Chapter 1556 1555. Sixth Time of the Best of the Month!
After the regular season, the data awards began to be announced one after another.
What is a little unfamiliar to the Eagles is that for the first time in five years, no player from the Eagles won the regular season data king trophy.
The scoring champion is won by LeBron James of the Cavaliers, averaging 31.3 points per game. Anthony is second with 29.4 points per game, and Liu Mang is third with 28.5 points per game.
The rebounding leader was taken over by Dwight Howard of the Magic. He averaged 14.5 rebounds per game, which was an explosion. Tyson Chandler, who ranked second, averaged 13.1 rebounds per game, and Camby, who ranked third, averaged 12.9 rebounds per game. .
The assists king is won by Chris Paul of the Hornets, who averages 12 assists per game. Nash is second with 11.6 assists per game, Liu Mang is third with 10.4 assists per game, and Deron is fourth with just 10 assists per game. In assists, Iverson is fifth, averaging 9.6 assists per game.
The steals leader is won by Ron Artest of the Rockets, averaging 2.6 steals per game, Paul is second with 2.5 steals per game, and Gerald Wallace is third with 2.4 steals per game.
The block leader is won by Milicic of the Raptors, averaging 3.7 blocks per game, followed by Camby with 3.4 blocks per game, and Liu Mang with 3 blocks per game.
As for the two "negative" data kings, Nash ranks first in turnovers, averaging 3.8 turnovers per game, followed by Deron, who averages 3.7 turnovers per game, and Liu Mang, who ranks third with 3.6 turnovers per game.
In terms of fouls, Granger and Howard competed for supremacy. Both averaged 3.9 fouls per game, and they worked too hard on defense.
The foul kings Tracy McGrady and O'Neal averaged 3.7 fouls per game and could only tremble behind the two foul masters...
On the other hand, Duncan, Garnett, Artest, Milicic, and Liu Mang, the five players with amazing defensive efficiency this season, have an average number of fouls. Liu Mang averaged 3.1 fouls per game, which is already the most, but the foul list Didn’t even make it into the top thirty.
Artest averaged 3 fouls per game, Milicic averaged 2.8 fouls per game, Duncan averaged 2.5 fouls per game, and Garnett surprisingly only averaged 2.4 fouls per game.
Maybe for ordinary players, two or more fouls per game is a lot, but the top 50 players on the foul list, except for some special circumstances, are almost all defensive leaders of various teams. The top defensive players of each team commit more fouls. It's normal. If you commit less than 3 fouls, you will be very good. For example, Kobe Bryant averaged 3.3 fouls per game, and Yao Ming also had 3.1.
Those two guys, Duncan and Garnett...are just monsters at controlling fouls without letting the defense fall off because of it, just like Paul is monster at controlling assist-to-turnover ratio.
Looking at the picture in the news of the five big data kings taking a group photo with the data king award plate, Liu Mang felt a little bit jealous.
I used to dislike this data king because he was ugly, but for the first time in five years, there was no data king, and Liu Mang was really uncomfortable with it.
And I feel bad for my wallet...
Today is April 19th, the only rest day for the Eagles players. On the 20th and 21st, they will prepare for the first round of the playoffs.
Because of a hot post that appeared yesterday, whether Liu Mang's average of 28+10+6+3+1 per game this season can be called the "best in history" has become a hot topic.
This is a situation that has never happened in Liu Mang's previous three MVP seasons.
ESPN is the main media that fuels this topic and is building momentum for Liu Mang.
In order to reward the little Loli and hope that the little Loli can continue to work hard, Liu Mang took the little Loli out shopping on this rest day.
The more he wandered around, the more Liu Mang regretted...
"No wonder we drove out in a business car..." Liu Mang put a few bags into the car. Seeing the almost full compartment, he felt how much it cost to raise a lolita...
After closing the car door, Liu Mang sighed: "It is said that nine out of ten lolita are rich. The ancients would never deceive me..."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Forget it, have you put it away? Hurry up, there is still an auction, I can't make it..."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Liu Mang returns to the mall with Little Lolita...
The so-called auction is different from the kind of auction Liu Mang thought. It is a discount promotion activity for famous brand products. Taking advantage of the hot playoff atmosphere that the Hawks have brought to Atlanta, there are a large number of Georgia various products. Fans from the city, the United States, and the world gather here to engage in a wave of promotions.
…
The playoffs are getting closer and closer, and on April 20, the players of the New Jersey Nets came to Atlanta.
They are here for the fifth time in seven seasons, both tied with the Pistons.
But... things have changed. In previous years, when Nets players came to Atlanta, there would be a lot of media following them, but now there is nothing...
It's okay without Carter. The Nets without Kidd are no longer the Nets that reached the Finals for two consecutive years. Although the Nets have had a poor playoff record in the past four years, because of Kidd's presence, They were favorites every year in the playoffs, but they are no longer the favorites.
At 4:30 pm on April 22, the Hawks will play the playoff opener against the Nets, which is also the first game of the playoffs this season.
