The gap is too big!

Like the Hawks, the Nets, Pistons, and Celtics played against Western Conference teams after the All-Star break, and each one suffered a disastrous defeat.

Especially the Celtics, with a series of hot performances before the All-Star Weekend, are about to overtake the Pistons and secure the third place in the Eastern Conference.

However, in recent games, we have faced the Jazz, Kings, and Mavericks one after another, and have suffered a three-game losing streak.

Immediately afterwards, the Celtics had to play at the home court of their old rival Lakers, and O'Neal happened to choose to come back in this game.

People all thought that the Celtics were going to be doomed.

However, Liu Mang had the impression that O'Neal was going to "consecrate" Pierce, and from then on Pierce would become the green-shirted soul who calls himself "the best man in the universe."

However, this does not have much impact on the overall dismal situation of the Eastern Conference.

The really strong teams all made great progress after the All-Star Weekend, but the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference began to collapse after the All-Star break and more Eastern and Western teams played against each other.

The Nets and Pistons, who originally had a similar record to the Hawks, now look like they may win 50 games!

The Nets have 20 games left, 39 wins and 23 losses, and the Pistons have 21 games left, 37 wins and 24 losses. The Celtics almost caught up with the Pistons, but they themselves also capsized, now 35 wins and 27 losses.

In other words, except for the Eagles, who played a tactic that was completely unclear to their opponents and escaped from the Eastern Conference, everyone else was beaten to death by the teams in the Western Conference!

If a series reaches a score of 4 to 0, it proves that before the series begins, the winning side not only does not despise the opponent because of its weakness, but takes it very seriously and studies the opponent thoroughly! Only then can there be a bloody situation.

.

And the most important point is that when the powerful center has been out of action, as Mutombo, Ratliff and others gradually get older, if it hadn't been for the emergence of Ben Wallace, the Eastern Conference's iron-blooded defense would have been helpless.

Thought it was continued.

In other words, the Iron-Blooded Eastern Conference, created by Bad Boys leader Chuck Daly and genius fortune teller Pat Riley, did not collapse because this style of play was cracked, but because of a shortage of talent.

collapsed.

…

…

In the last two months of the schedule, the Eagles have been as relaxed and comfortable as they were at the beginning of the season.

After playing the Wizards, the Eagles came to the warm south coast. After playing the Wizards, the Eagles had two days to rest and flew directly to Miami, where the next opponent was.

The hospitable Mourning called Rahim as soon as the Eagles arrived at the Miami hotel at noon and asked them to hang out with them.

This time Rahim brought Liu Mang!

Why do "adults" bring Liu Mang to their gatherings? In previous gatherings, they all thought that Liu Mang couldn't drink or go to nightclubs. It was too intrusive, but this time he brought him?

It was because after Moning suffered from kidney disease, he abstained from drinking and sex at all the parties he attended or hosted, so Liu Mang was finally able to attend "adults" gatherings.

but……

Most of the NBA players are black. If they are not picking up girls and drinking at a party, they are bragging and gambling.

Liu Mang followed Rahim to a private club in Miami. He said he was not allowed to bring girls with him, but he was really not allowed to bring girls with him. Even the waiters were big men.

After asking carefully, it turned out that this place was originally a gay store, but it was reserved by Mourning...

As generous as Mo Ning, before suffering from kidney disease, he was the kind of person who would rather die under the peonies than a Liu Xiahui who would remain pregnant and live a long and lasting life.

But after I was really faced with a death threat, I just tried to cheat on sex, and I stopped drinking when I asked to stop drinking.

When I came to this club, I watched the wealthy capitalists start gambling. The big guys started bragging and detailing their pride. Especially Eddie Jones, who had no hostility on the court, started bragging that Kobe used to be

That's how I laid a hand on him.

This is different from the high-class gathering of NBA players that Liu Mang imagined!

This feels like an entertainment activity with no technical content, just like the wealthy locals who forcefully treat guests to dinner during the anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities and the ban on alcohol in the city!

In other words, black people usually have a good talent for rhythm. For example, Emmanuel can sing a few lines of black and afraid while drinking soda, and the people present are still enjoying it, twisting and cheering...

but……

Except having money...

Except that the place is a bit taller...

How is this different from the gatherings of college students and high school students in China who can't find girlfriends...

If you have any questions, ask the nanny. She is a nice person! She will not maliciously attack or ridicule, nor will she maliciously retaliate and ridicule.

When Muhammad heard Liu Mang's question, he said strangely: "Isn't that what parties are like? We rarely see each other a few times a year. Malik and I were roommates in college, and we haven't seen each other for a long time after entering the NBA...

"

Listening to Muhammad's answers as if in a murmur, Liu Mang's understanding of the NBA deepened slightly.

In fact, compared with ordinary NBA rookies, Liu Mang is no different from ordinary NBA rookies except that as a fan who has watched the NBA since childhood and has memories of some players, performances in some games, and some transactions, etc.

They are all still getting familiar with this new working environment. He is the same as other rookies, except that he performs well. As the third player of the team, he can even be better. He is valued by the team, has someone to take care of everything, and the ball

The team has a good atmosphere. For example, Raheem was indifferent to worldly affairs at first, Muhammad had a nanny's heart, and Jason Terry was venomous but he took good care of him once he got to know him well. The so-called grievances can be wiped out in one shot... No, that's right.

One becomes a brother...

Putting aside the team and the game, the NBA is a country. For Liu Mang to integrate into this circle, the time and adaptation required are not much different from those of ordinary rookies.

Liu Mang thought about what Muhammad said. He was actually right. He had made a few friends in the NBA. During the season, due to various busy schedules, he had very few contacts, even with Jordan, Tracy McGrady, and Gasso, who were close friends.

You and others don't talk to each other except when there are games. Gasol, for example, may not have any games and won't have time to contact him for most of the year.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang changed his mentality to face the gathering of NBA players.

Just treat it like a party for college classmates?

Teammates... let's just treat them as roommates. We are very familiar with each other and see them almost every day.

Opponent players...just think of them as classmates in the same class and department, the kind of people who are not familiar with each other but have some connections with them.

Opponents of the same class...are they like classmates? College classmates are different from high school, they are not in the same dormitory, and they may not even know each other even if they are in the same class.

It seemed like there wasn't even a single "classmate" present...

However, Liu Mang did not expect that Muhammad would be a "top student" at the University of Kentucky, a very famous basketball school in the future!

Alumni from my own university... let's forget about it...

Suddenly I miss my “classmates” so much!
