: 1420. Sweeping promotion, doubtful awards

When the two alternative topics of "despicable and shameless Ai Liu" and "Chinese players who control NBA" were on the rise, the Hawks came to Detroit and began to prepare for the game with the Pistons.
With such a topic coming out, Liu Mang didn't care, and found it quite interesting.
It was mainly Liu Mang ’s own opponent, the Pistons. He did not analyze, but analyzed other teams. It was very interesting, even espn was also following the hype.
Anyway, Liu Mang will not lose a piece of meat. After a long time of cooperation between espn and Liu Mang, he also learned about Liu Mang ’s character, knowing what to do and what not to do. In terms of espn, Liu Mang is also regarded as the "lord of wealth ".
It came to Detroit that surprised Liu Mang.
The fans here ... are not as resistant to them the year before.
At the airport, there were fans wearing Liu Mang's former No. 1 Eagles jersey and fans wearing Dumas' initiative to let the Pistons No. 4 jersey for Bosh take pictures of Liu Mang and others.
The Pistons are very special. Their fame is very fond of retiring jerseys. In the future, Greg Monroe will also wear Rodman's jersey.
After a lapse of one year, Detroit has changed too much, mainly due to the collapse of the Pistons' strength and the departure of their "soul" Ben Wallace.
The Pistons had no hope of winning this time, and the Pistons fans also looked away. They didn't hold a sign at the airport to scold the Hawks as they did last year.
When we arrived at the hotel, we were all fans outside the hotel, and most of them were not Eagles fans, but Pistons fans.
After seeing the slogans held by the Pistons fans, Liu Mang understood ...
"Ace, come to Detroit to teach us to build a dynasty!"
"Ace, the next stop in Detroit?"
Slogans like this one after another.
With the passage of time, Grant Hill took the initiative to request a buyout with the Magic. After the buyout, he quickly joined the Hawks and slowly surfaced.
Grant Hill's mouth is not big. This kind of thing will always be known slowly. Grant Hill and McGrady drink and chat, they are heard, and then they are promoted.
"Grant, come to us, I will ask you to win ..."
This sentence was still a little bit hot in early April, but then it was dominated by the storm of "Snake Science".
But this time, it was used by the Pistons fans.
Seeing this, Liu Mang did not have any interest in the Pistons, but ... felt that time passed quickly!
The 4 + 1 maximum salary contract signed in 2004, this season is over, three years have passed. By the summer of 2008, he can jump out of the contract, of course, he will certainly jump out of the contract and sign a new long contract .
The current starting salary is very different from the starting salary of the year.
Liu Mang said to Jason Terry sitting next to him: "Jason, when I signed the contract, I was still thinking that four years was too long. I didn't expect it to be so soon next year."
"Yeah, I always feel like I'm living like this. Playing with you is too much trouble. I'm so tired every year. Forget it. I'm out of luck. I can only accompany you to play more than 100 games every year." Jason Terry Very helpless look.
"..." Liu Mang wanted to beat Jason Terry!
"Talking about feelings with this dwarf really hurts the liver!"
...
...
Listening to the fans cheering for Liu Mang and seeing a large number of fans wearing Liu Mang ’s No. 1 Eagles jerseys on the scene, it seems that many people are still Pistons fans. Billups wearing No. 1 jerseys is completely cold.
Once upon a time, Billups was very grateful for the Pistons' knowledge of the encounter and wanted to build a career here.
But now, he is still in the Pistons, but the Pistons fans are thinking of giving his No. 1 jersey to others.
Even if you give it to others, the person you want to give is actually the star of their opponents in the playoffs this year.
When the ruler of an era appears, most of the stars of that era will cry. Over the past few years, Billups has learned the meaning of this passage. He is the main background of Liu Mang ’s era.
But even so, Billups could not accept the scene in front of him.
Originally, even if it was just a trace of nostalgia, Billups still has a little bit of want to renew the contract, but now, completely hopeless.
On April 24, 2007, the third series of the Hawks and Pistons was a time when the Pistons completely ended.
99 to 77, the Hawks beat the Pistons with 22 points. Liu Mang played 39 minutes, 9 of 14 and 7 of 6 three-pointers. He easily scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists to help the Eagles easily win the match point.
Liu Mang continued to hold the title of Detroit Buster.
