California's three-game away streak is the only absence of the Lakers, mainly because the game between the Hawks and the Lakers is the focus of the battle, which is put on January 1.

The Hawks' three opponents on their trip to California are the Clippers, Warriors, and Kings, and overall it is relatively easy, and the Clippers have only won once a few days ago, and the Warriors are about the same if they can't beat them.

The Kings are in civil turmoil, they signed Bunch Wells with a one-year, $3 million contract in the summer, Bunch Wells signed a one-year contract, played very well, even better than Peja, unwilling to play the bench prickly stick once again affected the team's unity, the Kings are now only 11-14.

The Eagles coaching staff felt that as long as they didn't underestimate the enemy and weren't careless, a 20-game winning streak wouldn't have a chance.

The Eagles players did the same, and after playing for a day on the 8th, the 9th consciously went to the indoor court chartered by the hotel where the team stayed for training and 3v3 games when the team did not have a training day.

Liu Mang is more concerned about the opponent of the Lakers in the first game next month.

For Liu Mang, there are actually only three teams he has focused on this season.

And, there is no Spurs, the top two teams in the West that people think are in the first league in the West.

Duncan will struggle this season...... Of course, compared to his own performance in the past few years, compared with others, he is still so strong, Liu Mang remembers that Duncan will play the worst performance in the first ten years of his career this season, two teams and two defenses, from the current situation, Duncan's plantar fasciitis, which made Duncan start his second transformation, is still here.

For the Spurs' playoffs, Duncan's decline has not yet reached the point where this transformation is successful, and the playoff strength will plummet.

For Liu Mang this season, the most important opponent is naturally the Heat in the East, who are the biggest enemy who has stopped the Hawks from the Finals for three consecutive years.

The second is the Mavericks, although Crawford has a gap with Jason Terry, but it is very suitable for the Mavericks, when Crawford's spirit was smoothed out and honestly went to play on the bench, the Mavericks became the second strongest team in the West, and because the league canceled the first division must be the top three, the Mavericks ranked second in the West, beating the Suns.

Another opponent is the Lakers, who are currently ranked fifth in the West.

With a 16-7 record, the Lakers had an excellent record until the Hawks came to Los Angeles.

The Heat and the Mavericks are both known to be strong by Liu Mang, and the Lakers are here in Liu Mang, which is an X factor, Yao Ming insisted on coming to Los Angeles to play, forming a "drug combination" jokingly called by domestic fans, which was indeed beyond Liu Mang's expectations, Liu Mang thought that even if Yao Ming was leaving, it would be a matter of 06 years, at that time, the Rockets were really unable to stop it, as long as Yao Ming refused the Rockets contract to accept the qualification offer, the Rockets didn't even have the opportunity to trade him, Yao Ming had to go, the Rockets could only be the same as the Nets, Select Sign before you exchange.

I didn't expect Yao Ming to be in such a hurry, he couldn't wait for a year, and he arrived at the Lakers this season.

Yao Ming played an average of 32 minutes per game this season and averaged 23 points and 11 boards per game, and the scoring improvement was not as explosive as the improvement of Yao Ming's data this season in Liu Mang's memory, Yao Ming was originally in the Rockets, even if there was Maddie, he also averaged 25 points and 10 boards per game, and when he came to the Lakers, his average points per game only increased to 23 points, but he made a double for the first time in his rebounding career, and it reached 11, In addition, there are 3 assists and 2.2 blocks, and the main thing is that the playing time is well controlled, the first three quarters are Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming plays six or seven minutes per quarter, scores three to five points, and fights again in the final quarter.

Kobe Bryant averaged 34 points, 5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and his performance was so strong that he exploded after losing weight.

Odom averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and Wang Zhizhi averaged 9.5 points per game, but averaged two three-pointers per game.

There is also Luke Wharton, who shined after the return of the Zen master and opened the road of deceiving the Lakers for 6 years of full middle class, although Luke Wharton was really bad in the last few years of the contract, but before he got the contract, he was really powerful, playing as a starting small forward this season averaged 6 points, 3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and in the Zen master's triangle offensive system, Luke Wharton performed well.

The Lakers' role player lineup is average, but the effect is good, Kobe Bryant shoots a lot, but he doesn't stick to the ball.

One of Kobe's characteristics is that no matter who it is, as long as this player is not particularly mismatched and comes to him when his strength is okay, he can play almost the best performance of his career.

