From today on is the king

Chapter 537. 536. Changes in the Nets

New Jersey, the Eagles and the Nets are actively preparing for the game. The second round is over, and the major awards have been announced one after another during the second round.

The best defensive player was won by Ben Wallace of the Pistons. Although he was out after the first round, it did not affect Ben Wallace's outstanding performance in the regular season. Ben Wallace received more than half of the votes, and only Artest, Ratliff, and Garnett received more votes than Ben Wallace.

In terms of the best rookie, Yao Ming won the best rookie with 40.00% of the votes, beating Stoudemire with 30.00% of the votes.

姚明15.1分8板2盖帽, 斯塔德迈尔13.5分8.9板2助攻。

Yao Ming is better than Stoudemire in record data, and the final vote rate is only two percentage points behind, which is really not easy.

But history was made!

This is the first time in NBA history that overseas players have won the best rookie for two consecutive years, and it is the first time in NBA history!
On the domestic side, although Yao Ming was eliminated in the first round, he is his own son after all, much more popular than Liu Mang's publicity at that time, and he is a center forward. Not long after the heyday of the four major centers, a domestic center became the best rookie, which was much more sensational than outsiders.

The main reason is that there was an outside core before, and now there is an inside core. After the domestic football fans experienced the tragic World Cup trip last summer, their expectations for the men's basketball team are overwhelmed. The combination of Liu Mang + Yao Ming has become the new hope of Chinese sports!
Most Improved Award, Arenas beat Reid to win this season's Most Improved Award.

For the best sixth man, the votes are the same as the Most Improved Award, MVP, and Best Defensive Player. There are three types of votes. The first vote is 5 points, the second vote is 3 points, and the third vote is 1 point. Liu Mang got 46 first votes, 40 second votes, and 8 third votes. With 358 points, he beat Bobby Jackson of the Kings with 327 points and won the best sixth man again!

In terms of the best rookie lineup, Yao Ming and Stoudemire were unanimously selected for the first team. The Hawks' backup power forward Boozer, the Heat's main small forward Caron Butler, and the Magic center Drew Gooden were selected for the first team.

The rookie second team led by Nene, Croatian guard Gordon Kirisek, Argentine demon knife Manu Ginobili, Eagles swingman Prince, and Cavaliers point guard Dajuan Wagner were selected together.

The Eagles selected three rookies ranked after the 20th pick, and two of them were selected to the All-Rookie Team. In addition, Liu Mang was selected in 2001, and the word-of-mouth has been rising. Many teams have sent scouts to prepare for the Eagles' trial training to find out information. The draft lottery will be held on the 29th. Non-playoff teams and some teams that have been eliminated have already started draft trials, especially the Cavaliers, Raptors, Nuggets, and Heat. The team and the inexplicably emerging Pistons have already invited James, Anthony and Bosh to try out the three top picks.

In terms of the best team, the OK combination and the two No. 21s continued to occupy the position of the first team. Although the scoring champion McGrady did not make the playoffs, he was the only superstar with an efficiency value of more than 30 this season.

Ben Wallace, Nowitzki, Webber, Kidd, and Iverson were selected to the second team of the best team.

In terms of three teams, Francis, who made it to the playoffs, beat Marbury and was selected to the third team of the best team for the first time in his career. The other four were Raheem, Nash, Kenyon Martin and Peja.

Raheem honored the Eagles, and at least one player was selected to the best team.

For the best defensive team, at the center position, Ben Wallace, O'Neal, and Ratliff got almost the same votes. Ben Wallace led the two behind with 140 points, and the two behind each had 122 points. The three got more than 90.00% of all votes at the center position.

The first team was led by the best defensive player, Ben Wallace, but Ben Wallace did not get the most votes in the first defense, because it was the head coaches who voted. Duncan and Garnett continued to win all the first votes.

For the second team, Ratliff and O'Neal scored the same score and were selected for the second defense at the same time. Bowen of the Spurs, Christie of the Kings, Artest of the Pacers, and Larry Hughes of the Wizards occupied the other four positions.

One third team, one second defense, two best rookie teams, and one best sixth man, the Eagles have at least left their names on this year's honor roll.

……

"Oh oh oh oh……"

Liu Mang saw that the talent skill fragments in the system panel had changed to (3), and he was extremely excited. He didn't have the 5000 superstar value for advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, the 10000 superstar value for the best sixth man, and the 20000 superstar value for the best sixth man in Lianzhuang...he still cared a lot.

Sure enough, the record is king!Honor is king!
Forty-five thousand superstar points, plus three level 4 missions and one level 1 mission in the previous 1 games against the Pistons, a total of 3 superstar points, and 6000 superstar points for the 76 level 4 missions against the 1ers.Adding the 4000 superstar points left before, there are [-] superstar points!

