From today on is the king

Chapter 1197 1196. The Two People Who Made Liu Mang Jealous
"Ding... The new generation of player king series tasks: The future is yours has been completed, the strongest suppression task: Strangling the Flash is to be started. If Dwyane Wade fails to lead the team to the Eastern Conference finals of this season's playoffs, the task is considered complete. If Dwyane Wade leads the team to the Eastern Conference finals of this season's playoffs, the host needs to lead the team to defeat Dwyane Wade. Task reward: talent skill fragments. Failure penalty: The new generation player king series task failure."

I am finally coming!
It has been four years since this task was triggered in 2002. Liu Mang has been waiting for four years, and now is what he has been waiting for!
As Liu Mang expected, suppressing Wade was the hardest part.

In the first round of the Heat's revenge against the Bulls, O'Neal was the key. O'Neal averaged 33 points per game against the Bulls. Without Eddie Curry, the Bulls' inside line was like a cash machine for O'Neal. Chandler's defense against players like Yao Ming and O'Neal was blown to death every time.

But in the second round of the series against the Nets, when O'Neal was targeted by Kidd, the confrontation between Wade and Carter was the key.

Carter averaged 30 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Wade averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists per game. One is like Jordan, and the other is like...the nurse of the Heat, who is also a father and a mother...

When Wade encountered Kidd's defense, he was able to play such a performance, which was much better than James' performance in the second round.

Of course, this seems normal to Liu Mang. In the original time and space, although there are many things that are debatable, Wade is the one who has the last laugh this season in the original time and space. He is the championship MVP, and it is normal to play such a performance.

Therefore, it is normal for Wade to become the protagonist of the strongest suppression task, in Liu Mang's view.

However, facing Kidd with such statistics, Liu Mang feels that Wade seems to be much stronger than when he was in the third grade... After all, Wade is already 24 years old.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang couldn't wait any longer, Wade was so strong, Liu Mang was not the same as two years ago!

……

……

"In the future, I hope you can be my enemy"

It is different from what Duncan said to James after 10 years of playing, which was considered by many people to be a "handover of the scepter".

Duncan was in his 30s at that time, and it seemed that compared with the first eight years of his career, there was a significant decline. James led the team to the finals alone in the fourth grade.

As for the original time and space, seven years have passed since Duncan said those words, stroking James' Ginobili-style hairstyle... I can only say that the old man is a bit bad...

And after Liu Mang said those words to James, the media learned what Liu Mang said by reading lips, and the media wrote it as encouragement to James, and Liu Mang's desire for an opponent who could fight.

Liu Mang is used to the media's strange understanding. If reporters don't write like this, how can there be so many stories of love and hatred, brotherhood, love and hatred in the NBA?

Teams with three consecutive championships always have a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat. If the Eagles win three consecutive championships this season, the Maimang combination is bound to have a profound impression of dominance like the OK combination or the Picho combination after the first three consecutive championships.

Moreover, compared with Jordan and O'Neal, Liu Mang's strongest helper has changed, and it has changed from the most suitable helper for Liu Mang to a helper with most of the same functions as Liu Mang, that is, there is a large overlap in positions, but Liu Mang still completed the defense and won 73 wins. After a slack game in the playoffs, he has won 8 consecutive victories.

Liu Mang looked at what the media wrote, and even he believed that he meant it...

……

After the Eagles finished the second round, the remaining three awards of the season were announced.

On May 5, after the media and the head coaches voted, the league's best rookie lineup was announced.

The best team voted by the media.

As for the defenders for the first team, Liu Mang was selected for the first team with 122 unanimous votes, and Kobe and Nash tied the votes!Kobe got 62 first votes, Nash got 55 first votes, but Nash got a little more second votes. With the same score, the two tied for the second most votes with guards, and they were selected for the first team of the best team together.

As for the forwards, McGrady and James won two teams. McGrady averaged 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game. The average playing time is only 31 minutes per game.

