688. Next stop Detroit(1/2)

After Iverson directly announced his surrender, the Hawks replaced them all to save face, and let Jason Terry lead Barnes, Korver, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown to maintain a lead of more than 10 points.

The advantage is enough, both teams started freestyle attack and defense.

In the end, the Eagles easily won the game 111 to 99 with a 12-point lead. Their record improved to 47 wins and 8 losses. They still have a chance to win 50 games before the end of February. There are still three games left in the next five days.

Contest!

After playing 30 minutes, he made 13 of 23 shots and scored 34 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Liu Mang's performance today completely suppressed Iverson!

Moreover, it also achieved the task of not allowing Iverson to score 20 points!

Although in other people's eyes, Iverson didn't want to win the bet, Liu Mang's win was disgraceful, and he felt that the bet didn't count because there was still more than one quarter in the game. If Iverson insisted on winning, he might have to

It's impossible to score 30 points or even 25 or 6 points, but over 20 points is as easy as drinking water, and you won't choke. It's just that Iverson didn't want to get that point in garbage time.

But Liu Mang doesn't care about that. If he wins, he wins. When the task is completed, it's completed!

Liu Mang, who was taking a shower in the bathroom in the locker room, looked at the prompt on the system panel to get Iverson's star card from his peak year, and laughed like a pig...

The teammates, who had just finished taking a shower and just changed clothes to be interviewed, were about to leave the locker room when they heard Liu Mang's laughter. Even though this laughter was very common, they were still not used to it. It was too obscene!



After the duel with Iverson, Liu Mang originally thought that Iverson had been offended this time. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the hotel to watch the news, Liu Mang saw Iverson being interviewed on the news and his emotions were unexpected.

Not bad!

"Ace, that bastard, I will make him look good next season!"

"Am I angry at his provocation? Kang Mang Beibi, that guy is afraid of me passing the ball, can't you see?"

"There is no fair or unfair win. If he wins, he wins. If I lose, I lose. I only scored 19 points. This is a fact."

"Glenn Robinson? He is very good, but we are not suitable to be teammates. I don't want to say anything more about him catching the ball and not shooting. I hope the management can make good choices. It's time for us to start rebuilding to win.

I am very confident that my breakthrough skills are strong, but I need my teammates to cooperate with my movements, complete the moves I need, and allow me to organize the offense. Some teammates are obviously not able to do so."

"I will not force the team to do anything, but I will communicate with them. I am already 29 years old. We need a healthier and better future plan. Will I use the contract extension as a bargaining chip? Of course, this is definitely

Yes, I need them to feel the pressure. Let me tell you, I envy Ace's teammates, but our teammates are also great. We reached the finals back then, but we are getting older, so

We need to start over..."

Looking at the TV screen, Iverson, who was trying hard to restrain his unruly personality and want to communicate well with the media, still couldn't stop his "domineering side". Liu Mang touched his chin, and the stubble grew again, and took it from the box

Get out the razor and shave cleanly.

This guy is so arrogant even when he loses, that's quite impressive.

But Liu Mang still has some small expectations. Although if Iverson really succeeds in his transformation at the critical point of his career at the age of 29 and has good teammates, he will be a very troublesome opponent for Liu Mang. However,

He really wanted to play against a different Iverson.

In the 01-02 season, Iverson was at the peak of his personal offense. Liu Mang played against that Iverson and understood Iverson's strength at that time. Now the 29-year-old Iverson has returned from major surgery. Even now

If you continue to use the previous style of play, even if the rules are more favorable to the outside in the future, it is unlikely that Iverson can play the invincible personal offense that he did at the age of 26 three years ago, and it is difficult for Iverson to be powerful like that.

opponent.

Just like James was reluctant to let Kobe Bryant retire in the 2016 All-Star Game, Liu Mang was also reluctant to lose such a strong opponent as Iverson and kept maintaining his previous style of play. Iverson might not have any good prospects except to switch to another team.

If his teammates defect to him, then the game against Iverson will become more and more boring. Now that Iverson has changed, Liu Mang is actually looking forward to it.

Turning off the TV, Liu Mang took a good look at the rewards he received today.

Iverson's peak star card, this... is it good to use against the OK combination? I guess it will be easy to use! It will definitely be more useful than Iverson in the 01-02 season!

The rogue value increased by hundreds of thousands, and then the rogue value increased by hundreds of thousands. The first one was because Liu Mang provoked Iverson before the game, which offended many Iverson fans. Later, the fans found out that things were obviously not what they imagined.

The difference is that this seems to be the normal way of communication between Iverson and Liu Mang. Many fans who were originally just Iverson fans but did not like Liu Mang, instead paid more attention to Liu Mang because of this incident.

There is still more than 1,900 superstar points. Defeating the 76ers is really nothing special. Even if they have Iverson, the task is only related to Iverson alone, and the others basically cannot provide obstacles.





After beating the 76ers, the Hawks had two more games in six consecutive away games. On July 25, they arrived in Milwaukee after a long journey. After a night's rest, they played against the Bucks for the third time this season.

In the last four days of this month, from the 26th to the 29th, the Hawks will play three games in four days. The Bucks are the weakest opponent in this game. Next, there will be back-to-back games against the Pistons and Heat.

This is the problem.

The Bucks exceeded people's expectations this year, and also exceeded Liu Mang's expectations.

Liu Mang didn't know much about the Bucks in the past few years. From the time Ray Allen and Payton swapped teams to when Payton went to Los Angeles, even with Reed, there weren't many Chinese players in the Bucks after that.

Fans paid attention, and it was not until the Bucks selected Yi Jianlian that he came into the attention of Chinese fans again.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before the All-Star Weekend, the Bucks had been swinging in the seventh or eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Public opinion generally believed that after the All-Star Weekend, each team would compete for the playoffs.

