716. The tragic genius

"When did Atlanta become so congested?" Liu Mang complained.

This morning, I held a meeting after conducting tactical training with my teammates who had had a night's rest after returning from Milwaukee. I ate a nutritious meal at noon and went home for a nap. At three o'clock in the afternoon, I took Levia to pick up after school.

Dinah and Alexia.

Dinah and Alexia got off school at four o'clock in the afternoon. Every time they went to pick them up, they would wait for more than ten minutes. Then when they were picked up and brought to the gym, it was around 4:30, just in time for the game.

Warm up before.

But this time, the originally one-and-a-half-hour journey actually took more than two hours, and it was already half past six when we arrived at the arena! Fortunately, today's game didn't start until eight-thirty in the evening, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.

It's not that Atlanta doesn't have traffic jams, it's just that it's usually the peak hour between 6 and 7 o'clock after major companies get off work, but today the traffic jams started at 3 or 4 o'clock.

Little Loli said excitedly: "Uncle, don't you know how expensive the tickets for our team are today? Dinah's classmates are complaining that buying a ticket cost him all his monthly pocket money. Today we are going to

History has been made, all the fans want to watch the game, and many students want to buy tickets but can't."

"Really, isn't it just a small honor? Do you need to be so happy?" Liu Mang said with disdain.

Seeing Liu Mang's arrogant look, Little Lolita and Levia rolled their eyes at the same time as a mother and daughter. Alexia covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, Ace, go and join your teammates."

.”

Liu Mang parked the car: "I'm going to train first. Don't run around. Go to the lounge and wait for the game to start. There are too many people today, so be careful."



Liu Mang came to the training ground. His teammates had already arrived. It was not only the fans who were excited. Since the last game, which tied the Lakers' 67 wins, the Eagles players were all in high spirits. They trained in the morning.

Very motivated at the time.

This feeling is the same as the feeling that most of the players on this team had when they played in the playoffs for the first time two years ago.

Liu Mang quickly threw himself into the warm-up. After changing into a loose jersey and training clothes, he was receiving stretching and massage from a physical therapist when an oval-shaped head came next to Liu Mang.

"Ace, look at how I look handsome today. Can it make headlines?" Jason Terry asked, wearing a sexy pink headband and posing in front of Liu Mang in a very flirtatious manner.

Seeing Jason Terry wearing the red and white jersey of the home team, Liu Mang was silent for two seconds and then replied: "...Jason, I think if you change your socks to pink, buy two colored tapes and tie them on

It will look better if you tie bows on your arms and calves... By the way, where did you get this hair tie?"

"Really? This hair tie? I got it from Kevin. I immediately went to buy two ribbons. By the way, Kevin should have them. He has a lot of these things." Jason Terry finished.

Ran away immediately.

"..."

Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry's leaving figure speechlessly. His teammates were particularly excited today.

After the massage and stretching, Liu Mang came to the training ground. In addition to his teammates who were practicing shooting and chatting, there were also team staff who were also busy coming and going.

Grabbing a staff member who had just finished moving things, Liu Mang asked, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, Ace, we are preparing a celebration ceremony for you and the team after the game! Look at these balloons, they will be lowered from the sky after we win the game, as well as those jerseys and basketballs, they are all prepared for

A gift from the fans..." The staff was also very excited and chattered to introduce it to Liu Mang.

What's the difference between being proud and proud!

The current performance of the Eagles is not a matter of one person alone. Liu Mang may be the key core, but the dignity of coach Kruger, the interpersonal relationship of owner Price, the relationship between Raheem and Rasheed Wallace.

Sacrifice, Stockton's leadership, Prince and Ratliff's defense...as well as the efforts of team staff, trainers, etc., have led to this small achievement today.

When all the hard work finally comes to fruition, everyone is excited.

However, when he saw the backs of the staff who were immediately engaged in preparing for the celebration after winning the game, Liu Mang was not thinking of a sense of honor, which he definitely had.

Liu Mang's brain circuit was quite strange. What he thought of was... the general is so pitiful!





Arenas is heartbroken. He has played against the Hawks three times this season, and now this is the last time he plays against the Hawks this season.

