From today on is the king

Chapter 965 964. As expected of the god of basketball

(I'm sorry I misremembered the rules at the end of the last game. A malicious foul that is valid for a goal is 1 penalty and 1 throw. If the criminal fails to make a goal, it is 60 free throws and 60 throw. However, it didn't matter much. In the end, Liu Mang still scored more than [-] points, exactly [-] points.)
……

39投21中, 三分14中6，罚球15罚12中，刘莽单场拿到60分！
"... 60 points? I just found out that I've got 60 points. It's great, but it doesn't mean anything. I just played my normal game. The Pistons played well, they almost won, but we were the best.

MVP?Hmm... Can the MVP change to a champion?I have an MVP trophy at home, help me change it to a champion! "

After the game, the Eagles opened the locker room for interviews. After accepting the last interview, Liu Mang turned around and picked up a bath towel and a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

The reporters got used to watching Liu Mang finish his last sentence in a pretentious manner, and then asked other members of the Eagles to interview.

Liu Mang scored 60 points in a single game in the playoffs, breaking the sky.

Even if Elgin Baylor with 61 points in the Finals is included, only three people in NBA history have scored 60 points in the playoffs. If it is considered modern basketball, only Liu Mang and Jordan have achieved it!
Lower the standard to 50+ in the playoffs. Among the active players, apart from Liu Mang, Iverson and Carter have done it. Among them, Iverson has won 3+ in the playoffs three times, and Liu Mang has only played four seasons, and he has completed it twice!
With Liu Mang's style of play, he will break Iverson's record of 50+ playoff games in the future. As far as Liu Mang has finished this game so far, there will be no major problems.

As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven, and the players, coaches, trainers, etc. of the Eagles have become the targets of journalists rushing to interview. The Pistons, which lost the game, are also surrounded by reporters, mainly because the Eagles have already been crowded by reporters. The Pistons players were also asked about Liu Mang.

And Billups, who scored 45 points in a single game and soared 19 points in the final quarter, played brilliantly, not many people remember...

……

"Who is the MVP?"

ESPN quickly released such news after the game between the Eagles and the Pistons.

With the entry into the Eastern Conference Finals, the awards have been announced one after another.

The best defensive player was won by Ben Wallace, the best rookie was won by Emeka Okafor, there was no one on the Eagles in the rookie first team, Iguodala was selected in the rookie second team, and the quality of the 04 draft was average.

Ben Wallace was at his peak, Okafor was unbeatable in the rookie season of the 04 generation, D'Antoni helped the Suns win 35 more games, the Sonics used Radmanovich and got Francis to take off in the first round, and Ben Gordon beat Jason Terry to get the best sixth man.

Now it is short of the best team and best defensive team announced on May 5.

Voting will be on May 5, the day after the first game of the East and West finals. The media and the head coaches of each team will vote for the best team and the best defensive team respectively.

Generally speaking, the MVP is determined for one team, of course there are exceptions. Russell has had the second team MVP, but that is already a matter of the ancient times of the NBA.

The MVP of the regular season has been voted by the media. The MVP is always the one with the most votes. After all, both the MVP and the first team are chosen by them.

But this year is a bit different. The Eagles have a scoring leader and an assists leader, both of whom are guard players.

It’s okay for Nash to perform better than Tracy McGrady. It’s okay for Nash to play for a while, but will Nash become embarrassingly another MVP player who is not the first player in the All-NBA team since Karl Malone in the 1996-1997 season?
Although these awards are all regular season awards, it is hard to say whether the performance in the playoffs will affect the votes of the media and coaches.

ESPN threw out the topic of who the MVP should be, and quelled a lot of MVP debates after Nash's wonderful performance against the Mavericks in the second round, and ignited it again.

……

Fans were talking about it, and players who were in the Eastern Conference finals and who had gone fishing were forced to participate in the discussion.

Some players really feel that Liu Mang is so good that they are convinced, but only a very small number of them. Most of them don't want to comment, but they can only comment when asked.

Most of the current players use the official answers to answer, and now the players have also learned, if the answer is not good, they will be said "you can't eat grapes, say grapes are sour".

Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor and Bobcats small owner and team executive Michael Jordan are naturally two people who must be interviewed.

Elgin Baylor is okay. He has been retired for decades, and he can’t say anything without winning a championship. He encouraged his juniors, and then expressed his welcome to Chinese fans to watch the Clippers game.

Boss Qiao said in an interview: "Ace is my most proud disciple. Of course he can do what I can do. It's not surprising."

When this word reached Liu Mang, Stockton, and Ma Long, all three of them were stunned.

It's okay to be shameless to this extent!
There was no way for Liu Mang to refute what he said!
Shuangsha secretly scolded himself for being inferior to Boss Qiao, not being as shameless as they are, they are the closest, and they would have known how good it was to say that during the interview, and they would have more face.

No.1 in history, as expected, it is number one in all aspects...

……

……

After the Eagles played the first game against the Pistons, their morale improved further!
After winning such a difficult game, what are you afraid of later?
Just like the unlucky version of Kobe in the Finals who didn't shoot or call a timeout, causing the Cavaliers to lose at the last moment and the morale of the Cosmos team soaring. The Eagles feel that this round of the series cannot be more difficult than the first game.

Moreover, the Pistons raised the enthusiasm of the Eagles. The Eagles coaching staff saw that their players were so excited that they wanted to play the second game, and they all followed excitedly to study the wonderful tactical changes of the Pistons in the first game, preparing to break through.

For the game, on-the-spot reaction is very important, but what is more important is the preparation before the game. The work of the coaching staff is much more complicated than imagined.

