After comfortably beating the Mavericks on the 27th, we took a day off and entered a new competition month on March 1st, the league's new monthly winner.

The West side was won by Steve Nash, who won the Western Conference of the Month for the third time this season, except for one time in January when Francis snatched the best of the month, and in November and December, Nash won the Western Conference of the Month.

On the eastern side, relying on 16 consecutive wins, the Hawks won all 11 games in February, and Liu Mang finally won the Eastern Conference of the Month.

The average points per game soared to an average of 37 points per game, and it stabilized, and there is a tendency to continue to explode, Liu Mang finally let people see his "progress", and the Eastern Conference Best of the Month finally won.

Anyway, there is no season that can't win the best of the month, Liu Mang has won the best of the month once in the second year as a substitute, and he can't get it this season and is depressed......

In the afternoon, he got the best trophy of the month, let the special reporter take a photo, and the league official also took a group photo to be used as a news picture on the official website, Liu Mang's obsession with the best of the month this season has dropped, and the best name of the month in the first three months of James, Wade, and James, Liu Mang is really unhappy.

Wade is okay, but he is third in the East, and James can't make the playoffs in his second season, so he is really alive, although the data is good, but he has not yet converted the data into a record.

Every time Liu Mang sees the 03 generation, he wants to do a shot, and the reason for this is also in it.

……

In the evening, the Hawks ushered in the first back-to-back of a new game month, playing first the Bucks and then the 76ers.

Playing the Bucks, the Hawks sent a starting lineup of Calderon, Liu Mang, Prince, Muhammad, and Rasheed Wallace.

The Bucks are really desperate this season, Kukoc has retired, and the Bucks have no one to suppress a group of young people who are striving for the top, the most important thing is their leading point guard, recognized as the fastest player in the league TJ Ford's season reimbursement, and the second-round pick in '03 Mo Williams became the starting point guard, that guy, called a Du, led the Bucks' singles frenzy, and the outside player who gets the ball is single.

The Bucks, who were a playoff team last year, completely collapsed this year, didn't make it in the top 10 in the East, and were rotten from the start, except for Reed, who improved from 21 points per game to 23.3 points per game, and the Bucks management didn't have anything to be happy about and was forced to start swinging around.

Coach Terry Porter is ready to write his resignation, he feels that being an NBA coach is much more difficult than being a player and an NCAA coach, when a player he is a top point guard who has been tough with Magic Johnson, a top point guard who has played 14.9 points, 10.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals, but when the NBA head coach Qian is not as good as the college coach Qian Duo, there is still a group of masters who are difficult to serve, and this group of masters is not as good as when he played by himself.

In the past two years, many NCAA coaches have entered the NBA, but basically they have coached for a year or two, and then they go back to college.

However, even if the Bucks management decided to mess up, they were desperate when they were rotten, they were in the third from the bottom in the East, 21-40, which was already bad, and the Bobcats didn't talk about it, and the Raptors were only 20 wins......

The Bucks, who are fifth from the bottom in the league, can't go up in terms of record, and it's not as bad as the worst in the league, and now the players don't have the heart to win, even Reed.

People are like this, even if they are very competitive, but they will not get along with money, Reed's current 3-year 9 million contract is completely inconsistent with his value, at least Terry's salary of 9.33 million is in line with his expectations, this season is Reed's fifth season, the last year of the three-year contract, although Reed's average points per game have reached a career high, but even in the case of new rules that can not be used on outside defense, his shooting percentage is a new low since his rookie season, and the efficiency is extremely poor.

The team is rotten like this anyway, Reed is averaging 20.4 shots per game and hitting just 8.5 goals, the lowest of any player averaging 20+ points per game this season, and Iverson is shooting 45 percent from the field.

The game is easy to win, the Bucks' defense will not defend as long as it encounters a block, there is no defense at all, and they all want to score and brush data, not only Reed, but sophomore Mo Williams also wants to get a contract extension, and the two-year second-round pick contract expires after this season, so they are all brushing data.

