Last season, after the first round was played, the rest time between the two rounds began to be compressed. However, this season, after the first round was played, the league could only postpone the start of the next round. The eight teams in the second round received

Three to four days of rest.

The earliest team to start the second round is the game between the Nets and the Pacers, which will start on the 28th. The 29th is the annual Lakers-horse battle. The first game of the second round of the Eagles will be on the 4th.

It starts on March 30th, the same day as the Kings vs. Timberwolves game.

Yesterday afternoon, Liu Mang looked at Wen Baker's star card and felt sad. After Alexia and Levia came back from shopping, he posted it in a disgusting way. Levia was inconvenient these two days, so Liu Mang forced the beauty to

The senior sister kidnapped him into the room and had a profound communication between body and soul, and finally healed the grief and anger of losing the Anfernee Hardaway star card.

The next day, the morning of the 27th, Liu Mang came to Phillips Arena for training.

After a day of rest and a night of fun, Liu Mang returned to playoff mode and arrived at the arena before eight o'clock.

When I arrived at the gym, I found that several teammates had already arrived and started to warm up before training.

Seeing that so many people were there, even Stockton was there, Liu Mang counted and saw that all fourteen teammates of the team were there, as were several familiar trainers, and they had arrived earlier than him.

Mang's heart was pounding.

This group of people!

"What are you doing here so early?" Liu Mang asked fearfully, feeling the urge to go home for training.

However, the series with the Pistons is about to begin the day after tomorrow. The Pistons came to Atlanta yesterday, and the head coach is Larry Brown. They got off the plane and had lunch and started training in the afternoon. The Hawks also

You have to hurry up, so there are two 30-minute tactical training sessions from 10 to 11:30 this morning. Liu Mang can't escape even if he wants to.

"The second round is about to begin. Of course we have to come to practice early. We want to win the championship! We can't lose to the Pistons." Jason Terry replied calmly, as if he didn't see the emotion in Liu Mang's eyes.

fear.

These guys... Liu Mang had an idea, held his stomach and shouted: "Oh, my stomach hurts a little, please help me ask for leave, I will go to the hospital..."

Liu Mang turned around and wanted to run away, but almost as soon as he turned around, he was caught between two sturdy men.

Liu Mang's eyes widened when he saw Rasheed Wallace and Raheem holding one of his arms. These two guys were practicing shooting two seconds ago, and they had him holding up in an instant.

!

How come I haven't seen these two guys so fast when I play in normal games! Players like Iverson, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady have been beaten so hard, but why haven't I seen them so fast in games?

"Ace, what hospital are you going to? Are you looking down on our team doctor? Chris, come on, let Ace take a look. He said he has a stomachache!" Rasheed Wallace called, and the team's number one doctor also

It was Chris Leal who took over as chief team physician from Steve Callahan.

Liu Mang immediately said: "It's okay, my stomach suddenly doesn't hurt anymore. I'm going to change clothes and train."

The passage from the locker room leads to the stadium, and Liu Mang is preparing to escape from there.

"Tyshawn, Kwame, please accompany Ace to change clothes. If Ace has a stomachache again, help him..."

Seeing the two guys coming next to him under the command of Jason Terry, who seemed to be guardians, one was Meng Hulu and the other was his admirer. Liu Mang felt that the world was dark. Why didn't he see this guy acting like this during the game?

He has leadership skills! He actually used the two guys who are the most honest and most admired among his teammates to stare at him.

Liu Mang felt desolate and went to change into training clothes, received massage and stretching, and then returned to the venue to train.

After returning to the training ground, seeing the twinkling eyes of his teammates, Liu Mang silently gave himself a hint: "As long as I don't say anything, these people will have no shame in forcing themselves! Train, train!"

However, Liu Mang had just started to warm up. Today he was going to practice a mid-range turnaround jump shot from the bottom line on the right side of the basket, and someone came up to him.

"Ace, tell me, if anyone on our team wins the MVP, should we do something, such as inviting our teammates to have fun?" Jason Terry approached Liu Mang as if nothing happened.

I know it was just a casual question.

"..." Liu Mang was speechless, he knew it would be this!

Today is the day when the regular season MVP is announced, and in the next few days, major awards will be announced one after another.

As soon as he saw that all his teammates had arrived, and it was clearly not the time to gather for the warm-up of training until nine o'clock, Liu Mang knew that this group of people had come so early, and Liu Mang knew that something was wrong!

These guys want to block the young master! They are afraid that the young master will run away if they arrive late! Liu Mang is very angry: Is the young master like that?

Seeing Jason Terry, who was just in this position to practice shooting, Liu Mang really wanted to slap this little guy to death. You are behind the basket and you are shooting a crappy basket!

The position where Liu Mang is standing right now is exactly the starting point where he is going to run two laps around two connected basketball courts, right behind a basket!

"Ahem," Liu Mang coughed twice, as if he didn't understand what Jason Terry was saying: "MVP, this is a good thing. It's natural that someone can get the MVP, but it's his personal responsibility.

Glory, others will let him quietly enjoy the loneliness of success... Ouch... Hey... don't... what are you going to do... Qimo Chicken..."

Liu Mang was showing off when a group of teammates pressed towards him...

"Do you still want shame? Can you win the MVP without us? Give back personal honors? Still enjoy the loneliness silently..." Muhammad's electric drill arm began to circle on Liu Mang's head again.

