After defeating the Cavaliers, the Hawks took a day off in Atlanta. On November 27, the Hawks went to Toronto and challenged the Raptors away from home on the 28th.

The Raptors are currently in a troubled time. They just made a trade that no one could understand a while ago. Raptors head coach Wilkens was also confused. He wanted to strengthen. This is not how reinforcements are done. Carter was originally there.

, it is difficult to distribute the ball even if you want to train Milicic. Now here comes Jaylen Rose, who averages 20.5 per game. He is also a player who is more sticky and does not know how to play without the ball. Now the Raptors are in chaos.

middle.

Carter could tolerate Milicic before, but now he is paired with Jaylen Brown on the forward and defensive line, and he can no longer bear it. After a few games, the two began to fight for the ball.

However, this gave Milicic, who was forced to bear too much pressure from the beginning, a correct opportunity to develop. He moved to the center position and began to develop from a role player center, grabbing rebounds and passing the ball. There were not so many opportunities for him to play in isolation.

, but I feel more comfortable playing.

Although Milicic is talented now, he is not yet capable of holding the ball and driving the team hard like Duncan. Now that Carter and Jaylen Rose are competing for the ball, he has grown better.

It's just that the Raptors are even worse than they were at the start. The Hawks, who came to Toronto with the momentum of three consecutive victories, easily defeated the Raptors 101-89 and won their fourth consecutive game with Liu Mang's performance of 22 points and 7 assists in the third quarter.

On the Raptors' side, Carter and Jaylen Rose both scored over 20 points and combined for 45 points, but it was of no use. The two shot a total of 49 times, which was appallingly inefficient.

…

After defeating the Raptors, the Hawks came to Washington, D.C., the imperial capital of the United States, to play the Wizards in their second consecutive away game.

After the Wizards acquired Arenas, they were generally developing in a good direction. They had a clear and talented ball-handling core, but the first three years were basically wasted, and the No. 1 pick in the 2000-2001 season was a bad one.

I chose a parallel import and then sent it to the Hawks. After going to the Hawks, it was actually not that good. However, most people think that it was because of the overall strength of the Hawks, which was one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference regular season, that Kwame Brown was

It doesn't look like he's that good. Now Kwame Brown still relies on his body to attack and defend.

Jordan was in control of the Wizards after 2001. Jordan's managerial skills destroyed the Wizards' strength. Trading Hamilton for Stackhouse was considered blind, but it attracted people who came to follow Jordan.

Larry Hughes, a defensive warrior, was the only treasure left by Jordan to the Wizards.

The backcourt combination of Arenas and Larry Hughes gives Wizards fans hope.

Just hope, just hope. The Wizards are currently 3 wins and 12 losses, second to last in the league. Their record is only slightly better than the Magic, which has lost 16 consecutive games, and worse than the Bulls, Clippers, and Suns.

.

The Eagles came to Washington's MCI Telephone Box Arena on the 30th for the second game of two consecutive away games. Arenas was desperate when he saw Liu Mang. He wanted to cry when he saw the Eagles' lineup but couldn't.

Prince and Liu Mang took turns defending, making Arenas feel desperate again after ten days. He made 10 of 30 shots and scored 23 points. Most of the points were scored by the Hawks who had replaced Willie Green.

In the garbage time of the backcourt combination with Jason Terry, Arenas scored 7 points on 3 of 20 shots in the first three quarters...

Liu Mang scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, helping the team gain a 20-point lead at 92-70 in the third quarter. In the end, the Hawks easily defeated the Wizards 117-106 and won their 5th consecutive victory!

…

At the end of the November schedule, the Eagles achieved a record of 13 wins and 3 losses, further setting the best start in team history!

After playing 16 games, which is almost a month of schedule, the Eagles have almost finished adjusting. This time, the Eagles made no mistakes in their recruitment, and everything is moving in the right direction.

Defeating James was an interesting episode for Liu Mang and the Hawks players, but for the Hawks, it was just an ordinary game in an easy start to the schedule.

The Eagles players have gradually determined their roles. Generally speaking, the Eagles players are following the general trend of the league. The general trend of the league this year is - sacrifice.

The OK team's scoring has dropped sharply. Kobe's scoring average has dropped to 23 points per game, and O'Neal only has 21 points. You must know that Kobe has been in the top five in the scoring list in the past three years, averaging 27 points per game in the past three years. Last season, he was even more in the scoring list.

The second-leading player averaged 30 points per game, and O'Neal was the scoring champion in 2000.

