Any tactics will be analysed after the game.

So many media and professionals who rely on the NBA for food, what they do every day is to analyze this and that, not to mention, there are really a lot of correct analysis that has helped the NBA team a lot.

Therefore, if it is not ridiculously strong like the OK combination, it is very difficult to win consecutive championships, such as the Heat in 2013, thanks to Ray Allen's life-saving three points, because at that time the Heat had been thoroughly studied by Popovich after winning a championship, and the Lakers won two consecutive championships in 2010, because the champions of the previous two years were the teams that fought in the Finals, and they both knew each other well.

The Hawks are still outside the playoffs, but they are the favourites and are analyzed every game.

After the game between the Hawks and the Bucks, the analysts began to show off their operations again, just after the Hawks' tactics against Yao Ming were analyzed, Yao Ming has been playing very congested in recent times, being bullied by various short space insiders, and falling into the rookie wall.

Whether it is the United States or domestic media, they are ridiculing Liu Mang for giving his country's big center a problem.

Because of the game between the Rockets and the Hawks at that time, China and the United States had live broadcasts, and everyone saw that Liu Mang was drawing tactics.

Some fans in China have found a reason for Hei Liu Mang again, which is a stumbling block for the players of their own country.

On the contrary, Yao Ming himself can see that someone will always come up with this kind of tactic, encounter it early, and solve it as soon as possible.

No, Yao Ming has already begun to develop towards a flexible giant space technology flow center.

This time Payton was targeted at defense, and it was also studied, but Payton is a veteran superstar, he restrained his desire to play alone, this defensive strategy is not effective for all teams, and there are not many people who can anger Peyton, who is already a trash talk king.

However, the focus is not on whether this tactic can be used by most teams like against Yao Ming, the point is that people are speculating whether the defensive strategy this time was come up with by Liu Mang or Coach Kruger?

Although Liu Mang rarely did not draw with a tactical board in this game, how can this kind of defense, which has a strong and shameless style, look more and more like it came from the hands of this sophomore player?

In an interview after the game, Coach Kruger said that this was the team's strategy, and he was left and right.

This answer that wants to cover up, everyone agrees, it is the trick of the second-grade guy.

As a result, Peyton's hatred for Liu Mang deepened......

……

NBA celebrities love to do one thing, and that is the roundtable.

The roundtable was convened by NBA's top 50 superstars, such as Bill Wharton, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Hakeem Olajuwon, Magic Johnson, and Jeff Van Gundy, who abruptly resigned from the Knicks two years ago and is now working as an interim commentator at ESPN.

Before Jordan was about to retire permanently, a meeting was held to select "who is Jordan's successor".

This is much more convincing than the so-called expert media, which are all NBA celebrities or coaches.

In the end, among the current Mesozoic players, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, and Allen Iverson were selected as the most powerful candidates for Jordan's successor in the Mesozoic players.

The four quarterbacks that fans talk about may be widely circulated among the media and fans after the selection of Jordan's successor.

The new generation of players, among the rookies in the four years since the 1999 draft, there are two candidates who have been selected as Jordan's successors, one of which is Liu Mang, who averaged 20+ per game in his rookie season, and performed even better after the team returned to the regular this year!

The other one has not yet entered the NBA...... An overly mature guy who is still in his senior year of high school and does not have a three-point shot in the future, before he entered the NBA, he was regarded as one of Jordan's successors, and was listed as one of the six outside players with the most potential and strength in the middle and new generation of players.

The four quarterbacks, they are all famous superstars, the worst Carter, and also have the title of the best team and the strongest dunk king in history.

Liu Mang also has an average of 20+ per game as a rookie, 50+ in a single game in his rookie season, and the feat of scoring 54 points against Jordan.

And James, who really relied on pure talent, was selected for this ranks, and he was terrifying......

……

After the roundtable meeting was jointly broadcast by ESPN and TNT, it aroused strong repercussions.

In the past, it was the general media that was building momentum to say who was Jordan's successor, but this time it was different, this time it was the real superstar and former head coach who played with Jordan and selected Jordan's successor.

The title of "Big Four Quarterbacks" composed of Jordan's successors composed of four Mesozoic players has spread far and wide, of course, the United States is mainly based on the title of the four Jordan successors, because Iverson did not play a point guard in his early years, Carter and Maddie are not a point guard now, and the real scoring guard is a little blacksmith.

