From today on is the king

Chapter 1563 1562. The Incredible Event!

Compared with the Lakers being suppressed by the five-star Jazz during the regular time, it was necessary to rely on the inside to contain Kobe in the mid-range singles in the last quarter, and win the game with super firepower bursting out of Kobe's resentment against the Jazz; the Suns played against the Spurs, too stable!

约什-史密斯场均31分9板，纳什场均15分10.7助攻，奥尼尔场均15分7板, 卡尔德隆8分5.3助攻，两套阵容的核心都打出了令人惊叹的表现！
The Spurs have a big problem!

The most critical point is over-teaming. Duncan averaged 16 points and 14 rebounds per game, Ginobili averaged 18 points and 4 assists per game, and Parker averaged 15 points and 9 assists per game... The three strongest players of the Spurs scored too little. When it came time to score at critical moments, it was not as clear as the Suns.

The critical moment for the Suns is when Josh Smith and Nash pick and roll, or O'Neal plays high inside, making sure that they must score. However, the Spurs have been working hard in the regular season to develop towards "team and selflessness".

Of course, the strength of the Suns is the key!
In the regular season, the Suns beat strong teams repeatedly. If we really want to count them down, the Suns beat the top five in the East and the top nine in the West more times than the Spurs, almost equal to the Lakers!
The Spurs system, which has already taken shape, is still just a rudimentary system. There are always many problems with the new system. The Suns have two lineups, one for running and bombing and one for traditional positional warfare.

On the contrary, the Raptors were very tenacious. After being robbed of the home court advantage in the first game, the second game relied on Joe Johnson's key three-pointer to defend the second home court 104-100. Then the third game went to Orlando, fought two overtimes, and relied on Milicic to overwhelm the inside. He scored 52 points, 45 rebounds and 17 assists in 10 minutes. The luxurious triple-double helped the Raptors regain the home court advantage 131-129.

Except for the obvious fact that the Magic suppressed the Raptors in the first game, the two teams played evenly in the next two games. The fans thought that the Magic would be sure to win the first game after grabbing the home court advantage. Now it seems that everything is unknown.

……

……

"Carlos is so useless! After giving them so many suggestions, they were beaten 3-0." Liu Mang complained while looking at the white clouds outside the window.

"In fact, they did very well. They almost won two games. Without Kobe's two buzzer-beaters, they would be 2-1." Tracy McGrady has a different view.

"If you lose, you lose, no matter what the reason is." Liu Mang replied.

McGrady understood Liu Mang's pun, and said with a smile, "I understand, we are fine, and the teammates are worried that you will get angry."

"Hmm..." Liu Mang continued to look at the white clouds outside the window...

On May 5, Liu Mang flew back to Atlanta with his teammates.

Yesterday, the Eagles were dragged to the fifth game by the tenacious Bulls, 82 to 75. The Bulls won a game in the second home with their rough defense.

The scale of whistleblowing in this game is very large, which is extremely beneficial to the Bulls. It is hard to say that there is no intention of the league to want the Eagles to sell an extra home ticket. After all, nearly half of the playoff tickets have to be handed over to the league.

But the Bulls did defend well. They are better at using that kind of whistle-blowing scale. This scale is not only for the Eagles. The Eagles have a lot of defensive moves and have not been called for fouls. It’s just that the group led by Garnett is better at this style of play.
Since it is the same standard, the Eagles are also convinced. Anyway, it is 3 to 1. Going back to the home court and working hard will probably win it.

The Eagles are quite optimistic here.

For Liu Mang, what is a little bit painful is that the feature "Battle Cry" has returned to level 1, which means he has to defeat Garnett again to upgrade.

However, this feature is specifically for Garnett and will not have much impact on the next playoffs. Liu Mang feels much more comfortable.

What Liu Mang cares about is the Suns and Lakers!

The Spurs were swept by the Suns last night in a 3-1 tie between the Hawks and the Bulls.

121 to 114, relying on Jason Richardson's two three-pointers at the critical moment, and Ginobili's damn layup, the Suns kept the 1-point difference and opened up to 7 points to seal the victory.

This year's regular season, the Spurs, which almost tied the Hawks' winning percentage in the first 05 games of the 06-41 season, fell in the second round, exposing many problems in the Spurs system.

There is one less arrow figure who can contribute to both offense and defense!
Originally, Popovich wanted Artest to take on this role. Artest's performance in the Rockets this year is fully qualified for this task, but it is also fate. Last year, he was eliminated in the first round and offended Artest in terms of offensive roles. The boss is not willing to give more money...

No one expected that the Suns would be the first to advance to the conference finals, and people began to pay attention to this team again.

……

Tomorrow will be the fifth game against the Bulls. The coaching staff has arranged for the players to be very simple, rest!

In fact, in yesterday's game, the Eagles felt that the Bulls were at the end of their blows. They were only behind 0 to 3. They were unwilling to be swept away by the Bulls. They won a game with the help of the whistle.

The next thing the Eagles have to do is not to have psychological fluctuations, just hold the home court steadily.

This is not a problem for the Eagles, after all, they lead 3-1.

