580. The food-abusing Eagles
Before we knew it, the Eagles were ranked first in the league!
Although the schedule is easy, this game is also too stable! It is so stable that the media and fans were surprised!
They averaged 106 points per game, and the Bulls greatly lowered the Hawks' points per game in this game. The Hawks now average a margin of 25 points per game and only concede 81 points per game!
Although he is a bad guy, his stability is even more stable than that of the Spurs, the master of bad food!
The Timberwolves had just lost to the Nuggets, ending their first six-game winning streak. Anthony scored 41 points and 11 rebounds, becoming the first player in the 2003 class to score 40 points, and the only player other than Liu Mang in the past four or five years to do so.
A player who gets 40 in his second rookie season.
The Pacers also lost to the Raptors. The Raptors ended their six-game losing streak and also ended the Pacers' six-game winning streak. However, they played very hard, and the Pacers were back-to-back, which gave the Raptors a chance to win 92-89.
, the overall strength of the Raptors is indeed not good. Except for Carter and Milicic, the other players have little fighting ability.
However, there are rumors that the Raptors are actively looking for trades and reinforcements.
This is a big change from the Raptors' approach in the summer when there was no movement at all in the free market. Their head coach Wilkens convinced the management to try to let Milicic have good teammates.
He must grow up, otherwise it will be difficult for him to pass the ball into an assist, which will not be beneficial to the development of his organizational skills.
The Eagles have won six games in a row, which is not a surprise. People seem to think that Rasheed Wallace did not have a negative impact on the Eagles.
Since the Eagles didn't get much attention at the beginning, not many people really watched the game. Except for the Magic, the following teams were all losing streaks when they met the Eagles. Except for the Magic at the beginning, and once
The Hornets, who are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, don't get much attention from other games.
Looking at the data, Rasheed Wallace only averaged 11.7 points and 6 rebounds per game because his offense mainly focused on mid-range and long-range shots. He occasionally fell into low-post singles but rarely. He averaged just 10 shots per game and his shooting percentage was still low.
It's very average, with an overall shooting percentage of 46% and a three-point shooting rate of 35%. Almost all the energy is focused on defense.
From this data, it seems that Rasheed Wallace has not had a negative impact on the Eagles at most.
The day after the Eagles beat the Bulls, the second game week was over. The new strength list came out. The Eagles ranked first in the strength list with their six-game winning streak!
Because they are bad guys, the strength list is not convincing, and people are not that surprised. There are too many surprising teams this year. The Pacers are second in the strength list with 6 wins and 1 loss, which completely exceeded people's expectations.
The Timberwolves are third in the strength list with 6 wins and 1 loss, the Spurs are fourth in the strength list with 5 wins and 1 loss, and the Pistons and Lakers are both 5 wins and 2 losses, ranking fifth and sixth in the strength list.
The subsequent player performance rankings shocked people. Liu Mang ranked first in this issue's MVP rankings!
People were surprised to check Liu Mang's performance and found that Liu Mang became the scoring leader of the Eagles! His average points per game climbed to fifth in the league!
Although it is far from McGrady's average of 31 points per game from the beginning to now, everyone in the league has scored far behind McGrady this year.
Kobe's side has been good and bad, starting with 40 points three times, but only averaging 26 points per game. Peja is stable, but he only averages 25.2 points per game, and this is already the top three in this year's scoring list!
McGrady, Kobe, and Peja are currently the top three in the scoring list.
Garnett ranks fourth in the scoring list with an average of 25 points per game, and Liu Mang ranks fifth in the scoring list with an average of 24.6 points per game!
When the scoring list came out in the first week, Liu Mang ranked 82nd, averaging 12 points per game. However, he had three consecutive games with 30 points and one game with 40 points. Liu Mang averaged only a dozen points in the first three games.
The average score has improved a lot.
After six games, Liu Mang scored a total of 148 points, averaging 24.6 points, 4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game!
It topped the team's scoring list for the first time in three years. It was also the first time since Dominique Wilkins that the Eagles had a player in the top five!
The situation this year is so weird. The scoring list is off a cliff. The performance of the stars of each team has become average. Tracy McGrady is far ahead of the scoring list, and no one can even come close. The predicted results of each team are also in line with the media season.
The previous predictions were very different. Originally, the Eastern Conference was expected to win the Eastern Conference championship in the early 50s. But so far, the Hawks, Pacers, and Pistons all seem to be aiming for 60 wins. Only the Nets
, I really believed what the media said, and I am striving for 50 wins. From the beginning to now, I have 4 wins and 3 losses.
