: 720. Opening of the playoffs!

Billboards everywhere on the streets of Atlanta are mostly promoting the Hawks playoffs.
From a few days ago, Atlanta seems to have become China Town, with Chinese tourists everywhere.
The difference between Chinese tourists and tourists from other yellow race countries in Asia is that Chinese tourists like to buy, buy, and buy ... Those who can travel abroad this year are not cheap.
Liu Mang ’s influence is greater than the original time and space. Yao Ming ’s influence in Houston is even greater, first because Atlanta is more suitable for tourism than Houston, and then Liu Mang ’s achievements since the three seasons are Yao Ming. I can't match my career.
A figure wearing a mask and a hood is also worn on the streets of Atlanta. This figure does not attract much attention. There are many people who stand alone in the United States.
Walking around, this stern figure that wrapped himself up came to a large mall less than one kilometer away from Phillips Arena and one of the largest malls in Atlanta-Phillips Shopping Center.
The large LED screen at the entrance of the shopping mall is playing the news interview of the Eagles this morning. Phillips Group, which has LED equipment, home electronics, large supermarket chains and other industries, is the Eagles ’largest sponsor and the stadium is built. At the time, half of the money and the subsequent equipment update and maintenance are responsible for the Phillips Group. Therefore, the promotion of the Eagles is also a means of self-promotion in turn.
In recent years, relying on the Hawks' record soaring and its influence becoming stronger, the Phillips Mall has become Atlanta's premier shopping mall.
The TV picture is broadcasting an interview with Liu Mang, the No. 1 Hawks player.
The reporter asked Liu Mang: "Ais, every time you meet the Knicks, you will play very well. Is there any hatred for the Knicks?"
Liu Mang replied arrogantly: "What hatred does the Knicks have? No, it just happened that we played well that day and scored 150 points. They didn't score. They only scored 80 points. We are all teams. The same style of play is not directed against them. Weakness is the original sin. They are just too weak, so all misfortunes will fall on them, just that we are on the same court. "
Seeing the nasty face on the TV screen, saying the nasty words, the hoodie man took off the mask, revealing a face full of vulgarity, and spit on the ground.
Stephen Marbury!
Yesterday, the Knicks had arrived in Atlanta, but nobody noticed them. Tomorrow is the day of the playoffs. Marbury saw the predictions of the major media that the Hawks had a 100% chance of advancing in the first round. , Almost all predictions are swept to advance.
This caused Marbury to be distraught, and came out to go shopping and relax while violating the team ’s strictest team rules set by Pat Riley that was not allowed to leave the hotel for private action during the playoffs. More and more unhappy.
Now seeing this interview video, Marbury is even more upset.
The interview on the TV screen continued, and the reporter continued to ask: "As you said, the biggest difference between the Knicks and your Hawks is the point guard. Where do you think you are stronger than Marbury?"
Liu Mang replied: "Actually, Marbury is better than me, but he can't play. The NBA is not suitable for him. He may be able to try our country's CBA league, which is more suitable for his style of play. He estimates in the NBA It will be cut like Ewing and Houston. Go to the CBA. He may be able to fight for a few more years. "
Overseas league!
Marbury wanted to find a brick to smash this big screen!
Too despise people!
Marbury swears: I, Stephen Marbury, even if I can't play ball one day, go bankrupt, starve to death, and don't go to that CBA mixed meal!

The three most authoritative sports media ESPN,
T.N.T
After the Sports Illustrated's playoff strength rankings came out, most fans agreed, and most of the three authoritative media were in the same ranking.
The Lakers are ranked first in the strength list. In view of the Lakers' achievements in the past four years, the current lineup is stronger. Most fans still recognize this ranking.
The Hawks ranked second, defying defending champions Spurs, third was the Spurs, fourth was the Nets who reached the finals for the second consecutive year last season, the fifth is the Timberwolves, the sixth is the Pacers, the seventh It ’s the Mavericks, the eighth is the King, the ninth is the Rockets, the tenth is the Pistons, the eleventh is the Grizzlies, the twelfth is the Nuggets, the thirteenth is the Hornets, the fourteenth is the Heat, and the fifteenth is the Bucks , The sixteenth is the Knicks.
Although the Rockets and Pistons are ranked ninth and tenth in the strength rankings, they are ranked in the bottom of the sixteen teams in terms of probability of winning the championship. Although the Rockets won 50 wins and ranked fourth in the East, they will meet the Lakers in the first round.
The Hawks are ranked second, pressing the defending champion Spurs. This is something that fans are dissatisfied with, but some fans have given their support.
