505. The March War is over, the beast that is about to be released!

How does Laughing Mamba Brewer feel against Uchiha Harden?

Liu Mang understands now.

Why is Brewer, a star with a peak ability value of 79 who is only close to quasi-first-class, and not even the closest to quasi-first-class, and who is not even 80 ability, can cut down 50+ in a single game.

The effect of the defensive eyes is the same as the symbolic outstretched hand when the eyes are defensive with desperation.

Originally, after Liu Mang triggered the bench bandits, his ability value was the same as Arenas, which was 80, but when Arenas couldn't raise his fighting spirit when he saw Liu Mang, Liu Mang played like a superstar!

This kind of thing is not uncommon, for example, when Brewer scored 50 points, his ability value was only 79, and Harden was already a top star with an average of 25+5+6 per game at that time, but he was slashed by Brewer, an ordinary starter who had never scored 30+, 51 points.

Liu Mang's three-point shot was under no pressure, the opponent was sandwiched, Liu Mang broke through in the direction of Arenas, Arenas symbolically stopped, Liu Mang rushed into the inside, stirring up the Warriors' basket.

Brewer was the same before Harden became a real strong team player, Brewer left Harden out of sight in an instant, Liu Mang passed Arenas more easily than Brewer passed Harden, and even when the opponent was caught up, Arenas was like a big road at four o'clock in the morning, completely undefended, and Liu Mang suddenly passed.

Originally, the Hawks had just experienced two consecutive defeats, and four more generals had to take turns to rest, and the fans at the scene were a little depressed, the Warriors were not bad this year, and they were not such easy opponents to gnaw.

However, the game was one-sided from the start, and Liu Mang completely used the Warriors as an ATM.

When Liu Mang made a beautiful start in the face of Arenas, Arenas had no fighting spirit anymore, not only did the defense be rotten, but the offensive end was also made by Liu Mang's defense.

The Hawks' lineup of a major general who lacks soldiers actually started to play with the Warriors who were bursting with talent!

It's not just Arenas who has lost his fighting spirit, but the entire Warriors team can't afford to compete with the Hawks.

Just a week ago, after Liu Mang led the team to abuse the Warriors by 20 points in the first quarter, Jason Terry went up with the bench in the second and third quarters and almost abused the Warriors by 30 points!

The scenes of abuse are still vivid, how can the Warriors have the confidence to fight hard with the Hawks?

And Jason Terry is mainly playmaking offense when he plays the starter, and scoring is the second choice.

So, Liu Mang and Jason Terry were hearty in the backcourt, Liu Mang scored, Jason Terry passed, and the two led the Hawks all the way to press the Warriors to the end.

It's just that the Warriors don't have the fighting spirit, but the talent is there, and there are really people who can score, and the point difference has not been completely opened by more than ten points, so that Liu Mang and Jason Terry have been violent all the way to the end of the game.

In the end, the Hawks won 122-109 at home and easily won against the Warriors.

If you don't just look at the score, look at the process, you can completely describe the performance of the Eagles with a big win.

Liu Mang scored 52 points and 3 assists on 21-of-35 shooting, and Jason Terry assisted properly, scoring 18 points and 14 assists!

Eat, sleep, and fight warriors!

……

……

After the victory over the Warriors, the Hawks' tragic game month continues.

Immediately back-to-back to welcome the Hornets, who are firmly in fourth place in the East.

The Hornets are a good team, after sacrificing a season in Mashburn last season, this year's Mashburn full attendance, the return of the king, withstood the team's injury wave that started poorly, and when Baron Davis returned from injury, the Hornets were on the right track.

Originally, at the beginning of the season, when the Hawks were aiming for the regular season championship, the Hornets were the Hawks' hypothetical opponents in the second round.

Now, the Eagles ...... still treats the Hornets as an imaginary opponent in the second round, but they have become the side without home-court advantage, and they may not be able to reach the second round......

Prince was the first to return in today's game, adding the No. 1 outside pitcher to the Hawks, but the frontcourt was still a bit miserable, and both Raheem and Ratliff had to wait until the next back-to-back to return.

The Hornets finally seized the opportunity to take advantage of the Eagles' illness to take the Eagles' lives, and a group of people were emotional, catching the Eagles and beating them fat.

This year, Barang Davis' back-to-back play began to mature, and Liu Mang enjoyed a huge butt friction in this match.

It's really buggy!

Although Barang Davis's hand is really poor, with a maximum of two shots in five shots, it is full of lethality and many free throws, and Liu Mang really can't prevent it.

Prince's side is also choking enough to face Mashburn, the original Jordan successor, can shoot suddenly, the last year of the peak, and after last season's "sacrifice", this year actually played the best state in 7 years since the end of the rookie contract, Prince was abused and couldn't take care of himself.

Although the Hornets defense has become poor now, they can't stand up to their fierce offense, and the Hawks don't have a big center on the inside, and the defense is crushed.

In the end, the Hawks closed another loss at home, defeated by the Hornets 107-95.

……

It's all said that sooner or later it will have to be returned.

Just one day later, the Eagles traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana, in the Southwest Division next door.

