On May 2nd, some teams advanced, some teams competed in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and when the Hawks started their first rest day, the league announced the best rookie and best defensive player of the season.

Chris Paul, who played 72 games and averaged 16.5 points, 5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, won the Rookie of the Year award without any suspense.

Andrew Bogut, who calls himself the Australian Duncan, people don't know how to describe him. He averages 8.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. It's not bad at all. He defends very well and is excellent in positioning and pick-and-roll.

But when it comes to Andrew Bogut’s status as the No. 1 pick, I think he is the real deal!

But compared to Kwame Brown's first two seasons in his career, and compared to Olowokandi, it's quite impressive.

In people's eyes, Andrew Bogut is probably another Joe Smith. He is not a parallel No. 1 pick, but he is not a great No. 1 pick either. He doesn't even have the word "excellent".

With three talented rookies in Paul, Deron and Bynum behind them, the Bucks obviously lost money by selecting Bogut.

The Best Defensive Player was won by Andrei Kirilenko of the Jazz. Kirilenko's defensive performance this season was phenomenal. As a perimeter player, his defensive efficiency was actually better than that of Duncan, Yao Ming, and Kwame Brown.

, Garnett and other inside players are still higher. He even set a new record for blocks per game in a single season for outside players in NBA history. He averaged 3.5 blocks per game, putting all the inside shot-blocking masters to shame.

With a vote rate of 64%, Kirilenko deservedly won the best defensive player.

Kwame Brown received 19% of the votes, ranking second, and entered the top three of the best defensive player rankings for the first time.

Kobe Bryant received 9% of the votes and entered the top three in Defensive Player of the Year votes for the second time in his career.

Garnett is fourth, Duncan is fifth, Ben Wallace is sixth, Wade is seventh, and Prince is eighth.

Liu Mang actually got 1 first-place vote, with a total of 33 points, ranking ninth...

On May 3, the league announced the Best Coach and Best Manager awards, and Eagles coach Lon Kruger received his third Best Coach award in five years.

Many fans have already begun to complain about Coach Kruger's fate and his encounter with Liu Mang.

But there are also remarks that it is a kind of ability to bring Liu Mang, a player that other teams wanted and did not pay attention to during the draft, into the NBA.

The best manager award went to Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, who acquired Yao Ming to help the Lakers get back on their feet.

These awards, including best coach, are not taken seriously by the Eagles.

Coach Kruger has won the Best Coach Award twice. I am happy to have him for the third time, and I don’t feel any regrets without him.

By May 5th, most of the eight-round series had been decided. The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4-1, the Mavericks defeated the SuperSonics 4-1, and only the Clippers and Suns, and the 76ers and Cavaliers were left.

3 to 3 tie.

The Suns escaped being beaten 3-1 by the Lakers in the first round and were questioned by fans and media, but they did not escape another Los Angeles team.

After struggling to equalize the score to 3-3, the Suns will have a tiebreaker with the Clippers on the night of the 5th.

The Cavaliers and 76ers are playing very anxiously. Iverson averages 34 points and 8 assists per game, and James averages 30 7 7 per game. The two are inextricably fighting and will have a tiebreaker on the 6th.

…

"Jason, don't be so excited. I've already taken it once anyway." Liu Mang complained as he looked at Jason Terry, who was almost close to the TV screen.

"Ace, you've already won the MVP once, how about you never win it again?" Jason Terry countered.

Yes! Liu Mang was choked so much.

This guy never forgives anyone with his mouth!

Liu Mang has been waiting boredly with his teammates for the second round. They have been waiting for three days. Today, May 5th, is the fourth day, and he will continue to wait.

But there are three major awards to be announced today.

This season, the league has arranged all individual awards to be announced in the first round. Now there are only three major awards left: MVP, Most Improved Award, and Best Sixth Man Award.

The remaining best team and best defensive team are actually team awards, but individual performance accounts for more.

If a player fails to make the playoffs, even if he wins the scoring title, it is almost impossible to make the first team. Iverson and Tracy McGrady both encountered this situation.

As for the best defensive team, the coaches' voting is more stringent. If they don't make it to the playoffs, not to mention the first defense and second defense coaches will not consider it.

Liu Mang said he was not in a hurry, but as the time for the award announcement at 10 o'clock in the morning got closer and closer, he gradually started to become a little anxious.

Of course, Liu Mang winning the MVP was expected by everyone. At the end of March, Liu Mang's MVP was basically completely stable, but when it came time to announce it, Liu Mang became a little worried...

Finally, at ten o'clock, Liu Mang and his teammates gathered around the TV and waited for more than ten minutes for commercials. David Stern's face appeared on the TV screen.

The last three individual awards of the regular season are announced!

