1347. Winds and rains
"Wrath of the Windchaser Mission: Storm Attack Triggered."
"Stormy Attack: The Suns, who have Shaq O'Neal and Steve Nash, have a weird and varied style of play that can play like a storm of tempo. Mission Objective 1: To surpass Steve Nash in assists against the Suns on December 19, 2006. Goal 2: The host team must make more three-pointers than the Suns. Goal 3: Win the game. Reward: Complete a mission objective and reward 10,000 superstar points; Complete two mission objectives to reward a special card: Shark's Buckle; Complete three mission objectives to reward Steve Nash's 2003-2004 Season Cards (Note: This is based on actual performance strength). Quest rewards stack. Failure Punishment: Invite Shaq O'Neill to work on a TV show that Shaq O'Neill wants to run. β
"Shark dunk: When an inside ball is singled, if there are no more than two opponents, when the host tries to block the dunk, if the opponent does not take a foul, the dunk cannot be stopped."
"Damn!"
If you fail the mission, can't you be hated even more?
Running a show with O'Neill? Five embarrassments?
That's all Liu Mang thought of!
That's really the rhythm of offending the stars to death, because the stars have more shots and more shots, so there are a lot of embarrassing shots......
However, the name of this mission makes Liu Mang feel quite in line with the Sun team, the big shark that inhabits the sea and the son of the wind who runs in the wind, together, isn't it a storm.
If D'Antoni is coaching this team, Liu Mang is not worried about the strength of the Suns at all, but it is Gentry...... He is the head coach who can return to the top with the 36-year-old Nash to reach the Western Conference finals.
Super point guards have taken many coaches' coaching careers to the pinnacle, such as Kidd to Byron Scott and Nash to Mike D'Antoni.
Similarly, Gentry also relied on Nash to make a name for himself, and when there was no super point guard like Nash or Rondo, Gentry seemed to be very average in coaching, and he was not as good as an assistant coach.
Nash's star card in the 03-04 season has a note, and it is estimated that he has no talent skills, because he did not show it at that time, he is an excellent singles scorer, and his shooting will not be better than Liu Mang's now.
Shark Clasp......
This is quite exciting, if you want to say who Liu Mang wants to detain the most...... A picture suddenly appeared in Liu Mang's mind, and he quickly shook his head.
"It's a brother! How can you detain him? No......"
If D'Antoni is coaching this team, Liu Mang is not worried about the strength of the Suns at all, but it is Gentry...... He is the head coach who can return to the top with the 36-year-old Nash to reach the Western Conference finals.
Super point guards have taken many coaches' coaching careers to the pinnacle, such as Kidd to Byron Scott and Nash to Mike D'Antoni.
Similarly, Gentry also relied on Nash to make a name for himself, and when there was no super point guard like Nash or Rondo, Gentry seemed to be very average in coaching, and he was not as good as an assistant coach.
But with Nash, with so many great role players, it's really a headache for the Suns to start using O'Neal's method now, especially since Josh Smith still has more than a year left on his rookie contract, and Calderon has more than a year left on his cheap contract, and the Suns can have a lot of room to manoeuvre......
Liu Mang thought that the Suns would definitely decline, and it was not until O'Neal reached the contract year that he could trade to a team that wanted to free up salary space, and the Suns could break free up the quagmire.
However, I didn't expect the Suns to fire D'Antoni, which was very unexpected by Liu Mang.
Looking at the logo of the Suns in the arena, Liu Mang found that this team could not be ignored!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Happy birthday, Dinah."
"Dinah has grown up,......"
"Dinah, this is the lipstick you've always wanted, the ...... that your aunt brought you back from France"
"Dinah ......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
Liu Mang watched the gifts that Little Lori received from all her teammates and teammates' girlfriends, wives and others fill two huge suitcases, and she didn't know what to say.
It's all a team of pets!
Since the end of the first season of Liu Mang's NBA career, Xiao Lori has often wandered around the team's arena, and Xiao Lori is more familiar with the family members of her teammates than Liu Mang.
The most familiar one is probably Jason Terry, after all, Liu Mang has never left Jason Terry in his career.
Some fans joked that without Jason Terry, Liu Mang had not made the playoffs, which Liu Mang really couldn't refute.
