From today on is the king

Chapter 1207. Chapter 1206.

"Uncle, you're going to be a movie star!" Little Lolita ran to the living room and asked next to Liu Mang after Schwartz left.

"Movie star?" Liu Mang felt strange about this term. He used to say that he was a basketball player. Although he was also a star, he didn't use the word 'star' to refer to an athlete very much. If he wanted to call him a 'sports star', he could also use 'superstar' directly.

Thinking about Liu Mang, I still find it quite interesting. If I can create greatness, if I can have a movie or a documentary to record my struggle, it seems to be a great thing...

Looking at the little girl with stars in her eyes, Liu Mang asked, "What's the matter, Dinah, do you want to be a movie star?"

"I don't want to," Little Lolita refused decisively, "Dinah wants to be a painter! It doesn't matter if uncle is a movie star, he's too handsome. Among movie stars, he's the best at playing basketball!"

"Dinah, what you said is very good. Uncle, try it. After winning the championship this year, I will go to make a movie."

……

What Liu Mang wants is not to make a movie, he just wants to use this movie to test the waters. If the response is good, then he will make a long-term career documentary to record every moment of himself in the NBA. Anyway, now NBA videos are archived for every game, and all kinds of news are also archived. He can make a long-form documentary film from the beginning of the draft to the end of his NBA career.

Something has to be left in the history of the NBA, in the history of sports.

In this era where video archives can be left behind, and video images and pictures can be found after decades or hundreds of years, and earn a lot of money, Liu Mang feels that he can do this.

That makes more sense than a lot of things!

Not only is it meaningful, Liu Mang feels that this matter is really great!
When Liu Mang arrived in the evening, he called Schwartz, briefly talked about his idea, and asked if the idea was feasible.

Schwartz felt weird, did Liu Mang suddenly become enlightened?

Schwartz couldn't have wished for it!
For so many years, Liu Mang doesn’t have too many off-site activities for superstars except for doing some things on his own from time to time. For Liu Mang’s commercial value, he may not need to spend all that time doing anything. He doesn’t worry about endorsement fees.

But of course it is better to have it, and to better develop and utilize his commercial value.

Of course, while the playoffs are still going on, Liu Mang just had a brief chat with Schwartz about this aspect, letting Schwartz know that he has plans in that regard and make some preparations first.

Liu Mang's current goal here is to win three consecutive championships.

Only after winning the three consecutive championships can I think about things about movies and documentaries.

Otherwise, doing those things will only attract ridicule. Only when you succeed can you become more successful!

……

Liu Mang encountered some unexpected things and came up with some new ideas, but he quickly put them aside and focused on the things that need to be done.

After dinner, Liu Mang came to Phillips Arena and watched the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks with the coaching staff and some teammates.

In the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks, generally speaking, there are more people who are optimistic about the Mavericks.

Just defeated the Spurs, Nowitzki just scored 50 points in a single game, and the Mavericks have a relatively good lineup, some starters and substitutes are very strong.

But unexpectedly, the Lakers beat the Mavericks at home in their first game!

81 to 57 in three quarters, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 24 points in three quarters!
Among them, Kobe scored 40 points in three quarters, and the Mavericks could not defend Kobe no matter what they used. When they flanked Kobe, Fisher, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi were all very accurate pitchers. Minutes, 30 out of 6 shots scored 6 points and 14 rebounds, Dampier went from bad to worse, Yao Ming got stronger and stronger, the strength of the two is no longer the same level.

In particular, Yao Ming played against the Suns in the second round, averaging 31 points per game. People expected that Yao Ming's second game against Dampier, who had a big mouth, would at least show off with a drug-addicted combination.

Who would have imagined that Yao Ming scored 22 points and 7 rebounds in 5 minutes today, so he could sit on the sidelines and rest, saving energy for the final quarter, and Kobe beat the Mavericks by himself!

110 to 89, the first game between the Lakers and the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers won by 21 points!
Liu Mang watched the game and felt that the Lakers were in a state of explosion!
The Lakers didn't have many tactical things to win, just Kobe Bryant with 40 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in three quarters, and he killed the Mavericks!
The king of the Western Conference Finals is a bit flamboyant!

……

After watching the first game of the Western Conference finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the next day, May 5, was another rest day. The Eagles started their defensive training against the Heat today.

The offense is fine, the main thing is defense. It is foreseeable that in the next game, the Heat will definitely focus on making use of Wade's body whistle to make a fuss, instead of making a fuss like the last game. There will definitely be sufficient preparation time this time.

The Eagles players and the coaching staff brainstormed and imagined themselves as Wade. If they had such a whistle, with Wade’s explosive breakthrough ability, excellent basket finishing ability, and good mid-range shooting ability, how would they play? Then Liu Mang replaced Wade’s role and simulated Wade’s possible play in training. Others tried to defend.

But... I really can't prevent it!

There is no way around this kind of thing. Wade is already difficult to defend, and O'Neal is holding down the inside defense at the basket. There are many things to consider.

The Eagles can only improve their defense against the Heat as much as possible.

The focus is on defense!

……

On May 5, after two days of rest, the day of the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Eagles and the Heat came.

At [-]:[-] p.m., Liu Mang entered the stadium with his teammates.

The atmosphere on the Heat's side today feels very different to the Eagles.

It can be felt that the Heat want to fight!

Without the excitement they had when they first entered the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat's players looked stern.

Players of both teams attach great importance to the second game. The Eagles want to hold the first two home games in the series and remain invincible. Even if they lose in the away game, it doesn't matter. They have home court advantage.

The Heat definitely don't want the Eagles to gain confidence by winning two home games in a row. At the same time, they also want to win an away game to build up their confidence.
