: Five hundred. The end of the Western Expedition, conquer the Son of Heavenly Jealousy

On the way to the last away destination of Liulian.
Liu Mang looked at the clouds outside the window, which is really good ...
When a cloud is so good, standing at the highest place, no effort is needed, the big thing becomes rain, and finally it will return to the sky.
Liu Mang took out the new scout report and read the new fighter report and the analysis of the alliance situation.
These are all scouting jobs, do n’t think of scouting as easy, just watch games, travel, and submit a few lists that you think have potential everywhere at your own expense. Such miscellaneous tasks are all their job content. .
The Hawks went on a six-season expedition to the west. They scored 4 wins and 1 loss in the first five games. They successfully pulled the eighth Eastern Magic team and climbed to the eighth in the east.
29 wins and 24 losses, and the top five Pistons, Nets, Pacers, Hornets, 76ers, but the sixth and seventh Celtics and the Bucks are not far behind.
The Wizards have almost fallen behind. From the sixth to the ninth in the east, the Celtics, Bucks, Eagles and Magic are competing.
It's almost the last two months, and the approximate ranking of each team is very obvious.
On the west side, the king and the Spurs are fiercely competing for the league first, and the Mavericks and Timberwolves tremble in the third and fourth.
The aging Lakers and the soon-to-be prisoners are competing for the fifth in the West.
The Jazz dropped from the ranks that may hit 50 wins, but the seventh in the West is still very stable.
The Rockets continue to compete with the Suns for eighth. Because Yao Ming has some influences from Liu Mang, he has two clear and clear choices for his future.
Although how to choose the two paths is still a bit confused, but the temporary goal is still there, and now he is still light, relying on his mobile ability and shooting ability not in line with his height to attack, the defensive end relies on height advantage and lateral ability Keeping the basket in check, use your existing strengths first, and then talk about the rookie year.
The short-term goals are clear, so that Yao Ming did not have a regular season like the peak of the rookie season.
Originally Yao Ming's rookie season was a sad start. After playing the Lakers, it started. Then there was a period of highlights. After the All-Star weekend, weaknesses were discovered. The second half began to be targeted. The rookie wall fell. The key card game was killed by the Suns, regretting losing the best rookie.
At that time, Yao Ming was very confused after the All-Star Weekend, and no one could give him too much size. Tang Shuai would train the center, but the main training is technology, not to help Yao Ming plan the future.
Because a giant like Yao Ming who is one size bigger than the average power center, although there have been before, at most it is the kind of Boer that only blocks. Yao Ming has never had such a height and such mobility. And feel young power forward.
Although Sabonis is also a tall man, but the type is completely different, others Sabonis is defensive pass type, and Yao Ming has the talent of scoring dominance.
Therefore, Tang Shuai can only teach Yao Ming to help him find the newly retired Olajuwon to teach him footsteps.
As for Yao Ming's future planning, Tang Shuai didn't know how to do it. He still waited until the younger Van Gundy before formulating the future style of play for Yao Ming.
It ’s a little different now. Liu Mang clearly pointed out two ways to help Yao Ming. Although Yao Ming is still hesitant about the final choice, Liu Mang affirmed that his current style of play based on feel, footwork and height is also feasible, although There may not be any dominance. Just like Nowitzki, it needs a boss who is willing to spend money to find a bunch of people to make up for the loopholes in this style of play, but the strength is definitely very strong.
So now Yao Ming is not confused, and he quickly strengthened the play of the rest of the season. It really slowly recovered his feelings, and returned to the mid-season period where he averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds. which performed.
Originally Yao Ming's season data was similar to Stoudemire. Yao Ming opened low and walked, and Stoudemire opened high and walked low. Finally, he struggled together at the end of the season. After the rookie year, the two averaged 13 + 8. .
However, due to Liu Mang's intervention, Yao Ming took the lead out of the quagmire, and together with Francis and Mobley took the Rockets to guard the eighth, crushing the Suns two wins.
The Eagles in the eighth in the east, although the gap between the top eight in the east is not particularly large, but only a bit large, but there are still not many people who are optimistic about their entry into the top five, and they have no luxury of themselves. The game is just an appetizer, and the next 17 months of the game are the biggest obstacle for the Hawks to make the playoffs. The last day of February and the first day of March when the West Sixth consecutive guests return is immediately back-to-back , Is the most Sao in the Hawks schedule.
