At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Lakers held a press conference at the Toyota Center Training Complex to officially announce Fisher's return to the Lakers and will wear the No. 2 jersey.

The Eagles train on the same training ground in the same arena, and the Eagles players are naturally the focus of interviews.

When asked about the impact of Fisher's return on the Lakers, Maddy's answer was official; Jason Terry's answer was dismissive, he had what Fisher had, and he had what Fisher didn't; Rasheed Wallace respects the 2000 Western Conference finals in the fourth quarter of the fourth game to shoot two key shots, a counterattack dunk and a three-pointer to help the Lakers seal the win and make the big score 3-1, that time it was not Fisher's key 5 points that allowed the Lakers to maintain a two-point lead in the last few minutes, and then the Trail Blazers, who pulled the big score from 1-3 to 3-3 in three consecutive games, are likely to win the series, it is worth mentioning that in the fourth game of the 2000 Western Conference finals, Fisher scored 7 points in the whole game... …

When the Eagles players were interviewed, the answers were very in line with their personalities, and most of them answered more officially, after all, this is a game that the world is watching, except for Jason Terry, who is afraid of everything, no one else's answers deliberately express too in-depth views on this matter.

And to Liu Mang......

Liu Mang looked at the reporter of the Sports Illustrated, showed a honey smile, and when the reporter of the Sports Illustrated reporter felt hairy, he replied: "Fisher is back on the Lakers, which is a great thing, especially for Kobe, he must be happy, right?" With Fisher, he can finally make the playoffs this year, and you know, without Fisher, Kobe Bryant hasn't played the playoffs yet, and he has found a thick thigh to hold. ”

The reporter of "......" Sports Illustrated originally thought about a lot of questions, and wanted to use them to guide Liu Mang to say something that would make headlines.

Who knew that Liu Mang would actually say such a thing!

The reporters at Sports Illustrated didn't know how to continue chatting!

This angle is too weird!

The reporter of Sports Illustrated called the editor-in-chief, and when the editor-in-chief of Sports Illustrated received the content of the interview sent back, he hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to make the headline of the noon edition of the news!

……

……

On January 1, 2006, US time, the first game of the NBA New Year, the Hawks' away game against the Lakers was getting closer and closer in the expectation of 6 billion Lakers fans around the world.

The Hawks practiced pick-and-roll tactics in the morning and regular season tactics in the afternoon, and after opening an interview about the Fisher trade in the morning, the Eagles turned down all interviews, closing the doors to the training ground and not letting the content of the training session be exposed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang rested for an hour in the away team lounge at the Staples Center, and Kobe's wife Vanessa was responsible for taking Liu Mang's family to the Staples Center to watch the game today.

Lakers owner Jerry Buss has more insight than the Clippers, giving Liu Mang a box and four sideline tickets, the highest single-game score in the history of this arena is Liu Mang's go, Jerry Buss doesn't want to make a fuss.

After receiving his family, Liu Mang ate a nutritious meal with the team, and began to warm up at five o'clock, and at six forty o'clock, that is, at ten forty o'clock in China, the players of the two teams began to enter.

As a team that has defeated the Lakers in the Finals, the Hawks received a large number of boos from the fans when they entered, but this time the Staples Center Arena was a little different, with 30% of the fans being Chinese fans and fans from other parts of Asia and Chinese Americans, most of whom supported both the Lakers and the Hawks because both teams had Chinese players.

When Liu Mang watched his teammates go out in the players' tunnel, there was a mixture of boos and cheers, and he felt that the Staples Center Arena was very friendly today.

Maddie, Prince, Kwame Brown, and Rashid Wallace all received cheers and boos at the same time when they went out, and Liu Mang felt good, and in the deep voice of the live DJ, Liu Mang followed out of the players' tunnel.

And then......

The audience was booed!

Liu Mang almost slipped his foot!

Liu Mang looked at the fans wearing his jerseys, and also joined in the fun, booing him with those Los Angeles fans who hated him!

Liu Mang's mouthful of old blood was blocked in his throat!

By the time the Lakers players came out, the boos immediately turned into cheers.

The first to come out was Yao Ming, as the second leader of the team, he was the first to come out, then Luke Wharton, Odom, and the fourth to come out, Derek Fisher.

When Fisher came out, the fans stood up, and finally had a reliable point guard, and Smush Parker played more than 30 games as a starter, and almost killed Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming several times.

