Although those who watch the NBA know that Yao Ming is far behind Liu Mang in terms of team leadership ability. His advantage is that he is one of the last two T-Rex centers in the NBA. Apart from O'Neal, he is obviously a power forward.

No one else can compete with Stoudemire's style of play.

But the followers of the trend in public opinion are usually not fans who watch the NBA, but most ordinary people who just follow the trend. Following the trend drives public opinion. The number of fans is incomparable to that of Yao Ming and Liu Mang, but the public opinion of following the trend is really that small.

Something happened.

The day after the first game, on June 7, the Eagles players prepared for the second game at Phillips Arena. Their confidence increased after winning the first game!

The Eagles' coaching staff mainly emphasizes not to be careless, and also to strengthen the areas where they already have advantages.

Mainly preparations from team meetings, not much training.

Since the NBA wants to compete with football in the large market of China, the finals will be played every other day, so physical fitness needs to be taken into consideration.

It’s been three consecutive years in the finals, which is very important.

There was a team meeting in the morning, a training session near noon, and another team meeting after lunch. After the meeting, the preparations for the game arranged by the team ended today, and the players were left to study how to deal with their matchups in the afternoon.

player of.

The coaching staff's tactics are very important, and so are the players' individual ideas. The difference in players' golf IQ and strength is reflected in their personal preparation.

Just like the series between the Hawks and the Heat, during regular time, the two teams compete tactically, and the stars solve problems at critical moments.

But that doesn’t mean that only the stars who solve problems at critical moments are the most important. The coach’s tactics are also very important. Just like the tactics of the two teams in the first half of the sixth game. If one side can’t keep up, it will collapse all of a sudden. Stars are the key

The role of time cannot be reflected, just like the Heat's big decision-making mistake in the third quarter.

As for the Eagles chasing points in the fourth quarter...

They are the Eagles. The boss is a slut, and he is the number one in the world. The whole team, including the coach, has followed the slut...

Liu Mang and McGrady discussed how to cooperate for a while, then took out their laptops to read the news.

It's fine when I watch the American news, but I feel depressed when I watch the domestic news. He played so well in the first game, but Yao Ming is being praised so much in China?

Liu Mang didn't pay attention before, and thought that the Lakers looked similar to the Heat. Wade had a body hair whistle. If you really want to say it, he wouldn't be much better than Kobe now. Counting Kobe's explosive scoring power and ability to play in a single game.

The ability to shoot 12 three-pointers should be about the same. Liu Mang believes that in the original time and space, if Wade of the Heat is replaced by Kobe, there is a high probability of directly sweeping the Mavericks... The premise is that Kobe and O'Neal, Payton do not fight, O'Neal

If I didn't go to the bathroom and cry, I would run to the Heat and still can't avoid this guy...

But after the first game, it became clear that the Lakers relied on three major stars to conquer the world, and they could still reach this point. The drug combination was a bit powerful.

It's just that Yao Ming actually stole the limelight! Liu Mang worked hard to get 38 points from McGrady's assists, but he was ignored!

"You're a shameless big guy. He doesn't show any kindness or justice at all. Don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Mang doesn't care about that, it's all Yao Ming's fault anyway!

Fuck him!

Time: June 8, 2006.

Location: Phillips Arena in Atlanta.

Event: Game 2 of the Finals between the Hawks and Lakers.

Unlike in the past few years, there is not so much preparation time for this year's finals. People are talking about how the Lakers can reach the finals, how terrible Kobe and Yao Ming's performance in the second round was, and Odom's average per game against the Suns.

The discussion about how much a triple-double looks like a Magician hasn't ended yet, the second game is here.

The Lakers responded urgently. The collapse in the first game was worse than Zen Master imagined, but there was no way. The knife was put on his neck, so he had to fight!

In the second game, Zen Master’s change was to strengthen his offense!

Strengthen your offense as much as possible!

If there is no other way, the soldiers will make dangerous moves and do the opposite!

Experts and media are all giving the Lakers advice on how to defend against Liu Mang.

There are many ways, but they are not applicable at all. Jackson has many methods. His defensive coaching ability is as strong as any. OK's first championship. During the Bulls dynasty, the defense of the team led by Jackson was among the top three in the league. If someone,

Will you be beaten so badly in the first game?

Isn’t there no one available for this?

Therefore, at the beginning of the second game, the Lakers' style of play surprised everyone, including the Hawks.

It's a pity that Zen Master has many things to worry about, such as Yao Ming's inability to run, Yao Ming's physical fitness, and the point guard's speed cannot keep up, and the forward pressure and defense are easily broken...

There are changes and ideas, but it does not mean that they will have good results. The first quarter was okay. The Lakers relied on Kobe and Yao Ming to play hard and scored 28 points in a single quarter. The Eagles did not feel like the first team.

The game was so crazy, and although 32 points in a single quarter was a headache, it was still within the acceptable range.

The Lakers trailed the Hawks by 4 points 28-32 in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, Yao Ming took a break for a few minutes after playing the entire first quarter. The Eagles went on a 14-6 run... and suddenly opened the point difference to 12 points...

There is a big difference between Kobe with Yao Ming and Kobe without Yao Ming. One can make Kobe enter the finals, and the other can get out of the first round...

Generally speaking, Jackson's layout in the second game was correct, using strengths and avoiding weaknesses, but Yao Ming's physical fitness limited the Lakers' strategic goal of clenching the score and giving Kobe Bryant a critical moment.

The Lakers lost the second game as fans expected.

Yao Ming played 33 minutes and got 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. His passing ability was demonstrated. Kobe Bryant scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. Odom scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Although Odom's performance was not good, Kobe Bryant's performance in Yao Ming's

When the space was opened, the rebounds were protected very well, and he also coordinated the offense with Yao Ming and Odom.

After all, he was the little blacksmith who shot 725% from the field but grabbed 15 rebounds in the Finals.

However, Liu Mang scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, McGrady had 16 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, Korver set a new career high in the playoffs with 20 points, and Jason Terry scored a steady 18 points, especially McGrady's 14 points.

A rebound. When Yao Ming prevented Kwame Brown from grabbing rebounds and Kobe was actively fighting for rebounds, McGrady relied on his height and hands to defeat Kobe at the rebound. When Liu Mang needed to focus on scoring and could not take into account rebounds,

When Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace combined for only 10 rebounds, McGrady played a key role in grabbing rebounds with joy!

One or two rebounds may not seem so important, but when the whole game is over, the effect is obvious!

122 to 109, even though the Lakers made dangerous moves, the Eagles still firmly grasped the advantage. The Lakers made strange moves, and the Eagles also relied on McGrady's comprehensiveness to offset them!

After the second game, the result did not surprise the fans.
Chapter completed!
