Becoming the third victim of 60 points in a single game in the playoffs in history, the Pistons went crazy when they saw Liu Mang receiving the ball. Liu Mang received the ball with his back in the high post and made good use of this position to attract the defense and

This position provides vision from both sides. In the second game, he was transformed from a scorer to a high-position setter, helping McGrady organize the offense.

The Pistons focused on defense and pressing the rhythm in this game, but no matter how much the coaching staff emphasized on Liu Mang's defense, they couldn't help but attack Liu Mang.

It turned into an assist, but Tracy McGrady would pass the ball to him. Liu Mang would catch the ball and tear apart the opponent's defense in half!

On the other hand, the Pistons' offense began to sluggish, and there was a feeling of frustration. The shots that should have been missed were not made, and they could only rely on defense to prevent the score difference from being completely widened.

At the end of the half, the Eagles led 47 to 38 by 9 points, mainly because it was very stable! The Eagles were inspired with the strongest fighting spirit and unprecedented emphasis on the Pistons, and played a solid offense and defense.

No nonsense.

Only halfway through the game, Pistons head coach Flip Saunders was criticized by Barkley, saying that he destroyed the Pistons in the last game by desperately trying to win.

Kenny Smith is relatively professional and thinks there is nothing wrong with Coach Sanders' approach. In the past three years when the Pistons played against the Hawks, one characteristic was that no matter how well they played in the regular season, they would be beaten to death when they met the Hawks.

.

If they still maintain the same style of play and the mentality of wanting to win steadily, the Pistons have no chance of beating the Hawks. Coach Sanders’ approach is correct in Kenny Smith’s view. Instead of dying slowly, it is better to inspire

The players had the strongest morale. They tried their best to win their first victory in one go and gain confidence, but they were defeated by the Hawks. The Pistons' desperate style of play failed and completely failed!

In this game, the Pistons completely lost the energy they had in the first game, while the Hawks were aroused by the Pistons in the first game and had the strongest desire to win, playing extremely well on both offense and defense.

The game seemed very dull. The Hawks attached great importance to the Pistons, so they played a solid defense. On the offensive end, Liu Mang also focused on passing the ball, taking advantage of the Pistons' defensive tendencies to slowly wear down the position, so the game was very dull.

In the end, this game that made the fans sleepy finally came to an end. The Eagles held on to a 10-point deficit at 97-85 and ended the game.

Liu Mang scored 18 points and 9 assists, Tracy McGrady had 17 points and 7 assists, Jason and Terry scored 15 points, Kwame Brown had 13 points, and Persson had 9 points. Four of the Eagles scored in double figures and steadily defeated the Pistons.

Won two consecutive victories.

Coach Sanders understood the source of the despair expressed by Pistons players.

Just as Kenny Smith analyzed during the game, he wanted to use the first game to boost morale, but unfortunately failed.

In the first game, Coach Sanders took advantage of their familiarity with the Eagles' characteristics against the Eagles, but in the second game, he found that the Eagles were more familiar with them! That sense of stability made people feel desperate!

Even Liu Mang didn't say anything about Delfino's foul in the last game. He used Delfino to defend Liu Mang, but Liu Mang broke into the paint and caused Bosh to foul. Coach Sanders deliberately did not let Delfino in.

Apologizing in front of the media and letting Delfino, a sunny boy in Argentina's golden generation, be criticized by the media was just to anger Liu Mang, but Liu Mang was not affected at all and played the most stable game with the most correct defense.

The opponent has learned a lot from beating them!

You are not afraid of losing miserably, but you are afraid of the feeling of being held in the palm of your opponent's hand! Coach Sanders has nothing to do, and even a clever woman can't make a meal out of nothing! The lineup is only five powerful, and the morale is gone...

Liu Mang met the third Pistons head coach in his career, and once again he jumped into the street...

The first game was so exciting and the fans were so excited, but the second game was dull and the Eagles just won. The fans didn’t know what to say. The discussion about the Eastern Conference Finals on the Internet was so hot that everyone except Liu Mang

That thing about 60 points suddenly became cool...

It's so different, the Eagles' games always exceed people's expectations.

ESPN and Time Warner, which grabbed the rights to broadcast the Eagles' Eastern Conference Finals series, didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Their ratings in the second game reached a new high in the playoffs this season, but in the next two games

...They all felt the despair of the Pistons, and the ratings absolutely plummeted...

Everything is so familiar, it has always been like this in the past few years...

…

…

The day after the Hawks finished Game 2, May 17, the day of Game 2 of the series between the Suns and the Spurs, the Hawks had already boarded an 8:40 a.m. flight to Detroit.

Today is the time to announce the All-NBA Team and the All-Defensive Team, but they are already on the plane, and they will not know the results until they arrive in Detroit.

For McGrady, this feeling is like the feeling of waiting for the draw after buying a lottery ticket with a lot of money, and he is not able to know the result immediately, which makes him feel itchy.

On the plane, McGrady sat next to Liu Mang and asked again: "Ace, do you think I have a chance to be selected for the first team?"

"You can't be selected! You're just the third guard! Do you want me to tell the truth?" Liu Mang couldn't bear it any longer. He asked this question no less than ten times this morning.

"..." Tracy McGrady felt that his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe. Don't be so direct. Why don't you try to comfort him like he did a few times before? He also knew that he couldn't compete with Liu Mang or Nash.

