From today on is the king

Chapter 536
"Coach, we came here so early, what if the Bucks win?"

"Didn't I ask you that night? You said the Nets would win."

"...I'll just say it casually..."

"It's okay, the reporters already know that because of your suggestion, we will come here first and wait for the Nets."

Coach Kruger hummed a little tune and got on the bus.

Liu Mang is so sad, Coach Kruger is getting naughtier the older he gets!Well, this time the Bucks hated Xiaoye again!
Liu Mang has no choice but to carry this hatred on his back, so that if there are too many people who hate him, he will not be overwhelmed.

On May 5, which was the sixth game between the Nets and the Bucks, the match day when the Bucks played against the Nets at home, the Eagles left Philadelphia and came to New Jersey ahead of schedule, living in Jersey City, the nearest town to the home of the Nets, Rutherford.

As soon as this news came out, it overshadowed the pre-game news of the Nets and the Bucks. After investigation by the media, Liu Mang believed that the Nets would definitely eliminate the Bucks, and the Eagles came to New Jersey ahead of schedule.

Whether this matter will affect the fighting spirit of the Bucks, whether the Bucks will work hard or be hit, and whether the Nets will benefit from it or kill the Bucks in anger, the Eagles can't control it.

In fact, Coach Kruger didn't want to come to New Jersey so early, and Philadelphia is also very good, but Jersey City's Seaport Center Hotel can be booked for [-] dollars a night, while the Hilton Hotel in Philadelphia is [-]. Although the owner is generous, he also feels distressed!But Price can’t show stinginess in front of the players, and it’s hard to show the impression of grandeur. Price also wants to save face, so he only discussed with Coach Kruger which city to go to in advance, whether it’s Milwaukee or Jersey City, the prices are much cheaper than Philadelphia, the fifth largest city in the United States, especially Jersey City, which has a poor tourist market. It’s not as famous as Milwaukee.

Of course, if there is a slap in the face and the Bucks work hard to kill the Nets, there must be someone who is responsible, and this person is of course Liu Mang.

Moreover, anyway, it was a stumbling block for the opponent. The sad thing was the two potential opponents, and even if they didn't stumbling them, how friendly they would be to the Eagles. Payton tried his best to win the championship with the last time as the core.

Needless to say Kidd, the hostility between the Hawks and the Nets began last season.

However, the hotel industry in New Jersey is really sad. Compared to when the Eagles played against the 76ers, because of the relationship between Iverson and Liu Mang, some of them were not fans of the Eagles and 76ers, but fans of Iverson and Liu Mang. The hotels in Atlanta and Philadelphia were packed. The hotel in New Jersey was empty. Except for Eagles fans and simple Liu Mang fans, hundreds of people had booked in advance, and there was no guarantee. Scheduled, because it is possible that the next opponent of the Eagles is the Bucks.

Not many people come to New Jersey to watch the game. Even the locals in New Jersey have a weak sense of belonging to the Nets. In the 2009-2010 season, Yi Jianlian scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block in the peak season in the NBA. To the Russian boss Prokhorov.

This is the most important reason why the Nets are not valued by the government of New Jersey, and it is also the main reason why the Nets can't wait to move after changing a rich owner who is trying to make money.

New Jersey is too difficult to attract stars. It is an industrial port city with a per capita GDP of [-] US dollars and a per capita annual income of nearly [-] US dollars. However, the environment is terrible. It is not as attractive as Manhattan Beach, New Orleans Beach, and Miami Beach in Los Angeles. Stars are not willing to come here to play.

Especially the town of Rutherford, even though it was playing a series against the Bucks, in the previous fifth game, few hotels in the town of Rutherford were full of people. Most people would rather live in Jersey City and drive for two hours.

The Nets couldn't bring much income to New Jersey, and even the town of Rutherford couldn't bring much income, so after the Russian local tycoon bought the Nets, he immediately went to New York to apply for land and repair the arena.

Of course, even if they moved to New York, there was no improvement. The management operation was too bad. In the end, the Nets became a team owned by the Chinese owner. Ma’s brother Cai Chongxin bought half of the shares of the Nets.

Another reason why the Eagles management and coaching staff decided to come to New Jersey first is that it is close to Philadelphia, which is quite close, and it takes only half an hour to arrive by plane, which is convenient.

Sadly, Liu Mang took the blame again, and took the bus to the Harbor Hotel in Jersey City.

After resting at the hotel for a while, the Eagles players didn’t know what to do. Jersey City, the second largest port city in New Jersey, actually only has more than 20 people, except for the working people. The entertainment facilities are really hard to find. The four famous places here are Greenwell Industrial Park, Claremut Industrial Park, Montgomery Industrial Park and Liberty Industrial Park...all are industrial parks.

The teammates got together to play blackjack at one time, those who played billiards played billiards, and some bought computers to play games.

Liu Mang and Prince came to the gym and ran for half an hour, doing some exercises with equipment. Compared with gambling, Liu Mang prefers training and training. First of all, of course, it is to save money...

