: 1412. Progressive playoffs

"People play basketball and play basketball. Do you play basketball with IQ? Thinking about how to count opponents all day long in the background, is that okay?"
Iverson looked at Liu Mang and wanted to ask Liu Mang what he thought.
But ... Iverson still has a little expectation: "There should be my analysis? There will be no No. 24 without me?"
On March 14th, at noon on the day of the Hawks and Bobcats game, the Nuggets had arrived in Atlanta.
Strange to say, when the Hawks were first in the league or first in the Eastern Conference, they lost to the Bobcats once or twice every season, but this season was not the first in the Eastern Conference or the first in the league. ...
Instead, the Cavaliers and Bulls lost to the Bobcats twice ... The Mavericks swept the Bobcats.
The nickname of "Eastern King Buster" was sent to Mr. Joe by the fans.
Liu Mang had a meal with the four of McGrady, Iverson and Anthony. It was quite quiet. During the lunch time, almost no one spoke.
As the so-called gentleman's relationship is as light as water, Liu Mang, Iverson and Anthony are like this.
Chatting with James, Wade, Liu Mang, and Gasol Liu Mang have mutual care, Reed also had a sympathetic rivalry, and the little blacksmith ...
But with Iverson, Anthony, Liu Mang can only say that the relationship is okay, Liu Mang admires Iverson's strength, Iverson also recognizes the strength of today's best point guard, Liu Mang is more curious about Anthony And, this man Anthony ... Liu Mang has never been able to figure out how to think about this guy's thinking.
How on earth did this guy get away from the other brothers of Generation 03?
After having lunch with the Nuggets, Liu Mang went home to take a break. It was almost time to go to Little Loli's school to pick her up with the bodyguard and go to the arena.
At seven o'clock in the evening, it is time for the Hawks and Bobcats to fight for the last time this season.
Although the Hawks only sent Rondo, Liu Mang, Granger, David Lee, Gortat's lineup, they still pressed the Bobcats all the way.
The Bobcats entered the NBA for three drafts, three times ... all were wrong.
The draft was okay at the time, and people's expectations were actually very high. At that time, these people were the ones that were more optimistic.
But people do n’t care what it was like. Anyway, Okafor is not as good as Josh Smith and Al Jefferson, Felton is not as good as Paul and Deron, and even not as good as the Blazers. Three Jarrett Jacks, who took their own point guard positions, looked great.
Adam Morrison this season ...
The template Larry Bird guy, like the template Nowitzki guy, averaged 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, which is not too bad, but such a high pick is almost like water.
The main reason is that Morrison's performance in the NBA is too far away from the university. Morrison is a dominant player at the Larry Bird level, shooting 504392, 180 club members, entering the NBA, shooting only 3%. Seventeen, the three-point percentage is only 33% ...
Shameless and brave, talking about Rondo in the recent period. After the team played the Lakers and began to take a rest, his playing time began to increase. Facing Felton of the former North Carolina four, Rondo got a career The first triple-double, played for 44 minutes, got 10 points, 12 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals, so that the old Joe in Charlotte was going to vomit blood. Felton only got 12 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds. It was beaten by the rookie Rondo.
Rondo was in good shape, and he was naturally required to play more. Liu Mang played 33 minutes and scored 30 points and 11 rebounds.
The biggest benefit from Rondo's pass is Granger, the corner pitcher, and Swift, the cake-eater on the bench.
Although it took a rest, it won quite easily. The Hawks beat the Bobcats 115 to 104 and won three straight.
"Ryan Janbei, come, uncle rewards you a donut ..."
Under Liu Mang's "coercion", Rondo bite the doughnut helplessly and made a V gesture to the camera.
Rondo scored his first triple-double in his career, reflecting his progress in the last ten games.
Around the All-Star weekend, the Hawks played two games for the Bulls and Lakers. Rondo played very poorly, and it deeply hurt his self-esteem. He was ashamed and brave. Opportunity, trying to show their progress since more than half of the season, and finally successfully won the first triple-double.
Such a thing, of course, to celebrate!
So, after the game, Liu Mang went to the dessert shop of the stadium to buy a donut, as a "reward" for Rondo.
Whenever this happens, Rondo regrets his good stats. He scored in double figures for the first time, a career high of 20 points, assisted in double figures for the first time, double in rebounds for the first time, first Assisted by double rebounds in secondary rebounds ... Every time Rondo will be teased by Liu Mang and Jason Terry ...
The Hawks played lively after the game, but the Nuggets' double guns were heavy.
The Hawks played the Bobcats game, Jason Terry, McGrady, Marion, Kwame Brown four core players did not play, but the game is still very easy to win, Liu Mang played three quarters.
So many main shifts are definitely going to them!