Looked at the scout report. Liu Mang looked at the morning newspaper he got when he arrived at the airport in the morning. Of course, he turned to the sports section.
Sure enough, he made headlines yesterday with 25 points in the first quarter.
Although the game only scored 25 points, the strong performance of crushing Arenas to death, and the successful perfect crushing performance, it seems like the future James no matter how difficult it is to hit the Pacers. The Raptors played DeRozan's team like life day by day and couldn't take care of themselves.
When he abused Arenas, after the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 25 points. He was thinking about a 20-point difference. The Warriors struggled a bit. He went back to fight and scored more than ten points anyway. Break through 40, get a personal 40+ for the seventh time, and get a 50+ with better luck.
Didn't expect the Warriors to say that the crash would happen. Liu Mang didn't go up to continue playing. After halftime, it was almost 40 points, and after three quarters, it was almost 50 points.
Liu Mang did n’t think he did n’t get 40 or 50 points. He liked the stats very much, but he did n’t get to the point of wearing a No. 0 jersey. The most important thing was that his team actually won the opponent. 55 points!
In fact, if you look at the two things separately, for example, if you scored 25 points in a single quarter, or if the team won the opponent by 55 points, Liu Mang felt no problem. The first proved that he was the strongest in the same session, and the second proved His team is strong enough.
However, when the two things are combined, especially before the game, Liu Mang also expressed that he will deal with Arenas. This is combined. Many so-called expert media expressed their views that night-Liu Mang is a careful eye, no Sportsmanship, basketball dreams that want to stifle Warriors players.
For this view, Liu Mang was ashamed at first. It was indeed that he started, and then Jason Terry came up and beat the other party to life.
But several California morning newspapers are in this tone, Liu Mang reads a lot and is also annoying.
Yes, the master is to kill the Warriors basketball dream!
Arenas? Jamison? Jason Richardson?
Go to your basketball dream! I ’ll do it next time ... as if you are not a teammate next season ... then do it three times!
……
At 6 pm on February 26, 2003, the Hawks had their last stop in the Western Expedition.
Holy City, ATT Center, Duncan stood in the Hawks halftime, watching the Hawks' rim and wondering what to think.
The Eagles players around didn't seem to see this person, so they took care of their shots.
When Duncan ran to the Hawks, Rahim would be very unhappy to push Duncan away, but this time too many, I simply ignored it.
Looked at Liu Mang, ignoring himself standing next to him, struggling to practice the mid-range shot, Duncan leaned in front of Liu Mang.
Liu Mang was taken aback. This guy was not good as a quiet background. What did he do next to the young man?
Liu Mang ignored Duncan, took a step, and continued to practice CIC.
CIC is a good thing!
Last time I played the Warriors, I experienced an Arenas star card and experienced the top-level mid-range shooting ability close to 90, although I do n’t know how amazing the mid-range shooting ability of Jordan, Kobe and Nowitzki is. , But Arenas 89's ability value is already enough, it is worthy of being able to face the peak Bryant scored 60 points in a single game.
Each offensive means, regardless of high or low, O'Neill, Olajuwon's low singles; Curry, Durant's three points; Kochono's CIC is a big killer.
After three points to some small bottlenecks for progress, Liu Mang's development direction began to focus on the middle distance and scoring.
Liu Mang ’s three-pointer is already very good. Even if he does not trigger the bench gangster, it is also the best three-pointer of a team. The next one will need time to settle, and it will naturally improve. Now Liu Mang ’s important thing to develop is CIC and scoring.
Now it's time for Liu Mang to put pressure on himself to improve his strength. The Hawks may not have a home advantage in the playoffs. This is crucial in the playoffs. Without home advantage, you must have the strength to crush the opponent before you dare to say There is a solid chance of winning.
Duncan leaned to Liu Mang, Liu Mang didn't even look at him to continue shooting, Duncan shouted quietly: "Ace ..."
Liu Mang looked at Duncan suspiciously. Is something really going on?
