However, there is another twist. Each of the 30 teams played 66-67 games. The NBA regular league has 82 games. I'm almost there. The MVP debate is now a reality.
ESPN of the U.S. cast a mock MVP vote last month.
A hundred media officials participated in an informal poll that mimicked the NBA postseason award voting process.
First place was Shai Gilzer Alexander. It was the first place in total score.
He got 70 votes out of 100 first place votes. He finished second in all 30 votes. I got 910 out of 1,000 points in total. Jokichi only scored 788 points, including 30 first-place votes, 69 second-place votes, and one third-place vote. There was a big difference.
The most likely MVP candidate before the season was three. Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic looked like they would be in a two-way race. However, Doncic quickly emerged as the most likely candidate in the MVP race due to his poor performance and injury early in the season. It was the time to aim for the first MVP.
However, Doncic has been completely eliminated due to sluggishness and injury. Jokic dominated early in the season. He dominated the first place in the MVP race. Shy Gilgeous Alexander began to come to mind.
Jokic still had strong data and dominance. However, Gilzer Alexander was unexpectedly powerful. It led Oklahoma to the top spot in the West, and reached the second place in the MVP race in the middle of the season.
And in the end, starting with the All-Star break, he succeeded in turning the tables. Manager Mike Malone of Jokic's team, Denver, criticized that "in terms of pure data, everyone will vote for Jokic", but the trend was Shai Gilzer Alexander.
In the important 'Story' for MVP, Gilzer Alexander was very fresh. On the other hand, Jokic has already won MVP awards and been nominated several times. This part has become poisonous. It was a polar opposite.
In the end, Gilzer Alexander's first MVP was in sight.
However, the reality was different.
CBS Sports said on the 20th (Korea time) 'Many experts will say that the NBA MVP has been decided (by Shy Gilzer Alexander). It may be a combination of not only personal data, but also team performance and voter fatigue (the freshness of the MVP story).' However, a survey of actual voters and NBA experts differed. 'The MVP race between Shai Gilzer Alexander and Nikola Jokic is still ongoing, and they said they had weeks to make distressing decisions,' the report said.
In other words, many voters are not completely in favor of Gilzer Alexander.
Gilzer Alexander averages 33.0 points, 6.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Jokic is a triple double-weight data with an average of 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists.
In terms of data alone, Yokichi is right.
The media reports 'Yokichi is also having one of his best career years. He's already a three-time MVP, but he's a career high in points and assists per game. The three-point shooting success rate and three-point assist per game were also 41.3% and 4.6%, respectively.
In other words, it means that it is recording more than the MVP season.
A head of the NBA said 'It is important to lead the winning team. So I said, 'I'm going to vote for Shai (Gilgers Alexander)," and another NBA executive said, "'I understand the fatigue of Nikola Jokic. However, Jokic is hard-carrying Denver. It is true that Shai Gilzer Alexander's weight in Oklahoma is lower than that of Jokic. I'm going to vote for Jokic.
