From today on is the king

Chapter 1571 1570. Nash is here!

123 to 118, as the Magic used tactical fouls and only scored two points in the last 40 seconds, the Eagles scored a free throw. The Eagles narrowly beat the Magic at home by 5 points!

The fans who bought the live TV broadcast of this game secretly lamented that it was good to learn. They didn't stop watching the second game because the last game was ugly, otherwise they would feel that they were at a loss again.

刘莽首节17分，全场拿到33分6板7助攻1抢断2盖帽，麦迪25分4板3助攻，韦德11分9板3助攻，贾森-特里18分，马里昂13分8板, 隆多2分8板7助攻……老鹰队五人得分上双, 击败了拿到30分的卡特和投进6个三分球的特格克鲁率领的魔术队。

In the game, the two teams took the lead alternately. In the end, the Eagles won with better key ball selection and grasp, which was praised by TV commentators as a textbook-level confrontation battle.

The Eagles lead 2-0, basically in line with public expectations. It is true that the Magic want to steal the victory at the Eagles' home court, which is not as easy as when they played against the Raptors.

The Magic's tyrannical starting lineup is not the same as the Eagles' starting lineup. They can only rely on stronger three-pointers in the starting stage to occupy a weak advantage, and it still has to be in the case of Liu Mang not breaking out.

There is no doubt that the Magic, which lost the first two games, is now under pressure from head to toe!
During the two-day break, Raheem, who has the most experience in the playoffs and has won a championship, will get his teammates together to make a good plan on how to kill the Eagles at home.

The Eagles also set off for Orlando the day after the second game, preparing for the game in Orlando, and feeling the atmosphere of the Orlando playoffs.

……

……

"I said, Dinah, why did you come with me again?" Liu Mang asked, poking the forehead of the little girl sitting next to him.

"There is Disney in Orlando! Uncle, you kill the Magic, and we will go to Disney together after we reach the finals, shall we? A cute young and beautiful girl will accompany you to the playground!" Little Loli frowned at Liu Mang and said, feeling very attractive to herself.

When Liu Mang heard this, he sized it up and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Young and beautiful girl, puff..."

"Uncle, what does your smile mean?" Little Lolita felt a kind of humiliation!
"Dinah, young and beautiful girls don't say they are beautiful girls, you'd better wait until you go to high school to talk about it, I hope you can grow up by then... eh... Dinah, I was wrong, don't bite! Are you a dog..."

……

Bringing Little Lolita to Orlando, Liu Mang came to the Amway Arena for training that afternoon.

Some players from the Magic team were planning to practice extra today, but it was almost evening when they came, and they just saw Liu Mang leave.

After inquiring about it, I learned that Liu Mang came here to train after lunch time, and practiced all afternoon...

People who are stronger than you work harder than you...

What kind of blows or motivations did the Magic encounter, what kind of insights did they gain...it will not affect the progress of time.

On the night of the 26th, the second game of the series between the Lakers and the Suns started.

After two hours and 25 minutes of game time, the winner was decided.

103 to 92, the Suns played two games in a row!In the following system, the away game leads 2 to 0!

科比这场比赛23投11中拿到32分，基本上是他今年季后赛的正常表现，姚明18分10板、加索尔12分6板4助攻，王治郅9分6板……这些都很正常，今天湖人队输球的一个关键是奥多姆12次出手只拿到6分，12中3！并且只有1个罚球都没罚进，打了26分钟只拿到6分3板1助攻。

In this game, the Lakers want to take the initiative to strengthen their defense, and the Suns also want to strengthen their defense. Both sides have done it, but the strength shown by the Suns may be stronger!
……

……

After the first two games of the Eastern and Western Conference finals, two days of game time were given. On May 5, the third game of the series between the Eagles and the Magic began.

The Magic team is facing a situation of being 3-0. They played very focused today and defeated the Eagles at home 106-99, refusing to be 3-0.

Howard scored in double figures for the first time since the Eastern Conference Finals. He scored 19 points and 22 rebounds, beating Kwame Brown with 10 points and 14 rebounds.

