From Today it is the King of the Basketball

"Ace: I'm already thinking about the next round of opponents"

Liu Mang responded to the reporter's thoughts about his promotion after the game with the Bulls.

Liu Mang regretted that in this time and space, he led the team to squeeze the Magic out of the playoffs in the 2003 playoffs. McGrady failed to say this. This was only regarded as what he said to himself in 2003. The ridicule of the declaration of victory.

After the Hawks and Bulls ended this series of matches, the exclamation caused by the Warriors was no less than the Warriors eliminated the Mavericks.

Before the start of the second round, few people except the Eagles fans felt that the Eagles could win the Bulls.

Just like the 2003 playoffs, when the three-time defending champion Lakers met with the Spurs in the second round, they almost fell short of the Lakers.

Compared to the Hawks, they are less optimistic. The Lakers still had a good lineup. The core lineup of the third championship year has not changed. The Hawks have lost the best three-pointer on the NBA bench and the league's single defense. The most capable outside player, Rashid Wallace ’s rapid decline after 30 years of age, was seen as a boost, and the lack of a power forward who is most suitable for Garnett. Jason Terry this season Playing the worst performance since the new century, Tracy McGrady has been poorly defended before the start of the second round, far less motivated than in previous years ...

Except for the Hawks fans, not many people will feel how good a few major players of a team that has won three consecutive championships can play in the fourth year. This is also the veteran of McGrady and Jason Terry in the regular season. Not many people blame Hershey.

The Bulls have done everything they can. Kwame Brown averaged only 9 rebounds per game; Tracy McGrady's active offense is not good; Jason Terry occasionally has flash points but most of the time is pitted; Marion The new recruits have performed very well, but they are only limited to the outside. The score of the inside is limited, which is the case for the entire Eagles team. They are Garnett, Ben Wallace, Big Z, PJ Brown. The restriction is miserable; the backup lineup does not have the experience of the Bulls Nocioni, Duhon, Big Z, Malik Allen, Adrian Griffin, who are in their playing years ...

The Bulls did not perform badly throughout the entire series, but they were very good, especially their feel, and the field goal percentage was almost over 40%.

but……

Relying on Liu Mang's explosive performance again and again, the Hawks killed the Bulls 4-3!

The team can't score ...

Liu Mang averaged 31.6 points per game and scored 221 points in the entire series.

And Rohr Deng, who ranked second in this series, only had 22.4 points.

The Hawks' internal rebounds were sometimes frustrated. Liu Mang used mid-range singles to get the opponent's inside out, helping the board to help McGrady, Marion and other players with strong impact ability. Second, the defensive end is even better ...

With 31.6 points, 8.3 assists, 1.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 3 blocks per game, almost every game can play an important role on the defensive end!

Fans who have watched this series talk about why the Hawks can win, basically there is only one answer-Ace is too strong!

In this round of series, Liu Mang has lively convinced fans and the media!

The key point is 65 points in the second game and 38 points in the tiebreaker. When the score is only 20 points, basically there are about two steals per game, three to four blocks ...

Fans and the media's view of this round of the series-the Bulls guarded the Hawks, only Liu Mang can do nothing!

On May 19th, the second day of the Eagles and Bulls' tiebreaker game, which is the day of the Cavaliers and Magic tiebreaker games, Liu Mang's limelight still overwhelmed the controversial group of Cavaliers and Magic. Series.

No. 24 in the West said in an interview that when the star encounters a penalty that is in his favor, no matter who will choose to seize this opportunity, the player itself can not control whether this "good luck" will come When it comes to yourself, your opponent will be very unhappy when he encounters a favorable blow, but when he becomes that "good luck", no one will miss such an opportunity.

The referee's whistle leans towards himself, and of course LeBron James will seize this opportunity and drag the series into the tiebreaker.

Entering the tie-break, let the Cavaliers regain the hope of promotion.

But ... also let the Cavaliers 'opponents' mentality collapse ...

Just like the 2002 Western Conference Finals, when the Kings led 3-2, the referee's penalty in the sixth game suddenly became extremely beneficial to the Lakers, allowing the Lakers to rely on the whistle in the sixth game when the strength may not be as good as the opponent. Won the Kings by 4 points.

The Lakers scored 34 free throws in 40 games, O'Neal made 13 of 17 free throws, and the Lakers only won four points ...

This result made the Kings' mentality explode. In the seventh game, the referee did not blow the whistle. Instead, he played fairly. The Kings made seven free throws and the Lakers were almost the same. At the time of the table, the Kings, who had a stable free throw before, made less than 50% of their free throws. Peja, who performed well in the first six games, made 6 of 3 points ...

