The second round of the playoffs is in full swing.

The first two games of each series have basically set the tone for the second round. Today there are two completely unpredictable second rounds.

It’s really hard to talk about competitions.

The Bulls won the first home game very reliably. Before the second home game, everyone thought the Bulls would securely take a 2-0 lead. The Eagles could only find a way to drag the game back to home.

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

But unexpectedly, the Bulls were scored by Liu Mang for 65 points, allowing the Hawks to set a new high for the Bulls in points lost in the playoffs this season.

After the dance ended, amid the endless shouts of the fans at the scene, the referee silently urged the players of the two teams to hurry up and play.

McGrady, who was still a little reluctant to give up, took off her dance clothes under the dark expression of Coach Kruger, and went on the court to shoot hot shots.

By 7:30, the Bulls players, who were extremely angry, and the Eagles players, who were trying to adjust their emotions back to game state, started the third game of the series.

When people thought that the Eagles, who had already won 1-1, would return to home court and pursue the victory, the Eagles gave up their home court advantage 82-91.

The Eagles, who returned to their home court, had a rough start. They only scored 9 points in the first quarter. The Eagles, who tried to use Liu Mang's inside singles as the starting tactic, made a mistake in this choice and did not win the last game as expected.

The key to the ball is strengthened.

Another key point is that Liu Mang's dance before the game gave Tracy McGrady the title of "Latin Dance King" and became the fourth greatest dance king in the NBA after Liu Mang, Prince, and James. However, the Bulls

That team played the craziest defense in this year's playoffs.

Trailing 9-20 by 11 points in the first quarter, the Eagles were passive throughout the game. Although Liu Mang scored 11 points in the third quarter and Jason Terry and McGrady combined for 20 points in the fourth quarter, they could not save the defeat.

With 18 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Liu Mang only made 6 of 24 shots in the game. The key reason for losing this game was Liu Mang.

Of course, Liu Mang also took the initiative to take responsibility after the game.

"It would be nice if I could vote for a few more..."

Liu Mang's words should have made the headlines. Even if Liu Mang didn't make the headlines, the Bulls should have made the headlines in the away game.

But this time, it was the "Latin Dance King" that made the headlines...

…

The Nuggets easily defeated the Warriors 3-0, 121-111 away from home.

The Eagles lost at home, giving away the home court advantage again. On May 9, Liu Mang began to practice more in the low post.

In the last game, he wanted to play in the low post, but there was a gap in reaction and movement compared to the previous game. Although he had practiced hard the day before, he was still far behind Kobe, but he was too confident and was flanked in the low post with only 6

Hit 1, floated to the outside and hit the opponent's defensive strategy.

At least they have to maintain a certain low shooting percentage, and they have to find better solutions to the defensive strategy shown by the Bulls in the third game. Liu Mang was studying these things on the rest day on the 9th.

On the night of the 9th, Game 3 of the series between the Cavaliers and Magic, and the Lakers and Suns began.

The Magic team returned home and did not give the Cavaliers a chance. This time, even James only made 7 of 25, a shooting percentage of less than 30%. He only scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. The Cavaliers only had two players on the team.

After scoring in double figures, James scored 19 points and Larry Hughes scored 22 points. Peja only scored 9 points. In the playoffs, when his teammates did not perform well, Peja was as weak as ever.

76 to 95, the Cavaliers lost to the Magic on the road with a 19-point disadvantage.

The Lakers, on the road, played even more fiercely. Gasol was no longer soft today. He was not as afraid of the physical confrontation between O'Neal and Josh Smith as before. He only shot and passed from the outside. This time he tried his best.

Yao Ming and Kobe also kept playing inside, causing O'Neal to foul twice at the beginning, which caused a huge problem for the Suns' rotation.

Gasol, who scored a series-high 18 points, Yao Ming, who scored 33 points, and Kobe, who caused 6 fouls inside the Suns and scored 14 free throws in the game, plus averaged 15 rebounds per game in this series.

Odom, together with Wang Zhizhi, Radmanovic, Fisher and other shooters, took good shots from outside and regained the home court advantage with a score of 128 to 115, a 13-point difference.

The Hawks' defeat was unexpected. The Cavaliers trailed 1-2 after three games. Before the start of the second round, not many people expected that the Lakers' better performance on the road after losing at home was also unexpected.

The Nuggets have already advanced to the conference finals 3-0, and no one expected it...

Iverson just went to the Nuggets and helped the Nuggets reach this point. It is basically certain that he will tie the scoring created by Alex English and Kelvin Knight in the 1984-85 season.

The conference finals set a record in team history, which greatly improved Iverson's evaluation after his transformation.

