: 1455. Unprecedented challenges

Except on the evening of the 31st, Liu Mang read the news. After that, he didn't watch the news anymore, so he worked with his teammates and coaching staff to study ways to deal with the Lakers.
Liu Mang didn't want to bother about the outside world.
Although public opinion has greatly appreciated his strength, he is not so optimistic about the Hawks' strength this season.
Most people even think that the Lakers will definitely get revenge this year.
This argument began to appear after the Lakers advanced to the finals on the evening of the 31st.
Optimistic about Liu Mang, not optimistic about the Eagles, such a complex public opinion, the Eagles coaching staff does not want to let the players fall into such a whirlpool of public opinion.
The Lakers also advanced, and the Hawks' concentration has also increased to the highest level, working hard to prepare for the finals.
Soon it was June 2nd. After the tactical discussions in the morning ended and a training session to adjust the tactics, the Hawks did not train.
In addition to the regular shooting training tomorrow morning on the game day, the next season is waiting for the finals to begin.
"83369169 rogue points, 470079 superstar points ..."
Liu Mang looked at the rogue value and superstar value in the system, and they were still much worse.
"At this stage, unless a superstar star card is drawn, it will not play any role in the game. It can only be used to experience the unique ability of some unique players in the usual game. Learn to learn more, draw more star cards, It's better to save the fruit and increase the upper limit of physical fitness ... "Liu Mang sighed at the thought.
Now Liu Mang has a very strong personal ability, and he does not need the help of the star card very much, but sometimes when he needs to break his own upper limit, it is not as convenient as when he was still weak.
Because Liu Mang is now the team's best player, and may even be the strongest player in active service.
"Lillard, Reed, Deron or Kidd, Durant, Bynum, James, Murphy, there are seven cards with more than 90 useful players, but the most powerful Durant is not Will be better than me ... "
Thinking of this, Liu Mang was a lot more emotional, and the of death who loves to drink bath water is not as strong as him, but he is more confident.
To the outside world and to his teammates, Liu Mang answered all questions in a relaxed tone, so as not to let his teammates feel pressured, and he looked like a man in the chest. In addition to the few words but the thoughtful Rondo ... Maybe McGrady also felt, but in From other people's perspective, Liu Mang has always been confident.
But the situation encountered this time is indeed very difficult!
Since summer, Liu Mang has been afraid of the Lakers this season.
From the lineup of Kobe Bryant's last two consecutive championships in Liu Mang's memory, Liu Mang can see that the Lakers, although initially optimistic but also highly questioned, have a super inside lineup that will not be as much as the previous Big Four. On the contrary, the problems may run smoothly.
The previous Big Four was mainly due to the addition of Payton. If there was no Payton, it was a small forward or an inside substitute. There were Kobe, Malone, O’Neal and a front player comparable to Payton ’s strength at that time. The Lakers will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Hawks.
And now the Lakers lineup, Kobe Gasol Odom Yao Ming, from Liu Mang's perception, this lineup will be a success. Kobe Gasol Odom is a very successful champion combination in Liu Mang's memory, And replaced the young version of Bynum with Yao Ming at the peak ...
Of course, like the original two consecutive championships in the time and space, Kobe, in addition to the four major stars of the Lakers, the talents of other players are not good, Barnes is very good, but it is not even as good as the original Ariza 0809 season and the peak of the 0910 season. Artest.
Kobe is younger, and Bynum is upgraded to Yao Ming. None of this is a problem.
The Lakers only ranked fourth in the league in the regular season. They were purely self-made. They committed aristocratic disease on both ends of the three days. From time to time, they came to a 20-point reversal behind halftime.
It looks like a scary lineup, but the Lakers can only rank fourth with the Hawks. Only because they have more wins in the Western Division than the Hawks in the Eastern Division, they are better than the Hawks in the rankings. Gao Yiming really made it himself.
However, the dominance displayed in the playoffs confirmed Liu Mang's conjecture. The Suns who turned the Spurs over, the Lakers won not be particularly difficult. Instead, the Lakers improved their status by one grade. The outbreak of the Nuggets can still be suppressed steadily.
Liu Mang has always hoped that the day when he played with the Lakers in the playoffs will come later, so that the team has more time to improve, but ... in order to get Wade, he lost some strength.
Now Liu Mang really has no confidence in beating the Lakers.
But ... after a long time, Liu Mang will relax a lot.
The public opinion of the outside world looked at the declining Hawks, but it made Liu Mang less pressure.
