"Coach, why are we going to Miami? Can't we watch live TV?" Liu Mang asked strangely.

"We played the Cavaliers game the night before yesterday, and Riley came to our arena." Coach Kruger responded.

"That's it, that's okay. It's close anyway, and we can come back in the evening."

On the afternoon of April 5, Liu Mang, the coaching staff, Tracy McGrady, Calderon, Iguodala and other teammates went to Miami to watch the Cavaliers' away game against the Heat.

The Heat performed strongly. When James faced big centers like Yao Ming and O'Neal, his performance was average. He was better at dealing with opponents like Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown who were better mobile and better at jumping. He was better at dealing with Yao Ming.

, centers like O'Neal who occupy a large area inside, or insiders like Duncan who don't like to jump, performed very poorly.

James, who scored 37 points against Kwame Brown the day before yesterday, played against the Heat today with O'Neal and only made 4 of 15 shots. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists with his divine whistle. The Cavaliers lost 73-101.

Nearly 30 minutes.

So far, James has played against Yao Ming 6 times and his shooting rate is only 35%. He has played against O'Neal 7 times and his shooting rate is only 39%.

In the original time and space in Liu Mang's memory, James played against Yao Ming for six years in his career, from James' rookie season to the 2008-09 season when James won his first MVP. The last time James played against Yao Ming, his shooting percentage was only 3%.

For more than ten years, James rarely faced Yao Ming whose shooting percentage exceeded 40%, and he played badly every time.

Liu Mang watched this game and recalled that when James beat Howard, Garnett, a big man with good mobility and love to jump, had a 50-50 winning rate when these two were at their peak, but

When playing against Yao Ming, James only won 3 times and lost 8 times in his career; when playing against Duncan and O'Neal, he also lost more and won less. He played against O'Neal with 7 wins and 12 losses. When playing against Duncan, the winning rate in the regular season was not bad, and he had 5 wins and 11 losses in the playoffs.

burden.

In the past, James was still weak and Liu Mang did not consider these things. Now James is getting stronger and stronger. According to the original history, even if James does not have good teammates to join him, he only has one All-Star teammate, Larry Hughes.

With Z having passed his peak, James would have been at MVP level in the 2006-07 season and be able to lead the team to the finals. If it weren't for the emergence of the Celtics' Big Three and Howard entering his peak period, James would have started in the fourth grade.

He will rule the east.

Liu Mang began to make progress earlier than he had in history, and James, who began to polish his skills, became wary of James. It was necessary to recruit a big center!

But there is no need to rush for the time being. The season is not over yet. Liu Mang keeps this in mind. When the summer draft comes, the Hawks still have two second-round picks and a lottery protection from the Jazz.

Liu Mang now very much hopes that the Jazz can reach the playoffs. His team can have a first-round pick in the summer. The Jazz are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference, with the same record as the eighth-ranked Hornets.

…

After watching the game between the Cavaliers and the Heat, the Hawks returned to Atlanta in the evening. The next day, the Hawks began to prepare for the game against the 76ers.

Playing against the 76ers is much more serious than playing against the Cavaliers. This is a team with a real MVP.

The Eagles held a team tactical meeting at nine o'clock in the morning, followed by two tactical training sessions to train the 76ers.

The focus is on the first and fourth small lineups of Iverson and Webb, Childress, Samuels, Matt Barnes, and the 76ers' sixth man, former Eagles player Willie.

Green.

Iverson averaged 28.4 points, 4 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game this season. He averaged 43 minutes per game, ranking first in the league. He didn't look like a 31-year-old short guard at all. His shooting percentage was 46.2%, a career high.

, in addition to height, physical talent is really good.

Weber averaged 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game this season. Weber's performance this season has been amazing. For the first time in his career, he played full attendance and didn't miss a game. He looks healthier than he was with the Kings. However, the defensive end has declined significantly. As a rebound in the shortened season

Wang only averaged 9 rebounds per game this season. Except for his season-ending third grade, his rebounds are currently a career low, and his assists are also a career low. It is obvious that he has declined.

But having such an inside teammate who can shoot, pass and play in isolation is already the best offensive inside teammate Iverson has ever encountered in his career.

The foundation of the 76ers is the core offensive combination of Iverson and Webber. Iverson's ability evaluation is 95, and Webber's ability evaluation is 85. A superstar leads a first-class star-level insider. In the Eastern Conference, it is impossible to reach the playoffs.

There is no problem in the game, and having a superstar will always give opponents a headache. The biggest difference between superstars and top stars is that they can really shake up a championship-level team on their own.

