Chapter 699

"Ace, don't you want to go out and eat the New Orleans grilled wings you want? Last time, Captain Jack, the driver, opened a grilled wings shop just for you!"

The Eagles, which continued to be in hot form, came to the last stop of the three-game streak with high morale. New Orleans played the Hornets.

New Orleans is very close to Atlanta, so it basically feels like returning to the warm south coast. The humidity is gradually passing, and there is already a very comfortable sea breeze in March.

The Eagles stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans, which might disappear in a few years. From last night, when Liu Mang missed a triple-double by two points, he has always looked aggrieved.

Helpless teammates can only coax this little boss like a child.

Sometimes a word from a celebrity can change a person's life. Last time when Liu Mang and others came to play in New Orleans, they mentioned a sentence of New Orleans grilled wings, and the uncle driver remembered it in his heart. Registered a trademark for New Orleans Grilled Wings and found out no one did! Even those who sell fast food didn’t register, and then they were pre-registered by the driver uncle, and opened a New Orleans grilled wing restaurant, which mainly sells grilled wings and sells other miscellaneous things.

A few teammates punched and decided that Boozer would pull Liu Mang out for a walk to relax.

"No, you guys go, I want to be quiet!" Liu Mang said melancholy.

"..." Boozer saw that Liu Mang seemed really moody, so he could only give up: "Okay, Ace, you have a good rest."

Just as Boozer was about to leave, he heard a voice: "Wait!"

"What's wrong? Ace?" Boozer asked curiously.

"Carlos, why don't you ask me who Jing Jing is?" Liu Mang asked resentfully.

"Quiet? Is it a woman??" Boozer looked confused.

"..." Only then did Liu Mang remember how these ignorant Americans knew these things, so he could only shake his head and say, "It's okay."

Inexplicably, Boozer asked again: "Ace, go eat grilled wings, do you want to go?"

Liu Mang's sorrowful heart recovered a bit, and suddenly thought of something, his face blushed, and he asked, "Who is treating you?"

"..." Boozer replied speechlessly, "I invite you!"

"Let's go!" Liu Mang was shocked, as if nothing had happened: "I said why there is no roasted wings in New Orleans, but you didn't find them. No, you found them this time."

"..."

...

A difference of 70 points!

The Eagles set a new record for the largest point difference in NBA history by breaking the 68-point difference that the Cavaliers slaughtered the Heat!

Whether it is the madness of 12 consecutive victories or the madness of 70 points difference, the Eagles' limelight is the same for a while!

The fans and the media have a question, how much hatred does Liu Mang have with the Knicks? How much do the Hawks hate the Knicks? Every time I come to Madison Square Garden, I do something big.

The hope of the playoffs that Knicks fans are looking forward to, although it is still not difficult to make it to the playoffs, but that hope is gone!

Because of this, Liu Mang once again gained a lot of attention, and his rogue value went up.

However, regarding Liu Mang's news, he felt that it would be better if there was no news!

Just after leading his teammates to play a terrifying defense and offense, and abused the 70-point difference, Liu Mang liked to mention the nickname "One Middle Man"...

Seeing that he got the nickname of No. 1 boy on the Internet, Liu Mang's heart was bleeding!

20 assists too!

Why can't your eyes look at other data! This is a new assist record for Madison Square Garden!

20 assists in a single game can also be ranked among the top 100 in the NBA... Well, Liu Mang also knows that 20 assists in a single game is not as bright as 1 of 17. After all, 20 assists in a single game Although rare, 1 in 17 is even rarer.

but! Liu Mang also has no choice! The Knicks can't bite the rest of the Eagles, so they can only catch Liu Mang to defend to death. The bigger the point difference, the more desperate. Marbury, a guy who is serious about defense and a guy who has become the No. 6 pick purely because of his physical fitness , He was guarded so badly, if he hadn't gotten 20 assists and set a new personal assist record, he would have cried.

and!

Why is the focus of these guys different from that of New Yorkers?

