From today on is the king

Chapter 378 376. Let's-go-Hawks
Without the slightest precaution, without the slightest hesitation, 3 to 1 just appeared.

The Eagles struggled for two games on the road, but after all, they couldn't stop the team led by Kidd, who was at his peak.

The Nets have seen through all the ways the Eagles play. Coach Scott may not be very good as the head coach, but it is still very strong to tap the strength of point guards and serve as defensive assistants for Kidd and Paul. With Coach Scott building a defensive system, Kidd can fully use his talent to organize offense and single defense.

Although the Eagles have three singles masters, they don't have superstars like O'Neal and Duncan who can directly crush the Nets.

The Nets won both games at home. Although Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry scored 60+ points in the two games together, when Liu Mang could not attack the basket as he did in the first half of the second game, the Nets defended Raheem tightly, and there were two defensive champions Kidd and Kittles on the outside. The Hawks were killed by the Nets cleanly.

With a big score of 1 to 3, the Eagles left the small town of Rutherford in despair.

……

After returning to Atlanta, the Eagles were very depressed. After a night's rest, the team started training again the next morning, but the morale of the Eagles was low and the training was in a poor state.

But only one person is still training hard, watching videos, preparing for the next game as if nothing happened.

The commentary team of Chaoting TV came to interview again.

This time it was Director Zhang and Su Qun who commented on the Eastern Conference finals. From the beginning, both of them were cheerful, but now they both feel heavy in their hearts.

When a top league has a player from his own country as the main force to reach the division finals, most basketball players in China pin their enthusiasm for basketball on Liu Wei.

Seeing the absent-minded training of most of the Nets, Zhang, a former professional athlete, understands very well.

Although Kidd was also very strong when he was in the Suns and Mavericks, he never gave people such an impression. If Kidd’s historical status is so high, he is often used as a candidate for discussion as the second point guard in history.

As a former professional athlete, Director Zhang saw that Kidd was simply too exaggerated. Beside him, Kenyon Martin could play like a superstar, and when Kenyon Martin was partnered with Marbury, he was regarded as the top pick in parallel imports.

It's true that a good point guard can change a team.

However, when Director Zhang came to Liu Mang, who was practicing shooting, under the leadership of the Eagles' press officer, he saw a picture that was very different from the overall atmosphere of the Eagles.

Liu Mang is actively investing in shooting training. He feels that he is still not accurate enough. If he is more accurate, if he can be as accurate as Curry, will he have a chance to win?

It’s not that Liu Mang has a big heart, but that he is very knowledgeable about current affairs. The term "junjie" who knows current affairs is not a derogatory term at first. He originally meant that one can become an outstanding character only by recognizing the trend of the times, but it was given another meaning in Hong Kong movies of that era.

Languages ​​are constantly being developed and revised, and there's nothing right or wrong about that.

Liu Mang's biggest advantage is that he knows the current affairs, can see the reality clearly, and then accept the reality.

It’s just that if you can’t beat it, what can you do? The tone is self-pity, so it’s better to work hard to improve yourself so that you have more chances to win.

Another group of Liu Mang's shooting practice was over, and he was about to tell Moron Willie that he was coming for a group, when he turned around and saw the press officer, two domestic commentators, a cameraman and others.

"Director Zhang, Teacher Su, you are here! Sorry, I didn't notice just now." Liu Mang greeted apologetically.

A staff member of the team had already notified about the interview at noon before, but I didn't expect that people would come before 11 o'clock.

"It's okay, it's okay, we interrupted your training." Director Zhang was still so energetic.

The press officer brought Liu Mang and Zhang to guide the team to the team conference room.

"Ace, let's start the interview directly! Regarding the current situation where the score is 1 to 3, do you think you have a chance to come back?" Director Zhang asked.

"Of course, we are only 1 to 3 behind, which means that we have not been eliminated, and we still have a chance to win, as long as we win the remaining three games." Liu Mang replied easily, "Maybe some people will think I am crazy, but I still firmly believe that we can win, we can come back..."

……

After an interview full of confidence and fighting spirit, Liu Mang fell lazily on the sofa.

It doesn't cost money to brag, you can brag if you can, and you can get 1000 superstar points, why not do it?
Liu Mang was a little depressed today. Before coming to training, he picked a daily task, a level 1 task, which was to tell the media that he would definitely win the series, and he could boast as much as he could. It happened that the imperial court had an exclusive interview, so he did the task smoothly.

Liu Mang is able to recognize the facts and knows that he has to work hard to have a chance to win.

But it doesn't mean he won't be disappointed or depressed!I just take those as motivation to train, but there must be some frustration, and seeing it doesn't mean that I won't be depressed.

If you lose the next game, you will be eliminated, so it is a last stand.

He has fought his back, so why do he care so much!
Liu Mang began to search in the system space, using whatever was available, otherwise it would be next season!

……

……

It's game day for the Eagles' fifth Eastern Conference finals game.

