Billboards can be seen everywhere on the streets of Atlanta, most of which are promoting the Hawks' playoff run.

Since the past few days, Atlanta has seemed to have turned into a Chinatown, with Chinese tourists everywhere.

The difference between Chinese tourists and tourists from other yellow countries in Asia is that Chinese tourists like to buy and buy...those who can travel abroad these days are not short of money.

The influence that Liu Mang brings is greater than the influence that Yao Ming brought to Houston in the original time and space. Firstly, because Atlanta is more suitable for tourism than Houston, and secondly because of Liu Mang's performance in the past three seasons, which is Yao Ming's.

It's something no one can achieve even after finishing their career.

A figure wearing a mask and a sweatshirt and a hat on his head was walking through the streets of Atlanta. Such a figure did not attract much attention. There are many mavericks in the United States.

As they walked, this tightly wrapped figure came to a large shopping mall less than one kilometer away from Phillips Arena and one of the largest shopping malls in Atlanta - Phillips Mall.

The large LED screen at the entrance of the mall is playing the Eagles' news interview this morning. Phillips Group, which owns LED equipment, home electronics, large supermarket chains and other industries, is the Eagles' largest sponsor and built the arena.

At that time, half of the money and the money for subsequent equipment updates and maintenance were borne by the Phillips Group. Therefore, promoting the Eagles was also a means of self-promotion for them.

In recent years, thanks to the Eagles' soaring record and growing influence, Phillips Mall has become Atlanta's premier shopping mall.

What is playing on the TV screen is an interview with Liu Mang, the Eagles' No. 1 player.

The reporter asked Liu Mang: "Ace, you play well every time you meet the Knicks. Do you have any hatred for the Knicks?"

Liu Mang answered arrogantly: "Do you have any hatred for the Knicks? No, it just happened that we played well that day and scored 150 points. They didn't make a field goal and only scored 80 points. We are the same to any team.

The same style of play, without targeting them, weakness is the original sin, they are just too weak, so all misfortunes will befall them, it just happens that we appear on the same court."

Seeing the disgusting face on the TV screen saying disgusting words, the man in the sweatshirt took off his mask, revealing a face full of surliness, and spat on the ground.

Stephon Marbury!

Yesterday, the Knicks came to Atlanta, but no one noticed them. Tomorrow is the start of the playoffs. Marbury saw the predictions from major media that the Hawks had a 100% chance of advancing in the first round.

, almost all predictions are to sweep the promotion.

This made Marbury upset, and he went out for a walk to relax despite violating the team's most stringent team rules established by Pat Riley - team rules that did not allow him to leave the hotel for private activities during the away games in the playoffs.

The more I walked around, the more uncomfortable I became.

Now seeing this interview video, Marbury is even more unhappy.

The interview on the TV screen continued, and the reporter continued to ask: "Ace, you said that the biggest difference between the Knicks and your Hawks is the point guard. How do you think you are better than Marbury?"

Liu Mang replied: "Actually, Marbury is better than me, but he can't play basketball. The NBA is not suitable for him. Maybe he can try our country's CBA league, which is more suitable for his style of play. He is estimated to be in the NBA."

He will be waived like Ewing and Houston. Maybe he can play for a few more years in the CBA."

Overseas league!

Marbury really wanted to find a brick to smash this big screen!

It’s so disrespectful!

Marbury swore: I, Stephon Marbury, will not go to that CBA to earn a living even if I can’t play anymore and go bankrupt or starve to death!

ESPN, the three most authoritative sports media,

T.N.T.

After Sports Illustrated's playoff power rankings came out, most fans agreed with it, and most of the rankings from the three authoritative media were consistent.

The Lakers are ranked first in the strength rankings. In view of the Lakers' performance in the past four years and their current lineup is stronger, most fans still agree with this ranking.

The Hawks are ranked second, beating the defending champion Spurs. The third is the Spurs. The fourth is the Nets, who were the runner-up last season and entered the finals for two consecutive years. The fifth is the Timberwolves, the sixth is the Pacers, and the seventh is

It's the Mavericks, the eighth is the Kings, the ninth is the Rockets, the tenth is the Pistons, the eleventh is the Grizzlies, the 12th is the Nuggets, the 13th is the Hornets, the 14th is the Heat, and the 15th is the Bucks

,16th is the Knicks.

Although the Rockets and Pistons are ranked ninth and tenth in the strength rankings, they are ranked at the bottom of the sixteen teams in terms of winning probability, especially the Rockets, which is ranked second to last, only higher than the Knicks.

Although the Rockets have won 50 games and are ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, they will face the Lakers in the first round.

The Hawks were ranked second, pinning the defending champion Spurs. Some fans were dissatisfied with this matter, but some fans also gave supportive views.

The Hawks averaged 106 points per game this season, second in the league behind the Mavericks at 107.5 points per game, and ranked first in the league with 51 rebounds per game, higher than the Mavericks and Spurs, who both averaged 46 rebounds per game.

A total of 5, averaging 22.3 assists per game, ranking sixth in the league, averaging 89.7 points per game, ranking eighth in the league, but averaging 16.3 points per game, ranking first in the league, and is the only team besides the Timberwolves and Mavericks.

For teams with a margin of victory of more than 5 points, the Timberwolves average a margin of victory of 5.7 points per game, and the Mavericks average a margin of victory of 5.1 points per game, which is a completely crushing performance.

Moreover, the Hawks players scored very evenly. Except for one player who averaged 33.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, Raheem played in 74 games and averaged 11 points and 13.9 rebounds per game. Jason Terry played in 82 games and averaged 18 points and 4.0 assists per game.

