805. Hurt each other

Charlotte, the Eagles haven't been here in over a year.

However, the current Eagles don't have much to think about the time they used to play against the teams they used to play here.

The Atlanta welfare team is always the bottom of the Care League.

The Bobcats, who lost five in a row at the beginning, met the Hawks, who were temporarily tied for first place in the East, and had already lost five consecutive games in the opening game, Boss Joe didn't come to watch the game today, the newly built team was rotten, Boss Joe could think about it, and the goal of the Bobcats this season was to pick a high draft pick and choose an outside core.

With Okafor, the inside core, he plays much better than the champion show, and has Gerard Wallace, a swingman on the front line, young, talented and powerful, only 22 years old, the future is limitless, just one ball control core is missing, Breven Knight's data looks very good, but he is like the future Kendall Marshall, pure assist brush, dribbling for more than ten seconds, passing teammates to throw, of course, he can also pass good balls, but it takes too long to keep the ball, and he is seven or eight meters tall, and he has no defense at all, It's a good thing to put on a mess.

Old man Qiao knew that the team was rotten and had to be rotten, but he didn't want to see Liu Mang abuse his team, so he went to Los Angeles for a trip these days and discussed the deal with the Lakers by the way.

However, the Bobcats' title as a "strong team nemesis" began in their first year in the NBA!

As if the light was opened when they met the Eagles, the Bobcats were too accurate on the outside today!

When Blevin Knight, a guy who has played for more than seven years in his career and only made 34 three-pointers in total, and shot 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single game, the Bobcats all soared from the outside!

The Bobcats threw 27 three-pointers and made 14 of them!

On the Hawks' side, three-point shooting is normal, 9 of 24 shots, Liu Mang also scored 31 points, and Maddie scored 20 points and 8 assists, and his performance was quite normal.

But the Eagles were killed by the Bobcats just because they were performing normally!

Because the Hawks scored 102 points in the game in a normal performance, which is not bad or bad, but the Bobcats scored 114 points!

Okafor had 30 points and 11 boards, Gerald Wallace made 4 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 31 points on 11-of-20 shooting.

Okafor and Gerard Wallace both scored 30+ points, both setting new career highs......

It's not that the Eagles don't defend well, defense is about strategy, pinching efficient scorers, assisting defense efficient scorers, it is bound to leak people, and the choice of missing people is often the player with the most inaccurate long-range shooting on the other side.

But when Blevine Knight made 3-of-3 three-pointers, shot 5-of-8 from the field, scored 14 points, and all of them were mid-range shots, and also had 13 assists, the Bobcats' players who usually played countless irons were all on target.

There's no way to prevent this!

At the end of the game, Liu Mang saw Kobe Bryant sitting with Odom and Butler laughing!

This bastard! Liu Mang said that he didn't see this bastard, and he didn't invite him to dinner when he saw it...... Of course, if the little blacksmith treats him, that's a different story.

The Bobcats were miserable, and they certainly didn't have much strength in their first season in the league, so they were used as a record cash machine for other teams, and the league didn't even think about them for even a half, 19 back-to-back games in a single season...... However, there were two rest days of up to five days or more, and the schedule was unreasonable and unreasonable.

Like right now, the Bobcats have a back-to-back home game, playing the Hawks first and then the Lakers.

Not many of the fans at the scene came to see the Bobcats, but the stars of the Hawks and Lakers, but most of them were Charlotte natives, and of course they were happy to see the local team win, or win and tie for first place in the East!

In fact, the Bobcats were not the worst team of the season.

No, there's a team that's been here too, and it's even worse than them, with the Hornets coming off Game 7 this afternoon and they're on a seven-game losing streak......

And the Bobcats won today, leaving the Hornets in the bottom of the league.

After seeing that the Bobcats won a regular season game, Okafor took his teammates to celebrate, just like the Chinese New Year, Liu Mang was very depressed and couldn't get up.

I think they were the same back then, winning the Lakers and Spurs once, and they were all celebrating, thinking of Liu Mang at that time, he felt a little ashamed.

Forget it, it's going to lose after all, the team is a little impetuous after five consecutive wins, the side effect of the so-called strong mentality is like this, not only others, Liu Mang felt that he was a little careless after an easy five consecutive wins, seeing that it was the Bobcat team, he was still thinking about how to abuse the Bobcat in a fancy way, but he was caught off guard by the other party's outburst.