The Hawks must win at least five of the last seven games to break the Bulls' historical record.

Even tying with Liu Mang is unacceptable and must be broken! Otherwise, the third phase of the King's Landing mission will have to be postponed to next season!

In the next three consecutive home games, the weakest one is the 76ers. In order to ensure that they can break the historical record even if they lose to the Suns and Lakers, the relatively weak 76ers must win!

Not only Liu Mang thinks this way, but the coaching staff also thinks the same. In order to prepare for the next game against the Suns and Lakers, the two championship rivals, the Eagles are preparing to go into battle today with all their main players!

…

…

At 6:10 p.m., Liu Mang and his teammates entered the stadium of his team. The game against the 76ers was about to start at 6:30.

Before the game, Liu Mang and McGrady went to say hello to Iverson. The relationship between the three of them was getting better and better. Liu Mang heard from gossip that a guard who did not want to be named and had the highest player in the league as a teammate was angry with McGrady and McGrady.

Iverson's relationship is getting better and better, which makes me unhappy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, Liu Mang deliberately pulled Tracy McGrady to hug and take a photo with Iverson before the game, which was not broadcast live on the Imperial TV but was broadcast live on Time Warner nationwide...

Iverson's aloof character made him have very few friends in the NBA. Similar to Garnett, Iverson was "arrogant" and even more arrogant than Kobe. Garnett...

In the eyes of most people, it is deserved.

Matt Barnes has been wandering since he left the Hawks. His character is a big problem. In the Hawks, he was suppressed by a lot of big guys, so he never got restless. However, in other teams, he often clashed with his teammates.

But he is really good, and he has a championship title. He can find a job wherever he goes. After the third year of his previous three-year contract was refused, he signed another two-year, 7 million contract with the Knicks last summer. During the All-Star Weekend

Was sent to the 76ers by the Knicks.

Matt Barnes was one of Liu Mang's first teammates. He had a good relationship with his old teammates. He exchanged greetings, but it was just a greeting. After all, they had been separated for a long time, and they were not like the original Mitaka who hung out every day.

Come and play together.

…

At 6:30, as Rasheed Wallace roared, Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air, and the atmosphere of the Eagles team was stirred up by Rasheed Wallace!

It's getting closer and closer to the playoffs. The atmosphere at the Eagles' home court is even richer and it already feels like a playoff game.

Strong players like Iverson and Webber both felt the pressure from the fans of the visiting team.

The 76ers did not continue with a lineup of one large and four small today, and sent out a lineup of Iverson, Samuels, Childress, Webber, and Dalembert.

For the Hawks, the full lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown appeared.

The 76ers, who are now trying to ensure that they can enter the playoffs as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, played very hard at the beginning of the game, and they were no better than the Cavaliers the day before yesterday.

Iverson is playing very well this year, very well. He has an overall mid-range shooting percentage of 44%, especially the pull-up jumper from the free throw line, which is as high as 47%.

The two-point score was 44%, just a mid-range shot from close range... 30.9%, and the shooting percentage at the basket was still bad, 53%...

If the Hawks didn't send Rasheed Wallace, or if the 76ers insisted on playing one senior and four juniors and were not afraid of the Hawks' interior twin towers, Iverson might have been able to play better with better space.

Some.

But the head coach of the 76ers, Maurice Cheeks, did not have the courage to give up the one-year-old and four-small lineups that averaged 103 points per game this season. Instead, they sent out a twin-tower lineup with much lower offensive efficiency.

sharp decrease.

Although Iverson played very well today, making 9 of 22 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 9 of 11 free throws to score 29 points, 3 rebounds, and 10 assists, Webber performed poorly and returned to the power forward position, and his speed declined.

It has affected his performance at the power forward position. Although he is only 2.06 meters tall, Weber's current age and weight are more suitable for playing center. With Dalembert on the court, his range of activities inside is reduced and he can only play in the mid-to-long range.

In terms of passing and shooting, he only made 4 of 12 shots and scored 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang easily scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 14 assists, McGrady scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Korver scored 22 points, Jason Terry scored 17 points, and the Eagles finished with 109

Easily defeated the 76ers with a score difference of 12 points compared to 97.

The Hawks defeated the 76ers and won seven consecutive games, improving their record to 69 wins and 7 losses, tying the Bulls and Lakers for the third-highest number of wins in history.

This thing is not terrible. What is terrible is the way the Eagles faced the playoff teams and crushed them all the way!

So stable!

Although it's not as big a point difference as the Heat beat the Cavaliers in yesterday's showdown with James, it looks more stable!
