From today on is the king

Chapter 975. Chapter 974. The pressure is all on Popovich

The Eagles coaching staff didn't dare to relax at the moment before the end of the game. Fortunately, they finally caught up. It was too scary for the Spurs to score 25 points in a single quarter led by Ginobili in the final quarter.

Ginobili scored 28 points and Duncan had 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Ginobili is a monster, but monsters are always monsters. When the Eagles are playing in a better state, Ginobili has no choice but to let him score consecutive points at critical moments against Biao superstars.

The Eagles won the victory, Liu Mang got a triple-double, and he got a triple-double in the finals, but he was not the best player in the game.

The Man of the Match is Jason Terry!

Liu Mang's 20+10+12 is excellent, and McGrady's 19 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists are also good, but Jason Terry made 22 of 12 shots, 13 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 31 points. This is the key to winning this game. When Liu Mang and McGrady used their own threats to contain the defense, Jason Terry took on the heavy responsibility. Steadily throwing the ball is the key among the keys!

If Jason Terry can't score at this point, any tactics will be useless.

But Jason Terry was so irritable in the finals, scoring 22 points in 31 shots!
In the past, Liu Mang won a triple-double, which was earth-shattering every time, but this time he won it quietly.

The main reason is that among Liu Mang's assists, 5 were passed to Jason Terry, and Jason Terry made a shot. Jason Terry received 5 of Liu Mang's sudden pass from the depths!Every time the Spurs defended everyone else and Liu Mang to death, Jason Terry received the ball and made a shot, continuing the Eagles' tactical plan.

In addition, two of McGrady's 19 points were received by Liu Mang's pass and made direct shots without opening the defense. Liu Mang had 7 assists that were not made, and only 4 assists were passed to teammates in the inside and bottom corners. Therefore, Liu Mang's presence in organizing offense is not strong.

As for Liu Mang's rebounds, Liu Mang has 22 rebounds in double figures in the regular season this season, averaging a few rebounds per game.

At the end of the game, the analysis of the TV station also mentioned that Liu Mang's triple-double was a little watery. The MVP of the game given by the TV station was also Jason Terry, which was generally fair.

However, even though he didn't become the MVP of the game, and was interviewed by the three major TV stations in the United States and the Imperial TV after the game, Liu Mang was still very happy.

No matter how he got the triple-double, he got it anyway!
In the list of players who will get a triple-double in the finals in the future, there will be someone like Liu!
Liu Mang is even more happy to have Jason Terry as the sixth man, which is really great!

Jason Terry's long-range shot in this game made Liu Mang seem to see the 2011-year-old veteran who shot the Lakers and Heat to death in 34. It was too accurate, and there were only two free throws, and only one free throw was scored, which means he scored 1 points by shooting!Among them, six mid-range shots were hit!
In the final analysis, no matter how the tactics change, the key scoring position is still in the middle distance!
It's just that the Eagles played something Popovich didn't expect. It wasn't Liu Mang or McGrady, but Jason Terry to take on this role.

Leading 2-0, this time the situation has really stabilized.

It can be guaranteed that in the next three away games, they will be invincible. In this way, the coaching staff of the Eagles breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare for the away game.

If the three-game streak can win a game, then the Eagles will have a big advantage here, the last two home games!
Now the pressure is on Popovich's side.

……

The day after the second game was at noon on June 6st. After lunch, Liu Mang said goodbye to San Niu and drove to the airport with a light suitcase.

Liu Mang is a little regretful. It’s summer, and the suitcases have become smaller. Except for a suit that may be used in the press conference after winning the championship, the rest are razors, short-sleeved shorts, sneakers and other things. Thinking that Iguodala can’t let Iguodala carry more things to exercise his muscles, Liu Mang really feels regretful.

On the afternoon of the 1st, Liu Mang followed the Eagles to the Coca Villa Hotel in San Antonio, about three kilometers away from the University of Texas at San Antonio Business School.

Iguodala directly put Liu Mang's suitcase on his back, and walked briskly into the villa where they lived together with Liu Mang.

"Boss, this hotel is no worse than last year's hotel! The room is much bigger! The owner of this hotel is more generous than the owner of the hotel in Los Angeles." Iguodala took Liu Mang's suitcase into Liu Mang's room, and said after looking at the layout of the room.

