Chapter 1189 1188. The First Unanimous MVP in History!

On May 2, when some teams advanced, some teams played the decisive battle, and the Hawks started their first rest day, the league announced the best rookie and best defensive player of the season.

Chris Paul, who played 72 games and averaged 16.5 points, 5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, won the best rookie without suspense.

Andrew Bogut, who calls himself the Australian Duncan, is not known for his average of 8.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. He is not bad, but not bad. He has good defense, excellent positioning and pick-and-roll.

But when it comes to Andrew Bogut's No. 1 pick, he is really a dish!

But compared with Kwame Brown's first two seasons of his career and Olowokandi, he is quite good.

In people's eyes, Andrew Bogut is probably another Joe Smith. He is not a fake No. 1 pick, but he is not a very good No. 1 pick either. He is not even close to the word "excellent".

With Paul, Deron and Bynum, three talented rookies behind him, the Bucks obviously lost by choosing Bogut.

The best defensive player was won by Andrei Kirilenko of the Jazz. Kirilenko's defensive performance this season was phenomenal. As an outside player, his defensive efficiency was higher than that of inside players such as Duncan, Yao Ming, Kwame Brown, and Garnett. He even broke the record of average blocks per game for outside players in a single season in NBA history. His average of 3.5 blocks per game made all the inside block masters ashamed.

With 64% of the votes, Kirilenko deserved the title of best defensive player.

Kwame Brown scored 19% of the votes and ranked second, entering the top three of the best defensive player rankings for the first time.

Kobe Bryant scored 9% of the votes, entering the top three of the best defensive player votes for the second time in his career.

Garnett ranked fourth, Duncan ranked fifth, Ben Wallace ranked sixth, Wade ranked seventh, and Prince ranked eighth.

Liu Mang actually got 1 first vote, a total of 33 points, ranked ninth...

On May 3, the league announced the best coach and best manager awards, and Hawks coach Lon Kruger received the third best coach award in five years.

Many fans have begun to complain that coach Kruger is lucky to meet Liu Mang.

But there are also comments that being able to bring Liu Mang, a player who other teams wanted but did not pay attention to during the draft, into the NBA is a kind of ability.

The best manager was won by Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, who got Yao Ming and helped the Lakers stand up again.

These awards, including the best coach, are not taken so seriously by the Hawks.

Coach Kruger has won the best coach twice. He is happy to have him for the third time, and he doesn't feel any regrets if he doesn't.

By May 5, most of the 8-round series have been decided. The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4-1, the Mavericks defeated the Supersonics 4-1, and only the Clippers and the Suns, the 76ers and the Cavaliers were tied 3-3.

The Suns escaped the situation of being beaten 3-1 by the Lakers in the first round and being questioned by fans and the media, but they did not escape the doubts of another Los Angeles team.

After tying the score 3-3 with difficulty, the Suns will play a tiebreaker with the Clippers on the evening of the 5th.

The Cavaliers and the 76ers played very anxiously. Iverson averaged 34 points and 8 assists per game, and James averaged 30+7+7. The two were tied and will play a tiebreaker on the 6th.

…

"Jason, don't be so excited. Anyway, you have already won it once." Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry who was about to get close to the TV screen and complained.

"Ace, you have already won the MVP once. Don't win it again in the future, okay?" Jason Terry countered.

OK! Liu Mang was choked.

This guy, his mouth is always unforgiving!

Liu Mang has been waiting for the second round with his teammates boredly for three days. Today is May 5th, the fourth day, and he will continue to wait.

However, there are three major awards to be announced today.

The league has arranged to announce all individual awards in the first round this season, and now there are only three awards left: MVP, Most Improved Award, and Best Sixth Man.

The remaining Best Team and Best Defensive Team are actually team awards, but individual performance accounts for a larger proportion.

If a player does not make the playoffs, even if he wins the scoring title, it is almost impossible for him to make the first team. Both Iverson and McGrady have encountered this situation.

As for the Best Defensive Team, the coach voting is more strict. If a player does not make the playoffs, let alone the first defense, the second defense coach will not consider it.

Liu Mang said that he was not in a hurry, but as the time for the award announcement at 10 o'clock in the morning got closer and closer, he slowly began to get anxious.

Although Liu Mang's MVP was what everyone expected, and at the end of March, Liu Mang's MVP was basically completely stable, but the closer it was to the announcement, Liu Mang became a little worried...

Finally, at ten o'clock, Liu Mang and his teammates waited for more than ten minutes around the TV for commercials, and David Stern's face appeared on the TV screen.

The last three individual awards of the regular season were announced!

The first to be announced was the Best Sixth Man Award. Jason Terry received 28.3% of the votes, beating Manu Ginobili who received 27.6% of the votes, and won the Best Sixth Man Award for the second time in his career.