Liu Mang thought that Duncan just came here to sell a Meng, and this uncle likes to forcibly sell Meng.
Liu Mang asked, "What's wrong, Tim? Is something wrong?"
Duncan responded: "Aise, don't you ..."
Duncan said, paused, turned his head to look at the basket with a look of Qi Qiran.
Liu Mang waited for Duncan to answer. As a result, Duncan said that he looked at the basket halfway. Liu Mang waited for a few seconds, holding the ball silently and changing the ground to the Spurs half.
This paralysis is here to disturb the master training? Yes, you are the uncle, uncle Deng, you are the MVP, can't afford to shun the younger man?
Duncan finished his sadness and turned his head back to look at "Liu Mang" while saying, "Ais, you really can't see me ..."
The words of Duncan haven't been finished yet, and Liu Mang is gone!
Looked around and saw Liu Mang. Liu Mang was talking happily with the rookie Ginobili, who had just arrived this year.
Duncan seemed to hear his heartbreaking voice, Ace, buddy's words are not finished yet!
ァ 新 ヤ ~ ⑧ ~ 1 ~ 中文 网 ωωω.χ ~ ⒏ ~ 1zщ.còм
Also, when was his teammate so enthusiastic?
Parker and Ginobili, two new generation players who entered the NBA with Liu Mang at the same time, had a lively conversation with Liu Mang.
Duncan's heart is not only broken, but already crushed into scum!
During his own half-time training, his teammates didn't even give one ball. When the opponent players arrived at their own half-time, due to the good relationship, Liu Mang, as a young generation leader, has a good personality and a strong Leadership, Parker and Ginobili are competing for Liu Mang to pick up the ball, still complimenting Liu Mang enthusiastically, do not want to see Liu Mang runaway when they hit them, do not want to be the next Arenas.
How strong Arenas are, these two rookies of the same period and the second-year guys who are also players of the Western team know very well that Arenas has been beaten by Liu Mang, it is estimated that they have psychological barriers, both I don't want to be the next Arenas.
And their own team also has a Stephen Jackson to see Liu Mang has a psychological shadow. Last year, Liu Mang abused Stephen Jackson to be a miserable one, which made Parker's memory of witnessing it all the more profound.
Helping to pick up a ball is not a big deal. The atmosphere of the Spurs has always been wonderful, and the Spurs fans are also very strange. Seeing Liu Mang this opponent comes from the home team to shoot at halftime. Instead of booing, there are still many people in Liu. After recklessly practicing a mid-range shot, he played with a clever crotch dunk and cheered.
Duncan looked so popular among the young people in his own team, the fans on the scene were cheering, and no matter what he did was ignored, Duncan felt so sad and angry!
The Hawks players saw Liu Mang running to the other side for training. Everyone was covered with black lines. What is this kid doing?
Then when I saw Duncan standing in his own half, I immediately understood that it was the opponent who came from home to dominate the stadium. Liu Mang also used to dominate their stadium ... Wait, Raheem saw Duncan beside him. When did this goods come?
"Hey hey, Duncan, go back to you! Today is our half!" Rahim saw Duncan and pushed Duncan out of his three-point line ...
……
Peak Duncan, can't be irritated casually.
Clay figurines also have a three-pointer fire, not to mention Duncan is a stone man.
The Hawks' last game of the Spurs, Duncan said that everyone ran away, and there was no sign.
No one knows why Duncan suddenly ran away today. It is not the same as his usual calm and calm, forever Taishan collapsed in front of him and his color remains unchanged. It is directly like a "Laozi wants to eat people", crazy inside. Chisel.
The Hawks had played five away games in a row. In the previous seven days, they played five games, especially after just playing back to back in a row, and flying from the California-Utah metropolitan area to San Antonio, Texas, the United States. Mexico has a different climate.
Mainly after 4 wins and 1 loss in 7 days and 5 games, the Hawks are indeed tired and a little lax. The Hawks did not report any expectations in this game.
First of all, the strength gap is there, and then the Spurs are waiting for work. This is the best-rated February. The Spurs have few games. There are 10 games throughout the month. There is no live broadcast in the United States. The Eagles and the 76ers did not give them. Live streaming opportunities.