Liu Mang admires Kobe's "ultimate championship puzzle", which is a single function compared to other superstars, and it also allows Kobe to partner with almost all stars.

Such a Lakers team, although the role player lineup is not rich enough, but Kobe Bryant, who can play a 3-1 lead with the Suns alone with Odom, has Yao Ming, which gives Liu Mang a great sense of threat.

This sense of threat...... Liu Mang felt a little excited.

……

"Mangzi, Kobe Bryant is very powerful, you have to pay attention to this opponent, it may be one of your strongest opponents in the future."

"Dad! I said, don't call me a reckless! How ugly! ”

"Mangzi, this is your father's name that I have chosen for thousands of years, and you actually dislike it!"

"Dad, how did I hear the neighbor say that you gave me this name when you got drunk?"

"Ahem, Mangzi, look, the players are in, let's watch the game."

“……”

This topic shifts, it's too blunt!

For his father's said that Kobe Bryant is one of the strongest opponents in the future, Liu Mang feels that he is right, it is estimated that before the "drug combination" is old, Liu Mang will be the strongest opponent in the next 5 to 7 years, the strongest opponent is the Lakers, there is no one, and after the Lakers have played a good performance this season and dispelled the doubts of some second, third and even first-tier stars who want to "choose the most difficult road", the Lakers will be the first person in the league in the original 05-07 two seasons, and many role players will come to join Kobe Bryant.

Today's game is the Lakers' away game against the Clippers, and it's actually the Lakers going to use the visiting team's locker room.

As for the atmosphere of the scene...... Liu Mang didn't see that this was the home court of the Clippers.

More than half of the fans wore Kobe's No. 8 and Yao Ming's No. 11, and some fans wore the Clippers' No. 7 and the Lakers' No. 7, both of which are Odom's.

The Staples Center is the most special NBA home court, the home of other teams, even if the arena is not their own, or even if they usually rent it out for concerts or something, such as the Eagles' Phillips Arena, but the home team's locker room is only for their own teams.

The Lakers are different from the Clippers, they have to take everything with them after every game, giving rookies more workload.

Liu Mang watched the Lakers cheer as an away team, the Clippers players were booed when they played at home, and felt silent for the Clippers, Liu Mang said that it was his fault, if he hadn't forced Yao Ming to join the Lakers early, this season should have been the most glorious year for the Clippers, they could have reached the second round of the playoffs and steal the limelight for a short time, but now even if they reach the second round, they can't steal any limelight from the Lakers.

Liu Mang felt that it was not right for him to be too good, and he actually caused trouble to others.

On the afternoon of the 9th, after Liu Mang finished training at his villa, he took Dinah, Levia, Alexia and his father to the Staples Center to watch the game.

Although Liu Mang's mother also pays attention to the Hawks, she does not pay as much attention to the NBA as Liu Mang's father, his mother only cares about her son's games, and Liu Mang will not watch them if he does not play.

Liu Mang's father has really become a fan.

Since Liu Mang's father is here, and the baby is not brought, it is natural to sit in the front row to watch the game.

When the owner of the Clippers received a call from Schwartz, he reluctantly took five sideline tickets and gave them to Liu Mang.

The players of the two teams entered, and Liu Mang also attracted a lot of cameras today, patted the little Lori, and took the little Lori to the field to greet the bigwigs of the two teams.

This is the first time Liu Mang has watched a live game in addition to watching the Eagles live in college, and it feels quite special.

"Kobe, come on!" Liu Mang took the initiative to go up and stretch out his hand to greet Kobe.

Kobe ignored Liu Mang, came to the little Lori next to Liu Mang, and high-fived the little Lori: "Dinah, you came to watch me play, I will definitely play well today." ”

"Come on, Uncle Bryant!" Little Lori accepted the gift, was very enthusiastic about Kobe, and high-fived Kobe.

Liu Mang stretched out his hand beside him, and the smile on his face froze......

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi went to greet Liu Mang's father, but no one relieved his embarrassment.

Seeing Kobe Bryant turn around and leave, Xiao Lori's arm was still extended, Liu Mang turned around wittily and slapped Xiao Lori's palm, and then covered his chest, feeling sorry for himself......

Players from the Lakers and Clippers all came over to high-five or hug Liu Mang, except for Yao Ming and Kobe, the live camera has also been given here.