Raheem and Ratliff are back!

and the Hornets took two charter flights, one before and one behind, and came to New Orleans one after another, and after a night's rest, the Hawks came to the New Orleans arena and caught the Hornets is a fat beating.

Raheem and Ratliff are back, the Hawks' frontcourt strength has surged, even if there is no Boozer, it is not PJ Brown and Magloyle, two pure blue-collar workers of about 10+8, can compete, the Hornets have had a wave in Atlanta two days ago, and this time they lost simply, seeing that the Hawks who were chasing over were eager to take revenge, the Hornets were beaten by the three Hawks who were about to collapse at halftime, and they did not struggle too much, and announced their surrender in the second half, which was quite decisive.

This year's Hornets have the same posture as the Rockets, and they are worthy of being teams in the Southwest Division, with the same characteristics.

The main reason is that the Hornets have no sense of belonging in New Orleans, the ball market is very poor, and the fans have no sense of identity with this team called the Hornets, because New Orleans is a seaside city, there are no Wasps, only a variety of seabirds, which is also the reason why the Hornets immediately changed their name after changing owners more than ten years later.

The Hawks lost the first game and won the second game comfortably, 99-85.

After playing against the Hornets, the Hawks flew another flight that night to Miami on the South Coast, less than an hour away.

For physical reasons, and to prepare for the playoffs with less than a month and a half to go, Ratlif didn't play in the second game of a back-to-back, and when the Hawks came to Miami to challenge the Heat, Latliff was suspended.

Miami changed head coaches this year, and Pat Riley really couldn't bear the torture of swinging, and Pat Riley really couldn't play bad, so he replaced his disciple Stan Van Gundy to take over the Heat.

Sure enough, after losing Pat Riley's iron-blooded field, the Heat players played easily and loosely, and their defense and record were a big step worse than last season, and they once ranked second to last in the East, "second to" the Cavaliers.

But "the good times didn't last long", Stan Van Gundy really had two brushes, in the case of Mourning being bought out because of surgery season reimbursement, Jim Jackson and Strickland both leaving, fighting, Stan Van Gundy really found some ways to coach the current team, with Eddie House as the core, rookie Caron Butler and veteran Brian Grant as the auxiliary, and also dug out this year's second-round pick of the season Rasol Butler from the bench, and won several games after the All-Star weekend, was successfully "overtaken" by the Raptors, and the record was improved to the third from the bottom in the East.

It was rumored in later generations that Stan Van Gundy would always make the wrong choice, fight for the record when it was time to put it in a bad position, and seeing that the team was about to take off, he actually traded the main player who played well back for a garbage contract that other teams didn't want, and forcibly put the team that made the playoffs out of the playoffs.

The Heat have been playing well in recent times, with 5 wins and 4 losses, which has given Pat Riley the heart to fire this disciple.

In the face of the Heat, who are sitting at home and in hot form recently, the Hawks performed very badly, feeling collectively cold, including the three Eaglets, the collective shooting rate was less than 40%, and they fell behind 33-53 at halftime.

How can this be fought?

There was no way, Coach Kruger played half the game, and simply asked Liu Mang to take a group of substitutes to brush up on the data and announce his surrender.

I can't win the game, Liu Mang is very sorry and unhappy, who will be happy if he loses?

So, Liu Mang hinted that he was wearing a No. 24 jersey, and in the case of a very poor feel, he dared to fight, and scored 10 goals in the second half with a 37% shooting rate, and made 12 of 32 shots in the whole game, relying on a large number of shots, and scored 31 points on 32 shots, which is so coquettish.

The Hawks also failed to pull the score back, and ended up losing 79-91 to the Heat in the second back-to-back game of the road.

……

After playing the Heat, the Hawks' record changed to 31-29.

Finally, the first point of March that can be considered a buffer period has arrived, with a day off on March 10, and the Eagles will only have three games for the next week, which is the easiest stretch of the March schedule.

On March 10, the day after playing the Heat, the Hawks did not return to Atlanta, but went to Orlando, the place where the kids wanted to play the most.

The penultimate game against the Magic is here again.

This time it was finally the Eagles' turn to get lucky!

Maddie went to Sacramento a few days ago and had a 30+ triple-double but lost.

Two days later, after the Magic returned to their home court, they played their second meeting of the season with the Kings at home, and Maddy went on a rampage again, scoring 44 points in the third quarter and leading the Kings by a large margin at home.

The Kings refused to surrender, and the Magic, of course, stayed with them to the end, winning one of the best teams in the league would definitely greatly boost their morale, Rivers thought so, and didn't pay attention to the fact that the Magic had an 86-68 lead of 18 points in the third quarter, and continued to send Maddy in the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Maddie forced the inside line and caused the Kings' backup small forward Bobby Jackson to foul, Maddie was also a little crazy, probably too familiar with someone, and was pulled by Bobby Jackson's sweaty hand, Maddie wiped his jersey in disgust, Bobby Jackson instantly became angry and came up to give Maddy a punch.

Then Maddie fought back, and the fight was called a hot one, and Bobby Jackson was pressed to the floor and smacked!

