The playoffs were in full swing, and the Lakers easily swept the Trail Blazers 4-0 to advance to the second round after four games without much resistance.

Lillard is very good, but Liu Ren is even better, although Lillard averages 33 points per game, but only 36 percent shooting, Liu Ren's defense is extremely good.

At the same time, Liu Ren's ability to score steadily is too strong, after the playing time has improved, he has scored about 25 points in each of the four games, and it seems that he has been defending Lillard, occasionally holding the ball to attack, shooting three points, and attacking one or two times in the second time, and he will have 25 points after each game, averaging 25 points, 6 boards and 3 assists per game in four games, and he has played steadily in each game.

The Lakers swept the Trail Blazers to advance to the second round, and the situation in other series stabilized.

The Cavaliers won two straight games in Indiana to easily take the series point 3-1, returned to their home court to continue to win the game, and advanced to the second round 4-1.

The Thunder and Clippers are tied 3-2 and will likely end the series when they return to their home court, while the Spurs and Grizzlies are also tied 3-2 and will go to the Grizzlies' home court next.

On the Warriors' side, the Mavericks are really tenacious, and after the Warriors returned to their home court for two consecutive away games, they were gnawed by the Mavericks again, and the score became 3-2, and they were going to Dallas again.

The game between the Knicks and the Hornets is very good, the Knicks have a strong lineup, with Wade, Anthony, Stoudemire, Porzingis and other players with a beautiful style of play, and the Hornets also have Jeremy Lin who has championship experience and Al Jefferson, who has the strongest ability to score in the low post on the inside, as well as Kemba Walker, Batum, Courtney Lee and other players with excellent defense, giving the Knicks a great threat, but in the end, the big score does not look as fierce and good-looking, After losing Game 2, the Knicks went on to end the series 4-1 with no incidents in the next three games.

The 76ers also basically crushed the Raptors, after winning 1-1 on the road to grab the home court advantage, the 76ers returned to Philadelphia to win both games strongly, and the fifth game went to Toronto to visit without giving the Raptors a chance to continue struggling, and eliminated the Raptors 4-1.

The Raptors have been eliminated by a team with a top-four record in the East for the third year in a row and have been eliminated by a team with a worse record, which is not a matter of bad luck, but they just have a problem with the playoff style, but looking at their regular season playing so well, it really can't be said what is wrong with them.

The Celtics played the Hawks side and did not let the Cavaliers get their wish, and the Celtics also ended the playoffs 4-1.

When there were 7 1-1s, the media thought that there would be a lot of upsets in this year's playoffs, but I didn't expect this to be the first round of the tiger, except for the Spurs and Grizzlies, the other series were divided early, and the 76ers did not cause much turmoil in the playoffs, and it can only be said that the Raptors playoffs are really a bit miserable, and after the first game, people determined that the 76ers led by Isaiah Thomas are stronger than the Raptors.

On April 30, Liu Ren said that he was very unhappy on this day.

It's been two days since the end of the first round, and the Lakers don't practice much, and most of the time it's still about maintaining their condition.

The Spurs and the Grizzlies are playing hot, and it is not impossible to grab seven, the Lakers feel that the Spurs can win in the end, the Spurs are different from last year, the Spurs are aging too seriously last year, and this year the Spurs are like a change of blood, infusion of a lot of young blood, the average age is only 25 years old, one of the youngest teams in the NBA, except for the troika and David West, Dio, all players under the age of 30, and most of them are not even 25 years old.

And the Spurs' three old carriages are still very important, but they are no longer the absolute core, the Spurs' entire offense revolves around Leonard and Aldridge, although Aldridge has never been integrated into the Spurs system, the main scoring method is still singles, but he is strong! Playing at an All-Star level in a system that is not good at it.

Although such a Spurs can't catch up with the invincible them in 13 and 14, they are much better than last season when they were only strong but did not have the ability to continue fighting, and it is not worth fighting with the Grizzlies, and they will not be dragged to death by the Clippers like last season.

So the Lakers are preparing for the second round with the Spurs with peace of mind.

Liu Ren is also preparing with peace of mind, he may need more mid-range shots in the second round, so he has been practicing mid-range shooting, and his mid-range shooting ability with Kobe, Gasol, and Monroe is an important weapon against the Spurs.

Liu Ren has lost to the Spurs twice, the first time was when Howard was still alive, he was abused by Duncan and couldn't take care of himself, at that time, Howard, who was at his peak, had no power to fight back in front of the 37-year-old Duncan, after Kobe Bryant was injured, Howard was the best player of the Lakers, Howard couldn't bear it, and others naturally had no choice.

The 14-year Western Conference Finals was the only Western Conference Finals that Kobe Bryant lost in his career, and it was also the first time Liu Ren really played in the playoffs, and then he was bloodied by the Spurs led by Duncan.

So this time Liu Ren wants to get back on the field and is preparing very hard.

But then a blow came......

On this day, April 30, the NBA officially announced that the regular season MVP voting results were released, and Stephen Curry was unanimously elected as the regular season MVP!

Curry averaged 32 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season, the only player in the entire league who averaged 30+5+5 per game, which is quite rare in the entire NBA history, and players who have obtained this data can be counted on one hand.

Coupled with the second-best win record in NBA history with 73 wins, there is no suspense that Curry will be elected as the MVP of the regular season.

Liu Ren also knows that it is really difficult to win MVP with his own data, and the team's record is not particularly crushing other teams, but it doesn't prevent him from being very unhappy!

……

……

Curry, who was on the shores of Daming Lake, accepted the MVP trophy in the Dallas away locker room, and they didn't want to drag to a tiebreaker and were ready to win the series on the last day of April.

This MVP trophy Curry has long been in the bag, but when he actually got the trophy, he smiled like a big fat man of 160 pounds...... It seems that he is more than 160 pounds......

Getting the MVP trophy, Curry feels that he has more capital to compete with Liu Ren for the title of the strongest in the younger generation, at least in terms of personal honors, Curry is no worse than Liu Ren now!

The scoring title, Liu Ren took one, Curry beat Isaiah Thomas and Harden this year and got it back, both for a while, and now the regular season MVP, which is regarded as the highest personal honor, Curry also got it in the second year after Liu Ren.

However, Curry kept sneezing when he took the MVP trophy, and he was a little worried about whether he had a cold......
