Chapter 738: 737. Destroy the Nets! (Please Subscribe, There Is Another Chapter!)
The terrifying double-handed version of Ace Liu appears again!
Although there is no such thing as the last time he used the peak Ginobili star card to play against the Spurs, the true pure offensive end of 95 is as terrifying as the strength of a superstar. After all, there is an almost insurmountable gap between 94 and 95, such as Kidd, Carter, they were strong, very strong, but they didn't get over that.
Kidd lacks the ability to raise the upper limit of the team, and his lack of scoring ability is the reason why he cannot truly become a superstar in the system evaluation. Even if his role is almost no one in the league except Duncan and the peak O'Neal, he is better than him for a team. The team has improved even more, but based on the system rating, he still has not been rated as a superstar with an ability value above 95 by the system.
Carter's scoring ability is strong, and his skills may be the best and most comprehensive among the four shooting guards in the early stages of his career. His physical fitness is even the best, and he also has super potential. I am full of enthusiasm, and it explodes. Most of the time, it is not because of the victory or defeat of the game, but because of the "interest".
And like Kobe and Iverson, they can organize offense, score, and have the ability of key killers.
Garnett, omnipotent and invincible, with his own defensive system, given two slightly capable teammates, such as the other two of the three-headed monsters in the 34-5, can play MVP performance and get the first record in the division .
As for McGrady... a good talent is that he can do whatever he wants...
There are so many powerful players in the NBA, but there are only a few who are systematically evaluated as superstars. O’Neal, Duncan, Garnett, McGrady, Iverson, and Kobe Bryant were not evaluated as superstars in the past few years. It’s still this season The peak period began before he was evaluated as a superstar.
Others like Webber, Kidd, Carter, etc. have obvious shortcomings. The superstar who is closest to the system evaluation is, on the contrary, Dirk Nowitzki, who has always been the most neglected among the four power forwards.
With a group of strong teammates, Liu Mang, who has a 94 ability rating and can shoot both ways, is enough to deal with the Nets without Kenyon Martin. Although Carter is added, they look stronger, but they have become top-heavy. Enough to the point where the Nets are unstoppable!
If you dare to double-team Liu Mang, the Nets will be killed by the other Eagles. If you don’t double-team Liu Mang, you won’t be able to stop him. An extremely sharp player who is the closest to a superstar has a group of powerful players. Teammates, Rao Kidd, there is absolutely no way this time!
When there were 3 minutes left in the game, the point difference was still 18 points, and the Nets announced their surrender!
Because, Liu Mang has made 18 of 35 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 11 of 14 free throws, 51 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists!
With two assists and two rebounds, you can have a triple-double in the playoffs!
It seems that there is no chance of a comeback at all, and the Nets don't want to give Liu Mang a chance to get a triple-double.
Liu Mang was playing well and was counting his stats. At this moment, he was enjoying the feeling of one man, one city. The Nets suddenly replaced the starting lineup that had been chasing points for almost 40 minutes...
Liu Mang felt so sad and angry about this feeling!
If I had known earlier in the first three quarters, I would have passed more balls, allowing my teammates to grab two more rebounds!
It was in the second half of the fourth quarter that Liu Mang saw that the Nets had no chance to catch up with the score and the opponent had already collapsed. Only then did he realize that he had 47 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and then spent three minutes to collect the data. , and only got 1 rebound and 2 assists...
Seeing coach Kruger tell him to leave the court, Liu Mang was stubborn and didn't want to go down, but his teammates didn't understand his sadness at all. Seeing the Nets surrender, Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff supported him While cheering and leaving the field, another 50+ player in a single game appeared, and he was still a teammate. The Eagles players were all happy for Liu Mang from the bottom of their hearts.
When Liu Mang was carried away from the court, he turned his head unwillingly and looked at the data of 51+8+8 displayed on the big screen. He really wanted to go up and read the data for three minutes. Try to do it. Two rebounds and two assists are still possible. brushed...
106 to 89, in the end, the Eagles easily defeated the Nets in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals with a 17-point advantage!
Liu Mang scored 50+ for the first time in the playoffs!
