After massacring the Pacers with 43 points, the Hawks players had no so-called revenge, and the Hawks were not very excited about winning.

They should have won in the first place. After losing the last game, the players didn't have much negative emotions, but they were very unhappy inside. Today they finally vented their anger.

For other teams competing for the championship, they don't know whether they are relieved or regretful.

The Pacers are about to finish their game. Judging from the confused expression on the bench while sitting on the bench in the fourth quarter, the Pacers' mentality has exploded.

In today's game, the Pacers players prepared much more seriously than in the previous game and were more confident. As a result, there was no way to fight back from the beginning of the game.

The strength gap between the 39-win team and the 73-win team is clearly reflected.

Originally, there was a tendency to relax the relationship between the three major players, but now it has collapsed even more miserably.

Winning can resolve many conflicts, but being slaughtered by 43 points...the three major stars were dissatisfied with their teammates again.

Who would have imagined that two years ago, in the 2003-04 season, with this core lineup, the Pacers had the second-best record in the league, but now they are facing disintegration...

…

…

On the morning of April 24th, Liu Mang got up from a late nap. He was noisy in the locker room for a long time last night. He was not that tired after playing the game. On the contrary, he was even more tired after the game.

But as soon as he woke up, he felt something on the quilt. When he looked over, he saw that it was a little loli who had grown up a little and was sleeping on his quilt.

Liu Mang remembered it. It seemed that when he was half asleep, someone asked him to get up for a run. But after Revenge of the Walkers, he relaxed and was interviewed again last night. His teammates celebrated and even got high and played with the band for a while.

The event ended at 10 o'clock, and I didn't get home until 2 o'clock in the morning. I couldn't get up in the morning.

"Dina, Dinah..." Liu Mang pushed the little Loli.

The little Loli said "Hmm", pushed Liu Mang's arm away, turned over and continued to sleep.

Liu Mang saw a bubble on the little Loli's nose...

Liu Mang was speechless, and carefully climbed out of the bed, covering the little Lolita with a quilt to avoid catching a cold.

Liu Mang checked the time. It was past seven o'clock. It was Saturday and the little Loli had no classes, so Liu Mang ignored her. He washed up, put on his coat, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Take the afternoon flight to Indianapolis.

When the first game of the series between the Hawks and the Pacers ended, this series had the largest record disparity in history and became the most interesting game in the first round of this year's playoffs.

But after the second game, not many people paid attention to this series.

The Pacers are too short-lived and will wither.

Other teams no longer have unrealistic hopes for the Pacers and focus on their own games.

After the Eagles play the second game, they have two days to rest. The next two games are on the 26th and 28th, playing away games, and playing the fifth game at home on May 1st.

After looking at the schedule, Liu Mang felt that the US emperor was not humane to NBA players at all. It was clearly the May Day International Labor Day created by the US empire and France. As a result, Americans did not have Labor Day on May Day, but had a Labor Day in September.

Labor Day in September...Liu Mang didn't even know what this holiday had to do with him. It was already a holiday for him at that time.

Chatting with her mother, having breakfast, accompanying Alexia to play with her daughter in the morning, and even being forced to change diapers for Ritian’s baby. The little loli didn’t get up until ten o’clock and was scolded by Levia

After a meal, Liu Mang played games with the miserable little loli.

After lunch, Liu Mang took the luggage prepared by Levia and went to the airport to meet his teammates.

…

…

After the Eagles arrived in Indianapolis, they rented the Indiana University arena for training and preparation for the next two games.

The playoffs for the other 14 teams in the league are also in full swing.

For the Lakers, it's easy to beat the Nuggets. In singles, the Nuggets can't beat them. In team tactics, Anthony doesn't have the control masters like Billups and Kidd. Give him Allen Iverson at most.

If you win 50 games in the regular season, you won't be able to get past the first round of the playoffs.

The Lakers easily went 2-0.

The Jazz were lucky enough to enter the playoffs, but they could only get a taste of the playoffs.

In terms of crushing, although the Spurs don't have the vigorous momentum of the Eagles, they are stable!

Because the Eagles have the buff of Liu Mang's Strong Heart, and Liu Mang usually plays for 24 consecutive minutes in the first half, they can stably abuse the team. However, the buff of Strong Heart has a side effect. Liu Mang's teammates

It's easy to be arrogant and look down on your opponents. The regular season has a strong purpose. For 73 wins, this situation is okay, but in the first round of the playoffs, there is no pressure, so I become arrogant.

But the Spurs will not be arrogant. They know that they are easily upset, so they play very hard, unless it is the case like the 2011 Grizzlies who had the strength to reach the conference finals but lost the game at the end of the season and fell to eighth in the Western Conference.