……

……

The night the Hawks came to New Jersey, the Nets challenged the Bucks in Milwaukee.

This time the entire Eagles team gathered to watch the live broadcast of the game. Although there was no national live broadcast, it was also a sad reminder, but at least there were regional live broadcasts in New Jersey and Wisconsin from the regional live broadcast professional Time Warner Cable, so the Eagles had the opportunity to watch the game.

This game is definitely the favorite type of game for technical and tactical fans. The two teams played very beautifully organized offense and defense. Payton organized the offense with the ball, and Kidd connected the teams with a pass.

The Bucks played with eight players, and the starting lineup has undergone major changes. Using the name of Alvin Johnson, a defensive pillar center with the same name as the Magician, who once averaged 11 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, mentioned the starting lineup to increase the success rate of positional warfare. With Payton and Cassell's dual point guard play, with long-range shooting expert Tim Thomas and 2000's No. 7 pick Desmond Mason with the best physical fitness, the main success rate.

On the Nets side, Kidd, Kittles, Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, and Jason Collins played a defensive lineup. Jefferson and Kenyon Martin flew on both wings, and Jason Collins and Kittles responded with one inside and one outside pick-and-roll.

Using Ray Allen to replace half of the Sonics starters and a large group of substitutes, the Bucks are really playing better and better. After winning the last game, Desmond Mason and the substitute Anthony Mason Jr. took turns to put pressure on Kenyon Martin. The offensive end rushed to the inside, and the defensive end prevented Kenyon Martin from approaching the basket. The results were not bad. Jason Collins watched Kenyon Martin being targeted but was unable to give much help. , There are a lot of small moves, the kind of up and down, and he has a good performance when defending Duncan and O'Neal, so he can be a stable starter for the Nets.

But Jason Collins couldn't stop the impact of Anthony Mason Jr. and Desmond Mason, and Martin-couldn't deal with these two truly unreliable forwards.

At this time, no one expected that Mutombo, who had just come back and played less than 10 minutes in the first few games, stood up and became a key turning point in the game.

Mutombo played when Jason Collins was fouled four times in the second half of the third quarter. He started to shake his fingers in the away game. He came up with a cap and came off the bench for three Anthony Masons. The little Anthony Mason was so scared that he forgot about the catch and hit the basket that the head coach George Calqian had instructed him to do, and ran to the outside to attack with the ball.
Although the extent of Mutombo's decline this year has surprised people, his deterrent power is still the same, especially when he came up with three consecutive blocks.The Bucks were so scared that they continued to shoot from the outside, with a mediocre shooting rate. They were caught by the Nets and counterattacked several times. After three quarters, they overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Momentum came to the Nets. The Nets were stronger in the first place. There was no chance for the Bucks to comeback. The Nets finally reversed the Bucks 109 to 100 in an away game. The Bucks were eliminated by a big score of 4 to 2, and the Nets advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

After the game, the Bucks fans did not hate the Nets that defeated them. The relationship between Payton and Kidd is well known in the world. They hated the Eagles who looked down on them who went to New Jersey early to wait, especially the Eagles' Ace Liu...

Although the general opinion of the media and fans is that the Nets can win the Bucks, it is the first time in NBA history that the team is directly sent to New Jersey to wait for the Nets to win the Bucks like Liu Mang.
When Liu Mang was watching the forum before going to bed at night, he saw the comments of the Bucks fans who were abusive and other teams teasing his poisonous mouth. He felt that if the Great Wall fell next time, he didn’t need to go to Meng Jiangnv, just go and catch him.

The Nets defeated the Bucks to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Eagles and Nets met in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year. This received much more attention than which team the Spurs would play in the Western Conference Finals next. Many Eagles fans came to Jersey City one after another. However, there were still not many willing to come to the scene to watch the game.

After the series between the Nets and the Bucks, the Mavericks and the Kings played a tiebreaker in the West. The Kings had already won the Tianwangshan battle, but before the start of the sixth game, Weber’s old knee injury recurred and he was unable to participate in the rest of the game. Therefore, the core of the Kings team became Peja, who was highly expected because he led the Kings to an impressive record of 20 wins and 15 losses during Weber’s absence of 5 games in the regular season.

However, sometimes expectations are too high, and the final outcome is really ugly. Peja was too weak at the critical moment. In the last two games, he made 40 of 12 shots. Then, because of the absence of Webber's restriction, Nowitzki on the opposite side made 30+ in two consecutive games and a 4% shooting rate.
When the Mavericks tied the score in Game [-], the schedule for the East and West finals had already been released.

5月25号是小牛和国王的抢七大战，5月27号，篮网队和老鹰队的东决将在新泽西开打，5月28号西决在圣安东尼奥开打。

For the Eagles, on the night of May 5, after seeing the Nets eliminate the Bucks, the next morning, they went to the basketball court on the Jersey City Campus of the University of Phoenix to start training early in the morning, preparing for the next game against the Nets!
