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

The best defensive player was won by Ben Wallace of the Pistons. Although he was eliminated after the first round, it did not affect Ben Wallace's excellent performance in the regular season. Ben Wallace won the vote.

More than half, the only others who received more than 10% of the vote were Artest, Ratliff, and Garnett. The three of them combined did not have as many votes as Ben Wallace.

In terms of Rookie of the Year, Yao Ming won the Rookie of the Year with 41% of the votes, beating Stoudemire who received 39% of the votes.

Yao Ming had 15.1 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Stoudemire had 13.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2 assists.

Yao Ming's record data was better than Stoudemire's, and the difference in final vote share was only two percentage points, which was really not easy.

But history was made!

This is the first time in NBA history that an overseas player has won the Rookie of the Year Award for two consecutive years. This is the first time in NBA history!

Domestically, although Yao Ming was eliminated in the first round, he was his biological son after all. His publicity was much hotter than that of Liu Mang, and he was a center. Not long after the heyday of the four major centers, a domestic center became a star.

He won the Rookie of the Year Award, which is much more sensational than the outside line.

The main reason is that there was already an outside core before, and now there is an inside core. After the national football team's tragic World Cup trip last summer, domestic fans have high expectations for the men's basketball team. Liu Mang and Yao Ming's combination have become

New hope for Chinese sports!

Most Improved Award: Arenas defeated Reed to win the Most Improved Award this season.

For the Best Sixth Man, the votes are the same as the Most Improved Award, MVP, and Best Defensive Player. They are all three categories of votes. The first vote is 5 points, the second vote is 3 points, and the third vote is 1 point. Liu Mang got it.

With 46 first-place votes, 40 second-place votes, and 8 third-place votes, he scored 358 points, beating the Kings' Bobby Jackson's 327 points, and won the Best Sixth Man Award again!

In terms of the All-Rookie Team, Yao Ming and Stoudemire were unanimously selected to the first team, Hawks backup power forward Boozer, Heat main small forward Caron Butler, and Magic center Drew Gooden were selected to the first team.

For a while.

The rookie second team is led by Croatian guard Gordon Kirisek, Argentinian swordsman Manu Ginobili, Hawks forward swingman Prince, and Cavaliers point guard Dajuan Wagner.

The Hawks selected three rookies ranked after the 20th overall pick, and two of them were selected to the All-Rookie Team. In addition, Liu Mang was selected in 2001, and his reputation has skyrocketed. Many teams have already sent scouts to prepare.

The Eagles' trial training is gathering 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, and Nuggets.

The Heat, the teams with the worst records, and the Pistons, which appeared out of nowhere, have already invited James, Anthony, and Bosh, the top picks for the No. 1 pick, to try out.

In terms of the best lineup, the OK combination and the two No. 21s continue to dominate the first team position. Although the scoring leader Tracy McGrady did not make the playoffs, he is the only superstar with an efficiency value of over 30 this season, with 67 first-place votes.

The advantage overcame Jason Kidd, who received 50 first-place votes, to be selected to the All-NBA First Team.

Ben Wallace, Nowitzki, Webber, Kidd, and Iverson were selected to the All-NBA Second Team.

In terms of the third team, Francis, who made it to the playoffs, beat Marbury and was selected to the All-NBA third team for the first time in his career. The other four players are Raheem, Nash, Kenyon Martin, and Peja.

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

Best Defensive Team, at the center position, Ben Wallace, O'Neal, and Ratliff received almost the same votes. Ben Wallace led the next two with 140 points, and the latter two both scored 122 points. The three won the center position.

position exceeded ninety-eight percent of all votes cast.

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

With 260 points and all 130 first-place votes to dominate the forward position, Kobe and Kidd, the two best defensive perimeters in the West and East, were selected for the first defense together.

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

With a third team, a second defense, two All-Rookie teams, and one Best Sixth Man, the Hawks have finally left their name on this year's honor roll.

…

"Oh oh oh oh……"

Liu Mang saw that the fragments of talent skills in the system panel turned into (3), and he was extremely excited. What about the 5,000 superstar value of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, the superstar value of the best sixth man, and the best sixth man in a row?

He doesn't care about superstar value at all... he still cares a lot.

Sure enough, record is king! Honor is king!

Forty-five thousand superstar points, plus three level 1 tasks and one level 3 task from playing the Pistons in 4 games, a total of 6,000 superstar points, and 4,000 superstar points from the four level 1 tasks against the 76ers. Liu Mang

All of a sudden, the poor peasants became well-off, and all of a sudden they got 45,000 superstar values! Adding the remaining 15,000 superstar values, there are 60,000 superstar values!

Liu Mang took a look at the system, and there were also Madman's 98-99 season star card, Jordan's rookie season star card, Reggie Miller's peak star card, and Atlanta's Fury, which had an obvious effect. It was very beautiful, Liu Mang

Mang is more confident about the upcoming series with the Nets.

