: 534. Only we can beat the Nets

"Jason, I heard that your prostitute was caught and beaten by your wife?"
"When did I go prostitute? Don't talk nonsense, Aes, when the coach heard that I had no playing time, it was hard to meet a weaker opponent ... wait, who was beaten by his wife?"
"I still don't admit it. You see that your forehead has a bag that can't stop the hair band. It must have been beaten by the sister-in-law."
"I said I didn't go to prostitute ... No! I wasn't beaten by my wife! When we came to Philadelphia together yesterday, I didn't have a forehead on my forehead. I hit the door this morning! I don't believe you call and ask your sister-in-law!"
"I understand, isn't it just a prostitute! It's normal to be caught and beaten by the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law will definitely not admit ..."
"I said I didn't have a sister-in-law ... No, I wasn't beaten by your sister-in-law! I went to get a cell phone, call your sister-in-law, and ask her yourself!"
Jason Terry rushed into the player channel.
Muhammad, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Liu Mang silently, "Aise, don't tease Jason."
"It's not boring!" Liu Mang smiled. "It's fun to tease Jason."
Muhammad was speechless. Recently, the coaching staff strictly prohibited this kid from being interviewed, especially after the 3-1 lead of the 76ers. Before the game, there were coaching staff, trainers, and teammates standing with him to prevent him from accepting. In the interview, I was afraid that he would provoke the opponent again, anger the opponent, and increase the difficulty of promotion in vain.
So Liu Mang is really boring.
Today is May 21, a great and perfect day, but unfortunately no one can confess, and this year there is no such "pseudo-festival".
On May 10th, the Hawks started the first game of the second round. The Hawks played very concentrated in the first game, and broke out on the road. Rahim was the main player to attack the inside and dragged the rhythm of the game into the battle.
The Hawks emphasized defense in this round of the series. Don't be brought into the offense by the 76ers.
When the coaching staff announced the general direction of this round of the series, Liu Mang felt weird. When to play the 76ers, I need to think about not being hand-in-hand.
But seeing the current lineup of the 76ers, and their game of averaging 104 points per game in the first round, Liu Mang is not surprised. If the 76ers bring them into their rhythm, it might be really dangerous. Now!
That's how the Hornets got stuck.
The 76ers arrived in the playoffs and turned into an offensive team. McLodge, the only seven-foot center, was beaten by the 76ers into the cold palace. They did not match the team's rhythm. They sent Iverson and Eric. -Pure offensive lineup of Snow, Kenny Thomas, Van Horn, Derek Coleman.
The 76ers lineup, as long as they are dragged into the position battle, in the case of Coleman and Van Horn have only mid-range shooting ability, as long as Iverson is defended, defending the basket, striking Iverson, preventing Kenny- With Thomas and Eric Snow holding a three-pointer from Van Horn, Coleman can selectively give him space, mainly to fend Iverson and the layup.
The Hawks' defensive strategy is to see the Hornets beat the 76ers in several games to do the best defensive way, mainly to force Iverson can not organize the team offensive.
If the 76ers want to play offense, Iverson's organizational offense will be able to play out. The 76ers will be a person with a real organizational ability. Although Snow has averaged 6 assists per game this season, his assists Almost all Iverson attracted a pinch and passed it to him. The opponent made it to his position. He then passed to the pitcher. Snow himself did not have the ability to attract a pinch and he was not allowed to shoot.
There was only one 76ers who organized the offense. Iverson, who averaged 44 minutes per game. If Iverson had no chance to organize the offense, the 76ers ’offense would return to its original form, and the 76ers’ defense had collapsed. Became an offensive team.
So the Hornets lost to the 76ers in the first two games, and also found a way to deal with the 76ers. Knowing who the 76ers can put and who must defend. This is the hardest part of the playoffs. The series is too long. , Weaker opponents can also find a way to win.
After the Hornets returned home, they killed the 76ers twice at home, proving that this defense is feasible.
