From Today it is the King of the Basketball

Sweeping the Pistons 4-0, the Hawks became the first team to advance in the second round!

For the Hawks and Pistons series, the fans' focus has long been on wins and losses, but on Larry Brown and Stephen Jackson, who are choking each other every day.

Even the Hawks have been ignored. The East side is now the most concerned, not the earliest Hawks advanced to the division finals, nor the Pacers and Nets played a 2-2 anxious series, fans The focus on the Eastern Conference playoffs is all on the Pistons soap opera.

The Nets and Pacers played very anxiously, and it was getting more and more ugly. In addition to relying on Kidd and Carter in the first game, they won a gorgeous counterattack on the road. In the next three games, the score One game is lower than the other, and both teams start to defend.

In the second game, the Pacers defended the home at 85 to 77. In the third game, the Nets returned to New Jersey, and contributed a more ugly drama to the visiting Pacers. 75 to 71. After the Pacers came away, they took home The advantage was snatched back.

In the fourth game, the defensive battle between the two teams reached its peak. The Nets beat the Pacers 72-65 and beat the Pacers to 2-2. They are about to start the battle of Mount Tianwang on May 9.

In the west, the two-round series will be much better. The relative gap between the Lakers and the Spurs in the series is a little more obvious. The Spurs have lost Bowen and there is no outside single guard. Malik -Rose is very good. Substitute forwards swingman Turkoglu and Devin Brown also tried to defend Kobe in turn, but the effect was not good. When the Spurs were encountered, Kobe Bryant exploded. The first four games The game was 3 to 1, and the magical 0.4 seconds was not seen.

The Timberwolves and the Kings played as anxiously as the Nets and Pacers. The two teams scored 2-2. It is also a home advantage. You come and go to compete with each other. The Kings snatched the Timberwolves' home advantage in the first game.

The Timberwolves played very hard in the second game. Fortunately, Garnett blocked the ball at the last moment and fanned Bibby's three-point lore to defeat the Kings.

In the third game, the Timberwolves took advantage of the alien Kassel's lore to take home advantage and win 114-113.

In the fourth game, the Kings were always behind in the first three quarters, because the Timberwolves sacrificed the defensive battle, and they made the two teams score no more than 60 in three quarters. In the end, the Kings finally broke out in the fourth quarter and scored 24 points in the single quarter. At the end of the quarter, he only scored 14 points and was overtaken by the Kings. The Kings reversed the Timberwolves 83-76 and made the big score 2-2. They will go to the Timberwolves at home to play the game of Tianwang Mountain.

The game between the Kings and the Timberwolves is very interesting. In the entire series, the top three scoring averages are all Timberwolves, but the six players from the fourth to the ninth scoring are all Kings players. Team basketball contest.

The three-round series looks suspenseful, even if it is the Spurs, people think there is still suspense. Duncan's Lianzhuang MVP in the past two years and last season defeated all opponents to win the championship by himself. The impression brought is too shocking.

...

...

On May 8th, after playing the Pistons early the next morning, Liu Mang followed the Hawks to flash away from Detroit and returned to Atlanta. The Hawks began to prepare for the next opponent.

Since the energy of the previous few days was all focused on the Pistons, even if Liu Mang knew that the Pistons had no fighting spirit, but no fighting spirit did not mean that the opponent did not play well, but there was no desire to win, but the tactical execution was still very perfect, especially Regarding his pinch, Liu Mang clearly felt that the opponent's pinch strategy focused on him did not relax a bit, but because there was no fighting spirit, the continuous defensive rotation of the layers after layer was not so active.

In order to avoid overturning the boat in the gutter, Liu Mang has not relaxed his vigilance against the Pistons, and it is even more impossible for other players. In the playoffs, the opponent is still a 54-win team. Dare to care, the energy of the Eagles coaching staff has always been Focus on the Pistons here.

When it was time to prepare for the second round of opponents, it was found that another Eastern Conference semifinal played so anxiously!