The Hawks are averaging 106 points per game this season. The league is second only to the Mavericks. It averages 107.5 points per game. It averages 51 rebounds per game. It is higher than the Mavericks and Spurs with 46 rebounds per game. Five full games, 22.3 assists per game, 6th in the league, 89.7 points per game, 8th in the league, but 16.3 points per game, first in the league, the only team except the Timberwolves and Mavericks Teams with a goal difference of more than 5 points, while the Timberwolves, average 5.7 points per game, Mavericks average 5.1 points per game, is completely a crushing level of performance.
In addition, the Hawks scored very well. Except for a solo average of 33.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists, Rahim averaged 11 points and 13.9 rebounds in 74 games. Jason Terry averaged 18 points and 4 games in 82 games. 4 assists, Rashid Wallace averaged 12 points in 61 games, 7 rebounds. Stockton averaged 6.1 points, 5.5 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 60 games. Boozer played 9.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in 80 games. Teliff averaged 6.7 points and 7.1 rebounds and 3 blocks in 70 games. Kwame Brown played 7.6 points and 7.9 rebounds in 82 games. Muhammad played 4.6 points and 5.5 rebounds in 82 games ...
Players ’averages tend to add up to the team ’s season averages, because some players do n’t make it when others do.
Some fans have suggested that the Hawks have average data, a good record, and good overall statistics. If the Lakers give the impression that they are champions, the Hawks should not be ranked first.
Originally it was just the Eagles fans arguing with the Spurs fans, and later the Lakers were lying and the gun was pulled in ...
An Atlanta number one who did not want to be named, built several trumpets before going to bed, and left a message under the major posts: the most handsome Ai Liu team is the first in the playoffs ...
The predictions of the major awards also came out. The probability of winning the best coach, the Grizzlies coach Hobby Brown ranked first, the Timberwolves coach Philip Sanders ranked second, and the Pacers coach Rick Carlisle Ranked third, coach Kruger of the Hawks ranked only fourth.
In all MVP lists, Liu Mang is ranked first, second is Kevin Garnett, third Kobe Bryant, fourth is Ron Artest, fifth is Peja Stowe Jakovic, sixth is Tim Duncan, seventh is Shaq O'Neal, eighth is Sharif Rahim, ninth is Jason Kidd, and tenth is Ben Wallace.
Except for Liu Mang in the first place and Garnett in the second place, the rankings of the following few people have changed slightly, but the top six are these people.
In the top ten of the MVP list, either the scoring king contender, the rebounding contender, the best defensive player, or the one-on-one contender.
The best defensive player Artest's dominance is the same as that of Liu Mang. All list of Artest is the first, because it is a difficult thing to get the best defensive player from an outside line. When an outside line becomes the best defensive player hot, it is definitely that he has played strong enough defensive dominance, and even crushed the defensive performance of the inside line. The outside line has suffered from the defense of the tandem team.
The best rookie, some of the list cameo Anthony ranked first, LeBron James ranked second, and some of the list was reversed, James because of Liu Mang's influence, less Boozer This teammate averaged a little more points than Anthony. The data is still .9 + 6 + 5.6. In addition to Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan, another rookie in the NBA history is 20 + 5 + 5. , While Anthony's record is greatly improved, the rookie year led the team to the playoffs, the two are competing similarly.
The best sixth man, Jason Terry ranked first, Antoine Jamison ranked second, Bobby Jackson ranked third, Manu Ginobili ranked fourth.
The predictions of the previous awards are quite normal, and some rankings have caused controversy. For example, Duncan and O'Neill's rankings are generally low, but they are still reasonable.
When Liu Mang saw these rankings, he also felt that they were fairly fair and there was no particularly high-profile ranking.
However, when Liu Mang saw the prediction of the fastest progress award, he was speechless ...
The fastest progress award came first, named Ace Liu ...
Each ranking of each list has a reason behind. For example, Liu Mang ’s MVP ranking is first in all major lists, and the reasons given by each major list are the scoring king and 70 wins. Brutal reason.
The fastest progress award, Liu Mang ranked first, the reason is simple and rude.
19.3 points per game-33.1 points per game, 2.9 rebounds per game-3.8 rebounds per game, 4.4 assists per game-6.6 assists per game.
This is the comparison between Liu Mang's last season and this season's regular season, completely ignoring the fact that Liu Mang averaged only 11 points per game in the first 30 games last season and 25 points per game in the second half.
However, it seems reasonable and convincing!
Just like Liu Mang was speechless, after this list came out, the fans were in an uproar ...
