864. Men’s happiness

After the regular season ended, the major media topics were mainly about the data king, record, and the ownership of major awards.

As the most valuable individual award, the topic of MVP ownership is the most hyped.

Liu Xiu looked at the predictions of major mainstream media.

This is very important, because the main force of voting is these large media, which account for more than 40% of the votes. The other second- and third-rate media combined account for less than 20% of the votes, leaving 40% of the votes.

Experts, broadcasters, non-contract commentators, etc., and these people actually wear the same pants as those large media. At most, T.N.T prefers Nash, and ESPN prefers James.

He synthesized the prediction lists of major media and determined the list of MVP candidates in the media's mind.

Nash played 80 games, averaging 19.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 11.7 assists and 0.8 steals per game, shooting 54.3% from the field, 46% from the three-point range, 2.2 three-pointers per game, 90.6% from the free throw line, and a record of 59 wins.

23 losses.

Duncan played 82 games, averaging 22.5 points, 11.59 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 2.4 blocks per game, with a field goal percentage of 50.4, a free throw percentage of 63.7%, and a record of 65 wins and 17 losses.

Kobe played 80 games, averaging 32.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, shooting 47.9% from the field, 38.3% from the three-point range, and 87% from the free throw line, with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses.

Yao Ming, who played 80 games and was not full attendance for the first time in his career, averaged 25.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game, shooting 55.2% from the field and 86.2% from the free throw line, with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses.

Garnett played 75 games, averaging 20.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 blocks per game, shooting 49.1% from the field, 80.1% from the free throw line, and a record of 62 wins and 20 losses.

Nowitzki played 78 games, averaging 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 46.2% from the field, 41.6% from three-point range, and 90.4% from free throws, with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses.

With six competitors, Liu Xiu felt like this year was like a fight between gods.

His data and record are promising for MVP, 60 wins and 22 losses, averaging 36.25 points, 8.17 rebounds, 6.09 assists, 2.54 steals, 0.74 blocks per game, 47.3% field goal percentage, and 36.2% three-point field goal percentage per game.

Made 2.6 three-pointers.

He also scored a season-high 30 times with 40+ points in a single game.

The 7 times of 50+ points ranked second this season, second only to Kobe's 14 times of 50+ points in a single game.

The 7 times of 50+ points in a single game also ranks eighth in history. The first is Chamberlain's 45 times, the second is Chamberlain's 30 times, the third is Kobe's 14 times, and the fourth and fifth are both Chamberlain's 9 times.

Sixth and seventh are Chamberlain's 8 times, and ninth are Kobe's 6 times last season.

In addition, there was another time of 81 points and another time of 95 points.

He feels that the biggest problem in his bid for MVP is Lian Zhuang and his identity as a Chinese.

The same problem exists with Yao Ming. Among the four big insiders, the media are undoubtedly more optimistic about the two No. 21s.

Nash originally had a high probability, but in the finale, he won the direct battle with Nash. He also had an absolute advantage in the four regular season matches. Without him, Nash's probability of winning the award should be higher than the two No. 21s.

But even with these two problems, after reading the media's predictions, Liu Xiu felt that he still had a good chance of winning the MVP!

Other awards, including the best defensive player, are the two No. 21s most likely to win.

There is no doubt that Roy is the Rookie of the Year.

The competition between Ginobili and Odom for the Best Sixth Man is tantamount to a massacre for others...

…

After a day of rest, on April 22, the Trail Blazers began their playoff preparation training in an orderly manner.

Although the opponent Nuggets only had 47 wins, all members of the Trail Blazers did not dare to be careless. They lost two times against the bandits.

But the preparation work is not difficult, there are two key points - how to limit the double gun, and how to deal with the Nuggets inside group.

This morning, Liu Xiu welcomed a new teammate-Osella Harrington.

The second-round pick of the 1996 golden generation, a 206cm, 107kg inside swingman.

In terms of strength, he had the ability to become the main rotation member of a strong team during his peak period, and now he is at the level of a water dispenser manager.

Last summer, he signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Bobcats. Three months ago, when he had just turned 33 and his contract was about to become permanent, he was waived by the Bobcats and has not been able to find a job since.

The Trail Blazers still have a 15th man spot. If they don't find the ideal veteran before March 31, it will be empty.

After the regular season, the Trail Blazers signed Osela Harrington on the recommendation of McDyess.

As a water cooler keeper who takes over when a player is injured, Osella Harrington is still adequate.

Only then did Liu Xiu realize that McDyess, Francis, and Osella Hanington had been playing together since childhood.

The honest and steady McDyess, the negative-energy Hannington whose words are full of envy and jealousy towards "lucky" people, and the outgoing Francis, these three people are actually close friends... It's really amazing in the world.

The Nuggets arrived in Portland in the morning and also came to the Willamady Gardens training facility in the afternoon.

In the evening, Liu Xiu and Anthony had a dinner date, but this time they didn't bring their teammates.

When they parted after the meal, Liu Xiu said: "Before this second, we were brothers, and the next we were enemies."

Anthony responded: "Humph, you have no chance to continue laughing this time. I will definitely win! Wash your neck!"

Liu Xiu replied: "I will keep my eyes open to see your performance."

After saying that, the two turned around and headed in the opposite direction until they felt they couldn't see each other. Then they called a taxi to pick them up and take them back to the hotel and home...

The two of them had a great time, but if no one else was around, it wouldn't be easy to play like this if they brought other people along. It would be very... shameful.

…

On April 23, the first game day of the 2006-2007 season playoffs arrived.

The outside world is very noisy, but Liu Xiu is extremely quiet - at the beginning of a series, he has entered the mode of blocking external interference and focusing on preparing for the game.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, he watched a quarter of the playoff opener between the Pistons and Nets. With Tracy McGrady scoring 8 points in a single quarter, Richard Jefferson scoring 6 points in a single quarter, Kidd scored two goals.

He scored 6 points and 3 assists on a passed three-pointer... The Nets led the Pistons by 4 points 27-23 in the first quarter... I saw him calling him a good guy.

Is this a black eight?

Billups was also unlucky. He met Kidd again. He and Kidd fought against each other, and nine out of ten encounters were misfortunes.

When Carter played against McGrady, his performance was not as outstanding as his cousin's.

Although I really want to continue watching, I have to start warming up.

At the end of the warm-up, the staff who received his instructions came to tell him that the Pistons reversed the Nets and won 100-92.

Yao Ming scored 22 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks on 9 of 13 shots. Carter scored 21 points on 8 of 19 shots. Although not as many as Tracy McGrady's 31 points, it gave Yao Ming enough support. Together with Prince's 16 points, it was better than

Lupus' 12 points and 6 assists...the Pistons won the game.

Liu Xiu was very happy with this result. Yao Ming won, but he still felt a little regretful...
