Chapter 1555 1554. Regular Season Is over, the West Is Wild!

There is no other way, the Eagles can only fight on defense, or play defense when the three main defensive players take turns to be at a disadvantage.

The first quarter was okay. The lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Mason, Grant Hill, and Kwame Brown had just one quarter, and the opponent was tied at 18 in a bloody battle.

But in the second quarter, the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Finley, Scola, and Brad Miller came up...

The defensive effect is simply amazing.

The Eagles have to rotate like this. Grant Hill is so old. Even if the defensive effect is good, he cannot use it to death. Not everyone is Thibodeau.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Eagles could only attack aggressively.

The Eagles started the second quarter at a defensive disadvantage...

After beating and beating, Liu Mang started to get angry!

This time, Liu Mang didn't deliberately try to block shots. Instead, he frantically covered up defenses everywhere, trying to plug all the loopholes.

Of course, this is impossible. If a big player with similar defensive strength guards the inside, he can do better. But no matter how good Liu Mang's defense is, he is still an outside player...

There are more blocks and more steals, but it still fails to produce a qualitative change in defense. There is still a big difference in the role of internal and external lines in defense.

In the end, the Eagles lost the second game of back-to-back games 85-91, with a score difference of 6 points.

but……

Liu Mang’s data exploded!

It seems like there is only a double-double, but... 17 points, 10 blocks, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Liu Mang is one steal away, which is 5 times 5!

In fact, if you include Liu Mang's 6 turnovers and 5 fouls in this game, the number is already 6 times 5...

Liu Mang blocked double figures for the third time in his career!

It's a pity that today's offense was average, I only got 6 assists, and I didn't get enough rebounds...

but……

After this game, Liu Mang's average blocks per game increased to 3.02! Just over 3 blocks per game!

On Garnett's side, although he also had 4 blocks today, he only returned to averaging 2.85 blocks per game. Instead, Liu Mang opened the distance even further!

Liu Mang played a full 48 minutes in today's game. Although he lost, he showed people that he is more than just a shot-blocking brush.

Liu Mang's enthusiasm on the defensive end is amazing. He had his second-worst shooting performance of the season, 5 of 25... He shot 20 irons, which was only slightly better than the 23 irons he played against the Rockets.

But the desperate defense in 48 minutes really surprised many fans who came to watch the battle between Liu Mang and Garnett for the block title.

It's a pity that with such data, the Eagles still lost.

…

…

Despite trying his best, Liu Mang was still unable to sweep the Bulls in the regular season. Liu Mang was a little depressed and helpless.

Liu Mang couldn't understand what the god Thibodeau was thinking.

In Liu Mang's memory, which is no longer particularly clear, it seems that no matter how many stars he plays with, Thibodeau has not made any changes in his coaching.

"The Wolfberry brothers are still smart! With 150 million to play health basketball, they were not ruined by Thibodeau. If they play hard according to Thibodeau's ideas, let Thibodeau achieve a record..."

After losing to the Bulls in the second back-to-back game, the Hawks completely lost hope of winning 70 games.

Now the Eagles are 67 wins and 13 losses, with two games left, and at most they are tied for fourth place in history with 69 wins.

However, the Eagles have already locked up the regular season championship, so there is no big problem.

Now all we have to do is guard against Garnett blocking shots in the remaining two games!

…

On April 15th and April 17th, in the last two games of the Eagles' third consecutive season, Liu Mang averaged 4 blocks, which was not much, but he steadily maintained an average of 3 blocks per game. data.

Played against the Celtics and defeated the opponent 106 to 99. The Celtics really wanted to beat the Eagles, but they failed.

Conley performed well today, scoring 15 points and 10 assists, his 11th double-double of the season. Pierce also had 35 points. However, the Hawks played all the main players in the last two games and played honestly on both the offensive and defensive ends. Liu Mang The reason he didn't block many shots was because Coach Kruger was a little angry.

Playing the Heat in the final game... the Heat voluntarily gave up. The Heat currently have 16 wins and the Pacers have 15 wins. The Heat want to lose more.

16 points, 19 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks. Liu Mang passed the ball and assisted. The Hawks slaughtered the Heat 133 to 91, with a score difference of 42 points, and won the final game of the regular season!

…

…

On April 18th, it was like Christmas in Atlanta, with shopping malls all over the city holding big sales.

Of course, they are borrowing from the Eagles.

69 wins and 13 losses!

After a year, the Eagles once again won the first place in the Eastern Conference!

In seven seasons, the Hawks have won the first place in the Eastern Conference 5 times and the regular season championship 4 times!

The last time a team won four regular season championships in 10 years was the Spurs from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century!

The Spurs began to win the regular season championship in the second year after having Duncan. They were also the regular season champion in the previous 1994-95 season, plus 2001, 2003, and 1999, four regular season championships in 10 years. Championship, 6-time Western Conference Champion…

In terms of stability, the East Eagle and the West Thorn each dominate one side!

We have champions, stability, and explosive performance... Atlanta fans began to spend money to celebrate the home team's winning of the regular season championship and the third-highest regular season record in team history.

On the night when the Hawks defeated the Heat yesterday, the regular seasons of NBA teams also ended one after another.

