From today on is the king

Chapter 404 402. The old man is coming (plus more 417)

123:101.

The Eagles slaughtered the Bucks by 22 points at home.

Although Ray Allen supernaturally set a record of 47 points and scored a career high of 51 points, he still couldn't stop the strength of the Eagles.

At best, Ray Allen and Raheem exploded each other, and the others couldn't stop the Eagles who took off strong!

This is not a bad team like the Cavaliers, Grizzlies, or Heat, but a real playoff team defeated!

Raheem regained his glory and almost got 50+ for the second time in his career, Jason Terry's stable outside output, the two rookies performed brilliantly when they debuted in the regular rotation time for the first time, and they were also two rookies at the end of the first round!
The Eagles’ vision for the draft is impressive. Although this is the first time Boozer and Prince have played in regular time, some opponents don’t understand why they underestimate them, but Boozer’s grasp of pick-and-roll timing and Prince’s awareness of assisting defense, this ability cannot be shown by the opponent’s underestimation. This is talent!

Because there is only one game, it is not easy to judge the future with the two rookies, but at least the fans are amazed.

These are not important, the most important thing is that Liu Mang can pass the ball!
There was a fan rumor that Liu Mang was mentored by Stockton in the summer, and people thought it was made up by someone watching Stockton’s polite interview. These days, cameras in the United States have long been popular. In 1987, photos can be uploaded on the Internet, plus various news and newspapers. The concept of no picture, no truth has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Now I find that it seems to be true!
Most importantly, the Hawks seem to have really bounced back!

It's not just relying on one or two stars to win the victory, but everyone is in good condition. This is not just a burst to win the next game, but a normal performance!

The happiest thing is not the Eagles themselves or the Eagles fans, because now they are only 6 wins and 18 losses, with a 20.00% winning percentage. It is still early to enter the playoffs. Eagles players and fans know that the road to counterattack has just begun, and the future will be difficult.

The Eagles have almost wasted November and December, the two months with the easiest schedule, and the following January is relatively good, with only 11 games, but in February and March, the busiest months in China, the Eagles have 12 games in total, 1 games in February, and 15 games in March!
Like the Rockets, the Hawks have the most difficult schedule in February and March. The reason is obvious. The league spends the most time in order to cater to Chinese fans.

Seeing the Hawks finally seem to be on the mend, David Stern cried in the office!

Originally, it was because of the end of the Chinese double-star project, because Yao Ming’s rookie season was not bad, but it was not good. Up to now, he averaged 12 points and 8 rebounds per game, which is quite satisfactory.
The TV broadcasters almost burst into tears. There was a male singer with both virtue and skill who sang well: After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today...

Although Barkley is targeting the Eagles, he is also very happy to see the rising ratings. Who would have trouble with money? The higher the ratings of the commentary game, the higher the bonus.

Although the Eagles still seem to be struggling to make the playoffs, at least they are getting better!If it gets better, it means the ratings, it's all money!
Domestic fans still start scolding battles when they have something to do, but the commentators on the imperial court can finally start to brag about how good the Eagles are. They were swollen from being beaten in the face at the beginning of the season. Of course, some commentators were given the nickname: Yang Huahua. Every time he commented on the Eagles game, the Eagles were abused.

However, some people are happy and some are sad. The Hornets players who have come to Atlanta one day earlier are about to cry.

Don't bother!
Why is it their turn, the Eagles counterattacked?
At this time, the people who traded with the Spurs and the Eagles have not yet reported to the opposing team for a physical examination. They will not be able to play the game for two days.

Now there has never been a Bucks without Glenn Robinson, and an Eagles without Glenn Robinson. From the current performance of these two teams, people feel that the Spurs have been cheated!
The Hornets are even more sad, why the Spurs want to help the Eagles take over!Even if you accept the order, can you wait a few more days?How could the trade be done before they beat the Hawks?Anyway, let's wait until they sweep the Eagles!
……

……

After the game against the Bucks, the Eagles' evening interviews continued for a long, long time.

However, this interview was quite harmonious. Liu Mang, who had made bold words before, was very low-key this time, and stopped talking nonsense to avoid setting any flags. With the task of counterattack, Liu Mang felt that it is better to play low-key and high-key.

