Chapter 730

Liu Mang won the MVP of the regular season. In the United States, after the status of the league has been confirmed, there is official recognition. In the previous two MVP battles between Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant, and Garnett, Liu Mang led the team to defeat the opponent, and with the guarantee of the record, the fans in the United States have already locked in the MVP. Even the fans of Garnett and Kobe, although they are not angry, do not feel that their own stars have The opportunity to come back, the record gap, and the data gap are quite large.

In the country, it caused a huge sensation. In the early morning of the United States, that is, at night in China, the imperial court, which is the largest, most authoritative, and most official news media in the country, at 7:00 p.m. In the news broadcast that must be broadcast in real time, the news related to Liu Mang was reported for the second time!

The last time Liu Mang appeared on the news network, he was a Chinese, and even the first Asian All-Star player.

This time, the history created by Liu Mang is even more ancient and vivid!

If Olajuwon who has become an American citizen and helped the US team play in the World Series does not count, Liu Mang is the first non-American in NBA history to win the regular season MVP!

The United States may not care about such things because Olajuwon won the MVP and Mutombo won the best defensive player. There are MVPs every year.

But it is different in China. When the news that Liu Mang won the MVP spread to China in the middle of the night, the imperial court immediately sent someone to interview Liu Mang.

Liu Mang came home yesterday afternoon, and just started celebrating with the three girls, when he was called back to the arena by Coach Price and Kruger, and accepted an exclusive interview.

The interview is very simple, Liu Mang’s line is just one sentence: thank the motherland, thank the fans who support me, I will work hard to create better honor in the NBA and win glory for the country...

Liu Mang was on the news broadcast this time, a total of 32 seconds, 6 seconds for the reporter to ask questions, 4 seconds for him to answer, and the remaining 22 seconds to introduce him as the first non-American player to win the MVP in NBA history, making history ...

It was the first time for a Chinese to win the best player in the top league in the two major basketball games, and the news network helped promote it. When Liu Wei woke up in the morning, he found that the hooligan value had skyrocketed again.

It wasn't as powerful as the 10 million rogue points that the fans saw at first, but it was still a lot. By noon, the growth rate had slowed down, but it had also increased by more than one million rogue points in the morning.

After all, almost 20 hours had passed since the broadcast of the news broadcast. Real sports fans already knew about this. Things, the earliest wave of exposure has actually passed.

Being on the news broadcast is mainly the pride of a Chinese basketball player!

...

Fans are discussing that Liu Mang won the MVP. Some people think it is well deserved, some people think it is good luck, and some are cursing Liu Mang, the voters, and the league for giving Liu Mang the MVP for the market. .

Players in the league reacted differently. Players who have a good relationship with Liu Mang sent congratulations during interviews. Iverson, Stingy Cousins, Reid, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Wade, James... ...After everyone sent congratulations, Liu Mang felt a little weird that when Ma Long was sending congratulations, a fat man also came in to congratulate, and he was not afraid that someone from his own team would be unhappy.

But when Liu Mang saw the news, he wished O'Neill would say something more to make someone even more unhappy.

Jordan, who is busy recruiting a new team, also took the time to accept an interview and sent his blessings, saying that Liu Mang is his best successor.

Some people are yin and yang, such as Brother Iron Blood and Brother Lockthroat among the famous five giants and ugly three-headed monsters in Minnesota.

When Liu Mang saw the news about the two people's interviews, he was very embarrassed when he heard the two people's eccentric words, which made the two people envious and jealous.

Liu Mang's cell phone was also ringing all the time. Calls and text messages had been blowing up since yesterday. Liu Mang answered calls and text messages one by one.

It's just that there is one person missing in these phone calls, these text messages, and the news interviews I saw.

Where is the iron king of Los Angeles?

This guy didn't give an interview, didn't call or text, Liu Mang was very worried about the little blacksmith!

Shouldn't this guy be pissed off?

Liu Mang didn't think this would work, so he had to call to piss him off... No, it was to see if the little blacksmith had anything to do. We were all friends, so Liu Mang was very worried!