Mainly in China, seeing those video clips of Iverson, Kobe, Maddy, Carter and Jordan against each other, I subconsciously regarded them as scoring guards, of course, they did play scoring guards when they were against Jordan, and there was nothing wrong with them, anyway, the names of the four quarterbacks were widely spread in Asia.

And Liu Mang was selected as one of the only two successors of Jordan in the new generation of players, and he broke the sky in the two major basketball countries of China and the United States!

Some people think that Liu Mang is too high-spirited, and some people are very happy.

For the two candidates of the new generation of players, the United States is not particularly opposed, most fans still agree, the rookies in the four years since the 1999 draft, Liu Mang is undoubtedly the best performer, with good personal data, good team record, and high popularity.

Sometimes it's so strange, but there are a lot of people who ridicule Liu Mang in China, and there are more remarks on the Internet that ridicule Liu Mang for whether he stuffed money than they support him.

Especially seeing that there is an "unknown" high school student who has been selected as one of the successors of the new generation of Jordan, many black fans have a reason to kill and ridicule Liu Mang.

As everyone knows, the 18-year-old high school student who looks about the same as the 48-year-old, American fans have no objection at all when they see him being selected as Jordan's successor, and many people even think that putting Liu Mang alongside a super genius that has been rare in their country for ten years is to promote Liu Mang......

……

……

The Hawks have just arrived in the Denver Plateau to prepare for the third game of a four-game road trip and the final game in four days and three games.

Liu Mang saw the list of Jordan's successors and was really flattered!

What a surprise!

He was only in the second grade and was selected as Jordan's successor by the celebrities? This is not something that the media can write casually, the little blacksmith who averaged 7 points per game in his rookie year dared to be touted as Jordan's successor, and a group of celebrities and famous coaches discussed the results of the selection, but it was quite authoritative.

Liu Mang was so surprised.

However, seeing that James, who was still playing in the high school league, was also selected as Jordan's successor, Liu Mang thought of beating NCAA basketball and football, baseball, and ice hockey in major sports news as a high school student this year...... James, who is a star of all NCAA stars, has learned things that he couldn't know in his previous life at home.

Why does a high school student get 90 million sneaker endorsements for 7 years?

Why can a high school student's game be broadcast live across the United States?

James's name is so loud in the United States!

Jay Williams, who was so strong in the NCAA last year, is already very popular, but compared to this year's James, it is more than a little bit worse.

Just as countless teams waited for Duncan in the past three years from 1995 to 1997, several teams this year have gone crazy and lost as much as they can.

James' popularity is not only basketball, the NFL is also actively trying to push James to join them, that kind of historical talent that is visible to the naked eye, whether it is playing basketball, football or even ice hockey, it is sought after by countless teams.

If it weren't for the fact that the four major leagues now have a joint agreement, the draft of one of the leagues would not be able to participate in the other, and maybe there would be a double champion in the NBA and NFL, and James would have been the best high school football player in Ohio when he was a sophomore in high school.

It sounds a bit ridiculous that both the NFL and the NBA choose the same person with a high pick, but it's not uncommon, the future three-point king and his father are the double high-pick rookies in the NBA and Major League Baseball MLB leagues.

Liu Mang saw that James in the new generation of players in the newspaper was several times larger than himself in the candidate for Jordan's successor, and he felt a little embarrassed, and he looked amazing!

But I'm so excited!

Liu Mang saw himself juxtaposed with Kobe, Maddie, Iverson, Carter, and the future little emperor, and this feeling was amazing!

……

……

Poisoned milk is a thing that I would rather believe in it than not.

Liu Mang was selected as one of Jordan's successors, and Liu Mang's fans and Hawks fans naturally celebrated together.

But this kind of title is still a very authoritative selection by celebrities, and it is very hateful.

It's not just those who weren't chosen to be Jordan's successor who are hostile to the chosen, it's the chosens that are competing more obviously.

Just like Kobe Bryant played against James for the first time, he didn't score anymore and had to defend James from 6 of 20, Maddie hit James alive and scored eight three-pointers in the half, making James doubt his life, Carter rode a dunk directly on Big Z's head, and glared at James.

If it weren't for Iverson's short stature, he would have wanted to James.

The four quarterbacks fight each other, and if they are one-on-one, they will only be half a catty, and no one can say that they can suppress the opponent, so they can only abuse the vegetables.

Originally, Jordan's successor selection only had the four quarterbacks and James, who was still a high school student, so there was a saying about the four quarterbacks in China, because most domestic fans didn't know much about James before he reached the finals in 2007.

