Chapter 729: 728. MVP (for Subscription)

Last season, after the first round, the rest time between the two rounds began to be compressed, but this season, after the first round, the league can only postpone the start of the next round, and the eight second-round teams get Three to four days of rest.

The first team to start the second round is the game between the Nets and the Pacers. It will start on the 28th. It starts on the 30th, the same day as the Kings' game against the Timberwolves.

Yesterday afternoon, Liu Mang looked at Wen Baker's star card, and posted it in a sad way after Alexia and Levia came back from shopping. Levia was inconvenient for the past two days. The senior sister was kidnapped into the room, and had a deep communication with the body and soul, and finally healed the grief and indignation of losing Anfernee Hardaway's star card.

On the second day, the morning of the 27th, Liu Mang came to the Phillips Arena for training.

After a day of rest and a night of fun, Liu Mang re-entered the playoff mode and arrived at the arena before eight o'clock.

When I came to the arena, I found that several teammates had arrived and started to warm up before training.

Seeing that so many people were there, even Stockton was there, Liu Mang counted, all fourteen teammates of the team were there, and several familiar trainers were also there, and they came earlier than himself, Liu Mang Mang's heart chugs.

This group of people!

"What are you doing here so early?" Liu Mang asked fearfully, feeling an urge to go home for training.

However, the series with the Pistons is about to start the day after tomorrow. The Pistons came to Atlanta yesterday, and the head coach is Larry Brown. He got off the plane and had lunch and started training in the afternoon. You have to hurry up, so this morning from 10:00 to 11:30, there were two 30-minute tactical training sessions, and Liu Mang couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

"The second round is going to be played soon, of course we have to come to training early, we want to win the championship! We can't lose to the Pistons." Jason Terry replied very calmly, as if he didn't see the glare in Liu Mang's eyes. fear.

This group of guys... Liu Mang had an idea, clutching his stomach and yelling, "Oh, my stomach hurts, please help me take a leave of absence, I'll go to the hospital..."

Liu Mang turned around and wanted to run, but almost as soon as he turned around, he was caught by two burly men.

Liu Mang's eyes widened when he saw Rasheed Wallace and Raheem holding his own arm. These two guys were practicing shooting two seconds ago, and they held themselves up in an instant. !

How come I haven't seen these two guys so fast when I usually play ball! Iverson, Kobe, Tracy McGrady and those players have a good time, why haven't I seen the game so fast!

"Ace, what hospital are you going to, are you looking down on our team doctor? Chris, come, show Ace, he said he has a stomachache!" Rasheed Wallace called out, the team's number one team doctor also It was Chris Lear who took over from Steve Callahan as chief team doctor.

Liu Mang immediately said: "It's okay, my stomach pain suddenly disappeared, I'm going to change clothes for training."

The passage of the locker room can lead to the court, and Liu Mang is going to escape from there.

"Tyshaun, Kwame, you guys go to change clothes with Ace, if Ace has a stomachache again, you can help him..."

Seeing the two guards next to him under the command of Jason Terry, one is a dull gourd, and the other is his admirer, Liu Mang felt that the world was dark, why didn't he see this guy playing like that when he was playing? Have leadership skills! He actually used the most honest and most admired guy among these two teammates to stare at him.

With a sad heart, Liu Mang changed into his training clothes, received massage and stretching, and then returned to the field for training.

After returning to the training field, seeing the twinkling eyes of his teammates, Liu Mang silently hinted to himself: "As long as I don't say anything, this group of people will have no face to force themselves! Training training!"

However, Liu Mang had just started warming up, and today he was going to practice a mid-range turnaround jumper from the bottom line on the right side of the basket, when someone came up to him.

"Ace, tell me, if anyone on our team wins the MVP, do you want to do something, such as invite our teammates to have fun?" Jason Terry moved closer to Liu Mang, as if nothing happened. I know it's just a casual question.

"..." Liu Mang was speechless, he knew it would be this matter!

Today is the day when the MVP of the regular season is announced, and in the next few days, major awards will be announced one after another.

As soon as he saw that all his teammates had arrived, and it was only nine o'clock until the warm-up time for training, this group of people came so early, Liu Mang knew that nothing was good!

