Chapter 806: 805. Hurt Each Other

Charlotte, the Hawks haven't been here in over a year.

However, the current Eagles don't have much thought to miss the time when they played against the teams here before.

The Atlanta Welfare Team is always the last in the Caring League.

The Bobcats, which lost five games in a row at the beginning, met the Eagles, which is temporarily tied for the first place in the Eastern Conference. The goal of the season is to pick a high-ranking pick and choose an outside core.

With Okafor as the inside core, he can play much better than the No. 1 pick, and with Gerald Wallace as the striker, he is young, talented and capable. He is only 22 years old and has a limitless future. The core of the ball, Blevin Knight's data looks good, but he is like Kendall Marshall in the future, a pure assist brush, dribbling for more than ten seconds, passing teammates to throw, of course he can also pass well The ball, but it takes too long to control the ball, and with a height of 1.78 meters, there is no defense at all, so it is very suitable to use it badly.

Mr. Joe knew that the team was bad, and it must be bad, but he didn't want to see Liu Mang abuse his team, so he went to Los Angeles for a trip these days, and discussed the trade with the Lakers by the way.

However, the Bobcats' title of "Strong Team Nemesis" began in the first year of entering the NBA!

As if the Eagles were on fire, the Bobcats were too accurate outside today!

When Blevin Knight, who has played for more than seven years in his career, has only made 34 three-pointers in total, and made 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single game, the Bobcats' outside lines are all booming!

The Bobcats threw a total of 27 three-pointers and made 14 of them!

For the Eagles, three-pointers are normal, 9 of 24 shots, Liu Mang also scored 31 points, McGrady scored 20 points and 8 assists, and his performance was quite normal.

But the Eagles were killed by the Bobcats because of their normal performance!

Because the Eagles performed normally and scored 102 points, not bad, but the Bobcats scored 114 points!

Okafor scored 30 points and 11 rebounds, Gerald Wallace made 4 of 7 three-pointers, scored 31 points on 11 of 20 shots from the field, and added inexplicably blessed outside pitchers. up!

Okafor and Gerald Wallace both scored 30+, setting new career highs...

It’s not that the Eagles are not good at defense. Defense is about strategy. If you pinch an efficient scorer and help defend an efficient scorer, you will inevitably miss someone, and the player who misses is often the most inaccurate player in the opponent’s COSCO.

But when Blevin Knight made 3 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 8 shots in the game, and scored 14 points, all of which were COSCO shots, and had 13 assists, and those Bobcats who usually made countless irons All right, players.

There is no way to prevent this!

At the end of the game, Liu Mang saw Kobe sitting with Odom and Butler laughing!

The bastard! Liu Mang said that he didn't see this bastard, and he didn't invite him to dinner... Of course, if the little blacksmith treats guests, that's another matter.

The Bobcats are miserable. They must have no strength in their first season in the league, so they are regarded as a cash machine for other teams' records. The league doesn't even consider them even a star. They have 19 back-to-backs in a single season... but there are more than two If there are rest days of five or more days, the schedule is as unreasonable as possible.

Just like now, the Bobcats have a back-to-back at home, playing the Eagles first and then the Lakers.

Few of the fans at the scene came to see the Bobcats, but to see the stars of the Eagles and Lakers, but most of them were locals from Charlotte. Seeing the local team win, the East tied for first place , of course happy!

In fact, the Bobcats are not the worst team this season.

No, there is a team that has also stayed here that is worse than them. The Hornets just finished their seventh game this afternoon. They have lost seven games in a row...

The Bobcats won today, allowing the Hornets to enjoy the last place in the league.

After seeing the Bobcats win a regular season game, Okafor, the No. 2 overall pick, celebrated with his teammates. Just like the Chinese New Year, Liu Mang was very depressed at first, but he couldn't get depressed anymore.

I think they were the same back then. They were all celebrating when they won the Lakers and Spurs once. Thinking of that time, Liu Mang felt a little ashamed.

Forget it, it’s going to lose after all. After the five-game winning streak, the team became a little impetuous. This is the side effect of the so-called strong mentality. Not only other people, Liu Mang felt that he was a little careless after the easy five-game winning streak. Seeing that it was the Bobcats, he thought about how to abuse the Bobcats in a fancy way, but was caught off guard by the opponent's outburst.

