699. The top five in the West are coming!

Every time he looks at the team's lineup list, Liu Mang feels that the world is full of malice towards him!

Obviously, he is the youngest in the team, but he has to bear the beauty and talent that he should not have at this age...... No, it's responsibility and responsibility.

However, this feeling of leading the team fascinated him, and he became the soul of the team unconsciously, and Liu Mang felt that this feeling was still great.

After the loss to the Pacers and the end of the 15-game winning streak, the slightly impetuous hearts of the Hawks players and coaching staff also settled.

On the morning of the second day after playing the Pacers, the coaching staff called all the players together, held a team meeting in the morning, studied the specific arrangements for the rotation, and finally began the real rotational battle, the thunderous rotation strategy.

On March 14, the Hawks continued their back-to-back home games with the Bulls for their final meeting of the season.

Liu Mang will definitely not take turns off, whether it is for MVP, or for the scoring champion, and to ensure that the team's strength has a bottom line, Liu Mang, the team's most physical player, will not take turns off.

The Bulls are still messing up this year, Hinrich is very good, so that the Bulls finally have a core combination around the team, Hinrich plus Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler's trio, so the Bulls feel full of hope, so send away the magic Jalen Rose, who averages 20+5+5 per game, and now there is no such thing as a requirement that it must be rotten to be thorough, they have their own draft picks and Raptors' draft picks, and they have clear draft goals, so while rotting, try their best to win.

It's just that after Jalen Rose and Don Yell Marshall were traded, they really couldn't win the game, and the bad strategy was obviously much better than in previous years, and they could go all out to win, but they just couldn't win.

In this game, the Eagles sent Liu Mang, Korver, Prince, Boozer, and Ratledge lineup.

The Bulls fielded a lineup of Hinrich, Kinnaro Pugo, a draft pick in '02 who won a championship with the Lakers in his rookie year, Pippen, who signed a contract to retire at the end of the season, and interior twin towers Tyson Chandler and Eddie Curry.

The Bulls' lineup is really hard under the leadership of coach Scott Skels.

But fighting does not mean that there is combat effectiveness.

Liu Mang started the end-of-season hurricane mode, Raheem and Rashid Wallace did not play, and Liu Mang took on a heavier task, so he went all out in individual offense and single defense, and in Boozer's blocking and dismantling offense, there were more individual offensive options.

Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler, the two of them are too crowded under the basket, Liu Mang only needs to rush in and squeeze together to defend, nine times out of ten it is a foul, Tyson Chandler is not the best defensive player in the future, and now the defense is so rough that he doesn't want to, he flies in a flash, and the standard physical fitness of a man is a performance.

Hinrich's single-defense outside shooting is still very good, and as the season deepens, he becomes more and more adaptable to the NBA, and his defense against Liu Mang is very good, but the Bulls' defense is a lot worse, whether it is Eddie Curry or Chandler coming out, the effect of preventing Liu Mang's blocking and dismantling is not good, and Liu Mang has been repeatedly sent to the free throw line.

The defense on the Bulls' side is all single defense, which is a common phenomenon of bad teams, and the defense has almost no cooperation, and they all defend themselves.

And the Bulls' offense, except for Hinrich's through balls that occasionally provide assists to teammates who run out of position, the rest are basically singles, Kinnaro Pargo's singles, Eddie Curry's singles, and Hinrich's occasional singles and iron.

The Eagles easily took the lead and held it until the end.

In the end, the Hawks beat the Bulls 105-92, Liu Mang shot 7 of 17, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 14 of 17 free throws, scoring 32 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, helping the team avoid consecutive defeats.

……

After beating the Bulls, the Hawks had a day of rest before heading into the game against the Trail Blazers.

In this game, Rashid Wallace is back.

Playing the old club, Rashid Wallace naturally wants to let the old club see how well he is doing.

The Trail Blazers are indeed not bad this year, Damon Stoudemire, Derrick Anderson, Antoine Walker, Zach Randolph, Dale Davis The lineup is really good, after getting Antoine Walker, in the middle of the season, the Trail Blazers sent away Bunch Wells, who has been clamoring for a bigger contract, and now they are playing really well, ranking ninth and tenth in the West, and the Warriors are expected to hit 40 wins and compete for the lottery championship.

In this match, Antoine Walker and Zach Randolph are both clamoring to make Liu Mang and Rashid Wallace look good.

But the Hawks chose to ignore it, and the lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Barnes, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown went up to a violent defense.

If the defense was in the form of a meat grinder when Raheem and Ratliff were there, Barnes and Kwame Brown went up, it was a slap in the body.

