It’s time to fight the king again!

After losing to the Lakers, the Hawks' record became 26 wins and 24 losses.

Liu Mang watched the Eagles lose 9 consecutive games against the Kings. Except for the 1998-99 season, the Eagles did not have a game with the Kings. Since the 1997-98 season, the Eagles have not defeated the Kings once, and have been four consecutive games.

They were swept by the Kings this season.

This is so miserable!

Liu Mang really didn't notice that his team had won 9 consecutive games by the Kings. If he hadn't just seen the TV picture in the locker room, the game preview he saw was whether the Eagles could end their 9-game losing streak against the Kings.

The title is still the Kings' 10-game winning streak against the Hawks. He still doesn't know how miserable his team was against the Western Conference's powerful players before he came.

The staff of the Kings are also ruthless. The TV in the locker room only plays one picture repeatedly, which is the pre-game preview between the Eagles and Kings, just to lower the morale of the Eagles.

Not to mention, Liu Mang was really pissed off that the retarded management of the Kings actually used this to stimulate them.

When stretching before the game, Liu Mang couldn't help it anymore: "Sharif, Jason, you are so useless!"

Jason Terry and Raheem, who were stretching, looked stagnant. Not to mention, when they became members of a strong team, they cared about this aspect very much. After Liu Mang said this, they could only endure it.

After all, they had a really miserable life, and they couldn't compare to Liu Mang who stirred up troubles when he entered the alliance.

Liu Mang, this guy, couldn't get any sunshine. Seeing that the two big brothers had nothing to say, he really started chattering: "Really, if I had known that I would come and fly with you right after I finished high school, I really didn't

Use it, you can only leave it to me to end their winning streak... eh eh eh... I was just joking, don't... Ya Zhi..."

The much-loved abuse of food happened again, and the rest of the Eagles team suddenly felt better. Seeing a certain sophomore being abused, it really made them feel good.

Just kidding, I just found out today that my team hasn’t beaten the Kings in five or six years. Although the Kings’ losing streak in the early years has nothing to do with their three brothers and the current players of the Hawks, but if they lose again today

, even facing the Kings' 10-game losing streak, the Eagles players cannot accept it!

…

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Eagles' away game against the Kings is about to begin.

Liu Mang chose to come on as a substitute today, and Jason Terry was very resentful.

But Liu Mang couldn't help it. He knew that Jason Terry might be more suitable as a substitute than him. His organizational skills had gradually surpassed those of Raheem and Jason Terry. He could control the lineup.

Better connected in series.

However, today's level 5 mission is - I am the king of substitutes.

"I am the king of substitutes: level 5 daily tasks, coming off the bench to score 30 points and lead the team to victory."

Because in the last game against the Lakers, Liu Mang came on and scored 18 points and 10 assists in three quarters, and Jason Terry came off the bench and scored 27 points and 4 assists in three quarters. Both of them performed very efficiently in their new positions.

Although they failed to win, many experts, media, fans, etc. can judge that the Eagles still have a chance to win if they fight the Lakers to the end. The main reason is that the Eagles have played 5 games in the past 7 days, especially starting from the Lakers.

With 4 games in 5 days, it is necessary to give up some games that will be very exciting and win games that can be easily won. Moreover, there are still 17 games in March, and the schedule is too difficult.

Regarding the performance of Liu Mang and Jason Terry after they swapped positions on the team, many people think that Liu Mang is more suitable to play. Although Liu Mang plays a rough style, he does a very good job organizing offense when playing. There are few players this season.

On some occasions, the assists exceeded 7.

This has a very obvious impact on Liu Mang's Best Sixth Man Award. Having won such a big award once, it will be difficult to win it again the second year. Even if most of the voting experts and media people vote fairly,

, but if there is an impression that this player is more suitable for playing, it will inevitably be ignored in the voting.

So whether it was a task or to win a prize, Liu Mang felt that he still had to be a substitute.

The Eagles came to Arco Arena to challenge the Kings. The fans at the scene rarely booed the visiting fans when they saw the Eagles players. The main reason was that they had suppressed the Eagles too hard before, sweeping them year after year. They did not let the Eagles down at all.

Keep the team in mind.

This makes the Eagles players even more angry!

Players are masochists. When someone boos them, they get angry. If someone doesn't boo them, they get even more angry and feel ignored.

Therefore, the Eagles were even more arrogant when they took the field to start the game. After Rahim finished spreading the powder, he came to the other side of the court to yell at the fans and clap their hands. The powder in his hands blew the faces of the Kings fans.

Ratliff was still beating his chest while he was yelling and screaming, as if he was seeing Tarzan.

Jason Terry found a ball, went to the opponent's basket, threw the ball, then jumped up, grabbed the basket and pulled up, just in time to push the ball out of the basket.

When Prince danced in the square, he added Michael Jackson's dance moves, covering his crotch with his hands, and David Stern's fine was ready, which made his eyes irritate.

While David was thinking, Muhammad also mustered up all his strength to show off his muscles...

Liu Mang looked at these increasingly mentally retarded teammates and wondered who they learned from. It was so embarrassing!

Under the urging of the referee, the two teams came on stage!

For the Eagles, Jason Terry and Muhammad are back, and the other three are Prince, Raheem, and Ratliff.

The Kings lineup is still so strong, with Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Webber, and Divac.

Although Weber's performance has declined slightly this year, with his data hitting a new low in the five years since he joined the Kings, Peja has performed extremely well this year. With the Lakers obviously experiencing a major decline, last year's Kings team, which unfortunately lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals,

It has become the biggest favorite for the championship, and is more optimistic than the Spurs, who have the best record in the league. After all, the Spurs now really seem to be Duncan's team.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Liu Mang on the sidelines looked at the ability values ​​​​of the Kings players. He did not need the memory of the Kings to see that the Kings are no longer the same this year.

