From today on is the king

Chapter 1422 1421. Two consecutive MVPs! (seeking a monthly ticket)
On April 4, the league officially announced that Sam Mitchell won the best coach award of the season.

Coach Sam Mitchell helped the Raptors buck the trend this season and hit the best ranking in team history. They also performed well in the playoffs and tied the Magic 2-2.

Although it is a regular season award, the performance in the playoffs will more or less affect the intuitive feeling of voters.

Sam Mitchell won the best coach of the 30.00-30.00 season with 06% of the votes, beating Avery Johnson with 07% of the votes.

The Mavericks, just back in Dallas, are getting ready for Game [-].

If you lose, go fishing, if you win... there is no hope of winning three games in a row.

But at this time, the best coach was announced, and it was not the unanimous general Johnson at the end of the regular season. This brought a big blow to the Mavericks.

When the media flocked to Dallas, the entire Mavericks team was forbidden to accept interviews, and announced to the outside world that they would close the library to think about ways to make a comeback.

Regardless of the record or awards, the Mavericks really have no face to accept an interview.

……

The best coach is Sam Mitchell...

This surprised Liu Mang.

Seeing the news that the Mavericks refused to accept all interviews, Liu Mang felt that the revenge would be avenged!
The Hawks and 28 other teams have had at least one win or loss this season, with only the Mavericks sweeping them.

The Bulls played against the Nets 3-1. For the Wizards, knowing the Cavaliers' weaknesses, they can't take advantage of them, but with Kidd and Carter's Nets, they can still take advantage of them. After all, the Bulls' offensive problem is indeed a bit big.

Although it would not be an upset counterattack, after being beaten 3-0, the Nets struggled a bit and dragged to the fifth game.

The Nets won a game against the Bulls, which gave the Eagles a lot of "material" to learn and study.

The Raptors and Magic are going to play the battle of Tianwangshan, so at least six games must be played, that is, the two teams must play on the 27th and 29th. In this way, the series between the Eagles and the Bulls will not start until April 4 at the earliest, and may even start on May 30.

Since the league adjusted the playoffs system so that the start time of each round of the series should not exceed two days, the schedule of the playoffs has become much healthier, but there are still occasional situations where a team has to wait for six or seven days, but at least there is no such extreme situation as the Lakers 15 wins and 1 loss and the Eagles 16 wins and 1 loss.

The Rockets are really resilient. On April 4, they played 27-2 with the Lakers and dragged the game back to Houston, which made Alexander very happy.

In the game against the Lakers, the Rockets’ home ticket price was the highest among all series in the first round... In the first round, the average home ticket price of the Lakers was $361, and the cheapest ticket price was $150. The average home ticket price of the Eagles was $330, and the lowest ticket price was $106. The ticket price is 365 US dollars...

The minimum ticket price of the Rockets is higher than the average price of the Magic and Raptors.

There is no need to pay wages for the playoffs. Although according to the new labor agreement implemented this season, the league will divide 20.00% five to 40.00% five of the playoff tickets. Those below the luxury tax threshold will receive 20.00% five, and those above the threshold will receive 40.00% five. Those who rent arenas, such as the Lakers, will also be allocated a part to the Staples Center.

But the arena was funded and built by Toyota and the Houston government, and it belongs to the Rockets. There is no need to share this part of the money, let alone the luxury tax, and the salary of the Rockets is far below the salary cap. The combined salary of the three core members is less than 1000 million. If they play the Lakers in the playoffs, the Rockets can earn millions of dollars by playing one more home game.

Only relying on the afterglow left by Yao Ming, the Rockets dared to make money like this. The Rockets, who had owned Yao Ming for eight years, could make Alexander soar from the bottom of the league owner's status to the top few in a few years. Yao Ming's commercial value is too scary.

However, what is even more frightening is that the Eagles are not as stingy as Alexander, but the Eagles also earn a lot.

This makes Liu Mang a bit annoying recently...

……

"Look, Ace, this is the design drawing for the summer renovation of our arena. Do you see any dissatisfaction? I'll ask the designer to change it right away..." Price held a large design drawing and spread it out on the writing board next to it for Liu Mang to see.

