939. Tracy, do you want to have this ring?(1/2)
The NBA has entered the end of the season. Every team and every player is working hard, either for victory, for their own data, or for failure. They are all working hard for their own goals.
The only exception is the Eagles.
To use an adjective more than ten years later, it is to play with "Buddha nature".
The remaining opponents in March are all teams that want to make the playoffs or are stuck in the playoff rankings.
Games against these opponents are very troublesome. The Hawks continue to rest and polish their tactics. As long as they can win, they don't send out all their main players just to win one or two more games. Prince has played in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years.
Both Terry and Liu Mang have played in the Eastern Conference Finals for three years as the main force or even the core scorer. Although Liu Mang doesn't care about physical fitness or injuries, the coaching staff doesn't want them to be too tired in the regular season.
Rasheed Wallace will be 31 in September, which means he is in good condition, has good physical fitness, and is mainly resistant to grass. Like Webber, he started to suffer from injuries at the age of 30.
The Eagles play the remaining games in March with the mentality of a championship team.
Liu Mang followed the running tactics in every game, practiced his off-ball skills, and tried training on fadeaway jumpers and the combination of high post and fadeaways during the game. He scored 378 points in each game and played his first game of the season.
In the fourth and final game against the Cavaliers, he scored 45 points, successfully surpassing Rick Barry and becoming the third person in history to score 40 points in a single season after Chamberlain and Jordan.
In the last game in March, Liu Mang defeated the Raptors and scored 44 points and 11 rebounds, scoring his 30th 40-pointer of the season. He successfully became the third player to score 30 40-pointers in a single season.
James and Milicic were already numb. In the other five games of the last seven games, Liu Mang played very casually, treating the games as training, following the team's plan, and going crazy when beating them.
It's amazing. In the two games they played, McGrady passed a lot of balls to Liu Mang when he didn't take a rest. If they hadn't double-teamed Liu Mang later and asked McGrady to pass the ball to others, Liu Mang would have passed the ball to others.
Mang was able to score two more 50s with McGrady's pass.
However, when the two teams saw that Liu Mang was about to reach 40 points, they began to attack frantically. This was a situation that Liu Mang often encountered in the next seven games. It was like this in almost every game. After he passed 30 points, his opponents began to guard him tightly.
, he almost always got 30 in three quarters, but in the end he still only had 30 in the game.
Opponents didn't want to be the background of Liu Mang's record. That is to say, when playing against the Cavaliers and Raptors, Liu Mang was determined to do it. When he was flanked, he still hit the opponent with the ball.
After the games in March, Liu Mang's average points per game stabilized between 37.4 and 37.6 points. After scoring 44 points in the final game of March against the Raptors, Liu Mang's average points per game returned to 37.6 points.
With 9 games left, it is certain that Liu Mang will surpass Jordan's 37.1 points per game. Liu Mang can even take a truce directly and lock in the scoring champion, but the Eagles' tactics are designed around him catching and shooting.
Moreover, Liu Mang also wants to play the entire season, but he has not yet played full attendance.
Tracy McGrady's average data per game has been stable at 15.3 points and 12 assists. He is fighting for the assists title with Nash. As long as he plays, he will make assists.
After the difficult schedule in March, the Hawks got 5 wins and 2 losses in the last seven games, which was a very good performance. The Suns and Pistons lost relatively more during this period. The Suns got 10 in March.
With 5 wins and 5 losses, the Pistons got 9 wins and 6 losses.
After the games in March, the Hawks' record improved to 62 wins and 11 losses, continuing to rank first in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons ranked second with 57 wins and 16 losses. The Nets ranked third with 42 wins and 31 losses.
The Heat ranked fourth with 53 wins and 20 losses.
In the West, the Suns ranked first in the Western Conference with 58 wins and 16 losses, the SuperSonics ranked second with 53 wins and 19 losses, the Spurs ranked third with 52 wins and 21 losses, the Mavericks ranked fourth with 49 wins and 24 losses, and the Rockets
Ranked fifth with 47 wins and 26 losses, and the Kings ranked sixth with 45 wins and 28 losses.
There are only ten teams in the East and West that have a chance to win 50 games or have already won 50 games. Generally speaking, the Western Conference has a more balanced record, while the Eastern Conference is polarized.
In the news in the second half of March, the Eagles made fewer headlines. They only made headlines when the Eagles won 60 games for the third time in four years and when Liu Mang surpassed Rick Barry.
Compared with the top five in the Eastern Conference and the top three in the Western Conference, which are firmly dominating the rankings, the competition for the sixth, seventh, and eighth spots in the Eastern Conference is intensifying, and the competition for the fourth to sixth positions in the Western Conference is also fierce. The Eagles' regular season performance has not received much attention.
Already.
A lot of things happened in March, not only the team, but also related to the stars.
The Timberwolves' alien Cassel announced that he would not renew his contract with the Timberwolves, allowing other teams to pursue him in the summer... and then was suspended from the Timberwolves for a week.
After Kobe scored 58 points, he was out for the season starting on March 15th. He went to Germany to treat his damaged knee. German orthopedic technology is still very good...
…
…
"sweet...OK."
"The filming is finally done, uncle, will the teacher have a younger brother or younger sister?"
"How many times have you asked me, I don't know, just do whatever you want... Dinah, run!"
"You can call me whatever you want! Ace, stop!"
On the first day of the new month, Liu Mang and Sanniu asked their bodyguard Christine Wagner to take a group photo.