But... On the day the Hawks returned to Atlanta, several things that were almost forgotten were announced!
When Adam Silva started to turn from the business side to some management and operation things, the first thing he did was not thinking about how to make the NBA better, as if he wanted to announce that his time was coming, and he liked to make changes in some forms.

Best Defensive Player, Best Rookie Team, Best Team, Best Defensive Team, these awards have not been announced until now... This is the formalism of Adam Silva.

Originally, the awards were announced one by one in the past, but this year Adam Silva was divided into three parts. The first two parts were good, both of which were in the first round.

At 5 o'clock in the morning on May 14th, when the NBA officially announced the four major awards, people remembered that these awards have not yet been announced!
In terms of the best rookie team, Luis Scola, who played 65 games and averaged 19 points and 7.1 rebounds in 3.4 minutes per game, was selected to the rookie second team. This year's best rookie team was so hot compared to last year's draft, and the faces of those "experts" and "famous scouts" were swollen.

But at any rate, Juan Navarro, Al Thornton, Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, and Al Horford were five players who averaged double figures per game.

If Scola had more playing time, scoring in double figures should be no problem.

In terms of the best team, Liu Mang, Kobe, Paul, Duncan, James, and Milicic were selected for the first team, and Kobe and Paul got the same number of votes.

Nash, Iverson, Deron, Josh - Smith, McGrady, Garnett, Nowitzki, Yao Ming were selected for the second team.

Ginobili is also a strange person. He got the best team for the first time in his career as a substitute, and was selected to the third team with Parker, Roy, Reed, Iguodala, Boozer, Gasol, Bynum, and Kwame Brown.

There have been too many tie votes this year. Except for Liu Mang’s first votes breaking 60, only James has more than 65 first votes and got 35 first votes. Even Kobe and Paul only have the same 59 first votes. Duncan has 40 first votes.

Milicic was elected as the first-team center, only having 3 more first-place votes than Yao Ming, the second-team center, but Milicic's total vote rate was much higher than Yao Ming.

And Bynum and Kwame Brown both got 15 first votes, and O'Neal, who was tragically excluded from the best center, had 10 first votes...

It's so confusing for a center to only choose one position, let alone other positions.

In short, this time the NBA will spend a lot of money to build the best team trophy...

The top nine in the Western Conference this year except the Spurs won the regular season, and the other teams did not lose to anyone in the regular season. Those who had the right to vote cast their votes for those they admired more. Nowitzki was pushed to the second team... Although his personal performance is worthy, the team as a whole is still not good, which largely shows how fierce the competition for the best team this year is.

It's the best defensive team...it's easy...

Liu Mang, Kobe Bryant, Garnett, Duncan, and Milicic joined hands in the first defense.

In the second defense, Chris Paul, Prince, Artest, Josh Smith, and Dwight Howard were selected together.

Raja Bell, Iguodala, Kwame Brown, Hinrich, James, and others also had a high number of votes, but these ten people did not have a tie, so they unfortunately lost the election.

Kwame Brown, who just got home and learned that he was not selected for the All-Defensive Team, felt like tears were flying...

Who is Kwame Brown this season? He only averaged 31 minutes per game, 15.3 points and 11.9 rebounds per game. It is already a miracle that he can squeeze Howard out of the best team. If Howard is squeezed out of the best defensive team... that would be too useless.

As soon as Liu Mang, San Niu and the others got home, they saw the live broadcast of the press conference.

This time the award was presented very suddenly, just like the MVP, it came suddenly, without any prior notice, and it went directly to the official press conference.

Liu Mang guessed with his toes that it was the idea of ​​the bald vice president. There will be more and more such things in the future, so Liu Mang chose to get used to it.

Both the rookie lineup and the double team were announced. Liu Mang was very satisfied to see that he had been in the double team for two consecutive years. This season, he averaged 37 minutes per game and 3 blocks per game. He fought so fiercely. If he didn't get the first defense, Liu Mang should cry...

Because of various relationships, Liu Mang played very hard on defense in the regular season this season. In addition, McGrady also worked hard, and with the help of Wade, Liu Mang's defensive statistics were very good. He impressed the head coaches of each team very deeply. He was selected for the first defense for two consecutive years.

"Dinna, I'm going to sleep for a while, after lunch, come with me to get two first-class trophies!"

"Trophy!" Little Lolita, a trophy lover,'s eyes lit up, "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...uncle, Dinah will gently wake you up for lunch...ah...uncle, come quickly!"

As soon as Liu Mang went upstairs, he heard screams from downstairs, thinking something happened to little Lolita, so he hurried down.

"What's the matter, Dinah, did she get cut by a fruit knife or what?" Liu Mang ran to the little Lolita, and saw that the little Lolita looked panicked, but it didn't look like fear. Instead, she had the feeling of winning the lottery after her house was on fire...

And pointing at the TV!His mouth was so wide that he couldn't speak.

Liu Mang followed the little Lolita's fingers and looked at the TV...

A small statue with its hands spread out in a defensive posture stood on a platform, the most obvious word on the platform was "DPOY", and Liu Mang felt like he had seen that face before...

"Fuck! Isn't this my face?"
