Chapter 377 375. We Are Young and Never Afraid of Failure! (Plus 5/10)

Chapter 377 375. We are young and never afraid of failure! (Add more 510)

Taking advantage of the effect of the star card in the last few minutes of the first half, Liu Mang scored 5 points and 1 assist in a row, raising the data to 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

There has always been a player on the team who scored 20+5+5 in halftime. Normally, the team should have exploded.

Of course, the Eagles did explode.

After scoring only 7 points in the first seven minutes of the first quarter, they managed to catch up and scored 15 points in the next five minutes, 22 points in the first quarter, 35 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and 57 points in the half.

But the opposite Nets scored 29 points in the first quarter, 33 points in the second quarter, and scored 62 points in the half!

Kidd had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, a quasi triple-double at halftime!

Kidd is not as good as Liu Mang in scoring. He may not be able to achieve Liu Mang's scoring performance in his rookie season in his lifetime, but with 5 more assists, it is not just as simple as allowing his teammates to score 10 points or at most directly allowing his teammates to score 15 points. His first He made a long pass, and his teammates scored with a second pass. He had no assists, but he controlled the rhythm and revitalized the Nets!

If Liu Mang can maintain the state of the first half throughout the game, it is hard to say who will win this game. In the end, it will depend on who can control the situation to the end, Liu Mang or Kidd.

But in the last half minute of the first half, the effect of Liu Mang's star card has ended!

Liu Mang played with the idea of ​​defeating the Raptors and the Pistons. Who knows, he can only compete with Kidd and even have no upper hand. He will compete with the 02-03 Eastern Conference Finals and the Pistons. The team has Ben Wallace, Billups, Hamilton, Clifford Robinson and rookie Prince who were all shaved by the Nets.

Relying on his personal field control ability and organizational ability, Kidd has improved the performance of his teammates by more than one level!

If Liu Mang waited until the second half to use it, it would be even worse. Maybe it would not be the time for him to use the star card, and the team would have collapsed!

At this time, the teammates still didn't know Liu Mang's deep sense of despair, and they all pointed at Liu Mang to play.

Although Raheem is a top star, he is comprehensive, scoring and rebounding plus defense. So far in his career, the lowest rebounds in a season have not been less than 7, and it is still a rookie season.

Rahim is very comprehensive inside singles, but it is definitely impossible to point at him to score alone and win the game. Occasionally, he can score 40+50+ in a single game, but under normal circumstances, even if he is in good condition, that is, more than 30 points. In the playoffs, it is a strong defensive team like the Nets. It is very good to score 30 points, not to mention that Kidd and Kenyon Martin's defensive rotation was severely limited today.

Under the defense of Kittles, Terry is not very good at the emergency stop jump shot. Most of the 15 points in the half are due to Raheem's points and three-pointers in the counterattack.

The Eagles pointed at Liu Mang to open up the situation!

...

The second half of the game started soon, and Liu Mang was anxious throughout the intermission. When he was about to play again, he heard the cheers of the fans, and he even spotted the beautiful seniors and juniors who were ten or so rows behind the technical stage. Looking at the figure of Lolita and the beautiful landlord, Liu Mang slowly calmed down as he looked at the sky above the court.

Isn't it the worst situation, since it is the worst situation, can it be worse?

That being the case, fight!

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Terry, Raheem, Newbell, and Muhammad.

The Nets sent Kidd, Kittles, Jefferson, Van Horn, and Kenyon Martin.

At this anxious moment, both teams have replaced most of the main players, except for the big center.

Since the Nets won the jump ball at the start of the game, the Hawks took the lead in the third quarter.

Liu Mang pushed forward with the ball, and his teammates pulled away consciously.

Liu Mang continued to play singles, and he wanted to continue scoring! At least the offense threatened to keep up.

Jefferson looked at the strongest player in the same class in front of him. His despair was deeper than that of Liu Mang during the halftime break, but they were leading. Kidd said, just try to defend it, and it’s not his fault if you can’t defend it. , so Jefferson is still very focused on defending Liu Mang.

Liu Mang accelerated again, and now Jefferson's defense is not sticking to Liu Mang. Seeing Liu Mang's breakthrough, he immediately turned around and ran, trying to predict Liu Mang's breakthrough position first, although it is very likely that he will immediately It was knocked away, but at least give the inside a little time to defend.

But this time Liu Mang withdrew directly, three-point shot!