At the beginning of this game, when Calderon was on the court, Liu Mang continued to focus on no ball, 40 points in the last game, 17 points were scored by catching the ball, and the proportion of points scored with the ball dropped from 69 percent to 58 percent, it would be good if it could be stabilized, if the proportion of points with the ball could be reduced to about 50 percent, it would be able to meet Liu Mang's expectations.

Halfway through the first quarter, Calderon was replaced by Iguodala, Jason Terry replaced Prince, and Liu Mang began to need to pass, but it was mainly Iguodala and Jason Terry who held the ball, and played a weak team to make Iguodalado take some responsibility.

It's basically a tactical game, and I treat this game as if it were a training match.

Liu Mang clocked out in the third quarter, shot 15 of 23, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and was so efficient that he beeped, but there were no free throws, except for Reed's outside defense, he shot very hard, and the other party saw him break into the interior without supplementing the defense, only got 3 free throws, and cut down 36 points, 6 boards, 4 assists and 3 steals.

Relying on Liu Mang's 36 points, Mourning, who came off the bench, scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks, Muhammad had 4 points and 12 boards, Jason Terry had 18 points and 6 assists, Persson scored 14 points, Iguodala had 6 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds, Korver's 9 points, Calderon got 7 points and 9 assists, Josh Smith rubbish time to brush up the score, and the Hawks easily defeated the Bucks 115-90 to win 17 in a row.

……

……

The day after the Bucks, the Hawks played against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The 76ers are likely to be the Hawks' first-round opponent, and for now, the situation in the West is stable, with the Suns first in the West at 49-10, the SuperSonics at 45-14 and second in the West, the Spurs 44-14 and third in the West, and the Mavericks 39-22 and fourth in the West.

Although the Mavericks have had a great impact on their record in the recent throes, they still have an advantage with the fifth-place 35-25 Rockets, and the fifth-place Rockets and the sixth-place Kings are also relatively far behind, with the Kings 32-27, the seventh-largest Nuggets 31-29, and the eighth-place Grizzlies just 29-29.

The Lakers fell out of 50% of their winning percentages, winning just 28-31.

After that, the Clippers and Warriors both had only 26 wins.

The situation in the East is relatively chaotic, with the top five being as hard as iron, with the Hawks in first place with 50-7, the Pistons in second place with 48-11, the Nets in third with 32-27, the Heat in fourth place with 44-16 and the Bulls in fifth place with 35-14 losses.

But the five teams of the Magic, 76ers, Wizards, Pacers, and Cavaliers ranked six to ten have a winning rate of almost 50 percent.

And there is another key point, everyone wants a higher ranking, no one wants to play the Hawks, but the seventh position in the East is very covetous to those teams, because the Pistons have been blackened.

This made it difficult for the Eagles to determine who the final opponent was, so they played these five teams to the death.

……

"There are so many Iverson fans again, and I said Tracy, why don't you have so many fans." Liu Mang couldn't help but complain.

"My fans are here too! It's just that you're used to it! Maddie emphasized.

At 8:15 p.m., the players of both teams entered, and when Iverson came out, even in the away stadium, there were many fans cheering for Iverson.

Iverson's fans are quite loyalist, which Liu Mang admires very much.

Looking at the fans who were overwhelmed with "hooligans" written on their chests at the scene, Liu Mang didn't want these fans, he asked Maddie: "Tracy, I know you love face, look at these fans, do you want to buy fans?" I'll sell it to you, and I can pay for it. ”

"Roll ......"

Liu Mang tossed Maddie for a while, went up to practice shooting and waited for the game to start.

Iverson is like this every time, and he usually plays okay, not to mention the close relationship, at least he plays well.

But when it came time for the game, it looked like I was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and I arrived in Atlanta yesterday and sat in a box to watch the game.

That's right, it's a box, and Iverson is so pompous when he has money.

But after watching the Eagles game, he also came to say hello to the Eagles players, not to mention having a meal together or something, which made Liu Mang feel that this guy was afraid of him rubbing rice? Is he Liu someone that kind of person?

