Chapter 1418 1417. The Poisonous Mouth Kissed by Satan
On April 4th, Liu Mang and his teammates continued their discussion after two simple tactical training sessions. This time they discussed some list matters, while waiting for the game between the Cavaliers and Wizards, the opener of this season's playoffs.
There are four games today, a four-group series between the Cavaliers and Wizards, Raptors and Magic, Lakers and Rockets, and Spurs and Suns.
Liu Mang and his teammates wanted to watch the Lakers game even more, and the Cavaliers knew they were going to beat the Wizards without even watching.
But the Hawks coaching staff told them to watch from Game [-].
The playoffs are here, and many lists were released yesterday, the 17th and 18th.
The least controversial is the Sports Illustrated ranking.
In the playoffs, Liu Mang ranked first, Duncan ranked second, Kobe ranked third, James fourth, Tracy McGrady fifth, Nowitzki sixth, Nash sixth, Garnett seventh, Yao Ming eighth, O'Neal ninth, and Raheem tenth.
In the team strength rankings, the defending champion Eagles rank first as usual, but they are tied for first place with the Mavericks.
The Lakers are second, the Cavaliers are third, the Spurs are fourth, the Bulls are fifth, the Suns are sixth, the Jazz are seventh, the Nuggets are eighth, and the Rockets are ninth.
In the top ten, except for the Eagles, Cavaliers, and Bulls, the other seven are all western teams...
In fact, this list is already very controversial, the star ranking is very strange, but ESPN and TNT are even more strange.
ESPN ranks James No.2 after Liu Wei, TNT ranks James ninth, and Kobe ranks first...
ESPN just wants to praise James. TNT seems to be able to make O'Neal unhappy. Kobe is the first, and O'Neal is unknown in the top ten.
At this stage, there are still many people who are superstitious about O'Neal's dominance, and feel that it will be different in the playoffs. Except for TNT's list, O'Neal is still in the top ten in all major lists, of course, they are all top ten.
However, Liu Mang thinks that not being in the top ten is not a big deal. Ginobili has not been in the top ten. Iverson, Carter, Anthony, Milicic, Bosh, Josh Howard, Chandler and others have not made it, but Liu Mang thinks that these guys will perform well in the playoffs.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the opening game between the Cavaliers and the Wizards, which was televised nationwide on ABC, began.
Starting at 05:30 p.m., the game between the Eastern Cavaliers and the Wizards will start first. At [-]:[-], the games between the Raptors and the Magic, and the Spurs and the Suns will start at the same time. Finally, the series opener between the Lakers and the Rockets will start at [-]:[-].
Late, for Atlanta in the east, and Los Angeles on the west coast, it is actually not too late for them to finish the game.
In the playoffs, there must be a live broadcast of the opening game of each round. As a professional athlete, watching videos or analyzing opponents is part of his job.
From [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., Liu Mang watched the game with his teammates in the arena, analyzing and researching while watching. Liu Mang and the coaching staff have one more thing to do, which is to analyze the Lakers, Spurs, and Cavaliers, to analyze in depth, and to see if the Lakers have anything else to analyze, and to make their exclusive programs for the Spurs and Cavaliers...
Of course, this is also the Hawks' preparations for the playoffs.
But watching games is always fun, not boring.
The Cavaliers and Wizards did not go as expected. Arenas was not pushed by James. Arenas played very well on his own. He scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 31 assists on 4 of 3 shots. Apart from being afraid of Liu Mang, Arenas, who was at his peak, played very well against many teams. Facing the alternating defenses of Larry Hughes, Snow, and James, Arenas played well.
It's just that the Wizards team only scored 69 points...
Arenas scored nearly half of the team alone.
The Cavaliers were on the contrary. James scored 15 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists. He didn't score many points, but he connected the whole team. Breakthrough points and assists soared. The Cavaliers scored 95 points!
95 to 69, the Cavaliers slaughtered the Wizards to get a good start to the playoffs.
The Cavaliers showed their strength. Snow and James' starting perimeter defensive combination, Larry Hughes and Newbell's high-quality defense after coming off the bench, Peja, Marshall, and Damon Jones' three-pointers, inside Chandler, Gooden, and Varejao's strong defense, made the Wizards only score 69 points.
The Raptors and Magic, and the Spurs and Suns series started together. The Eagles coaching staff chose to watch the Spurs and Suns series. The fourth and fifth Eastern Conference Raptors and Magic series were recorded and asked players to go back and watch them if they were interested.
And it just so happened that the opening game between the Lakers and the Rockets was also broadcast live on ABC TV, and the Magic and Raptors were on another TV station. How troublesome.