These guys want to block the young master! I'm afraid I'll be late and I'll run away! Liu Mang was very angry: Is the young master like that?

Seeing Jason Terry, who just came to this position to practice shooting, Liu Mang really wanted to slap this little guy to death, you are behind the basket, what a fucking basket!

The position where Liu Mang is standing now is exactly the starting point of preparing to run two laps around the two connected basketball courts, right behind a basket!

"Ahem," Liu Mang coughed twice, as if he couldn't understand what Jason Terry said: "MVP, this is a good thing. It's natural for someone to get the MVP, but it's his own. Glory, the others let him enjoy this kind of successful solitude silently... Ouch... Hey... Don't... What are you doing... Kimo Chicken..."

Liu Mang was pretending to be aggressive, and a group of teammates pressed towards him...

"Do you still have to face? Can you get the MVP without us? Return your personal honor? Still enjoy the loneliness silently..." Muhammad's electric drill arm began to circle around Liu Mang's head again.

Hearing what Muhammad said, Liu Mang was a little moved. Muhammad obviously wanted to turn Liu Mang's previous words into a joke. Their old teammates knew that Liu Mang was stingy. He said this because of his personality, but some teammates who have only been here for a year may be really chilled, but it doesn't matter if it becomes a joke completely. Muhammad has been able to play for so many years, and his emotional intelligence is naturally high.

Although the MVP is a personal honor, the current MVP is voted by the media, which is very different from the player votes in the past. Players vote, often ignore the record, and vote for the player who has played the best this season in his mind, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The MVP is won in the season that did not make the playoffs.

There are also Russell and Chamberlain. One year Russell won the MVP voted by the players, but the media voted for a while, but it was Chamberlain, and Dave Cowens won the MVP in 1973, but the media Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got a vote.

The current MVP is the best player on the best team. Even in the 86-87 season, Jordan played the strongest scoring performance since Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor, but he still failed to win the MVP.

To win the MVP now, not only must oneself be strong, but also teammates must be strong, and teammates must not be greedy for merit and sacrifice of teammates.

Therefore, when Liu Mang's stats and records have a great advantage, and the MVP is almost certain, his teammates are equally happy.

Muhammad was helping Liu Mang to make up for what he said just now. Liu Mang was not stupid, he understood it right away, and then he was a little moved.

But Liu Mang's affection for Muhammad disappeared immediately. Feeling the attack from Muhammad's electric drill, Liu Mang began to struggle as if he was dying, and immediately got hit on his butt a few times.

A few old men who had worked with Liu Mang for three years grabbed Liu Mang's buttocks and kicked him, as long as he didn't hurt himself, and I don't know who started to pull Liu Mang's ears, pick Liu Mang's clothes, and finally...

A 22-year-old young man in a pair of boxers curled up in a corner, looked at a dozen burly men around him, trembling, and felt very desolate: the promised young master is the future boss!

"Ace, I heard that when Duncan won the MVP last season and last season, he invited his teammates to Hawaii for half a month in the summer." Raheem said threateningly.

"I heard that when Iverson won the MVP in 2001, he rented a big cruise ship, which was bigger than the cruise ship you rented last time, Ace." This is Rasheed Wallace. Scary enough.

"I heard that O'Neill invited Hollywood actresses together..." This is Jason Terry, who is crazy about dating female stars...

Looking at his teammates' attitude of using you as a substitute if you don't agree, Liu Mang nods frantically no matter who he hears...

...

At nine o'clock in the morning on April 27, 2004, the NBA officially announced that the MVP of this season's regular season is liumang from China.

Liu Mang looked at the TV screen, and he got 95 of the 123 first ballots and 28 second ballots, that is, all 123 media and experts with voting rights voted for him, and it was either the first ballot or the In the second ballot, I got a total of 1146 points, beating Garnett who got 10 first ballots with a total of 672 points and Kobe who got 4 first ballots and got 313 points and got 1 first ballot Duncan, who got 105 points in one vote, won the MVP with the highest rate of first votes since O'Neal in 2000...

