Chapter 1560 1559. I Will Yell First This Time

Use Brad Miller to simulate Garnett's high-post organization, and use Finley to simulate Reid's play style. These two people lead the second team and serve as training objects for the main team to develop a defensive tactical system against the Bulls. Arrangement, the Eagles are conducting targeted defensive training against the Bulls.

After the Bulls and Cavaliers on No. 3 decided the winner, No. 4 Liu Mang started targeted training with his teammates.

Although you can practice without knowing who your opponent will be in the next round, it will definitely be much better once your opponent is determined.

The first game of the second round series between the Eagles and the Bulls on No. 6 is about to begin. Compared to last year, the Eagles are in a better situation this year and have home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Only the veterans of the Eagles can get used to this feeling. They are crazy about food. When they don't have home field advantage and their record is not as good as their opponents, it just doesn't feel right. This time, it finally feels like previous years.

While the Hawks were training, the Bulls came to Atlanta immediately the day after knocking out the Cavaliers, and started training at the visiting team's training facility at Phillips Arena that afternoon...

The Eagles have one training session in the morning and one in the afternoon, which only last for two hours in total. They mainly focus on discussions on defensive strategies. Van Gundy makes tactical ideas based on the effective results of the discussions, and allows the players to try to use Brad Rice's training sessions. Le and Finley came to imitate the two cores of the Bulls and try the effect.

In terms of defense... these two are definitely far behind Garnett and Reed, and offensively... they are also far behind. Needless to say, Brad Miller is not on the same level. Finley did not lose in his prime. To Reed, but already on the verge of retirement.

However, just talking about the high post organization and Finley's proficiency in mid-range shots and high and low post singles, they can still be used as training reference objects.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the Eagles' training ended. Since it was just running practice, you didn't need to take a shower or do physical therapy, so you could go home. There is still one day of training tomorrow, and tomorrow night is the day of the tiebreaker between the Lakers and Rockets. , the series opener between the Magic and the Raptors is about to begin, and there are two more games to watch tomorrow night.

"This year's playoffs are much more interesting than last year, right, Tracy." Liu Mang walked to the parking lot and said to McGrady, who was about to get in the car.

"Yes, last year we swept the first round and had to go to Chicago. If we beat the Bulls, we would go to Cleveland right away. After playing the Cavaliers, we had no time to rest before going to Los Angeles. It was so tiring..." Tracy McGrady also felt the same way.

"Hey, hey, hey...it would be great if we can win the finals! You don't want to go to the away game immediately after winning?" Wade, who was following Liu Mang and McGrady, really wanted to hit someone.

But seeing Rondo's poker face and the trouble-free idiot Little Brown looking deeply convinced... Wade cried silently in his heart...

"It doesn't matter, I am also enjoying the happiness of being number one in the league..." Wade tried hard to find psychological comfort.

When the five of them passed the tunnel of the visiting team's training ground together, they heard scolding.

"Can you beat the Eagles like this? You must be stronger, stronger! There is still a set of training! If you can't complete the goal, tomorrow's training will be doubled..."

Hearing the roar from the away team's training ground reaching the staff parking lot, Liu Mang felt that he was worthy of being the star killer Thibodeau!

In fact, high-intensity training is a very good thing for substitutes, especially for marginal players, because they usually play less. If they experience more devilish training, they may be able to perform better after changing teams.

For example, Omer Asik in the original time and space went through two years of devilish training with the Bulls in his rookie season and second year. After changing teams in his third year, he averaged 10 points and 11 rebounds per game in the first year. .

Jimmy Butler has made great progress in the Bulls every year, and it is difficult to say that it is not the training of Thibodeau.

Young players, especially young players who were not taken seriously at the beginning, may be able to be tapped into their potential under Thibodeau, but after they have become stars, they are still playing under Thibodeau... problems may arise.

"Hey, Dwyane, was this the same as your previous training with the Heat?" Liu Mang asked.

"No." Wade shook his head.

Liu Mang also felt that no one else could be as inhumane as Thibodeau. He smiled and said, "It seems that you are much luckier than Garnett."

When Wade heard this, Liu Mang rolled his eyes and said, "It was impossible for us to be so simple at that time. We arrived at the arena at one o'clock in the afternoon and ended training at five o'clock?"

"..."

Liu Mang thought about it. Rose was injured during the game. Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were injured in practice before the finals... Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was forced to retire directly...

