From today on is the king

Chapter 1462 Chapter 1461. Xiaoya Xiaojiro (asking for a monthly ticket)

Following the gradually changing expressions of his teammates, Liu Mang heard the prompt from the system, and immediately said in his heart: "Use the fury of Atlanta!"

"Ding... Atlanta's fury has been used. All Atlanta Hawks players have entered a manic state. Their fighting spirit and morale have been greatly improved. Physical fitness has been greatly improved depending on the player's own physical condition. There will be no side effects within the limitation period. Time limitation: until the end of this round of the series."

"Ding...Because of the bewitching effect of the host Hitler, and because the Eagles are in the worst environment when Atlanta's Fury is used, the special effect of Atlanta's Fury is triggered, and a temporary buff is obtained: last stand."

"Last Stand: Take a step back and fall into the turbulent river, and the extreme pressure on the verge of elimination is transformed into motivation. Time limit: this round of the series."

Liu Mang saw the effect prompted by the system. Indeed, this special card does not have any strength bonus effect, but...

But Liu Mang has a group of teammates who are completely different from before!
Do not break or stand!

Now I have fallen to the bottom of the valley, and there is no room to fall... It is time to get up from the cliff that is about to fall into the Yellow River!

Can morale win?
This Liu Mang doesn't have much confidence, but he has a song in Hokkien that he likes... Hard work will win!

……

……

Everyone believed that Kobe would get his revenge and the Lakers could finally win the championship. It was just a matter of how many games the Hawks could last.

The Lakers swept the Eagles to win the championship, and many people support this view.

After all, Liu Mang and McGrady played like that in the second and third games, and the Eagles still lost.

The only thing people can look forward to is that the Eagles have maintained a fairly efficient defense, but the few guys inside the Lakers... really can't defend.

As for the Hawks comeback...

No one has such an idea at all, including Eagles fans or even the Eagles' own players.

Using the fury of Atlanta, Liu Mang didn't have any particularly high hopes, he just didn't want to lose so badly.

The teammates are in a state of rage, and they just want the Lakers to win the championship. They think the same as what the media and fans have speculated. To avoid being swept, it is a game to delay one more game.

After all, there has never been a 0 to 3 comeback situation.

even……

It is very difficult for a team that is behind 0 to 3 to win two games!
本来的时空里，NBA历史上有三次0比3落后的情况下追到3比3，正是巅峰期防守诺维斯基效果最好的大前锋拉希德-华莱士，他在02-03赛季带领开拓者差点完成超级逆转。

But this time and space failed to do this because of the changes in various details.

这个时空里，之前的一次0比3追到3比3，是1993-1994赛季掘金队，他们在黑八之后的第二轮上去就被爵士队打了个3比0，随后开始爆发从0比3追到过3比3，但最后差了一口气，卡尔-马龙在抢七中爆发打出了31分14板6助攻的数据，帮助爵士队以91比81赢了10分。

Before that... It all dates back to the 50s. That time was the intermission year of the Minneapolis Lakers' five championships in six years. They trailed the Royals 0-3 in the Western Conference Finals, caught up to 3-3, and finally lost. There are no specific figures for the score at that time.

0 to 3 comeback, no team has ever done it.

In addition, there is another thing that is even more impossible for the Eagles. These precedents of chasing from 0 to 3 to 3 to 3 are all outside the finals. There is not even one such performance in the finals, even... Most of the teams that were 3 to 0 in the finals were swept away. For example, the Nets in 2002 and the Magic in 1995, 3 to 0 means they can win the championship.

极少的在总决赛0比3落后的情况下没被横扫的，顶多是追到1比3，然后1比4被淘汰，但起码保住一点尊严。

……

There is an old saying: The most important thing is perseverance.

Rekindling their fighting spirit, and with the humiliating Eagles players who fell behind 0 to 3, on June 6, the second day of the game against the Lakers, they restarted tactical discussions and training.

The Hawks coaching staff no longer had any hope for the finals. On the 10th, it was originally a rest day arranged by the coaching staff. In the fourth game, they just held the mentality of winning or not. They reached the finals for four consecutive years, especially after the three-peat.

The Eagles have never been under pressure. Starting from the boss, they have not put pressure on the players this season.

However, the coaching staff came to the arena early as usual. At this stage, they are not trying to come up with a way to make a comeback, but are starting to prepare for next season.

Mike Woodson has made it clear that he will not renew his contract at the end of this season. He has a better development path. As the head coach, Coach Kruger is also considered a senior, so it is impossible to stop him.

Summer signings must definitely be signings, and transactions are inevitable. Xia Tian must make a large-scale personnel adjustment based on the problems encountered in this finals.