After playing the Bobcats, the next day the Eagles and Nuggets met for the second time this season. Obviously, it was another battle of focus.
Can the Nuggets still be able to beat the Suns or the Jazz with home court advantage when they are locked in fourth place in the West?
This is the most interesting thing in the western region at this stage.
The Mavericks have 54 wins and 11 losses, and the state of the regular season has exploded. Although the state has declined after the All-Star, the last ten games have only eight wins and two losses, but the accumulated advantages in the front are too large, and the league is difficult to shake.
The Lakers are 50 wins and 14 losses, and are steadily ranked second. There are two teams in the east and the west that have won 50 wins. The West is the Lakers and the Mavericks.
The Spurs have 46 wins and 19 losses, but they have the same record as the Hawks, ranking third in the West.
The 41-24 Nuggets, 40-25 Jazz, and 40-26 Suns are fiercely competing for the fourth home advantage in the first round of the Western Conference. Supersonics ... After losing Allen, this period of performance Turning sharply, it has fallen out of the playoffs. The eighth game in the West is very fierce. The Warriors, Rockets and Clippers are heading for this position.
The Warriors, whose strength has soared after getting Stephen Jackson, has the upper hand.
Although the Nuggets are the top in the Atlantic Division and the fourth in the West is unshakable, when entering the playoffs, if the fifth record in the West is better than them, the fifth in the West still has a home advantage.
In the East, the Cavaliers ranked first in the East with 51 wins and 15 losses, the Bulls ranked second with 50 wins and 16 losses, the Eagles ranked third with 46 wins and 19 losses, and the Raptors ranked fourth with 39 wins and 25 losses.
The Magic are temporarily fifth, the Pistons sixth, the Nets seventh, and the Wizards eighth.
The major teams have basically 16 to 18 games left in the regular season, and the competition for the playoffs in the lower half of the East and West has been heated up. It is likely that the ranking will change several times within a day.
However, the team has a good record in the playoffs. The special team is that there are three teams in the east and the west that have the opportunity to win 60 wins, so that the record of the team with the poor record looks really bad ...
There are three teams in the East and West that have only won more than a dozen games. The West is relatively good. The tenth place only started to win less than 50%. The East has not won more than 50% since the sixth in the East. The team is up and the Pistons are just 33 wins and 32 losses.
Without disappointing the double guns, on the night of March 15th, the Hawks played back-to-back games for the Nuggets in the second game. The four players who took the break yesterday were all on the active list today.
After warming up, after entering the stadium, Iverson saw the Hawks list and knew it was like that.
The Hawks sent Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, Kwame Brown.
Rondo, a rookie, Iverson watched his game on the spot yesterday. Rondo tried hard to grab the rebound and grabbed more points than he scored. He played an affordable triple-double. The ball doesn't matter.
Rondo grew up watching the 96th generation play.
Iverson was surprised by Rondo's performance. He seemed to see the controversial Jason Kidd in his college days.
Without good teammates, Jason Kidd could not reflect the value of his data, as was Rondo, without Liu Mang's defensive defense, without Swift's physical fitness insider who was good at cutting off the cake, without Granger's last stable. With a three-point wing, what will Rondo do? This is hard to say.
The Mavericks picked Kidd in the second pick. The Hawks picked a genius who seemed to have that kind of development momentum in the middle and back of the first round. It was still a super draft pick. Iverson was in a very complicated mood. .
On the Nuggets side, the lineup of Iverson, JR Smith, Anthony, Nene and Camby appeared.
Every time he played with Iverson, Liu Mang was very excited. The status of the Hawks players can be said to be quite good. In the past ten games, 7 wins and 3 losses. Although the Mavericks did not get 8 wins and 2 losses, their fans are all He also "dislikes" such a good record, but this is the performance of the Hawks played in the shift.
The record is not as good as the Mavericks, Cavaliers and Bulls' recent 8 wins and 2 losses, so the Eagles did not attract much attention in terms of winning or losing.
Almost all aspects of the Hawks' attention are because of Liu Mang, but this does not represent the status of the Hawks. Rather, the Hawks have been in excellent condition in recent times!
The Hawks are in good shape, not because of how explosive their performance is. If 7 wins and 3 losses were won by Liu Mang or a certain player's statistics, it is not good.
In the case of a holiday, McGrady only played 6 games in the past 10 games, Jason Terry played only 7 games in the past 10 games, Kwame Brown played only 4 games in the past 10 games, and Marion once rested for 5 consecutive games. In the case of the Hawks, the Hawks still have 7 wins and 3 losses. The players who come back after the break can still maintain a stable performance. This is even good for the Hawks.
In mid-to-late January, Liu Mang ran away to help the team start a wave of ten-game winning streak, initially because the teammates played very unstable in the middle of the season, it may have just scored 30 points in the last game, and scored two in a dozen Three can only get ten points.