If the results of the series between the Cavaliers and the Wizards were expected, then the game between the Spurs and the Suns was completely unexpected!
In the first game, the Suns defeated the Spurs 111 to 106 away!
This can be said to be a big upset!
In the past few years, the Suns met the Spurs twice in the playoffs, and each time the Suns were beaten.
But this time, the Suns took the home court advantage in Game [-]!
尽管邓肯拿到33分16板，阿泰斯特拿到17分8板4抢断，帕克也拿到了15分11助攻，但太阳队那边，纳什拿到35分15助攻，约什-史密斯拿到7分15板，奥尼尔拿到29分6板，拉加-贝尔也拿到15分！
Among them, Nash and Raja Bell made 10 three-pointers together. Both of them made 6 of 5 three-pointers. Six of the three-pointers were made in the final quarter.
Liu Mang was terrified when the Suns reversed the Spurs aggressively in the last quarter.
If you want to talk about where the Spurs lost... it was Ginobili. Raja Bell defended Ginobili to 14 of 2 and only scored 8 points, locking Ginobili in the whole process.
Artest made Josh Smith 10-for-1. Josh-Smith scored 7 points only by free throws, but the Spurs had a more critical scorer locked up. Artest grabbed 5 offensive rebounds, and 6 points came from the second attack, but Ginobili's failure to make shots was also a problem...
Raja Bell's 4 three-pointers in the final quarter and locking Ginobili are indispensable!
The Raptors and Magic series played at the same time is another game.
The Magic beat the Raptors 89-81.
Liu Mang didn't see this game, but only watched the battle report on the computer, and got a general understanding of the game situation.
In the confrontation between Milicic and Howard, Howard was like meeting Olajuwon's David Robinson. Howard's statistics were not bad, with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, but his shooting percentage was extremely poor, only 40.00%...
Milicic scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks, defending Howard.
Milicic's rebounding is not top-notch, but his ability to prevent opponents from rebounding is very good.
But other positions ... the Raptors didn't have the advantage.
Raheem scored 40 points and 15 rebounds in the inside attack, and got the first 40+ in the playoffs this season. Turkoglu scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists.
Joe - Johnson scored 25 points is very good, Richard - Jefferson also had 19 points, but the Magic has Turkoglu's excellent organization, the advantage of the inside impact to play out.
Milicic stopped Howard, and there was Raheem!
After reading this data, Liu Mang feels that Grant Hill has indeed dragged down the Magic. There is no doubt about this, it is indeed so.
If Grant Hill leaves earlier, Turkoglu gets the starting position earlier, and the inside combination of Raheem and Howard can play better.
This is not to blame Grant Hill, everything is life.
But...after the three games, Liu Mang couldn't help but said, "The difference between the Eastern and Western games is too great! Why do I think the Western games are better?"
"That's right, the Spurs have scored 106 points. We have played two games in the Eastern Conference that have not scored more than [-] points." Jason Terry followed up.
"The east looks at defense, and the west looks at offense. Of course, offense is easier to attract fans. Many fans don't understand the charm of defense." Mike Woodson said with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
From Mike Woodson's tone, Liu Mang heard dissatisfaction and... contempt?
Maybe Mike Woodson looks down on fans who only like to attack, Liu Mang thinks so.
Some people feel that they like relatively niche things, and they have a sense of superiority.
This is not a bad thing, but a normal human psychology. Liu Mang has read a lot of psychology books in recent years, and he has no special views on Mike Woodson's psychology.
But at this time, coach Kruger interjected: "Fans prefer to watch the score. This is a sport where the team with more points wins. We also prefer to watch beautiful games, but what we can rely on to win, we will focus on that direction. We don't have to play according to our own preferences. The league is accelerating the pace to encourage offense. We have to prepare early."
In comparison, Liu Mang felt completely different when he heard Coach Kruger's words.
If we say that in the past few years, even when he won the first championship, Liu Mang felt that Coach Kruger was a coach with a "tactical library" and "strict discipline".
First-class on-the-spot command ability, super-top tactical learning and the ability to integrate it into the team, and a good ability to judge the future trend of the NBA, he is already a real famous coach!
After chatting about offense and defense, after a while, at eight o'clock, the series opener between the Lakers and the Rockets, which was broadcast live by US cable TV, came.
As Liu Mang and Jason Terry complained, the difference between the East and the West is really big.
The Lakers and Rockets directly launched a confrontation.
The most interesting thing, of course, is that Bynum wants to challenge Yao Ming.
