Chapter 1415 1414. Three Episodes (Two Updates, 11,000, Monthly Votes Requested)
To remind you why Roy was easily injured, Liu Mang just didn't want to see a guy who might have been his opponent fall early.
The reason for Roy's injury has been thoroughly analyzed by later generations. Roy's power was very uncoordinated. Overall, it looked okay, but when broken down into each position, it felt uncoordinated.
This is one, and the other is the Pioneer Veterinary Corps.
Roy tore his meniscus and damaged his cruciate ligament. The Trail Blazers doctor actually gave him a treatment plan that would allow him to return in 4 to 6 weeks. The diagnosis was completely wrong.
In Liu Mang's memory, Roy has always been a pity to fans. Liu Mang also paid attention to this Huang Mamba. He was the best rookie in his rookie season. He was selected as an All-Star substitute in his second year, selected to the second team in his third year, and is about to enter the season in his fourth year. In the playoffs, Roy was seriously injured and tore his meniscus. He only played 64 games, but he was still selected to the third team.
This serious injury was critical. The Trail Blazers made a mistake in diagnosis, which made Roy mistakenly believe that he had recovered during the playoffs. He came back to play in the fourth game of the playoffs. Although he successfully helped the Trail Blazers make a buzzer-beating shot, the game was over. The score was tied at 2-2, but it caused irreparable damage to Roy's knee.
In the summer of 2010, Roy, like Wade, had the meniscus removed from both knees...
The key is that Roy is not as tolerant of grass as Wade. After the meniscus was removed, he basically retired.
The Trail Blazers offered Roy a huge "compensation package" of $82 million for his vet, who played only 42 games.
When Roy was selected for the second team, he was only in his third year, only 25 years old, and still on the rise. Against such an opponent, Liu Mang wanted to see if he would be stronger when he really reached his peak?
Liu Mang's desire to fight against his powerful opponent became stronger and stronger. He did not notice this, but he did it instinctively.
In this game, Roy brought a lot of surprise to Liu Mang, which inspired him to wait for Roy to grow up before playing against each other.
…
The brief exchange between the Trail Blazers and Roy was just an episode in this two-day game. Next, the Hawks ushered in some playoff teams that were not particularly strong, but not weak either.
The games against the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, and Suns have all been played before and after the All-Star Weekend. There is only one game left against the Bulls. Although there are strong playoff teams in the remaining games, they are not special enough for the Hawks. The kind that puts a lot of pressure on.
So the Eagles also continued their rest strategy.
Rotation is very important for the Hawks. Before the All-Star weekend, except for the game against the Bulls, for more than a month before, the old players of the Hawks were in a sluggish state, and rookies like Rondo were stuck in the rookie wall. In addition to the increasing number of opponents, Strong, physical fitness is also key.
The Eagles are under more physical pressure than any team.
The Eagles' winning streak lasted until they had won seven games in a row, and then they began to lose. They lost miserably to the Nets on the road, losing by 22 points. This was the Eagles' worst performance since the All-Star Weekend.
However, he quickly adjusted back and ushered in another four-game winning streak, and then lost another game.
During this period, the Hawks have begun to prepare for the playoffs. The only remaining games against the five major teams are the Bulls on March 31, the last game of the month. The previous games were used for adjustments, and The game against the Bulls was the key to the Eagles' plan to test the effectiveness of this period of rest and whether the tactics prepared for the imaginary playoff opponent against the Bulls were effective.
There is no way to adjust the lineup. The current 15-man roster is the Eagles' roster for the playoffs this season.
Liu Mang can say that this is the weakest time in his career when his teammates have reached the playoffs.
Even in their rookie year, there were Raheem and Ratliff at their peak. At that time, Raheem was a top forward swingman averaging 20+10 points per game. Ratliff was the block leader and a pillar of the second defense. Jason- Terry is also very good, mainly because the lineup is well matched.