"Suddenly I feel that the Bulls players are so pitiful. We have to work hard to help them. If their season ends early, they won't have to train so hard every day, right, Dwyane."

"..."

…

…

In fact, Liu Mang couldn't tell whether their training method was better or the Bulls' training method.

Just like in the original time and space, no players complained about Thibodeau training too much, and no players complained about Thibodeau's dead stars.

Except for a few players, most players hope to have more playing time, and in terms of training...at least when there is still potential that can be squeezed out, Thibodeau allows his players to shine the most dazzlingly, just like It's already amazing.

Just like in the original time and space, without Thibodeau, Rose might not get the MVP; without Thibodeau, Luol Deng might not enter the All-Stars; without Thibodeau, Noah would have no chance of getting the best defensive player and double first team; if Jimmy Butler had not persisted in Thibodeau's devil training camp, he would have been 30th in the first round... He might have been buried in another team.

At least this season, the Bulls can maintain the league's top defensive efficiency even though a lot of people were used to replace Reed and the strength of the substitute lineup was greatly damaged. Thibodeau's training method is still very effective, allowing the Bulls to be in the ranks of championship contenders for two consecutive years.

In one stadium, two styles of training were carried out in parallel. On the 5th, the last training day before the game between the Hawks and the Bulls, two big battles began.

In these two games tonight, except for the Rockets, the other three teams may become the Hawks' opponents in this year's playoffs, and the Hawks also attach great importance to it.

For this kind of opponent that is not going to be played immediately, it is not like watching the sixth game between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, where the players and the coaching staff watch together. Instead, the coaching staff gathers together to study, and the players can go home and watch or not.

Liu Mang naturally watched the game with the little girl who knows basketball and the two kids who have loved basketball since childhood. Of course, the other two girls were also together.

First, the Magic team challenged the Raptors away from home in the Eastern Conference.

This game... Liu Mang paid more attention to the Magic team.

Clean and neat!

The Magic team made 18 of 31 three-pointers in the whole game, 109 to 95. The Magic team used smooth three-pointers and passes and cuts to break through the Raptors' strong defense built by Milicic, and took away the home advantage with a 16-point advantage in the first game.

This scene... is just like last year!

Except for Milicic who scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, the other Raptors had no advantage against the Magic team.

Lewis was defended by Rahim and had a hard time getting a chance to shoot. The modern Jordan is still a little worse than the modern flying man.

Mainly due to Turkoglu's command in the center!

Howard seems to be very different from the original time and space, who likes to hold the ball and play singles, which he is not good at. It is probably because when he entered the NBA, he was next to Rahim, a scorer who could easily score at least 20 points per game. The Magic did not spoil him like before, but tried to tap his strengths, that is, assist defense and rebounds. This season, Howard averaged 15.1 points, 14.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game in the regular season. Eating cakes and secondary offense are Howard's main offensive means now.

With Carter and Rahim, Howard has no singles, but such a Howard can help the team more than the Howard in the original time and space.

It's mainly a matter of habit. In the original time and space, Howard was trained as a baby, and everything was allowed to him. He felt uncomfortable when he came to the Lakers. In this time and space, Howard was such a role from the beginning, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

This season, the Hawks and the other team tied 2-2 in the regular season, and one of the teams was the Magic!

"It's a bit difficult to deal with, but it's more interesting this way..."

Liu Mang was not afraid, but felt that this year's playoffs made him more excited.

And there is another focus battle next!

The Lakers and the Rockets will have a seventh game!

Two and a half hours later...

"Pan Dafu is so disappointing!" Liu Mang said angrily.

"Pan Dafu? Who is he?" asked the little girl. She didn't remember anyone with this name on the Rockets.

"Um... that's Artest. He said he wanted to take a new name, Friends of the Panda, which is transliterated into Pan Dafu in Chinese."

"Oh..." Little Lolita compared the sound in her head with Chinese and found that it was really similar... But thinking of Artest's performance today, Little Lolita said: "Artest played very well, defending Kobe to 3 of 13, but Kobe's defense was also very good, defending Artest to 3 of 14..."

As Little Lolita said, the Lakers' tactics today seemed very simple, pulling the opponent to the same iron efficiency as themselves, and then killing the Rockets with rich experience in low hit rates.

83 to 70, the two teams played the lowest score in the series, and the Lakers had the last laugh.

The Lakers still entered the second round, and Liu Mang was disappointed. If we say that the biggest highlight of this series is not Kobe against the Rockets' outside line group, but the battle between Yao Ming and Bynum. In this series alone, the two are evenly matched!

