Chapter 359 357. Come On! My King"!
On April 26, the third game of the series between the Eagles and the Raptors was played at the Toronto Aviation Center.
Compared with the despair felt by the players, the fans are often more naive. No matter what the playoff ranking is, they watch the game with hope, always expecting the team to win.
When the Grizzlies moved from Canada, Canadian fans who just fell in love with the Raptors and the Grizzlies began to panic, so this season's support for the Raptors reached the highest level since Canada had an NBA team in 1995. peak.
Especially in the playoffs, there is no such thing as an endless supply of tickets. If your home fans don't buy them, the visiting team fans who come with the team will also buy them.
The Air Canada Center has 23,755 performances, and the audience is full. I hope the Raptors can cheer up, because in the first round of the 5-game 3-win system, they will be eliminated if they lose another game.
There is a record in the NBA, that is, in the case of 3-0, there is no chance of a comeback in the first round...
But obviously they are going to be disappointed. Although the current core of the Raptors, Antonio Davis, told the media that they will definitely be able to reverse the promotion, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a refusal to admit defeat, because of the professionalism of a professional player , Mentally unwilling to admit defeat.
It's like when Monta Ellis and James, who can score 55 points in a single game in their rookie year, led the Bucks to the playoffs in the 2012-2013 season and faced the Heat led by James, 0-0 At that time, Ellis said in an interview that he would sweep the Heat with a black eight, and said that he would create a miracle to reverse the Heat after 0 to 3.
It wasn't until after being abandoned by the Bucks that Ellis said in an interview: Do I want to say that we are doomed?
The same is true of Kobe in the second round of the 11-12 season. Even though the Mavericks led 3-0, he still stubbornly expressed his belief in a comeback in an interview.
Antonio Davis has that mentality, the mentality of a competitor.
But the reality is cruel. The Eagles did not relax at all because of the 2-0 lead. The huge gap in strength between the two teams was very obvious when they played the game seriously.
The Eagles started a defensive battle with the Raptors in the same away game as in the first game.
When the Raptors focused on Liu Mang, Raheem and Jason Terry told the Raptors why Liu Mang had so many one-on-one scoring opportunities in the regular season, because they Two people who contain the defense are strong enough!
89 to 77, the Hawks did not give the Raptors a chance to counterattack. Raheem scored 11 points in the middle of the third quarter to widen the point difference to 20 points. He scored 33 points and easily killed the game.
When Liu Mang scored 37 points in the first game and 25 points in the second game to attract the Raptors' defensive attention and force the opponent to start assisting in the attack from outside the three-point line, Raheem and the center Scored easily from Jason Terry, who was shooting everywhere.
Although the distance from the so-called Big Three, the Eagles are a little far away, mainly Jason Terry and Liu Mang. Here, one ceiling is not particularly high, and the other is a young rookie.
But their functions are very similar to those of the Big Three. When the opponent does not have a strong defensive system, as long as even one person can attract the opponent's defensive attention, the other two can penetrate the opponent.
3 to 0, the Eagles easily swept the Raptors in the first round and advanced to the second round!
...
...
The Eagles defeated the Raptors to advance to the second round of the playoffs, not the first team to advance.
In the West, the Lakers and Kings both swept their opponents 3-0 the day before, and the Mavericks also swept the Timberwolves 3-0 after the Hawks series ended. The Wolves continued their tragic first-round tour.
However, the series between Duncan and Malone was unexpectedly tight. The Utah Shuangsha really deserved to be the Utah Shuangsha. After the first two away games, they returned to Salt Lake City, which is known as the home of the devil. The Jazz beat The Spurs also had a 91-75 victory over the Spurs, and the big score became 1-2.
In the East, except for the Eagles sweeping their opponents 3-0, the other three rounds of the series were all 2-1.
After a happy night at a nightclub in Toronto, the Eagles returned to Atlanta, and they had to rest for a few days to wait for the next round of opponents to come out.
It's really hard to say who the opponent in the second round is. The 76ers led by Iverson and Mutombo still have the strength to fight. The Pistons are not easy to match, but they are too young and have not reached their peak. Tiger's lineup is also complete.
...
...
On April 28th, the Eagles returned to Atlanta. On this day, the league's best sixth man and most improved awards were announced. The best sixth man did not exceed expectations. Liu Mang averaged 20 points per game. Get the first best sixth man in the history of the Eagles.
In addition to Liu Mang, the best rookie team is composed of Warriors' Jason Richardson, Jazz's Andrei Kirilenko, Grizzlies' Shane Battier and Gasol .
Because of Liu Mang, the first team of the All-Rookie team this season is a little better. One averaged 20 points per game, one averaged 17 points per game, one averaged 14 points per game, and the remaining two also exceeded 10 points. The only five players averaging double figures this season are all rookies.
The second team... There is no one scoring in double figures per game, consisting of Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson, Selke Rebrascia, Jamal Tinsley, Eddie Griffin, Joe Johnson.
When Liu Mang saw this lineup, he felt that the 2001 class was actually not bad in the future! The main reason is that the performance in the rookie year was too unsatisfactory. In fact, this is not to blame the players. Sen Chandler, Eddie Curry, and Jason Richardson are all rookies with All-Star talent, but they don't have the outstanding immediate combat power like Gasol.
If it is placed more than ten years later, such a top-five pick talent will definitely make every team crazy, but here still retains the expectation for rookies like Duncan, Iverson, and Brand to enter the NBA. At least the era of top-notch stars will always give people the impression that this year's draft is really rubbish.
The most improved award was won by Jermaine O'Neal of the Pacers. O'Neal averaged 19 points and 10 rebounds per game this season. Last season, he averaged 12.9 points and 9.8 rebounds. The data of the second and third children with 15 points has skyrocketed to the horror of the league's top scorer averaging 27 points per game, but the improvement of 6 points is not bad, because there are no other players who have improved more. On the contrary, if there is an award for the fastest regressor , many people are strong competitors.