Like now, when the game was about to start, Iverson was over there discussing something with Webb, and didn't come over to talk to Liu Mang or the Eagles players.

Although the style of play has changed, the character is still the same.

Liu Mang didn't have a hot face and a cold ass in the past, they were all big guys.

Knowing that he was invincible, Liu Mang took a look at the players on the 76ers' side.

Allen Iverson, with an ability rating of 96, is still a little worse than when he was at his peak, but it is a little worse than when he first came back from injury last season, and overall he is still in his prime, averaging 27.3 points, 4 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.4 steals per game, with a shooting rate of 45 percent, the best scoring performance of his career, fourth in the league in scoring, seventh in the league in assists, and second in the league in steals.

It's still that Iverson, whether it's personality or toughness on the field, it's really changed dramatically.

Liu Mang saw Iverson's data performance and felt that it was difficult to deal with.

It's 30 months away! However, Liu Mang thought of the original time and space, Iverson's injury was more serious before he went to treat the injury, and the 04-05 season adapted for a year, and 05-06 averaged 33 points per game, if it weren't for a Los Angeles player, he would be the player with the highest average points per game in a single season since Jordan.

But now, everything is a floating cloud, and Liu Mang is ready to surpass Jordan's highest average points per game.

Willie Green...... Liu Mang's former teammate, who was traded to the 76ers after the All-Star weekend, plays as a shooting guard, has an ability rating of 72, and is not a bad sophomore player, averaging 7 points per game.

Childis, with an ability rating of 76, averaged 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

There are more than 20 games left in the season, and the characteristics of the rookies have long been completely explored, and the characteristics of Childis are clearly written in the scouting report that Liu Mang gets, the shooting is not accurate but there are three points, the speed is fast and the jump is high in the air, which is very suitable for Iverson, but there is a particularly big problem, no defense at all, too thin.

Webb, with an ability evaluation of 88, has passed his peak, but his strength still exists, averaging 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game after coming to the 76ers, his role is similar to that of Rasheed Wallace, but not as good as Rasheed Wallace's physical retention.

Mark Jackson, with an ability rating of 74, averages 12 points and 5 rebounds per game, is a muscular tough guy, and has a good ability to eat cakes.

Looking at the strength of the 76ers' lineup, Liu Mang knew that if he wanted to deal with the 76ers, he mainly had to deal with Iverson!

At 8:35, the previous game broadcast by ESPN was over, the three-point battle between the SuperSonics and the Suns, Ray Allen and the Suns fought in overtime after his comeback, and at the critical moment of overtime, he relied on Joe Johnson's high back to turn over and jump shot at the critical moment, stretching the difference to 138-134, and the Suns held the four-point difference and defeated the SuperSonics.

However, the Suns' game was really too fast, and after overtime, the expected game time was only more than 5 minutes, that is, without overtime, the game had to end about 10 minutes early.

The referee gets the news that the last game is over and informs both teams that the players are ready to play.

The lights dimmed as Kwame Brown patted his hands and Muhammad's thoughtful look, and Rashid Wallace's hideous roar detonated the audience, and Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air and stepped onto the pitch with Maddie, who had spoken to the referee.

Prince and Rasheed Wallace continued to rotate today and didn't break the rest because the 76ers were a likely first-round opponent, and the Hawks fielded a combination of Mang Liu, Maddy, Korver, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown.

On the 76ers' side, the lineup of Iverson, Willie Green, Josh Childis, Chris Webb, and Mark Jackson started the game.

Maddie went up and said hello to the players on the 76ers' side, the 76ers are a friendly team, but it's hard to say when they really meet in the playoffs.

As the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball, and Liu Mang received the ball and passed it to Maddie and ran to the front court by himself.

After Liu Mang arrived at the frontcourt, he saw that it was Iverson who came to defend himself, and immediately ran under the cover of his teammates, thinking that the 76ers would score an average of 99 points per game and lose 99 points of defense, and they could easily get rid of them, but they ran out of the block and came to the outside of the three-point line on the left side of the basket, and saw Iverson following closely like a shadow!