By the time Kobe Bryant was the last to appear, Liu Mang felt Kobe's strong murderous aura.

The news headline of the afternoon edition of the first day of the new year of Sports Illustrated, Kobe Bryant saw it!

Since yesterday afternoon, Kobe and Yao Ming knew that the trade with the Warriors was about to be completed, so they waited for Fisher to return to Los Angeles at Yao Ming's house.

As for why Bryant didn't wait for Fisher at his own house......

In the face of Kobe's murderous aura, Liu Mang chose to ignore it and went up to greet Fisher.

After this season, Derrick Fisher, who is about to succeed Antonio Davis as the president of the players' association, is very popular and sleek, and hugged Liu Mang and Maddie.

Fisher now has a very good impression of Liu Mang, the sentence "Kobe Bryant can't enter the playoffs without Fisher", although he doesn't respond, but he agrees!

Liu Mang ignored the murderous Kobe Bryant and Fisher after greeting him, and came to Yao Ming: "Da Yao, your contract expires after playing this year, you haven't renewed your contract yet, do you want to come to our team?" I'd love to be teammates with you. ”

"I don't want to go to a small place like Atlanta, I grew up in a big city, you know Shanghainese? Of course, you have to live in the best city, should you consider coming to Los Angeles? Yao Ming immediately fought back.

"Cut ......" Liu Mang found that Yao Ming's mouth was really good, and he deserved to be the future boss of the Basketball Association.

Coach Kruger, with his shiny head and a gray-haired Zen master, is already being compared as two of only three active managers who have won the defending title.

The head coach who can win three consecutive championships, except for the cardinal of the Celtics, is the Zen master, and the Zen master does not want a third person to get it, and Coach Kruger is the most promising head coach to become the third head coach to win three consecutive championships.

The smell of gunpowder was strong from the very beginning of the game.

After Liu Mang finished greeting, he began to carefully observe the ability evaluation of the opposing player.

Focus on the object, Yao Ming!

"Yao Ming, Ability Evaluation 94, Offense 96, Defense 87, Three-point 61, Shooting 90, Layup 98, Speed 70, Power 99......"

Yao Ming has reached the peak of this season!

If it weren't for some obvious flaws, such as too slow speed, which limited his help defense to the three-second zone, and the relative disadvantage of dealing with front wrapping and pick-and-roll, he would have been a superstar!

averaged 23 points, 11 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game, although it was not as amazing as the average of 25 points and 10 boards per game after playing 36 minutes per game after crazy weight gain in the original time and space, but the weight gain and playing time reduction were not so excessive, which also prevented Yao Ming from suffering injuries early.

Kobe Bryant, the ability evaluation of 99, the first person in the active team, Odom, the ability evaluation hovers between 80-95, about 85 under normal circumstances, and averages 13 points, 10 boards and 6 assists per game this season, and it feels very relaxed when he gets it, which is the X factor of the Lakers.

Luke Wharton, with an ability rating of 77, averaged 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and is an excellent triangle offensive playmaker.

Derrick Fisher, with an ability rating of 77, shoots well, and is very stable on the dribble over the half, but his speed and defense are not as good as before, after all, in the tenth year of his career, many top stars and even superstars have collapsed by the tenth season.

Wang Zhizhi, with an ability evaluation of 74, is a high-quality role player at his peak, can play as a starter on a weak team, and it is not bad to play an interior third man in the Lakers, both center and power forward can play, and he averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game this season, and his three-point ability evaluation has reached the level of 85 first-class goalkeepers, with a 41 percent three-point shooting rate.

In addition, the best substitute for the Lakers is Chris Meeme, the 26-year-old white big center has improved a little this year, with a 73 ability evaluation, and then there is Luke Wharton's substitute Devin George, Devin George's performance has recovered a little this season, since the Lakers won three consecutive championships in 2002, he got a 4-year 18.7 million full middle class, and began to decline sharply, putting the Lakers in a middle-class crisis, and in this season's contract year, the 28-year-old should have recovered some form in Devin George, Restored to 70 capacity evaluations.

The Lakers have more than 70 players with an ability evaluation, a total of 8, the bench lineup is relatively weak, the drug combination has just been formed, many veterans were suspicious of the Lakers last summer, the Lakers have not picked up a lot of cheap players like the Spurs, and the Lakers' own draft has been quite average.