The first to be announced was the Sixth Man of the Year. Jason Terry won 28.3% of the votes, beating Manu Ginobili who won 27.6% of the votes.

Won the Sixth Man of the Year Award for the second time in his career.

Then there is the Most Improved Award.

Boris Diaw went from being unable to play in the ball last season to playing in 82 games this season, averaging 14 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 block per game. D'Antoni's ability to dig out these strangely talented players is really not there.

In other words, he is on the same level as Popovich, which is great. Many players who have given up on their careers have been reborn under his hands.

However, Boris Dior won the Most Improved Award without any suspense with 79% of the vote, which is quite shocking.

This is much more amazing than when McGrady and Liu Mang won the Most Improved Award. Before McGrady won the Most Improved Award, the Magic had given him an annual salary of tens of millions. When Liu Mang won the Most Improved Award, the previous season

He was selected to the All-NBA team and was the MVP that season.

Diaw really feels like he has been "reborn". He only averaged 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, and he could hardly play anymore, but this season he actually performed like a first-class star.

The only player who can compare with Diaw as the most improved player in history is Jermaine O'Neal.

But Dior's shocking performance was stolen from the limelight by the second-placed name in the Most Improved Award.

Liu Mang received 15 first-place votes, ranking second in the Most Improved Award with a vote rate of 19%...

In other words, without Dior's shocking performance, Liu Mang might have been the favorite for the Most Improved Award.

Last season, Tracy McGrady only received one first-place vote, ranking sixth in the vote count.

Liu Mang actually ranked second!

Liu Mang was speechless...

The final MVP did not disappoint Liu Mang.

Among the 125 first-place votes and the votes of 125 voting media, professionals, commentators, and radio announcers, Liu Mang received all 125 first-place votes and won the regular season MVP in a dominant manner!

Moreover, it also broke O'Neal's historically high first-place vote share of 99% in the 1999-2000 season, becoming the first star in NBA history to be unanimously elected regular season MVP.

After breaking the historical win record and winning the scoring title in his second year, Liu Mang transformed into the assist title. Liu Mang became the most well-deserved MVP...

But at this moment, Liu Mang felt something was wrong.

I was originally prepared, but as soon as I saw the MVP announcement, I turned around and left to enjoy the loneliness in silence.

But because I was frightened by the Most Improved Award before, I lost the opportunity to escape immediately.

His teammates, who had been prepared for a long time, surrounded Liu Mang.

"After winning the championship, Liv Palace will be reserved for a week." Liu Mang said directly.

At this time, it was not the first time that he was protected by Raheem when he won the MVP. He also tried to find excuses like a younger brother, directly announcing that he had won the championship and booked the nightclub in Miami known as the Palace for a week.

Originally, it was because Liu Mang's parents were preparing to return to China in the summer when Liu Mang went to participate in the World Championships. They had been in the United States for more than half a year. Although they were reluctant to leave their son and grandchildren, they were ready to go back. The feeling of homesickness was stronger than many feelings.

More profoundly, Liu Mang plans to let Levia and Alexia take them to Miami for vacation a month or two after the end of the season. When they go to Japan to watch Liu Mang play in the World Championships, he will take them with him.

Go watch and send them home after watching the World Championships.

Unable to avoid the invitation, Liu Mang simply chose a hotel in Miami to reserve the venue.

"Oh oh oh... Ace, you were so straightforward this time, I almost didn't recognize you..." Jason Terry jumped up.

Liu Mang was deeply impressed by this nightclub called LIV. He had never been there himself, but Liu Mang was deeply impressed by this big-name nightclub with a history of 20 years. A few years later, there was a king in Jingdezhen who stayed here for a week.

A tip of US$140,000 was given to the same nightclub girl with a huge butt every night...

…

Liu Mang won the regular season MVP unanimously. The fat man in Miami was depressed. One of his greatest achievements was surpassed. That time he was just one vote away. One of the 122 votes was taken away by Allen Iverson, who was in full swing at the time.

He unfortunately lost the unanimous MVP title with 121 votes, but this time Liu Mang did it!

A certain bald boss who is on vacation in Los Angeles wants to vomit blood. He led the team to a 72-win season that year. Not to mention all the votes, he got 100 first-place votes, and was robbed of more than 20 votes by last season's MVP David Robinson.

.

He also won more than 70 games, and the boy he taught actually became the first unanimous MVP in NBA history!

Liu Mang was unanimously elected MVP, causing a sensation.

Liu Mang is sure to win the MVP, but the overall vote is still amazing. The last time Liu Mang won 70 MVPs, he only got more than 60% of the first-place votes.

This time he got a higher vote rate than when O'Neal won the MVP!
Chapter completed!
