From today on is the king

Chapter 580 579. First in the Alliance!

Liu Mang obviously strengthened his personal offensive desire today. In the first three games, Liu Mang chose to pass the ball more, but today he chose to shoot more by himself.

The Hornets also gave face. They tried to maintain the posture of a strong team and lasted until the end. Every time the Eagles almost completely opened up the point difference, Hornets coach Tim Fried would make adjustments.

The strength of the Hornets' three perimeters is indeed very strong, and they will respond positively after each adjustment. Baron Davis, yell, he will still come up once or twice to contain the Eagles' defense, and then Mashburn and David Wesley will do a wave.

But in a few moments, after the Eagles' defense tightened up, the Hornets could only try their best to keep the point difference from being further widened. When the Hornets dropped one or two of the three outside lines, the Eagles' rotation lineup took off.

Liu Mang and Baron Davis are about the same in strength, but Liu Mang has a better brain, and he is not stingy in playing.

The most important thing is that with strong teammates, you can do whatever you want!Liu Mang completely suppressed Baron Davis on the scene. In the fourth quarter, the Hornets couldn't hold back, and the Eagles re-appointed the starting lineup. The Hornets' three outsiders had been playing hard for the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles opened up the point difference. When the fourth quarter was officially suspended, the Hawks opened the gap to 89 points 67-22.

The Hornets have no way to announce their surrender. With only 5 minutes left, it is basically impossible to chase 22 points.

In the end, the Eagles beat the Hornets 101 to 84 and won four consecutive victories.

刘莽全场打了33分钟，26投13中，三分球6中3，罚球10中8，拿到37分5板3助攻！

Baron Davis made 22 of 8 shots. Although he made 3 three-pointers, he made 11 three-pointers. The most important thing is that he only caused two fouls in the entire game after playing for 41 minutes, and he only made two shots. His strong body was in vain. In addition to assists, points and rebounds were crushed by Liu Mang, and he scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

Liu Mang won the contest with Baron Davis!

……

After beating the Hornets, the Eagles arrived in Seattle overnight, and played back-to-back games against the Sonics at 7 o'clock the next night.

In the past summer, the Sonics used the new version of the three musketeers to strike up conversations with top point guards everywhere, and then there was no star player to beat them. Kidd didn't even go to the Spurs. Will he leave the team that has just reached the Finals for two consecutive years and go to a non-playoff team with an uncertain future?Even Kassel looked down on them, and went to get bored with the wolf king.

Not to mention these two top free agent point guards, they didn’t even get a starting-level point guard. In the end, they only signed the former Spurs backup point guard Antonio Daniels, who was the No.

Ever since, the Sonics can only point to Brent Barry to organize the offense. Brent Barry was not originally a point guard, but he was forced to become a point guard in the past two years.

Ray Allen, who had already planned to develop into a pitcher, also picked up the offense after failing to introduce a good point guard, and he was worse than Brent Barry, averaging 4 assists and 2.8 turnovers per game.

It’s no wonder that Ray Allen’s offensive organization has deteriorated. After arriving in the Supersonics last season, it was the Supersonics management and head coach McMillan who made him decide to make a complete transformation. In the summer, he was also very confident that he could at least attract Cassell.

What bothered the Sonics most was their highly publicized potential power forward, Radmanovic, who was regarded by the team as one of the new three musketeers. His progress was extremely slow. The start of this year was not as good as last season. Since the beginning, he has averaged five or six three-pointers per game, but only scored one three-pointer in four games. He is completely different from the promising big man last season. Pitchers are even more incomparable.

For the Sonics, when they deployed a lineup of Barry, Ray Allen, Lewis, and Radmanovich, those who heard the rebounds were sad and those who saw them shed tears. The defensive rebounds can still rely on blocking, and the offensive rebounds are basically equal. In the past four games, the rebounding leader is Lewis with an average of 5.5 rebounds per game...

Although the Eagles played back-to-back, Ratliff and Stockton did not play, but they did not have the physical problem of playing back-to-back last season. The depth of the lineup is too strong.

The main reason is Liu Mang. He does not have the problem of lack of physical strength. When other teammates have no physical crisis and can play as usual, Liu Mang can play the same role as usual. Against a team like the Supersonics that basically has no inside offense, Kwame Brown is still young, but his inside effect is the same as Ratliff's, or even better. He can defend against pick-and-rolls.

Ray Allen and Lewis shot desperately. These two are really accurate. Ray Allen made 9 of 5 three-pointers and scored 33 points. Lewis scored 9 of 4 three-pointers and scored 32 points.

The Eagles are also willing to run and play, avoiding the touch problem caused by back-to-back effects, and constantly hitting the basket. Driven by Liu Mang, the Eagles and the Supersonics launched a confrontation.

In the end, under the leadership of Liu Mang, the Eagles beat the Sonics 103 to 90 and won five consecutive victories.

Liu Mang’s shooting percentage was very high today. Neither Ray Allen nor Barry was a particularly good defensive player. Liu Mang shot 19 of 14 shots from the field. He scored 35 points and 9 assists. He was almost 30+10, but he scored 30+ for the second consecutive game!

……

After the Eagles won five consecutive victories, the road trip continued. On November 11, they came to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away.

The Bulls, of course, have to be bad. Getting the God of Basketball has consumed their luck for decades. The No. 02 pick in [-] is gone.

Although Kirk Hinrich, an extremely powerful point guard in college, was selected in the 03 generation, he was not as powerful as imagined.

Hinrich is solid, not like a rookie, but the Bulls are not a championship team, not even a playoff-level team. Hinrich is solid at one point and can defend at another point, so it’s useless. Everyone else is a defensive sieve. The only defensive center Tyson Chandler is still undergoing surgery before the start of the season, and he won’t be back until March at least.

In today's game, Hinrich did a good job of restricting Liu Mang. He made 33 of 13 shots against Liu Mang.

Liu Mang also shot well, no matter how good his defense is, he will make waves when he should, and his own rebounds exploded today!

After Kwame Brown came off the bench, Kwame Brown played the best game of his career so far against his old high school rival Eddie Curry, who had taunted him so much the previous two years.

After the official suspension of Ratliff in the first quarter to rest, Ratliff was not replaced again, because Kwame Brown got 5 rebounds in the last 8 minutes of the first quarter, and Liu Manglang's shots were all assisted by Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown grabbed it so well, and Liu Mang played even more. In 31 minutes of playing time, he threw 33 times, made 15 of 6 three-pointers, scored 40 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, and scored 40 points for the first time this season!
Kwame Brown played 39 minutes off the bench, scoring 22 points and 20 rebounds for the first time in his career. He also grabbed an offensive rebound and passed it to Liu Mang and Jason Terry. Eddie Curry, who has no desire, only scored 6 points and 22 rebounds.

For the first time after entering the NBA, Kwame Brown had an advantage when he played against his old teammate Eddie Curry!
Because Kwame Brown was so active, the Eagles didn’t have much grudge against the Bulls. They didn’t even have Jay Williams, the only one who made Liu Mang unhappy. The Eagles wanted to beat the opponent easily, but the grievances between Kwame Brown and Eddie Curry continued from high school to the present.

As a result, the Bulls encountered a bloody massacre with a difference of 57 points at home 99 to 42!

Six straight wins!
The Eagles got off to a strong start!

It just so happened that both the Pacers and Timberwolves lost today, and the record of the two teams has become 6 wins and 1 loss. American fans suddenly discovered that the Eagles, which they hadn't paid much attention to before, actually ascended to the top of the league!