I returned to Atlanta early yesterday morning, took a long sleep during the day, and took a rest in the afternoon watching cartoons with my arms around Little Lolita and Avril Lavigne. Today, in the early morning of April 4, Liu Mang received a call from his boss, inviting Liu Mang's family to their family lunch.

Of course, Liu Mang is very happy. The team will have training tomorrow. The program has already been recorded. Now there is no more material that can be used as "material". The teammates also need to rest and recharge their energy for the next round of the series against the Bulls. Liu Mang has nothing else to do except training. Coach Kruger also asked Xiao Luoli to pester Liu Mang all the time, so that Liu Mang should train less to avoid getting injured at critical moments in the playoffs.

At this time, Price invited his family to lunch, and Liu Mang naturally thought that the coaching staff wanted him to practice less.

Liu Mang was also happy to eat big players.

It's just...it seems to be different from what I imagined.

Price's new girlfriend gave the three girls a lot of jewelry, and Dinah, a 12-year-old girl, has...

On Liu Mang's side, Price was insinuating, asking about the renewal of the contract.

Price is a businessman, and he naturally understands that the salary cap of the league has been increasing significantly in the past four years since the 2002-2003 season with Liu Mang and Yao Ming. Although it has entered a bottleneck period of growth last year, Price has also felt it. This year’s ticket prices and advertising fees have not risen. They have reached the limit of fans and sponsors at this stage. A salary cap of 1600 yuan represents what Price knows very well.

With such a large amount of money, based on Price's understanding of Liu Mang, Liu Mang would definitely not give up, not even for a year.

But Price doesn't worry about money, he accepts everything that money can solve, and with Liu Mang around, making money is not a problem.

He just wants to give Liu Mang a better impression, and it is best to get Liu Mang's promise that he will definitely renew his contract.

Liu Mang said why the servant brought up a writing board at the end of lunch, so it was to show the design drawings.

Liu Mang swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of the soup, rinsed his mouth, and spit it into the container brought by the servant in time.

In the boss's luxurious villa, you still have to maintain etiquette, otherwise the little brother will not be able to find the lair when he goes back, and the two girls will complain about him.

Pretentiously looking at it, Liu Mang said with Price's expectant eyes: "Is the arena going to be renovated? It's great, um, the designer hired by the boss is awesome!"

And what Liu Mang said in his heart was... "Young master can understand a hammer!"

Price himself can't understand it. His university is almost the same as the one he bought. He spent several million to sponsor a library to study at Georgetown University. He thinks that Liu Mang, who is regarded as the smartest player in the NBA, should be able to understand it.

Seeing Liu Mang's satisfied expression, Price felt very good.

Gifts were also given, meals were also invited, and the other party was very satisfied with the team's future plans. Price, who has been learning how to get along with the Chinese in the past few years, feels that everything is moving in a good direction.

As long as Liu Mang agrees to renew his contract, even if it is a 4+1+1 contract, then at least until 2012, the Eagles will have Liu Mang.

The Bulls have owned Jordan for only 11 years. By 2012, the Eagles have also owned Liu Mang for 11 years.

Moreover, Liu Mang will be just 30 years old by then, and Liu Mang probably won't have the intention of leaving by then.

This is the conclusion that Price has drawn from his research on Chinese psychology and the way of getting along.

But Liu Mang naturally wouldn't promise easily.

The management cannot be left in a comfortable state. Liu Mang wants an active team and an active management to allow him to realize his ultimate dream.

After three consecutive championships, Liu Mang did not choose to retire and enjoy life, because of that dream that seems unrealistic now.

I had a sumptuous lunch at the boss's house, drank afternoon tea, chatted about life, and avoided talking about contract renewal, but Liu Mang also gave a positive signal.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, just as Liu Mang got home, he received another call from Price. Liu Mang answered the phone speechlessly, not knowing what the boss was going to do.

Unexpectedly, I heard an unexpected news...

……

……

"Congratulations, Ace, this is your third MVP trophy... No, it should be six, seven, eight. I forgot that you still have Finals MVP and All-Star MVP." Adam Silva said while shaking Liu Mang's hand.

