not qualified, don't vote for me, Chen is the real MVP."

"Please vote for Chen!"

The impact and controversy caused by ESPN's campaign for Xiao Zhan is really too great!

Even NBA officials were alarmed.

There is really no way this will not alarm NBA officials.

Because most of the big American reporters recruited by ESPN are reporters with MVP voting rights.

Although there are more than 100 reporters who can vote for MVP, there is not only one vote for MVP.

But according to the votes of these big reporters found by ESPN, let me ask you, if you do nothing, Chen Xiao, Wade and James are put together, is it possible for Wade and Chen Xiao to win?

Not at all possible!

Chen Xiao performed better than James, but his stats were similar. More importantly, James' stats were also good enough for the MVP, fifth in scoring and second in assists. Of course, such a player must be MVP.

But the problem is that James definitely cannot surpass Chen Xiao and Wade this season, otherwise the NBA MVP will really have no gold content.

Isn’t it a joke that the MVP selects a player whose performance in a season is at most the third best?

Therefore, NBA officials quickly came out and stated: "We will follow the principle of openness and fairness and announce the voting results of each reporter at the appropriate time."

This is actually putting pressure on NBA reporters who are qualified to vote, not to be too willful.

But to be honest, this effect may not be that good.

Some reporters may change, but not necessarily that many.

But for NBA officials, there is only so much they can do publicly.

As for what you can do in private...

Well, no one else knows this either.

The topic of MVP has been talked about a lot, but this is also the reason why the reporters will ask Nash about this topic after the game, and Nash will say this at the same time.

Nash is also canvassing for Chen Xiao.

To be honest, compared to American stars like Kobe and Garnett, Nash, the Canadian star, has more influence in voting.

After all, NBA voting reporters are mainly American and Canadian reporters.

To be honest, even if Nash doesn't play in Canada, Nash's influence is enough.

What's more, Nash is still playing in Canada.

Garnett and Kobe's influence on reporters may be limited to a local state, but Nash, that's a country!

Nash canvassed votes for Chen Xiao so bluntly at the post-game press conference. Chen Xiao got the news from Teacher Zhang.

Because he was in front of the press conference after the game, and the home team Raptors was in the back.

Chen Xiao was quite surprised to hear Teacher Zhang say this.

It seems that Nash felt that he deliberately messed up in the first half this time to let the Raptors go.

So Nash reciprocated.

I have to say that Nash is also an open-minded person.

Of course, he did receive unfair treatment in the MVP selection.

How could those American reporters that ESPN found only allow him to get 11% of the votes?

This is really too little!

So few that it caused public outrage in the NBA.

However, even if it arouses public outrage, not everyone is willing to stand up and support Chen Xiao.

There are very few good and upright young men like Xiao Zhan.

Therefore, he was extremely touched when Xiao Zhan said that.

Stars such as Kobe, Garnett, Ginobili, Peja, Luo Ge, Arenas, Iverson and Nash directly came forward to support Chen Xiao by name. Chen Xiao is of course very grateful.

To be honest, he really wants this MVP. After all, his improvement in strength is related to the honor he has received.

Although the MVP of the regular season may just be a B-level potential card (Chen Xiao guessed), no matter how small it is, it is still meat, not to mention that a B-level potential card is not a small piece of meat.

Of course, if he fails to get it in the end, if Xiao Zhan gets it in the end, Chen Xiao will also applaud Xiao Zhan. After all, Xiao Zhan has been on his side from the beginning to the end. There is such a person who can change his future. How can you be dissatisfied if you completely hand over your teammates to him to protect?

Of course, if Wade was the winner in the end, Chen Xiao would also applaud.

So, don't look at the uproar outside because of his low MVP approval rate, in fact Chen Xiao is unusually calm now.

Others can say whatever they want, but he is not suitable for saying anything.

Even if he is asked, he must say it, Chen Xiao will always say: "LeBron is one of the best players in the NBA. Regardless of whether he is the MVP or not, he is the MVP in my heart."

