Chapter 694: 693. Wade, Who Has Learned Badly

Returning with eight consecutive victories, the main reason is to win all six consecutive victories. For the Eagles, the mental and physical exhaustion caused by the tight schedule was swept away!

It looks like it will win 50 wins, and it only took 4 months to get 50 wins. Even the Jazz, which is as strong as Stockton once led, has not achieved such an achievement!

This is an achievement that can only be accomplished by a team that has won more than 65 wins, and the teams that have won 65 wins are all historical super teams. In the entire history of the NBA, only 5 teams have achieved 65 wins. + Wins, three each for the Lakers and Bulls, two each for the Celtics and 76ers, one for the Bucks, and none for the others.

Among the teams that have won 65+ games, only the Bulls in 1996, the Lakers in 1972, and the Celtics in 1973 won 50 games before losing 10 games. In the more than 50 years of NBA history, no fourth team has the opportunity to accomplish such an achievement!

Now the Eagles, it's possible to be a part of it!

When thinking of such an achievement in front of them, the morale of the Eagles players is even higher.

The next morning after playing against the Pistons, the Eagles returned to Atlanta. They didn't have much time to rest, and they tried to catch up on sleep if they had time. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the players came to the Phillips Arena to warm up.

Originally, the Hawks and the Heat played back-to-back matches that did not attract much attention. Even at the end of the All-Star Weekend, the Hawks had won 43 games, and no one would have expected that the Hawks would win all of them in a six-game winning streak. , But the Eagles really did it!

The game against the Heat has become a game where the Eagles are likely to win the fastest team to 50 wins since the new century. All of a sudden, the attention of this game is overwhelming!

...

"Uncle, uncle..." The little loli who was led by Liu Mang tugged at the corner of Liu Mang's clothes.

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you come to pick up Dinah with your mother today?"

"I want you to manage!"

"Hmph, there must be something wrong."

"Go, go, find a place to play by yourself, here is your wallet, don't lose it..."

"Uncle is the best, Dinah has to buy a lot of things..."

Liu Mang felt heartbroken that his wallet was going to be flat again, the salary that was paid just now!

Before the training started, Liu Mang and Levia first went to bring the school’s Dinah and Alexia to the arena, and Levia and Alexia went shopping. Liu Mang didn’t know why women were so rude She loves shopping, but Little Loli has been following Liu Mang to visit the Eagles' warm-up training.

In fact, this little loli wants Liu Mang to give her her wallet. Even if she goes shopping with Levia and Alexia, the two of them will not buy things for her. It will cost her herself to buy things. The money, because the pocket money has already been given, Americans value this aspect very much, and cultivate children's planning ability.

However, it may be heredity, Dinah picked it up...

...

Liu Mang sent Dinah to the commercial area of ​​the arena, went back to the locker room and changed into training clothes, received massage and stretching, and then came to the training ground to warm up.

Today the team opened the pre-match interviews for the whole team. There are already many reporters in the training ground. Most of Liu Mang's teammates have also arrived except Stockton, who is older and needs more massage and stretching time.

Looking at this group of overly active teammates, Liu Mang couldn't help but slander, except on the interview day, how could this group of people be so active when back to back! He actually warmed up before him.

Seeing Liu Mang coming, a group of reporters surrounded him.

"Ace, are you confident of winning 50 games today?" A local reporter in Atlanta asked. Even a reporter with a good relationship with him couldn't help asking this question. The Eagles have never completed such a performance in team history. .

Sports in Atlanta, in the four major leagues, apart from the Falcons winning a Super Bowl in 1998, there is no other major honor. The time the Eagles won the championship was not in Atlanta.

This time the Eagles have come to today step by step, heading for the best record in the NBA since the new century. The excitement of the fans and the media can be imagined.

"50 wins? Of course, since we've reached this point, let's get 50 wins tonight!" Liu Mang said easily.

Another reporter asked: "Ace, do you think anyone on the Heat team can pose a threat to you tonight? Who do you think is the most difficult player for the Heat team to deal with?"

"..." What kind of question is this, Liu Mang looked at the person who asked the question, a reporter from the South Coast Cruise News? It seems to be the media in Miami! No wonder you ask this question.

How should I answer? Originally, Liu Mang didn't want to say anything, just suppress the Heat well, but everyone asked this way, the bad water in Liu Mang's stomach couldn't help tumbling, and soon he had an idea.

Liu Mang looked like he was thinking, and said after a few seconds: "The Heat players are all good, but their best player is probably Dwyane. He is the most difficult to deal with because of Dwyane. , They can play to this point, Dwyane is like I said, he is only 5 centimeters shorter than Michael, you see, Michael led the team in his rookie year is not as good as him, the Heat players should thank Dewyane Wynn, not Dwyane, they have no chance of making the playoffs..."

Seeing Liu Mang's disagreement with Wade, the media felt weird, as if... Liu Mang only praised Wade!

How deep is this love for Wade?

On the other side of the visiting team's training ground, Wade was being interviewed, and suddenly felt a very dangerous feeling, as if someone was calling him handsome!

