With the experience of the last time, the Hawks have done a better job of defending James at this stage, James played 12 minutes in the first quarter, 9 minutes in the second quarter, and two minutes in the third quarter, a total of 23 minutes, 2 of 13 scored 10 points, which is still a whistle to score, in addition to 3 boards and 3 assists, and then was replaced by Paul Silas and was never replaced.

The Hawks returned to their home court to rely on the momentum of the Devils' home court, and the Cavaliers except for James, everyone else completely withered, and they couldn't shoot the ball, and James was even more tightly guarded.

114 to 83, a difference of 31 points......

Liu Mang scored 41 points on 13-of-27 shooting, 40+ for the ninth time this season, and led the team to an easy victory.

Last season, Liu Mang only had 11 40+ times in the whole season, and he only played 31 games this season, and he has already 40+ 9 times, which is inseparable from Maddie's help, Maddie once again got a double-double data, 17 points and 10 assists, of which 4 times were directly passed to Liu Mang to score, that is, Maddie helped Liu Mang get no more than 10 points.

James was abused again, and the commentary on ESPN, which rarely broadcasts back-to-back games, is saying that James is too young, his teammates are not good, etc., as another player praised by ESPN, ESPN praised it even more strongly than when he praised Liu Mang before, after all, he is an American player.

Compared with James, the current Liu Mang is much stronger, Liu Mang is the kind of player who relies purely on the offensive end, that is, equivalent to the kind of heavy offense and light defense, can have an ability evaluation of 91, and James relies on the ability evaluation of 89 in all rounds.

The ability to ensure the team's lower limit, Liu Mang may not have the talent of James, but in terms of raising the team's ceiling, Liu Mang is too strong, and when the team's lineup is already stronger than James, Liu Mang is crushing James.

Seeing that James was sitting on the technical table after the game and refused to leave, Liu Mang came to James before leaving the court.

When James saw Liu Mang coming, a smile still appeared on his face.

"LeBron, I have always forgotten to tell you that it is a great thing to use your body, you are much better than Josh, he is the same physical as you, but he is far from closing you." Liu Mang said.

James didn't know why Liu Mang said this, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Both games were played so badly, even if the referee deliberately gave him more whistles, he couldn't help it, James had nothing to say now, he didn't actually think about anything when he sat on the technical table, and his head was empty.

"But ......"

Liu Mang said a but, which immediately attracted James's attention, and James asked, "But?" ”

Liu Mang pursed his lips and said: "But it's not enough to just use your body to break through and score counterattacks, I play differently from you, but I know that you are just as strong as you are now...... It makes me feel so boring to play against you, and I might as well play with Dwyan. ”

Communicating with James, Liu Mang felt that among all the players in the NBA, it may be the easiest, this guy has a very good personality.

This guy is a good guy, so help him......

Compared with Wade, who was assisted by O'Neal in the early stage, Liu Mang suddenly feels that it is so boring to abuse James like this! The guy who was supposed to be the first person in the future, of course, he had to be stronger.

Liu Mang turned around and left after speaking, no matter what James's understanding was, he was not much older than James, and unlike Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, people from the same country would have additional emotional bonuses in a foreign country, although the relationship was good, but it was not to the point where they could "point" each other.

Liu Mang knew at this time why Stockton and Jordan were so different when they pointed him out, Stockton really taught him as an apprentice, so he poured out his heart and lungs, and said directly where he didn't play well.

And Jordan, on his side, just treated him as a junior, saying that Liu Mang was his apprentice, but it may be due to his personality, Jordan, like Kobe, said things in a fog when he taught him, let Liu Mang experience it himself.

Liu Mang felt that he hadn't reached the point where he could say that he could give James "guidance", so he just mentioned this matter, specifically...... Anyway, James will one day become the first person in the league in the future, people have their own ways of progress, and in terms of the future, it seems that it is a very correct way to improve, and Liu Mang did not interfere.

I just want to give James a boost, otherwise the East will be too boring after O'Neal is old and before the formation of the Big Three.

The main thing is that James is really good, maybe James just wanted to create an image like him in people's eyes at first, but slowly, he really became the kind of person with a good personality.

Liu Mang rarely saw James arguing with the other party in the game, which made Liu Mang feel too boring, and he was slapped on the floor by Kwame Brown, and he just got up and made free throws......

Thinking of this, Liu Mang scolded again: is so strong, he deserves to be beaten and bleeding in the future.

……

……

Liu Mang was sleeping soundly, and a little Lori pushed his head: "Uncle! Get up! Dinah is hungry! ”

"Sleep a little longer...... Dinah, aren't you on vacation, why don't you sleep for a while......" Liu Mang turned over.

"Dinah is hungry, she wakes up hungry, she won't grow tall!"

“……”

"Uncle!"

