From today on is the king

Chapter 1493 Chapter 1492. The wonderful feeling of being caught in the middle

Last summer, O'Neal worked hard to carry out reasonable and effective weight loss training according to Thomas Carter's guidance, just for this year...

At the beginning of the season, O'Neal felt that his physical condition was much better than at the beginning of last season. Thomas Carter's training plan was very different from Pat Riley's devil training camp. It was not to drain O'Neal's body, but to help him adjust his body and continue his state.

O'Neal is full of ambitions and is ready to bully the legendary center with the strongest single defense in the league in the opening game.

It was true that he was bullied twice, but... O'Neill didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of a rookie!
"Despicable and shameless Eagles! There is a way to let that high school student come out one-on-one! Damn high school students know how to hide behind giants, shameless..."

Nash listened to the fat man next to him chanting non-stop, and was not in the mood to comfort him.

Instead of changing to a positional battle lineup, the running and bombing lineup is not good enough to run all the time. Instead, change to a positional battle lineup. The opponent has a special restraint lineup.

The feeling that the other party is always one step ahead of them!

They beat the Hawks once last year by relying on this change of tactics, but this year the Hawks are ready.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Suns collapsed...

Taking advantage of O'Neal's presence, the Eagles played a wave of 13 to 4, and suddenly opened the point difference to 15 points.

奥尼尔打了18分钟，8投2中拿到6分5板……

This... set a new low for the first game of O'Neal's career in all seasons...

When the fans in front of the TV saw O'Neal, the first thing they felt was not how well Gasol defended, but... the sense of sight.

刘莽全场打了30分钟，17投7中，其中三分6中2，罚球7中6，拿到22分4板，但是有9次助攻！
Rondo is really not greedy for those assists. He only had 28 assists in 4 minutes of playing, and more than half of Liu Mang's assists were due to Rondo.

Rondo wanted to cry watching the 6 points in the first quarter and 9 points in the game...

9分7板4助攻的隆多，22分4板9助攻的刘莽，21分的贾森-特里和17+5+5的麦迪, 加上其他队友一起和太阳队血战三节比赛后，终于在第四节抓住机会，一举将分差拉开。

In the end, the Eagles defeated the Suns 117-106 at home and won their first victory of the new season!
……

The Suns felt that the Eagles formed a lineup aimed at them. A certain team in the West watched the game in the locker room, and a player with the highest level in the league also felt that he was being targeted.

After the game between the Hawks and the Suns, and before the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers, fans were talking about the unexpected effect of the Hawks' fan-like lineup this year.

Brad Miller and Tracy McGrady or Liu Mang can play Princeton. The Eagles originally played Princeton, but now they have a center who is better than Rasheed Wallace, who was still at the top.

O'Neal is better offensively than Gasol, he shoots more accurately and moves better defensively.

Kwame Brown and Marion have worked hard as always, and the Hawks' starting lineup's running and bombing style can compete with the Suns' running and bombing.

Except Scola and Gortat did not get the chance to play in the first game, the other five insiders all showed their own characteristics.

The pre-season game is mainly based on running tactics. It is hard to see the performance when there is a real strong confrontation, but it is seen today!
Just like Bill Simmons' analysis of the Eagles, the Eagles want to create an inside group that can adapt to any game1
But after all, it is only the first game. It will take time to verify whether it can really run in so smoothly. After all, the Suns' defense is still not valued by people, even if the Suns defended well in the playoffs last season.

But the Eagles really have that idea, which has shocked many fans!

This is simply a whimsical thing. No team will ever want to build an inside line that can adapt to all opponents, and the Eagles already have it in terms of hardware!

The five major insiders that the Eagles played today have their own characteristics. The combination of the two is quite wonderful, and there are two more on the bench!

Eagles fans couldn't think of it either. They thought that a fat man was selected in the draft. They thought it was Price who was too drunk, but they didn't expect it to be used for this!

Even if Gasol can only play four games a year, but to have such an effect, the 28th pick in the first round is worth it!

……

……

Listening to Jason Terry and Mason rapping and breaking their heads after drinking too much, Liu Mang patted Gasol on the back very happy, and his expectations were not wasted!
After playing the Suns, the Eagles had three days to rest and played the second game on the 31st.

After winning the opening game, the coaching staff had to watch the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers. Both teams were imaginary opponents of the coaching staff. The players and the coaching staff rarely agreed to let them have fun that night after the game. After all, they played well on the first day.

