A nickname began to spread among basketball fans - the hooligan lost the Eastern Conference Finals.

To simplify it a bit, it’s called Liu Shudong. If it’s more localized, it’s called Liu Shudong...

Nowadays, online forums are becoming more and more complete and have more and more functions. Due to the influence of the Internet, information exchange and technical communication have become more and more convenient in all walks of life. The Internet has an increasing impact on the world.

The impact of the Internet on basketball, in addition to better expanding the influence of stars and allowing fans of teams and stars from all over the world to gather in a forum to communicate and communicate, also has a big role, that is, black fans are also

able to gather together.

Fans are always so talented. Just after Liu Mang lost the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, relying on online forums that have become more and more convenient for information exchange, I don’t know where it originated.

In the English basketball fan circle, as well as in China, Liu Mang is associated with him.

The Google search engine founded by the US emperor in 1996 and the domestic Baidu search engine modeled on Google's model and founded in 2000, after the meme that Liu Mang lost to the Eastern Conference Finals appeared, enter the keyword: "lost to the Eastern Conference Finals" in the search engine,

The first item displayed was the scene of Liu Mang's forlorn figure walking towards the locker room.

Although the Internet has become very developed, generally speaking, people who do not follow online portals and forums, especially sports fans, know some memes, and people who follow sports on the Internet know some memes or some anecdotes.

It's two worlds.

Especially at this stage, although the Internet has developed, television and newspapers are still the mainstream news media.

After Liu Mang returned to Atlanta, he rested at home for two days. After he recovered, he prepared to report to the team the next day. His agent, Jeff Schwartz, called him and the Hawks were about to start preparing for the next draft.

Preparations have been made for the conference. The Eagles promised to give Liu Mang the right to participate in the team's recruitment and other aspects of decision-making. It is time to implement it. How to use the 14th overall pick in this year's first round? Regarding the Eagles' decision

How to solve the problems exposed in the Eastern Conference Finals, etc., all need to be discussed in meetings.

Today is the start of the finals between the Nets and Spurs. Liu Mang and Dinah, who is "caring about the uncle whose soul has been traumatized again," played video games for a while. Dinah didn't want to watch other teams' games and finished playing the game.

I went back to my room to draw.

Before Liu Mang waited to watch the live broadcast, he turned on his computer, which he had not turned on for a long time because of the playoffs, and looked at online forums to see what the fans thought of him and his team.

If he was criticizing the Hawks for being useless, Liu Mang could only endure it. If he was praising the Nets for being great, Liu Mang would start a trumpet and curse the Nets for being swept by the Spurs.

But I didn't expect that the forum section of my team would be filled with memes about "losing in the Eastern Conference Finals".

As a person who has been in fan forums for many years in my previous life, I understand this kind of joke at a glance, and I almost spit out a mouthful of old blood...

…

Before Liu Mang watched the series between the Nets and Spurs last night, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Liu Mang seemed to see his future being the same as 58, six steps, loopback, steel industry...etc., that word would become his own

No matter what achievements you achieve in the future, there will always be one word hanging on you...

When watching the finals, Liu Mang actually began to hope that the Nets would kill the Spurs. He didn't know where this mentality came from, so he called Jason Terry. Unexpectedly, Jason Terry

They actually have the same mentality, probably if the Nets beat the Spurs, then the Hawks will also lose to the championship, which doesn't seem so miserable.

But unfortunately, two teams addicted to defense played the ugliest game in this year's playoffs. The Spurs narrowly defeated the Nets 72-70 at home.

In the first finals, the ratings dropped all the way from the beginning of the game.

Indeed, from the first game of this year's finals, it seemed that the Spurs won because they had the league's number one superstar who could decide the outcome of the game. Duncan, who scored 32 points, 20 rebounds, 7 blocks and 5 assists, exceeded this total.