Needless to say, when we won the first championship in the third grade, the Eagles were at their peak in franchise history. Many experts and commentators felt that the Eagles with 70 wins and the Eagles with 73 wins were actually more dominant in terms of strength. Liu Mang and Raheem can be said to be a perfect combination, especially at that time, the three strongest frontcourt combinations of Raheem + Rasheed Wallace + Ratliff were at their peak, and the combination of O'Neal and Malone Even if Liu Mang with 73 wins is already a level better than Liu Mang with 70 wins, most people still think that the Eagles with 70 wins are the peak. After all, 16 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs is particularly outstanding.
And this time...
Marion is good, and Kwame Brown is also good, but there are several interior combinations in the league that are better than this one...
The outside line is much stronger, but he has won three consecutive championships. McGrady's concentration on the defensive end has obviously declined. Jason Terry was half-dead at one point and had a career-low efficiency value. The substitutes have been changed all over, and they are all first- and second-year players. After sustaining it, they also lost Prince and Korver, and acquired Grant Hill and Blake only halfway through the season. The other players, Swift and Mark Jackson, were waived by other teams.
Except for Eagles fans, not many people are optimistic that the Eagles can continue to win the championship, but no matter what, Liu Mang has to do his best.
Time soon came to March 28. The Hawks defeated the Celtics in an away game, improving their record to 55 wins and 20 losses, ending all games before the key battle with the Bulls.
Next, the Eagles get two days of rest, and on the 31st, they will face the Bulls for the first time this season.
…
…
"Dina, pinch here... yes, not the head, but the back of the ear... yes... it feels good..."
Liu Mang leaned on the little Lolita's thigh, enjoying the massage that the little Lolita had learned from somewhere.
Although he had been massaged by the massage master arranged by Xiao Zhan Zhan last night, how could Liu Mang refuse the little Lolita to show her new skills?
However, compared with the massage master who was familiar but still an outsider, the feeling was still very different from the little Lolita. Although there was no technique to speak of, the psychological feeling was very different.
However, it is still very important to relieve psychological pressure.
So far in the season, Liu Mang's changes from data to performance are still very big.
"Ability rating 97.
Left hand: 3-pointer 88, mid-range shot 81, layup 93.
Right hand: 3-pointer 97, mid-range shot 94, layup 95.
Speed: 94.
Strength: 90.
Bounce: 97.
Endurance: 95..."
Liu Mang looked at his ability rating. His right hand's shooting ability has reached a bottleneck again. For shooting, even if you work hard, there is a limit to its improvement. After 94, every little bit of improvement is a big bottleneck.
There may not be a particularly obvious difference between a 95 three-pointer rating and a 99 three-pointer rating in tactical play, and the difference may not even be seen.
But when that little bit of difference is needed, it will be very obvious, and it is very, very difficult to improve that little bit.
On the contrary, Liu Mang did not practice as much as his right hand, and he only used his left hand to shoot when he was forced to hit a dead corner to avoid the opponent's block, but he made greater progress.
The left-handed shooting made Liu Mang indistinguishable from the left-handed. That wonderful feeling, after Liu Mang's left-handed control ability became better and better, he became more and more accustomed to it, and his shooting proficiency became higher and higher, and slowly, his progress began to become obvious.
The main reason was that his left-handed shooting was too bad at the beginning. If he had the muscle memory of Liu Mang's right hand at the beginning, he would have improved much faster.
But now the three measurements of left-handed shooting are over 80, even if Liu Mang pretends to be a left-handed athlete, he can have the strength of a first-class star.
Recently, Liu Mang played in the game, and his opponents were neither strong nor weak, so he spent a lot of superstar value to experience the star cards to see if he could get any inspiration.
But "spending money" is not to say that there will be inspiration. He did draw the star card of Kevin Martin, whose peak ability rating was 86, the star card of Andre Miller, whose peak ability rating was 89, and the peak star card of Rudy Gay, whose ability rating was 86.
However, Liu Mang basically didn't learn anything from these few.
Kevin Martin's touch-and-roll skills are not as good as Liu Mang's. Liu Mang can't learn Andre Miller's low-post singles at all. His hips are more perky than Paul and Deron.
