From today on is the king

Chapter 1498 1497. Crazy Spurs Strike!

On the second day of defeating the Sonics, back to back, the Eagles coaching staff went beyond the expectations of the players and started a rotation!

The season has only played six games, and the coaching staff has started to rest!Even Liu Mang didn't expect this.

Coach Kruger has no choice!
Who would have thought that they would make it to the finals last year? The new players don't matter, the key is McGrady!
McGrady has played too hard this season. The average playing time is only 32 minutes per game. Yes, but the enthusiasm on the defensive end can catch up with when he was 25 or 28 years old. After all, McGrady is 30 years old. Look at Francis’ physical decline at the age of 2011, and his physical fitness has declined rapidly... The coaching staff is still very worried. McGrady’s contract expires in [-]. The team is currently developing in a good direction. Saving it is the best adjustment.

就如马刺队那边，邓肯的出场时间从上赛季的场均38分钟，骤减到场均31分钟，数据也从20+10下滑到了场均17分11板1.9盖帽。

The Spurs chose to use Duncan this season by reducing Duncan's playing time and improving Duncan's efficiency.

The biggest change for the Spurs is to increase the playing time of the substitutes and transfer the core of the offense from Duncan to Parker. The effect is very good. The Spurs started their 7-game winning streak.

Good experience has to be learned, like the Spurs to protect Duncan by reducing playing time. Coach Kruger of the Eagles thinks that is not enough, so he simply does not let McGrady play back-to-back.

In addition to McGrady, Kwame Brown was also rested.

Jason Terry on the bench is okay, mainly McGrady and Kwame Brown are the two starters. They have played too many games in the past few years, and they have to play more than 100 games every year.

When playing the Bucks back-to-back, the Eagles sent Rondo, Liu Mang, Grant Hill, Marion, Jermaine O'Neal to the starting lineup. The team's starting lineup cannot lack high school students, which is the tradition of the Eagles...

The rest is also to pick the opponent. Coach Kruger made this decision because the opponent is weak.

Unlike the Supersonics who were in chaos after changing a new boss, the Bucks have a clear goal, which is to put two geniuses in bad luck.

If McGrady doesn't play and Kwame Brown doesn't play, Liu Mang's game is going crazy.

全场打了40分钟，41投19中，三分20中8，罚球7中7，狂飙53分14板2助攻，隆多拿到7分5板15助攻，替补登场的斯科拉、贾森-特里、戈塔特合砍30分，五人合力带领老鹰队单场狂飙132分！
When Liu Mang needs to focus on scoring, Rondo also organizes the offense in a conventional way, helping the Eagles achieve the league's highest single-game scoring so far this season.

132 to 110, the Eagles didn't have any defense, leading too much, they didn't need to defend at all, and the 22-point difference slaughtered the Bucks who didn't even have Reid!
In the first six games, Liu Mang looked like he had turned into a point guard, and he suddenly broke the scoring record in a single game of the season!
The previous record was 49 points in a single game held by Wizards power forward Antawn Jamison. Liu Mang wanted to go ahead and overtake in an instant!

……

After playing the Bucks, the Eagles had a day off. On November 11th, the ninth game of the season was ushered in. The Wizards...

Liu Mang just surpassed Jamison's season-high scoring. Jamison really wanted to kill the Eagles to vent his hatred, but...after losing to the playoff-level Bobcats, they met the same playoff-level Wizards. The Eagles did their best...

The Wizards are very strange, very strange. Arenas is reimbursed for the season. Fans and the media think that this season is over, and the result is better than last season... 6 wins and 3 losses. Before the Wizards met the Eagles, their record was the same as that of the Magic!And relying on the advantage of a better record in the same division, the Wizards beat the Magic and ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference!
Without Arenas, the Wizards were not so afraid of the Hawks. They played very hard, but the Hawks were also very hard. McGrady and Kwame Brown played very actively after a rest!
The Wizards' guard line has changed from Arenas and Jarvis Hayes to veterans Antonio Daniels and Deshaun Stevenson. The offensive end has indeed declined suicide, but the defensive end has become several times stronger!
The Eagles' winning point in today's game is McGrady's scoring and Kwame Brown and Marion's second offense.

麦迪25投14中，三分9中4，罚球13中9，狂飙41分！
In addition, Kwame Brown and Marion scored 28 points and 25 rebounds together, and the Eagles beat the Wizards 106 to 99, winning three consecutive victories again!
Liu Mang scored 53 points in the last game against the Bucks, and today he returned to the state at the beginning of the season, with 16 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists. Liu Mang played too comfortably. At the critical moment, McGrady scored 41 points. McGrady beat Jamison's 40 points with [-] points and helped the Eagles win.

