After the Hawks won the game away, the Mavericks in the West were also encouraged and worked hard, mainly because Michael Finley broke out when he arrived at the Spurs' home court, and in this game, Finley shot 12 of 20 on the road, especially 9 of 14 shots from mid-range, not to mention Stephen Jackson's six fouls and left the game! Finley made 12 free throws and scored 36 points on the road without a single three-pointer to lead the Mavericks to a 105-90 away win over the Spurs.

The Mavericks chased the big score to 2-3!

In the two divisional finals in the east and west, the big score became 3-2, and it became a suspenseful situation.

This situation has puzzled fans and expert media, why, all four teams are away dragons?

All four teams have won on the road, but none of them have been able to hold their home stadiums.

Not to mention, although the other three teams except for the Eagles are not popular teams, this rhythm continues, and the suspense skyrockets! No matter which two teams reach the Finals, it is very interesting, because unlike many series, they hold their home court and then rely on home court advantage to win, including the second three-game Invincible Bulls, the Finals have played six games three times, and the first five games are 3-2 by home court advantage, and the sixth game is won.

Most teams are more stable at home, so most of the time, it is the team with home advantage in the finals that wins.

This makes this year's already unanticipated finals suddenly very interesting, and many people want to know, will there be a finals tie-break this year?

From the 1994 finals Olajuwon defeated Ewing 4-3 in the finals of the direct dialogue with Ewing, and established the position of the first of the four centers, there was no suspense in the next eight finals, and in 95 Olajuwon defeated O'Neal 4-0, the Bulls three in a row, Duncan lightly abused the Knicks, and the Lakers three in a row, all of which were not suspenseful.

If you really want to talk about it, whether it is the Hawks or the Nets reaching the Finals, facing the Spurs or the Mavericks, it is the most suspenseful Finals in nine years.

The West is definitely stronger than the East at this stage, but none of them can be as strong as the Lakers in previous years to crush the Eastern teams, and this season's regular season Western teams really want to say that the record is to crush the East, not the regular season champion Spurs, but the second Kings in the West, but the Kings have been killed.

The NBA series matchup, not that the Mavericks killed the king, the king crushed the Hawks and the Nets, which means that the Mavericks can crush the Hawks and the Nets, which is the most interesting thing about the NBA.

……

"I just came back yesterday and I played today, what's the difference between home and away?" Jason Terry, who came off the bench the day before yesterday and ran with Liu Mang for three and a half quarters, complained.

"Okay, okay, stop complaining, let's kill the Nets today, let's go to the Finals!" Liu Mang slept for a while, and after his spirit rested, he was no longer tired.

This is the legendary man who does not have a backache when he stands and talks.

"It's all to blame on the Mavericks, they have been procrastinating, grabbing seven in every round, do you think they will fight with the Spurs again this time to tie seven?" Jason Terry threw the pot on the Mavericks for the time compression of the Eastern and Western Conference finals.

But it's true, the Mavericks are the only team to reach the tiebreaker in the first two rounds of this year's playoffs, and the other three teams have been waiting for the Mavericks for a long time.

"I don't know, I'm just curious, if the western side plays another tie-break this time, the division finals end on the 11th, and the finals also hit the tie-break, what will happen to the draft conference? What about the 29-team joint tryout? Or is it that the team that played in the finals was kicked out of the joint tryout? Liu Mang is very interested in this issue.

"I don't know, I just know that I'm tired now, very tired." Jason Terry continues to complain.

Playing to the Eastern Finals for two consecutive years, compared to the previous playoffs, more than a dozen games have been played in a season, and the worse situation than last year is that this year's Eastern Finals is like playing consecutive home and away, one game every other day, and 5 games have been played in the previous 10 days, which is almost in time for the two months with the tightest regular season schedule.

"We're tired, they're definitely tired, maybe, hurry up, go warm up, be careful that you'll have cramps in the game later!" Liu Mang pulled Jason Terry up from the massage table in the locker room and went to the physiotherapy room to do a massage stretch.

For the Hawks, the biggest problem is that they don't have the experience of how to deal with the distribution of physical fitness in such a tight schedule, if it's the regular season, it's okay to say, it's really not okay to just rotate and rest, but this is the Eastern Conference Finals!