Alexia is almost three months pregnant and her belly is already swollen. She went for a checkup yesterday and found everything to be healthy.
The doctor said that the gender could be determined in about two weeks, but Liu Mang didn't care about this very much, so he didn't make an appointment for this test.
After the first two months of pregnancy, Alexia had obviously begun to gain weight and was eating more and more...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! April 1st is April Fool's Day. In previous years, Liu Mang would go to record programs or something, but not this year. He would stay at home more when he has time to play at home.
I had a day off at home on the 1st. Of course, I still didn’t relax in my training. I practiced shooting for two hours in the morning and afternoon.
On April 2, the Eagles began the remaining nine games in April.
The Eagles' schedule in the first half of the season was easy, but from mid-January to April, it was unreal.
From the 2nd to the 15th, in 14 days, the Eagles have 9 games...
After a rest, the last regular season match against the Washington Wizards came on the 2nd. Liu Mang scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the Hawks easily win 121-110.
For the NCAA finals on the 3rd, the NBA took a collective truce for one day.
I don’t know if a player who retired and became the boss is no longer watching the game at North Carolina’s home court. The North Carolina Blue Devils played very anxiously when they went from 64 to 32, and they also played very ugly when they went from 32 to 16. But from March 15th, a certain
After the owner of an NBA team left Charlotte to travel, North Carolina, which was originally expected to stop in the quarterfinals, went berserk. It scored 8 goals and defeated the defending champion University of Connecticut by 22 points. It defeated the defending champion University of Connecticut by 22 points in the semifinals.
The University of Kansas and North Carolina are good, but they are not regarded as championship seeds. Raymond Felton performed brilliantly in the semi-finals. From the draft prediction of No. 78 in the first round, he directly entered the top three.
!
North Carolina went all the way to the finals to defeat Florida State University 75-70, winning the NCAA championship. Senior Sean May won the Final Four MOP, and North Carolina's four young men became famous throughout the United States.
Marvin Williams, Sean May, Raymond Felton, and Rashad McCants have become famous. North Carolina's leading point guard Raymond Felton said that the NCAA can no longer
Challenged him to declare his participation in this year's NBA draft. The other three young players responded one after another and collectively declared their participation in the NBA, and they were all regarded as lottery favorites.
In April, the Eagles had three back-to-back games, namely one with four games in five days and one with four games in seven days.
Except for the last two games, the rest are back-to-back.
It's impossible not to take a rest in this situation. Except for Liu Mang, who was on the field to hold the line, the rest of the Eagles took a more thorough rest.
In three back-to-back games, the Eagles achieved a record of 3 wins and 3 losses. In the three back-to-back games, they won the first game and lost the second game.
If Liu Mang wants to compete with the team, he won't give it. The first place in the regular season is basically stable. There is no need to fight for the victory in the regular season. Just enjoy the competition. If you score more points than the opponent, you will win. Good job.
Practice the offensive tactics involving role players well.

"The playoffs are coming!" Jason Terry roared outside Phillips Arena back at home.
"I don't know him, I don't know him..." Others in the Eagles covered their faces and walked to the Phillips Mall near Phillips Arena to buy some socks, wrist guards, elbow pads and tape for the playoffs.
s things.
For the playoffs, a new look, everything needs to be changed.
Finally, on April 11, after the Eagles lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in an away game, the Eagles' record became 66 wins and 14 losses, and the difficult schedule was finally over.
The Hawks returned to Atlanta at noon on the 12th and immediately started a team meeting. There are still two games left, playing the Spurs on the 13th and the Pacers on the 15th, ending two consecutive home games.
Originally, the game against the Pacers was to prepare the Hawks for the final game of the playoffs. Who knew that the Pacers collapsed after a fight, so the Spurs game, which the TV stations did not want to broadcast live, became a national broadcast.
After nearly two months of rest, the Eagles are finally starting to play games together as a team again!
In the last two games, the Eagles' coaching staff and players all wanted to play in a playoff style!
In addition to allowing the players to recover their physical fitness, resting also plays a key role, which is to prevent the players from reaching their peak condition too early and to do so step by step.
It was Liu Mang who proposed this. He extracted it from the future Spurs system.
Moreover, this can also suppress the players' energy and let them release it in the playoffs. Now, it's the best time!
After buying their own things, the Eagles players returned to Phillips Arena. The conference room had been decorated, and the Eagles began their team meeting.
Mainly about tomorrow's game against the Spurs, it's really like the playoffs, and we have done targeted research.
Of course, this is related to the fact that the Spurs are the most likely opponent to encounter in the finals.
The Spurs' troika, including Parker, is a bit greener. The other two are tough players, and the Spurs' role players are very powerful. Compared with the Eagles, if the Eagles hadn't added Persson and
Mourning and even the Spurs are even better. The Hawks' bench is talented, but they are all too young.
The rotation allowed the Eagles players to have sufficient physical fitness. After the team meeting against the Spurs, tactical training began in the afternoon.
There is a big difference between the regular season and the playoffs. Regular season training is limited to three practices a week. Team training in the regular season is usually two practices a week, while in the playoffs, it usually starts with three practices a week. If there is an early promotion
, there are basically trainings every day. Of course, the training for the playoffs is usually half a day, half a day to train and half a day to study the opponent.
Face the same opponent for at least four consecutive games and adjust your tactics all the time.
During the playoff-level tactical training, the atmosphere was obviously different. The main players, who had been suppressed for two months, caught the substitutes and brutalized them.
