Chapter 897 896. It Turns Out that You Are the One Who Stabbed Me in the Back! (Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Pass)

What else can I do with my teammates? It seems that I am the one who made these teammates so confident. I can only jump out of the "holes" I dug myself.

Liu Mang is really grateful to Jason Terry for thinking so highly of him!

Fortunately, Liu Mang had a good attitude and thought about the child in Alexia's belly. He resisted the urge to go back to the arena to find Jason Terry for a real fight. He started the engine and drove off before the driver behind him had already come down to fight. go home.

After arriving at home and parking the car, Liu Mang's excitement also dropped a bit, and he needed to adjust his mentality.

There are also some concerns.

It's not related to that mission. Thinking about it, I have already reached 40+ 16 times, so there are only 13 left...that's it...

Thinking about it, Liu Mang still wanted to beat Jason Terry.

There are 38 games left, which means he must score 40+ points in at least three games. Liu Mang can only "retaliate" to his teammates for taking too many shots. Since it was his teammates who caused it, he must let his teammates take responsibility!

The worry that Liu Mang appears now is Dinah's emotions.

Dinah is now 10 years old, and she has spent 10 years as an only child. After Liu Mang opened up children's reproductive rights in the future country, he saw many teenage children suddenly having a younger brother and sister, and then they had trouble with their parents. Violent conflicts, even if they are not conflicts, start to use cold violence towards parents and younger siblings. Of course, most of them still want their younger siblings when they are more than 10 years old, but there are also many children who become autistic because of this. , feeling indifferent to the family.

The reason is that in the domestic family concept, the older children should help take care of the younger children, and this traditional culture should be sacrificed.

There is nothing wrong with this cultural concept, but Chinese people often cannot settle the matter in a bowl of water. They forget one thing. Older brothers and sisters are always older brothers and sisters, rather than the so-called eldest brother being the father and the eldest sister being the mother.

The older brothers and sisters selflessly take care of their younger siblings, but they are always older than the younger siblings, and the age gap is not so big that they need the younger siblings to take care of them in old age. It is completely selfless dedication, and there is no possibility of reward.

It is a family relationship for older siblings to help take care of younger siblings. If you don't want to, you shouldn't blame them. You can't deprive your older children of the love they should have if you have younger children. In that era, children under the age of 10 or 20 were all only children. A woman who has enjoyed the care of up to 10 elders from her parents for more than ten years suddenly becomes an "adult" who needs to bear the responsibilities of "eldest brother and eldest sister" will definitely not be able to adapt and she will not be able to accept it in her heart.

Liu Mang was very worried about Dinah's mood because he had seen too many such things in the future era of highly developed information exchange.

After hesitating in the parking lot for a long time, Liu Mang felt that he had to face what he should face!

Liu Mang returned to the villa, and the door was open. It was only 10:40, and the game ended just over 40 minutes ago. Today, Dinah, Levia, and Alexia did not go to the scene to watch the game, but they also watched the game at home. , so I haven’t slept yet, waiting for Liu Mang to come back.

Seeing Liu Mang coming in from the door, Levia asked, "Why did it take so long to come in?"

The sound of the engine and the sound of the door opening when Liu Mang drove back just now were heard by the three people and bodyguards in the room.

"The car stalled on the road just now. I checked if there was any problem with the engine." Liu Mang found an excuse.

Just when Liu Mang was still worried, Dinah pounced on her, and Liu Mang quickly hugged the little loli who was already about 1.4 meters tall and was about to grow up.

"Uncle, uncle! Is the teacher really going to have a baby? A younger brother or a younger sister? Let's have a younger brother. When the younger brother grows up, you can ask him to work and beat him if he doesn't obey. But not the younger sister. The younger sister is so cute and cries. What should I do? So uncle, let the teacher give birth to a younger brother..." The little Loli jumped into Liu Mang's arms and immediately started chattering.

Liu Mang was a little confused. He listened to the little Loli talking and looked at the two girls beside him who were laughing non-stop. Liu Mang's head was a bit big, something was wrong!

It’s said that eldest children in their teens usually don’t like younger siblings?

What's happening here?

However, listening to Dinah chattering about how she would bully her when she gave birth to a younger brother. If the "unfortunate" child was a younger sister, she would give her beautiful clothes from her childhood to wear. After talking for a long time, Liu Mang felt warm in his heart. Unstoppable surge.

