From today on is the king

Chapter 210 209. A Sudden Good Thing

After playing the Timberwolves on January 1, the Eagles returned to Atlanta the next day, and did not have time to rest. On the morning of February 30, the NBA officially announced the list of all-star substitutes selected by the coach.

The Eastern Conference All-Star bench lineup is: Heat's Alonzo Mourning, Celtics' Paul Pierce, Pacers' Jermaine O'Neal, Nets' Jason Kidd, Magic's Tracy McGrady, Bucks' Ray Allen and Hawks' Jason Terry.

The Western All-Star bench lineup is: Gary Payton of the Sonics, Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash of the Mavericks, Michael Finley, and Elton Brand of the Clippers.

Jason - Terry finally squeezed into the All-Star bench!

But the Eagles players didn't give Jason Terry time to celebrate. No. 1 and No. 2 ushered in back-to-back home games with the Warriors and Raptors.

Gilbert Arenas, an old injury in the future, is also one of the most popular players in this draft. He is one of the few rookies who averaged double figures per game, but his knees are really brittle. He was basically reimbursed after playing 37 games in his rookie season, and he withdrew from the competition for the best rookie team.

In addition to Arenas, the Warriors ranked No. 5 in the Western Conference last season and the second-to-last in the league. They also have Jason Richardson, who is getting better and better with the No. [-] pick.

Speaking of the 2001 draft, the Bulls and the Warriors were really bad luck for a team that had been bad for a year last year. The Warriors didn't pick one of the top three picks and fell to fifth.

Kwame Brown's physical talent and high school basketball intelligence are really nothing to say, especially defensively.

Jason Richardson played badly at the beginning of the season and was suppressed by Arenas, who was extremely eager to perform. However, after Arenas was injured in early January, Jason Richardson had absolute possession of the ball and averaged 1 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which was very impressive.

However, Jason Richardson's performance in the first two months was average. Except for dunks, there was nothing outstanding. As a result, the average has only exceeded 10 points until now. By the end of the season, he may average 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

However, although Jason Richardson's recent statistics are good, it is a bit difficult to threaten Liu Mang's No.1 title as the No. [-] rookie guard this year.

Especially in this direct match between the two teams, the Eagles did not make the mistakes they lost to the Bulls last time. Regardless of whether the hand feels good or not, they have a firm belief in defense from the beginning, and they cannot belittle their opponents just because they are weak.

No. [-] in the East!It is rare to secure the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference. How could the Eagles players give it back to the Nets or Pistons?
From the very beginning, the Eagles did not give the Warriors a chance. Liu Mang did not hold back against his opponents in the same class. After playing, he scored consecutively. He scored 15 points in the first half and firmly suppressed Jason Richardson.

The current slam dunk king is not the sharp shooter in the future, scoring all depends on wild shots. Of course, this is also the way the Warriors train rookies. Anyway, they are doing poorly, so they give two rookies a wild shot. Unfortunately, the better talent that can be seen by the naked eye is reimbursed less than half of the season.

116比87，老鹰主场屠杀勇士队拿到两连胜，将战绩提升到32胜13负，逐渐拉开了和已经输了15场的篮网和输了16场的活塞的差距。

……

Having secured the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference, and two more of their own players were selected to the All-Star bench lineup, the Atlanta media finally couldn't help but praise the Eagles.

I really can't do such a shameful thing!

Everyone felt that facing the Raptors, who Carter was basically going to be reimbursed for this season, the Eagles could easily win. As a result, the Raptors came to Atlanta with the mentality that the underdogs must win.

Carter is not really reimbursed, the application for reimbursement is just to have an extra quota and injury exception to sign the Puerto Rican player Carlos Arroyo with a short contract.

If Carter returns after recovering from knee surgery two months later, it would be fine to say that the injury recovery exceeded expectations. This is a common thing in the NBA, and the league also turns a blind eye.

After losing to the Raptors, the Eagles traveled all the way to Oakland with grievances, and beat the Warriors again.

The Warriors are probably saving their character for the consecutive selection of several superstar players after the black eight, and they will probably have to save for several years.

Immediately after playing the Warriors, the Eagles flew to Phoenix again. In the last game of the first 5 days and 4 games, they played away against the [-]th Suns in the Western Conference.

This game was not as easy as bullying the Warriors. With the inside and outside combination of Stephen Marbury and Sean Marion, and the second team led by Penny Hardaway on the bench, the Suns gave the Eagles a head-on blow to the exhausted Hawks.

斯蒂芬-马布里爆砍17分15助攻，肖恩-马里昂拿到23分19篮板，两人带领太阳队主场97比83大胜老鹰。

Liu Mang saw that Marbury's offense was very strong, and he was not as independent as he imagined. He was even quite selfless, giving the ball when he had the opportunity. Except for a little more turnovers, he really couldn't see where he was independent.