Yao Ming played 29 minutes per game and scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, while Bynum played 37 minutes per game and scored 23 points, 9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks.

Speaking of defense alone, Yao Ming's ability to defend the basket is not as good as Bynum's.

But in terms of overall defense, Bynum performed better than Yao Ming in the playoffs.

Yao Ming is more efficient, and Bynum is in better physical condition. Looking at the data of the entire series, Yao Ming did not have the upper hand over Bynum this time.

In addition to brains, Bynum is very strong after three years of teaching by Olajuwon's teacher Carroll Dawson and three years of patient training by the Rockets!

The main reason is that the Lakers played too loosely in the first four games. Yao Ming did not score in double digits in two of the first four games, and was infected with the Lakers' aristocratic disease. Looking at the last three games, Yao Ming still has an absolute advantage.

Liu Mang felt it was such a pity. If the Rockets' power forward hadn't been too mediocre, and Landry was so beaten by Gasol that he couldn't take care of himself. With the Lakers careless in four games, the Rockets wouldn't have had a chance. The salary of the Rockets' lineup is actually less than the salary cap. There are five starters, three rookies, and a minimum salary. The highest salary is Artest's 8 million...

Now that the Lakers have advanced, Liu Mang is going to work overtime tonight to write program copy...

…

…

The Lakers advanced to the second round and will play the Jazz in the second round on May 7. The Lakers only have one day off.

The Jazz are waiting for work and may have a slight advantage, but Liu Mang remembers that the Jazz seem to be beaten by Kobe...

But with the addition of Ray Allen, there may be some changes, but the Lakers upgraded Bynum to Yao Ming...

Liu Mang couldn't care less about the Lakers. In addition to making an appointment with ESPN, if he won tonight, he would record a program about the Lakers tomorrow morning. He would focus all his energy on tonight's second-round matchup with the Bulls. One game above.

Liu Mang came to the arena with the MVP trophy and handed it to the team staff. Then he and his teammates went through the morning tactical meeting, the final tactical training from 10 to 11 o'clock, and the afternoon rest...

At 7:30 in the evening, amid the cheers of the fans, Liu Mang followed his teammates and was the last one to step into the stadium.

"MVP...MVP...MVP..."

When Liu Mang appeared in the spotlight, the familiar MVP shouts rang out.

This is Liu Mang's first appearance in a game after winning three consecutive MVP awards, and the scene is already going to explode!

Then Eagles owner Price came out and gave a speech of praise for Liu Mang, and handed the regular season MVP trophy to Liu Mang again.

"Winning the MVP in front of me again! Like this again!" Garnett thought of the brainless owner of his team who presented the award to Liu Mang at his home court last year, and felt angry!

The pre-game preparations were over. Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air and started the game with Rondo, McGrady, Marion and Kwame Brown.

On the Bulls side, the starting lineup of Hinrich, Reed, Luol Deng, Garnett, and Ben Wallace is equally strong.

Liu Mang moved his neck and watched Kwame Brown and Garnett jump to the center circle, ready to rush forward at any time.

At eight o'clock exactly, the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time and threw the ball into the air.

Kwame Brown did not disappoint Liu Mang, beating Garnett to win the jump ball!

Liu Mang rushed forward and jumped to catch the ball. After landing, he sprinted forward like an arrow.

The Bulls retreated quickly!

The league's No. 1 defense isn't blocked, it's fast and orderly!

When Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line, Reid was already on guard. Liu Mang took advantage of Reid's unsteady footing and directly changed direction to break through. He switched the ball to his left hand and rushed in from the side!

But this change of direction gave Garnett the opportunity to defend well. Marion was in the middle distance, and McGrady was blocked by Reed, who couldn't keep up. Reed came up from a double attack, and Ben Wallace was the winner. Xia's defense was very good... Liu Mang analyzed the current situation in an instant.

So, Liu Mang made a prompt decision and pulled up the mid-range shot almost one meter away from Garnett and Reid!

This ball must be shot, and Liu Mang has something he wants to verify.

After several days of preparation time and several days of studying the Bulls' double-attack habits, Liu Mang made the mid-range shot this time!

He scored on the first attack! The fans at the scene started cheering loudly.

but……

Just as they cheered, the fans at the scene were suddenly stunned...

After seeing Liu Mang score, they retreated and beat their chests and roared!

"Ding... Features: Battle cry triggered at level 1..."