On April 20, 2005, the Cavaliers played the Suns away game, and the NBA regular season ended. This day is the deadline for voting for all awards in the NBA regular season.

So, when the time came to the early morning of April 21st, Chen Xiao knew that everything had been settled.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who was in the Toronto hotel, received a call from Teacher Zhang.

"Xiao Chen, Mr. David Stern, the president of the NBA League, just called me and Xiao Su. He will secretly select four additional Chinese reporters in the selection of NBA regular season awards. The four additional Chinese reporters will be selected privately. Everyone has the right to vote for the regular season MVP!"

"..."

After receiving Teacher Zhang's excited call, Chen Xiao's heart suddenly palpitated.

MVP!

Could it be that I will be the MVP of this year's regular season? !

Chen Xiao's eyes widened and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak for a moment.

"Xiao Chen? Xiao Chen, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you, Teacher Zhang."

"Thank you for everything. If I want to thank you, it's us and China Basketball who want to thank you. Work hard. Okay, Xiao Chen, have a good rest. I won't disturb you."

After Teacher Zhang hung up the phone, Chen Xiao's face was still changing.

Anyone who is not a fool knows what David Stern meant when he suddenly selected four Chinese journalists to serve as judges.

Obviously, if Chinese reporters are not included, the final voting results will definitely embarrass the NBA.

If the final result is Wade winning the MVP.

Even Nash, Duncan, Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant, Garnett won the MVP, and David Stern did not need to be co-opted.

Because these players were originally the MVPs of their respective teams, they ended up being MVPs.

But James, he is indeed outstanding this season, but he is not even the MVP of the Cavaliers. How can he become the MVP of the NBA?

If James wins the MVP and Chen Xiao does not, it will be a huge scandal in the NBA.

This is really no joke.

NBA MVPs have always been controversial, but never like this.

Therefore, if there is no additional selection, the NBA regular season MVP this time will definitely be Xiao Zhan!

And now, David Stern suddenly selected four additional Chinese reporters on the deadline day. Obviously, this was to promote him, Chen Xiao.

So, am I the MVP of this regular season this season?

Of course Chen Xiao is not sure now, but he may really be stable.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao felt a little sad after being excited, because he knew that his possible MVP was probably obtained by David Stern from Xiao Zhan through improper means.

Although the voting of American journalists does not focus on martial ethics.

The feeling of snatching something from a brother's hand is actually not a good one.

For a moment, Chen Xiao was in a bad mood.

Except for a few people in the world, few people in the world know about David Stern's sudden addition of four Chinese journalists to the judging committee, or who was added to the judging committee in other places.

On the bright side, all regular season games ended on April 20, and the 2004-2005 NBA regular season also ended.

In the East, in addition to the Heat, which leads the league with 69 wins and 13 losses, ranking first, and the Cavaliers, which ranks second with 64 wins and 18 losses.

The third-ranked team is the Raptors, who defeated the Cavaliers in the last game. The Raptors' record is 62 wins and 20 losses.

Judging from the Raptors' record, it can be seen that Nash is among the players who can win the MVP this year.

To be honest, when Carter left, who would have thought that the Raptors would reach their peak after Nash led the team.

Now Nash fans can be said to be the happiest group of fans in the NBA.

The story of his family leading his own team to the top of the NBA is so exciting.

Therefore, this season, Toronto's football market is soaring rapidly.

After all, it takes a whole country.

Therefore, if the MVP is awarded to Nash in the end, David Stern will definitely not select additional judges.

The Magic, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference during the regular season this year, is actually the team with the second-best record, with 65 wins and 17 losses.

It can be said that this season, the Magic are definitely the biggest victims of the NBA's division adjustment.

Last season, the NBA had only four divisions, two in the east and west.

This season, the NBA adjusted its divisions from four to six, and the first team in each division automatically entered the top three.

This made the Magic and the Heat, the two best teams in one state and one district, have to face each other in the second round.

This is definitely harmful to the NBA.

