After the loss to the Celtics, the Hawks' record changed to 53-20.

The April schedule starts on the 1st, with a race every other day, and from the 1st to the 17th, there are races on every single day.

It's not difficult to say that the schedule is difficult, there is no back-to-back, and it is not easy to say that it is easy, and it is just a little pressure to prepare for the playoffs.

The 9 opponents are the Bucks, Knicks, Wizards, Pacers, Bucks, Celtics, Nets, Cavaliers, Bulls, in addition to the Wizards, Bulls, and Cavaliers, several other opponents are quite difficult, especially the Nets after the Celtics.

That's the key to sniping the Nets in the playoffs, losing to the Celtics first and then taking out the Nets.

At the same time, to be on the safe side, you can't lose the other 7 games to have a chance to get 60 wins, and you have to win at least 5 games to get 58 wins to break the team's all-time winning record.

It's like a real knockout game, and Coach Kruger didn't mention the rest of the last regular season team meeting at the end of the season on March 31, but he asked to win all five games before playing the Celtics on April 11! Play like you would in the playoffs!

The overall core of the Eagles, except for the addition of Liu Mang and Ratliffe's health, is generally similar to last year.

Last year, the Hawks' interior core in the first half of the game was Mutombo, and then they traded the younger Ratliff, who was already out for the season at that time, but if it weren't for that, the Hawks really wouldn't have traded Ratlleaf.

At that time, Ratliff was 27 years old, ranked first on the block list, and had just been selected as an All-Star starter, and the fans chose the kind, which must have been stronger at that time, but Mutombo was only two years younger than Jordan, he was 35 at the time, and this was Mutombo's own estimate, he looked older than that, who knows how many years he could keep in shape, at that time, the Hawks were in the second half of the playoffs, wanted to make changes, and also pasted the first-round pick in 2001 that had no talent before trading the reimbursed Ratliff back.

In addition to moving a little slower than Mutombo, Ratliff is about the same as last season before Mutombo was traded.

Therefore, the Hawks' starting lineup knows how to play in the playoffs, and the tacit understanding has also been cultivated in the regular season ahead.

Although Liu Mang has never played in the playoffs, he has never seen a pig run or eaten pork, just play what he is good at!

To put it simply, the playoffs are those who can play their own strong points, and they have a chance of winning!

……

On April 1, the Hawks hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.

In the contradiction between Glenn Robinson, the big dog, yelling that I want to renew his contract, how is Ray Allen's contract bigger than me, and Ray Allen's accusation that the big dog is not active in training, playing alone, and knowing the contract year data, it is not for nothing that the Bucks are gradually moving away from the playoffs this season in a good situation where the 76ers and Raptors are collapsing.

A team of three top-notch players, three scorers who average 20+ per game put together, and the result is only ninth in the East.

The main reason is that Glenn Robinson died himself, when he was drafted by the Bucks as the No. 1 pick in 1994, in that era when the rules were not sound, he insisted on 10 years of "maximum salary", and the maximum salary in 1994...... More than 3 million, according to the expected salary increase at the time, he initially asked for 100 million in 13 years, and finally signed a 10-year 68 million.

At that time, Pippen's seven-year, 21 million contract was similar to that situation.

Who knew that just a year later, NBA income skyrocketed again, the top salary directly doubled, and after another two years, 100 million yuan contracts have been flying all over the sky.

By now, Glenn Robinson is watching Ray Allen, who signed a new contract in '99, already have a higher salary than him this season, so Glenn Robinson is clamoring for a salary increase, and Ray Allen is getting worse and worse.

Glenn Robinson is also not old, 29 years old, born in 1973, is in his prime, and he can still average 21 points per game when he has Kassel, a teammate who averages just 20 points per game, and Ray Allen, a teammate who averages 22 points per game, proving that he is still strong.

But when his contract expired in 2004, he would be 31 years old.

The same is true of Kidd, who signed a nine-year, 54 million ......

However, Kidd doesn't eat physical fitness and doesn't eat the ball, Glenn Robinson is different, his style of play relies on physical fitness, he can rely on bounce to fire everywhere inside and outside the three-point line, and there are many offensive skills on the inside, but they all rely on physical fitness.

