804. Five consecutive wins at the beginning
Kobe's 46 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists were defeated by Liu Mang's 43 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists and Tracy McGrady's 30 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists, which caused a huge response after the game.
The influence of superstars on a team is in all aspects, and they may not feel it themselves. Like McGrady, he works hard to integrate into the team through defense, and the team also works hard to integrate McGrady into the team's defense.
, however, in the process of integration, the superstar's influence is too strong, and McGrady's style of play is also changing the Hawks.
The combination of McGrady's temperament and the temperament of the Hawks has brought about a new temperament, which is chic yet vulgar, vulgar yet unrestrained, turning the Eagles from a defensive team into a more unrestrained team.
.
In the past, the unrestrainedness of the Eagles was mainly due to Liu Mang. The unrestrainedness of the Eagles now is due to the addition of Tracy McGrady, and the whole team became unrestrained... The type of impact that a core organizer and a scorer bring to the team are completely different. Liu Mang is
He asked the whole team to cooperate for him, and McGrady clarified his teammates' playing styles, used himself to drive his teammates, and brought his temperament to his teammates!
He can still score points and organize attacks, freeing Liu Mang to score easily. The key is to be able to score by himself without having much impact on Liu Mang's scoring. Although Tracy McGrady does reduce Liu Mang's shooting rights, it allows Liu Mang to score easily.
The efficiency has become even higher!
I saw that after Tracy McGrady came to the Hawks, he was like a nouveau riche, getting rebounds and assists at will, and he could score if he wanted to, and it did not affect Liu Mang's scoring!
It is said that the Heat and Wizards are the biggest winners of the summer trade, and now it seems that the Hawks will not lose to these two teams!
Replacing a top ten superstar in the league with a top three superstar in the league will have no worse effect on the Eagles than Raheem!
Even if it weren't for the Magic to clear out Juwan Howard's garbage contract and send away Barnes and Ratliff, just say that Raheem was replaced by Tracy McGrady, this transaction was a huge profit, and Ratliff and Barnes
After leaving, he also picked Josh Smith, who is full of talent. There is no special profit, and it is also a perfect deal.
…
The game against the Lakers is the start of the Hawks' four consecutive away games.
After defeating the Lakers, the Hawks will challenge the Trail Blazers and Kings away from home on November 4th and 5th.
The old flying squirrels Damon Stoudemire and Van Exel are past their prime, and Antoine Walker is missing. They can only use Derek Anderson, who is also past his prime, to play small forward. The only star Zach-
Randolph is a big brush, and the center is Joel Przybilla.
With such a lineup, who would have thought that the Portland tycoon team that was so prosperous three or four years ago would suddenly turn into a garbage contract concentration camp?
After Randolph scored 20.10 in his third year last season, although he was not recognized by the media and fans, the Blazers boss immediately gave him a three-year, 36 million contract extension in advance because Randolph said he would not renew the contract.
Apply for a transaction.
Three years and 36 million, renewing a contract for a 20-10 power forward who is only 23 years old is not a loss no matter how you look at it, the Blazers didn't think much and immediately renewed the contract.
Who would have known that just after renewing his contract, Randolph gained more than ten pounds in the new season, and his data declined in all aspects, including points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, shooting percentage, playing time... all declined, except for the number of turnovers and fouls.
Technical fouls skyrocketed. In the first four games, there was a six-foul departure and two technical fouls...
This is not the scariest thing for the Trail Blazers. Even if they are slacking off after getting a big contract, Randolph is still a power forward averaging 15.8 per game. Barely speaking, the three-year 36 million renewal contract plus the rookie contract still has one more year.
Years, that is, 38 million in 4 years, does not seem like a loss.
The scariest thing for the Trail Blazers is the team atmosphere!
Randolph actually got involved with gangsters and tempted his rookie teammates to take illegal drugs. This was discovered by Derrick Anderson, a master's student at the University of Kentucky School of Medicine. Then two factions formed within the Blazers.
There are the bad boys headed by Randolph, and the other side is the upright people headed by Derek Anderson.
After the police intervened in the investigation, the Blazers' prison team became famous this past summer. How could the prison team only have prisoners? In addition to Derek Anderson, who may be a future doctor, the Blazers also have a god.
——Reuben Patterson, who claims to be the Kobe Bryant Terminator, was dug out and is a top student graduating from the University of Cincinnati’s Jurisprudence... The future Mr. Superintendent may become Mr. Police Inspector...
The Portland Prison Team is known for this…
Don't try too hard to beat the Trail Blazers. No one can stand the opponent. Liu Mang goes up and throws. McGrady organizes the offense. Liu Mang throws more happily than before. The key is to beat the Trail Blazers. The opponent is too old, too slow and too slow.
Without a tacit understanding, Liu Mang had a lot of open spaces. When Tracy McGrady burst out, he was left empty. He easily scored 28 points in the three quarters and rested.
Before the game started, when watching the scouting report with Rasheed Wallace, Liu Mang learned that after hearing Rasheed Wallace's introduction, the older generation of NBA players entered the NBA after finishing college.
Here, it turns out there are so many gods and men!
97 to 84. With Liu Mang's 28 points in the third quarter and McGrady's 17 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, the Hawks easily defeated the Trail Blazers and won their fourth consecutive victory.
…
On November 5th, the Eagles flew from Portland to Sacramento, the capital of California, in the early morning.
The league gave the Hawks four relatively easy games to adapt to the start of the new season, and then immediately gave the Hawks a tough one. The third game of the season was broadcast nationally and was an away game against the Kings.