The most important thing is the fatigue of the Hawks!
This is why the Hawks have 29 wins and 24 losses but still have the risk of falling out of the top eight in the East.
Including Liu Mang, the psychological fatigue cannot be stopped.
7 days and 5 battles!
Then back to Atlanta, there are many such consecutive games die.
The main thing is that no one expected that Duncan was crazy today. He scored 16 points in the first quarter, 14 points in the second quarter, and 30 points in the half!
Duncan is the core of the team. His performance has driven the Spurs 'madness, Duncan's crazy chisel, and others' crazy defense.
After halftime, the Spurs led the Hawks by 9 points 39 to 30.
The score is so coquettish, that is the Spurs.
The Hawks scored 39 points in the last quarter and only 30 points in the first half of the game. Jason Terry and Raheem were both forced into the starting stage. Liu Mang came up and was forced into the same way.
Liu Mang came up in the fourth minute of the first quarter, and then watched Duncan ’s offense and defense on both ends of the show. The strength of MVP and the best defensive player was integrated. Although Duncan could not get the best defensive player in his life, Liu Mang really I don't think Duncan's defense is worse than Ben Wallace and Ratliff. Even the kind of "stable" is not what Ratliff and Ben Wallace have.
Liu Mang played 19 minutes in the first half, only 2 of 9 shots, got 9 points and 2 assists, and it was gone.
Rahim got 5 points and 5 rebounds, and it was gone.
Jason Terry had 12 points.
Then, except for Boozer, he was defensively blocked by Duncan and caused Duncan to foul and hit a 3 + 1. The rest of the Hawks did not score a point in the first half!
In the third quarter, coach Kruger tried to struggle, and sent a cavalry company, wanting to charge him, after all, the score difference is 9 points, the Spurs' offensive ability is not good, Parker and Ginobili are still in the seedling stage, Although it has been seen that talent, but now can give Duncan very limited help, the Spurs this year than last year stunned defense.
However, this is obviously a wrong move. When Boozer and Muhammad's inside combination came on the court, Duncan seemed to face a group of lambs, venting his anger with a smile ... Yes, Duncan was separated by The two actually smiled after dunking, and the referee risked not giving a technical foul.
Indeed, at the beginning, the Spurs were counterattacked by the Hawks in a row. Liu Mang quickly came up in the third quarter to increase the score to 20 points, but the score difference did not shrink. When the Spurs attacked, Duncan went to the inside. Playing, playing, Duncan scored 40 points before finishing three quarters.
Then on the Spurs' side, Popovich moved Duncan to the center and replaced a big four.
This time the Eagles can't fight back! Duncan is faster than Boozer and Muhammad! Before Plantar Fasciitis, Duncan's physical fitness is a lever!
The point difference was pulled away. Duncan scored 15 points in the third quarter, leading the Spurs to a 24-18 score.
Except for Liu Mang ’s 13 points in a single quarter, the rest of the Hawks were defended to death. The Hawks players were physically and mentally exhausted. In the face of Popovich ’s single defense, Liu Mang strangled the play of others. Others wanted Struggling, but really struggling ...
After three quarters, the Spurs expanded the score to 63:48.
15 points difference!
With the stability of the Spurs ’vegetable abusers, this basically equals the point difference that cannot be overtaken. The best thing the Spurs are good for is that they can win steadily as long as they have a little advantage, as long as the team has no strength advantage Difficult to beat opponents.
15 points behind three quarters, Duncan scored 45 points in three quarters.
The Eagles have no choice but to succumb to Duncan's evil prostitution.
Liu Mang scored 22 points in the third quarter. His own score was still very good. His shooting rate was also improved to 7 out of 16. It was not bad. There were only 3 assists. There were not too many opportunities for teammates to create scoring opportunities.
Hit the point of 15 points behind the Spurs in three quarters. Seeing the half-dead look of his teammates, Liu Mang had no choice but to wave his flag and surrender.
The schedule was too hurt for the Hawks. After playing a six-player in 9 days, it was inhumane!
The Hawks can only surrender in the final quarter. In the end, the Hawks lost the Spurs 70 to 79 and lost the Spurs away.
It was really temperless to meet the Spurs!
