Chapter 1557 1556. Surprise? Shock?

“Superstar value 476963 points, rogue value 14729969 points…”

Adding the 36,000-point superstar value bonus for the 36-game winning streak, the 35,000-point superstar value bonus for the career mission “Road to the King” after 35 wins over the last-place Nets in the playoffs, the 50,000-point superstar value bonus for the six-time best of the month to lock in the first achievement in history, and some scattered regular rewards from the games, even if Liu Mang drew 15 superstar value draws to experience the star card in April, there are still more than 470,000 points left!

26,900 superstar value points were used to replenish the regular potion, and now there are 450,063 superstar value points left.

“Get another regular season MVP, three consecutive regular season MVPs, if you can win the championship and the finals MVP, five consecutive finals MVPs, plus if you get the first team and the first defense…”

Liu Mang calculated that if all of these were obtained… it is possible to reach 1 million superstar value by the end of the season!

Even if it doesn't work, if you can get good results in the Olympics in August, there won't be much of a problem with the 1 million superstar value.

Of course, the premise is that you can get the MVP and the championship!

At that time, you can improve some physical fitness. If you can improve your explosive power to the first-class level among black people, plus Liu Mang's own flexibility, speed, and touch far exceed most black people...

But this is a bit difficult. It's not easy to draw a fruit that specifically enhances explosive power. Liu Mang's bottom line expectation is to take it slowly and improve it.

Now Liu Mang's strength is basically at its limit. In addition to slowly improving his shooting and continuing to polish his basic skills, he can only rely on improving his physical fitness.

But everyone has his limits, and so does Liu Mang. In the eyes of others, his physical fitness is already top-notch. Everyone always has flaws, even super geniuses like McGrady, James, and Jordan have flaws, such as McGrady's physical fitness, James's long-range shooting feel, Jordan's left-handed flexibility, etc.

But if there is a little chance to become stronger, Liu Mang will work hard, just like constantly experiencing various star cards to find a little bit of room for improvement.

While Liu Mang was watching TV and analyzing his next goal, the online basketball forums were already in turmoil!

Although many people had already speculated that Liu Mang might win all the monthly bests in a single season when the regular season ended on the 17th.

But for such things, the league generally leaves a little room to give future players a possibility of surpassing.

Just like Jordan never won three consecutive regular season MVPs, the NBA always has various "basketball reasons" as considerations.

But Liu Mang's 9 games in April were really too exaggerated, exaggerated to an extreme!

The possibility of Liu Mang winning three consecutive MVPs was also analyzed on TV.

At the beginning of the season, Liu Mang was hardly considered an MVP contender, even if he was always in the top five of the MVP rankings, Liu Mang was not considered an MVP contender.

The achievement of three consecutive MVPs was only achieved by Chamberlain and Bird in NBA history, one was a superstar in the 1960s, and the other was the strongest white man in history, both of whom were special.

But after Liu Mang won 36 consecutive games, the media had to regard Liu Mang as an MVP candidate.

However, even if the Hawks had a 3VP probability at that time, it was still behind Kobe, Paul, Duncan, and Milicic.

But he had 15 Player of the Week awards, an average of 3 blocks per game in the regular season, and was ranked in the top three in the league in scoring, assists, and blocks. He was ranked third among guards in rebounding, and locked in the first place in history with 6 Player of the Month awards in a single season that cannot be broken... and he also had 69 wins in the regular season, which was fourth in history...

With all these factors combined, Liu Mang has gradually gone from being completely ignored by the media as an MVP candidate to the media finding it difficult to find a reason not to give Liu Mang the MVP!

Whether or not you get the MVP depends on data and team record, but this is not certain. In the 1996-1997 season, the Bulls won 69 games, the second in history at the time. Jordan was the scoring champion that season, and was on the first team and the first defense, but the MVP was not Jordan's. This is quite similar to the 04-05 season when Liu Mang ranked first in the scoring list and team record in the regular season, but he was not the MVP.

But this time is different. After many hypes by Liu Mang himself, Little Lolita, ESPN, etc.

In addition to the extra bonus of Liu Mang's "Details" Season 2, which has a total of 20 episodes, bringing far-reaching influence to basketball, Liu Mang's support rate in the media has gradually climbed to the highest level!

80% of the votes for MVP are cast by reporters and TV commentators. Who are these people? The media!

Media support rate largely determines who is the MVP!

However, although the current support rate is high, Liu Mang still tries his best not to pay too much attention to this matter. After all, three consecutive MVPs are unusual. Jordan didn't get it. In the 96-97 season, Malone defeated Jordan with less than 1% of the votes. What if the same thing happens this year...

So Liu Mang tried to stop thinking about the MVP for the time being. If he didn't get it, it would affect his mentality.

The regular season has been played. Whatever happens, it will be what it should be. There is no way to MVP. The championship is the most important.