In the West, it was originally regarded as a two-bear battle between the Timberwolves and the Lakers. However, the Spurs continued to interfere this year, and the Lakers, Spurs, and Timberwolves competed for hegemony.
…
Although the Eagles started too steadily, in terms of record, people are not surprised by the Eagles' record. Rasheed Wallace did not have a negative impact. People are not surprised that the Eagles can perform well. Of course, if
It's not surprising that the Hawks collapsed at the beginning. In the past two years, the Hawks dared to be first in the Eastern Conference, dare to win 60 games, and dare to be eighth in the Eastern Conference and enter the playoffs. As long as Rasheed Wallace does not bring negative consequences.
Impact, the Hawks were originally regarded as a strong contender for first place in the Eastern Conference.
Of course, even if the Eagles finish first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, it won't be a surprise. The strength that the Eagles started to develop in the middle of last year's season was originally the strongest strength in the Eastern Conference regular season.
However, people originally saw the Hawks' lineup this year and thought that even if Rasheed Wallace really integrated into it, it would be team basketball. After all, all the major teams this year have become a team, except for McGrady, Kobe, and Peja.
, Garnett, there is no other player who averages 25 points or more per game. There are only 12 players in the entire league who average 20 points per game. The OK combination also accounts for two, which means that only 11 teams in the entire league have games.
Average 20 players.
But unexpectedly, after the Eagles temporarily ranked first in the league, people noticed the Eagles' performance and suddenly discovered that the Eagles were actually playing superstar ball!
And it’s not Raheem or Rasheed Wallace, the two strongest players on the team, playing superstar ball!
Although Jason Terry also plays like a superstar, he is a substitute and should have played like that.
But unexpectedly, Liu Mang stood out and became the team's scoring leader.
This is most directly related to Rahim taking the initiative to give up the ball. So far this season, Rahim has not taken more than 12 shots in a game, usually eight or nine shots, but his shooting rate has reached a career high, and
He's a lot better, shooting 63% from the field, averaging 11 points and a career-high 14 rebounds per game, temporarily ranking first in the league, especially in terms of defensive rebounds.
, everyone inside is blocking him, his defensive rebounding is too strong this season!
Of course, as the season progresses, the shooting percentage and rebounds will definitely decline, but if you keep playing like this, it will be difficult to maintain an average of 14 rebounds per game. Other teammates are also very capable in rebounding, especially Kwame Brown.
After showing off his rebounding ability this time, his shooting percentage didn't drop much. He was all about catching the ball and shooting from mid-range, so his stability was guaranteed.
Raheem reduced the ball rights and played selflessly, and the others were naturally similar. Except for Liu Mang, who averaged 24.6 points per game, and Jason Terry, who averaged 18.7 points, no other Eagles player averaged more than 12 points per game.
But there are seven players who average more than 9 points per game.
At this time, Liu Mang seemed so... irritating in the Hawks. After shooting 39% in the game against the Bulls, Liu Mang's shooting percentage dropped to 100% due to too few base numbers.
Forty-three points were scored, and the three-point shooting percentage was 36%, both setting career lows.
But people don't care about this. What people care about is that Liu Mang ranks first in the MVP rankings!
In addition, there is another thing that shocks people. It is from the Eagles. Kwame Brown actually scored a double-20 with 22 points and 20 rebounds!
Mr. Joe, who was far away in Charlotte, was getting close to the tycoon owner of the first black TV station in the United States who was born and raised there. When he saw Kwame Brown getting double 20 next to his disciple, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood...
…
"Pfft..." Liu Mang looked at the latest MVP rankings and strength rankings in the newspaper, and squirted coffee all over the newspaper.
The Hawks flew to Boston early the next morning after beating the Bulls. Tomorrow, the 12th, will be the penultimate game of five consecutive away games and they will challenge the Celtics away from home.
Arriving at the hotel in Boston at 11 o'clock, Liu Mang prepared to drink a cup of coffee to refresh himself. He set off from the hotel at around 7 o'clock in the morning. The flight was at 8:30. There were many interviews last night. The players who fell asleep in the early morning were still playing.
Dozing off, Liu Mang prepared to refresh himself and go to train. He took the sports newspaper thoughtfully prepared by the hotel. Liu Mang saw that he had made the headlines and became the first in the new MVP rankings. His own team
He was also ranked first in the strength list.
