Last season, the first round was played and the rest between rounds was compressed, but this season, after the first round, the league had to postpone the start of the next round, and the eight teams in the second round were given three to four days off.

The first team to start the second round is the Nets and Pacers, which will start on the 28th, the 29th is the annual Lake-Horse battle, and the first game of the second round of the Hawks will start on April 30, the same day as the Kings vs. Timberwolves.

Yesterday afternoon, Liu Mang looked at Wen Baker's star card, sad after Alexia and Levia came back from shopping, the flesh was disgusting and pasted on it, Levia was inconvenient for the past two days, Liu Mang forcibly took the beautiful senior sister into the room, and had a profound exchange between flesh and soul, and finally calmed down the grief and anger of the Anfernee Hardaway star card who made a mistake.

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

After a day off and a night of fun, Liu Mang re-invested in playoff mode, and arrived at the arena before eight o'clock.

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

Seeing that so many people were there, even Stockton, Liu Mang counted them, all fourteen teammates in the team were there, and several familiar trainers were also there, and they came earlier than himself, Liu Mang's heart was abrupt.

This group of people!

"What are you doing so early?" Liu Mang asked very jealously, feeling the urge to go home and train.

However, the series with the Pistons is about to start the day after tomorrow, the Pistons have come to Atlanta yesterday, and the head coach is Larry Brown, get off the plane to have lunch and start training in the afternoon, and the Hawks have to hurry up, so from ten o'clock to half past eleven this morning, there are two 30-minute tactical training sessions, and Liu Mang can't escape if he wants to.

"It's going to be the second round soon, of course we have to train early, we have to win the championship! You can't lose to the pistons. Jason Terry replied calmly, as if he didn't see the jealousy in Liu Mang's eyes.

This bunch of guys...... Liu Mang had an idea, covered his stomach and called: "Oh, my stomach hurts a little, you help me ask for a leave, I'll go to the hospital ......"

Liu Mang turned around and wanted to run, but almost as soon as he turned around, he was caught by two big men.

Seeing Rashid Wallace and Rahim holding one of his arms, Liu Mang's eyes widened, these two goods, who were still practicing shooting two seconds ago, framed themselves in an instant!

Why don't I see these two guys so fast when I usually play! was embarrassed by players like Iverson, Kobe, and Maddy, why didn't I see it so fast in the game!

"Ace, what hospital are you going to, do you look down on our team doctor? Chris, come, show Ace, he says he has a stomachache! Rashid Wallace called out, and Chris Lille, the team's number one team doctor, who succeeded Steve Callahan as head team doctor, popped up.

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

The passage in the locker room led to the court, and Liu Mang was ready to escape from there.

"Tyshawn, Kwame, you accompany Ace to change clothes, in case Ace has another stomach ache, you can help him ......"

Seeing the two people who seemed to be the left and right protectors next to him under the command of Jason Terry, one was a stuffy gourd and the other was his admirer, Liu Mang felt that the world was dark, how could he not see this guy so good at leadership when he was playing! actually stared at himself with the most honest of these two teammates and the guy he admired the most.

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

After returning to the training ground, seeing the flashing eyes of his teammates, Liu Mang silently hinted to himself: "As long as the master doesn't say it, this group of people has no face to force themselves!" Train Training! ”

However, Liu Mang just started to warm up, and today he was about to practice the mid-range turnaround jumper on the right side of the basket, and someone came up.

"Ace, you say, if anyone on our team wins the MVP, do you want to do something, such as inviting our teammates to play?" Jason Terry leaned over to Liu Mang's side, as if he didn't know anything and just asked casually.

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

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

As soon as he saw that all his teammates had arrived, it was clear that it was only time to gather at nine o'clock to prepare for the warm-up training, and this group of people came so early, Liu Mang knew that nothing was good!

This group of guys wants to block the master! I'm afraid that the master will run away if I'm late! Liu Mang was very angry in his heart: Is the master that kind of person?

Seeing Jason Terry who made a pose that happened to come to this position to practice shooting, Liu Mang really wanted to shoot this little man to death, you are behind the basket, shoot a fart basket!

Liu Mang is standing now, just the starting point of preparing to run two laps around the two basketball courts that are connected together, behind a basket!

"Ahem," Liu Mang coughed twice, as if he couldn't understand what Jason Terry said: "MVP, this is a good thing, someone can get the MVP, naturally it is worth being happy, no, it is his personal glory, others let him silently enjoy this successful loneliness...... Ouch...... Feed...... Other...... What are you going to do...... Chimo Chicken ......"

Liu Mang was pretending to be forced, and a group of teammates pressed towards him......

"Do you still want face? Can you get the MVP without us? Also personal honors? Still silently enjoying the loneliness...... "Muhammad's electric drill arm began to circle around Liu Mang's head again.

Hearing Muhammad's words, Liu Mang was a little moved in it, Muhammad obviously wanted to completely turn Liu Mang's previous words into a joke, their group of old teammates knew Liu Mang's door-picking character and said this, but the teammates who have only been here for a year may really be chilled, but it has completely become a joke, it doesn't matter, Muhammad can play for so many years, and his emotional intelligence is naturally very high.

Although MVP is a personal honor, the current MVP is a media vote, which is very different from the previous player vote, and the player vote tends to ignore the record and vote for the player who plays the best this season, such as Abdul-Jabbar, who has an MVP that was won in the season when he did not make the playoffs.

There are also Russell and Chamberlain, one year Russell won the MVP voted by the players, but the media voted for a while, it was Chamberlain, and Dave Cowens in 1973 won the MVP, but Abdul-Jabbar, who was voted by the media, won a while.

