From today on is the king

Chapter 1153 1152. Even the Texas Duo!

129 to 112, the Eagles beat the Mavericks and won four consecutive victories.

Liu Mang was also a little regretful that he didn't see the Mavericks just arrived at the end. The western part of this time and space is very different from the original time and space, and Liu Mang couldn't predict what the outcome of the western part would be.

The Spurs who didn’t feel slack when they didn’t win the championship, Kobe who got a super center in his peak period, and the Mavericks who are still strong, which of the three teams can have the last laugh. Anyway, the last ten games of the Eagles and two of these three teams must be the last match of the season.

However, the Mavericks gave up strategically. After Liu Mang opened the point difference to 21 points, he had already expected it.

There is nothing wrong with the Mavericks’ strategic abandonment. The coaches brought out by the old Nelson are relatively utilitarian and very good. Popovich and the young general Johnson are considered from the perspective of the team’s playoffs. If it does not affect their playoff rankings, they will even take the initiative to lose.

To avenge the Mavericks, the Eagles won 4 consecutive victories.

On the second day after the game, the Eagles immediately flew to San Antonio, where they will rest for one night, and challenge the Spurs away on the 31st.

With 66 wins and 7 losses, 73 games have been played, and there are still nine games before the playoffs. The atmosphere of the Eagles' playoffs is getting stronger and stronger.

In the afternoon in San Antonio, Liu Mang, McGrady, Calderon, and Iguodala, the four main ball handlers, were called by the coaching staff to the conference room of the hotel, where they discussed the issue of the playoffs with the coaching staff.

The Eagles have locked in the first place in the league. Although there is still a small goal in the regular season, the focus is on the playoffs. Once there is any problem at the end of the regular season, the Eagles coaching staff will decisively give up the goal of breaking the historical record and focus on the playoffs.

The start time of the Eagles' playoffs has been determined. On April 4, they will start their first playoff game with the eighth team in the Eastern Conference this season, as the opening game of the playoffs.

As for the eighth opponent, the Eagles are not particularly concerned, the focus is on the opponents in the second round and the Eastern Conference Finals.

The opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is most likely to be the Heat. The Pistons are now rooted in the third place in the East purely relying on their strong lineup. It seems difficult to win the Heat, which was heavily reinforced last summer.

As for the opponent in the second round, it's hard to say.

The main reason is that Liu Wei thinks that the Cavaliers will not be too bad in the playoffs. Regardless of who ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference for the 76ers and the Nets, Liu Wei doesn't think they are sure of winning.

What impressed Liu Mang deeply about James in the original time and space was that he had never been eliminated in the first round. He played in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and he beat Arenas out of psychological barriers. Arenas had already led the team to the second round in the 04-05 season in the original time and space.

However, the 76ers and the Nets are not wizards. Iverson and Kidd are not so fragile. In addition to Iverson's change of play and Webber who averaged 20+9+3 per game at the tail end of the peak, Kidd also has Carter who is not injured.

Even if James usually performs better in the playoffs than in the regular season, Liu Mang can't predict the outcome of the Cavaliers' encounter with these two teams.

The Eagles coaching staff didn't want to guess the playoff goals through a simple meeting. The NBA is not without upsets.

There will be many such meetings, and they will definitely come every three to five times. They will not be finalized until the end of the regular season, and if there are any changes in the playoffs, they will be adjusted immediately according to the changes.

……

On the last day of March, the Hawks came to the ATT Center to prepare for a game against the Spurs after a night off in San Antonio.

For the Spurs, the schedule at the end of the season is not so friendly. When the Eagles came to San Antonio yesterday, they had just gone to New Orleans to play against the Hornets. They won the game and increased their wins to 55 wins, which further stabilized their No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

By the end of the season, the Hawks finally enjoyed the early-season feeling of being comfortable against opponents with poor schedules.

The schedule of the first loose, the middle tight and the later loose, survived the most difficult stage, and then the sea and the sky let the birds fly!

Popovich feels very incomprehensible to Liu Mang's continuous evolution year after year.

How can someone improve all the time?
In Liu Mang's rookie season, Popovich wanted to include him in the team. He originally wanted to use the Wizards' trick to poach Arenas, but in the summer of 03, the Eagles announced that they had extended Liu Mang's rookie contract for one year.

Even the initial offer from the Rockets to Yao Ming was not a maximum salary. Until Yao Ming’s showdown negotiation, the Rockets were still expecting that Yao Ming would not renew his contract with a maximum salary...

The Eagles would rather let Liu Mang get the maximum salary from the fourth grade, and it is a long-term contract with the maximum salary. They would rather give Liu Mang more in the second contract than other teams can offer contracts similar to Arenas, and give Liu Mang more than 50.00% of the salary he can get in other teams every year.

Now Popovich feels that he still underestimated Liu Mang's expectations.

