From today on is the king

Chapter 1361. 1360. God's Fortune Teller
Liu Mang lost the Christmas battle for the first time!
Counting this time, Liu Mang played a total of 5 Christmas games, and lost for the first time in the Christmas game!

Liu Mang's shooting rate was not bad, 28 of 13 shots, but he couldn't keep throwing. Once he made a good shot, the opponent's defensive center of gravity shifted towards him. Kobe blocked the outside line, and others defended Liu Mang inside.

Moreover, the performance of the main scorer of the Eagles is not bad. When Liu Mang passes the ball to McGrady or Jason Terry, the final success rate is good.

And the Eagles shot 97 times, more than the Lakers' 89 times.

But the Lakers' success rate is too high!

A certain No. 24 who shot inaccurately did not continue to shoot stubbornly, but he couldn't let it go!A couple of open spots in the second quarter could really make it.

The first No. 24 matchup ended with No. 24 winning in the West!
Liu Mang scored 40+ points for the fifth time this season and the 60th time in his career, but unfortunately lost the victory.

……

……

"Ace, don't be unhappy, from another perspective, isn't this a good thing?" Levia comforted.

"yes……"

Liu Mang could only think so.

The Mavericks' tyrannical regular season this season is expected.

No matter how much the Suns improve in the future, it will be difficult for them to break out of the West. The Spurs...they have a small ball market and the helplessness of the boss.

But the Lakers...

The Eagles won three consecutive championships and accidentally forced out a behemoth!
Originally, after Yao Ming entered his peak period, the drug-addicted combination was difficult to deal with, and there was an extra Gasol... The small-ball style of play was simply untenable on their side. There were two tall towers horizontally on the inside, and powerful role players such as Wang Zhizhi, Odom, and Mark Jackson should not be underestimated.

Zen Master has been good at avoiding the weakness of the point guard position since the time of the Bulls dynasty. When the Bulls won their first three consecutive championships, the main point guard was John Paxson, who was 31 to 33 years old.

"The future is worrying..."

Liu Mang put his laptop aside and fell asleep with his arms around Levia, who had teeth marks on his neck and chest. He was 18 wins and 11 losses. There are two more games this month, the Miami Heat on the 28th and the Nets on the 30th. In the last two games of the five-game winning streak, the number of wins must be increased to 2006 before the end of 20.

Moreover, you cannot lose three times in a row!

Since December 2002, 12, the Eagles have maintained a record of no three-game losing streak for 22 consecutive days. Liu Mang still wants to keep it going.

……

The Eagles faced the Mavericks and the Lakers and suffered a two-game losing streak. For non-Hawks fans, this is simply great news.

The Eagles finally lost their previous dominance!
Being swept by the Mavericks in the regular season and not being killed by the Lakers made non-Hawks fans excited.

In other words, the Mavericks and the Lakers in the West can be stronger than the Eagles led by the in-form Mihawk in terms of overall strength, which makes most fans very happy.

It is true that fans are happy to see the birth of the dynasty, but after the dynasty is born, they want to see a hero who can come out and kill the dynasty team.

The fans were still very excited to watch the game, Liu Mang's runaway, Kobe's rationality, Yao Ming's dominance at the basket, Gasol's dreamy high position support, McGrady's all-roundness...

The main thing is that the Lakers won!
And the Eagles are very likely to suffer a three-game losing streak for the first time in four seasons, which makes the fans even more excited!
but……

God doesn't seem to want to see the Eagles' record of no three-game losing streak broken.

On December 2006, 12, the Eagles returned to Atlanta, prepared to rest for one night, trained tomorrow, and prepared for the Heat’s game in Miami on the 26th the day after tomorrow. The Heat’s official website announced that Dwyane Wade’s cruciate ligament was torn and needed surgery.

Then Sports Illustrated broke the news that Wade underwent cruciate ligament repair surgery, that is, minimally invasive surgery. Wade was reimbursed for the season, and the sweet combination was shattered!
Stoudemire is S, Wade is W, the Sway combination, the sweet combination, that is, the sweet combination.