The home advantage is very useful. It is also useful to advance first. With the home advantage, the visiting team will be less prepared, but advance first, you can see the weakness of the next opponent revealed in the previous one, and the 76ers have only a short two days. Time to prepare, not so much time to study.
While the Eagles took a 6-day break, they studied the 76ers and Hornets series and watched the live broadcast. The Hornets' defensive strategy was moved back. This defensive strategy was applied to the Hawks who defended much better than the Hornets. The effect is very good. In the first game, the two teams played against each other. The Hawks easily defeated the 76ers 99 to 87 and directly grabbed home advantage.
In the second game, the Hawks still wanted to follow suit, but Iverson ran away, scoring 51 points and 7 assists. In the fourth quarter, he scored 24 points in a quarter, only 1 point less than the Hawks team score. In the final quarter, the Hawks reversed 11 points, 102 to 99 to defend a home.
But Iverson could not run away. The Hawks returned to home and the Iverson's defense was stricter. At the same time, Rahim saw the same opponent's outbreak of reversal last time, Rahim Back at home, it broke out. In the third game, he scored 48 points. He almost got 50 points in his first postseason. Liu Mang delivered ammunition and handed the ball to Rahim. With 13 points and 10 assists, the Hawks beat the 76ers 25 points by 110 to 85 at home. The strength gap was most vividly displayed in this game.
In the fourth game, Iverson knew that his teammates were unreliable. This group of guys was old and soft, and the only Snow, still defending the strong attack and weak type, Iverson could only fight on his own. It was really true at first. Give the Hawks some pressure and start 12-6.
At this time, coach Kruger quickly replaced Jason Terry with Muhammad, Liu Mang and Jason Terry's double point guard combination, Rahim pushed to the power forward position, Liu Mang and Jia Sen-Terry, you shot one and I shot one, knocking out the tacit cooperation that the two found, and put down Iverson's explosive momentum.
The fourth game was the performance time of the Hawks in the backcourt. The two played the rest of the first quarter and the second and third quarters. Although Iverson scored 35 points in the third quarter, Liu Mang and Jason- Terry scored 44 points and 10 assists in three quarters and led the team to overtake the score. After three quarters, the Hawks led the 76ers with 22 points by 76 to 54. The 76ers surrendered in the last quarter. Iverson ’s 35 points in three quarters are indeed powerful, but he is now 'S teammates are really bad.
After the first four games, the Hawks led 3-1, continuing their strong performance.
In the fifth game, he came to Philadelphia again. This year the Hawks lost in the playoffs for the first time in this city. After arriving here, Raheem ran away again. For Philadelphia, he was still very unhappy in the heart, against the 76ers. Although his grievances have passed for many years, they still exist.
In the summer of 1996, Raheem was also one of the top picks. The original hottest was Duncan, but Duncan decided to study for another year after finishing his junior year, so Iverson, Marbury, Raheem, and Camby The four have become the top picks, and the little blacksmith may be considered. He is the best among all players in the trial training, but he is arguably only going to big cities such as Los Angeles, Boston, and Philadelphia, so in addition to the Lakers traded 13th overall. Choosing him, no team dared to choose, and the 76ers said that if they chose a high school student and did not choose Iverson, Marbury, Raheem, they would be joke, and did not choose Kobe.
When Raheem heard the 76ers say this, he looked forward to becoming the No. 1 pick, but the 76ers did not choose him, he fell to the third overall pick, and has always been full of resentment against the 76ers, but the 76ers were better than him. The team is much stronger, he has no chance of retaliation for the 76ers, this time the opportunity came!
Rahim decided to resolve the 76ers in the fifth away game. He didn't want to bring the game back to Atlanta. He went to the inside and went to the inside madly to continue killing.
Rahim, who is crazy, and the strong body close to Garnett, are willing to play inside. It is not necessary to play Van Horn, a thin pitcher. He scored 22 points in the first quarter. Liu Mang can only stay aside Cheer the flag to cheer, the boss asks for the ball, can only give it! And they played well, not only the offense was good, but the defense against Iverson also made Liu Mang a lot easier on the defensive end. Iverson was defended 8 in the first quarter and the Hawks led 29 to 13 in the first quarter 16 points, lay the advantage in one fell swoop.