The rest of the All-Star Weekend and the rest of the rest of the week have restored the Hawks' physical fitness on the verge of collapse before the All-Star Weekend.
The Hawks play the main role, and have recently been in good shape. Players can come back after the break to maintain a stable play. For the Nuggets who are only in the second echelon of the West, it is obviously a disaster ...
The Hawks played steadily today, and the Nuggets didn't play outbreaks. They also played steadily, and the result of the game was obvious.
The Hawks laid a 5-point lead in the first quarter, leading the Nuggets 31-26.
It was more than a month before the playoffs. After the Hawks began to take a rest, they gradually adjusted towards the postseason. Rondo also went into a better state after experiencing a short "rookie wall". The role player Compared to the first time this season when playing with the Nuggets, the state has also improved significantly. After the Hawks took the lead in the first quarter, the rotation lineup also has a very good advantage in the field, and gradually opened the difference to two. Digits.
After halftime, the Hawks have led the Nuggets 11 points 59-48.
The Nuggets made a counterattack in the second half, but the Hawks sent a trio of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and McGrady for a long time in the second half to fight the firepower of the trio of Iverson, JR Smith and Anthony.
In the end, relying on Liu Mang hit 14 of 33 shots in 41 minutes, including 6 of 13 three-pointers and scored 41 points. McGrady played 17 minutes with 4 points and 4 assists. Jason Terry scored 29 minutes and took By 17 points, Rondo had 3 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. Kwame Brown and Marion combined to grab 31 rebounds. The Hawks defeated the Nuggets 113-106.
After defeating the Nuggets, the Hawks won four straight.
After playing with the Nuggets, Liu Mang has already scored 40 times after the All-Star break this weekend, raising 40 games this season to 19.
Liu Mang once again set off a discussion about his ability to score.
With 15 games left, fans and the media have determined that Liu Mang can get at least 20 40 times in a single season.
Of the active players, the only players who got 20 times 40 in a single season are Liu Mang and Kobe.
And many times in a single season to get at least 20 40 stars, only Wilt Chamberlain, Jordan has not done it.
And Liu Mang ... Unconsciously, this achievement is about to be completed.
On March 16, the second day after the Hawks finished the Nuggets, Liu Mang and the team went to Rose City to open a wave of consecutive home and away games with games the next day.
The first stop was the Trail Blazers with the strongest No. 6 show, point guard killer, ZBo, and CIC Liang Zi No. 2 show.
Before playing the Blazers at home, McGrady was very interested when he played against Roy. In that game, McGrady made six consecutive three-pointers and cast Roy against him in suspicion of life, just as he was continuously cast. James, who scored eight threes ...
The Blazers are now clearing the "Portland Prison" group of people. Before the trade deadline, the Blazers were the team with the most deals. Instead, they were the two supersonic and Nets roaring teams. Nothing happened.
Now that the Blazers have a new look, only the star Zakrandorf and sixth man Travis Outlaw.
And after the two old teammates were cleaned up, the All-Stars have been honest after the weekend. Although they are still far from the playoffs, their recent performance has not lost to some playoff teams.
The Blazers are really hard!
Randolph, Roy, Jack plus Magloire and Webster ~ EbookFREE.me ~ obtained before the trade deadline are all very tough players.
And they are very strong inside!
Randolph and Magloire's inside combination, fierce shooting ability, fierce rebounding, second pick Rad Marcus Aldridge as the first substitute for the inside, is also a power forward with excellent shooting ability.
The Hawks did not dare to care about this game, and some commentators also said that the Blazers who have performed well recently have some hope of defeating the strong team.
However, the media does not seem to have much interest in the game itself ...
On the afternoon of the 16th, Liu Mang took a break at the hotel and went to the Rose Garden Arena to prepare for training. Before the playoffs, Liu Mang ’s training has become greater. As much as possible before the playoffs, try to improve Let's make this improvement through training. This aspect of improvement can be improved. When I took a team charter to Portland this morning, I already made an appointment with the Blazers to borrow the arena.
When I first arrived at the stadium and just got out of the taxi, I didn't know which staff of the Blazers let out the news. A group of reporters surrounded Liu Mang.
"Aise, may I ask you about another 20 times in a single season 40, is this the help of your basketball philosophy" Snake "?"
Liu Mang thought that he wanted to ask questions related to the Blazers' two high-ranking stars this year. He had already prepared official answers, but he didn't expect it to be this question.
Liu Mang was disappointed when he heard the word ...
Liu Mang was annoyed: "No, I'm going to get 20 times 40 again, it's like love."
"Like love? Why? Does this matter have anything to do with love?" The reporter asked strangely.
"It doesn't matter much, it's just that I like to force together two things that have nothing to do with each other."
