With three 4-0 sweeps, the Hawks, Suns, and Spurs all entered the second round early.

In other series, except for the SuperSonics, who won two consecutive games against the Nuggets on the road and tied 3-1, the Bulls returned to their home court and the Heat played two games to score 3-1, and the remaining three series were tied 2-2 and will play the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Most of the series was as expected, and although it was a bit of a surprise that the 76ers and Pistons were tied 2-2, it was still understandable that the Pistons' outside defense was a long-standing problem, Billups was not fast enough, and Hamilton was not defensive enough to prevent Iverson, who was willing to pass.

But the Heat actually fell behind the Bulls 1-3!

Liu Mang used to pay attention to his own team and didn't care about other series, but after returning to Atlanta, he noticed that the Bulls were 3-1 Heat!

Liu Mang analyzed, first of all, the Bulls' style of play is to restrain the Heat.

In the original time and space of 06, the Bulls played six games with the Heat in the first round, and O'Neal was very limited by Tyson Chandler.

Then it was 05 years, the Heat team except for Wade and O'Neal, all other points have no advantage over the Bulls, the overall strength of the Bulls is too strong, there are multiple quasi-first-class stars in each position, the Heat only have Wade and O'Neal, O'Neal was dealt with by the Bulls' inside wheel war, Wade on the outside has been playing badly against Sinrich, Hinrich is similar to the poor version of Stockton, the off-court image is good, and the on-court hand is not good.

The Heat were able to beat the Bulls in '06, in addition to Wade's peak performance, Jason Williams could organize the offense, Antoine Walker at the small forward position, Mourning and Payton on the bench to defend and Capono as a quasi-spot shooter.

The current Heat team, Mourning was snatched away by the Hawks, and no one can help O'Neal share the interior pressure.

Antoine Walker, Payton, Jason Williams, and Capono originally came to hug O'Neal's thigh this summer, and now they are all on other teams, that is, except for Wade and O'Neal, the Heat have nothing...... The original 07 playoffs Heat defending season was directly swept 4-0 by the Bulls, and this time the young Bulls beat the Heat 3-1!

The Hawks were a little caught off guard because the Heat were down 3-1 to the Bulls, and they didn't expect this to happen!

The Hawks coaching staff didn't feel anything when the Heat were 0-1, and they thought the Heat should be okay at 1-2, but on the night they returned to Atlanta, the Heat fell behind 1-3......

Originally, the Hawks were going to take a day off and start preparing for the second round against the Heat.

I really don't know what will happen now, in terms of record, the Heat have a chance to turn the tables, but the Bulls have a good chance of winning the series directly!

The Hawks coaching staff had to work overnight to prepare for a possible series with the Bulls.

However, relatively speaking, playing the Bulls ...... It's actually a good thing that the Eagles are scared here......

……

It's not just the Hawks' side that gets scared, the fans too.

After the Hawks advanced, people wanted to see when the Eagles' opponents in the next round would advance, and at first glance, they were about to advance, but it was not the Heat who advanced, but the Bulls......

Ben Gordon's nickname for Jordan on the bench is on fire again, and there is even a lot of clamor to make Ben Gordon the rookie who won the Sixth Man of the Year in his second rookie season since Liu Mang.

Jason Terry is depressed, he was supposed to have people recognize his regular season performance because of his first-round performance, and now he has a Ben Gordon!

NBA commissioner David Stern was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, Liu Mang + Maddie VS Wade + O'Neal in the second round, what a thing to watch!

Quickly instructed the referee union to make some changes in the scale of punishment.

David Stern now resents the existing rule that the first place in the division must be the top three in the division.

Originally, it was because there was no playoff team in a division when there were only 6 playoff teams in a division, so this rule was set so that the weaker division would not have no team to play the playoffs, so as to prevent fans in that division from losing enthusiasm for the NBA, but I didn't expect the Nets to rely on the first place in the division and ranked third in the East for two consecutive years.

The division protection system must not be abolished, the Atlantic division is too weak, and it is really difficult for a playoff team to have one, but David Stern has begun to consider abolishing the system of the first place in the division and the top three.

……

……

Although Liu Mang was shocked by the performance of the Bulls, he soon didn't take this matter to heart, whether it was against the Heat or the Bulls, it was the same, anyway, it was a game, the Bulls were okay in the regular season, 3 to 1, and the Heat team was a sweep! Even if the Heat team turned the tables, seeing that the Bulls' defensive strategy against the Heat team was effective, Liu Mang was more relieved.

The tactics of playing the Heat are effective, playing the Bulls, and abusing 58 points in the regular season have enough psychological advantages.

After Liu Mang rested for a day, he began his normal training.

The Eagles' tactical training has been postponed for a while, and the technical training is arranged, and the tactical aspect of the coaching staff is being replanned.

Both the Suns and Spurs were happy to see the Hawks panic and it was better to hang up in the second round.

The Spurs are basically sure that the second-round opponent is the SuperSonics, and the Suns have long been prepared that the Mavericks and Rockets will play very anxiously, and it is not surprising to them, it is really a matter of waiting for work.

……

Early in the morning of the 29th, Liu Mang came to the Phillips Arena with the little Lori on vacation, and Levia was going to send Alexia to the prenatal education classroom.

The main thing is that there is one more important thing today.

