106-91, the Hawks easily defeated the Jazz, and they didn't abuse them too badly, which was considered to have some affection in it, and when Jason Terry came on the court with the bench lineup, the Hawks had no defense, so that the players on the Jazz side brushed up the data.

After playing the Jazz team, Liu Mang drove to the airport the next morning with two big boxes that made Iguodala want to cry.

It's about to start a wave of not too difficult four-storeys.

Timberwolves, Mavericks, Bulls, Pacers, a wave of four consecutive visitors, all playoff teams, originally this schedule was the most difficult schedule for the Hawks in December, and it was also specially arranged by the league in mid-December The Hawks have a wave of concentrated strong opponents, in addition to the Bulls, the other three strong teams are pre-season predictions for the championship, and let the Hawks stimulate the fans who are a little exhausted at this stage in mid-December.

Who knows, there is no need to be stimulated, the Eagles did something at the beginning of the month, which attracted a lot of attention.

But what I didn't expect was that the originally arranged schedule to excite the fans became only a strong team for the Mavericks......

The Timberwolves collapsed on their own, the Pacers fought and collapsed, and now it is found that in addition to the Mavericks, the most interesting thing for the Hawks in this six-game tour is the game with the Bulls......

Fans are not interested in the Mavericks, but want to see how the Hawks will perform next time they meet the Bulls.

……

Came to Minneapolis, this place, it's too cold!

And the humidity is worse than in Atlanta, not far from the south coast, the city of ten thousand lakes.

In Minneapolis after entering winter, it is really impossible to stop the invasion of the cold wind even in a coat......

When Liu Mang arrived at the hotel, he didn't want to leave the room, anyway, he just rested for one night, and the game would start tomorrow night.

The coaching staff did not arrange training, and the next day, on the morning of the game with the Timberwolves, there was no training, there was a team meeting after lunch, and at half past three in the afternoon, I took the bus directly to the target center, and when I warmed up, I practiced the tactics, and the preparation for the game with the Timberwolves was finished.

It's not that the Hawks look down on the Timberwolves...... Well, I just can't look at it.

The mentality of the championship-winning team is generally more relaxed, such as the difference between the rest of the Eagles and Maddie, how others Liu Mang plays follows Liu Mang's temperament, and the rookie has no right to speak, only Maddie has been silently wiping Liu Mang's buttocks.

With Raheem, Ratliff, and Barnes, in exchange for Maddy, in addition to having a superstar, one more superstar who is hungry for victory and has never won a championship is necessary for the Hawks.

Of course, it's not that the Hawks don't want to win the championship anymore, on the contrary, Liu Mang, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Jason Terry are all the kind of players who are "addicted" to the championship after winning a championship, and Kwame Brown also wants to win the championship after becoming the main player, and is more eager than the championship won as a substitute.

It's just that the Eagles players are very confident in their own strength, and they are less and less interested in their opponents.

This mentality is inevitable, with the legendary sense of déjà vu of pulling erhu with full blood and squandering everywhere......

Like now, the Hawks have a 16-4 record and are first in the East, second only to the Suns at 17-4, and the Timberwolves are 8-12 and in 10th place in the West......

Therefore, the Hawks coaching staff and management, looking for Liu Mang to discuss the players to trade, not only to strengthen the inside, but also to strengthen the second, mainly need a player who is more eager for the championship, and preferably a player with prestige, to supervise this group of young people, just like Kevin Willis and Stockton last season.

And Liu Mang thought about it for two days, and he really thought of someone......

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang finished the pre-game warm-up, and the game was about to start at half past six, and the Eagles players were waiting for the previous live game to enter the stadium when the game was almost over.

Playing the Timberwolves is broadcast live in the United States, and it was determined before the season, but whether the next game with the Timberwolves will be broadcast live is to be determined.

The Hawks game will not begin until the Rockets played the Heat's East-West No. 1 center battle in the previous game is over.

Coach Kruger is in discussions with Mike Woodson about which players to use as chips and who they can swap for, and this question is the biggest headache for the Hawks' coaching staff right now.

If you want it, you can't change it without bleeding, and if you can change it, it doesn't make much difference if you don't change it.

And who to exchange for is also a question.

