Chapter 1527 1526. Wade's Enlightenment (Asking for Monthly Votes)

The Lakers lost, and there was one more person that No. 24 player hated so much.

As long as Jason Terry performs well, that big mouth will scream loudly.

In the Lakers locker room, everyone else went to take a shower.

Losing to the Hawks... For the Lakers players, apart from being a little aggrieved by the loss and having doubts about their lives after being shot by an explosive player from the opponent, it actually didn't have a particularly big impact.

Compared to the players on the Eagles, who are not used to losing since they partnered with Liu Mang, the Lakers' loss... didn't take a big blow. The Lakers originally regarded the Eagles as their ultimate opponent.

The Hawks' super perimeter group has already made the Lakers very afraid. In fact, compared to the Hawks' super perimeter group, the Eagles' group of insiders with completely different playing styles is their headache.

Yao Ming did find a way to beat Gasol, but using his dreamy footsteps is more energy-intensive than his strong attack in the low post. If we play a series, it is not a long-term solution. The Lakers still have to find a way.

Marion, Kwame Brown, Scola, Brad Miller and others have their own characteristics on the offensive or defensive end, which also gives the Lakers a headache.

The two teams relied on their internal and external strength to fight a close match under normal performance. What they have to do is to use their own advantages.

The Eagles' advantage in today's game is on the outside. Jason Terry broke out, showing the Eagles' advantage.

The Lakers lost precisely because they failed to take full advantage of their inside advantage and failed to defeat the Hawks.

The performance of the Hawks and Lakers is actually similar. The key lies in Jason Terry's explosion. Odom is versatile but not refined. He cannot explode in scoring like Jason Terry. This is a disadvantage of inside superstars compared to outside players. Of course, the Lakers also have their advantages. The inside line is more stable. Jason Terry can be super, but he is often super.

Just know where the problem is and find a way to solve it.

Therefore, winning or losing in the regular season is not that important when thinking from another perspective. It is more important to gain lessons and experience.

And the Lakers have too many troubles to face. After losing to the Hawks, the Lakers dropped to fifth place in the Western Conference. They really lost two players in one game!

The Hawks are the Lakers' ultimate goal and last imaginary enemy. For the time being, the Lakers still have to solve the problems in the Western Conference.

However, when the rest of the Lakers team went to take a shower, there was a Lakers player who had not yet taken off his No. 24 jersey and was holding the TV set in a sultry manner. He gritted his teeth with hatred as he watched the live interview after the live broadcast of the game.

"I was just tired last season. We had won three consecutive championships before. Of course we would be tired, and then a villain would steal a championship. We defeated them twice in the finals before, and they won once. This year I With better backup teammates, I can rest and play, and when it's my turn to play, I will step up and beat the opponent, like today... Is he an MVP contender? There is only one MVP in the world, and he is there. I'm standing next to you and stealing my camera..."

Watching the big-mouthed Jason Terry talking nonsense on TV, and the other No. 24 next to the big-mouthed man, No. 24 in the Lakers locker room really wanted to strangle these two guys...

…

…

"Hey, Dwyane, what are you doing? You've gone back to the hotel. Before tomorrow comes, we have a party when we go back." Liu Mang called out to Wade, who was standing in front of the closet, seemingly stunned.

"Ah? Oh, okay..." Wade reacted, took the bag he had just packed, and followed Liu Mang to the parking lot to take the bus.

Hurrying slowly, the Eagles and others finally returned to the hotel before 12 o'clock.

Of course, you can bring your family with you when you come to Los Angeles this time. After all, you are going away to spend Christmas.

There are actually four days between these two away games. The next game is on the 30th, playing the Mavericks away from home. After the Christmas game, the Eagles have four days to rest. Boss Price is very straightforward. We booked the hotel for the night of the 28th and went to Dallas on the 29th.

They have been training in the hotel during their breaks these days. The seaside hotel where they stay has indoor and outdoor basketball courts.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, the Eagles set off fireworks on the beach.

This was something Levia applied to the city hall on the day she came to Los Angeles, and she just had to pay some fees.

All Eagles players took their families or girlfriends to enjoy the fireworks. Late at night and early in the morning, many people were attracted to the beach to watch the fireworks show.

But there was a strange person at this time, and he was Wade.

After the game, Wade was in a daze from time to time.

Today's game was incredible for Wade.

The Lakers performed like that, and they were able to hold down the other side. Wade was stunned by the strength of the Three Eagles.

His performance today was not outstanding. He only hit 4 out of 10 shots and scored 12 points, but he still won!

Looking at Liu Mang poking his son in the face with disgust, Wade didn't expect that partnering with Liu Mang would give him a new understanding of basketball.

