729. If you dont pretend to be cool, its a waste of time.(1/2)
Liu Mang won the regular season MVP. In the United States, it was more because he had official recognition after confirming his league status. Previously, Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant fought each other, and in the two MVP battles with Garnett,
Liu Mang led the team to defeat the opponent, and with the guarantee of record, the MVP has long been locked in the minds of fans in the United States. Even fans of Garnett and Kobe, although they are not angry, do not think that their stars have the right to do so.
The opportunity for a comeback, the gap in performance, and the gap in statistics are quite large.
In the country, it caused a huge sensation. In the early morning in the United States, which is also the evening in China, Chaoting Channel, which is the largest, most authoritative, and most official news media in the country, at 7 p.m. prime time, all satellite TV stations in the country
In the news network, which must be broadcast in real time, news related to Liu Mang was reported for the second time!
The last time Liu Mang appeared on the news network, he was a Chinese and even Asia's first All-Star player.
This time, the history created by Liu Mang is even more unprecedented!
If Olajuwon, like Olajuwon, became an American citizen and helped the American team play in the World Series, Liu Mang is the first non-American in NBA history to win the regular season MVP!
The United States probably doesn't care too much because Olajuwon won the MVP and Mutombo won the Defensive Player of the Year. There are MVPs every year.
But it was different in China. When the news that Liu Mang won the MVP reached the country late at night, the Imperial Court Channel immediately sent someone to interview Liu Mang.
Liu Mang returned home yesterday afternoon. As soon as he started celebrating with the three girls, he was called back to the arena by coaches Price and Kruger for an exclusive interview.
The interview was very simple. Liu Mang's line was just one line: Thank you to the motherland and the fans who support me. I will work hard to create better honors in the NBA and bring glory to the country...
Liu Mang appeared on the news network for a total of 32 seconds. The reporter asked a question for 6 seconds, and he answered for 4 seconds. The remaining 22 seconds were used to introduce him as the MVP and the first non-American player in NBA history to win the MVP, making history.
…
For the first time, a Chinese won the best player in the top league in the two major sports of football and basketball, and the news network helped promote it. When Liu Mang woke up in the morning, he found that the rogue value had once again skyrocketed.
It was not as impressive as the 10 million rogue points that the fans saw at first, but it was still quite a lot. By noon, the growth rate had slowed down, but it had also increased by more than one million rogue points in the morning.
After all, when the news broadcast was broadcast, almost twenty hours had passed. Real sports fans already knew about this. Liu Mang was no longer the unknown person he was when there was no news about him in the country. Domestic fans had long been looking forward to this.
As it turns out, the earliest wave of exposure has actually passed.
Being on the news broadcast is mainly the pride of a Chinese basketball player!
…
Fans are hotly discussing that Liu Mang won the MVP. Some people think he deserves it, some think it is good luck, and some are scolding Liu Mang, the people who voted, and the league for giving Liu Mang the MVP for the sake of the market.
.
Players in the league also had different reactions. Players who have a good relationship with Liu Mang sent congratulations during interviews. Iverson, Stingy Cousins, Reed, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Wade, James...
...and everyone else sent congratulations. What made Liu Mang feel a little strange was that when Ma Long was sending congratulations, a fat man also came in to congratulate him, not afraid that someone on his team would be unhappy.
But when Liu Mang saw the news, he wished that O'Neal would say more and make someone even more unhappy.
Jordan, who was busy building a new team, also took the time to accept an interview and send his blessings, saying that Liu Mang is his best successor.
Some people are yin and yang, such as the Iron-blooded Brother and the Choke-Throat Brother among the three-headed monsters in Minnesota's famous five ugly ones.
When Liu Mang saw the news about the interview between these two people, he was very angry when he heard their strange words, which made them jealous and jealous.
Liu Mang's cell phone has also been ringing with calls and text messages. It has been ringing since yesterday. Liu Mang is answering calls and text messages one by one.
It's just that in these phone calls, these text messages, and the news interviews I saw, there was one person missing.
What about the iron-producing king of Los Angeles?
This guy neither accepted an interview nor called or sent text messages. Liu Mang was very worried about the little blacksmith!
Is this guy going to be pissed off?
Liu Mang felt that this was not possible, so he had to call him to annoy him... No, I wanted to see if there was anything wrong with the little blacksmith. We were all friends, so Liu Mang was very worried!
Liu Mang dialed the number with the note "Iron Man", which the young blacksmith had accidentally seen before but made him secretly happy for a long time. OK, Iron-Man, in the American mind, is this name.
He is a tough representative and very famous... This is one of the main reasons why the young blacksmith still has some recognition of Liu Mang...
Liu Mang dialed the number "Tetsunan", and a few seconds later, the English version of "The number you dialed is not available" came from the phone...
"Damn! This guy actually changed his mobile phone number without telling me! How unreasonable!" Liu Mang let out an angry roar!
