Chapter 1558 1557. Boss Qiao’s Peak of Life

In the first round of the Hawks and Nets, Liu Mang didn't need to exert any effort, just get assists, and he had more than 15 assists in almost every game.

There was no other way. The Nets could only prevent Liu Mang from breaking the playoff scoring record.

Last year, Liu Mang broke the playoff scoring record against the Bulls. Although the Nets made the playoffs and this season was perfect, they had no motivation to compete with the Hawks, but they didn't want to become like the Bulls.

Liu Mang was double-teamed as soon as he received the ball. The scoring center Long learned bad things and asked Liu Mang to receive the ball in the high post, and took Du Hong, who was defending him, to Liu Mang, and cut in to eat the cake himself...

There was nothing to pay attention to in the first round of the Hawks playoffs. Just look at how many assists Liu Mang got, how many blocks he got, and whether Liu Mang had a triple-double or something. The fans' attention was on the four rounds of playoffs with different styles in the West and the defensive bloody battle between the Bulls and the Cavaliers in the East.

On April 23, the first game of the series between the Raptors and the Wizards was 99 to 80. The Raptors easily defeated the Wizards, and their strength was obviously suppressed.

The first game of the series between the Magic and the Bobcats was 98 to 89. The Magic won by 9 points. The game was still quite interesting. Granger and Rahim were soaring. Granger played in the playoffs for the first time as a core player and scored 41 points to set a career record. Rahim scored 37 points and 14 rebounds. The two fought evenly, but their helpers were too different. Except for Gerald Wallace, Granger's several starting teammates were not as good as Rahim's starting teammates.

The Bobcats relied on defense to keep the score close in the first game, but according to the analysis of the live commentator, the difference between the Magic and the Bobcats may become larger and larger. After the Magic became familiar with the Bobcats' defense, it would be difficult for the Bobcats to keep the score close.

The first game of the series between the Spurs and the Mavericks had many highlights, but the Mavericks were really miserable. The Mavericks were slaughtered by the Spurs 103 to 127.

As the game went on, the Mavericks returned to last year's style of play, with stars playing one-on-one. Nowitzki scored 27 points with 11 of 19 shots.

As for the Spurs, 8 players scored in double figures, with Ginobili, who came off the bench, scoring the most points with 19 points...

The most shots given on the live TV were Duncan smiling at Nowitzki on the bench, which made some fans who liked the Spurs' style of play this season worry that Duncan would be sent off.

The game between the Suns and the Nuggets was the most interesting. The match between the Nuggets' track and field team and the Suns' running and gunning team was quite exciting. However, in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the Suns relied on the positional battle of the Card-Shark combination to play a 10-4 wave, and reversed the situation when they were 3 points behind, defeating the Nuggets 123-120 to win their first victory.

Suns head coach Gentry let Nash and Josh Smith run most of the time with the running and gunning lineup, and let Calderon and O'Neal come up to make the final decision. It was really unexpected and had a miraculous effect!

Gentry kept speeding up during the regular time, making both teams run as much as they could, and finally used the Card-Shaq combination to make the final decision.

After the first two game days, the styles of each series can be seen.

The three top three teams in the East, the Hawks, the Raptors, and the Magic, have the strength to crush their opponents.

The defensive battle between the Bulls and the Cavaliers.

In the West, the Spurs' game against the Mavericks can basically be determined to be a crushing game. The Mavericks are now unable to play tactical coordination, and they hesitate to play tactical coordination when playing single tactics, because Kidd is basically useless when playing single tactics, and Kidd is the Mavericks' highest-paid and most experienced star in the playoffs.

The two series between the Lakers and the Hornets are unexpected.

The Lakers were upset, and the Hornets originally thought that they were equal to the Jazz in strength but were beaten... These are the two most talked-about series.

The Suns and the Nuggets are really equal in strength, and it is the most entertaining series.

In the first game, Iverson scored 24 points and 12 assists, while Nash scored 14 points and 15 assists. The matchup between VP and VP was very interesting.

Anthony... It's really hard to describe. He didn't win against the 36-year-old O'Neal in the positional battle offense at the critical moment!