And I like to clock in and out, and after getting 20 points, I will be lazy.

It's a bit difficult for Glenn Robinson to get a big contract at the age of 31, and only fellow drinking buddy Vic has done it.

In this game, the Hawks played fiercely when they came up, and the gap in strength between the Bucks and the internal contradictions obviously couldn't withstand it.

After Liu Mang came up to scare Ray Allen, the Bucks could only rely on Glenn Robinson to play on the offensive end, but Raheem's defense was not vegetarian, and the big dog also withered today.

Teammates are ferocious, Liu Mang seized the opportunity to continue to break through the basket to make kills, and narrowly increased his personal score to 20 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, because he had broken the opponent, and in the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Hawks had led the opponent by 20 points, 91-71.

The final score was 109-91, and the Hawks played a beautiful game with ferocious offense and defense, showing the difference in strength between the first and ninth in the East!

Jason Terry, who entered playoff mode, was really scary, scoring 7 three-pointers in a single game, scoring 35 points in a single game, and whenever the Bucks showed the slightest sign of wanting to fight back, he would stand up and press the opponent to death with a three-pointer.

Although the opponent may be a little weaker, Liu Mang still saw the shadow of the jet that swept the Lakers with one hand.

It seems that at the time of the hammer to the Lakers, Jason Terry and each were 34 years old, and now 24 is not yet 25......

……

……

The Hawks' brutal victory over the Bucks made New Yorkers feel a smell of blood, and New Yorkers who like to watch the excitement gather at Madison Square Garden again.

The rookie who scored 50 points in the basketball Mecca is here again!

It's so simple to be the darling of New York, New York's fans and media have never been all the way, even some of the media and the media are not all the way, and the big cities of the rich are always so strange that people can't understand them.

Some New York media advertised Liu Mang as a demon, and some touted him like Jeremy Lin to beat Lin out of Lin's crazy period, at this time, the Internet was not very developed, and there was no influence in the world because of that 50+ blow, but Liu Mang is already very popular in New York, the same kind of half and half popularity, some love him, and some black him.

But when Liu Mang came to New York, his popularity exploded!

In the last game in Knicks history against rookie Ace Liu, the Knicks sold the second highest ticket price this season after the Lakers' away game against Maddison, and the scalpers went crazy about it.

James Dolan has made another big profit.

The weak team is always contradictory, and the strong team is always united...... OK combinations don't count.

Because winning can cover up all contradictions, and losing will come with any problems.

The closer to the playoffs, if it is not for the bad team, the contradictions caused by their records will become more and more prominent, just like the Bucks, when they were still wandering back and forth in the playoffs before, the internal contradictions of the Bucks were not so serious, and now that the Bucks have been "sitting" for the ninth month, they have broken out any contradictions.

And New York is a magical place, not only are there many contradictions within the team, the Trail Blazers will be known as the Trail Blazers prison in the next few years, and it is good to think about the prison, and the Knicks' next name will be ...... Star Grave ......

From the moment the Hawks vs. Knicks game even began, the magic of this place in New York came, and when Alan Houston came out, the whole audience was booed!

This treatment is the same as Ewing, who was abused by the Spurs in the Finals due to injury in the 1999 Finals, and returned the next year with an average of only 15+9 per game, Alan Houston's performance made fans dissatisfied and began to be booed.

On the contrary, it was the Hawks' side, especially when Liu Mang, the player who played his best performance of the season at Madison Square Garden, came to the court to warm up, and the whole audience was cheering!

A large number of fans chanted "We want Ace", which gave Liu Mang a feeling of "home".

It's not a backlash, it's directly solicited in person.

Looking at the posture of New Yorkers who are stupid and have more money, more life and better, and everyone comes together to support the elderly, Liu Mang said...... When the master becomes an old man, can he get a big contract when he wants to retire?

In such an environment, the Hawks are as competitive as they are at home, and the Knicks have long been demoralized, plus the previous three games against the Hawks all failed miserably, and they were scored 50 points by a rookie, so they have long had no heart to resist.

And so, a massacre came.

137-101, the Hawks bloodied the Knicks on the road by 36 points.

