As January comes to an end, the coldest period of winter is about to pass, and the fatigue of watching football in the past half month or so has gradually dissipated with the change of weather, and they are slowly regaining their enthusiasm for watching football.

With less than three days left on the All-Star voting deadline, the month-long All-Star voting window is closing on January 24, and players who want to be selected as All-Star starters are doing their best to show what they can do.

For example, a player in Los Angeles, on January 22, the day when the Hawks hosted the Nets, it happened to be the Lakers playing the Raptors back-to-back, and they started to be hungry at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

A player saw that the opponent was no longer as crazy as before, and when Yao Ming offset the Raptors' strongest player, Milicic with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and the Lakers had an advantage in other positions, a certain player began to shoot wildly.

While doing the stretching part of the warm-up, Liu Mang watched the live broadcast of the Lakers and Raptors, two teams with powerful centers, and saw that a certain player had scored 50 points on 40 shots, and scolded shamelessly.

"Tracy, Jason, look, BIG-YAO has scored 25 points on 10-of-10 shooting, and that guy only has 50 points on 40 shots, if you give these shots to BIG-YAO, BIG-YAO will score 100 points!"

"......" Maddie was speechless, can it still be counted like this?

However, what made Maddie even more speechless was that Jason Terry chimed in: "Yes, yes, Ace is right, that guy will only rely on high shots to score points, and the shooting percentage is still so low, only 16 of 40 shots are made." ”

Since Liu Mang asked Jason Terry to defend James, what Liu Mang said, Jason Terry felt was the truth.

“……”

Maddie ignored the two and left the locker room after changing into a suit.

The night before, Maddie played 46 minutes in that game against the Jazz, and although he started four consecutive home games, Maddie still had to rest.

Looking at Maddie who was leaving, Liu Mang had a big head, Kidd and Carter...... The new generation of Choppie combination, if it weren't for the Nets' many injuries this season, with Carter not suffering a major injury and Kidd at the peak tail, the record would not be so bad.

The point is that the Nets are now in a fierce battle with the 76ers for the rankings, and even though it's only the middle of the season, both the Nets and the 76ers want to get ahead.

Maddie and Rasheed Wallace don't play, and it's still a big problem for the Eagles.

But the Hawks can't interrupt the rotation plan that has been prepared since they knew the schedule from the beginning, and since the Eastern Conference finals crossed the Nets in 2004, the Hawks have not put the Nets team that has passed their peak among the target opponents, and will not break the plan because of this opponent, unless it is like the first game after the All-Star Weekend against the Lakers, and the last game before the All-Star Weekend against the Heat, the Hawks will go all out to send the main team.

Now it's all about physical protection and training for the young players.

And they played well, and in a schedule like January, the Hawks had the first winning percentage compared to other teams in the league.

Although the Hawks wanted to surpass or tie the Bulls' record of only five losses before the All-Star Weekend, the Hawks are now 36-4, which is the current record, and the Bulls lost the fifth game of the 95-96 season relatively early, only to get a nine-game winning streak before the All-Star Weekend, and suddenly improved the record to a terrifying 48-5.

But there are some differences to the schedule now than it was a decade ago, especially with the Hawks, who had only 51 games before All-Star Weekend.

There are already some who are expecting the Hawks to break the Bulls' all-time record before All-Star Weekend and have a chance to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins.

But the Hawks coaching staff wants stability, 72 wins in the regular season is tempting, but 72 wins lead to fitness problems in the playoffs, then the gains outweigh the losses, nothing is more important than the championship.

The main reason is that the Hawks have won the championship for four consecutive years and won the championship for two consecutive years, although there have been many players, but Rasheed Wallace, one of the core players of the two consecutive championships, is older, Liu Mang and Jason Terry, the two absolute main forces, although young, also have to prevent injuries, Liu Mang is okay, the coaching staff treats him as an iron man, except for asking him to train less, nothing else can be stopped, but Jason Terry is occasionally rested, which proves the goal of the Hawks coaching staff and management this season.

Breaking 72 wins, how can a championship come cool.

When Liu Mang finished stretching and was about to move his muscles and joints, the system prompted him.

"Ding...... Because the host lost to the Nets in the last meeting, the matchup between the host and Jason Kidd has attracted widespread attention, and the natal position suppression series task: the revenge battle of the master of the court is triggered. ”

"Masters of the Arena Revenge Game 1: The host needs to have more assists than Jason Kidd in this game and lead the team to victory.

The second leg of the master of the court revenge battle: The host needs to crush Deron Williams in the next home game against the Jazz, and the three statistics of points, assists, and rebounds must be at least twice as many as Deron Williams' scores, assists, and rebounds.