Liu Mang is so angry! He looked at Duncan, who had a sly smile several times this year, and one day he would die of this facial paralysis!
Can't do it now, just wait for him to be old ... Wait for him to be old?
Rely!
Liu Mang remembered that when he was 40 years old, he seemed to be the most efficient at the center position! 37-year-old seems to be the first team of the best lineup!
Rely!
Don't let the young man get old by this future old immortal!
……
……
After the Western Expedition, the Hawks had no time to enjoy the warm weather in the Southwest Division. After playing the Spurs, the Eagles flew back to Atlanta early the next morning.
Back to Atlanta can only rest for one night, and the next day is another back to back.
Vs. Magic and Knicks.
One is a magic star who wants to return to the top eight, and the other is a team that never stops playing basketball with the Hawks.
Is not a good game.
29 wins and 25 losses, the Hawks record is almost the same as the 30 wins and 27 losses of the Magic, according to the number of matches played, a win is equal to two losses, the number of wins are the same.
It's just that the Hawks have the chance to be won more by the Magic in the same game than the Magic, so they still rank eighth in the East.
Hawks played against the Magic once in December last year. The Eagles struggled in the quagmire, losing to the Magic 89-96.
Counting the game that will start soon, the Hawks will play the Magic three times this month!
This can be regarded as the real eighth card game in the east!
……
When the Hawks returned to Atlanta, the Magic had already arrived in Atlanta.
Originally the Hawks played magic, there is a clear advantage in the lineup, but now it is hard to say, the Magic have played several home games before, Orlando is so close to Atlanta.
The Eagles are waiting for the other side to work.
After returning home, Liu Mang went out this time. In fact, he only had 9 days, but it felt like he had been out for more than half a month, so tired.
Finally returned home, Liu Mang wanted to seek Little Loli's hug and calm his tired heart.
But ...
"Uncle, what about Dina's gift? What? Uncle actually forgot!"
"Uncle is too much! Say yes to bring gifts to Dina!"
"Dena doesn't listen! Dina is angry!"
"Don't listen, don't listen ..."
"......"
"......"
Liu Mang completely forgot to buy a gift for Little Loli. In the past, when he went to play away, Liu Mang would bring a little gift for every away game. This 9 days and 6 games is really too tired, mentally. , Liu Mang completely forgot this matter.
Has been coaxing for a long time, Dina still looks like "Ben Loli is very angry to cry to uncle", Liu Mang can't say anything.
Liu Mang didn't expect that the original purpose of going home was to relax his nerves, but now it's getting more tense. Little Loli's crying looks like he can't bear it.
Looking at Liu Mang's helplessness, the little devil in Dina's heart laughed.
"Uncle," Dina yelled.
"Yes!" Liu Mang responded quickly.
"Do you want Dina to forgive Uncle?" Dina asked.
"Dina, say everything you want! Uncle has money now!" Liu Mang decided to save money and avoid disaster.
Little Loli cried, first of all distressed, and then possibly domestic violence.
Although this really needs to be said, there is no blood relationship or family relationship, but the outside world thinks that they are a family, and it is just as tragic as Kidd and Artest.
When Liu Mang agreed, Dina ’s eyes suddenly turned from bleak to crying and shimmering.
Liu Mang saw Dina's expression change, and felt like she was being re-programmed!
Dina got into Liu Mang ’s arms and grabbed the clothes on Liu Mang ’s chest and said,
Uncle, uncle is going back to China in the summer, right, take Dina and mother back together, OK! Only bring Aida teacher, uncle is too bad Now! "
"..." Liu Mang finally understood, this little loli played for a long time, the original purpose is this!
Liu Mang just wanted to decisively refuse, but Xiao Loli was immediately crying again, Liu Mang's heart softened again ...
Liu Mang is so desperate that little Lori is not a good person!
……
……
Overall, when returning home, Liu Mang's mood was much more beautiful, and the irritability brought by the tight schedule was also dissipated a lot.
In the next 32 days, the Hawks played 18 games, 10 home games, and 8 away games.
5 full back to back!
This schedule is probably the first in NBA history.
Who is David Stern can't wait to open the Chinese market?
