From today on is the king

Chapter 1528 1527. Crazy Winning Streak! (seeking a monthly ticket)
"Hello, Mr. Liu:
I'm a big fan of yours and I'm currently at Arizona State University.

……

……

...James Harden. "

A student with a standard format, with proper letterhead and signature.

The content is nothing, it is all about expressing admiration, wanting to meet, wanting to take a group photo and sign, and some of Liu Mang's performances that he has seen so much that he admires them, etc.

What Liu Mang cares about is the person who wrote the letter!Looking at the attached photo of the California State High School League 2006-2007 season championship trophy, the handsome little brother and James Harden signed there...

Liu Mang did not expect that James Harden, who was born in Los Angeles, would return to Los Angeles and send him a letter when he came to Los Angeles!

Liu Mang asked the team staff who delivered the letter to him, and asked him to look at the photo of Harden without a beard, and confirmed that it was sent by Harden himself.

Liu Mang didn't expect that the JDZ king whom he admired so much was actually his fan!

It's a pity for Liu Mang, because the team booked the hotel, Harden couldn't get into the hotel, otherwise Liu Mang really wanted to meet Brother Deng.

After replying a letter to Xiao Deng, and making an appointment to have dinner in Phoenix at the end of January, Liu Mang put this episode aside.

On the 29th, San Niu went back to her vacation villa with her two cubs, bodyguards and servants. The family members of the players also had chartered flights to send them back to Atlanta. Of course, those who wanted to stay and play for a few more days like Liu Mang's family were free to decide, but they were not allowed to bring their families in the next four away games.

Liu Mang and his teammates took a chartered flight to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

……

The Mavericks, which were in full swing last season, are now only outside the top six in the Western Conference, hovering between seventh and ninth.

Spurs, Nuggets, Hornets, Suns, Lakers, Jazz, Rockets, these are the current rankings of the top seven in the Western Conference. The Mavericks have played 31 games, 19 wins and 12, temporarily leading the Trail Blazers by one win and ranking eighth.

In fact, the Rockets, the seventh in the West, have made great progress this season. They have a chance to reach 50 wins, and they have a high probability of winning 50 wins. However, the top nine in the West have a high probability of winning 50 wins.

The Eagles are currently 23 wins and 6 losses, ranking second in the league and first in the Eastern Conference.

Facing the Mavericks, both record and strength have huge advantages.

The Mavericks played against the top ten teams in the league this season. The other eight teams in the Western Conference and the top five teams in the Eastern Conference. When the Mavericks met them, they only had a record of 2 wins and 9 losses.

Playing against weak teams, the Mavericks can still rely on strong lineups to suppress them, but against strong teams, they are accustomed to playing singles and it is difficult to reverse their shortcomings in a short period of time to a tactical team.

Of course, the Mavericks can also restore their previous style of play and play star tactics, and their strength may improve immediately.

But coach Carlisle and Mavericks owner Cuban don't want to repeat their previous failures. If they want to make a big breakthrough, the Mavericks can only continue to struggle.

Due to the fact that the Mavericks have many stars and coach Carlisle is well-known, Mavericks fans are still very optimistic, thinking that this season will be over.

But Liu Mang knew that if the Mavericks really had a smooth transition, it would not be a matter of a year or two.

A smooth transition does not mean fast, it can only be said that they are changing step by step according to Coach Carlisle's ideas.

Getting used to this thing can be developed in a few months, but to change a long-term habit, it takes three years to start...

12月30号，老鹰队在2007年的最后一场比赛，以115比103，12分的分差轻松击败小牛。

There is not much suspense. With Wade, the Eagles' rotation lineup also has a sense of defensive oppression. Wade's hard work can easily infect his teammates, and Wade's talents have been evaluated by the system.

Liu Mang easily scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and the Eagles won three consecutive victories.

After beating the Mavericks, the Eagles flew to Oklahoma City the next morning.

Reconstruction in New Orleans is in full swing, and construction has begun on a new arena for the Hornets, who are in their final season in Oklahoma City.

Like last season, the Eagles came to Oklahoma City very popular. Before the Sonics moved here, Oklahoma City did not have a home team. The Hornets just liked it and did not regard it as the home team.

With a good end to the old year, the Hawks certainly want a good start to the new one.

Another tragedy for Paul...

Durant is young, he is excited when he sees Liu Mang, and wants to show his progress in front of Liu Mang.

Nowadays, rookies who enter the NBA after finishing their freshman year often have many flaws. Durant's flaw is that his shooting percentage is not high, but he has talent, which can be tolerated.

But Durant's biggest problem is his "naivety", too egotistical, too concerned about outside interference.

A casual disturbance by Liu Mang caused Durant to suffer a great impact.

However, this does not affect Durant's development, but makes Durant clear how he wants to improve.

Durant decided that it would be enough to develop according to Liu Mang's abuse of his style of play!He is not stupid and has a high golf quotient, so he knows that Liu Mang's style of play is very suitable for him.

The Eagles were already in good shape, and Paul had to endure the negative impact of his teammates' progress.

Although the Hornets have been very good this season, they were still suppressed by the Hawks.

122比106，在刘莽拿到21分11助攻6板、隆多7分9板4助攻、韦德和夸梅-布朗双双20分的表现下，老鹰队15分的分差击败黄蜂队，拿到4连胜，将战绩提升到了25胜6负！
For Liu Mang, he continued his way of strengthening himself by drawing a star card every other game to experience the improvement of each player's style of play.