Too underestimating the enemy!

But fortunately, it was nothing to lose to the bottom team in the league.

Liu Mang and Mai Di looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and returned to the locker room.

As soon as he opened the locker room, Liu Mang found that the phone had just rang.

Liu Mang was very curious, who hit it?

The news of the loss spread so quickly? its not right! There is no national broadcast of this game. The Bobcats seem to have only two live broadcasts of the opening game and the curtain call throughout the season.

Liu Mang picked up the phone and looked at it, really wanting to hang up right away.

It's Kobe!

Liu Mang had a very bad premonition, should he hang up?

After thinking about it, let's pick it up.

Just as Liu Mang got connected, before he could speak, there was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone: "Hahahahahaha... Ace Liu actually lost to the bottom one in the league, hahahaha, it's really useless, there are so many helpers Still so useless...hahahahaha...beep beep beep..."

Liu Mang was frightened by the madman's laughter, and he didn't have time to respond for a while. Just after he realized it, the other party had already hung up the phone!

"The god damn bastard, you actually figured out the time to call and laugh at me!"

...

...

At noon on the 8th, the Eagles returned to Atlanta. After a four-game winning streak, there were five consecutive home games. The schedule is still very friendly to the Eagles. Of course, it is only from November to January, and it will start to be difficult later on. up.

Just after four consecutive away games, the Eagles returned to Atlanta for a day off. They will have training tomorrow, the afternoon of the 9th. On the 10th, they will play against the Nuggets at home to kick off five consecutive home games.

Liu Mang sent McGrady home first, then returned home, took out the faxed and summarized scouting report received by the coaching staff last night when he just returned to Atlanta, and briefly looked at the scouting report for the next five games. The situation of the opponent's opening is all in it.

Nuggets, Hornets, Trail Blazers, Heat, Rockets.

The Heat and Rockets are on the 15th and 17th, which is the difficult schedule in the second half of November.

However, apart from the Nuggets in the first three games, the others were relatively easy.

The game is played one game at a time, and the regular season is still long.

Liu Mang took a look at the start of the entire league. Almost all the teams have played six to seven games. You can see what is going on with each team in the league. The teams that need to make adjustments are all It may be necessary to adjust, and it is time to start thinking about this deal. Similarly, it is also time for teams that want to strengthen or want to send away team assets in exchange for immediate combat power.

After the Eagles lost to the Bobcats, their record became 5 wins and 1 loss, which was surpassed by the Pistons.

The Pistons started with a 7-game winning streak!

Liu Mang was shocked when he saw it! The new head coach of the Pistons is amazing!

Coach Philip Sanders, Liu Mang recalled that Larry Brown was fired one year in advance, and coach Philip Sanders, who was at home, was invited out by the Pistons one year in advance.

In the original history, in the 04-05 season, the Pistons only won 54 wins in the regular season. After losing in the finals, Larry Brown was immediately fired. If he hadn’t won the championship in 2004, he might have been fired at that time. Yes, the relationship between him and the players was extremely bad, and then coach Philip Sanders took over the Pistons. In the 05-06 season, he won the best 64 wins in the history of the Pistons. Good record.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang felt that Philip Saunders was amazing!

Look at the Timberwolves, led by McHale, started with 1 win and 5 losses.

It can cultivate iron-blooded tough guys and lead defensive teams to play a good offense!

Liu Mang looked at the statistics of the Pistons at the beginning of this year. They averaged 97 points per game and 90 points per game in conceded points. Although the gap with last season's 83 points conceded per game is a bit big, the average defense in the league is declining this year. Pistons In this way, the team is already the second best defensive team in the league at the beginning, and the first best is the Spurs.

In terms of scoring, the Pistons are at least in the middle of the league!

The Pistons are a bit strong!

But...Liu Mang saw that the Pistons have become more powerful and have a good coach, but he just doesn't like the Pistons...he just has that kind of self-confidence that can kill them...

The Eagles ranked second in the East with 5 wins and 1 loss, the Nets ranked third with 4 wins and 3 losses, and the Heat ranked fourth with 5 wins and 2 losses. The unlucky Heat were ranked first in the division by the Nets. You have to die.