Beating Kidd, Liu Mang's fighting spirit was at its peak!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If playing the Pistons is to prove that our team is still one of the two best teams in the Eastern Conference and is truly a strong team that deserves to win the regular season Eastern Conference championship, Chapter 1

In the second round, they met the 76ers, who had real superstars, but felt the helplessness of Iverson. So when we play against Kidd, Kidd is at his peak personally, and his teammates are also the most suitable teammates for him, and the Nets are at their peak, challenging the Nets.

Liu Mang was so excited!

This excitement has also spread to teammates. If we play against the Pistons and 76ers, the Eagles can easily win. If we play against the Nets... the greater the difficulty, the greater the pressure, which makes these young people very excited!

…

…

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the Nets are at home. Players from both teams have already entered the stadium, and the game is about to start.

The Hawks and Nets are about to take the lead in the conference finals. In the pre-game interview, both teams tacitly chose to keep a low profile. The Hawks did not want to make the Eastern Conference finals more difficult. Even Liu Mang did not make bold statements and acted in a low profile.

, playing in a high profile, because the Nets and other teams in the Eastern Conference are not on the same level, not at the same level at all. The Hawks can sweep the Pistons. In the original history, the Nets were able to sweep the Pistons, the first in the Eastern Conference, in the Eastern Conference finals. The Nets and

The other teams in the Eastern Conference are not opponents at the same level at all.

The Nets chose to keep a low profile to give the Hawks face. The Hawks gave them face before, believing that they could reach the Eastern Conference Finals and come to New Jersey to prepare for the game. Although Kidd still hates Liu Mang, this time he feels that Liu Mang

Mang respects him very much.

It is true that Liu Mang has always been full of respect for his opponents...not counting the malicious hurt, the only thing Kidd likes about Liu Mang is Liu Mang's respect for his opponents.

It's just that more than one-tenth of the fan area at their home court was occupied by visiting team fans, and most of them were in the front row. This made the Nets players very unhappy. Eagles fans and Liu Mang fans poured into the Nets.

The team's home field occupies a lot of places.

And compared to the Spurs playing the Mavericks in the Western Conference, fans are looking forward to the Eastern Conference Finals even more.

The main reason is that the Spurs are already low in popularity, and the Mavericks are also very low in popularity, and even have a lower presence than the Spurs. The Spurs still have Duncan, an All-Star who relied solely on strength, and the Mavericks have never had an All-Star in their history.

Many celebrities came to the Eastern Conference Finals, including Nets star Bernard King, Hawks star Dominique Wilkins, and the eliminated 76ers center was also former Nets player Derrick Coleman...

…Many famous players from the Hawks and Nets came to watch the game.

In the final preparation period before the game, after Liu Mang entered the court, he was not surprised by the Nets and Hawks celebrities, because they also came to the Harbor Center Hotel rented by the Hawks to have a suite, and the Hawks also warmly entertained them.

However, when Liu Mang saw the basketball god Michael Jordan, who had just retired for three months, chatting and laughing with Wilkins and Bernard King, the two biggest celebrities who came to watch the game, he was very impressed.

Surprised!

Liu Mang rushed over to ask "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, the Eagles would have to quickly

It's not easy to get on the right track.

"Michael..." As soon as Liu Mang called out his name, he heard Mr. Qiao cough. Liu Mang was speechless, but he responded quickly: "Teacher-Michael, wow, I didn't expect you to come here to watch the game. Why not?"

Tell me in advance."

Sure enough, Jordan suddenly gained a lot of weight and his face smiled like a chrysanthemum. Wilkins and Bernard King who were standing aside knew that this old rival was showing off again.

It’s so helpless and powerless! Both of them have been crushed in terms of honors and statistics. Now they have a very good disciple. They are considering whether to become the general manager of which team. There is always a chance to beat this guy in the draft, right?

.

Jordan patted Liu Mang on the shoulder, showing how he was setting a good example for others along the way: "Ace, you did a good job. You have reached the Eastern Conference finals again. I heard at noon that today is the day when your Eastern Conference finals start. I came from Charlotte.

Come over here and see how well you can fight."

"Of course, I am definitely much better than you. I reached the Eastern Conference Finals last year. It was too easy to reach the Eastern Conference Finals." Liu Mang was not humble at all.

What Jordan likes most about Liu Mang is Liu Mang's confidence. Hearing Liu Mang's words, he laughed and said: "Hey, that's not a small tone, but you are right. If you can't make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, why are you playing in the NBA? This game

Let me see your progress in the competition!"

"Just watch..."

"I heard that the Harbor Center has been 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 men showing off, and really wanted to beat them up, 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 were so angry! Because they both failed to reach the conference finals and only reached the second round at most. Finally, other players came to greet the famous players. Wilkins and Bernard King could finally find them.

As an excuse to stay away from the two pretenders, he took the initiative to greet and hug the juniors...

…

After the pre-match activities, the two teams came to the field.

The Eagles sent out a lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Muhammad, and Ratliff, which was still the same old lineup.

The Nets' lineup has changed. Kidd, Kittles, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin have not changed. Mutombo has returned to the center position in order to counter the Hawks' frontcourt group.