In the second quarter, Rahim continued to run away, but began to pass the ball, because the 76ers began to shrink, Liu Mang and Jason Terry, who came off the bench, and Prince, the three shot from the outside. In the second and third quarters, the Man made a total of 10 three-pointers, breaking the 76ers.
After three quarters, the Hawks were 85 to 55, leading by 30 points. Now only Rahim is left on the field, with Dean Grove, Prince, Boozer, Kevin Willis playing on the field , Because Iverson refused to accept the defeat by the 76ers, he just came up with 30 points behind and narrowed the difference to 20 points, but after Rahim went up, the difference was stabilized, 20 points wandering, Hawks The team did not send the main idea to continue to expand the score, just stabilize the score.
Liu Mang watched forcibly rushing into the defensive circle between Rahim and Prince and Kevin Wesley, and it was difficult to win the foul, but then Rahim rushed to the basket. Can easily score or pass assists to pull back the point that Iverson finally recovered. Liu Mang was a little sorry. He failed to make a real duel with Iverson, who has a strong teammate. Now the strength of the two teams is too big. Now!
Fans on the scene couldn't bear to watch their own stars struggling like this. The scene was very quiet, and many fans have already left one after another.
This year's regular season can reach the fourth best record in the East, ranking fifth in the East. The 76ers are already very satisfied, and they have reached the second round. They can't be satisfied anymore. No one blames Iverson. What can we do with old and weak teammates? The opposing team is strong, just swept the Pistons, and it is in a strong momentum. It is a miracle to get a victory, or is it a 50+ scoring miracle that sometimes does not happen once a year in the playoffs ...
In the end, Iverson played the whole game, scoring 45 points on 18 of 44 shots, but not inferior to Rahim ’s comprehensive 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists. The Hawks beat the 76ers 112 to 90, 4 A big score of 1 eliminated the 76ers.
After being eliminated, Iverson went to the player channel alone, and no one paid attention.
Liu Mang did not comfort Iverson or something. First, the two are opponents, and then the opponent is Iverson. At this time, let Iverson lick the wound himself. Liu Mang can only expect a stronger next season. With a better team, Iverson can play against Iverson.
Although Iverson is powerful now, the team is too bad. Liu Mang feels too uncomfortable to play against the 76ers. There is no real feeling of contending with Iverson. Liu Mang averages 17 + 4 + in 5 games. 6. Normal performance, although Iverson averaged 37 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, he failed to cause much threat to Liu Mang. In addition to the strong 51 points in the second game, the Hawks were reversed once, or in the final quarter. At the regular time, the 76ers led by Iverson had no chance of resistance.
Liu Mang didn't know when he had the mentality to fight against these superstars, and he wanted to compete with the superstars in the same position, just like Carmelo Anthony, only when playing James, Kobe, Wade Just like the most fighting spirit, although Liu Mang did not just pick up a few superstars like Anthony, Liu Mang was more active when he was abusing vegetables, but I do n’t know when to start. Good showdown.
Only now, Liu Mang knows that he is not strong enough to lead the team to sweep the opponent like Rahim, he can only serve as a qualified point guard to deliver ammunition and open up space, and Iverson does not have Liu Mang ’s teammates. , And even few high-quality teammates.
Liu Mang can only comfort himself, regret is also a beauty ...
...
...
The Hawks took the lead in the Eastern Conference finals!
Why only take the lead in the Eastern Conference because the Spurs have advanced to the Western Conference the day before the Hawks eliminated the 76ers.
The Hawks eliminated 76ers, which is a popular and expected thing. Except that Iverson scored 51 points in the second runaway and gave people some surprises. Then there was no surprise. After the Hawks guarded two homes, people already knew the Hawks. Team advancement is a matter of time.
The Spurs actually eliminated the Lakers by 4 to 1. From the first game, they brought people a big surprise, or ... fright!
