April 21, the fourth matchday of the playoffs this season.
Seeing Chris Webb score 17 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists to beat Nowitzki, who had 31 points and 10 rebounds, the Kings beat the Mavericks cleanly 93-81.
Seeing Duncan's evil smile appear in the game, he also ate a technical foul, giving his sister-in-law five blocks in a single game, and the entire Grizzlies team only scored 70 points, and the Spurs crushed the Grizzlies 92-70.
Seeing that the Pistons scored 112 points in a single game, Bosh, Hamilton, Stephen Jackson, and Billups combined for 90 points, 112-81 beat the Hornets led by Barlang Davis to death, and the Hornets, who could still compete with the Pistons in the first game, pressed the Hornets after Larry Brown strengthened his defense.
Seven series, all 2-0!
The whole first round was completely crushing!
After watching the first seven games, the fans saw that the last game was the Hawks playing the Knicks, and the Hawks won twice as much as the Knicks.
The league is also distracted, working hard to adjust the schedule, helping many teams that do not have their own stadium to rent other stadiums to negotiate with the owner of the stadium to adjust the lease contract, communicate with the team's local government department for security, pre-sale of season tickets, etc...... Adjusting the schedule is never a word, just give a notice, involving all aspects, the change of the schedule has a great impact on the entire American sports world, involving the whole body, every time the league wants to adjust the schedule, it is a big deal.
But it was so busy, and the result was a collective 2-0 in the first round of this year......
It looks like a 4-2 is likely at best, and there is a high probability that many series will only be 4-1 or even swept ......
At half past eight in the evening, there were two national live broadcasts today, and the poor Spurs and Pistons were ignored again, the first was the All-American live broadcast of the Kings and Mavericks, and the second was the last game of the day between the Hawks and the Knicks.
Given that Mutombo basically did not contribute in the last game, got 3 points and 3 boards, the only time he scored was an assist from Anfernee Hardaway at the beginning, grabbed an offensive rebound and caused a foul and only made two free throws, and then did not contribute much, and played 24 minutes, Mutombo is indeed old, and the playoffs can't activate his combat effectiveness, and there is still a year of big contract in his hands.
Coach Wilkens restarted Vinn Baker today, with Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, Shanton Anderson and Kurt Thomas joining in the start.
On the Hawks' side, it is still the full main lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff.
The ratings of the Eagles' game are still good, and many people have pre-ordered all the live broadcasts of the Hawks playoffs in advance, since the money is spent, it will be wasted if you don't watch it, anyway, it's a big night.
Fans didn't have much hope, and the commentators on ESPN, who broadcast the game live, were all ridiculing whether there would be a sweep in the first round this year, which would really make history.
Who knows, the Knicks broke out at the beginning of today's game!
Kurt Thomas beats Rashid Wallace to win the jump ball!
Liu Mang didn't expect Rashid Wallace to lose the jump ball, and immediately went up to defend Marbury, who faced Liu Mang's defense and started with a three-point shot!
The Knicks, who were beaten to a psychological collapse in the last game, broke the jar today!
Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway, the two hit four three-pointers in a row in the opening game! The opening game played the Hawks 12-4!
Even Liu Mang was stunned!
Who knew these two guys would explode when they came up!
Seeing that the Knicks backcourt combination couldn't stop the waves, Coach Kruger, after playing for a few minutes, simply sent Jason Terry and Liu Mang to partner in the backcourt to fight wave to wave!
However, Liu Mang and Jason Terry's regular wave play failed to do the peerless wave play of Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway in the first quarter.
Throughout the first quarter, Liu Mang and Prince, Jason Terry were taken by Anfernee Hardaway and Marbury in turn, a lone wolf broke the jar and fell, and a penny who had already "seen through the red dust" didn't care so much about his data, just play happily, and the two led the Knicks to lead the Hawks by 9 points 34-25 in the first quarter! The Hawks' 25 points in a single quarter is not too bad, but the Knicks actually scored 34 points!
