After discussing strategies for the next game with McGrady and Jason Terry, Liu Mang returned to his room in the afternoon to study how to better perform against the opponent's defense.

In the evening, Liu Mang came to McGrady's room. Most of the Hawks players came and wanted to watch the fifth game between the Lakers and the Mavericks.

The Lakers returned to their home court in Los Angeles to play Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Mavericks. After the game started, the Mavericks almost gave up, feeling like they were giving up.

Liu Mang feels that Kobe is really lucky!

Sometimes NBA games, I really don’t know how to describe them. The head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson, is like a stupid young man who insists on playing star singles stubbornly. It is true that the Mavericks star singles are very effective. The Spurs were defeated by the Mavericks.

The star was killed in singles.

But the opponent is the Lakers. With Kobe and Yao Ming playing singles and splitting the ball, the open three-pointers of Fisher, Wang Zhizhi, Odom, Luke Walton and others can kill the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense is effective for the Spurs. In addition to superstar singles, the Spurs mostly play team basketball; the Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense is also very effective for the Hawks or Heat. The Heat's Wei

Germany has no three-pointers, and the offensive area is relatively limited. The Eagles' quick interspersed movements are also easily restricted by high-speed rotation defense. The Eagles rely on superstar ball to beat the Mavericks.

It just so happens that the Lakers are the team that is best at playing superstar ball, and the head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson, is being manipulated by Zen Master...

Liu Mang felt that Kobe was really lucky. The Spurs were defeated by the Mavericks and failed to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Although Kobe Bryant is also the Spurs' sufferer, the combination of Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming has just been formed for the first year. Popovich may have a way to do something against the two, but Johnson, a young general who is only 41 years old...

If the head coach of the Mavericks was Carlisle, it would definitely not be the same situation. It is a pity that Coach Carlisle is so outstanding. The Pacers signed a four-year contract with him. Coach Carlisle can still lead the Pacers when the Pacers are in such a miserable situation.

Entering the playoffs, the Birds had no reason and no desire to fire Carlisle.

96 to 88, the Lakers eliminated the Mavericks in five games and advanced to the finals!

…

The Lakers have reached the finals, and the pressure is on the Hawks and Heat.

Kobe said in the post-game interview after advancing to the Finals: "No matter who will be our opponent, it makes no difference. The final championship will be us. I expect anyone to be our opponent."

So arrogant!

Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady looked at Kobe's face during the interview after the game, and both wanted to step on this guy's face with their 48-yard feet.

Too noisy!

Is it amazing to be the first to reach the finals?

Liu Mang thought about it. In the Western Conference, he was able to advance to the finals without any problems. Although he was lucky and met three relatively easy opponents in a row, that was in the Western Conference. There are no weak teams in the Western Conference playoffs.

Strong.

"Ace, Jason, we have to win tomorrow's game!" McGrady was very unhappy with Kobe being so arrogant.

It's not about friendship or anything, it's just that I'm unhappy with Kobe.

When Tracy McGrady was in the Magic, he watched Kobe win the championship, advance for a team, and get one defense, which was enough for him. Now he finally hugs his thighs tightly. The guy has been withering for a year, and now he has the opportunity to show off again. I can't bear it.

ah!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry were in the same mood. For the first time in three years, an opponent was so arrogant!

…

The Eagles have nothing to do in the away game and can only prepare to play rough.

On the Heat's side, it's actually the same. All the advantages revolve around Wade, who must be double-teamed. Once Wade misses the mid-range shot, it's over. Everything is based on Wade's one-on-one opponent not giving him body.

Able to put the ball in when making contact.

Other than that, there is no better way to resolve the match.

Fortunately, Wade is in excellent form in this year's playoffs, and his mid-range shooting has always been accurate, especially since the start of the second round. So far, his mid-range shooting rate is as high as 51%. The more accurate you want, the more accurate you will be.

But now it's a crisis moment for the Heat.

The last time they returned to their home court, they were in danger of falling behind 0-2, but they successfully recovered the situation and relied on their home court advantage to tie 2-2, avoiding the danger of being defeated by the Eagles within 5 games.

But in Game 5, Jason Terry's divine outburst caught the Heat off guard and they couldn't stop him at all!

The explosion was so incredible, no matter how he defended it, Jason Terry could still score the ball.

Fortunately, they held on to their first two home games and dragged the game to their third home game.

Now the Heat's goal is to rely on their home court advantage to drag the series into a tiebreaker!

Both teams made every effort to prepare in the short preparation time before the game.

…

On June 3, the day came for Game 6 of the series between the Hawks and Heat.

In the morning, Liu Mang and his teammates did a new training together. After Mitaka discussed with the coaching staff, today's playing tactics were very clear. The training was a bit "retro" for the Eagles, and it felt like going back to two years ago.

a feeling of.

Although the lineup is not that suitable, it is almost the same. At that time, with Rahim as the internal and external defensive connection point and a rebounding leader, and a swingman with excellent inside singles to cooperate with Liu Mang, the Eagles played superstar ball that was best in the league.

The best thing is that although the lineup has changed a lot now, there is no better way.

After adjusting to the best condition possible, the Eagles players took a break in the afternoon. In the evening, Liu Mang took his family from the rented beach house to the American Airlines Center and started warming up.

After stretching and warming up on the elliptical machine, Liu Mang was making some preparations.

First, prepare for the worst. If you lose the sixth game, then you have to win the seventh game, and the special card "Atlanta's Fury" can be used.

This special card is a special card that can be used at any stage of his career. As long as the opponent wins three games in the series, Liu Mang can use it.

But after getting this special card, the Eagles have reached their first peak, which is the peak period of the first-generation three-eagle combination of Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry.

From then until now, no opponent has been able to drag them into a tiebreaker or lead them by a big score in the series.

It might come in handy this time.

But this is the worst-case scenario. Liu Mang is going to try his best to win the series in Game 6 and doesn't want to give the Lakers too long to prepare.