Sometimes things aren't that complicated! And even if it’s complicated, even if such a cute little loli is not happy to have another younger brother and sister, at worst, I will be better to the little loli, and at worst, I will take on more family responsibilities...

…

…

The day after playing the Celtics, it was the Hawks' second back-to-back game this month against the Magic. After Liu Mang got up in the morning and took Dinah for a run, before going to the gym, he came to Alexia. He touched Alexia's belly in the room. It seemed that nothing had changed, and she felt a little impatient.

Alexia was woken up by Liu Mang. Seeing Liu Mang put his ear on her belly, she said angrily and funny: "I just got pregnant, how could it be so fast! Don't disturb my sleep!"

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving first. Get up early for dinner. Dinah and I have prepared something and put it on the dining table." Liu Mang smiled sarcastically. He was so embarrassed and left quickly.

Alexia was woken up and reluctantly turned on the air conditioner in the room, getting ready to get up.

…

Liu Mang came to the arena to prepare for the evening game.

Tracy McGrady is coming back today. On the other hand, Rasheed Wallace and Prince were notified to start taking turns.

In the overall schedule of January, although the opponents are strong, there are fewer games. There are only two back-to-back games in total, and there are only 15 games. The Hawks have played 44 games. There are two games left this month. After today's game, they will rest for 4 days to play the Rockets. Then the games in February and March will be terrible.

There are 28 days in February. Apart from the Hawks' 8-day All-Star Weekend rest day, there are 20 days left, 11 games, 16 games in March, and 9 games in 15 days in April. The schedule is as tight as it can be.

As a defensive pioneer, Prince, like McGrady, consumes a lot of energy on the defensive end. Rasheed Wallace will be 31 years old in September, and his physical fitness has a downward trend. This season, his playing time has dropped to 31 minutes. Fortunately, there are Muhammad and Josh Smith. The Hawks have played small ball for a long time, so there is no big problem. Rasheed Wallace can defend with all his strength without worrying about his physical fitness.

Of course, it is precisely because of the all-out efforts that the players are more exhausted, and they can only play at their best when they are in good physical condition. Therefore, rest has entered the schedule of the Hawks when there are about two weeks before the All-Star Weekend.

Not only Prince and Rasheed Wallace, McGrady recovered quickly after the physical collapse after playing against the Spurs, and it only took 3 days, but the severity of the physical collapse was even greater than the reaction of Stockton using physical potions, which made Liu Mang know that McGrady only recovered quickly, but his physical condition was not very good.

Liu Mang can help his teammates not get injured, but he cannot help his teammates maintain their condition, and what affects their condition is physical condition.

Liu Mang also knows that he must take more responsibilities, and it can be regarded as giving young players some training opportunities.

Compared with other teams that get injured due to insufficient physical fitness, have less training after injury, and continue to have physical problems after returning, this vicious cycle, Liu Mang is very lucky to have Liu Mang protect his teammates from injury.

The accelerated pace has led to the injury wave stage this year.

What affects the number of injuries is often not the confrontation, but the rhythm. In the 1980s, the Showtime era opened by Pat Riley allowed the Lakers to average 117 points per game, which brought the league's rhythm very fast, resulting in a large number of injuries to players in the 1980s, and the same will be true in the future Universe Warriors era.

Because everyone can get used to confrontation slowly, but the wear and tear of the body's joints caused by the fast rhythm is inevitable.

In this game, Prince and Rasheed Wallace took turns to rest because the Hawks didn't want to delay it any longer. They should have taken turns to rest after playing against the Spurs, but McGrady's weakness caused the delay. Now that McGrady is back, they decisively enter the rest stage.

…

…

Playing against the Magic again, this season may be the last game against the Magic. It is possible that the Magic will be the eighth in the Eastern Conference, and it is not certain that the two teams will play against each other in the playoffs.

The Magic have a high chance of making the playoffs, so the Hawks must win here, and the record of the two teams cannot become a 2-2 tie, and the Magic cannot accumulate confidence.

The good news for the Hawks is that the Magic are playing the last game of a miserable 4-game 5-day schedule. After the Hawks played the Magic in the last game, the Magic only rested for one day and then played back-to-back games, so the Hawks can rest Prince and Rasheed Wallace.