The Lakers frontcourt is very good, the starters and benches are okay, but in the backcourt, Kobe's substitute Vujacic has an ability evaluation of 63...... Fisher's replacement, Vaughn Weaver, has an ability rating of 59......

Liu Mang felt that this was their chance!

Guard line!

Especially point guards!

……

"CCTV, CCTV, this is the 2006 New Year's game brought to you by CCTV Sports Channel for the Atlanta Hawks away against the Los Angeles Lakers......"

“Beat-LA……”

"Charles, you're enough!"

"This is the first meeting of the season between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks that is being broadcast live on ESPN Sports, and I'm Brin and I'm going to talk about the game today......"

“……”

“……”

The three major television stations in the United States, the sports television stations of major European countries, the imperial court television, the television stations of some Asian countries, and the television stations of South America, North America, and a very small number of African television stations...... More than 50 countries and regions around the world broadcast the game live.

In the opening introduction of the commentators of major TV stations, the game between the Hawks and the Lakers is about to begin.

Maddie and Kobe Bryant argued with the referee at the technical table whether the ball with more gas would play with a crisper sound or the ball with less gas would be more comfortable to pass.

This is the case where there are superstars on both sides, and there is more than one superstar, and the referee chooses the ball that meets the rules.

Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air amid cheers and boos, and played with Maddie.

The Hawks sent Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rashid Wallace, Kwame Brown.

The Lakers sent Fisher, Kobe, Luke Wharton, Odom, Yao Ming.

Fisher is back, the atmosphere of the Lakers is much more lively, Kobe Bryant is not the kind of character who will go to greet each other after the live camera starts, neither is Odom, Yao Ming is not suitable, a big center, Smush Parker and Luke Wharton are not qualified for that.

But Fisher returned, and the Lakers opening became normal, and Fisher came up to say hello to every Hawks starter.

This surprised the fans at the scene and in front of the TV, and the relationship between the Lakers and the Hawks did not seem so bad.

The relationship between the Hawks and the Lakers is delicate, and the relationship between the players of the two teams is also wonderful.

Overall, the lineups of both teams are very traditional, with fixed positions, and the traditional teams that can guarantee the position have begun to gradually decrease, leaving only those teams with top interior lines, and still stubbornly maintaining the tradition.

Of course, because the peak of a certain No. 21 player who always likes to touch other people's heads will last for a long time, and it will not really end in 2014, when the era of fixed positions is fixed.

At eight o'clock sharp, the referee came to the center circle, and Yao Ming and Kwame Brown were ready to jump the ball.

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air, where Kwame Brown bounced quickly and flicked the ball back from Yao Ming's head.

Liu Mang received the ball and started to attack quickly!

Fisher rushed up to block Liu Mang in the middle line, Liu Mang easily changed direction horizontally, and threw Fisher away, and at this time Kobe Bryant had already posted up.

Liu Mang changed direction again, but Kobe Bryant's single defense was very good, his lateral movement speed was fast, and his body was strong, blocking Liu Mang's front.

Fisher didn't block Liu Mang, and immediately switched to Prince, and followed Prince to the bottom corner.

The Lakers' defensive discipline is very good!

People have the impression of Phil Jackson's team as a god-level player and a top star in the thigh triangle attack, ignoring that he was an excellent defensive assistant coach and his team was extremely good defensively in championship years.

Kobe Bryant wanted to use an oppressive defense to force Liu Mang to pass, although Liu Mang was also powerful without the ball, but the offense with the ball made the Lakers more fearful.

However, Liu Mang did not pass the ball to Maddie who faced Luke Wharton, but beckoned Kwame Brown to come out to block the dismantle!

At this time, Rashid Wallace pulled Odom out of the bottom right corner, and Yao Ming could only follow Kwame Brown out.

Liu Mang borrowed Kwamei Brown's block to break through from the right side, and when he rushed to the right side of the free throw line, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and made a move to the top arc, and Kobe Bryant could only immediately pounce back to block Kwamei Brown's empty cut.

At the same time, Luke Wharton, who was originally going to come up to pinch Liu Mang, could only catch up because Maddie ran towards the top arc, and did not come to pinch him.

The romance of big-handed players, the people who cut the air and the people who block the air cut don't understand, Liu Mang's pass is a feint! Grab the ball and take three big strides towards the basket, throw Yao Ming away easily, jump on the third step, and put the ball into the basket with a gentle split!

The Eagles take the lead!

Today's Eagles' strategy is to use Yao Ming to prevent and dismantle!