Liu Mang took a look at the system, as well as Madman's 98-99 season star card, Jordan's rookie season star card, Reggie Miller's peak star card, and Atlanta's fury, which played an obvious role.

Fighting Kidd, Liu Mang's fighting spirit burned to the peak!
If playing the Pistons is to prove that our team is still one of the two best teams in the Eastern Conference and a real strong team that should win the Eastern Conference Championship in the regular season. In the second round, we met the 76ers with a real superstar but felt Iverson’s helplessness.

This excitement was also transmitted to the teammates. If the Pistons and the 76ers were to be played, the Eagles could easily win, and the Nets... the more difficult the game, the greater the pressure, but this group of young people were very excited!

……

……

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the Nets are at home, players from the two teams have entered the arena, and the game is about to start.

The Eagles and the Nets will take the lead in the conference finals. In the pre-match interviews, the two teams chose to keep a low profile. The Eagles did not want to make the Eastern Conference finals more difficult, including Liu Mang.

The Nets chose to keep a low profile in order to give the Eagles a face. The Eagles gave them face before and believed that they could reach the Eastern Conference Finals and come to New Jersey to prepare for the game. Although Kidd still hated Liu Mang, he felt that Liu Mang respected him very much this time.

It is true that Liu Mang has always been full of respect for his opponents... The kind of malicious hurt is not counted. The only thing Kidd has a good impression of Liu Mang is Liu Mang's respect for his opponents.

It's just that more than one-tenth of the fan area at home is occupied by fans of the visiting team, and most of them are in the front row, which makes the players of the Nets very upset. Eagles fans and Liu Mang fans flooded into the home of the Nets, occupying a lot of positions.

And compared to the Spurs playing the Mavericks in the West, the Eastern Conference Finals has fans looking forward to it.

The main reason is that the Spurs are already low in popularity, and the Mavericks are also very low in popularity. They even have a lower sense of presence than the Spurs. At least the Spurs still have Duncan, an All-Star starter who was born out of strength. The Mavericks have never had an All-Star starter in team history.

Many celebrities came to the scene of the Eastern Conference finals, such as Bernard King of the Nets, Dominique Wilkins of the Eagles, Derek Coleman, the eliminated 76ers center and former Nets player... Many celebrities of the Eagles and Nets came to watch the game.

In the final preparation stage before the game, after Liu Mang entered the field, he was not surprised by those Nets and Eagles legends, because they also came to the Harbor Center Hotel contracted by the Eagles to rent a suite, and the Eagles also warmly entertained them.

However, when Liu Mang saw Michael Jordan, the basketball god who had just retired for three months, talking and laughing happily with Wilkins and Bernard King, the two biggest celebrities who came to watch the game, he was very surprised!
Liu Mang hurried over to ask the "master" to say hello. If it weren't for Jordan's pretentious words before, although Liu Mang complained a lot, but without Jordan's words, it would not be easy for the Eagles to get on the right track quickly.

"Michael..." As soon as Liu Mang called out his name, he heard Mr. Qiao cough. Liu Mang was speechless, but his reaction was quick: "Teacher-Michael, wow, I didn't expect you to come here to watch the game. Why didn't you tell me in advance."

Sure enough, Jordan's face, which had grown fat all of a sudden, smiled like a chrysanthemum, and Wilkins and Bernard King who were on the side knew that this old opponent was showing off again.

How helpless and powerless!The honor and statistics of the two have been crushed, and now the disciples they accept are quite good. The two are considering whether to go to a team as the general manager. There is always a chance to win this guy in the draft.

Jordan patted Liu Mang on the shoulder, showing the appearance of being a teacher all the way: "Ace, you did a good job. You made it to the Eastern Conference Finals again. At noon, I heard that today is the start of your Eastern Conference Finals. I rushed over from Charlotte to see how you can play."

"Of course, I'm definitely much better than you. I made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last year. It's too easy to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals." Liu Mang was not humble at all.

What Jordan likes most about Liu Reck is Liu Reck's self-confidence. Hearing Liu Reck's words, he smiled and said, "Hey, your tone is not small, but you are right. If you can't even make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, why play in the NBA? Let me see your progress in this game!"

"Just watch..."

"I heard that the Harbor Center is booked by you? Ask your boss to give me a room."

"...You are not polite at all..."

Wilkins and Bernard King on the side looked at the two of them pretending to be aggressive, and really wanted to gang up on them, but considering that one of them had just retired and the other was young and strong, they might not be able to fight, so they had to give up.

But both of them are very angry!Because none of them made it to the conference finals, at most they only made it to the second round. Finally, other players also came to greet the celebrities. Wilkins and Bernard King could finally find an excuse to stay away from the two pretenders and take the initiative to greet and hug the juniors...

……

The pre-match activities were over, and the two teams came to the field as starters.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Mohammed, and Ratliff to the starting lineup, which is still the old lineup.