This season, Liu Mang will draw a star card every other game. If he gets it, he will use it. If he doesn’t get it, he will use the star card that he drew before and thought it was useless to experience the playing style of each star. Even if it is the Doc Rivers star card drawn before, Liu Mang also uses it.

Just like after using Durant's star card, Liu Mang's pull-up jumper has changed a little bit compared to before, and he shoots better.

Of course, when playing against strong teams like the Lakers and Spurs, Liu Mang relied more on his own strength.

For Liu Mang, the bonus effect of the star card is getting lower and lower. Instead, it is to feel the play of other stars and find some characteristic play styles that suit him. It is more effective for Liu Mang and can make him stronger.

I comforted Paul, who scored 15 points and 15 assists and still lost. On the second day after playing against the Hornets, Liu Mang had to continue his consecutive road trip with the Eagles.

……

On the day of the game against the Hornets, Liu Mang also won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in December, and the Western Conference Player of the Month was taken away by Allen Iverson. This is the first time since the 12-04 season that Iverson won the best player of the month.

As for Liu Mang winning the best of the month in the East, it is a matter of course. No team in the East can catch up with the Eagles. In the West, only the Spurs in the West with 28 wins and 4 losses have a better record than the Eagles.

On January 1, the Eagles came to an away game to challenge the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers and the Nuggets played the first back-to-back game at home, and immediately ushered in the Eagles in the second back-to-back game.

The Cavaliers have been tough this year!
Originally, they got Billups who was very suitable for them, and their strength has been greatly enhanced.

But the Bulls, Raptors, and Magic have all become stronger. The Cavaliers are currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, ahead of the Bulls, but still behind the Eagles, Raptors, and Magic.

With 20 wins and 12 losses, the Cavaliers' current record is still very good, and they can also be tied with the fourth-ranked Lakers in the West.

But in terms of strength, the Cavaliers are definitely not as good as the Lakers.

I just lost to the Nuggets yesterday, and today I played against the Eagles, and the Cavaliers were abused again.

This game is pushed by the league, yes, and it is also the focus of fans' attention. Yes, 23VS24, James vs. James, Liu Mang vs. Peja, Kwame Brown vs. Chandler, Rondo vs. Billups... are all highlights.

But the game is one-sided...

The Eagles are in great shape right now!

After Wade came back, the Eagles have entered a very good state, a state where the Eagles coaching staff is deliberately suppressing the playing time of the main players.

Of course, it has to be in the case of a sure win. If you are anxious, you still have to go all out like you did against the Lakers.

韦德和隆多还有复出的小奥尼尔成了比赛的主角，韦德17分4板3助攻2抢断，隆多8分12板5助攻，加上小奥尼尔的20分5板和贾森-特里的16分，老鹰队替补阵容把骑士队打穿了！

Even if the main lineup of the Cavaliers is there, it can't stop the outstanding performance of the four major substitutes of the Eagles!
刘莽打了25分钟，拿到14分7助攻2篮板1盖帽就被换下了。

McGrady and Kwame Brown didn't play for a long time.

With the lessons learned from the Mavericks, Liu Mang, McGrady, Kwame Brown and others who have been in excellent form recently have been consciously suppressed by the coaching staff.

In fact, reducing playing time is the best way to suppress the state.

The Mavericks had an avalanche in the playoffs last year. In the final analysis, the root cause was that they fought too hard for their record in the regular season. When they saw that they had won the regular season championship in the playoffs, they relaxed their tone and could no longer maintain their previous state.

Of course, the way the Warriors beat the Mavericks is the main reason why they can get eight.

122 to 99, the Eagles in excellent form defeated the Cavaliers with a huge difference of 23 points, sending them to the fifth place in the East, and the Bulls lay down and entered the top four.

26 wins and 6 losses!The Eagles won a wave of five consecutive victories!

James is really getting more and more confused in the East, which is very different from what his manager team expected!
It is said that the Eastern Conference is weak. It is true that many Eastern Conference stars were sent to the Western Conference by the Eagles. The Cavaliers also picked up a lot of bargains, but the older generation of stars left.

And the enemy on the opposite side, the team and the individual themselves are getting better and better!
On January 1, the first back-to-back away game, the Eagles came to Indianapolis to challenge the Pacers.

The head coach of the Pacers, Jim O'Brien, can't afford to win. He is afraid that he will fight the Eagles again and "injure" all of O'Neal's teammates before. The Pacers will challenge the Eagles with 7 players...

Eight players were "injured", and the Eagles were stunned when they entered the court. There were only two on the opponent's bench who were not wearing suits!
There is no way, the Pacers need a high draft pick, and lose as much as possible. Larry Bird himself sat on the bench to "supervise" the team's loss.

Larry Bird specially asked scouts to investigate the Westbrook provided to him by the Eagles and found that this guy is really special!He can only lament the Eagles' "draft team" while trying to perform badly.

The Pacers were so tragic that they were almost out of five players. After their center Foster and shooting guard Kareem Rush left the field with six fouls, there were only five players left to play. Marquez Daniels, one of the former Dallas double ugly, also fouled four times.

79 to 115, the Pacers were slaughtered by the Eagles with a huge difference of 36 points without any suspense.

After avenging the one-shot revenge more than ten days ago, the Eagles ended their five-game winning streak. With the Heat defeated before the start of the five-game winning streak, the Eagles won six consecutive victories!