Duncan took a lot of shots due to the progress of Parker and Ginobili, and his scoring average dropped to a new low since the 21st century, averaging 22 points per game. After Walker left, Pierce not only did not increase the ball, but instead gave more

The ball was given to role players, and the average score dropped to 23 points per game. The Celtics' role players were still good, so the Celtics were still ranked among the top eight in the Eastern Conference. The Mavericks were crazy about adding scorers.

Wisky averaged only 21 points per game. This year, the number of stars in the league averaging over 20 points per game has reached a new low in more than 20 years.

Already famous stars, especially the famous stars of playoff-level teams, have all lowered their shots this season, either because of reinforcements, such as the Timberwolves, Lakers, and Mavericks; or for the growth of young players.

, such as the Raptors, Spurs, etc.

In the past five years, the Lakers and Spurs have won five consecutive championships. Even in the past 13 years, there have only been four championship teams. The Bulls, Lakers, Rockets, Spurs, and the league's superstars have all reached an indescribable desire for a championship.

Obviously, the teams with the most championship prospects are still the Lakers and Spurs. This has forced other superstars to start to make changes and try to play as a team. The Spurs have Duncan and the Lakers have OK. These three are in their respective positions.

Its strength makes it impossible for other championship-level teams to compete, so they can only try to focus on the team.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Most of the Eagles stars have followed the general trend of the league. After playing for almost a month, the scoring trend of the league's stars has almost been determined. The Eagles

The team has only two players averaging more than 15 points per game.

Jason Terry, who ranks second in the Hawks' scoring list, averages 16.7 points per game, ranking first among substitute players in the league, and is regarded as one of the favorites to win the best sixth man award.

Raheem, who ranks third to fifth in points per game for the Hawks, averages 12.7 points per game, Rasheed Wallace averages 12.3 points per game, and Boozer averages 11 points per game.

Apart from this, no one else on the Hawks averages double figures per game. Everyone on the Hawks is figuring out their role this year.

Raheem mainly defends cuts, and Rasheed Wallace mainly defends shots. The two will occasionally play in singles when necessary, but mainly focus on their own determined roles.

Jason Terry, the sixth man, plays the role of grabbing points. However, since the Hawks did not face many strong opponents at the beginning, they took the bench to shoot with him. He was quite happy, averaging 16.7 points and 4.4 assists per game.

The scoring dropped to a new low since his rookie season.

Ratliff, Kwame Brown, and Muhammad defended when they came up. Boozer and Stockton were responsible for organizing the second team's scoring, mainly for Jason Terry's shooting and Kwame Brown's counter run.

Waiting for manufacturing opportunities.

The entire Eagles team is sacrificing, but there is only one person who is like a cancer, shooting wildly, taking every opportunity, and often relying entirely on his teammates for defense.

This person is Liu Mang, who averaged 26.7 points, 4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

The current trend for strong teams in the league is to distribute the ball to more people, while the trend for weak teams is to concentrate the ball. For example, the Magic, McGrady averages 30.3 points per game, ranking first in the league, and the Bucks' Reid averages 22 points per game.

, a career high, Randolph of the Trail Blazers, and Maggette of the Clippers both scored over 20 for the first time in their careers.

The Eagles are such a unique team, with both the sacrifice of a strong team and the concentration of ball rights on a weak team to cultivate young stars. This team combines selflessness and independence, which makes people watch.

It feels weird when I look at the statistics of this team.

After his teammates determined their own style of play and gradually got used to their positioning, Liu Mang settled on more than 20 shots per game. Now he averages 22.7 shots per game and 10.1 hits, which is just 40%.

The hit rate of four... is a bit outrageous. I don’t know when the steel plant moved from Los Angeles to Atlanta. As for the largest steel plant in Philadelphia, it is still in a state of shutdown.

Liu Mang is really strong this year. On the one hand, his role has become more important, and the number of shots has increased significantly due to the needs of the team.

The second is this year’s defense. This year’s defense in the league has reached its peak, perhaps after Pat Riley’s iron-blooded style spread throughout the league in the 1990s. Only three teams in the league averaged more than 100 points per game this year.

The Mavericks averaged 107 points per game, the Hawks averaged 105 points per game, and the Kings averaged 101 points per game. The number of teams scoring over 100 points set a new low since the merger of the NBA and ABA, and a total of seven teams did not score more than 100 points per game.

90, a new high since 1981.

If it were the first week, or even two weeks, this situation would be fine and might get better, but it has been more than a month since the game, and the offense and defense of each team can almost be seen throughout the season.

