The day after defeating the Sonics, back-to-back, the Eagles coaching staff went beyond the players' expectations and began taking a break!

Only six games into the season, the coaching staff has already begun taking turns! Even Liu Mang didn't expect this.

There’s nothing Coach Kruger can do!

Who would have thought that we could reach the finals again last year? The new players don’t matter, the key is Tracy McGrady!

McGrady has played too hard this season, averaging only 32 minutes per game. However, his defensive enthusiasm is comparable to that of a 25-year-old in his mid-twenties. After all, McGrady is already 28 years old. Look at Francis's physical fitness at the age of 30.

Decline, rapid decline in physical fitness... The coaching staff is still very worried. McGrady's contract only expires in 2011. The team is currently developing in a good direction. McGrady is a very important part, and the coaching staff will not consider trading at this time.

problem, then sparing McGrady is the best adjustment.

Just like the Spurs, Duncan's playing time dropped sharply from 38 minutes per game last season to 31 minutes per game, and his data also dropped from 20.10 to 17 points, 11 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game.

The Spurs chose to use Duncan this season by reducing Duncan's playing time and improving Duncan's efficiency.

The biggest change for the Spurs was to increase the playing time of the substitutes and shift the core of the offense from Duncan to Parker. The effect was very good. The Spurs started with a 7-game winning streak.

Good experience must be learned, like the Spurs did by reducing playing time to protect Duncan. Coach Kruger of the Hawks felt that this was not enough, so he simply did not let McGrady play back-to-backs. Unless it was a strong opponent, otherwise he would simply go back-to-back.

rest.

In addition to McGrady, Kwame Brown was also rested.

Jason Terry on the bench is okay, mainly McGrady and Kwame Brown. They have played too many games in the past few years, playing more than 100 games every year.

When they played the Bucks back-to-back, the Eagles fielded a lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Grant Hill, Marion, and O'Neal Jr. The team cannot lack high school students, which is the tradition of the Eagles...

You also have to choose your opponents when taking turns. Coach Kruger made this decision because his opponents were weak.

Unlike the Sonics, who were in chaos after changing to a new owner, the Bucks have a clear goal, which is to destroy the two talented players.

McGrady didn't play, Kwame Brown didn't play, and Liu Mang became very popular in this game.

Played for 40 minutes, 19 of 41 shots, 8 of 20 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, a surge of 53 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists. Rondo scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 15 assists. Scola and Jia came off the bench.

Terry and Gortat scored 30 points together, and the five of them jointly led the Eagles to 132 points in a single game!

When Liu Mang needed to focus on scoring, Rondo also organized the offense in a conventional way, helping the Hawks score the highest single-game score in the league so far this season.

132 to 110, the Hawks didn't even have to defend. They were too far ahead and didn't even need to defend. The 22-point difference killed the Bucks, who didn't even have Reid!

In the first six games, Liu Mang looked like he had switched to a point guard, suddenly setting a new season single-game scoring record!

The previous record was held by Wizards power forward Antoine Jamison with 49 points in a single game. Liu Mang wanted to compete and overtake him in an instant!

…

After playing the Bucks, the Hawks took a day off. On November 13th, they ushered in the ninth game of the season. The Wizards...

Liu Mang had just surpassed Jamison's season high score. Jamison really wanted to kill the Eagles to vent his hatred, but... after losing to the Bobcats at the playoff level, he met the Bobcats at the same playoff level.

The Wizards and Hawks are trying their best...

The Wizards are very strange, very strange. Arenas was reimbursed for the season. Fans and the media both felt that their season was over. The result was even better than last season... 6 wins and 3 losses. Before the Wizards met the Hawks, their record was as good as

The Magic are the same! And relying on their better record in the same division, the Wizards beat the Magic and ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference!

Without Arenas, the Wizards are not so afraid of the Hawks. They played very hard, but the Hawks also worked very hard. After McGrady and Kwame Brown took a break, they played very actively!

The Wizards' back line has changed from Arenas and Jarvis Hayes to veterans Antonio Daniels and DeShawn Stevenson. It is true that the offensive end has declined suicidally, but the defensive end has become several times stronger!

The winning points for the Hawks in today's game were McGrady's scoring and Kwame Brown's and Marion's secondary offense.

McGrady made 14 of 25 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 9 of 13 free throws, and scored 41 points!

Coupled with Kwame Brown and Marion combining for 28 points and 25 rebounds, the Hawks defeated the Wizards 106-99 and once again won three consecutive victories!

Liu Mang scored 53 points in the last game against the Bucks. Today, he returned to the same state as at the beginning of the season, with 16 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists. Liu Mang played so freely. McGrady was the one scoring the most points at the critical moment.

McGrady's 41 points beat Jamison's 40 points to help the Hawks win.

Center Long also continued to play the team's command and organization of offense without direct assists.

