……

The game against the Spurs is too limited to play fast breaks, but fortunately, the Eagles' positional battles are also very good.

After Liu Mang came up, it was Manu Ginobili who defended him. He abused a rookie, or a rookie who became famous in international competitions. It feels good.

With the possession of the ball in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang can finally perform well.

However, in the first three quarters, Liu Mang didn’t take many outside shots due to the big dog’s ball dominance. Now his shots are not accurate, and the opponent’s inside defense is strong. It is not too difficult to pass Ginobili. Ginobili’s defense is in the middle.

So Liu Mang passed Ginobili very smoothly, but he tried two step-backs and missed jump shots. Ginobili had a very high ball quotient, so he chose to shrink at the first time, and Liu Mang withered.

Jason Terry was already going crazy with anger, and Nima was right to worry about the rookie!This guy is a stubborn bastard!

When Jason Terry is irrational, sometimes he is good, he can swim for nine days, and sometimes he is as cheating as a big dog, and he can be a turtle in the river.

Raheem is the opponent's defensive focus. When Liu Mang's outside shot is inaccurate and Jason Terry doesn't feel angry when he holds the ball, Raheem will be miserable.

Ginobili was stunned by Liu Mang. Fortunately, Liu Mang's shot was not accurate today, otherwise he would have the same psychological shadow as Parker and Stephen Jackson.

Although the Spurs' offense was poor, they focused on defense in the last quarter and only scored 17 points on the offensive end, but the Eagles made desperate shots and only scored 18 points.

In the end, when the fans on the scene and in front of the TV couldn't believe it, the Eagles had almost no power to fight back against the Spurs! 83 to 88, although the Eagles only lost 5 points, but from the scene, the Eagles didn't even have a chance to struggle, and they were suppressed for the whole game!

……

The Eagles' opening game was defended like that, which is unbelievable for a team with 4 players who averaged 20+ per game last season!
But this is not over yet. Losing to the Spurs is just the beginning. Next, facing the Pistons, Nets, Mavericks, and Suns, the Eagles lost all four home games in a row!
Even the sun lost!

The script is no different from playing against the Spurs. Glenn Robinson digs holes with his strength.

By the time Glenn Robinson scored 20 points and was about to clock out, the Eagles were already behind by a big score, and it was no longer possible to fill in the sinkhole again!
Even the sun lost!

The Eagles seem to be in dire straits right now. The media gave advice, mocked, and gloated, as did the fans.

After the first game, the Eagles regretted losing, and Glenn Robinson was regarded as the key to the loss.

But it is considered that he wants to express himself too much, but few people criticize him because he played well in the preseason.

But the Eagles started with a 5-game losing streak in the next wave.

Sometimes, the evaluation of a person, just a few games, is like an avalanche.

Fans are at a loss as to why Glenn Robinson is playing so badly all of a sudden, isn't he off to a good start?
But then it was like a black hole!
The first game was an accident, but what about the second game and the third game?

This is five games!
That is to say, the fate of the big dog is hard. In the next two games, the Eagles encountered two bad teams, the Heat and the Cavaliers. The Eagles really won these two games with a few blind shots.

Well, even if it's a five-game losing streak, this is a combination of five all-stars!
However, immediately after the second half of November, the Eagles lost consecutively to the Celtics, Wizards, Supersonics... even... the Bulls, and a wave of mighty seven-game losing streak was unbelievable!Bulls lost!This is the king of bad shows for four consecutive years!

However, not only the Eagles fans still have a sliver of expectation, but some people in the media think that it is just a matter of running-in. The five-game losing streak is a lot, but it is really not a lot. Didn’t the Lakers suffer a five-game losing streak when Kobe and O’Neal were absent last season, and the seven-game losing streak is not much.

Even Liu Mang still retains a little thought, and wants to discuss it with Dagou in private, to see if he can influence this lost youth with the charm of his own language and the power of the head of state.

Liu Mang finally understands why Cassell and Ray Allen are so strong, both All-Star players, and they are still in the Eastern Conference, but they can't even make the playoffs, and once the big dog is sent away, they will immediately enter the playoffs in the second season.

Liu Mang felt that he needed to communicate with Glenn Robinson.

As a result, Liu Mang overestimated his own influence. His influence was based on the fact that Jason Terry and Raheem both supported him. Except for the three new rookies, the others were convinced by the combination of San Shao, not Liu Mang alone.

Liu Mang talked to Glenn Robinson privately for the first time, and Glenn Robinson only replied: "Little devil, it's not your turn to tell me what to do."