"Dinah, what do you want this electric bike for, isn't there Christine driving when you go out?" Liu Mang looked at the electric bicycle in the living room, and his flesh hurt!
More than 10,000 US dollars, buy an electric bicycle, made of gold!
"Dinah wants to ride a bike when she goes out, but it's so tiring to ride a bike, so it's just right to ride this." Little Lori is very happy, she has a lot of gifts today, and she also exploited a very expensive electric bicycle from Liu Mang.
"You ride, what about Christine?"
"Dinah will buy it for Aunt Wagner."
"......" looked at the little Lori with the posture of a local tyrant chick, Liu Mang asked speechlessly: "Then how to get it back?" β
"Uncle, aren't you going to beat five consecutive guests? After beating the Lakers, we went back by ourselves, and my mother had already contacted the charter flight. β
ββ¦β¦β
Liu Mang felt defeated by the mother and daughter......
Liu Mang casually looked at the gifts from his teammates and their families who came to their suite early this morning to give gifts, and there were actually lipsticks and eyeshadow......
This little Lori has also grown up...... Liu Mang was a little melancholy......
β¦β¦
At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang came to the West Jersey Arena to meet his teammates, and then continued to practice yesterday afternoon for the Suns' recent style of play.
After two training sessions, there was another team meeting to discuss some of the details.
This time, the Hawks attach great importance to the three consecutive away games in the West, and even the next two away games in the East add up to five consecutive away games.
If you are not careful, you are likely to be overtaken by the Heat!
If you can't get the first place in the East, the Hawks can still accept it, and you can't keep the first place in the region, and you will fall to the bottom half of the playoffs, which is unacceptable.
In particular, the Eagles had so few games in the first two months, and they couldn't afford to lose, and when it came to the three difficult game months from January to March, if they chased the record from behind, it would be as difficult as the 02-03 season.
After active preparation, the Eagles players went back to their hotels or rested in the lounge of the West Jersey Stadium in the afternoon.
After Liu Mang took his family to the stadium in the afternoon, he began to warm up......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Avril, call Daddy."
"Gaga ......," Avril exclaimed, but unfortunately she was neither Chinese's father nor her English-speaking father......
"Daddy......" is the baby on the side is showing his face too strongly.
"......" Liu Mang rubbed the face of his laughing daughter, and couldn't help asking: "Aida, your daughter is so stupid!" Why does Becas call her father, she still can't! β
ββ¦β¦ I want Avril to tell her dad that she won't teach herself! Alexia glanced at Liu Mang, took her daughter back, and sat in the third row.
The owner of the Suns gave the ticket, or the first row, and the price was more expensive than the box, but unfortunately the box at the West Jersey Arena was under maintenance and could not be used, and Alexia and the nanny with the two cubs could only go to the sidelines to watch the game, and exchanged tickets with the fans in the back row, which made the fans who came to see the game happy.
The price difference between the first and second rows of tickets is more than double, not to mention the third row.
"It's too much!" Liu Mang came to the field, and O'Neill also came.
The two shook hands amicably, as the two most honored players in the active roster, one inside and one outside, in the all-time best lineup, many people put the two of them in the point guard and center positions.
Looking at O'Neal, who was two laps fatter than last season and one lap fatter than the Lakers, Liu Mang couldn't help but complain: "Shaq, it's time to lose weight." β
"This is called handsome, you know, rich people are so handsome." O'Neal shook his hand and threw a sentence away, shaking his big ass back to his own half.
Liu Mang looked at O'Neill's back with emotion...... What a fat!
Shaq O'Neal, ability evaluation 90, 95 basket offense is still very strong, when the physical strength is good, it is still difficult to stop, the 35-year-old is similar to Eddie Curry in the fourth grade, and the defensive end is stronger, the block is still excellent, but limited by age and physical fitness, there is a lack of energy to continue to play like last season.
Nash, still in his prime, 95 ability evaluation, no improvement, this is normal, he will turn 33 in two months, and it will be amazing if he doesn't decline.
Averaging 18 points and 10.6 assists per game, Nash is the only player with double-doubles in assists this season, and finally has a chance to win the assist king after being bullied by Maddie and Liu Mang in a row.
