Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 705 - 244: The Player Even Gods Can’t Guard Against (First Update! Begging for Monthly Votes!)

After a period of patient waiting, the Warriors' opponent in the Western Conference Semifinals is finally determined.

They will face the challenge of the Grizzlies in the next round.

May 2nd.

The day before the start of the Western Conference Semifinals, the NBA officially announced the list of various awards for the 11/12 season.

Without choosing to defy the world's expectations, the league surprisingly and unsurprisingly awarded the much-anticipated Regular Season MVP to Qin Yue.

And thus, Qin Yue officially achieved an accomplishment that even Jordan could not achieve back in the day:

——Three consecutive MVP titles.

To prevent individual honors from being monopolized by a particular player for too long, affecting the "cake-sharing policy" since Stern took office.

Since the last triple-MVP of Larry Bird, until Qin Yue's emergence, the NBA had not seen the occurrence of a player winning three consecutive MVPs for nearly forty years.

But now, Qin Yue has broken the basic law of the NBA regular season awards that the league has long adhered to.

Moreover, Qin Yue, who was the people's choice, successfully received all the first-place votes.

"A well-deserved unanimous MVP! At this moment, greatness requires no further words!" — ESPN headline

His second unanimous MVP selection in his career.

His first time being selected as MVP for three consecutive years in his career.

A total of five MVP selections in his career.

When Qin Yue, at the age of twenty-eight, officially tied with Jordan in the number of regular-season MVPs, if, in the past two seasons, Qin Yue gave people the impression that he was already as formidable as Jordan was back in the day,

the current feeling is that Qin Yue's momentum appears to have a tendency to overshadow Jordan.

"Michael Jordan won his first championship at the age of twenty-nine." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

On TNT TV Station, Barkley, while sharply commenting on who between Qin Yue and Jordan is greater, said: "But what about the Messiah? At the age of twenty-eight, the personal and team honors he has received have almost caught up with Michael."

Without a doubt, age is Qin Yue, this new GOAT's greatest advantage.

This gives Qin Yue a huge space for imagination among people.

Moreover, the development of the internet also provides Qin Yue with more convenient channels for publicity.

In recent years, even those who don't watch basketball are aware that the NBA has produced an unprecedented Demon King.

Among many predecessors, Oscar Robertson, who has always been favorable to Qin Yue, said when invited to attend Qin Yue's MVP award ceremony: "The league finally did the right thing; they have set an example and a role model for future generations."

Although some people do not agree with Robertson referring to Qin Yue as an example and role model.

For instance, Shaquille O'Neal.

But in this era where not praising Qin Yue undoubtedly means you don't understand basketball, O'Neal, who was at times bullied by Qin Yue to the point of only being able to avoid confrontation with "intelligent foot injuries" towards the end of his career, had to choose to hold back regardless of how much resentment he had towards Qin Yue.

After all, in the face of Qin Yue's absolute strength...

O'Neal's accusation of lacking sportsmanship seems utterly ridiculous.

On the basketball court, if taunting your opponent is seen as a lack of sportsmanship, then are there any players with sportsmanship in the NBA?

Oracle Arena.

At the award ceremony carefully arranged by the Warriors for himself, Qin Yue said: "Although I am well aware that I am still the player with the most outstanding performance in the regular season this year, I must thank those judges who voted for me."

Then, Qin Yue added with a tone that suffocated the league executives: "As for my biggest wish right now? It is, of course, to win another MVP next year."

Win another MVP next year?

Can't you at least leave some room for other contemporary stars to breathe?

Undoubtedly, letting Qin Yue have a triple MVP is the limit for Stern and the league.

So shortly after Qin Yue delivered his award acceptance speech, Stern immediately decided that next season, even if they have to force it, the league must find a player who at least comes close to Qin Yue in personal statistics.

At this moment, Stern is not targeting Qin Yue.

However, along with having the main character Qin Yue, the NBA also requires enough significant supporting roles to sustain the attention of this grand reality show.

After all, the NBA has never been just a competitive league.

As a commercial league, without enough top-notch superstars, the NBA's popularity is bound to decline over time.

And on the day of the award presentation, Stephen Curry from the Warriors was also selected as the NBA's Best Sixth Man for three consecutive years.

Additionally, this year's Best Defensive Player, Most Improved Player, and Rookie of the Year were awarded to Marc Gasol, Paul George, and Kyrie Irving, respectively.

This season, Little Gasol winning the Best Defensive Player over Howard mainly relied on the defensive system meticulously crafted by Mike Brown after taking over the Lakers as coach.

As for the real DPOY in the hearts of fans?

Regrettably.

The current Qin Yue is no longer the Qin Yue of the past.

Therefore, even if they had to blackmail their way through, Stern could no longer award the DPOY to Qin Yue.

Moreover, the selections for the 11/12 season's All-NBA Team and All-Defensive Team are as follows:

All-NBA First Team: Howard, Qin Yue, James, Kobe, Paul.

All-NBA Second Team: Yao Ming, Durant, Anthony, Wade, Westbrook.