Liu Mang was at a loss, is there really a player with such a cancerous tumor?It's beyond his cognition!He thinks the most poisonous is the little blacksmith!Now I find that the little blacksmith is as pure as a girl with yellow flowers, as pure as milk tea...

Liu Mang finally couldn't help it, and he didn't want to drag Jason Terry and Raheem to the outside world to leave a bad reputation. He didn't care about reputation, and the reputation of his teammates was still very important.

Liu Mang found coach Kruger and asked to trade Glenn Robinson, but coach Kruger went to discuss with the boss but to no avail.

Steven Price has cried several times recently. He is a big man. When the deal was successful, he was touted to the sky by the media and fans, and he became the best manager in the preseason.

However, in just one month, he fell from heaven to below, and Steven Price was about to cry.

But he still has a little fantasy, what if it's just a bad start?How well the Big Dogs played in the preseason!

Facts have proved that sometimes everything is just a flash in the pan.

In fact, many people who have come to their senses, such as Liu Mang and others, feel that this is not even a flash in the pan. It is just a few preseason games. What if the three of them can't hit this kind of data?
Mainly because the media overhyped it too much.

Things are going well now. The Hawks started with a five-game losing streak. In November, they won 11 wins and 2 losses. Glenn Robinson came up to dig a hole, but no one else could fill in the hole.

But the boss still had illusions, and coach Kruger had no choice but to send Glenn Robinson to the starting lineup in early December.

As a result, the Eagles just won a game against the Warriors in early December, followed by another 12-game losing streak, that is, the first 4 games, 19 wins and 3 losses!
Coach Kruger decided not to care about the boss's thoughts, what he likes to do, he has the feeling of firing this coach, the job of the head coach of Georgia Tech is much easier than this!How can there be such a player!

Just when Coach Kruger decided to freeze Glenn Robinson, Liu Mang found a glimmer of life in despair.

Liu Mang understood, the big dog is hard to change!There is no way to communicate, and he doesn't dare to be criticized by the outside world. He doesn't care. As long as the data is good, he thinks that he can get a big contract.

IQ is really important. After Liu Mang got the news that coach Kruger told him that his boss would let him wait a little longer, maybe because he didn't get along well and that he would not trade for the time being, he returned home in despair.

But if you don't break out in despair, you will fall in despair, Liu Mang had a flash of inspiration!
Early the next morning, Liu Mang asked coach Kruger out without discussing with the team, so as to avoid having ears on the wall.

Raheem, Jason Terry, Mohammed, Ratliff all made appointments and found a place to talk behind closed doors.

Liu Mang no longer had any affection for Glenn Robinson, and his suggestion shocked the core members of the Eagles, and he once again affirmed his thoughts: never offend this dish... the second-year guy!
When Liu Mang meets Shabi, he has to support him and let him become a big Shabi. It is better to let go of the ball and let Glenn Robinson do his best to collect statistics. In the first three quarters, let him do whatever he likes.

Then Liu Mang went to find the boss himself and asked the boss to choose one of the two!

In fact, Liu Mang could go to the boss directly, but at first he was too disrespectful to the boss. The boss still had a little fantasy. Everyone can see this. The relationship should not be so rigid. Although Steven Price is of average ability, he is the heir of a family business, that’s it, but he is generally very good to the players, and he has a good relationship with Liu Mang.

The second is where can Glenn Robinson like this be sent out?

Everyone can see Glenn Robinson's rottenness. Only Steven Price is still looking forward to it, that is, if he trades out, he may only get back another garbage contract, which is not good for the team's future.

However, if you want to reverse the impression that Glenn Robinson is rotten to the bottom, Glenn Robinson has to play well, not alone, just don’t want to clock in and get off work every day, but if Glenn Robinson has such a good mentality, is there still a need for a trade?

Therefore, Glenn Robinson’s rot cannot be reversed. It can only make his statistics better and make other teams feel that he is capable, but he is "again" in a team that is not suitable for him, so that people have a player who can still look forward to as long as he can manage well. After all, he is only 29 years old and at the peak of his contract.

……

So, next Glenn Robinson was very surprised. Each of the Eagles players said that they did not do well, did not defend well, did not play well, did not create opportunities for teammates, and one by one took the initiative to take responsibility and take the blame.

Then in the game, the entire Eagles team served Glenn Robinson and gave Glenn Robinson countless shots. Everyone helped him pick and roll and help him open the defense.

