: One thousand and fifty-four. Wild Christmas Eve is coming!

Liu Mang knows more about the NBA than anyone now.
Before the 2008 Celtics Big Three in the original time and space started the holding group mode, the NBA has been a model of competing for a long time.
The Big Four of the Lakers did not make the holding group popular. A 41-year-old veteran and a 36-year-old veteran did not give the feeling of holding a group at that time. Liu Mang also experienced it personally. People joined Peyton and Malone in the Lakers. The team is regarded as the two of them "hugging thighs".
So before 2008, dozens of winning streak was very rare. The original time and space in the Rockets 22 wins that time, at first people thought that the Rockets Yao Mai group really rose, who knows that there are injuries in a row.
However, in the post-2010 era of superstars, because many teams no longer have top stars, some teams do not even have first-class stars, for super teams, sometimes winning streak comes particularly easy.
After the 73 victory over the Warriors, the start was more than 20 consecutive victories, the result ...
On December 24th, after a night of rest in Phoenix, the Hawks were preparing for the Christmas fight against the Suns at the rented college arena.
A 24-game winning streak is definitely a good thing for Liu Mang. Why not take a 24-game winning streak, and teammates' confidence in three consecutive championships has skyrocketed.
But Liu Mang clearly felt that his teammates had become complacent.
I felt it when I played the Bobcats in the last game. The shots were very random. Fortunately, the team had a good defensive discipline and beat the Bobcats with no surprises.
In fact, Liu Mang has already felt the pride of the team.
Playing the Suns tomorrow, the Hawks are still very serious in training, but the atmosphere is not as tense as when they started the Heat at the beginning of the season, and the mentality is very relaxed.
This made Liu Mang feel a very complicated mood. Everyone in the team has the right to shoot, and everyone has hope, which is very good for the team's enthusiasm.
The relaxed atmosphere also allows them to have a better mentality to prepare for the game, and they can also run boldly in the game. The second-year bench players dare to assume the role of attackers, and the role players dare to vote, allowing them to The tactics are better.
But it also made Liu Mang feel that his teammates no longer have any opponents in their eyes.
After the tactical training, Liu Mang practiced a mid-range shot, and McGrady, Korver, Barry, Horry, Jason Terry, Calderon, and Korver were also training one to two groups. Shooting.
This makes Liu Mang feel more contradictory, and his teammates are seriously improving themselves.
After the training, the teammates went back to the hotel one after another.
Phoenix is ​​a famous face-saving city. The city is more gorgeously built than Los Angeles, but the economy is getting worse. Now the economically developed, except New York, Los Angeles, and Houston, most of the other cities are booming in network technology, and Phoenix This tourist city is not a tourist city, agricultural city is not an agricultural city, and the industrial city is also a semi-hanging. The once glorious fourth largest city in the west. In the past year, Phoenix ’s GDP is not as good as Detroit ’s 30 NBA The team's shrinking ranking in the city, the Suns are only ranked 19th, lower than Detroit and San Antonio, and there is not much to let the Eagles players play, plus the players have brought their families, tonight is safe At night, I went back to the hotel to go with my family.
Liu Mang and McGrady finally left, and said to McGrady with some uneasiness: "Tracy, do you think we have been too relaxed recently?"
"Of course," McGrady asked strangely: "We have been winning! Of course it's easy, what happened to Ace?"
Liu Mang feels that he may be more conscious, and his sense of crisis may be too strong.
Having seen the 27-game winning streak, the Heat was almost overturned by the Spurs, and the Warriors had started a 24-game winning streak with 73 wins but failed to win the championship. Liu Mang was very conscious of the crisis and paid attention to this aspect.
Liu Mang began to change his style of play, initially because he had a strong sense of crisis.
"It's okay, I think we are too relaxed, come to my house for dinner? My mother made a big dinner tonight." Liu Mang invited him.
