Chapter 1436 1435. First Time in the Double First Team! (Asking for Monthly Votes)

I don’t know what happened in this year’s playoffs, but the Lakers and the Suns tied 1-1!

When Steve Nash got 12 assists in a single game, Calderon got 8 assists in a single game, and the two Suns point guards got a total of 20 assists in a game, it means that the Suns’ offense took off.

The same is true for the game. The Los Angeles team started to act up. After winning the first game, they actually looked down on the Suns. Maybe a No. 24 player still wanted to score points. The performance of 42 points with 16 of 35 shots was not bad, but the entire Lakers had "aristocratic disease" and was very lax on the defensive end. In the first half, the two teams played a halftime score of 74 to 68, and the Suns led by 6 points at halftime.

When the Lakers wanted to tighten up their defense in the second half, the two core lineups of Calderon + O'Neal, Nash + Dio + Josh Smith had already played well and broke the Lakers' defense.

Although Kobe scored 42 points, Yao Ming also had 27 points and 7 rebounds, Gasol 15 points and 6 rebounds, and Odom 7 points and 13 rebounds, the Lakers scored 122 points, but the Suns scored 131 points, defeated the Lakers away, and tied the score to 1:1.

Except for the Warriors who were suppressed by Iverson's 51 points when they wanted to counterattack, the other three series were tied 1:1!

Before the start of the playoffs, no one expected that the Nuggets would have the best chance to reach the divisional finals...

"Let's get messy..."

After watching the two games, Liu Mang was very excited!

The Suns gradually found a successful way of playing, which is a very good thing for Liu Mang.

Liu Mang doesn't think the Suns can really eliminate the Lakers, but at least they can cause a lot of trouble. If the Nuggets enter the Western Conference Finals, Iverson and Anthony will also cause some trouble for the Lakers.

Consume the Lakers well!

…

On May 6, the day before the game between the Hawks and the Bulls, Liu Mang came to the stadium and conducted tactical training with his teammates.

After two away games, on yesterday's rest day, Coach Kruger and his coaching staff made some adjustments to the tactics.

Although it is unknown what kind of adjustments the Bulls will make, Coach Kruger must find more ways to use the advantages of the previous two games. As for the disadvantages, if there is room for adjustment, try to adjust them.

However, the overall tactical thinking has not changed, because with Liu Mang, as long as Liu Mang is still in his prime, the Hawks will be a team that focuses on star play. Although Liu Mang has talked with Coach Kruger and others about team play, which is similar to the mature Spurs system in the future, it is really not suitable for the Hawks with Liu Mang.

But this is not a regret for Coach Kruger. With Liu Mang, there is no need for the Spurs system.

Just like the Spurs, if Duncan has always been in his twenties, Popovich will have to build the Spurs system when he is smart, and it will be easy to dig Duncan.

The amount of training is not large, the main thing is the quality. In terms of technology, one day can't change anything. Tacit understanding is not a matter of one day. It mainly depends on the training of tactical running.

After the training, Liu Mang drove McGrady to pick up Little Lolita from school, sent McGrady home, and then returned to his own home.

There will be another game tomorrow. Little Lolita is very excited to choose clothes to wear tomorrow. In summer, there are many more clothes to choose than in winter and spring.

Liu Mang turned on the computer to read the news.

The Hawks' game will be tomorrow, which is the 7th. The third game of the Lakers' series with Phoenix and the Suns will start on the 8th, which is the day after tomorrow, so there is no game today.

Liu Mang's popularity of 65 points and 60+ triple-doubles in a single game gradually dissipated. After all, in the playoffs, the championship is the greatest honor. When three of the four series were tied 1-1, the suspense of the championship became more and more, and fans began to discuss which team with a good record would be defeated by an upset.

In addition, a new topic has become popular.

The Kidd era of the Nets is over!

Jason Kidd, who has finished this season, said in an interview that he has informed the Nets that he has opted out of the player option for next season and will become a free agent in the offseason.

Very decisive, not even giving the Nets a chance to negotiate a sign-and-trade.

After Kidd announced that he had opted out of the contract, a reporter broke the news that Vince Carter had applied for a trade, and the Nets had a strong motivation to trade the 30-year-old Carter.