...

Soon, it was April 22nd. After four days of rest, the playoffs started.

Although the Hawks, the league's No. 1 team, got the honor of opening the playoffs, there were only two live broadcasts of the series between the Hawks and the Nets in the United States, Game 1 and Game 4, and none of the major TV stations had them. For the live broadcast of Game 5, although the league announced that the possible game date for Game 5 of the series between the Hawks and Nets will be May 1st, however, the Hawks’ “vegetarian abuse mania” has been acquired over the years. With the title of "Devil", not many people think that the Nets can win even one game.

Including the Nets themselves...

118 to 78, in the first game of the playoffs, Liu Mang scored 17 points, 11 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in 35 minutes. He helped the Eagles beat the Nets by 40 points without any effort!

Rondo had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, McGrady had 31 points, Marion had 17 points, Wade had 15 points...

How can the Nets play when Rondo scores 15 points?

That's a terrible word.

The strength gap is too huge. The Eagles' regular season wins are more than twice as many as the Nets' regular season wins. When the Eagles are meticulous and go all out to play the opening game of the playoffs, the Nets' You can imagine how miserable it was. If the Eagles hadn't defended throughout the fourth quarter, it would have been difficult for the Nets to score 70 points.

After a 36-game winning streak, the Eagles' coaching staff formulated the adjustment strategy and the players strictly implemented the adjustment plan. They worked hard to regain their defensive attitude and tactical rhythm, and got a pretty good answer in the first game of the playoffs.

However, the Eagles' first game did not receive as much attention as the other three games.

The second game of the night, the duel between Deron Williams and Chris Paul, the defensive duel between Prince and Kirilenko, and the duel between Boozer and David West in the role of pick-and-roll enforcer. , received more attention than the Eagles from the beginning.

But after the game started, people found that it was different from what they expected...

113 to 84!

The Jazz beat the Hornets by 29 points!

Ray Allen made 8 of 9 three-pointers in a single game and scored 36 points in 31 minutes! This is the third time that Ray Allen has made at least 8 three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs, tying Liu Mang's historical record!

Deron had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 14 assists, beating Paul who had 14 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists!

Deron's style of play today was very simple. He didn't play a pick-and-roll, he just bumped into Paul. He was on the same side as Ray Allen. When he rushed in, he attracted double-teams from the wing. After passing out, Ray Allen raised his hand and went in.

Ray Allen's integration is much better this year than last year, and Prince can't do anything about it. Paul's defense was pretty good during the regular season, but he seemed to be being played by Deron.

The key is that Paul played very poorly on the offensive end today. Even though he had 11 assists, his ball possession rate was over 35%! Only 4 of 15 shots were taken.

David West has a hard time playing against Boozer. Boozer can't guard against speed types, but he is very good at guarding against post-up singles and mid-range jumpers like David West. The display is great and the tonnage is great.

Originally the fans and the media thought it was a wonderful battle, but in the end the scene looked less comfortable than the hearty offense of the Hawks against the Nets.

The main thing is the issue of expectations. People had no expectations at all for the Hawks game. When Paul and Deron, the pair of 2005 point guards, met for the first time in the playoffs, people thought it was a spark hitting the earth, but it turned out to be a one-on-one matchup. massacre...

On the contrary, the first game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls was very exciting. Maybe it was because Liu Mang made 3 of 3 three-pointers, Ray Allen made 8 of 9 three-pointers, and Peja, the top shooter among active players, also showed his strength. , made 7 of 12 three-pointers and scored 25 points, helping the Cavaliers and Bulls fight to the end.

But this score... 76 to 72, the Bulls narrowly defeated the Cavaliers at home.

Only two players of the Cavaliers scored in double figures, Peja's 25 points, James' 20 points, and even Billups was held up by Hinrich and only scored 8 points, 1 of 7...

Billups suffered miserably every time against traditional point guards like Kidd and Stockton. Without looking at the data, it is difficult to imagine that Billups, who entered the NBA in 1997, would face players after the age of 35 in his career. Tocton played 15 games and shot 34 percent from the field...

Hinrich defended Billups very well, and Billups couldn't even make waves.

After the first game of the series between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, it was actually pretty good to see the defensive discipline and coordination on the defensive end. It was not like the Spurs and Pistons who were dawdling like that back then. But with this score, fans It feels like the Bulls are going to start acting like monsters again in the playoffs...

Even more ruthless than last year! It was only over 70 points after playing so fiercely.

At 8pm Los Angeles time, the finale of the first day of the playoffs came.

The game process was very interesting to watch, and there were many things to watch. The ratings of this game were very good. Bynum VS Yao Ming; Kobe, Odom VS Iguodala, Artest, they can compete with each other.

But the result surprised the fans!

113 to 108, the Rockets defeated the top and took away the home court advantage!
