Chapter 730 729. People Don't Pretend To Force A Teenager (Please Subscribe, Ask For A Monthly Pass)

Liu Mang won the MVP of the regular season. In the United States, it is more official after the status of the league has been determined. In the two MVP battles between Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant and Garnett, Liu Mang led the team to defeat each other. With the guarantee of the record, the fans in the United States have already locked the MVP in the minds of fans in the United States.

In the country, it caused a huge sensation. In the early morning of the United States, that is, at night in China, Imperial TV One, the largest, most authoritative, and most official news media in the country, reported news related to Liu Mang for the second time in the news broadcast that all satellite TVs in the country had to broadcast in real time at [-]:[-] p.m. in prime time!
The last time Liu Mang appeared on the news network, he was a Chinese, and even the first Asian All-Star player.

This time, the history created by Liu Mang is even more ancient and vivid!

If Olajuwon who has become an American citizen and helped the US team play in the World Series does not count, Liu Mang is the first non-American in NBA history to win the regular season MVP!

The United States may not care about such things because Olajuwon won the MVP and Mutombo won the best defensive player. There are MVPs every year.

But it is different in China. When the news that Liu Mang won the MVP spread to China in the middle of the night, the imperial court immediately sent someone to interview Liu Mang.

Liu Mang came home yesterday afternoon, and just started celebrating with the three girls, when he was called back to the arena by Coach Price and Kruger, and accepted an exclusive interview.

The interview is very simple, Liu Mang’s line is just one sentence: thank the motherland, thank the fans who support me, I will work hard to create better honor in the NBA and win glory for the country...

Liu Mang was on the news broadcast this time, a total of 32 seconds, 6 seconds for the reporter to ask questions, 4 seconds for him to answer, and 22 seconds to introduce him as the first non-American player to win the MVP in NBA history, making history...

It was the first time for a Chinese to win the best player in the top league in the two major basketball games, and the news network helped promote it. When Liu Wei woke up in the morning, he found that the hooligan value had skyrocketed again.

It wasn't as powerful as the 1000 million rogue points that the fans saw at first, but it was still a lot. By noon, the growth rate had slowed down, but it also increased by more than 100 million rogue points in the morning.

After all, almost [-] hours had passed since the news broadcast. Real sports fans already knew about it. Liu Mang was no longer the unknown person he was when he was not reported in the country.

Being on the news broadcast is mainly the pride of a Chinese basketball player!
……

The fans are discussing that Liu Mang won the MVP. Some people think it is well deserved, some people think it is good luck, and some are cursing Liu Mang, the voters, and the league for giving Liu Mang the MVP for the market.

Players in the league reacted differently. Players who have a good relationship with Liu Mang sent congratulations during interviews. Iverson, Stingy Cousins, Reid, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Wade, James...etc. They all sent congratulations. What made Liu Mang feel a little strange was that when Ma Long was sending congratulations, a fat man came in to congratulate him, and he was not afraid that someone from his own team would be unhappy.

But when Liu Mang saw the news, he wished O'Neill would say something more to make someone even more unhappy.

Jordan, who is busy recruiting a new team, also took the time to accept an interview and sent his blessings, saying that Liu Mang is his best successor.

Some people are yin and yang, such as Brother Iron Blood and Brother Lockthroat among the famous five giants and ugly three-headed monsters in Minnesota.

When Liu Mang saw the news about the two people's interviews, he was very embarrassed when he heard the two people's eccentric words, which made the two people envious and jealous.

Liu Mang's cell phone was also ringing all the time. Calls and text messages had been blowing up since yesterday. Liu Mang answered calls and text messages one by one.

It's just that there is one person missing in these phone calls, these text messages, and the news interviews I saw.

