Chapter 1215 1214. Enviable Team Culture

Having good teammates means you can do whatever you want!

In terms of tactics, facing Dwyane Wade, who is almost as unstoppable as the last four games of the 2006 Finals in the original time and space, any defense is useless.

The Hawks' defense has already restrained the Heat very much, perhaps even more than the high-speed rotation defense of the Mavericks in 2006 in the original time and space.

But from the Mavericks being swept four games in a row, and the Hawks losing two games in a row at the Heat's home court, Liu Mang understood a little.

First of all, Pat Riley's coaching ability is excellent, and it is definitely the level of Popovich who did not completely rely on Duncan in the later period. After all, he is a super coach who opened the Showtime era and the Iron Blood era.

In addition to Wade's magical whistle, although it is only Wade's whistle, Pat Riley has the feasibility of using Wade as the real Jordan!

After five games of tactics and defense against the Heat, Liu Mang was sure of one thing...

Tactics are good enough, and if they can't be defended, they can't be defended. If the defensive tactics were so good, O'Neal wouldn't have won three consecutive FMVPs, and the Mavericks wouldn't have been overturned by Wade "single-handedly".

Superstars can't be stopped!

Just rely on strength!

In the first game, the three eagles scored 80 points together, and in the second game, Liu Mang scored 53 points in a single game.

In the third and fourth games, Liu Mang was attacked by greater defensive aggression on the road. He didn't play well in the first half of the game, and he was powerless to turn the tide in the latter part. Even if he used the star card, it would probably not have a good result.

So Liu Mang chose to avoid the Heat when they were desperate to win and had the home advantage, and chose not to use the star card, and prepared to use the star card in the fifth game.

Unexpectedly, Jason Terry broke out.

And he came at the right time. Liu Mang played 35 minutes in the third quarter of the fifth game and clocked out!

This further strengthened Liu Mang's idea.

To deal with the current Heat team with Pat Riley, Wade at his peak, and O'Neal at the tail end of his peak, you can only use your personal ability to suppress them!

The next morning after the game with the Heat, the Hawks came to Miami from Atlanta again. Fortunately, it was not far away, so it was not a long journey. At most, it was a tiring journey. This was the benefit of the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals in the tight schedule. The sixth game of the two teams will be held here on June 3.

Liu Mang didn't want to drag it to the seventh game. Although playing at home was more certain, the Western Conference was already 3 to 1, and they couldn't be given more preparation time!

When he arrived in Miami, Liu Mang discussed the next game with McGrady and Jason Terry...

...

...

The Hawks' fifth game caused quite a stir, mainly Jason Terry.

For a sixth man, if he played poorly, few people would pay attention to him, and not many people would scold him, especially when there were superstars like Liu Mang and McGrady who were good at taking the blame.

But if the sixth man played well, it would be amazing!

In five games, two games with 30+ points, and in the fifth game, Jason Terry led the team to suppress the Heat. His performance has received widespread attention.

The young role players of the Hawks have not lost in the competition with veteran stars such as Payton, Jason Williams, and Antoine Walker, which has made the Hawks' role player lineup stand out and made many teams jealous.

Now there is a super substitute who can shoot 12 out of 20 and make 8 three-pointers in a single game under the defense of Payton and Wade. Regarding the Hawks lineup, many teams feel that they are going to explode!

This is even without Rahim, who is most suitable for Liu Mang, and the Hawks' lineup still looks so coquettish.

Jason Terry's substitute is undoubtedly a huge sacrifice. His state is up and down because of his good and bad state. Playing as a substitute means that the Hawks cannot formulate tactics specifically for Jason Terry, and he needs to solve the problem by himself, so it is normal for his state to fluctuate.

But two outbursts in five games are enough!

The Hawks don't need to rely on the sixth man to conquer the world like the Spurs do. Jason Terry occasionally has this kind of savior performance, which does not let the burden of the Hawks fall on Liu Mang alone, which has made other teams jealous.

And the current main lineup of the Hawks, except for Rasheed Wallace, McGrady, and Kwame Brown, almost all the others are rookies selected by themselves! Including Jason Terry!

Other teams are very jealous of the Hawks' uniform team!

Top shooting training assistant Chip Engelland, one of the best defensive assistants in the league Mike Woodson, tactical database Lon Kruger, and Stockton, a pick-and-roll master who is better than Jerry Sloan in terms of practical experience, and Karl Malone, a trainer who is responsible for the physical protection of players...

From training players to actual combat, the Hawks have a one-stop perfect system. The team culture that Liu Mang has built over the past five years is now gradually being seen and understood by other team players, management, media, and fans!

For non-Hawks players and fans, with such a team culture and such excellent draft vision, how can other teams survive!

Before, on May 24, there was only one day without a game during the Eastern and Western Conference Finals because the draft lottery took one day. The Knicks' draft pick was the No. 2 pick, but it was sent to the Bulls without protection clauses. The Bulls played in the playoffs and got the No. 2 pick. The Raptors were very lucky to get the No. 1 pick. The Bobcats got the top three picks for three consecutive years and got a No. 3 pick.

The Hawks' own No. 30 pick was sent out long ago, but they got the No. 16 pick in the first round from the Jazz.

Many teams are watching the Hawks scouts to see who the Hawks scouts will contact and which players will be invited to participate in the Hawks' tryouts.

The two teams in the Western Conference Finals are also paying attention to the Eastern Conference Finals. Seeing Jason Terry's magical performance, Nowitzki is very sad. If Jason Terry was willing to go to the Mavericks, they would have enough chips to impress the Hawks, and they are willing to give Jason Terry a higher salary. A starting salary of 10 million is not impossible. At most, he can reduce his salary by 1 million and let Jason Terry start with a salary of 10 million, but Jason Terry is unwilling to go!

Seeing Jamal Crawford's poor performance after being defended by Kobe, and seeing Jason Terry score 37 points against Payton and Wade, Nowitzki felt pain! Jamal Crawford's salary is the same as Jason Terry's! Why is the gap so big!

On the Lakers side, the drug-taking combination saw the Hawks make the score 3 to 2, and they were so happy. They want to enter the finals, and the opponent they want to meet is not the Heat, but the Hawks!

They will also be very motivated and excited to play against the Heat, but there is no opponent that they are more eager to defeat than the Hawks!
