Chapter 1441 1440. Xinliqi's Ambition (Asking for Monthly Votes)

"I will be the first person in the 03 generation to surpass Ace Liu!"

Xinrich looked at Liu Mang opposite and roared in his heart.

As the first player of the 2003 generation to achieve results, Hinrich has always been ignored. Fans, media, experts, and even current players, when referring to the 2003 generation, all use Liu Mang's "five big treasures" or " "Five Elites" refers to the players of this class, and these five people refer to the top five picks.

And Hinrich, a mature point guard selected by the Bulls with the seventh overall pick, has already led the team to the second round in his second year after entering the NBA. He also defeated Wade head-on and defeated Liu Mang many times in the regular season. But it has been forgotten.

Now, Hinrich's Bulls and Hawks are tied 3-3. Although public opinion has now turned towards the Hawks, who won two away games, Hinrich is not cowed!

Moreover, they tied with the Hawks 3-3. In the past six years, no team has done such a thing except the Nets in the 2002-03 season who played the Hawks in the tiebreaker.

This is the second time in six years that the Eagles have reached the tiebreaker. The Eagles lost the last tiebreaker.

The last time the Eagles lost a tiebreaker, they also lost a tiebreaker on the road.

For Hinrich and his teammates, this is enough to offset the pressure brought on by the Hawks playing better on the road than at home in this series.

"As long as we beat this guy, no other team will be our opponent!"

Hinrich glanced at the entire Eagles team. Before the start of the second round, he did not feel that the Eagles would be so strong this year. For a team that has won three consecutive championships, the core lineup has not changed much, and there is bound to be mental slack and fatigue. Physical fatigue... and other negative situations occur, this is the consensus of everyone, and it is not something that can be avoided if you are aware of it.

Any defending champion knows not to relax, but even for a team as disciplined as the Spurs, in the defending season after winning the championship, you can see that their players are playing with arrogance.

But the Hawks managed to survive despite not being favored, and in the playoffs they still showed their ability to compete for the championship.

This is real strength. In terms of hard work, the Bulls are obviously more hardworking than the Eagles. In terms of motivation, the Bulls are also more motivated than the Eagles. Their desire for the championship, their hatred for the opponent, and their drive to defeat their opponents. , the Bulls are better than the Hawks.

However, after six games, the Eagles still did not fall behind and tied 3-3. On the contrary, because of their outstanding performance in the away game, fans and the media felt that they had a greater chance of advancing.

If such a series is passed, Hinrich believes that the subsequent games of his team will be smooth. At least in the East, he will not pay attention to whether it is the Cavaliers or the Magic.

"As long as we beat him, we can step onto the top stage!"

Hinrich's eyes showed rare excitement.

And the person who made Hinrich feel that he had the opportunity to become the first star of the 2003 generation to reach the top stage was No. 21, Kevin Garnett, who was shouting beside him to encourage the morale of his teammates with a hoarse voice. !

…

"Lillard, Reed, Murphy...and River? If you can use it, use it, smash it if you can...If it doesn't work, try your luck by drawing a few more...but it seems that those who have been drawn before are not drawn again. I’ve been here and can only experience it once?” Liu Mang looked at the star card section in the system space while shooting warm-up shots.

Compared to Xinrich's side, which was full of passion, fighting spirit, pursuit of honor, and struggle against fate... Liu Mang's thinking was very simple.

How to deal with your opponent!

In addition to Liu Mang's "tears of emotion" in the first three seasons of his career, Liu Mang became very worried later on.

In the past two days, the Eagles mainly rested. After six games, the Eagles discovered that tactics are useless. Your role players can't make a shot even if they move out of position. If you can't make a shot, it's useless. No.

It depends on defense and the strength of the stars. If you can throw the ball in against a defense full of confrontation, then you are a superstar.

This is the playoff matchup between teams of equal strength in the first ten years of the NBA.

Liu Mang felt that maybe this was the reason why the NBA president always encouraged offense. Such a game was really not a good watch.

But equally, under such a confrontation, only those stars can be remembered by fans, attract so many fans, and have so many die-hard fan groups.

In the future, it will be difficult for some All-Stars in the offensive era, even All-Star voting champions, to find a so-called fan group for this star, let alone become a representative of an era. Most fans vote for such stars in All-Star voting. , because I can’t find anyone else who is better to vote for, and I will give it to whoever has good data.

…

There were no pre-game performances. The atmosphere at the Bulls' home court was so fanatical that they no longer needed any performances. On the contrary, the cheers brought by the Bulls' home cheerleading team's opening performance since the Battle of Tianwang Mountain were no match for the boos of McGrady from the Chicago fans. Voice.