It is difficult to predict what the 30-year-old star will become in the future. The Nets management does not want to take this risk and wants to sell Carter when Carter is averaging 29.1 points per game, his best performance in his career, and has a very high trading value.

Although Kidd is 34 years old, he is still one of the best point guards in the league, one of the top five point guards in the league, and Carter is one of the top three shooting guards in the league. Players ranked in the top five in two positions will enter the free market in the summer, which will undoubtedly cause a scramble among teams.

According to sources, the Nets want draft picks.

OJ Mayo, the top high school student in the United States, will graduate from Rose Hill Christian High School in 15 days, on May 21st. He has good SAT scores and has reached an agreement with the University of Southern California and will join the University of Southern California next season.

Since Mayo had complained about this system after the 2005 labor negotiations determined that high school students would not be allowed to participate in the draft starting in 2006, every team was certain that Mayo was only using the NCAA as a springboard and would join the NBA after playing one year. Regarding the draft, some teams that were unsuccessful this season are already preparing for the 2008 draft.

Since there are only ten days left before the lottery on May 16, this year's draft news has begun to become popular.

Greg Oden, Al Horford, Joakim Noah, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Corey Brewer, Mike Conley, Marcus Thornton, Nick Young ...After high school students were prohibited from participating in the NBA draft, causing 2006 to become a super draft year comparable to 2000, in 2007, a large number of talents who finished their freshman year will participate in the draft.

In Liu Mang's view, 2007 is not a big year for the draft, but according to current public opinion, this summer's draft is comparable to 2003. Among them, Greg Oden is the key to improving this draft.

Since March, Oden has been able to steal NBA basketball headlines from time to time.

In addition to these, there is an ignored rumor that has been cropping up recently when there are no games.

The Trail Blazers decided between the strongest strength and better professionalism, and put Zach Randolph on the shelf for sale.

All members of the former Portland Prison Brigade will soon be cleared by the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers are expected to enter a new situation.

However, Liu Mang searched for a long time and could not find any news about the guy he wanted to find.

Liu Mang was a little puzzled: "Is it possible that he chose to renew the contract? No way..."

…

…

Nothing happened all night. The next morning, Liu Mang got up at around five o'clock. When he washed up and came to the living room, the little Lolita was already dressed and ready for a morning run with Liu Mang.

But there were two other people.

"Levia, Aida, why are you up so early?" Liu Mang asked, looking at San Niu.

"Lose weight, lose weight! I can't even fit into my bikini!" Alexia touched the ring of flesh on her belly. After she began to focus her life on her two one-year-old children, she spent less time working out. I have a small belly recently.

"I was forcibly pulled up by your senior sister. We are about to leave. I have to sleep when we get back." Levia was very dissatisfied. She practiced boxing twice and yoga three times a week, so there was no problem in this regard at all. , but was woken up by Alexia...

"Then let's go together!" Liu Mang was quite happy.

Taking a pretty little loli and two girls for a morning run together, just in case someone sees me... How honorable!

…

After returning from the morning run, he took a shower. The maid had already prepared breakfast. After Liu Mang had breakfast with Alexia and Little Lolita, he brought Little Lolita, Alexia and the bodyguards together. Sent to elementary school, little Loli's last semester is about to end. Alexia will also resign after little Loli graduates to become a full-time housewife. The two children will be two years old in October. Liu Mang is busy and needs Moms spend more time taking care of you.

Liu Mang arrived at the arena at half past eight. He didn't rush to start shooting training. After a simple warm-up, he waited in the lounge. When it was almost nine o'clock, his teammates came one after another.

There's something big happening today!

At nine o'clock sharp, the league officially announced the first team and first defense for this season!

The first team of the All-NBA Team is led by Liu Mang and Nowitzki. Both were unanimously selected to the first team. Kobe, who averaged 25 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, was selected again without any suspense. Duncan, who had a career-high performance last season, After his worst performance, he returned to his peak this season, averaging 20 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.2 blocks per game, and was once again selected to the All-NBA First Team.

As for the center, Yao Ming can be regarded as a lay-down player, averaging 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game.