...

...

A few hours later, Wade walked onto the court at Phillips Arena with a very bad face, very bad.

Originally, the atmosphere in the Heat team this year was quite good.

Wade, a talented little brother, is also a little brother that his teammates take good care of. However, the atmosphere of the Heat team is a bit weird now.

Because someone put all the credit for the substantial improvement in the Heat's record this year on one person.

This sounds like a big show, because the person who said this is now the hottest player in the NBA, the most popular MVP, the most popular scoring leader, and the most voted leader in the history of the All-Star Game.

But no one wants to be in the limelight like this. This kind of limelight sounds awesome, but Wade feels like sitting on pins and needles now. He feels that the eyes of his teammates have changed when they look at him.

After entering the stadium, seeing the fans all wearing dark blue "Rogue League" Eagles version of the team T-shirts, and a large number of fans holding signs with the number "50", Wade's face became even more gloomy.

"Dwyane, don't take it to heart, that guy is using you as a weapon, and this is the praise you deserve, don't mind what your teammates think." Haslem said with a hook on Wade's shoulder.

Although they are all rookies, Wade is also a mature enough older rookie, but Haslem is obviously more mature than Wade. As a rookie, he already has the feeling of the leader of the locker room, taking care of the little brother.

"It's okay, Udo, I got it." It's not that Wade doesn't know that Liu Mang regards him as a weapon to alienate his team. If he is used as a weapon in this regard, it is not particularly difficult for him to accept. He wants to be the boss, there is no doubt about it, and he is more eager to be the boss than he was in the original history, because he has entered the NBA because of Liu Mang's existence in his life. Attracted attention from the start.

Wade is very happy to be recognized by a top player in the league.

What made Wade the happiest was that the media did not deny Liu Mang's words, and they kept Liu Mang's original words as news, and even fans on the Internet agreed with Liu Mang's statement.

But, you have to show your displeasure, right?

In the entire rookie class, Wade is considered very good. In the Heat, he is also very good, but he is not the best one. Even Eddie Jones can be compared with him because he is only a rookie. Compared with Lamar Odom, who is called a left-handed magician by Pat Riley, his talent is almost not at the same level. That guy's talent is really good. If he plays seriously, Wade will feel that he is being suppressed. Can't breathe.

Therefore, Wade must learn to be a man with his tail between his legs. He now needs the support of veterans, so he must "stay united."

Wade and Liu Mang are in the same company and the same agent, and Schwartz received the most advice, which is to learn Liu Mang's way of dealing with people.

It's just that I seem to be a bit biased in learning, so I learned to be black-bellied.

While Wade was still expressing his dissatisfaction with the Eagles, the home team started for the second time. When Liu Mang played, he received the highest cheers from the audience. Wallace's more violent cheers startled Wade. When did the atmosphere of Atlanta fans become so fanatical?

Just like every player who has been here before and for the first time since Rasheed Wallace's Devil's Roar's Devil's Home buff appeared, the Heat would have reacted badly to Liu Mang's remarks The players all felt restless and depressed all over their bodies!

Wade looked at the "monster" level players who ran out of the home team's player tunnel, plus the substitutes standing next to him, and Ratliff who stood up and applauded behind the bench, Wade wanted to choose a dog leash... …

They are all playoff teams, how can there be such a big gap!

Fortunately, Wade remembered in his heart that Pat Riley told him not to worry. After the Eagles have survived the year with the easiest salary pressure and the strongest players, it will be time for the Heat to operate.

Wade trusts Pat Riley very much, very trusting, because in Wade's mind, what Pat Riley said has never been missed.

It mainly comes from Pat Riley's declaration in the 1980s when he defended his title boldly and successfully defended his title in the second year, which made him feel like the godfather of "whatever he says" in the minds of many players. His personal charm is really nothing to say.

Wade began to fantasize, if only one player from the Eagles could be dug, Jason Terry? Or Ratliff? It would be best if it was Raheem, or Ace?

Wade looked at Liu Mang, and couldn't help shivering. With such a teammate, he seemed to see himself being dragged to the game hall to play arcade machines every day...

...

Ten minutes later, with Rasheed Wallace's roar, the audience became irritable!

After Liu Mang and Boozer embraced, they both stepped onto the court. Prince, Raheem, and Rasheed Wallace started together. Ratliff took back-to-back rests.

Heat side, Wade, Eddie - Jones, Caron - Butler, Haslem, Lamar Odom debut.

As an undrafted pick, Haslem slammed and squeezed Brian Grant to the bench.

As the fifth team in the East with a winning percentage of over .500, the Heat's Odom is now very Buddha-like. The jump ball was a beat slower and lost to Rasheed Wallace. The Eagles went first.

The current mobility of the Heat team is nothing to say. Haslem is a short power forward with a height of 2.03 meters, and Odom is a power forward with guard-level speed, plus three perimeter players with excellent physical fitness , Facing any team in the league, the speed will not suffer.

However, the speed is not at a disadvantage, there is a yarn for it!