"Cool! Although the dishes made by my aunt are heavy, I like them very much. I will pick up my wife and come to your house in a while." Big cousin won't miss the opportunity to take advantage.
"Okay, I'll go back first. See you at night."
...
...
Christmas Eve, Christmas, one of the most important festivals in the United States.
In the past four to six Christmas Wars each year, half of the eight or twelve teams that played against each other complained about why they had to go all the way to play Christmas Wars.
But now, the league gives them rest, and those players still feel weird.
However, only four teams participated in the Christmas War this year, and it was already determined when the schedule was announced in September.
At five in the afternoon, the Hawks and Suns' Christmas Wars started first. At eight, the Heat and Lakers Christmas Wars followed a half-hour break from broadcasting advertisements to the TV station and some basketball programs, and then continued.
Both games are high-profile games.
The Hawks have not lost one game so far this season, 24 wins and 0 losses, the Suns are not as wild as last season, playing 29 games, 20 wins and 9 losses, ranking third in the West.
To the east, in addition to the Hawks' first record and victory, the next best record is the Heat, winning 7 losses, the third is the Pistons, 18 wins and 10 losses, the fourth is the 76ers 15 wins and 14 losses, fifth He is a Cavaliers, 16 wins and 12 losses, sixth is the Bulls, 15 wins and 13 losses, seventh Wizards, 15 wins and 14 losses, eighth Pacers, 16 wins and 16 losses.
The ninth Bucks got Joe Johnson, but it has improved, although Bogut is not good, but it is not water, the pass of the champion, together with Joe Johnson and Reed, played 14 wins and 16 losses Has a chance to make the playoffs.
But the rest of the team is almost in a collective slump. The Eastern Conference played for two months. The top eight barely reached a 50% win rate. The Magic and Celtics teams completely collapsed.
The Knicks in the bottom row only won 5 games, 5 wins and 24 losses, the bottom of the league.
In fact, the penultimate is not terrible. This year ’s draft has an Italian version of Nowitzki that has made many bad teams look forward to, but the key is that the Knicks have already taken the 2006 draft in the Marbury trade. The rights transaction is out, and it is still unprotected!
The Bulls provided space for the Knicks ’junk contract in that transaction and got this first-round draft pick. There was no expectation. It is expected to be in the middle of the first round. After all, the 03-04 season Knicks are still a strong playoff team. Unexpectedly, now, it has become the top pick for top picks!
At the 2006 Draft, the current argument is a super draft year.
The 2003 draft squeezed out the five most promising rookies, the 2004 draft squeezed out the combat power, in 2005 the last four point guards were squeezed out and the last group of high school students rookies were taken away, no What talent is left for the NCAA this season.
The labor negotiations between the offseason just passed and how smooth it was. The league is now making money. Players are holding a 53% share of the total income. They passed the five-year agreement with little debate. From the summer of 2006 Effective, until 2011, there is no need to worry about the lockout.
But when the summer labor agreement was negotiated, the NBA officially introduced a new rule that refused high school students to participate in the NBA draft. At least one year in college or one year after high school graduation can participate in the NBA draft.
Therefore, Kevin Durant, Greg Oden, Mike Conley, who were going to participate in the draft in 2006, and OJ Mayo, who is only the third year of the new season but is the first high school student in the United States, are all gone. The possibility of entering the NBA early has made the 2006 draft hardly interesting.
Originally in the summer of 2006, it was a year full of talents for high school students. With Garnett, Kobe, O'Neal, McGrady, Kwame Brown, James, Howard, Josh Smith and other high school students entering the NBA. Purple as a pioneer, many talented high school students have promised to join the NBA in 2006, but the NCAA suggested that the NBA introduced a rule that suddenly turned the highly anticipated 2006 draft into a talent-exhausted draft.
Of course, from the current view of the players in the NCAA in the new season, Liu Mang knows that there are many outstanding stars this year.
But Super Junior does not mean that no team is rotten, but because it is a super young, it becomes even crazier!