And now the five Jordan successors have become six, and Liu Mang has also become one of the targets.

Why is it that there are so few examples of people challenging the success of Jordan's successor, and so few people even challenge them?

Because the four quarterbacks are almost at their peak now, except for the four of them, there is no other outside line to compete with them, and James has not yet entered the NBA, and his strength is already very strong in the first year of entering the NBA, and in the second year, he has directly promoted to the ranks of top stars with an average of 27+7+7 per game, and no one can beat them at the peak of the five people.

It's a shame that a certain little blacksmith was by a great general for 60 points.

And now, Liu Mang, who is still a young shoot, is now starting to be jealous.

Most of the young basketball players in the United States have a higher heart than the sky and have the patience to survive, just like O'Neal Jr., who stayed up on the bench for four years and soared to the sky with another team, giving a lot of motivation to many depressed young players.

They want to find opportunities, to show what they can do, to be liked by the management of another team or the team they are currently in.

And defeating Liu Mang is the best opportunity to make a name for yourself!

So, on January 21, the last game of the Hawks' four days and three games came to Denver to challenge the Nuggets away, and they were "challenged" by an opponent for the first time in their lives.

……

Because the Eagles just played a back-to-back, it hasn't eased up, of course, it's talking about other people other than Liu Mang, after playing a back-to-back normally, sleeping for a day and then playing again, it is physiologically difficult to eliminate fatigue, and Denver is a plateau with an altitude of nearly 2000 meters, 2000 meters does not look high, and there is no big problem with traveling or anything, but for NBA athletes who need to consume a lot of oxygen, this little difference, It is especially prominent when they have physical problems.

So after the start of this game, Jason Terry and Prince shot 0 of 4 from the outside in the starting stage, Raheem was continuously packed on the inside, and the Hawks were killed by the Nuggets at the beginning of a wave of 9-0.

In this case, Nuggets head coach Jeff Bouzederik refused, and seeing that the Hawks called a timeout to replace Liu Mang on the court, Coach Bouzedrick decisively replaced Devin Brown, Donnell Harvey, Rodney White, Chris Anderson, Nene Hilario, these first- and second-year players, and the oldest is Birdman Anderson in the third year.

Buzederrick was pulled directly from the position of the team's press officer to the position of head coach by the Nuggets, isn't it just to put it on the table, how can it be that he watched several veterans of the team play so well, so he replaced the lineup that all entered the NBA after 2000, thinking that this can be a painful loss! And it can also give young players playing time to develop them, and it is beautiful.

However, this group of new generation players, after seeing Liu Mang, they were all red-eyed, Devin Brown and Donnell Harvey defended Liu Mang in a meat grinder-style manner, Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry, and this thing actually relented and threw a three-way ......

Then Devin countered and dunked to open the game to the Hawks 11-0......

After Liu Mang was caught and passed several times in a row, the hit rate of his teammates was outrageously low.

As long as Liu Mang sleeps enough and recovers mentally, physical fitness is not a problem, but his teammates can't!

Liu Mang could only turn on the scoring mode, but the opponent actually took the ball and caught it, Liu Mang was also average in the case of teammates who were tired and couldn't get much help.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks trailed by 10 points, 14-24.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, the Eagles replaced the combination of Liu Mang, Prince, Chris Crawford, Boozer, and Murtola, and played relatively better, and the physical condition of the benches was much better than that of the starters.

Who knows that the young people of the Nuggets are like playing chicken blood, the Hawks' lineup as a substitute lineup is considered a strong bench lineup in the league, but it can't stand the Nuggets' desperate defense, and the Hawks failed to catch up with the score after halftime, the halftime score was 40-48, and the Hawks still trailed by more than 5 points.

The most feared thing about young teams is their fighting spirit!

Once you give them momentum, it's hard to keep them down.

was originally jealous of the title Liu Mang is getting now, the main players of the Hawks started poorly, giving the Nuggets a chance to get up, and in the third quarter, the re-coming Hawks players found a little feeling, and when they wanted to suppress the Nuggets in the third quarter, they found that they couldn't suppress it!

Birdman Anderson played passionately on the inside, his head on Ratlleaf's arm hard, and the outside line desperately defended, stunned the Hawks!

Seeing that the Nuggets are snowballing, the Hawks really can't go back!

In the end, the third game of the Hawks' five-game away game, in the Denver Plateau, 84-91, the Hawks lost to the Nuggets away, and Liu Mang, who scored 31 points on 7-of-23 shooting and 14 free throws, also tried his best.

