From today on is the king

Chapter 1578. 1577. Strength advantage
28投16中，其中三分球12中7，豪取48分6板13助攻！

In the first game, relying on Liu Mang's hurricane in the second quarter, the Eagles defeated the Suns 129 to 118 and defended their first home game!
The score in this finals is no one, the Eagles almost broke 130 points in a single game!

We all know that the Suns have little chance of being able to defend against Liu Wei, but not many people thought that the Suns made Liu Wei hit 28 of 16 shots in the first game. If Liu Wei missed a three-pointer at the buzzer with 23 seconds left in the game, the Suns stopped attacking after that, and the Eagles were embarrassed to steal.

Liu Mang's 48 points means that the Suns are completely unable to defend against him.

The 13 assists in a single game proved how smooth the Eagles' team offense was when Liu Mang performed well and created enough threats!

The playoff version of Liu Mang made the Suns players feel even scarier than meeting Liu Mang in the regular season!
Although the Suns also had three players scoring 20+ and 6 scoring in double figures, they couldn't hold back the Eagles' fierce attack led by Liu Mang 48+13!
……

Before the start of the finals, many fans and media were still very optimistic that the Suns could counterattack all the way to the end. After all, they defeated the Spurs and the Lakers to enter the finals, and the Eagles lost to the Lakers in the finals last year.

After all, the Eagles' opponents this time are not the Lakers and Spurs, and they don't have the innate advantage of public opinion that "represents the whole of America to crusade against you".

But after the first game of the finals, many fans discovered a logical bug.

The fact that the Suns can beat the Spurs and the Lakers in the playoffs this season...doesn't mean that the Suns are stronger than the Hawks.

It was true that the Eagles lost to the Lakers in the finals last year, but this year's regular season against the Spurs and the Lakers was a sweep!
And this year's regular season, the Suns were also swept by the Eagles.

The wind direction of public opinion changed suddenly, from "the Suns have a great chance to win the championship" to "the Suns have a chance to try to hit the championship".

A few words change, the meaning is very different.

However, the rhythm of the finals was discussed more in this year's finals!

The finals played by the Eagles and the Suns made people feel refreshed!
Occasionally watch this kind of finals, see the two teams soaring points on the final stage without any scruples... The fans feel that it is not a good feeling.

Regardless of other things, the scene is very beautiful!
And it's not just throwing three-pointers. Liu Mang made 5 three-pointers and scored 27 points in the first half, and scored 21 points in the second half, but only two of them were three-pointers.

Shots that use various techniques and methods to score within the three-point line still account for a much higher proportion of Liu Mang's shots than three-point shots.

With enough offensive skills, you can throw the ball in any position where you have a chance to make a shot, rather than just a gamble.

The first game of the Eagles basically showed Liu Mang’s personal skills, while the Suns played various pick-and-rolls without stopping halftime, explaining the art of pick-and-rolls. Seeing Josh Smith block people everywhere like a hard worker, doing dirty work non-stop.

Two years of three-point battles may be tiresome, but this kind of finals... Even if it is an offensive battle that does not conform to the tradition, fans will not feel tired!

……

After winning the first home game, the Eagles did not slack off. It was the last moment, and any time should be devoted to preparing for the next game.

Sleeping and resting is also preparing for battle, watching videos is also preparing for battle, researching and discussing is also preparing for battle...

When the outside world made a lot of speculation about the game style of this year's finals, which was very different from the finals in the past years, the day's rest quickly passed. On June 6, the second game of the finals between the Eagles and the Suns began.

Compared with the first game where the Suns just wanted to use their strength to try to win and see how the Eagles' strength is different, the Suns' goal in this game is much clearer, and they want to block the Eagles' outside line.

In the second game, the Suns chose to defend by blocking the line, but in this way, the inside line was empty!
The Suns' style of play is too contemptuous of the champion. Kwame Brown scored 33 points and 16 rebounds in a single game. Marion, McGrady, and Wade's air cuts were also very effective.

After Liu Mang scored 48 points in the first game, he faced the toughest defense in the second game. Liu Mang didn't want to be greedy and wanted to continue to collect statistics. He passed the ball when his teammates had the opportunity, and he was also running around to find opportunities.

In the second game, Liu Mang only scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, but the team won more!

125比104，老鹰队21分的分差大胜太阳队，将大比分打成了2比0！

In today's game, the Eagles scored a terrifying 71 points in the three-second zone!
On the contrary, because the Suns had to expand to defend the outside line, they consumed too much on the defensive end, their offensive efficiency declined, and they didn't even take care of the offense.

In this game, it can be said that the Suns had to expand their defense, so as to create more and better opportunities to pinch Liu Mang; it can also be said that Gentry made a bad decision, not only failed to defend the opponent, but also failed to play out the team's original advantages.

However, Suns star Charles Barkley pointed out sharply-this is the gap in strength!

Whatever the Suns do, the Eagles can catch it and counterattack.

But the Suns wanted to change their style of play and tried to make strange moves, not to mention the low success rate. Instead, they lost all their original advantages while trying to make strange moves!
For a while, people focused on the Eagles' special team system!
The most amazing system at the beginning of the regular season was the "Spurs system" named by Liu Mang, but later on, people found that the Eagles' system was even better!

……

After the two finals, there was a two-day break between home and away games between the second and third games. Liu Mang went to Phoenix with his teammates on June 6 the day after the second game.

This time, the players also brought their families to Phoenix City.

Although it may sound arrogant, the Eagles said in interviews that they want to win the championship away from home.

And the first two games cannot be said to have obvious advantages, at least it can be said that the Eagles are stronger in terms of decision-making and execution!
It's not that the Suns have no chance of a counterattack, it's just that Gentry is too young. When playing against the Spurs and Lakers, the Suns have the advantage in strength, and the problems in decision-making cannot be seen.

But when playing against the stronger Eagles, Gentry's flaws as a second-year head coach were exposed!
