From today on is the king

Chapter 1190 1189. Premonition of Upheaval
Liu Mang was unanimously elected MVP, and the Eagles' explosive strength after losing a game had a huge impact on the league.

This summer, Liu Mang, who finished his fifth season in his career, is only 24 years old. With Liu Mang's "flexible and stretchable" style of play, people don't have much doubt about his peak period until the age of 32. What's more, his three most famous teachers are Jordan and Shuangsha. Mang It wouldn't surprise anyone if he was still an MVP contender at 40 and six.

Even though Liu Mang is of yellow race and his continuity is doubtful, people still believe that he still maintains MVP level strength at the age of 32.

Then the problem arises. Liu Mang is only 24 years old after finishing this season and before the World Championships in the summer, so he still has at least eight years of his peak period. Liu Mang is also an Ironman player. In the next eight or nine years, Liu Mang will be one of the best players in the league.

The young talent and draft vision of the Eagles will allow Liu Mang to maintain a strong lineup for Liu Mang to compete for the MVP and championship during the Eagles captain period.

For some stars who didn't make it to the playoffs, and those who had already been eliminated in the playoffs, after seeing Liu Mang unanimously elected MVP, they started to take action.

Ben Wallace, whose contract has expired, has already begun to look for a next home. After Billups was swept in the first round, he submitted a trade application to the Pistons management.

The Pistons management was very happy, announcing that anyone in the team except Chris Bosh could be used as a bargaining chip.

Bosh said that it was unfortunate because they were in the same division as Liu Mang and had a championship-level lineup, but last season they were in their best year, and they were all killed by the Eagles.

But he was very lucky compared to the other four of the 03 Five Elites. In the first year of his career, he played for a top three team in the division, and he was the top three team in the Eastern Conference for three seasons.

After playing with a group of big brothers for 3 years and Bosh himself has become the strongest player of the Pistons, the Pistons just collapsed and are ready to build a team around him.

Bosh needs attention very much, so he wants to be the boss. In the original time and space, he and Carter could have conflicts in Toronto. It is because he wants the spotlight. The biggest reason for joining the Heat is also because he went to Miami to play with Wade. There can be more national live broadcasts, and James is the last giant to join the Heat.

For the Pistons management, if the previous lineup can't break through the East, then they don't want to spend so much money, and simply start rebuilding around Bosh.

Billups, Hamilton, and Delfino are all good trading chips, and there are some players on the bench that can be traded.

If a team wants Ben Wallace and the salary space is not enough, the Pistons can still eat some expired contracts and use Ben Wallace to sign first and then trade.

Now the picks have been overpriced by the Eagles.

After the Pacers were eliminated in the first round, the management discussed for a few days. Although they were very reluctant to part with the core three-core lineup that seemed to be at its peak, there was nothing they could do. O'Neal, Stephen Jackson, and Artest were all put on the shelves, and they could only rebuild it.

It has been dragging on, which is not in line with Larry Bird's character. Now he has a chance to enter the playoffs every year, but there is 100% no further possibility.

After the Supersonics were eliminated in the first round, their management began the process of further team share transactions. Their boss could no longer drag it on, and the rumors of the Supersonics trade went out instead.

The Hornets with Paul, the Raptors with Milicic, and the Bulls with a group of quasi-first-class stars are all starting to look for stars. They have draft picks and talents they have acquired in the past, especially the Bulls.

There are a total of 10 teams that have advanced to the second round and the first round of the league, and half of the remaining 20 teams have started their own actions.

This is a rare case in NBA history that just half a month after the regular season ends, a large number of teams want to trade and a large number of stars want to change teams, and it is very urgent.

The reason lies in the coercion of the Eagles.

Many stars can't wait to knock down the Eagles!

There are three ways to bring down a team as talented as the Hawks.

One is to use money and the attractiveness of the team to poach their players.