"Alright, alright, get up." Liu Mang got up helplessly, and was pulled up by Xiao Lori in his pajamas to wash.

All of December's games were played, and the Hawks' record improved to 26-5.

With an easy December schedule, the Eagles are now in first place in the league!

The Suns, who are second in the league, are 26-7 in 33 games, and the Pistons are 26-6 in 32 games, with the Hawks temporarily leading both teams.

In addition to the Hawks, Suns, and Pistons, among the remaining 27 teams, only the SuperSonics, who are second in the West, are 24-9, and the Spurs and Heat have both lost 10 games, 23-10.

The top eight teams in the West are the Suns, SuperSonics, Spurs, Mavericks, Rockets, Kings, Grizzlies, and Lakers from highest to lowest.

The Lakers are gradually falling behind in the case of the old coach Tom Janovic's physical condition getting worse and worse, and he began to miss the game, of course, it has a lot to do with Kobe's inability to maintain his physical limitless style of play, and the Lakers are about to be overtaken by the Nuggets.

In the East, the top eight teams from high to low are the Hawks, Pistons, Heat, Bulls, Nets, 76ers, Wizards, and Pacers, with the Nets ranking third in the East because they are the first in the region.

After back-to-back games with the Cavaliers, the Hawks got two days off.

Liu Mang slept well after beating back-to-back, and it was almost nine o'clock at eight o'clock before he got up under the torture of Xiao Lori.

I simply fried two eggs, toasted a few slices of bread, took some lettuce and ham, and ate simply.

After breakfast, Dinah asked Kristen Wagner to drive her out to find Rashid Wallace's daughter to practice the guitar, I don't know when it started, little Lori's love for musical instruments, but every few days there is no enthusiasm, playing and changing again.

Liu Mang doesn't care, he will always find his favorite hobby.

……

After Liu Mang finished breakfast, he was ready to rest for a while and go to the open-air court in the backyard to train, the team did not train today, and the coaching staff was preparing for 15 games this month.

When Liu Mang was resting, he looked at the general scout report of the team plan for January that the coaching staff put in the wardrobe of each player after the game last night.

Before each game or each back-to-back, there is a scouting report from the scout at that time, but every month before the start of the game, there is a general scouting report.

Liu Mang looked at the schedule and felt cold in his heart.

There were only 15 games in January, and there were only two back-to-backs, but the 15-game opponents, with the exception of the Bobcats and Knicks, were all playoff teams!

Even the original Knicks were seen as playoff opponents, but the Suns, who were originally seen as opponents for the Hawks, became the second ...... in the league

The Hawks are now not only the most popular team in Chinese that needs to be used to pull ratings in February and March, but also the most popular team in the United States, Liu Mang himself plus Maddie's popularity, coupled with the Eagles' record and very good looks, is now the most popular duo in the league.

In the past, the Lakers pulled popularity in January, but now that the Lakers have collapsed, this matter has fallen to the Hawks.

Eight of the 15 games this month were broadcast live across the U.S. as a testament to that.

Three games against the Celtics, two games against the Magic, Rockets, Spurs, Suns, Nets, SuperSonics, Wizards, Heat, Kings......

Except for the Knicks and Bobcats, there is not a single game that is easy to play!

And the Bobcats have all won against the Hawks once, this team is poisonous!

It's what the Lakers are to the Cosmos......

The first opponent in January was the Knicks, and the No. 3 home game against the Knicks was not a threatening opponent, so the Hawks coaching staff had time to plan the game strategy of the next 14 opponents, and then do the pregame response training according to the latest scouting report of the scouts at that time.

……

The two-day break passed quickly, and on January 3, the Hawks hosted a game against the Knicks.

By the middle of the season, some teams have completely entered the numb stage, especially the more teams lose, the more numb they are, and the Knicks are like this.

Now it's useless for Larry Brown to scold, he signed a 5-year, 50 million contract with the Knicks, and thought he was going to show his talents, but now he has the highest salary among all coaches, has a 9-24 record, and competes with the Raptors for the third-to-last place in the East.

In this game with the Knicks, the Hawks played very relaxed throughout the game, but this time they didn't catch the Knicks and played very relaxed, and the point difference was always in the early 10s.

Marbury doesn't have much fighting spirit right now, because Larry Brown arrived a year early, and he got into that kind of situation where he clashed with the coaching staff a year early.

Crawford has become more and more "used to" after the Knicks are completely rotten, because he has been like this for the first four years with the Bulls......

Liu Mang played 38 minutes and had 36 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Maddy 21 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, Kwame Brown 12 points and 11 boards, Jason Terry 22 points, and the Hawks easily beat the Knicks 108-95.

It was easy to beat the Knicks, but it was only an appetizer in January, and the day after the Knicks, the Hawks flew to the South Coast, and the fat man was already.
