: 1383. Warm and innocent Duncan

Liu Mang posted a picture on Facebook.
No other content is written, just a picture.
But people who follow nba know what it means.
No one was surprised to see that Liu Mang was so direct. This is Liu Mang. He would say it directly and then do it.
The Spurs came to Atlanta on the morning of the game against the Hawks. The league will never be friendly to the Spurs. At least until the Spurs' popularity increases, the league is not so friendly to the Spurs.
Last night, the Spurs were just 85 to 77 by the Bulls, and today they have to play back-to-back with the Hawks.
In general, the Hawks and Spurs now face similar conditions, both in a state of limited physical fitness.
If the Lakers and Celtics both like to come out, rob, and offend other teams, in the future, they will eventually get no team willing to trade with them. Popovich likes to play Yin.
Popovich did not respond positively to the fact that Liu Mang wanted to score 700 points, and also forbids players on the team to express their views on this matter in an interview, as if they did not know this matter.
But at night, Liu Mang felt malicious from the Spurs.
Artest single defense, Parker, Ginobili assisted to defend Liu Mang at the middle distance, Duncan squatted inside to guard Liu Mang attacking the basket, Liu Mang did not have the ball in hand, Artest played Liu Liu Mang, Liu Mang Running position, other outside line came to block Liu Mang's falling position, Liu Mang went to the inside line, and stuck tightly at the middle distance.
When Liu Mang has the ball in hand, there are at least two people in front of him, unlimited bound!
The Spurs are not a team that has much desire for regular season records. Anyway, they cannot be less than 50 wins. They can't get the first in the West, and they can't get the Western Conference playoff home advantage. Their goal is to be able to It is enough to have a home advantage in the first round, and losing a disgusting opponent doesn't care at all.
Liu Mang fought the waves of his life and shot 19 times. In the face of the Spurs pouring the defensive center of gravity on him, Liu Mang got 14 free throws and 11 of 14 free throws, but only 6 of 19 shots. Among them, 4 of 12 three-pointers, 27 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.
Liu Mang was surrounded by the inside. Although he got a lot of free throws, his own feel was exploded, and his shooting percentage will exceed 30%.
The key to branding your winning game is the other two eagles. Tracy McGrady scored 31 points on 11 of 23 shots, Jason Terry scored 9 points on 15 of 9 points. Kwame Brown and Marion combined to grab 29 rebounds. Jason Terry scored a lot when the two were playing iron in Liu Mang, taking advantage of Liu Mang's attraction to the defense, grabbing an offensive rebound and passing it out, there was a second chance to attack.
The Spurs' defense against Liu Mang really made it difficult for Liu Mang to try more shots. If you count the 7 offensive opportunities used by 14 free throws, Liu Mang played 36 minutes, and actually shot 26 times, which is not counted. Less, but compared to the past dozen games, Liu Mang's effective shots in this game are particularly much less.
But the Spurs' defense like this has made their rebounding and defense against Liu Mang very poor. The Hawks made 95 shots, far higher than their average of 83 opponents this season. Average.
The Hawks easily beat the Spurs 108-91.
Only got 27 points!
This was too unexpected for Liu Mang.
Originally Liu Mang thought that this game with the Spurs was the easiest game for him to score high points. He felt that the Spurs would definitely try their best to win them. After all, the Spurs must be determined to win the championship.
But I didn't expect the Spurs to stop him from scoring high regardless of winning or losing!
Liu Mang was replaced in the second minute of the fourth quarter because the Hawks had led by 25 points, leading 91-66 at the time. When he was replaced, he saw Duncan smile at him.
From Duncan's warm and innocent smile, Liu Mang felt "the dignity of the background emperor." As a background emperor, of course, he is the one who does not want to be the background.
Duncan is the most active player in assisting Liu Mang. Liu Mang scored six free throws on Duncan.
The good news is that the game won, the Hawks got a four-game winning streak, and briefly opened the winning streak.
But the task became very difficult at once!
There are 127 points left in the remaining three games, which means that the remaining three games will average 42.4 points to get 700 points!