This is still after the Eagles did not defend themselves, and the difference was too scary.

The Eagles don't know if this game is a record, Liu Mang scored 31 points, and finally officially broke through his average score per game of 20, and now averages 20.1 points per game! Jason Terry scored 30 points, Raheem 33 points, and the trio combined for 94 points!

The Knicks have no resistance and don't want to resist anymore, and they don't have the feeling of wanting to win at first, wanting revenge, and wanting to play with their lives after the first three times they played against the Hawks.

……

……

The Hawks all three scored at least 30 points to beat the Knicks, which did not shock the league, but also made many fans who were not impressed by the Hawks look sideways.

Admittedly, it is recognized that no team in the East can pose much of a threat to the three big men in the West right now.

But in this game, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Raheem combined to score 94 points, and all three of them scored 30+, becoming the third time since Oscar Robertson, Wayne Embrey, and Jack Tweeman of the Cincinnati Royals in the 1960-1961 season, and Isaiah Rydell, Brian Grant, and Arvidas Sabonis of the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1997-1998 season, the NBA appeared for the third time, and the three on the same team scored 30+!

I can't talk about the record or anything, and the two teams that appeared twice before didn't get any big honors.

But it looks like a mouthful! In particular, several opponents of the Hawks next rushed to a deep despair......

……

……

Wizards, Old Man Qiao didn't play the rest of the regular season, and said to Liu Mang with a smile in a suit that he would go to his training camp in the summer, and then he would be allowed to get close to the two old men in Utah, otherwise he wouldn't want to learn anything from him in the future.

Liu Mang looked at the basketball god with a smile on his face but still so competitive, and said that he must go to him first.

Then Old Man Joe was satisfied...... Looking at Zhuang Yuanlang, he can't jump the ball now.

This is really miserable!

Kwame Brown's self-confidence has completely collapsed, and Jordan has scolded him so much that he doesn't want to scold, which makes Kwame Brown feel that the last hope is gone, and he is confused on the court and off the court......

Without Old Man Joe, even the previous Juwan Howard or something would have been traded away, if it weren't for Richard Hamilton's great improvement, the Wizards would not even be as strong as last season's No. 1 pick, but Old Man Joe didn't play, Hamilton improved, and it was about the same strength as when he got the No. 1 pick last season.

Do you still need to watch the Eagles game? Waking up is another big win.

115-103, the Hawks won three straight games against the Wizards at home.

Liu Mang followed the eldest brother and second brother to eat meat, and scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting.

When leaving the field, Liu Mang unexpectedly saw Kwamei Brown at the entrance of the opponent's player's passage, looking at his face with a little resentment, but he was powerless to fight against Jordan's champion brother, Liu Mang was very surprised that this champion brother seemed to have a little bit of heart.

Liu Mang thought about it carefully, this champion brother seems to have played an average of 10+7 per game in the second year after Jordan retired in 03, or as a substitute, and the media and professionals voted for him in the award of Best Sixth Man, of course, he lost to Jamison, who averaged 14+6 per game.

Then the unlucky champion Lang was injured again the next year, and after recovering from the injury, he was traded to the Lakers, and then met a guy similar to Jordan......

Wait a minute!

Liu Mang looked at Kwame Brown, who disappeared into the tunnel of the opposing players......

If he hadn't met Jordan and Kobe Bryant successively, Zhuangyuanlang seemed to have room for rescue!

Wow!

What kind of ripple effect would be triggered to "rescue" a guy who had been called the top parallel trader for 12 years and was the best in history until Ben Nate came along until 2013?

Not to mention, if Kwame Brown can live up to his talent, let alone become a superstar, with his future single-defense ability, it is possible to defend the iron gate inside, right?

Liu Mang returned to the locker room and was thinking about what chips he needed to trade Kwame Brown while doing physiotherapy?

In the past two years, when Jordan was still an executive officer of the Wizards, he would definitely not trade for the sake of face, and in the 03-04 season, Kwame Brown played a 10+7 season, allowing him to only play 34 games due to injury in the 04-05 season, and was also traded by the Wizards from the Lakers to Caron Butler, a potential new star.

That said, the best time to trade is the summer after Jordan was fired by the Wizards!