Calderon and Korver, who are still in the growth stage, have no physical talent, and rely on their hands to eat, and other teams can't look at them, so there are only five rookies to use: Iguodala, Tony Allen, Ariza, Josh Smith, and Vallejo.

But these five rookies are all very talented, and the coaching staff is reluctant.

You have to make trade-offs, and I really don't know how to make trade-offs.

So I'm trying now to see which players integrate into the team faster, strong teams won't give potential players the opportunity to develop slowly, just like Jermaine O'Neal, the Trail Blazers can also see his talent, but they still haven't given him any time to hone, a four-year rookie contract, which adds up to less than 2,000 minutes, which is not as much time as Iverson's rookie playing in a season.

Relatively speaking, Iguodala is the most satisfying to the Eagles coaching staff, and everyone else is in the inspection period, so today the Eagles brought in Tony Allen and Ariza, Vallejo also brought in, Calderon and Korver went to play in the Development League.

Coach Kruger was discussing with Mike Woodson when he suddenly saw a little rascal come up.

Coach Kruger hurriedly grabbed his tactical board, the game is about to start, what is this guy doing?

Coach Kruger asked, "Ace, is the warm-up over?" ”

Liu Mang watched Coach Kruger grab the tactical board, holding it so tightly, it was strange, could it be Parkinson's disease? Can't hold it tightly without pinching?

Liu Mang found that he wanted to think too far, so he withdrew his attention and said, "Coach, didn't you ask me to think about who to trade?" I've got it! ”

It's not a tactical board, that's good, Coach Kruger saw the Timberwolves logo in this arena, is this kid ...... Coach Kruger said to Liu Mang: "Don't say you want to trade Garnett, do you want to use you as a bargaining chip?" That's a good principle. ”

Eh, eh! Master is your cutest and obedient apprentice! Are you willing to use your best apprentice as a bargaining chip?

Liu Mang felt panicked in his heart, and said: "No, it's better to partner with that guy, forget it, we have Rashid, I have a candidate, I don't know if I should talk about it or not......"

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Coach Kruger said impatiently, this kid has learned to sell off!

Liu Mang felt that Coach Kruger was disliking him more and more, and he felt so sad in his heart, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mike Woodson next to him, Liu Mang saw Mike Woodson's hair getting less and less: You deserve to be bald!

After adjusting his sad mood, Liu Mang said: "That is a former superstar, and now the strength is still there, it must be no problem to be a substitute, he just came back a few days ago, he is in good shape, the defense is very tough, he is full of hunger for the championship, and he probably won't care about the problem of playing time, he can play the two positions of big forward and center, and he also has a certain ability to attack independently on the inside......"

Liu Mang said the characteristics of the candidate he had in mind, which was almost exactly the same as the characteristics of the person the coaching staff wanted Liu Mang to find.

When Coach Kruger said the request before, Liu Mang only thought of Duncan and Malone after the age of 39, otherwise who else could be so good and willing to play as a substitute, and was full of desire for the championship.

The key person Ma Long is reluctant to play, Ma Long is a trainer in the team, if he can persuade him to come back, he will come back a long time ago, after the team learned about Ma Long's thoughts, they also respected Ma Long and forcibly fought for his comeback, which is disrespectful to Ma Long.

This afternoon, Liu Mang watched the news after warming up, and suddenly a candidate came into his sight.

When Liu Mang said the characteristics of that player, Coach Kruger's eyes lit up, and before Liu Mang could finish speaking, Coach Kruger interrupted: "Ace, who are you talking about?" ”

Eh, are you in such a hurry? Liu Mang felt that Coach Kruger had never been so enthusiastic about him, it was really too much!

However, the characteristic is that he said it, this person, Liu Mang felt that it would definitely make the team management and coaching staff hesitate, and after a hesitation, he said: "Alonzo Mourning." ”

Yes, it's Mo Ning, Liu Mang saw the report of the game between the Raptors and the Wizards in the afternoon, Mo Ning in the second game after his comeback, when facing the Wizards, he got 9 points, 7 boards and 4 blocks in 21 minutes on the court, and his state is much higher than the last game of 6 points and 6 boards, which can be described as very strong.

This guy can't be snatched away by the Heat!

You have to get him back before Mourning takes the initiative to negotiate a buyout with the Raptors to join the Heat!

