: One thousand four hundred fifty nine

Time: 7:30 pm, June 6, 2007,
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles.
Event: The Los Angeles Lakers host the Atlanta Hawks.
Keywords: Double 35 points.
The fighting spirit did not decline because of the first loss, but the decline in confidence is true.
Over the past two days, I focused on the discussion and worked hard to train the simulation ... I found that the overall strength gap between them and the Lakers ...
The insiders get the world, this sentence is still the key to the playoffs before Adam Silva changes the rules wildly.
A team that already has a super outside line gets a top-level inside line. Compared with a team that already has a super outside line, it gets a super outside line. The improved strength is very, very much.
Especially in the playoffs and finals.
This can be seen from the finals MVP in NBA history. Centers have the most MVPs in the finals. Before the 1990s, power forwards were basically drudgery, and there were few situations where they could get MVPs. Small forwards, shooting guards, ball control There are even fewer defenders. If it is not Magic, Jordan, and Liu Mang, there are very few MVPs in the finals. In fact, before the Magic and Jordan, there are not many outside players who take the regular season MVP.
Although I found some ways to try to deal with the Lakers, but confidence fell more ...
Moreover, public opinion from the outside world is also a problem. The Eagles coaching staff told players not to watch the news and do n’t care about the public opinion, but it will always be affected.
Especially after losing a game of public opinion, the Hawks players can't help but want to watch, just like Pandora's magic box.
"Only when you return to the home will you have a chance to support it"
This idea haunts most players in the Hawks.
This mentality is not an exception, but the norm. Just like the 2005 playoffs, the Spurs thought that way. Last year, the Lakers also had this idea. The disadvantaged team always wants to catch this. A kind of psychological comfort, to maintain fighting spirit, but the Spurs failed to support all three homes, and the Lakers went back to home and continued to lose.
Although this mentality still has fighting spirit, confidence is hard to avoid frustration.
This made Liu Mang and McGrady useless in the second game of Cyclonus.
Liu Mang made 11 of 22 shots and scored 35 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks with an efficient performance of 50%. McGrady scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 turnovers on 12 of 18 shots.
The performance of the two was good enough to burst, especially McGrady used Liu Mang ’s restraint force to repeatedly use Liu Mang as a defensive fire attraction to send several assists to his teammates. Although five assists were given to Liu Mang, McGrady still With five assists to help his teammates score well, and more than a 3-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, McGrady's performance burst today.
Of Liu Mang ’s four assists, three were given to McGrady.
But the Maimang combination has scored 70 points and 14 assists, but the Hawks only scored 106 points.
Jason Terry seems to have used up the magic in the playoffs in the past three years. This year, the regular season is not only played very general, but the playoffs are even more pitfalls.
This is the case for the best sixth person. It really makes people unable to understand why he is so pitted.
Jason Terry has been able to play steadily in the playoffs in the past few years, and it can burst out from time to time. It has been very good, but after three consecutive championships, it is inevitable to lose magic.
In this game, Liu Mang also used Lillard's star card in the second quarter. The role ... It must be said that the role is Lillard's mentality of Changtian.
This mentality has some differences from Liu Mang's wave. Liu Mang's wave, as well as reason, Lillard's wave is irrational at all, which is why Lillard suddenly pitted from time to time in the playoffs.
As for Lillard's front body change and the layup in the basket, the frequency of use is not high, and the effect in the playoffs is really not obvious.
The point is that the power forward's three-point shot is not as stable as last season's finals!
Facing the Lakers' inside line, Marion couldn't get in. Marion had three points, but it was okay to ask him to score one or two in one game. He was okay, but he was required to continuously shoot like a real pitcher ... Then he will not only be a top power forward. Marion has eight years of his career, only 12 games in at least 4 three-point games, and only 40 games in at least 3 three-point games. He made 5 three-pointers in the field. It was really difficult for him to use his three-pointer to defeat the opponent's long-term defense in the Alexander game of the Finals.
Granger or Tracy McGrady may play a better role in opening power, but defense is basically no defense ...
And Granger was not at his peak. He is still only a role player. There are open shots, but if he keeps shooting, he will not be very sure.
