Chapter 705: 704. The Spurs Strike

James sat calmly on the sidelines this time.

got used to……

James played for more than ten minutes, was replaced by Paul Silas before the first half was over, and never played again in the second half.

It's too awful!

Paul Silas, the head coach, can't stand it anymore. Let James, who is still a rookie, pay his tuition to try to compete with a top star like Raheem who is still famous. It is really good when James' mental quality is still strong. The choice, however, is too miserable!

This is the third time James has played against Liu Mang, and he already has a thorough understanding of Liu Mang.

The Cavaliers have played against the Eagles four times this season. Except for the second James "injury" truce, it was actually a twisted finger. The head coach Paul Silas was afraid that he would be abused like the first game, so he doubted his life and made him truce One game, by the time the two teams played against each other for the third time, James had already progressed to the level of a top player in the league. Seeing how fast James was improving, coach Paul Silas and the Cavaliers management finally felt relieved that the No. 1 pick was talented. This time the two teams played against each other for the fourth time, the Eagles put on an angry posture, if they were abused, they would be abused, and they had the right to pay the tuition.

So, James met Liu Mang, who had just lost the game, and Raheem who had come back, and once again hit the street...

Liu Mang and Raheem didn't even think about how many points to win in this game, just win. They double-teamed James from the very beginning.

Raheem relied on his strong body to block James' strength, while Liu Mang relied on his speed, agility and defensive anticipation, either double-teaming and stealing, or waiting for James to use his speed to break through under Raheem's defense. Going inside to block shots, Liu Mang's steals and blocks in this game are soaring! After playing against James twice, Liu Mang is very familiar with the characteristics of James' current style of play, and James is not only good at handling the ball, but also uses his body very well, and his other skills are very good, without much change. The technology can't keep up. Liu Mang got 4 steals and 3 blocks in the first half, almost all of which were obtained by James. With the help of Raheem, Liu Mang once again made James feel the deep malice of the world.

As for Jeff McGinnis, who Liu Mang was supposed to defend, he made a lot of open shots and made two three-pointers in the half. If he can make a few more shots, James will not be so miserable. Except for James and Big Z, everyone else in the Cavaliers is like that. The strongest is Newbell, the former substitute of the Eagles. With 11 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, and Raheem's 21 points and 9 rebounds in the half, the Eagles led the Cavaliers by 9 points 47 to 38 in the half!

James, who was replaced after playing for 17 minutes, had 1 of 9 shots, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 turnovers in the halftime. Looking at Liu Mang, he hated his teeth and bit his teeth as if he was eating Liu Mang's flesh. of.

But there is no way!

James waited until the game was over and had to find Brother Liu Mang's name, who made him not strong enough now!

The traitor is in power!

The Eagles are now in their prime, Liu Mang also has the best teammates, James can only choose to grow up in a wretched way...

Got fucked three times in a row! James vowed that one day, he must make Liu Mang look good!

Let’s just be a wretched little boy now. James feels his life is miserable in this poor place of Cleveland. Last summer, in such a big space, he didn’t catch a slightly bigger fish...

James didn't play in the second half, and Liu Mang didn't play, because Liu Mang played all the time in the first half, and Stockton and Jason Terry didn't play. In the third quarter, Stockton led Jason -The combination of Terry, Boozer, Barnes, and Kwame Brown. With this lineup, the Cavaliers can't compete without James. After three quarters, the Eagles pulled the score to 73 to 55. The game entered garbage time.

In the end, the Eagles easily defeated the Cavaliers 95 to 79.

The game is over, Rahim, who scored 20 points in the half, went to accept the post-match interview, and Liu Mang went to catch up with Zhan Zhan.

With 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, James still had to smile and greet Liu Mang who came over with such statistics: "Ace, congratulations, you have become the fastest team to win 60 wins in the new century."

This emotional intelligence is really nothing to say!

Not mentioning the game and statistics at all, congratulating on the record, Liu Mang is full of affection for James, much better than the one who can only give birth to daughters.

However, it's not fun to have a little bit of it!

This guy James, at best, has a high EQ, at worst, he is too boring!

Is it too tiring to maintain that "nice man" look all the time?

Liu Mang looked at James and thought about it. James in his memory seemed to have never fought in his entire career! He also seldom quarrels with his opponents, and he is always silent when he quarrels and is provoked.

In terms of self-cultivation, James is not like a billionaire who came out of the slums. This is not only a talent that can be cultivated by the management team in the last year of high school.

