From today on is the king

Chapter 594 593. This nickname is really real!
"Ace, look at the news, you're so pissed off! I'm so pissed that I want to jump off the plane!" Jason Terry has been complaining to his teammates since he met at the airport at noon, and finally arrived at Liu Mang's place.

The previous teammates gave Jason Terry a very satisfactory reaction, and they all complained about their own injustice, but Jason Terry was still not satisfied, so he came to find Liu Mang, a poisonous tongue, and scolded those reporters.

But... Liu Mang is so different.

Liu Mang pointed to the large cabinet under the chair and in front of the cabin: "Here are the life jackets. Our chartered planes are equipped with parachutes. Please use them in that cabinet."

"..." Jason Terry almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, "Ace! Aren't you angry? You are ranked second in the scoring list! They still can't understand you!"

"Just get used to it. It's impossible for me to be second in scoring all the time. We mainly focus on team basketball." Liu Wei was very open.

In 9 games, Liu Mang has reached 40+ twice!
For any star, this is an amazing performance. Liu Mang's scoring average has also risen to 28 points per game, but in the last few games, it seems that he has shot a bit too much and his shooting percentage is a bit low. The average shot per game has abruptly increased to 25 times...

This is unreasonable and unscientific, so the media’s praise for Liu Mang is not as violent as Liu Mang’s occasional 40+ points in the past two years. It may also be that Liu Mang has made people think that it is not difficult for him to score 40 points. After all, he is one of the few in NBA history. A scorer who can score 50 points in a rookie season.

On the contrary, if Liu Mang continues to maintain such a high-scoring high-scoring performance, it is very likely that he will be given the title of a scoring brush.

But generally speaking, people are still very satisfied with Liu Mang's explosive performance at the beginning. Except for taking a little more shots, the average shooting rate of 25 shots per game is only 40.00%.

What makes the Eagles most aggrieved is that they beat the Nets in two consecutive games. People are not discussing how strong the Eagles have become, but that the Nets' strength has declined this year!
The main reason is that Kidd and Byron Scott had a heated argument in the locker room the night after the Nets were eliminated by the Hawks in two consecutive games. Then the next day, Byron Scott hadn’t returned to New Jersey. The Nets held a press conference early in the morning to appease Kidd and fired Byron Scott.

A head coach who led the team to the finals for two consecutive years in the past two years was fired after just 10 games in the new season. This is even more sensational than the Magic's dismissal of Doug Rivers, the best coach who has not proved himself in the playoffs.

Then people subconsciously took the Eagles' victory over the Nets, as if the Nets were killed by the Eagles because of the decline in the strength of the team star and the head coach.

The Eagles players watched the two games they worked so hard to win, but they didn't get much positive praise, and they couldn't argue that they fired the head coach, so they could only silently curse the media in circles.

Of course, Liu Mang is not depressed?Certainly not, but he had happier things to do now.

"The roar of the gods: The Eagles' home fighting spirit is high, the players' excitement is increasing, and the morale of the visiting team is suppressed. Trigger conditions: the Eagles are playing at home, and Rasheed Wallace makes his debut."

His own team can be regarded as the home of the devil!With the addition of Rasheed Wallace, the Eagles not only added a top defensive insider in the league, but also brought something even better. Not to mention Liu Mang's excitement, he is now happy. The media's evaluation is a trivial matter, and the game is not played by the media's mouth.

Of course Liu Mang was not happy that his own team and his good performance had not received a fair evaluation, but after the happy things were offset, Liu Mang was very calm.

Only when you calm down can you think rationally. The performance of the Eagles in the playoffs in the past two years was indeed quite disappointing. They failed to make it out of the Eastern Conference. When the core lineup of the Eagles has not changed and the data of the introduced Rasheed Wallace is generally not recognized, it is normal for their own team to be looked down upon.

Just like the original Pistons, they were swept by the Celtics and the Nets in the first two years, and the Celtics who swept the Pistons in the 01-02 season were easily defeated by the Nets, which meant that the Pistons were no match for the Nets in the first two years. The third-best record in the Eastern Conference since then, which is so much better than the Nets' record in the previous two years, is still not optimistic.

Eagles to work hard!The Eagles are going to slap those media in the face!
After playing the Nets, the Eagles had no rest time. They flew to Indianapolis at noon the next day, and ushered in the second and last back-to-back of this month. On the 17th and 18th, they had two back-to-back consecutive away games against the Pacers and Hornets.

The Eagles embarked on back-to-back away games with the mentality of sweeping everything to prove themselves, and then... were knocked to the ground.

Against the Pacers, they lost 89 to 93. Against the Hornets, Mashburn scored 48 points. Although Liu Mang also scored 30 points, the Eagles also played well overall, but they couldn't stand the Hornets. The two teams scored a super high score of 121 to 139.

The Eagles just wanted to slap the media in the face to prove themselves, but they immediately suffered a two-game losing streak.

Being too aggressive is sometimes bad. The two games have a common feature, that is, the mentality of the Eagles is to win a big victory over the opponent. The Eagles’ two consecutive fierce battles with the Nets cost the Eagles a lot. It seems that the first game is not difficult to win. It was only in the second half that the Nets collapsed, and the physical consumption was a bit high. When playing against the Pacers and Hornets, the defensive end became a little slack.

Especially when playing against the Pacers, the offense was also bad. When it was time to play against the Hornets, they were completely fighting against the Hornets.

The Eagles, who went to the away game with the idea of ​​a big victory, were seized by the two teams and gave the Eagles a head-on blow.

The Eagles' record suddenly changed from 8 wins and 1 loss to 8 wins and 3 losses.

This slap in the face did not succeed, but gave the media an excuse.

Fortunately, after the Eagles returned to the home court, their mentality finally stabilized. First, it was 101 to 80. On both ends of the offense and defense, Liu Mang abused Arenas, who finally got a big contract and forced the league to revise the salary rules for the second-round pick. He defended Arenas to 25 of 9 while scoring 17 points and 5 assists. He only scored 14 points and 4 assists.

Immediately after the loss of Payton and Cassel, the younger version of the Bucks was led by Michael Reed alone. Liu Mang once again suppressed the opponent. On the offensive end, the Eagles' offense was organized tightly, scoring 15 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.

Although back to No. [-] in the league, the title of the Eagles' "food abuser" seems to be really confirmed...
