1554. After the regular season, the Wild West!(1/2)
There is no other way, the Eagles can only play defense, or they should rest the three main defensive players and play defense in a disadvantaged situation.
The first quarter was okay. The lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Mason, Grant Hill, and Kwame Brown had just one quarter, and the opponent was tied at 18 in a bloody battle.
But in the second quarter, the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Finley, Scola, and Brad Miller came up...
The defensive effect is simply amazing.
The Eagles have to rotate like this. Grant Hill is so old. Even if the defensive effect is good, he cannot be used to death. Not everyone is Thibodeau.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Eagles could only attack aggressively.
The Eagles started the second quarter at a defensive disadvantage...
After beating and beating, Liu Mang started to get angry!
This time Liu Mang did not deliberately try to block shots, but instead went around desperately trying to cover up all the loopholes.
Of course, this is impossible. If a big player with similar defensive strength guards the inside, he can do better. But no matter how good Liu Mang's defense is, he is still an outside player...
There were more blocks and more steals, but it still failed to produce a qualitative change in defense. There is still a big difference in the defensive role of the inside and outside line.
In the end, the Eagles lost the second game of back-to-back games by 6 points, 85-91.
but……
Liu Mang’s data explosion!
It seems like there is only a double-double, but... 17 points, 10 blocks, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Liu Mang is one steal away, which is 5 times 5!
In fact, if you include Liu Mang’s 6 turnovers and 5 fouls in this game, it’s already 6 times 5...
Liu Mang blocked double figures for the third time in his career!
It's a pity that today's offense was mediocre, with only 6 assists and not enough rebounds...
but……
After this game, Liu Mang's average blocks per game increased to 3.02! Just over 3 blocks per game!
On Garnett's side, although he also had 4 blocks today, he only returned to averaging 2.85 blocks per game. Instead, Liu Mang opened the distance even further!
Liu Mang played a full 48 minutes in today's game. Although he lost, he showed people that he is more than just a shot-blocker.
Liu Mang's enthusiasm on the defensive end is amazing. He had his second-worst shooting performance of the season, 5 of 25... He shot 20 irons, which was only slightly better than the 23 irons he played against the Rockets.
But the desperate defense in 48 minutes really surprised many fans who came to watch the battle between Liu Mang and Garnett for the block title.
It's a pity that with such data, the Eagles still lost.
…
…
After trying his best, Liu Mang was still unable to sweep the Bulls in the regular season. Liu Mang was a little depressed and helpless.
Liu Mang couldn't understand what the god Thibodeau was thinking.
In Liu Mang's memory, which is no longer particularly clear, it seems that Thibodeau has not made any changes to his coaching no matter how many stars he plays with.
"The Wolfberry brothers are still smart! They have 150 million to play health basketball, so they are not ruined by Thibodeau. If they play hard according to Thibodeau's ideas, let Thibodeau achieve a record..."
After losing to the Bulls in the second back-to-back game, the Hawks completely lost hope of winning 70 games.
Now the Eagles are 67 wins and 13 losses, with two games left. At most, they are tied for fourth place in history with 69 wins.
However, the Eagles have already secured the regular season championship, so there is no big problem.
Now all we have to do is guard against Garnett blocking shots in the remaining two games!
…
On April 15th and April 17th, the last two games of the Eagles' third consecutive season, Liu Mang averaged 4 blocks, which was not much, but he steadily maintained an average of 3 blocks per game.
data.
Played against the Celtics and defeated the opponent 106 to 99. The Celtics really wanted to beat the Eagles, but they failed.
Conley performed well today, scoring 15 points and 10 assists, his 11th double-double of the season. Pierce also had 35 points. However, the Hawks played all the main players in the last two games and played honestly on both the offensive and defensive ends. Liu Mang
The reason why he didn't block many shots was because Coach Kruger was a little angry.
Playing the Heat in the final game...the Heat voluntarily gave up. The Heat currently have 16 wins and the Pacers have 15 wins. The Heat want to lose more.
With 16 points, 19 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks, Liu Mang passed the ball and assisted. The Hawks slaughtered the Heat with a score difference of 133 to 91, 42 points, and won the final game of the regular season!
…
…
On April 18th, it was like Christmas in Atlanta, with shopping malls all over the city holding big sales.
Of course, he is borrowing from the Eagles.