4 rebounds and 4 assists. Rasheed Wallace played 61 games and averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds. Stockton played 60 games and averaged 6.1 points, 5.5 assists and 1.6 rebounds. Boozer played 80 games and averaged 9.5 points and 8.5 rebounds.

Teliff played in 70 games, averaging 6.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3 blocks, Kwame Brown played in 82 games, averaging 7.6 points and 7.9 rebounds, and Muhammad played in 82 games, averaging 4.6 points and 5.5 rebounds...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The average data of the players are often higher than the team's season average data, because when one player does not play, another one does.

Some fans pointed out: The Eagles' statistics are average, their record is good, and their overall statistics are good. If the Lakers didn't give people the impression of being champions, it would not be an exaggeration for the Eagles to rank first.

Originally it was just Eagles fans and Spurs fans arguing, but later the Lakers were dragged into it...

A certain number one in Atlanta who did not want to be named created several small accounts before going to bed and left messages under various posts: The most handsome Ace Liu's team is the first in the playoffs...

The predictions for the major awards are also out. For the probability of winning the best coach, Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown ranks first, Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders ranks second, and Pacers coach Rick Carlisle

Ranked third, Coach Kruger of the Eagles ranked only fourth.

Liu Mang ranks first in all MVP lists, second is Kevin Garnett, third is Kobe Bryant, fourth is Ron Artest, and fifth is Peja Stowe

Djakovic, sixth is Tim Duncan, seventh is Shaquille O'Neal, eighth is Sharif Rahim, ninth is Jason Kidd, and tenth is Ben Wallace.

Except for Liu Mang in first place and Garnett in second place, the rankings of the following people have changed somewhat on all major lists, but these are the same people in the top six.

The top ten players on the MVP list are either contenders for the scoring title, contenders for the rebounding title, favorites for the best defensive player, or contenders for one-on-one defense.

Artest's dominance as the best defensive player is the same as Liu Mang's. Artest is number one in all lists, because it is very difficult for a perimeter player to win the best defensive player.

When an outside line becomes the favorite for the best defensive player, it must be that he has played a strong enough defensive dominance and even overwhelmed the defensive performance of the inside line. The outside line already suffers in connecting the team's defense.

For the Rookie of the Year, some lists have Carmelo Anthony ranked first and LeBron James ranked second, and some lists have it the other way around. James is missing Boozer because of Liu Mang's influence.

This teammate averages a little more points per game than Anthony. The data is still 21.9 6 5.6. In addition to Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan, another rookie in NBA history averaged 20 5 5 in his rookie year.

His record improved significantly, he led the team to the playoffs in his rookie year, and the competition between the two was evenly matched.

For the Sixth Man of the Year, Jason Terry ranked first, Antawn Jamison ranked second, Bobby Jackson ranked third, and Manu Ginobili ranked fourth.

The previous award predictions are quite normal. Some rankings have caused controversy. For example, the rankings of Duncan and O'Neal are generally low, but they are still reasonable.

When Liu Mang saw these rankings, he felt that they were fairly accurate and fair, and there were no particularly big criticisms about the rankings.

However, when Liu Mang saw the prediction for the Most Improved Award, he was speechless...

The person who ranked first for the Most Improved Award is named Ace Liu...

Every ranking in every list has a reason behind it. For example, Liu Mang’s MVP ranking is No. 1 in all major lists. The reasons given in all major lists are that he is the leading scorer, and 70 wins are two simple things.

Rough reasons.

Liu Mang ranked first for the Most Improved Award, and the reason is very simple and crude.

Averaged 19.3 points per game - averaged 33.1 points per game, averaged 2.9 rebounds per game - averaged 3.8 rebounds per game, averaged 4.4 assists per game - averaged 6.6 assists per game.

This is a comparison of Liu Mang's statistics from last season to this regular season. It completely ignores the fact that Liu Mang only averaged 11 points per game in the first 30 games of last season and already averaged 25 points per game in the second half.

However, it seems reasonable and convincing!

Just like Liu Mang was speechless, fans were in an uproar after this list came out...

I took a look at Zach Randolph, who ranked second for the Most Improved Award. He has improved a lot from averaging 8 points and 5 rebounds per game to 20 points and 10 rebounds. However, the Most Improved Award mainly depends on the increase in scoring. Randolph

Dov's scoring increase is not as much as Liu Mang's. Even if the average rebounds per game increases to 10, if both competitors are players on bad teams, Randolph's doubling of rebounds will be considered an improvement, but if the competition

The opponent is Liu Mang, so record improvement will be taken into consideration. Even if the record of more than 60 wins two years ago is considered, the Eagles' improvement is much greater than that of the Trail Blazers. The Blazers' record is a negative improvement.

.

The fans have a very strange feeling. This feeling is very subtle. Without regulations, the MVP cannot win the Most Improved Award. Fans have come up with weird ideas. This year's MVP should easily win the Most Improved Award.

?

The Most Improved Award is a media vote. The predictions this time are so consistent that Liu Mang is ranked first. If Liu Mang and Randolph are evenly matched, it’s okay. Whoever predicts first or second will win the award.

Big problem, but Liu Mang ranks first on all major lists. Fans think this is obvious!

Liu Mang's idea was that the media was causing trouble!

These guys just want to do something eye-catching!

However...Liu Mang felt that it would be good to win an award. The impact on public opinion caused by this matter seemed to cause a lot of topics...As for being in the limelight, I have already won the scoring champion. Is there anything more exciting?

?

"...Dina, what are you dressed up like?" Liu Mang saw the little Lolita wearing a headband with the Chinese character "champion" written on her head and a bright red Eagles Chinese Fan Edition of the Rogue League.