It was almost one o'clock when Liu Mang got home at night, and found that the light in his apartment was still on!

Opening the door, Dinah, Alexia, and Levia seemed to be celebrating the New Year, and the coffee table in the living room was full of food.

"Uncle..." Dinah rushed over excitedly when she saw Liu Mang came back.

Just as Liu Mang hugged little Lolita, he slapped him on the face.

"Dinah knew that we would definitely win. Uncle is amazing, Uncle Sharif is amazing, Uncle Jason is amazing, that uncle who looks like a monkey is amazing too, our Eagles team is amazing..."

Liu Mang looked at Dinah, who was counting the players with her fingers in her arms, and felt that it was great to win.

The atmosphere at home in the past two months has been very depressing. The main reason is that Liu Mang is not happy about losing and the atmosphere is low. In addition, Dinah is a standard American team girl who has been raised since childhood. Dinah is double depressed and depressed every day. Liu Mang feels that Dinah has lost weight.

Finally, I saw that lively little loli again.

Liu Mang made up his mind, he must win!Must win!If there is another guy who will affect the team's performance, kill him directly!

For a while, Alexia and Dinah were reluctant to go to the Phillips Arena to watch games. They kept losing, which was meaningless.

"Okay, Dinah! It's so late without going to bed! There's still class tomorrow!" Liu Mang patted Dinah's head, "By the way, senior, it's so late today, and you haven't come home yet?"

Just as Alexia was about to speak, Dinah spoke first: "Teacher Aida won't be going back tonight, so I'm staying here..."

Just as Liu Mang's eyes lit up, the second part of Dinah's words came out: "Tonight, Teacher Aida will sleep in Dinah's room, Dinah will sleep in Uncle's room, and Uncle will sleep on the sofa!"

Liu Mang almost recited it in one breath, this girl's arrangement is really good!Why doesn't your teacher sleep in the master's room, and the master sleeps on the sofa?

"Today I saw Ace and you finally won. We went to the supermarket to buy some food and had a party. We wanted to wait for you to come back. I didn't expect you to interview so many after winning the game, so you came back at this time." Alexia explained, "Then the teacher will sleep in Dinah's room tonight. I will wake Dinah up tomorrow morning."

"Teacher Aida... let Dinah sleep late tomorrow. The teacher asks for leave for Dinah and says that Dinah is sick, okay?" Little Lolita began to act coquettishly again.

This trick worked on Liu Mang, but it didn't seem to work on women. Alexia patted Dinah's head: "You've learned to pretend to be sick! No way! Children can't tell lies!"

"Teacher is stingy! Uncle finally won the game, so can't you let Dinah sleep more!"

Alexia's childlike innocence also rose, and she made a face at Dinah, but she refused.

Looking at the atmosphere at home, the women and children in the family were so happy because they won a game. Liu Mang felt that it was better to be a fan of James and Duncan. He has led the team to the playoffs for more than ten years.

Liu Mang endured the interview for so long without setting a flag. Now that he returns home, he sees his family so happy, Dinah so lively, and Alexia so happy. Although Levia didn't say much, she was obviously happy.

Hearing Dinah's words, "Uncle finally won the game", Liu Mang couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, Dinah, your uncle, I will win many games in the future, and I will make it to the playoffs every year. I won't let you guys see me lose so badly again!"

Immediately, Liu Mang understood what it means to pretend to be cool for a while.

"Ding... In response to the great wish sent by the host, the system releases a career mission: The Way of the King."

"Road to the King: The host must enter the playoffs in every season of his NBA career. When the goal is completed in each season, the superstar value will be rewarded after calculation by the system. Failure penalty: 1 superstar points will be deducted for every win one game away from the playoffs."

Depend on!Liu Mang was dumbfounded!One night, two hours of interviews, I held back and didn't set a flag. I was slack at this moment, but I still couldn't hold back!

This task...is not difficult to say, and the punishment is not too much, but it is still very hopeless!Liu Mang really wanted to slap his own mouth!
……

……

The next morning, when Liu Mang woke up, it was past nine o'clock, and there was no one at home.

Levia went shopping for Christmas Eve, Dinah and Alexia went to school, today is the last day of class, and tomorrow there will be a 9-day double-egg holiday.