The Eagles started the season with an easy schedule, but the schedule tightened in the last three months.

11月、12月、明年1月，分别是14场、14场、15场比赛，2月份11场比赛也还好，但三月份的17场和4月份的9场比赛就很紧了，特别是四月份17天9场比赛。

The Eagles have two games at the end of October, on the 10th and 27st.

However, this kind of schedule is better for the Eagles in the middle of the season, but it will be more difficult for the Eagles to break the record in March and April than before.

Liu Mang has also seen the schedules of other teams. Strong teams all have a characteristic. The second half of the season is relatively tighter than the first half of the season.

Especially the Lakers, Cavaliers, and Bulls. Obviously, these three teams have 4 games in April, all of which are played on the 10th regular season curtain call.

Liu Wei guessed that the league didn't want to see a situation where the historical record of wins was broken all the time. After all, it was more than 69 years since the Bulls broke the Lakers' 20 wins. If it was broken every few years, such a record would not seem so great.

The word great is very important to the NBA executives. David Stern doesn't want to mess up the word "creating greatness" that the NBA has always had. He doesn't like making the NBA a joke.

Although the lack of a schedule like loosening in the front, loosening in the middle, and loosening in the middle will make the team more troublesome in the second half of the season, Liu Wei doesn't feel bad. Everyone is like this, but he benefits.

The first record in history is maintained by Liu Mang and his team. Of course, he hopes that it will never be broken. It is best to break it by himself to raise the first record in history to a higher level!

Liu Mang took out his notebook and looked at the upcoming schedule. On the 31st, he will play the Pistons. The first six games of next month will be the Nets, Celtics, Bobcats, Supersonics, Bucks, and Wizards. The next formidable opponent will be the Spurs until November 11th...

Then came the Timberwolves, Heat, Bucks, Kings, 76ers... until the Mavericks at home on the 28th and the Bulls away on the 30th, there was another wave of easy schedule.

The next month is quite easy. There are weak teams that can adjust their tactics, and then play against the Spurs to test.

Except for the Bobcats, Wizards, and Pistons who may have playoff strength, Liu Mang thinks that the other weak teams are not a big problem. The two major pitchers that the Supersonics rely on for survival are gone. The Celtics are expected to continue to be poor. There may be a trade, but it hasn’t happened yet. The Heat are sure to be poor, and the Nets...

The next 15 games will be the key to setting the tone for the team's new season!

……

……

On the day of the opening game, the Lakers and the Cavaliers played the opening game after the Eagles, and the Lakers were lore at home...

99 to 97, relying on Billups' three-pointer at the buzzer, the Cavaliers beat the Lakers away to win the opening game!
After a defensive battle and overtime, in the last three seconds of overtime, James gave the ball to Billups, Billups took a step after receiving the ball, hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, and beat the Lakers!
After an overtime, both sides did not score more than [-] points, which shows how well the defense of the two teams is doing.

Liu Mang had a few drinks with his teammates when Levia drove to pick him up, and he knew that the Cavaliers actually won the away game!
He still thought that Billups' field control would conflict with James' field control, just as Billups and Garnett could not cooperate.

After Liu Mang got home, he checked the news and saw that Billups threw 11 three-pointers...

JR-Smith, who has a passing brain and is easy to defend and has the strength of the second defense, has a sense of sight!Or the ultimate enhanced version of Snow!
It’s true that Billups’s shooting choices are terrible, and his overall shooting percentage is low, but Billups has always been very strong in three-pointers. His career so far has a 30.00% three-point shooting percentage of 1.9. He has averaged [-] three-pointers per game so far in his career.

In this way, Liu Mang feels that Billups' 6100 million is too worthwhile for the Cavaliers!Billups maintained a very good state in the 2010-2011 season, and did not avalanche until the Achilles tendon ruptured in the 2011-2012 season.

With Anthony's black hole of ball possession, he can reach the Western Conference Finals together. With James, Billups also cooperates very well. Billups likes to shoot three-pointers, and the core of the team dare not shoot him at critical moments!
I thought the opponents were all in the West, and only the Bulls in the East needed attention. I didn't expect the Magic and Cavaliers to be not bad either.

Liu Mang thought that the NBA would be made into a group of superstars. Only the West would have opponents. As a result, the East also had unexpected opponents.

On top of that, the Raptors have another year of growth for Milicic and the acquisition of Sharad Lewis...

"Those guys from the mid-90s are in front, and the guys from the 03 generation are chasing behind. It feels like being caught in the middle...it's really good!"
