From today on is the king

Chapter 466
If there is a keyword search ranking list on the Internet now, Liu Mang is on the Internet of China and the United States, two major basketball countries, and Liu Mang's Chinese and English names are likely to be popular in China and the United States...

The Eagles defeated the 76ers and won another five consecutive victories. This is not important. People thought that the Eagles had a high chance of winning.

Liu Mang's 36 points were higher than Iverson's 35 points. This is not important. Iverson also scored 11 assists, while Liu Mang only had 7.

The opponents who played against Iverson have had a hard time overtaking Iverson in recent years, whether it is Iverson who scored wildly before, or Iverson who is now combining sudden shots.

Liu Mang is full of topics again today, because he once again contributed a classic scene, poor Arenas, if Arenas still has a lore shot and celebrates in the future, people can only be regarded as imitating Liu Mang.

Liu Mang's pretentiousness once again made him the focus of media and fans' discussions.

Liu Mang's self-confident and arrogant celebration after his three-point shot will become a memorable scene in this season and even in the history of the NBA. Of course, Liu Mang has to play a very good career, at least better than Arenas.

……

However, pretending to be struck by lightning is a truth that has never changed. When they played against the Nets the next day, the Eagles only had Liu Mang who had good physical strength to go up and be destroyed by the Nets. Raheem and Ratliff were too tired from playing yesterday. Today they played against the Nets. They will definitely go all out when they play. There will be a back-to-back next, which makes Coach Kruger very worried about the health of the two. injury history.

Originally, Coach Kruger was very anxious, whether he wanted to reduce the playing time of the two.

However, reducing playing time will inevitably lead to a decline in the data of Raheem and Ratliff, and they will definitely not be satisfied.

Originally, it was not a good time to rest in rotation this year, but seeing that the opponent was the Nets, coach Kruger suddenly remembered the strategy of rotating in last season, so he simply found an excuse, saying that the two were too tired to play last night and their muscles were tense.

The strategy of the Eagles is that in February and March, when they play against the three teams in Lake Ma, they win if they can win, and if they lose, they must win. If they play against the 76ers and the Nets, the winning rate is half and half. Now the winning rate of the Eagles is 50.00%.

The most difficult part for the Eagles now is that there are too many back-to-backs!
Generally speaking, there are 29 teams in the league, and each team has back-to-backs between 14 and 19, including 14 and 19. Only the Kings, Eagles, Lakers, and Celtics have 14 back-to-backs this season.

But it’s hard to die, the Eagles only had 5 back-to-backs in the first three months, one in April, and the remaining 4 back-to-backs were piled up in February and March, 9 in February, and 4 in March.

For such a schedule, the Eagles can only choose to give up the game in order to maintain their health.

This is the case with the Nets. Originally, the Nets with Kidd were a big boss in the Eastern Conference. The Eagles had just played an offensive tug-of-war that was close to the full court.

However, fortunately, the Eagles won the 76ers, so the planned two opponents chose one of the two to win, and it became much easier. Coach Kruger asked Liu Mang to start with a lineup of Prince, Barnes, Boozer, and Kevin Wesley to be beaten by Kidd.

This lineup is really pitiful to me, it’s miserable... In fact, it’s okay. After playing for a few minutes, the Nets found that the Eagles really had no resistance. Except for the pick-and-roll cooperation of Liu Mang and Boozer, the others had to rush with the ball and throw it against the defense. Kidd played for a while and then rested.

The Nets didn't beat the Eagles to death either, mainly because the two teams didn't see each other. Coach Scott couldn't beat the Eagles to death. The Eagles started Liu Mang and replaced Jason Terry.

The Nets are very afraid of the Eagles. If they really want to fight, Coach Scott and Kidd are not very willing.

Coach Scott and Kidd have been wondering how the Hawks seem to know their style of play like the back of their hands, and always have some weird tricks to use against them.

So the Nets are unwilling to fight with the Eagles so early. Since the Eagles strategically gave up the game, they are happy to see Jason Terry brushing up the data.