Liu Mang dialed the phone with the note "Iron Man", which the little blacksmith had accidentally seen but which made the little blacksmith happy in private for a long time, okay? Iron-Man, in the American cognition, this name, He is a representative of toughness and is very famous... This is one of the main reasons why the little blacksmith still has a little recognition for Liu Mang...

Liu Mang dialed the number "Tie Nan", and a few seconds later, the English version of "The number you dialed is an empty number" came from the phone...

"Damn! This guy actually changed his phone number and didn't tell the young master! How unreasonable!" Liu Mang let out an angry roar!

Liu Mang roared, startling the three girls in the living room and ran to Liu Mang's room, and then saw Liu Mang throwing his phone down on the sofa, spitting wildly: "Damn little blacksmith in Milan, it's not enough Brother! I want to care about you, but I changed my mobile phone, and I didn’t tell my brother..."

Based on the understanding of Liu Mang, how could the three girls not know what happened?

"Uncle wants to bully Uncle Bryant again, uncle is so bad!" Little Loli got under Liu Mang's arm and poked Liu Mang's aggrieved face with her hand and said.

Both Levia and Alexia couldn't stop laughing, and Levia smiled and said, "Ace, do you want to tease Kobe again? I don't want it anymore. I'm afraid you will fight next time you meet."

Alexia and the little loli who got into Liu Mang's arms nodded repeatedly.

"How is it possible! I just want to call him to care about him," Liu Mang immediately denied, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!" The three girls nodded in unison.

"..."

...

Liu Mang regretted not being able to tease the little blacksmith, but he soon stopped paying attention to the MVP.

Forcibly draw attention back to the playoffs.

The championship is the kingly way. If it is too embarrassing to win the MVP, it will be a great shame if you don't win the championship in the end. If you win 70 wins and don't win the championship... Liu Mang thinks about the predecessor of the future Universe team... Immediately Putting the MVP aside, the MVP is just the honor of the regular season that has already been played. Now that the regular season is over, the playoffs are the focus!

After returning to the arena in the afternoon, the coaching staff also gave Liu Mang and other team members a psychological education class to do ideological construction, so that the players can return their attention to the playoffs.

But coach Kruger doesn't need to deliberately do this. Not only Liu Mang, but other players also know that the playoffs are the most important thing. The losses in the past two years have brought great growth to the players.

Before partnering with Liu Mang, they had no chance to win, so their fighting spirit was getting lower and lower, but after partnering with Liu Mang, they felt the feeling of winning in the playoffs, the feeling of obsession, especially After losing twice, make them not want to lose again.

Especially with this group of teammates who may be the best in their careers, they don't want to lose again!

In the afternoon training, the Eagles members were extremely serious. Even if the opponent was the Pistons, the Eagles swept them in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and this year's regular season also swept them away. No one cares.

The example of the Mavericks is there, they beat the Kings last year and were swept this year.

Because of the pressure brought by Liu Mang, in the first round of this year, the dominant teams played desperately and wanted to win quickly, leaving more preparation time for the subsequent series. Liu Mang and his Eagles are the key reason.

You can't be careless, and you can't be careless with any opponent. Only after winning the championship, Liu Wei and his teammates dare to relax!

...

...

Two days passed. , the two series of the division semifinals have finished their first battle.

In the series between the Nets and the Pacers, the Nets with a record of only 44 wins had the upper hand!

Kidd was at his peak, and his dominance in the playoffs was really too strong. Some people commented on the original 03-04 Eastern Conference playoffs in history. If it weren't for Kidd's own knee He and Ben Wallace were knocked out when they were grabbing rebounds, and they lost to Billups with injuries. The Nets may reach the finals for three consecutive years.

In addition, Carter's ability to fight tough battles in the playoffs is really underestimated. In the first game against the Pacers, driven by Kidd, Carter scored 33 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, making him the best defensive player. Popular Ron Artest blows up!

However, the overall strength of the Pacers is really strong, not much worse than the Nets. Carter broke out. Kidd also scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists. The Nets only won by 3 points, 98 wins. 95 to beat the Pacers.

