1196. The two people who made Liu Mang jealous
"Ding... The series of missions of the King of New Generation Players: The Future Is Yours has been completed, and the strongest suppression mission: Killing the Flash is about to begin. If Dwyane Wade fails to lead the team to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals of this season's playoffs, it will be deemed that
In order to complete the mission, if Dwyane Wade leads the team to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals of this season's playoffs, the host needs to lead the team to defeat Dwyane Wade. Mission reward: Talent skill fragments. Failure penalty: King of New Generation Players series
mission failed."
It’s finally here!
It has been four years since this mission was triggered in 2002. Liu Mang has been waiting for four years, and what he is waiting for is now!
As Liu Mang expected, suppressing Wade was the most difficult thing.
In the first round, the Heat took revenge on the Bulls. O'Neal was the key. O'Neal averaged 33 points per game against the Bulls. Without Eddie Curry, the Bulls' inside line was like a cash machine to O'Neal. Chandler defended Yao Ming. Players like O'Neal,
I was blown away every time.
However, in the second round of the series with the Nets, when O'Neal was targeted by Kidd, the confrontation between Wade and Carter was the key.
Carter averaged 30 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and Wade averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists per game. One is like Jordan, and the other is like... the nanny of the Heat, the kind who is both a father and a mother...
When Wade encountered Kidd's defense, he was able to perform like this, which was much better than James' performance in the second round.
Of course, this seems normal to Liu Mang. In the original time and space, although there were many things worth discussing, Wade was the one who had the last laugh this season in the original time and space, and was the championship MVP. Such a performance was very impressive.
normal.
Therefore, it is normal for Wade to become the protagonist of the strongest suppression mission.
However, despite being able to produce such data against Kidd, Liu Mang feels that Wade is much better than when he was in the third grade... After all, Wade is already 24 years old, has great talent, and is being oppressed by Liu Mang.
He was also encouraged by Pat Riley to encourage general pressure promotion.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang couldn't wait any longer. Wade was so strong that Liu Mang was no different than he was two years ago!
…
…
"In the future, I hope you can be my enemy"
It is different from what Duncan said to James after 10 years of playing, which was considered by many to be a "handover of power."
Duncan was already in his 30s at that time, and it seemed that he had declined significantly compared to the first eight years of his career. However, James led the team to the Finals alone in his fourth year. It seemed that he had a bright future. There was hope that James would be able to do it next season.
The sense of déjà vu after winning the championship, James was compared to Kobe and Wade after leading the team to the finals.
As for the original time and space, seven years had passed since Duncan said those words, touching James' Ginobili-style hair... I can only say that the old man is a bit bad...
After Liu Mang said those words to James, the media used lip reading to learn what Liu Mang said, and the media wrote it as encouragement to James and Liu Mang's desire for an opponent who could fight.
Liu Mang has become accustomed to the strange understanding of the media. If reporters didn't write like this, how could there be so many NBA stories about grievances, brotherhood, love and hate?
Teams that have won three consecutive championships always have the feeling of being alone and seeking defeat. If the Eagles win three consecutive championships this season, the Maimang combination will definitely be as far-reaching as the OK combination or the Piccio combination after the first three consecutive championships.
impression of dominance.
Moreover, compared to Jordan and O'Neal, Liu Mang's strongest helper has also changed, and it has changed from the most suitable helper for Liu Mang to a helper with most of the same functions as Liu Mang, that is, there is a lot of overlap in positions.
But Liu Mang still defended his title and won 73 games. After slacking off for one game in the playoffs, he has won 8 consecutive games and is undoubtedly the favorite to win this season.
Liu Mang looked at what the media wrote, and even he believed that that was what he meant...
…
After the Eagles finished the second round, the remaining three awards for the season were announced.
On May 15th, after voting by the media and head coaches, the league's first-defense and best-rookie lineups were announced.
The best lineup voted by the media.
As for the first-team guards, Liu Mang was selected into the first-team with 122 first-place votes. Kobe and Nash were tied! Kobe got 62 first-place votes and Nash got 55 first-place votes, but Nash had a little more second-place votes.
With the same score, they were tied for second among guards with the most votes, and were selected to the All-NBA First Team together.
For forwards, McGrady and James won two teams. McGrady averaged 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He averaged only 31 minutes per game. His efficiency was astonishingly high, with a 48% field goal percentage and 100% shooting.
The three-point shooting percentage of 37 is also very good.
James, second in the scoring list, averaged 30.5 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game. What is surprising is that this season he averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 34.5%.
