林書豪無緣最佳進步獎 傷病成最大阻礙

Was Jeremy Lin robbed in the Most Improved Player voting?

The ultimate winner, Orlando Magic forward Ryan Anderson, registered 260 points and 33 first-place votes, edging out Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova and Minnesota Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic. Meanwhile the Knicks' Lin finished sixth with 91 overall points and 10 first-place votes despite going from the D-League to NBA stardom before tearing a meniscus in his left knee against the Pistons in late March.

Now we want you to tell us if Lin should have been named the league's Most Improved.

Remember, Anderson did go from starting 14 games and averaging 10.6 points per game in 2010-2011 to starting in every game he played while scoring 16.1 ppg on 39.3 percent 3-point accuracy this year.

Lin appeared in only 29 games for the Golden State Warriors last season, averaging 9.8 minutes and 2.6 points per game, but became an international superstar this year by starting 25 times in 35 appearances and averaging 14.6 points and 6.2 assists per game.

Lin also sparked a seven-game winning streak in February, which brought the Knicks back to .500 and ultimately helped the team reach the playoffs. While winning Player of the Month in February, Lin hit the game-winner against the Raptors in Toronto, dropped 38 points on the Lakers in Los Angeles in a winning effort, and had a 28-point, 14-assists performance in a win over the Dallas Mavericks.

【NBA快訊】5月5日，NBA公佈了本賽季進步最快球員獎的歸屬，最終奧蘭多魔術的前鋒裏安·安德森力壓諸多球員，榮獲這一獎項。效力於紐約尼克斯的華裔控衛林書豪本來是這一獎項的有力競爭者，可他因爲出場次數過少，最終僅在這一評選中位列第六名。對於林書豪來說，傷病讓他沒能夠獲得這一重大榮譽，這確實是一件令人惋惜的事情。

實際上僅從進步的幅度和給全球帶來的影響力來說，本賽季沒有人可以和林書豪相提並論。相比上個賽季，林書豪本賽季的場均得分達到了14.6分，相比上個賽季暴增了12分，而他的場均助攻則達到了6.2次，比上賽季提升了4.8次。另外林書豪的投籃命中率從上賽季的38.9%飛增到44.6%，三分球命中率從20%上升到32%，甚至罰球命中率也從76%達到了79.8%。因此僅從上升幅度來說，林書豪的進步幅度無人能及，但可惜的是，他一共只打了35場常規賽，這讓很多專家在投票的時候有所猶豫，並且最終選擇了他們更加認可的安德森等球員。（中文新聞來自新華網）