James, second in scoring, averaged 30.5 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Surprisingly, he averaged 30.00 three-pointers per game with a 1.6% three-point shooting rate of [-]% this season, and he also led the team to the playoffs. Breaking through the first round may also increase the impression points of the media in the second round of voting, overwhelming Nowitzki and Duncan to be selected for the first team.

As for the center, O'Neal is still more popular with the media. O'Neal beat Yao Ming who got 66 first votes with 51 first votes, defeated Yao Ming with a slight lead of 10 points, and was selected for the first team.

For the second team, Dwyane Wade, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, and Yao Ming were selected together.

For the third team, Steve Francis, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, Sean Marion, and Kwame Brown were selected together.

The best defensive lineup, the first defense was once again unable to be selected. The head coaches voted with their own opinions. In the end, seven players were voted for the first defense.

The only unanimous vote is Andrei Kirilenko.

Jason Kidd, Tayshaun Prince, Kobe Bryant, Andre Kirilenko, Ron Artest, Marcus Camby, and Ben Wallace were selected for the first defense.

There are also as many as six people in the second defense. Chauncey Billups, Dwyane Wade, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Kwame Brown were selected for the second defense.

This is the most chaotic All-Defensive Team ever.

In addition to the separate voting where the center occupies a position, there are five forwards and defenders selected to the best defensive team, and the forwards and defenders selected to the best defensive team each account for more than 90.00% of the votes.

Liu Mang saw that he was ranked sixth in the defender's vote list, with only 21 points...

The surprising thing is that McGrady and Kwame Brown were selected for the second defense at the same time, and Prince was selected for the first defense again. I thought that Kidd would play an excellent defensive performance as always after recovering from health this season.

But McGrady and Kwame Brown are both best teams...After the Hawks players watched the live broadcast of the press conference announced by the best team and the best defensive team, both McGrady and Kwame Brown felt Liu Mang's envious eyes.

But both feel great!I was finally envied by Liu Mang...

In terms of the best rookie team, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Charlie Villanueva, Andrew Bynum, and Andrew Bogut were selected for the rookie team.
Raymond Felton, Marvin Williams, David Lee, Ryan Gomez, and Channing Frye were re-elected to the rookie second team.

Compared with the best rookie teams in the past two years, this year's best rookie team data is worse than the other. Paul, Deron, Villanueva, Bynum, and Felton averaged double figures in points per game. Besides Paul, the others averaged 03 or 04 points per game. Compared with the top five in [-], it is very miserable, even with the Bulls double Jordan combination in [-].

Thanks to the duel between Paul and Deron, otherwise the 05 class would have been too miserable.

David Lee played 49 games, averaging 5 points and 6 rebounds per game, and was selected to the rookie second team. Other high-ranking rookies such as Marvin Williams did not perform as well as David Lee.

Selected to the rookie second team, although it is a small number of outstanding rookies in 06, it is still a big encouragement for David Lee.

……

The selection and failure of the best team will inevitably affect the players currently playing in the playoffs.

For example, Kidd and Wade, Wade was selected for the second team and the second defense. Although Kidd had the first defense, he didn't get a position in the best team.

Kidd didn't have much opinion on Carter being selected to the best team. Carter averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and he was his teammate, but he was very dissatisfied with Wade's selection to the second team.

Kidd publicly stated that Wade is not worthy of the second defense, and expressed dissatisfaction with not being selected for the best team.

And Wade is even more excited. If Liu Mang, Nash, and Kobe hadn't performed so explosively this season, a record-breaking number of wins, and a lead to the Suns' record without a significant decline in the case of Stoudemire's reimbursement.

Moreover, Wade was the only player in the back line who got the first vote besides Liu Mang, Kobe, and Nash, and Iverson didn't get it.

That is to say, at present, the media and experts who voted regard Wade as the fourth guard in the league, which is wonderful for Wade.

Kidd sees Wade as a thorn in his side, but Wade is more excited. Moreover, as the playoffs progress, Wade is getting better and better, and now he is more confident to beat Kidd!
On the west side, Kobe and Nash, who are facing each other, are selected for the same round. The atmosphere of the duel is even more tense. Nash wants to make a comeback, and Kobe wants to beat this same MVP!