What about the lone wolf?

Liu Mang handed over this doubt to Raheem, who is also in the 96 golden generation. Raheem was very surprised why Liu Mang had such an idea. Before Nash had risen, Marbury was the player with the best assists in the 96 golden generation. Although Marbury had the nickname of a lonely wolf, he did not have the nickname of a selfish wolf.

The "independence" in the understanding of Chinese fans translates into English to mean selfishness.

Liu Mang learned about it, and found out that when Marbury broke up with the Timberwolves for a big contract and sought a deal, in the eyes of the Americans, the wolf king candidate who left the wolf pack was the wolf that failed, the lonely wolf.

Lonely wolf, lone wolf... Liu Mang feels that his IQ is not enough, or that the Chinese people's language skills are too explosive. A name can actually "change" the characteristics of a player's style of play.

In fact, after watching Marbury's style of play when he was almost 40 years old, it should be clear that this guy is not unique at all...

In China, in fact, many media reported on the NBA after Yao Ming entered the NBA. They didn’t even know the existence of the NBA before. They thought that Yao Ming was the one who was invincible in basketball, and directly abbreviated Lonely Wolf as Lone Wolf...

……

……

Finally, after the first five days and four games, the Eagles returned to Atlanta to get two days off. Counting the plane ride, it was actually just over a day. On the 8th and 9th, the Eagles will play back-to-back home and away games, which the media called the "Eastern Finals Preview".

Back in the parking lot of the Atlanta airport, Liu Mang, who was exhausted, mainly mentally exhausted, just wanted to take the bus home. After receiving a call, Coach Kruger directly dragged Liu Mang into his car.

"Coach, what's the matter?" Liu Mang asked.

"Good thing, follow me to the arena." Coach Kruger seemed a little excited.

"A good thing? Could it be that Uncle Callahan brought his precious granddaughter and introduced him to me as my girlfriend?" Liu Mang learned from Emmanuel after staying with Emmanuel for a long time.

"Dream! If Steven knew that you were thinking about his granddaughter, he would probably fight you desperately. The cow eats grass and wants to stick his head out. Don't harm his granddaughter." Coach Kruger said helplessly.

Cows eat grass and still want to stretch their heads?Liu Mang didn't quite understand it, but he probably understood that the American version of the rabbit doesn't eat grass by the side of the nest.

But what is a scourge!Could it be that the young master is a person who harms other people's daughters in your mind, the coach?

Liu Mang was also joking, but he was really curious about what a good thing it was?

……

An hour later, Liu Mang and coach Kruger came to the Phillips Arena. Coach Kruger took him to the office of the boss Steven Price. The boss came to the team today.

Besides Steven Price, Liu Mang also saw a picture of a man who looked a little familiar but had a strange style of painting.

"Oh, Ace, Lang, you are finally back. This is the official CEO, Adam Silva." Steven Price excitedly and enthusiastically introduced Adam Silva, who had a long hair, to the two of them.

It was the first time for Coach Kruger to meet the vice president formally, and he shook hands politely.

On the other hand, Liu Mang couldn't believe it when he shook hands.

The school belle actually has hair!
This……

What has happened to the school belle in the future!
Manu, you are not alone!

"Hello, Ace, I'm going to fly to Minneapolis soon, so I'll just say it straight, congratulations on becoming an alternate All-Star for the 2002 Philadelphia All-Star Weekend, replacing Vince Carter, who retired due to injury, as this year's All-Star player." After speaking, Adam Silva handed out the trophy engraved with the English name of Ace Liu to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang, who was studying the beauty's hair, didn't realize it for a while. He took the small trophy and glanced at it. He was not as handsome as the All-Star MVP. When he took other people's things, he habitually said, "Thank you."

This came a little suddenly!It took Liu Mang a while to react. After Adam Silva had left, the boss excitedly took Coach Kruger to discuss something. Liu Mang walked to the parking lot and found that his "car" was not there. Then he remembered that he seemed to be riding in Coach Kruger's car, and his bicycle was still at home!

In the eyes of the other three, Liu Mang's performance was not very exciting, but he was very grand, full of the demeanor of a future "superstar", and his mental endurance was awesome.

In fact, Liu Mang did not react for a while simply because this matter, which he had never considered before, came too suddenly...

　Dangdangdangdang, the monthly pass with more than 700 tickets is added. .I hope there will be so many monthly tickets next month, just like recently, 20 or so per day will be cool~ Not counting the double, this one has more than 470 tickets~ Of course, this Xiaofeng won’t get any awards, mainly for the honor of the book.
