Chapter 700 699. The Top Five in the West Strike!
Every time he looked at the team's roster, Liu Mang felt that the world was full of malice towards him!
Even though I am the youngest in the team, I have to bear the beauty and talent that this age should not have... No, it is responsibility and responsibility.
However, this feeling of leading the team fascinates him, and he has become the soul of the team without knowing it. Liu Wei thinks this feeling is still great.
After losing to the Pacers and ending their 15-game winning streak, the Hawks players and coaching staff became a little restless.
On the morning of the second day after playing the Pacers, the coaching staff called all the players together, held a team meeting all morning, studied the specific arrangement of the rotation, and finally started the real rotation strategy. .
On March 14th, the Eagles continued to play consecutive home games and ushered in the last match against the Bulls this season.
Liu Mang will definitely not take rotations. Whether it is for the MVP, or for the scoring champion, and to ensure the team's strength has a bottom line, Liu Mang, the most physically fit player on the team, will not take rotations.
The Bulls are still doing poorly this year, Hinrich is very good, so that the Bulls finally have a core combination around the team, Hinrich plus Eddie - Curry, Tyson - Chandler's trio , let the Bulls feel full of hope, so they sent away the amazing Jaylen Rose who averaged 20+5+5 per game. Now there is no such requirement that they must be so bad. My own draft pick and the Raptors' draft pick, and have a clear draft goal, so try my best to win while playing poorly.
It's just that after Jaylen Rose and Donyell Marshall were traded away, they really couldn't win the game.
For this game, the Hawks sent Liu Mang, Korver, Prince, Boozer, and Ratliff.
The lineup sent by the Bulls is Hinrich, the rookie year who won a championship with the Lakers in 2002, the undrafted Tinaro Pargo, the return to the place where the dream started, signed the contract and prepared to retire at the end of the season Pippen, Inside twin towers Tyson Chandler and Eddie Curry.
The lineup of the Bulls is really hard work under the leadership of coach Scott Skiles.
But fighting does not mean that there is fighting power.
Liu Mang started the end-of-season hurricane mode. Raheem and Rasheed Wallace did not play. Liu Mang took on a heavier task, so he went all out for personal offense and single defense, and Boozer's pick-and-roll offense , There are more options for personal offense.
Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler, the two of them are too crowded under the basket, as long as Liu Mang rushes in and the two of them crowded together to defend, it will be a foul in all likelihood, Tyson Chandler He is not the best defensive player in the future, but his defense is so rough now that he can fly in a flash, the performance of a man with standard physical fitness.
Hinrich's single defense against outside shots is still very good, and as the season progresses, he has become more and more adapted to the NBA. His defense against Liu Mang is very good, but the Bulls' defense against pick-and-rolls is not good. Whether it is Eddie Curry When Chandler came out, the pick-and-roll against Liu Mang was not effective, and he repeatedly sent Liu Mang to the free throw line.
The defense of the Bulls is all single defense, which is a common phenomenon of bad teams. The defense has almost no cooperation, and they all defend themselves.
As for the Bulls' offense, except for Hinrich's through pass that can occasionally provide assists to teammates who run out of position, the others are basically singles. Singles, Hinrich occasionally singles and iron.
The Eagles easily took the lead and kept it until the end.
In the end, the Eagles beat the Bulls 105 to 92. Liu Mang made 7 of 17 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 14 of 17 free throws, 32 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, helping the team avoid a losing streak.
...
After defeating the Bulls, the Eagles ushered in a game against the Trail Blazers after a day of rest.
In this game, Rasheed Wallace is back.
Playing with his old club, Rasheed Wallace naturally wants to let his old club see how well he is doing.
The Blazers are indeed pretty good this year. The lineup of Damon Stoudemire, Derek Anderson, Antoine Walker, Zach Randolph and Dale Davis is really good. After Wan Walker, in the middle of the season, the Blazers sent away Bunche Wells, who had been clamoring for a bigger contract, and now he is playing really well, ranking ninth and tenth in the Western Conference. Together, they are expected to hit 40 wins and compete for the lottery championship.
In this game, Antoine Walker and Zach Randolph both clamored to make Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace look good.
But the Eagles chose to ignore it. The lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Barnes, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown was a violent defense.
If it is said that when Raheem and Ratliff are here, the defense is in the form of a meat grinder, and Barnes and Kwame Brown go up, it is the body.
Randolph has always been known for his strong body to clear the way. The short and stout little fat man always slams his body to the basket to score with flexible steps and soft touch.