As the boss of the Wizards, Arenas didn't hear any boos when he entered the competition venue of Phillips Arena. Everyone in the audience collectively wore the official jersey of the Hawks of the 'Rogue League'.

Wearing team T-shirts, everyone was cheering, and some of the more cheerful fans had already started dancing to the opening music.

Because, people are not shy enough to boo them.

When Arenas saw a row of substitutes lined up in the tunnel of the home team who might be better than his teammates, he felt that his life was extremely dark.

Ratliff, Prince, Liu Mang, Rasheed Wallace, and Raheem came out of the tunnel one after another. Every time Arenas saw each one, his heart collapsed a little.

When the 15 Eagles players, including Kevin Willis, Calderon and Ostertag in suits, all came to the court and lined up in a row, bowing in four directions to thank the fans.

The fans have always supported me, and I bowed neatly in four directions. I spent a long time practicing it before...

Arenas felt humiliated, they were completely ignored by their opponents!

But this kind of humiliation and unwillingness did not generate any motivation for Arenas. Instead, he only had... a deep sense of powerlessness!

Just like Xiaogangpao and the King of the North faced Xiao Zhanzhan in the future more than ten years later, Arenas saw Liu Mang and had no intention of defeating him from the bottom of his heart.

From the time Liu Mang used the exact same style of play as him, beat him better, and tortured him to pieces, Arenas and Liu Mang's desire to fight had completely collapsed!

In addition to being moved, the fans focused all their attention on Jason Terry.

Kevin Willis's red and green suit, the handkerchief on the chest is gaudy and there is a rose pattern exposed. It is already arrogant enough, Jason Terry is even more arrogant!

Not to mention the pink headband on the head, the sneakers on the left and right feet are in two colors, home and away. The key is the pair of long and sexy pink socks! There are also bows tied to the thighs that are exposed from the trouser legs...

Both fans and cameras were pointed at Jason Terry, and Jason Terry was even happier! He finally got the shot!

After paying tribute to the fans, Liu Mang came next to Jason Terry. He was a professional and would never smile. He gave a thumbs up to Jason Terry seriously and said: "Jason, what are you doing today?"

Awesome!"

With this encouragement, Jason Terry became even more enthusiastic. He went to the team staff in the player tunnel and picked up a few jersey sticks with his name on them, which were rolled up jerseys packed in stick-shaped packaging bags.

, ran around the stadium angrily and threw his jersey to the fans. The cheers on the scene became even more enthusiastic. Jason Terry felt that he had reached the peak of his life...



After the joyful opening ceremony, a while later, at half past eight, the game was about to begin!

Liu Mang's comeback! A game that broke the record in the new century! Liu Mang secured the scoring title in his first game!

ESPN added this game to the broadcast. Originally, the Wizards would be very happy to have a national broadcast. Although they are a team from the imperial capital of the United States, they have few national broadcasts in a year. By the end of the season, their record is so bad, it is even less likely to have one.

National live broadcast, the national live broadcast at this time is either to add extra broadcasts for the playoff spot games, or it is a strong showdown, but in the game against the Eagles, they got it once!

But the Wizards players, who usually go crazy wanting to have a national broadcast, now really want to cry!

Especially when I saw Liu Mang's final warm-up, he came up with the iconic freehand dunk with his heels on the free throw line, and his pretentious temperament like an elf floating in the air that always seemed to have spare power, the fans

They were cheering because of Liu Mang's dunk. Arenas looked at Liu Mang's figure and his heart completely collapsed: "Brother, please don't be so excited!"

With Arenas' desperate voice and Rasheed Wallace's iconic roar, the game begins!

The Wizards' lineup is Arenas, Larry Hughes, Jarvis Hayes who replaced the injured Stackhouse, Jared Jeffries, and Brandon Haywood.

For the Eagles, the lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff appeared.

The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, and Rasheed Wallace won the jump ball over Haywood.

Liu Mang jumped up the moment Rasheed Wallace passed the ball over, received the ball and immediately charged towards the frontcourt.

The Wizards' perimeter trio, except for Larry Hughes, the defense of the other two is simply a disaster!