The Eagles are already unstoppable in the playoffs, and the Nets are powerless to stop them. However, as the strongest team in the East, the Nets have the strength to choose their opponents in the first round of the playoffs. The Nets now want to suppress the Eagles.

There is not much suspense. The Eagles lost 85 to 99 at home to the Nets. Although Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Boozer scored 69 points together, and the three scored 20+ points, the loss is inevitable. The Eagles lacked one of the league's strongest small forwards and an inside defensive gate.

However, Boozer scored 21+15 in the face of Kenyon Martin. His points and rebounds set a new career high.

But the Eagles also have something to say in this game: Our team traded Kukoc for the No. [-] pick!

As for the big dog... whoever he loves.

……

……

After losing to the Nets, the Eagles' record became 23 wins and 21 losses. After a day of rest, the second home game came back to back, playing the Pistons and the Kings.

On February 2, the Eagles first ushered in the menacing Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons this season felt a bit "cynical" and felt that the whole world was targeting them. The Nets deliberately sent them to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, and the Eagles "deliberately" wanted to beat them in the eighth place.

This made the Pistons feel the humiliation of the Raptors. The Pistons now feel like the 12-13 season, when the Big Four of the Nets were first formed, they deliberately lost at the end of the regular season and abused the Raptors.

Originally, at the end of the season, the Nets deliberately gave up the first place to the Pistons in order to avoid the mighty McGrady. After entering 2003, the Magic began to decline, and finally fell to eighth in the East, but now it is a little earlier.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

Coach Carlisle was robbed of the rookie coach of the season by coach Kruger, and Ben Wallace was robbed of the best defensive player by Ratliff. Coupled with the humiliation of being "picked up", the Pistons exploded in this game and caught the Eagles off guard.

The main reason is that I didn't expect that the Pistons would play so aggressively in the middle of the season. It was a violent physical confrontation, and the Eagles were caught off guard.

Moreover, the Hawks themselves have been on a tight schedule since the middle of last month. The state of the past two days has been average. In the belief that the Pistons will desperately want to win, the Eagles were wiped out.

71 to 91, the Eagles suffered a two-game losing streak at home...

Immediately after that, it was back-to-back. Before the Eagles could breathe a sigh of relief, the Kings, the second super team in the Western Conference, came...

The Kings were ready to do big things last summer. On the basis of the original five tigers Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Webber, Divac and high-quality substitutes Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson, they introduced Jim Jackson, one of the former Dallas 3Js, last season. Potential, this team lineup is more terrifying than last season.

Playing against the Eagles who were in the fatigue period, the Kings easily won the game 112 to 91. The Eagles suffered a three-game losing streak at home...

……

Finally, on February 2th, the Eagles' fifth opponent in six consecutive home games was finally able to abuse food, and the Eagles almost burst into tears!

Cavaliers!
This team is digging a solid huge hole so that the little emperor will have no hope and no way out in the future... No, it is to welcome the arrival of the little emperor and selflessly provide other teams with victories.

The Cavaliers are like a philanthropist this year. Whoever encounters a record crisis, they will decisively send it up, unplug their clothes, wash them, and wait for the opponent's luck.

The Eagles finally stopped their losing streak at home. The three Eagles combined to score 90 points and won a 123-91 victory, raising the winning percentage to more than 24%. 23 wins and [-] losses...

……

……

If the three-game losing streak has any "benefits" for the Eagles, it is that the loss was early, the point difference was opened early, and the main players of the Eagles took a long time to rest.

Not to mention, the physical crisis of the Hawks' main players was fully relieved by the forced "rest" for almost a week. When they played against the Cavaliers, it was already visible that Jason Terry and Prince's touch began to recover.

This is a huge plus for the Eagles.

Because, the next opponent is the most terrifying devil in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers who have ruled the league for the past three years!
The Hawks host the Los Angeles Lakers in their last game before the All-Star break.

And the Lakers, who are also the last game before the All-Star Weekend, came to Atlanta as early as when the Eagles played the Cavaliers!
