Chapter 1207 1206. The King of the Western Conference Finals Is a Bit Coquettish

"Uncle, you are going to be a movie star!" Little Loli ran to the living room and asked Liu Mang after Schwartz left.

"Movie star?" Liu Mang felt strange about this term. In the past, he was always called a basketball player. Although he was also a star, it was not common to call an athlete a "star". If he was called, he would be a "sports star" or directly described as a "superstar".

Thinking about it, Liu Mang still finds it quite interesting. If he can create greatness, if there is a movie or a documentary to record his struggle, it seems to be a great thing...

Looking at the little girl with stars in her eyes, Liu Mang asked: "What's wrong, Dina, do you want to be a movie star?"

"No," the little girl refused decisively, "Dina wants to be a painter! It would be too cool if I were a movie star, the best basketball star among movie stars!"

"Dina, you said it very well, uncle will give it a try, after winning the championship this year, I will go to make a movie."

...

What Liu Mang wants is not to make a movie, he just wants to use this movie to test the waters. If the response is good, then he will make a long-term career documentary to record every moment of his NBA career. Anyway, now NBA videos are archived for every game, and various news are also archived. A long documentary can be made from the draft to the end of his NBA career.

There must be something left in the history of the NBA and in the history of sports.

In this era where video archives can be left behind, and video footage and pictures can be found decades or hundreds of years later, and the money earned is also high, Liu Mang feels that he can do this.

This is more meaningful than many things!

Not only meaningful, Liu Mang feels that this thing is really great!

In the evening, Liu Mang called Schwartz and briefly told him about his ideas and asked if this idea is feasible.

Schwartz felt strange. Did Liu Mang suddenly get it?

Schwartz couldn't ask for it!

For so many years, Liu Mang has not had many off-court activities with other superstars except for doing something from time to time. For Liu Mang's huge commercial value, he may not need to spend that time to do what he wants. He doesn't worry about endorsement fees.

But it is better to have it, so that his commercial value can be better developed and utilized.

Of course, it is still in the playoffs. Liu Mang just talked briefly with Schwartz about this matter, letting Schwartz know that he has plans in that regard and make some preparations first.

Liu Mang's current goal is to win three consecutive championships.

Only after winning three consecutive championships can you think about movies and documentaries.

Otherwise, doing those things will only lead to ridicule. Only when you succeed can you become more successful!

…

Liu Mang encountered some unexpected things and had some new ideas, but he quickly put them aside and focused on the things that needed to be accomplished.

After dinner, Liu Mang came to the Phillips Arena and watched the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks with the coaching staff and some teammates.

In the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks, more people are optimistic about the Mavericks in general.

They just defeated the Spurs, Nowitzki just scored 50 points in a single game, and the Mavericks lineup is relatively better. The starting lineup and substitutes are very strong.

But unexpectedly, the Lakers beat the Mavericks at home in the first game!

81 to 57 in three quarters, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 24 points in three quarters!

Kobe scored 40 points in three quarters. No matter who the Mavericks used, they couldn't defend Kobe. When double-teaming Kobe, Fisher, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi were all very accurate shooters, making the Mavericks dare not double-team, let alone the center. When O'Neal was there, Dampier, who claimed to be the second center in the West, never felt comfortable when he met Yao Ming. The first time Yao Ming scored in double digits and the first double-double in his career was when he played against Dampier, who was still in the Warriors in his rookie year. He played for 30 minutes, 6 shots and 6 scored 14 points and 17 rebounds. Dampier was getting worse and worse, and Yao Ming was getting stronger and stronger. The strength of the two was no longer on the same level.

Especially in the second round against the Suns, Yao Ming averaged 31 points per game. People expected Yao Ming to beat the big-mouthed Dampier in the second game, at least the drug-taking combination was powerful together.

Who would have thought that Yao Ming played for 22 minutes today and got 7 points and 5 rebounds, and he could sit on the sidelines to rest. It was useless to save energy for the last quarter. Kobe alone penetrated the Mavericks!

110 to 89, the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the Lakers won by 21 points!

Liu Mang watched the game and felt that the Lakers were in a bit of a state of explosion!

The Lakers won without too many tactical aspects, just Kobe scored 40 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in three quarters, and shot the Mavericks to death!

The king of the Western Conference Finals is a bit sassy!

…

After watching the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the next day, May 24, was another rest day. The Hawks launched a defensive training against the Heat today.

There is no problem with the offense, the main thing is defense. It can be predicted that in the next game, the Heat will definitely focus on using Wade's body hair whistle to make a fuss, instead of impromptu like the last game. This time there will definitely be sufficient preparation time.

The Hawks players and coaching staff brainstormed and imagined themselves as Wade. How would they play if they had that whistle, Wade's explosive breakthrough ability, excellent finishing ability at the basket, and good mid-range shooting ability? Use Liu Mang to replace Wade's role and simulate Wade's possible play style in training, while others try to defend.

But... I really can’t prevent it!

There's no way around this kind of thing. Wade is already difficult to defend, and O'Neal is at the basket to contain the inside and help defend. There are many things to consider.

The Eagles can only improve their defense against the Heat as much as possible.

The focus is still on defense!

…

On May 25, after two days of rest, the day came for the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Hawks and the Heat.

At 7:10 p.m., Liu Mang entered the stadium with his teammates.

The atmosphere on the Heat's side today gave the Hawks a very different feeling.

You can feel that the Heat want to fight!

Without the excitement they had when they first entered the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat players looked grim.

Players from both teams attach great importance to the second game. The Eagles want to defend the first two home games in the series and remain invincible. It doesn't matter even if they lose in the away game, they have the home court advantage.

The Heat definitely don't want the Hawks to win two consecutive home games to build up confidence. At the same time, they also want to win one away game to build up their own confidence.