However, he met Kwame Brown, who just got a beep. Kwame Brown's accurate block shot prediction gave Randolph three big blocks in the first quarter, forcing Randolph to take mid-range shots. .
As one of the few players in the league averaging 20+10 per game, Randolph's efficiency is outrageous. He is the least efficient player among all players in the league averaging 20+ points per game or rebounding in double figures, with an efficiency value of only 17. That is to say, the efficiency value is a little higher than the average 15. Other players who averaged 20+ per game or players with double figures in rebounds this season all have an efficiency value of over 20.
The Eagles' defensive intentions are very clear, blocking other people's shot space, forcing Randolph to single Kwame Brown. Dorff's own offensive efficiency is not high, mid-range shots can hit one of three shots under Kwame Brown's defense.
The Blazers can only count on Randolph's singles. Antoine Walker, who doesn't like physical contact, meets Barnes as if he has a cleanliness. When it comes to Liu Mang, you will be deflated, Derek Anderson will also be deflated when you meet Prince, Dale Davis... Rasheed Wallace can help Kwame Brown defend Zach Lando while defending him. Husband forced to go to CIC.
The Eagles did a good job on the defensive end, and the offensive end is also very stable. Liu Mang either shot or passed, and played quite freely against the Blazers who were almost only offensive. He played 39 minutes, 9 of 15 shots, and 5 three-pointers. Made 2, made 5 of 7 free throws, scored 25 points and 13 assists.
Mainly Rasheed Wallace was active today! On the defensive end, he defended against pincers everywhere, and on the offensive end, he actively cut down the air to catch the loopholes in the Blazers' defense. He was also decisive in catching and shooting three-pointers. While adding a lot of assists to Liu Mang, he also scored 30 points. The game-high score of 10 points plus 15 rebounds, the performance is quite good.
In the end, relying on Rasheed Wallace's 30 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals and 2 assists, plus Liu Mang's 25 points, 13 assists, 3 rebounds and 4 steals, he did a good job on both offense and defense, helping the Eagles The team swept the Trail Blazers 112 to 87 in the regular season and won two consecutive victories.
...
...
March 15, the Hawks' rest day.
The game against the Blazers was played at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The game started early and ended early, and it was early for Liu Mang to go home to rest, so he got up early this morning and had two sets of training. Man conducted a personal simulated running training without the ball, and at five o'clock, he conducted a series of shooting drills.
Maybe it was because the weather started to get hot and humid. At six o'clock, a cute little loli came out to help Liu Mang pick up the ball.
After practicing at seven o'clock, Liu Mang's physical energy was almost exhausted, so he took a shot of physical energy potion and the training was over.
"Dinah is the best! Then get up early to help uncle train!" After the training, Liu Mang ignored the sweat and dust on his body, hugged the cute little loli and craved tofu.
"Ah... uncle is too much! Then Dinah struggled to escape.
"Dinah is too much! You actually despise me, your uncle!"
"Uncle, go take a shower! It's too dirty! Dinah is going to take a bath too! It's all my uncle's fault. Dinah didn't sweat at first, but now it's all uncle's stinky sweat!"
Looking at the little loli who is not allowed to eat tofu and is almost 1.4 meters tall, Liu Mang feels that the chances of eating tofu will be less and less in the future, time flies like an arrow...
After tidying up the ball on the ground and putting it back into the hoop, carrying it back to the warehouse for storage, Liu Mang went back to his room to take a shower and prepare breakfast for the three girls at home.
After taking a shower, little Loli came to the kitchen to help Liu Mang.
"Dinna, don't you want to sleep anymore?" Liu Mang asked Dinah who came to help him.
"Dinah also needs to learn how to make breakfast! When Dinah learns it later, Dinah will be able to cook breakfast for uncle!" Little Lolita's eyes shone with hope.
"..." Liu Mang thought of Levia's magical ability to cook, and felt that something terrible was about to happen, so he said immediately: "Dinah, it's not necessary, the beautiful little girl should sleep late, uncle can do it , go to sleep for a while!"
"No! Dinah wants to learn!"
"..."
Liu Mang couldn't hold back, so he let little Lolita follow suit.
So...the breakfast making process started in the kitchen...
...
At eight o'clock, Levia and Alexia came down to have breakfast. They looked at the embarrassed Liu Mang, the satisfied little Lolita, and the kitchen that was emitting black smoke for some reason. , and most of the "unidentified" dark food on the table except for the vegetable salad, I probably understand something.
"Ace, what is this?" Levia swallowed, not greedy, but puzzled, this pile of things is their breakfast?
