Not only Liu Mang saw this problem with low post scoring, but also the Eagles coaching staff.

Otherwise, David Lee would not have been allowed to make five shots, and Liu Mang or Jason Terry might have made one shot, and the situation would have been very different.

But I didn't expect that David Lee, who was okay against Duncan in isolation, would be so timid when it came to Garnett. He didn't dare to go to the basket while he was floating.

Liu Mang feels that Garnett is really restrained against white insiders like Gasol and David Lee. It seems that Garnett, who is skilled in skills, is more restrained. Weber also played against Garnett in the playoffs most of the time.

At a disadvantage, only Duncan, who is strong inside, and Nowitzki, who can drift outside the three-point line, can exceed Garnett's defensive range.

"Ace, you said you want me to plan your strategy for low singles?" Coach Kruger asked strangely.

"Yes, I want to play in low singles for a whole game!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth when he said it.

Liu Mang was a little reluctant to part with that star card...

However, if he loses the second game, it will be too unfavorable for Liu Mang. Dancing is secondary, and the negative buff of "Matador" is the key. Then he will have to be passive throughout the series.

There will also be big trouble at home.

Of course, winning the second game is also crucial!

"Okay, I'll help you set up the tactics..." Coach Kruger didn't think there was any difficulty in setting up the tactics. If the team had a low-post expert, they wouldn't have been so passive in the last game.

The tactics arranged for David Lee and Grant Hill are both great, but Grant Hill is old after all and can fight, but after two or three attacks like that, people will know how to defend. David Lee is a new force, but

Too soft.

However, although Liu Mang is good in the low post, coach Kruger finds it difficult to attack the Bulls' low post defense.

As for what Liu Mang said about playing low-post singles for a whole game, Coach Kruger just smiled.

We had a tactical meeting in the morning and had a nutritious meal together at noon. In the afternoon, Coach Kruger made some adjustments to the tactics used yesterday, and Liu Mang's new low-post singles tactics were also added.

There were a lot of shots yesterday, not because of poor tactics, but because role players couldn't make shots after fierce confrontations.

Liu Mang's shooting percentage of 8 out of 20 shots was not bad in the playoffs, but he had very few shots, and several of his 20 shots were forced.

The key point is to practice shooting more. Role players need to improve their shooting.

Rondo, Granger, McGrady, and Marion also have to study the Bulls' defensive positioning and rotations in the last game to look for better air-cutting opportunities. They were blocked too badly in the last game.

As for the defense...the Eagles' defense is very successful, but what needs to be improved is the success rate of the offense.

The training intensity is very high, but the time is very short, and there should not be too much consumption.

After three training sessions from two to four thirty, the coaching staff took the players back to the hotel.

Stop, rest, and reserve energy for tomorrow's game.

…

The Cavaliers lost!

106-107!

As James missed the mid-range shot passed to Larry Hughes at the last moment, the Cavaliers lost to the Magic at home and were robbed of the home court advantage by the Magic!

Raheem had 30 points, 22 rebounds and 3 assists, Howard had 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks, Turkoglu had 14 points and 14 assists, plus Nelson's 11 points and 6 assists, Arroyo scored 12 of 4 three-pointers in a single game.

Five players from the Magic team scored in double figures, helping the Magic narrowly beat the Cavaliers.

Although LeBron James scored 46 points on 20 of 35 shooting, 2 of 8 free throws became a fatal injury!

In the end, James passed the ball. Perhaps it can be said that he did not dare to throw it, but since Howard and Raheem had already blocked the shot in their faces, it is not an exaggeration to say that James passed it.

But they only lost by 1 point, and James missed 6 free throws alone. That was the key to losing!

As long as one or two more goals are scored, the course of the game will change greatly.

Peja only scored 17 points today under Raheem's defense, shooting 6 of 19, with a shooting percentage of only 31%.

Chandler only scored 5 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. Although he also limited Howard to 8 rebounds, it was difficult enough to guard Howard. He couldn't stop Raheem and was grabbed 22 rebounds by Raheem.

ball.

James had 46 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, setting a new personal playoff career scoring record, but lost his first home game.

Liu Mang, Xiao Loli and his teammates ate snacks and watched the game together, and expressed a moment of silence for James' experience.

James burst in, but he couldn't stop him, but after James burst in, Raheem or Ariza ignored James, leaving Howard alone to interfere under the basket, while others blocked the passing route between James and the outside.

Although James has a very high shooting percentage, James has always been so sudden, always taking shots in confrontations or trying to avoid taking shots, which is very energy-consuming. Even if he is an iron man who has averaged 40 minutes per game since his rookie season, he still can't carry it.

I couldn't resist this kind of consumption, and by the last few minutes, I couldn't make it any further.