People in New York have already turned their backs. From the time he was killed and refused to ask him to play with the Knicks, now the fan forums in New York are full of messages asking the Knicks owner Xia Tian to steal people from the Eagles. They don’t care about anything at all. Salary space, in short, is to grab people.

Fans in the entire NBA except for New York fans, especially Atlanta fans, are talking about 1 in 17. What's more, I don't know when Liu Mang's "hooligan" The official forum of the "League" fan group has also become a gathering place for "black fans".

Still not a fan!

Do you want to go too far!

Liu Mang felt very hurt.

But what can be done?

The game has to go on.

However, the media in New York is really interesting. They really didn't give the Knicks any face and gave Liu Mang the nickname "King Madison".

The scoring record, assist record, and even the most interesting record of the lowest shooting percentage except that the role player may shoot 0, was also refreshed by Liu Mang, officially "crowned" as the king of Madison.

But this made Liu Mang feel even more ashamed!

Seeing that the team had 11 players on the field, the other ten scored in double figures, and he was the only one with 8 points. Liu Mang felt unreasonable!

Therefore, to turn grief and anger into appetite, roasted wings are not expensive, two dollars for a big roasted wing, a group of people are full and drink freshly squeezed juice, it only costs more than one hundred dollars.

There are consecutive away games, and there are no night activities, especially since it is only 40 days before the playoffs are full, and the curfew rules of the coaching staff are becoming stricter.

...

...

After a night's rest, the next morning, Liu Mang, who had not dissipated his grief and anger, came to the New Orleans Arena with a look of anger on his face, leading the team to challenge the Hornets away.

Originally, in the dozen or so games Mashburn played, the Hornets' performance was not much different from that of the Pistons, at the level of the top three in the Eastern Conference, but Mashburn, an All-Star player, ended his career and the Hornets directly Fall into the ranks of the ordinary playoffs.

There was not much resistance, because Liu Mang seemed to be crazy again today. At the same time two days ago, as the opponent of the next game, the Hornets just did not have a game that day. For the game, the Knicks have their own TV station. The most fantastic thing about playing in the Knicks is that almost all home games are broadcast live.

The Hornets players saw that Liu Mang was unable to score because of being defended by the Knicks, and led the team to defend and counterattack frantically, making the biggest point difference in history. Seeing Liu Mang being so active and crazy, they decisively avoided his edge.

Playing 33 minutes, scoring 30 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 10 of 21 shots, Liu Mang was a little out of his anger as a "one middle man".

The Eagles were not so unkind in this game. The Hornets officially became a Western Conference team after this season. They changed from the Southeast Division to the team in the Southwest Division next door, saving some face.

98 to 90, the Hawks were eventually chased by the Hornets to within 10 points. The Hornets' role player, backup power forward David West, hit a mid-range shot with two seconds left to close the point difference. Chase within ten.

Judging from the results of this game, the Hornets did not lose so badly, as if it was a fierce and anxious game.

This is not bad for the Eagles. The opponent did not resist too fiercely, and they would not struggle when they saw the loss, so as to avoid being turned into another Knicks by the Eagles who are in the limelight.

...

With 13 consecutive victories in hand, the Eagles ended their last consecutive away game in March.

The Eagles' record has become 54 wins and 8 losses. There are still 12 games in this month, 11 home games and one away game. The schedule is quite easy.

After beating the Hornets, the Eagles returned to Atlanta and started a mighty seven-game winning streak.

The relaxed and freehand race has begun.

After returning to Atlanta for a night of rest, the second and final back-to-back of the month came.

The back-to-back games between the Pistons and the Jazz are ushered in consecutively at home.

The first thing that ushered in was the game against the Pistons.

Not long ago, after the Eagles went to an away game to kill the Pistons, the morale of the Pistons had collapsed. When they came to Atlanta, the Eagles were in the limelight and in good condition, and the Pistons could hardly stop the Eagles.

The two teams played a defensive battle in this game. The Eagles played with all their main players. In the end, they defeated the Pistons 92 to 83 and swept the Pistons in the regular season this season.

Liu Mang scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists against the Pistons. Liu Mang was severely targeted, and the number of assists went up again. In fact, there were quite a lot of assists. He shot 23 times for 22 points...