Reward: Deron Williams or Jason Kidd can choose a pinnacle card, and the Natal Position Suppression mission can be continued. ”

After losing to the Nets and Jazz, Liu Mang received a system prompt that the natal position suppression task was interrupted, and a prompt to wait for the task to restart.

Locking the title of the league's No. 1 point guard, even if he doesn't have this task, Liu Mang wants to take this title under his name.

Moreover, it is often not the players who value the title of the league's No. 1 point guard, but the fans.

Liu Mang is now averaging 30.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 11.2 assists, 1.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 3.7 turnovers per game, especially 11.2 assists, which makes fans already regard Liu Mang as a favorable contender for the league's No. 1 point guard.

Liu Mang lost to Kidd once before, and in that game Kidd got 10 points, 10 boards and 12 assists for an economic triple-double that he was unwilling to score and a board, Liu Mang only got 9 assists in that game, although he had 35 points, but from the perspective of "point guard", Liu Mang fell behind.

However, the downfall is not obvious, mainly because the Hawks are resting in rotation, the role players are not accurate in the second half, after Liu Mang began to take over the score, he was caught again, and his teammates couldn't shoot, and the Eagles lost, in terms of performance, Liu Mang is not much worse than Carter and Kidd, but it just so happened that Carter and Kidd both played with their lives to win and fight for fourth.

However, for Liu Mang, he and Kidd organized an attack...... It's still stressful......

……

……

"Theo, how's it going?"

"Not bad, Ace."

"I'm fine, too."

"That's good, I hope you can win three in a row."

"Haha, of course, I won't waste the foundation of the dynasty we created together......"

Before the game, Liu Mang and Jason Terry went to catch up with the opposing center, Ratliff.

Ratliff's strength has dropped a lot now, and Liu Mang took a look at it, and only 75 ability evaluations were made.

It's not about injuries, although Ratliff has also had minor injuries, but it doesn't have much impact, these veterans have a lot of injuries, and because the Hawks have demonstrated the correct way to use Ratliff to the Nets, Ratliff plays 20 minutes a game, mainly because Ratliff is 33 years old, even if he has no major injuries in the Hawks for three years, there has been no cliff-like decline, and now he has not experienced his original second major injury, and has lost his previous explosiveness and speed and lateral movement, The number of blocks fell to Ratliffe's lowest since he started in junior year, averaging just 1.9 blocks per game in 21 minutes per game, and the only time in nearly nine years that he has not had more than double digits.

Although Liu Mang didn't think it was good to think like that, it was indeed a very wise choice for the management to send Ratliff away and straighten out Kwame Brown, although Liu Mang himself was sad for a long time at the time.

Looking at Jason Terry, who chatted with Ratliff about the topic of color, Liu Mang didn't expect that the group of teammates he had back then, and the last one left was actually this guy, this kind of guy who couldn't add assists in the past, Liu Mang really wanted to sell it.

But every time Jason Terry made a key shot...... Liu Mang felt ...... Let's keep it......

At this time, Carter came, hugged Liu Mang and said, "Ace, Tracy is not here, you are going to lose to me again today, we will definitely be able to defeat you this year." ”

Liu Mang listened to Carter's words and thought: Does this guy want to play fourth, and then kill Xiao Ye in the playoffs?

Liu Mang smiled: "Vince, your idea is very creative, and it is easier to realize it in your dreams." ”

"Of course you have to have a dream! Isn't that what you said back then? Carter smiled in response, said hello and went back to his own half.

Carter also wants to win the championship, although the chance is not large, but to show off the victory in the last game, Carter still feels quite happy.

Liu Mang looked at Carter, as if he was just here to show off that they won the last time they met, and it felt weird.

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing to help him heal his feet? I don't understand," Liu Mang looked at Carter as he was no different from before, still like he felt that his talent had no limits and would be said in the future, Liu Mang said to the system, "Carter and Kidd's ability evaluation." ”

"Vince Carter, Ability Rating 94, Offense 97, Defense 84, Three-Point 93, Shooting 91, Layup 95, Speed 91, Power 88......"

Liu Mang took a look at Carter's ability evaluation again, and there was still a little gap with the superstar, from the perspective of various abilities, Carter definitely had the ability of a superstar, and the difference was his heart.

"Jason Kidd, Ability Rating 92, Offense 77, Defense 95, Passing 100, Three-Point 86, Shooting 71, Layup 83, Speed 88, Power 87......"

Kidd, I'm starting to feel a little demonic.

These two outside lines, Maddie doesn't play, Liu Mang feels very difficult to gnaw!
