From today on is the king

Chapter 1394 1393. The end of the half journey (seeking a monthly ticket)

After winning nine consecutive victories, the Eagles had only one day to rest. On the 6th and 7th, the last two games of five consecutive home games came, playing the Pacers and Grizzlies back to back.

The Eagles have entered a period of real fatigue, and players spend more time doing physical therapy than in the past few years. Without Josh Smith and Iguodala, two young players who can be regarded as absolute core training in other teams, the Eagles have no ability to take turns this season.

At the top of the round, Liu Mang felt that Rondo and Granger would not be worse than Iguodala, but in the early stage, these two were really inferior to Iguodala and Josh Smith.

What's more, two generals, Korver and Prince, are now lost.

But the Pacers really don't want to win at all. If the Bucks and Celtics are not too bad, they really want to be the bottom one in the East.

Just when the Hawks were playing the Hornets, the Pacers and the Warriors reached a deal, and the new captain came to Oakland. The Pacers only got a lottery-protected 2007 first-round pick, and sent Stephen Jackson, a first-tier small forward in the league, to the Warriors.

In fact, Big Bird can send Stephen Jackson anywhere, at least in exchange for a high first-round pick, but the old Nelson still has a wide network. After the old Nelson promised to make the playoffs, Big Bird sent Stephen Jackson to help the Warriors improve their lineup.

And the Pacers... there is only one unsold O'Neal left.

Jermaine O'Neal averaged just 20 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, and averaged 2.9 blocks per game quite coquettishly. At the age of 29, he is still at his theoretical peak.

But the Pacers didn't want him for a long time, and they kept selling him, but the return that Big Bird wanted was too high to be traded.

After all, this is the Pacers' only top star.

After a day off on the 5th, the Eagles ushered in a game against the Pacers on the 6th.

There is no big problem. The Pacers have no desire to win at all. They have only 15 wins and 38 losses. They don't want so much.

109 to 99, the Eagles beat the Pacers to get the team's first 10-game winning streak this season.

In addition to the Hawks, 4 teams have won at least 10 consecutive victories this season, namely the Mavericks' 14 consecutive victories, the Bulls' 12 consecutive victories, the Cavaliers' 11 consecutive victories, and the Suns' 10 consecutive victories. The Eagles have become the fifth team to win 10 consecutive victories this season.

But in the game against the Pacers, the Eagles clearly showed a feeling of fatigue. Rondo and Gortat encountered such a horrible schedule in January and February in their rookie season. Recently, they seemed to have entered the rookie wall.

Thinking of the past three years, the Eagles have had such a schedule, and each season has at least 68 wins in this schedule...the two of them can understand why they have a record of 36 wins and 15 losses this season, but the fans criticize them for their poor record...

Finally, on February 2th, in the last game of this recent wave of 7 days and 9 games, when they played against the Grizzlies, the Eagles were upset.

Playing the Grizzlies led by Caron Butler, even Liu Mang scored 31 points in the first half, but his shooting collapsed in the second half.

It wasn't that Liu Mang's physical fitness was affected, but that his teammates couldn't make long-range shots. The Grizzlies started to defend the basket on the inside in the second half, and attacked Liu Mang frantically from the outside. Liu Mang made 17 of 12 shots in the first half and scored 31 points extremely efficiently, but only 18 of 5 in the second half.

If you want to score high points, you need your teammates to have enough restraint.

Liu Mang made 35 of 17 shots from the field and his overall shooting percentage looked pretty good. He scored 47 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. He scored the 16th 40+ this season, ranking first in the league, but once again became the leader of the empty-cut group. The Eagles ended their 93-game winning streak by the Grizzlies 101-10.

……

Blue sky, white clouds, clear sky...

Liu Mang looked at the clouds outside the window of the plane, and muttered in his mouth: "My god..."

Just after 9 days and 7 games, on the morning of the 8th, the Eagles will travel long distances to Oklahoma again. On the 9th, 11th, and 13th, 5 games in 3 days will come again, and it will be a three-way trip.