This nickname is in line with the performance of the combination of Wade and Stoudemire. Wade averaged 27 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and Stoudemire averaged 25 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. The two worked together to bring the Heat to the fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The record of 19 wins and 13 losses is quite sweet, especially Stoudemire, who was not expected to recover his health.

After the Eagles lost in the Christmas game and suffered a two-game losing streak, Heat fans are waiting, waiting for the Eagles to beat the Eagles when they play in Miami and reach the third place in the Eastern Conference.

However, Wade sprained his foot during the game against the Rockets before. The foot problem was not serious. When he sprained his foot and fell down, he injured his knee.

The biggest problem is Wade's injured left knee. Most of the meniscus was removed in college, so the cruciate ligament damage is more difficult to treat conservatively than ordinary players.

……

"Wade is reimbursed." Jason - Terry finished with a sigh.

"Well, I saw it when I got home yesterday." Liu Mang also sighed.

Wade's reimbursement came earlier than Liu Mang's impression!
刘莽印象中，韦德职业生涯前期确实有过一段长达10个月的伤病期，不过是2007年的2月份到2008年12月份，06-07赛季和07-08赛季都打了差不多50场比赛，耽搁得不是太多。

But because the squeeze has been too severe in the past two years, Pat Riley still does not believe in evil this season and wants to continue to attack, and wants to do something when the Eagles are weak.

Wade did have a super performance, 27+7+8, which is even more irritable than James.

After only playing 32 games, Wade was reimbursed early. It is estimated that the recovery period and rehabilitation will take eight months. With the recovery training, it is estimated that he can catch up with the training camp next season. He will definitely not be able to return this season.

"Hey, we are professional players, maybe we will be seriously injured one day, Ace, you have to pay attention, if you stimulate the opponent, remember to run away early, so as not to be beaten." Jason Terry said seriously.

"Um... I see..." Liu Mang thought of the number 21 who was on the Bulls...

Jason - Terry actually taught him to fight and retreat?Liu Mang didn't expect it.

Liu Mang thinks about it, Jason Terry seems to be 30 years old in September, and he is about to reach his thirties. He has matured a lot psychologically, and it is time to be sentimental.

Many small guards have retired at Jason Terry's age.

Liu Mang was also sentimental. At first he thought, should he help Wade heal?

After thinking about it, Liu Mang decided not to. Although there are 7 intermediate injury potions and one high-level injury potion in the past two years, the high-level wound potion is for that guy who doesn't care about benevolence at all.

Moreover, Wade will not change his style of play. With his left knee without a meniscus, he has been playing as before after healed. It will be a matter of time before he will be reimbursed again. Maybe he will not change his style of play because of the success of the minimally invasive surgery.

Isn’t that the case with Carter, who will turn 30 next month, but apart from being killed by the Eagles in the playoffs at the beginning, he thought about working hard, but it’s the same again. The new version of "Jordan Pippen combination" is still thinking about the playoffs, and it doesn’t have the spirit of wanting to fight together in the first two years.

Liu Mang can heal Wade's torn cruciate ligament, but what if it breaks later?It was disconnected and connected, and it was cured, and it was not the same as before...

Wade continued his peak period until 2012 by changing his style of play. Liu Mang thinks it is better not to change this point. I have seen enough of Wade who is the strongest first step. Look at the pretty boy in CIC, it seems to be good...

……

On the 27th, the Eagles conducted training against the Heat in Atlanta, but when it comes to targeting, they really don't know how to target them. The Heat without Wade... have no idea what they can do.

After training on the afternoon of the 27th, the Eagles came to Miami on the south coast. On the 28th, they suddenly received new news that Stoudemire would not play today...

The reason given by the Heat was Stoudemire's sore right knee...

But in the evening, when Liu Mang and his teammates entered the court at the American Airlines Center after warming up together, he saw Stoudemire's ability evaluation in a suit... obviously there was no injury!
"Amare Stoudemire, ability evaluation 93, offense 97, defense 79, three-pointer 61, mid-range shooting 88, layup 98, speed 85, strength 90..."

