In the second round of the playoffs, the Eagles' first game is played in the penultimate game.

Before the start of the second round, one of the most important but uncontroversial awards of the regular season of the season was announced.

The Spurs' Tim Duncan, with a super high percentage of 105 first-place votes, won the first regular season MVP of his career without any surprise.

The league's No. 1 record, in the case of David Robinson aging, Steve Smith not showing his former demeanor, Parker and Stephen Jackson are still young, Duncan is almost a single-core leader, and still strongly leads the Spurs to the league's first record for two consecutive years.

After the regular season MVP was announced, the second round of the playoffs also began

No. 1 Nets and Celtics series, the Nets travel to Boston to challenge the Celtics away.

There is no suspense in the series of the No. 2 Kings playing the Mavericks, but the style of painting is very different from that of the East, the Kings defeated the Mavericks 116-99 at home, and the Kings team that is enough to move to the Lakers for two consecutive championships is finally on the net!

After watching these two games, Liu Mang was heavy and a little excited.

Heavy because of the Nets.

It's horrible!

Sometimes it's not like giving him a chance and he'll be used, the Nets are not at all something that the Celtics can compete with!

At first, Liu Mang had high hopes, expecting that even if the Celtics couldn't kill the Nets, they would put some pressure on them.

Then I found that having home-court advantage and not having home-court advantage is just the difference between sweeping the opponent and a 4-1 opponent for the Nets, who have been like demons in the East for the past two years.

It's too horizontal!

The Nets were completely unaffected by Boston fans in the away game, and in the first game of the second round, they beat the Celtics on the road, with a score of 84-67!

The Nets were already very unhappy because the Celtics took advantage of the Celtics and snatched their second place, and the Hawks have to wait a little longer, so let's take the Celtics out first!

Limit the Celtics' full-court scoring to 67 points! The huge strength crushing made people very surprised.

This is as incredible as the original Nets reached the Finals for two consecutive years, and the season before these two years was only the bottom of the Eastern Conference and just won the No. 7 pick for two consecutive years!

Judging from the performance of the regular season, the Nets are second only to the Hawks in the East, with a slight advantage over the Celtics, if it weren't for the Hawks' deliberate loss to the Celtics, and the Nets forcibly sent the Celtics to second place in the East, the Celtics would have no chance at all.

But in terms of record and strength, the Nets didn't lead too many Eastern Conference playoff teams other than the Hawks in the regular season.

The first round is not easy to say, and the best-of-5 series has been criticized, and it was later lengthened to a best-of-seven system.

But it's the second round! The Nets are still beating their opponents to the point where they have no way to fight back!

This is also what many fans can't understand in the future, the Nets 01-02 season was originally only 50 wins in the East, and the 02-03 season was only 49 wins in the East, but in the 02-03 season, the East finals faced the Pistons, the first in the East, and it was still a sweep like chopping melons and vegetables, without suspense, whether it was the Celtics or the Pistons, or the gradually rising Pacers, they were all pressed and had no signs of struggle!

The Nets' dominance made Liu Mang feel that the Eastern Conference on his side was full of shadows.

But there's something to be excited about.

The Lakers are just as uncomfortable!

That damn little blacksmith, the Kings have officially launched the village Netcom, and he is not the only one who suffers in the division finals! The little blacksmith will suffer as well!

It's up to anyone to break through!

……

……

Soon, on the day of the Hawks' home game against the Detroit Pistons, the vicinity of Phillips Arena was quite lively, and the parking lots everywhere were full of cars, and Liu Mang could only drive the car to the team's player parking area, and only there were vacant places there.

"What about you two!" Liu Mang looked at the senior sister and little Lori who were fully armed, wearing masks, sunglasses on their faces, and sunhats.

"Of course!" Dinah replied forcefully, "Those reporters are so annoying that they all ran outside the school to take pictures secretly!" ”

"That's right, now I have to wear a mask to work, and the weather is fine now, but it's summer...... Oh, God! Alexia also looked at Liu Mang with resentment.

"Blame me!" Liu Mang didn't expect that he would be so popular in this "small" city.

"Of course it's uncle! Dinah has seen a lot of Chinese journalists! Dinah said dissatisfied.

