The Eagles' team training became compact and targeted.

Shoot drills to keep your hands up, continue to strengthen tactical training for the Pacers and Nets, and maintain the feeling of the game against the game.

Lose the impetuousness that has just been promoted, put away the mentality of wanting to relax and rest, and return the body and mind to the state of the playoffs.

After three days of rest, Liu Mang saw that the biggest problem of his teammates was that their mood seemed to be very relaxed, and they wanted to wait for the next round of opponents with a relaxed attitude, which was no problem, and it was important not to be too nervous, but it was too easy, which led to the training becoming easier, and then led to a vicious circle, and there were still people running to fish, which made Liu Mang completely unbearable!

So Liu Mang had the idea of calling his teammates to train together, originally just trying, and then giving it a try, Liu Mang didn't expect his appeal to be so strong, and suddenly pulled all the teammates who had become a little lax because of the eight consecutive wins in the playoffs back, and trained seriously.

It's not that the Hawks players are not motivated, it's that the coaching staff doesn't have much training in the first place, and it's the same as when other teams play in the playoffs, so there will be a series of vicious cycles after relaxation.

But now there is a person taking the lead, and it is Liu Mang, who has a lot of voice in the team, and his teammates are suddenly compact.

Liu Mang was very happy to see his teammates become more positive, but he didn't agree with Stockton's words at one point.

Does being a superstar really need to be that selfish?

It may be that Stockton and Malone have been partners for 18 years, and there have been countless teammates in between, but only the two of them have not changed for this reason.

Although Liu Mang knew that Stockton's words were right, he didn't like this practice because he didn't like it.

Superstars are mavericks, even if it is the poker-faced stone man No. 21, his extreme calmness is also a maverick.

Liu Mang just wants to be a different superstar!

……

The Hawks are actively preparing for the Eastern Finals, whether it is playing the Nets or the Pacers, the Hawks' defense has always been very strong, mainly the offensive tactics of training, and it does not mean that the offensive tactics of playing the Nets cannot be used against the Pacers, maybe it will work wonders if you try it, so the Hawks players will take turns practicing different tactical plays in the morning and afternoon.

Of course, it's more about shooting drills to keep shooting, and if it's even possible, it would be perfect to practice shooting a little better during the training time before the Eastern Conference finals begin.

While the Hawks are actively preparing for the game, other three-point series are also underway.

First out of the tournament were the defending champion Spurs.

The Spurs, who relied on Duncan to force a game back, finally couldn't bear it, mainly because Kobe Bryant faced the Spurs' habitual rampage in the sixth game, scoring 26 points, 7 boards and 7 assists on 10 of 20 shots in the game, none of them hit a three-point shot, only two layups and only one shot rate, 9 of 15 shots from mid-range, 6 of 8 free throws, and Kobe Bryant scored 24 points in the distance from above the free throw line to the three-point line! The Spurs had to block the defense to the middle distance, and the middle range was too large, the Spurs' defense collapsed, and Kobe Bryant played 41 minutes and got 7 assists.

And on the defensive end, this time Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were ruthless, Duncan was elbowed by Malone several times, and the Spurs collapsed in the second game after Duncan's madness, scoring only 69 points in the whole game, although the Lakers also only scored 88 points, but it was enough to call this game a big win!

The Lakers are known as the second team to advance.

The other two teams went slower, playing 3-3.

They all thought that the Timberwolves were going to be eliminated, but they went to Sacramento, Garnett finally went berserk, got 33 points, 21 boards and 5 blocks, Garnett only had one assist in this game, a rare forced chisel in, and Webb didn't want to do it, the Timberwolves beat the Kings 92-84 under Garnett's rampage, and snatched back the home court advantage once again to play the seven-game battle at home, and succeeded again.

The offensive battle between the Pacers and the Nets continued, this time relying on O'Neal Jr. to score a career-high 37 points, plus 15 rebounds and a career-high 6 blocks, the Pacers also continued to succeed, and the Pacers defeated the Nets 109-101 away and entered the tiebreaker.

……

On May 14th, the Timberwolves and the Kings side, in the end, Garnett had the last laugh, Garnett continued his peak season performance, with 11 points, 19 rebounds and 8 assists, the Kings chose to block Garnett, the Timberwolves' entire team offense came alive, Garnett and Cassel combined to get 21 assists, helping the Timberwolves defeat the Kings 113-97 and meet the Lakers!

Finally, on May 14th, the last game of the second round of the East and West was played, and the Eagles players who had been waiting for 9 days finally knew who the opponent of the next round was!

Kidd, who was not blocked by the Pistons' original five tiger generals, even if he only won 44 wins, still crossed the Pacers!

In the last game of the Nets, the style of play changed abruptly again, returning to defense from the offensive battle, limiting the Pacers to only 72 points!

Although Kidd was also made to shoot only 35.2 percent, his three-point shooting rate was very high, 4 of 9 shots, 16 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds in the triple-double data, Carter scored 31 points, leading the Nets to defeat the Pacers 92-72 and win the tiebreaker!

