Charlotte, the Hawks haven't been here in more than a year.

However, the current Eagles don't have much thought about the time they played against the previous teams here.

The Atlanta Welfare team is always last in the Care League.

The Bobcats, who had lost five games in a row at the beginning, met the Eagles, who were temporarily tied for first place in the Eastern Conference. They had already lost five games in a row. Boss Joe didn't even come to watch the game today. The newly built team was terrible. Boss Joe wanted to know what the Bobcats were like.

The goal of the season is to pick a high-draft pick and select a core outsider.

With Okafor as the core inside player, he plays much better than the No. 1 pick, and with Gerald Wallace as the forward swingman, he is young, talented and capable. He is only 22 years old and his future is limitless. He only needs a point guard.

The core of the ball, Brevin Knight's statistics look very impressive, but he is like the future Kendall Marshall, a pure assist brush, dribbling for more than ten seconds, passing the ball to teammates, and of course he can also make good passes.

He has the ball, but he needs to control the ball for too long, and he is 1.78 meters tall and has no defense at all, so it is very suitable for him to mess around with.

Mr. Joe knows that the team is bad and must be bad, but he doesn't want to see Liu Mang abuse his team, so he traveled to Los Angeles these days and discussed a trade with the Lakers.

However, the Bobcats' reputation as the "nemesis of strong teams" started from the first year they entered the NBA!

As if they were all fired up when they met the Eagles, the Bobcats were too accurate from the outside today!

When Brevin Knight, a guy who has played for more than seven years in his career and has only made 34 three-pointers in total, made 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single game, the Bobcats were all on fire from the outside!

The Bobcats threw a total of 27 three-pointers in the game and made 14!

For the Hawks, the three-point shooting was normal, with 9 of 24 shots. Liu Mang also scored 31 points. Tracy McGrady had 20 points and 8 assists. His performance was quite normal.

But the Eagles were killed by the Bobcats just because they performed normally!

Because the Eagles performed normally and scored 102 points, which was not good or bad, but the Bobcats scored 114 points!

Okafor had 30 points and 11 rebounds, Gerald Wallace made 4 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 31 points on 11 of 20 shots. Coupled with a number of inexplicably bright shooters from the outside, the Bobcats' entire team scored explosively.

Got it!

Okafor and Gerald Wallace both scored 30, both setting new career highs...

It’s not that the Hawks don’t defend well, defense requires strategy. If you flank efficient scorers and help defend efficient scorers, you will inevitably miss someone, and the choice to miss someone is often the opponent’s player who is least accurate in long-range shooting.

But when Blevin Knight made 3 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 8 shots from the field, and scored 14 points, all of which were long-range shots, and had 13 assists, the Bobcats usually had countless irons.

The players are all on point.

There is no way to prevent this!

At the end of the game, Liu Mang saw Kobe, Odom, and Butler sitting together and laughing!

This bastard! Liu Mang said that he didn't see this bastard, and even if he did, he wouldn't invite him to dinner... Of course, if the little blacksmith was treating him, that would be a different matter.

The Bobcats were miserable. They certainly didn't have much strength in their first season in the league, so they were treated as a record cash machine for other teams. The league didn't even consider them even a little bit. They had 19 back-to-back games in a single season... but there were more than twice.

With five or more rest days, the schedule will be as unreasonable as possible.

Just like now, the Bobcats have back-to-back home games, playing the Hawks first and then the Lakers.

Not many of the fans at the scene came to see the Bobcats, but to see the stars of the Eagles and Lakers. However, most of them were locals from Charlotte. When they saw the local team win, they still tied for first place in the Eastern Conference.

, of course I’m happy!

In fact, the Bobcats are not the worst team this season.

No, there is a team that has also been here, and it is worse than them. The Hornets just ended their seventh game this afternoon. They have lost seven consecutive games...

The Bobcats won today, leaving the Hornets alone in last place in the league.

After seeing the Bobcats win a regular season game, No. 2 pick Okafor led his teammates to celebrate. It was just like the Chinese New Year. Liu Mang was originally very depressed, but he couldn't stay depressed anymore.

I think they were the same back then. After winning against the Lakers and Spurs, everyone was celebrating. Thinking of that time, Liu Mang felt a little ashamed.

Forget it, we have to lose after all. After five consecutive victories, the team became a little impetuous. This is the side effect of the so-called strong mentality. Not only others, Liu Mang felt that he was a little careless after five consecutive victories.

Seeing that it was the Bobcats, I was thinking about how to torture the Bobcats, but I was caught off guard by the opponent's outburst.

It’s too underestimating the enemy!

But fortunately, it doesn't matter that we lost to a team at the bottom of the league.

Liu Mang and McGrady looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and returned to the locker room.

As soon as he opened the locker in the dressing room, Liu Mang noticed that his cell phone was ringing.