This method is the most direct, but it doesn’t work well for the Eagles. Atlanta is one of the most livable cities in the United States. Economically speaking, it is one of the top ten cities in the United States. The owner of the Eagles has made a lot of money from Liu Wei, and he is willing to spend it, unlike the owner of the Rockets.

Hard poaching is unlikely, and we can only start by giving more opportunities, but it is not easy to do. Among other rookies, Prince is the only rookie who has expired after this season.

The second method is purely depending on the mood of God, waiting for the Eagles to fight among themselves, just like the Pacers, they fought and complained to each other, the spiritual leader of the team retired, no one could reconcile, and they collapsed.

The Pacers were purely a disaster of nature and man-made. It was like Elgin Baylor played 9 games in the last season. The team started with a losing streak and only won 9 games in 4 games.

As a result, he had just retired, and his teammates were as if they were playing chicken blood. The Lakers immediately played a wave of 33 consecutive victories and played a half season of 45 wins and 8 losses. That is, after Baylor retired, the Lakers played a wave of 41 wins.

The cursed situation of Reggie Miller and Elgin Baylor is too rare. Looking forward to this is as illusory as praying to God and worshiping Buddha.

The last simple and rude way is to beat them until they don't want to cooperate together, just like the Pistons, who were beaten by Liu Mang for four consecutive years, and in the fifth year, the Pistons completely collapsed.

If he wants to deal with Liu Mang, who is sure to have a long career, what he needs to limit is the strength of his teammates, and knock them down...

This is a very constructive method. Many teams and stars have already tried it. For example, Yao Ming teamed up with Kobe.

Maybe there is another way, that is to join with a salary cut. Other stars get 1500 million contracts, and he joins with 1000 million...

Generally speaking, the stars who may do this are the top stars in the league, because only the top stars who are also very popular will relatively not care about salary so much.

And it is almost impossible to have a superstar who does this. Face is still important, just like Reggie Miller. In the last year, Pacers fans wanted him to join the Eagles, but he himself was unwilling.

Ordinary stars can't afford to join a strong team for the championship at a young age. It's enough to fight for a thigh when they are old. It's too late for them to make more money.

So under the current situation, the hottest stars who want to change teams, such as the league's first-line, top, and super giants, have no intention of joining the Eagles. They are all looking for other possible paths to the championship.

That is to say, the first choice of the current superstars, top stars, and first-class stars is the third way.

If you can't beat him, find a helper to kill him!
The goals of the players are very clear. For example, Garnett's idea is still traditional. He wants a helper comparable to McGrady next to Liu Mang, Yao Ming next to Kobe, and O'Neal next to Wade.

From the point of view of the superstars at this stage, the main helper around Liu Mang is McGrady, and Jordan obviously has other All-Stars and even the best defensive players besides McGrady, but in the eyes of the stars at the time, Jordan's helper is Pippen.

Superstars at their peak have a confidence that they can make their teammates better.

As for the helpers around Liu Mang, apart from McGrady who was relatively successful when he led the Magic alone, had a scoring title, won for a while, and was a top ten player in the league who was brought back by the Eagles in exchange for Raheem, the other Jason Terry and Rasheed Wallace were all players who were originally depressed or called cancer.

Liu Mang's real helper, in the eyes of superstars, is McGrady, and the others are just additions. They believe that even if they change a group of role players and give Liu Mang a year or two, they can still bring them out.

Therefore, for a superstar like Garnett, the first goal is not to find two ordinary All-Stars, but to find a superstar. If you put together a bunch of change, it must not be as attractive as a 100 yuan one.

Just like Garnett plus Pierce, you need a Ray Allen and you need to add a lot of people, and Duncan plus David Robinson, you just need a group of role players. You don’t necessarily need a third star, and it will be easier to build a team. Although Ray Allen is only a top star, his salary is the same as Pierce and Garnett.

Just when the league was messed up by Liu Mang's unanimous MVP, trade rumors and team change rumors were flying everywhere, the second-round tie-breaker of the series that the Eagles had been waiting for was about to begin.