Open shooting is easy to say, but stable open shooting performance is not a pure shooter who specializes in this technology. Then there are only stars. The role players are role players because they do not have such a good grasp.
So ... this game became a two-man show for Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, both of them played explosive performances, but the Lakers side ... just one word-stable!
They don't consider too much, don't consider the data. They lost to the Hawks twice in the finals in the past three years. They don't have any ideas to compete with Liu Mang or McGrady.
The Hawks consciously prevented Gasol and Odom from rebounding in this game, but Yao Ming also stood up to protect the rebound.
The defense against Kobe is still very good. When the Lakers sent Barnes or Clayston, who were close to shooting or simply did not shoot, the Hawks also made good adjustments, and Several waves of counterattacks were successfully launched.
But there are also smart players on the Lakers side. Kobe, Gasol and Odom led the Hawks counterattack and maintained a 10-point lead in the last minute.
Although Liu Mang hit a three-point buzzer before the end of the game, he still lost by 7 points.
Kobe Bryant scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, 8 of 21, Yao Ming 14 points and 16 rebounds, Gasol 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Odom 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Radmanovic 14 points, Lakers The five scored in double figures. The Hawks led by the Maiman combination that broke out 113 to 106 Lectra. The Lakers held 2 to 0. The Lakers have kept two home games in a row!
The away game lost two games in a row, not unexpected.
Most players on the Hawks seem to accept this fact.
The excellent performance of the Maimang combination in the second game gave the Hawks players the confidence to win at home.
The human heart is so strange, like to find a trace of comfort from failure ...
This kind of psychology is not to say that it is all a bad thing. You have to find something to strengthen self-confidence and fighting spirit.
If you lose two away games in a row, there is no big problem, but if you lose in the third game, then the problem is even bigger.
The Hawks are next home for three consecutive games. If all three home wins, the pressure will become even bigger on the Lakers' side. It is the same as the 2005 Spurs. The Hawks won two games first. After losing two games, the fifth game became a foregone conclusion.
This is the most criticized part of the Finals schedule. A team with a good record won first two games is not a real advantage. It must be scored away to be considered an advantage.
It wasn't until Adam Silva came to power in early 2014 that he changed the system of the 2014 Finals and became a reasonable schedule of 22111, which is the same as the playoffs, expanding the advantage of a team with a good record.
Even after playing three away games, I can't see how a team with a good record has a home advantage. People have won 3 home games in three consecutive home games, and they didn't dare to lose at home.
This mentality is very common in the history of the NBA Finals, the Hawks naturally have it.
Even Liu Mang, he would expect this, and he knew that there must be such a new year.
Of course, if the Lakers have a home advantage in the finals and have the strength to win one away, it is an absolute advantage. The Hawks won the other two home games and are still 2 to 3 behind ...
Liu Mang did n’t think about using Durant ’s star card ...
If the Durant star card is used in a special way with a 100% fit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ According to Liu Mang's prediction, in order to achieve the Durant's shooting effect, Liu Mang should have a large Ascension, you can also experience the mentality of a super three-pointer under the rules of the future.
It may not be a good mentality to put it at this time, but it always has its merits.
But ... this is not a good time to use this star card.
The main reason is that the special use method is too much. If the two teams are evenly matched and played 2 to 2 level. In the fifth key battle, Liu Mang will do strange things and will be treated as weird.
But if you lose a game away, it ’s good not to affect the mentality of your teammates. In the case of 0 to 2 ... now Liu Mang is afraid to use it.
In the unlikely event that his teammates lose confidence in him, it will be even worse if he sees the team at a disadvantage in the finals after three consecutive championships.
Durant's star card may be able to play some amazing effects, but ... Durant can turn the super team alone, and he will not choose the most difficult path.

Not only did the Hawks players hold the idea of ​​holding three homes by returning to their homes at home, fans and the media saw the Hawks lost only 6 points in the second game, and they also held the same expectation.
Who wants to watch the one-sided finals?
The performance of Liu Mang and McGrady in the second game, in addition to giving teammates hope, also gave the fans expectations, as long as the Hawks have the third player to score in double figures, such as Jason Terry, Marion, Grant Hill, even There is an extra two open shots, it may not be the end of the second game.