…

"The Most Suspenseful Second Round of the New Century"

After the third game of the second round was played, NBA officials gave this evaluation.

No one can predict what will happen next. The Hawks and Suns both grabbed a home court advantage in the first two away games, but the Bulls and Lakers both took back the home advantage in the first game of the next road trip.

.

That is to say, it will have to go to at least the fifth game. Since the Hawks and Suns both performed better on the road than at home, it is really unclear which two teams will advance in these two rounds of the series.

Judging from the first three games of the second round, the Hawks, Bulls, Suns, and Lakers are undoubtedly the favorites to win the championship this season.

Even if the Nuggets make it to the Western Conference Finals, there is a high probability that they will not be a match for the Suns or Lakers.

If the Magic defeat the Cavaliers and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, they are unlikely to be opponents of the Hawks or Bulls.

The Magic played against both teams in the regular season, with a record of 1 win and 3 losses. Even if they corrected Turkoglu in the second half of the season, they would still lose miserably against the Bulls or the Bulls.

None of the four favorite teams for the championship will be defeated in the second round. This is the first time in the past twelve years of the playoffs, especially this year, the Mavericks were hacked in the first round, and another division ranked third.

With the Cavaliers about to be defeated by the Magic, who are nearly 20 games behind, this year's playoffs are becoming more and more attractive.

…

On May 10, the Hawks ushered in the fourth game of the series against the Bulls at home.

After agreeing to invest more, Liu Mang really started to waste money this time!

Not only Liu Mang, but Tracy McGrady and Jason Terry also started to have fun with Liu Mang when they were on the court.

The double wave combination became the wave three eagles!

And in the fourth game, the Eagles' tactical strategy made great adjustments.

During the second meeting in the regular season, Liu Mang realized the principle of sticking to his own style of play when playing against the Bulls. The opponent wanted to drag the game into a defensive battle, and he could not be dragged into it and had to insist on attacking.

principles of law.

The first three games of the playoffs have been played like this.

However, the standards for whistleblowing in the playoffs are much looser than those in the regular season. It is true that the Hawks have two popular superstars, but Garnett is also a popular superstar, so in addition to the home whistle, the standards for whistleblowing are set at the two home courts.

There are not many changes, they are all loose, which is very conducive to defense.

The Eagles' loss in the third game had a lot to do with the tactical mistakes made by not grasping the scale of the whistle, which was why they only scored 9 points in the first quarter.

But this time, the Hawks stopped playing tactics and started a Mavericks-style offensive tactic, and it was an offensive tactic in which the ball was absolutely concentrated on the Three Eagles.

On the other hand, this time the Eagles put up a defensive lineup with four strong players and a lineup with five defensive players, that is, Jason Terry is on the court, and the best defensive players are sent to the other four positions.

, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady will appear. When Jason Terry is absent, try to send the best defensive players in the other three positions.

I don’t care about physical fitness or anything like that!

Marion and Kwame Brown almost didn't rest for the whole game, and they were constantly wandering from the outside!

Liu Mang played very recklessly today. He rushed for offensive rebounds with all his strength, and was not afraid of injury or death. He was slapped on the floor several times by Ben Wallace, Big Z, Garnett and others.

He was really injured, but Liu Mang now has an injury potion and a superstar value. If he is injured by an attack, he will be cured immediately, and he can get up and fight again.

The shooting percentage... was still mediocre, but Liu Mang learned the desperate play style of another No. 24 and got 15 free throws in a single game!

Made 12 of 15 free throws, 9 of 27 field goals, and 3 of 9 three-pointers. He scored 33 points and 14 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds. In addition to Tracy McGrady's 21 points and Jason Terry's 18 points, the Eagles

The team held on to its second home court with difficulty, 102-89!

…

After four games, the Hawks and Bulls were tied at 2-2, and they did not get the "battle cry" feature they originally wanted to counter Garnett's annoying "roar."

Liu Mang doesn't like Garnett at all, but I have to say that if the team got Garnett last summer, there would be no suspense about the championship this season. With Garnett here, there would be no lack of "morale" at all.

Although this kind of thing is not pleasant, if there is such a villain-like teammate, it will be a huge improvement for any championship team.

What's more, this is the fourth superstar among active players after Kobe, Liu Mang himself, and Duncan.

Liu Mang believes that if Garnett was replaced by any super power forward except Duncan, the original Big Three of the Green Army would have no chance of winning the championship. Garnett, who also won the best defensive player at the age of 32, is the best choice.

The key to winning the championship.

After all, Pierce and Ray Allen are the best in the second team. Compared with Garnett, who has been on the first team for many years and won the MVP, they are more than one level behind.
