Chapter 165: Reap the Awards! (55)

The 82nd game is over!
Lin Chuan and others also ended their long regular season journey.

Back to Oklahoma.

They now need to prepare for the playoffs.

in the hospital.

Durant looked at the people at the door.

I couldn't help but smile.

These guys are really nice.

As soon as the game was over, the first thing I did when I returned to Oklahoma was to come to the hospital to see him.

He immediately felt a lot of warmth.

Especially Lin Chuan.

Durant took a look and seemed to be holding something in his hand.

"You're here, why don't you bring any gifts?"

Durant sat up and looked at several people.

Lin Chuan placed the fruit basket in his hand on the bedside.

"You don't understand. This is the custom of the Chinese people."

As he spoke, Lin Chuan took out an orange and started peeling it.

Watching Lin Chuan peel the orange, Durant was about to reach out to take it, but he saw Lin Chuan eating it by himself.

His hand stopped in mid-air, feeling a little awkward.

"Shit, Lin Chuan, I thought you were giving it to me."

"Your back is injured, not your hand. Just do it yourself."

Lin Chuan reached into the fruit basket.

Under the eyes of everyone.

Lin Chuan took out a banana.

A circle of black people around.

Looking at the banana in Lin Chuan's hand.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Before anyone speaks.

Lin Chuan immediately stuffed the banana back, then quickly took out an apple and threw it over.

Then he immediately changed the subject and said,
"How's your recovery going?"

"almost."

Durant was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly.

"Four or five days is enough. If I'm lucky, I can make it to the second game of the playoffs. If I'm unlucky, maybe the fourth game. It all depends on my recovery."

"That's good."

"Why, you guys can't win the playoffs without me?"

Durant looked at them and joked.

Before Lin Chuan could refute, Westbrook walked over and lightly punched Durant in the chest.

"Idiot, we were undefeated during the regular season when you didn't play."

Lin Chuan also laughed.
"Why don't you just not play in the first round? Let others see how our team can beat other playoff teams even if we are missing a core player."

Durant laughed.
"What if the car flips over?"

"If you fail, you can come back."

"Hahaha."

"Dong dong dong."

"Please keep your voice down."

Several people were arguing in the ward until the nurse came in and they quieted down a little.

"The regular season awards will be announced in the next two days."

Lin Chuan suddenly said.

"I don't know how many we can take down."

On the side, Westbrook sat on the bed and looked out the window and said.

"Anyway, I will definitely be the MVP!"

Durant, who was sitting on the bed, stood up and said confidently. Lin Chuan was speechless.

"Fuck, my performance is no worse than yours, but the league and the media treat you as the boss, so your ranking has always been number one."

"That's right! He's the one who appeared the least."

Westbrook also complained.

Durant looked very proud.
"That can't be helped. I'm number one anyway, brothers."

After talking about the ward, they returned to the training hall to continue training.

Prepare for the playoffs.

…………

Two days later.

All the games are over.

All the individual data kings are also automatically released.

In the end, Durant retained the title of scoring champion this season.

Durant defeated Anthony's challenge by 0.2 points and won the scoring title for the fourth consecutive time.

The rebounding title went to Howard, who switched to a blue-collar role this season.

He leads the league in rebounding with an average of 12.7 rebounds per game.

Rajon Rondo averaged 11.1 assists per game, surpassing Chris Paul, Westbrook and Lin Chuan to become the assist king of this season.

The block king competition took place within the Thunder.

Lin Chuan averaged 3 blocks per game, defeating former block leader Ibaka of the same team who averaged 2.72 blocks per game, and won the block leader title this season.

The steals leader is Westbrook, who averages 2.1 steals per game.

There were a total of five statistics, and the Thunder won three of them.

After this.

The NBA has officially begun announcing this season's regular season awards.

The first to be announced was the NBA Coach of the Year title, and coach Scott Brooks, who led his team to a record of 74 wins and 8 losses, ranking first in the league, was crowned with honor!

This season, he led his team to the best regular season record in history, beating Popovich, Mike Woodson, George Karl and others, and won the best coach award without any controversy.

In this year's best coach selection, Brooks also received all the first votes for best coach, becoming the first coach in NBA history to be elected as the best coach of the year with a full vote.

This is also the second time he has won the best coach award following the 09-10 season.

After the best coach award, in accordance with the long-standing tradition of the NBA league, the next award to be announced is the much-anticipated individual award for regular season players - the Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY).

Among many candidates, Lin Chuan stood out with his basic data of 11.2 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1.6 steals per game, as well as advanced data such as extremely high rim protection efficiency. He successfully defeated Tyson Chandler, Marc Gasol, Joakim Noah and other defensive stalwarts in the voting and was awarded the regular season DPOY.

In his second year, Lin Chuan won the regular season's best defensive player.

This feat also allowed him to break many brilliant NBA records.

Lin Chuan became the first player in the history of the Thunder to receive this honor, once again enriching the history of the Thunder, which has a history of less than ten years.

Secondly, Lin Chuan averaged at least 3 blocks and 1 steal per game, becoming the first NBA player to achieve this achievement in the past five years.

The last time someone did it was in the 07-08 season.

It was Marcus Camby who did it.

The most surprising thing is that Lin Chuan also became the first player in NBA history to win DPOY and make at least 100 three-pointers. Such comprehensiveness is rare in the world.

At only 20 years and 105 days old, Lin Chuan also became the youngest Defensive Player of the Year in NBA history.

In the competition for other awards, the honor of Best Rookie went to Lillard, who showed combat effectiveness that was far beyond that of a rookie.

JR Smith won the Sixth Man of the Year award for his average of 18.7 points per game.

In the end, the Most Improved Player award once again went to Lin Chuan.

Last season, Lin Chuan played less than ten times in the regular season.

而本赛季，他已经能砍下42次三双，场均22.1分11.2篮板9.6助攻3盖帽1.6抢断，也是准三

The hit rates are also as high as 56.5%, 39.1%, and 88.2%.

Almost arrived at the 180 Club.

This award is undoubtedly deserved.

In addition to the most important MVP, best team and best defensive team.

All regular season awards are announced.

For the MVP award, only the candidates, the top three players, have been announced so far.

They are Kevin Durant (Thunder), Carmelo Anthony (Knicks), and Lin Chuan (Thunder).
