From today on is the king

Chapter 1216 1215. This is the first time someone is so arrogant

After discussing the countermeasures for the next game with McGrady and Jason Terry, Liu Mang returned to his room in the afternoon to study how to better perform well under the opponent's defense.

In the evening, Liu Mang came to McGrady's room, and most of the Eagles players came, wanting to watch the fifth game between the Lakers and the Mavericks.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles to play against the Mavericks in Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals. After the game started, the Mavericks almost gave up, feeling like giving up on themselves.

Liu Mang felt that Kobe was really lucky!
Sometimes in NBA games, I really don’t know how to describe it. The head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson, is just like a stunned young man. He insists on playing star singles stubbornly. Indeed, the Mavericks star singles are very effective. The Spurs were killed by the Mavericks star singles.

But the opponent is the Lakers, playing singles with Kobe and Yao Ming. Fisher, Wang Zhizhi, Odom, Luke Walton and others can shoot the Mavericks to death with open three-pointers.

The Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense is effective against the Spurs. The Spurs mostly play team basketball except for superstar singles. The Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense is also very effective for the Hawks or the Heat. The Heat's Wade does not have a three-pointer, and the offensive area is relatively limited.

It just so happens that the Lakers happen to be the team that is best at playing superstars. The head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson, is played by the Zen master...

Liu Mang felt that Kobe was really lucky. The Spurs were eliminated by the Mavericks and failed to make it to the Western Conference Finals.

Although Kobe is also the Spurs' bitter master, but the combination of Kobe and Yao Ming has just been formed for the first year, Popovich may have a way to do something about the two, but the 41-year-old general Johnson...

If Carlisle was the head coach of the Mavericks, it would definitely not be the same situation. It is a pity that Coach Carlisle is too good. The Pacers signed a four-year contract with him. Coach Carlisle can still bring the Pacers into the playoffs under such a sad situation. Bird has no reason and does not want to fire Carlisle.

96 to 88, the Lakers eliminated the Mavericks in five games and advanced to the finals!
……

The Lakers have reached the finals, and the pressure is on the Eagles and Heat.

Kobe Bryant said in a post-match interview after advancing to the finals: "No matter who will be our opponent, there is no difference. The final championship is us. I expect anyone to be our opponent."

So arrogant!
Liu Mang and McGrady looked at Ke's face in the interview after the game, and they both wanted to step on this guy's face with their 48-yard feet.

It's so embarrassing!

Is it amazing to be the first to reach the finals?
Thinking about it, Liu Mang thought that in the Western Conference, he was able to make it to the finals without a hitch. Although he was lucky enough to meet three relatively easy opponents in a row, that was in the Western Conference.

"Ace, Jason, tomorrow's game, we want to win!" McGrady was very upset that Kobe was so arrogant.

It's not about friendship or anything, it's just that Kobe is unhappy.

In the past, McGrady was in the Magic, watching Kobe win the championship, advancing for a while, and taking a defense, he felt enough. Now he finally hugged his thighs tightly. That guy finally withered for a year, and now he has a chance to be embarrassed again.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry were in the same mood. It was the first time in three years that an opponent was so arrogant!
……

The Eagles have nothing to do about the away game, they can only prepare to play horizontally.

As for the Heat, it’s actually the same. All the advantages revolve around Wade’s need to be double-teamed. Once Wade misses the mid-range shot, it’s over.

Other than that, there is no better way to resolve the race.

Fortunately, Wade is in excellent form in the playoffs this year, and his mid-range shots have been very accurate, especially after the second round, and now his mid-range shooting percentage is as high as 50.00%.

But now for the Heat, it's time for crisis again.

The last time they returned home, with the crisis of falling behind 0 to 2, they successfully recovered the situation. Relying on the home court advantage, they tied 2 to 2, avoiding the danger of being defeated by the Eagles within 5 games.

But in the fifth game, Jason Terry exploded like a god, which caught the Heat off guard and couldn't stop it at all!
The explosion was unbelievable. No matter how he defended, Jason Terry could throw the ball in.

Fortunately, they defended their first two home games, and they dragged the game to their third home game.

Now the Heat's goal is to drag the series into the tiebreaker by virtue of the advantage of the home court!

Both teams made every effort to prepare in the short preparation time before the game.

……

On June 6, it was time for Game 3 of the Hawks-Heat series.

In the morning, Liu Mang and his teammates did a new training session. After Mitaka discussed with the coaching staff, today's play style and tactics are very clear. The training conducted is a bit "retro" for the Eagles, and it feels like returning to two years ago.

Although the lineup is not that suitable, it is almost the same. At that time, with Raheem as the connection point between the inside and outside defense and the rebounding leader, as well as the forward swingman with excellent inside singles and Liu Mang, the Eagles played the best in the league against the superstar. Although the lineup has changed a lot now, there is no better way.

Adjusted to the best condition possible, in the afternoon, the Eagles players had a rest, and in the evening Liu Mang took his family from the rented seaside villa to the American Airlines Center and started warming up.

After stretching and warming up on the elliptical machine, Liu Mang was making some preparations.

The first is the worst plan. If the sixth game is lost, then the seventh game must be won, and the special card of "Atlanta Fury" can be used.

This special card is a special card that can be used at any stage of the entire career, as long as the opponent wins three games in the series, Liu Mang can use it.

It's just that after getting this special card, the Eagles have reached their first peak, which is the peak period of Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry's first generation of three Eagles.

Since then, no opponent has been able to drag them into the tie-break or lead them by a big score in the series.

It might come in handy this time.

But this is the worst plan. Liu Mang is going to do his best to win the series in the sixth game, and he doesn't want to give the Lakers too long preparation time.

Then there is a great possibility to use star cards or special cards!