It's a pity... If it's the regular season, Yao Ming has the usual "noble disease" mentality of the Lakers, and Bynum may try his best to score 20 points, but Yao Ming is very serious in the playoffs, let alone challenge Yao Ming. He only turned 11 last November, and now he is far behind the four major centers of the new generation.
Was blocked by Yao Ming 4 times!
It's more interesting for Kobe to single out Iguodala on the outside.
Kobe looked down on the Rockets, didn't defend well at all, and was fighting Iguodala.
The game was very good, Yao Ming capped Bynum on the inside, and he dunked directly under the basket, Kobe scored on the outside, Gasol even played a breakthrough and a one-stop layup to pay tribute to No. 24...
The rest of the Lakers, including Kobe Bryant and Gasol, were in trouble, but Yao Ming was the pinnacle of the sea. He steadily scored 20 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 assists, helping the Lakers beat the Rockets 122-114 and win their first playoff victory.
Kobe scored 41 points, surpassing Raheem's record of 40 points in a playoff game this season. Andre Iguodala also scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Gay scored several counterattacks and scored 19 points. The Rockets' highest score was actually their point guard Alston, who scored 31 points...
It's a pity that Bynum was not only guarded by Yao Ming, but also emotionally affected. When Yao Ming went to rest, he didn't play very well. He made 12 of 2 shots and only scored 6 points and 6 rebounds...
Playing in the playoffs for the first time, Bynum felt what the league's No. [-] center represented...
Every time he watches the Western Conference playoffs, Liu Mang feels that the Western Conference teams are really good. The Lakers are proud, but they play gorgeously. Although the Rockets are far inferior to their opponents, they are very hardworking. This is their tradition.
Liu Mang feels that the Rockets' problem is not with the players, but with the management...
Pau Gasol is out of defense, and the Rockets' starting power forward actually scored 0 points... Their starting power forward is called Chuck Hayes...
On the contrary, Mutombo performed well, scoring 4 points and 9 rebounds.
On the first day of the game, the Eagles gained quite a lot. Except for the Cavaliers who beat the Wizards, the other three games, the two games I watched were very exciting. The Spurs and the Suns played surprisingly.
After watching the game, it was almost eleven o'clock. Liu Mang said goodbye to his teammates and drove home.
Rest for one night, tomorrow, Liu Mang's sixth playoff trip is coming!
……
……
After the Super Bowl ends on the first Sunday in February, the U.S. has entered basketball season.
First NBA All-Star Weekend, then March Madness, then April, and now the NBA playoffs.
On the first day of the wonderful comeback battle between the Suns and the Spurs, the Lakers bullied the Rockets with a playful mentality. James led the team to crush Arenas, who was second in scoring.
On the second day, there are stars who are more anticipated than the first day to appear on the stage!
Liu Mang, Garnett, and Iverson will make their playoff appearances today. The five-star Jazz will have two shots against the Nuggets, and the Mavericks, whose regular season performance is close to the craziness of the Hawks in the past three years and even as crazy as the second regular season of the Hawks' second championship in two consecutive championships, will be on the stage.
Last night, the Internet was full of discussions about the Suns reversing the Spurs. Whether the strongest point guard and the strongest shooting guard of the 96 generation can be the core of the playoffs with a super lineup, the fans are full of expectations.
If the Suns and the Lakers can meet in the second round, it will definitely detonate the attention of the second round.
But today, the eyes of the fans have been attracted by the other four series.
Perhaps except for the five-star Jazz and the Nuggets, which are close in strength, the other three series are considered by fans and the media to be abusive games, but the Eagles and Bulls are highly popular. Although the Mavericks do not have the popularity of their players, their popularity is high, and the attention is no less than that of the first four rounds of the series yesterday.
……
In the morning, Liu Mang came to the Phillips Arena early with the little girl who was sticking to him and wanted to come to the arena to watch the training together.
"Dinah, how old are you? Why do you still eat ice cream? What if you gain weight?" Liu Mang felt that Levia would complain again when he returned home.
It’s almost summer, Atlanta’s summer comes earlier, and the weather is a bit hot. When I arrived at the arena, Little Lori, like in the past summer, asked for ice cream balls from the store in the arena.
"Just eat one..."
Liu Mang paid the money helplessly.
After paying the money, Liu Mang took the little Lolita to the employee aisle, and after leaving the small shop where he bought cold drinks, Liu Mang complained: "This is a broken arena, why are the things sold so expensive, two small balls cost 30 yuan!"
"They don't want the rent, they don't want the cost, uncle is so stingy." Little Loli gave Liu Mang a white look.
Liu Mang really... can't find a place to refute this little loli who has grown up...