The key is the last game against the Bulls...or away...

Looking at the schedule, Liu Mang has never looked forward to the All-Star Weekend so much.

Seeing the match schedule, Liu Mang could only sigh: "Oh...forget it, let's torture CP3 first, so as to ease my unhappy mood."

Liu Wei saw the hard work of his teammates, they have won ten consecutive victories, and no one wants to lose.

But it's true that he can't keep up. Caron Butler can rush in and dunk, so what else can Liu Mang do?

I definitely can't blame my teammates, nor can I blame my playing too well in the past three years, winning championships every year.

"Too many champions, it's really lonely!" Liu Mang couldn't help but sighed up to the sky.

On the plane, this is really a long sigh.

Mai Di, who was sitting next to Liu Mang, watched Liu Mang start to convulse again. He didn't know what he was talking about. He rolled his eyes and closed his eyes to sleep.

Behind Liu Mang, Gortat, who carefully helped Liu Mang hold the water glass, felt that his boss might need to see a doctor...

……

With 14 wins and 39 losses, Liu Mang is very satisfied with the record of the Hornets, which is second to last in the Western Conference, second only to the Timberwolves.

With such a record, it is very likely that he can get the top three picks.

Paul has only played 30 games this season, and his injuries have stopped, which is quite miserable. This time Paul missed the game again.

But for Liu Mang, when the team is in a period of fatigue, meeting the Hornets, the bottom three teams in the league, is like being offered a pillow when you want to sleep...

Playing against the Hornets is even easier than the Pacers. You don't need to think about tactics at all. Liu Mang throws the ball as soon as he receives it.

全场打了41分钟，37投17中，其中三分球20中7，罚球11中9，刘莽轻松砍下50分8板5助攻3抢断3盖帽的数据，的数据，帮助老鹰队以122比105轻松击败黄蜂队，将战绩提升到了37胜16负。

Paul complained to Liu Mang after the game: "Boss Ace, I really want to go back to New Orleans. There are problems in this city. I have been unlucky since I came here..."

Liu Mang replied like this: "Chris, you have to be patient. When you choose Durant in the summer, your good days will come."

The inexperienced Chris Paul saw Liu Mang's admiration for the big pitcher, and he also looked forward to it: "Boss Ace's vision is not wrong. He wanted us to win Stojakovic and Chandler last year. Now these two are playing so well in the Cavaliers..."

……

On February 2th, it has entered mid-February, spring is here, and everything is recovering...but Toronto is still ice and snow, and it seems to have a feeling of "spring cold".

In Toronto, which is already cold, basketball fans here feel another cold snap.

Ace Liu is here again!

"No, I'm not afraid at all...I'm not surprised by what kind of performance Ace can play. Since I entered the NBA, he has been the strongest player in the world. My opponent is Kwame, not Ace..." Milicic seemed to have accepted the fact that Liu Mang had been abused in the interview...

In general, Milicic's heart is still very fragile, but the Raptors have been taking good care of him, so that he can gradually grow to where he is today.

People with a fragile heart are often prone to accept their fate. Milicic is like this. He no longer has expectations for defeating Liu Mang.

Every time I thought I had a chance, the last time was worse than the last time.

That being the case, Milicic felt that it would be good not to look forward to it.

Milicic is the absolute core of the Raptors and the boss of the team, but... he is not suitable to be the boss at all.

And Richard Jefferson and contemporary Jordan also don't have the temperament of the boss, and they are not even as strong as Milicic's domineering degree in the interior.

When Milicic said such words, Raptors fans felt his sense of despair, let alone his teammates.

On February 2, the second game of the Eagles' three-game streak, they came to the Canadian Airline Center Stadium to challenge the Raptors away.

Speaking of this game, the Eagles played no better than the Grizzlies and Hornets before. They were in a bad state, but the Raptors were even worse!
The Raptors were in a downturn collectively, and the Eagles were also in a downturn. The two teams contributed a feast of iron fighting...

Liu Mang didn't feel good today, and was surrounded by the Raptors infinitely, but just like that, the rest of the Eagles couldn't make shots, and they kept hitting the iron.

