Chapter 600
On December 2, the Eagles' first game against the Grizzlies after entering the new game month started at Phillips Arena. .
This morning, the league announced the best players in the East and West during the first game month, that is, the period between the end of October and November. In the West, Garnett won the best player of the month with almost no suspense. Won the best of the week in the Western Conference for five weeks from the end of October to November, and updated the MVP rankings five times. Garnett ranked first three times, and Liu Mang took the other two first place.
The best of the month in the Eastern Conference was taken away by Jermaine O'Neal. Although he has not entered the top five of the MVP rankings, Jermaine O'Neal relied on the record of the Pacers to win the best of the Eastern Conference twice in the past month or so. Liu Mang only had one Player of the Week, and the other two were Baron Davis and Tracy McGrady. Although the Magic performed badly, McGrady performed very well personally.
...
Liu Mang was a little regretful that he didn't get the best of the month, but he just needs a better record.
Jermaine O'Neal has become the No. 1 power forward in the Eastern Conference this year. He is the only seedling in the Eastern Conference to compete with the Western Conference forward group. With his record and statistics not losing too much to Liu Mang, the league chose Jermaine O'Neal to become the best player of the month. Jia is no big problem.
Didn't get the best of the month, before the game tonight, the Eagles stars felt aggrieved for Liu Mang during the interview, the league's second average points per game, the Eagles record first in the league, this is not given , The Eagles have a strong sense of collective honor, so under Liu Mang's pressure, they unanimously decided to kill the Grizzlies.
After the start of the game at night, the Eagles suppressed the Grizzlies from the beginning with their five-game winning streak, and gave the Grizzlies, an offensive team, a head-on blow from the defensive end.
Gasol looked at Rasheed Wallace, who was about to eat him, and yelled at him for nothing. The referee didn't care. Iron and blood defense, the referee is the default for fierce confrontation, Gasol has a feeling of wanting to cry.
Just for an away game! It's just a regular season!
Rasheed Wallace looked at Gasol with a bitter face like a little daughter-in-law, and bullied him even more vigorously. It felt like Garnett bullied Gasol in the 2008 Finals, mainly relying on momentum to suppress , Gasol's statistics are not bad, and his shooting percentage is 50%, but he is the core of the tactics, and the entire Grizzlies feel scared.
Liu Mang originally wanted to have a good match with White Chocolate Jason Williams. When they played against the Grizzlies last season, the Eagles were in a chaotic period twice, and there was no chance of a good match.
But to Liu Mang's regret, Jason Williams is no longer White Chocolate, he plays more reasonably, and helps the Grizzlies even more. For the first time in his career, he hit 35% of the three-pointers He became an excellent open shooter, averaged less than two turnovers per game for the first time in his career, and had 7 assists. His assist-to-turnover ratio of close to 4 to 1 made him one of the most stable point guards in the league.
Jason Williams looks better, but he has lost his spirituality. Under Hubie Brown, a very imposing old coach, Jason Williams is no longer white chocolate, honestly It is of course the best for the Grizzlies to play the ball and use his top passing ability to sort out the offense. However, when Liu Mang and Jason Williams played against each other, they did not feel the same pressure as before. The current Jason Williams gives Liu Mang the feeling of facing Calderon in team training. Jason Williams is much better than the current Calderon, but the type is similar.
Liu Mang knew why Mike Woodson would let him guard Jason Williams when the defensive end relieved his pressure. It turned out that he had already studied that Jason Williams had become a simple, simple player. , Liu Mang was too easy to bully.
Lorenzen White, the blue-collar insider at the power forward position of the Grizzlies, was pressed and beaten by Ratliff when he entered the three-second zone. James Posey and Mike Miller were chased to death by Prince and Raheem of.
The main thing is Gasol, who was defended like a mad dog by Rasheed Wallace, and the entire Grizzlies team looked like they were being chased by a mad dog.
Since this season, Gasol has really made a name for himself in the NBA. According to statistics, Gasol has hit a career low in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks this year. He averaged only 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. The season is not as good, but it's all because he doesn't need to play for so long. The playing time has dropped from 36 minutes per game in the previous two years to 31 minutes. In terms of efficiency, it is a new career high! And the assists reached a career high of 4.1 times!
The main reason is that the Grizzlies led by Pau Gasol had the best start in team history this year, with 10 wins and 7 losses so far, beating the Kings and Mavericks, second only to the Timberwolves, Spurs, and Lakers in the West. Fourth in the West!