Rudy Gay, on the other hand, has a key ball skill that was digitized by the system and given to Liu Mang, but his effect on Liu Mang is average compared to those top key ball players. His strength is not particularly strong, not even at the All-Star level. If it weren't for his strong defense, Rudy Gay is really not as good as Kevin Martin. The gap in scoring ability between the two is huge.
In addition to these, there are some "decoration" star cards, Radmanovich star card, Aldridge star card... and some star cards of players whose names Liu Mang can't remember...
Not every effort is useful, but Liu Mang doesn't regret it. Even if he "wasted" hundreds of thousands of superstar points, that's it.
If you don't work hard, how can you know if you can make progress during this period?
Up to now, Liu Mang still has 210,000 superstar value. The remainder was used when replenishing the regular potion after playing against the Celtics yesterday. Some occasional small tasks were completed, which increased the superstar value more or less. The biggest increase was still playing against the Celtics, with 3,000 for each win...
The rogue value... is really against the sky...
I didn't play many crazy performances. The recent increase is not much less than when I played crazy performances before.
Liu Mang just found a TV station to shoot a few episodes of "Details" during the intervals between games, when the team did not give him training opportunities and he was bored.
Every episode of "Details" released is a carnival night for basketball fans, experts and commentators. Liu Mang's analysis of players is very different from the current NBA. It can be regarded as a combination of Kobe, Morey and data expert Hollins.
This is not Liu Mang's initiative to do so, but the basketball concept that Liu Mang received in the original time and space was just like that, and it has been subtly influenced by the so-called "basketball analysis" at that time.
Liu Mang didn't pay much attention to "Snake Studies" because he had no experience and didn't know how to promote it. He might have the opposite effect if he took the initiative to show off.
Rather than let it grow wildly, Liu Mang decided to take care of himself. If someone helped him increase his popularity and public status, he couldn't stop them.
Liu Mang's historical status in basketball began to rise unconsciously because of this incident.
Liu Mang was the first person to raise his historical status in basketball by treating the recording as an "entertainment program" at the beginning...
The rogue value has risen to more than 62.31 million. Liu Mang feels that this summer, he can draw the long-awaited high-level rogue value lottery!
Now that everything that needs to be prepared is almost done, we are just waiting for the game against the Bulls to test whether the progress brought about by recent efforts can defeat the Bulls, who have greatly improved their form after the All-Star break and have now gone 56 wins and 17 losses.
The Eagles had a very hard month in March, very hard from January to March, but there were only 6 games in April... other teams had 8 to 10 games...
The Bulls, for example, have only played 73 games now, while the Hawks have already played 75 games.
When Liu Mang was thinking about the next schedule, Little Loli said: "Uncle, Dinah is tired!"
"Then rest and watch TV."
"Uncle, Dinah has already given uncle a massage. Shouldn't uncle reward Dinah?"
"Okay...reward...reward?" Liu Mang got up from Little Loli's lap and asked weakly: "What do you want to buy?"
"It's nothing, it's just an electric car. Several of my female classmates have one, but Dinah doesn't have one..." The little loli's acting skills were superb, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
"You actually learned how to compare! No, Dinah, you are not that kind of girl, tell the truth!" Liu Mang immediately saw that this was a model for teaching crying scenes.
"Sure enough, I was discovered by the uncle. He is indeed Dinah's smartest uncle," the little Loli wiped her eyes, recovered immediately, and decisively flattered her. After a pause, she saw Liu Mang's expression was very helpful, and continued: "We formed a racing club, and everyone else bought it, except Dinah."
"You Americans have nothing to do, right? Why doesn't your teacher give you more homework? You are also allowed to run clubs. No wonder there are so many bullies on campus. Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy... By the way, how much is it? "Liu Mang thought of the most critical thing.
"It's not expensive, it's only over 70,000 yuan..." the little Loli said in a casual tone with twinkling eyes.