The last hug was Kassel, one of Liu Mang's teammates he thought of most in the summer was Kassel, and the team also had a middle-class exception to use at that time, but Kassel's 3-year contract of 24 million was unaffordable for the Eagles.

Cassel is really good, coming to the Clippers to quickly save the Clippers from a mess, and now the Clippers are sixth in the West, and Los Angeles is a two-playoffs team.

"Sam, come on, take out the Lakers!" Liu Mang strongly encouraged.

Cassel smiled happily, Liu Mang is one of the few people in the NBA who does not alienate him because of his appearance, and he is quite enthusiastic every time.

However, Cassel is very sad, their team was not considered a strong team before the season, the schedule is poor, today to play the Lakers, tomorrow to play the Hawks......

Los Angeles Derby,. Both T and Time Warner broadcast the game live across the United States, as did Imperial Television.

When Liu Mang returned to the audience after saying hello, he was stopped.

Liu Mang looked at the person who came down, this face ...... It's a little cooked.

"Ace, I'm Yang Yi from CCTV Sports Channel, we broadcast this game live today, can you explain this game with us?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

"Uh...... Of course, you wait, I'll talk to my dad. ”

……

Commentary!

Or explain the Lakers game in front of the Chinese people! Liu Mang immediately agreed, and greeted his father and the girl, and Liu Mang followed Yang Yi to the commentary seat behind the left side of the body surgery table opposite their seats.

There were too many commentators here before, and Liu Mang didn't tell others that he was going to watch the game, so the court didn't know that he was coming, and when he saw Liu Mang greeting the players of the two teams, the camera was given to Liu Mang all the way, and after Liu Mang finished greeting, he immediately asked Yang Yi, one of the commentators, to come over and invite Liu Mang.

Liu Mang arrived at the commentary seat of the imperial court platform and saw that Director Zhang, an old friend who claimed to be a Zen secret, had already gotten up.

"Coach Zhang, we meet again, will you broadcast tomorrow's game live?" Liu Mang went up and shook hands with Director Zhang.

"Haha, of course, I'm your fan and a fan of the Zen master, I broadcast the Zen master's game, and of course I will broadcast the live broadcast of you and the Clippers tomorrow." Director Zhang said with a smile.

It happened to be Saturday and Sunday, and it was a game between the Lakers and the Hawks, and a game between Yao Ming and Liu Mang.

"Zen master fans...... It seems that Director Zhang is the same as me, you just don't like Kobe, right? Liu Mang teased.

"Ahem, let's analyze this game, Ace, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Coach Zhang decisively changed the topic.

"Clippers." Liu Mang replied immediately.

"Oh? Ace, don't you think the Lakers are stronger? Yang Yi interjected.

Liu Mang glanced at Yang Yi, this guy just loves to steal the limelight so much.

"I think the Clippers have a better chance, Kobe Bryant is too lonely to play and doesn't know how to pass the ball to Da Yao, just like when he partnered with O'Neal, such a good center, plus the second best scoring guard in the West, is actually only the fifth in the West." Liu Mang is very serious in 'analyzing'.

Director Zhang was speechless when he heard Liu Mang's 'analysis'.

But the famous Mr. Kehei Yang Yi feels that the hero sees the same thing: "Ace, I think the same as you, Kobe Bryant is actually not a scoring guard, he is more like a small forward, Da Yao's playing time is too little, and the number of shots is not as much as that of the Rockets, and I think there is a big problem with the coaching of the Zen master." ”

Director Zhang can't listen to it anymore, this is dead black!

Director Zhang asked, "Ace, Teacher Yang Yi, who do you think is the best scoring guard?" ”

Director Zhang used the title of 'Teacher Yang', Yang Yi didn't say anything politely, and replied directly: "I think Ray Allen is the best scoring guard, if Ace is a scoring guard, it is Ace, but Ace, you seem to have started to focus on passing this year, so it's Ray Allen." ”

"yes, Ray Allen is the best shooting guard in the league." Liu Mang echoed.

Director Zhang looked at Yang Yi's eyes and was no longer so kind of greeting the juniors, ignored him, and asked Liu Mang: "Ace, what do you think Kobe and Da Yao will do today?" ”

"Da Yao's performance has been stable, Kobe's words ...... Maybe another 17-of-47 shooting. ”