On May 5th, the day of the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Suns and the Spurs, the Eagles held a team meeting in the morning. After the coaching staff analyzed the Pistons' tactical system, they conducted three tactical training sessions in the afternoon, and then began to rest. The second game will start tomorrow, and the Eagles mainly rested.

……

"Uncle, don't watch the Spurs game, it's so ugly, let's go play games!"

"Kids need to do more homework! What kind of games are you playing!"

"But the teacher told Dinah to play more. When she grows up, she has to work and take a certificate test, so she has no time to play!"

"Then watch the game with uncle."

"Ah... no..."

"I'll buy you a game suit tomorrow."

"Dinah loves watching the Spurs games the most!"

In the evening, Liu Mang returned home and watched the national live broadcast of the Suns playing the Spurs with San Niu.

Like most of the fans, the three girls, including a little loli in her teens, were not interested in the Spurs game. Levia and Alexia were okay, and they were idle, so the little loli started to complain directly.

The executives of the league, the American Cable TV and TNT TV stations that broadcast the game were all in pain. They expected that the Spurs game would not be good... Then, they were slapped in the face.

The Spurs actually played a soaring point battle with the Suns!
To say that it is soaring points is actually not counted, the Spurs are mainly stable!
On the inside, Duncan and Bunch Wells cut through Stoudemire and Marion!

Several major outside shooters of the Spurs: Brent Barry, Devin Brown, Benno Udry, Robert Hawley, and Bowen, who can't play for too long but is good at spotting three-pointers, the five major pitchers made 11 three-pointers together!With the addition of Ginobili's two three-pointers, the Spurs made 26 of 13 three-pointers in the game!Sunnier than the Suns!

On the other hand, the Suns turned into an inside scoring team. Stoudemire scored 37 points, Nash scored 33 points and 12 assists. The two scored 70 points together, but they only made 22 of 7 outside three-pointers!
The Spurs combined the Rockets, the Eagles' approach to the Suns, and the Spurs' own rhythm control to lock the Suns three points!
The most obvious point is that Nash made 25 of 14 shots from mid-range and under the basket in this game, made 5 of 5 free throws and scored 33 points, but he didn't take a single outside shot!
The two teams actually didn't take many shots, but the game was really good. The Suns' poor defense made the Spurs look like an offensive team. The positional battle allowed the Spurs to shoot 50.00% of the team's field goal percentage, which was 50.00 percentage points higher than the 126% field goal percentage that the Eagles played a day ago. The Spurs scored [-] points!
Although the Suns also shot 40.00% from the field and took more shots than the Spurs, they only scored 114 points.

Although Duncan only scored 21 points and seemed to be overwhelmed by Stoudemire, he blocked Nash's three-pointer from outside the three-point line, supplemented defense against Marion's air cut, and assisted defense against Joe Johnson's post play. Played the most critical role!
The most important thing is that the Suns' outside air cuts are extremely unsuitable for the call of the Western Conference Finals, and they can't get the whistle!
Duncan's 21 points, Bunch Wells' 28 points, Ginobili's 25 points, and a group of pitchers combined to score more than 30 points, etc. In the scoring battle, the Spurs used an unexpected way to soar the points. The battle, 126 to 114, won the Suns by 12 points!
Although people expected the Spurs to have an advantage over the Suns, the two teams played against the Suns in the regular season. Although the Spurs only drew 2-2 with the Suns, the Spurs first suppressed and then rose. They lost two games first and won the last two games, but the score was low. The Spurs only scored 126 points.

San Niu was not interested at first, but watching and watching, she saw that the Spurs' tactical running positions got open shots again and again, the Suns interspersed with running positions, and Nash and Stoudemire used double cooperation to score from the middle distance and the basket. The game was really good!
Liu Mang was still looking forward to whether the Suns could get rid of the Spurs. After all, the Spurs were crippled by Bowen and replaced by Bunche Wells, who had a stronger offense.

Playing against the Spurs...well, at least it's a bit similar to the Pistons. They are opponents with good defense and a complete defensive system.

It's a pity for Nash. At his personal best, Stoudemire was only in the third grade and hadn't fully grown up yet.

……

On May 5, the head coaches of 16 teams voted by fax for the three best defensive players at the center position, the six best defensive players at the forward position, and the six best defensive players at the guard position in their minds for the best defensive lineup. Among them, the forward and the guard each have two votes for the first, second, and third teams. Of course, the final best defensive team is only the first team and the second team.

99 invited media and expert commentators and commentators arrived in New York to vote by name.

The final award will be announced on the morning of the 17th.

The night of the 16th is the second game in the series between the Eagles and the Pistons.

After a day of deliberation, the league repeatedly re-examined Delfino's criminal, and finally determined that Delfino's malicious foul was a first-degree malicious foul. The reason was that there was no fight and Liu Mang was not injured...

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the league is here to "protect" the Pistons, otherwise the Pistons will lose one of their five main players, how can they play against the Eagles.

The Pistons and the Eagles played such a game, and the league was stunned. Liu Mang scored 60 points, and the Pistons also scored a high score. The game lasted to the end and played the best Eastern Conference Finals in recent years.

What's more, the Spurs and the Suns' offensive game also soared. David Stern felt like the iron tree was blooming. The teams he hated most and once hated all played offensive basketball!
Although there was a small episode in the game between the Eagles and the Pistons, they did not fight and no one was injured, which made the Eastern Conference finals more interesting. David Stern finally decided to let the Eastern Conference Finals continue to be hot.

It's just... when it came time to play in the evening, David Stern's exciting Eastern Conference finals fight... seemed to be over...

David Stern happily turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast at night, and saw a one-sided game...
