In the past few years, Liu Mang has felt the most special thing about Kidd, that is, this characteristic of the ghost talent given when systematically evaluating his ability.

Unless Kidd is given a head coach like Coach Carlisle or Coach Popovich, no matter what Kidd's role is on the team, that team will play the style of play that becomes Kidd.

However, Kidd is not a real head coach after all, and in today's game between the Nets and the Heat, Kidd did use Carter, a top star who could not defend in his prime, to create some problems for the Heat.

But Kidd's childhood eldest brother Payton still taught him a lesson like a younger brother, Kidd used O'Neal to be separated by a dunk and used a foul to stop this thing, and hit Carter as an explosive bag on O'Neal, which did make O'Neal fall into a foul crisis early, which made the Heat a little flustered for a while, especially in the third quarter, O'Neal left the court with six fouls within a few minutes.

Without O'Neal, Latliff played for a year in the regular season, and the defense that began to exert in the playoffs gave the Heat huge containment on the offensive end, and when the third quarter was played, the Nets had a feeling of going down again, leading by 67 to 61 by six points into the intermission.

But the reason why Pat Riley is regarded as the godfather is not a casual nickname, and he quickly figured out Kidd's organizational routine, so that Payton, Wade, and Posey, the three major defensive giants, with Haslem and Mark Jackson on the inside, locked up the three-point and basket, and Kidd's good strategy to respond to the offense of flying on both wings was contained.

In turn, Pat Riley generally let Payton sit in the low post and play Kidd, taking advantage of the defect of not having a low post defense that Liu Mang once exposed to Kidd, and now the Nets don't have Richard Jefferson and can't defend Payton in the low post.

The Heat relied on Wade's 29 points and 9 assists and Payton's 21 points, the Heat 91-85, and without O'Neal in the final quarter, the Heat limited the Nets to only 18 points in the final quarter.

The Heat scored 30 points in the final quarter, 12 of which Payton fell to the low post, allowing Wade and Haslem to get a lot of mid-range shooting opportunities and reversing the Nets in the final quarter.

However, although Kidd really looks at it as a head coach and has a lot of problems, it is only in the face of old fritters like Pat Riley, in the eyes of Liu Mang and Mike Woodson, it is already amazing, except for the last quarter was overturned by the magic operator, Kidd's strategy in the first three quarters even overpowered the Heat.

It's a pity that Nets head coach Lawrence Frank is just an ornament, if he can provide Kidd with some on-court tactics, the result may change, but Lawrence Frank did not be a head coach before he met Kidd, and his assistant coaching experience is only three years, he is just a puppet, and James's Mike Brown is better than him.

After watching two games with very different styles, the Hawks have a clearer understanding of the strength of the Heat and Lakers.

For Liu Mang and Mike Woodson, the next game was more interesting, but the previous game between the Lakers and the Suns gave them a new idea of the defensive strategy they had planned against the Cavaliers.

Coach Kruger and the rest of the Hawks were discussing something when they saw Liu Mang and Mike Woodson smiling so weirdly, Coach Kruger thought that as long as it was an effective tactic, it was a good tactic, while the others were mourning for their opponents in tomorrow's game.

The regular season is still a temporary way, and in the playoffs, you have to let the first round of the spring breeze feel what the real playoffs are!

……

……

The Lakers restricted the Suns' games, which made fans look very painful; The game between the Nets and the Heat made people feel how good Pat Riley is.

But these two series obviously didn't get that much attention, and the showdown between Wade and Carter was stolen by Kidd and Payton.

And the matchup between Wade and Carter is not as attractive as the next two series.

On May 8th, the two major series arrived.

The Spurs beat the Mavericks, and the troika led by the Spurs faced off against the Mavericks led by Nowitzki.

The Hawks played the Cavaliers, Liu Mang and James, and finally the strength and the most talented young generation of stars faced off.

The league has been advocating the competition between Liu Mang and James for the future first person for two years, and finally, when James was in his third year, he successfully entered the playoffs and reached the second round, and played against Liu Mang on the battlefield of the playoffs.

Since the night of the 6th, after the Cavaliers advanced to the second round, the battle between Liu Mang VS James has been very hot.

On game day, most of the news was predicting a game between the Hawks and Cavaliers, even more so than the series between the Lakers and Mavericks.

Public opinion on the Internet generally tends to support James, and the largest basketball forum in the United States is the most lit up post in support of James.

"I'm rooting for James, his physical talent and ability to exploit his own body is historically rare, so I think Liu will win."

