After All-Star Weekend, the league was buzzing.

Can the playoff battles, ranking card battles, and the Hawks break the all-time record of 72 wins...... and so on, so that the second half of the season is full of suspense.

There is also Liu Mang's speech in the All-Star Game that ridiculed Kobe, and the stimulation given to Kobe Bryant after O'Neal and Maddie won the All-Star MVP, so that fans and media are looking forward to the next games this year.

The bosses of some of the teams competing for playoff spots expressed their own strength and the strength of their own teams in an interview, and the East is okay, except for the Hawks, Heat, Pistons, 76ers, Cavaliers, and Nets The playoff position is relatively stable, and the remaining two playoff spots are the Bulls, Pacers, and Wizards.

The main focus is on the playoff race in the Wild West, after the All-Star Weekend, there are still 30 games to be played by the teams, and from the end of the All-Star Weekend, most teams are officially in a white-hot state of fighting for rankings and playoff spots.

Liu Mang found that his own team has become the only team this year, and there is no team competing with them in the regular season......

……

On the morning of the 19th, Liu Mang trained for a while, and at 10 o'clock, the Eagles held a team meeting and made targeted arrangements for the next five games, the layout was relatively simple, and the next training time was not so much, so it was mainly to introduce the current situation of the opponents in the next five games, as well as the general style of play, and the specific tactical plan was made after the team meeting on the morning of the game with each team.

At the beginning of January, the Eagles players were still a little unaccustomed to it, and compared to the leisurely preparation for games in November and December, the three-month schedule was a headache, but the headache was painful, and they got used to it......

On the 20th, the Hawks had their first home game since All-Star Weekend, hosting the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings are gradually moving away from the playoffs, due to the impact of Liu Mang, the Kings did not swap Peja and Artest, this season the Kings management has not thought about winning the championship, Peja is now playing very frustrated, even more depressed after the All-Star weekend, he signed a 6-year 72 million contract extension in December 04, this season is only the first year, but he no longer wants to play for the Kings.

In the first game back for All-Star weekend, the Hawks rested Rasheed Wallace on the inside and Maddy on the outside.

But even so, the Hawks easily defeated the Kings, Liu Mang played 37 minutes, 7 of 14 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and got 24 points, 6 boards, 14 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

The Kings are completely defenseless, just throwing around from the outside, and they now only have three points to talk about.

Under Liu Mang's passing strategy, the young Eagles played very well, scoring when they cut and had a three-point chance when they run, and they played very easily.

117-104, with the Hawks sending Calderon, Barry, Horry, David Lee, and Mourning in the final quarter, they still won by 13 points.

12 consecutive wins are easy to hold.

But then there was a lot of trouble, the morning after playing the Kings, Liu Mang left Atlanta with the team, and started two consecutive visits in the East, playing the Bucks and Pistons on the 22nd and 24th.

Playing the Bucks encountered some trouble, after the first three quarters, the Hawks still trailed by 6 points, but relying on Liu Mang's 14 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, Jason Terry hit two key points to overtake the score and expand to a five-point advantage of three points, the Hawks finally beat the Bucks 97-94 to get 13 consecutive wins.

In this game, Liu Mang scored 41 points and won the fifth 40+ of the season, helping the team to win, with fewer assists, teammates did not feel good today, Maddie rested for two consecutive games, and Liu Mang was a little uncomfortable.

It was a tough game against the Bucks, who were temporarily ranked 10th in the East, but the Pistons, who were third in the East, played next and played, Rasheed Wallace had 22 points and 6 boards, made three three-pointers, and dunked twice.

Ben Wallace's defense under the basket did decline badly, but it was okay at the beginning of the season, but the later it went, the more serious the decline became, and there was already the feeling of collapse after going to the Bulls in the 06-07 season to get a 10 million contract.

Liu Mang had 14 points, 15 assists and 3 rebounds, Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown both scored 20+, the returning Maddie also scored 21 points, and the Hawks scored 20 points to beat the Pistons 101-80 and won 14 in a row.

The opponent in the east is easy to deal with, which is expected by Liu Mang.

Not many people are surprised that the Eagles became the first team in the league to win 50 games for the third year in a row, and fans and media would have been surprised if the Eagles hadn't won 50 quickly.

But after these two games, the really difficult schedule begins!

On Feb. 26, the Hawks came to Dallas to take on the Mavericks on the road.

The 14-game winning streak was ended in this game, and the Mavericks showed a little more frenzy, and Maddy, who has always defended Novitzki, who has always defended well, did not stop Nowitzki's terrible mid-range shot this time, and Nowitzki scored 16 points on 8-of-12 mid-range shots, forcing the Hawks to wrap up, neither Josh Smith nor Maddie could defend it.

Although Liu Mang got 33 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, the Mavericks played too well, scoring 115 points in the whole game, and the Hawks only scored 109 points.

……

Losing to the Mavericks, the Hawks suddenly suffered their first loss after the All-Star weekend, and there was no time for Liu Mang to be depressed, and the next morning after playing the Mavericks, Liu Mang flew to Denver with the team, and on the 28th, tomorrow, he will usher in the last game of February, challenging the Denver Nuggets away.

When Liu Mang arrived in Denver and saw the news, he realized that he was about to usher in a small milestone.

From November 28, 2003 to Liu Mang's game with the Mavericks yesterday, Liu Mang has played 199 games in a row, and the next game against the Nuggets is a small milestone for Liu Mang to not miss 200 consecutive regular season games!

Originally, playing the Nuggets, Liu Mang was very motivated, Anthony beat him once, and he is still impressed!

Liu Mang said that he was definitely not cautious, but the other four of the top five picks in the 03 generation did not win against him...... I did it once while he was unprepared!