"Ace, this is the defense you mentioned in "Details", LeBron is so pitiful..." McGrady sympathized with James so much.

In "Details of the Cavaliers", Liu Mang makes his team's method of defending James more specific. He describes the method of defending James when Josh Smith and Iguodala were there. The intercepted video data is also

Information about the time when the two were together.

At that time, James was not as strong as he is now. Facing this kind of defense, James at that time could not score 46 points.

However... James still can't do a better job with this kind of defense and can't connect his teammates together.

Previously, the Wizards did not have the strength to implement the strategy Liu Mang proposed to defend against James, but the Magic did.

Both Raheem and Ariza have both confrontation and mobility capabilities. Howard can play the role of Kwame Brown. Although he is not as solid as Kwame Brown in lower body strength and single defense, Howard is not bad either. He just focuses on focus and praise.

May Brown is different, but the effect of guarding James is almost the same.

When the rest of the Magic team has a chance to win, they actually fight harder than the Hawks against the Cavaliers. The Magic players do not have the same "winner" mentality as the Hawks. They will fight hard if they have the slightest chance, and will do anything they can do with confidence.

most.

"This is a spur. Tracy, what do you know? LeBron can only make progress after suffering. This is for his own good..." Liu Mang said very seriously...

However, the situation in this year's playoffs was really beyond Liu Mang's expectations.

I originally thought that the top matchup in the Western Conference would be the Lakers-horse matchup, but I didn’t expect it to be the OK matchup.

The Nuggets seemed to have a great chance of advancing. Iverson actually entered the Western Conference Finals immediately after arriving in the West. Liu Mang initially thought that the five-star Jazz would advance to the Western Conference Finals, but the point guard from the 2005 class was a mess.

Liu Mang estimates that this will greatly encourage Iverson to insist on changing his playing style.

After watching the game between the Magic and the Cavaliers, some teammates who came to Liu Mang's room to watch the game said hello and went back to the room after watching the game. Some teammates were going to bet and have fun.

Maddie helped clean up the coffee table, took a few bags of snacks, and left, making Liu Mang want to collect the money...

At this time, Liu Mang suddenly saw a person who should not have appeared in the post-match screen. The distant cousin of the guy who just took a few bags of things and left with Rahim hugged and laughed happily.

In reckless eyes...

…

…

second round!

May 5th, the second game of the series between the Hawks and Bulls!

Today is also the second game day of the series between the Nuggets and Warriors.

Liu Mang got up early today and came to the visiting team training ground at the United Center, focusing on practicing low-post footwork. After his teammates were due, they briefly practiced tactical movement, and then rested and discussed tactics.

The second game is still at 7:30 pm.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the NBA officially announced two more awards.

The Sixth Man of the Year award this season was won by Mavericks player Jamal Crawford.

This time the media is not so biased. Jamal Crawford averaged 20 points per game in the regular season, ranked first among substitute players, and was definitely the best sixth man.

However, Crawford could only receive the trophy at the lake. People who didn't know it saw so many people fishing together and thought it was the fishing competition championship trophy.

Most Improved Award, Josh Smith beat Andre Iguodala and Monta Ellis to win this award.

From averaging 8.6 points per game to averaging 22 points per game, Josh Smith's progress can be said to be leaps and bounds. Originally, the Eagles strengthened their strong points and did not blindly develop to be all-round. He has made great progress, and now he has

Nash and Diaw passed the ball to him and it was a matter of course that he took off.

Iguodala and Monta Ellis have also made great progress, but without Josh Smith, they can only suffer.

Josh Smith won the Most Improved Award, but it was the Eagles who were mentioned the most.

Boozer almost won this award back then. This time, among the top three vote-getters for the Most Improved Award, two were players from the Hawks.

"Talent Distribution Center" has become a new nickname given to the Eagles by Chinese fans...

…

"Uncle, can you win..." Little Loli leaned into Liu Mang's ear and asked.

On the day of the competition, Little Loli, who was with bodyguard Christine Wagner, finally spoke to Liu Mang, but she was not confident.

It is true that the media has not been optimistic about the Eagles in the past two days, and they feel that the Eagles' only chance is to drag the game into the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Little Loli is no longer a child of several years old, and has lost many of the whimsical words she used to have, but she still looks forward to winning an away game.

The little Loli also knows very well what it means to win an away game when the strength is even.

Liu Mang pinched the little Loli's face, put his face against it and said, "Of course, I will take you home!"

Let Christine Wagner be optimistic about the little lolita. The two girls and the two cubs are in the private room. It is not easy to get to the private room in the away games in the playoffs. Liu Mang himself wants... The Bulls will most likely not give it to them. This time the three
To be continued...