At this stage of the season, the management of some teams has clearly understood the strength of their own team. For example, the boss of Joe, he is sure that the team will continue to slap, Bo Nowitzki, Italy.
As early as 2003, when 18-year-old Andrea Bargnani led the Twisso Bernard team to defeat the Nets at the time Kidd was missing in the NBA preseason European game, Andri Ya-Bagnani has become famous in the United States.
Similar to Nowitzki's play style, soft touch, excellent shooting ability, although weak and insufficient explosive power, but can play outside speed and flexibility, just like the copy of Nowitzki.
Liu Mang remembers that in the original time and space, the Bulls got the Knicks ’2006 unprotected draft pick, got the No. 2 pick, and sold them to the Blazers cheaply, because they ca n’t look down on anything other than Bargnani. Anyone running for election in 2006.
Sometimes it ’s not that the draft year is when the team is rotten. In this extreme draft year, there is a player who looks talented enough to meet the future. Instead, some teams are more active.
Because except for the top pick, the other draft picks seem useless. Since they can't make the playoffs, it's better to fight Bagnani.
Joe's boss saw that Okafor hadn't made much progress in the second grade, and he didn't have enough offense to defend. Therefore, if he wants to choose another inside scoring ability, Bargnani is the best choice.
However, the Bobcats are rotten and the market value becomes lower. For the current Joe boss, it is a good thing. He has a greater chance of buying the Bobcats completely, and it is cheaper.
In the West, the Spurs are 24-5, leading the way in the West. The second Mavericks are 20-8, and are fiercely competing with the Suns for second place in the West.
The Supersonics ranked fourth in the West with 18 wins and 10 losses in the Northwest Division. The Lakers ranked fifth in the West with 19 wins and 9 losses. The Clippers continued to perform well and ranked sixth in the West with 17 wins and 13 losses.
The first five are very stable. From the sixth Clippers to the eleventh Pelicans, the winning percentage has reached 50%. For the three playoff seats, they have now entered a fierce competition.
In addition to the Spurs and Supersonics, the first and fourth are as stable as dogs. Nine of the top 11 teams in the West are in fierce battle.
Wild West ... The point is, because of Liu Mang's relationship, the Pistons and Wizards stars also want to go to the West ...
...
The 24-game winning eagle has always dominated the headlines. Some fans want to see them continue their winning streak, and some fans hope that the team can end their winning streak.
But the Hawks' schedule for the first two months was too easy. The Hawks felt invincible!
Invincible than the previous two years!
116.5 points per game, 102.5 points per game, 14 points difference, too exaggerated!
Liu Mang's average of 32 points, 5.5 rebounds and 10 assists per game is also exaggerated. If Kobe Bryant averaged 35.5 points and James averaged 32.4 points, Liu Mang was second in scoring and assists.
The Hawks have four 15+ players per game this season. McGrady averaged .5 points, 4 rebounds and 7.5 assists. Jason Terry averaged 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Kwame Brown averaged 16.5 points and 12.7 rebounds. The scorer is so strong!
Finally, in the Christmas War, there is a team that can play against the Hawks.
With an average of 111 points per game, the Suns, second in the league, give hope to fans who want to see the Hawks lose.
On Christmas morning, Liu Mang went to the hotel to meet the team early, team meeting, tactical training, noon team held a luncheon, invited all the family members of the team members, and had a Christmas party together.
Of course, the players simply eat and eat. The main players are the girlfriends or wives of the players.
When Liu Mang took a break in the afternoon, he had been studying the Suns.
Losing the ball to make teammates feel less relaxed? Liu Mang does not do this kind of thing, can win, of course, must strive to win!
Who does n’t want a 33-game winning streak!
Rather than take the initiative to defeat, it is better to go all out in each game, wait until the opponent really loses, and then talk about it.
Now Liu Mang's goal is to go for a 33-game winning streak.