"Thank you."

After Liu Mang shook hands, he took the trophy from Adam Silva. The two held the MVP trophy together and took a group photo with a smile in front of the official photographer sent by the league.

After the photo shoot, Adam Silva and Price went to chat.

Looking at the handsome future president of the league who thinks he is very humorous, Liu Mang is very curious, why is this guy still not bald?Could it be that he has been waiting for David Stern to retire in the future until David Stern is 72 years old and his hair is gone?
After arriving home in the afternoon, Liu Mang came to the arena immediately after receiving the call.

MVP!

The league will officially announce tomorrow, and the Eagles will also hold a press conference tomorrow, but the trophies are delivered one day in advance. This afternoon, Vice President Adam Silva sent the MVP trophy!
Liu Mang didn't have any extravagant hopes for this season's MVP. Of course, he won the best of the week 11 times this season, more than the seven best of the week last season, but the best of the month in this season was only once, only in January.

Nowitzki has always been the most popular MVP. Even though Liu Mang ranked first in the MVP rankings for more than a dozen weeks this season, in the predictions before the start of the playoffs, the major media gave Nowitzki the probability of winning the MVP. The predictions were all above 60.00%, Sports Illustrated gave the highest 90.00%, and ESPN also gave Nowitzki a 60.00% prediction.

Liu Mang's prediction probability is only 20.00% to 30.00%, and other James, Garnett, Kobe, Duncan, and others all have less than [-]% probability of prediction.

Holding the MVP trophy, Liu Mang felt incredible!

Both the first MVP and the second MVP, Liu Mang won the MVP with an absolute advantage.

In the 04-05 season, Liu Mang was originally a big favorite, but was snatched away by Nash.

This is the first time Liu Mang has won the MVP in a disadvantaged situation!

……

After exchanging pleasantries with the vice president, Liu Mang returned home.

The trophy was not brought back. Tomorrow's press conference, the first game of the second round, needs to be shown to the media and fans. There will also be an awards ceremony on site.

As soon as she got home, little loli came up to her and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing in such a hurry? What's wrong with your boss?"

Seeing the little girl who was very happy because she swept her opponent in the first round and got a lot of beautiful jewelry at noon, Liu Mang wanted to tease her, so he made a sad look and sighed: "Oh..."

Seeing Liu Mang like this, little Lolita's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, uncle? Did something happen?"

"Dinah, I'm sorry..." Liu Mang had a sad expression on his face.

"I'm sorry Dinah?" Little Lolita was worried and confused, "What's the matter?"

"Alas..." Liu Mang sighed again and said, "Dinah, I have to trouble you to write an introduction card again. I won another MVP for your uncle. What should I do? The display cabinet won't fit!"

"Write a card and get another MVP, that's too bad," Little Lolita subconsciously responded with a regretful tone, and suddenly realized, her eyes widened: "Uncle, you got the MVP, did you bribe the alliance?"

……

……

On April 2007, 4, the league announced the three major awards for the best manager, best rookie and regular season MVP.

Former Eagles player and current Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry won the best manager of the season by winning Peja and Chandler in the summer.

Brandon Roy, who averaged 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, won the rookie of the season without any suspense.

场均32.8分7.4板3助攻1.5抢断2.4盖帽，率队拿到61胜，单赛季20次40+、其中9次50+、2次60+、1次70+的刘莽，拿下本赛季常规赛MVP。

It wasn't just Liu Mang and Xiao Luoli who were surprised, Liu Mang's winning the MVP was much bigger than the sensation caused by Nash's winning the MVP the year before last!

In the original time and space, when the first round was so bad, Nowitzki still won the regular season MVP with 30.00% of the votes, beating Nash with 30.00% of the votes and Kobe with 15.00% of the votes. The main reason is that in the original time and space, except for Nash and Kobe, no one else is qualified to compete with Nowitzki for MVP this season, and Nash had two consecutive MVPs at that time. At the level of P, Kobe's data is enough and his record is too poor, he just made it to the playoffs, but even Nash is so unqualified for three consecutive MVPs, he still almost snatched the MVP away.