Liu Mang roared, and the three girls in the living room were so frightened that they ran to Liu Mang's room. Then they saw Liu Mang throwing his cell phone down on the sofa and spitting wildly: "Damn little blacksmith Milan, not enough."
Brother! I want to take care of you, but I changed my mobile phone and didn’t tell me..."
Based on their understanding of Liu Mang, how could the three girls not know what happened?
"Uncle wants to bully Uncle Bryant again. Uncle is so mean!" Little Loli got under Liu Mang's arm and poked Liu Mang's angry face with her hand.
Levia and Alexia both laughed non-stop. Levia smiled and said: "Ace, you want to tease Kobe again? It's better not to, I'm afraid you will fight next time we meet."
Alexia and the little loli who got into Liu Mang's arms both nodded.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How is that possible! I just want to call and 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 MVP matters.
Force your attention back to the playoffs.
The championship is king. If you win the MVP, it will be too embarrassing. If you don't win the championship in the end, it will be a great shame. 70 wins and no championship... Liu Mang thought of the future predecessor of Team Universe... Immediately
Put aside the MVP, the MVP is just an honor for the regular season that has been played. Now that the regular season has passed, the playoffs are the focus!
After returning to the arena in the afternoon, the coaching staff also gave Liu Mang and other team members a psychological education class to build their minds so that they could return their attention to the playoffs.
But coach Kruger doesn't have to do this deliberately. Not only Liu Mang, but also other players also know that the playoffs are the most important. 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 became lower and lower. But after partnering with Liu Mang, they experienced the feeling of winning in the playoffs, which is addictive, especially
After losing twice, 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!
During the afternoon training, the Hawks players were extremely serious. Even if the opponent was the Pistons, the Hawks had swept them in the playoffs two years in a row and this year's regular season sweep, no one was careless.
The example of the Mavericks is right in front of us. They defeated 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 teams with the advantage played hard and wanted to win quickly, leaving more preparation time for the following series. They swept them all in the first round of this year, maybe
Liu Mang and his Eagles are the key reason.
You can't be careless, not against any opponent. Only after winning the championship can Liu Mang and his teammates dare to relax!
…
…
Two days have passed. The first game of the two series of the conference semifinals has been completed.
In the series between the Nets and the Pacers, the Nets, with a record of only 44 wins, actually had the upper hand!
Kidd was at his peak, and his dominance in the playoffs was really strong. In the original 2003-04 Eastern Conference playoffs, some people commented that if it weren't for Kidd's own knee,
I was pushed while fighting for a rebound with Ben Wallace, and I lost to Billups with the injury later on. The Nets really might have made it to the Finals for three consecutive years, but the Pistons had to beat the Nets in a seven-game tiebreaker.
In addition, Carter's ability to fight tough games in the playoffs is really underestimated. In the first game against the Pacers, under the leadership of Kidd, Carter scored 33 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, ranking first as the best defensive player.
Popular Ron Artest busted!
However, the overall strength of the Pacers is really strong, not much worse than the Nets. Carter broke out, and Kidd also got 9 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists. The Nets only won by 3 points, 98 to 98.
95 beat the Pacers.
But the most important thing is that the Nets defeated the Pacers on the road!
The Nets, who only won 44 games in the regular season, defeated the Pacers, who were second in the league with 60 wins!
This is the scariest thing.
But after the game between the Lakers and the Spurs on the 29th, Duncan watched the Lakers' 14 championship banners for a long time...
With 31 points, 22 rebounds and 5 blocks, Duncan had the upper hand against O'Neal for the second consecutive year, and he played with all his strength in this game, because Malone and Kobe, two mid-range shooters, once again showed off their power!
Although Bowen was beaten by Kobe in the playoffs in the past, he was able to restrict Kobe a little. Malik Rose, who seemed to be useful in the regular season, only realized the horror of Kobe and Bowen in the playoffs.
How difficult it was before...
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 still got 18 points and 11 rebounds, and also consumed Duncan, making Duncan unable to play in the final quarter and could only
Standing and grabbing rebounds.
The most important thing is that Ginobili was defended by Kobe who was going crazy today and only scored 8 points on 3-of-11 shots. As Duncan's strongest teammate, Ginobili couldn't perform in the playoffs, and Parker was still young and couldn't count on him.
Unfortunately, Duncan was left alone and helpless.
It is said that Duncan was a true single-core player in 2003, and this is not just said casually.
88 to 79, the first game of the series between the Lakers and the Spurs, the Lakers defended their first home court.
Liu Mang watched the live broadcast of these two games. Both games were very good to watch. The only thing that made Liu Mang feel a little inexplicably sad was... Can he still see that magical 0.4 seconds?
…
Time flies by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it’s April 30, the day when the Eagles play the Pistons at home.
To be continued...