But the Eagles are already like this, and the Raptors have more irons...

The Eagles only scored 89 points, but the Raptors only scored 81 points, Liu Mang scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, McGrady scored 13 points and 6 assists, and Marion scored 20 points. The Hawks scored in double figures with the highest score of only 20, but finally won...

After the game, the domestic media gave the headline of the game as "The rookie chicken pecks each other, the old chicken wins".

Although it is a derogatory title, when Liu Mang saw the news, he felt very appropriate...

……

……

"Stern finally did what a human should do!" Liu Mang sighed.

"Ace, don't go out and talk nonsense about this, or the old man will definitely target you if he finds out." Battier warned.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know, Mr. President." Liu Mang joked.

Before the All-Star Weekend this season, the Eagles played 55 games, which is about the same as other teams. Most teams played 53 to 55 games before the All-Star Weekend.

38 wins and 16 losses. Finally, relying on the recent record of 12 wins and 1 loss, the Eagles have improved their record, and have the possibility of hitting 55 wins or even hitting 60 wins.

刘莽看着自己32.3分8.3板2.7助攻2.3盖帽1.3抢断的场均数据，还有现在的战绩，心情美美哒。

He played so poorly yesterday that he won. Liu Mang thought he would interrupt his winning streak against Milicic, but he didn't expect that he could win like that.

Winning a game like that, a game won by pure luck, of course makes people happy, good luck always makes people happy.

What made Liu Mang even more happy was that his teammates were in high spirits after they came to Chicago today!

The reason is simple... All-Star Weekend is coming!
On February 2, the NBA officially announced the All-Star bench lineup.

There were a lot of problems in this year's All-Star substitute selection, which delayed the announcement of the All-Star substitute lineup.

Ray Allen's team change and Boozer's injury made the Western All-Star lineup make a lot of adjustments after they were selected.

Mainly discussing, Ray Allen, who was voted by the coaches before, after changing teams, does the previous choice count?
The coaches chose the All-Star substitute, except that when they selected Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they chose him as an All-Star substitute, which was basically a combination of data + record + coach impression.

Finally, with two days left before the All-Star weekend, the NBA officially announced the All-Star bench lineup, confirming that Ray Allen will still be a member of the All-Star bench lineup after changing teams to the Jazz.

In the West, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Josh Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Smith and Carlos Boozer were selected as the All-Star bench.

Due to Boozer's injury, he could not participate in the All-Star Weekend, and the Jazz's Mehmet Okur replaced Boozer as the All-Star.

The reason why the Eagles are excited here is that in addition to playing one more game, they can have a seven-day rest, and there is also the Eastern All-Star bench lineup!
Kwame Brown and Marion were selected to the All-Star bench together!

Originally, only Kwame Brown was selected.

The original Eastern Conference All-Star bench was Gilbert Arenas, Vince Carter, Joe Johnson, Darko Milicic, Chris Bosh, Kwame Brown, and Tyson Chandler.

However, due to Chris Bosh's chest injury, he was unable to participate in this All-Star Game. David Stern designated Marion to replace Bosh as an All-Star substitute.

Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown were selected for the All-Star Game together!

The recent record has been good. In the last 21 days, the Eagles have won 12 wins and 1 loss. Now the two big insiders have been selected as All-Star substitutes, and said that they invited guests to Las Vegas to relax during the All-Star Weekend. The players are naturally very happy.

Physical fatigue often leads to more mental fatigue, but the reduction of mental fatigue can actually make the body more excited to a certain extent.

After receiving positive stimulation, the Eagles players discovered that they have played very well recently!

When other teams, including the Mavericks, started to lose in the middle of the season, they bucked the trend and got a record of 12 wins and 1 loss. From the second half of January to the beginning of February, their record was first in the league!
Although the overall record is only fifth in the league...but that doesn't matter.

After relieving their mental exhaustion, the Eagles players are ready to go. In the last game before the All-Star Weekend, they want to have a good half-season end!