The Spurs are solid in the playoffs.

Boozer got a taste of what it was like to be in the Western Conference playoffs, and then he was abused again.

The Spurs beat the Jazz 86-71, making the score 2-0.

There was not much suspense when the Mavericks played against the Sonics. The Mavericks were too restrained against the Sonics, 109 to 101. Although the Sonics shot accurately, they were inaccurate for a while and were beaten by the Mavericks.

Nowitzki's performance in the playoffs this year was explosive. He scored 38 points in the first game and 29 points and 20 rebounds in the second game. Nowitzki never averaged double figures in rebounds per game in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Nowitzki

Key's rebounding is as good as Duncan's.

But in the series between the Suns and the Clippers, unexpectedly, the Clippers actually defeated the previous team, 98 to 88, evening the score to 1 to 1!

The captain at his peak scored 40 points in the second game. Elton Brand, who was playing in the playoffs for the first time, went berserk. He scored a total of 69 points and 30 rebounds in the two games, destroying the Suns inside.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Here in the East, in the series between the 76ers and the Cavaliers, Iverson went wild in the second game, scoring 51 points, 7 assists and 5 steals, leading the 76ers to win the away game

Victory, equalizing the score 1-1.

Iverson's performance was so amazing, but when Liu Mang saw the news, he wasn't too surprised. In the original time and space, Iverson in the 2007-08 season, at the age of 33, was still averaging 10 points per game.

The data of 26.4 points, 7.1 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals are not as long as the peak periods of Kobe and James, but compared to Wade, Carter, McGrady and Iverson, their ability to maintain their condition is much better.

Regular season MVPs are still a little different from ordinary superstars.

After the Heat won the first game, they did not relax. They were defeated by the Bulls last year. The lack of depth in the Heat's lineup is a problem. Being arrogant and looking down on the Bulls is also a very important reason. The head coach is also a big factor, but this year

The Heat played with an attitude of revenge, and in the second game they also won two consecutive games with a clean score of 93 to 81, with a score difference of 12 points.

On the other hand, the Nets, ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, defeated the Pistons in two consecutive games, 91-77.

Billups was coached by Kidd again. In the second game, Billups made 1 of 10 shots and only scored 5 points and 5 assists. The Pistons entered the playoffs this year and their offense completely collapsed. They were scored 9 points.

Kidd, who scored 11 rebounds and 10 assists, was defeated.

Kidd is the first star in NBA history who has insufficient scoring ability when he gets a triple-double...

The players' condition is like that, even coach Flip Saunders can't do anything about it. This group of players worked hard last year to win 63 games. After being abused in the playoffs, their hearts have been broken...

…

…

On April 26, the Hawks, who had been preparing for more than a day in Indianapolis, challenged the Pacers away.

Liu Mang feels strange every time he comes here this year.

At 6:10 p.m., players from both teams entered the playoffs, which was not broadcast live.

After Liu Mang entered the stadium, he didn't hear many boos because one-third of the fans at the scene were Eagles fans who had grabbed tickets.

Generally speaking, in the playoffs, there is usually no possibility of rival fans grabbing more than 10% of the tickets. The only possible situation is when the Lakers and Clippers meet in the playoffs, even if the Knicks

In Sri Lanka's playoffs, it was only after being abused by opponents that the fans switched sides.

But this time, many Eagles fans don’t have to fight because the Pacers and even the playoff tickets have not been sold out in advance!

Liu Mang also saw some fans wearing Pacers No. 31 Reggie Miller, holding a sign that read "Without a terminator, you can't do anything."

One year after Reggie Miller retired, Pacers fans are still so obsessed with Reggie Miller. This surprised Liu Mang. Reggie Miller is hated in New York to the same extent as he was in Indianapolis.

It’s directly proportional to its popularity!

One man, one city for 18 years has made Reggie Miller's reputation in Indianapolis almost the same as Stockton's reputation in Salt Lake City for 19 years!

Liu Mang regrets that Reggie Miller rejected his invitation in the summer. He sent Korver to try to get Reggie Miller to join him, but it was indeed a pity.

Corresponding to the atmosphere at the scene, the Pacers' team's atmosphere was like a pool of stagnant water.

According to the intelligence and some news received by the Eagles, the Pacers had an intra-squad conflict during the preparation days back in Indianapolis. The Pacers did not announce the specific circumstances, but it is obvious that reaching the playoffs and winning

The stability brought to the Pacers in the first game collapsed again. It is not a collapse. It should be said that they have returned to their original normal state.

The Pacers' regular season was like this. None of the three major stars could dislike the other. They just made it to the playoffs. They decided to play well and won the first game, suppressing the conflicts.

But after being beaten by 43 points in the second game, the conflict was triggered again.