Before Liu Mang, in the NBA playoffs for so many years, there were only 18 players who scored more than 50 points in a single game 31 times! Among them, Jordan has dominated eight times, followed by Iverson and Chamberlain's three 50+ times. These three people have already occupied 14 of the 31 times.
Among the active players, only Iverson, Carter, and Ray Allen have scored 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs. They are better than O'Neal and Duncan. Nine, the fourth active player to score 50+ in a single game in the playoffs!
In a news interview after the game, he was asked if he would become the only player with a 50+ triple-double in the playoffs with two assists and rebounds short, and if he had any regrets.
Liu Mang said from the bottom of his heart: "What's the point of a triple-double? Only a statist would value that thing. Compared to the victory of the game, I'm not interested in a triple-double at all..."
So loyal and honest, Liu Mang went back to the gym to practice Jeet Kune Do for half an hour after the interview...
...
It seems that the point difference is not particularly big, only 17 points. For the playoffs, it is not a big point difference. There are 58 points, let alone 17 points.
However, the Lakers and Timberwolves, who followed the Eagles' Eastern Conference finals all the time, felt tremendous pressure.
The Nets had no power to fight back almost from the beginning!
The Eagles are no longer the Six Nations Guards that were still growing in the past two years, but have truly become one of the best teams in the league, and even the strongest team!
The whole first game crushed the Nets, which gave the Eagles players great confidence!
Although he also played a tie-break with the Nets last season, the games he won were all very difficult wins by a few points.
But this time is different, the Eagles players found that they have an absolute advantage playing the Nets here!
Two completely different feelings, and in the eyes of the Eagles players, losing to the Nets twice in a row, both in the Eastern Conference finals, seems to be yesterday. This comparison makes the Eagles even more Confident, and because of the losses in the past two years, now I am more eager to win!
...
...
On May 20th, a perfect day.
Dinah got up early and wanted to make breakfast with her uncle, but when she passed the dining room on the way to the kitchen, she found that there were already three steaming breakfasts.
Dinah was very strange. She checked the time and it was only 7:15. Breakfast is ready?
Walking to the dining table, Dinah saw a piece of paper pressed under the three milk cups, and Dinah found the piece of paper with her name written on it.
There are very warm but simple words written on it, which Dinah, who has learned Chinese for two years, can understand. It is very simple good morning greetings and blessings, and I wrote 520 before signing.
Little Lolita's little heart was pounding, and she suddenly thought that there were pieces of paper under the milk cups of the teacher and her mother, and it turned out that they were all the same.
Especially when I saw the teacher's piece of paper, I really wanted to rub it up and throw it away, but I put it back anyway.
Then little Lolita ran upstairs, yelling and running upstairs to wake up Levia and Alexia...
Liu Mang's side has already set off to the arena to prepare for the game.
Woke up early in the morning, made a loving breakfast for Dinah, Levia, and Alexia, and set off for the arena at seven o'clock to prepare for the morning training.
I'm still a little shy, even though I know everything about the two beautiful girls, a 520 confession that both girls can understand is still a little shy...
...
After the first game between the Eagles and the Nets, the confidence and fighting spirit accumulated by the Nets in the second round collapsed instantly.
And it collapsed even more than before the confidence was accumulated!
After beating a strong team with 60 wins, they don't take 70 wins seriously, and feel that they play casually, but when it comes to the real fight, the whole game is crushed from the beginning to the end... Such The experience made the confidence and fighting spirit of the Nets collapse even more!
At eight o'clock in the evening, after the start of the second game, the Nets flanked Liu Mang from the very beginning.
This is predictable. Liu Mang became the fourth 50+ player among active players, and he got it in front of them. The Nets will not allow such a thing to happen again.
Coach Kruger had expected this situation a long time ago, so today the Eagles' starting lineup has changed to the previous style of play. Raheem started with a mid-range face-to-face singles!
For almost the entire season, Raheem was an off-the-ball shooter, cut, and counter-attack player. This season, until Richard Jefferson, who played 5 times against the Eagles in the last game, he was used to Raheem. Tom's style of play this season.
But choosing to play that way does not mean that Raheem will not play singles. In the regular season, he also played games with the ball. When he became the offensive arrow again, he caught the Nets by surprise!
Raheem rushed to the basket in a violent start, and dunked a dunk across Jason Collins at the beginning of the game.