After seeing Zac Randolph, who ranked second in the fastest progress award, from 8 points and 5 rebounds to 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, the progress is also great, but the fastest progress award mainly depends on the increase in scores. Dorf ’s scoring has not risen as much as Liu Mang ’s. Even if the average rebound rate is increased to 10, if both competitors are bad team players, Randolph ’s double rebounds will be considered for progress, but if the competition The opponent is Liu Mang, then the record improvement will be included in the scope of consideration, even if it is considered with the record of more than 60 wins two years ago, the Hawks have improved more than the Blazers, and the Blazers have a negative record. .
Fans have a very strange feeling, this feeling is very subtle, without regulations, MVP can not get the fastest progress award, fans have come up with weird ideas, this year's MVP to get the fastest progress award ?
The fastest progress award is the media vote. This time the predictions are so highly consistent that Liu Mang is ranked first. If Liu Mang and Randolph are evenly matched, it is not too much for the first and second predictions. Big question, but Liu Mang is ranked first in the major lists, and the fans feel that this is obvious!
Liu Mang's idea is that the media is doing things!
These guys just want to get some eye-catching things out!
But ... Liu Mang thinks it's not bad to win an award. The influence of public opinion brought about by this matter seems to be able to cause a lot of topics ... As for the limelight, the scoring king has taken it. Is there anything more popular? ?

"... Dina, what are you dressing up for?" Liu Mang saw Little Loli wearing a headband with the word "Champion" on her head, and wearing a big red rogue league eagle Chinese fan version The team's t-shirt, a look of blood, looked a little stunned.
"This was bought yesterday when Dina and her mother went shopping, isn't it great!" Little Lori twisted her little and showed No. 1 behind Liu Mang.
"..." Don't say, the soil is a bit soiled, but mainly looking at the face, Xiao Loli is too cute, seeing Xiao Loli's expression like a treasure, Liu Mang couldn't help but grab Xiao Loli ...
"Ah ... Uncle!"
"Dina is so cute!"
"Uncle takes Dina cheaper! Dina's face is about to be crushed!"
"When Dina grows up, she can't take advantage of it. First, take advantage of Dina's growing up ... You are not a South Korean, you can't take advantage of it."
Dina finally got rid of Liu Mang's devil's claws, hid behind Levia who had just come downstairs, made a grimace at Liu Mang, and said, "Mom, uncle is too much! Bullying Dina again!"
"Okay, let's go quickly, Aida, you come down quickly, and you'll be in a traffic jam again." Leviaia gave Liu Mang a helpless look and shouted upstairs.
Levia is considering whether to have a daughter. Originally, women and NBA stars, especially Liu Mang, who have earned tens of millions of dollars a year, have been hooked up. They may wish to have several children at once, but Levia is not lacking. Money, don't even consider this at all, it is easy to have a man, and it's still a match. Naturally, I want to be more happy for a few years. Anyway, she is only 30 years old and can wait two or three years.
But now the eldest daughter is so old, Liu Mang also mentioned many times to have a bunch of daughters, she also beat Liu Mang many times, but now, it seems that it is really time to regenerate one, Alexia Want to give birth to a boy ... Levia, who already knows a lot, knows the thoughts of Alexia who also knows a lot, the key is that Dina is also ten years old at the end ... Levia wants a daughter to transfer Liu Mang loves Dina too much ...
...
Yesterday's first round of the first day of the match, played ... not fierce at all, the Timberwolves crushed the Nuggets, Garnett was ranked second in the MVP, his anger made the Nuggets cry, just come up The super data of 33 points, 8 assists and 6 blocks was given to the Nuggets, leading the Timberwolves to kill the Nuggets 116 to 92.
Under Garnett's single defense, Anthony made 3 of 17 and scored 11 points, but had 5 offensive rebounds! The data of 11 points and 10 rebounds is also passable, after all, it is a rookie.
The following Nets and Bucks, Pacers and Heat series, there is no suspense, the gap between the strength of the Timberwolves and the Nuggets is greater, the Bucks and Heat, the two teams have not even 40 wins, the Bucks With 38 wins and 37 wins for the Heat, the Hammer was pressed. The Nets abused the Bucks 23 points 92 to 69 and the Pacers 86 to 58. The Heat did not get 60 points.
There is no suspense in the game between the Lakers and the Rockets. Yao Ming played the Lakers this year and did not play well as a rookie last year. The main reason is that veteran Malone, against O’Neal, Yao Ming has his own way, but against Malone ’s defense, Yao Ming played very well. Miserable, Malone had 19 points and 17 rebounds in this game, old and strong! To prevent Yao Ming from getting only 10 points and 5 rebounds, it is too strong to move! It's completely impossible to see people in their 40s.
