972. Be the first!(1/2)
The psychological pressure Liu Mang puts on the Spurs is greater than before!
Originally, relying on Ginobili's magic, relying on Bunch Wells's showmanship, and relying on Duncan's stability, the Spurs and Hawks were evenly matched.
But Liu Mang's unexpected outburst left the Spurs completely helpless.
The stability that Duncan brought to the Spurs allowed the Spurs to face teams that were weaker than them and torture them like anything. But when they encountered a stalemate with them and one of them could explode, they suddenly stopped.
Already.
Like now, trailing by 15 points at halftime, the Spurs can't fight back and can't catch up! The point difference is too big! The opponent doesn't relax at all. It's crazy that they will relax in the finals.
Popovich was puzzled, why didn't the opponent feel proud of being the defending champion? Think about the group of mid-level players on his team who won the championship every time and then became arrogant.
, forcing the team to wait a year until their contract expires before they can be traded away or not exercise the team option to make room for recruiting veterans.
Found a way to beat the Spurs, the Eagles are just grinding!
In the second half, Liu Mang was beaten by the Spurs' omnipresent defense and the remaining half of Jordan's star card time was exhausted. However, although Liu Mang did not score in the first half of the third quarter, he was able to contain the defense on the court, even if Jordan
The expiration date of the star card had expired, but the opponent didn't know it. The opponent thought that Liu Mang had a big explosion today. His 23-point performance in the second quarter made the opponent dare not let go of him. He ran inside and attracted attention.
At this time, McGrady and Jason Terry took turns playing singles. Coach Kruger discovered that when playing the playoffs with the Spurs, forget about tactics and just use stars!
The Spurs also used three major stars to play in isolation.
To be honest, the Spurs' three major stars are in different positions and can adapt to the needs of various situations and replace singles players. This year's Spurs are not afraid of singles teams. When they played against the Suns, they faced Biao Nash and Stade.
Meyer won both.
But unable to withstand Liu Mang's defense, McGrady and Jason Terry had better opportunities to share the ball in singles.
The most critical thing is the 15-point difference. The Hawks make a fuss around the 15-point difference. The Spurs slow down and they slow down accordingly.
The game started from the half-time break, and suddenly the rhythm changed again. It was as slow as possible. It was so slow that the fans wanted to scratch the glass with their fingernails...
The fans at the scene expressed their calmness, and the fans in front of the TV who often watched the Eagles games were also very calm, but the fans of other teams who were watching the Eagles for the first time and wanted to watch the Spurs lose were too tortured to watch!
Just like the Spurs playing the Pistons in the 2004-05 season in the original time and space, it was so nerve-wracking to watch!
So boring!
The fans in front of the TV who had been watching the game since the beginning thought it was okay. 23 points in a single quarter was already worth the price of admission.
But many fans heard that Liu Mang scored 23 points in a single quarter in the first half, and temporarily bought the live broadcast to watch the game, and then... they wanted to vomit blood: I will never watch the Eagles game again! This kind of ugliness
Who wants to watch the defensive battle? But... what if there is another game? And what if I missed it again in the first half... Let's watch it, starting from the beginning.
Bar.
…
Liu Mang scored 31 points in the first half and only 10 points in the second half. Liu Mang's performance in the first and second half was completely different. In the second half, he almost relied on air cuts, rare catch-and-shoot jumpers and strong shots when his teammates were trying to pass the blame.
, scored 10 points in the half, and scored 40 points for his second time in the finals.
The Hawks only scored 40 points in the second half, but the Spurs only scored 46 points in the second half. The Hawks crushed the Spurs' suppressed pace to death. The slower the better, just be stable.
As for whether they are too rogue...should they be allowed to set the pace?
In the end, the Hawks defeated the Spurs at home 105-96 and won their first victory in the finals!
Liu Mang became the MVP of this game. He scored 41 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in 46 minutes of playing time. The league counted his block as a steal.
McGrady scored 29 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Jason Terry scored 15 points, and the three of them scored 85 points together!
Although Ginobili's outstanding performance on the Spurs scored 27 points, Duncan scored 20 points and 15 rebounds steadily as always, and Bunch Wells scored 18 points and 11 rebounds, the Spurs' "three
"Giant" is not as good as the Eagles' new version of "Three-Headed Eagle"!
The main thing is that Liu Mang, compared with his opponent Ginobili, defeated Ginobili!
Mainly in the second quarter, Liu Mang's performance in the first and second half was similar to Ginobili's. Mainly in the second quarter, Liu Mang completely suppressed Ginobili and helped the team win.
In the post-game interview, Liu Mang said: "I'm also very happy with 41 points, but it's not a big deal. O'Neal has won it 5 times in the finals, and Michael has won 6 times. The most important thing is to win. Let's start with
It's important to get a win."
Liu Mang ran to the training ground immediately after accepting the interview. Except for taking a break in the last two minutes of the third quarter, he played the remaining 46 minutes of the game, but it didn't matter. At the end of the game, he took a physical potion.
I ran to the training ground to reminisce about the feeling of working in the air.
The third-year Jordan's offense under the basket was so invincible. When Liu Mang made several layups in the game, he felt like he could pull off the lever as long as he thought of it.
Now Liu Mang is ready to relive that feeling.
Then, the staff at Phillips Arena found that they had to work overtime again. They respected Liu Mang's training attitude, but could this guy also practice more when playing away games? This kind of good thing cannot be exclusive...

