When: June 6, 2007 at 7:30 p.m.,

Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles.

Event: The Los Angeles Lakers host the Atlanta Hawks.

Key word: 35 minutes.

The fighting spirit did not decline because of the first loss, but the decline in confidence is real.

Concentrated discussions and hard-working training simulations over the past two days... found that the overall strength gap between them and the Lakers...

The insider won the world, before Adam Silva changed the rules, this sentence is still the key to the playoffs.

A team that already has a super outside the top line to get a top inside line, compared to a team that already has a super outside, and the strength is very strong, very much stronger.

Especially in the playoffs and finals.

This from the NBA history of the finals MVP can be seen, the center is the most finals MVP, before the 90s, the big forward is basically the body of the MVP, rarely can get the MVP situation, small forward, shooting guard, point guard is less, if not the magician, Jordan, Liu Yan, the outside finals MVP is poor, in fact, before the magician and Jordan, the outside players take the regular season MVP few.

Although some ways to try to deal with the Lakers, confidence has slipped more...

Moreover, the outside world's public opinion is also a problem, the Eagles coaching team let the players not read the news, do not care about those public opinions, but will always be affected.

Especially after losing a game of public opinion, so that the Eagles players can not help but want to see, like Pandora's box.

“Only when you get back home have a chance to hold on.”

That’s what happens to most of the Eagles.

This mentality is not an example, but the norm, as in the 2005 playoffs, the Spurs side think so, last year the Lakers also had this idea, the team at a disadvantage always want to seize this psychological comfort, maintain the fighting spirit, but the Spurs team failed to support all three home, the Lakers are back home and continue to lose.

Although this mentality is still fighting, but confidence is difficult to avoid setbacks.

This made Liu Yan and Madi do useless work in the second game.

Liu Yan 22 shot 11, with 50% of the high-efficiency performance of 50 hit rate to get 35 points, 9 boards, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Madi 18 votes 12 hit 35 points, 4 boards, 10 assists 3 mistakes data.

Both of them's performance was good enough to explode, especially Madi's holding strength through Liu Yan's holding force repeatedly to Liu Yan as a defensive fire attraction point to send several assists to his teammates, although there are five assists for Liu Yan, but Madi also has five assists to help his teammates score, and more than 3 to 1 assist error ratio, Madi today broke.

Of the four assists, three were given to Maddie.

But the Mcmant group has cut 70 points and 14 assists, but the Eagles have only got 106 points.

Jason Terry seems to have used up the magic in the previous three years of the playoffs, this year not only played the regular season very ordinary, the playoffs are the existence of the gods.

The best sixth man is like that, and it really makes it impossible to understand why he is so pit.

Jason Terry in the past few years of the playoffs can have a stable play, from time to time can burst out, has been very brilliant, but after the three consecutive championships, it is inevitable to lose the magic.

In this game, Liu Yan also used Lillard's star card in the second quarter, and his role... It is hard to say that the role is that Lillard's mentality is to be Changtian.

This mentality and Liu Xuan wave has some differences, Liu Xuan wave, as well as reason, Lillard's wave is not rational, but also Lillard's playoffs from time to time suddenly pit the reason.

As for Lillard's body change and the hand under the basket to throw a basket, the frequency of use is not high, and the effect in the playoffs is really not obvious.

The focus is that the three-point shot of the big forward is not as stable as last season's finals!

Facing the inside of the Lakers, Marion can't cut in, Marion has three points is right, but he wants to play one or two games, he still has, but he wants him to be like a real pitcher, continuous throwing... Then he will not just be a top power forward, Marion's career for eight years, only 12 games in at least 4 three points, only in at least 3 three points, only 40 games, the highest single shot in his career is 5, he is in the finals.

And Granger or Maddie to play the big forward, perhaps there may be a better way to open the space, but the defense is basically equal to not defending...

And Granger is not the peak of him, he is still just a role player, empty shot, but to keep throwing, basically will not be sure.

Empty shooting is easy to say, but can have a stable open shooting performance, not specializing in this technology of pure pitchers, then only the star, the role of the player is the role of the player, because they are not so good grasp.

So... this game became a double show for Liu Yan and Maddie, both of whom played an explosive performance, but the Lakers there... just one word - steady!