Ever since McGrady performed the bull dance, Bulls fans have hated McGrady.

On the contrary, Liu Mang was not hated by the Bulls for his bullfighting, because the Bulls already hated him.

As for McGrady, who cooperated with Liu Mang to prank their Bulls team, the hatred of Bulls fans surged.

At 7:30 p.m., Liu Mang appeared in the starting lineup with McGrady, Grant Hill, Marion, and Kwame Brown.

On the Bulls side, the starting lineup of Hinrich, Sefrosa, Luol Deng, Garnett, and Ben Wallace appeared.

When Kwame Brown won the jump ball from Garnett for the fifth time in seven games, the game officially began.

The tactical confrontation had long been abandoned by the two teams after the first four games.

Starting from the fifth game, the two teams had no routines to speak of on the offensive end. They just relied on the stars to score singles, the tacit understanding between the players, and the way to cooperate from temporary reactions outside of tactics. The offensive tactics were studied thoroughly by the opponent. If you play tactics, you will definitely fall into the opponent's defensive trap. It is better to play with strength.

Then the key is defense. Whichever side defends better and predicts the temporary reactions of the opponent's stars better will take the lead!

To be honest, on the Hawks side, which has won two of the last three games between the two teams, Liu Mang's prediction of the Bulls' pass control with Garnett's ball-holding offense is more accurate!

The more such games there are, the more Liu Mang finds that the effect of his "barricade" is not affected by the greater confrontation and the opponent's offense has no routines, but the effect has become better!

Because the tactics are not easy to play, they are mainly based on on-the-spot reaction, so there will not be too many routines of passing fake moves. In this kind of on-the-spot reaction, passing fake moves are likely to deceive the opponent while deceiving his teammates.

In this case, if Garnett passes the ball after his personal offense is blocked in high-post back-to-back and high-post face-to-frame singles, Liu Mang has a 50% chance of predicting Garnett's pass target.

It is with Liu Mang's leadership that the Hawks' defense has been greatly improved in the last three games. Originally, the Hawks' defense was a big step behind the Bulls. Although the Bulls' defense is still better now, after all, the Bulls' lineup is too exaggerated from a defensive perspective, but the Hawks are not as far away from the Bulls as before.

The Red Bulls, except for Garnett, have no other players who can average 20+ points per game. There are too few players who can attack. The Bulls' offense relies heavily on touch.

When the Hawks' defense improved, they did a better job defending the Bulls. In this case, although the Hawks' defense was a little worse, they were better at defending the Bulls than the Bulls were at defending the Hawks!

This is the key to the Hawks' two wins in the past three games!

The Hawks and Bulls won the past two games away from home, which is just a coincidence.

The Bulls won the last game purely because they had a great touch that day, and the Bulls' mid-range and long-range shots were very good throughout the series.

But the Hawks won two of the past three games... because the Hawks have more players who can shoot amazing shots!

And today...

Liu Mang exploded!

After scoring 65 points in the second game, Liu Mang's scoring performance calmed down in the next four games and returned to normal levels.

However, after the adjustments in these games, Liu Mang's touch exploded today!

Liu Mang made 4 consecutive mid-range shots at the beginning of the day, and after attracting a double team, he passed the ball to McGrady, and McGrady attracted a switch and passed it to Marion for a three-pointer, helping the Hawks to score 11 to 5 in four minutes!

In four minutes, the Hawks scored 11 points, and the Bulls head coach Skiles was scared.

Of course, defense is the key. The Hawks maintained the defense of the previous three games, and the Bulls only scored 5 points in 4 minutes!

In the first six games, because the Hawks won an away game at the beginning, the Hawks also won the decisive battle. In the first six games, the Hawks did not have the pressure of being eliminated if they lost.

But this time, Liu Mang was under a lot of pressure!

Driven by this pressure, Liu Mang made a lot of preparations, such as preparing a lot of star cards and trying them one by one as if they were free to see which star's style of play was good for the Bulls' defense.

However, Liu Mang's hand was so hot, and his reckless style of play was more effective than any other style of play. He just had to squeeze Sefrosa into the three-point line and throw it before Garnett could make up for the defense. He made 4 shots in a row, 4 of 4 shots. In this case, what star card was needed? Just go for it!

The Bulls had done enough psychological preparation to compete with the Hawks in defense and star confrontation. Although Hinrich was not an offensive star, he also averaged 17 points per game, Luol Deng averaged 19 points per game, and although Garnett only averaged 18 points per game this year, he had been a star averaging 20+ points per game for seven or eight consecutive years. There was also Nocioni, a substitute forward and guard who averaged 15 points per game...

But... Liu Mang told them what a real super scorer was from the beginning of the game!