The current MVP is the best player of the best team, even in the 86-87 season, Jordan played the strongest scoring performance since Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor, but he still failed to win the MVP.

Now if you want to win the MVP, you must not only be strong yourself, but also be strong with your teammates, and you also need your teammates not to be greedy for merit and need your teammates to sacrifice, and at the same time you have to play a good record, so that player can win the MVP.

Therefore, when Liu Mang's data and record have a great advantage, and the MVP is almost certain, his teammates are just as happy.

Muhammad was helping Liu Mang make up for what he had just said, Liu Mang was not stupid, he understood it at once, and then he was a little moved.

But Liu Mang's emotion to Muhammad disappeared immediately, and when he felt the attack from Muhammad's electric drill, Liu Mang began to struggle like a trigger, and immediately took a few more blows to his buttocks.

A few old guys who have been partnered with Liu Mang for three years grabbed Liu Mang's ass and kicked it for a while, as long as they didn't kick it, and I don't know who started pulling Liu Mang's ears and picking Liu Mang's clothes, and finally ......

A 22-year-old man wearing a pair of boxers curled up in the corner, looking at the dozen or so big men around him, trembling, and his heart was very sad: The good master is 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." Raheem said with a threatening face.

"I heard that when Iverson got the MVP in '01, he rented a big oil tanker, which is more than the cruise ship you rented last time." This is Rashid Wallace, who doesn't deliberately make expressions, and it's scary enough.

I heard that O'Neal invited Hollywood actresses to ...... with him, "This is Jason Terry, who wants to date a female star and wants to go crazy......

Looking at his teammates' posture of using you as a substitute if you don't agree, Liu Mang nodded frantically no matter who he heard......

……

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

Liu Mang looked at the TV screen, he got 95 of the 123 first votes, 18 second votes, that is, 123 voting media and experts all voted for him, and it was either the first vote or the second vote, he got a total of 1076 votes, defeated Garnett who got 10 first votes and got a total of 672 points, Kobe Bryant who got 4 first votes and 313 points, and Duncan who got 1 first vote and 105 points, Won the MVP with the highest first-choice vote since O'Neal in 2000......

The teammates have already begun to cheer, and Liu Mang, who should have been happy, is now in pain!

While it hurts, it hurts and is happy......

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for winning the first regular season MVP of his career, and rewarding the superstar value of 100,000. ”

"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, established the status of the league, established the status of the basketball world in the basketball circles of the United States, China, and the world, became a Hall of Fame player candidate, and obtained 10,000,000 hooligan points. ”

Just these two rewards, but Liu Mang is more excited than any reward!

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

Now, it's time to kill Kidd and let the budding talent bloom!

It's just that Liu Mang is very curious, what if Kidd fails to make it to the East Finals? Liu Mang asked curiously.

The system immediately answered Liu Mang's doubt.

"Ding...... If Jason Kidd is defeated by a team other than the host in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the mission will shift to the team that defeated Jason Kidd. ”

“！？” Liu Mang didn't expect it to be this operation!

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

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

Liu Mang brushed it off, although the Nets only had 44 wins, the "Big Three" were still very powerful, and it was easy to win the Hornets in the first round, which was not much worse than the Pacers winning the Heat.

Liu Mang remembers that in the original 03-04 season playoffs, the Pistons can be said to be overwhelming, except for one team, no team can stop the Pistons, even the Lakers, they were killed 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, and the Pistons were stunned to tie seven, and the Nets lost the tie-break.

And the Pacers are not bad, they played to the Eastern Conference finals, and won two games against the Pistons, although they relied on home court advantage, but they were powerful enough.

Hit it, hit it! Liu Mang is now looking forward to the two teams fighting......

When Liu Mang was in pain and entanglement, he was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Coach Kruger.

"Ace, well done, worthy of my best student." Coach Kruger finished speaking and left.

didn't show too much emotion, just like usual, however, Coach Kruger praised Liu Mang this time!

This is a rare thing, although Liu Mang has been improving, getting better and better year by year, but Coach Kruger in addition to accommodating Liu Mang's tactical "Hu Lai", in addition to giving Liu Mang better ball treatment than other players with the same or even stronger strength than Liu Mang, usually put on a stinky face to Liu Mang.

But today, Liu Mang didn't expect to be praised by Coach Kruger!

Although it is just a simple sentence, Liu Mang is happier than being recognized by anyone for that sense of identity.

Just about to cry with joy and have a warm master and apprentice warmth full of love, the teammates surrounded him, Liu Mang put away his childish mentality and celebrated with his teammates.

Although Liu Mang had just been cheated with a lot of money by this group of people who killed thousands of knives, Liu Mang's flesh was so painful, but just like Muhammad said, Liu Mang agreed with that statement: Without teammates, there is no MVP of your own!

……

After celebrating with his teammates, at noon, Liu Mang took a leave of absence during the free training time in the afternoon, and when he returned home, Dinah and Alexia also took a leave of absence today, just to wait for the MVP award to be announced.

When Liu Mang returned home, he rang the doorbell with a black line and asked the bodyguard to open the door.

The big red lantern was hung high at the gate of the outer wall of the villa, and after entering the gate, the courtyard was red and beaming......

But seeing the three girls who rushed out after hearing the doorbell, the excited expressions, and the red wallpaper that was not put down in his hand, Liu Mang didn't care so much, and now picked up the little Lori who jumped over, and took a bite on the little Lori's face, of course, the most important thing is to eat little Lori tofu......