The other players in the finals were much stronger, just like O'Neal in the 2001 playoffs, crushing them invincibly. When Ginobili and Parker were defended almost as badly as Boozer and Prince, with Stephen -

Jackson, Bowen, David Robinson, Malik Rose and others fought hard to defend. Steve Smith and Steve Kerr, two shooters with amazingly accurate open shots, took turns to help Duncan pull out the ball.

To open up space, the Spurs focus on defense, and on the offensive end, Duncan is the only one who is digging to death.

To play against the Nets, you must have a player with strong low post ability, otherwise you have to defend even harder than the Nets.

It just so happens that the Spurs are such a team, and both conditions are met. Before the plantar fasciitis in 2006, although Duncan underwent meniscus removal surgery, which was similar to the injury Wade just experienced, he recovered quickly.

, The impact is not big at this stage. Before the injury of plantar fasciitis broke out in the 2005-06 season, Duncan was a low-post monster comparable to O'Neal. When others were guarded, Duncan forcibly opened up the situation and eliminated

Won the first win in the finals.

For fans who like this kind of rhythm, it's interesting to watch Duncan break through everything, but for fans of big scores, this kind of game is too ugly to watch.

Originally, because the strength gap between the two teams in this year's finals was not huge, fans thought they could still take a look. It was indeed suspenseful, but the process was too rough.

After watching this game, many people understood why the Hawks could not break through the Nets' defense. The reason was that there was no absolute scoring point inside.

Looking at the three games the Eagles won, we can see that the Eagles scored a lot in the paint. Ratliff scored in double figures. Others also scored a lot in the paint, and they also scored a lot from the outside.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But when the Eagles' scoring inside was restricted, the outside was also restricted.

Of course, it can also be said that the Hawks did not shoot well from the outside and created poor opportunities for the inside.

In short, this is the problem with the Eagles. From the inside out, they are a little bit worse.

It's just a little bit close, but a little bit close is just a little bit close.

…

Ignoring the loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, Liu Mang came to Phillips Arena on June 14, the morning after the first game of the Finals between the Nets and Spurs.

The disassembly and installation of some things are being stepped up inside Phillips Arena. The Eagles' season is over. When this month is over, in the summer, only the training ground will be retained, and the other parts will be rented out.

, used for concerts, press conferences, or venues for some large-scale events, etc.

Liu Mang came to the conference room and saw a trading scene that was different from what he had imagined.

In Liu Mang's impression, during the transaction period, the boss Price would make a phone call, and he would use words to battle wits with the negotiator calmly, bargain, and then reach a verbal deal...

Or use the increasingly popular telephone conference. The two people can judge whether the opponent is guilty through subtle changes in expressions. They may also put a piece of chocolate in their arms and eat it while laughing, as if it is a game...

But the real picture is...

Several secretaries read through a large number of basketball-related newspapers, online news and some unreliable gossip on forums, and recorded the lists of teams with rumored trade intentions and players trying to trade.

Come down and write down the relevant things...

The entire conference room was like a vegetable market, far less elegant than Liu Mang thought.

The Eagles' management and coaching staff are now busy with reinforcements for next season. They have already lost in the playoffs. This can't be helped. Last year's offseason was wasted. This year, team owner Price doesn't want to

If such an accident occurs, otherwise even if the team continues to make money, he will probably have to be replaced by the head office.

Therefore, this year, the coaching staff and Liu Mang were included in the decision-making level of player operations this summer.

Liu Mang said hello to Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson, who were sitting and discussing something. Price, the boss who had also just arrived, saw Liu Mang coming and immediately came over to greet him.

"Ace, you're here. Oh, it's such a pity for this year's playoffs. But it's such a pity that you didn't attend the team's end-of-season party the day before yesterday. That 200,000-yuan Mercedes-Benz was driven away by Carlos."

Rice came up and gave Liu Mang a warm hug and said something interesting to divert Liu Mang's attention, fearing that Liu Mang was still suffering from the pain of losing in the playoffs.

The night after playing against the Nets, Liu Mang disappeared from the Nets' home arena, scaring the Hawks so much that they called the police. Fortunately, they knew Liu Mang was with the police when they called the police.