The Eagles didn't hit Liu Mang's first ball in the opening game. Liu Mang directly handed the ball to Boozer in the low post. Boozer pushed Haslem over the top and hit a two-point jumper without any interference.

With a very targeted offense, the Eagles started from the inside.

The first-year player Haslem, who was bullied by the second-year players, felt desolate: "Why is it different from what the coach said!"

In today's game, the Eagles played differently from the beginning. The main reason is that Brian Grant, the veteran defensive engineer with the best defense inside the Heat, lost his starting position. The Heat want to train more Haslem, now Haslem looks like the next Ben Wallace, no less statistically than Ben Wallace of the same age.

And the life experience is similar, slums, colleges are not favored, the draft is not selected...

It's just that although Haslem is also very fierce, he is only fierce, and his defensive ability is far behind Ben Wallace of the same age.

And Odom, another insider of the Heat... is very good at defending seriously, the key is that he is serious!

The Eagles used two insiders to gouge in turn at the beginning, and soon the Heat fell into a foul crisis inside.

In terms of the Heat's offense, Wade can only rush in with the explosive bag, or give Eddie Jones the mid-range and long-range singles on the two wings. The effect can only be said to be good. The Eagles targeted Wade. After the inside, there are not many whistles this season, it is difficult for Wade to send the ball to the basket when the opponent is targeting the defense.

On the other hand, Eddie Jones, who ranks 10th in the league with an average of 2.2 three-pointers per game, performed surprisingly well against Prince in singles.

At the beginning, Eddie Jones scored a few consecutive goals, and the Heat withstood the impact of the Eagles.

Hitting the official timeout, the Eagles were 15 to 14, leading the Heat by only one point at home. The Heat started well, thanks to Eddie Jones' three-pointers in four and three.

But when it came to the rotation stage, Liu Mang and Jason Terry made waves, and after the crazy rebounding combination of Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown was replaced inside, the Eagles started a wave. .

From the second half of the first quarter to the entire second quarter, Liu Mang and Jason Terry shot crazy. Liu Mang also broke through the inside and scored. Jason Terry just threw and threw. Points and 8 assists, helping the Eagles score 57 points at halftime!

As for the Heat, after Eddie Jones felt down, there was only Wade chug chug left, and Odom was paddling again today. After two fouls in the first quarter, he didn't show much, but he kept silent. He scored 7 points and 7 rebounds in the resounding half, so his teammates didn't know how to evaluate him.

The Heat started off like a tiger, and their scoring efficiency dropped after hitting the mark. They only scored 45 points in the half.

The Heat played halftime, and under the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, they were no longer in the mood to struggle.

The other party is too positive! A feeling that winning this game and getting 50 wins is inevitable, which made the Heat, who had planned to take advantage of the Hawks' back-to-back lack of physical fitness, about to lose the courage to fight.

...

In the third quarter, Liu Mang, who scored 9 points and 6 assists in the first half, turned on the scoring mode. After playing the whole first half, he had figured out the Heat's defense in this game. Together, Zell caught Boozer's pick-and-roll and started a soaring point show.

With 23 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, Liu Mang helped the Eagles score 33 points in a single quarter. Although the Heat scored a good 25 points in a single quarter, the point difference has been opened to 20 points by the Eagles!

The Eagles, who did not slack off at all, once again crushed their opponents in the third quarter.

After the start of the last quarter, the Heat still wanted to struggle, but the Eagles immediately replaced Liu Mang and Boozer. Liu Mang came up and began to collect data happily. After playing for 5 minutes, he got 4 points and 2 assists. The Eagles kept the point difference above 20 points.

The Heat saw that there was no hope of a comeback. There were only 7 minutes left, the score was 20 minutes away, and the opponent showed no signs of letting go. Van Gundy could only announce his surrender.

In the end, relying on Liu Mang's 36 points, 10 assists and 4 rebounds, the Eagles defeated the Heat 109-90 and won nine consecutive victories!

By defeating the Heat in this game, the Eagles' wins this season have increased to 50 wins!

With 50 wins and 8 losses, the Eagles are the fastest team to win 50 wins since the new century! Ranked in the entire NBA history, it can also be ranked second, second only to the Bulls with 50 wins and 6 losses, tying the Celtics' 50 wins and 8 losses in the 1972-1973 season. Record!

...

...

Liu Mang easily won the game against the Heat. Liu Mang, who got a 35+ double-double performance, was very satisfied. He had statistics and won the victory. It's a pity that Wade just won't admit defeat, no matter how hard he abuses him, he won't admit defeat. It makes Liu Mang a little bit regretful, it seems that it will take a few more years of abuse, and the fifth talent skill seems to have a long way to go.

In the post-match interview, someone asked if Wade, who only scored 12 points and 4 assists under the defense of the Eagles, was as good as Liu Mang said?

Liu Mang replied without hesitation: "Of course, in my opinion, Dwyane is the leader of the Heat, it's just that other people failed to help him."

Wade, who hadn't left the field yet, heard Liu Mang's words and almost jumped up: Boss, let's not do this! The little brother still wants to make a living in the Heat!