……

During the period of sitting physiotherapy, Liu Mang looked at the system panel, the superstar value was 37127, and he got more than 1000 superstar values after the fifth game, and only got 18 points, 5 boards and 6 assists in the last game, and he didn't complete the third-level task to get 20+5+5 data, and he also spent 30,000 superstar values, plus the number of lottery draws for two task rewards, a total of five intermediate superstar value lotteries, before I drew good things, the first four times I drew things that were useless, a legendary 1 top 10 language high-level charm fruit, But Liu Mang already had a similar cohesion as the head of state in his own team, and it didn't play much of a role.

The second is an action package, Nate Robinson's dunk pack, the bounce ability required to unlock all actions is actually 99, which is higher than Carter and LaVine's dunk bag requirements, for Liu Mang, unless he has connected several people in the counterattack, he has a chance to use it, which is basically useless, mainly because the action is not so good-looking, Nate Robinson looks good to use, the main thing is that Nate Robinson is short, as long as he dunks any action is amazing.

The thing drawn in the third lottery is an intermediate injury potion, which is good, but it seems that if you really want to talk about it, it will not be of much use for the time being.

The thing drawn in the fourth lottery is a special skill upgrade card, which is fine, but now Liu Mang doesn't have a level 4 skill to upgrade him.

Finally, for the fifth time, with a one-in-one chance, Liu Mang used five lottery chances to draw a special card, and the effect was very special, because it was more suitable for his teammates than against opponents.

The effect of the decisive death is that a person like Kidd with a clumsy scoring ability will infinitely magnify his shortcomings on the offensive end, if he uses Kobe, O'Neal, James, Curry...... On these people, they are estimated to run amok for an hour, abusing each other to the point that they can't take care of themselves, which can be seen from Kidd's defense in the last game.

For the lottery now that it is becoming more and more difficult to draw good things, especially the primary lottery, there are basically no good things, Liu Mang was very puzzled and asked the system: "System boss, I want to ask, how do I feel that the higher my ability value, the lower the probability of drawing something with great effect?" ”

"Ding...... Because the host is about to leave the rookie period, many props used to assist the host to gain a firm foothold in the NBA during the rookie period will become invalid, and some items in the host lottery have begun to be removed, and when the host is over this season, after officially leaving the rookie period, the system will be upgraded and will be upgraded to an auxiliary system that is more suitable for the host in the middle of his career. ”

"I see, that is, there are a lot of things that are gone now? Lottery becomes not cost-effective? Why didn't you say it earlier! By the way, I'm only 21 years old after playing this year, so I'm in the middle of my career so soon? ”

"Whether the lottery is cost-effective depends on the needs of the host, and the rookie period is determined by the end of the host's rookie contract."

"So if I'm lucky enough to be a first-round pick at the time, the rookie period is four years?"

"Yes."

"Damn! The first-round talent is better, but it's still a four-year rookie period? Is this the legendary poor man's child in charge of the house? People are poor and have no background, and if they are not geniuses, they have to adapt to society earlier? ”

Seeing that there are still more than 37,000 superstar values left, Liu Mang gritted his teeth and still didn't draw it, he drew five times last time, which is equivalent to spending 50,000 superstar points to draw a special card, this time he may not be able to draw good things three times, or forget it, let's talk about it when it is more needed later, the next game is the home field, play hard, limit Kidd's shooting, and the team will play a lot, especially in the last game Kidd's shooting has collapsed, can you still find the feel this time?

Liu Mang calmed down to warm up before the game, tonight's game is bound to win!

……

……

On June 7, the Hawks returned to Atlanta for a night of rest, and on June 8, the sixth game of the Eastern Conference finals against the Nets was immediately ushered in.

However, it is still much better than the shutdown season, which even has a back-to-back in almost every round of the playoffs, and the veterans who experienced the shutdown season four years ago are quite acceptable to this kind of playoff game with only one day off, but on the Hawks' side, among the main players, only Ratliff has played the playoffs with Iverson that season and reached the second round, counting Chris Crawford, the Hawks have two players who have experience in the playoffs of the shutdown season.