Where is the iron king of Los Angeles?
This guy didn't give an interview, didn't call or text, Liu Mang was very worried about the little blacksmith!
Shouldn't this guy be pissed off?
Liu Mang didn't think this would work, so he had to call to piss him off... No, it was to see if the little blacksmith had anything to do. We were all friends, so Liu Mang was very worried!
Liu Mang dialed the phone with the note "Iron Man" which the little blacksmith had accidentally seen but had made the little blacksmith happy in private for a long time, okay? Iron-Man, in American perception, this name is a representative of toughness and is very famous... This is one of the main reasons why the little blacksmith still has so much recognition for Liu Mang...

Liu Mang dialed the number "Tie Nan", and a few seconds later, the English version of "The number you dialed is an empty number" came from the phone...

"Damn! This guy actually changed his phone number and didn't tell the young master! How unreasonable!" Liu Mang let out an angry roar!

Liu Mang roared, startling the three girls in the living room and ran to Liu Mang's room, and then saw Liu Mang throwing his phone down on the sofa, and spitting wildly: "Damn little blacksmith in Milan, you are not enough brothers! I want to care about you, but you have changed your phone, and you still haven't told me..."

Based on the understanding of Liu Mang, how could the three girls not know what happened?
"Uncle wants to bully Uncle Bryant again, uncle is so bad!" Little Loli got under Liu Mang's arm and poked Liu Mang's aggrieved face with her hand and said.

Both Levia and Alexia couldn't stop laughing, and Levia smiled and said, "Ace, do you want to tease Kobe again? I don't want it anymore. I'm afraid you will fight next time you meet."

Alexia and the little loli who got into Liu Mang's arms nodded repeatedly.

"How is it possible! I just want to call him to care about him," Liu Mang immediately denied, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!" The three girls nodded in unison.

"..."

……

Liu Mang regretted not being able to tease the little blacksmith, but he soon stopped paying attention to the MVP.

Forcibly draw attention back to the playoffs.

The championship is the kingly way. If it is too embarrassing to win the MVP, it will be a great shame if you don’t win the championship in the end. 70 wins and no championship... Liu Mang thought of the predecessor of the future Cosmos team... and immediately put the MVP aside. The MVP is just the honor of the regular season that has already been played.

After returning to the arena in the afternoon, the coaching staff also gave Liu Mang and other team members a psychological education class to do ideological construction, so that the players can return their attention to the playoffs.

But coach Kruger doesn't need to deliberately do this. Not only Liu Mang, but other players also know that the playoffs are the most important thing. The losses in the past two years have brought great growth to the players.

Before partnering with Liu Mang, they had no chance to win, so their fighting spirit was getting lower and lower. But after partnering with Liu Mang, they felt the feeling of winning in the playoffs, an obsessive feeling, especially after losing twice, so they didn't want to lose again.

Especially with this group of teammates who may be the best in their careers, they don't want to lose again!

In the afternoon training, the Eagles members were extremely serious. Even if the opponent was the Pistons, the Eagles swept them in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and this year's regular season also swept them away. No one cares.

The example of the Mavericks is there, they beat the Kings last year and were swept this year.

Because of the pressure brought by Liu Mang, in the first round of this year, the dominant teams played desperately and wanted to win quickly, leaving more preparation time for the subsequent series. This year's first round of all sweeps may be the key reason for Liu Mang and his Eagles.

You can't be careless, and you can't be careless with any opponent. Only after winning the championship, Liu Wei and his teammates dare to relax!
……

……

Two days passed. , the two series of the division semifinals have finished their first battle.

In the series between the Nets and the Pacers, the Nets with a record of only 44 wins had the upper hand!

Kidd was at his peak, and his dominance in the playoffs was really too strong. Some people commented on the original 03-04 Eastern Conference playoffs. If it weren’t for Kidd’s own knee being bumped while grabbing a rebound with Ben Wallace, and he was injured and lost to Billups, the Nets might have reached the Finals for three consecutive years.

In addition, Carter's ability to fight tough battles in the playoffs is really underestimated. In the first game against the Pacers, driven by Kidd, Carter scored 33 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and beat Ron Artest, the number one favorite for the best defensive player!
However, the overall strength of the Pacers is really strong, not much worse than the Nets. Carter broke out. Kidd also scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists. The Nets only won by 3 points, beating the Pacers 98 to 95.