And the Hawks did have a good fight, playing really well in the past two months, playing a record of 24 wins and 7 losses, all advanced to the top eight in the division.
The Hawks' Westward Expedition has broadcast four games domestically, and the ratings are all red, continuously refreshing the NBA regular season's domestic ratings record.
After a night of rest, the Hawks started a new journey, that is, the last 32 days of 18 games.
First ushered in the Orlando Magic.
Now that the two teams are direct competitors, there is a feeling that either you are dead or I am dead. So Liu Mang and McGrady did not ask each other to have dinner together before the game. In the next three games, they are each other. The biggest opponent does not want to influence the game because of personal relationships.
And the Hawks later came to the top, the Magic opened higher and lower this year.
In the first 30 games, before the Grant Hill reimbursement, the Magic once ranked in the top three in the East. Tracy McGrady played the scoring performance at the beginning of this year, plus the rare and healthy Hill, the two teamed up in 30 games, there are indeed That kind of Jordan + Pippen feeling, but originally wanted to be Pippen's McGrady into Jordan's role, by McGrady as Jordan's Hill into Pippen's role.
It didn't last long. When Hill played 20 games, he suffered another injury and then sustained 10 games. He was forced to undergo surgery and was reimbursed again for the season.
And this time, not only the reimbursement this season, but also bacterial infections during the operation, a 40-degree high fever for three consecutive days, but fortunately, there was no danger and saved my life, but the doctor expects that Hill will need to be in the next year The hospital receives treatment, which means reimbursement directly for two consecutive seasons!
The Magic's record also fell, from the third to the fourth in the east, then the Hornets bucked the trend and climbed to the first place in the southeast division. The Magic fell directly from the fourth to the eighth, and then were defeated by the Eagles. Overtake.
At this time, the Magic's management also gave McGrady a "stumbling block". In order to get the Yugoslav shooting guard Gordon Kirissek who beat the Dream Team last summer, McGrady had the best relationship with the Magic. Teammate Mike Miller sent it out to replace the 99-year-old rookie who was drafted by the Mavericks in 1999 and only entered the NBA this year.
In terms of strength, Kirisek and Mike Miller are similar, but Mike Miller is only 23 years old, and Kirisek is 26 years old. The key is that McGrady has few friends and the Magic have the best relationship. It's Mike Miller.
Mainly, Mike Miller is a catcher and Kilisek needs to hold the ball.
For a series of Sao operations of the Magic team management, in the summer of 2000, Ben Wallace was replaced by Grant Hill, not giving Duncan his wife a charter opportunity, and the young best rookie pitcher for an older rookie ...
Of course, the idea of ​​using Ben Wallace for Grant Hill was a loss. McGrady knew that he was a bit behind. In that situation, Grant Hill played 74 games last season, last season, and was full time. Three of the previous four seasons have made more than 80 appearances ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Who knows he will be reimbursed as soon as he comes to magic, or will he be reimbursed for four consecutive years?
Others think that McGrady and Grant-Hill are different. McGrady was originally the spokesperson of the bad luck.
Maddy has no confidence in the Magic management.
But the more this is, McGrady wants to make the playoffs more!
Only in this way can I prove my worth, and it will be more valued by other teams!
This year is Tracy McGrady's real walk into people's eyes, selected as an All-Star starter, first lineup of the best lineup, top five regulars in the MVP ranking ...
Regardless of the Magic ’s management, McGrady ’s goal now is to make the playoffs! Show your value!
Especially in the three games against the Hawks, McGrady paid special attention to it. It is likely that these three games against the Hawks are the key battles of the two teams who can finally enter the top eight!
At six o'clock in the evening, Liu Mang was warming up in the dressing room, and the game started at seven.
Like Mandy, Liu Mang attaches great importance to the next three games, and it is best to win them all!
How crucial are these three games? Not only did Liu Mang and McGrady know, the Eagles coaching staff and players knew all about it, they were all warming up, watching video clips and thinking about how to play magic, today ’s magic and the last magic The lineup is very different!
Just when Liu Mang was repeatedly watching the poor and rare video collection of the Magic's new lineup, the system notice came.
"Ding ... Season mission release: Conquer the Son of Heavenly Jealousy."
