From today on is the king

Chapter 136 136. Complacency is not a good thing

A woman's intuition is really accurate!
Liu Mang just said that he came to borrow a piece of clothing when he was drunk, and they all guessed that he must have come at night, and the two of Liu Mang's character are very clear, and they guessed everything!
Sadly enduring the teasing laughter of beauties, big and small, Liu Mang went to play the game in grief and indignation.

……

The Nuggets, just a week ago, the Eagles easily defeated them in the away game. This time the Nuggets came to the away game, of course they want to get back a victory.

Winning or not is one thing. The goal of the Nuggets this year is to play badly, but the players have to find their way back.

For example, Tim Hardaway, a veteran superstar who taught Liu Mang a lesson last time, wanted to teach Liu Mang a lesson this time, but suddenly found that this rookie has improved again!

When playing for the Nuggets before, Liu Mang's personal ability was close to starting with the addition of the bench gangster, but his overall strength has not yet reached the starting point. Now after the addition of the bench gangster at level 5, his personal ability has reached 70 points, the average level of the NBA starter.

Although the difference from 68 to 70 is not as big as the qualitative change from 94 to 95 from top stars to superstars, the changes are also obvious.

There is not much suspense in this game. The Eagles, who have had ample rest time after consecutive away games, have gone all out from the beginning, wanting to quickly resolve this game and win a little more rest for the second back-to-back game.

Raheem and Jason Terry went wild at the beginning. They scored 25 points together in the first quarter. With the team's excellent defense in the first quarter, they had an absolute advantage of 29 to 11 in the first quarter.

Liu Mang didn't have much playing time in this game, and soon entered garbage time, scoring 19 points on 8-of-4 shooting in 11 minutes.

The Eagles easily won the game 103-89.

……

……

The record has become 15 wins and 6 losses, and the Eagles unknowingly have the same record as the Pistons!
Now No. 16 in the East is the Nets, and there is not much difference from the Eagles. The Nets rank No. 5 in the East with [-] wins and [-] losses, largely due to the ease of the schedule.

The Eagles and Pistons are now fourth and second, which really surprised the fans. Both are 15 wins and 6 losses. The Eagles were forced to only take fourth because of the outcome of the two sides' fights, but their record is much better than the third Celtics.

Especially for the Eagles, the West's five-game streak has a record of 4 wins and 1 loss. If it weren't for the previous three-game losing streak due to the suspension, it is very likely to occupy the first place in the East!

Speaking of the Celtics, they didn't even think that they would be third in the East lying down, and they were still stable. The 76ers were struggling, and now the winning percentage has just reached 11%, 11 wins and 13 losses.
Of course, the difference between the East and the West is still quite large. The Kings have won 11 consecutive victories, and the record of 19 wins and 2 losses is far ahead. This rhythm is rushing to 60 wins.

Sometimes the record is too good, which is not a very good thing for a young team. For example, the current Eagles, after defeating the Lakers and coming back to defeat the Nuggets, after winning five of the last six games, there is an inexplicably impetuous and arrogant atmosphere.

On December 12, the Hawks ushered in back-to-back games against the Knicks for the second time this season.

The last time the Hawks defeated the Knicks at home, and it was quite easy. Alan Houston, the strongest player on the Knicks side, was driven to death by Liu Mang.

This time the Eagles didn't think the Knicks would be their opponents. They felt that they could easily win the game, and everyone was very easy.

The Eagles are easy to fight here, but it is not easy with madmen Sprewell and Alan Houston, but come desperately!I want to risk my life to avenge the last time.

To be honest, the gap between teams in the East is not as big as imagined. The teams on the fringes of the playoffs are not very different from the teams in the playoffs. The overall lineup is not particularly strong. Superstars in the East are very rare. Most of them were sent to the West by Jordan in the past ten years.

The difference in the record of the Eastern Conference teams lies in the cooperation of the coach, the team's goals, and the lineup.

The Eagles have played so well this year. Many experts have analyzed that it is because of the new coach and the luck that Liu Mang was selected as the glue of the team. The deepest impression Liu Mang gave was that his performance completely surpassed his seemingly talented performance. The Eagles used a better team defense and a more special and innovative offensive routine. They were very stable when they beat weak teams.

But the young team is still too young, and they started to get arrogant!
At seven o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

After the start of the game, the two teams entered the state very quickly. The Eagles felt hot and started a wave of 17 to 11. In terms of hard power, the Eagles are in good shape now, with excellent running-in and better tactical discipline. They are indeed better than the Knicks.

But after getting a little ahead, seeing that the opponent is such a weak team that is enough to make it to the playoffs, I started to be careless.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Eagles actually relaxed the defense they depended on for survival!The Knicks seized the opportunity, the madman and the CIC king counterattacked continuously, playing a wave of 7-0, and at the end of the first quarter they took a 26-25 lead by one point.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mang, who stood up on the bench, came up to get some points by making fouls and bit the score tightly. However, the atmosphere of this team is contagious. After Liu Mang came up, he also slackened on the defensive end along with other teammates.

Alan Houston was already ready to fight Liu Mang, a shameless guy, and played very aggressively. He continued to catch and shoot after the screen was quite decisive. After Liu Mang felt a little cold in the second half of the second quarter, Alan Houston scored consecutively and completely suppressed Liu Mang.

At the end of the half, the Knicks successfully overtook the score, leading the Hawks by 52 points 47 to 5.

In this regard, the Knicks can't hold back!
After the start of the second half, the situation of the Eagles can be described as a collapse, and the third quarter collapsed!
The Eagles always want to rely on offense to recover the score. The mentality of underestimating the opponent makes them explode on the defensive end. When there is no defensive counterattack, the outside shooting is not so accurate, and the Eagles' offensive end collapses!
The Knicks quickly opened up the score in the third quarter!At the end of the three quarters, the Knicks led the Hawks by 81 points 63 to 18!
The Eagles struggled a bit in the final quarter, but the front has been loose, and it is too difficult to tighten up at the critical moment!The Eagles are not a ridiculously strong super team like the Lakers and Kings, and they have no chance to close the point difference.

In the end, the Eagles swallowed the bitter pill at home, and were avenged by the Knicks at home 89 to 102!

……

"bang"

Liu Mang slammed his fist on the locker room cabinet, thinking of the Knicks players celebrating arrogantly after the game, he wanted to hit someone!

Yes, losing is my own problem. The opponent feels good, and I am not serious. I deserve it if I lose, but I am still very angry!

Liu Mang knew, how could he not lose in the NBA?The Invincible Bulls have lost ten games in the regular season, and the future deputy squad leader, the Lakers, will bloodbath the league's No. [-] Chinese New Year every year. The Eagles are not a super strong team, and there will definitely be many games to lose.

As a rookie, I'm still not so used to it.

I don't want to lose!
"Ding... Due to the host's inner desire, the system issued a mission: Revenge on Madison."

"Revenge on Madison: In the next away game against the Knicks, lead the team to bloodbath Madison, task reward: an intermediate steal card, task failure reward: dance in Times Square."

"Intermediate stealing card: 20.00% chance to copy the target's skills, and the success rate of level 5 skills is doubled."

"..." Liu Mang's expression became dull all of a sudden.

Hey!My buddies get angry, what are you doing!