For Kwame Brown, the only thing that saved face in this game was that he gave Howard a big hat at the last moment, preventing Howard from double 20.

But overall, Kwame Brown lost to Howard today.

In terms of outside line, if Raheem is also considered outside line, the outside line performance of the two teams is evenly matched, both are so iron...

Liu Mang scored 25 points on 9 of 26 shots, almost scoring without taking as many shots...

It’s a pity for the Eagles that they failed to directly seal the series victory 3-0, but it’s not a surprise. They wanted to crush the Magic earlier, but the Magic are not easy to deal with. Although the Eagles didn’t think about losing in this situation, it’s acceptable to lose the first away game, and just win one of the two away games.

……

The Lakers are 0 to 2 behind. People think that the Lakers should start to "cheer up" in the third game.

Even if both home games are lost, many fans and media still feel that the Lakers still have a chance to comeback. This is their trust in the Lakers' six finals in the past eight seasons.

but……

On the night of May 5th, the Lakers arrived at the home court of the Suns, 29 to 92, and lost to the Suns by 98 points!

For the Lakers, Kobe didn’t make it hard this time. The 50.00% shooting rate looks good, but when Raja Bell was locked up by the mid-range basket, Kobe only got 16 shots. Today he only got 1 free throw, only made 1 three-pointer, and 16 of 8 scored 18 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds.

Gasol is at a disadvantage against Josh Smith in this series. Josh Smith is too good at running!
Yao Ming was fine in the first two games, but his performance also declined in the third game... Tired!
14中5，姚明只拿到13分8板1盖帽！

On the contrary, O'Neal finally overwhelmed Yao Ming in terms of statistics, scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds, his personal best performance in the Western Conference Finals.

The only Lakers team that scored 20 points was the 21 points scored by substitute Wang Zhizhi...

They all went to defend against Yao Ming, Kobe, and Gasol. Wang Zhizhi played the best performance in the playoffs of his career.

But helpless, today the Lakers had a total of 7 players scoring. Except for the starting lineup, only Wang Zhizhi and Odom scored from the bench, and it was useless for 4 players to score in double figures.

On the other hand, for the Suns, it was difficult for Nash to score in double figures in this round of the series, but he averaged 14 assists in three games!
Josh Smith played very well against Gasol in terms of mobility, and his overall performance on both ends of the offense and defense exceeded people's expectations!
O'Neal used himself as a young Gasol and did his best in terms of doing the dirty work.

It has to be said that O'Neal is the most effective center against Yao Ming. Although he defended so-so in the first two games, he successfully consumed Yao Ming. In the third game, Yao Ming played the worst performance in this year's playoffs.

In short... the Suns have won three games in a row since the away game, leading the Lakers 3-0!
After the game, Kobe said in an interview: "I know you will think I'm crazy, but I still firmly believe that we can win, I firmly believe that we can win the championship..."

……

……

A domestic fan once joked that if Steve Nash, whom he admired, could make it to the finals, he would eat papa...

On June 6nd, after the Suns defeated the Lakers 2-4 to enter the Finals, the post was found out, and many fans were ready to eat a catty, offering hot cakes to this Nash fan...

On May 5, the Lakers finally defeated the Suns in an away game 31 to 111.

But on June 6, when the Suns arrived in Los Angeles again, they did not miss. They beat the Lakers by 2 to 122, 95 points, and advanced to the finals 27 to 4!
In addition to the fact that the Suns are really strong and have a higher winning percentage than the Spurs in the Western Conference this year, ranking the best in the Western Conference, the Lakers' drug-addicted combination has reached the finals in the past two seasons, which is also a big influence.

This year, the Lakers have reached the tie-break in the first two rounds in a row. It can be said that they are careless, but they can't quickly regain the advantage if they want to win after being lax like last season.

The Lakers themselves don't want consecutive tiebreakers, but this year they can't be as tight as they used to be, and most of the time they have to rely on Kobe, who is physically explosive.

Josh Smith's restraint on Gasol, Yao Ming's fatigue and O'Neal's late attack...