Then came the Most Improved Award.

Boris Diaw went from being unable to play in the ball last season to playing in 82 games this season, averaging 14 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 block per game. D'Antoni's ability to dig out these strangely talented players is really not good. In other words, he is on the same level as Popovich, which is great. Many players who have given up on their careers have been reborn under his hands.

However, Boris Dior won the Most Improved Award without any suspense with 79% of the vote, which is quite shocking.

This is much more amazing than when McGrady and Liu Mang won the Most Improved Award. Before McGrady won the Most Improved Award, the Magic had given him an annual salary of tens of millions. When Liu Mang won the Most Improved Award, the previous season He was selected to the All-NBA team and was the MVP that season.

Diaw really has the feeling of being "reborn". He only averaged 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, and he could hardly play anymore, but this season he actually performed like a first-class star.

The only player who can compare with Diaw as the most improved player in history is Jermaine O'Neal.

But Dior's shocking performance was stolen from the limelight by the second-placed name in the Most Improved Award.

Liu Mang received 15 first-place votes, ranking second in the Most Improved Award with a vote rate of 19%...

In other words, without Dior's shocking performance, Liu Mang might have been the favorite for the Most Improved Award.

Last season, Tracy McGrady only received one first-place vote, ranking sixth in the vote count.

Liu Mang actually ranked second!

Liu Mang was speechless...

The final MVP did not disappoint Liu Mang.

Among the 125 first-place votes, among the 125 voting media, professionals, commentators, and radio announcers, Liu Mang received all 125 first-place votes and won the regular season MVP in a dominant manner!

Moreover, it also broke O'Neal's historically high first-place vote share of 99% in the 1999-2000 season, becoming the first star in NBA history to be unanimously elected regular season MVP.

After breaking the historical win record and winning the scoring title in his second year, Liu Mang transformed into the assist title. Liu Mang became the most well-deserved MVP...

But at this moment, Liu Mang felt something was wrong.

I was originally prepared, but as soon as I saw the MVP announcement, I turned around and left to enjoy the loneliness in silence.

But because I was frightened by the Most Improved Award before, I lost the opportunity to escape immediately.

His teammates, who had been prepared for a long time, surrounded Liu Mang.

"After winning the championship, Liv Palace will be reserved for a week." Liu Mang said directly.

At this time, it was not the first time that he was protected by Raheem when he won the MVP. He also tried to find excuses like a younger brother, directly announcing that he had won the championship and booked the nightclub in Miami known as the Palace for a week.

Originally, it was because Liu Mang's parents were preparing to return to China in the summer when Liu Mang went to participate in the World Championships. They had been in the United States for more than half a year. Although they were reluctant to leave their son and grandchildren, they were ready to go back. The feeling of homesickness was stronger than many feelings. More profoundly, Liu Mang plans to let Levia and Alexia take them to Miami for vacation a month or two after the end of the season. When they go to Japan to watch Liu Mang play in the World Championships, he will take them together. Go watch and send them home after watching the World Championships.

Unable to avoid the invitation, Liu Mang simply chose a hotel in Miami to reserve the venue.

"Oh oh oh... Ace, you were so straightforward this time, I almost didn't recognize you..." Jason Terry jumped up.

Liu Mang was deeply impressed by this nightclub called liv. He had never been there himself, but Liu Mang was deeply impressed by this big-name nightclub with a history of 20 years. A few years later, there was a JDZ king who stayed here for a week. A tip of US$140,000 was given to the same nightclub girl with a huge butt every night...

…

Liu Mang won the regular season MVP unanimously. The fat man in Miami was depressed. One of his greatest achievements was surpassed. That time he was one vote away, and was robbed of one of the 122 votes by Allen Iverson, who was in full swing at the time. He regretted losing the unanimous MVP title with 121 votes, but this time Liu Mang did it!

A certain bald boss who is on vacation in Los Angeles wants to vomit blood. He led the team to a 72-win season. Not to mention unanimous votes, he got 100 first-place votes, and was robbed of more than 20 votes by last season's MVP David Robinson. .

He also won more than 70 games, and the boy he taught actually became the first unanimous MVP in NBA history!

Liu Mang was unanimously elected MVP, causing a sensation.

Liu Mang is certain to win the MVP, but the overall vote is still amazing. The last time Liu Mang won the MVP 70 times, he only got more than 60% of the first-place votes.

This time he got a higher vote rate than when O'Neal won the MVP!

Some media asserted that if Liu Mang successfully defends the championship this time, he will surpass Shaquille O'Neal and sit firmly at tenth place in history! And it is an unshakable top ten in history!