In the summer, the Trail Blazers had Antoine Walker, and they were unwilling to have Bunche Wells, a thorn in the side who got a 4-year 30 million contract and was still making noise, sent him to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies The team also dug out James Posey, a forward defender from the Rockets in the summer, plus the original Jason Williams, Mike Miller and other excellent players of the Grizzlies, as well as Battier, Swift As a high-quality substitute, Gasol returned to the center position and was completely liberated. Under the leadership of the 70-year-old old coach and historical coach Hubie Brown, the offense revolved around Gasol's comprehensive personal abilities. The Grizzlies This year is off to a start that has never been seen in team history.
Gasol's gorgeous and comprehensive skills began to shine under coach Hubie Brown, and people began to notice this handsome center who could serve as the axis to build a strong team.
With Rasheed Wallace becoming a role player in the eastward tour and Webber is basically determined to be reimbursed for the season, I don’t know how successful Webber will be after he comes back, because Weber suffered a knee injury that may destroy his career. Still kind of hurt.
In this case, Gasol, who led the Grizzlies' strong rise this year, and the Pacers' O'Neal, who also rose strongly this year, have become candidates who may be added to the position vacated by Weber among the four power forwards that the media said .
Gasol has really made a name for himself in the NBA this time.
Of course, when he became famous, more people noticed Gasol's weakness, that is, his soft personality. After he was swept in the playoffs, he would be called a soft guy.
If a player is not famous, even if he is swept in the playoffs, no one will remember him. Gasol was called a softie for so many years. It is purely because of the title of the next Webber, because Weber is also called soft egg.
And there will be a lot of people playing against Gasol, such as Rasheed Wallace now.
During the Eagles team meeting this morning, someone who asked not to be named, the second-best scorer, gave Rasheed Wallace a newspaper that read, "The new generation's most gorgeous power forward Paul Garcia Thor.
The content is probably that when Webber is injured and the future is unclear, O'Neal can only shoot mid-range shots, Garnett can only yell, Duncan has no expression, etc., Gasol and Rasheed Wallace have become the most offensive players in the league. Gorgeous power forward, and Rasheed - Wallace has become a role player, Gasol may be able to succeed Webber as the league's most gorgeous power forward.
The types of the four major forwards are the most iron-blooded, the most stable, the most capable of shooting, and the most gorgeous.
Without Liu Mang saying anything, Rasheed Wallace became angry all of a sudden.
Back then, he was a strong contender for the league's top power forwards with Webber and Nowitzki for the title of the other two best power forwards besides Duncan and Garnett. The first to reach the conference finals.
It’s just that the Blazers’ peak came and went quickly. Rasheed Wallace also set himself a historical record of 41 technical fouls in a single season. Rasheed Wallace’s reputation gradually became bad. Garnett's ability to be selected for both offensive and defensive ends at the same time failed to be selected among the four major power forwards in the media's mouth.
And now, Rasheed Wallace sees that he has been kicked out of the ranks of top power forwards, and Gasol, a big white soft, has actually become a candidate for the four major power forwards! Still the most powerful candidate!
Without Liu Mang's mobilization, Rasheed Wallace is going to prevent Gasol from death.
The fierce Eagles used defense to suppress the Grizzlies from the beginning. After Gasol, the strongest point, was solved by Rasheed Wallace as a pair, the other four positions of the Eagles took advantage. .
After halftime, the Eagles led 47 to 40 by 7 points.
The point difference is not too big, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Eagles clearly occupy the initiative on the field, but they are only defending with all their strength, consuming the fighting spirit of the Grizzlies.
In the first half, the Grizzlies could carry the Eagles' defense, but in the second half, the Grizzlies couldn't handle it anymore. Liu Mang scored 10 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, Jason Terry scored 11 points in a single quarter, and the two Working together to play an offensive shock wave helped the Eagles widen the point difference to 76 to 65 at the end of the three quarters, winning an 11-point lead and pulling the point difference to double digits.
At the end of the quarter, the Grizzlies still wanted to fight, but Gasol, who was defended desperately by Rasheed Wallace's terrifying face, finally couldn't hold back and completely softened.
Gasol can't open this point, and the Grizzlies playing around Gasol can't play anymore. The Grizzlies only scored 11 points in the final quarter, which is not as good as Jason Terry, who scored 13 points in the final quarter. many.
