Chapter 1459 1458. Tenacious Adjustment Under Adverse Circumstances

92 to 107…

Liu Mang scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 9 of 25 shots. McGrady also had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. However, Jason Terry performed poorly in the second quarter of the first game. He only made 3 of 12 shots from the field. Scored 10 points, and the key players are Marion and Kwame Brown. Marion only had 9 points. Kwame Brown was like Howard when he met Yao Ming. He was not as good as Kwame Brown in his independent offense of grabbing offensive rebounds. Brown was miserably beaten, scoring only 6 points and 7 rebounds.

Moreover, the Hawks couldn't stop Gasol's 24 points, 16 rebounds and Odom's 15 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in the paint. The key point is Yao Ming. His statistics are not very good, only 13 points, but his containment power is too great. He's strong, even though he only has two blocks in defense at the basket, but similar to O'Neal, he is a huge defensive threat standing there.

Kobe is similar to Yao Ming, with poor statistics, 7 of 18 shots. Kobe only scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists today. He was very badly guarded, but he used the defense he attracted to help other Lakers players. Played to a very good level.

No matter how Liu Mang provoked or attacked, Kobe was like a mute today, not responding to a word.

Twice!

Having already lost to Liu Mang twice in the finals, Kobe has no psychological fluctuations no matter how Liu Mang taunts him.

He knows that if something goes wrong with him, the entire Lakers team will be doomed.

Kobe doesn't care about anything now, his goal is very clear, just kill Liu Mang! He didn't want to hear anything else or respond.

He couldn't accept losing to Liu Mang again.

Kobe's paranoid personality often caused him to get carried away by various things, but when he thought that with a perfect lineup, he might be like a famous player in team history, he could never win against an opponent. His paranoid personality made him lose twice in a row. Finally, calm down and play in the most reasonable way.

Although Kobe is reasonable, he lacks the unparalleled ability to reverse a crisis, and lacks the 80-point killing attribute, but... the overall strength of the Lakers is stronger than that of the Hawks, and Kobe only needs to try his best to guard against Liu Mang. You need to help your teammates with the ball, as long as it is reasonable, the Lakers can win!

…

"They played very well. We still have a lot to improve. We are still young, right. We can outlast those born in the 1970s... You don't know what it means to be born in the 70s? I won't tell you. …”

After Liu Mang finished the interview, he went to the bathroom in the locker room to take a shower.

The first game was indeed a miserable loss.

The entire process was suppressed!

And the feeling of being suppressed was even stronger than when we lost to the Lakers in the regular season.

The three giants of the Lakers, plus Odom, Barnes, Fisher, Wang Zhizhi... and other role players, when Odom can only be a role player next to the giants, you know this team The team lineup is so scary.

Compared to the Christmas Day game, the Lakers are better adjusted now.

In addition, the first game of the finals was an away game. The Eagles lost, and their mentality was not particularly affected.

In the first game, Liu Mang summed up a lot of things.

Mainly due to my own weaknesses.

The Lakers are so perfect inside. They have Gasol and Yao Ming at a slow pace in positional battles. If you want to go faster, you can use Gasol, Wang Zhizhi, and Odom. They are highly mobile and not bad. The Hawks really want to go all out. If they want to run to death, the Lakers can force the position. Yao Ming's physical fitness declined in the second half, so they used Odom and Gasol to partner in the paint to keep up with the speed. Even if the Hawks played one-on-one in the fourth quarter, 28 to 20 in the quarter, but because we were too far behind in the first three quarters, we couldn't catch up.

"Their purpose is to widen the point difference during regular time and avoid the shortcomings of a defense like Yao Ming's lack of energy in the fourth quarter..."

After the first game, Liu Mang's biggest gain was this.

As for the problem of strength suppression...that is a problem of overall strength, and cannot be reversed by tactics or small thoughts.

Today, Kobe felt as if his tongue had been cut, Liu Mang was almost as strong as iron, and the other party didn't react at all.

However, losing the first game did not dampen the morale and fighting spirit of the Eagles, which is good news for Liu Mang.

After all, it's just the first away game. Losing the first away game in the finals is not something difficult to accept.

…

After returning to the hotel villa complex with his teammates, McGrady took the lead in proposing to hold a players meeting to discuss strategies for the next game.

The location was right next to the swimming pool of the villa where Liu Mang lived. Levia helped Liu Mang and others prepare energy drinks and some nut snacks, and took the little Loli back upstairs to rest.

During the finals, the little Loli didn't bother Liu Mang because he lost the game.

They all know that time is very important to Liu Mang and others now, and they cannot be distracted or have additional pressure.

The coaching staff was discussing countermeasures after returning to the hotel, and the players were also discussing among themselves.

The coaching staff thinks about tactics, but the players themselves are the executors of the game. Players need to find ways to play the way the coaching staff wants.

Execution is very important, but execution effect is even more important, because for any tactic, the expectations and ideal effects from the beginning of setting this tactic must be perfect. As long as it can be successfully executed, it is the best tactic that cannot be defended. .