The Kings almost overturned the Timberwolves in the second round last season. This year, Webber returned to health, the Lakers collapsed, and the Spurs performed poorly in the playoffs last year. The Kings should have become the second seed in the Western Conference after the Timberwolves.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang led his teammates and prepared to take advantage of their four-game winning streak to deal with the Kings.
Who knew that the gorgeous Kings would completely collapse this season...
The Kings are regarded as the strongest team in the Western Conference after the Timberwolves. However, the Timberwolves lost their first four games in a row...
As for the Kings, they only had 1 win and 3 losses in the beginning, mainly because the defense collapsed!
Doug Christie's aging came too suddenly. He was still on the second defense last season, and was pushed to the second defense by Kobe and Kidd, and even Duncan was pushed to the second defense. He seemed to be at his peak, and it was not about his physical fitness.
With his excellent style of play, everyone thought that he would become stronger with age. Who knows if he should grow old or not? At the beginning of this season, his open three-point shooting percentage dropped directly from 39.5% last season.
To 6.7 percent!
In the first four games, Doug Christie made only 1 of 15 three-pointers!
This is not the most critical thing. Doug Christie was the mainstay of the Kings' perimeter defense last season. This year, anyone can break him out of control, causing the Kings' perimeter defense to collapse.
On the offensive end, Bibby and Webber still cooperated tacitly, but when the ball reached Doug Christie, the offense suddenly stopped. The more Doug Christie failed to make a shot, the less people would rotate to defend him, and he had no chance.
If you pass the ball to an open teammate, Princeton will not be able to operate.
Princeton is like this, focusing on five players. When Webber was injured, Divac could still barely support the team's operation, but with Doug Christie, no one else in the Kings could make up for his loss!
A blue-collar shooting guard who does not occupy the ball, has three points, can be selected for the first defense or the second defense, and can also average 4 assists per game by relying on his understanding of the system when he does not have much possession of the ball. There is no such blue-collar shooting guard in the league.
The second one.
In other words, there is almost no possibility of copying the five members of the Kings team!
They have been actively seeking trades since the beginning of the season, probably only the Kings. There is no way around this. The owner has no money, and the government will not build a new arena. Only by maintaining continued competitiveness can they ensure the team's income. Princeton is
Yes, they are gorgeous, but every player is expensive. The cheapest one, Doug Christie, costs 8 million a year.
In fact, it doesn't matter. If you can't find one that fits perfectly, just find one that is barely adequate. In the past two years, Divac has been on the verge of retirement, so he just found Brad Miller to make do.
Just find someone who can make do with it, such as Gerald Wallace...
A player who played less and less playing time last season and averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds per game this season came to the new team Bobcats and started 13 5 3... This data is almost the same as Doug Christie's data in previous seasons.
The most important thing is that in addition to his lack of experience in defense, Gerald Wallace has learned everything from Doug Christie's defense...
It would be fine if Doug Christie's defense just collapsed, but the key is that his offense also collapsed.
Although Bibby and Weber have cooperated well this season, it can be clearly seen that Weber's defense has degenerated into scum. Bibby is short and cannot defend well, let alone Peja, who is known for his passive defense. Brad Mi
Le's defense is good, but he alone can't make a difference. Originally, the Kings could only rely on offense, and Doug Christie's offense also collapsed. The Kings were completely unable to play in the beginning.
Adelman is not someone who thinks too much about players. He is similar to Pat Riley in that he doesn't think about the future of players.
The Kings' five tigers have been working together for so many years and have a very good relationship. Brad Miller also quickly integrated into the circle of the five tigers. Because Adelman was seeking to trade Doug Christie and Webber, the Kings were already declining in strength.
Under the circumstances, internal strife also occurred!
It was already a bad game, and now it's even worse.
Originally, Liu Mang and others thought it was going to be a tough fight, and they were ready to go all out for this back-to-back game. Who knew that the 24-kilogram golden hammer was used, but before they could use any force, the Kings fell down on their own.
Got it!
113 to 91, five consecutive victories came too easily!
Liu Mang didn't expect to win five consecutive victories so easily: Could it be that I worked so hard to lead this group of teammates who are getting more and more powerful in grabbing the shots? I can't stand it. It's too hard for me to lead this group of selfish teammates.
, so give me a winning streak?
Often after a prosperous era, what follows is great turmoil in the league. In the 2003-2004 season, most of the new, middle and old generations of stars were at their peak or at the tail end of their peak or had begun to show their superstar style. There were as many as eight or nine.
A team that looks like it can compete for the championship can be called a prosperous team.
As the saying goes, prosperity and decline, especially after the prosperity, there are rule changes that shake the order of the alliance.
With 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Liu Mang played 35 minutes, making 9 of 17 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws. He easily got all the data. Liu Mang originally wanted to shoot more, but Liu Mang was very disappointed.
What makes him angry is that with only one person guarding him, McGrady actually passed the ball to Josh Smith and Kwame Brown who were cutting! Let these two dunk!
Liu Mang looked at the three annoying high school students with resentment: Pass the ball to me, he will shoot. If he doesn't make the shot, you can still grab the rebound! If the shot is made, it is a three-pointer. If the shot is not made, you can grab the rebound.
It's two points and a rebound, how good it is!
Liu Mang despised the three high school students crazily.
However, I am still very happy to have won five consecutive games. I thought it would be difficult to beat the Kings, but I didn't expect that the opponent was really going to disband.
Liu Mang has nothing to regret about this. His current goal is his next opponent: Boss Qiao, suffer death!
