Official announcement! The regular season MIP was released, Zubac was unfortunately defeated, Daniels became the second player in the team history

Basketball

NBA playoffs are in full swing, and major regular season awards are being announced one after another. Before that, Celtics defender Prichard won the sixth man, Knicks defender won the Key Player of the Year Award, Cavaliers center won the Defensive Player of the Year, Warriors defender Curry was elected teammate of the year, and Spurs No. 4 pick Castle was elected the Rookie of the Year. According to the NBA’s convention, the next thing the league will announce is that the award is the fastest-progress player award (regular season MIP). Hawks' Daniels, Clippers' Zubac and Pistons' Cningham are the three ultimate candidates for the award, who can be the final winner?

According to news from the NBA official website, Daniels of the Hawks were elected to the regular season MIP this season. The specific voting situation of the three MIP candidates is as follows: Daniels won 44 first votes, 36 second votes and 4 third votes, with a total score of 332 points; Zubac won 23 first votes, 18 second votes and 17 third votes, with a total score of 188 points; Cningham won 15 first votes, 11 second votes and 14 third votes, with a total score of 122 points. In addition, the Nuggets' Braun scored 120 points, the Lakers' Reeves scored 39 points, the Cavaliers' Mobri Jr. scored 21 points, and the Rockets' Amen scored 18 points. It is not difficult to see from the fact that the votes are so scattered that there are too many players who have improved this season. Rather than saying that Zubac, Cningham and others have not made great progress, it is better to say that Daniels' growth is too gratifying!

Take Zubac for example. This season, Zubac played 80 games, averaging 16.8 points + 12.6 rebounds + 2.7 assists + 1.1 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 62.8%. Compared with last season (11.7 points + 9.2 rebounds + 1.4 assists), Zubac has made comprehensive progress. With the help of Harden, he has grown into the Clippers' inside line, and has built a purple and golden beam. Some people even think that he is the second best center forward in the league and the best lineup. Take Cningham for example. This season, Cningham played 70 games, averaging 26.1 points + 6.1 rebounds + 9.1 assists + 1 steal, and scored 9 triple-doubles in 9 times, leading the Pistons to the playoffs. It has a qualitative leap from personal honors to the team's record, and its storyliness and inspirationality meets the standards of MIP. But unfortunately, Zubac and Cningham still regretfully missed the regular season MIP. If you want to blame, Daniels blames him for being "unethical."

Daniels played 76 games this season, averaging 14.1 points + 5.9 rebounds + 4.4 assists + 3 steals (first in the league). Compared with last season (5.8 points + 3.9 rebounds + 2.7 assists + 1.4 steals), Daniels has made visible progress in scoring (+8.3), rebounds (+2), assists (+1.7), steals (+1.6), etc. According to statistics, Daniels is the fifth player in NBA history to average at least 14 points + 5 rebounds + 4 assists + 3 steals per game in the season. The top 4 are Magic, Jordan, Richardson and Big O. At the same time, Daniels is the first player in the NBA to complete at least three steals in a single season in the past 34 years, and the last one was Big O in the 1990-91 season.

Daniels was elected to the regular season MIP and wrote a god-level record. According to statistics, Daniels is the second player in the history of the Hawks to win the regular season MIP, and the last one was Henderson in the 1997-98 season. From an unknown teenager in the Pelicans era to a steal king in the Eagles era, Daniels wrote an inspirational story of "No one has ever asked about it for ten years, and one day he became famous all over the world". His career path is getting wider and wider, and the future is promising! Looking forward to Daniels continuing to work hard. If he can polish out better projection technology, I believe he will become the hottest 3D in the league. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