Liu Mang didn't pay much attention to the Suns before. The main thing is to know that they don't have threats in the playoffs. Last year's Suns were already the pinnacle of their regular season, and this season has fallen a lot.
There are many reasons for the decline of the Suns record. The most important reason is that Liu Mang feels that Stoudemire's reimbursement for the season and the departure of Joe Johnson.
Although the performance of Dior and Laga Bell made up for the lack of Stoudemire and Joe Johnson, it also made Stoudemire appear "dispensable" in the Suns. Tadmaier's strength prejudice started at this time. There was a feeling that Nash could give the team a few people and Nash would lead the team to 60 wins.
However, it is true to say that Nash can get 50 wins and 60 wins with just a few people. Nash has averaged 19 points per game this season, a career high, and 11 assists per game.
After taking a good rest, Liu Mang went to the lobby where his teammates were, preparing to go to the American West Arena to warm up. It was almost two o'clock, and he could practice shooting early.
When we got to the lobby, we found that our teammates were around the computer again.
this is……
Before Liu Mang asked, Kwame Brown said excitedly to Liu Mang: "Boss Ace, I got more votes than O'Neill on the first day!"
Liu Mang remembered that yesterday, there was no game in the NBA, the All-Star voting began, but he did not care too much, he was properly selected for the All-Star, but did not expect that Kwame Brown won more votes than O'Neill!
Liu Mang seemed to see O'Neal running away from the Lakers tonight ...
"Brother Yao! Come on!" Liu Mang sent a blessing to Yao Ming, and then gathered up to see the first day's votes.
The first-day ticket winner was Yao Ming, who got 190,000 votes on the first day.
The second is Liu Mang ’s 170,000 votes on the first day, ranking first on the first day.
The second in the west is Kobe with 150,000 votes, and the second in the east is McGrady with 140,000 votes.
But Kwame Brown pressed O'Neill's 70,000 votes with 130,000 votes!
Kwame Brown really got the popularity!
McGrady and James were both placed in the forward position this time, afraid of affecting James and Iverson's selection to the All-Star starting. The temporary All-Star starting in the east is Liu Mang, Iverson, McGrady, James, Kwame Brown.
The west is temporarily Kobe, Nash, Duncan, Garnett, Yao Ming.
Three nail households in the east and four nail households in the west ~ EbookFREE.me ~ continue to occupy the All-Star starting position.
For a while together, the Hawks players got on the bus and went to the American West Arena together to prepare for the evening game.
Liu Mang looked at the very prosperous street outside the window, and there were red things everywhere on Christmas Road. Liu Mang was influenced by his opponents, his own team, and various future memories. When he was cranky, finally, Liu The task reminder waiting for a long time came!
"Ding ...... The third phase of the series of missions triggered by Junlin, the first task: wild Christmas Eve."
"Wild Christmas Eve: Mission Goal 1: In the contest with Steve Nash, the number of assists is higher than that of Steve Nash. Mission Goal 2: Get a 25-game winning streak. Mission reward: 10000 superstar value, start the next step task……"
Liu Mang woke up instantly from his confusion!
coming!
finally come!
Mission rewards ... a little bit less!
But at least start the mission!
Although the first task reward is less, and the superstar value of playing three games, but Liu Mang wants to have another 1 million superstar value draw!
It's better to have a training card or something, let him break the bottleneck of 94 three-pointers!
Liu Mang seems to be shooting like a day with Curry and Thompson.
Now Liu Mang's superstar value has reached 573961 points. It had been 600,000 before playing the Bobcat, but it cost 30,000 superstar value to supplement the standing medicine.
This year, the Eagles won too easily. Liu Mang did not encounter any obstacles. The tasks were very few. Except for the 90-point skyrocketing of more than a hundred thousand held since the next few games, there was no task. Liu Mang was anxious.
at last!
Before the game with Nash, the mission came!
Playing against the assisting king ... Liu Mang seemed to feel the excitement of last year's match between McGrady and the assisting master!
