Chapter 1014 1013. Four Consecutive Wins at the Start, Heat Wave Coming (Seeking Votes)

Liu Mang is in the news!

His performance was not amazing, but it was in the news. Although it was not the headline, it was the hottest news.

But Liu Mang said that he did not want to be popular at all.

Fans are almost tired of complaining about James's traveling.

Apart from traveling, there is really nothing to criticize about James at this stage. The most common argument used by fans who like him when refuting is that he is a representative of the American standard of the bottom black people's counterattack.

Complaining about Liu Mang's traveling is very fresh.

In fact, Liu Mang's traveling is not very rare. After all, he was a god who averaged 3 assists and 3 turnovers per game not long ago. Occasionally, in a game, he would move his pivot foot first and then dribble the ball when he broke through, and was called for traveling. But even James would be called for traveling. Liu Mang is like most players who have a lot of ball control. Traveling is a common thing.

But this time Liu Mang's steps were different. Fans have strong reading comprehension ability and think that this ball is "imitating" James, but the result of imitation...

T.N.T Sports Channel has a weekly program that accumulates some funny scenes in the American sports world. Liu Mang's shot was bombarded by netizens and sent to the material collection mailbox of the program group...

...

James, like in the past two years, always came in high spirits and left sadly.

The regular season of both teams is still going on. The Hawks have two games left in four consecutive home games. On the 3rd and 5th, they will face the Nuggets and Wizards.

On the 4th, the NBA made a rule change, turning James' steps into steps within the rules, treating them as a coherent action, and rationalizing this step.

Liu Mang's family saw this newcomer when they were having lunch at noon on the 2nd.

"This is unreasonable! The NBA actually encourages an illegal play." Liu's father, who was deeply influenced by a commentator of the Imperial Sports Channel, said dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, the little girl who knows basketball said, "Grandpa, you just need to get used to it. Stern has no shame in praising Uncle James, who looks about the same age as Grandpa."

"Dina, you said you should call LeBron brother, how can you call him uncle? He is only nine years older than you." Liu Mang patted the head of the little girl sitting next to him.

"No." The little girl always felt that Liu Mang had some purpose in asking her to call James brother.

Liu Mang was so sorry that he had been fooling around for so long but still couldn't get the upper hand.

The league changed the rules earlier than Liu Mang remembered. It should have been in the 2006 playoffs, after the Cavaliers defeated the Wizards, the Wizards complained, and the league changed the rules. This time the rules were changed earlier.

However, this also puts some restrictions on James. Sometimes, James takes more than the fourth step...

David Stern thought that Liu Mang was imitating James on purpose, and was afraid that this storm would get out of control. If a person is used to walking three steps, he may not be used to walking four steps, but if he walks five or six steps to layup, it will be much easier to get used to it. Moreover, four steps only have one more step, which is unnecessary for most players. James walks like that because his footwork is very poor. Most people do not have much difference between three steps and four steps. On the contrary, they will not be used to four steps after getting used to three steps, such as Liu Mang. It is too troublesome to spend that time to practice one more step and change years of habits, but if you can walk five or six steps, you will choose to adapt even if you are not used to it. The advantage is too great.

David Stern saw that James' four steps were enough, so he determined this rule.

James will have to polish his skills one day! David Stern is now strongly supporting James, but he does not intend to support him for a lifetime. He has supported Kobe before. If James becomes a star who relies on rules one day, David Stern may consider changing someone else to support.

David Stern can accept that young stars in their early 20s use the rules to play, as they are so talented. However, if they still do that after becoming the pillars of the league, it will have a serious impact on the league's reputation. Haven't you seen that James' team has just become playoff-worthy and has been targeted?

If it doesn't work, just change someone to praise, as there are many American talents anyway.

Like now, Kobe, who is partnered with Yao Ming, has performed brilliantly in the new season, with a 2-1 start, averaging 33 points per game, and 50+ in the third game, and has once again entered David Stern's sight.

With the change of the new rules, fans are crazy about the league's praise of James, but for the coaching staff of NBA teams, it is relatively a good thing!

If the referee is not sure about the "tolerance" of the number of layup steps that are beneficial to James, James will take five or six steps from time to time, which will easily make the players defending him angry.

But after confirming that it is an extra jump step, it seems that the league has begun to praise James shamelessly, but in fact it limits James' strength here.

Only with clear rules can we think of ways to target.

…

…

After a day of rest, the Hawks welcomed the third game of the new season on November 3rd, playing at home against the Denver Nuggets.

Anthony led the team to the playoffs in his rookie season and performed brilliantly, but it seems that the record has been stagnant.

The stagnant record, with no growth or decline, does not mean that Anthony's performance is stable, but it feels worse than his rookie season.

Because the Nuggets have been strengthening on a large scale in the past two years, three first-round picks were traded for Kenyon Martin, Camby was renewed for 4 years and 40 million, Andre Miller was found to help Anthony, tough point guard Earl Watson was signed, tough small forward Eduardo Najera was signed, as well as Nene and Boykins...

