If there is a keyword search ranking list on the Internet now, Liu Mang is on the Internet of China and the United States, two major basketball countries, and Liu Mang's Chinese and English names are likely to be popular in China and the United States...
The Eagles defeated the 76ers and won another five consecutive victories. This is not important. People thought that the Eagles had a high chance of winning.
Liu Mang's 36 points were higher than Iverson's 35 points. This is not important. Iverson also scored 11 assists, while Liu Mang only had 7.
The opponents who played against Iverson have had a hard time overtaking Iverson in recent years, whether it is Iverson who scored wildly before, or Iverson who is now combining sudden shots.
Liu Mang is full of topics again today, because he once again contributed a classic scene, poor Arenas, if Arenas still has a lore shot in the future, he will celebrate. People can only be regarded as imitating Liu reckless.
Liu Mang's pretentiousness once again made him the focus of media and fans' discussions.
Liu Mang's self-confident and arrogant celebration after his three-point shot will become a scene that will be marked in this season and even in the history of the NBA. Of course, this requires Liu Mang to play a very good career. Better than Arenas.
...
But pretending to be struck by lightning, this truth has never changed. When the Hawks played against the Nets the next day, only Liu Mang with good physical strength went up and was destroyed by the Nets. Raheem and Ratliff The two were really tired from playing yesterday. They played against the Nets today. They will definitely go all out when they play, and there will be a back-to-back next. This makes Coach Kruger very worried about the health of the two. After all, Ratliff once Has a season-ending injury history when the Sixers were used as Dikembe Mutombo.
Originally, Coach Kruger was very anxious, whether he wanted to reduce the playing time of the two.
However, reducing playing time will inevitably lead to a decline in the data of Raheem and Ratliff, and they will definitely not be satisfied.
Originally, it was not a good time to rest in rotation this year, but seeing that the opponent was the Nets, coach Kruger suddenly remembered the strategy of rotating in last season, so he simply found an excuse, saying that the two were too tired to play last night and their muscles were tense.
The strategy of the Eagles is, in February and March, against the three teams in Lake Ma, they will win if they can win. Now the Eagles have a winning percentage of 52 percent. They will only need to maintain this winning percentage until the end of March and make it to the playoffs.
The most difficult part for the Eagles now is that there are too many back-to-backs!
Generally speaking, there are 29 teams in the league, and the number of back-to-backs for each team is between 14 and 19, including 14 and 19. Only the Kings, the Eagles and the Lakers, and the Celtics have only 14 back-to-backs this season. There are 15 back-to-back people in Walt, which is quite small. It is divided into six months, less than 3 times a month.
But it’s hard to die, the Eagles only had 5 back-to-backs in the first three months, one in April, and the remaining 9 back-to-backs were piled up in February and March, 4 in February, and 5 in March.
For such a schedule, the Eagles can only choose to give up the game in order to maintain their health.
This is the case with the Nets. Originally, the Nets with Kidd were a big boss in the Eastern Conference. The Eagles just played an offensive tug-of-war that was close to the end of the court. Boom's tug-of-war consumes a lot.
However, fortunately, the Eagles won the 76ers, so the planned two opponents choose one to win, and it becomes much easier. Coach Kruger let Liu Mang start with Prince and Barnes , Boozer, and Kevin Wesley's lineup was beaten by Kidd.
This lineup is really pitiful to me, it's miserable... In fact, it's okay, the Nets played for a few minutes and found that the Eagles were indeed helpless. Except for Liu Mang and Boozer's pick-and-roll cooperation, no one else Just rushing with the ball to win and throw it against the defense, Kidd played for a while and then took a rest. The Nets used a lineup without Kidd, and they all pressed three rookies, a sophomore, and a senior. The ten-year-old veteran played.
The Nets didn't beat the Eagles to death either, mainly because the two teams didn't look up and down. Coach Scott couldn't beat the Eagles to death. The Eagles started Liu Mang and replaced Jason Te Now, if you really want to run wild and fight hard, the Nets will also be hurt. Since the Hawks have allowed Liu Mang and Jason Terry to collect statistics in the starting lineup and the bench lineup respectively, Coach Scott expressed victory. We take it, you take the data.
The Nets are very afraid of the Eagles. If they really want to fight, Coach Scott and Kidd are not very willing.
Coach Scott and Kidd have been wondering how the Hawks seem to know their style of play like the back of their hands, and always have some weird tricks to use against them.
So the Nets are not willing to fight with the Eagles so early. Since the Eagles gave up the game strategically, they are happy to see Jason Terry brushing up the data.