In terms of statistics, Yao Ming's statistics in previous years were only in the second and third teams, but the media who voted for him knew his role, and there was no center that performed better than him. Kwame Brown, Milicic, and Howard were all inferior. One point later, Yao Ming was selected to the All-NBA First Team for the first time in his career.

In terms of the second team, Garnett scored the highest, and together with LeBron James, he won the two forward positions in the second team. Tracy McGrady and Steve Nash took the two guard positions in the second team. Darko Milicic was in the second team. If he successfully gets the second All-NBA team in his fourth year, his "Ace Clause" will also be triggered. He can ask the team to increase his starting salary to 30% of next season's salary cap, otherwise he has the right to terminate the contract. Renegotiate.

Generally speaking, the team will agree, especially for players like Milicic who have finished their rookie contracts. If things go wrong and the other party signs the qualification clause, it will be over.

In terms of the third team, a total of seven people were selected, including Iverson, Carter, Anthony, Bosh, Raheem, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown. Mainly, Anthony, Bosh, and Josh Smith received the same votes. Raheem won the third team forward together.

McGrady was very sad to see this result. Sure enough, the team's record this season was not good and he failed to enter the first team again.

And McGrady is no longer on the best defensive team.

But Liu Mang... Relying on the leap-forward improvement on the defensive end this season, the defensive data of 7.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.4 blocks, plus the real defensive effect, although only tied for second place in the guard vote, it is still second place. Liu Mang, who shared the same votes with Raja Bell, was selected into the first team of the best defensive team for the first time in his sixth season!

Liu Mang, Raja Bell, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, and Milicic were all selected into the first defense.

Duncan only made the second team last year, and after he seemed to be almost gone, he was selected into the first team again.

Milicic defeated Kwame Brown, Marcus Camby, and Ben Wallace by a narrow margin and was selected into the first defense.

Hinrich, Kidd, Prince, Luol Deng, Kirilenko, and Kwame Brown were selected into the second defense together.

Liu Mang was selected to the first team twice, which was expected. In the previous best defensive player voting, Liu Mang received more than 10% of the votes. If it weren't for Garnett's awesomeness and Camby's awesomeness, there might have been another best defensive player for guards.

Of course, some defensive players got old or played poorly this year, which was also the key to Liu Mang's first defense, such as Prince went to the second-to-last team in the Eastern Conference after changing teams, Kidd got old and couldn't maintain his previous defense throughout the regular season, etc.

But it was because of these factors that Liu Mang was already very popular in the second half of the regular season.

Kwame Brown also accepted his fate, third team second defense, and third team second defense again.

In this regard, Liu Mang felt that this was Kwame Brown's limit. He was occasionally selected to the third team in the best team, and the best defensive team was obviously insufficient in assisting defense. Although his single defense was the strongest among the centers in the league, his ceiling was there.

Some things can't be done by just working hard. For example, Carter has always played well, but he has played for nine years in his career so far, and he has only been selected to the All-NBA Team three times this season. Brand has averaged 20+10 since his rookie season, and he only won the All-NBA Team once last year, while Jamison and Odom... have nothing to do with the All-NBA Team.

After getting the first team, Liu Mang was habitually ready to run away to avoid being dragged to treat him.

But...

Liu Mang forgot...

The old teammates who loved to make fun of him and dared to make fun of him in the past have basically all left now...

After getting the first team, Liu Mang was not made fun of, and he suddenly felt a little lonely.

The teammates who won the first championship together that year are only Jason Terry and Kwame Brown, and the teammates at the beginning of his career are only Jason Terry.

Every year, the first team and the first defense will trigger heated discussions among fans and the media. There is no doubt that many people must have players who should be in the All-NBA Team or the All-Defensive Team in their minds but are not selected.

Of course, the players will also discuss.

Seeing his teammates discussing heatedly, Liu Mang shook his head and went to practice with the ball.

Liu Mang found his teammates to practice together, but no one paid attention to him...

"Basketball is so lonely..."

It's a little late. I'm exhausted today. I wanted to write more, but I feel dizzy. I'll continue tomorrow. Today I have more than 7,000 words, which is okay. If it's a little less, please bear with me.
