Chapter 805
Kobe had 46 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, but was defeated by Liu Mang's 43 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists and McGrady's 30 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists.
The influence of a superstar on a team is in all aspects, and they may not feel it. Like Tracy McGrady, he himself is trying to integrate into the team through defense, and the team is also working hard to integrate Tracy McGrady into the team's defense. , However, in the process of integration, the influence of superstars is too strong, and McGrady's style of play is also changing the Eagles.
The combination of McGrady's temperament and the Eagles' temperament has brought a new temperament, which is unrestrained yet wretched, wretched and a little unrestrained, turning the Eagles from a defensive iron-blooded team into a more unrestrained team .
The boldness of the Eagles in the past was mainly due to Liu Wei, but now the boldness of the Eagles is that after Tracy McGrady joined the team, the whole team began to be bold... The type of influence brought to the team by an organization core and a scorer is completely different. Let the whole team cooperate for him, and McGrady has sorted out his teammates' style of play, used himself to drive his teammates, and brought his own temperament to his teammates!
He can still score and organize offenses. Freeing Liu Mang to score easily, the key is to be able to score by himself without having too much impact on Liu Mang's scoring. Reckless efficiency has become even higher!
Seeing that after McGrady came to the Eagles, he was like an upstart, taking rebounds and assists at will, and scoring as much as he wanted, and it didn't affect Liu Mang's scoring!
It is said that the Heat and the Wizards are the biggest winners of the summer trade, and now it seems that the Eagles will not lose to these two teams!
Replacing a top ten superstar in the league with a top three superstar in the league will have no worse effect on the Eagles than Raheem!
Even if it wasn't for the Magic to clear Juwan Howard's garbage contract and send away Barnes and Ratliff, just to say that Raheem was replaced by McGrady, the deal was a big profit, and Ratliff and Barnes After leaving, Josh Smith, who is full of talents, was selected. It was a perfect deal without extra profit.
...
Playing the Lakers is the start of the Eagles' four-game streak.
After defeating the Lakers, the Eagles challenged the Trail Blazers and Kings away on November 4th and 5th.
The old flying mice Damon Stoudemire and Van Exel, who have passed their peaks, lost Antoine Walker and could only play small forwards with Derek Anderson, who also passed their peaks. The only star Zach- Randolph is a big brush, and center is Joel Przybilla.
With such a lineup, who would have imagined that the Portland local tyrants, which were still in full swing three or four years ago, would suddenly become a concentration camp of junk contracts?
After Randolph scored 20+10 in the third grade last season, although he did not get the approval of the media and fans, the owner of the Blazers immediately gave a three-year 36 million contract extension in advance, because Randolph said he would not renew the contract Just apply for a transaction.
36 million in 3 years, to renew the contract with a 23-year-old 20+10 power forward, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss.
Who knows, just after renewing his contract, Randolph has gained more than ten pounds in the new season, and his statistics have declined in all directions, including points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, shooting percentage, playing time...all declines, only turnovers and fouls, The technical fouls soared. In the first four games, there was a sixth foul and two technical fouls...
This is not the most terrifying thing for the Trail Blazers. Even if they get a big contract, they will slack off. Randolph is still a power forward who averages 15+8 per game. One year, that is, 38 million in four years, it seems that it is not a loss.
The most terrifying thing for the Blazers is the team atmosphere!
Randolph actually got involved with gangsters and lured rookie teammates to smoke illegal drugs. This was discovered by Derek Anderson, a postgraduate student at the University of Kentucky School of Medicine, and two factions formed in the Blazers. There are bad boys headed by Randolph, and upright people headed by Derek Anderson.
After the police intervened in the investigation, the name of the Trail Blazers prison team started in the not long past summer. How can the prison team only have prisoners? In addition to Derek Anderson who may be a future doctor, the Blazers also have a god-man ——Ruben Patterson, who claims to be Kobe Bryant's Terminator, was dug out. He is a top student who graduated from the University of Cincinnati in Jurisprudence... The future Mr. Superintendent may become Mr. Superintendent...
The Portland Jails are known for...
Don't try hard to play against the Trail Blazers. No one on the other team can understand anyone. Liu Mang throws it when he goes up. McGrady organizes the attack. Liu Mang throws more happily than before. The key is to play against the Trail Blazers. There is no tacit understanding, Liu Mang has a lot of vacancies, and when McGrady bursts out, he is vacant. He easily scored 28 points in the third quarter and rested.
Before the start of the game, when I was watching the scouting report with Rasheed Wallace, Liu Mang knew that the older generation of NBA players entered the NBA after finishing college after hearing Rasheed Wallace’s introduction. Here, there are so many gods and men!
97 to 84, relying on Liu Mang's 28 points in three quarters and Tracy McGrady's 17 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, the Eagles easily defeated the Trail Blazers and won four consecutive victories.
...
On November 5, the Eagles flew from Portland to Sacramento, the capital of California, early in the morning.
The league gave the Eagles four relatively easy games to adapt to the start of the new season, and then immediately gave the Eagles a tough one. The third game of the season was broadcast live across the United States, and they challenged the Kings away.
