From today on is the king

Chapter 1339 1338. The Knights' Big Three Attack (35)

Is it much easier for McGrady to come back?
15 out of 4...

McGrady came back after missing five games, but he couldn't find the touch for a while. In the first 11 shots, he only scored 1 goal!

Finally, before leaving the field, I found the feeling that I made 4 of 3 shots, and I couldn't save the situation!

In the first eleven shots, McGrady missed 5 open shots, allowing the opponent to double-team Liu Mang, and Liu Mang only made 20 of 8 shots...

McGrady came back, and the Eagles fans were very excited. When the Southwest Division had three consecutive away, the Eagles seemed to have found their feeling.

But facing the Pacers, he was beaten...

12月12号, 老鹰队和东部倒数第四的步行者队的比赛中, 麦迪11分，刘莽25分, 贾森-特里13分，夸梅-布朗8分14板，不敌拿到11分4板12助攻的斯蒂芬杰克逊可25分9板的小奥尼尔带领的步行者，老鹰队89比102，客场输给了步行者队。

The only good thing about this game is that McGrady has been unable to find the touch for a long time, but he found the touch when the game was about to enter garbage time.

After all, I haven't played in five games. I have trained and participated in team tactical drills. It is already very good to be able to find the feeling in the second half of the first game back.

15胜9负，距离16胜11负的热火队，和15胜11负的猛龙队，已经没有多大优势了！
Moreover, the relatively easy schedule of the opening 24 games has passed.

Although there are still 12 days in December, there are only 19 games, but these 7 games are strong opponents in the playoffs!

It is about to enter the middle of the season, and the Eagles are going to be in charge of traffic again!

Cavaliers, Raptors, Suns, Mavericks, the key is the penultimate game of this month, the Christmas game against the Lakers on December 12!

The last two games are not to be taken lightly either, the Wizards and the Heat!
There is only one game in the Christmas War this year, the game between the Eagles and the Lakers.

Gasol returned on Dec. 12.

What is a hit-and-miss match? Kobe, Yao Ming, Gasol. Gasol came back. In the first game he played for the Lakers, he scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, helping Yao Ming score 33 points and 10 rebounds. Kobe only scored 9 points, but Kobe broke through and gave the ball to Gasol. Gasol's high pass activated his teammates!

Liu Mang seemed to hear the laughter in the toilets of the Staples Center in Atlanta.

Fortunately, Marion must have come back at that time. By December 12, Marion had removed the splint and started to do restorative training. Before that, he was not even allowed to shoot. He could only do aerobic training that had nothing to do with his right hand, and strength training for his waist, abdomen, and lower limbs.

And McGrady is in a better state, but he didn't find the touch in the confrontation with the Pacers for a while.

But before meeting that guy, McGrady can come back, which gave Liu Mang a lot of help.

That guy, it seems that he can't play around like before...

……

……

"I'm No. [-] in the East."

"I'm averaging 15 points per game."

"I'm averaging 12 rebounds per game!"

"I averaged 13 rebounds last year, and I averaged 15 points."

"I'm averaging 3.1 blocks per game."

"I'm averaging 15 points per game."

"Can you stop talking about averaging 15 points per game!"

"I won three consecutive championships."

"..."

"My best team for two years."

"..."

"I started as an All-Star for three years."

"..."

Kwame Brown and Chandler's bickering wins!

Chandler, who watched Kwame Brown getting more and more coquettish in the past three years, has also started to get better this year. He averaged 9.6 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game, especially 4.6 offensive rebounds.

All-Star... Chandler basically missed that stuff. The only Cavaliers who have a chance to be an All-Star are Peja.

Even if the Cavaliers currently have a record of 22 wins and 5 losses, beating the Bulls with 21 wins and 5 losses, temporarily ranking first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league, it is difficult to have many All-Stars.

After all, whether it is the Cavaliers, Mavericks or Bulls, none of them have the crushing record of the Eagles in the first three seasons. Even the Eagles have the worst record of 68 wins, and they are all crushing.

As the No. 2001 pick in the [-] draft after Kwame Brown, Chandler has been competing with Kwame Brown. He finally formed a championship combination with James and Peja, but he still couldn't beat Kwame Brown.

Both of them disliked each other.

James stared at the two people at the next table, and couldn't help but asked Liu Mang on the opposite side: "Ace, why do these two guys sit and eat together? If you hate each other so much, don't sit at the same table!"

"LeBron, you don't understand. They call it deep love. From now on, when you take a shower, don't wash it with your center forward." Liu Mang responded jokingly.