The Hawks also reached the second round under the leadership of Mutombo during the shutdown season, but the players of that team at that time, now the entire Hawks team is the only one left, Chris Crawford, who was a sophomore at the time, took a salary of 240,000 US dollars and gave Steve Smith of the current Spurs the role of handing a towel to the bench in the bench, which is really experienced...... That's it.

For Liu Mang's curiosity about the finals after the draft may be more than the time of the draft, the league is also a headache, June 27th is the day of the draft conference, if the real division finals hit the tie-break, that is, hit the 11th, then the finals start at the earliest is also the 13th, if the finals are also dragged to tie-breaks, even if it is the same as the divisional finals, a game every other day, it will take the 26th to end the finals, which makes the league a headache.

It really didn't work, and the draft had to be postponed.

It will also affect many of the league's operations when they want to trade with draft picks after the Finals and before the draft begins.

The league didn't expect that as soon as the schedule of the best-of-seven system in the first round came out, there would be a tie-break in the first round, and in this round of the series, the playoffs were extended by almost a week, otherwise even if all the second round to the finals were tied for seven, the finals would be over around June 20.

Originally, when the playoff schedule was formulated, the league was based on the expected strength, and who knew that the Mavericks would be able to reach a tie-break in every round?

Just like Jason Terry's complaint, the league's schedule-making officials also threw the blame on the Mavericks, blaming the Mavericks for grabbing seven ...... each round

The league is already considering whether next season's regular season schedule could start a few days earlier and whether the regular season could end a few days earlier.

……

The warring sides don't have much time to prepare, the Hawks and Nets have similar timelines since the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the timelines of both teams are about the same, yesterday they came to Atlanta almost before and after, and then they had to hurry up to train in the afternoon, and they rested after practicing for two or three hours, and they watched the Mavericks beat the Spurs away at night, and they got up the next morning, gave an interview, had a team meeting at noon, and rested in the afternoon......

At 6 p.m., the second game in 48 hours kicked off at the Eagles' home stadium, Phillips Arena!

The atmosphere at Phillips Arena was frenetic, and all the fans were thrilled that the team had once again regained home advantage.

Today, a lot of tickets for the sidelines were taken away by celebrities, Jordan, Wilkins, Lou Hudson, Pete Maravich......

The Eagles have more than a dozen team names at home, and a lot of them from the '60s to the '80s want to see the Eagles return to the Finals after nearly 50 years.

Seeing a large number of celebrities sitting on the sidelines, the atmosphere of the fans was completely ignited.

This home atmosphere also ignites the soul of the Eagles players, if there is no time to rest, there is no time for the Eagles players to feel the warmth of home, there is no time for the Eagles players to hold their wives and children comfortably after winning and listen to the encouragement of their families...... Well, this one has nothing to do with Liu Mang, but if there is any advantage in the home game, it is the cheers of the fans!

The referee blows the whistle for the start of the match, and the final preparation time before the match ends.

The starting lineup is here!

Liu Mang and Boozer's appearance has been fixed, and Boozer knows that he will not perform well in the East Finals this time, so he will play his only role as much as possible, which is to cheer for Liu Mang!

After a small fist punch in the chest, Boozer gave Liu Mang a warm hug, and Liu Mang quickly pushed this guy away, Nima Taiji was in love!

The Eagles, for their part, continued to field the starting lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Mohammed, and Ratliff.

On the Nets' side, coach Byron Scott gave Mutombo another chance to perform, sending a combination of Kidd, Kittels, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, and Mutombo.

Fans watched Ratliff lose to Mutombo again, and they really didn't know what to say, with our dignified East Finals team, jump ball won more than 20 times a year?

N unsolved mysteries in the NBA: Where did Ratliff get so many blocks for this bounce?

The other cap kings of the people, all of them can jump and jump, just Latlif is stuck here, crowded people there, and then they take off the other party's hat.

Now that the network has just experienced a leap forward, many people want to analyze how Ratliff's blocks came about after the start of this series.

Kidd received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, but it was slow, slow enough to remind people of the second game.

Liu Mang defended towards Kidd, and when he saw Kidd's slow style of play, he secretly screamed that it was not good, this guy wanted to drag the game into the rhythm that both sides didn't want to enter from the beginning - the defensive battle!