"Uncle, it's agreed! Send Dinah to school tomorrow morning, and the day after tomorrow!" said the little Loli, holding on to her fighting eyelids.
"Yes, yes, I promise you everything. Go to bed now! It's almost 1 o'clock." Liu Mang said quickly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Uncle carries Dinah up, Dinah is so sleepy..."
That's it! Liu Mang helplessly carried the little Loli who fell asleep on the sofa and took her upstairs. Fortunately, she was wearing pajamas, otherwise she would have to wake her up before leaving.
After playing the first game, Liu Mang returned home. Levia and Alexia had already gone to bed. Alexia was able to sleep because she was pregnant, and Levia wanted to prevent Liu Mang from winning.
Doing something when you are excited is afraid of affecting Liu Mang's performance in the next competition, so he is in the abstinence period.
Only little Loli stayed awake. After Liu Mang got home at around 12 o'clock, she made an appointment with Liu Mang to take her to school in the morning and take her to school on the morning of the 30th to sign the holiday and other matters, and then went to bed.
.
After covering Dinah with the thin quilt, Liu Mang went back to the room and watched the news on the Internet for a while. It was really amazing. When he read the news, he felt like he had done something great.
Liu Mang led his team to defeat the Spurs, like a hero who saved the world. So many people were so happy after he won for the first time.
Fans from all over the world in major bars in Atlanta toasted to celebrate. The bar industry and the area with certain red lights were doing extremely well.
The Internet is a place that can bring together fans from all over the world. After Liu Mang maimed Bowen, he once again became a positive figure.
It was completely different from last year's finals when fans were trolling each other. It was so harmonious. Looking at those posts bragging about himself... Liu Mang was embarrassed to play the trumpet.
If it is normal, Liu Mang feels that it is normal for him to score 6 to 10 points in one quarter when playing against the Spurs, but it is not very possible to score 10 points in each quarter. He scored 40 points by playing with the Jordan star card.
The other party was caught off guard.
Liu Mang asked himself, if the opponent has a player who has been shooting from the outside and suddenly kills inside, and has the kind of performance that can be called the strongest finishing ability at the basket in history, Liu Mang feels that his side will also be beaten.
.
Therefore, Liu Mang did not become arrogant and arrogant, but took the time to reflect on that feeling.
However, the jumping and confrontation bonuses brought by the Jordan star card are a crucial part of that kind of play, and Liu Mang can't perform like that now.
But Liu Mang felt good about winning the first series, and the opponent would definitely defend against his breakthrough in the future.
Being targeted is not a bad thing. Being targeted means that the opponent's defense will definitely tilt towards him. Other aspects of defense will be more or less weakened. We also have McGrady and Jia on our side.
Terry can seize the opportunity. Kwame Brown and Mourning are also good at eating cakes under the basket and can interfere with the opponent's defense. Liu Mang feels that Jordan's star card is not in vain.
I also learned a little bit about the feeling when Jordan lays up. The only pity is that Jordan's early style of play relied too much on physical fitness. His ability to work in the air near the basket relied heavily on physical fitness.
…
Early the next morning, Liu Mang was woken up by the little Loli knocking on the door at six o'clock, and then he took the excited little Loli for a morning run together.
Life is still the same as before, and it has not changed because this is the finals. The praise from the outside world does not make Liu Mang get carried away. He knows that he has embarked on the road to the dynasty, and has reached the second stop of the road to the dynasty, but he still has
Without truly establishing a dynasty, he won't be lifted up by the praise of fans after 40 points in a Finals game.
Liu Mang knew that because the opponent was the Spurs, if he changed to another team, more than half of the fans would not be convinced by him. Only if he wins three consecutive championships like O'Neal and Jordan, will the fans be truly convinced.
Even if Magic won five championships in nine years in the 1980s, he failed to win three consecutive championships. There were many fans who were dissatisfied with him. If he did not win three consecutive championships, it would not be a dynasty after all.
Jordan is known as the first man in history, and O'Neal is regarded as the most dominant player in history. After three consecutive championships, they defeated their opponents and their fans. Even if they don't like them or even hate them, they all
I won't question their strength.
Of course, this argument seemed to be no longer valid when Adam Silva led the NBA... Even if a team won N consecutive championships back then, no one would believe them.
After running, cooking and eating breakfast, Liu Mang and Little Loli sat in the back seat of Christine Wagner's car and arrived at school together.
Liu Mang was forcibly dragged into the classroom by the little Lolita, and then he saw a bunch of people preparing photos, posters, basketballs, sneakers and other things for autographs.
"Hehe..." The little loli scratched her head and giggled as if she didn't know anything.
Liu Mang was speechless, he was tricked again!
However, Liu Mang understood the mentality of a 10-year-old girl who likes to show off. He did not question or act like a celebrity. He had to give his little girl face. Liu Mang spent half an hour signing autographs.
For a group photo, the teacher did not rush to greet the students when he came, but came up to Liu Mang to take a group photo. A female teacher took Liu Mang's hand and said how smart and well-behaved Dinah was...
Liu Mang felt like he had become a giant panda, being watched...
Also, is that little loli smart, well-behaved and obedient? Liu Mang looked at these unscrupulous teachers and didn’t know what to say. He just nodded and agreed to what the teacher said.
Finally at nine o'clock, class started, and Liu Mang was able to escape...