After defeating the Pistons to win 14 consecutive victories, the Eagles ushered in a game against the Jazz the next day.

The Jazz came to Atlanta as a tourist. The Jazz didn't want to win, and the Eagles didn't want to lose. It's a perfect situation for the two teams.

103 to 79, it's not that the Eagles don't give face, but the Jazz just want to lose, they want better draft picks, and they have more bargaining chips when negotiating with the Eagles, and Ostertag gave them to the Eagles Yes, they also posted a second round in 2005. In terms of favor, they now have the initiative.

Liu Mang finally scored more than 40 points again, 40+ for the 17th time in his career. He scored 44 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 17 of 27 shots from the field.

...

After defeating the Jazz, the easy schedule is over. In the remaining 10 games, there are six top eight teams in the league.

Unlike the Pistons, which have been swept in the playoffs for two consecutive years and have a stronger lineup and a more suitable head coach this year, they are still bloodbathed and lost their fighting spirit. The remaining six teams , will not be so easy to deal with.

After back-to-back games, the Eagles took a day off and ushered in a game against the Pacers at home.

The record of the Eagles has improved to 56 wins and 8 losses, and the Pacers are not bad. They are the second 50-win team in the league. Now they have a record of 50 wins and 15 losses, ranking second in the league. Under the circumstances that the season has been excellent, it is almost certain that they will not be able to run after 60 wins!

A team that can win 60 wins is one of the best teams in the league at any given time.

Coach Carlisle doesn't want to lose to the Eagles again!

The Pacers lost the first two matches against the Eagles this season. One was at the beginning of the season.

The second time was coach Carlisle himself. Young coaches always have weird ideas. They may not play normally. The difference in strength between the two teams is not as huge as it seems, but there is no way to do it yourself.

Now the Pacers still have two chances to play against the Eagles. Coach Carlisle has been preparing for a long time, and he wants to win the next two games! At any rate, they tied with the Eagles 2-2 in the regular season. Don't let the Eagles be afraid when they may encounter the Eagles in the playoffs.

The Pistons are a good example. Coach Carlisle has been the head coach of the Pistons for the past two years. The crushed scene.

...

On the Eagles side, it seems that they are not so nervous.

56 wins and 8 losses, this record is too exaggerated!

The Eagles themselves did not expect that they would win 15 consecutive victories by playing on their side!

Including Liu Wei, after easily defeating the Pistons again, and killing the Jazz back to back to get 15 consecutive victories, they also feel that all opponents are vulnerable!

In addition, this is a home game, and there is a devil's home game, so Liu Mang doesn't feel any pressure on the seventh consecutive leader.

On March 12, the Eagles, who had a rest for one night, ushered in their third consecutive home game against the visiting Pacers.

The Eagles won both games against the Pacers before this season, which made the Eagles despise the Pacers even more.

In addition, the Eagles' physical fitness is also a problem now, and they are still recovering from the rotation. After all the main players of the Pacers have been dispatched, they despise the opponent even more.

It's not that the Eagles let the water go or play insincerely, but the mentality can't help but belittle. An ordinary opponent like the Jazz.

But this opponent is not ordinary at all!

The Pacers are playing better and better this season. They are very stable and have maintained a winning rate of about 75%. It has not been too high or too low. System, mature and fit!

The Eagles saw the Pacers as just an ordinary team, but the Pacers played against the Eagles with a fighting attitude. The two teams seemed to be on different channels, and the result was that the Eagles were led by the Pacers from the very beginning. .

Artest arrived at the end of the season, as if, as he said, he should win the MVP. Before the All-Star Weekend, Artest averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. , Artest averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, while maintaining the best defense among outside players in the league, and even played a role comparable to the inside defensive pillar in the team.

At the beginning of the game, Artest went into a frenzy, attacking his strong body to kill in the paint continuously.

Raheem was caught off guard at the beginning, and even Ratliff on the inside was implicated by this. The game only played for more than three minutes, and Ratliff made two fouls and was replaced.