After Duncan caused a big trouble to Liu Mang's 700 points in a single month, he took his teammates back to San Antonio dashingly, played a wave of five consecutive guests, and the Spurs were also tired.
The most painful thing for the Spurs is that they have five games in five days and eight games in five days, and they have consecutive away games or consecutive home games, or a long rest period. Now the Spurs have 31 wins and 16 losses. The game is over, back and back on the 30th and 31st, but the next three days they are three days off ...
Popovich would rather not have such a long rest day and would rather spread the schedule a bit. They have too many rest days of three or four days, but there are 17 back-to-backs throughout the season.
Liu Mang was overcast by Popovich, and he could only admit it. After playing the Spurs the next day, he immediately flew with the team to the cold north. Tomorrow is the 27th and will be away. There are many Raptors with the core of the Toronto Youth Three Heroes led by Dakomilisic, the king of the North.
"Ugh……"
Kwame Brown sighed with grief, he missed O'Neill so much!
When O'Neal is in the east, the Lakers fans will help Kwame Brown vote, do not want O'Neal to enter the All-Star.
But O'Neill left, and Kwame Brown became the target. Non-Eagle fans would never vote for Kwame Brown, but chose to vote for Kwame Brown's opponent.
Competing with Kwame Brown for the Eastern All-Star center position is Dwight Howard, whose popularity has soared since O'Neal left the East this year.
Howard's laughable character, coupled with the league's support, allowed him to win the position of the 2007 Eastern Las Vegas All-Star Center with 1.51 million votes and 1.39 million votes of Kwame Brown.
Kwame Brown's consecutive years of being selected as an All-Star center is broken.
"It's okay, Kwame, you can definitely make it to the All-Star bench." Marion reassured.
"It's okay, Kwame, you can definitely make it to the All-Star bench." Marion reassured.
"Hopefully, but you are here, Sean, I'm not that likely to be an All-Star substitute." Kwame Brown complained a little.
"Then let's go in together!" Marion had a good attitude and was very confident.
As he grew up, he didn't have a distorted personality like aliens, Marion's mentality was leveraged.
Seeing someone here comforting Kwame Brown, he said nothing. He was depressed. He only scored 27 points yesterday. It was too bad. To play the Raptors tomorrow ... he has a very ominous hunch!
Fortunately, there is a little comfort today. The All-Star roster list was announced today.
Liu Mang's 2.96 million votes, relying on the latest wave of crazy performance, successfully overtaken, pressured Kevin Garnett with 2.57 million votes to win the All-Star ticket.
Tracy McGrady won the East All-Star guard with 2.21 million votes.
Garnett got the second highest number of votes for the current All-Star, was selected as the Eastern All-Star forward, James 2.18 million votes, won another Eastern All-Star forward position.
On the west side, Yao Ming won 2.51 million votes and won the Western All-Star ticket, occupying the Western All-Star center for five consecutive years.
In terms of Western strikers, Duncan continued to be elected to All-Star with 2.06 million votes, occupying this position since the rookie season.
Gasol was selected to the All-Star for the second time in his career and became the All-Star for the first time. Carmelo Anthony, with 1.31 million votes, won the All-Star striker position.
In terms of guards, Kobe and Iverson were selected for the All-Star team, with 2.33 million votes for Kobe and 2.19 million votes for Iverson.
Looking at Kobe and Duncan, the two
nail-houses
that have dominated the two All-Star positions in the West since 1998, Liu Mang wanted to black them out and kept occupying the position.
After Liu Mang was overcast by Duncan yesterday, he had a sense of embarrassment and anger.
What surprised Liu Mang the most was that the eastern defender got the third vote, actually Rondo!
Rondo got 690,000 votes, more than the 650,000 votes of Kidd and Wade ’s injured reimbursement of 490,000 votes and Terry ’s 410,000 votes!
Carter was really cold there, and he fell off with Kidd. The conflict between the two continued to escalate, which had a great impact on their popularity.
The Maimang team was selected as an All-Star again, which was a little comfort for Liu Mang. In the next three games, he needed more points.
Toronto is such a cold place, and it is still good to stay in the hotel in winter. Recently, the schedule is tight, and the rest of the Eagles have no idea of ​​going to the snow.