Speaking of that, the Pistons have played the playoffs with the Hawks for the fifth time in six years. It looks like they should be a deadly enemy, but in fact the Pistons have not given Liu Mang any threat from the beginning, and have been pressed Fight.
Moreover, although the Pistons fans cheered for Liu Mang, he still cheered for Liu Mang in the playoffs. Liu Mang didn't think there was anything special about it.
Detroit ... Liu Mang is really not interested!
And the words and deeds of the Pistons fans, let Liu Mang understand that there is a relatively difficult thing next season.
There must be a lot of rumors about his team change.
If there is no championship this season, that kind of rumors will be even worse!
If the contract is renewed in advance, then all rumors about this aspect will cease to exist.
But Liu Mang was reluctant to renew the contract in advance, which meant that the total salary of the new contract became lower.
Liu Mang is the key to the rapid growth of NBA income. The salary cap has increased every year. By 2008, he jumped out of the contract and renewed his contract. The salary must be high. After all, the Ace clause triggered by his contract is 30% of the salary cap in 2004. Although the salary cap for the 2004-2005 season relied on Liu Mang to have a slight increase from the original time and space, it was only 46 million, this season's salary cap is already 61 million, even if the growth in these two years has stagnated, it is much higher than that of that year.
Of course, if the record is good next season, everything is not a problem.
Mainly to win!
...
Another day later, on April 26, the fourth game of the Hawks and Pistons series came.
"Chris, I heard that your heart hurt before?" Liu Mang asked from the technical desk.
Bosh also had no hope of winning. Since the fans wanted to solicit Liu Mang, Bosh was naturally willing to help solicit, and he could not be partnered with Liu Mang, so he saw Liu Mang leaning on the technical table before the game , Immediately past the set almost.
Hearing Liu Mang ’s words, Bosh nodded and said, "Boss Ace, do n’t worry, I ’m not a big problem."
"Still pay attention, today your season is coming to an end, take a break, go and see Cleveland Cardiovascular Hospital, where the cardiovascular medical technology is the best in the United States, and Johns Hopkins Hospital can also Go and see, this kind of thing can't be careless. "Liu Mang suggested.
"..." Bosh was so speechless, it was too straightforward!
Although Bosh does feel that today is his last game of the season ...
But Liu Mang was very touched by Liu Mang's concern, and Liu Mang said so, Bosh was really worried about his heart.
Then ... Bosh couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Ace, I know, I will go to check, you can rest assured. But your team really cares about medical treatment! You know everything about this. "
"Uh ... our team doctor is the best in the world ..." Liu Mang didn't know how to answer, would he say: in the future you just depended on the Cleveland Cardiovascular Hospital and didn't die ...
The Eagles hired a medical consultant for $ 4 million a year, and the surgery and medical expenses were paid separately. The Eagles medical team has been recruiting famous doctors from some major hospitals to expand the medical group. Such a bold behavior has made many players. Have noticed.
But ... the businessman ’s vision, even if it ’s worse, is different from ordinary people. Price has signed a medical cooperation agreement with the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Warriors. The other two league teams in the four major leagues are every year. To pay millions to the Eagles to borrow the Eagles medical team.
After spending so much money, the Hawks finally made money.
Liu Mang thought of this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The boss has no talent for team building, he has a set of business, and the people in the big family are really ..."
...
There was no unexpected situation that other fans expected. The score was 122 to 79 and the difference was 43 points. The Hawks slaughtered the Pistons and swept 4 to 0.
Liu Mang still failed to get 40+, 33 points, 9 rebounds and 0 assists. Liu Mang played 27 minutes in this game and had desperately cast. He made 28 shots in 27 minutes, with one shot per minute and an offensive rebound. He grabbed 5 of them, but unfortunately only got 10 of 28. He fought hard and didn't pass the ball and only got 33 points.
The Pistons have no fighting spirit at all, from desperate coach Sanders to Billups, who has completely lost his love for the team, there is no tendency to struggle.
When encountering Liu Mang, who is in the spring and autumn, coach Sanders can only recognize it.
Coach Sanders feels that he still has to start rebuilding as soon as possible and start again around the core of Bosh. Bosh, who is only 23 years old, has a bright future.
When it is broken, you can't do silly things like the previous Timberwolves. This is the biggest gain coach Sanders got in the Timberwolves.