The teammates have already started cheering. Liu Mang, who should have been happy, is now suffering from heartache!

Painful at the same time, but also painful and happy...

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for winning the first regular season MVP in his career, and the reward superstar value is 100,000."

"Ding...Because the host won the MVP of the regular season, he successfully jumped from a young star to a superstar player in the eyes of the fans, established his status in the league, and established his position in the basketball world in the basketball circles of the United States, China, and the world. Hall of Fame player candidate, get 10,000,000 rogue value."

Just these two rewards made Liu Mang more excited than any reward!

Seeing that he already has a rogue value of more than 97.92 million, as he gets the MVP, there will definitely be a wave of gains, and the goal of breaking 100 million is not far away!

Now, all he had to do was kill Kidd and let his budding talents bloom!

However, Liu Mang is very curious, what if Kidd fails to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals? Liu Mang asked the system curiously.

The system immediately answered Liu Mang's doubt.

"Ding... If Jason Kidd is defeated by a team other than the host in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the mission target will be transferred to the team that defeated Jason Kidd."

"!?" Liu Wei didn't expect this operation!

that whoever? Who is Kidd's opponent in the second round?

Liu Mang was so excited that he forgot who the opponent of the Nets was. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was the Pacers...

Liu Mang stroked it out. Although the Nets only had 44 wins, the "Big Three" were still pretty good. It was easy to win the first round against the Hornets, not much worse than the Pacers' victory against the Heat.

Liu Mang remembers that in the original playoffs of the 2003-04 season, the Pistons were invincible. Except for one team, no team could stop the Pistons. Even the Lakers were defeated by the Pistons 4-1. , and the team that caused trouble for the Pistons was the Nets led by Kidd. Relying on Kidd's super performance in the playoffs, he and the Pistons reached the tiebreaker, and the tiebreaker was against the Nets. only to lose.

And the Pacers are not bad either. They made it to the Eastern Conference Finals and won two games against the Pistons. Although they rely on home court advantage, they are good enough.

Let's fight! Liu Mang is now eagerly looking forward to the two teams fighting...

When Liu Mang was feeling pain and struggling, someone patted his shoulder, and when he turned around, it was Coach Kruger.

"Ace, you did a good job. You are indeed my best student." Coach Kruger left after finishing speaking.

He didn't show much emotion, just like usual, but Coach Kruger praised Liu Mang this time!

This is a rare thing. Although Liu Mang has been improving and getting better every year, Coach Kruger, in addition to accommodating Liu Mang's "nonsense" in tactics, in addition to giving Liu Mang more strength than Liu Mang. In addition to the better treatment of the ball for the same or even stronger players, he usually puts on a bad face to Liu Mang.

But today, Liu Mang did not expect that he was praised by Coach Kruger!

Although it was just a simple sentence, Liu Mang was happier than being recognized by anyone with that kind of recognition.

Just when he was about to cry with joy, he sent a warm teacher-student warmth full of love. His teammates gathered around him. Liu Mang put away his childish mentality and celebrated with his teammates.

Although Liu Mang just got a lot of money from this group of killing thousands of knives, Liu Mang was very heartbroken, but just like Muhammad said, Liu Mang agreed with those words: Without teammates, there is no own MVP!

...

After celebrating with his teammates, at noon, Liu Mang asked for leave during the free training time in the afternoon. When he got home, Dinah and Alexia also asked for leave today, just to wait for the announcement of the MVP award.

When Liu Mang returned home, he rang the doorbell with a black face and asked the bodyguard to open the door.

Red lanterns hang high above the gate of the outer wall of the villa. After entering the gate, the courtyard is red and full of joy. Americans who don’t know these things think they are crazy when they see it. Those who know think that this family is getting married today...

But seeing the three girls rushing out after hearing the doorbell, their excited expressions, and the red wallpaper in their hands, Liu Mang didn't care so much. Little Lolita took a sip on her face, of course the most important thing is to eat Little Lolita Tofu...

There will be another chapter in a while, maybe from twelve o'clock to one o'clock, the typing speed has slowed down, but I will still work hard to write, thank you for the monthly pass! Very grateful, very moved!