"Deep love? Is there?" James looked at Kwame Brown and Chandler, and couldn't see the meaning of love at all, and James was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why can't I take a shower with Tyson?"

"Eh..." Liu Mang said casually, but he didn't expect this guy to be so serious. In this case, of course Liu Mang had to explain the brilliance of human nature to Xiao Zhan Zhan.

"LeBron, do you use soap in the shower?" Liu Mang asked.

James didn't know why Liu Mang asked this, and replied: "Soap? Yes, I don't like body wash, it's slippery."

"That's right, when you take a shower, there will be cases where soap accidentally falls on the floor."

"Have."

"Will you pick up the soap when it falls?"

"Of course, you can't waste things."

"Then how do you pick it up?"

"Bend down to pick it up...bend down?"

This kind of thing, if you don’t deliberately mention it, you won’t think so much, and you will think it’s a normal thing, but Liu Mang said before that Kwame Brown and Chandler “love deeply”, James suddenly thought too much, and the posture when he was bending over to pick up soap appeared in his head. at the next table...

December 12th is the day when the Eagles return to their home court to play against the Cavaliers.

On the 13th, the Cavaliers had arrived in Atlanta. Liu Mang, James, Tracy McGrady, Chandler, Kwame Brown, and Newbell had dinner together.

Peja didn't come. He was the player the Cavaliers hated Liu Mang the most. In the summer, everyone knew that Peja had no trade value, and the Eagles didn't go for it because the relationship between the two was not good.

In the conversation with James, Liu Mang and James didn't talk too much about the NBA and the game. Instead, they talked about everyday things. Even if they talked about the NBA, they talked about some interesting things, and the injuries that have increased sharply this season, etc.

"Ace, have you heard? The league plans to increase the roster from 12 to 13, so that more players can participate in the game and reduce the risk of injury." James said.

"I didn't pay attention to this. This year, there are many more injuries than before..." Liu Mang didn't expect the team to activate the roster to increase, and it started from this time!

There have been a lot of injuries this season, often on fast-paced teams.

I found out from James, who was concerned about this aspect, that Liu Mang knew that the league is considering raising the roster from 15 to 16 or 17. The specific details are still being discussed, and the activation roster from 12 to 13 is basically confirmed.

Originally, Nash’s running and shooting brought the league’s tempo up. In addition, the rules of the league have also changed to favor fast-paced and outside offense. Liu Mang’s side has added fire. Now many teams are trying to play fast, mainly teams that are not as good as they are.

This has led to more injuries, and they are often unable to stop during confrontation, just like Ginobili's villain against Marion. It was not intentional, but it is difficult to control emotions when the pace is fast.

From the conversation with James, Liu Mang felt that James has changed a lot, becoming more confident and mature.

James is in the final year of his rookie contract and will enter the ranks of Mesozoic players next season. On the last day of this year, James will only turn 22, but he entered the NBA at the age of 18. Like Kobe, he entered the ranks of Mesozoic players early and will surely enter the ranks of veterans early.

Accompanied by James' more self-confidence and maturity is the improvement of personal ability and team strength.

"LeBron James, ability evaluation 95, offense 96, defense 89, passing 85, rebounding 85, three-pointer 81, mid-range shooting 69, layup 98, speed 92, strength 94... talent skills to be triggered."

The second superstar of the 03 session!
This season, James averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game, becoming the fourth superstar with an efficiency value of over 30 in a single season after McGrady, Liu Mang and Garnett in the new century!
And on the defensive end, James is already close to the top level.

In addition to Chandler's ability evaluation of 83 under defense, the focus is on the defensive evaluation of 92, which is comparable to Kwame Brown.

Peja's side came to James' side, and the performance returned to the feeling of the Kings when Webber was there.

The reason why Peja is rarely interested by teams lies in his characteristics. He is a pure shooter and his rebounding is not good. With a height of 5 meters, he only averages [-] rebounds per game and averages less than [-] assists per game in his career. That means he needs his teammates to help him create shooting opportunities. The Yugoslavs have a bad temper and poor psychological quality.

But the Cavaliers or the Hornets just have teammates who are suitable for Peja. James is too suitable for this kind of teammate who runs well and doesn't need the ball. Moreover, the sixth man of the Cavaliers is Larry Hughes.
After the dinner, Liu Mang sent James back to the hotel, feeling that tomorrow's game...is very exciting!
For the fourth time this season, he played against the 03 generation five heroes. Milicic won once, Bosh was beaten twice, the Pistons have fallen, and the next James, Liu Mang wants to continue to win!