But this must be quite tiring!

Maybe James himself enjoyed it, but Liu Mang just felt that James was very tired!

Yes, no matter what James thinks, Liu Mang just thinks that James is too tired.

How can Liu Mang, a senior who is so sympathetic to the junior, let the junior suppress his emotions and be so tired!

Liu Mang is thinking here, looking at James while thinking.

It's been a year since last year, and around this time last year, James met Liu Mang for the first time, and Liu Mang looked at him with strange eyes.

Now a year has passed, James saw Liu Mang's eyes again, and saw Liu Mang sizing him up like that again.

I didn't know what that meant last year, but now, James knows Liu Mang well enough to know that there must be nothing good!

James couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. Rao is very talented and has a social talent beyond his current age, so he really wants to escape!

But I held back.

Finally, Liu Mang put away his scrutinizing eyes, and James heaved a sigh of relief, but then he saw Liu Mang's playful eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped!

James looked at Liu Mang, Liu Mang raised his head and his eyes were full of teasing: "My stupid little brother..."

what to do! James didn't know why Liu Mang called him stupid, but he didn't pay attention to this point, he felt that there must be something more excessive!

Sure enough, Liu Mang continued to speak: "I seem to have won you for the third time, I hate me, my stupid little brother, but you are too weak, if you want to beat me, you have to hate me even more and work harder , just hate me like this, and humble yourself to become stronger! I hope you will be stronger in the next match, but it seems to be next season..."

Every time Liu Mang uttered a word, James felt a needle prick in his heart... It was too much!

As Liu Mang expected, James got angry this time!

However, James is a black man after all, and he is an American, moreover, he is a black man who came out of the slums in the United States. He has raised his self-cultivation to a high enough level, but in his heart he is still a black man who came out of the slums. His thoughts are exactly what Liu Mang expected A big difference.

Liu Mang's focus was on spraying, but the focus of the information James obtained was... little brother...

In James' view, Liu Mang's words are just not so pleasant "incentives". James received help from many people during his growth, otherwise a single mother who gave birth to a child at the age of 15 would not be able to raise him so big. As for her mother's status, most of the people she can get in touch with are uneducated rough people, and when she encourages James, she is full of swear words. Liu Mang's words are considered very "educated" words that James heard when he was growing up. up.

Liu Mang was still waiting for James to get angry with a little secret joy in his heart. The only time he saw James get angry in his memory was when James was murdered by Tyson Chandler, and then several times in a row he rushed into the inside lane. It's pretty good to see Chandler force a layup, but it's really boring to say the least. Liu Mang is waiting to see what it looks like when James loses his temper.

But unexpectedly, James opened his mouth and said first: "Thank you."

"Ace, thank you for your encouragement. I will not be defeated by you so easily next season! One day I will definitely become your strongest opponent! Just wait!" James said, stretching out his fist.

Liu Mang didn't expect James to say such a thing, he stretched out his fist and punched James in astonishment, and then watched James, who was full of fighting spirit, turn around and walk towards the player tunnel, Liu Mang was in a bad mood!

hey...

This is not what the young master wants!

Why did this bald man become more motivated?

...

...

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Eagles' record improved to 60 wins and 10 losses, officially becoming the fastest team to win 60 wins since the new century!

When Liu Mang and his teammates returned to Atlanta, they once again felt the enthusiasm of the Atlanta fans. As the playoffs progressed, the fans became even more crazy!

But Liu Mang and his teammates are not in the mood to celebrate at all, and three tough opponents are coming soon!

Spurs, Celtics, Timberwolves, Needless to say, the Spurs and Timberwolves, the Celtics are not easy to deal with, the Celtics are now ranked ninth in the East, and they are 3 wins behind the Knicks who are eighth in the East , There are still more than ten games, and it is not impossible to hit the playoffs, so the Celtics will definitely do their best in any game.

The lion is fighting the rabbit with all its strength. The Eagles can't do their best against every opponent. The rotation strategy will continue until the end of early April, allowing the players to play for two full months from mid-January to mid-March. physical fitness is restored.

Therefore, these three games are particularly difficult!

Liu Mang looked for scouts and watched the Lakers' 67 wins and 15 losses in the 99-00 season. He knew that his team's current record was not much better than that of the Lakers at the end of the season. When the Lakers got 60 wins that year, they were 60 wins and 12 losses, and the Lakers were not a team that needed to take care of the Chinese New Year and arranged a tight schedule especially in the one or two months after the Chinese New Year. The schedule is extremely easy, and the end of the season is completely a schedule for them to brush up their records. There are not many strong opponents. Just like that, the Lakers lost three of the last ten games.