Because in the first two years, even if the Lakers had a worse record than the Spurs, the Lakers took advantage of the visiting team. In 2001, the Lakers won both away games and swept the Spurs 4-0. 2002 was the postseason last season. In the second round of the game, the Lakers still have a worse record than the Spurs, but the Lakers won the first game in San Antonio. After losing one game in the second game, the Lakers won all the next three games, 4 to 1 Spurs beat.
However, this time, after the Spurs defeated the Lakers in the first game with a Ginobili lore, it seemed that they had found a way to defeat the Lakers. The second home game was also guarded, and the Spurs scored in double figures. The team defeated the Lakers with a 114-95 victory. The Lakers were only OK. The two scored 30 points, but the other Lakers combined to get 35 points. The OK combination scored 19 of 36 shots. The defense is sometimes unable to catch the ball, but the others are not able to shoot, adding 12 of 42 shots, the gap between role players, this year is fully exposed, OK this two-game losing streak.
After returning to the home court, the Lakers want to work hard, they lost all away, they are still confident, and at the beginning played a fierce offensive, but the most pinnacle Duncan stunned the OK combination of offensive firepower From the first two games of defense to scoring, the Spurs also played defensively. The Spurs outscored the Lakers 93-89 and led 3-0.
Although the Lakers beat the Spurs 120 to 95 in the fourth game, it was like returning to the light. In the fifth game, they returned to the Spurs home. The Spurs played a suffocating defense, defeating the Lakers 85 to 79 Advance than 1!
After this round of the series, Duncan proved that he was worthy of the Lianzhuang MVP and officially sealed the power in the power forward position!
The Hawks and Spurs advanced to the division finals, and the remaining two series played very difficult.
The Kings and the Mavericks made a 2-2 draw. The Mavericks played really well in the second round of the playoffs this year. Although Nowitzki scored very restrictively, he averaged only 18 points per game, far behind Weber's 30 points, but Nowitzki rebounds exploded! 15 rebounds in the first game, 14 rebounds in the second game, a little less in the third game, only 10, but the fourth game scored 20 points and 21 rebounds, career career playoff double 20 for the first time!
Nowitzki never looked at 10+ rebounds per game, but his rebounding power has been good. He has had 6 doubles in his career so far. He has had three regular seasons this season. 21 rebounds and 33 points.
The other two, by coincidence, happened to be facing Weber, both of which were 26 points and 20 rebounds. Weber had no temper to grab rebounds.
It's because of Nowitzki's average of 18 points and 15 rebounds in the first four games. Weber's four games combined have only 16 rebounds. The Mavericks suppressed the king in rebounds and only in the overall strength. In a disadvantageous situation, the big score can be equalized to 2 to 2.
In the Eastern Conference, the Nets led the Bucks 3-2, starting with a 3-1 lead. The Bucks pulled it back to a city in the fifth game.
Kidd and Payton, the two defended each other into iron gods, both of them only hit more than 30% of the hit rate, all rely on the organization of attack to continue life, both of them averaged 9 assists per game, mentoring The two are playing the same game, except for rebounds!
Kidd relied on 8 rebounds per game, defending a lot of backcourt rebounds, did not give Drummond Mason this physical man grabbed too many offensive rebounds.
But the key to victory is in Tony Kukoc, a bull veteran who is regarded as a head start, and the Nets champion Kenyon Martin.
Kukoc scored at least 14 points per game, and in the fifth game he scored a career-high 31 points in the playoffs, turning Kenyon Martin into a sieve.
But Kenyon Martin played better overall, averaging 20 points and 11 rebounds, especially rebounds. Kenyon Martin rebounded in the playoffs this year, averaging 9 rebounds, especially in the second round, averaging 11 rebounds , Has become the key to the Nets' advantage.
...
This year's playoffs are really unexpected, and there are always unexpected points of view.
By this time, the Hawks, who were the first to advance to the second round, began to hurt again.
First of all, they do not have the league's first record as the Spurs. Whether they advance first or later, they are waiting at home.