In the end, the Eagles defeated the Grizzlies 96 to 76. While continuing their winning streak and winning six consecutive victories, they pulled the Grizzlies from fourth in the West to fifth in the West.
Liu Mang scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in the game. Jason Williams' offense can be said to be very stable. Before Gasol collapsed, Jason Williams helped Gasol take the Grizzlies offense The connection is very good, but after Gasol was suspended by Rasheed Wallace, Jason Williams' steady play now does not have the kind of occasional flashes of inspiration to help the team complete an incredible comeback ability.
But Jason Williams, who is only 1.85 meters and thin, failed to limit Liu Mang on the defensive end. Liu Mang played 35 minutes and easily scored 27 points and 7 assists. However, the best player today is the substitute Jason Terry, who came up to explode, scored 31 points on 13 of 25 shots and became the best player of the game.
The Hawks' six-game winning streak was easy, and Gasol, who was targeted by Rasheed Wallace for the entire game, still didn't understand why Rasheed Wallace saw him. As if there was a revenge for killing his father and taking his wife, although Gasol still scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, from the scene it seemed that he was overwhelmed by the 11+9 Rasheed Wallace... …
Although he won the game, Liu Mang still had some regrets.
In addition to being a little jealous and making Liu Mang target Gasol in this game, there are two important points. The first is that he knows the importance of Gasol to his team. It's not difficult for the Grizzlies to deal with Gasol that way.
The second is the task of the Avengers. Liu Mang wants to beat Gasol to the point of revenge against the Eagles, so maybe there will be a task?
But unexpectedly, Gasol was abused and did not respond at all.
After asking the system, Liu Mang found out that Gasol had no desire to fight against Liu Mang. As a player of the same class, Gasol was probably one of the first few players to be convinced by Liu Mang...
...
After the Grizzlies, the Eagles ushered in back-to-back games against the Knicks.
Due to the tight schedule recently, the Hawks had to rest Ratliff and Stockton when they played the Knicks back-to-back.
Although Muhammad has moved to the starting power forward position and Rasheed Wallace has moved to the center position, there is still a gap between Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff's inside meat grinder defense.
Muhammad is usually the fifth insider, and he mainly plays for Rasheed Wallace. The tacit understanding between the two is mediocre. Kwame Brown also needs to improve. , but at any rate as a substitute, he can still play well. Kwame Brown’s main reason is that his golf quotient is not very high. He needs someone to give pointers. For example, Ratliff goes up and puts a few rounds first. Yes, go up and take pictures of cats and tigers, and you can really perform well.
What Kwame Brown lacks is experience. The first two seasons basically did not give him a chance to accumulate experience, so Kwame Brown really wants to talk about it, but it is a bit like an older rookie who wasted two years. Fortunately, I have played for two years. I don’t have much time, but I have experienced the feeling of the NBA. I have played more than a dozen starts in two years. It is not as bad as the original Milicic wasted talent.
From the 28th of last month to today is four games in six days. In this back-to-back game against the Knicks, the Eagles did not play as well as the Knicks after the start of the game. Alan Houston, who was at the end of the peak, played strongly. 14 of 22 scored 33 points, and Van Horn scored 27 points. Under the leadership of these two, the Knicks performed fiercely today.
The Knicks took a 14-point lead 53-39 at halftime.
In the second half, Liu Mang and Jason Terry tried to lead the team to counterattack again, but today the Knicks pitchers were as high as they were, and they played against the Eagles in the third quarter.
Speaking of which, after the madman left, the Knicks played even better! Under the leadership of Howard Eisley and Charlie Ward, the Knicks' team offensively played much better than before. The East is only behind the Eagles, Pacers, Pistons, Nets, and Hornets, ranking sixth in the East, beating the Heat and Celtics.
In the end, with Liu Mang scoring 26 points, the Hawks still lost to the Knicks 89-96 in the second back-to-back game at home. The Knicks improved their record to 8 wins and 10 losses, sixth in the Eastern Conference Sit more firmly.
The Eagles' record dropped to 14 wins and 4 losses. Although they are still the first in the league, they are only one win away from the Pacers' 13 wins and 5 losses.
With this winning advantage, the Eagles can't relax at all, because the most difficult schedule in the first two months has arrived.
After losing to the Knicks, the Eagles got two days off, and then they will soon have a four-game streak of the Heat plus a terrifying trip to Texas!