Josh Smith, with an ability evaluation of 86, is comparable to LeBron James, the ball quotient is almost with Nash, the layup ability evaluation is as high as 92, the strong offense under the straight basket is very powerful, the ball control is good, and eating cakes is not a problem, although the comprehensive offensive ability evaluation is only 84, but the offense under the basket is really powerful, and the defensive evaluation of up to 88 is also excellent, only the third grade!
The average of 21+8+3 per game is beautiful, and the experience of how to play on a strong team learned by the Hawks has made Josh Smith a fish in water with the Suns, especially after the Suns' record has improved, Josh Smith's performance has become better.
Shaq O'Neal, ability evaluation 90, 95 basket offense is still very strong, when the physical strength is good, it is still difficult to stop, the 35-year-old is similar to Eddie Curry in the fourth grade, and the defensive end is stronger, the block is still excellent, but limited by age and physical fitness, there is a lack of energy to continue to play like last season.
CalderΓ³n, Competency Assessment 81...... The improvement has been great, soaring directly to the quasi-first-class level, with a three-point rating of 92 and a passing rating of 96...... He averaged 11 points and 6 assists per game, passed well, shared a lot of pressure from Nash, and was tall enough to play a shooting point guard, shooting 51.9 percent from the field, 42 percent from three-point range, and 93 percent from the free throw line......
Calderon is the only member of the 180 club this season, better than Nash's 48+42+94 shooting percentage, Liu Mang is a little closer, Liu Mang is 49 percent shooting, 41 percent three-point shooting, 89 percent three-point shooting, and the total shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage are a little worse.
The main thing is that the confrontation encountered is big, and it is not like Nash who will restrain his shots.
Boris Dior with an ability rating of 85, Laga Bale, the favorite for defense with a defensive rating of 94 this season, and the backup interior combination of two Thomas, James Jones...... Marcus Banks, Jalen Rose......
The substitutes are almost all players with 70+ ability ratings!
After O'Neal was traded to the Suns, there were a lot of people who came to hug his thighs, giving Gentry the capital to turn around the bad start!
β¦β¦
As Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air and attracted a burst of boos, the starters of both teams came on the field.
The Hawks didn't receive so many boos today, except for Liu Mang and Maddy, the two guys who robbed Nash of the assist king, the others had no grudges with the Suns, even if there was a matter of Raga Bell offending Liu Mang back then, after the Suns sent Marion, an All-Star power forward, to the Hawks, it was resolved.
And Marion started as the Eagles, and received cheers.
In the 04-05 season, Marion helped the Suns play a run-and-run storm, and the fans here still remember it.
And now the Suns have two main players from the Hawks, and they are both performing well, and the relationship between the two teams is not bad.
Liu Mang and Maddie ...... If Nash hadn't had a chance to win the assist title this season, they would have hated these two guys to death.
Except for Liu Mang, no one could have imagined that two or three Chinese New Year's Eve later, Nash, who was six or seven years old, would have the strength of the assist king under Gentry......
The Hawks, on their side, fielded the starting lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Marion, and Kwame Brown.
The Suns fielded a starting lineup of Nash, Raga Bell, Boris Dior, Josh Smith and O'Neal.
Kwame Brown and O'Neal came to the center circle to jump the ball.
With the referee's whistle, Liu Mang is ready to go!
Liu Mang was not disappointed, after the referee threw the ball to the highest point, Kwame Brown threw the racket to the left, and Liu Mang rushed up like an arrow to receive the ball.
Fast!
When O'Neal is on the floor, it's the Hawks who want to play fast!
Liu Mang accelerated at the beginning and caught the Suns off guard!
Raga Bell and Dio reacted quickly, blocked up Liu Mang quickly distributed the ball to Maddie, Maddie rushed into the inside, Kwame Brown obviously moved forward in a more backward position, but took a step to the free throw line first, blocking O'Neal under the basket, Maddie broke into the interior with the help of Kwame Brown's blocking, met Josh Smith's former little brother's defense, showed a squinting smile, and threw the ball over Josh Smith, Josh Smith turned around immediately, it was too late!
Sean Marion's Aircut Partition!
Marion goes back to where his dream began, the first goal, of course, is to make the ball for Marion!
