Chapter 594 593. This Nickname Is Really Real!

"Ace, look at the news, you're so pissed off! I'm so angry that I want to jump off the plane!" Jason Terry has been complaining to his teammates since he met at the airport at noon, and finally It's Liu Mang's place.

The previous teammates gave Jason Terry a very satisfactory reaction, and they all complained about their own injustice, but Jason Terry was still not satisfied, so he came to find Liu Mang, a poisonous tongue, and scolded those reporters.

But... Liu Mang is so different.

Liu Mang pointed to the large cabinet under the chair and in front of the cabin: "Here are the life jackets. Our chartered planes are equipped with parachutes. Please use them in that cabinet."

"..." Jason Terry almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, "Ace! Aren't you angry? You are ranked second in the scoring list! They still can't understand you!"

"Just get used to it. It's impossible for me to be second in scoring all the time. We mainly focus on team basketball." Liu Wei was very open.

In 9 games, Liu Mang has reached 40+ twice!

For any star, this is an amazing performance. Liu Mang's scoring average has also risen to 28 points per game, but in recent games, it seems that he has shot a bit too much and his shooting percentage is a bit low. The average shot per game has abruptly increased to 25 times...

This is very unreasonable and unscientific, so the media’s praise of Liu Wei is not as violent as Liu Wei’s occasional 40+ points in the past two years. It may also be that Liu Wei has made people feel that it is not difficult for him to score 40 points. After all, he is one of the few scorers in NBA history who can score 50 points in his rookie season.

On the contrary, if Liu Mang continues to maintain such a high-scoring and high-scoring performance, it is very likely that he will be given the title of a scoring brush.

But generally speaking, people are still very satisfied with Liu Mang's explosive performance at the start. Except that he took a little more shots, he averaged 25 shots per game with a shooting percentage of 44%. For Liu Mang, who was quite efficient in the past two years Say too low.

What makes the Eagles most aggrieved is that they beat the Nets in two consecutive games. People are not discussing how strong the Eagles have become, but that the Nets' strength has declined this year!

The main reason is that Kidd and Byron Scott had a fierce quarrel in the locker room on the night after the Nets were eliminated by the Hawks in two consecutive games. Back in New Jersey, in order to appease Kidd, the Nets held a press conference early in the morning to fire Byron Scott.

A head coach who led the team to the Finals for two consecutive years in the past two years was fired after just 10 games in the new season. The best coach is even more sensational.

Then people subconsciously took the Eagles' victory over the Nets, as if the Nets were killed by the Eagles because of the decline in the strength of the team star and the head coach.

The Eagles players watched the two games they worked so hard to win, but they didn't get much positive praise, and they couldn't argue that they fired the head coach, so they could only silently curse the media in circles.

Of course, Liu Mang is not depressed? Certainly not, but he had happier things to do now.

"The roar of the gods: The Eagles' home fighting spirit is high, the players' excitement is increasing, and the morale of the visiting team is suppressed. Trigger conditions: the Eagles are playing at home, and Rasheed Wallace makes his debut."

His own team can be regarded as the home of the devil! The addition of Rasheed Wallace not only gave the Eagles a top defensive insider in the league, but also brought something even better. Not to mention Liu Mang's excitement, he is happy now, and the media's evaluations are all It's a trivial matter, and the game is not played by the mouth of the media.

Of course Liu Mang was not happy that his own team and his good performance had not received a fair evaluation, but after the happy things were offset, Liu Mang was very calm.

Only when you calm down can you think rationally. The performance of the Eagles in the playoffs in the past two years was indeed quite disappointing. The Eastern Conference failed to make it out. When the data is generally not recognized, it is normal for one's own team to be looked down upon.

Just like the original Pistons, they were swept by the Celtics and the Nets in the first two years, and the Celtics who swept the Pistons in the 01-02 season were easily defeated by the Nets, which is equal to the Pistons' first two. In the 2003-04 season, the Pistons were not expected to play against the Nets in the first round, the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Lakers in the Finals. Even if they have 54 wins in the regular season, the third-best record in the East since the new century, which is so much better than the Nets' record in the previous two years, they are still not optimistic.

Eagles to work hard! The Eagles are going to slap those media in the face!

After playing the Nets, the Eagles had no rest time. They flew to Indianapolis at noon the next day, ushering in the second and last back-to-back of this month. On the 17th and 18th, there were two back-to-back consecutive visitors. Beat the Pacers and Hornets.

The Eagles embarked on back-to-back away games with the mentality of sweeping everything to prove themselves, and then... were knocked to the ground.

Against the Pacers, they lost 89 to 93. Against the Hornets, they were scored 48 points by Mashburn. The team scored a super high score of 121 to 139.

The Eagles just wanted to slap the media in the face to prove themselves, but they immediately suffered a two-game losing streak.

Being too aggressive is sometimes bad. The two games have a common feature, that is, the mentality of the Eagles is to win a big victory over the opponent, and the Hawks have fought against the Nets in two consecutive games. The team consumes a lot of energy. It seems that it is not difficult to win the first game, and the second game is a big victory. However, the Eagles may be excited after winning. After a whole game of defense, the second game also relied on desperate defense to open the score at halftime, and only then broke the Nets in the second half. The physical consumption was a bit high. When playing against the Pacers and Hornets, The defensive end has become a little slack.

Especially when playing against the Pacers, the offense was also bad. When it was time to play against the Hornets, they were completely fighting against the Hornets.

The Eagles, who went to the away game with the idea of ​​a big victory, were seized by the two teams and gave the Eagles a head-on blow.

The Eagles' record suddenly changed from 8 wins and 1 loss to 8 wins and 3 losses.

This slap in the face did not succeed, but gave the media an excuse.

Fortunately, after the Hawks returned to the home court, their mentality finally stabilized. At first, it was 101 to 80. Liu Mang abused Arenas, who finally got a big contract and forced the league to revise the salary rules for the second round pick, on both offensive and defensive ends. With the bottom up, he scored 25 points and 9 assists to defend Arenas to 5 of 17 and only scored 14 points and 4 assists. The Hawks beat the Wizards at home to avoid a three-game losing streak.

Immediately after the loss of Payton and Cassel, the young version of the Bucks was led by Michael Reed alone. Liu Mang suppressed the opponent again. With 15 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, Prince defended Reed to only 9 points. The Eagles easily defeated the Bucks 97 to 83 at home and won two consecutive victories. They once again overtook the Pacers with 10 wins and 3 losses The record beats the Pacers to rank first in the league.

Although back to No. 1 in the league, the title of the Eagles' "food abuser" seems to be really confirmed...