O'Neal made two of three shots in the last two minutes, and also made the free throw, scoring 5 points. Anthony only made one mid-range shot, a total of 1 of 3. JR Smith took the ball and threw it directly. Many Nuggets fans complained online that Anthony might as well give the ball to JR Smith. Even if it was given to Iverson at the last moment, it would be more certain. Iverson's hit rate of 7 of 14 in this game was quite good.

The playoffs gradually deepened. On April 27, the Hawks came to the small town of Rutherford and defeated the Nets 121-105 away, making the score 3-0.

Liu Mang averaged 18 points, 14.7 assists, 7.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.3 blocks in three games, and he was as steady as a weight. Rondo averaged double-digit points for the first time in his career, and it was in the playoffs... It was also a ghost.

McGrady was the scoring leader in the first round, averaging 34 points per game, and he had so many shooting opportunities that McGrady was embarrassed.

In the late night of April 28, after all the series had played three games, what Liu Mang cared about most was not his team's 3-0, not his data close to averaging double 15 per game, but gratitude.

"Thank you Xiaopang, thank you Pan Dafu..."

Liu Mang looked at the Rockets leading the Lakers 2-1 and the Jazz leading the Hornets 2-1, and he felt very happy!

Because the Lakers mysteriously lost their home advantage to the Rockets, and Paul was beaten by Deron...

Kobe and Paul, the two biggest competitors of Liu Mang, are getting further and further on the road to MVP.

Will the performance in the playoffs affect the regular season MVP?

Theoretically, the regular season MVP is a regular season matter, but the voting is in the first round of the playoffs, so of course it will be affected by the performance in the playoffs.

In the original time and space, Nowitzki was able to win the MVP in the 06-07 season after being eliminated in the first round, mainly because there was no one who could compete with him.

That season, the Mavericks' record was far ahead of other opponents. The best record in the East, the Pistons, only had 53 wins, and in the West, except for the Mavericks, only the Suns had 61 wins.

Nowitzki's MVP competitors are only Nash and Kobe. Nash has won two consecutive MVPs before. 61 wins and not a regular season champion plus an assist king are far from enough for three consecutive MVPs.

Kobe's data is good, but the record is too poor. Nowitzki can win the MVP no matter how he plays in the first round.

Except for Nowitzki, in the David Stern era, no other player who won the MVP was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

Liu Mang looked at the MVP winning probability evaluated by Sports Illustrated, and never expected that his biggest competitor would become Old Duncan...

Sports Illustrated gave Liu Mang 50% of the MVP winning probability, Duncan 25%, Milicic 15%, Kobe and Paul only 5% left.

Duncan and Milicic, one is sultry, the other is cowardly, honest and simple, no one expected that they would become the pioneers of sniping Liu Mang's three consecutive MVPs.

On April 29, the Hawks defeated the Nets, who wanted to steal a victory and played the strongest defense of the season, 89 to 79, and swept the Nets 4 to 0 to advance to the second round.

……

……

"Is this okay?" Liu Mang held his daughter and watched the news today, not knowing what to say.

"Dad, eat..."

When playing with a mobile phone, it is difficult to distinguish what others feed you. Liu Mang took a bite and found that it was hard. He looked at it and found that it was Avril's toy apple...

On the 29th, the three awards of Best Rookie, Best Coach, and Best Manager were announced.

Kevin Durant undoubtedly won the best rookie award, which was the only consolation for the Hornets to fall behind 1-3.

The best coach was won by Spurs head coach Popovich, and there was no suspense about this.

The best manager... no one expected it to be Michael Jordan...

Boss Joe's career as a boss is at its peak!

The Bobcats, who got Granger and David Lee in the trade, were the biggest winners of all the trades last summer, whether it was because of their relationship with Liu Mang or because they were lucky.

Felton, Granger, Gerald Wallace, David Lee, and Okafor, this lineup has grown and is seen as a new force in the East in the future.

Seeing the old generation of Bulls fans online feel incredible, Liu Mang also feels that it's great to be alive.

In addition to the announcement of these three awards, there is also news that voting for MVP, Best Sixth Man, and Most Improved Award will be held on the 30th. Liu Mang is now more confident.

"Boss Joe can do it! Why can't I do it!"