"200,000 Mercedes-Benz? What's going on?" Liu Mang's eyes lit up when he heard the money.

"Oh, our stadium sponsor Mercedes-Benz gave me a sports car, so I used it as a prize. I played a little game and Carlos won it."

"Carlos won? Are you competing to see who is the better shooter?" Liu Mang complained. Boozer made 7 of 30 shots in the Eastern Conference finals, which made him want to hit someone.

"Haha Ace, you are still so humorous, but it seems that you are fine. We won't waste time anymore. Let's get to work quickly. Come and take a look at the list and news of these players who have been announced to be traded. By the way,

This is Chip, let's get to know each other, this is Ace, this is our team's new assistant coach Chip Englander..." Price introduced the team's new employees to Liu Mang.

Only then did Liu Mang discover that a new member had joined the team. The team's coaching staff was really too small. Following Price's words, a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Dr. Strange in Liu Mang's impression.

, the two of them said hello without exchanging too much greetings. There would be many opportunities to meet in the future, and Price also wanted to introduce Liu Mang's upcoming work.

But Liu Mang seemed to have an impression of Chip Englund, and not just because he looked like Doctor Strange, but he really had an impression...

After the greetings were over, Price also stopped joking and took it seriously when working: "Ace, here is the information sent back by our scouts, as well as the information given to us by our colleagues in the general manager's office.

We can get what we want from the news and information we find.”

"Today is the first day of the trading period?"

"Yes, for the next two weeks, Ace, you will have to work with us. Of course, you don't have to be here. You just need to come here when you have time and ideas. This is Ashley, the secretary who will help you.

If you need any information or information here, just contact him. If you have any ideas, you can call me directly. I have been in Atlanta for the past two weeks. Of course, you can also discuss it with Lang..."

…

Liu Mang exchanged pleasantries with Price, who was becoming more and more enthusiastic about Liu Mang. Liu Mang was now becoming more and more accustomed to the working conditions of Americans.

Although the working environment of this team during the trading period is completely different from what Liu Mang imagined, thinking about it, it is not that high-level, and the management does not have clairvoyance. Liu Mang himself, a future person, only knows where some famous players are.

It is possible to leave the team in a year, and the specific transaction situation can only be remembered roughly. However, for real management transactions, they look for clues from various news, gossips and even gossips to judge the other party's thoughts and desire to trade, and then provide

Put out chips.

Of course, not many can do this, and there are many instances where the Eagles have been deceived by shrewd management.

Liu Mang doesn't have much power, he only has the right to know and make suggestions, but the right to make suggestions is already good. To trade, you must first have a certain candidate. The first thing Liu Mang wants is of course McGrady! McGrady!

"Ace, I'm sorry, the Magic said in the interview that McGrady is not for sale." The pretty female secretary gave Liu Mang a disappointing answer.

Liu Mang looked at the female secretary who looked pretty good but had a flat figure, and decisively gave her a bad review in her heart.

It must be because of my flat body that I don’t get any good news.

Since the end of the regular season, the Hawks' intelligence collection has begun. The Magic have not yet considered trading McGrady. Liu Mang is really disappointed.

Liu Mang thought about it and it seems that McGrady did not leave the Magic in 2003, but he had the idea of ​​leaving the team after playing in 2004, and the Magic sent him away.

It’s so boring! Liu Mang just planned to go back, and he came here just to take a look. It seems that it may be a little early to make a deal. The finals haven’t finished yet, and I didn’t see the boss and coaching staff all gone.

Well, I still asked: "Are there any All-Stars who may be traded? If so, please show me the information."

"Here, here, there are two All-Stars who were sold out..."

It seems that it has been seen by others several times. Both A4 papers are wrinkled. It seems that Coach Kruger, the boss and others have already seen it, but did not take a fancy to these two people or feel that they are not worthy of it.

Liu Mang read the two pieces of information and his eyes lit up.

The Trail Blazers are selling Rasheed Wallace in an attempt to get a star-level perimeter player.