Of course, this is only an ideal state. The player's ability, tactical awareness, and execution are the keys to achieving the ideal execution effect.

"These mid-range shooters of the Lakers..." Liu Mang first said what he felt was difficult for the Lakers to defend, and then brought up what he noticed after the first game, which the Lakers could not defeat. defense.

Liu Mang's brain is very useful in this regard. He single-handedly explained most of the problems encountered in the first game.

However, others did not just listen and speak, and spoke out their own personal encounters. After all, everyone has different feelings about the opponent's defense. This is why tactics often cannot be achieved even if they are executed well. The key to anticipating the best results.

Tactical planners and tactical executors usually have different judgments on the game.

Write down the problems one by one on the small blackboard that has been set up. If you can’t write any more, write them down with a pen on the paper. Then discuss how to deal with them. The one who thinks of the best solution will ask the coaching staff tomorrow if you can’t think of anything unexpected.

As for coming up with a solution and whether the opponent will make adjustments in the next game, that is all a matter of the game. Liu Mang and his teammates just do what they should do...

Grant Hill, Marion, Blake and other new teammates this season saw heated discussions among their teammates led by Tracy McGrady, Liu Mang, and Jason Terry. This was their first time experiencing something like this. matter.

"Is this how the finals are played?" The same question popped up in several people's heads.

"Maybe this is what the finals will be like..."

None of the three have played in the finals, so we can only guess this way.

As everyone knows, this kind of discussion model is the only one in the NBA... This is a discussion model that Liu Mang and his teammates came up with after the 2004 Finals came to Los Angeles because the situation was not very favorable. The coaching staff felt that it was useful. The effect has endured and has become part of the Eagles' unique team culture.

…

…

On May 4th and May 5th, the rest days between the first and second games of the finals, there was a lot of heated discussion about the finals.

Just after the first game, some media started predicting the finals MVP.

There are roughly two predictions. One is Liu Mang's loser MVP. Of course, Liu Mang has to perform better. Although the loser MVP is almost impossible now, Liu Mang cannot stand up to the playoffs this season. He once scored 65 points in a single game during the game. That one game was enough to make people look forward to the possibility of Liu Mang going berserk when the situation in the finals was unfavorable. What if the finals came...

But the one with higher expectations is of course the Lakers. The Lakers won the first game cleanly, leading by 23 points in the three quarters. It was so stable. They maintained high-pressure rule so steadily that it was hard for the fans to believe that they had won the fourth consecutive game. The Eagles, who reached the finals last year and won three consecutive championships before, have a great chance to counterattack.

However, the first candidate for the Lakers' Finals MVP is not Kobe, nor is it Yao Ming, who is regarded as the second best of the Lakers, but Pau Gasol!

Even the person with the second highest MVP probability is not Kobe or Yao Ming, but Lamar Odom.

Odom's ex-girlfriend is about to give birth to the child she conceived before they broke up, and she is now in a state of excitement. Throughout the playoffs this year, Odom averaged 12.5 rebounds per game, as well as 12 points and 6 assists per game. The performance was very good and carried over to the finals.

Gasol is very simple. He was the best player in the first game and the MVP in the first game.

In addition to this, news has also spread that Oden, Al Horford, Nick Young, Marcus Thornton, Thaddeus Young, Jeff Green and other popular rookies will participate in the Heat's trial training. Out.

With the Rockets' mid-to-late first-round pick, the Suns' late first-round pick, and the No. 1 pick, the Heat have attracted the attention of candidates at all stages of the first round.

Except for Kevin Durant, who signed with Liu Mang's agency, who declined to participate in the Heat's trial training, the Heat invited a total of exactly 20 rookies who were predicted to be selected in the first round to trial training.

Durant did not go to the Heat for a trial, but went to the Hornets. Oden said that he would only participate in the Heat trial... giving the media a lot of room for speculation.

For the Eagles, the itinerary for the past two days is simple, and even Jason Terry has no idea of ​​​​trying to go out.

After the game on the 3rd, we discussed it for several hours. After communicating with the coaching staff the next morning, we conducted modified tactical training in the afternoon.

The same goes for the night of the 4th. I made changes to the ideas I came up with last night but couldn't implement during training. I continued training on the 5th...

time!

The Eagles feel like there's not enough time here!

The real shortcomings can only be felt by playing in person, but there is not as much time as before the finals.

…

Soon, on June 6, it was time for the second game between the Eagles and the Lakers.

The first two days were spent in crazy discussions and training, but on the day of the competition, Liu Mang and others still felt that there were many unresolved problems.

But last night, Coach Kruger stopped the players who wanted to continue the late-night discussion and told them to have a good rest.

It is important to have serious discussions to solve problems and train hard for the results of the discussions, and it is also one of the key reasons why the Eagles won three consecutive championships.

However, rest is also important. On the day of the game, coach Kruger did not continue to arrange training. He conducted daily shooting training and let the players rest.

The second game of the finals for the first time when trailing 0-1 is here!

The single chapter that curses people has been blocked. I’m so kind, but I don’t have a penis.