The starting lineup of the Nets has changed. Kidd, Kittles, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin have not changed. The center position, Mutombo returned to the starting lineup, in order to fight against the Eagles' frontcourt group.

The Nets used Van Horn to replace Mutombo last summer, mainly to deal with O'Neal of the Lakers. Who knows that the Lakers were eliminated, and the main reason is that Mutombo collapsed from last season's 11+11+2.5 block data to 6+5+1.5.

However, in the last round of playing against the Bucks, Mutombo showed his power at a critical moment, feeling like he was dreaming of returning to the top, which gave the Nets confidence again. Byron Scott put him in the starting position. Anyway, Jason Collins is just like that.

Ratliff came to the middle circle and jumped the ball with Mutombo... The Eagles fans on the scene picked up Coke and other drinks, drank water and chatted, and Ratliff still needed to watch the jump ball?Drinking water again... Not much suspense, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, and the old and tough Mutombo ball was allocated to Kidd.

In the first round, the Nets played Kittles' off-ball running tactic. Kittles, as the first artillery of the Nets outside, ran up quickly and got rid of Prince's defense. It was too decisive and unexpected. Outside the point line, Kidd sent the ball to Kittles in time, and Kittles caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

The Nets lead the Eagles by three points at the start!

It's really getting better and better!
Liu Mang felt the strong strength of the Nets. Originally, the Nets started after defeating the Bucks in the first round, and swept the Celtics and Pistons in the next two rounds, showing their invincible dominance over the Eastern Conference.

Sure enough, they still showed super dominance this time. Liu Mang took a deep breath and slowly advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.

Liu Mang pushed forward and still played inside first, but there was a change!
Liu Mang made a gesture, and Raheem took a step outside the free throw line, facing the basket. Liu Mang passed the ball to Raheem, then cut inside, spared a circle of the baseline and came to the right bottom corner, trying to open the space...but still not!

When Raheem was preparing to play singles, Richard Jefferson in the front was leading, and Mutombo behind Richard Jefferson was guarding the three-second zone. Kidd, who was following Liu Mang, did not follow the bottom corner, but was ready to double-team Raheem at any time.

When Raheem played the 76ers, he impressed the Nets so much!Unlike the Eagles who are waiting for their opponents, the Nets have sufficient confidence in themselves. When playing the Bucks, they are still paying attention to the Eagles' games. They firmly believe that the Eagles can enter the Eastern Conference Finals, and they have already started to study the Eagles.

Seeing Kidd's defense, Rahim quickly passed to Liu Mang in the corner.

Liu Mang took the ball without hesitation, caught the ball and threw it for a three-pointer.

"Boom..."

Liu Mang missed the opening three-pointer!Leaving Ratliff to interfere with the opponent's defensive rebound and counterattack, Liu Mang, Raheem, and Prince hurried back to the defense. Kidd took the defensive rebound and saw that the opponent had already returned to the defense. There was no forced start. The Eagles wanted to play steadily, and the Nets also pursued stability!

Kidd pushed forward again, and the Nets did not choose a three-pointer this time, but chose a low post!
Kenyon Martin sits low and leans on Muhammad for the ball!

Kenyon Martin received the ball and turned around suddenly. When Ratliff and Mutombo were confronting each other, he suddenly turned around and made a throw, which caught the Eagles by surprise. Muhammad was also surprised by Kenyon Martin's explosive power. Kenyon Martin scored two points with a throw.

It turned out to be playing low!The Nets' opening offensive routine was beyond the Eagles' expectations!Who didn't expect the Nets to start playing from Kittles and Kenyon Martin!

It is very different from the usual tactics of the Nets!
The Nets hit the Hawks by surprise in the opening game. Liu Mang pushed forward again and hit Raheem at this point. Raheem was very restraining. Even if he was double-teamed, his outstanding height and wingspan at the small forward position could pass the ball out. Liu Mang circled the baseline again and came to the right corner. in!

This time Kidd quickly rushed back to the basket. When Ratliff and Mutomboka were in position, Kidd took the lead in picking up the rebound!
The Nets counterattacked in three lines!Kenyon Martin rushed inside and Kittles ran to the bottom corner, attracting the defense of Prince and Raheem away. Kidd passed the ball to Richard Jefferson. Richard Jefferson countered and scored two points!
Liu Mang caught up with Richard Jefferson, but he had already rushed up, Liu Mang had no choice!
7 is better than 0!

The Basket team beat the Eagles 7-0 at the start!

Bad momentum!

Liu Mang immediately called a timeout!It only took 2 minutes!
So much has changed!Liu Mang felt that he had been fooled by the Nets!The Nets only played out their hidden tactics when they arrived in the Eastern Conference Finals!Even if they played against the Bucks before, the Nets didn't change so much!