In just his second year, Rondo is able to command a group of stars with ease, and Rondo's performance is increasingly praised by fans and media.

The data is average, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in this game, but Rondo's presence is too strong!

Liu Mang didn't know how Rondo developed into this. Geniuses are always difficult to understand. Liu Mang felt that Rondo may have felt that the team needed such a role, so he developed in this direction.

…

…

After defeating the Wizards on November 13 to win three consecutive games, the Hawks' record became 7 wins and 1 loss. After the first eight games, the record was very good, much better than last season.

The strong superiority of the overall strength is reflected. Taking the inside line as the basic point of tactics, and playing different tactics based on the different rotation composition of the inside line. Although this goal is a bit difficult, it will take a long time and a lot of energy to completely break in.

, but after playing eight games, certain results have been achieved.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, opponents may not be able to adapt to this sudden change of play that uses changes in the interior as the basic tactical point.

After eight games, the Hawks have 7 wins and 1 loss. Liu Mang averaged 26 points, 9.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, while averaging 3 turnovers per game.

If he hadn't only got two assists in one game, Liu Mang would still be able to maintain double digits in assists per game! But similarly, Liu Mang didn't score 53 points in that game, and his scoring average would not exceed 25 points per game.

This is something no one in the Eagles expected at the beginning.

In the year when Liu Mang led the league in assists, the Hawks played on the run and ranked first in the league in points per game, even higher than the Suns.

It’s not that Liu Mang’s organizational skills are not good, they are also top-notch. However, at the beginning of this season, the Eagles mostly spent time with their new teammates to adapt to the positional style of play, running and playing. Liu Mang’s average of 10 assists per game is not a big problem.

Back then, those flying eagles were able to run fast, but it was very difficult for Liu Mang to average 10 assists per game in positional battles.

But in eight games this season, Liu Mang averaged 9.5 assists in 35 minutes per game...

Even Rondo, the core of the team, did not expect Liu Mang's second pass to be so wonderful... which made Rondo even more delighted to devote himself to organizing the offense in a commanding manner.

However, Rondo's face showed no signs of happiness or displeasure, and Liu Mang didn't know what he was thinking.

Anyway, Rondo hummed occasionally and seemed to be in a good mood. Liu Mang was happy to enjoy the joy of setting the ball. As a transfer station, he kept the ball in hand and sent it to teammates who had opportunities. That kind of low ball possession rate

The high assist efficiency style of play is so charming.

Liu Mang didn't expect that he and Rondo would have such a chemical reaction at first!

However, the next game is a key battle for the Eagles to verify the results of running-in!

In the first eight games, the only powerful opponent was the Suns in the opening game. Including the preseason, it was considered a run-in for 16 games. In fact, the Suns were defeated by Gasol, who suddenly appeared and could defend the current stage.

O'Neal's guys were confused and did not pose a substantial threat to the Hawks. They won the game smoothly in the fourth quarter.

The next opponent is the Eagles training camp, the first real rival after the preseason and the first eight games of the regular season!

San Antonio Spurs!

From the start of the regular season on October 27th to November 14th, the season started 18 days ago, and most teams have already played 9 to 11 games.

The Eagles have only played 8 games, and their record of 7 wins and 1 loss ranks first in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers have 7 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, and the Bulls also have 7 wins and 2 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors are ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference with 6 wins and 3 losses. The Magic are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 7 wins and 3 losses because they are not first in the division and do not have the Cavaliers or Bulls with a good record. The Wizards are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 6 wins and 4 losses.

Sixth, the Bobcats are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 6 wins and 5 losses. Starting from eighth place in the Eastern Conference, their winning percentage is less than 50%.

In the West, the Lakers are ranked second in the Western Conference with 7 wins and 2 losses, and the Hornets are ranked third in the Western Conference with 6 wins and 3 losses. Starting from fourth in the Western Conference to ninth in the Western Conference, the Jazz, Suns, Rockets, Nuggets, Mavericks,

Trail Blazers...all 6 wins and 4 losses!

The records of the top nine in the Western Conference are about to explode! It feels like they are all likely to win at least 50 games in the Western Conference playoffs!

On the other hand, the Warriors, ranked tenth in the Western Conference, started... miserably...

The Warriors struggled to reach the playoffs last season. The Black Eight Mavericks were a miracle, but their strength was just that. They also lost Jason Richardson. They started with 3 wins and 7 losses. The Kings and Clippers won.

After two games, the Grizzlies and SuperSonics only won one, and the Timberwolves... started an 11-game losing streak...

The top nine in the Western Conference have started a huge melee. Even the Lakers and Hornets may fall out of the top eight if they accidentally lose two or three games in a row! It’s crazy!

This has something to do with the fact that in the summer, stars from several weak teams in the West moved to strong teams, and some stars from the East were forced to move to the West.

However, there is also a breath of fresh air among the top nine in the Western Conference...