In the first half, Liu Mang only tried to shoot a three-pointer, but he missed it when he found that it was not accurate. However, in the second half, the effect of the skill card ended, Liu Mang's bench bandit was triggered, and the three-pointer returned to the standard.

Liu Mang shot the ball very decisively and firmly, and made a hollow hit!

60 to 62, only two points behind!

The difference of two points is not hopeless! Liu Mang encouraged himself.

Liu Mang's attack caught the Nets a little by surprise, but Kidd still immediately picked up the ball and served, and the Nets made a fast break on the third line!

The two arrows of Kenyon Martin and Jefferson screened Kittles and attracted the defense. The Eagles returned to the defense quickly. When Jefferson received the ball in the frontcourt, he and Kenyon Martin were caught by Muhammad De, Newbell, and Raheem blocked, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry also blocked Kittles.

but! The Nets followed up with Van Horn, who followed up a step later. Jefferson gave a point to Van Horn, who followed up to the top arc of the three-point line. The three-point hit by Liu Mang just now.

That's what it feels like!

Liu Mang felt the feeling that he was chasing points all the time, but he was pressed every step of the way. When they scored against each other, they scored! They broke out and the opponent broke out, and the Nets didn't have the offensive ability to completely open the point difference with one hammer, but it happened that this kind of feeling that kept suppressing the Eagles, kept suppressing, and didn't give a breather made Liu Mang felt very uncomfortable.

Liu Mang felt this feeling in the last few minutes of the first half, Kidd's super field control ability! He doesn't have teammates like Nash in the Suns, nor does he have Nash's scoring ability, but he is stronger than Nash in his ability to control the field!

After the Nets scored, they immediately returned to defense, and the Eagles attacked again. After Liu Wei advanced, he found that the opponent had changed defenders. Kidd came up to defend Liu Wei. From the beginning, although Jefferson's defense was already very good, but Kidd knew that Jefferson had been made into a frightened bird by Liu Mang, and he would fly and retreat at a sudden.

Although Kidd didn't know that Liu Mang was no longer able to make a strong attack in the second half, but in the third quarter, Kidd regarded this quarter as the closing game and was going to defend Liu Mang himself, limiting Liu Mang outside the three-point line , The threat is greater than letting him hit the basket, and Liu Mang's ability outside the three-point line is also outstanding. Ten three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs were just ten days ago, so Kidd defended himself.

As for Raheem, Jefferson couldn't guard him, but it didn't matter.

Just like now, when Liu Mang saw Kidd coming to defend him, he immediately passed the ball to Raheem. Raheem squeezed into the basket and scored two points in singles, but the Nets immediately counterattacked. Van Horn Immediately picked up the ball and brushed it to Kidd, who was one step inside the three-point line, and the rest of the Nets made another quick move. Kittles counterattacked and dunked and scored two points.

Kidd's field control continues!

No one in the Eagles can compete, or in other words, no player in the Eastern Conference can compete with Kidd!

The combination of Kidd's offensive control and Scott's defensive system has become the strongest team in the East in the past two years!

...

Liu Mang worked very hard in the second half. He also made breakthroughs and three-pointers, and even caused fouls at the basket.

But without the impact of the first half, the Eagles gradually lost the ability to compete with the Nets, and were gradually overwhelmed by the Nets' overwhelming offensive and defensive dominance. .

Fighting and fighting, the Eagles were ten points behind, and the mood of the fans at the scene began to gradually sink.

However, Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry refused to admit defeat, and Muhammad also refused to admit defeat just like this, and have been working hard.

But still suppressed.

After three quarters, the Eagles trailed 79 to 93 by 14 points.

In the fourth quarter, they still want to fight hard. Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry have hardly rested since playing. Liu Mang is fine and can take physical medicine, while Raheem and Terry are It has reached the end of its strength.

Unlike Kidd, no matter what teammates are replaced, as long as they can run and dunk, they can take off. The Eagles' offense relies on three Kitty Hawks.

Seeing that Raheem is sweating all over his body and has no strength, he still hits the basket hard again and again. Seeing Liu Mang, although he doesn't know why he can't get angry in the second half, he is still trying hard to shoot three-pointers and make kills at the basket. Terry wanted to use the emergency stop jumper to deal with opponents who were ten centimeters taller than him time and time again.

The fans at the scene, who had become extremely depressed because of the big score at home, gradually rose up, cheering for the players.