Now, with 60 wins and 10 losses, it seems that the situation of the Lakers is better than that of the Lakers back then, but it is about to usher in a difficult three consecutive home games, and there will be games against the Pacers and Grizzlies next month , The Grizzlies are also in the process of competing for the fourth place in the Western Conference. They really want the first-round advantage, and they will not be easy to play.

...

"Leviia, try harder, don't stop... oh... Kimo Chicken..." Liu Mang yelled in pain and comfort.

The living room is a very open place.

A man and a woman, so unrestrained and exciting.

"What country do you call Ace, why does it feel weird?" Levia who was giving Liu Mang a massage asked strangely.

"Uh... this is not important, help me pinch another place, there has been no activity for too long..."

"Get out!" Levia pushed Liu Mang away, "This is the living room, what are you thinking about! What if Dinah comes back later! And there will be a game tomorrow!"

"Oh..." Liu Mang felt a little regretful. Don't look at when these two girls take the initiative, but most of the time they focus on the 'big picture'. Although Liu Mang's physical fitness is too good for Levia, I still worry about Liu Mang Mang consumes too much, so he is very restrained in this regard.

After a little kiss, Liu Mang watched as Levia went back to the room upstairs. There was nothing else to do. Little Lolita was still at school. Playing video games by herself was too boring. In the end, Mang could only drag the basket to practice.

The Spurs are about to hit!

Playing the Spurs is always exciting! Especially when Bowen is half-dead now, without the threat of a black foot, and when he is fighting for strength with the Spurs, it will always feel very challenging for competitive players.

Although Bowen was missing, the Spurs experienced great labor pains. After Bowen came back, his state also plummeted. Popovich simply sent him home to recuperate. Habitual dislocation is fatal for a basketball player. Yes, but although Bowen renewed his contract with the Spurs for 5 years in advance last summer, and this year has a total of 6 years, the total of the six years is only 20 million, and the average is only more than 3 million a year. The actual impact is not big. If it can be cured, it will be profitable for the Spurs.

It's just that it is too difficult for Bowen, who will be 33 years old in the summer, to recover from a habitual dislocation.

Because of this incident, Liu Mang won the goodwill of many people, especially Carter of the Nets. He helped Liu Mang not to be afraid of offending Francis in the All-Star Game without hesitation, and the relationship with Liu Mang is so good. This is the reason It must be indispensable. Friendship is always accumulated bit by bit.

After Liu Mang practiced two sets of shots, he took the Spurs scouting report given by the team before leaving the airport and went home, and studied it carefully.

It was discovered that after Bowen was waived, the Spurs had a period of pain, which caused them to fall behind in the process of competing with the Timberwolves and the Lakers for the first place in the Western Conference, but they recovered quickly after only a dozen games.

The main reason lies in Duncan!

It doesn't matter if Bowen is abolished, as long as there is Duncan, everything is not a problem. Malik Rose, a rough guy who plays fiercely and has almost no shooting ability, has become another representative fierce figure of the Spurs.

It’s just that unlike Bowen who injured his opponent twice in three days, Malik Rose got a very high evaluation. The main reason is that there is no harm without comparison. Rose is not a clean player, but compared to Bowen, he is a saint...

Popovich's ability to tap talents in the team has already emerged at this stage, otherwise he would not have continued to maintain such a strong record when adding a middle-class contract to the team as a burden for a year.

Although this has a lot to do with Duncan being able to keep the bottom line of strength, it is not so easy to make good use of the bonus brought by Duncan. Being able to make good use of it is Popovich's ability.

Looking at the winning and losing track of the Spurs' schedule, except for the miserable period of 6 wins and 8 losses, the Spurs did not have a significant change in winning percentage in the previous and subsequent games, and it was steady!

The vegetable abuser in the west is still stable after going through the painful period!

So even if the Spurs played like that once, they still rank third in the Western Conference!

"Duncan..." Thinking of Duncan, Liu Mang really felt his head was big! This guy is too strong! Must engage in this facial paralysis!

Today, try to finish the game against the Spurs as much as possible, and I hope that those who have not finished voting for the monthly ticket will vote! Thank you friends for the hundreds of monthly tickets in the morning, I hope to be the first! By the way, it seems that some friends just said that they want to give a reward, come on! Try to write more today than yesterday's 14,000 words!