"Only more than 70,000 yuan...over 70,000 yuan!? Why don't you grab it!" Liu Mang said angrily, "Where is your pocket money? Where is the New Year's money? Have you used it up?"
"Dina bought stocks with her pocket money!" the little Loli said very forcefully.
"stock?"
"Yes, the stock that my uncle bought has gone up a lot. When my mother bought it, Dinah invested 500,000, and now it is almost 800,000." The little Loli's eyes were shining, as if she saw herself It turns into a picture of a little rich woman.
Americans are really different! Liu Mang never thought that little Loli's money would be spent on buying stocks. Indeed, after Apple officially displayed a physical product that refreshed people's concept of mobile phones at a press conference in February, Apple's stock price skyrocketed. It has almost doubled in a month, but again, if you buy now, you have already passed the first period of crazy rise. Even if sales start at the end of June, it will not rise as fast as the first wave. Of course, this is just start.
After lamenting the cultural differences between Americans and Chinese, Liu Mang said to the expectant and excited little Lolita: "Dina, please quit the group..."
…
…
In the end...Liu Mang still couldn't escape the tragic fate of losing 100,000 US dollars...
Liu Mang really couldn't refuse the little Lolita's persistent pursuit.
In addition to electric cars, there are also protective gear and various insurances... The insurance industry in the United States is extremely developed, and people do not reject it. Liu Mang bought as much as he could for the little Lolita.
In addition, the little loli had gifts, and the other two cubs and the other two girls also had gifts. Liu Mang bled a little this time.
Fortunately, Liu Mang's salary is now high, more than 17 million US dollars a year, which is higher than Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant. When he returned to Atlanta, he just went to the team to sign and receive his salary, and he felt a little more comfortable.
After resting at home for an afternoon and a night, on March 30, the Eagles began preparations for the game against the Bulls.
In previous games, the Hawks were experimenting with all the tactics they could think of to use against strong teams in the playoffs. What they have to do now is to pick out the high-speed rotation defense they are going to use against the Bulls, as well as the high-speed rotation defense of Garnett and Ben Ben. -Wallace's excellent defensive ability and offensive tactics.
But...very unexpected, very unexpected...
On the night of the 29th, Garnett sprained his ankle during a game against the New York Knicks.
It was nothing big at the time. Garnett played the entire game and the Bulls narrowly defeated the Knicks 81-77.
But this morning, the Bulls announced that Garnett suffered a serious ankle sprain and would not be able to participate in the game for the next week.
The Eagles confirmed this news through in-depth reports by scouts and some media sources. The Eagles confirmed that this matter is true.
If Garnett's ankle injury is slightly serious, the Hawks believe that the Bulls will not dare to take risks. Anyway, the top three in the Eastern Conference are stable. Letting Garnett rest well and prepare for the playoffs is the key.
The Eagles would do the same thing.
Although it is a pity that Garnett's Bulls cannot be used to practice tactics, for the Hawks, this is not a bad thing, and they can start the waiting mode for the playoffs.
For NBA games, when playing against a strong opponent, important players of the strong opponent may be suspended, which is an opportunity that must be seized.
Although it is a bit hard to say, any team will definitely try to seize this opportunity.
The Eagles had a bad record in the past few years. In addition to their overall strength in those years, Liu Mang became stronger year by year. He also unexpectedly traded Raheem for Tracy McGrady, making them look like a team starting from the 2004-05 season. Like a new team, in the year of defending the title, it rekindles the passion as if it has not yet won the championship.
But these are actually not as important as the lack of injuries. The Hawks have avoided the biggest setbacks experienced by many teams that failed to defend their titles.
Liu Mang is ready. If they lose to the Bulls, Liu Mang will record a sequel to the analysis of the Bulls stars, analyze the entire Bulls team, and make a five- or ten-episode series.
But if they win, then they can do it in three episodes, with Garnett for 20 minutes, Hinrich for 10 minutes, and Luol Deng for 10 minutes.
"My young master is really magnanimous. He doesn't bother with such a shameless and iron-blooded team. Three episodes will do..."