……

……

Leaving from the Denver Plateau and coming to Portland, where the climate is quite charming, Liu Mang didn't dare to go out to hang out, and when he came out of the airport, Liu Mang saw a large number of fans hostile to him "picking up" outside the airport.

Liu Mang looked at the "public enemy of Los Angeles", "public enemy of Portland", "public enemy of New Jersey", and "public enemy of Detroit...... He learned the title of public enemy in the city where the teams hated him so much he hated were that he had been in love with all the local basketball fans here last year.

What a big deal!

Liu Mang said that he did not press himself if he had too much hatred.

But now he has discovered one thing, that is, he is named Jordan's successor, although it is generally a good thing, but it has also caused him a lot of trouble.

It's like just being taken out by the Nuggets, which is an example.

Relying on his own performance, he was rated as Jordan's successor by celebrities, which is Liu Mang's glory, and he himself is proud of it.

However, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and if you want to hold a rose, you must bear its wounds.

What does Jordan's successor mean? Data? Play?

No, not really.

Like Iverson's style of play, no matter how nonsense you put it, it has nothing to do with Jordan.

Jordan's successor means that he is the next player to dominate the NBA like Jordan, so Liu Mang and the four quarterbacks plus James are called Jordan's successor candidates.

Liu Mang was very excited to receive such a high award, but as soon as he was selected, he was challenged by a group of people, and even the new generation of players like the Nuggets who had no potential and were not seen by people were so hostile to him, Liu Mang already felt the pressure to catch up with Jordan.

Liu Mang sighed with a loss, how did the blacksmith and the high school student who could trap flies with his forehead tattoo hold on to the end? Just thinking about it, the kind of superstars who will be challenged by various contemporaries, new generations, and even future superstars who are still in elementary and junior high school in the next ten years, Liu Mang feels terrifying!

However, Liu Mang quickly thought about it, the matter has come to this point, only to make himself stronger! And you have a chance to be the strongest.

was selected by celebrities as one of the six candidates for Jordan's successor, who would refuse to be elected? Don't you see that those who weren't selected are all red-eyed?

Liu Mang put aside these troubles and prepared for the next game.

17-20, with five games left, the opponents are two games against the Trail Blazers, these two games, are the toughest of the remaining five games, the SuperSonics and the Suns are on the verge of the Western Conference playoffs, and they are also quite difficult to deal with, leaving only the Clippers to completely collapse this year.

……

……

The biggest problem in playing consecutive away games is not whether the opponent is strong or not, but the physical fitness and the lack of time to prepare for the game.

In the game against the Nuggets, although they lost, the advantage is that Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff only played more than 20 minutes, and most of the time Liu Mang was fighting with the second lineup, so now that the physical recovery is almost complete, there is no big problem in this regard.

The main thing is that there is still no time for tactical training against the Trail Blazers.

This is the most difficult place in the case of consecutive away games and one game every other day.

I can only study the tactics, watch the video, have a meeting, and I don't even have time to actually practice the tactics, because the Hawks flew to Portland the next day after the Nuggets, and rested for one night, and today is the 23rd, and the night will be dragged on, and there is no time to rent a stadium to train, wasting that time, it is better to watch more game videos and study the opponent.

The Trail Blazers are now ranked fifth in the West, beating the Lakers in sixth place in the West and the Jazz in seventh, with the same record as the Timberwolves, 24-17, but the Timberwolves have a higher winning rate than the Trail Blazers when they play against teams in the same Northwest Division, so they rank first in the Division and shoot fourth in the West.

This year, there is no rule that the first division must be in the top three, so the Mavericks are not so sad to be squeezed to fourth, the first Spurs in the West are now 29-11, the second-place Kings are 28-13, and the third-place Mavericks are 26-13.

This year's Trail Blazers strength is a bit of a return to the light, the roof of the world Sabonis in the NBA after a year of departure, back to the Trail Blazers, the big brother of the world basketball back, the Trail Blazers that impetuous atmosphere to suppress, sometimes there is a veteran, really a family of old like a treasure, this kind of somewhat powerful prestige veteran, any team wants, although this year Sabonis is far less than the state before the break a year ago, the starter can not play, but he is in the Trail Blazers, So that the trailblazers can get back to normal.

The locker room leader seems to be illusory, a problem in the locker room of a team, and it is difficult for others to understand, but from the beginning of the Trail Blazers to the current record, it can be seen that the Trail Blazers are different from last season this season.