In the last match, Liu Mang's miraculous three-pointer made Popovich feel like he would be killed in 39 seconds every time he played against Liu Mang...

……

At 06:30 in the evening, the game between the Eagles and the Spurs officially began.

This time, it was finally the Eagles' turn to play as the more prepared team, while the Spurs played back-to-backs with little time to prepare.

After the start of the game, the Spurs were afraid of Liu Mang's three-pointers, and they were very tight on defense. Liu Mang used his three-pointers to get a lot of opportunities to break through to mid-range jumpers, forcing the Spurs to start attacking him at mid-range.

If you can prevent Liu Mang's three-pointer, you can't prevent Liu Mang's breakthrough. If Liu Mang is only allowed to go to the three-pointer position that he is not particularly good at, Liu Mang is not like before the Spurs.If you enter, you win, if you don't enter the defense, it's fine.

Playing against the Spurs, Liu Mang hit more and more waves!

The Spurs fought and were forced to enter the mode of encountering Nowitzki and Kobe. Either they were killed by a mid-range flanker, or they were killed by a mid-range shot by Liu Mang.

After the All-Star Weekend, Liu Mang's shooting got better and better, and his state became better and better. Part of the reason was that his physical talent had been strengthened. Although the training in the middle of the season failed to improve his mid-range shot, it made him better at maintaining the stability of his mid-range shot.

In addition to Liu Mang, Jason Terry, who is in good form, also shot flying today, and Tracy McGrady, who hated Duncan for not going to the Magic and faced the Spurs with a 7-game losing streak during the Orlando Magic period and was very excited to play against the Spurs, also went crazy today.

Liu Mang hardly got three-point chances, but he had a lot of chances for mid-range shots. He passed the ball when he was flanking, and decisively played one-on-one mid-range singles without flanking. He made 21 of 11 shots in the game, made 7 mid-range shots and 1 three-pointer, 3 layups, 6 of 5 free throws, and scored 28 points in the game. In addition, he also had 12 assists!
There are more three-point opportunities for McGrady, and the height advantage is obvious. When he wants to play, any position is a three-point opportunity. The audience made 11 of 5 three-pointers and 16 of 8 shots. He scored 23 points steadily.

Jason Terry also scored 21 points, and Mitaka scored 72 points together!
The Mihawks were able to shoot accurately from mid-to-long distances. The Spurs' defense focused on the outside defense. Liu Mang passed a lot of balls to the cutting Kwame Brown, Josh Smith, and Iguodala.

On the Spurs side, although Duncan's smile is still warm, Ginobili, who has poor physical fitness, played poorly in this game.

Rao Duncan scored 27 points and 12 rebounds steadily, and also got 6 assists at the same time. Sprewell and Finley both scored 15 points, but they couldn't save the defeat.

Parker scored 7 points in 2 of 6, and Ginobili scored 9 points in 2 of 5. It was too hurt for the Spurs. No matter how good the role players were, but the two of the three cores added up to 11 points.
109 to 91, the Eagles beat the Spurs lightly and won 5 consecutive victories.

67 wins and 7 losses, with 8 games left!
……

The Mavericks and the Spurs were pressed and rubbed by the Eagles one after another, which made the fans who had great expectations for these two teams to beat the Eagles feel a little overwhelmed!
The Eagles have won 67 games!

As long as the Eagles win 5 games in the next eight games, they can tie the record of the Bulls, and if they win 6 games, they can break the record!

The media naturally found Boss Joe, who was trying to buy most of the shares of the Bobcats by taking advantage of the team's weakness to lower the price.

Boss Joe’s expression was not very good when he was interviewed, but he still managed to smile: “Records are always broken. My six championships, two three-peat titles, and six Finals MVPs will all be broken one day.

Returning to Atlanta the next day after playing against the Spurs, Liu Mang can finally rest for two days. On the 3rd, he will play the last regular season match against the Cavaliers this season.

So when Liu Mang was drinking afternoon tea, he saw Boss Qiao frantically implying that he was the MVP of the six finals...

With Boss Qiao's appearance, normal people can tell that Boss Qiao is very upset.

But Liu Mang can't control the teacher's thoughts anymore, the strongest challenge is the most enjoyable.

There will be games against the Cavaliers, 76ers, Suns, and Lakers next, 11 games in 4 days, a beautiful schedule.

Liu Mang finally had enough time to study his opponent and make preparations.

On April 4st, Liu Mang returned to Atlanta and rejected ESPN's invitation to record a live broadcast. He really didn't care about that this year. 1 wins mattered!

Boss Qiao's star card from 95-96 makes his mouth water when he thinks of Liu Mang.

……

……

On April 4, the day before the Hawks and Cavaliers played against each other for the fourth time this season, James and his teammates came to this sad city.

It's time to play the Eagles again, James feels like a delicate flower growing in the cold wind, bearing the uncontrollable beauty of the prosperous age, someone always wants to play with him...