But the most important thing is that the Nets defeated the Pacers away!

The Nets, which only won 44 wins in the regular season, defeated the Pacers, the second-best Pacers in the league with 60 wins!

This is the scariest thing.

However, after the game between the Lakers and the Spurs on the 29th, Duncan watched the 14 championship banners of the Lakers for a long time after the game...

With 31 points, 22 rebounds and 5 blocks, Duncan had the upper hand in the matchup with O'Neal for the second consecutive year, and he played desperately in this game, because Malone and Kobe, two mid-range shooting artifacts, showed their power again!

Although Bowen was beaten by Kobe in the playoffs in the past, at least he could restrain Kobe a little bit. Malik Rose, who seemed to be useful in the regular season, only knew Kobe's horror and Bowen in the playoffs. How difficult it was before...

Kobe had 30 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Malone had 17 points and 7 rebounds. Although O'Neal was suppressed by Duncan, he also scored 18 points and 11 rebounds. Stand up and grab a rebound.

The most important thing is that Ginobili was defended by today's crazy Kobe, who scored 3 of 11 and only scored 8 points. As Duncan's strongest teammate, Ginobili will not be able to play in the playoffs, and Parker is still immature. Not too high, Duncan fell into a state of isolation.

It is said that Duncan was a real single-core in 2003, not casually.

88 to 79, the first game of the series between the Lakers and the Spurs, the Lakers defended the first home court.

Liu Mang watched the live broadcast of these two games. Both games were very good. The only thing that makes Liu Mang feel a little inexplicably sad is... Can he still see that magical 0.4 seconds?

...

Time passed quickly, and in a flash, it was April 30, the day when the Eagles played against the Pistons at home.

With the start of the second round, the MVP of the regular season was announced, and other individual awards for the regular season began to be announced one after another.

The best manager was won by Eagles owner Price. This is also an award without any suspense.

The best rookie was still won by James. Although Anthony made it to the playoffs, his performance in the playoffs was too eye-catching. With this prerequisite, the league originally wanted to praise James. Anthony killed himself. In nightclubs, photos of gangsters gesticulating with people who looked like gangsters wearing big gold chains and diamond watches were circulated. The league completely gave up on Anthony. After leaving Boozer, his statistics are a little better than before. His average performance of 21.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game is well deserved. The alliance is too much first and second.

The best coach was won by the head coach of the Grizzlies, Hubie Brown, who promoted a team with the second pick to a 50-win team, which was more favored by the media than the Eagles' 70 wins. Even the Pacers' coach Carlisle The number of votes is higher than that of Coach Kruger.

Coach Kruger can see it, and it's not that he hasn't won the best coach, and the Eagles didn't pay much attention to this award.

But on the morning of the game between the Eagles and the Pistons, when Liu Mang came to the arena for training early, he saw his teammates coming early again, and immediately knew that something was going to happen.

Today is the day when the three regular season awards: Best Sixth Man, Most Improved Player, and Best Defensive Player are announced.

Jason Terry is looking forward to whether he can get the award for the first season of his career, and Liu Mang is also very interested in whether he can get the Most Improved Award.

Very interesting!

Jason Terry is not particularly stable in getting the best sixth man. Jamison, Harrington, Ginobili, Bobby Jackson... are all strong contenders, and the statistics are not worse than Jason Terry. In terms of advantages, the biggest advantage is the record.

Seeing the expectant and nervous Jason Terry, Liu Mang couldn't help joking: "Jason, isn't he the best sixth man, it doesn't matter if you don't get it, I'll give you one... ouch, really , I won’t give it to you...Hey, you are alone, come on, you chase me, if you catch me, I will let you...Damn! Come to help..."

Liu Mang was chased and beaten by Jason Terry and Rasheed Wallace...

This scene has made the tense training atmosphere of the Eagles players a little more relaxed these days. Coach Kruger didn't care when he saw this scene when he came. You can't relax while playing the Pistons, but you can't be too nervous. After all , the opponent is just the Pistons.

Liu Mang's "team buff with strong mentality" has a strong influence on the team.