Needless to say, Glenn Robinson must have the strength. The Eagles immediately ushered in a wave of three consecutive victories. They defeated the Raptors who were still recovering from Carter, the Grizzlies who were sister-in-law, and the Heat who were always so incomplete.

Just when people thought that the Eagles were about to "finish the run-in", several teams that Glenn Robinson's strength could not win in singles came, the Pistons, Timberwolves, Mavericks, Jazz, Magic, Pacers... six-game losing streak!

Glenn Robinson's data is very good. Of course, it is very good to look at the score without looking at other things. In the first 12 games in December, he averaged 9 points, 27 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

The beautiful schedule of the first two months that the league took special care of was wasted, and the Eagles started with a miserable 5 wins and 18 losses!The East is second, "only" in the Cavaliers!
At this time, no one has any illusions about the current lineup of the Eagles!

Fortunately, November is still a time when everyone is expecting Glenn Robinson to "rehabilitate" and integrate into the team with a little expectation.

But the first nine games in December were torture for Liu Mang.

Finally, the Hawks had only 28 games in the first two months. The Eagles had the easiest schedule in the first two months of the league. The only difficulty was the six-game playoff team that just finished.

On such an easy schedule, the Eagles are off to a 5-18 start.

Now all the media collectively sing about the aging eagle, thinking that the Eagles are over.

It's finally time to "force the palace"!

……

On December 12th, there is no game today. The Eagles have 19 games left this month, two back-to-back games on the 5st and 21nd before the Christmas game, and two away games on the 22th and 28th after the Christmas game.

Today was originally a holiday for the Eagles, but after Liu Mang lost to the Pacers last night, he called his boss and made an appointment to meet at the arena early this morning.

On time, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang and Schwartz came to the door of the general manager's office and knocked.

Hearing the response, Liu Mang opened the door and walked in.

What I saw was Steven Price, who had lost a lot of hair. His oily hair didn't look like hairspray, but he probably hadn't washed it for a long time.

Liu Mang remembered, it seemed that from the middle of the six-game losing streak, that is, the third three-game losing streak, Steven Price hadn't appeared, whether it was an interview, a team meeting, or the game scene.

Seeing Liu Mang coming, Steven Price obviously had an expression of anticipation and worry, probably because Liu Mang's phone call and the pressure from the outside world stayed up all night, Steven Price's eyes were bloodshot.

"Hi Mr. Price, I want to discuss something." Liu Mang said straight to the point.

"Don't worry, Ace, I've already contacted you last night. We will send Glenn Robinson away at all costs! From today onwards, Glenn Robinson will not appear in the locker room!" Steven Price said hastily.

Because when Liu Mang called Steven Price last night, the feeling of speaking made Steven Price feel quite bad, especially after Liu Mang finished the call, Schwartz also called, saying that he did not want to continue discussing the contract renewal this year.

Because of the big dog, Liu Mang's contract extension has been shelved since the first three games in November, and he doesn't plan to talk about it now, which made Steven Price panic.

Especially Liu Mang, who used to use the more intimate title of boss, this time he directly called him Mr., clearly alienating him a lot!

If Liu Mang wants to change teams next season, the Eagles' salary is above the salary cap, and they don't have bird rights, so they can't match!
"Mr. Price, what I want to say is not this." What Liu Mang wants is not just this, he wants more!
This time it was Schwartz's turn to speak: "I think we need the right to know and speak about the team's lineup changes and ideas. We want to know in advance what kind of transactions will be made. Mr. Price, you know, we don't want to be bad, and now we are worse than the Warriors and the Bulls."

Steven Price understood that Liu Mang and his manager wanted the kind of treatment that only superstars could get!
Everything seems to be negotiable!Steven Price was already planning to treat Liu Mang as a superstar and the face of the team because of Liu Mang's strength, potential due to his age, and commercial value, so everything is negotiable!

……

……

On this beautiful day, even God seemed to feel the joy and hope for the future in Liu Mang's heart. It seemed that even God felt that it was time to dissipate the dark clouds over Atlanta. The weather was quite good. Atlanta, which had not seen the sun for a long time, was sunny today.

After a detailed discussion, Liu Mang came out of Steven Price's office, and Schwartz continued to discuss the details.

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Mang's serious, I'm so angry, I'm so angry, I'm fed up, you'll trade me if you don't agree...switched to a villainous expression.

"Lu la la lu, lu la la lu." Liu Mang was as happy as a 190-pound fat man, and rode his bicycle back downstairs to the apartment building and shouted in the direction of the sixth floor: "Dinah, Levia, Aida, it's time for us to be reborn from the ashes!"