The Pacers ranked fifth with 5 wins and 2 losses, the Bulls ranked sixth with 4 wins and 3 losses, the 76ers ranked seventh with 3 wins and 3 losses, and the Celtics ranked eighth with 3 wins and 3 losses.

On the west side, if you only look at the second to eighth, they are the Spurs, Supersonics, Mavericks, Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets, and Grizzlies. hell!

No. 1 in the West, occupied by the Suns!

With a start of 6 wins and 1 loss, they rank first in the Western Conference!

"Nash is starting to take off! When will I be able to play against Nash who became the son of the wind? I'm looking forward to it! Let me see... cut, next year, it's boring." Liu Mang took out the player handbook and looked at the schedule. In 2004 No game against the Suns.

Learn about the situation of the opponents in the next few days, whether he is the number one center in the East, the number one center in the West, or the number one center in the league, come one... just double-team them!

There was no training in the afternoon, and Liu Mang was not idle. He practiced shooting by himself, mainly three-pointers with his right hand. His right-handed three-pointer ability exceeded 90. It has become an obsession, but the more anxious he is, the less serious it is Progress.

89 seems to be enough. Fans already regard Liu Mang as the number one three-pointer. After all, in the NBA now, except for Ray Allen, no one else has the ability to break through 90 three-pointers. Liu Mang is much more stable, relatively speaking, he has made fewer shots, and Liu Mang has more waves, so naturally he invests more.

Apart from him, there are only two players in the NBA who can reach Liu Mang's three-point shooting level, Peja's 89 and Ray Allen's 92.

However, the more anxious he was, the more he found that there was no progress. Liu Mang could only take his time and train step by step. He could only hope that after enough training, he would break through naturally.

This is the idea of ​​resignation after a month or two of anxiety, or, in case of hell, if you are lucky, you will be rewarded for completing a set of 100 three-point tasks in 300 seconds or 100 three-point tasks in 200 seconds...

After Liu Mang finished his training, he returned to his room and was just about to take a shower when the phone rang.

It's Maddie!

As soon as he picked it up, Liu Mang had an ominous premonition, and immediately pulled the phone away from his ears.

Sure enough, there was another loud shout on the other end of the phone: "Ace, Kobe was killed by the Bobcats!"

The Lakers are lore?

Immediately, Liu Mang asked excitedly but not sure: "Tracey, is what you said true?"

"Of course, Ace, look on the Internet... eh... I haven't finished talking yet..."

Liu Mang couldn't hear the second half of the sentence, so he threw the phone away and ran to the computer to check the news.

The Lakers lost to the Bobcats 115 to 116 in three overtimes! Kobe Bryant scored a key three-pointer with four seconds left in the third stance to overtake by one point, but in the end he failed to guard against Gerald Wallace and couldn't keep up. Gerald Wallace made a layup lore with 5 points!

Kobe played really well with 32 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. His shooting percentage was 12 of 24. The combination of scoring and passing couldn't be better. Rad Wallace...but Okafor had 23 points and 25 rebounds, and Blevin Knight had 21 points and 17 assists. The performance of the two exploded and forced the game to the third overtime. kill!

Okafor has become one of the few rookie players who can get double 20 in his rookie season. Howard was questioned about how he was selected first overall. Up to now, he has 8 points and 8 rebounds, which is actually very good, but he couldn’t stand Okafor’s start. Average 16+13 per game!

Liu reckoned that Mr. Joe must have regretted it very much. Although the team won the Hawks and the Lakers in the beginning, although the team had a big explosion, it was mainly because Blevin Knight at the point guard position exploded too much, but he was able to play on the ball. The team had such a bright spot in the first season. As the team actually controlled it but didn't see it with their own eyes, it was absolutely depressing to death.

But this had nothing to do with Liu Mang. Liu Mang immediately dialed a number 8 player who flew from the west coast to the east coast to send warmth.

It rang for ten seconds, probably after hesitating for a while, Liu Mang finally heard "Hello..."

Without waiting for the other party to continue talking, Liu Mang immediately sprayed: "Hahahahahaha..., Kobe Bryant also has today? He actually lost to the back-to-back team with the bottom one in the East and the bottom two in the league. Without O'Neal, what are you doing?" Will not work!"

"Snapped"

hang up!