Liu Mang felt that it was too early to advance!

Since the first round took only nine days to complete, the second round started too early. The league hopes that the finals will start from June 1st to 4th, so the second round has returned to home and away. The two-day break, which is a series of 2-2 nets and Pacers on May 6, may be completed at the latest on the 15th. The Eagles may have to rest for up to ten days! The latest start time of the next round may be dragged to the 18th!

Although the rest is good, it is a great benefit for the recovery of veterans such as Stockton, Ratliff, Ostertag, but for young players, a rest of three or four days is fine, ten days, maybe The status is gone!

...

Liu Mang thought that he had to do something. After thinking about it, he had a good night ’s sleep. On the second and third days, he also trained at home or in the arena like other teammates. Liu Recklessly chose to train and accompany Dina at home to play games and inexplicably learn to arrange flower arrangements for Alexia to spend the first three days after the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Counting the day the Hawks returned from Detroit, No. 8 and No. 9 were the Eagles coaching staff to leave for the players. No. 10 only had regular training, that is, one and a half hours in the afternoon, two tactical lessons, and nothing else .

The remaining three series, as Liu Mang expected, were very anxious.

The Timberwolves lost to the Kings 76-80 at home in the Battle of the Heavenly King Mountain. The defensive battle between the two teams was considered deadlocked.

The Nets suddenly started the aggressive offense mode. Not only did Liu Mang learn something from the Nets, Kidd also learned from the Eagles ’changing style of play, and came out with a dangerous way. Opened the offensive battle, and really gave the Nets a success, 1 to 113, in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, once again grabbed home advantage on the road.

The two most anxious series, the trend is completely opposite, both thought that the Timberwolves and the king will break into an offensive battle, resulting in the defense to the end.

When they thought that the Nets and Pacers were going to play a more tragic defensive battle, the two teams scored more than 120 points and more than 110 points.

For the Lakers and Spurs, the Spurs should not be underestimated. It seems that they lost one of their home games in three of their first four games, but they played quite well when they went to the Staples Center in Game 5. The Spurs' tactics changed abruptly in this game. They learned how the Hawks played against the Lakers in the regular season. They defended the outside line. Nestorovic and Duncan took turns to defend O'Neal. They blocked the outside line and allowed O'Neal to play singles.

Although Duncan was hit by O'Neal on 14 shots in three quarters. After the first three quarters, O'Neill scored 35 points and 11 rebounds in the paint. However, in the fourth quarter, O'Neill was completely weak. Both ends of the offense and defense began to fall off the cliff. The whole game After playing, he only had 38 points and 15 rebounds, and only got 3 points in the last quarter.

Duncan also responded with a 33 points and 13 rebounds. At the same time, the Spurs let Kobe play the worst performance in the series, only 15 shots, 7 of 15 scored 18 points, Kobe Bryant's shooting efficiency in this game is still good, playing Spurs It's always so powerful, but there are 6 mistakes!

Relying on this aggressive defensive strategy and relying on Duncan and Nestorovic to kill O'Neal on a one-on-one single defense, the Spurs successfully pulled the big score to 2 to 3.

All three series are likely to tie for seven, Liu Mang has expected this situation, so, on the night of the 10th, the Spurs and the Lakers played 2 to 3, after all three series were played 2 to 3, He has sent all his teammates a message, and it's time to take some responsibility.

The main thing is that Liu Mang waited for three days. No one in this group of teammates was like a senior. Even Stockton didn't do it. Only Liu someone did it!

...

...

"Ace, I am going to be a boss now." Stockton patted Liu Mang's shoulder with satisfaction.

"... I said John, shouldn't this be the old future like you?" Liu Mang rolled his eyes.

"Theoretically, this is true, provided that I am a veteran player of our team, plus my 20-year career resume, there is no problem, but I am a new veteran, I do this kind of thing inappropriate." Stowe Kirton explained.