Today, Liu Mang prepared at the beginning to practice turning over jumpers or something, using the game to practice, the efficiency is okay, breaking through to the middle distance and leaning on Shanton Anderson's turnaround jumper in a single quarter 3 of 5, Liu Mang also scored 10 points in a single quarter, Jason Terry also came up and threw a mid-range shot and a three-pointer, but he couldn't stand up to Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway both scoring double-doubles in a single quarter!
Fortunately, in the second quarter, Coach Kruger sent Liu Mang, Stockton, and Boozer, with Prince and Rashid Wallace, to directly roll out the offensive team's style of play, and then start chasing points from the offensive end.
Since you can't prevent it in the face of two outbursts of waves, then use offense to fight Biao!
Liu Mang's off-ball running, catching and shooting is now more powerful, after running out of position and throwing out the ball, the opponent's chasing person threw it out before he was in front of him, it seemed to be only 0.1 second faster, but the rhythm of the whole game became faster!
There's also Boozer's pick-and-roll cut-and-shoot and open three-pointers from Prince and Rasheed Wallace......
When the Hawks' offense was also ferocious, the pressure on the Knicks' side came.
No matter how many points the Knicks scored, no matter how much Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway broke out today, the Hawks bit the score and didn't let the score be stretched to more than 10 points.
This is too much pressure for the Knicks players, who have little confidence in their own strength!
Just like the opponents of Takumi Fujiwara in the initial D, I can always see the AE86 in the rearview mirror, and the AE86 is the god-like team at this stage, as if it wants to surpass itself anytime and anywhere.
This pressure creeps in the minds of Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway.
And Liu Mang, after being stunned in this situation of being pressed and beaten by the opponent, he was not in a hurry, but played steadily and steadily, taking his time, running and shooting when he should run, playing singles when he should be single, breaking points when he should be sudden, turning over and jumping when he should fall to a low position, and the Knicks will change his style of play if he is defended by him.
Obviously leading the Knicks, the Knicks, who led by 6 points at 69-63 at halftime, collapsed first in the third quarter!
That kind of psychological pressure is too much! Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway didn't have much time to savor that pressure when they didn't have too many long breaks in the first half, but at halftime, the pressure of being chased by the Hawks rolled in.
In the third quarter, the Hawks redeployed a mobile defensive lineup of Mang Liu, Prince, Raheem, Muhammad and Kwame Brown.
Coach Kruger is going to pull the score away in this quarter!
As soon as the third quarter began, the Hawks relied on team defense, constantly giving Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway physical contact, constantly putting pressure on the two, although the two of them combined for 44 points in the first two quarters, they still continued to defend like this.
Finally, Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway, under pressure and under pressure from the Hawks' defense, collapsed!
The continuity of the two scores is broken!
Liu Mang, who scored 25 points in the half, relied on team defense and scored 12 points in a row in the third quarter, leading the Hawks to play a wave of 12-2 and overtaking the score by 4 points!
After that, the Knicks were never given a chance to overtake, and after the third quarter, the Hawks were 92-85, leading the Knicks by 7 points.
In the final quarter, Liu Mang came up as a defensive containment point, and Jason Terry came up with a wave of scoring impact, and after withstanding the final counterattack of Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway, he finally beat the Knicks down completely.
At 118-103, the Hawks only allowed the Knicks to score 34 points in the second half.
Liu Mang finally won the first playoff 40+ in this season and the fifth playoff 40+ in his career, helping the Hawks beat the Knicks by 15 points and won two consecutive victories.
Although it was 2-0, the Hawks' game was unexpectedly good-looking, the Knicks broke out on the offensive end in the first half, and the Hawks' perseverance in the second half finally suppressed the Knicks' outburst and finally won the game.
Everyone didn't expect that the second game of the series, which seemed to have the biggest difference in strength, was actually the best-looking!
……
……
Playing the Knicks, Liu Mang didn't expect to be so tired, but he won the risk.
When I got home, I tossed all night, and the next morning, when Liu Mang got up, he saw Alexia packing her luggage, and the girl who was her mother next to her was still sleeping soundly.