But the most important thing is that the Nets defeated the Pacers away!
The Nets, which only won 44 wins in the regular season, defeated the Pacers, the second-best Pacers in the league with 60 wins!
This is the most terrible.

However, after the game between the Lakers and the Spurs on the 29th, Duncan watched the 14 championship banners of the Lakers for a long time after the game...

With 31 points, 22 rebounds and 5 blocks, Duncan had the upper hand in the matchup with O'Neal for the second consecutive year, and he played desperately in this game, because Malone and Kobe, two mid-range shooting artifacts, showed their power again!

Although Bowen was beaten by Kobe in the playoffs in the past, at least he could restrain Kobe a little bit. Malik Rose, who seemed to be useful in the regular season, only realized Kobe's terror in the playoffs, and then he realized how difficult it was for Bowen...

Kobe had 30 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Malone had 17 points and 7 rebounds. Although O'Neal was suppressed by Duncan, he also scored 18 points and 11 rebounds.

The most important thing is that Ginobili was defended by today's mad Kobe Bryant, who scored 11 of 3 and only scored 8 points. As Duncan's strongest teammate, Ginobili couldn't play in the playoffs.

It is said that Duncan was a real single-core in 03, not casually.

88 to 79, the first game of the series between the Lakers and the Spurs, the Lakers defended the first home court.

Liu Mang watched the live broadcast of these two games. Both games were very good. The only thing that makes Liu Mang feel a little inexplicably sad is... Can he still see that magical 0.4 seconds?

……

Time passed quickly, and in a flash, it was April 4, the day when the Eagles played against the Pistons at home.

With the start of the second round, the MVP of the regular season was announced, and other individual awards for the regular season began to be announced one after another.

The best manager was won by Eagles owner Price. This is also an award without any suspense.

The best rookie was still won by James. Although Anthony made the playoffs, his performance in the playoffs was too eye-catching. With this prerequisite, the league originally wanted to praise James. The performance of 21.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists is well-deserved, and even without making the playoffs, he has the 5.9th result in the Eastern Conference, which is much stronger than the first and second in the league in the past two years.

The best coach was won by the head coach of the Grizzlies, Hubie Brown, who raised a team with the second pick to a 50-win team, which was more favored by the media than the Eagles' 70 wins. Even the Pacers' coach Carlisle got more votes than Coach Kruger.

Coach Kruger can see it, and it's not that he hasn't won the best coach, and the Eagles didn't pay much attention to this award.

But on the morning of the game between the Eagles and the Pistons, when Liu Mang came to the arena early for training, he saw his teammates coming early again, and immediately knew that something was going to happen.

Today is the day when the three regular season awards: Best Sixth Man, Most Improved Player, and Best Defensive Player are announced.

Jason Terry is looking forward to whether he can get the award for the first season of his career, and Liu Mang is also very interested in whether he can get the Most Improved Award.

Very interesting!

Jason Terry is not particularly stable for the best sixth man. Jamison, Harrington, Ginobili, Bobby Jackson... are all strong contenders, and their statistics are not worse than Jason Terry. In terms of advantages, the biggest advantage is the record.

Seeing the expectant and nervous Jason Terry, Liu Mang couldn't help but joked: "Jason, isn't he the best sixth man? It doesn't matter if you don't get it. I'll give you one... Oh, really, I won't give it to you... Hehe, you're alone. Come on, you chase me. If you catch me, I'll let you... Damn! Come to help..."

Liu Mang was chased and beaten by Jason Terry and Rasheed Wallace...

This scene made the tense training atmosphere of the Eagles players a little more relaxed these days. Coach Kruger didn't care about seeing this scene when he came. You can't relax while playing against the Pistons, but you can't be too nervous. After all, the opponent is only the Pistons.

Liu Mang's "team buff with strong mentality" has a strong influence on the team.