The team reached the playoffs, and breaking through the first round may also increase the impression points for the media who voted in the second round, beating Nowitzki and Duncan to be selected for the first team.
As for center, O'Neal is still more favored by the media. O'Neal received 66 first-place votes, overwhelming Yao Ming who received 51 first-place votes. He defeated Yao Ming with a slight lead of 10 points and was selected to the first team.
For the second team, Dwyane Wade, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki and Yao Ming were selected together.
In terms of the third team, Steve Francis, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, Shawn Marion, and Kwame Brown were selected together.
For the best defensive team, the first defense was once again unable to choose. The head coaches each had their own opinions in voting, and in the end, seven players were selected for the first defense.
The only one who was unanimously defended was Andrei Kirilenko.
Jason Kidd, Tayshaun Prince, Kobe Bryant, Andrei Kirilenko, Ron Artest, Marcus Camby, Ben Wallace
People are selected for the first defense.
There are also six second defense players, Chauncey Billups, Dwyane Wade, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Kwame Brown.
Second defense.
This is the most chaotic All-Defensive lineup ever.
In addition to a separate vote for the center, there are five players selected for the All-Defensive Team for forwards and guards, and each of the forwards and guards selected for the All-Defensive Team accounted for more than 90% of the votes.
Liu Mang saw that he was ranked sixth among the guards with only 21 points...
The surprising thing is that McGrady and Kwame Brown were selected for the second defense at the same time, and Prince was selected for the first defense again. I thought that Kidd would play his usual excellent defensive performance after returning to health this season. Kobe's defense also improved after losing weight.
After recovering, it was difficult for Prince to be selected for the first defense. Unexpectedly, Prince received the same number of votes as Kidd and was tied for the first defense.
However, McGrady and Kwame Brown are both on the All-NBA Team... After the Hawks players watched the live press conference announcing the All-NBA Team and the All-Defensive Team, both McGrady and Kwame Brown felt like Liu Mang
The eyes of envy and hatred.
But both of them felt very happy! They were finally envied by Liu Mang...
In terms of the All-Rookie Team, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Charlie Villanueva, Andrew Bynum, and Andrew Bogut were selected to the Rookie First Team.
Raymond Felton, Marvin Williams, David Lee, Ryan Gomez, and Channing Frye were selected to the rookie second team.
Compared with the All-Rookie Teams of the past two years, the statistics of this year's All-Rookie Teams are worse than the last. Paul, Deron, Villanueva, Bynum, and Felton are the only five who average double figures in points per game.
And except for Paul, everyone else averaged 11 or 2 points per game, which was very poor compared to the top five in the 2003 class, and even compared with the Bulls and Jordan duo in the 2004 class.
Fortunately, the duel between Paul and Deron was there to support it, otherwise the 2005 class would have been too miserable.
David Lee played 49 games, averaging 5 points and 6 rebounds per game. He was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team. Other high-ranking rookies such as Marvin Williams did not perform as well as David Lee.
Being selected to the second team of rookies, although he is less than the outstanding rookies in 2006, it is still a big encouragement to David Lee.
…
The selection and defeat of the best team will inevitably affect the players currently playing in the playoffs.
Take Kidd and Wade for example. Wade was selected for the second team and the second defense. Although Kidd was on the first defense, he didn't get a single spot on the All-NBA team.
Kidd doesn’t have much objection to Carter’s selection to the All-NBA team. Carter averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and is his teammate. However, he is dissatisfied with Wade’s selection to the second team, although Wade averaged 27 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.
The assist data is even better than Carter's, but Kidd is dissatisfied.
Kidd publicly stated that Wade was not worthy of the secondary defense and expressed dissatisfaction that he was not selected for the best team.
And Wade is even more excited. If it weren't for Liu Mang, Nash, and Kobe Bryant's performance this season, breaking the historical record of wins, and leading the Suns' record without a significant decline despite Stoudemire being reimbursed, Kobe Bryant played
He has been the leading scorer in the past 30 years, second only to Liu Mang and Jordan, and his personal performance has been outstanding. It is normal that Wade failed to beat these three to be selected for the first team.
Moreover, Wade is the only player on the back line to get the first vote except Liu Mang, Kobe, and Nash, and Iverson did not get it.
That is to say, at present, the voting media and experts all regard Wade as the fourth defender in the league. This is wonderful for Wade.
Kidd regards Wade as a thorn in his side, but Wade is even more excited. Moreover, as the playoffs progress, Wade is getting better and better, and now he is more confident to beat Kidd!