The Hawks sent out Liu Mang, Korver, McGrady, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown as the starting lineup today.

The Magic sent out Nelson, Christie, DeShawn Stevenson, Rahim, and Howard.

Rahim watched the other team's two generals, Prince and Rasheed Wallace, resting. It was really a good opportunity to defeat his old team! A rare opportunity!

However, seeing Hill also wearing a suit, Rahim looked at the team's passers. Christie can't break through now, and without the Princeton system, his pass is basically useless, and he has become a full-time shooter. The other passer... Nelson...

Just as Rahim was desperate, the Hawks' Rasheed Wallace was not there, and the inside defense strength dropped sharply. Kwame Brown can help defend so well in the inside, largely because Rasheed Wallace can defend shots and can carry the center, and Kwame Brown can have no worries when he makes up for the defense.

Now Rasheed Wallace is resting, Muhammad is active, rebounds better, but his defensive role is far worse than Rasheed Wallace. This is the difference between an ordinary starter and a star.

However, now with Rahim and Howard, the Magic team, which has an advantage in the inside against Muhammad and Kwame Brown, has not been able to use these two points at all, because Hill is not there!

Nelson couldn't care less. In his prime, he was criticized for not having a passing awareness and tactical awareness, only being able to break through and score. He had a three-point threat to attract Liu Mang to stick to the defense and break into the inside, but he couldn't turn the breakthrough opportunity brought by his three-point threat into the team's advantage. He insisted on making a layup, but was blocked by Liu Mang from behind four times in the whole game!

The Magic team found that they could only play one-on-one...

Magic head coach Johnny Davis had no choice. Who would have thought that the key to deciding the victory or defeat of his team was Grant Hill, who had been out for four consecutive seasons!

Hill, a truly all-around organizing forward, is the core that allows the Magic team to exert its full strength as much as possible to ensure the team's lower limit.

Rahim is a scorer and rebounder. He can improve the Magic team's upper limit. When Hill organizes the offense to keep the team's lower limit, he can make the team better, but if he is asked to win by scoring, it's okay against weak teams, but against strong teams... it's useless.

Rahim started to play dirty, and wherever Liu Mang appeared, Rahim went to double-team Liu Mang with his teammates.

After halftime, Liu Mang scored 19 points thanks to McGrady's pass. The Eagles were already 20 points ahead 59-39. Rahim knew they couldn't win, so he refused to let Liu Mang score 40 points!

Rahim didn't want this kid to set a new record on his head, so he defended very hard, even if Rahim wanted to score, he double-teamed Liu Mang throughout the game.

Liu Mang directly attracted the two defenders and gave the ball to McGrady. Under McGrady's pass, Iguodala, Korver, Calderon, and Jason Terry alternated on the outside and on the inside. Muhammad, Josh Smith, Mourning, and Kwame Brown who played all got a lot of shooting opportunities. It didn't matter if the Eagles were slacking on defense, the points kept increasing.

At the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Magic head coach Johnny Davis took the initiative to call a timeout and substituted the main players and surrendered. Although the point difference had been around 20 points, the Magic did not narrow the point difference with 7 minutes left. , 21 points behind 81 to 102, no chance at all.

The Eagles also replaced their main players. Liu Mang made 13 of 31 shots and scored 35 points and 4 rebounds. He was replaced in tears.

In the end, seven players from the Hawks scored in double figures, defeating the Magic 117-103 with a margin of 14 points.

The Magic were not beaten too badly. In fact, the Hawks did not defend much in the second half and relied on offense to fight against the Biao. As long as the point difference was still in a safe stage, Coach Kruger did not care so much. He had to give his teammates the benefit of the doubt. Big brother, give me some face.

Liu Mang never expected that the person who prevented him from scoring 40 points in his sixth consecutive game would be his former big brother!

Easily improving their record to 38 wins and 7 losses, the Hawks have the last game left in January. On January 31, the Hawks will play the Rockets in Houston for the second time this season. They will play the Rockets away from home. Team.

Counting this one, there were three games left in total against the two strongest centers in the East and West. When Liu Mang took a shower after playing against the Magic, he looked at the task "Dancing with Giants" again and thought about it. Feel terrible.

You have to win! Let’s not talk about Wade’s star card. The key is not to dance in the square with O’Neal and Yao Ming!