After the Lakers were eliminated, people analyzed many reasons why the Lakers lost.

But if you lose, you lose. Among the super guards of the 96 golden generation, one more person entered the finals!
On the other hand, the Eagles and Magic finished the game later.

5月30号，老鹰队第二个客场以121比95，以26分的分差干掉了魔术队。

刘莽拿到本赛季季后赛第二次40+，21投14中拿到47分，其中三分10中7……

Everyone thought that the Eagles were going to advance to the Finals first. Who knew that when they returned to Atlanta, the Eagles seemed to be celebrating Children’s Day. They made several inexplicable mistakes at the last moment, and the Magic took the opportunity to play a wave of 12-0. The Eagles did not score a point in the last 4 minutes and lost to the Magic 105-110 at home.

However, the gap in strength became more and more obvious. On June 6, the Eagles came to the Amway Arena again. Last night at the hotel, they saw that the Suns had advanced to the finals. Naturally, the Eagles could not lag behind!
107 to 79, the Magic team, who had a good touch in the first five games, only scored 79 points in this game!
The Eagles saw that the Magic had a mediocre feel, so they defended even harder. They specifically released the Magic's players who seemed to have a mediocre feel, and locked up the players who had a good feel at the beginning, causing the Magic to fall into a vicious circle.

This is the opportunity that the Eagles have been waiting for in the first five games. When the magic team has a particularly bad hand feeling, it can be targeted and used. This time it finally arrived!

Relying on this 28-point victory, the Eagles defeated the Magic 4-2 and joined the Suns in the finals!
On June 6th, the finals will be played in Atlanta!
……

The Eastern Conference finals are finally over. Raheem played very well in the playoffs this year. Although he lost, the Magic lost 2-4 to the Eagles and stopped the Eastern Conference finals. However, Raheem wanted to try the idea of ​​confronting Liu Mang on this stage, and it was finally completed.

Watching the other party celebrate reaching the Finals for five consecutive years, Carter asked Raheem next to him: "Do you regret leaving such a team? When I separated from Tracy, I still regret it now."

Raheem shook his head: "No, I already have a championship. When I played with Ace, I won the best team and the best defensive team. I also won the rebounding champion once. I have won everything I can get. I just want to prove my own strength. I want to challenge where the limit of my ability is."

In this Eastern Conference Finals, Raheem averaged 21 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He performed very well, ranking second in the Magic team, second only to Carter's average of 23 points per game, and second in the Magic team in rebounds, second only to Howard, third in the series, second only to Howard and Kwame Brown.

What can Raheem do if he loses? There is no other way. The opponent has Liu Mang who averaged 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game. This guy can also throw 10 of 7 three-pointers. What can Raheem do?

Just can't beat it!

"I really envy this kind of lucky person, who won the championship and ran out to pursue challenges..." Carter held back this sentence in his heart and didn't say it.

Except for people like Kobe and Liu Mang who scored more than 80 points, Carter has always had a high EQ.

But being able to reach the Eastern Conference finals, Carter feels very satisfied. He, Raheem, and Turkoglu are not particularly old, and Howard is thriving. Carter feels more hopeful than the 27-year-old Nets!

Seeing Howard who walked into the player tunnel very frustrated, Carter went up and put his arms around Howard's neck and said, "Boy, don't be discouraged, you are already great now, and the champion center opposite is almost no longer your opponent."

Howard has been waiting for someone to comfort him, but Raheem usually cares about him. Howard can honestly develop into a "blue collar" because of Raheem's gentle personality.

But seeing Liu Mang's words, Rahim's attention was only on Liu Mang, and Turkoglu was a dull Turk. If there was no Carter, Howard would probably be depressed and unhappy.

Fortunately, there is Carter!

Thinking of myself averaging 13 points and 16 rebounds in six games, and the opponent's high school center averaging 9 points and 12 rebounds per game... Howard finally smiled: "Vince, let's do it again next year! I will definitely become better next year!"

Carter is a little tired. Taking care of the baby is so troublesome. It is even more troublesome than Milicic, but only by taking good care of the baby can he have the hope of winning the championship!