Randolph has always been known for his strong body, and the stocky little fat man always slams his body to the basket and scores with nimble feet and soft touch.

However, he met Kwame Brown, who had just scored a beep, and Kwame Brown's accurate block on the basket gave Randolph three big hats in the first quarter, forcing Randolph to go to the mid-range shot.

As one of the few players in the league who average 20+10 per game, Randolph's efficiency is quite outrageous, and he is the least efficient player among all the players in the league who average 20+ points per game or rebounds double-double, with an efficiency value of only 17, which is a little higher than the average efficiency value of 15, and other players who average 20+ players per game or rebounding double-doubles this season have all exceeded 20.

The Eagles' defensive intent is clear, blocking other people's shooting space, forcing Randolph to single Kwame Brown, when Randolph pulls to the mid-range shot, Kwame Brown doesn't defend very well, but Randolph's own offensive efficiency is not high, and the mid-range shot can hit one out of three shots under Kwame Brown's defense.

The Trail Blazers can only count on Randolph to play singles, Antoine Walker, who doesn't like physical contact, meets Barnes as if he has a habit of cleanliness and dodges and runs, Damon Stoudemire is deflated when he meets Liu Mang at the speed he relies on to survive, Derrick Anderson is also deflated when he meets Prince, and Dale Davis ...... Rasheed Wallace can also help Kwame Brown force Zach Randolph to shoot in the middle of the pitch while helping Kwame Brown.

The Hawks did a good job on the defensive end, and the offensive end was also very stable, Liu Mang either shot or passed, and played quite freely in the face of the Trail Blazers, who were almost only offensive, playing 39 minutes, 9 of 15 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and 25 points and 13 assists.

Mainly, Rashid Wallace is active today! On the defensive end, he made up for the defense everywhere, and on the offensive end, he actively cut into the holes in the Trail Blazers' defense, and he was also very decisive in receiving the ball at three points, adding a lot of assists to Liu Mang, and at the same time, he also scored a game-high score of 30 points plus 15 rebounds, and his performance was quite good.

In the end, relying on Rashid Wallace's 30 points, 15 boards, 3 blocks, 2 steals and 2 assists, coupled with Liu Mang's 25 points, 13 assists, 3 rebounds and 4 steals, he did a good job at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, helping the Hawks sweep the Trail Blazers 112-87 in the regular season and win two consecutive wins.

……

……

March 15, the Eagles' day off.

Yesterday at four o'clock in the afternoon and the Trailblazers game, the game started early, ended early, Liu Mang went home to rest early, so this morning got up early, two sets of training, warm-up with a person in the absence of the ball for personal simulation running training, to five o'clock, a series of shooting training.

It may be that the weather is starting to get hot and humid, and at six o'clock, a cute little Lori came out to help Liu Mang pick up the ball.

After practicing to seven o'clock, Liu Mang's physical strength was almost consumed, and he took a physical energy potion, and the training was over.

"Dinah is the best! So early to help my uncle train! After training, Liu Mang ignored the sweat and dust on his body, and ate tofu with a cute little Lori.

"Ah...... Uncle is too good! Then Dinah struggled to escape.

"Dinah is too much! I actually dislike your uncle and me! ”

"Uncle, go take a bath! It's so dirty! Dinah is also going to take a shower! It's all to blame on the uncle, Dinah didn't sweat originally, but now it's all the uncle's stinky sweat! ”

Looking at the little Lori who is not allowed to eat tofu anymore and is almost one meter four tall, Liu Mang feels that there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to eat tofu in the future......

After cleaning up the balls on the ground and putting them back in the ball frame, carrying them back to the warehouse, Liu Mang returned to the room to take a shower and prepare breakfast for the girls at home.

After taking a bath, Xiao Lori came to the kitchen to help Liu Mang.

"Dinah, aren't you going to sleep anymore?" Liu Mang asked when he saw Dina who came to help.

"Dinah has to learn how to make breakfast, too! Later, when Dinah learns it, Dinah will be able to make breakfast for her uncle! Little Lori's eyes sparkled with hope.

"......" Liu Mang thought of Levia's magical ability to cook, and felt as if something terrible was about to happen, and immediately said: "Dinah, it's still not necessary, the beautiful little girl should sleep well, uncle just do it, go sleep for a while!" ”

"Nope! Dinah wants to learn! ”

“……”

Liu Mang couldn't resist it, so he let Xiao Lori follow along.

Thereupon...... In the kitchen, the process of making breakfast began with chickens and dogs......

……

At eight o'clock, Levia and Alexia came down for breakfast, looking at the embarrassed Liu Mang, and the little Lori with a satisfied face, as well as the kitchen that didn't know why there was black smoke, and all kinds of black food on the table except for vegetable salad, which were mostly "unidentified", they probably understood something.