Hearing what Muhammad said, Liu Mang was a little moved. Muhammad obviously wanted to turn Liu Mang's previous words into a joke. Their old teammates knew that Liu Mang was stingy.

I say this because of my character, but some teammates who have only been here for one year may be really disappointed, but if it becomes a complete joke, it doesn't matter. Muhammad has been able to play for so many years, and his emotional intelligence is naturally very high.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although MVP is a personal honor, the current MVP is a media vote, which is very different from the previous player voting. When players vote, they tend to ignore their performance and vote for their hearts.

Among the players who performed best this season, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, one of the MVPs was won in a season that did not reach the playoffs.

There are also Russell and Chamberlain. One year Russell won the MVP voted by the players, but the media voted for Chamberlain. In 1973, Dave Cowens won the MVP, but the media voted for it.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar voted for a while.

The current MVP is the best player on the best team. Even in the 1986-87 season, Jordan still failed to win the MVP despite his performance as the strongest scoring champion since Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor.

To win the MVP now, not only must you be strong, but your teammates must be strong as well. You also need your teammates not to be greedy for merit, and your teammates must sacrifice themselves. At the same time, you must have a good record, so that player can win the MVP.

Therefore, when Liu Mang had a great advantage in statistics and record, and the MVP was almost certain, his teammates were equally happy.

Muhammad was just trying to help Liu Mang make amends for what he had just said. Liu Mang was not stupid, he understood it right away, and was a little moved.

But Liu Mang's emotion towards Muhammad disappeared immediately. Feeling the attack from Muhammad's electric drill, Liu Mang began to struggle like a life-threatening creature, and immediately received a few more blows on his butt.

Several old guys who had been working with Liu Mang for three years caught Liu Mang and kicked him on the buttocks. As long as they didn't hurt him, they didn't know who started to pull Liu Mang's ears and take off Liu Mang's clothes. Finally...

A 22-year-old young man wearing a pair of boxer briefs huddled in a corner, looking at a dozen burly men around him, trembling, and feeling desolate in his heart: I have promised that I will be the future boss!

"Ace, I heard that when Duncan won the MVP last season and last season, he invited his teammates to Hawaii for half a month in the summer." Rahim said with a threatening face.

"I heard that when Iverson won the MVP in 2001, he rented a large cruise ship. It was bigger than the cruise ship you rented last time, Ace." This is Rasheed Wallace. He didn't deliberately make an expression.

Scary enough.

"I heard that O'Neal invited a Hollywood actress to come with him..." This is Jason Terry who wants to date a female star like crazy...

Seeing his teammates acting like they would use you as a substitute if they didn't agree, Liu Mang nodded crazily no matter what anyone said...

…

At nine o'clock in the morning on April 27, 2004, the NBA officially announced that this season's regular season MVP is Liumang from China.

Liu Mang looked at the TV screen and saw that he had received 95 of the 123 first-place votes and 28 second-place votes. That is, the 123 voting media experts all voted for him, and they were either the first-place votes or the second-place votes.

In the second vote, he got a total of 1146 points, defeating Garnett who got 10 first-place votes and a total of 672 points, Kobe who got 4 first-place votes and 313 points, and Kobe who got 1 first-place vote.

Duncan, who scored 105 points in one vote, won the MVP with the highest first-place vote share since O'Neal in 2000...

His teammates have already started cheering. Liu Mang, who should have been happy, is now feeling heartache!

It hurts, but it also hurts and makes me happy...

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for winning his first regular season MVP in his career. He will be rewarded with superstar points."

"Ding... because the host won the regular season MVP, he successfully jumped from a young star to a superstar player in the eyes of fans, establishing the league's status, establishing his position in the basketball world in the United States, China, and the world's basketball circles, becoming

Hall of Fame player candidate, earns rogue points."

Just these two rewards made Liu Mang more excited than any other reward!

Seeing that I already have a rogue value of more than 97.92 million, with the MVP, there will definitely be a wave of increase, and the goal of breaking 100 million is not far away!

Now, all it takes is to kill Kidd and let his budding talents bloom!

However, Liu Mang was very curious. What would happen if Kidd failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals? Liu Mang asked the system curiously.

The system immediately answered Liu Mang's doubt.

"Ding...if Jason Kidd is defeated by a team other than his host in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the task target will shift to the team that defeated Jason Kidd."

"!?" Liu Mang didn't expect this operation!

Who is that? Who is Kidd's opponent in the second round?

Liu Mang was so excited that he suddenly forgot who the Nets' opponent was. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was the Pacers...

Liu Mang thought about it. Although the Nets only had 44 wins, the "Big Three" were still pretty good. It was easy and comfortable to win against the Hornets in the first round, not much worse than the Pacers' win against the Heat.

Liu Mang remembers that in the original 2003-04 playoffs, the Pistons were unstoppable. Except for one team, no team could stop the Pistons. Even the Lakers were defeated by the Pistons 4-1.

, and the team that caused trouble for the Pistons was the Nets led by Kidd. Relying on Kidd's super performance in the playoffs, they unexpectedly reached the tiebreaker with the Pistons and the Nets in the tiebreaker.

Just lost.

The Pacers were not bad either. They reached the Eastern Conference Finals and defeated the Pistons twice. Although they relied on home court advantage, they were still powerful enough.

Let's fight! Liu Mang is now eagerly looking forward to the two teams fighting...

When Liu Mang was feeling sore and confused, someone tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw it was Coach Kruger.
To be continued...
