1215. For the first time, someone was so arrogant
After discussing the next game with Maddie and Jason Terry, Liu Mang returned to his room in the afternoon to study how to better play well under the opponent's defense.
In the evening, Liu Mang came to Maddy's room, and most of the Hawks players came, wanting to see the fifth game between the Lakers and the Mavericks.
The Lakers returned to Los Angeles to play Game 5 against the Mavericks, and after the game began, the Mavericks almost gave up, and there was a feeling of self-defeat.
Liu Mang feels that Kobe Bryant is really lucky!
Sometimes NBA games, I really don't know how to describe it, the head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson, is like a stunned young man, who has to stubbornly play star singles, and indeed the Mavericks star singles are very effective, and the Spurs have been killed by the Mavericks star singles.
But the opponent is the Lakers, playing singles with Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming, and the open three-point shots of Fisher, Wang Zhizhi, Odom, Luke Wharton and others can shoot the Mavericks to death.
The Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense is effective for the Spurs, who mostly play team basketball except for superstar singles; The Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense is also very effective for the Hawks or the Heat, the Heat's Wade does not have three points, the offensive area is relatively limited, and the Hawks' fast interspersed running position is also easy to be limited by the high-speed rotation defense, and the Hawks rely on the Mavericks to play the Mavericks.
It just so happens that the Lakers happen to be the team that can play the superstar the most, and the Mavericks head coach Johnson, the little general, was toyed with by the Zen master......
Liu Mang felt that Kobe Bryant was really lucky, the Spurs were killed by the Mavericks and failed to enter the Western Finals.
Although Kobe Bryant is also the bitter master of the Spurs, the combination of Kobe and Yao Ming has just formed the first year, and Popovich may have a way to do something against the two, but the 41-year-old junior general Johnson ......
If the head coach of the Mavericks is Carlisle, it is certainly not the same situation, but unfortunately Coach Carlisle is too good, the Pacers signed a four-year contract with him, and Coach Carlisle can still bring the Pacers into the playoffs when the Pacers are so miserable, and Big Bird has no reason and does not want to fire Carlisle.
96-88, the Lakers eliminated the Mavericks in five games and advanced to the Finals!
……
The Lakers are in the Finals, and the pressure is on the Hawks and Heat.
In his post-game interview after advancing to the Finals, Bryant said: "It doesn't matter who is going to be our opponent, the final championship is us, and I expect anyone to be our opponent." ”
So arrogant!
Liu Mang and Maddie looked at the faces they had when they were interviewed after the competition, and they both wanted to put their 48-yard feet on this guy's face.
It's so damn!
Amazing to be the first to reach the finals?
Liu Mang thinks about it, although he was lucky to meet three relatively easy opponents in a row, but it was in the west, and there was no weak team in the western playoffs, and it was because of the strong strength.
"Ace, Jason, tomorrow's game, we have to win!" Maddie was very upset that Kobe Bryant was so sassy.
It's not about friendship or anything, it's just that Kobe Bryant is not happy.
In the past, Maddie was in the Magic, watching Kobe Bryant win the championship, going forward for a while, taking a defense, I already felt that it was enough, and now I finally hugged my thighs, that guy finally withered for a year, and now he has a chance to scream again, I can't bear it!
Liu Mang and Jason Terry are in the same mood, for the first time in three years, an opponent is so arrogant!
……
The Eagles, for their part, have nothing to do with the away side and can only be prepared to play sideways.
And the Heat's side, in fact, is the same, all the advantages are around Wade, which must be sandwiched, once Wade can't shoot accurately, it's over, everything is based on Wade's ability to throw the ball in when the opponent doesn't give physical contact one-on-one.
Other than that, there is no better way to approach the game.
Fortunately, Wade is in excellent shape in the playoffs this year, and his mid-range shooting has been very accurate, especially after the start of the second round, and the mid-range shooting rate is as high as 51 percent so far.
But now it's another crisis for the Heat.
The last time they returned to their home stadium, they were 2-0 down and managed to salvage the situation, relying on home advantage to draw 2-2 and avoid the danger of being beaten by the Eagles within five games.
But in the fifth game, Jason Terry's god-like outburst caught the Heat off guard and couldn't stop it at all!
The explosion was incredible, no matter how you defended it, Jason Terry could shoot the ball in.
Fortunately, it was their first two home games that held on, and the game was dragged to their third home stadium.
Now the goal of the Heat is to take advantage of the home court to drag the series into a tiebreaker!
Both teams did everything they could to prepare in the short pre-match preparation time.
……
On June 3rd, the day of Game 6 between the Hawks and Heat arrived.
In the morning, Liu Mang and his teammates did a new training session together, and after Mitaka discussed with the coaching staff, today's playing style and tactics are very clear, and the training carried out is a bit "retro" for the Eagles, and there is a feeling of returning to two years ago.
Although the lineup is not so suitable, it is almost the same, at that time, there was Rahim, the internal and external defensive connection point and the rebounding king, and there was an excellent inside singles swingman with Liu Mang, the Hawks played the superstar is the best in the league, and now although the lineup has changed a lot, there is no better way.
Adjusting to the best state possible, in the afternoon, the Eagles players took a rest, and in the evening, Liu Mang took his family from the rented seaside villa to the American Airlines Center and began to warm up.
When he was stretching and warming up on the elliptical machine, Liu Mang was making a few preparations.
First of all, the worst-case scenario, if the sixth game is lost, then the seventh game must be won, and that special card of "Atlanta's Fury" can be used.
This special card is a special card that can come in handy at any stage of his career, as long as the opponent wins three games in the series, Liu Mang can use it.
It's just that after getting this special card, the Eagles have reached their first peak, which is the peak of the original three eagles of Liu Mang and Raheem and Jason Terry.
Since then, no opponent has been able to drag them into a tie-break or lead them in the series.
It may be useful this time.
But this is the worst-case scenario, Liu Mang is ready to do his best to win the series in Game 6, and he doesn't want to give the Lakers too much time to prepare.
Then there is a high probability that you will need to use a star card or a special card!
