From today on is the king

Chapter 981 980. Then let's play!
"Jason, you need better judgment when you switch defenses. You should come here at this time... There was no one here just now? If there is no one, you have to go! Didn't you just cut in from here without going to Josh? If you went there, wouldn't he have no way to cut in? Josh, like Wells, has no mid-range shots. When you switch there, you can block his air-cutting route. His air-cutting route is very simple..." Mike Woodson is directing defensive training, dealing with the details of several players who are not good at defending.

Jason Terry gets the most scolding, but doesn't complain.

That's the only good thing about him. He needs to do things that he is not good at, and he is also very serious.

The fifth game was won, but the training atmosphere of the Eagles team became more tense. After returning to Atlanta for a day off on the 10th, the Eagles' training on the 11th was more serious than the previous four rest days, without any relaxation.

Confidence is a good thing, but it is not self-confidence that wins the game, but the strength of the team, as well as repeated training day after day, studying the opponent's offensive tactics, conducting targeted defense, studying the opponent's defensive tactics, and conducting targeted defeats.

Today's training intensity is not high. Tomorrow is the sixth game of the finals against the Spurs, so all the training is tactical. There are two training sessions in the morning and two training sessions in the afternoon, each training session lasts 40 minutes.

The training sessions were few and far between, but the training was very serious, and everyone put in it. They all wanted to win the championship as soon as they returned to the home court, and they couldn't give the Spurs a chance to drag the game into the tiebreaker.

The players are very passionate. They lost to the Spurs in the third and fourth games. They know that the Spurs have the strength to beat them, so they are all very serious and motivated.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the second training session in the afternoon ended. Several pitchers practiced two sets of shots. Regardless of whether they had a chance to play or not, just like in Game 1, Korver played among the pitchers. Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, and Jason Terry occupied most of the playing time in the three positions on the outside.

Kwame Brown and Mourning, Rasheed Wallace continue to study defense against Duncan, Muhammad and Josh Smith are studying defense against Bunch Wells, Liu Mang and Prince are studying defense against Ginobili...

Everyone is working hard for tomorrow's game.

At 06:30, everything that needs to be prepared is ready. After eating a nutritious meal, coach Kruger drives the players back to take a good rest and wait for tomorrow's game!

……

"Dinah, take good care of your mother and teacher, and don't run around..." Liu Mang urged seriously.

Liu Mang is very happy that the three girls insist on coming to watch the game today, but he is more worried. According to the Atlanta Daily report, hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the United States gathered in Atlanta, and 10,000+ fans took direct flights from other countries and regions outside the United States to Atlanta. Since the past few days, they have been running at high speed. The entire Atlanta metropolitan area has poured in nearly a million people in a few days. Now the streets of Atlanta are almost full of tourists and police. Insufficient.

The governor of Georgia is so tired that he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for a few days. There are more tourists, and there will be more troubles. The key is to deal with any crimes, and he has to assist the US diplomatic department to communicate with other countries’ embassies and foreign ministries.

However, the high-level government officials in the entire Georgia state are very excited. The opportunity to generate income for the entire Atlanta metropolitan area and promote tourism resources in various parts of Georgia once a year is both painful and happy. This is a political achievement!
During this period, San Niu must come to watch the game live. Liu Mang could only have the cheek to ask for a box in the arena. There are multiple screens and multiple angles to watch the game and windows to watch the scene directly. Let San Niu, mainly the pregnant Alexia, and the fans who are now in the frenzy period squeeze together in the auditorium to watch the game. Liu Mang felt that he was too uneasy.

When Liu Mang went to the accountant to ask for a private room, the accountant asked him to go to the boss, Steven Price. Liu Mang could see Steven Price's heartbroken expression. A private room for the finals cost tens of thousands of dollars.

As for paying to buy... Liu Mang said that he can get something, why spend money...

Little Lolita listened obediently to Liu Mang's mother-in-law's babbling. After Liu Mang finished speaking, Little Lolita said, "Uncle...won the MVP of the finals today, the trophy..."

"All right, all right, it's all yours, be obedient..."

"Uncle is the best..."

Looking at the trophy control of Little Lolita, Liu Mang felt helpless. Speaking of the room of honor, Liu Mang also thought it was pretty good. Every time friends came to his house, Little Lolita would take them to have a look.

Thinking of the scenes where some people are envious and some people are stimulated to the heart, Liu Mang is quite happy.

Liu Mang himself didn't think about how to place those trophies, so he just gave them to Little Lolita.

On June 2005, 6, the sixth game of the finals arrived as scheduled.

Liu Mang asked the staff and team security to send San Niu and bodyguard Christine Wagner to the box, and then walked to the player tunnel. The pre-match preparations were about to begin. Liu Mang told San Niu after the pre-match warm-up training, and was about to enter the field to start the game.

……

……

The whole city was going crazy. Most of the fans who didn't buy tickets were stationed in bars in Atlanta and surrounding cities, and in the plaza of the Phillips Mall outside the Phillips Arena. Now tens of thousands of fans were also gathered, waiting for the live broadcast of the game on the big screen.

Those who were able to watch the game at the scene were naturally more fanatical. When the Spurs players came out, everyone received courtesy from the Eagles fans. The boos at the scene almost hurt their eardrums.

When the Eagles players came out, the scene immediately turned into cheers.

It didn't take Rasheed Wallace to inspire the enthusiasm of the fans. When the players of the two teams entered the field, the atmosphere of the scene had already exploded.

Michael Jordan, Dominic Wilkins, Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...etc. The superstars of the 80s were invited by the Eagles to watch the game.

