: One thousand four hundred and sixty. Atlanta's rage


The flight from Los Angeles back to Atlanta plus the rest of the journey took a day. On June 8, the Eagles prepared for a day.
There is not much preparation time. The rest days between each of the first four games of this year's finals are two days.
but……
The Hawks back home did not hold the first home as expected.
Of course, in the finals, teammates will work hard.
Back at home, the performance of Liu Mang and McGrady in the second game also gave teammates confidence.
However, after returning to the home, it is inevitable that there will be some psychological relaxation due to returning to the home to find "dependence". The performance of Liu Mang and McGrady in the second game has also become the "reliance" of teammates ...
In the third game, the Hawks returned to play at home.
In the cheering of fans on the spot, Liu Mang performed well, 14 of 31 shots, 7 of 15 three-pointers, 47 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in a single game. McGrady saw Liu Mang feel good and took the initiative to attract defense. The task was to give Liu Mang the ball. When Liu Mang pulled out and had no good chance to attack the offensive rebound, McGrady grabbed three offensive rebounds. The defensive rebounds also tried their best to compete with Odom.
On 6 of 15, scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, McGrady played a triple-double in his fifth career finals.
but……
The Hawks returned to the first game at home and scored only 92 points!
Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady all scored 66 points, while the rest of the Eagles added up to 26 points!
Returning to the first game at home, the Eagles, in addition to the Maimang combination, other people's performance is not as good as the second game!
Although the Hawks defended well, limiting the Lakers to a minimum of 99 points since the Finals, the Hawks returned to home with only 92 points! It ’s useless to prevent it!
0 to 3!
After a lapse of 5 years, the finals once again showed a situation where the team fell behind 0-3. The last time the 2002 Nets entered this situation, before that, it was the first three games of the Magic in 1995 0-3. Behind, but the Magic team was even worse this time. The first two games of the Magic were at home and both lost.
The worst case that Liu Mang began to worry about at the beginning of the season appeared, even ... worse than the worst case he was originally worried about!
Liu Mang knows that there will be a lot of trouble after three consecutive championships. His state of decline, concentration, pride, and even the mentality that he has never thought about continuing to win the championship ...
The situation slipped and Jason Terry confirmed it, mainly tired.
The concentration has declined. Before McGrady and the Bulls played in the series, basically the entire season did not consider the issue of concentration. If you are interested, you can play it well. If you are not interested, just throw a vote. Anyway, the data around 2055 is handy.
Proud ... This is the collective performance of the Hawks.
I never thought about the mentality to continue to win the championship ... This appeared in the two newly added stars of Marion and Grant Hill.
As Grant Hill had planned before he joined, he joined in advance, just to better run in. This idea did not expect the championship to win this season at the beginning, and reached the finals beyond his expectations.
Marion is similar. He just wants to run in well and help the team win more games. As for the performance of the playoffs this season, Marion is very open. He will not worry about the future of the Hawks, but also Did not have particularly high expectations for this season.
From the beginning, Liu Mang did not expect anything from the beginning to the finals. Except McGrady, everyone else withered in the finals!
For the first and second grades, I do n’t want to say that, except for Granger who has a stable attitude, he did a good job when he was on the bench against Kobe. Anti-Kobe is to have the height and consciousness of McGrady, Grant Hill, Granger, etc. In the first and second grades ... Rondo has become the target of the opponent's defensive tactics, David Lee is less defensive than Swift, Gortat ... The finals will not let him experience, but let Mark Jackson go up to fight After a few minutes, it turned out to be useless.
After three games, Tracy McGrady was not so excited except for the first game. From the second game onwards, he became the strongest Hawks player when Liu Mang was targeted by the opponent.
3510 in the second game and 14 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in the third game, helping Liu Mang to score 47 points in a single game.
But others ...
Silence!
After the first home loss, the Eagles locker room was dead.
No one complained.
There was nothing to complain about at this time, and no one had the mood to complain about teammates.
0 to 3 behind, Liu Mang thought about the worst possibility is 1 to 3 behind, this is the worst possibility he thought before the start of the finals.
But I didn't expect that if I worked so hard, the team worked so hard to discuss, train, and struggle on the field, but it was 0 to 3 behind!
No one complained.
There was nothing to complain about at this time, and no one had the mood to complain about teammates.
Liu Mang didn't have much to complain about. Teammates were very hard in the game, both offensive and defensive were very good. The defense worked well after the third game, but the offensive end was in a poor state.
0 to 3 behind ... When this kind of thing happened in front of us, the players of the Hawks gradually collapsed, and their beliefs began to collapse ...
"Is the establishment of a dynasty really equaling the end of the dynasty?"
