112. Denver Nuggets, second stop of the Western Expedition

I wipe it!

Liu Mang finally understood Rahim's weird smile, which was pushing his brother into a pit of fire!

Raheem is actually friends with the Roaring Lord!

A guy with a lukewarm personality and a guy with a bad temper are actually friends. What a great combination!

Looking at Rasheed Wallace's ferocious face and wide-open eyes, Liu Mang felt very sick. This guy wouldn't want to fight here!

Depend on!

Liu Mang looked at the body of center Rasheed Wallace. He was tall and strong. Although he was tall and strong among ordinary people, he was a weakling compared to the big guy in front of him!

but!

Liu Mang will never give up in a fight! He has two great skills... Although he has not made much progress, he will never give up in a fight!

Just when Liu Mang was imagining various fighting scenes in his head, suddenly Rasheed Wallace grinned and showed a bright smile.

"Hello, I didn't expect it to be you. Your name seems to be Liu, right? I thought Sharif gave the tickets to another female fan. I didn't expect you Eagles to also have people who like to watch operas." Rasheed Wallace whispered.

.

"I can't go to the nightclub. Sharif was afraid that I would be bored and asked me to come and watch the show." Liu Mang replied subconsciously.

"Oh, that's it. In fact, opera is also very interesting. You can watch more and don't think about playing basketball all day long. It's too violent." Rasheed Wallace said something that frightened Liu Mang.

Um... Liu Mang now has a yellow face with a question mark. What's going on?

That bright smiling face, and, are you kidding when you tease Raheem?

Also, don’t be too violent?

Watching Rasheed Wallace watching the opera quietly, Liu Mang wanted to tear this guy's face off, but once again took stock of the physical gap between the two parties and gave up on this very creative idea.

Is this the roaring god? The violent power forward?

Liu Mang really wants to ask him if he has a twin brother or older brother playing in the NBA! The style of painting is so inconsistent!

There were no fights, no quarrels, and the game was not even mentioned. Occasionally, he would chat a few words and still care about whether the younger generation was used to the fast pace of the NBA. He was simply a good gentleman!



I was so dizzy after watching an opera that the Roaring God was definitely fake! Liu Mang didn’t believe it! The Roaring God off the court was actually such a gentle person, and even drove Liu Mang back to the hotel for fear that he would be raped by Trail Blazers fans on the road.

recognize.

This world is really weird!

After returning to the hotel, Liu Mang asked the hotel attendant to borrow a computer and curiously looked up things related to Rasheed Wallace.

Yes, check to see if this guy has a history of schizophrenia.

The fine analysis did not find it, but unexpectedly found many charity activities outside the venue of Roaring Tianzun, mainly in local forums in Portland. These days, there is no real public forum or website with a network-wide nature, and more

Groups prefer to chat in local circles.

This is normal. Just like when Liu Mang was in elementary school in his previous life, he played Legends and Jianghu. He liked to play in an area where people from the local city gathered. These days, it is not like the distance between people will become smaller in the future when communication becomes more convenient.

In older generations, people still like to play with people they know.

In December 1999, Rasheed Wallace donated the first month's salary of his new contract to rebuild an orphanage that had burned down.

In January 2000, Rasheed Wallace participated in an auction for children with cerebral palsy to promote.

February 2000…

May 2000…

2001……

Damn it! Liu Mang really didn’t realize that this Roaring God was actually a philanthropist! He actually spent his own money to buy a few meals of drinking water during the offseason when the neighboring state was short of water and rented a fire brigade car to deliver water to the slums.

.

“Sometimes you can’t just look at a person’s appearance to determine your impression of a person!”

Liu Mang felt a little guilty. His dirty trick against Rasheed Wallace on the field was a bit hurtful!

After feeling guilty for three seconds, Liu Mang almost felt guilty enough. He took out his cell phone and saved the phone number Rasheed Wallace gave him.

There are also people with mobile phones, but there are not many phones in them. They are basically for teammates, landlords, little lolita, seniors, and only one for opponents.



Early the next morning, the Eagles flew to the Denver Plateau. Their opponent in the second game of the Western Expedition was the Nuggets.

The altitude here in Denver is about the same as that in Atlanta. It's actually more comfortable here. Except that it's a lot colder than Atlanta, everything else is fine.

Other teams will have more or less adverse reactions when they come to Denver. Of course, those with strong physical fitness can be immune. The plateau is not particularly high, only about 2,000 meters above sea level.

If a certain division is particularly strong, and the top ten are very strong, the teams at the bottom will inevitably be particularly fierce. For example, since the 1990s, Jordan forced a large number of stars from the East to travel westward, and the Western Conference became the Wild West.

If you don't win 50 games in the playoffs, you can't say you're a sure shot.

The top ten teams in the Western Conference are very strong, but after the top ten they are shockingly bad. The Nuggets have always been a team like this.

The reason is very simple. Western Conference teams play 52 games a year against Western Conference teams. Now there are only 14 teams in the Western Conference. Weak teams have a greater chance of playing against strong teams, which makes them better off than the bottom teams in the Eastern Conference.

Be miserable.

The Nuggets were originally pretty good, ranking 10th in the Western Conference last season with 40 wins and 42 losses, but this year they were unlucky. The best player on the team last season averaged 20-10 per game for the past three consecutive years and was ranked No. 1 in the All-Star team.

Antonio McDyess, the top center of the third team, ruptured his cruciate ligament during the training camp and was ended for the season. He was only 27 years old and had just reached his personal peak. He suffered a Rose-style devastating injury. At only 2.06 meters, he was originally relying on

Because of his physical fitness, he is rampant in the paint, and when he encounters this kind of injury, he basically bids farewell to the ranks of stars.

Originally, there was such an All-Star center, and he was only 27 years old. It was time for the Nuggets to achieve results. In the summer, they also introduced Juwan Howard, Antonio McDyess, and former Lakers All-Star Nick Van Exe.

They formed a trident combination together, but Antonio McDyess fell, Juwan Howard and Nick Van Exel didn't show up at all, and they started off with 0 wins and 6 losses.

When the doctor confirmed that from a medical point of view, Antonio McDyess was basically unable to return to his pre-injury state, the Nuggets had no choice but to fail.

The core!

Without core players, what can you do to achieve results?

Juwan Howard is a good power forward, but only good. He averages 17.7 per game, which is pretty good. But the Nuggets can get him for almost free simply because his salary of 20 million this season is too expensive. The Mavericks are almost

It was given to them for free.

Before the start of the season, this game against the Nuggets was originally classified by the team's coaching staff as a key game like the game against the Trail Blazers, and was considered a difficult game.

As a result, when we met now, we found that the other party had become weak...

The Eagles played steadily after coming up, and the Nuggets were focused on playing bad. Soon the Eagles took a big advantage.

By the time Liu Mang came on the court in the second quarter, the point difference had been stretched to more than 10 points.

In the second team, coach Kruger hopes that Liu Mang can further widen the point difference and establish the victory early. The next step is to play back-to-back games between the SuperSonics and the Kings that are so difficult that they want to cry.

Liu Mang had the same idea. He wanted to perform well as soon as possible and couldn't wait to get the three or four hundred superstar points that were standard for this game.

But often the more impatient and impulsive you are, the more likely you are to have problems.