The Hawks played away from the start. Originally, when the Hawks and the 76ers finished the fourth game, the Nets still led the Bucks 3-1. The Hawks think they can go to New Jersey if they win. Maybe the Nets The Bucks eliminated the Bucks to advance to the second round. Who knows, on the day before the Eagles' fifth game, the Bucks actually pulled back a game, and the Nets and Bucks series fell into again. Anxious.
This is not good. If the Nets won't win next game, it's really hard to say who will advance!
Of course, the Hawks hope that the Nets will be turned over, but the possibility is not high, but it is not impossible, so the Eagles coaching staff once again fell into anxiety.
In the evening after playing the 76ers, coach Kruger was finally willing to let go of the tight reins, so that the players could take a break and play in Philadelphia, the fifth largest city in the United States.
The main thing is that the Hawks do n’t have to go back to Atlanta tomorrow, and they do n’t even plan to go back without knowing that there are still two days or five days waiting for the next round. If the Nets are promoted the day after tomorrow, they can go directly New Jersey, feel the road ahead, this is very important, if the Bucks really dragged the Nets into the tie-break, the Hawks have to wait here for five days, which hurts.
The Eagles coaching staff is tangled in the meeting room. The Eagles coaching staff is centered on coach Kruger and Mike Woodson. Basically, the two things are discussed by the two. The coaching staff is still too few, a total of 5 Personally, one of them is a shooting coach. Most of the two are part-time scouts. Now it is said that the coaching staff is entangled. In fact, coach Kruger and Mike Woodson and Almond Hill are shooting coaches. three people.
"Mike, Almond, who do you think the Nets and Bucks can win?" Coach Kruger was so sad that with three consecutive rounds at home, he slowly waited for his opponents, which now feels too uncomfortable.
"..."
"..."
Hill and Mike Woodson looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
This year's playoffs are so strange, the Spurs can almost swept the Lakers, the Mavericks and the Kings played similar, you know that last year the Lakers played Spurs 4-1, the Kings also played 4-1.
If the Bucks really counterattacked the Nets this time, neither of them would be surprised.
"Shall we ask that guy?" Mike Woodson didn't want to recite the pot that might appear, and decisively flicked the pot before it appeared.
"You mean that guy?" Coach Kruger also thought of it.
"Yes!" Mike Woodson nodded decisively with the idea that dead friends don't die.
"Okay, Almond, you call him for a visit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Coach Kruger told him.
Hill is different from the two bad guys. He has a low position in the team. In addition to teaching shooting, he has basically no other job. The relationship with the players is not bad, but it is also not good. He did not get along with the players like Mike Woodson. So familiar, and without the status of coach Kruger, asked doubtfully: "Who to call?"
Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Although it was a little melancholy to advance in advance and wait for the opponent, it was a happy worry, melancholy and melancholy, the eagle team is in a good mood now.
Mike Woodson held his hands as if the air conditioner was too cold, and while shaking, he said, "Call him, he should sleep in the room."
Shivering-cold, sleeping when the players are out of the waves ... Hill burst into laughter and immediately took out his mobile phone to dial the phone ...
...
A few minutes later, a sleepy man in pajamas came to the suite where the coaching staff was.
"OH, coach, what did you call me to do so late? I don't know if I can't sleep well and not grow tall?" Liu Mang couldn't help but slandering and didn't go out to play, the three big men were in a room, based on age It's impossible to get the foundation done, it can't be done anymore.
"Aise, you are 20 years old and will not grow taller in theory," Mike Woodson smiled. "We want to ask you, Ace, who do you think the Nets and Bucks can advance to?"
Do you need to ask this broken question? Liu Mang answered without hesitation: "The Nets."
"Why? The Bucks won a game away and had a chance to reverse it." Coach Kruger asked curiously.
"Why is there any reason?" Liu Mang was awake just after falling asleep in the middle of the night. This broken question cares so much about what to do, but he still answered: "I don't believe the Nets will lose to the Bucks. Only the East can beat the Nets! "