It's too light!

But fortunately, it was a loss to the bottom team in the league, and it was nothing.

Liu Mang and Maddie glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and returned to the locker room.

As soon as he opened the locker in the locker room, Liu Mang found that the mobile phone had just rang.

Liu Mang is very curious, who beat him?

The news of the loss got out so quickly? That's not right! There was no national broadcast of this game, and it seems that the Bobcats only had two live broadcasts of the opening game and the curtain call all season.

Liu Mang picked up the phone and looked at it, so he wanted to hang up directly.

It's Kobe!

Liu Mang has a very bad premonition, should he hang up?

After thinking about it, let's pick it up.

Liu Mang just connected, and before he could speak, there was a wild laugh on the other end of the phone: "Hahahahahaha...... Ace Liu, actually lost to the bottom of the league, hahahaha, it's really useless, it's still so useless to have so many helpers...... Hahaha...... Toot Toot Toot Toot ......"

Liu Mang was frightened by the crazy laughter, and he didn't have time to respond for a while, and just after reacting, the other party had already hung up the phone!

"This goddamn bastard, he actually calculated the time to call and laugh!"

……

……

At noon on the 8th, the Hawks returned to Atlanta, and after a four-game road streak, followed by five consecutive home games, the schedule was still very friendly to the Hawks, of course, only from November to January, and then it began to be difficult again.

Just after playing four consecutive away games, the Hawks returned to Atlanta for a day off, and tomorrow is the afternoon of the 9th, when they start a five-game home streak against the Nuggets on the 10th.

Liu Mang sent Maddie home first, then returned home, and took out the scouting report that the coaching staff had received by fax last night when he just returned to Atlanta, and looked at it briefly, and the opponents in the next five games started in it.

Nuggets, Hornets, Trail Blazers, Heat, Rockets.

The Heat and Rockets are No. 15 and No. 17, which is a difficult schedule in the second half of November.

However, except for the Nuggets, the first three games were relatively easy.

The game is played one by one, and the regular season is still long.

Liu Mang looked at the start of the entire league, almost all teams have played six to seven games, what is the situation of the teams in the league, and it can be seen that the teams that should be adjusted may have to be adjusted, and the transaction is also time to start considering.

After the Hawks lost to the Bobcats, their record became 5-1 and was outscored by the Pistons.

The Pistons started with a 7-game winning streak!

Liu Mang was shocked when he saw it! The new head coach of the Pistons, that's amazing!

Coach Philip Saunders, Liu Mang recalled that Larry Brown was fired a year early, and Coach Philip Saunders, who was idle at home, was called out by the Pistons a year early.

In the original history, in the 04-05 season, the Pistons only won 54 wins in the regular season, and Larry Brown was fired immediately after losing in the finals, if he hadn't won the championship in 04, he might have been fired at that time, and he had an extremely bad relationship with the players, and then Coach Philip Saunders took over the Pistons, and in the 05-06 season, he got the best 64 wins in the history of the Pistons, and it was also the second best record in the regular season after the new century at that time, except for the Lakers.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang feels that Philip Saunders is so powerful!

Look at the Timberwolves, under the leadership of McHale, they started the game 1-5.

can cultivate an iron-blooded tough guy, and can also lead a strong defensive team to play a good offense!

Liu Mang looked at the data of the Pistons at the beginning of this year, averaging 97 points per game and conceding 90 points per game, although the gap is a bit big with the average of 83 points per game last season, but the average defense of the league this year is declining, and the Pistons are already the second best team in the league at the beginning of the game, and the first best is the Spurs.

And in terms of scoring, the Pistons are at least in the middle of the league!

The Pistons, it's a bit awesome!

But...... Liu Mang saw that the Pistons team had become powerful and had a good coach, but he just couldn't look down on the Pistons...... It's that kind of self-confidence that can kill them......

The Hawks are second in the East with 5 wins and 1 loss, the Nets are third with 4 wins and 3 losses, and the Heat are fourth with 5 wins and 2 losses.

The Pacers are fifth at 5-2, the Bulls are sixth at 4-3, the 76ers are seventh at 3-3 and the Celtics are eighth at 3-3.