In the history of the NBA, such division ranking rules have caused controversy.

Historically, the Mavericks and the Spurs, the two best teams in the Western Conference in the 0506 season, met in the second round. The only two teams with 60 wins in the entire Western Conference were not in the end. Instead of meeting in the final, they met in the second round.

Therefore, it ended up causing huge controversy in the NBA. Soon, David Stern realized this problem and immediately asked the NBA to change the rules.

From now on, the first place in the division will no longer automatically enter the top three, but will automatically enter the top four.

Then under this rule, the ones crying are Houston Mosaic and Dayao in history.

Historically, in the 07-08 season, according to the record ranking, Mosaic should be fourth, while the Jazz should be sixth, and the fifth should be the Suns. With the situation of the Suns that year, Mosaic met in the playoffs. It is very possible to win if you go to the sun.

But because of the rule that the first place in the division automatically tops the top four, the Jazz are fourth, the Mosaics are fifth, and the Suns are sixth.

Then, Mosaic was sent home by the Jazz.

As the defending champion, the Magic actually let it go when they knew they were going to become a victim this season and could no longer overtake the Heat. Otherwise, the Magic's record this season would definitely not be just 65 wins and 17 losses. It should be better. better.

The fifth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference is the New Jersey Nets, which has the same record as the Raptors. The Nets' final record is also 62 wins and 20 losses.

The sixth team in the Eastern Conference is the Bucks, which is second in the Central Division. The Bucks led by Ray Allen have caused a "shaking storm" in the NBA this season, and "Lei Zhentian's name is like thunder for a while." .

As Lei Zhentian, Ray Allen averaged 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season. There was a time when he was also a popular candidate for NBA regular season MVP.

Of course, because the Bucks later saw that they could not catch up with the Cavaliers for the first place in the division, and did not want to play the Magic or Heat for the fifth place, they finally let it go. In the end, the Bucks' record was 58 wins and 24 losses.

In fact, if the Bucks are willing to bite the bullet, they can win 60 games this season.

If this is true, there will be six 60-win teams in the entire league in one season, which will create an incredible record in NBA history.

Of course, the NBA this season is incredible enough.

Five 60-win teams in one season is already very, very impressive.

However, generally speaking, according to the ratings of NBA media experts, the eight playoff teams in the entire Eastern Conference are divided into three gears.

The strength of the Magic and Heat is the first gear.

The Cavaliers, Nets, Raptors, Bucks and other four madness are the second gear.

After that, the seventh and eighth Pistons in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers and the 76ers who unfortunately did not make the playoffs are in the third tier.

The gap between the first two gears is not big, and the gap between the third gear and the second gear is a bit big.

This can be seen from the results between each other.

The Pistons, seventh in the Eastern Conference, have a record of 45-37.

The eighth Pacers in the East have a record of 41 wins and 41 losses.

The 76ers, who are ninth in the Eastern Conference, have 40 wins and 42 losses.

Teams in the first and second tiers basically win or lose each other, while teams in the third tier have a hard time beating the teams in the first two tiers this season. It can even be said that they have basically never been defeated.

This is also the reason why their respective records are so far apart.

In addition to the top nine in the East, the tenth to fifteenth teams are the Chicago Bulls, Wizards, Celtics, New York Knicks, Eagles and Bobcats.

Among them, the Bobcats' record of 8 wins and 74 losses this season has created NBA history, surpassing the 9 wins and 73 losses of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1972-73.

To be honest, this record is not deliberately bad. It can only be said that Jordan can play, hit one and send away another, hit one and send away another. If this team can win, it will be really amazing.

In the West, the No. 1 team in the West this season is the Suns led by O'Neal. Under O'Neal's leadership, the Suns have a record of 59 wins and 23 losses.

This record and this ranking are indeed normal, and many people thought so before the start of the season.

And the second team in the West is the San Antonio Spurs, which absolutely no one thought of before the start of the season.

The Spurs' record is 58 wins and 24 losses. This record is incredible for the third-to-last team in the Western Conference last season.