"What is Shen Suanzi thinking? Isn't he the kind of head coach who doesn't feel happy if he doesn't cripple players?" Liu Mang wondered.

At this time, Stoudemire, who was wearing a suit, was also very confused and looked at the head coach who was on the bench in front of him. He didn't know where he was injured.

Pat Riley was helpless. Before Wade was injured, of course he wanted a dead grass and sweet combination for the record, but Wade has been reimbursed. What can the remaining Stoudemire do?

Barely making the playoffs?
It's better to smash it as soon as possible!

Although he is a manager who picks up the skin, he is not a fool. Stoudemire also has potential injuries. The team that plays tough defense simply let Stoudemire rest and give him a high pick. The 2007 and 2009 picks they gave to the Suns were the top five picks. It happened that 2007 was the year of the draft, so they could just put it badly.

In the original time and space, they still had O'Neal this season. Although O'Neal was in a state of collapse, he only had an advantage against the insiders in the West and Kwame Brown, Milicic and others.

But this time is different. The Bulls, Cavaliers, Eagles, and Raptors are all very strong. After Wade is reimbursed, whether the Heat can make the playoffs is a problem.

Therefore, after Wade was reimbursed, the Heat's management discussed for a few days, and decided to put it badly!
Stoudemire asked him to check the statistics when he was playing against a weak team. If he was an offensive opponent against a strong team, he would let Stoudemire play.

The point is not to win!
Pat Riley is extremely jealous of Oden!
At the beginning of this month, Oden led Ohio State University to the South Coast to play the University of Florida. Facing the inside twin towers of Al Horford and Joakim Noah, Oden came off the bench and scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks in 5 minutes of playing time.

If you can get Oden, a super center, with Stoudemire, you don't know what will happen to Wade after he comes back, but it won't be too bad...

Pat Riley is dreaming again...

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Eagles' away game against the Heat began.

Without the sweet combination, the strength of the Heat...

The injured Jason Williams, Antoine Walker who has lost his fighting spirit, Payton who is sadly considering retiring, Kapono and the old Eddie Jones have all become the main players. The best player is Haslem, who is rated at 80 at the peak ability...

The Hawks played the Heat like a badass amateur team.

But today Liu Mang's style of play has changed.

Don't hold the ball anymore, catch the ball and shoot!

Now that Liu Mang has a new idea, he doesn't have to think too much about organizational issues, just throw it away!
McGrady is responsible for organizing the offense in the starting lineup, and Rondo is responsible for organizing the offense when playing with the substitutes.

Let McGrady and Ron Duoduo hold the ball, and when the ball comes to him, he can just throw it!
In this way, is it possible for Rondo to improve faster? Liu Wei is not sure if McGrady will have more opportunities to touch the ball because Liu Mang is not holding the ball.

but……

That's what Liu Mang did!

Just shoot!
Don't think so much, focus on shooting, and when Rondo, Granger, and Jason Terry are on the court, they won't be at a loss because they don't have the ball in their hands.

The key is that Liu Mang's teammates will not feel unaccustomed to playing like this, but are very used to it.

then……

In the low pressure of the Miami fans, Liu Mang faced the extremely weak Heat team. In 31 minutes of playing time, he made 30 of 17 shots, 15 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 52 points!
Seeing that no one can compete with Liu Mang, what can Heat fans do?They returned to the state before the championship with the Eagles, cheers for Liu Mang!
Liu Mang posted his blessings on Wade on Facebook yesterday, which made Miami fans very happy.

There is no suspense. Liu Mang scored 52 points. McGrady also scored 27 points and 8 assists. Rondo came off the bench for 19 minutes and scored 2 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. The Eagles did not feel any obstacles. After three quarters, they led by 27 points.

In the end, the Eagles beat the Heat 129 to 91, 38 points, avoiding a three-game losing streak.

Liu Mang has set a goal. When it seems unreliable to cooperate with the whole team, he simply turns himself into a role player!