But in the end, the Eagles failed to comeback, 101 to 113, the Eagles suffered at home!

Liu Mang scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Raheem scored 26 points and 9 rebounds, and Terry scored 25 points.

Except for the three brothers, everyone else did their best, but the three brothers didn't have the second half to open up the situation, and the teammates didn't play much role. If the role players want to score, most of them can only use the stars to attract the defense. When scoring, the stars can't play, and they naturally have fewer chances to score...

...

...

How did the Lakers kill the Nets to sweep? Liu Mang has been thinking about this question after returning to the apartment after finishing the physical therapy.

Little Lolita and Alexia and the others finished the game and Levia drove Alexia back first. When Liu Mang got home, Dinah and little Lolita waited for Liu Mang to get home. Little Lolita sometimes really He was very sensible, originally wanted to complain to Liu Mang, but seeing Liu Mang lost and a little anxious, he comforted Liu Mang, and then went upstairs to sleep without disturbing Liu Mang.

Liu Mang's previous impression of the Nets was that although they were the strongest team in the Eastern Conference in the past two years, he still had the impression that they had no power to fight back when they were swept away by the Lakers.

But thinking about it now, they still have six finals against the Spurs!

The Spurs played six games against the Nets to solve the problem. That year, the Nets defeated the Spurs in the second away game. If Kenyon Martin had not suffered from the flu in the fifth game, the Nets lost the battle of Tianwangshan. It's hard to say the outcome.

In the summer of 2003, Kidd's 9-year long-term contract signed in 1994 expired. Popovich invited Kidd to join him, but Kidd felt that he was very close to the championship, and he was only two games away, so he stayed behind. Nets, and then the Pistons, which had reached the Eastern Conference Finals for six consecutive years, ended the Nets' dominance in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, it is indeed a bit unfair to compare the Spurs, who basically equaled Duncan's single-core championship in 2003, to the Lakers, who won three consecutive championships in 2002.

Liu Mang once again carefully recalled those things about the 2002 finals.

I just remember that year Kobe and Kidd defended each other like noobs, and O'Neal was invincible inside, and the Nets didn't even have a chance to counterattack, because O'Neal basically fouled each other, and the Nets couldn't get up to speed at all. Kobe's fights also consumed a lot of Kidd's energy. Defense against Kobe is much more difficult than defense against Ginobili and Parker who were still young in 2003. Maybe Ginobili and Parker in the rookie period played against Kidd two-on-one. The success rate is not as high as Kobe single-handedly.

The situation that year was that the combination of Kobe and Fisher and the combination of Kittles and Kidd were pecking at each other. A foul. In that series, O'Neal had the lowest free throws in a single game with 14 free throws. The lowest score in a single game was 34 points. He averaged 36 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Overlord, he didn't even give the Nets a chance to win a game, so he killed him in twos and threes.

Regarding today's disastrous defeat to the Nets at home, Liu Mang already knew the news from the outside world without thinking about it.

The media is like that. When you win, they will blow you up to the sky, and when you lose, they will turn around immediately.

Of course, Liu Mang doesn't know how they will write about the media outside of Atlanta. Anyway, the Atlanta media and domestic mainstream media are all in a tone of regret and encouragement, which is always the case during interviews.

After the Eagles lost to the Nets at home, the decisive media was blown away.

At first, not many people paid attention to them, but all of a sudden, the attention rose again, and the Eagles didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

I thought the Eagles would easily eliminate the Nets, but I didn't expect the Nets to make a perfect counterattack against the Eagles in the second game! Leading from the beginning of the game to the end, especially in the second half, the Hawks were not given a chance to struggle.

However, the mainstream media in North America did not fall to one side as Liu Mang thought. Instead, they felt that if the Eagles were not beaten so badly by the Nets at the beginning of the second game, Liu Mang would play earlier. Mang's state in the first half, maybe he won't fall behind, and he won't be defeated in the second half.

When Liu Mang woke up in the morning and saw the media attribute the reason for the loss to Kruger's coach rotation being too stubborn, an idea popped up in his mind: the coach was blamed again.

Huh...why again?

At noon, the Eagles flew to Jersey City, because they had two away games.

After arriving in Jersey City, I still chose to live in the small town of Rutherford, where the Nets' home court is located, and rented the indoor basketball court of the university here.