It's not just that the Hawks don't want to get into that kind of rhythm of defensive battles that they can't control, in fact, the Nets don't want to get into that rhythm either, but today, the Nets did just that!

Liu Mang immediately stuck to Kidd, spewing trash words in his mouth, wanting to anger Kidd again, but Kidd took two steps back to protect the ball, dug out his left hand in his ear, took out a sponge earplug, showed it to Liu Mang, and then stuffed it back.

These earbuds are a fart! Liu Mang was angry, and he was actually ridiculed!

However, this shows that Kidd is quite calm today, mainly after the last defeat to the Hawks away game, Kidd has become immune to trash talk related to his wife, and the earplugs just want to stimulate Liu Mang in turn.

And Kidd, there are not many places to attack, it is nothing more than poor shooting, being beaten by his wife, and 3J being jealous, but poor shooting and 3J events have long been sprayed enough, and he has long been immune, and now he is immune to being beaten by his wife, Liu Mang really can't find a place to continue attacking.

Kidd ignored Liu's trash talk and held the ball steadily, and with 10 seconds left, Kidd dribbled close to the three-point line, and the Nets' offense began, with Mutombo and Kenyon Martin inside going to the two corners to block Kittels and Richard Jefferson.

The blocking and dismantling of the two wings cut in, Kenyon Martin helped Kittels block and dismantle, and Muhammad could keep up with Kittels after changing defenses, which Boozer couldn't do, and after Mutombo helped Richard Jefferson block and dismantle, Kidd passed the ball to Richard Jefferson who had just finished blocking and dismantling for the first time, seeing that Richard Jefferson was about to get rid of Ratliff in three or two steps, and he was about to bypass Ratliff from the line, and Mutombo's blocking was more solid than Jason Collins or even Kenyon Martin, Rahim is pinched and can't get around! Liu Mang decisively chose to shrink and clamped Richard Jefferson with Ratliff, and Richard Jefferson passed the ball back to the top arc!

The Hawks didn't expect the Nets' tactics to be for Kidd! The last game was so bad, 3 shots and 0 shots from three-point range, and it actually created a chance for Kidd!

Kidd's open three-point shot!

Fortunately, he missed the shot, and Liu Mang took advantage of Ratliff to block Richard Jefferson and grabbed the defensive rebound.

After Liu Mang won the rebound, he immediately yelled: "Counterattack!" ”

But Richard Jefferson squeezed past Ratliff to block Liu Mang's first impact, and on the other side, Mutombo also stopped Rahim, and Kidd went to follow Prince, limiting Prince's speed, and the Eagles' counterattack was blocked!

Looking at the Nets players who quickly returned to the backcourt immediately after blocking the first impact, Liu Mang's heart sank, the Nets team was completely prepared this time! And at the expense of physical strength, I wanted to keep the rhythm down from the beginning!

The game was forced to fall into a slow positional battle from the start!

Liu Mang advanced to the front court, made a single gesture, dribbled the ball continuously, and suddenly pulled up a three-point shot!

Kidd thought that Liu Mang was going to break through, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to vote when he said it, and the rest of the Eagles hadn't opened up the space yet!

Liu Mang started the game well, and coldly shot Kidd a three-pointer and hit it directly.

3-0, the Hawks opened the game with a three-pointer.

Liu Mang wanted to bring up the rhythm, but the Nets were unmoved by a three-point shot, Liu Mang looked at Kidd, who was slowly pushing the ball over, and felt unprecedented pressure.

Kidd's calm and calm expression made Liu Mang seem to see the Kidd in last year's East Final!

Kidd just made up his mind to play a positional battle with high confrontation and slow time, and after coming over, he continued to block and dismantle, and the action was very rough, slowly taking 10 seconds to start the real action, and then when he finally shot, there were 3 seconds left, this time Richard Jefferson's empty cut big throw borrowed the angle of the rebound ball to hit the board into the basket.

It's a bit of a fairy ball, and the Nets once again blocked the Hawks' fast break after throwing in, preventing Liu Mang's idea of speeding up.

The Eagles were forced into a slow-paced stalemate this time!
