Although those who watch the NBA know that Yao Ming has a big gap with Liu Mang in terms of his ability to lead the team, his advantage is that he is one of the last two Tyrannosaurus Rex centers in the NBA.

But the followers of public opinion are usually not fans who watch the NBA, but most ordinary people, who just follow the trend and follow the trend to drive public opinion.

On June 7, the day after the first game, the Eagles players prepared for the second game at Phillips Arena, and their confidence in winning the first game was soaring!

The Eagles coaching staff mainly emphasized that they should not be careless, and that they should strengthen the areas where they have already played to their strengths.

Mainly from the team meeting side to prepare, there is not much training.

Since the NBA wants to compete with football in the big market of China, the finals are played every other day, and the physical aspect needs to be considered.

It's important to have three finals in a row.

The team meeting in the morning, there is a training session near noon, and after lunch, there is a team meeting, after which the team has arranged the preparation for today's game, and the players have to study how to deal with their opponents in the afternoon.

The tactics of the coaching staff are very important, the individual thinking of the players is also very important, and the difference in the player's ball quotient and strength is reflected in the personal preparation.

It's like a series between the Hawks and the Heat, in regular time, both teams are tactical battles, and the stars solve problems at key moments.

But it doesn't mean that only the star who solves the problem at the critical moment is the most important, and the coach's tactics are also very important, just like the tactics of the two teams in the first half of the sixth game, if one side can't keep up, it will collapse all of a sudden, and the role of the star at the critical moment will not be reflected, just like the Heat team's decision-making mistake in the third quarter.

As for the back, the Hawks were chased in the fourth quarter......

Are they the Eagles, the boss is a wave, or the No. 1 in the sky, and the whole team, including the coach, has followed the wave......

Liu Mang and Maddie discussed for a while about how to cooperate, and took out their laptops to read the news.

It's okay to watch the news in the United States, but I'm depressed when I watch the domestic news, he played so well in the first game, and the country is actually blowing Yao Ming?

Liu Mang didn't pay attention to it before, he felt that the Lakers looked similar to the Heat team, Wade has a body hair whistle, if you really want to talk about it, it won't be much stronger than Kobe Bryant's now, counting Kobe's scoring explosiveness and ability to shoot 12 three-pointers in a single game, it should be half a catty, Liu Mang believes that Wade of the Heat team will be replaced by Kobe Bryant in the original time and space, and there is a high probability that he will directly sweep the Mavericks...... The premise is that Kobe Bryant doesn't fight with O'Neal and Payton, and O'Neal doesn't go to the toilet to cry and he runs to the Heat and still can't avoid this guy......

But after playing the first game, I understood that the Lakers relied on the three stars to fight the world, and they could still play to this point, and the drug combination was a bit powerful.

It's just that Yao Ming actually stole the limelight! Liu Mang worked hard to receive the assist sent by Maddie and scored 38 points, but he was ignored!

"Shameless big guy, don't talk about benevolence and righteousness at all, don't blame the brother for being polite!" Liu Mang doesn't care so much, it's Yao Ming's fault anyway!

him!

Date: June 8, 2006.

Location: Phillips Arena, Atlanta.

Event: Game 2 of the Finals between the Hawks and Lakers.

Unlike in the past few years, there is not so much preparation time for this year's Finals, and people are talking about how the Lakers can reach the Finals, how terrible Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming's performance in the second round, and how much Odom almost averaged a triple-double per game against the Suns is not over, and the second game is coming.

The Lakers responded urgently, and the first game collapsed even more than the Zen master imagined, but there was no way, the knife was on the neck, and it had to be fought!

In the second game, the change of the Zen master is to strengthen the attack!

Attack as hard as you can!

There is no way to do it, the soldiers do the opposite!

Experts and media are all giving the Lakers tips to help them how to prevent Liu Mang.

There are a lot of ways, but they don't apply at all, the Zen master has a way, his defensive coaching ability is one top one strong, OK first championship, during the Bull Dynasty, the team led by the Zen master is the top three in the league, if there is someone, the first game will be beaten so badly?

Isn't it like no one is available!

So, as soon as the second game began, the Lakers' style of play surprised people, including the Hawks.

It's a pity that the Zen master has more things to worry about, such as Yao Ming can't run, Yao Ming's physical fitness, the speed of the point guard can't keep up, and the forward line presses the defense but is easily broken through......

There are changes, there are ideas, but it doesn't mean that it can have a good effect, the first quarter is okay, the Lakers relied on Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming to play, and scored 28 points in a single quarter, the Hawks didn't feel as crazy as the first game, although 32 points in a single quarter was also a headache, but it was still within an acceptable range.

The Lakers trailed the Hawks by four points at 28-32 in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, Yao Ming played the first quarter and went down to rest for a few minutes, and the Hawks went on a 14-6 ...... All at once, the difference was stretched to 12 points......

Kobe Bryant with Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant without Yao Ming are very different, one can make Kobe enter the finals, and the other is a first-round tour......

Overall, the Zen master's arrangement in the second game was correct, playing on his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, but Yao Ming's physical fitness limited the Lakers' strategic goal of biting the score to give Kobe Bryant a key moment.

The Lakers lost Game 2 as fans expected.

Yao Ming played 33 minutes and got 23 points, 7 boards and 5 assists, and his passing ability was shown, Kobe Bryant 29 points, 11 boards and 8 assists Odom 8 points, 8 boards and 4 assists, although Odom did not perform well, but Kobe Bryant protected the rebounds well when Yao Ming opened up space, and also responded to the offense with Yao Ming and Odom.

After all, it was the little blacksmith who grabbed 7 percent and 25 percent shooting in the finals but grabbed 15 rebounds.

However, Liu Mang 35 points, 5 boards and 6 assists, Maddy 16 points, 14 boards and 7 assists, Korver 20 points set a new personal playoff career high, Jason Terry scored 18 points steadily, especially Maddy's 14 rebounds, when Yao Ming hindered Kwame Brown from grabbing rebounds and Kobe Bryant actively competing for rebounds, Maddie relied on the advantage of height and hands to defeat Kobe Bryant on the rebounding end, when Liu Mang needed to focus on scoring and couldn't take into account rebounds, Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace combined for only 10 rebounds, Maddie played a key role in grabbing rebounds!

One or two rebounds don't seem that important, but after the whole court, the effect is obvious!

122 to 109, in the case of the Lakers' dangerous moves, the Hawks still firmly grasped the advantage, the Lakers played strange tricks, and the Hawks also relied on Maddie's comprehensiveness to offset it!

The second match was played and the result did not surprise the fans.

But...... When fans looked at the average data of the players who played two games in the finals, they looked at the comparison of Maddie and Liu Mang's data, and felt that the finals were developing in a strange direction......
