Then there's Popovich.

Popovich won the best head coach once before, plus the only game the Spurs played against the Bulls this season, they also lost.

Therefore, Thibodeau is even better in winning votes.

There is no big objection to Thibodeau's winning the best head coach award.

…

"It's finally over!"

Lian Dao had just participated in the LD-3 sneaker launch event held by Anta, and couldn't help wiping the sweat off his head.

"You kid, you still fight like this. The signing meeting is just a process. Who like you can directly satisfy so many people's signatures."

"Since they are here, they are supporting me. All I can do is try not to let them down!"

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you, but I have left you the limited edition numbers that you specifically requested, and some ordinary ones have also been delivered to your residence."

The person in charge of Anta shook his head helplessly.

"Yeah, I know, Yuwei called me before and told me that I signed for it."

Lian Dao specially asked to leave a few limited edition numbers before.

Two of the numbers have the birthdays of Lian Dao and Xiao Shijie, so he kept checking them before.

"However, your vision is really unique, we thought couple models would not sell well! We didn't expect it to be even more popular than the previous two models!"

"You have underestimated the number of my female fans, besides, women's desire to buy is sometimes more terrifying than men's!"

"Hahaha, it's our problem, but in addition to LD-3, we are also planning to design the next sneaker for you, named 'Road to Defending Title'!"

"We have already designed it according to your requirements, and then it's up to you!"

"Hahaha, the pressure is a bit high, I will try my best!"

After the two chatted, Lian Dao drove away from the press conference.

While driving, the LD-3 exclusive signature sneakers at the previous signing scene appeared in Lian Dao's mind.

This is the third exclusive sneaker of the "LD" series launched by Anta for Lian Dao.

This one is no longer the previous mandarin duck shoe design, but is designed according to Lian Dao's "Night of 83 Points".

Including some silhouettes, it is a high mountain with 83 engraved on it, and the back of Lian Dao is on the top of the mountain.

And this signature sneaker is also the first couple model launched by Anta.

The silhouette of the couple model is two people, a man and a woman.

The silhouette adopts the combination of virtual and real, the men's model has a solid back, and the girl's back is empty; the female model is the opposite.

And the color matching of the couple's sneakers is also very different.

The color scheme of the male model is macaron powder blue + macaron glacier gray, while the female model is macaron strawberry ice + macaron milk yellow.

Although they are not mandarin duck shoes, you can buy a pair of couple shoes of the same size to wear together, which can also achieve the effect of mandarin duck shoes.

Once this pair of couple shoes was launched, it was sought after by a large number of girls.

In particular, the number of Lian Dao female fans is no less than that of male fans, which has greatly stimulated the sales of "LD-3" sneakers.

However, sneaker sales are not the focus of Lian Dao's attention now.

…

The curtain of the playoffs is about to begin. On April 27, the second day after the end of the regular season, the Orlando Magic have already arrived in New York.

Because on April 28, the NBA playoffs officially started.

From the regular season to the playoffs, most teams in the East have only one day off.

To be honest, this should be the first time the opening ceremony of the playoffs has been so rushed.

In the opening game of this season's playoffs, most of them chose Eastern teams.

For example: New York Knicks VS Orlando Magic; Miami Heat VS Philadelphia 76ers; Chicago Bulls VS Boston Celtics.

On the first game day, there is also a game between the Western Conference teams, and that is the Thunder VS Denver Nuggets!

As soon as the schedule came out, the Eastern teams complained one after another, but it was useless to complain anymore. It was impossible for the league to change the schedule.

According to the schedule, the Knicks and Magic are the first teams to start playing this year, so they will attract more attention from the outside world than expected.

Of course, this is not to say that the match between the two teams will be very anxious, but that the Magic is the weakest of the top eight teams.

Even, some media predicted that the chances of the Knicks sweeping the Magic are very high.

The Magic are indeed a bit unlucky.

Howard was reimbursed for the season near the end of the regular season, which is equivalent to their entire season's hard work in vain.

The Magic's system itself is a one-star star. Without Howard, the head star, they simply don't have the strength to be as hard as the Knicks.

By what? By their Most Improved Player Leon Anderson?

Or a regressive Jameer Nelson?

Now everyone shakes their heads when they see the Magic. Without Howard, this team is not a playoff team at all.

Especially after Howard was reimbursed for the season, the Magic had a 6-game losing streak at the end of the regular season.

It seems to just confirm the decline of the Magic.

Originally, the eighth position in the Eastern Conference should belong to the 76ers. They were at the bottom of the league before Howard was reimbursed for the season.

However, after hearing the news of Howard's reimbursement for the season.

The 76ers seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. In order to avoid the Knicks in the first round, all of them entered a fighting state.

He even played a wave of winning streak at the end of the season, surpassing the Magic in record.

The experience of facing the Knicks' disastrous defeat in the playoffs last season did not make them think of revenge.

Their only idea is to avoid the Knicks in the first round, even if they play against the Miami Heat.

The shadow of being swept by the Knicks last season is too deep.

In addition, when they met the Knicks in the regular season this season, they were beaten 4:0 by the Knicks in four games, without winning a game.

This made the 76ers even more afraid of facing the Knicks.

So if they seize the opportunity, of course they should try to avoid the Knicks.

…

The Magic came to New York, and the two teams also attracted a large number of reporters to watch during training.

Mostly, though, it's all about the Knicks.

After all, compared to the lack of the core magic, the Knicks are more concerned as the defending champion.

Of course, with the Knicks, the Magic are destined to get the spotlight.

Although everyone knows that the Knicks will easily advance in the first round, their attention before the game has not declined in the slightest.

In the four games on the first game day, the one that received the most attention was still the Knicks VS Magic.

From this perspective, this may not be a bad thing for the Magic.

Because they become more famous.

When the Magic team was training that day, Ryan Anderson was constantly being captured by the media.

Ryan Anderson has just won the Most Improved Player Award, and his current attention is currently the largest among all Magic players.

And Ryan Anderson's data is also the best in the Magic besides Howard.

When the training was over, the reporters surrounded Ryan Anderson for an interview.

"With Dwight out for the season, do you have the confidence to lead the team to beat the Knicks?"

"Do you think you can still average 16+ per game in the playoffs?"

…

These reporters are really bad They kept trying to set Ryan Anderson up.

As long as Ryan Anderson accidentally falls into the trap, the next day the media will be full of hype.

This is also the first time for Ryan Anderson to encounter this kind of situation. In the past, with Howard, he would not receive much attention.

So I don't know how to answer for a while.

That's when Jamal Nelson rushed up to clear Ryan Anderson.

"Don't treat Ryan like this!"

Nelson pulled Ryan to his side.

Although Nelson is shorter than Anderson, as a veteran of the Magic, especially when the head star Howard is not around, Nelson is still very defensive.

And after helping Anderson block the gun, Nelson also answered the reporters' questions.

"We are facing the defending champion, the opponent is very strong, and Dwight has suffered an injury on our side."

"But it doesn't mean that we will admit defeat easily, we will try our best to fight, no matter what the result is, we don't want to leave any regrets!"

Nielsen looked like an old Jianghu.

The answers to the questions were not leaking at all, and did not catch any points that could be targeted by the reporter.

Moreover, his normal height, combined with his strong physique, coupled with those slightly sunken eyes, made him an easy character to mess with.

His aura also shocked the reporters.

After answering the questions that should be answered, Nelson took Anderson back to the locker room.

Although without Howard, the strength of the Magic team has declined seriously, but they are united internally.