Mentality is very important for the performance of players. Whether it is complacency after winning the championship or an explosion of extreme depression, it will seriously affect the performance of players. Although players know that they should not be complacent or should not be excessively depressed, this is not the player ’s own control. Of course, in addition to Duncan ’s college specializing in psychology, but also self-taught guy who got a master ’s degree in psychology, it is difficult for others to complete self-adjustment.

The American academic community ... is estimated to be one of the most demanding countries in the world. Duncan got a master's degree in psychology by himself, which is enough to prove how strong he is in this aspect.

The Happy Beasts of the Magic and Tekoglu are not strong psychological players, but Rahim is irritable ...

In the tiebreaking game between the Magic and the Cavaliers, Rahim played four fouls on the back after halftime. In the third quarter, he played for two fouls because of too rough defense. Six fouls left the field.

This time it was really not that the referee was blowing too little. The angry Rahim shot the nosebleed of James who broke the layup. It was already good without being blown by the criminal.

Howard was made to play the game for 33 minutes. After elbowing LeBron James in the second half of the third quarter, he was sent off for a malicious foul.

Turkoglu was quiet. He averaged 17 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in the first four games. He played 41 minutes in the seventh game and only got 6 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds.

93 to 80, the Cavaliers won the round of the controversial series without much effort in addition to James being "sniped" several times.

Four division final teams are released!

After playing the Bulls, Liu Mang and his teammates did not leave Chicago immediately, but stayed in Chicago for an extra day, waiting for the next round of opponents to come out.

If it is the Magic, go back to Atlanta, if it is the Cavaliers, you have to go directly to Cleveland, the Eastern Conference will start on May 21.

Liu Mang watched the Cavaliers and Magic's tiebreaker in the hotel with his teammates and coaching staff.

Support ... As an old teammate, Jason Terry certainly has to take the lead in supporting Rahim.

However, the Magic eventually turned over.

Helpless, but helpless.

The most controversial is the fifth game. In both games, James's whistle basically helped the Cavaliers open the game. The Magic team has had a mentality problem since the sixth game.

Anyone who leads from three to one, the two sides missed 22 free throws, was forced to make the other chase into two to three, there will be mental problems, the sixth game is not dare to defend, the seventh game ... The mentality exploded completely.

For such a situation ... Liu Mang did not know how to express his emotions, nor did he call to comfort Rahim. Liu Mang knew that at this time, Rahim must be licking his wound in the corner, waiting for the opportunity to Respond in the future.

The next round of opponents came out. Liu Mang and his teammates set off from Chicago on the morning of the 20th to Cleveland.

In the Central Division, Chicago and Cleveland are less than ten minutes away from Atlanta to Miami and Orlando.

The Hawks are ready to work. They advance one day early and tomorrow will be the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Tonight, it will be the first game of the Western Conference finals.

At the hotel parking lot, Rondo, who had a bitter gourd face, had walked down the bus with a bitter face than usual.

"Why hang a bag around my neck? Wouldn't it be possible to carry it diagonally?" Rondo wondered.

In addition to carrying his own bag on the left, Rondo carried a bag of Liu Mang on the right, carrying a huge backpack of Liu Mang on the back, and a bag hanging around his neck ...

The backpack behind is Alexia's going to grab a tie-break in the Hawks. Knowing that Liu Mang may not return to Atlanta after the tie-breaker ~ www.readwn.com ~ prepared a lot of clothes changing, Rondo's right-hand backpack And the bag on the neck was Liu Mang went to buy a bunch of souvenirs last night ...

Of course Liu Mang will not be very happy now. He failed to play against Raheem on the top of the East. He is very sorry, so he chose to bully Rondo ...

When they arrived at the door of the hotel, the Hawks were surrounded by good journalists who were "ambushed" ... they were too late to call the security guards and were already surrounded.

The coaching staff and the press officer had no choice but to let reporters interview.

Of course, Liu Mang is the key target of the containment.

"Ace, what do you think of the Cavaliers reversing the Magic?"

A microphone reached Liu Mang's face again.

Liu Mang feels used to it ... these reporters are increasingly intimate contact ...

Liu Mang thought about it and said: "The Magic are great, Sharif is still young, he is an iron man, I believe his peak period can last for a long time, there are Howard and Turkoglu, and Trevor and outside pitchers, they With a very bright future, I think we might play in the playoffs next year.

Although it is a pity that I did not play against Sharif, who now has a strong team, but playing with LeBron also makes me very excited. LeBron is the best player in the league to break points. They have great picks and rolls. The center has several great pitchers. They made a lot of three-pointers in the last round, which made me hate. As you all know, I hate three-pointers the most. "

This answer, the reporter feels very sorry, and continued to ask: "Ais, this is your sixth consecutive year in the Eastern Conference finals, facing the Cavaliers led by LeBron James, you are confident that you can beat the Eastern Conference this season. ?"

"Confidence? When I started, I thought of the East as my personal territory. After I played, we haven't lost the playoffs."
