From today on is the king

Chapter 1188 1187. McGrady who wants to make trouble
Maddie made a sudden outside shot and was mainly responsible for scoring.

McGrady has a dream for this year's playoffs. Although the probability is not high, there must be a dream.

Of course, winning is the first priority, but at the same time as winning, McGrady also wants to do something!

McGrady didn't say anything, what he meant was that he wanted Liu Mang to rest more, because the regular season was too tiring.

然后在系列赛第三场，麦迪首节拿到17分，第二节拿到15分，第三节有些萎了拿到9分, 前三节拿到31分钟, 27投13中, 三分11中5，罚球14中10，三节爆砍41分！
Liu Mang never expected that one day he would play soy sauce for two consecutive matches...

In the second and third quarters of the last game, McGrady and Jason Terry showed off their power, completely widening the point difference.

McGrady came directly in the first three quarters today, scoring 41 points and 4 assists in the three quarters, helping the Eagles lead by 77 points 51-26 in the three quarters.

As for Liu Mang, he played 24 minutes in three quarters and scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

McGrady scored more than half of the team's points by himself!

Liu Mang was very happy to clock out after three quarters. That’s right, he could take a break. Except for the finals in the playoffs, people actually don’t pay much attention to statistics. Of course, in the case of winning, the fans of the losing star need to find various reasons to prove that the team lost and the star did not lose.

But after winning, Liu Mang doesn't care so much about the statistics of the first game. People often discuss so-and-so's average statistics, most of which are regular season statistics, and playoff statistics are rarely discussed in this way.

After all, for some stars, there are very few samples in the playoffs, except for the first round... or the first round...

Liu Mang felt that McGrady was weird. This year's playoffs were so different.

He was the one who started playing first, and now he is the one who is playing the most focused. Last game he fought hard against Artest, and today he scored hard.

It’s hard to say what’s weird about McGrady, the fans all praised McGrady’s hard work in this year’s playoffs, but Liu Mang just thinks it’s weird!
Easily playing the big score back to 2 to 1, the Eagles did not take much effort, and defeated the Pacers again by 106 to 79, 27 points, and regained the home court advantage.

On the Pacers side, they gave up resistance after the first quarter, played their own, and returned to the feeling of the regular season.

……

On April 4, the fourth game between the Eagles and the Pacers, there was no suspense. The Eagles took a big lead from the beginning.

The episode of this game was a conflict between Artest and McGrady. Artest crushed McGrady to break through. After McGrady accurately predicted the timing of the shot, McGrady gave Artest a big hat. Artest was pushed behind McGrady.

The Pacers were very united in group fights last year, but this year there was no one to help. Artest was surrounded by five Eagles... Artest felt like "I'm Dafu Pan", and his heart was cold...

The problem is not big, the referee responded in a timely manner, McGrady escaped insidiously, Artest and Kwame Brown were sent out.

Lost Artest, the only player with hard work, Stephen Jackson was restrained by Liu Mang, Jermaine O'Neal has never been a strong heart, falling behind 1 to 2 is like the sky falling, his mentality exploded, and he couldn't even beat Rasheed Wallace and Mourning.

93 to 78, the Eagles won three consecutive victories and won all two away games.

……

……

"Hiss..." Liu Mang watched the video of McGrady being caught elbowing on the official NBA website, and he didn't expect McGrady to be so insidious!
I have learned badly!

It was taught by villains Jason Terry and Rasheed Wallace!
McGrady was such a good kid back then, but now he is like this.

McGrady was fined a technical foul, and Kwame Brown and Artest were still pushing and shoving after the referee surrounded them. The two were each suspended for one game.

For Artest, Liu Mang expressed sympathy for Artest. This guy has a brain. Liu Mang remembers that this guy was hit by an elbow by Kobe, and he was suspended for six games in the playoffs by Harden's provocative elbow. Even the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills was when the Pistons were abused by the Pacers for more than 20 points. Ben Wallace pushed him first in shame...

This honest kid, this time he was fooled by McGrady...

Liu Mang felt that there was such an insidious person beside him...it was really great.

After two away games, on the afternoon of April 4th, Liu Mang returned to Atlanta with the team. He rested today and had training tomorrow afternoon. He played the fifth game against the Pacers the day after tomorrow.

The Eagles are ready to solve this series at home and don't want to drag it down.

Artest was suspended for one game, which sounded the death knell for the Pacers. Although Kwame Brown was also suspended, the Eagles had a greater advantage.

The only pillar on the Pacers side is Artest.

Liu Mang watched the news and complained about McGrady for a while, and then went downstairs to watch the fourth game between the Lakers and Nuggets this afternoon with his father.