This idea appeared in the heads of all Hawks players.
Except for the 1960s, no team can surpass three consecutive championships, and three consecutive championships, after the Celtics eight consecutive championships to the present, only four times, no more, no four consecutive championships.
As strong as the OK combination, the second round of the second year after three consecutive championships was almost swept away.
When Jordan retired for the first time, some people said that he was afraid of losing in the fourth year after three consecutive championships, so he escaped. Of course, there are few people who say this, but more people think that Jordan may have eight consecutive championships without retiring. .
But everyone knows that eight consecutive championships are impossible. In the 1990s, the NBA team has gradually increased to 29 teams. There are 11 teams in the 60s. There are only a few games in the playoffs except the finals. In the game, the Celtics reached the finals in 19561966. The Lakers also entered the finals six times during that period, and the other four times were the Celtics opponents. It was the Eagles who stopped Kyle. It was the Hawks led by Bob Petit in the 19571958 season that won the tenth consecutive championship after winning the first championship in team history.
When the Celtics won eight consecutive championships, the teams that had the chance to win were the Celtics, Lakers, and Eagles. In that decade, the Celtics and the Eagles had two championships.
The 1990s have been very different. There have been many championship teams in the 1990s. It is even more different now. There are three major powers in the East and West.
Therefore, three consecutive championships equals climbing the peak and ending the peak. This is the consensus of the people.
The Eagles players wanted to fight at first.
The two away games were not too lost, but returned to the home game and lost the first game ...
This feeling ... basically confirms the previous uneasiness and the arguments of the fans and the media.
Behind 0 to 3, this means only ... Eliminate!
"The worst plan I've thought about long ago, I didn't expect it to be so bad ..." Liu Mang couldn't help but read out loud.
The Chinese that Liu Mang uses is not understood by others, but it attracts the attention of his teammates.
The coaching staff went out to deal with the media and did not allow the players to withstand the siege of the reporter.
Lose ... Everyone will lose, 0 to 3 behind, the Hawks have never thought about it, but the matter is up to now, protecting the players is the job of the coaching staff.
Not all coaches like to dump their pots at their players.
Disturb the quiet atmosphere in the locker room ... Teammates who were in a low state all looked at Liu Mang.
At this moment, Liu Mang, who was still affected by his teammate's low air pressure, was stared at by more than a dozen teammates, feeling ... so special ...
Being stared at by his teammates like this, Liu Mang could not feel the defeat and the discomfort with the current situation.
Let's ease the embarrassment!
Liu Mang said to his teammates: "Okay, take a shower and prepare to go back to sleep. We haven't been eliminated yet. Are you ready to find the Mavericks to hold a fishing game together?"
Everyone else heard Liu Mang's words in a half-dead low mood ...
"How is the boss so confident? 0 to 3!"
This is the idea that the rest of the Eagles heard from Liu Mang.
It is true that Liu Mang is not particularly confident now, but regarding the current situation, the mentality of the teammates who heard Liu Mang ’s words and the negative things just thought, the teammates looked at Liu Mang ’s normal expression, I feel confident.
"Boss, we are going to be eliminated ..." Kwame Brown couldn't help but blurt out.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mang didn't think there was any accident. The mind exploded first, and it was this guy.
"Hasn't this been eliminated yet?" When Liu Mang said this, his mood began to change again.
Indeed, in terms of public opinion, after winning three consecutive championships, they did not continue to win the championship for the fourth year ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Eagles will not bear too many negative voices, not to mention they reached the finals this season. .
But Liu Mang ... not reconciled!
This unwillingness is like losing to the Nets in a tie-break in 2003 ... and even more!
After winning the championship, Liu Mang did n’t make it to the finals. If he lost in the finals ...
Liu Mang is not reconciled!
Very unwilling!
Seeing the mood of teammates seems to have fluctuated, but because of Kwame Brown's words, not all are fluctuating in the good direction. The card that Liu Mang used to use before the finals must be used now.
Although the timing may be very poor, it is so bad that Liu Mang doesn't know whether it will work too well, and it may not be effective ...
However, Liu Mang is really unwilling! He wants to keep fighting!
Even the final result ...
Liu Mang opened the power of the heads of state and said in the tone of the speech: "Anyway, we all have to lose right, why should we be frustrated? Frustrated, we must also lose, and since we want to lose, why don't we let them win more difficult some?
We have lost the finals in the end, but they want to win the championship and have been crazy. It is estimated that they have already prepared champagne in the hotel to celebrate. Do you want to see them celebrate on our site?
And ... we have been champions for a long time. We have won three consecutive championships, and we ca n’t afford to lose. Do n’t look like a woman who has been dumped. There are two days. We will fight with them in the next game! "