Liu Mang watched the seven-game battle between the Nets and the Pacers at home, and when he saw the Nets stretch the difference to 10 points in the third quarter, he probably guessed that the Nets were going to win.

The tactical changes of the Nets throughout the series surprised Liu Mang, who had been following this series throughout the whole process, and he was worthy of being a head coach in the future, and his learning ability was too strong! Liu Mang was very surprised and a little more jealous.

However, Liu Mang was still a little excited about the Nets' promotion, and when he saw the Nets completely widen the gap in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang's inexplicable excitement became even stronger.

Although winning the Pacers and winning the Nets is no different for Liu Mang's task.

However, beating the Nets makes Liu Mang more eager than beating the Pacers!

There's nothing better than making it to the Finals by leapfrogging the Nets!

There is nothing more refreshing than taking revenge on Kidd directly to make Liu Mang feel better!

……

……

The morning after the second round of the East and West was over, Liu Mang came to the arena.

When he saw his teammates, Liu Mang found that the spirit of his teammates was different!

Although I was motivated and motivated during training, I didn't have such a strong fighting spirit!

Liu Mang clearly felt the hunger in the eyes of his teammates! For beating the Nets, everyone in the Hawks is hungry!

"Ding...... Avengers series of missions: Heroic True Colors triggered. ”

"True Colors of Heroes: The host needs to lead the team to eliminate the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals, mission reward: none. Failure Penalty: None. ”

There are no rewards and no rewards for failing in the task, but Liu Mang is more motivated than any task!

When the Nets advance to the Eastern Conference finals, Liu Mang may be happier than anyone else, happier than the Nets' own players!

If there is a corpse on the road to the finals that is not the Nets, it is definitely the biggest regret for Liu Mang, in the three years of Kidd's peak, he can play with the Pistons of the Five Tigers to the final peak of the tie-break, if he can't beat this Kidd, even if he wins Kidd in the future, it doesn't make much sense.

The phrase "the East is my territory" that was shouted at the beginning, only when he defeated the Nets and defeated Kidd, and it was on the stage of the Eastern Finals, did Liu Mang feel that this was the real completion of this goal...... Liu Mang immediately went to Stockton to see if there was a way to Yin Kidd.

Kidd, this guy is terrible, he can't do it if he doesn't have a yin! Something had to be found to deal with him, and Stockton, who had fought in the West against Kidd, was undoubtedly the best person to look for.

Ambition is a must, but the basketball court is like a battlefield, and intrigue is also part of basketball......

Liu Mang felt that he had to be fully prepared......

……

The Hawks and Nets will meet in the Eastern Conference for the third year in a row, and the series between the Timberwolves and Lakers in the West will be more closely watched than the series between the Timberwolves and Lakers in the West.

Timberwolves beat Lakers...... Not many people are optimistic about the Timberwolves, Malone alone is enough for Garnett to drink a pot, the Lakers also have O'Neal and Kobe, Payton Although he has a ghost-like shooting rate of only 33% in the playoffs, he is a giant, and the Timberwolves have no position to compete with the Lakers except for the three-headed monster.

So, can the Hawks, who have played their strongest regular season performance since the turn of the century this year and won eight straight playoffs, get revenge on the Nets?

Can the Nets continue their playoff dominance over the Hawks? Can you beat the Hawks for three years in a row and make it to the Finals?

Although the Nets only have 44 wins, in the past two years, the Nets have won 50 or so at most, and the regular season record seems to be completely meaningless to them, and in the playoffs, they are completely like a different team.

After identifying the opponent, the Hawks' training became more active, and the players even slept more soundly, from technical tactics to physical, and devoted themselves to preparing for the next Eastern Conference Finals with the Nets.

……

After the second round is over, the long-awaited final prizes of the regular season have also been released!

The first team of the best rookie team is led by the best rookie LeBron James, James averages 21.9+6.6+5.9 per game, Wade averages 16.7+4.3+6.7 per game, Anthony averages 21.6+7.5+2.1 per game, Bosh averages 14.5+6.5 per game, and Milicic averages 10.7+7.2+3.2+2.2 per game.

The top five picks dominate the first team of the best rookie team.

Compared to the rookie team, the second team is not so good, Hinrich, TJ Ford, Josh Howard, Haslem, Jarvis Hayes......

Except for Hinrich and the top five picks, the top ten picks of the 03 generation, none of the other four people are playing now.

This is the characteristic of the 03 generation, which is very powerful, but there is an empty gear in the middle, and the rest are not so powerful.

The first team of the best team, Liu Mang led with the highest score, with an average of 33.1 + 3.8 + 6.6 data per game, Kobe Bryant and Liu Mang were selected for the first team together, with an average of 24.9 + 6.6 + 6.1 per game, Garnett and Duncan continued to occupy a position for a while, Garnett averaged 23 + 13.5 + 6 per game, Duncan averaged 21 + 12 + 3 per game, O'Neal had no opponent in the center position, although he set a new career low in points, averaging only 19.7 + 11.7 + 2.9 per game, but he was still a while.