"This is the love breakfast that Dinah made for you, you eat it, and I'll take a shower." Liu Mang looked at the pile of food and immediately fled.
Levia and Alexia looked at the expectant Dinah and wanted to escape, but it was too late!
Looking at the back of Liu Mang's escape, Levia and Alexia said that they would never enter their room tonight!
...
...
After returning to the room, Liu Mang took a shower again, his whole body was full of oily smoke, cooking breakfast would make his whole body full of oily smoke, Liu Mang felt that Dinah was also a talent, and had completely inherited her mother's beauty and cooking skills.
After taking a shower, Liu Mang felt that making breakfast this time was more tiring than training for three hours in the morning!
Soaking in the bathtub, Liu Mang flipped through the team manual.
This team manual is a scouting report based on the Eagles' rest schedule and schedule and the rest of the game after the rest plan is thoroughly determined.
By this time, the strength of each team in the league has already been thoroughly studied. Except for the short-term performance scouting report, which is sent to the players during pre-match preparation, the regular scouting report is enough.
15 games left! All in all, the remaining time of the regular season is exactly one month, which is 31 days.
There are still five games left in this month. The Bulls and Trail Blazers played in the previous three days are just the appetizers before the big battle. Immediately, the most difficult schedule is coming. The Kings will be played first, and then the Mavericks will be played again!
The Kings had a miserable time when Webber first came back. They were left behind by the top three teams in the Western Conference. Now they can only compete with the Mavericks and Rockets for the fourth place in the Western Conference. The situation was not particularly optimistic.
However, after playing more than a dozen games, Webb reintegrated into the team. Although the strength of the Kings has dropped a lot compared to two years ago or even last season, they are still the top teams in the league, but there is no The strength of the OK combination that could kill the tail of the peak two years ago is enough, but it still cannot be underestimated.
Recently, the Kings have won three consecutive victories, and their record has improved to 45 wins and 22 losses. They have stabilized the fourth position in the Western Conference. Now that the Kings have that whole-team-passing feel to them again, it's hard to defend.
The next game against the Kings will be very difficult, especially the current rotation plan of the Eagles, which will not change because of the strength of the opponent. Coach Kruger's goal is to beat the weak team and win with all his strength. The winning strategy is to guarantee a minimum of 68 wins, and will not break the rotation strategy in order to beat a strong team.
Therefore, Liu Mang felt the most stressful part of the schedule so far this season. As the only player who does not need to rest, Liu Mang's pressure is undoubtedly the greatest in the Eagles.
This is the team's trust in him, so Liu Mang has to work harder.
Regarding this, Liu Mang once got together to talk about the playoff plan with coach Kruger and his boss Price and asked if there was any overtime pay.
Looking at the lineup that can play in tomorrow's game, Prince and Rasheed Wallace take turns to rest. It is really a troublesome situation. The opponent's five players have scoring ability... Let's take a step and see!
Liu Mang studied the scouting report and his own lineup. He found that the lineup was uneven and the opponent was strong. He really couldn't find any particularly good countermeasures, so he simply didn't read it.
Opening the system panel, the first thing Liu Mang looked at was the superstar value and the rogue value.
After the last few games, the superstar value has risen to 44117 points, more than 2,000 points per game, which is not bad. When it comes to the playoffs, Liu Mang estimates that he will have 70,000 points. With some rewards, it is estimated that 100,000 points Yes, the auxiliary support for the playoffs is steadily accumulating.
There are still some stamina medicines, don't rush to replenish them, anyway, the data and victory of each game are relatively guaranteed now, there is no shortage of this aspect.
The value of hooligans is more than 69.12 million points, which is still 30 million. When the MVP, scoring champion, and the first record in the new century are won, Liu Mang thinks that he can go crazy. In the final, Liu Mang felt almost stable!
Then Liu Mang switched to the main panel and looked at the statistics of personal ability evaluation.
The ability rating is 86, and the three-pointer has reached 88 with the season. With his own training, he has reached the highest three-pointer attribute under the bonus of the bench gangsters. The next step is to break through this attribute. Liu Mang's goal is Xia Tian Have a chance to break through 90 and become the strongest three-point shooter in the league. The only three-point ability evaluation among active players breaks through 90. Only Ray Allen, Peja 89, Reggie Miller 87, and Liu Mang are already ranked third up.