The Eagles are already unstoppable in the playoffs, and the Nets are powerless to stop them. However, as the strongest team in the East, the Nets have the strength to choose their opponents in the first round of the playoffs. Now the Nets want to take the Eagles Suppressed to eighth in the Eastern Conference, handed over to the Pistons to deal with.
There is not much suspense. The Eagles lost 85 to 99 at home to the Nets. Although Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Boozer scored 69 points and the three scored 20+, the loss is inevitable. The Eagles The team is missing one of the league's strongest small forwards and an inside defensive gate. No matter how they do it, they can't handle the Nets.
However, Boozer scored 21+15 in the face of Kenyon Martin, and his scoring and rebounding set new career highs. The dissatisfaction with strategically giving up the game also disappeared. After all, the Eagles played the Nets, which is a popular game, and the average price is over a hundred, which is expensive.
But the Eagles also have something to say in this game: Our team traded Kukoc for the No. 1 pick!
As for the big dog... whoever he loves.
...
...
After losing to the Nets, the Eagles' record became 23 wins and 21 losses. After a day of rest, the second home game came back to back, playing the Pistons and the Kings.
On February 6, the Eagles first ushered in the menacing Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons this season feel a bit "cynical" and feel that the whole world is targeting them. The Nets deliberately sent them to No. 1 in the East, and the Eagles "deliberately" wanted to beat them at No. 8. To surpass them, they lost two more games in a hurry and dropped to third place in the Eastern Conference.
This made the Pistons feel the humiliation of the Raptors. The Pistons now feel like the 12-13 season, when the Big Four of the Nets were first formed, they deliberately lost at the end of the regular season and abused the Raptors.
Originally, at the end of the season, the Nets deliberately gave up the first place to the Pistons in order to avoid the mighty Tracy McGrady. After entering 2003, the Magic began to decline, and finally fell to eighth in the Eastern Conference, but now it is a little earlier. , The one who wanted to avoid in the first round was replaced by the Eagles.
When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous.
Coach Carlisle was robbed of the best coach of the rookie coaching season by Coach Kruger, and Ben Wallace was robbed of the best defensive player by Ratliff. There was a big explosion in this game, which caught the Eagles off guard.
The main reason is that I didn't expect that the Pistons would play so aggressively in the middle of the season. It was a violent physical confrontation, and the Eagles were caught off guard.
Moreover, the Hawks themselves have been on a tight schedule since the middle of last month. The state of the past two days has been average. In the belief that the Pistons will desperately want to win, the Eagles were wiped out.
71 to 91, the Eagles suffered a two-game losing streak at home...
Immediately after that, it was back-to-back. Before the Eagles could breathe a sigh of relief, the Kings, the second super team in the Western Conference, came...
The Kings were ready to do big things last summer. On the basis of the original five tigers Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Webber, Divac and high-quality substitutes Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson, the introduction Jim Jackson, one of the former Dallas 3Js, Keon Clark, the No. 13 pick of the 98th generation, who averaged 11+7 per game last season, the Raptors' rookie contract expired, and Gerald Wallace, a rookie in 2001 Showing the potential to defend the gate, this team's lineup is more terrifying than last season.
Playing against the Eagles who were in the fatigue period, the Kings easily won the game 112 to 91. The Eagles suffered a three-game losing streak at home...
...
Finally, on February 9th, the Eagles' fifth opponent in six consecutive home games was finally able to abuse food, and the Eagles almost burst into tears!
Cavaliers!
This team is digging a solid huge hole so that the little emperor will have no hope and no way out in the future... No, it is to welcome the arrival of the little emperor and selflessly provide other teams with victories.
The Cavaliers are like a philanthropist this year. Whoever encounters a record crisis, they will decisively send it up, unplug their clothes, wash them, and wait for the opponent's luck.
The Eagles finally stopped their losing streak at home. The three Eagles combined to score 90 points and won a 123-91 victory, raising the winning percentage to more than 50%, 24 wins and 23 losses...
...
...
If the three-game losing streak has any "benefits" for the Eagles, it is that the loss is early, the point difference is opened early, and the main players of the Eagles have a long rest.
Not to mention, the physical crisis of the Hawks' main players has been fully relieved by being forced to "rest" for almost a week. When they played against the Cavaliers, they could already see that Jason Terry and Prince The feel began to recover.
This is a huge plus for the Eagles.
Because, the next opponent is the most terrifying devil in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers who have ruled the league for the past three years!
The Hawks host the Los Angeles Lakers in their last game before the All-Star break.
And the Lakers, who are also the last game before the All-Star Weekend, came to Atlanta as early as when the Eagles played the Cavaliers!