After the Hawks swept the Pistons, they went back to Atlanta that night.
This was a charter charter booked in the beginning. Although Detroit fans ’emotions towards the Hawks have changed from hating Liu Mang to hate two years ago to swaying their tails to pray for Liu Mang to join, the Eagles do n’t worry about safety, but Now that you are all ready to go home after the game, go straight back, not afraid of 10,000.
The more this time, the more extreme things are likely to happen, and this kind of thing must be strangled in the budding stage.
...
The Hawks swept the Pistons, not the first team to advance. The Cavaliers swept the Wizards on the 25th. Like the Hawks, they ended the series in eight days.
Although Liu Mang gave the Wizards a move, it didn't work. The gap between the two teams was too large and the move was useless.
The series of these two teams has lost a lot of attention since 2 to 0. Although Liu Mang and James are very popular, it can be seen in the first two games that the Pistons and Wizards have no chance of winning. There is no chance at all. No.
People ’s attention is on the Warriors and Mavericks ...
3 to 1, the Warriors led the Mavericks 3-1.
The Warriors returned to home for the next two games, 110 to 90, 103 to 89. The Warriors won the game without a point difference within 10 points, all of which were victory in the crushing level.
Baron Davis played mvp in this series, averaging 27 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in four games.
The Mavericks are supported by Josh Howard. The Warriors have three performances of Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Jason Richardson, averaging 20+ per game. Howard averaged 22 points per game, and Nowitzki averaged only 19 points per game. Although he averaged 14 rebounds per game, it showed that Nowitzki's playoff rebounds are stronger than Garnett and Duncan. Wisky scored a 33% shooting percentage in four games, a total of 28 out of 84 shots, and his performance continued to slump.
When Crawford broke out after a game, the Mavericks couldn't do it.
1 to 3 behind, less than 10% chance of overturning ...
The Pistons were blacked by the Hawks, which was expected by the fans from the beginning.
But the Mavericks were black eight, and that was a shattering stone. From the first game, it attracted everyone ’s attention, and even played anxious, and soon entered the Nuggets and Jazz star battle, magic and The attention of the Raptors' center battle has been robbed a lot.
The Spurs were beaten by the Suns to a 3-1, and they won the third game hard, only to avoid being swept.
In the original time and space, the Spurs were not as strong as the sun in terms of strength in 2007. Although the Spurs got Artest, the defense improved a grade, but the offensive end is their big problem. Biao defensive offense is paralyzed and attacked. ... Anyone but the Eagles and the Lakers can be better than the Suns?
Even when playing the Lakers, the Spurs don't have such a big disadvantage, but they are the Suns, with O'Neal who still barely maintains the strength of the top stars. Nash and Gentry also came up with many ways to deal with the Spurs ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ Raja Bell ’s defense, dirtier Suns defense ... and the Hawks assists ...
However, the Suns are finally turning over the Spurs, but the attention is not high.
The Mavericks are awesome!
He took the initiative to send the Warriors into the playoffs and picked a rival to hunt for himself.
The winner is the king and the loser is the invader. This is the truth since ancient times.
When the Mavericks chose the Warriors as opponents, everyone felt that the Mavericks were shameless, because the Clippers played in the second round of the playoffs last year. Bima feels that the Warriors, who haven't made the playoffs in 12 years, are best dealt with.
But now, the Mavericks' choice to pick opponents becomes a laughing stock.
The little general Johnson, an apprentice who wanted to challenge his teacher, mad scientist Nielsen, became the biggest laughing stock.
Is the Warriors better than the Mavericks from the perspective of the entire league?
Obviously impossible, if not for the Mavericks to release water, the Warriors' strength and Clippers, supersonic speed is between Bozhong.
But the Warriors just restrained the Mavericks.
This is the key to the Mavericks becoming a laughing stock.
Knowing that the head coach of the opponent is old Nelson, they always wanted to avenge them, and they also chose the Warriors as their opponents.
This led to something strange ...
As the first round of the playoffs draws to a close, the league voted on the four awards: best rookie, mvp, best coach, and best manager.
On April 26, the day the Hawks advanced, the voting for the four awards to be announced in the first round was over.
On April 27th, the first award for the best coach announced was not the Mavericks coach Avery Johnson that people thought would win the award at the beginning, but the Raptors coach Sam Mitchell!