The first four games of the Lakers are also over. The Kings are really strong. After 1-1 at home, they also played 1-1 away. Now the Lakers and the Kings are tied 2-2. After the fifth game of the Eagles, the battle between the Lakers and the Kings is about to start.

Liu Mang entered the stadium and felt the sluggish atmosphere at the scene, ah hello, what about it!

Liu Mang really can't turn around the team's sluggish atmosphere. The atmosphere of the stadium fans and the atmosphere of the team's players complement each other and intensify. Liu Mang really can't turn it around.

"Look, special card: fury, the whole team is in a state of excitement, use it with caution." Liu Mang looked at this special card that seemed to be the last one that hadn't been used yet, and thought he should use it today!
As for the alienation card, Liu Mang used it against Kidd and coach Scott, but it didn't work at all.

The relationship between Kidd and Coach Scott was not good at first, but they were in a state of mutual use. Kidd used Coach Scott's defensive system, and Coach Scott used Kidd's personal ability, all relying on such a good record to support the superficial relationship. When the Nets started the 03-04 season with only a [-]% winning percentage and fell to eighth in the Eastern Conference, the relationship between the two broke down and Coach Scott was fired.

Some of these props really depend on the person using them.

"Use fury!"

"The host uses fury, and the Eagles team enters a state of excitement, and the time limit for this game."

"Agitated state: high enthusiasm, high fighting spirit, high anger, and physical fitness will increase to a certain extent depending on the physical condition. Side effects: there will be a depressed state for one week after use."

Depend on!
No wonder it is said to be used with caution, it turns out to be the team version of Manic Potion!Not only that, but also an enhanced version with enhanced side effects.

This thing is very suitable for the game of the tiebreaker, which is played when you lose!The heat is especially suitable for the tiebreaker of the finals!If you get it in the future, you must keep it as a spare!

The starting lineups of the two teams have not changed. The Eagles sent Dean Grove, Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.

Kidd, Kittles, Van Horn, Kenyon Martin, McCloch sent by the Nets.

After the game started, the Hawks won the jump ball for the first time in the Eastern Conference Finals. Ratliff yelled and sent the ball backfield when Kenyon Martin was spooked.

what are you doing!
The Nets looked at the Eagles players one by one, their eyes were bloodshot, did this group of people get bloodshot?
Kidd's defense is really not something he can deal with now, especially now that he has entered the heyday of the playoffs mode. Terry handed the ball to Raheem, and Raheem slammed to the basket. Kenyon Martin threw the ball into the basket in a daze.

The Nets were still very stable. After advancing, Kidd and Kenyon Martin picked and rolled. After the two attracted most of the defensive attention away, Kittles cut in and scored two points after Kenyon Martin drew Ratliff away.

The Nets did not relax because of their 3-1 lead. They have played better and better in the playoffs in the past two years.

If it was the previous few games, if the Eagles scored one goal and the opponent immediately returned another one, the Eagles players would feel very frustrated, but now they don’t feel any loss at all. Although they don’t know why, there is only one thought in their minds, fight!Succeed or benevolent!
The Nets ushered in the Eagles' fierce offense and defense.

Although this sluggish style of play made the Eagles' defense a bit too active, and they lost their calm defense around the basket in the past, but their calm defense was played by Kidd, and the offense was still weak, so it is not bad now, and because of the more active game, it feels like the first two games of the series.

The Eagles and the Nets tied for 14 at the start!
After the official timeout, the Nets gradually got used to the Hawks' aggressive style of play.

Strength is the last word. After the official suspension of the first quarter, the Eagles gradually fell into a disadvantage.

But no one gave up. Liu Mang didn’t have a chance outside, so he broke through the pick-and-roll. He ran into Kenyon Martin’s ferocious defense again and again, trying to draw fouls, and was knocked down again and again. Because the opponent was already used to Liu Mang’s fouls, Liu Mang’s success in making fouls was not high. Liu Mang still rushed to the basket hard.

Raheem also tried his best to hit the basket in singles or cut to the basket again and again in the defense surrounded by the opponent.

Adhering to the firm belief of determination, Terry faced the defensive Kittles again and again in singles.

Although the success rate of these defenses in which the Nets played more and more handy against the Hawks was very low, Ratliff was desperately blocking positions and Muhammad was desperately fighting for rebounds.

In the effect of fury, the unconvinced and unconvincing fire in the hearts of the Eagles players was burning!

Seeing his own players on the field playing desperately, even though they knew that the possibility of winning was very small, they were led by the Nets from the second half of the first quarter, and the point difference was opened up bit by bit. They were still playing desperately.
So what if you lose!Can come again next year!
By the fourth quarter, the Eagles were 51 points behind 71 to 20, but the Eagles players were still fighting hard on the court.

Watching Liu Mang fall again and again, watching the hand-to-hand battle between Raheem and Kenyon Martin continued, and watching Terry, a 1.8-meter-eight man trying to hit the offensive rebound, some fans at home have begun to cry.

Fans at the scene started chanting: "Let's-go-Hawks!"

"Let's-go-Hawks!"

"Let's-go-Hawks!"

"Let's-go-Hawks!"

"..."
