In the past thirty years, the only player in the NBA who can compete with Kobe Bryant is the legendary man, Michael Jordan. In the 1986-1987 season, he set a record of 14.4 irons per game that even Liu Mang could not match. However, this year, Jordan

I can only accept defeat!

Kobe averaged 14.5 irons per game, setting a new record for irons per game since the merger of the NBA and ABA!

When Liu Mang saw Kobe's iron shooting data, he was also surprised. It was so scary! He thought about how he had swung like that last year, and he only averaged 14.1 irons per game. How did he hit 14.5 irons per game?

of……

Liu Mang checked Yao Ming's statistics by the way. Yao Ming played 75 games, averaging 14 shots per game, with a 61% field goal percentage, 8.5 field goals per game, and 22 points and 11 rebounds per game.

Yao Ming did not take more shots than Kobe did!

Liu Mang calculated that if Kobe Bryant's phone was given to Yao Ming, Yao Ming would average 44 points per game!

Liu Mang checked Kobe's specific statistics. He averaged 27.3 shots per game, made 12.8 field goals per game, shot 46.9% from the field, and averaged 36.1 points per game.

Liu Mang understood that Kobe found it difficult to surpass Jordan by taking the traditional route, so he took an alternative route!

Create a blacksmithing record that no one can break!

Liu Mang and Iverson were unable to compete with Kobe Bryant in their peak iron-producing seasons, so they had no choice but to be defeated...

…

…

On April 19th, after a day of exhaustion, Liu Mang had a good sleep and regained his nerves.

I didn't get up until 7:30 in the morning on the 20th. The little girl lay down next to Liu Mang and fell asleep. Originally, the little girl had washed up at 6 o'clock and came down to join Liu Mang for a morning run. But she saw Liu Mang sleeping so hard.

Zhengxiang didn't disturb Liu Mang and fell asleep next to Liu Mang.

He quickly woke up the little girl who was dizzy from her sleep, had a quick bite to eat, and sent the little girl and her bodyguard to school. Liu Mang also came to Phillips Arena and started preparing for the playoffs.

Prepare for your first-round opponent.

Phillips Arena still has traces of yesterday's event to thank the fans. It's not that it wasn't cleaned up, but there were too many people participating, and there was still a lot of debris on the streets outside the arena.

Yesterday, more than 50,000 people participated in the Eagles' lottery to give away 10 first-tier season tickets. Today, the garbage thrown by those fans on the streets has not yet been cleaned up.

I have to say that this can be considered revenue generation. The labor required to clean the streets is still very expensive for the US imperialists.

Liu Mang came to the arena to warm up and started shooting training. At about nine o'clock, his teammates came one after another.

At ten o'clock, a tactical meeting was held regarding the first round of the playoffs against the Pacers. The coaching staff had a day off in the afternoon to allow the players to take a rest.

For the Eagles, 73 wins has brought huge popularity and income, but for the Eagles players, a good record also brings some troubles. There are too many activities to participate in, which affects their physical fitness.

The Pacers, who only had a record of 39 wins and 43 losses in the first round of the playoffs, the Eagles coaching staff did not make too many training arrangements. They can relax a little and let the players take a rest before the opening game of the playoffs on the 21st.

All series have home-field advantage, which is important for the Hawks as they don't have to travel long distances to play away from home in the first game of each series.

After the tactical meeting, most of the teammates went home to rest. Only Granger, a rookie, stayed to train two sets of shooting with Liu Mang. Granger gave Liu Mang the impression that he was very silent and did not talk much.

But he works hard, which Liu Mang appreciates very much.

Liu Mang practiced shooting for an extra hour in the afternoon and was going to go home to rest and watch the Pacers' video. Tomorrow is the opening game of the playoffs.

…

"Ace, do you think I can win the Sixth Man of the Year award?"

"Ace, my performance should be okay, right?"

"I didn't win the Sixth Man of the Year award last year, but I really want to win it this year..."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang listened to Jason Terry chattering to himself, seemingly asking him, but Jason Terry's mouth didn't stop, and Liu Mang couldn't answer the question even if he wanted to.

Yesterday, the entire Eagles team looked exhausted due to many activities on the 19th. Liu Mang was still a little worried, but now it seems that the teammates are mainly mentally exhausted. After a night's rest, they are all full of energy again.

appearance.

This morning, after Liu Mang received the assists champion trophy from NBA officials, Jason Terry was no longer calm.

Last year, Ben Gordon snatched away the Sixth Man of the Year Award. Jason Terry was very depressed because he could not win the Sixth Man of the Year Award for two consecutive years like Liu Mang.

This year, Jason Terry is even more worried. Last year he was the Hawks' second-leading scorer, but this year he is only the fourth-leading scorer. During the regular season, he led the water-cooler lineup to play around in garbage time and put his own

When the data is low, I don't feel anything wrong, and I still have a lot of fun playing it.