On that day, the Bulls played the Cavaliers, the Hornets played the Jazz, and the Lakers played the Rockets. The first game of the series between the Lakers and the Rockets was the finale of the playoff opener.
This year's playoff schedule is the same as last season. In the three rounds of playoffs before the finals, except for the two-day break between the second and third games, the intervals between other games are only one day.
When the Nets came to Atlanta, the Hawks had already begun preparing for the series with the Nets.
When the Hawks started preparing for the game, the Nets had just arrived in Atlanta. They had a day off on the 20th, and there were no training arrangements until the 21st... After this news broke, many fans lamented that the Nets were indeed not the Nets they once were. .
The Hawks ranked first in the league in the regular season this season. They only had two days of rest before starting training. On one of them, they held a celebration banquet and fan care activities. The Nets were at an absolute disadvantage. They had just arrived in Atlanta, and they had just arrived in Atlanta a day before the game. Genius begins training.
Although fans can also understand that the Nets really have no hope. Maybe the goal is just the playoffs and they are satisfied now, but it is still embarrassing compared to the Nets that never gave up in the playoffs in the past few years. Incessantly.
…
By April 21st, the Hawks' preparations for the Nets had been completed yesterday. There was nothing particularly worth preparing for. It was just that the Hawks coaching staff avoided being careless. The matter discussed today is who is more likely to win between the Cavaliers and the Bulls. Advance.
When discussing this, Liu Mang mourned for Xiao Zhanzhan...
It's too awful!
In Liu Mang's memory, the biggest setback James encountered during the peak period of his career was not the Spurs, but the Celtics!
As for why the Celtics relied on playing James until James formed a team?
Not Pierce, not Ray Allen, not Rondo, but Garnett!
It can be seen from Pierce's career resume that without Antoine Walker, he never made it to the playoffs. He even had the league's last record with 24 wins, and he didn't even get the No. 1 pick in the last place. sign……
Ray Allen also has no record of leading the team. Without Cassell, Ray Allen has only made the playoffs once in 9 years.
Garnett is undoubtedly the strongest of the Celtics' Big Three. Give an old Cassel and an old Sprewell a ruthless role that can win the regular season championship and MVP and enter the Western Conference Finals, regardless of character. No matter what, it is true that Garnett is very restrained by breakthrough players like James, and can help defend James to death before he has developed shooting skills.
Although James in this time and space has developed a three-pointer in advance that can be used as a conventional weapon with a shooting rate of about 334%, he does not dare to shoot more. He only throws three or four in a game. Oh my god.
It depends on how much Billups and Peja can help. Chandler's pick-and-roll is also one of the keys to Liu Mang's expectations for James.
But looking at the lineup, the Bulls are too strong against the Cavaliers.
After discussions between the Eagles' coaching staff and players, they felt that the Cavaliers' probability of advancing to the second round was at most 30%, so they still took the referee's whistle into consideration.
…
In the afternoon, the Eagles coaching staff did not arrange training, allowing the players to have a good rest and reserve physical strength and energy for the playoffs that will begin tomorrow.
However, the coaching staff kept Liu Mang.
The Eagles management received a notification from the league, the Player of the Month for April!
Liu Mang failed to win the Player of the Week award in the second week of April and was awarded by Sharif Rahim of the Magic. Rahim averaged 33 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game that week, helping the Magic win all 4 games. , beating the Eagles, who had 3 wins and 1 loss.
But the best aspect of the month is still Liu Mang!
Liu Mang's overall performance throughout the month is still the best among the players in the Eastern Conference!
Averaged 26.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 blocks and 2 steals per game!
The crazy number of blocks increased Liu Mang's average blocks per game to 3!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, league vice president Adam Silva, who came to Phillips Arena after having lunch with Hawks owner Price, handed the Player of the Month trophy to Liu Mang.
"Ace, you are incredible. You have been the best in the Eastern Conference all season. No, you are the best player in the league. We will definitely meet more and more times in the future." Silva shook hands with Liu Mang said.
"Of course, Mr. President." Liu Mang responded.
Hearing that the president narrowly won, instead of the previous Mr. Silva, Adam Silva's bald head seemed to flash at some point.
After exchanging a few words, Price and Adam Silva left together, not knowing what else was going on.
Seeing that Price and Adam Silva have such a good relationship, Liu Mang feels that Adam Silva seems to be much better than David Stern in getting support from the owners of various teams!
It is true that David Stern has continuously increased the attention of the NBA, but it seems that few owners have a good relationship with him, and Adam Silva is different.
But this is not important to Liu Mang, he is just a player. Now, what excites Liu Mang the most is the six times Best of the Month!
Liu Mang didn't even need to go online to read it. Just by hearing the reminder that the rogue value skyrocketed by 500,000, and the achievement reward of 50,000 superstar value, Liu Mang knew the sensation after the announcement of the best of the month!
Even more sensational than the five Best of the Month four years ago!