"LeBron has improved a lot this year, from only walking at the beginning, to now shooting very well from three-point range, and the shooting percentage under the basket has also improved significantly, so I bought the Hawks 1,000 yuan to advance."

"The Cavaliers have a bright future ahead of them, and I think the Hawks can win......"

“……”

“……”

James held his notebook, connected to the Internet cable and rubbed the broadband in the lounge of Phillips Arena, looking at the one-sided vote of support on the Internet and the one-sided trend of public opinion, he didn't know whether these fans liked him or wanted to hack him.

Anyway, looking at the number of votes, a total of more than 7,300 people supported him, and only more than 1,500 people supported Liu Mang.

But in the reply, it doesn't look like the result of the poll at all.

James has been waiting for this day for a long time to play against Liu Mang in the playoffs.

Wanting to beat Liu Mang, especially in the playoffs, has become a magic obstacle for James.

Unlike Bosh, who has been fucked for two years in a row, he has long given up the idea of personally leading the team to defeat Liu Mang, the idea of defeating Liu Mang has been lingering in James's mind, and the longer the time, the more he wants to defeat Liu Mang.

Finally, in the third year of his career, James made the playoffs, and defeated Iverson to reach the second round without being favored, and he could finally play Liu Mang.

But on the afternoon of the game, he was a little confused, and then looked at the news on the Internet and browsed the forums, hoping to find something to motivate him.

For example, the whole world does not support him to win, everyone attacks his technical flaws, and so on.

But I didn't expect that when he played Iverson in the first round, the Internet was full of attacks on his poor skills, no mid-range shots, not Iverson's opponent, etc.

But when it came time to beat Liu Mang, 80% of the fans supported him, encouraged him, and expected him to beat Liu Mang.

This made James feel weird, and although he was encouraged, he had a very awkward feeling.

At half past three in the afternoon, there were only two hours left before the start of the first game of the Hawks and Cavaliers series.

……

Liu Mang, on his side, conducted tactical training with his teammates in the morning, and Coach Kruger held another team meeting to emphasize tactics and discipline, and then began to rest in the afternoon.

After lunch, Liu Mang went home and took the girl and her parents and two children, bodyguards, and servants to the stadium, and sent them to the box to rest, then returned to the lounge to rest for a while, and accepted the pre-game interview of the imperial court.

The game between the Hawks and the Cavaliers began at half past five in the afternoon, and Liu Mang observed a moment of silence for his compatriots who got up at half past six in the morning to watch the game.

Compared to the Spurs and Mavericks, who start at 10:30 in the morning at home, just in time for lunch, the Hawks are in the East and have to start the game early.

However, the highlight of the court broadcast is naturally the Hawks, although the game between the Spurs and the Mavericks is noon in China, but there are not necessarily many people watching it, the Spurs abused the Jazz in the first round, and the game was too ugly.

After being promoted on May 1, Liu Mang has been waiting for seven days!

……

After the warm-up, at 5:10, Liu Mang and his teammates came to the players' tunnel, and there were 20 minutes left before the game started.

At the time of the ceremony, every time a Cavaliers player came to the Hawks' home court, they rarely received boos because of ...... Every time they come, the Eagles win +1......

After James entered, listening to the cheers of the fans in the stadium, it felt very strange, just like the feeling of one-sided support for him on the Internet.

James suppressed that strangeness, and he knew that only by playing well would the fans really support him.

Otherwise...... He's just a lone dancer......

After Liu Mang appeared, he went up and hugged James, although James still doesn't know the truth of the matter, but Liu Mang has regarded James as one of his successors in "Dancing Forest".

Because of the appearance of James and Prince, the number of clicks on Liu Mang's square dancing and pole dancing videos has dropped significantly, and Liu Mang is very grateful to them.

After saying hello, Liu Mang took a look at the situation of the Cavaliers players after entering the playoffs.

James, 93 Ability Rating; Larry Hughes, 87 Ability Ratings; Big Z, 86's ability evaluation, a top star with a defensive guard swingman, and a giant big center with excellent mid-range shooting of two meters and two-one, and a lineup of role players who spent a lot of money to put together, Liu Mang feels that Iverson lost to James unjustly, the Cavaliers' salary is 10 million higher than that of the 76ers, and there are still more than 72 million salaries in the rookie bonus of James and Gooden, and they are about to catch up with their Hawks.

Liu Mang observed the Cavaliers and returned to his own half to practice shooting.

The game is about to start, Liu Mang is very excited now, James seems to him, he is an experience baby, kill him, and then kill Wade, the second talent skill will come!
