Before this award was announced, many fans speculated that boxing champion Tyson Chandler, who built a defensive formation for the Knicks, would only be able to achieve two consecutive wins.

In terms of personal data, Tyson Chandler's block score has declined this year, but the decline has been limited. Overall, he has maintained a double-double of points and rebounds per game and a value of 1 block.

The key is that the Knicks ranked second in the Eastern Conference this season, soaring from 36 wins last year to 54 wins.

As the defensive gatekeeper, Tyson Chandler definitely contributed.

Although in Wang Zelin's impression, this year's Defensive Player of the Year award goes to the Grizzlies' Marc Gasol, he feels that this time he can't say for sure.

In his previous life, the reason why Marc Gasol defeated Tyson Chandler and became the rare best defensive player in history that he was only selected for the defensive second team. In addition to the visual fatigue of the fans, it is inseparable from the fact that the Grizzlies went from 41 wins to 41 wins a year later.

A span of 56 wins.

Although they are only ranked fifth in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies' record is two more wins than the Knicks, who are second in the Eastern Conference.

The dominance of the team's record has become the last bargaining chip that overwhelms the balance.

However, because the Trail Blazers intervened, the Grizzlies' record was the same as the Knicks' 54 wins, so Wang Zelin estimated that the Grizzlies, no, it was Marc Gasol who was going to be unlucky.

Sure enough, when the league finally announced the awards, Knicks fans breathed a sigh of relief.