Playing without the ball, I am most afraid of this kind of opponent who is fast and likes to compete! Just like Ray Allen, Alan Houston, and Hamilton saw Liu Mang's head big, Liu Mang can be said to be the fastest off-ball pitcher in the league when he plays without the ball, but it's a bit difficult to meet Iverson!

Liu Mang immediately felt that there were also defects in playing without the ball, and when he thought of the development direction he chose, it was written to improve the efficiency of singles at critical moments, and he suddenly understood this matter.

Maddie's side saw that Liu Mang didn't have a chance, and was bitten by Iverson, and Maddie came by herself.

Maddie pulled to the right side, and the explosive first three strides broke through to the three-point line, leaving the oddly poor defense of Childries behind.

Maddie broke inside, Webb and Mark Jackson both defended, and Willie Green, who defended Korver in the bottom corner, also caught up, and Maddie accidentally fell into the encirclement!

Too careless!

I didn't expect the 76ers' defense to be so fierce at the beginning!

The pass was blocked by Webb and Mark Jackson, Korver, who ran to the left 45-degree angle, was blocked by Willie Green, and the direction of Liu Mang outside the three-point line on the left side of the basket was blocked by the chasing Childis.

The main thing is that Rasheed Wallace is not there, and Muhammad at the power forward position is also on the edge of the three-second zone on the left side of the basket, and no one is answering in the bottom left corner! Can't pull the space apart completely!

Maddie had a whim, thought of Liu Mang's "God's Pass", and jumped up violently.

Sure enough, Mark Jackson, Childres, and Webb all jumped up to block, and Maddie turned his back to the rebound in the air and threw the ball towards the top arc.

Liu Mang saw Maddie's action of jumping up and twisting and blocked the sentence "MMX" in his throat, he guessed that Maddie's guy wanted to play a trick!

What does this guy's head think?

Before Iverson could judge what Maddie was going to do, when Liu Mang saw Maddie turn around and make a throwing motion, he immediately rushed towards the direction that Maddie was facing, that is, the top arc.

Seeing that Liu Mang used his "exquisite ball leader" to deceive Iverson, and basically grabbed the ball when the ball flew to the point, Maddie's face was full of pride when he fell, it turned out that leading people with the ball was so cool...... What a fart!

When Liu Mang was about to touch the ball, Willie Green, who was closer to the top arc, rushed to the top arc first and knocked down Liu Mang to grab the ball!

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Liu Mang was knocked because Maddie passed too suddenly, and when he rushed over, he didn't notice that there were still people grabbing the ball together, and he was knocked down by Willie Green, who was ready to fight.

The two collided without touching the ball, and it was the two of them colliding together, not who insisted on hitting whom, it was a reasonable confrontation when the ball was scrambling!

Willie Green grabbed the ball and rushed to the front court to smash the ball into the basket with one hand!

The fans at the scene saw that Willie Green knocked Liu Mang over, so whether it was a reasonable collision or not, the referee didn't give the whistle, and the fans booed.

But the next scene, the fans booed and exploded!

After Willie Green scored, he actually picked up the ball and made the action of taking the initiative to paste it when Liu Mang made a foul and then threw the ball into the air and threw the cannon......

It is clear that he is provoking Liu Mang!

Willie Green was waived by the Hawks halfway through last season, and has always hated the Hawks, and this year he finally got to the starting position when the 76ers traded a bunch of players to replace Webb without a point guard, playing the Hawks, and he wants revenge!

It is true that he has nothing to do with Liu Mang, and his stay has nothing to do with Liu Mang, but he was originally also a "point guard", which naturally brought him into the mentality of a "competitor".

The fans at the scene saw Willie Green's movements and booed loudly.

Liu Mang stood up and saw this picture, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, pursed his mouth, didn't say anything, ran back and waited for the serve, and there was no expression when he passed by Willie Green.

Maddie, who came back with Liu Mang, saw Liu Mang's expression, and he felt Liu Mang's contempt and anger for Willie Green, and thought in his heart: "It's over, that kid is finished...... But it looks like the game is going to be easy again......"