Liu Mang was very curious, who hit him?

The news of the loss spread so quickly? That's wrong! There was no national live broadcast of this game. It seems that the Bobcats only had two live broadcasts of the opening game and the closing game throughout the season.

Liu Mang picked up the phone and looked at it, wanting to hang up immediately.

It's Kobe!

Liu Mang had a very bad premonition. Should he hang up?

After thinking about it, I might as well pick it up.

Liu Mang had just connected, but before he could speak, a burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Hahahahahaha... Ace Liu actually lost to the last place in the league, hahahaha, it's really useless, there are so many helpers

Still so useless...hahahahaha...beep beep beep beep..."

Liu Mang was frightened by the crazy laughter and had no time to respond. As soon as he realized it, the other party had already hung up the phone!

"You damn bastard, you actually figured out the time to call and laugh at me!"

…

…

At noon on the 8th, the Hawks returned to Atlanta. After playing four consecutive away games, there were five consecutive home games. The schedule was still very friendly to the Hawks. Of course, it was only from November to January, and the difficulties started again.

Already.

Just after playing four consecutive away games, the Hawks returned to Atlanta for a day off. They won't have training until tomorrow, the afternoon of the 9th, and will face the Nuggets at home on the 10th to kick off five consecutive home games.

Liu Mang first sent Tracy McGrady home, and then returned home. He took out the scouting report summarized by fax that the coaching staff received last night when he just returned to Atlanta, and briefly looked at the results of the next five games.

The opponent's starting situation is all in it.

Nuggets, Hornets, Trail Blazers, Heat, Rockets.

The Heat and Rockets are on the 15th and 17th, which means it’s a difficult schedule in the second half of November.

However, except for the Nuggets, the first three games were relatively easy.

One game at a time, the regular season is still going on.

Liu Mang took a look at the starting situation of the entire league. Almost all teams have played six to seven games. He can also see the situation of each team in the league. The teams that need to make adjustments are all

It may be necessary to adjust, and it's time to start considering this transaction. Similarly, it's also time for teams that want to strengthen or give away team assets in exchange for immediate combat power to take action.

After the Eagles lost to the Bobcats, their record became 5 wins and 1 loss, and they were surpassed by the Pistons.

The Pistons started with 7 consecutive wins!

Liu Mang was shocked when he saw it! The new head coach of the Pistons is so awesome!

Coach Flip Saunders, Liu Mang recalled that Larry Brown was fired a year in advance, and coach Flip Saunders, who was unemployed at home, was hired by the Pistons a year in advance.

Historically, in the 2004-05 season, the Pistons only won 54 games in the regular season. Larry Brown was fired immediately after losing in the finals. If he hadn't won the championship in 2004, he might have been fired at that time.

He had an extremely bad relationship with the players, and then coach Flip Saunders took over the Pistons. In the 2005-06 season, they won the best 64 wins in the history of the Pistons, and they were also the second-best regular season team after the new century after the Lakers.

Good results.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang felt that Philip Sanders was so awesome!

Look at the Timberwolves, under the leadership of McHale, they started with 1 win and 5 losses.

He can cultivate tough guys and lead a strong defensive team to play a good offense!

Liu Mang looked at the Pistons' numbers at the start of this year. They averaged 97 points per game and conceded 90 points per game. Although the gap with last season's average of 83 points conceded per game is a bit big, the league's average defense is declining this year. The Pistons

This team is already the second-best defensive team in the league at the beginning, with the Spurs being the first-best.

In terms of scoring, the Pistons are at least in the middle of the league!

The Pistons are pretty awesome!

But...Liu Mang saw that the Pistons had become great and had a good coach, but he just didn't like the Pistons...he just had the confidence to beat them to death...

The Hawks are ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 5 wins and 1 loss, the Nets are ranked third with 4 wins and 3 losses, and the Heat are ranked fourth with 5 wins and 2 losses. The unlucky Heat are ranked first in the division by the Nets.

Gotta die.

The Pacers are ranked fifth with 5 wins and 2 losses, the Bulls are ranked sixth with 4 wins and 3 losses, the 76ers are ranked seventh with 3 wins and 3 losses, and the Celtics are ranked eighth with 3 wins and 3 losses.

In the West, if you only look at the second to eighth teams, they are the Spurs, SuperSonics, Mavericks, Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets, and Grizzlies, which is quite harmonious. But after looking at it, the third to last in the West is the Timberwolves, then

Damn it!

First place in the Western Conference, occupied by the Suns!

Starting with 6 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the Western Conference!

"Nash is starting to take off! When can we play against Nash who has become the Son of the Wind? I'm so looking forward to it! Let's see...it's next year, it's boring." Liu Mang took out the player's manual and looked at the schedule. In 2004

No game against the Suns.