After playing a few times in a row, the Nets discovered that Richard Jefferson couldn't stop Raheem! A small forward version of Garnett who has high physical fitness and is willing to play inside, but from the offensive end, he is too strong!
Raheem's unexpected start as the main attack point in the interior forced the Nets to shrink, and the Eagles' offense quickly opened up, with Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace open There are three points, mainly on Rasheed Wallace's side. After Liu Mang made a shot, Raheem passed the ball to him, and he was blocked. Liu Mang could only pass the ball to him. Rasheed Wallace, let Rasheed Wallace vote.
Coach Kruger, who has figured out the Nets' defense in the last game against the Nets, the four regular season games against the Nets, and the video of the series against the Pacers , taking advantage of Liu Mang's threat of scoring 50 points in the last game, and taking advantage of Rahim's mid-range and short-range face-to-face singles, at the beginning, the Nets' idea of actively defending and fighting a wave was shattered!
Seeing that it was useless even if he tried to defend, the Nets had no confidence at all. Kidd was desperate for Liu Mang's progress, and the Nets' defense slackened after playing.
On the offensive end of the Nets, Carter started a reckless singles!
Get 50+ in a single game of the playoffs in person! How could Carter, who also scored 50+ in the playoffs, watch Liu Mang enjoy that glory alone? He wants to come too!
However, the defense Carter faced was not the Eric Snow, Iverson, and Aaron McGee that he encountered when he played for the 76ers. -Davis is such a powerful insider.
What Carter encountered was possibly one of the best single-defense players in NBA history, and at the same time, Tyshawn Prince, who was most suitable for this loose penalty scale to the peak of NBA history!
There is Raheem double-teaming and blocking in the middle distance, and there is a female love combination of Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff waiting at the basket. Prince is tall and conscious on the outside. He was defended to death by Prince. Although Carter was the most aggressive player in the Nets team today, he played 37 minutes and only scored 27 points, 9 of 29, and his shooting percentage was only 31%. , and took 27 shots under Prince's defense, not counting the fouls caused. After Carter threw 29 times, he was so tired that when he took the last few shots, his shots were obviously soft!
The behavior of the Nets is the same as that of the Pistons. If the game is hopeless, just prevent Liu Mang! The Eagles player who the Nets players hate the most is undoubtedly Liu Mang.
Although Liu Mang only scored 15 points in this game, he had 7 assists, which was the highest for the Eagles, higher than Stockton's 5 assists and Raheem's 6 assists.
Moreover, Liu Mang almost acted as a pure shooter, and he was an off-ball shooter who was flanked. It was not bad to score 15 points, and his shooting percentage of 6 of 11 still exceeded 50%.
Raheem scored 26 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, Liu Mang scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Stockton scored 10 points and 5 assists, Boozer scored 12 points and 6 rebounds, Rasheed Wallace scored 22 With 7 rebounds and 14 points from Jason Terry, the Hawks scored in double figures and defeated the Nets again 107-83.
A big score of 2 to 0! Defeating the Nets by 17 points and 24 points respectively, this is the first time the Eagles have had such a crushing performance against the Nets in the playoffs!
...
...
On May 21st, the Eagles came to the small town of Rutherford, which has been to the town at the end of May and the beginning of June for three consecutive years, and they are already very familiar with it.
The first thing he did when he came here was that after Liu Mang arrived at the hotel and put away his luggage, he pulled Jason Terry, Boozer, Mohamed and Raheem, four young teammates who had been working together for three years. , came to the field where they once uttered bold words together.
"Hey, Michael, we're here again!" He has been here three times, and Liu Mang knows the farmer uncle who is planting sorghum.
The name of the farmer's uncle is very foreign, called Michael Bieber, a coquettish name that straddles the two worlds of style.
Michael Bieber stopped the tractor, took off his hat, waved towards Liu Mang and shouted: "Ace, long time no see, how is it, can you win this year? My grandson scolded you badly last year! "
"Haha, we are sure to win, keep busy, let's take a look!"
Liu Mang said hello to the farmer's uncle, and took his teammates for a stroll on the road beside the field.
"Ace, is that old man our fan? Isn't he from New Jersey?" Jason Terry, who is geographically blind, asked curiously.