Liu Mang received Maddie's serve, advanced to the front court by himself, and did not pass to Maddie again.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Maddie commanded Korver, who wanted to go to the bottom corner to open up space, to the high post, and Maddie himself came to the right bottom corner to open up space.

That's not part of the tactics! Korver came to the right side of the free-throw line a little overwhelmed, this is not the place where he can shoot!

Liu Mang came to the top arc, Iverson defended up, Liu Mang saw Maddie commanding Korver to a high position, this wordless tacit understanding, what else do you need to say? It's Willie Green who defends Korver!

Liu Mang beckoned Korver to come over to block the demolition, Korver finally knew what he should do, and immediately came up to help Liu Mang block Iverson, Liu Mang bypassed the block, Korver immediately ran towards the bottom left corner, Iverson could only follow Korver to the bottom left corner.

Willy Green was originally guarding against Liu Mang's breakthrough after blocking and dismantling, and immediately changed his defense, but found that Liu Mang was waiting for Korver to take Iverson away and open up the space.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball in the top arc and suddenly took a step to the right, Willie Green was highly excited, stealing Liu Mang, counterattacking and dunking, provoking Liu Mang, all done! The key is that Liu Mang "didn't dare to fight back"!

Seeing Liu Mang take a step, the highly excited Willie Green took a step back suddenly, Liu Mang didn't move forward at all, and immediately retracted his foot, Willie Green scolded angrily in his heart and hurriedly pounced back.

Willie Green, who was highly excited, still had a little clear head, and he didn't jump back.

At this time, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and bent his knees to jump, Willie Green saw that Liu Mang grabbed the ball and was about to shoot, and blocked it towards Liu Mang, but Liu Mang just stood on tiptoe!

Liu Mang shook Willie Green, swung the ball towards Willie Green, and threw a cupola cannon......

The referee's whistle blows, the thug fouls!

Liu Mang didn't even glance at Willie Green, and walked to the free throw line and hit all three free throws.

was made a three-point foul by Liu Mang, and Iverson couldn't say anything, he was supposed to defend Liu Mang, but he was taken away by Korver, and it's no wonder that Willie Green, a sophomore.

When it came to the 76ers offense.

Iverson pushed up front, and he had to play his own offensive threat first.

Liu Mang came to the top arc to defend Iverson, gesturing to signal Korver to be ready to make up for the defense at any time.

Iverson used the butterfly step to wear flowers, changed direction sharply, and could stop and accelerate at any time, there was really no way to prevent it, Liu Mang was left behind by Iverson.

But Liu Mang did not give up and continued to catch up with Iverson, at this time Iverson saw that Korver had made up the defense in place, he did not pass the ball, and chose a step outside the free throw line to stop the jump shot, which was interfered with by Liu Mang who came from behind him, and was forced to throw the ball out after adjusting in the air.

Iverson missed his first shot in the opening game.

When it came to the Hawks' offense again, Liu Mang continued to play blocking and dismantling with Korver, forcing the opponent to switch defenses and singled Willie Green.

Liu Mang still had the same expression that didn't take Willy Green in his eyes, and used a feint again, Willie Green was fooled again!

Liu Mang rubbed towards Willy Green and threw another cupola!

At this time, people reacted that Liu Mang's two foul actions were exactly the same as Willie Green's actions to provoke him just now!

Willie Green reacted too! He was completely teased by the other party!

The other party didn't respond because of anything else, but because they were too lazy to fight, and responded directly with the game!

The reason why Liu Mang didn't show an angry expression when he saw Willie Green's provocation, didn't say much, and didn't even pay attention to Willie Green, mainly because, would he want to take a bite back after being bitten by a dog?

The tiger is powerful, it can compete with lions, and it can have the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat with cheetahs, but when it encounters a dog that has gone crazy, it will bypass it if it is provoked.

If you win the lion, you will be feared by the beasts, and if you win the cheetah, you will be feared by the beasts, but if you win the mad dog, there is nothing to show off, and it will not be good if you are bitten.

As a tiger, to deal with mad dogs, you have to be ruthless directly!