69 wins and 13 losses!
After a year, the Eagles once again won the first place in the Eastern Conference!
In seven seasons, the Hawks have won the first place in the Eastern Conference 5 times and the regular season championship 4 times!
The last time a team won four regular season championships in 10 years was the Spurs a few years from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century!
The Spurs began to win the regular season championship in the second year after having Duncan. They were also the regular season champion in the previous 1994-95 season, plus 2001, 2003, and 1999, four regular season championships in 10 years.
Championship, 6-time Western Conference Champion...
In terms of stability, the East Eagle and the West Thorn each dominate one side!
If you want a championship, you need a championship, you need stability, you need stability, you need explosive records and explosive records... Atlanta fans began to spend money to celebrate that the home team won another regular season championship and refreshed the third-highest regular season record in team history.
On the night when the Hawks defeated the Heat yesterday, the regular seasons of all NBA teams also ended one after another.
In the East, the Hawks are ranked first with 69 wins and 13 losses, the Raptors are ranked second with 61 wins and 21 losses, the Magic are ranked third with 57 wins and 25 losses, the Bulls are ranked fourth with 54 wins and 28 losses, and the Cavaliers are ranked fourth.
The team ranked fifth with 52 wins and 30 losses, the Bobcats ranked sixth with 42 wins and 40 losses, the 76ers counterattacked all the way, ranking seventh with 38 wins and 44 losses, and the Nets ranked eighth with 34 wins and 48 losses.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Except for the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, which have less than 20 wins, the ninth to thirteenth teams all have between 25 and 33 wins. Compared to the teams at the bottom of the Western Conference
, it looks much more "powerful".
Who said the Western Conference...can't even make the playoffs with 50 wins!
Can you imagine a 55-win team not finishing in the top four in the conference?
The West has done it.
Can a 50-win team make the playoffs?
The West has done it too!
Except for the Spurs, who mysteriously reached another peak and set the best record in team history with a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, there is no other 60-win team in the Western Conference.
But there are eight 50-win teams...
The Lakers, second in the Western Conference, have 56 wins and 26 losses, which is the same as the Hornets, third in the Western Conference, with 56 wins. However, the Lakers have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss against the Hornets in the regular season this season. The Lakers suppressed the Hornets head-on.
Kobe also played against the Hornets on April 15 with 33 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, firmly beating Paul.
The Nuggets, fourth in the Western Conference, have 54 wins and 28 losses, and the Suns, fifth in the Western Conference, have 55 wins and 27 losses. Who calls the Nuggets first in the Northwest Division?
The Jazz in sixth place had 53 wins and 29 losses, and the Rockets in seventh place had 52 wins and 30 losses.
The Mavericks were 51-31 and defeated the Trail Blazers, who were 50-32, to reach the playoffs. That was a risk. Last season's regular season champion almost missed the playoffs in the new season.
On the Trail Blazers side, they cleared out all the people from the Portland prison era, with Roy and Aldridge as the core, and traded potential rookie Thaddeus Young from the 76ers for Haitian big center Dailem.
Porter had an amazing season and achieved an excellent record of 50 wins and 32 losses, but he did not make the playoffs!
But correspondingly, the Timberwolves, who are last in the Western Conference, have 13 wins and 69 losses...the Grizzlies, who are second from last, have 20 wins and 62 losses, the Kings, who are third from last, with 21 wins and 61 losses, and the Sonics, who are fourth from last, with 22 wins and 60 losses.
burden……
The record of the bottom four teams in the Western Conference is ridiculously bad.
…
On the evening of April 18, Liu Mang participated in the team's regular season championship celebration banquet, and the fans' care activities drew three front-row season tickets for the fans.
The celebration banquet is over, and the regular season is truly over.
This year's schedule for the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs makes every team very satisfied.
The regular season ends on the 17th and the playoffs begin on the 22nd.

The matchup situation in the first round of the playoffs has also been revealed. The Eagles will play the Nets again...
The Raptors play the 76ers, the Magic play the Bobcats, and the Bulls play the Cavaliers.
In the West, the Spurs play the Mavericks, the Lakers play the Rockets, the Hornets play the Jazz, and the Suns play the Nuggets.
After returning home, Liu Mang looked at the playoff schedule and matchup list announced on the NBA official website in the afternoon. He felt that he wanted to watch every series in the Western Conference!