This record is really thanks to the maturity of Ron Howard and Arenas, as well as a group of high-quality players like Howard and Scola Bowen.

The third team in the West is the first in the Northwest Division, the Timberwolves with 48 wins and 34 losses.

The players of the Timberwolves are very excited this season, and Garnett managed to stabilize the morale of the army and got a chance to make a comeback.

The fourth team in the Western Conference is the Dallas Mavericks, which is second in the Southwest Division. The Mavericks have a better record than the Timberwolves, but due to ranking rules, they can only be ranked fourth with 56 wins and 26 losses.

The fifth team in the West is the Kings with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses.

It's really not easy for the Kings this season. It collapsed when Webber was there, and took off when Webber was gone.

Many people smell something special on this king.

The sixth team in the West is the Denver Nuggets led by Anthony, with 45 wins and 37 losses.

The seventh-place team in the Western Conference is the Trail Blazers with 42 wins and 40 losses.

The eighth place in the Western Conference was the Lakers, who after trading Kidd and at the end of the following season, played a wave of eight consecutive wins and caught up from the lottery.

The cooperation between Kobe and Gasol seems to be very good.

However, although the Lakers entered the playoffs with 41 wins and 41 losses this season, due to the arrival of Gasol, Kobe's points per game dropped from first to second and was surpassed by Iverson.

However, for Kobe, since he is willing to actively adapt to Gasol's style of play, he must also be willing to sacrifice the honor of being the scoring champion.

To be honest, if he had the choice, Iverson would definitely be willing to trade the scoring title for a chance in the playoffs.

The ninth to fifteenth teams in the Western Conference are the Rockets, Warriors, Clippers, Jazz, SuperSonics, Hornets, and Grizzlies.

At this point, all the 2005 NBA matchups are out.

In the East, the first-place Heat will play the eighth-place Pacers, the second-place Cavaliers will play the seventh-place Pistons, the third-place Raptors will play the sixth-place Bucks, and the fourth-place Magic will play the fifth-place Nets.

There is no doubt that the battle between the Raptors and Bucks, Nets and Magic, the four strongest teams this season, is the most eye-catching.

These two matchups are known as the strongest first round in NBA playoff history.

In the West, the Suns, who are first in the West, will play the Lakers, who are eighth in the West, the Spurs, who are second in the West, will play the Trail Blazers, who are seventh in the West, the Timberwolves, who are third in the West, will play the Nuggets, who are sixth in the West, and the Nuggets, who are fourth in the West. The Bulls beat the fifth-place Kings in the Western Conference.

The most eye-catching matches in the first round of the Western Conference are of course the Lakers and Suns, and the Mavericks and Kings.

Especially the Lakers and Suns team.

O'Neal versus Kobe in the playoffs!

If we say that the Raptors and Bucks and the Magic and Nets in the Eastern Conference are the strongest first round in NBA history.

So the first round between the Suns and the Lakers is definitely the most watched first round game in NBA history.

Let's put it this way, even Chen Xiao, after the regular season ended, saw the Lakers playing the Suns in the West and briefly forgot about the unhappy fact that he might have taken away his candy from Xiao Zhan.

After the first round of the NBA matchup came out, media from all over the world not only flocked to the game between the Magic and the Nets, but instead flocked to the game between the Lakers and the Suns!

This is true for the players, the media, and the fans!

Of course, after the regular season ends, the league announces the best teams in the East and West for April.

The Western Conference is led by Kobiko, who led the team to its last eight consecutive victories.

On the Eastern side, Chen Xiao, who led the team to 7 wins and 5 losses, averaging 29 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 3 blocks per game, defeated Iverson, who led the team to 7 wins and 4 losses, averaging 33 points, 9 assists and 3 steals per game, and won the award this season. The third month is the best.

Best 3 months in a single season, first in the league.

If we talk about MVP in terms of monthly best quantity, Chen Xiao is well-deserved.

So, who is the final MVP?