They don’t think much about it, they don’t think about the numbers, they’ve lost to the Eagles twice in the last three years, and they don’t have any idea of playing with Liu Yan or Maddie.

This game the Eagles consciously defended Gasol and Odom to grab the rebound, but Yao Ming also stood up to protect the rebound.

For Kobe's defense is still very good, the Lakers sent Barnes or Clayton two shots almost or no shot players, the Eagles also made a good adjustment, and successfully played several waves of counterattack.

But on the side of the Lakers, there are also smart-minded players, Kobe and Gasol, Odom led the team to carry the Eagles counterattack, in the last minute still maintained a 10-point lead.

Although Liu Yan hit the three-pointer before the end of the game, he lost by 7 points.

Kobe 21 in 8 to get 22 points, 7 boards and 7 assists, Yao Ming 14 points and 16 boards, Gasol 23 points, 6 boards and 5 assists, Odoma 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Radmanovic 14 points, the Lakers five people score double, with 113 to 106 Lek burst the Armand group led the Eagles, 2-0, the Lakers held at home for two consecutive home!

...

...

The road has lost two consecutive games without surprising people's expectations.

Most of the players on the Eagles side also seemed to accept this fact.

The excellent performance of the second game of the Mcmant Group has given the Eagles players the confidence to return home to win.

The heart of man is so strange that he likes to find a little comfort from failure.

This kind of psychology is not to say that it is all bad, and some things must be found to enhance self-confidence and fighting spirit.

If you lose two away games, it is not a big problem, but if you lose the third game, the problem is big.

The Eagles side next to three consecutive home, if the three home wins, but the pressure will become bigger on the side of the Lakers, and 05 years to play the Spurs, the Eagles won two, away two losses, the fifth game has become a must-win game.

The most criticized place in the finals schedule is this, the best team to win two is not a real advantage, must win a away game to count the advantage.

It was not until Adam Silva took the stage at the beginning of 2014 that the 2014 Finals system was changed, becoming a reasonable schedule of 2+2+1+1+1+1+1+1 as in the playoffs, expanding the advantages of a good team.

Even playing three away games, how can not see the good record of the team has a home advantage, people won three home are 3 to 2, back home two home, one dare not lose.

This kind of mentality is very common in the NBA history of the finals, and the Eagles naturally have it.

Even Liu Yan, he will expect this, and he knows that this belief must be.

Of course, if the Lakers have a home advantage in the finals and have the strength to win one on the road, it is an absolute advantage, the Eagles won the other two home, still 2-3 behind...

I didn’t even think about using Durant’s star card...

If the special way to 100% fit using the Durant star card, according to Liu Xuan's expectations, in order to achieve the shooting effect of Durant, Liu Yan himself should have a substantial improvement, but also experience the future rules under the super three breakup of the mentality.

Maybe it is not a good state of mind to put into this point in time, but it always has its merits.

But... it’s not a good time to use this star card.

Mainly special use of the method is too much, if the two teams are evenly matched, hit 2 to 2 flat, the fifth key battle, Liu Yan to do those out of things, will be regarded as strange.

But in the case of losing one away, it does not affect the mentality of teammates is good, 0 to 2 ... now Liu Yan is even more afraid to use.

If the teammate loses confidence even as he loses confidence, as he sees the team's finals after seeing the team's finals at a disadvantage and wants to give up, it is even worse.

Durant's star card may have some strange results, but... Durant can turn over the super team alone, will not choose the most difficult path.

...

Date: 9 June 2007.

Location: Phillips Stadium, Atlanta.

Event: The Atlanta Hawks host the Los Angeles Lakers' third game.

Key words: triple + 40 + VS four four people 20.

Not only did the Hawks players hold the idea of holding three home games at home with the benefit of returning home, but fans and media saw that the Eagles lost only 7 points in the second game and held the same expectation.

Who wants to watch a one-sided final?

Liu Yan and Maddie's performance in the second game, in addition to giving teammates hope, but also gave fans look forward to, as long as the Eagles have a third score of the player, such as Jason Terry, Marion, Grant-Hill even if there is one more shot into two empty shots, it is possible that the second game is not the end.