After the team began to go all out to sprint for the playoffs, the Bucks would fall off. Who knew that after the All-Star weekend, the Bucks would win a wave of five consecutive victories! There was also a game of four games in five days.

, the Bucks won all of them, and now the Bucks' record has improved to 26 wins and 30 losses, beating the Hornets and Knicks, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference!

The originally highly favored Celtics have dropped to ninth place in the Eastern Conference! Their record has been overtaken by the Cavaliers, both with 22 wins!

To everyone's expectation this year, the Bucks did not collapse due to the loss of core guard Payton, but instead stood up tenaciously!

The Eagles don't dare to be careless in this game. They don't dare to lose a game here. Who told someone to boast that Haikou will win at least 68 games!

Moreover, the Hawks players and coaching staff have gradually become very motivated to achieve this achievement. According to the current turbulent league situation, especially a team called the Bobcats from Charlotte is about to come out.

They are robbing people. The Eagles, who have a bunch of high-quality young players, will definitely be their target. That is to say, after the end of the season and before the end of the draft, the Eagles will definitely make big moves to avoid direct losses. This is also a big deal.

The choice of some strong teams, and the Eagles are no exception.

It will be difficult for this group of people to get together in the future. Now that there is an opportunity to create a career together, everyone is focused on winning every game.

Even though physical fitness is such a big problem now!

If it were another team other than the Hawks and Rockets, there wouldn't be so many physical problems during this period. In the second half of the season, there would be less than 30 games left. It should be a strong team in the playoffs.

When they are exerting their strength, the Eagles still have to struggle with a brutal schedule similar to other teams in the middle of the season.

Who makes the Hawks and Rockets the key entry points for the league to open up the Chinese market?

So in order to slow down the physical fitness of the players, Coach Kruger rested Rasheed Wallace and Raheem. Ratliff came back to play against the Bucks to get a feel for the next game against the Pistons.

.

Originally there was Ostertag, but after he reported to Atlanta and underwent a physical examination, the Hawks directly asked him to go to Detroit to prepare first. The next game is the real most difficult game. This game for the Hawks

The team can still rely on the depth of the lineup to continue playing.

In this game, the Eagles fielded a lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Barnes, Boozer, and Ratliff.

The Bucks sent out a lineup of TJ Ford, Reid, Van Horn, Desmond Mason, and Joe Smith.

Compared to the last game where three players were substituted, the Eagles had no physical problems here and were very active on the court.

Local fans in Milwaukee felt chilled when they saw that the Eagles had changed their lineup and still looked so scary.

Just like what the fans thought, seeing Liu Mang and Boozer, another core combination of Ratliff, made me feel just as cold.

Meeting Reid and TJ Ford again, Liu Mang was very excited at the beginning and continuously broke through the paint. The Bucks also worked hard in this game. The Bucks encountered the Eagles who were forced to take a rest as their physical fitness declined in consecutive away games.

, played quite actively, but couldn't stand up to TJ Ford, Reed, and Van Horn. Among the three outsiders, Reed turned out to be the best defender!

Reed can move laterally and tackle fiercely, but the opponent is Liu Mang!

Only halfway into the first quarter, Reed was beaten twice by Liu Mang and left the field.

Reed originally thought about giving Liu Mang a good fight, but he didn't expect that he was too aggressive and got himself involved.

As for the Eagles, Liu Mang saw that the two defensive fronts were unable to play, so he took on more tasks. He worked hard to cause damage on the offensive end and tried hard to prevent TJ Ford on the defensive end. His teammates cut off TJ Ford and others.

After the contact, Reid was fucked by Liu Mang again, the Bucks' struggle ended before it even started.

They are indeed sixth in the Eastern Conference and are getting more and more stable, but their winning rate is still less than 50%, which is completely different from the Western Conference playoff teams. Except for the Nuggets, the other top eight teams in the Western Conference have a winning rate of 60%.

above.

Liu Mang played 7 minutes in the first quarter and scored 11 points and 2 assists on 2 of 6 free throws. He made 7 free throws and made 6 of 7 free throws. He also stole TJ Ford twice. Liu Mang's speed cannot be compared to TJ Ford.

No one can match him, but his skills are not only good at ball control, but also his strongest speed. When he gets to the NBA, he has to start to learn how to use his physical advantages, but at least he is still good at it.

As a rookie, he couldn't take advantage of it well.

After Stockton came up, he played more pick-and-roll offenses with Boozer, plus Kwame Brown, who was becoming more and more experienced in air cuts, and corner musketeer Jason Terry, Liu Mang and Stockton successively

Led the team and easily scored 26-17 in the first quarter, leading the Bucks by 9 points after the first quarter!

Originally, Reed was supposed to be the vanguard in attacking the Hawks in this game, but he was too aggressive in guarding against Liu Mang in the first quarter and was tricked by Liu Mang into two shooting fouls. After restarting in the second quarter, he was intimidated.

Afraid of his feet, he didn't dare to make too big moves to squeeze away or defend the opponent in the pick-and-roll of Stockton and Boozer. Stockton seized the opportunity and led the Eagles to an 11-6 run in the second quarter.

, just over 4 minutes into the second quarter, the Eagles were already leading by 15 points!

Although consecutive away games will have a great impact on physical fitness, they will also allow the players' condition to continue as long as they are physically fit. The Eagles rest players who are obviously tired and use players with relatively better physical conditions as the main force.

, and the Eagles' lineup is deep enough to form two strong teams. When facing the not-so-strong Bucks, they are already strong enough!

Stockton came off the field with 4 points and 3 assists. Although it seemed that he only had 3 assists, during the period when he and Boozer led the second team, the Hawks opened up a 10-point lead.