The Long center forward also continued to play the non-direct assisting style of team command and organization of offense.

Only in the second grade can he command a group of stars with ease, and Rondo's performance has been praised more and more by fans and the media.

The data is so-so, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in this game, but Rondo's presence is too strong!

Liu Mang didn't know how Rondo developed into this. Geniuses are always difficult to understand. Liu Mang felt that Rondo might think that the team needed such a role, so he developed in this direction.

……

……

After defeating the Wizards on November 11 and winning three consecutive victories, the Eagles' record has become 13 wins and 7 loss. After the first eight games, the record is very good, much better than last season.

The strong superiority of the overall strength is reflected. Taking the inside as the basic point of tactics and playing different tactics around the rotation of the inside, although this goal is a bit difficult, it will take a long time and a lot of energy to get it right, but after playing eight games, we have already achieved certain results.

What's more, opponents may not be able to adapt to this sudden change of play based on internal changes as the basic point of tactics.

八场比赛打完，老鹰队7胜1负，刘莽场均26分9.5助攻4.9篮板1.5抢断和1.9盖帽伴随着场均3次失误。

If it wasn't for one game where he only got two assists, Liu Mang would still be able to maintain a double-digit assist average per game!But in the same way, Liu Mang didn't score 53 points in that game, and his average score would not exceed 25 points per game.

This is something that everyone on the Eagles did not expect at the beginning.

In the year when Liu Mang won the assists title, the Eagles were running and playing, and their scoring average was higher than that of the Suns.

Liu Mang's organizational ability is not bad, it is also top-notch, but this season the Eagles are mostly adapting to the positional style of play with their new teammates at the beginning of the season. Running and playing, it is not a big problem for Liu Mang to average 10 assists per game. Back then, the group of flying eagles ran soaring, but it is very difficult for Liu Mang to average 10+ assists per game in positional warfare.

But in eight games this season, Liu Mang averaged 35 assists in 9.5 minutes per game...

Even Rondo, the core of the connected team, did not expect Liu Mang's setter to be so wonderful... which made Rondo even more delighted to devote himself to organizing the offense in a commanding way.

However, Rondo's face, which couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, made Liu Mang not sure what he was thinking.

Anyway, Rondo hums occasionally and seems to be in a good mood. Liu Mang is happy to enjoy the joy of the second pass. As a transfer station, he can pass the ball to teammates who have the opportunity without stopping. The low ball possession rate and high assist efficiency are so charming.

Liu Mang never thought that he and Rondo would have such a chemical reaction at first!

But the next game is a key battle for the Eagles to verify the results of running-in!

In the first eight games, the only strong opponent was the Suns in the opener. Including the preseason games, it was considered a run-in of 16 games. In fact, the Suns were confused by Gasol, who suddenly appeared and could guard O'Neal at this stage, and did not pose a substantial threat to the Eagles. The fourth quarter of that game went smoothly.

The next opponent is the first real rival after the Eagles training camp, preseason and the first eight games of the regular season!
San Antonio Spurs!

从10月27号常规赛开始，到11月14号，赛季开始了18天了，多数球队已经打了9场到11场比赛。

The Eagles only played 8 games here, with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers ranked second in the East with 7 wins and 2 losses, and the Bulls also ranked third in the East with 7 wins and 2 losses.

猛龙队6胜3负排在东部第四，魔术队7胜3负但由于不是赛区第一也没有骑士或者公牛战绩好只能排在东部第五，奇才队6胜4负排在东部第六，山猫队6胜5负排在东部第七，东部第八开始胜率就不到五成了。

In the West, the Lakers ranked second in the West with 7 wins and 2 losses, and the Hornets ranked third in the West with 6 wins and 3 losses. From fourth in the West to ninth in the West, the Jazz, Suns, Rockets, Nuggets, Mavericks, Trail Blazers... all 6 wins and 4 losses!
The record of the top nine in the West is about to explode!A sense of sight that all Western Conference playoffs are likely to win at least 50 wins!
In contrast, the Warriors, the [-]th seed in the Western Conference, started... miserably...

The Warriors struggled to make it to the playoffs last season. The Black Eight Mavericks were a miracle, but their strength was just like that. They also lost Jason Richardson. They started with 3 wins and 7 losses. The Kings and Clippers won two games. The Grizzlies and Supersonics only won one game.

The top nine in the Western Conference has started a super melee, and even the Lakers and Hornets may fall out of the top eight if they accidentally lose two or three in a row!It's crazy!
This has nothing to do with the fact that several weak teams in the West had their stars flow into strong teams in the summer, and some stars in the East were forced to go to the West.

However, there is also a clear stream in the top nine in the West...

The No. 9 Spurs in the Western Conference have won [-] consecutive victories!It is also the first in the league!