Liu Mang used to be geographically illiterate, but he would not tell Jason Terry about it. Instead, he said arrogantly: "It's terrible to be uneducated. New Jersey is a state shared by several states, and it belongs to Philadelphia. , You don’t know this, I said Jason, if you are ugly, you should read more books, you know how to pick up girls, you know how to know female stars... Hey, what are you going to do, I am a new superstar, how can you hit me, Hey, you chased me again and I bit someone, shit, Sharif, when did you run in front of me...Yahoo..."
A certain No. 1 player who scored 51 points a few days ago and was dubbed a "new superstar" by the media, was ravaged by his teammates because of his cheap mouth...
Before winning the scoring title in the regular season, the media still did not call Liu Mang a superstar, because they still had doubts about his performance in the playoffs, but when Liu Mang scored 51 points in the Eastern Conference Finals, all doubts were dismissed. Broken!
In the eyes of the media, Liu Mang is already a superstar like Carter and Kidd!
...
Stayed in the town of Rutherford for two nights. On May 23, the Eagles ushered in their first away game against the Nets.
In the third game of the series, the Nets returned to the home court. Although they did not have the confidence to beat the Hawks, the Hawks were no longer the Hawks of last year. They had become beyond the point where they could fight. From the perspective of players who have played in the finals for two consecutive years, the strength of the Eagles this year is like that of the Lakers in 2002. They have no room to compete. Last season they could win two games against the Spurs in the finals, but This time, the Eagles had almost no power to fight back!
However, since we are returning to the home court, we have to fight hard no matter what.
After the game started, the Nets counterattacked immediately regardless of whether the Eagles could make a goal.
The Nets gave up defense and completely ran and bombed.
The idea is very good. Since they can't defend themselves, they should run and bomb to improve their offensive efficiency as much as possible. The Nets really came up with the last solution.
The Eagles were really taken aback by the Nets at the beginning. They were a little flustered at the beginning, and they got off to a 10-5 start by the Nets.
But soon the Eagles stabilized their position and replaced Ratliff with Kwame Brown. The offensive end was steady and the success rate was maintained. The defensive end retreated quickly. The speed of Wallace and Kwame Brown is not slow in their respective positions, blocking the rapid advancement of the Nets and slowly suppressing the rhythm of the Nets.
Without the three-point ability of the Splash Brothers, without the MVP as a substitute, it is too difficult for running and guns to win against a strong defensive team in the playoffs! What's more, there is also a best defensive player next to the Splash Brothers, who relies on defensive counterattacks to beat, run, bomb and throw three-pointers.
The Nets have lost their enthusiasm on the defensive end, and only think about fast breaks. When the speed of the fast breaks is curbed, the efficiency of the offensive end begins to decline, and the defensive end can't defend. The Nets return to the home court. The motivation to fight is also gradually fading, and the offensive end is not so hard, and the offensive is ended with hasty shots.
In the first quarter, the Nets could still compete with the Hawks, but they could only compete. In the second quarter, the Hawks began to take advantage. After halftime, Liu Mang scored 17 points and 4 assists to help the Hawks The team successfully opened the score to 12 points, and the Eagles ended the first half with a 12-point lead 57 to 45!
The third quarter was an opportunity for the strong team to open up the score. In the first half, they played with the motivation to return to the home court, but they didn't have confidence. They only scored 45 points after a half-time attack. The Nets completely lost their fighting spirit in the second half, and Liu Mang didn't even have that much motivation after chain death.
Liu Mang scored 11 points and 5 assists in the third quarter, Jason Terry scored 12 points, and the two led the Eagles to a 33-18 single quarter score, opening the gap to 27 points!
After three quarters, the Eagles led the Nets by 27 points 90 to 63!
Not only this game, but the whole series lost its suspense!
For the first time in Liu Mang's career, he clocked out of get off work in the three quarters of the Eastern Conference Finals.
With 28 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds, Liu Mang looked at the statistics that always drove him crazy, and really wanted to get an assist.
However, for the sake of saving face, Liu Mang could only put blood on the sidelines and put on an expression on his face that he was not happy about winning the game...
121 to 80, the point difference between the Eagles' defeat of the Nets is getting bigger and bigger, and they slaughtered the Nets with a point difference of 41 points!