When Liu Mang started to accelerate, Raheem and Prince also accelerated. Larry Hughes saw his two outside teammates stupidly and slowly retreating, not even making any move to block the opponent's fast break. Larry Hughes

Si blocked Liu Mang, and Liu Mang immediately passed it to Rahim. Larry Hughes ran over to block Rahim again. Rahim did not expect that someone else was blocking him, and immediately passed it to Pullin on the right side of the basket.

Si...

Not to mention, Larry Hughes' fighting spirit was really strong. The fighting spirit of his teammates had been completely suppressed. Only Larry Hughes was still very active and immediately rushed towards Prince.

Prince has never been greedy for credit. His first preparation after receiving the ball is not to dunk, but to immediately throw the ball into the air in the middle!

After Liu Mang passed the ball to Raheem, he rushed directly from the center. Haywood, who was retreating in the center of the Wizards, didn't even extend his hand. Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line and took off, got the ball in the air, and put his hands down, gorilla style.

Alley-oop and slam the ball into the basket!

Looking at the desolate expression of Larry Hughes, the favorite for this year's All-Defensive Team, Liu Mang felt deep sympathy. One man was defending three players. Why did this scene have an inexplicable sense of joy and familiarity?

Arenas has an ability evaluation of 84, Larry Hughes has an ability evaluation of 85, and Stackhouse has an ability evaluation of 83.

The reason why the Wizards once had three first-class and near-first-class perimeter trios in Arenas, Larry Hughes, and Stackhouse, but they also only had a perimeter trio and the other two except Pierce only had a 79 ability rating.

The reason why the Celtics' records are so different is because the three of them basically don't cooperate.

When the Wizards attacked, Arenas faced Prince and started a miserable one-on-one game. Then he couldn't get the ball out, so he shot by himself. On the first ball, his pull-up jumper was blocked...

Liu Mang applauded Prince in his heart. He immediately rushed to grab the ball, counterattacked and dunked again on fast break to score two points.

Even Larry Hughes is no longer chasing him, there is no way he can catch up!

Arenas hit one, and then Larry Hughes started to throw. Arenas was still able to pass the swing. He was originally a pure scoring point guard, and Larry Hughes... besides breaking through, he was beaten by Rahim.

Squeezing to the basket, Ratliff blocked Larry Hughes, and Rasheed Wallace flew over and hit a big block out of bounds.

Seeing his teammates fooling the Wizards, the third-last team in the Eastern Conference, Larry Hughes also began to doubt his life, wondering if he had made a wrong choice by following Jordan. Originally, he was quite excited to be teammates with his idol Jordan for one season.

He was happy. Even if Jordan retired after playing half a season, he was happy to be able to witness it with his own eyes and as a teammate to witness Jordan's last year. Even if he received four to five million US dollars less in the three-year contract, he was still happy because the third

The team had great signings in the summer of the second year. Arenas came and the top draft pick left.

But until now, although Arenas is very good, he is not as good as the 40-year-old Jordan last year. When Jordan was here, he could organize the team very well. Before Jordan retired, the Wizards were still eighth in the Eastern Conference! Arenas is here

Stackhouse seems to be a reinforcement. He scores about the same as Jordan and has more assists than Jordan, but his teammates are basically useless. Stackhouse does not have the performance of 21 points per game last season. He can only play in singles non-stop. Others are also useless.

They are all beating themselves up. At this time last year, the Wizards had 35 wins, but this year they only had 20 wins...

Moreover, after seeing the dead ball, the Eagles replaced Ratliff and replaced him with Kwame Brown. The parallel import number one pick that Larry Hughes once extremely disliked and ruined Jordan's "lifelong fame" went to the Eagles and immediately became

The potential defensive gate has been revealed. He has scored double 20 twice this season. He is just waiting for Ratliff to soar when he gets older. Larry Hughes feels that the Wizards team he is now on is poisonous!

After Liu Mang saw Rasheed Wallace blowing the ball out of bounds with the help of Rahim and Ratliff, he looked at the rookie Jarvis Hayes next to him and asked jokingly: "

Hey boy, is it your turn to hit me alone?"