Michael Jordan now sees Liu Mang and Kwame Brown, no matter how he sees him, he is pleasing to the eye. Kwame Brown has been recognized by the media and fans, and he has been selected to the best team, which proves his "sight" and made his reputation change. When Liu Mang and Kwame Brown went to say hello to him, Boss Joe patted Kwame Brown on the back and said: "I knew you were great back then, but unfortunately I am too old. If only I could grow up with you slowly like Ace..."

Hearing this, Liu Mang looked at Kwame Brown and then at Jordan. He always felt that the two looked alike...but he didn't dare to say it out, otherwise Kwame Brown would have killed him, not to mention Jordan...

Anfernee Hardaway, DiBacon Mutombo, Shaq O'Neal... Many former superstars and superstars who entered the NBA in the early 90s also came to watch the game. Seeing how the Spurs lost, O'Neal was very excited. Anyway, Miami is not far from here, so he made a special trip to Atlanta to watch the game live.

O'Neal extremely does not want Duncan to win the third championship, so that the number of championships between the two will be tied.

O'Neill doesn't care about O'Neal on the outside, but on the inside, especially Duncan, who has competed with him for so many years, O'Neal doesn't want Duncan to catch up with his number of championships.

There are also some stars from the entertainment industry who come to watch the game live, and the live broadcast footage from nearly [-] countries and regions in the United States and the world is very useful to them, and they can be listed on the entertainment news homepage.

However, these people were not locked in by the camera for the most time among the stars who came to watch the game. The one who got the most shots was Bill Russell who would go to the best position on the sidelines to watch the game after the finals every year.
Bill Russell has so many rings on his hands that he can't fit one of them. He wears two championship rings on his index finger, which is so coquettish.

Together with a few teammates, he greeted celebrities, football stars, and some celebrities. Liu Mang went to the field to practice shooting, the final warm-up, and the game was about to start in ten minutes.

After a day of rest, a day of preparations, and a day of pre-match preparations, Liu Mang is fully prepared.

Although it is said that it is up to people to make things happen, it is up to God to plan, plan, prepare, and work hard, which is the most critical part. Otherwise, God will give you a face, and if you don't work hard, it will be useless after all.

But now the opportunity for consecutive championships is in front of me. I have already tied the total score to 3 to 2, and I still have two home court advantages. I have both the right time and the right place. In terms of players, my side is no worse than the Spurs.

Just when Liu Mang was practicing mid-range shooting, a paralyzed man wearing a No. 21 jersey came to Liu Mang's side. When Liu Mang made one shot, he took one.

Liu Mang glanced at the idiot next to him, good guy, it's really accurate!Liu Mang competed with the No. 21 player, and the two shot consecutively for 5 minutes...

Of course, at this stage, the accuracy of No. 21 facial paralyzed CIC is not as accurate as when he averaged 06 to 21 mid-range shots per game after the CIC Dacheng in [-]. He was defeated by Liu Mang.

For No. 21 with facial paralysis, every time he met Liu Mang, he was nervous, and the Eagles players did not drive him away. Every time he was driven away, he held the ball like someone bullied him.

The fans at the scene are also used to it, but the fans in front of the TV rarely see this kind of thing. After all, the Spurs have few live broadcasts. Their number of live broadcasts in the defending champion season does not exceed ten times. This kind of second-year performance is very rare. The fans found that apart from Duncan's strength, his personality seems to be different from what he imagined...

……

At 29:2004 p.m., with Rasheed Wallace roaring, Liu Mang threw chalk into the air, and Game 2005 of the [-]-[-] NBA Finals officially kicked off!

The Eagles continued to send Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

On the Spurs side, Popovich really didn't know how the Eagles were going to play. They focused on stability, and the strongest defensive combination of Parker, Ginobili, Horry, Duncan, and Nesterovic started.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball. Tim Duncan had to lament his serious injury five years ago.

After Duncan's habitual jump ball lost to Kwame Brown, he sighed while retreating quickly.

The Spurs have the calmest mentality, or Duncan. He has already achieved fame. After winning the second championship in 03, he has already established the title of the number one power forward in NBA history. Even if he retires immediately, there is no power forward in NBA history.

The key is that he is only 29 years old. With his talent, hard work and basic skills, he now feels that his dynamic physical fitness has begun to decline sharply due to a serious injury five years ago. It is easy to change his style of play. He is not worried about his future at all.

The main reason is that Duncan knows that he is only 29 years old and has a long future ahead of him. He doesn't have the kind of anger he felt after Kawhi Leonard missed two free throws in Game 37 of the Finals at the age of [-] and lost the championship.

Of course, the more aware of his current situation, the more focused and calm Duncan will be, knowing that there is no rush and he must play at his best.

Duncan followed Rasheed Wallace to the right corner, ready to defend the middle at any time, with a stable mentality and a stable style of play.

However, Duncan's calm mind does not mean that the rest of the Spurs can be so calm.

After Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, Ginobili retreated to the three-point line to defend. He was already about to collapse by Liu Mang's breakthrough. He lost the last game, and this was his main problem.

Liu Mang took a step outside the three-point line, saw Ginobili standing inside the three-point line, did not give the ball to McGrady, followed the momentum of advancement without hesitation, and shot directly from the three-point line!
"Ding... the sharpshooter is triggered at level 5, and the host's shooting rhythm is perfect..."

Before the game, he competed with Duncan to practice shooting. Liu Mang feels good now. In the sixth second of the game, he directly threw a three-pointer!

The game only started 8 seconds after the ball went into the basket. Liu Mang, who didn't play fast break, scored 8 points in 3 seconds!