Scott Pippen can still maintain the overall and half-pounded form from last season, Rasheed Wallace is more willing to defend than last season because of the return of his big brother, Bunch Wells got a 4-year, 30 million contract, Dale Davis has old-timers to share the interior pressure, and Zach Randolph, a sophomore, has improved significantly under the guidance of Sabonis, and he and Sabonis have learned a beautiful hand of footwork and have improved significantly, averaging 8 points and 5 boards per game this season.

Such a trailblazer has once again become a powerhouse in the West and is considered to be able to stir up the Western Conference playoffs.

Playing the Trail Blazers, the Hawks are also under a lot of pressure.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Eagles players came to the Rose Garden Arena for a pre-game warm-up.

Just as the Eagles players were doing training, a vicious-looking guy with a bad expression came to the Eagles locker room.

The bearded face, gloomy eyes, and huge body are mainly temperament, the kind of temperament that looks like a mixed society, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable, and it is estimated that children will cry directly when they see it.

The man had just entered the away team training ground where the Eagles were from the players' tunnel, and a person came out of the bathroom next to the players' tunnel, bald and round-headed, a few centimeters shorter, but burly, and vicious-looking, at first glance, he looked like the ruthless and vicious boss in gangster movies.

The two didn't notice each other and knocked each other down.

The two "mixed society" men who bumped into each other saw each other's images, and they didn't react to who the other party was for a while, simply because of the other party's appearance and image, they were startled, and quickly took two steps back, and said at the same time: "I'm sorry." ”

"Uh......?"

When both of them were bending down to apologize, they heard each other's apologies at the same time, and they were both stunned, and the scene was a little embarrassing......

"Carlos, didn't you tell you to go to Tyshawn to help me get my shoes, what are you doing here, the money is gone? …… Hey, Rashid, why are you here? ”

Liu Mang was still complaining that Boozer was slower than when defending, and due to the problem of visual blind spots, he saw Rashid Wallace in the corner when he got closer.

Boozer would bump into Rashid Wallace, also because it was around the corner, neither of them saw each other, Boozer panicked to go to the parking lot, Liu Mang's training shoes Prince brought them, and the cold generation used for the game was forgotten in the team bus.

Boozer saw Liu Mang greeting Rasheed Wallace very familiarly, and then he reacted, the big man in front of him was Rasheed Wallace, the star of the Trailblazers and one of the top power forwards in the league.

Seeing that Liu Mang and Rashid Wallace's previous image of mixed society suddenly changed, he grinned: "Haha, Ace, I wanted to come to you yesterday, but I was afraid of delaying your rest, so now I come to see you, it seems that your current situation ...... Not bad, is this one? ”

Unlike Boozer, who is familiar with the famous star in the same position, Rasheed Wallace saw Boozer for the first time and was surprised that the Eagles were looking for a player who was so bad-looking, so that the opponent was not afraid to misunderstand that they had chosen a fighter?

If Boozer had known what Rashid Wallace had made of him, he didn't know if he would have wanted to cry or laugh......

But although he didn't know what Rashid Wallace was thinking, Boozer saw Rashid Wallace's devilish smile and actually ...... A little kind!

Because this smile is too similar to Boozer himself! They are the kind of people who think they are innocent but can scare children into tears.

"This is the rookie of our team, Carlos, very strong, I will rely on him to deal with you today!" Liu Mang introduced his teammates strongly, but he didn't boast, tonight to deal with the Trail Blazers interior group, Boozer's shooting ability and singles skills are very important.

Rashid Wallace saw that Liu Mang seemed to attach great importance to Boozer's teammate, and felt that he should not be a bad person: "Hi, hello, I'm Rashid, and I'm the same as Ace, call you Carlos, okay?" ”

"You...... Hello, I'm Carlos, please advise! Boozer is more restrained, as a rookie, he is not so afraid to talk too loudly to the top power forward who has been famous for many years.

However, Boozer saw that Liu Mang seemed to have a good relationship with Rashid Wallace, and Boozer felt that Rashid Wallace should also be a good person, maybe very different from his appearance! Probably a good guy!

Rashid Wallace and Boozer suddenly looked at each other, and there was a sense of being connected to the same disease, both of them had suffered from worldly prejudices because of their looks, and they tried to show their kindness, but they repeatedly frightened the little pot friend.

The two suddenly had a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Looking at Boozer and Rashid Wallace, Liu Mang suddenly felt an atmosphere of infinite affection, and Liu Mang broke down in a cold sweat......