But Moning basically reimbursed for two consecutive seasons, one season was diagnosed with kidney disease, and the other season was kidney replacement surgery, and he just came back, otherwise with Moning's strength, even if he is 35 years old and only has a middle-class contract, there are also teams who want it, and the Raptors can't give Mourning too many opportunities to perform, they still have to train Milicic and let Mourning play just to let other teams see the value of Mourning and trade Mourning.

But even two games after Mourning's comeback

Just as Liu Mang thought, Coach Kruger calmed down immediately when he heard the name.

Indeed, it is the same as Liu Mang said, if Mo Ning can recover his health, the 35-year-old Mo Ning really doesn't care about playing time and starting whether he starts, and now the salary is cheap, only the middle class, maybe he can also deal with the Raptors to buy out, the Hawks only need to pay compensatory players and cash for the buyout, as long as Mo Ning nods and agrees to join the Eagles after the buyout, everything can be operated, and the current rules are allowed.

But Mo Ning had a kidney! This is undoubtedly a devastating blow for a professional athlete.

Moreover, everyone knows that Mourning wants to return to the Heat, if he spends money and player compensation to trade with the Raptors, and the Raptors buy out Mourning, Mourning regrets it, and if he doesn't come to the Hawks, it will be a big loss.

Of course, the odds of Mourning not coming are not high, and it looks like the Hawks are still going to be more championship-looking than the Heat.

So, Coach Kruger's biggest concern is Mourning's physical condition, he and Mike Woodson look at each other, and Mike Woodson shares the same concern.

"Ace, I'm going to discuss this with the boss and other coaches, and you can pay attention to other candidates......" Coach Kruger didn't continue to discuss this issue, and let Liu Mang prepare for the game.

Liu Mang knew that after Mo Ning's kidney change, the next 05-06 and 06-07 seasons were very healthy, and he averaged at least 2.5 blocks per game in about 20 minutes of playing time for two years, and he was a top five player in the block list before retiring.

But how do you say that the coaching staff will believe it?

After all, it's a kidney exchange!

Anyway, the suggestion has been put forward, how the coaching staff and the boss think about it, Liu Mang can't force it, after all, it's not a rookie, a rookie can do anything, and there are really few people who can still play in the NBA after such a serious illness and surgery.

Although Ostertag also has similar surgery, Ostertag's two kidneys are very healthy, and it is a transplant of a kidney to his sister, not that there is a kidney problem, but even so, Ostertag, who is only 32 years old and less than 33 years old, retired after playing last season, and the weight of one kidney is missing is really uncontrollable, and he can still rely on perseverance when he didn't win the championship before, and the summer after winning the championship, his weight soared to more than 150 kilograms.

Liu Mang thought about it and thought about it, and got my life......

……

At half-past six, the Hawks' away game against the Timberwolves is about to begin.

The atmosphere at the target center is depressing, similar to the atmosphere in the Timberwolves right now.

Liu Mang rubbed the magnesium powder and looked at the ability evaluation and data of the players on the Timberwolves' side.

Kevin Garnett, Ability Rating 98 (Peak), Offense 90, Defense 100, Three-Point 61, Shooting 89, Layup 91, Speed 85, Power 89, Rebounds 99, Passing 83...... He averaged 22 points, 14 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.

Sam Cassel, 86 in Ability, 88 in Offense, 85 in Defence...... He averaged 14.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

Ratlier Sprewell, Ability Rating 85, Offense 90, Defense 73...... He averaged 15.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

It's not much different from last season!

Garnett is at his peak, he is all-around to the limit, he is a big forward and a small forward, and he has no solution to the defense, and he is the best defensive player level, if it wasn't for Artest last season, he would have won the first best defensive player.

The alien and the madman are both old and strong, and the two 35-year-old veterans are not much different from the 34-year-old last season, they are both strong, they are both first-class stars, and the data is good.

The Timberwolves' lineup has hardly changed compared to last season, and there is a Szzerbiak with an ability evaluation of 81 who averages 15+3+2 per game as the sixth man, so the strength of the Timberwolves should have improved!

Liu Mang sprinkled a handful of magnesium powder, and after pulling waves of hatred and boos, he walked on the field and waited for the game to start.

The Eagles' starting lineup is still Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Timberwolves sent Cassel, Trayton Hassel, Sprewell, Garnett, and Olorokandi.