"Ace, what is this?" Levia swallowed, not the gluttonous kind, but confused, this bunch of things, is their breakfast?

"This is Dinah's breakfast of love, you eat, I'll take a shower." Liu Mang looked at the pile of food and immediately fled.

Levia and Alexia looked at Dinah with an expectant look on her face and wanted to run away, but it was too late!

Looking at the back of Liu Mang escaping, Levia and Alexia said that they didn't want to enter their room tonight!

……

……

After returning to the room, Liu Mang took a shower again, his whole body was full of oil smoke, and he could make a breakfast to make a whole body of oil smoke, Liu Mang felt that Dina was also a talent, and completely inherited her mother's beauty and cooking skills.

After taking a shower, Liu Mang felt that making breakfast this time was more tiring than training for three hours in the morning!

Soaking in the bathtub, Liu Mang flipped through the team manual.

This team handbook is a scouting report based on the Eagles' rest schedule and schedule and the remaining games after the rest of the schedule has been finalized.

At this time, the strength of the league's teams has already been thoroughly studied, except for the short-term performance scouting report is sent to the players during the pre-game preparation, the regular scouting report is enough.

There are 15 games left! Counting up, the remaining time of the regular season is exactly one month, that is, 31 days.

There are five games left in this month, and the Bulls and Trail Blazers played in the previous three days are just appetizers before the big game, and soon, the most difficult schedule is coming, first the Kings, then the Mavericks!

The Kings had a miserable period of time when Webb first came back, and was thrown away by the top three teams in the West, and now they can only compete with the Mavericks and Rockets for the fourth position in the West, and the situation was not particularly optimistic for a while.

However, with the run-in of more than a dozen games, Webber has reintegrated into the team, although the strength of the Kings has declined a lot compared to two years ago and even last season, but it is still the top team in the league, but it does not have the strength of the OK combination that can kill the peak tail two years ago, but it is still not to be underestimated.

Recently, the Kings won three in a row, improving their record to 45-22 and stabilizing the fourth position in the West.

The next game against the Kings will be very difficult, especially the Hawks' current rotation plan, which will not change because of the strength of the opponent, Coach Kruger's goal is to play the weak team to win with all his might, and to play the strategy of winning if the strong team can win, just guarantee 68 wins, and will not break the rotation strategy in order to beat the strong team.

Therefore, Liu Mang felt the most stressful schedule this season, as the only player who did not have to rotate, Liu Mang's pressure was undoubtedly the biggest on the Eagles.

This is the team's trust in him, so Liu Mang has to work harder.

In this regard, Coach Kruger, who had gotten together to talk about the playoffs, and Coach Price asked if there was any overtime pay, and Coach Price had a headache, and Coach Kruger directly told Liu Mang to get out......

Looking at the lineup that can play for tomorrow's game, Prince and Rasheed Wallace are resting in turn, and it's really a troublesome situation, with five players on the other side all capable of scoring...... Let's take it one step at a time!

Liu Mang studied the scouting report and his own lineup, and found that the lineup was uneven, and the opponent was strong, so he really couldn't find any particularly good strategy for it, so he simply didn't look at it and talked about it when it was time for the game.

Opening the system panel, Liu Mang first looked at the superstar value and rogue value.

After the last few games, the superstar value has risen to 44117 points, more than 2,000 points per game, which is not bad, and when it comes to the playoffs, Liu Mang is estimated to have 70,000 points, plus some rewards, 100,000 points are estimated to have, and the auxiliary guarantee of the playoffs is steadily accumulating.

There are still some physical fitness medicines, so I am not in a hurry to replenish them, anyway, the data and victories of each game are relatively guaranteed now, and there is no shortage of them.

The hooligans are worth more than 69.12 million points, and there is still a difference of 30 million, when the honors of MVP, scoring champion, and the first record in the new century are obtained, Liu Mang feels that he can rise like crazy, plus the playoffs, if he can reach the finals, Liu Mang feels almost stable!

Then Liu Mang cut to the main panel and looked at the statistics of personal ability evaluation.

Ability evaluation 86, three points have deepened with the season to 88, relying on their own training, reached the highest three-point attribute under the addition of the bench bandits, the next thing is to break through this attribute, Liu Mang's goal is to have a chance to break through 90 in the summer, become the strongest three-point player in the league, the only three-point ability evaluation among the active players to break through 90, only Ray Allen, Peja 89, Reggie Miller 87, Liu Mang has ranked third.