At this moment, Maddie seemed to be possessed by Oscar De La Hoya, and used De La Hoya's good at chasing the offense while winning, and after pressing Bobby Jackson to the ground and hitting, she didn't give Bobby Jackson a chance to fight back, and kept hitting until the players and referees of both teams came up and pulled them away.

Only then did people know that Maddie, who looked sleepy-eyed and had an expression that had nothing to do with him no matter what happened, actually had such a hot side.

Maddie was then suspended for three games.

This game happened to be the first game of Maddy's suspension, and the Hawks rarely picked up a bargain, facing the Magic who didn't even have Maddy, Boozer also returned at this time, and Coach Kruger asked Ratliff and Raheem to continue to rest the game, and the Magic team was unable to produce an effective struggle.

Originally, Coach Kruger asked Ratliff to play the Heat and let Boozer come back in this game just to deal with Maddie, who would have thought that Maddie would actually fight and be banned.

Easily, the Hawks comfortably won 101-77 in what could have been a very tight card battle, improving their record to 32-29.

……

……

The March schedule, after the Hawks beat the Magic, has played more than a third, and that's how the Hawks will be in March.

The schedule is tight and fatigue is affected, sometimes it is a big win, and sometimes even if the whole team is in order, it is not wanted by a team that is not so strong.

And it's not just the Hawks who have injuries and fatigue, but other teams too, and occasionally they have the unlucky Magic and win the game easily, and there are also those situations where the two teams play very anxiously and win or lose regretfully.

Fortunately, throughout March, except for the Celtics, Magic, Mavericks, Bucks, Hornets and other playoff powerhouses, most of the teams that are even a little stronger are only teams on the fringes of the playoffs.

But to the Hawks' embarrassment, they dared to win against the Mavericks, but they lost to the Bulls......

In addition to the embarrassment of losing to the Bulls, since the Hawks and Knicks all three games this season were in March, the first two times, the Hawks lost!

Lost to the Knicks twice at home!

On March 28th, after the Eagles played their last back-to-back games of the season, finally, the Eagles' devil's schedule was over!

In the first 28 days, the Hawks played a total of 17 games, with a 7-10 record and one game left in the month.

The Hawks' record has become 37-35, and they can play 18 games in a month and still maintain a 50% win rate, and the Hawks have lost 10 games this month, which still makes Hawks fans happy, at least in the playoffs!

And coincidentally, the final game of March, a game between the Hawks and the Knicks, will be played at Madison Square Garden.

On March 31, the final game of the month, the Hawks will travel to the mecca of basketball to take on the Knicks on the road.

After another back-to-back fourth loss to the Bulls on March 28, the Hawks players finally couldn't suppress their helplessness and anger when they saw the end of the first 28 days of the Devil's schedule.

That night, except for Liu Mang, who was specially sent home by Coach Kruger, everyone else went to a nightclub to get drunk overnight, and Coach Kruger did not interfere.

There is really no way in March, the schedule is so tight, some games are really helpless, it is useless to struggle, and because the schedule is so tight, in order to avoid the wave of injuries, there are all kinds of rotation adjustments...... At the same time, seeing that the situation is not so bad, and has maintained a winning rate of more than 50% to dominate the Magic team, Coach Krueger is consciously suppressing the team's state.

Because in addition to the tight schedule in March, most of the opponents are not strong, so you can rest for more rounds, and there is no need to increase the risk of injury in order to win those two or three more games.

It is true that if you go all out in some games, you can win two to three more games, but even if you win, it is only the difference from eighth in the East to seventh in the East.

Just as the Nets consciously dropped their ranking to second in the East, the Hawks also had to respond by consciously putting their ranking eighth, and no one wanted to meet the strongest opponent so early.

The Hawks do have a chance to improve their first 17 games from 7-10 to 9-8 or even 10-7, but there is no need, Coach Kruger would rather the players rest more than fight hard, there is only a month left in the playoffs, and if there is something unexpected, it will be too sad, and after working hard for a few months, he can't make an irrational choice for these two or three wins.

Thankfully, this difficult month has finally come to an end!

With only the No. 31 final game left to play the Knicks, Coach Krueger can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the All-Star Weekend, the Hawks have been in a high-pressure state, especially in March, the impact of fatigue has made Coach Kruger constantly rotate, and the state of many players has actually been depressed, except for Liu Mang, a steely man who has been playing iron to get high scores, including Jason Terry has not played two games.

Tired indeed!

The impact of this fatigue has led to the suppression of many players in the Eagles, because they have to take a break from play, and they have to find their form again after not playing in a few games after their comeback, and they have not been able to reach their best state.

But there are also benefits, and it is an unexpected good thing that the tight schedule does not pressure the players to play the playoffs early.

With only 10 games left in the playoffs and a relatively easy schedule, the Hawks' regular season finale is April 18.

It's time to release the beast that has been tormented by the schedule for more than two months!

So Coach Kruger, after playing the Bulls, let the players go crazy in a nightclub, and then in the last 10 games, play the feeling of the playoffs!

After the first game of madness, hit the Knicks!

Refuse to be swept by the Knicks!