Finally, at nine o'clock in the morning, the NBA officially announced that Jason Terry defeated Jamison with 30.00% of the votes and won the best sixth man.

With 50.00% of the votes, Artest was more than double the second-best Ben Wallace's 20.00% of the votes, and won the best defensive player without any suspense.

As for the Most Improved Award, Liu Mang was shocked when he saw that he had won 90.00% of the votes, while Zach Randolph, who was ranked second, had only [-]%.
He thought that he might become the first player to win the MVP and the Most Improved Award at the same time, but he didn't expect it to be so unsuspecting!No more suspense than MVP!

An MVP, won this award, Liu Mang was constantly teased by his teammates.

And Liu Mang came up with this sentence: "How much is Randolph not liked by the media?"

……

……

The Eagles won scoring, rebounding, blocks, MVP, best sixth man, most improved award, two stats champions, and one regular season award. The top five fans thought it was normal. The scoring and rebounding champions have been locked for a long time in the regular season. Liu Mang’s MVP has also been locked. The best sixth man narrowly won.

But the Most Improved Award was not only ridiculed by teammates, but also a topic of ridicule by fans. Even on major websites, the topic of Liu Mang winning the Most Improved Award was higher than the fact that Artest became the first small forward to win the best defensive player.

In addition to the announcement of the awards, today, the first match of the second round of the two series is also a topic of discussion.

The most powerful forward battle between Garnett and Webber is naturally not low in topicality.

The series between the Eagles and the Pistons is also very topical.

Although the Eagles have swept the Pistons in the past two years, fans feel that the Pistons may explode because of this. The coach Larry Brown is still very famous, especially if he has done such a thing.

The previous 76ers team was swept by the Pacers in the second round of the 99 playoffs, and was once again defeated by the Pacers 2000-4 in the second round of the 2 playoffs. However, in 2001, the 76ers took revenge on the Pacers.

So, when Liu Mang was interviewed before the game, he was asked about this matter, and asked Liu Mang's confidence in this round of the series and what he thought of the Pistons.

Hearing the reporter's narration, and the obvious provocative tone, Liu Mang saw that it was a reporter from Detroit. Liu Mang said disdainfully, "Pistons? You should ask their players first to see how much confidence they have. Can they win a game with me? If they can win a game, then their reconstruction in the past two years will be very successful."

When the reporter who asked the question saw Liu Mang turn around and leave after speaking, he was so angry that he was going to explode!

Too embarrassing!

……

Liu Mang, who returned to the locker room, didn't care at all when he saw the speechless expressions of his teammates.

Can't you be too proud of what you said?Liu Mang's teammates can only be careful not to capsize in the gutter.

The Pistons have already been beaten to the point where they lose their fighting spirit when they meet him. Liu Mang knows this best.Not only does he despise his opponents strategically, Liu Mang despises them directly.

Liu Mang took twice as much Gatorade and drank it. At this moment, the consequences of pretending to be aggressive came...

"Ding...Temporary mission, the dignity of Detroit."

"Because of the past two seasons of the host's playoffs and the crushing of the Pistons in the regular season twice this season, the Pistons players have the mentality to protect their last dignity and fight against the host's team. Temporary mission: Detroit's dignity trigger."

"Dignity of Detroit: The Pistons have temporarily recovered their fighting spirit. The host needs to lead the team to beat the Pistons by at least 15 points at home. Task reward: Personal buff: Trembling Steel City. Failure penalty: The Pistons have fully recovered their fighting spirit and will be in a state of excitement in the next game against the host's team."

"Pfft..." Liu Mang sprayed his water directly on the face of Boozer who just passed by. Boozer looked at Liu Mang with a resentful face, and really wanted to beat up the pretender, but he didn't have the chance to sneak up on Liu Mang without other big shots first.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liu Mang quickly took a towel to wipe Boozer, but the more he wiped, the more grief and anger Liu Mang felt.

At this moment, Liu Mang once again understood the truth: pretending to be aggressive is cool for a while!