"But why didn't the group of **** call them without me, and they are still only prepared to come to regular training and go back? There is no sense of crisis!" Liu Mang feels that these teammates have no sense of crisis?

Last night Liu Mang sent a text message to all his teammates. He gathered at 8 o'clock this morning. He did not reply to the doubtful text message. His attitude was relatively hard. Everyone came this morning.

Liu Mang came the earliest. He and Coach Kruger discussed ahead of time. Trainers, shooting assistants, physiotherapists and others also came to the stadium in advance to cooperate with Liu Mang.

For Liu Mang to assume the responsibility of the team, Kruger coach wished that Liu Mang would come a little more and cultivate Liu Mang's sense of being the boss.

The teammates only came to know that Liu Mang wanted to organize more compact training. Seeing Liu Mang ’s rare seriousness, the sense of oppression brought by the power of the heads of state, the teammates were all serious, and they were doing a good job before training. Warm-up preparation, one by one to see the trainers today to plan their own training.

The amount of training did not reach the point of exaggeration, just let the players play a 40-minute second half match the next day, and the amount of training on the rest day was also raised, but since it is not an official game, it is just training, so it is really hard and energy The consumption is not as big as the real game, and it is easier to recover.

Liu Mang summoned his teammates, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the teammates, so as not to let the teammates off, the teammates also responded positively.

Liu Mang was very satisfied that the teammates did not complain after receiving the task to increase the amount of training, but they were still a little puzzled and asked their own teacher.

Stockton didn't answer the question and asked, "Ace, who are you talking about?"

"Who are you? Jason, Sharif, Rashid ..." Liu Mang counted his team's star players.

"Ace, did you understand something wrong." Stockton laughed.

"Something wrong? What's wrong?" Liu Mang didn't understand.

"They are just role players. Do you want a role player to have a good sense of crisis?" Stockton said calmly that Liu Mang wanted to cover his teacher's mouth.

Looking around, there was no one else. Liu Mang was relieved and yelled at Stockton: "John, do you want to cause conflicts in the team?"

"Ace," Stockton didn't feel that he was wrong at all. "Do you think this team will be a superstar besides you?"

Super star?

Liu Mang looked at the group of teammates. The best talents may be Rahim and Kwame Brown. It seems that they have no chance to become a superstar. Raheem is already at its peak. Kwame Brown is another player. problem.

Rashid Wallace and Jason Terry ... there is not much room for improvement, Ratliff is old ... Although Boozer's peak period is strong ~ www.readwn.com ~ but also superstars are nothing Relationship, he did not have the ability to change a team by himself.

Korver, no matter how late he is, is only an All-Star fringe player ...

Stockton continued: "These people, before you come to the Hawks, before you grow up, are nothing. It's up to you that they have the current achievements. Like the teammates of our team, I I've seen too many players who are as talented as they are, but they can't make any difference even when they are together. Glenn Robinson, Sean Camp, Wen Baker, Antonio McDyess ... too many talents. People, but there is no possibility of superstars, our current teammates are really good, but without you, they are nothing. "

Stockton's vision is rather venomous! Liu Mang was frightened by Stockton's words, but did not expect his teacher's analysis to be so good!

"In addition to strength and talent, the superstar's brain is also very important," Stockton said to Liu Mang. Liu Mang also listened honestly. Stockton was very satisfied and continued: "Your teammates We all put the scepter that commands them into your hands, they ca n’t think of so many, and even if they think of it, you do n’t have the power to command everyone, you are the future superstar of this team, these Things are what you have to bear, your needs, let teammates meet, let teammates sacrifice for you, rather than waiting for teammates to react. "

Stockton's remarks touched Liu Mang so much that he never thought about it.

Really speaking, too selfish!

But superstar, which is not selfish?

Wouldn't the future Big Three of the Heat be the sacrifice of Wade and Bosh to achieve James?

After listening to Stockton's elaboration of superstars, Liu Mang unconsciously jumped out: "Teammates come and go, only the champion is eternal?"