The Eagles suffered a huge loss just before the game started, and Ratliff was replaced by Kwame Brown... Kwame Brown is also good, he has been studying with his teacher Ratliff for almost a season, and he can do everything He looks good, even because his physical fitness is beyond Ratliff's, and he is many times better than Ratliff in terms of viewing.

But Kwame Brown and Ratliff, who is at his peak now, are more effective on the field. There is no doubt that Kwame Brown and Ratliff have a qualitative gap. Kwame Brown's defensive talent may not be worse than Ratliff. , but the experience is too far off.

Al Harrington and Jermaine O'Neal took turns in singles, making Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown exhausted. Rasheed Wallace defended well, but to play the strongest power, he had to With Ratliff on the court, the combination of the two is the best inside defensive combination in the league. The combination of Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace is always a little bit interesting.

The miss inside has become the key to the Eagles falling behind in the start.

On Liu Mang's side, Artest encountered a strong resistance!

The Pacers are obviously fully prepared for this game, and they don't play tricks. They go all out and fight the Eagles.

The core defensive combination of Artest and O'Neal, plus Jamal Tinsley, played a super defensive dominance, suppressing the Eagles from the beginning of the game.

At the end of the half, Liu Mang was defended only 4 of 14, scored 10 points and 2 assists, the passing route was also restricted, the singles were restricted, and the team's rebounds were not satisfactory. The team is more prepared than the Eagles!

After halftime, the Eagles were 9 points behind 39 to 48! Being 9 points behind is not such a terrible thing. The Eagles also had a reversal performance, but only scored 39 points in the half! This is a bit beyond expectations!

Liu Mang just woke up at this time, even if there is home court advantage and the devil's home court, it is not a panacea!

The devil's home game can only make the situation of playing well better, but if you don't play well, the devil's home game is useless!

However, the Pacers, who played an advantage in the adversity of the Eagles' devils' home court, became even more morale because of the atmosphere of the Eagles' home court!

In the second half, the Eagles wanted to regain their spirits and kill the Pacers, but found that the opponent did not have the kind of opponent that could be easily defeated by "strength" as imagined, and the opponent was a real strong team! A strong team with a chance to win 60!

In this game, Liu Mang played the worst performance of the season in the true sense. He played 44 minutes, made 15 of 35 shots, scored 31 points and 7 rebounds, but only had 4 assists.

In the end, the Eagles lost 83 to 94 at home to the Pacers!

The score doesn't look big, but judging from the situation, the Eagles have never had an advantage from the beginning to the end. The initiative has always been on the Pacers' side. Very rare!

The Eagles suffered their ninth loss of the season, and their record became 56 wins and 9 losses!

...

The Eagles finally lost the game. In Liu Mang's view, this may be a pity. At first, Liu Mang still had a little extravagant hope, to see if he had a chance to have a better record than the Bulls? But even if the winning streak is ended, it might not be a bad thing.

Recently, they have been too obsessed with the winning streak. The team originally wanted to take turns to recover their physical fitness, but because of the winning streak, they always played with all the main players when they encountered strong teams. Not only did Liu Mang hold that extravagant hope, Although his teammates and even the coaching staff didn't say anything, deep down in their hearts, they all had that irrational desire.

Therefore, when meeting a strong team, even if it is Liu Mang, he is happy to see his teammates play with all their strength and get a better record.

But now lost, 9 games have been lost, looking at the "haters" behind, the Lakers, Spurs, Kings, Timberwolves, Mavericks, there are nine games left this month, and five of them are against these teams... …

If he had been on a winning streak, Liu Mang would still have that irrational obsession, but when the winning streak was ended, Liu Mang calmed down.

After the game, the Eagles locker room was very silent. This is the first time this season that the Eagles have had such a normal game suppressed.

After Liu Mang figured out these things, seeing that no one came out to speak, he knew that it was time to take on the responsibility of the boss! He began to encourage his teammates, but Liu Mang was very dissatisfied with being the boss without protection fees...

It's the last three days at the end of the month. Friends who still have monthly tickets can vote for it. Those who haven't voted can vote for it, and no single chapter will be issued. Thank you everyone.
