Liu Mang leaned on the airplane seat and listened to Mike Woodson talking about how to defend the Suns. He talked about a lot of tactical plans.

After studying it all night, the Eagles had to fly to San Antonio in the West to play an away game the next day, the 20th. The coaching staff studied it all night.

Yesterday's game was too exaggerated. The Suns only took 11 seconds to attack on average, and they took a total of 127 shots in the game!

The Eagles also took 120 shots because the Eagles had an advantage in offensive rebounds. Although the average time of each attack was longer than that of the opponent and they did not get as many attacks as the opponent, they relied on their ultra-fast pace to grab 15.

offensive rebounds, of which Liu Mang grabbed 7 alone...

The most frightening thing is that the Hawks shot 56% from the field, and the Suns were even higher, 59%!

Although the Eagles relied on their success rate to reach the end, they were still unable to catch up with the few-point difference.

This is the Suns, they dare to let the opponent average 103 points per game, but they can average 111 points per game!

In order to compete with the Suns' offensive firepower in this game, Liu Mang organized the offense with McGrady and got 6 assists in the second half.

Liu Mang usually scores points because they usually have a greater offensive advantage, so they can shoot freely. However, against the Suns, Liu Mang could only reduce his shots and choose to organize the offense with Tracy McGrady, choosing to get inside and be flanked by himself.

It allowed better shooting opportunities from the outside, resulting in only 18 points but 6 assists and 10 rebounds in the second half, but still failed to defeat the Suns.

This made the Eagles coaching staff even more wary of the Suns. They spent the whole night targeting the Suns' counterattacks, pick-and-rolls, three-point runs, and passing and cutting.

Mainly three-pointers and inside shots. This season, the Suns averaged 10 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league, and scored 49 points in the paint, both ranking first in the league.

Since the five-little tactic was proposed by Liu Mang, Mike Woodson, after making many defensive plans against the Suns, found Liu Mang and told him one by one. He wanted to hear something about Liu Mang.

.

Listening to Mike Woodson's ramble, Liu Mang really wanted to say: The Suns can't make it to the finals, so stop working around!

But think about it, what if? Bowen of the Spurs can only play less than 20 minutes in a game now, otherwise the foot injury is very likely to recur. Bowen repaired his ankle injury in the summer, but the problem of habitual dislocation is still there

It can't be avoided.

The Spurs' outside complement is Bunchy Wells, who has more than enough offense but not enough defense...

But it seems that the Spurs relied on offense to defeat the Suns, and Liu Mang is not so worried about the Suns.

But he still had to play the Suns once in the regular season to prepare better for the next game, so Liu Mang listened to Mike Woodson's tactical explanation.

Mike Woodson didn't care about Liu Mang's impatience and kept talking about his tactics. Then he suddenly had an idea and ran to Stockton to continue the discussion.

After Mike Woodson left, McGrady sat over and said to Liu Mang: "Ace, aren't you unwilling? I can't wait to play the Suns right now. I want to kill them!"

"Not willing to give in? No, I'm not," Liu Mang rolled his eyes at McGrady: "I just want to beat them and think of dying!"

Liu Mang seemed fine, but he was worried about the match with Nash!

He said it was nice, hugged Nash after the game, and praised Nash in the post-game interview.

However, thinking of Nash's almost unstoppable shooting and various exquisite passes that brought the Suns to life, the key is that Liu Mang felt unhappy when he thought that his side had lost.

Just thinking that the Suns would never make it out of the Western Conference Finals made Liu Mang feel a little more comfortable.

There must be something to balance it out. Otherwise, there are so many other games in the regular season, and what if it is affected by the loss to the Suns?

Liu Mang kept this "kindness" in his heart and waited for the next game against the Suns.

…

Liu Mang had a super triple-double with 48 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists. Tracy McGrady had 31 and 17. The performance of the two was very crazy. Liu Mang got his second super triple-double, which allowed people to see his explosive power on the rebound side and his average rebounds per game increased.

It has reached 7.4, averaging 36.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, which is staggering.

McGrady's 17 assists against Nash was also impressive.

However, Nash's 41-15 statistics were not matched by Liu Mang's scoring and not matched by McGrady's assists, but he led his team to victory!

Nash gave a good explanation of what organizing offense is!

After this game, the Eagles' record dropped to 33 wins and 7 losses, while the Suns improved to 35 wins and 7 losses. Since the Eagles played two fewer games, the Suns are now one game ahead of the Eagles!

Nash's status as MVP favorite has become even more solid.

Just like the Eagles coaching staff pays more attention to the Suns, almost all fans feel that the Suns have a chance to win the championship!

Their offense is so crazy!

Nash's crazy performance completely eclipsed Liu Mang's 13th 40 of the season.

As the number of live broadcasts of the Suns across the United States increased, especially the victory over the Hawks, the Suns became even more popular!

The Suns have played against 24 of the 29 opponents, and they have won the first game against these 24 opponents. They have won 35 games, which makes the fans feel crazy.

The Suns give people a crazy feeling, even surpassing the 70 wins of the Hawks last season. This is mainly because the Hawks' lineup is already good. They were not optimistic at the beginning because of the Big Dog incident. The Hawks had scored two consecutive years.

It’s the Eastern Conference Finals, so it’s normal for the strength to explode.

The Suns, on the other hand, have never made the playoffs since Kidd left. Last season, they had the sixth-worst record and got the seventh pick, which they got for the Bulls.

The Suns' counterattack made fans feel like they had seen the Hawks in the 2001-2002 season, and it was even crazier! Because they counterattacked in the Wild West! The chance of a counterattack in the West is much more difficult than in the East!

…

The Hawks come to San Antonio and play the Spurs tomorrow

Modern people are inseparable from electronic devices. The first thing Liu Mang did when he arrived in the hotel room was to turn on his computer and read news and forums.

I saw that the Suns' chances of winning the championship predicted by major media have been ranked second, surpassing the Heat and Spurs. Some media even ranked the Suns' chance of winning above their own team. This does not count, the major media and

The reaction of the fans was "Nash is the MVP this season". Liu Mang even wanted to play with the Suns again immediately: he must win next time!