The NO-handcheck era is about to usher in, and the importance of three-pointers will be much higher than it is now. At this stage, three-pointers with a three-point evaluation above 80 are already top three-pointers, and those with a three-point evaluation above 85 However, there are only a few people who are already top three-pointers, but they have only used the 15-16 version of the Splash Brothers with Liu Mang. Rand's three-point ability is Liu Mang's ultimate goal.
The strength of other mid-range shots and layups is also steadily improving. Training is to polish the foundation. The official game is an opportunity to turn the well-polished ability into a real game ability. As the season is coming to an end, Liu Mang's last summer The strength of hard training has also been fully integrated into the game.
After looking at the mission and the star card, Liu Mang saw that Iverson's peak star card, the random star card of the strongest point guard of each era, and a possible star card for Kobe this season For the task, Liu Mang can't wait to think about the last fight against the little blacksmith at the end of the month!
After sorting out the goals for the next season, looking at the tasks and personal attributes, Liu Mang's heart sank.
The season is coming to an end, and the last month is the playoffs. From now on, we must treat the next games with the mentality of the playoffs as much as possible!
Get ready for the playoffs!
...
After taking a shower, Liu Mang sneaked a peek outside the restaurant. Dinah and Alexia had already gone to school, and Levia was quite busy recently. When the real estate speculators arrived at this time, they started flipping real estate again. Business.
Liu Mang was relieved to see that he didn't have to eat the pile of food that he didn't know would die if he ate it. He drove to the arena, bought a hamburger outside the arena, ate it, and continued to train.
When Liu Mang arrived at the arena, several teammates were already training.
Liu Mang originally didn't plan to come to the arena to train today. For such a close match the next day, the team's training is quite small, and the reserve of physical fitness is important. Only players who have a game that day but have to take turns, such as Prince and Rashid tomorrow. -Wallace will not play, they will have extra shooting training and strength training tomorrow, and everyone else can rest except for the tactical training on the day of the game. Of course, the team will not stop them from training. Under the condition that the teacher has made a good physical fitness estimate, train in the plan.
Not all teammates are like Liu Mang. They have a court at home and need to practice more. Most of them come to the arena. Liu Mang came to the arena to warm up and then entered the training ground. Keton, Ostertag, Barnes, Calderon and six others are training.
It is mainly Ostertag and Stockton who guide Boozer and Korver's running positions. Boozer is indeed a natural pick-and-roll player, and the training is very smooth. Korver's talent is much worse, except for shooting. The hand feel and others are very poor, otherwise there will be no late bloomers, but he worked hard, and he was not discouraged when Stockton felt stupid and scolded him bloody, but worked harder to practice running positions.
On the contrary, Calderon satisfied Stockton. When there was no confrontation, Calderon was really outstanding, but he was too thin, and it was a bit difficult to take on heavy responsibilities in the short term.
The content of Barnes' training is that the trainer throws the ball to the basket and hits the iron. Barnes goes to rush for rebounds with blocking posts, and open three-point shots. The offensive end is just these two, and then there is Gaining weight, the scene of him being crushed by Artest to the basket and dunked is vivid.
Apart from the fact that Calderon has not really played at the level of the NBA, Liu Mang couldn't help but think of the lineup composed of five players last season, Stockton, Harprin, Kirilenko, Malone, Oster Tag's lineup, if this lineup is put on the court, Korver is still a bit inferior now, and if Korver is replaced by himself, isn't it the Eagles version of the Utah Jazz.
"Ace, you're here too, aren't you resting at home today?" Stockton smiled when he saw Liu Mang coming.
Hearing Stockton's question, Liu Mang showed bitterness: "Today, Dinah made breakfast for the first time. John, when your daughter made breakfast for you for the first time, did you eat it?"
When Stockton heard this, he recalled the unforgettable scene of his eldest daughter cooking for the first time, and couldn't help laughing: "Ace, it's really hard for you, but you are very happy! "
"Yes, I was very happy when I came to help, but when I saw the kitchen was almost lit, I started to regret it!" Liu Mang smiled wryly.
"Haha, the child will grow up one day." Stockton smiled, smiling, with a sad smile on his face, "My eldest daughter doesn't want to go home now, the child has grown up."
Little loli is growing up!
Liu Mang felt strangely uncomfortable in his heart. The little loli would be more attractive when she grows up, but she will get married when she grows up!
At this moment, Liu Mang has the same mood as Stockton, turning grief and anger into motivation! Liu Mang began to continue training!
With 15 games left, it is not easy to win at least 12!

Ask for a monthly ticket, the last three days! If you can’t catch up with the first one, stay second. I’m so afraid that the third god will be overtaken if he asks for a ticket. They are more than 6,000 people...