Liu Mang saw that Alexia had taken several boxes, as if she was going to stuff all her clothes into it, and shed a drop of cold sweat and said: "Aida, I'm just going to play away, just for three or four days, not to Antarctica for an expedition." ”
"I don't know which one you like, so bring them all!" Alexia's reasons were simple and crude.
"I like whatever you take...... Liu Mang saw Alexia's thin skirt spreading in the spring, and crawled over shamelessly with sensual words.
Alexia also came to Liu Mang's side, kissed Liu Mang on the mouth and said, "My dear, what do you want to do in the morning?" ”
As she spoke, Alexia stretched out her hand, stuck her middle finger with the thumb of her right hand, and flicked it on the head of Xiao Liu Mang, who raised his head in the early morning......
A terrible scream came from Liu Mang's room......
……
Liu Mang dragged a large box to the parking lot, so he finally reduced his luggage to a box, and then prepared to drive to the airport to meet the team, and the ticket to New York at nine o'clock in the morning.
It's always a pleasure to go to New York, and although the team rules are strict and it's forbidden to go to the playoffs, it's exciting to play away from home in places like New York and Los Angeles.
It was just a two-hour flight, and when I arrived at the New York hotel, it was just time for lunch.
After lunch, Liu Mang continued to devote himself to training, practicing in the hotel's indoor court.
Use training to drive the enthusiasm of teammates, maybe not all teammates will come to train together, and even when they just arrived in New York, most people don't want to train for a two-hour long journey, which is still quite tiring, especially for NBA players who have to take at least 100 flights a year, the Hawks players even Raheem, Jason Terry, and Korver, the three hardest training maniacs in addition to Liu Mang, have chosen to rest.
But Liu Mang leads by example, and the matter of training at the hotel will definitely bring an impact to his teammates, especially for young players, the psychological impact is greater, Liu Mang is going to win the MVP, and he trains hard, and others are embarrassed if they don't work hard.
Coach Kruger, seeing that Liu Mang trained so much was not a big problem, did not stop Liu Mang's training because of too much training, and he also had this aspect in mind.
Liu Mang always has to bear this kind of beauty and responsibility that he should not bear at his age as the youngest player in the team, and can only secretly sigh that it is a mistake to be handsome, how much responsibility he needs to bear if he looks handsome......
Mainly because of the pressure that comes with Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway!
A playoff is a playoff, even if the opponent only has 36 wins, it is still a playoff team, and if one is not careful, it will be very dangerous if he cannot suppress the opponent.
Like in the last game, Marbury scored 38 points, Anfernee Hardaway scored 37 points, and the two combined for 75 points, which scared Liu Mang.
Liu Mang didn't dare to lose, especially in the away game with the Knicks series, if he lost, his star card would have to be randomly deducted!
And the Knicks are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, Liu Mang was startled in the last game, pennies in the playoffs, even if he is 33 years old and has been repeatedly injured, he is still a penny, Marbury is also in his prime, and he is also a top star, even if he is the most marginal of a top star.
So don't be careless!
In this game, Liu Mang is ready to suppress the opponent from the beginning!
After Liu Mang finished training, he returned to the room to take a bath and rest, looking at a few gorgeous star cards, Kobe's reluctance, Iverson's reluctance, the random star cards of the top point guards in all eras of history are also reluctant, Ginobili's is even more reluctant, this is a star card that has a higher fit than Kobe and Iverson's star cards, Liu Mang has felt Iverson and Ginobili's star cards, Iverson is more capable, but Ginobili's star cards have a greater special effect on Liu Mang, perfect fit, left and right bows!
These star cards are reluctant, Liu Mang can only use that one!
Francis' star card ......
This card, it's really chicken, Liu Mang has never found a chance to use it, play a strong team, it doesn't have much effect, and it's not necessary to play a weak team, it's all about abusing each other, just to make his style of play a little more fierce, and the way of playing when abusing vegetables is a little arrogant, but it's useless to play a weak team, it's useless to be arrogant, and it's a pity to abandon it if it's tasteless.
But this game, Liu Mang thinks, may really be useful!