At this stage, the three-point evaluation of more than 80 is already the top three-pointer, and there are only a few people with a three-point evaluation above 85, and it is already a super top three-pointer, but the three-point evaluation of Thompson who has only used the 15-16 version of the Splash Brothers is as high as 95, and the three-point ability of Curry, Thompson, and Durant of the universe combination after that, is Liu Mang's ultimate goal.

The strength of other mid-range shots and layups is also steadily improving, training is the foundation of polishing, and the official game is an opportunity to turn the polished ability into a real ability in the game, as the season is coming to an end, Liu Mang's strength from last summer's hard work has also been fully integrated into the game.

After looking at the task and star card, Liu Mang saw that he already had Iverson's peak star card and the random star card of the strongest point guard in all eras, as well as a task that could get Kobe's star card this season, Liu Mang thought of the last game at the end of the month to play a little blacksmith, and he still felt a little impatient!

After sorting out the goals for the next season, looking at the tasks and personal attributes, Liu Mang sank his heart.

The season is coming to an end, the last month is the playoffs, and now we have to approach the next games with a playoff mentality as much as possible!

Prepare for the playoffs!

……

After taking a shower, Liu Mang secretly went to the restaurant to take a peek, Dina had already gone to school with Alexia, Levia had been busy recently, and the speculators started the house flipping business again at this time.

Liu Mang saw that the pile of food that he didn't know if he would die after eating it finally didn't have to eat, he breathed a sigh of relief, drove to the stadium, went to the stadium to buy a hamburger to nibble, and continued to train.

When Liu Mang arrived at the stadium, there were already several teammates training.

Liu Mang didn't plan to come to the stadium to train today, such a close fight every other day, the team's training is very small, the reserve physical fitness is important, only the players who have games on the day but have to take turns to rest, such as Prince and Rasheed Wallace tomorrow will not play, they will only have additional shooting training and strength training tomorrow, everyone else can rest in addition to the tactical training on the day of the game, of course, the team will not be stopped from training, and the training will be planned in the case of the trainer's physical fitness estimate.

Not all teammates are the same as Liu Mang, there is a court at home, to practice, most of them come to the stadium, Liu Mang came to the stadium to warm up and then entered the training ground, Boozer, Korver, Stockton and Ostertag, Barnes, Calderon and other six people are training.

The main thing is that Ostertag and Stockton guide Boozer and Korver's running, Boozer is indeed a natural blocker, the training is very smooth, Korver's talent is much worse, except for the shooting touch, everything else is very poor, otherwise there will be no late bloomer, but he works very hard, and he is not discouraged by Stockton's stupid scolding, but works harder to contact the run.

However, Calderon is very satisfied with Stockton, when there is no confrontation, Calderon is really good, but he is too thin, and it is a little difficult to bear everyone in the short term.

Barnes's training content is that the trainer throws the ball to the basket to hit the iron, Barnes goes to rush the rebound with a blocking post, and there are open three-point shots, and the offensive end is these two things, and then there is weight gain, and the picture of him being run over by Artest to the basket is vivid.

In addition to Calderon's level where he has not really been able to play in the NBA, seeing the lineup composed of these five people, Liu Mang can't help but think of last season, Stockton, Haplin, Kirilenko, Raptors, Ostertag's lineup, if you put this lineup on the court, Korver is now a little second, and replacing Korver with himself is not the Hawks' version of the Utah Jazz.

"Ace, you're here too, aren't you resting at home today?" Stockton saw Liu Mang coming and smiled.

Hearing Stockton's question, Liu Mang looked bitter: "Today, Dinah made breakfast, the first time she made breakfast, John, when your daughter made breakfast for you for the first time, did you eat it?" ”

When Stockton heard this, he recalled the indescribable scene of his eldest daughter's first cooking, and couldn't help but smile: "Ace, it's really hard for you, but I'm very happy!" ”

"Yes, I was very happy when I came to help, and when I saw that the kitchen was almost lit, I began to regret it!" Liu Mang smiled bitterly.

"Haha, the child will grow up one day." Stockton smiled, smiling and smiling, the smile on his face was a little sad, "My eldest daughter is reluctant to go home now, and the child has grown up." ”

Little Lori is going to grow up!

Liu Mang felt weirdly uncomfortable in his heart, little Lori will be more eye-catching when she grows up, but she will get married when she grows up!

At this moment, Liu Mang has the same mood as Stockton, turning grief and anger into motivation! Liu Mang began to continue training!

With 15 games left, it won't be easy to get at least 12 wins!

……

Ask for a monthly pass, it's the last three days! The first can't catch up, stabilize the second, I'm afraid that the third god will be overtaken if he asks for a vote, and more than 6,000 people are determined......