"Capability assessment 97;
Right hand: 97 three-pointers, 94 midrange shots, 95 layups;
Left hand: 88 three-pointers, 84 mid-range shots, 92 layups ... "
Looking at his ability evaluation, Liu Mang feels that no one except Novisky and Nash can compare with him in shooting. This is his advantage!
From the 29th to this morning, five days of preparation time, the team has as far as possible to combine the skills and tactics to achieve the best.
Liu Mang looked at the star cards he could use, and looked at his ability evaluation. There was not much worry, just do it!
"Got your mother, your son is the strongest in the world, no problem ... Don't be discouraged? How could it be lost ... Ok, okay, I won't be proud, am I the kind of person who is proud and arrogant? Do you want to come over in the summer to play? ... Are you and Dad going to travel in the Nordic summer to avoid the heat? Let ’s go together ... I ’ll get in the way? Mom! You ’re saying too much ... "
On the morning of June 3, 2007, in the evening at home, Liu Mang received a call from his mother, Ms. Tong Xiaoying, and after being sprinkled with dog food and dismissed, Liu Mang felt the "love" of her thick mother. Mom and Dad will be closed tomorrow morning. The breakfast room is closed to watch his game, and then hangs up.
The two old people rarely call Liu Mang, most of them call Alexia or Dina, do not want to disturb Liu Mang, Liu Mang ’s parents are ultimately traditional Chinese elders, and their support for their children ’s careers will overwhelm their miss. ... but this Liu Mang feels that both of them always disgust him ...
However, before the start of the finals, the worried mother still called Liu Mang, after all, the two old men became middle-aged players because of Liu Mang.
After Liu Mang made the phone call, Little Loli leaned into Liu Mang's arms and asked, "Uncle, what's the grandma calling?"
"It's nothing. It's just that two middle-aged couples who rekindled their passion at the age of 20 have to leave their sons and granddaughters to travel together." Liu Mang pinched Xiao Loli's face and said dissatisfiedly.
"What do you mean?" Little Loli didn't understand.
Liu Mang did not explain. After eating a little Lori tofu, he took a confused little Lolly to the Staples Center to prepare for the battle. The other two girls would not go until the afternoon. Liu Mang had to adapt to the basket ... …
Time: After 6 pm on June 3, 2007.
Location: Staples Center.
Event: The Los Angeles Lakers host the first game of the Atlanta Hawks finals.
After two days of closer preparation, Liu Mang and his teammates came to the Staples Center to challenge the Lakers away.
This is the first time Liu Mang has played in the finals in his career since the away game. It feels very different.
Fans of the aristocracy who came to the Staples Center in the finals were also crazy.
The enemies met and were extremely jealous, talking about the current situation of the two teams.
It is different from the Bulls' unilateral hatred for the Eagles, or the stage of the game.
The hatred accumulated in the finals is not comparable to the division playoffs.
Just like the Celtics defeated the Lakers in the sixties, but the Celtics fans still hated the Lakers. In the 1980s, the Lakers directly competed with the Celtics in the finals ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Lakers don't look at winning five championships in the 1980s. The Celtics only have three, but the Lakers and the Celtics only played twice, one win and one loss.
The history of the Lakers and the Celtics finals is even more abused, but the Celtics fans hate the Lakers, it seems that the Lakers fans hate the Celtics.
This kind of emotion is very complicated. To sum it up ... After winning the opponent many times on the strongest stage, losing to the opponent once is unacceptable. Because the previous crush, the opponent won once, it means the crush is broken, and the opponent has won. Opportunity.
And the opponent is the Lakers ... the Lakers are the original sin!
The Lakers have their pride, and the regional championship flag will not be hung over the stadium. Similarly, they won the Western Conference playoff trophy and the Western Conference playoff championship flag issued by the league. They did not hang on the ball. Above the pavilion, it is placed in the office of the head coach or president, general manager, not even their office at the Staples Center, but in their training ground.
Such arrogance made Liu Mang feel that the Lakers were hated by others.
Therefore, the boos and hatred of the fans on the scene, not only did not make the Hawks players timid, the Hawks players, including Liu Mang, are full of eagerness to defeat the Lakers.
Seeing the fighting spirit of the teammates ignited by the boos of the fans on the scene, Liu Mang originally intended to say something before the game, it seems that it is not necessary.
Looking at Kobe wearing armguards to his right arm, looking at Yao Ming, who had a hair band on his head, and looking at Gasol with a gasping face, and silly. Odom, who never stops but may become the most terrifying killer ...
Without much interaction, Liu Mang and Yao Ming just shook hands, and by 6:30, the two teams of players came to the field, Liu Mang felt that the unprecedented challenge of the finals began!