"There are fewer people here, the land is much cheaper, the houses are also cheaper, and the cost of the hotel is even cheaper." Liu Mang replied casually.

"Boss, you know so much!" Iguodala said in admiration.

"...I said Andre, read more books when you have nothing to do, don't get a college diploma by then." Liu Mang really dislikes this guy who doesn't even understand basic common sense.

But it seems that most people in the NBA are like this.

"Hee hee... I will, and my mother also asked me to get my diploma early." Iguodala scratched his head and smiled.

"..." Liu Mang didn't know what to say, these black people, do you understand what my mother asked me to do, what my mother did...or what my grandmother asked me to do...

Liu Mang thinks about it, it seems that many of these black people were raised by single mothers or even grandmothers, and the facial paralysis of the Spurs seems to be in the same situation.

Putting this matter aside, some things can be figured out after careful consideration, but they are too far from my own life experience, so it is better not to communicate more about such things.

Liu Mang followed Iguodala out to see the villa they lived in. It was just him and Iguodala. There were only two bedrooms in total, but there were 6 rooms and 9 bathrooms, a small bar, a movie theater, a sauna room, a large bathtub, a swimming pool and a small garden. The area was larger than the four-room villa last year.

Last year, I booked the villa hotel in Beverly Hills, and this year I booked the largest villa hotel in San Antonio, and I may stay here for up to nine days.

Liu Wei feels that the stingy boss has done a good job in treating the players, and the bonuses are also generous. Usually the hotel is rented out on one floor and two floors, but now the hotel is directly booked out for the finals, probably because they have made a lot of money from these people in the past few years.

After hanging out with Iguodala for a while, Liu Mang found the coaching staff and went to the San Antonio Business School of the University of Texas to see the arena.

McGrady, Jason Terry, Rasheed Wallace, Korver, and Persson also followed, and made an appointment to practice shooting for a while.

When I arrived at the University of Texas, there were not many people except for a small number of students staying in the school. Yesterday, most schools in the United States were on holiday, and the University of Texas was also included.

"Jason, do you think Popovich will be pissed off?" Liu Mang couldn't help laughing as he looked at the empty arena and no one came to disturb him.

"Ace, you are too bad." Jason Terry suddenly thought of what happened to the Spurs to Atlanta.

The owner of the Spurs was reluctant to leave the hotel with his wallet, and only covered the first floor, so sometimes people held summer song and dance parties in the middle of the night, and it didn't stop until 12 o'clock when the police were on duty.

The school's gymnasium has always been trivial. Although it has not affected their normal training, there are always some things that affect their mood.

But when the Eagles arrived in San Antonio, they directly rented out the Villa Hotel and hired security patrols. As for the university gymnasium, most students left the school on the day of the holiday. Who would think of torturing the opponent during the holiday?
After teasing Popovich, Liu Mang and Jason Terry started training.

Everything is in order, the players' shooting practice, technical practice, the team's tactical training and team meetings to study the Spurs' style of play.

The Spurs are also devoting themselves to preparing for the game. Now it's the Spurs' turn to not lose a game, and their mentality has changed suddenly.

……

While the two teams were preparing for the battle, there was already an undercurrent in the league.

By June, it was not long before the end of the season. After the finals, some deals in the league could be carried out. At this time, some teams have already started to contact.

Or it's about draft picks, or it's about preparations for bad performance, or preparations for reinforcements.

Some veterans or powerful players whose contracts have expired also want to join some competitive teams and hit the championship.

The Eagles and Spurs are naturally the first choice teams in the East and West. They both have a complete core lineup and will definitely need reinforcements after this season.

In addition, there are some players who are not satisfied with the status quo and still have contracts. When they enter the last year of their contracts, they can take some initiative and start discussing things with the team management, or start planning with their agents.

There are also some rumors in the news, such as Payton wants to hug his thigh again and is choosing his next home. Mutombo performed well in the playoffs this year and wants a better contract, or joins a championship-level team. Interested in the Eagles and so on.

But the point is still in the finals. The Eagles lead the Spurs 2-0. Can they win the away game?
这种看起来不靠谱的事情，网上投票里选老鹰队4比0或者4比1拿到总冠军的人，加起来超过了总投票人数的90.00%。

Just as people expected it to be June 6rd, Liu Mang and the team came to the ATT Center, and the third game of the finals was about to start.

If you win, you will directly lock the championship!