Perhaps most people are paying attention to Jason Terry's 7 consecutive three-pointers and 8 of 10 in a single game, but what Wade noticed was Liu Mang's 37 points and 22 assists...

So stable!

From the first quarter to the end, Liu Mang maintained stability. Without Liu Mang's stable performance, there would be no chance for Jason Terry to break out!

Partnering with such teammates, Wade felt that his understanding of basketball was subverted.

Even though he was heavily defended, he still had a high hit rate of 14 of 24 shots, and steadily led the team to maintain the leading advantage.

In the last game against the Heat, the opponent was too weak. Wade didn't have any special feeling about the strength of his team's three super outside players, but he knew they were powerful.

But sitting on the bench and watching the three eagles go crazy...

Wow, Wade finally understood what a real championship team is!

…

The game between the Hawks and the Lakers took away all the attention of the previous four games.

At the beginning, the most popular thing was Jason Terry's 8 of 10 three-pointers, which was the key to the Hawks' victory.

However, as time went on, more people noticed how good Liu Mang was, and how great the Hawks' inside combination, which seemed to be either old or young except for the Buma combination, was.

Without a super inside player, the Hawks played this multi-functional, all-round, and characteristic inside combination, which has repeatedly worked wonders!

Especially Liu Mang's data!

37 points... This is nothing for a super scorer who once averaged 38+ points per game in a single season.

But 22 assists are amazing, breaking Paul's season high of 21 assists per game this season!

22 assists per game, ranked second in Liu Mang's personal assists per game, making Liu Mang's assists per game increase by 0.43 after playing 29 games, and Liu Mang's assists per game averaged 10.2 assists per game!

People think it is unlikely that Liu Mang will be the assist king. Paul and Nash are competing fiercely. Paul averages 12.4 assists per game and Nash averages 12.2 assists per game. The two are too far ahead. Unless Liu Mang has five or six consecutive single-game 20+ assists, it will be difficult to get close.

The gap of two assists per game is still very large.

However, Liu Mang surpassed Deron Williams, who averaged 10.1 assists per game, and ranked third in the assists list!

There are a total of five players who average more than 9 assists per game this season. According to the number of assists, they are Paul, Nash, Liu Mang, Deron and Allen Iverson.

Iverson averaged 9.5 assists per game, continuing to refresh his personal career high.

Since last season, Iverson has averaged 9+ assists per game, but 9+ assists per game is probably the limit of what Iverson can do, after all, he still averages 20 points per game.

The main point is that Liu Mang averaged 26.8 points and 10.2 assists per game. This is the second time in Liu Mang's career that he averaged 25+10 per game. In addition to Liu Mang, there are only three players in the entire NBA history who can average at least 25 points per game and at least 10 assists per game in a single season, namely Nuggets legend Michael Adams, Kings legend Knight Archibald, and triple-double king Oscar Robertson.

Big O is special. He averaged 30+10 per game 5 times...

Before the new generation of triple-double kings averaged 30+ points per game for two consecutive seasons, this data is too rare.

It is even rarer to be able to win and explode with such data.

So far, among the players who averaged at least 25 points and 10 assists per game in a single season, only Liu Mang has won the championship.

After this game with the Lakers, Liu Mang's second best player of the month this season is one step closer!

…

From the 26th to the 28th, in three days, the Hawks coaching staff prepared for the remaining four consecutive away games.

The Hawks players felt fresh in changing the place to train. It was too difficult to stay in Los Angeles for five consecutive days during the season, unless it was the finals, and it was unlikely to be in the regular season.

Playing against the Lakers was the beginning of the Hawks' five consecutive away games. Next, they will play against the Mavericks on the 30th, the Hornets in the New Year's Game on January 1, the Cavaliers on January 3, and the Pacers on January 5. After playing against the Pacers to end the five consecutive away games, they will return to their home court on the 6th to play back-to-back against the Nets.

There are 16 games in January, and the Hawks' schedule has begun to tighten.

However, compared with the situation in the past few years when they often played 17 games in January, it is much better.

From the 26th to the 28th, for three consecutive afternoons, the Hawks conducted targeted tactical training against the Mavericks, Hornets, and Cavaliers respectively.

After all, after the next four away games, there is only one day of rest in between, and they have to take a plane, so the preparation time can only be compressed to the morning of the game. This is also the reason why the 82 games in the regular season are so criticized, there is too little preparation time.

Of course, since we are in Los Angeles, we can sleep in or go out in the morning, anyway, the team agrees that all players can bring their families.

Originally, Liu Mang wanted to get close to the Lakers brothers and be happy if he won, but the Lakers left Los Angeles on the 27th, and they have a game on the 28th.

But it doesn’t matter. Liu Mang enjoys the warm climate of Los Angeles, spends time with his family, and trains, which is also pretty good.

In addition, Liu Mang also received a letter from a special fan...