The second team was led by Kidd, with Maddy, Raheem, Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace selected.

The three teams were led by Kassel, and Peja, Artest, Nowitzki, and Yao Ming were selected together.

In terms of defense, Artest became a rare player who was unanimously selected to the All-Defensive Team, with Bryant, Kidd, Raheem, and Ben Wallace joining forces to be selected to the All-Defensive First Team!

Garnett and Duncan were squeezed out of Artest, who played the strongest single defense performance this year and ranked second in the outside line, and Raheem, who helped the Hawks win 70 games with defense and rebounding!

Garnett can only sit in the second defense position with Duncan, and the two No. 21s are forced to sit in the second defense position, and Prince, Christie, and Ratliff are selected for the second defense together.

There are not too many surprises in the All-Defensive Team and the All-Defensive Team, Raheem has long been called for being selected for the first defense, his help defense efficiency is the highest among all outside players this season, and Prince's single defense efficiency is second only to Artest among outside single defense players, Ratliff is the king of blocks, high efficiency, and has been selected for the second defense for three consecutive years.

These awards are not much of a surprise for the Eagles.

Fans also feel normal, if they don't get so many rewards, the Eagles still have 70 wins, what are other teams going to eat?

The 2001 76ers were even more exaggerated, from MVP to best defensive player to best sixth man, from scoring champion to rebounding champion to best coach, all 76ers.

……

Finally, on May 18th, the Hawks ushered in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Nets at home!

During the two-day break, the Hawks were waiting for the Nets to challenge, and the Nets also came to Atlanta directly on the 16th to prepare for the game after beating the Pacers on the 15th.

In the morning, Liu Mang got up early as always, without too many different behaviors, got up early to run, practiced shooting, and made breakfast with Dinah at seven o'clock, and after breakfast, sent Dina and Alexia to school, and then went to the stadium to meet his teammates.

It's as if nothing has changed much because the series with the Nets is about to start tonight......

The day's tactical training and team meetings were no different than usual, and everyone took every step before the game seriously.

In the afternoon, Liu Mang's only change was that he didn't pick up Dinah and them, but let them come by themselves, Liu Mang didn't want to let go of the last little bit of preparation time, even if he watched the video in these few hours, it was very good.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang received a call and came to the staff parking lot of the stadium, where Dinah, Alexia and Levia came.

"Ace, come on! Take out the Nets! Senior sister is here to cheer you on! "Alexia is dressed very sportily today, as if she is back in college.

Alexia hasn't shown that senior sister posture for a long time, which makes Liu Mang feel very different, so nostalgic, just like playing the East Finals in the first season.

"Ace, if you don't win tonight......" Levia snapped her fingers, "I should train you properly." ”

Practice? Liu Mang thought of something else......

As soon as she thought of something else, Dinah jumped up and Liu Mang hugged her.

"Uncle, kill that ugly Kidd! I hate it when I see him! "Little Lori is as cute as ever.

I feel more motivated!

At this moment, Liu Mang felt that playing basketball seemed to be not only for himself, not only for his own honor, but also for the honor of his family and family.

There are three girls who put that love for basketball into themselves, and these three girls are still their favorite women and little Lori, Liu Mang feels that the responsibility is even greater.

It's not the responsibility of that kind of pressure, but it's full of energy!

I have heard a lot of chicken soup from my teammates' veterans, I have heard a lot of coaches' urging, and I have heard a lot of encouragement from fans, but I can't catch up with this kind of motivation!

……

After Liu Mang and the three girls got together, they returned to the stadium to warm up and prepare for the game.

Before the game, the interview that should have come still came, friendly stations, interviews from other TV stations can be pushed, but ESPN can't be pushed.

"Ace, what does this series mean to you? What does beating the Nets mean to you? Are you confident that you will lead your team to defeat the Nets this year against Kidd, who stole your two Finals chances? "ESPN's reporters are still very friendly, after all, they are friendly stations.

Liu Mang thought about it and thought of the name of the mission that he played the Nets series without rewards and punishments - the true character of a hero.

Little Pony!

I don't know if the people of the American imperialists have watched Xiao Ma's movie, but it doesn't matter if they haven't seen it, Liu Mang hopes that after he finishes this round of the series, American fans will also chase after Xiao Ma's movie.

Liu Mang organized the language and said, "This round of the series? If you really want to talk about it, it's just an ordinary East Duel. Nobody owes me anything, the Nets have beaten us before, they deserve it, they're a strong opponent. However, I have my own principles, I don't want to be trampled under my feet for the rest of my life, I am not reconciled, so I have been using my various efforts and doing everything possible to improve myself. ”

"I've been waiting for three years, just to wait for an opportunity, I want to fight for a breath, not to prove how great I am, I just want to tell everyone that I must get back what I lost!