……

On May 5, the Eagles defeated the Pacers again, 1 to 122 at home.

Without Artest's defense, Liu Mang played 33 minutes in this game, 17 of 12, and easily scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, which was too easy.

The Pacers also scored very quickly. In addition to Liu Mang's 35 points, McGrady also scored 29 points after playing 30 minutes. Liu Mang and McGrady scored 65 points and 10 assists together, helping the Eagles easily win Game [-].

Without Kwame Brown, the Pacers finally scored more than 80 points in a game starting from Game [-].

The Eagles maintained a focused defense throughout the entire process, even the players who played in garbage time were very hard on defense.

revenge!

The revenge of the red fruit and the fruit!

The Eagles eliminated the Pacers 4-1 and entered the second round!
刘莽打完首轮，场均23分7板6.2助攻，麦迪首轮，场均26分4板4.6助攻。

……

……

As one would expect after watching Game [-] of the Hawks-Pacers series, the series was over.

However, seeing the Eagles restrict the Pacers to only one score over [-] in four games, the strong revenge mentality made some fans feel terrible.

He didn't spare his opponents during the garbage time, and he still beat him to death.

But the Eagles are not the first team to advance to the second round.

On the Nets side, Xia Ke defeated them 4-0.

Liu Mang seems to have seen the 2014 playoffs, the third-ranked Raptors in the Eastern Conference were eliminated by the sixth-ranked Nets in the Eastern Conference...

The Pistons seem to have a stronger lineup and a better lineup, but it's the same as being played by Kidd.

People call Arenas and Larry Hughes of the Wizards garbage brothers, which seems to be a little bit of a deviation. The two have been together for two years, and they have only cooperated for one year in the playoffs.

On the contrary, the Pistons have been eliminated by the Eagles for four consecutive years. No matter how well they play in the regular season, they are almost always swept by the Eagles.

This is more like what the garbage brothers can do...

Liu Mang has a little bit of regret. It's the first time in five years that he didn't meet the Pistons in the playoffs.

In addition to the Nets sweeping the Pistons, there was also a series of sweeps. The Spurs swept the Jazz 4-0.

The Jazz send a first-rounder, take a look at what the playoffs are like in the playoffs, and go fishing.

The Lakers led the Nuggets 3-1. After the Nuggets fell behind 0-3, they finally relied on Kenyon Martin to score 21 points and 20 rebounds at home. They won a game and saved a little bit of dignity without being swept away.

On the second day after the Eagles advanced, the Lakers returned to their home court to play the fifth game on May 5, and the promotion was also in sight.

The Heat beat the Bulls 4-1 and avenged last season.

The Mavericks currently lead the Sonics 3 to 1, there is not much suspense.

Only two series were extremely tight.

In the series between the Cavaliers and the 76ers, after the Cavaliers lost their home court advantage, they went to Philadelphia in the third game to regain the home court advantage. The 76ers defended the fourth game and are about to usher in the battle of Tianwangshan.

It is not a surprise that the Cavaliers and the 76ers played equally well. The records of the two teams are not much different. Iverson is more experienced, which makes up for the weakness of the team's lineup.

In the series between the Clippers and the Suns, the Clippers performed unexpectedly amazing!
If it weren't for the Lakers getting Yao Ming to re-emerge this year, the Clippers' performance this season can be called a really strong team.

After five games between the Clippers and the Suns, the Clippers lead 3-2!

No one in the Suns can stop the peak captain. Even if Stoudemire recovers to play, the Suns may only be able to attack with the Clippers.

Facing the weak interior defense of the Suns in this round of the series, Brand averaged 33 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists per game, playing like a superstar.

……

In this playoff situation, the Eagles coaching staff is very sad.

It is too difficult to predict who will advance between the 76ers and the Cavaliers.

Neither Iverson nor James meant to play abnormally. It was impossible to predict which side would win in less than the last minute of each game.

Maybe there will be a tiebreaker!
At this time, the Eagles coaching staff felt that losing a game in the first round did not seem to be a bad thing.

骑士队和76人队第五场是5月2号打，最晚可能打到5月6号抢七分出胜负。

The Eagles will end the first round on May 5, which means five more days of rest, which is better than seven or eight days of rest in the first round.

During these five days, the Eagles coaching staff asked the players to conduct technical training and simple technical and tactical training. As for the targeted tactical training, it can only be decided by the Cavaliers and 76ers.

After the Eagles' series ended, the voting for some of the league's awards has also ended. On May 5, when the Eagles started a relaxing training day to prepare for the battle, the league began to announce some awards.