A championship contender.

Chris Webber, ability value 88, Mike Bibby, ability value 82, Peja, ability value 86, Divac, ability value 80, Christie, ability value 81.

Indeed, the team composed of five at least first-class stars is very strong, but none of the top stars are gone. The main reason is that Webber's ability has begun to plummet due to the knee injuries accumulated over the years. He has just turned 30 years old.

This is a very common situation for players with poor physical fitness. Before the age of 30, they could compete for the No. 1 player in the same position, but suddenly collapsed by the age of 30. Physical fitness and physical fitness will decline significantly at this age. If you are injured,

The collapse is faster. It is difficult to recover from injuries at this age. Those who can overcome this obstacle are undoubtedly superstars, and Webber is obviously not one.

Liu Mang feels that a team like the Kings, composed of five quasi-first-class and first-class stars, can indeed perform very well in Adelman's Princeton system, but no matter how good it is, it cannot be better than the Pistons' five Tigers. The Pistons' Five Tigers can only

It can be described as a miracle that Billups won the championship when he was a first-rate star. And they were able to reach the finals for two consecutive years, mostly because the Eastern Conference was really weak at the time. When the combination of O'Neal and Wade

After a year of running-in and successful running-in, they were immediately defeated.

It was a pity that Webber, who was still at his peak last year, could not lead the team to cross the Lakers and touch the championship trophy. Liu Mang focused on the game. Ratliff defeated Divac in the jump ball and the Hawks attacked first.

Jason Terry pushed forward, suppressing his urge to just do it with the ball as he did in the previous game, waiting for Raheem to get down low, and then lobbed the ball to Raheem.

Rahim's low-post singles are becoming more and more mature, and his judgment ability is very strong. Peja knows that he will never be able to guard Rahim when he receives the ball, so when the ball flies over, he wants to go around to prevent Rahim from catching the ball.

At that moment, Rahim judged the opponent's defense, jumped up, caught the ball in the air, and threw it towards the basket.

In a rather coquettish move, the ball landed on the basket, spun around and fell into the basket.

He turned the low-post single into an alley-oop and gave an assist to Jason Terry. The Eagles players on the sidelines and the few Chinese fans at the scene cheered.

As the capital of California, Sacramento has a small number of Chinese Americans, but it is still quite large. After all, California is the state with the largest number of Chinese Americans in the United States.

Raheem started the game steadily and gave the Eagles the lead.

In transition between offense and defense, the Kings attack.

Bibby advanced to the frontcourt. The Kings' positions were very scattered, and the Eagles' defense could only be very scattered, because the Kings were strong in every position and had shooting capabilities, including Webb and Divac, who both made three-pointers.

points, although the hit rate is only exactly 25%.

When Bibby reached outside the three-point line, Webber pulled to the bottom corner to give Peja a ball-free pick-and-roll, and then went down to the left side of the three-second zone to ask for the ball from Rahim. After Peja accepted the ball-free pick-and-roll, he came up to Bibby.

During the pick-and-roll, Bibby cut in and passed the ball to Weber who was stuck with Raheem. Bibby rushed straight to the basket.

At this time, Ratliff had to be ready to cover Webb at all times. While covering Divac and preparing to cover Webber, he was already stretched. Muhammad and Jason Terry both rushed towards the basket, and Webber did

When he turned around and focused all the attention of the Eagles defense on the inside, Weber picked up the ball and swung it towards the top arc with his palm. Peja caught the ball and shot a three-pointer!

Hit!

Peja's three-point shooting accuracy in the regular season this year is outrageous, with a 43% three-point shooting percentage, which is higher than Ray Allen.

Liu Mang saw how easy it was for the Kings to score, just like the match half a month ago. He really felt that the Kings were too powerful.

This kind of team with average strength does not seem to have any outstanding points this year, but the more it is like this, the harder it is to defend it when the system is good enough.

When the opponent's strength has no obvious ability to suppress such an average team, it is too difficult to beat them! Perhaps in the high-confrontation games of the playoffs, the Kings, who have now completely become a shooting team, cannot go too far.

But in the regular season, they are really strong!

The Eagles, who took the lead at the start, were not able to take the lead. Although the Eagles have Raheem, a player with outstanding personal ability on the court, and Jason Terry, who is also a first-class star goalkeeper with an ability value of 85, they cannot withstand all five of the Kings' abilities.

They are all above 80, and can only barely compete with the Kings.

The Kings played steadily today, using the Princeton system to bring out the offensive threats, passing abilities, and shooting abilities of the five players.

After five minutes of play, the Eagles were already 4 points behind 12-16. Seeing that they were close to a 5-point deficit in less than half a quarter, Coach Kruger called a timeout.

Liu Mang knew he was going to play, so he took off his training clothes and waited for the coach to lay out defensive tactics.

From Liu Mang's smooth tactical movement and ball delivery when the Kings scored the first goal, he understood why the Kings were still favored by the media as the strongest team in the league during this year's regular season, because it seemed so incomprehensible.

Moreover, the Kings played better in the regular season this year than last season!

With Weber and Bibby often absent, the Kings' record is better than last season and their offensive efficiency is higher. The main reason is that the strength of the Kings' players has become more "average". With more average strength, the NCAA

The power of Princeton's civilian tactics was fully unleashed.

The Princeton system is a very commonly used system in college basketball, especially those college teams that do not have talented stars. They like to introduce the Princeton system and use a group of mediocre players to produce offensive performance that exceeds their strength.

Of course, this so-called mediocrity, in the NBA, the Kings are the best and most "mediocre". Players in every position are among the best, but they are not the best, so everyone is not greedy for credit, and even has some points in scoring this year.