The second round of last season almost overturned the Timberwolves Kings. This year Webber recovered, the Lakers collapsed, and the Spurs did not perform well in the playoffs last year. The Kings should have become the second seed in the West after the Timberwolves. .
Liu Mang led his teammates, preparing to take advantage of the strength of the four-game winning streak to deal with the Kings.
Who knew that the gorgeous Kings would completely collapse this season...
The Kings are regarded as the strongest team in the West after the Timberwolves. However, the Timberwolves lost four games in a row at the beginning...
As for the Kings, the start was only 1 win and 3 losses, the main reason being that the defense collapsed!
Doug Christie's aging came too suddenly. Last season, he was still on the second defense, and he was squeezed to the second defense by Kobe and Kidd, and even Duncan was squeezed to the second defense. It seems to be at the peak, and it is not physical With a streamlined style of play, everyone thought that he would grow old and become stronger. Who knows whether he should grow old or not. At the beginning of this season, his open three-point shooting percentage dropped directly from 39.5% last season. To 6.7 percent!
In the first four games, Doug Christie only made 1 of 15 three-pointers!
This is not the most important thing. Doug Christie was the gatekeeper of the Kings' outside defense last season.
On the offensive end, Bibby and Webb still cooperate tacitly, but when the ball reaches Doug Christie, the offense stops immediately. The more Doug Christie fails to make shots, the less people will rotate to defend him, and he has no chance Pass the ball to open teammates, and Princeton doesn't work.
Princeton is like this, paying attention to five players. When Weber is injured, Divac can barely support the team's operation, but for Doug Christie, no one else in the Kings can make up for his loss here!
A blue-collar shooting guard who does not occupy the ball, has three points, can be selected as the first or second defense, and can average 4 assists per game based on his understanding of the system when the ball is not much. The second one.
In other words, the five tigers of the Kings team have almost no possibility of copying this family!
At the beginning of the season, they were actively looking for a deal, probably the Kings. This is also a matter of no choice. The owner has no money, and the government will not build a new arena. They can only guarantee the team's income if they maintain continuous competitiveness. Princeton is It's gorgeous, but every player is expensive. The cheapest Doug Christie is 8 million a year.
In fact, it doesn't matter, you can't find a perfect fit, just find one that is barely enough. In the past two years, Divac is on the verge of retiring, so he just found Brad Miller to make do.
Just get a makeshift one like Gerald Wallace...
A player who played less and less playing time last season and averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds per game in the season. This season, he joined the Bobcats, a new team, and started with 13+5+3... This data is almost the same as that of Doug Christie in previous seasons. Statistics, the most important thing is that in addition to lack of experience in defense, Gerald Wallace has learned a lot from Doug Christie's defense...
If Doug Christie just collapsed defensively, the key is that he also collapsed offensively.
Although Bibby and Webber cooperated well this season, it can be clearly seen that Webber's defense has degraded to scum. Le defense is good, but he alone can't play much role. Originally, the Kings could only rely on offense, and Doug Christie's offense also collapsed. The Kings couldn't play at all at the beginning.
Adelman is not someone who thinks more about players. He is similar to Pat Riley, but he doesn't think about the future of players.
The Five Tigers of the Kings have cooperated for so many years, and the relationship is quite good. Brad Miller also quickly integrated into the circle of the Five Tigers. Because Adelman sought to trade Doug Christie and Webber, the Kings were already declining Under the circumstances, internal strife also occurred!
It was a bad game, and now it's getting worse.
Originally, Liu Mang and others thought it was going to be a tough fight, and they were ready to go all out for this back-to-back match. Who knew, the 24-kilogram golden sledgehammer was sacrificed. Unexpectedly, the Kings fell down without using their strength. up!
113 to 91, five consecutive victories came too easily!
Liu Wei did not expect to win five consecutive victories so easily: Could it be that Xiaoye worked so hard to lead this group of teammates who are getting more and more powerful in grabbing shots? I can't see it. It is too hard to see Xiaoye leading this group of selfish teammates , so give Xiaoye a winning streak?
Often after a prosperous age, great turmoil in the league followed. In the 2003-2004 season, most of the stars of the new, middle and old generations were at their peak or at the end of their peak or had already begun to show their superstar demeanor. There were as many as eight or nine. A team that seems to be able to compete for the championship can be called a prosperous age.
As the saying goes, prosperity comes with decline, especially after the prosperity, there are rules changes that shake the order of the alliance.
With 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Liu Mang played 35 minutes, made 9 of 17 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws. What's annoying is that McGrady passed the ball to Josh Smith and Kwame Brown when there was only one person defending him! Let these two dunk!
Liu Mang looked at the three annoying high school students with resentment: Pass the ball to the young master, and the young master shoots. If you don't score, you can still grab rebounds! If you make a shot, it is a three-pointer. If you don’t make a shot, you get a rebound and you get two points and a rebound. How wonderful!
Liu Mang crazily despised the three high school students.
However, I am very happy to win five consecutive victories. I thought it would be very difficult to play against the Kings, but I didn't expect that the opponent was really about to disband.
Liu Mang has nothing to regret about this, his goal now is his next opponent: Boss Qiao, die!
Playing bobcats, Liu Mang said that he would abuse the food!