Liu Mang got up and folded the quilt on the sofa, otherwise Dinah would come back at night and say that such a big uncle didn't even fold the quilt.

After washing up, Liu Mang ate some bread and lettuce, and then rode to the arena.

Because it is back to back, there was no training today except for the team meeting at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, but today is the day when two new teammates come to report.

It doesn't matter whether the new teammates are new teammates or not. The important thing is that one of the teammates is the future star Kevin Wesley who will 100% retire his jersey with the Eagles in the future.

Although the Eagles have a long history, apart from winning a championship in the 57-58 season, there are actually very few honors in team history, and there are not many stars who have won individual NBA awards in team history.

Except for Ratliff, who has now won the best defensive player and best defensive team, and Raheem, who has the best team, before the three Kitty Hawks came out, there were only 4 players who had been selected to the best team in the history of the Eagles: Bob Pettit, the ancient superstar who led the team to the only championship in team history, Lou Hudson, the team leader in the 60s, Dominique Wilkins, the essence of human movies, and the last one is Kevin Wesley.

Moreover, Kevin Wesley is also the leader in rebounding and No. 5 in scoring in the history of the Eagles.

Kevin Wesley just signed a 2-year 460 million contract with the Spurs. Originally, he planned to finish the two years with the Spurs. After reaching the longest career record of 21 seasons by Robert Parish, who is second only to the Celtics legend and nicknamed the Chief, he returned to the Eagles to play for one year and retire, just tying the record of the Chiefs.

The management of the Eagles thought so too. It was a helpless situation to send Kevin Wesley to the Heat in exchange for Steve Smith.

But now that the Spurs use Kevin Wesley as a bargaining chip to balance the salary, the Eagles are naturally happy to bring the veteran back.

Not to mention that the veteran was 39 years old last season and was able to efficiently average 6 points and 6 rebounds per game. This year, he is also in excellent physical condition, but he is not compatible with the Spurs. He is too thin and cannot be used against the Spurs' main opponent O'Neal.

Just say that Kevin Wesley's rich experience in the playoffs is what the Eagles lack the most. An old family is like a treasure.

Liu Mang still likes to ride a bicycle. When he came to the training ground of Phillips Arena, he found that there were already a bunch of reporters. He checked his mobile phone and saw that it was 10:30. This veteran arrived really early. He probably came for a physical examination early in order to participate in tonight's game.

After the physical examination and the permission of the team doctor, he can represent the team in the competition.

Seeing Liu Mang coming, the reporters immediately surrounded him.

Originally, when Kevin Wesley came back, he would definitely not be able to attract so many reporters. At most, the local media would interview him, and other media would reprint it.

The main thing is to wait for Liu Mang to come.

The title of Liu Mang Arena Mouse has long been known in the NBA, and he will definitely come this morning, and Liu Mang is full of respect for the veterans in everything. The team's future stars are back, and there are still veterans on the team who may be selected for the Hall of Fame based on the length of their careers. The media speculates that Liu Mang will come.

Seeing the dense crowd of reporters coming up, Liu Mang was already used to it.

"Ace, Kevin Wesley, the rebounding leader in your team history, is back. Do you have anything to say?" The reporter's question was not bad, very friendly.

Liu Mang replied: "Of course, it's great that Kevin is back. We really need a teammate with such rich experience. He will use his experience to correct the mistakes we may make and let us avoid many mistakes. We urgently need a veteran with such experience. Of course, we will work hard to learn from him. I can't wait to partner with him."

Coach Kruger and veteran Kevin Wesley on the side are very satisfied with Liu Mang's statement, especially Coach Kruger, who has seen Liu Mang go through this dark period, and now speaks more skillfully.

"Kevin Wesley's career may break through 20 seasons. This is a great achievement. Ace, have you ever thought about playing for that long?" The reporter's question was still very friendly.

But this time...

"No, I'm not interested. I won't fight when I'm tired." Liu Mang resolutely refused to express his envy. Damn, these guys always want to set the flag for Xiaoye!

Although playing for more than 20 years, it is really enviable...

　There may be another chapter, which will be updated tonight if it is finished before 12 o'clock, and it will be updated at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning if it is not finished.