Today is the Opening Day of the Eagles. The two opener days of the year are a happy time for the fans. Because the eight openers are broadcast live, although the three major American TV stations broadcast each live separately, but in order to Does not affect the ratings, will wait for the last game to finish before the next game.
The Hawks game only started at 9pm. Liu Mang ate a nutritious meal on the team at noon and went back to take the three girls to the arena. It was only three o'clock when he arrived at the arena.
Today is Saturday, Liu Mang does not want to delay things because of traffic jams.
Come early to train!
In the past three days, Liu Mang, in addition to being interviewed, was training. Occasionally, he would pay attention to the news of the list, but mainly training.
Atlanta's basketball atmosphere is too strong now, and Liu Mang is completely immersed in the desire for the playoffs.
By 5:30 in the afternoon, when the teammates took their families to the stadium one after another, Liu Mang had trained several groups.
The team members of the Eagles took their families to try a nutritious meal in the restaurant of the stadium. They ate oligo-salt fresh water. Many children vomited directly. The women hampered their faces and swallowed in tears in their hearts. I also chat with other players' girlfriends or wives with smiles, and use their own tricks to deal with their own men.
On the side of Liu Mang, Levia who was pretending to help him wipe the corners of the mouth from the non-existent dirt kicked ...
...
...
At eight o'clock in the evening, one hour before the start of the game, the Phillips Arena has already begun the entrance ceremony.
Because the Eagles' regular season division flag will rise today!
Winning the division title for the second time in three years is also the fourth division championship in the history of the Hawks ... It's miserable, so the fans are more excited and once again ignored the visiting team players.
Although there are no trophies for the regular season champions, from the beginning of the playoffs, the league is ready to be the first regular season player to be defeated. Regarding the trophies of the record, use flags instead.
First, there were some pre-game entertainment activities, some of the Hawks players also participated, and maybe there will be no chance to play in the playoffs-Kevin Willis went up to sing a song, showing his face.
At half past eight, NBA vice president Stu Jackson, the luck of being squeezed by Adam Silva from the president's first successor, to give the Hawks the division championship flag, and the regular season champion's bonus check.
This year's NBA playoffs total prize pool reached 9.2 million US dollars, the Hawks of the regular season, received a check of 420,000 US dollars, and distributed to more than 30 players, trainers, coaches, team doctors ... In the hands of other people, there are more than 10,000 people in one person. Counting the double rewards of the boss, each person has an average of 30,000 US dollars. Not to mention the trainers and others who have a monthly salary of thousands of US dollars. Players with a base salary are a lot of money.
Liu Mang watched the banner of the division champion rise into the air, and always felt that it was not pleasing to the eye.
If one day, all of these flags will be replaced with championship flags, just remove all four division champion flags!
...
The first three games of today's playoffs ~ EbookFREE.me ~ People thought that the Mavericks and Kings would come close to each other. The two teams are almost the same regardless of their record, team lineup, strength ranking, or probability of winning the championship. Last season, the two teams hit a tie-break, the Mavericks won, and they thought it was another series of fierce battles, but there was no suspense in the game!
Webber, who became a little fat, exploded Nowitzki!
Originally, Weber was not as capable as Nowitzki in scoring, but this time against Brave Miller's poor single defense, Brad Miller was empty inside, and Webber scored 44 points in a single game!
Weber couldn't prevent Nowitzki. The two teams were originally attacking Biao. The same was true in the playoffs last year. When Weber's scoring end could actually suppress Nowitzki, the Kings suddenly prevailed!
It ’s not that Weber has better scoring ability than Nowitzki, but it ’s easier for Weber to score against Nowitzki, and it ’s easier than Nowitzki to score against Weber. Like awesome, fat Webber hit Nowitzki in a blast!
Relying on Weber's 44 points and 12 rebounds to beat Nowitzki's 34 points and 15 rebounds, the Kings beat the Mavericks 115 to 102. It seems that the score difference is not big, but the Mavericks are almost suppressed by the Kings.
In the second game, the Spurs beat the Grizzlies. The sister-in-law was just abused by Rashid Wallace. In the playoffs, she immediately met Duncan who was better defensive than Rashid Wallace ... and continued to pounce on the street ...
The Pistons played the Hornets afterwards, but Billups was beaten by Baron Davis, but the Pistons overall defense was strong, and finally relying on defense, 89 to 83, winning the Hornets first victory .
Finally, at 9:15 pm, the Hawks' home game against the Knicks began!