Duwo rested in the hotel.
Liu Mang did n’t go to watch the video or anything. The rest is very important. The rest of the Eagles are physically tired. McGrady, Jason Terry, Kwame Brown and others have reached the middle of the season. The fatigue of playing so many games in the past few years has accumulated. At this stage, the first and second grade players played an important role for the first time after leaving Prince and Korver. Adult basketball is not a level compared to college basketball. Liu Mang is psychological. Fatigue, read the book, ease relief.
The All-Star announcement is a very important thing for NBA and has become a hot topic among fans.
Kwame Brown and Howard, Milicic, Chandler, who are more suitable for the position of All-Star center, have their own views. Relatively speaking, although many fans voted for Howard, but they devalued Howard's argument. many.
Picking Howard and attacking Howard ... Fans are always so peeful.
On the evening of the 26th, when the media and fans were discussing the topic of who is deserving and who is not deserving this All-Star, a not-so-known reporter, Woking Navosky from Google Sports, broke the news!
"Grant Hill and the Magic are negotiating a buyout"
Then it broke the news that "Magic team open the rights of other teams to communicate with Grant Hill."
The news came very suddenly. Although Grant Hill is old and has no idea how many injuries he has experienced since the new century, the new fans do n’t think how powerful he is. He also feels that his contract has delayed the Magic, which has been an excellent draft, but at 90 At that time, Grant Hill's name was extremely loud. Jordan, who was the only 70-win player in history at the time to win 72 wins, could not steal Grant Hill's All-Star ticket.
The old fans still like Grant Hill. In 2007, Grant Hill ’s All-Stars won the vote, still ranking fourth in the eastern striker, higher than Raheem, O’Neal, Bosh, etc., enough to prove Grant. Hill's popularity.
When some fans like to watch it, there is media digging in depth, and then a large number of major media news broke out.
Overall, Grant Hill played well this season, averaging 11 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and his attendance rate is also good. The Magic played 48 games and made 39 appearances, the highest since the new century. Attendance rate.
But 16.9 million ranked 10th in the league's salary ... Grant Hill's statistics are too worthwhile.
With the addition of Rahim, the fifth-highest salary star in the league with a veteran-specific clause of $ 19.1 million, the Magic do not look at only the sixth record in the East, with a salary of 81.3 million ~ EbookFREE.me ~ so Although they lose Grant Hill, their strength will be compromised, but if the agreement is bought out, they do n’t have to pay Grant Hill ’s remaining three months ’salary. In addition to paying a large salary, they can also avoid the equivalent of luxury. tax!
As for the trade ... Grant Hill reimbursed the season from the first year when he signed the 7-year top salary with the Magic in 2000. After the annual season reimbursement, he could trade out and trade early, and the Magic did not want to be injured every year. The No. has always occupied salary space, but there is no team at all, and the draft picks cannot be sent out.
The Magic can only survive, and finally reached the last year, and the luxury tax has been paid for several years.
According to media calculations, if Grant Hill is laid off before the All-Star weekend, and the Magic will make some small transactions before the trade deadline, it is very likely that the salary will be reduced below the luxury tax threshold for the first time in five years. Therefore, Grant Hill's application for buyout is very attractive to the Magic.
And the Magic also have Turkish forward Hidudkoglu who showed excellent passing ability in the Kings. At the end of the bench there is Trevor Ariza signed by the Magic with two years of 6.6 million. The depth of the Magic It ’s enough, but their head coach ca n’t use it. Grant Hill ’s name is there, with a salary of more than 16 million, and he can sell tickets. Grant Hill did n’t need Grant Hill when he had two years of health. 'S boss can strangle him.
After Liu Mang and Xiaolioli talked on the phone in the afternoon, they turned off their phones and did not turn on the computer. They were reading a novel about how a junior high school kid became a bad guy, and transferred some of their recent nervous thoughts. In the evening, the room The door was knocked loudly.
"Who!" Liu Mang went angrily to open the door and found it was Stockton.
Liu Mang adjusted his breath and asked, "What's wrong with John?"