"Forehead ......" Liu Mang is a little embarrassed, although there are many paparazzi in the United States, but American stars are relatively more down-to-earth, and they can often be seen on the street, and the words in China are a little hurt.

"Okay, okay, let's go in, I'm going to warm up." Liu Mang hurriedly changed the topic and urged the two to enter the hall together.

The Hawks reached the second round for the first time in five years, and Atlanta was like the New Year, with fans enthusiastic, and more than 17,000 tickets swept away as early as the first morning of the first round of tickets for the second round after the first round went on sale.

Or the more than 1,000 regular season fans who bought season tickets and can directly renew the playoffs are more comfortable and don't have to queue up to buy tickets.

This also shows how sluggish the Hawks were when the regular season had not yet started, with the Cavaliers, Knicks, and Lakers selling 30 to 40 percent of their tickets being season tickets, and the Hawks' season ticket share was the lowest in the league.

But next season should be much better.

When Liu Mang came to the training ground, he first had to go to the locker room to change his jersey, and the beauties went to the commercial area in the stadium to buy some drinks and snacks and wait for the game to start.

Coming to the training ground, after the start of the playoffs, the Hawks' training ground became much more crowded than the regular season, full of reporters and videographers interviewing, especially Raheem, who was selected as an All-Star starter this year.

When Liu Mang came in, he was immediately surrounded by a bunch of reporters.

Liu Mang is a little annoyed by the encirclement of reporters, his personality is generally not as good as black players who like to show themselves, such as showing muscles or something, yesterday there have been court stations and Xinhua News Agency, Phoenix Sports, ESPN, a certain bay, Canada, and some TV stations in the United Kingdom that want to broadcast this game live have been interviewed continuously.

But I still have to answer!

It's also part of the professional game.

Moreover, there are many domestic reporters who have not been given the opportunity to interview on the training day, and the familiarity of the same skin color makes Liu Mang can't bear to refuse.

He has been engaged in this industry before, and he understands that most reporters point to this for dinner, and if he finally has the right to interview and does not ask a word, then he can only rely on a few blind editors, or he will not have the opportunity to take on the front interview next time.

And most journalists ...... will choose a few blind knitting ......

So Liu Mang is still a little cowardly, and he has to coax it.

After a delay of nearly half an hour, Liu Mang finally escaped from a crowd of reporters and came to the locker room to change into his jersey for pre-game warm-up training.

For today's game, Liu Mang's confidence is even stronger!

After spending a full 62,000 superstar points, Liu Mang upgraded all his skills except fancy dunk and hot pot feast to level 5!

In addition, today, Liu Mang is ready to play the team's strength from the beginning of the series! So, the thing that I drew two days ago is still very useful although it is a cheat, and now is the best time to use it!

……

……

After the warm-up and stretching activities before the game, Liu Mang returned to the locker room to make some preparations.

That cheating daddy's star card, Nima also needs to have specific "equipment" to exert its power!

Liu Mang saw that there was no one in the locker room, and it was right to think about it, the players' entrance ceremony began immediately, and Liu Mang, a "willful" guy, often disappeared at the entrance ceremony.

Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief, took out a few things from a backpack specially brought from the wardrobe today, and was just about to put them on when a guy rushed in.

Depend on!

Who is not good, it is actually this guy!

"Hey, Ace, why are you still here?" Jason Terry asked curiously.

"I ...... Something's wrong, why are you still here? You're a starter! Liu Mang asked rhetorically.

"I just went to the bathroom, and I drank too much water during the previous interview, and I forgot to change my socks." After Jason Terry finished speaking, he quickly took out several pairs of socks from the closet.

“……”

Looking at Jason Terry wrapped in several layers of socks layer after layer, Liu Mang understood why this star card still designated equipment, and co-authored this guy really did this!

Three-storey or four-storey?

Looking at Jason Terry, who was wearing socks and a hairband, looking at himself, Liu Mang said angrily: "Why don't you leave?" ”

"I'll wait for you!" Jason Terry was yelled at a little aggrieved.

“……”

Nima!

Liu Mang gritted his teeth, and in Jason Terry's surprised gaze, as if imitating his behavior just now, put on three layers of socks, and then put on a headband......