Kwame Brown and Garnett, two iconic high school players on the inside, came to the center circle to jump the ball, the referee picked the ball, saw that the players of both teams were in good position, blew the whistle for the start of the game, and threw the ball into the air.

"Oh!"

Liu Mang saw Kwame Brown win the jump ball from Garnett's head today!

Liu Mang received the ball and passed it to Maddie, running towards the front court, thinking that in the last game, Kwamei Brown got more than 20 rebounds and only scored 9 points, and he was really stimulated, so he would pass fewer penalties to Little Kwamei in the future, and it would be good to be so powerful every day.

Liu Mang rushed to the front court, thinking that there would be some obstacles, who knew that he rushed directly to the opponent's basket, Maddie didn't need to run to the bottom corner to attract the defense, received the ball and dribbled two steps to the basket, Liu Mang jumped high, received the ball in the air, and when he jumped up, he aimed at only Garnett to defend back, Liu Mang stagnated in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand.

The scene immediately booed, and they were very unhappy with Liu Mang's provocative air connection.

Garnett rushed in and saw Liu Mang who had landed, glared at him fiercely, didn't say anything, knew that he couldn't scold, and he fought...... Forget it, Garnett picked up the ball and went.

After picking up the ball, seeing that Cassel and Sprewell were not active in defending and asking for the ball, Garnett simply didn't want to pass the ball!

Liu Mang, who was back on defense, turned his head and looked at it, and when he saw this scene, he probably understood the problem on the Timberwolves' side.

The scouting report wasn't that precise, it was about a chemistry problem, wasn't it actually a scrum for the ball?

"Ding...... Trait: Foolish level 3 trigger, dedicated to fighting for the team, trying to trust his teammates, from Kevin Garnett. ”

Foolish has become level 3?

Liu Mang saw an obvious difference, in the past, Garnett's description was to fight for the team wholeheartedly, but now it has become single-minded, this gap is the difference between doing your best and doing your best!

Liu Mang then remembered that Garnett's totem buff-type talent skill wolf blood boiling, and the iron-blooded field of the built-in defensive system was not triggered! So there was no enthusiasm in defense at all, and there was no sense of pressure on the players of both teams on the field because of Garnett's presence.

That is, the Timberwolves team is no longer the team that fought for the championship with one heart last season!

Seeing that Cassel received Garnett's serve, he didn't care about his teammates after pushing over, he singled with Prince, and angrily sent a long two-point iron, Liu Mang immediately went down, rushed to the bottom corner of the opponent to receive Maddy's pass and turned around and missed a three-point shot, but was scored two points by Rasheed Wallace's rebound, the Timberwolves' retreat speed was obviously not as fast as last season, and only Garnett was running at full strength.

Kassel's current style of play has become too independent, and the same style of play of Spreville has become the same, both have become singles-based, at most singles to divide the ball.

Liu Mang remembered that these two people seemed to have left the Timberwolves due to contract issues after this season.

No wonder, the Timberwolves said it collapsed!

The singles efficiency of the two is actually very good most of the time, so the Timberwolves can still have some games, and as the season deepens, the Timberwolves are different from the Hawks, their mid-season schedule is very easy, and it is not too much of a problem to return to the ranks of contenders for the eighth place in the Western Conference playoffs, but at this stage, they play like this, which is to send food to the strong teams.

McHale didn't seem to have much to do, and forced Cassell to play a half-quarter game with Sprewell and Garnett alone, scoring 10 points, Cassell met Prince, Sprewell met Maddy, and Garnett met Rasheed Wallace, all of which were very inefficient, that is, relying on a fast pace, scoring 10 points on 4-of-14 shooting.

And the Hawks scored 19 points on the counterattack fast break!

Liu Mang scored 8 points in a single quarter, was replaced to rest, and was replaced by Calderon.

Liu Mang sat on the bench and saw Garnett's gloomy expression on the other side, not to mention anything else, he still admired Garnett's desire to win the game as a basketball player.

Liu Mang thought of Coach Kruger's joke before...... It's not impossible to get Garnett and wait two more years for his foolish mind to collapse!

Mourning, who grabbed the Heat, Garnett, who grabbed Kaizi......

However, Liu Mang is now the strongest to say a word to Sprewell, who is working hard to get good data and fight for a big contract: buddy, 7 million US dollars can also support a family.