In the East, the Hawks ranked first with 69 wins and 13 losses, the Raptors ranked second with 61 wins and 21 losses, the Magic ranked third with 57 wins and 25 losses, the Bulls ranked fourth with 54 wins and 28 losses, the Cavaliers ranked fifth with 52 wins and 30 losses, the Bobcats ranked sixth with 42 wins and 40 losses, the 76ers counterattacked all the way, ranked seventh with 38 wins and 44 losses, and the Nets ranked eighth with 34 wins and 48 losses.

In the East, except for the two teams from the bottom two with less than 20 wins, the ninth to thirteenth teams all have between 25 wins and 33 wins, which looks much more "powerful" than the teams at the end of the West.

Who said that the West...can't make the playoffs even with 50 wins!

Can you imagine a 55-win team not making the top four in the division?

The West did it.

A 50-win team not making the playoffs?

The West did it, too!

Except for the Spurs, who mysteriously reached another peak and set a new record with 63 wins and 19 losses, there are no other 60-win teams in the West.

But there are eight teams with 50+ wins...

The second-place Lakers in the West have 56 wins and 26 losses, the same as the third-place Hornets in the West, both have 56 wins, but the Lakers' record against the Hornets in the regular season this season is 3 wins and 1 loss. The Lakers directly suppressed the Hornets, and Kobe also played against the Hornets on April 15th with 33 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, firmly suppressing Paul.

The fourth-place Nuggets in the West have 54 wins and 28 losses, and the fifth-place Suns in the West have 55 wins and 27 losses. Who said that the Nuggets are the first in the Northwest Division?

The sixth-place Jazz have 53 wins and 29 losses, and the seventh-place Rockets have 52 wins and 30 losses.

The Mavericks team had 51 wins and 31 losses, and beat the Trail Blazers team with 50 wins and 32 losses to enter the playoffs. It was a close call. The regular season champion of last season almost didn't make the playoffs in the new season.

The Trail Blazers cleared out all the people from the Portland prison era, with Roy and Aldridge as the core, and traded the potential rookie Thaddeus Young from the 76ers for the big center Dalembert of Haiti, and played an amazing season, with an excellent record of 50 wins and 32 losses, but they didn't make the playoffs!

However, in contrast, the Timberwolves, who ranked last in the West, had 13 wins and 69 losses... The Grizzlies, who ranked second to last, had 20 wins and 62 losses, the Kings, who ranked third to last, had 21 wins and 61 losses, and the Supersonics, who ranked fourth to last, had 22 wins and 60 losses...

The records of the last four teams in the West were ridiculously poor.

…

On the evening of April 18, Liu Mang participated in the team's regular season championship celebration banquet and the fan care event and drew three front-row season tickets for the fans.

The celebration banquet is over, and the regular season is truly over.

This year's regular season end time arrangement and playoff start time arrangement make all teams very satisfied.

The regular season ends on the 17th, and the playoffs start on the 22nd.

There are four days of rest in between!

This is very beneficial for the Hawks, whose substitute lineup is mainly composed of veterans.

The first round of the playoffs has also been announced. The Hawks will play the Nets again...

The Raptors play the 76ers, the Magic play the Bobcats, and the Bulls play the Cavaliers.

In the West, the Spurs play the Mavericks, the Lakers play the Rockets, the Hornets play the Jazz, and the Suns play the Nuggets.

After returning home, Liu Mang looked at the playoff schedule and matchup table announced by the NBA official website in the afternoon, and felt that every round of the Western Conference series was very exciting to watch!

How will Yao Ming deal with Bynum?

The strongest point guard battle between Nash and Iverson's VP?

Deron VS 58...

The super power forward battle between Nowitzki and Duncan!

Just when Liu Mang was looking forward to watching the live broadcast of the Western Conference playoffs, the little loli came to Liu Mang's arms.

"Uncle, look at this!" The little girl snatched the mouse and keyboard, and opened the basketball section of 'reddit'.

The little girl clicked on a pinned hot post with more than 10,000 replies, and turned to look at Liu Mang like offering a treasure.

Liu Mang moved the mouse and looked at the content of the post.

The content... Liu Mang was embarrassed!

"Is he still a human with such performance? I don't think so. Ace is the god of basketball!"

An IP-free user who did not want to reveal his name posted a post with such a title on the Internet.

It carefully analyzed Liu Mang's performance this season, from offense to defense...

The content is roughly like this:

First, the data:

He played 82 games in the season, averaging 28.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 10.4 assists, 3 blocks and 1.4 steals per game.

Scoring, assists, and blocks are all in the top three in the league!

His shooting percentage is a career high of 53%, his three-point shooting percentage is 39%, he averages 3.9 three-pointers per game, and his free throw shooting percentage is 91%...

The average of 3.05 blocks per game once again breaks the NBA guard block record!

Even among all the outside players, except for Kirilenko's average of 3.4 blocks per game in the 04-05 season when he won the best defensive player and 3.2 blocks per game in the 05-06 season, only Liu Mang can average 3 blocks per game!

Then there was a lot of praise...

"That's not right! I didn't create a smurf account! The post was posted at 3:30 pm? At that time, I seemed to be taking a photo with the officials of the city council, so I couldn't be sleepwalking..."

Liu Mang was puzzled. Who was praising him online?

Don't say it, although he was puzzled, Liu Mang felt that this fan had a good eye!

"Wait," Liu Mang wanted to be narcissistic, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He picked up the little girl and put her on his lap and asked: "Dina, did you do this?"

"This is a post written by Dina and the computer expert teacher in the school! Don't worry, this time it is very covert and will not be discovered!"