The little loli played in the arena by herself, and when Liu Mang was free, she would go to Liu Mang to get bored for a while, and she would not delay Liu Mang when Liu Mang had something to do. Anyway, Liu Mang's wallet was finally taken away by this little loli, and she was always shopping, eating, and eating.
Liu Mang felt that this little loli didn't come to see him train, but came to feed him...
"Uncle, why are you so free? You are going to play the Pistons tonight. You are too relaxed." Little Lolita asked curiously.
Throughout the morning, the Eagles had only one practice session, which made little Lori wonder, but this has not been the case in the past few years.
"I can't help it. We haven't lost to the Pistons in the playoffs, so I really don't know what to pay attention to." Liu Mang looked helpless like me, which made Little Loli burst out laughing.
The Pistons, the day before yesterday, came to Atlanta on April 4. Their schedule ended on the 17th, and they came to Atlanta to prepare for the game after a day of rest.
The Eagles have made all the preparations they need to do, and the opponent's strength is just like that. There is really nothing more to pay attention to.
For an opponent who has abused an opponent in the playoffs four times in the past five years, the Hawks really don't know what to look for.
Chatted with Little Lolita, had lunch together, watched Little Lolita eat and drink spicy food with the coaching staff, Liu Mang could only eat boiled chicken breast with his teammates...
There was a tactical training session in the afternoon, and those who want to go home to rest, go home to rest, those who want to rest in the arena, rest in the arena, gather at dinner time at 08 p.m., and the Eagles game will last at 30:[-].
No way, the Eagles are the most popular team in China, and the Chinese market is the second largest in the NBA. Officials need to cooperate with the schedule of Chinese fans. The same is true for the Lakers game yesterday. Except that the Lakers are in the westernmost part of the United States, the time to cooperate with Chinese fans is also a key point.
At [-] p.m. Eastern time, the first game to be played is the series opener between the Mavericks in the Southwest Division and the Warriors at home.
After five o'clock, the Bulls played the Nets, the Jazz played the Nuggets at the same time, and finally the Eagles and the Pistons played.
The Mavericks have a good record and high popularity. They will take the lead today. The Eagles, as the defending champions, are the last to play in the eight-round series.
……
Holding the little loli in my arms, I took a nap in the lounge with the door closed. At 02:30, the staff knocked on the door to wake up Liu Mang and little loli. Liu mang had ordered him to call him at 02:30. He wanted to get up to watch the game between the Mavericks and the Warriors.
In today's series, the Eagles didn't pay much attention to it. The Nets and Bulls are far apart in strength. The Mavericks and Warriors seem to have a bigger gap in strength. Only the Nuggets and Jazz are close in strength, but these two teams... basically have no chance of entering the finals, so there is no arrangement to watch the game together today, and I have to play the game tonight.
Little Loli woke up early, took Liu Mang to the bathroom to wash his face, then turned on the TV in the lounge, waiting for the game to start.
"Uncle, why do we want to watch the game between the Mavericks and the Warriors? Isn't it good to go shopping?" Little Lolita didn't think this round of the series was worth watching at all. She watched the game between the Cavaliers and Wizards last night. It was extremely ugly. Except for James' sudden score, the Wizards hit iron and iron again, and the basket was almost as crooked as the basket in Los Angeles.
As Xiao Luoli said, apart from Liu Mang, no one else in the Eagles wanted to watch the game between the Mavericks and the Warriors. Everyone felt that this round of the series was definitely the most boring in the entire playoffs. The difference in strength was too huge.
There was a different light in Liu Mang's eyes, and he asked with a smile, "Dinah, who do you think can win between the Mavericks and the Warriors?"
"Who will win between the Mavericks and the Warriors? Uncle, are you insulting Dana's IQ? Of course it's the Mavericks. The Mavericks won 25 more games than the Warriors. And if the Mavericks didn't lose on purpose, the Warriors wouldn't even be able to make the playoffs." Little Lolita was very sure.
"Really? Dinah, let's make a bet." Liu Mang thought it would be more fun to gamble. What if the Mavericks win?
"What are you gambling?"
"Just bet on who will win between the Mavericks and the Warriors, bet... 100 yuan! I bet the Warriors will win."
"Uncle, are you going to give money to Dinah? Dinah bet with you!"
Little Lolita immediately took a hundred dollars from her backpack and came out.
...two hours and 21 minutes later...
"Uncle! Has your mouth been kissed by Satan?"
……
……
Although there are only three updates...but if it is most of the 2K Klan, it will have more words than their 2000-word chapter eight. Please ask for a monthly ticket. I still want to be in the top five for 12 consecutive months, thank you.
If not...recommendation tickets are fine too...