This time no one is complaining about why they don't live in Jersey City, where they have beautiful sisters.

Now everyone on the Eagles feels tremendous pressure.

Whoever imagined it, in just one day, everything changed! At this time yesterday, everyone was still enjoying the shooting practice before the game in the afternoon, but in less than 24 hours, the world seemed to have changed.

Although the media is not overwhelmingly pessimistic about the Eagles, the view that the Nets can finally win the Eastern Conference Finals is already much more optimistic than the Eagles can win the Eastern Conference Finals, because the Nets have already won the Eastern Conference Finals. The home field advantage is gone, and the Nets' home winning percentage has been high this season.

This kind of public opinion made the Eagles cheer up to train well. Counting the daytime of the game on the 21st, the Eagles still have two and a half days to prepare.

Whether it's the training players, the coach Kruger who scratched his forehead even bigger, or the overly strict Mike Woodson assistant coach, including trainers, physical therapists, shooting assistants, etc., they are all working very hard for the next one. Prepare for the game.

...

On the 19th, the second match between the Kings and the Lakers at home, this time the Kings held on and had the last laugh, playing a gorgeous Princeton, beating the Lakers 116-110 at home and tied 1-1.

The strength is indeed very anxious, and the games between the Kings and the Lakers are all fought to the last moment of the game.

And like the Eagles, they went to Los Angeles the next day after the game and trained in Los Angeles.

Both sides drew 1-1. Judging from the statistics of the first two games alone, all four teams were in good shape. So when there was no game in the two series on the 20th, the final result of the two series The suspense has been raised to the highest level. The Hawks and Nets, the Lakers and Kings, the two series continued to refresh the ratings records of the conference finals.

...

...

Time flies by quietly. When you feel that you don't need time, time often passes very slowly. When you need time, it feels like it will pass in a few seconds.

That's how the Eagles feel right now.

Today is the first away game day for the Eagles. At 6 pm, the game will start in this small town on the eastern coast of the United States.

In the afternoon, Liu Mang did not continue training with his head down, but called Jason Terry, Raheem, and Muhammad to come out for a walk together.

Although Rutherford is a small town, you can take a taxi out of the town for a few dollars, and there is no scenery outside the city, except for the fields, which are the tall chimneys that can be seen directly.

Once outside the city, Liu Mang proposed to take a walk around to relax.

Most of the land in New Jersey is saline-alkali land. Liu Mang saw a Caucasian farmer uncle who was about the age of a logistician driving a locomotive to plant sorghum. Visually, the land of hundreds of acres probably belonged to this farmer uncle.

In the United States, don't underestimate those peasants, they are the real rich landowners, who have land and money.

"Ace, there is still a game tonight, why are you so relaxed this time?" Rahim asked in puzzlement. He clearly remembered that before the start of the last game, Liu Mang was the only one who was very nervous and cautious, but today everyone They were all very nervous, but in the afternoon Liu Mang suggested to take a rest without training in the afternoon.

"Take it easy, Sharif, it's good for us to go out for a walk," Liu Mang said with a smile, "We've prepared enough for the past two days, how much do you think you can improve in one afternoon if you practice shooting again?"

"Ace is right," Muhammad said, "I haven't seen farming for a long time. After I retire, I will go back to my hometown and buy a 1,000-acre farm. I will farm it myself, so I won't worry about it when I get old! . "

"That's right, no matter whether the next game is easy or difficult, we have to treat it with a normal heart. We can't be too nervous, and we can't be as lax as last time. And there is one more important point!" After walking a few steps, I came to the edge of the field on the side of the road, spread my hands and shouted to the sky in Chinese: "We are still young! Never worry about failure!"

The three guys around looked at Liu Mang suddenly yelling loudly in words they didn't understand. Although they didn't understand what it meant, they felt very powerful.

At this time, they didn't ask Liu Mang what he was yelling at. The positive actions and emotions infected them even though they didn't understand the language.

Like Liu Mang, they came to the edge of the field and yelled at the sky what they wanted to say.

There is Muhammad's vulgar slang, there is Raheem who is just shouting, there is Jason Terry who wants to win the championship, increase his status and make a lot of money...

The uncle Caucasian farmer who was driving a tractor to plant seeds in the field was startled by the screams of several people, and almost drove the tractor into the ditch beside the road...

Yo, today is 21,000 words, please ask for a monthly ticket, please recommend a ticket, please give me a reward~