In this time and space, Liu Reck had regrettably missed three consecutive MVPs before. Liu Reck's personal performance was extremely outstanding. The Eagles' 60 wins were almost entirely due to Liu Reck's crazy performance in late January and the first half of February. Otherwise, the Eagles would have won 1 wins at most.

It was unexpected to take away the MVP, but Liu Mang voted 55 first votes for Liu Mang. Liu Mang beat Nowitzki with 30.00% of the votes and 20.00% of the votes. The media who won the MVP posted the reasons for their votes on social media.

Liu Mang won half of the 110 first-place votes this year, that is, half of the mainstream media supported Liu Mang's winning the MVP, and public opinion prevailed. Although Liu Mang's winning the MVP was surprising, many fans did not find it surprising.

Lost the best coach, lost the regular season MVP, and may be hacked in the first round...

The extremely miserable Mavericks have instead become the focus of fans and the media. Last night, the Mavericks, who just relied on Monta Ellis' three-point lore at home to beat the Warriors 118 to 115 last night, became the target of the media.

But this time, the head coach of the Mavericks, Johnson, has a little bit of confidence. It is 2 to 3. There is still hope. When he was interviewed, he said: "Dirk is not an MVP? I don't think this is a good MVP selection. We should not take factors other than the game or factors other than the regular season into basketball."

When General Johnson was asked if Nowitzki didn't get the MVP because of his poor performance in the playoffs, he didn't answer about the playoffs, but expressed his dissatisfaction with the MVP selection from another angle.

At the same time, this is also the first time that General Johnson has been interviewed after the announcement of the best coach award.

The factors other than the regular season that General Johnson mentioned were their performance in the playoffs. Factors other than the game, in the media reports, gave Liu Mang an improved status in basketball history off the court.

Liu Mang's MVP award cannot be said to have nothing to do with "Snake Science". After all, about 70.00% of the votes were cast by the media, and only about 30.00% were voted by experts, narrators, and announcers.

As soon as this argument came out, it gave those media who did not vote for Liu Mang the first chance to play it.

Public opinion was also influenced by General Johnson Jr.

Not everyone wants Liu Mang to get the MVP, but most fans don't want Liu Mang to get the MVP. It's just that Nowitzki's performance in the playoffs really doesn't deserve the MVP.

But now the Mavericks are chasing 2 to 3. If the Mavericks finally succeed in making a comeback, no matter how much they were ridiculed before, they will not be remembered by people. The winner is king, and there will be a lot of controversy about the result of this MVP.

However, because the winner is king, Liu Mang doesn't care about negative public opinion at all, MVP is MVP, what you get is always better than "almost got it"!

After Liu Mang won his second MVP last year, he won three consecutive championships. At that time, many fans criticized the league. If the MVP of the 04-05 season had been given to Liu Mang, Liu Mang would have become an unprecedented three-consecutive double MVP. Not many people still remember that incident.

Only when you get it, you will really win the prize, if you don't get it, you don't get it.

……

On April 4th, when the Eagles were on their second training day, the first-round series between the Mavericks and the Warriors came to an end...

2007年4月30号，勇士队在主场以115比89，26分的分差再次大胜小牛队，以4比2轻松淘汰小牛队，成为NBA历史上第四支黑八球队！

Why is 4 to 2 an easy elimination?

It's very simple. After six games, the Warriors won by an average of 14 points. There was no game won by less than 10 points. In the games lost, they lost 5 points in one game and 3 points in the other.

The Mavericks didn't seem to be able to fight back at all throughout the series. The media used the adjective "easy elimination", and there was nothing wrong with it.

Just responding to the fans yesterday, the little general Johnson, who was assuming that his team was about to come back and wanted to slap the media and experts in voting, went crazy at the press conference after being hacked...

"This is the revenge of the Eagles! They targeted us and gave the Warriors a trick. It's not that the Warriors are strong, but they have the Eagles behind them. The bald coach of the Eagles has no sportsmanship. He is afraid of us. He is afraid that we will lose to us in the finals..."

The mad scientist sitting next door was so speechless... Aren't you bald too?