But in the playoffs, when it came to awards, Jason Terry began to lose his composure.

Liu Mang originally wanted to comfort Jason Terry. It didn't matter if he didn't win the award, and with such a good record, the media voting would definitely favor him, but he couldn't get in. This guy just wanted to find someone to listen.

He speaks.

"Ace, hey, it's all my fault. I was too careless. If I had known I would have scored two more points per game... Hey, hey, Ace, don't leave. I haven't finished speaking yet. Why don't you comfort me?

…”

Comfort you! Did you give me a chance to speak? Liu Mang didn't care anymore, left Jason Terry who was thinking about it, and went to discuss the playoff strategy with Tracy McGrady.

"Tracy, let's change our style of play in the playoffs!" Liu Mang said to McGrady.

"I think so too. Your ball rights are too concentrated in the regular season, and you will be easily targeted in the playoffs," McGrady responded.

Liu Mang won the assists title in the regular season, purely from a mission perspective. Last year, McGrady won the assists title in the regular season, but averaged only 7 assists per game in the playoffs.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Apart from Chamberlain and Magic Johnson, Liu Mang really can’t remember any other player who has won the championship while winning the assists title.

at this point.

Just like McGrady said, the ball is concentrated in the hands of one player and it is too easy to be targeted.

However, generally speaking, the team of the player who leads the assist team has a good record and is one of the seeded teams in the playoffs. Moreover, even if they want to not concentrate the ball in the playoffs, it is impossible for most of them.

For the player who leads the league in assists, his teammates all point to him passing the ball and scoring. Maybe it’s not that they don’t understand that it’s better to disperse the ball in the playoffs, such as the troika or the OK combination, and in the original time and space, Rondo, the Big Three in 2008, has not yet

Before they grew up, as well as the Heat's Big Three, the ball rights were relatively scattered. After Rondo grew up, the Celtics' ball rights were concentrated. Especially after 2010, the Big Three were not completely aged yet, but Rondo's ball rights were too concentrated.

After Rondo was injured in the playoffs, the Celtics' strength collapsed and they were beaten 4-1 by the Heat's Big Three.

But the Eagles are different!

Liu Mang is a fool. If he says his style of play should change, then he must change it!

Why do we find so many talented teammates and wait patiently for them to grow up? Isn't it just because they are talented and can withstand grass?

Having talent and being able to play versatile tactics is an important reason why Liu Mang has found so many young and talented teammates.

Otherwise, in terms of strength and stability, it is very important for the defending champion to find a group of veterans in their early 30s. However, the Hawks did not make a big deal last summer and did not use Iguodala or Josh Smith as bargaining chips in exchange for them.

Those high-quality role players are better suited to his sudden ideas because of the rookie bonus, and young players with talent and strength.

Just like at the beginning of the regular season, Liu Mang, who was number one in the league and was playing well, suddenly said he wanted to win the assists title, and his teammates had to change accordingly.

Liu Mang and McGrady discussed it and went to find Coach Kruger. Fortunately, in yesterday's tactical meeting, Coach Kruger arranged a tactical play that did not regard Liu Mang and McGrady as the assist leaders, which was the regular Liu Mang style.

, McGrady, Rasheed-Wallace's three-core tactics, with McGrady's experience of winning the assists title last year, coach Kruger also knows how to arrange tactics for Liu Mang.

The team has great talent but is so willful.

At 10 o'clock at noon, the Eagles conducted two 40-minute tactical training sessions against the Pacers. After lunch, the players took a break in the afternoon and watched and studied videos. In the evening, the Eagles began to warm up for the postseason.

Sai is already here!

…

…

At 7:50 in the evening on April 21, 2006, there were still 40 minutes left before the game started at 8:30, and the players from both teams had already entered the stadium.

In the Eagles' playoff opener, there is a very important thing, the regular season championship banner!

After following the method used by league officials to win over Chinese fans in the opening game of this year's regular season, the Eagles management also learned from it. After discussing with league officials, they made two flags and reduced the size of the Eagles logo. Each side has a small

The Eagles team logo. On the red and blue championship flag of the Eagles, one side is in English and the other side is in Chinese. It says the 2005-2006 regular season championship and record, as well as the team's coaching staff, players, and bosses.

name.

Although he knew that this was a way for the management to win over Chinese fans, and more importantly to win over him and want to build a deeper player-team bond with him, Liu Mang still felt very excited!

Liu Mang knew that he was already tied to the Eagles, and the team had done everything that could be good for him.

But Liu Mang has been ready for a long time. He wants to turn the Eagles into the Bulls like Michael Jordan, and will always be remembered by NBA fans for their glorious years. He even wants to let the Eagles become the Bulls after his death.

In his career, it is impossible to become the third-largest team in NBA history and catch up with the Lakers and Celtics. That cannot be achieved by one generation of players. Both the Lakers and Celtics have experienced the glory of several generations of players.