It is a trend, and it is unlikely that there will be a big change. Moreover, in December and January, the two months when fatigue begins, the score only has a downward trend, and it is difficult to have an upward trend.

This caused a headache for league officials and paved the way for the rules that encourage offense starting next season.

The season has been played for so long. All teams in the league know that Liu Mang is the leading scorer of the Hawks. They must take a lot of shots to defend against Liu Mang. The defense Liu Mang encounters is also more fierce than before, and his shooting percentage

The decline is perfectly normal.

Regarding the decline in shooting percentage, Liu Mang was not used to it at first and felt very uncomfortable. However, he found that people were only surprised by his skyrocketing scoring and shot numbers, which made him a candidate for the Most Improved Award, rather than by his shooting percentage.

After the first month of playing, Liu Mang saw the statistics of the November game month in the scout report, and saw the top ten scorers in the league, including O'Neal and Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki.

A strong inside player, his 44% field goal percentage actually ranks fifth among the top ten scoring players in the league. Only the four major inside players have a higher shooting percentage than him!

Even among the only 15 scorers in the league who averaged 20 points per game, Liu Mang found that his shooting percentage ranked sixth. Apart from the four major insiders, only Maggette had a shooting percentage that was 0.7% higher than his own. Like

Strikers like Randolph and Anthony all have lower shooting percentages than themselves. Players such as Kobe, Reed, Tracy McGrady, Carter, etc. all have shooting percentages of over 40%. McGrady’s shooting percentage this year is as low as 41%.

The Magic have no one who can play well this year except McGrady, who is probably at the same level as Kobe's teammates in his 81-point season.

Liu Mang didn't expect that he would actually play like this. His efficiency was still the highest among the guards who ranked among the previous scorers! But Liu Mang thought about it and realized that the scorers at the beginning of this century didn't have a high shooting percentage.

He likes to take shots, and the more his teammates are afraid to take shots, the more they have to take shots, so most of them are very tough, which is very similar to the reason why he takes a lot of shots this year, because they need to take shots.

Without comparison, there is no sense of superiority. Liu Mang suddenly felt that he was not so strong anymore, mainly relying on his peers to set him off...

…

On December 1st, after returning to Atlanta from Washington, the Hawks did not have much rest time. They will take a rest today. There will be a back-to-back home game on the 2nd and 3rd tomorrow, so the Hawks will have a rest today and let the players prepare for the next step.

Get ready for two days of competition.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After returning to Atlanta, Liu Mang happened to catch lunch at home.

Liu Mang was eating lunch while looking at the upcoming schedule in the scout report. The Eagles' schedule in December was very regular and regular. There was not even a staggered home and away game. It was similar to last month, with away games and games.

The home games are all consecutive. Although the league did not arrange a surprisingly easy opening schedule for the Hawks like last season, it was relatively well taken care of. In the first two months, the Hawks played consecutive home and away games.

There will be no more than 5 away games at most, giving the Eagles enough time to adjust and play better at the start.

This year, the Eagles did not waste an easy start like last season. They got off to a better start than Liu Mang's rookie season. They are expected to hit 60 wins again this year!

Liu Mang was reading the next back-to-back scouting reports. A little loli slipped into Liu Mang's arms from under Liu Mang's arms and sat on Liu Mang's lap habitually. He looked at the scouting reports and asked:

"Uncle, who are you going to hit next?"

"Here, we will play the Grizzlies tomorrow." Liu Mang turned to the scouting report of the Grizzlies that he had just read.

"Wow! Grizzlies! Gasol! Uncle, Gasol is so handsome! Uncle, I'm going to watch the game tomorrow!" Dinah looked at Gasol's shaved ID photo and makeup photo in the scouting report, and said,

Make an exclamation.

Seeing that Gasol was indeed quite handsome, especially when he was young, he was handsome and had not so many wrinkles on his face. He only had wrinkles on his forehead, which made him look even more attractive.

Loli's face: "Huh, nympho!"

"Oh, uncle is the most handsome," Dinah comforted Liu Mang, and then continued her infatuation: "But Gasol is also so handsome! He's only a little bit worse than uncle!"

"Huh!" Liu Mang looked at his sister-in-law, who had a good relationship with him in the photo, and Liu Mang became more and more unhappy!

"This damn bitch, why are you so handsome? It's really annoying to be so handsome with such a big mouth. By the way, find Rashid to make this guy look good!" Liu Mang cursed silently in his heart...