Liu Mang and coach Kruger received the trophy from the future bald Adam Silva, who has an extremely keen sense of business development, at the press conference for the regular season awards held in Atlanta. Liu Mang held the trophy Three trophies, one for the best rookie, one for the best sixth man, and one for the first team of the best rookie team!
...
...
Liu Mang's apartment.
Little Lolita Dinah is playing with Liu Mang's three new trophies.
Liu Mang looked at the several trophies presented by Dinah Lolita, such as the three-point contest champion, the All-Star MVP, and the rookie game MVP, plus these three.
Sure enough, as previously expected, the 76ers and the Pistons scored 2-2, and there will be a five-game tiebreaker on the 29th.
The Eagles have not yet determined who their opponents will be in the next round, and the styles of the two teams are not the same at all, so after the press conference at noon, Coach Kruger arranged only regular training for the players for the past two days. Targeted tactical training will only begin after the results of the Pistons-76ers series tomorrow night.
Liu Mang looked at Dinah who had arranged the trophies on the tea table and was drawing the trophies with a small notebook, then went to the bathroom, opened the system panel, looked at the rewards, and began to giggle again.
That's why don't look outside because...so silly!
A rogue is worth 630,000, and a superstar is worth more than 116,700.
After eliminating the Raptors, they will be rewarded with 5,000 superstar points for reaching the second round, 1,000 superstar points for sweeping their opponents, and 600 superstar points for their statistics.
In terms of rogue value, the increase in the past two days has not been much, and the rogue value of the best sixth man is far lower than that of the best rookie, because the best sixth man is really worthless this year, and the best rookie, if it is not the best rookie The rookie of the season has greatly lowered the average expectation of this award, which is still quite valuable now.
The best rookie before this, except last season's Mike Miller, and put aside the basketball desert era before 1960, from 1960 to 2000, the best rookie during the period was either averaging 20+10 points per game. A super insider is either a super blue-collar with an average of 15+15 per game, or an ancient behemoth with an average of 30+20 per game, or a rookie who can score 14 points and 11 assists but can’t win the assists king Facing the unlucky Shuangsha, no matter how bad it is, he can still have Carter's performance of 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. They are all proper future superstar embryos, so the best rookie is better than the best sixth man in this year. Attract the attention of fans.
Unlike the best rookies in the future who may not be able to play for two years, the best rookies before Mike Miller basically started as guaranteed All-Stars.
However, the current fans don't value this award, and the reward for the best sixth man task judged by the system is still appropriate, which makes Liu Mang overjoyed.
"Best Sixth Man Random Star Card Elite Edition."
Due to Liu Mang's average of 20.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, the team's bench this season is like playing hooligans. No team will put a player who averages more than 15 points per game on the bench this year. In the nine seasons, the best sixth man has not scored more than 15 points, so Liu Mang's best sixth man won the same votes as the best rookie, so the best sixth man award was upgraded to the elite version.
"Best Sixth Man Random Star Card Elite Edition: Randomly select a star card of a player who has won the Best Sixth Man Award and is at least as strong as a first-class star."
Liu Mang thought for a while, Ginobili, Wang, Odom, Jamison... it seems that there are not many best sixth men who can reach the top stars. The main reason is that this award was taken seriously after 2007. Yes, Jamison, who scored 50 points off the bench before, was very surprised.
Looking at a random star card of Pengci Dashen and a random star card of the best sixth man, Liu Mang was going to draw the best sixth man first.
"Boss of the system, use the elite version of the best sixth man random star card."
"The host uses the elite version of the best sixth man random star card, and will draw at least 85 players who have won the best sixth man."
"Wait a minute for the boss of the system, that is to say, it's not the attributes of the season they won the best sixth man, but the attributes of their own peak?"
"That's right."
Liu Mang's eyes widened! Could it be that this card will also draw that "King"! When "Wang" won the best sixth man, he should not have reached the first-class level, maybe 82-33 ability value, but young people are making rapid progress. After one summer, it may be that they are trying to improve after being traded. He was named to the All-NBA third team in his second year and may be one of the best six guards in the league.
"Boss of the system, continue!"
After Liu Mang finished speaking, the lottery continued. A virtual projection that only he could see appeared in front of Liu Mang.
Looking at Jamison, Lamar Odom, Ricky Pierce, Kevin McHale who are constantly shaking and changing... Sure enough, although there are only flashing images and the stars are changing faster and faster, Liu Mang saw it! That "King" with outstanding demeanor who resembles the leader of a certain organization!
Finally, a bright light flashed past, causing Liu Mang's eyes to close.
When Liu Mang opened his eyes, the picture in front of him was still a bit blurry, but the slightly darker blue jersey... There was also a faint 3, didn't the king's jersey number also have a 3!
Liu Mang was so excited that he was about to cry!
That's the "king" who won the assists king with 8 rebounds and 11.2 assists while competing for the scoring title!
Although now it is possible that the "Wang" who was said to be a fat man when he was a child is really just a fat man, but as a member of JDZ, Liu Mang's admiration for "Wang" is like a surging river that is endless and unstoppable like the Yellow River flooding... …
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for getting..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Before the system finished speaking, Liu Mang started laughing, come on! my king!
"Dallas Mavericks Jason Terry Prime Player Card."
"Ha...ah?...Damn!!!!!!!!!"
No. 13, No. 31, blue jersey? your sister! ! ! ! ! !
...
Hearing that the uncle in the bathroom was crying and howling again, little Lolita Dinah was a little puzzled, did the uncle fall asleep after taking a bath? so poor! Uncle must be having another nightmare!