Liu Mang took the little Lori to the stadium, the little Lori helped pick up the ball, Emmanuol was responsible for passing, Liu Mang practiced three-point and mid-range shooting, practiced for more than an hour, and his teammates came to the stadium one after another at half past eight.

"Ace, when I went out this morning, I saw the sky burning red, I think you will definitely win the MVP today!" Jason Terry opened his mouth and started talking nonsense.

"Cut, Jason, although there is really a rising sun today, didn't you just wake up when I came to your house to call you? The sun has scorched the iron doors of your house! "Rashid Wallace poked Jason Terry's cowhide.

"Didn't I say something nice, we were first in the regular season, Ace was the scoring champion, who would win if he didn't win the MVP?" Jason Terry is poked and doesn't blush at all.

"Hello uncles." Little Lori picked up the ball and came up to say hello.

Seeing Xiao Lori, a group of big and rough people all said hello, and then went to change their training clothes and gathered in the lounge to watch the NBA's official press conference this morning.

Yesterday afternoon, on May 28th, the NBA's official regular season MVP voting ended, and today, on the morning of Game 5 of the series between the Heat and the Bulls, the NBA officially announced the regular season MVP for this season.

At almost nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang's group of training ended and took Dina to the lounge to wait for the NBA official announcement.

The press conference announced by the MVP was broadcast live on several major television stations in the United States, and the Hawks chose to watch ESPN's live broadcast.

At nine o'clock sharp, the press conference began, and after a highlight reel of the season's regular season highlights, David Stern's smiling face appeared in the picture.

After introducing the "excellent results" achieved in the regular season this season, it took more than ten minutes to blow a lot, and finally, it was time to announce the regular season MVP.

“…… In the 2004-2005 season, the winner of the NBA regular season MVP was...... Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash! ”

"Damn! There's shady! ”

"It's Nash? I'll go, those who voted voted with their butts? ”

"That's!"

“……”

“……”

Before Liu Mang could speak, his teammates began to be indignant.

The results of the vote were then shown on television.

Steve Nash received 41 percent of the votes, Liu Mang received 39 percent of the votes, Francis received 8 percent of the votes, Iverson received 4 percent of the votes, O'Neal received 3 percent of the votes, Maddie received 2 percent of the votes, and the other three percent of the votes were scattered among Kobe, Nowitzki, Duncan, Ginobili, Wade and others.

This year, a total of 125 journalists, professional basketball commentators, and basketball announcers voted, and Nash got 65 first-place votes, 55 second-place votes, and five third-place votes, and all voted for him.

Liu Mang got 49 first votes, 70 second votes, and 6 third votes, and everyone voted for him, but apparently recognized Nash more and gave Nash more first votes, and neither Nash nor Liu Mang got the fourth and fifth votes, and all of them got the top three votes.

And the two monopolized the second vote!

In particular, Liu Mang's 70 second votes represent the media's recognition of his performance, but more recognition of Nash.

Liu Mang was waiting for the MVP to be announced with great expectations, but the result made him not say a word.

Although I expected this to happen, I was still very unhappy.

The most important thing is that after the MVP results are announced, the prompt of the system's mission failure comes!

"Ding...... 2004-2005 Mission: Prologue to the Run-and-Bomb Era, Goal 1: The host team in the regular season must finish first in the NBA scoring rankings. Completed with 50,000 Superstar Points. Goal 2: Get the regular season MVP. Fail. Goal 3: Someone on the host's team needs to get the assist king. Done. Reward 1 number of draws with Premium Superstar value.

Prologue of the Run-Bomb Era, mission failure, failure to complete any of the three objectives is considered mission failure, but does not affect the separate reward for each goal, mission failure penalty: topless and chestless shouting with Steve Nash in a nightclub.

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward for failing the mission: Skill: Grandmaster Shouting.

The defeat penalty will start after the end of the host playoffs, at which time the host should complete it as soon as possible, after the playoffs, the host will grow the same chest hair as Steve Nash, and the chest hair will not disappear until the defeat penalty is completed (note: it will grow back quickly after shaving). ”

Hearing the details of the failed mission, I saw that there were only 16 first-place votes left on the TV screen, only a little bit short...... Liu Mang picked up the little Lori and left the lounge, pinching the little Lori's face to vent as he walked.

It's so uncomfortable!

MVPs are all second, they all won last year, and the most desperate thing is to go with Nash to show their chest hair and shout microphone!

......

Wait a minute......

After Liu Mang walked out of the lounge in the struggle of the little Lori, he suddenly thought of something, opened the system panel, and saw that the 207193 point of superstar value had increased by 50,000 superstar value, and the failure of the task would not affect the reward of the completed goal!

So that is......

Liu Mang took a look at the superstar value lottery section, and sure enough!

"Number of Lucky Draws (1)"

When Liu Mang saw this, he jumped up holding the little Lori!

Although Dinah was struggling, she was also sad because Liu Mang didn't win the MVP, and wanted to comfort Liu Mang, so she struggled and struggled, but she didn't really want to break free, but her cute face was pinched and hurt.

Now Liu Mang suddenly jumped up with excitement, so frightened that little Lori hurriedly hugged Liu Mang, so as not to be thrown away.

"Oops! Uncle didn't get the MVP and was mad! ”