There is also the matter of draft picks, which also needs to be discussed. Some players are really reluctant, but for the continuity of the team system, some choices must be made.

But when Coach Kruger and others arrived at the arena near [-] o'clock and close to [-] o'clock, they found that their players had already started preparing for the fourth game!

The lively discussion in the lounge, running out from time to time to experiment with running positions, etc., surprised the coaching staff!
Taking advantage of the break between discussion and training, Coach Kruger called Liu Mang out.

"Ace..." Before Coach Kruger could ask, Liu Mang answered.

"We still want to win the fourth game, so we are working hard. John borrowed it, we need him." Liu Mang was very straightforward and didn't want to waste any time.

"Oh...well..." Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang's clear eyes that seemed to say 'I just want to win', and he didn't know what to say, so he replied.

It's no wonder that coach Kruger reacted like this. He didn't expect it at all. It was 0 to 3, and his players were still so motivated and passionate about preparing for the game.

Coach Kruger's first reaction to such a thing was a little confused...

Seeing Liu Mang leave with Stockton, who was also a little confused, Coach Kruger returned to the chair and sat in meditation for a while.

After thinking for a while, Coach Kruger used his landline to dial the intercom in the arena: "Mike, come here... Oh, it's nothing important, it's just that the finals are not over yet, and you are still our most important partner..."

……

If even the things that kept the Hawks winning in the first place are lost because of a loss of confidence, a loss of fighting spirit, then there really is no chance.

In the second and third games, the Eagles lost only single-digit points on the offensive end when only Maimang was sprinting. It was because of the defense that they worked hard to study the opponent.

Liu Mang absolutely cannot give up on this point.

Similarly, the Eagles players in a state of rage, also know the importance of this.

And... precisely because of this, their fighting spirit and passion are even higher!
In the second and third games, Liu Mang and McGrady have already performed at a super high level. Liu Mang is regarded as an important factor for the "loser's MVP", which is the performance in the second and third games. However, under the explosive performance of the two, the others did not make their due contributions.

If even one outside shooter makes two extra shots on open shots, or finds a better cut and draws a foul, there could be a chance for a comeback.

But they couldn't.

Therefore, the continuity of the defensive end not only makes the Eagles players pay attention, but also makes most Eagles players become more passionate.

The Eagles refused to interview, rejected any outside interference, and concentrated on training, so that some media who wanted to know the current mentality of the Eagles players and wanted to ask the Eagles what plans for next season were shut down.

But the focus of the fans... is a little bit off...

Some media photographed that Liu Mang was carrying a schoolbag when he entered the Phillips Arena for training.

Liu Mang didn't carry a backpack for many years when he went to an away game, but at home, he didn't need to carry a backpack at all.

What does this move mean?
Since the finals seemed too clear, the media couldn't find any other topics besides repeatedly hyping the Hawks to be swept away and the Lakers to take revenge.

Fans are also tired of the same arguments.

In particular, there are many fans of Liu Mang. Although Liu Mang has reached the finals for the fourth consecutive year after three consecutive championships, they are very satisfied. Before the start of the season, they did not expect the Eagles to win 60 games. The veteran was also chagrined.

Fans don't want to read news that promotes the odds of the Eagles being swept.

then……

What does it mean that Liu Mang carried a backpack? This kind of question is completely out of tune with the tense atmosphere of the finals, but the style of the painting is so strange. It became popular...

……

Two hours of tactical discussion in the morning, one hour of simulation training, and the same in the afternoon.

Practice is important, but the Hawks know that rest is also important.

The difference between the fury card and the violent card is that the reason can be kept more clearly.

After the training, Liu Mang was carrying a backpack and rode his bicycle home swaggeringly, for fear that others would not know that he was carrying a schoolbag, so he didn't even drive today...

Back the schoolbag first, in case there is a chance of a comeback, Liu Mang will use Durant's star card.

Of course, if there is no chance to make a comeback... Carrying a schoolbag is nothing.

If there is no chance to come back, Liu Mang will not use that card, it is too shameful.

In the next three games, no matter which one, there is no need to use it, because if you use it, you don’t know what will happen in the next game, and...if you need it to win in one of the next three games...then whether you use it or not will not have a big impact on the final outcome. Besides, 100% Durant... Liu Mang doesn’t think he will be better than himself.

This is the last method you don't want to use, unless you really hit the tiebreaker. When you need to use it in the tiebreaker, you can announce who you want to drink during the break.

And the hardest road...isn't it the hardest road right now?

But it is too difficult to have a chance to use it...

Not sure at all, this time Liu Mang was not sure at all from the very beginning.

This feeling is quite like when the dream just started...

No matter what kind of method it is, I just have the idea of ​​trying it if necessary, and I must first make the preparations that can be done!