At this time, Coach Kruger, who was next to the window on the right, took over the conversation: "Tracy, you still have a chance?"

Maddie smiled coquettishly: "Coach, you don't need to comfort me, I know."

"No, I'm not trying to comfort you," Coach Kruger took out the 439-man NBA roster that he received when voting yesterday. "Although I don't know if the list of players for the best team is the same, I voted for the best.

When I was selected for the best defensive team, your name was among the forwards, and I gave you a vote. You did a good job defensively this year."

"Huh?" Liu Mang took the list and looked at it. It was true! This guy... It seems that the All-Star was also placed as a forward. So it is possible that his team has two first-team players?

McGrady snatched the list of players for the Best Defensive Team voting from Liu Mang and found the names of players starting with T from the forwards. He really was himself! McGrady fell into ecstasy!

…

When he arrived at the hotel in Detroit, McGrady couldn't wait to borrow Liu Mang's computer and opened the homepage of the NBA's official website. The headlines were the winners of the Best Team and the Best Defensive Team.

Liu Mang was unanimously selected into the first team of the All-NBA Team and received a perfect score of 500 points!

Steve Nash, on the other hand, scored 471 points and only received 91 first-place votes!

McGrady scored 416 points and Tim Duncan, who scored 405 points, was selected to the first team together!

O'Neal is still stable at the center position, with 466 points and was selected for the first team.

For the second team, six people were selected: Iverson, Francis, Raheem, Nowitzki, Garnett, and Stoudemire. Garnett and Raheem both received 297 points, tied.

The forward received the fourth vote, and Stoudemire was placed at center.

For most players, the best team and the best defensive team cannot increase their popularity. They are not as useful as All-Star substitutes, but for the popular stars, they have a great effect. This kind of award is used to increase their popularity.

The popularity of the stars has become higher, so Tracy McGrady and Stoudemire have been put in more favorable positions.

Tracy McGrady was placed at the forward position to avoid competing with Liu Mang and Nash. Stoudemire was placed at the forward position and couldn't compete with those big guys. But when placed at the center, relying on his record and data, Yao Ming and Ben Wallace were both

He can't shake his second formation.

Billups, Wade, Kobe, James, Bosh, Yao Ming, and Ben Wallace were selected to the third team together. Yao Ming and Ben Wallace received equal votes, and Kobe and Billups received the same votes and were selected together.

They were selected to the third team, tying the NBA's historical record of seven people selected to the All-NBA team. However, the historical record was seven people selected to the second team. There was no third team at that time, and the competition for the best team was even more intense.

After two years, McGrady was once again selected for the first round, and he almost cried... I feel so sad! Looking at the excited cheering teammates behind him, he silently covered the wallet in his chest and pocket...

I am happy, but after being happy, my wallet hurts...

In terms of the best defensive team, Larry Hughes, Prince, Garnett, Duncan, and Ben Wallace won the award together.

Without Bowen, Artest blew himself up, and Prince finally got a taste of defense.

Liu Mang was also happy for Prince, but when he saw the second defense, he was unexpected!

The center selected for the second defense was Marcus Camby, which was no problem. Unfortunately, Kwame Brown lost to Camby, who ranked second in blocks, by 11 points.

The forwards of the second defense, Kirilenko and Shawn Marion, were selected.

The selection of Shawn Marion is an anomaly in the Suns, but his defensive efficiency is so good that it is almost catching up with Duncan. Marion's defensive efficiency this season is 5.6, Duncan is 5.7, and Garnett is 5.9...

…

The guards on the second defense are amazing, their scores are extremely low! Kidd, Wade, and Billups, the three major point guards all scored 68 points and were tied for the second defense spot. Liu Mang scored 43 points and was selected for the second defense spot.

Another guard spot...

This year, the coaches voted for the best defensive team. The defenders scored 5 points, 3 points, and 2 points. Three votes were multiplied by two. The defenders had a total of 600 points. 6 people were voted out of the 4 spots...

Liu Mang felt that he had completely taken advantage of him!

If Wade, Billups, or Kidd get one less vote, even the third vote, those three people will not be affected, but Liu Mang will not be selected for the second defense!

Liu Mang remembered something. When he saw his teammates making a fuss around McGrady, he decisively wanted to turn off the computer and leave.

At this time, Kwame Brown, who had seen that he was not in the center position of the second defense at the top, was unwilling to come up and watch it again, and happened to see Liu Mang being selected for the second defense with 39 points.

Kwame Brown is vomiting blood!

The center position has a total of 300 points. Ben Wallace was unanimously selected for the first defense. With 150 points left, he scored 52 points and failed to enter the second defense. He lost to Camby who scored 63 points.

And Liu Mang only scored 39 points, and he was actually selected for the second defense!

"Boss! The world is so unfair! I have 13 points more than you, why are you on the second defense and I lost?" Kwame Brown shouted miserably.

Is there any more justice?

You call me a hammer! Liu Mang really wants to kick this bastard to death! He would have known better not to play with this bastard!

The teammates who were originally discussing with McGrady about what fun they were looking for in the summer suddenly focused their attention on Liu Mang...Liu Mang felt the same as McGrady. He was not happy to be selected for the second defense, but a surprise! But in his heart...
Chapter completed!