On the West side, if you only look at the second to eighth, they are the Spurs, the Hypersonics, the Mavericks, the Lakers, the Rockets, the Nuggets, and the Grizzlies, which are quite harmonious, but if you look at it, the third to last in the West is the Timberwolves, then hell!

First in the West, occupied by the Suns!

With a 6-1 start, it ranks first in the West!

"Nash is starting to take off! When will he be able to fight Nash, who became the Child of the Wind? I'm looking forward to it! Let me see...... Cut, it's next year, it's boring. Liu Mang dug out the player manual and looked at the schedule, there was no game against the Suns in 2004.

After learning about the opponent in the next few days, whether he is the No. 1 center in the East or the No. 1 center in the West or the No. 1 center in the league, let's take a ...... Just trap them to death!

There was no training in the afternoon, and Liu Mang was not idle, practicing shooting by himself, mainly the three-point shot of the right hand, and the three-point shooting ability of the right hand exceeded 90, which has become an obsession, but the more anxious he is, the more he has not made any special progress.

89 feels very sufficient, fans already regard Liu Mang as the first three-point player, after all, in the NBA now, except for Ray Allen, no one else has the ability to break through 90's three-point shots, and Ray Allen's shooting options are much more stable than Liu Mang's, relatively speaking, there are many fewer shots, Liu Mang waves more, and naturally more shots.

There are only two in the NBA that can reach Liu Mang's three-point shooting level, Peja's 89 and Ray Allen's 92.

However, the more anxious he was, the more he found that there was no progress, Liu Mang could only take his time, train step by step, and could only expect that he had trained enough, and he would naturally break through.

It's the idea of resigning yourself to your fate after a month or two, or, if you're lucky, you'll be rewarded for completing a set of 300 seconds and 100 threes or 200 seconds and 100 threes......

After Liu Mang finished training, he returned to his room and was just about to take a shower when the call came.

It's Maddie!

As soon as he picked it up, Liu Mang had an ominous premonition, and immediately pulled the phone away from his ears.

Sure enough, there was another loud shout on the other end of the phone: "Ace, Kobe Bryant was killed by the Bobcat!" ”

The Lakers were killed?

Liu Mang immediately asked excitedly and uncertainly: "Tracy, what you said is true?" ”

"Of course, Ace, you look at the Internet...... Eh...... I'm not done yet......"

Liu Mang couldn't hear the second half of the sentence, he threw away the phone and ran to it

The Lakers lost 115-116 to the Bobcats in three-overtime! Kobe Bryant made a key three-pointer with four seconds left in the third stance, but in the end he couldn't guard against Gerard Wallace, couldn't keep up, and was beaten by Gerard Wallace, who only scored 5 points in the first 50 minutes, for a layup!

Kobe Bryant's 32 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists did play very well, shooting 12 of 24 shots, and the combination of scoring and passing couldn't have been better, and he didn't even play much iron...... But Okafor had 23 points and 25 rebounds, and Brevin Knight had 21 points and 17 assists, and the two of them exploded, forcibly dragging the game to the third overtime, and then the key was to make a final kill!

Okafor has become one of the few players who can get double 20 in his rookie season, Howard was questioned how he could be selected with the first pick, and now he has 8 points and 8 boards, which is actually very good, but he can't stand Okafor's average of 16+13 per game at the beginning!

Liu Mang estimates that Mr. Joe must regret it very much, the team's consecutive victories against the Hawks and Lakers at the beginning, although they are all team explosions, mainly because Blevin Knight in the point guard position broke out too much, but he can have such a shining point in the team's first season, as the team is actually in control but has not seen it with his own eyes, he is absolutely depressed to death.

But this had nothing to do with Liu Mang, who immediately dialed the phone of a certain No. 8 player who flew from the West Coast to the East Coast to deliver warmth.

It rang for ten seconds, and it was estimated that after hesitating for a while, Liu Mang finally heard a "Hey......"

Without waiting for the other party to continue talking, Liu Mang immediately sprayed: "Hahahahaha...... you Kobe Bryant also has today?" Actually lost to the team that played back-to-back teams that were first from the bottom of the East and second from the bottom of the league, and without O'Neal, you can't do anything! ”

"Smack"

Hang up!