Finally, at nine o'clock in the morning, the NBA officially announced that Jason Terry defeated Jamison, who had 31% of the votes, with 33% of the votes, and won the best sixth man.

With 55% of the votes, Artest was more than double the 26% of the second Ben Wallace, and won the best defensive player without any suspense. .

As for the Most Improved Award, Liu Mang was shocked when he saw that he had won 97% of the votes, while Zach Randolph, who was ranked second, had only 2%.

He thought that he might become the first player to win the MVP and the Most Improved Award at the same time, but he didn't expect it to be so unsuspecting! No more suspense than MVP!

An MVP, won this award, Liu Mang was constantly teased by his teammates.

And Liu Mang came up with this sentence: "How much is Randolph not liked by the media?"

...

...

The Eagles won the scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocked shots champion, MVP, best sixth man, most improved award, two data champions, and one regular season award. The first five fans thought it was normal. The scoring and rebounding champions have been locked in for a long time in the regular season. Liu Mang's MVP has also been locked in for a long time. The best sixth man narrowly won. Ratliff has no one in the league in blocking shots in the past few years. , and Jason Terry and Ratliff deserved it.

But the Most Improved Award is not only ridiculed by teammates, but also a topic of ridicule by fans. Even on major websites, the topic of Liu Mang winning the Most Improved Award surpassed Artest to become the first. A small forward who got the best defensive player.

In addition to the announcement of the awards, today, the first match of the second round of the two series is also a topic of discussion.

The most powerful forward battle between Garnett and Webber is naturally not low in topicality.

The series between the Eagles and the Pistons is also very topical.

Although the Eagles have swept the Pistons in the past two years, fans feel that the Pistons may explode because of this. The coach Larry Brown is still very famous, especially if he has done such a thing.

The previous 76ers were swept by the Pacers in the second round of the playoffs in 1999, and were once again eliminated by the Pacers 4-2 in the second round of the 2000 playoffs. The Pacers, who had just reached the finals last season, were eliminated in turn, and their revenge was successful.

So, when Liu Mang was interviewed before the game, he was asked about this matter, and asked Liu Mang's confidence in this round of the series and what he thought of the Pistons.

Hearing the reporter's narration, and the obvious provocative tone, Liu Mang saw that it was a reporter from Detroit. Liu Mang said disdainfully: "Pistons? You should first ask their players to see how many players they have. Confidence, can you win me a game? If they can win a game, then their two-year rebuilding has been successful."

When the reporter who asked the question saw Liu Mang turn around and leave after speaking, he was so angry that he was going to explode!

Too arrogant!

...

Liu Mang, who returned to the locker room, didn't care at all when he saw the speechless expressions of his teammates.

Can't you be too proud of what you said? Liu Mang's teammates can only be careful not to capsize in the gutter.

The Pistons have already been beaten to the point where they lose their fighting spirit when they meet him. Liu Mang knows this best. Not only does he despise his opponents strategically, Liu Mang despises them directly.

Liu Mang took twice as much Gatorade and drank it. At this moment, the consequences of pretending to be aggressive came...

"Ding...Temporary mission, the dignity of Detroit."

"Because of the past two seasons of the host's playoffs and the crushing of the Pistons in the regular season twice this season, the Pistons players have the mentality to protect their last dignity and fight against the host's team. Temporary mission: Detroit's dignity trigger."

"Dignity of Detroit: The Pistons regain their fighting spirit temporarily. The host needs to lead the team to beat the Pistons by at least 15 points at home. Task reward: Personal buff: Trembling Steel City. Failure penalty: The Pistons fully restore their fighting spirit and Come down and play against the host's team in a state of excitement."

"Pfft..." Liu Mang sprayed water directly on the face of Boozer who had just passed by. Boozer looked at Liu Mang with a resentful face, and really wanted to beat up this pretender, but no other boss did it first. There is no chance to sneak a sneak peek at Liu Mang.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liu Mang quickly took a towel to wipe Boozer, but the more he wiped, the more grief and anger Liu Mang felt.

At this moment, Liu Mang once again understood the truth: pretending to be aggressive is cool for a while!