In every two summers, the Nuggets have been constantly strengthening around Anthony, but Anthony's performance has been tepid, the data has improved, the team lineup is getting stronger, but the Nuggets' record has always been the same.

1 win and 2 losses in the first 3 games, not bad.

This game is a bloody revenge!

As the only player among the top five players of the 03 generation who has defeated Liu Mang in the game, Carmelo Anthony has been targeted.

During the preparation time before the game, Liu Mang approached Prince and said, "Tayshawn, if you can defend Anthony to death, I will write another rock song for you!"

Prince's eyes lit up. The last time he sang the song "Drunk Alone", Prince became famous in "Dancing Forest". He said, "Okay."

So, after the game started, Anthony encountered Prince's crazy defense.

Anthony has now begun to reduce breakthroughs, and is more likely to use three-threat stances to cut in or shoot from mid-range and long-range. Most of his shots are mid-range and long-range.

Trend Anthony's play is shifting towards the outside line, mainly because he is very easy to be blocked when he goes to the basket, so he has reduced his shots in the inside line. It can be seen from the rebounds. In the first few games of last season, Anthony had 20+10 in 7 consecutive games. At that time, people thought that the sophomore Anthony would go further. As a result, the Nuggets had 3 wins and 4 losses in those seven games. Before the Lakers fell out of the Western Conference playoffs, the Nuggets could not even enter the top eight.

In the first three games of this season, the rebounds in all three games did not exceed 5, and the number of blocks and rebounds was much less. The Nuggets' record was still the same, neither hot nor cold.

Liu Mang is no longer at a great disadvantage against Andre Miller. Although Andre Miller has a big butt, Liu Mang's strength is not comparable. McGrady has no pressure defending the shooter Washan Leonard.

The Hawks are fast and can restrain the track and field team of the Nuggets. The Hawks can run, defend and score. From the beginning, they suppressed the Nuggets, who started this year slowly and continued the slow start of last season.

Anthony encountered a miserable game. He didn't understand why Prince, the cold little prince who had never said a word to him, bit him all over the court as if he had a grudge against his father.

Anthony practiced long-range shooting for a summer, and thought he could conquer the world with long-range shooting like Liu Mang, but was defended by Prince, who was the best at defending technical players, and he made 4 of 13 shots, barely breaking the score to double digits.

Anthony played 34 minutes in the whole game, and Prince played 34 minutes. Seeing that Prince defended so well, at the suggestion of Liu Mang, Coach Kruger replaced Prince whenever Anthony played, and strongly helped the evil.

115 to 91, the Hawks easily defeated the Nuggets, continuing the good momentum of the start.

On November 5, the Hawks immediately ushered in the last consecutive home games at the beginning, the game against the Wizards.

There was no suspense, the Hawks easily defeated the Wizards 109 to 95. When Larry Hughes was still there, the Wizards at least had a strong player.

Although Arenas has entered his prime, he is not afraid to play against anyone except Liu Mang...

The Hawks let Rasheed Wallace play less in this game, mainly because they had to use McGrady to defend Jamison. McGrady defended Jamison and the ultimate version of Jamison Nowitzki very well.

The Hawks did not lose the chain at the beginning of the new season after winning four games in a row. They firmly defended the four home courts.

…

…

After playing four consecutive home games, the Hawks will start a wave of five consecutive away games, starting from the 8th, with a game every other day.

However, the Hawks stayed in Atlanta for training in the first game, and the opponent... was the Heat again!

During the two-day break, the Hawks conducted targeted training for the game against the Heat.

The Heat started very strongly. After defeating the Hornets on November 6, they have started 6 consecutive wins and ranked first in the East.

There are only three teams in the East that have won all the games so far, the Heat 6 wins, the Pistons 5 wins, and the Hawks 4 wins.

The Hawks won the last preseason match, but that was just a preseason match. The next match on the 8th will be the first match between the two teams in the new season.

After the first four games, Liu Mang averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Wade averaged 25.5 points, 6 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in the first six games. The two seem to have similar data.

But everyone knows that Liu Mang's data cannot fully reflect his role. This season, the overall strength of the Hawks players has become stronger, and the score is very high at the beginning. Liu Mang only played 31 minutes per game in the four games, which is far lower than Liu Mang's playing time of nearly 40 minutes per game in the previous two years.

Liu Mang's number of shots also dropped to 18 per game, 9.5 hits per game, and a hit rate of 52.7%.

Iguodala and Josh Smith have improved, Korver's three-point shooting and help defense have become better, and McGrady has averaged 21 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game so far this season, with more roles on the offensive end. Liu Mang's statistics began to decline simply because he didn't need to play so hard.

But there must be some gimmicks. Whether Wade can break the "fate" and defeat Liu Mang is the focus of people's attention on this game.

After sending the client back to the hotel, I finally finished writing a chapter. I will take a break and continue immediately. I will update it around 10 minutes before and after 8 pm.

In the first five days of this month, I updated 88,000 words... After today, it should be at least 100,000 words in 6 days. Keep going. Please vote for me.
