From today on is the king

Chapter 805. 804. Five-game winning streak

科比46分7板11助攻，被刘莽的43分4板4助攻和麦迪的30分7板12助攻击败，赛后引起了巨大的反响。

The influence of superstars on a team is in all aspects, and they may not feel it. Like Tracy McGrady, he tried his best to integrate into the team through defense, and the team also worked hard to integrate Tracy McGrady into the team's defense. However, in the process of integration, the influence of superstars is too strong, and McGrady's style of play is also changing the Eagles.

The combination of McGrady's temperament and the Eagles' temperament has brought a new temperament, which is unrestrained yet wretched, wretched and somewhat unrestrained, turning the Eagles from an iron-blooded team that wears defense into a more unrestrained team.

The boldness of the Eagles in the past was mainly due to Liu Wei, but now the boldness of the Eagles is that after McGrady joined the team, the whole team began to be bold... A playmaker and a scorer have completely different types of influence on the team. Liu Wei made the whole team cooperate for him, while McGrady sorted out the teammate's style of play, used himself to drive his teammates, and brought his own temperament to his teammates!

He can still score and organize offenses. Freeing Liu Mang to score easily, the key is to be able to score by himself without too much impact on Liu Mang's scoring. Although McGrady did reduce Liu Mang's shot rights, it made Liu Mang more efficient!
Seeing that after McGrady came to the Eagles, he was like an upstart, taking rebounds and assists at will, and scoring as much as he wanted, and it didn't affect Liu Mang's scoring!

It is said that the Heat and the Wizards are the biggest winners of the summer trade, and now it seems that the Eagles will not lose to these two teams!

Replacing a top ten superstar in the league with a top three superstar in the league will have no worse effect on the Eagles than Raheem!
Even if Barnes and Ratliff were not sent away to help the Magic clear Juwan Howard's garbage contract, just say that Raheem was replaced by McGrady, the deal was a big profit, and Ratliff and Barnes left, and the talented Josh Smith was selected.

……

Playing the Lakers is the start of the Eagles' four-game streak.

After defeating the Lakers, the Eagles challenged the Trail Blazers and Kings away on November 11th and 4th.

The old flying mice Damon Stoudemire and Van Exel, who had passed their peaks, lost Antoine Walker and could only use Derek Anderson, who had also passed their peaks, to play small forward. The only star Zach Randolph was a big brush, and the center was Joel Pulzbilla.

With such a lineup, who would have imagined that the Portland local tyrants, which were still in full swing three or four years ago, would suddenly become a concentration camp of junk contracts?

After Randolph scored 20+10 in the third grade last season, although he did not get the approval of the media and fans, the Blazers owner immediately gave a three-year 3 million early renewal, because Randolph said he would apply for a deal if he did not renew the contract.

3 million in 3600 years, to renew the contract with a 23-year-old 20+10 power forward, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss.

Who knows, just after renewing his contract, Randolph gained more than ten pounds in the new season, and his statistics dropped in all directions. Points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, field goal percentage, playing time... all fell, only the number of turnovers and fouls, and technical fouls soared. In the first four games, there was a sixth foul and two technical fouls...

This is not the scariest thing for the Trail Blazers. Even if he gets a big contract, Randolph is still a power forward with an average of 15+8 per game. Barely speaking, a 3-year 3600 million contract extension plus one year left on the rookie contract, which is 4 years 3800 million, does not seem to be a loss.

The most terrifying thing for the Blazers is the team atmosphere!
Randolph actually got involved with gangsters and lured his rookie teammates to smoke illegal drugs. This was discovered by Derek Anderson, a postgraduate student at the University of Kentucky School of Medicine, and two factions formed in the Blazers.

After the police intervened in the investigation, the name of the Trail Blazers Prison Team came into being in the past summer. How could the prison team only have prisoners? Besides Derek Anderson who may be a future doctor, the Blazers also have a man of God—Ruben Patterson, who claims to be the Kobe Terminator.

The Portland Jails are known for...

Don’t try hard to play against the Trail Blazers. No one on the other side can understand anyone. Liu Mang throws up when he goes up. McGrady organizes the offense. Liu Reck throws more happily than before.

Before the start of the game, when watching the scout report with Rasheed Wallace, Liu Mang knew that there are so many amazing players among the older generation of NBA players who entered the NBA after finishing college after hearing Rasheed Wallace's introduction!

97比84，靠着刘莽三节28分和镇场子的麦迪拿到17分6板8助攻，老鹰队轻松击败开拓者，拿到四连胜。

……

On November 11, the Eagles flew from Portland to Sacramento, the capital of California, early in the morning.

The league gave the Eagles four relatively easy games to allow the Eagles to adapt to the start of the new season, and then immediately gave the Eagles a tough one. The third game of the season was broadcast live across the United States and challenged the Kings away.

The Kings almost overturned the Timberwolves in the second round of last season. This year Webber is back to health, the Lakers collapsed, and the Spurs did not perform well in the playoffs last year. The Kings should have become the second seed in the West after the Timberwolves.

Liu Mang led his teammates, preparing to take advantage of the strength of the four-game winning streak to deal with the Kings.

Who knew that the gorgeous Kings would completely collapse this season...

The Kings are regarded as the strongest team in the West after the Timberwolves. However, the Timberwolves lost four games in a row at the beginning...

As for the Kings, the start was only 1 win and 3 losses, the main reason being that the defense collapsed!

Doug Christie’s aging came too suddenly. Last season, he was still on the second defense, and he was squeezed into the second defense by Kobe and Kidd, and even Duncan was squeezed into the second defense. He seemed to be at his peak, and he was not a physical player. Everyone thought he would grow old and get stronger. Who knows whether he should grow old or not. At the beginning of this season, his open three-point shooting percentage dropped from 30.00% last season to [-]% to [-]%.
In the first four games, Doug Christie only made 15 of 1 three-pointers!
This is not the most important thing. Doug Christie was the gatekeeper of the Kings' outside defense last season.

On the offensive end, Bibby and Webb still cooperated tacitly, but when the ball reached Doug Christie, the offense stopped immediately. The more Doug Christie couldn't make the shot, the less people would rotate to defend him, and he had no chance to pass the ball to open teammates, and Princeton couldn't function.

Princeton is like this, paying attention to five players. When Weber is injured, Divac can barely support the team's operation, but for Doug Christie, no one else in the Kings can make up for his loss here!

A blue-collar shooting guard who does not occupy the ball, has three points, can be selected as the first or second defense, and can average 4 assists per game based on his understanding of the system when the ball is not much. There is no second in the league.

In other words, the five tigers of the Kings team have almost no possibility of copying this family!
At the beginning of the season, they were actively looking for a deal, probably the Kings. This is also a matter of no choice. The owner has no money, and the government will not build a new arena. They can only guarantee the team's income if they maintain continuous competitiveness. Princeton is gorgeous, but every player is expensive.

In fact, it doesn't matter, you can't find a perfect fit, just find one that is barely enough. In the past two years, Divac is on the verge of retiring, so he just found Brad Miller to make do.

Just get a makeshift one like Gerald Wallace...

A player who played less and less playing time last season and averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds per game in the season. This season, he joined the new team Bobcats and started 13+5+3... This data is almost the same as Doug Christie's data in previous seasons. The most important thing is that in addition to his lack of defensive experience, Gerald Wallace has learned a lot from Doug Christie's defense...

If Doug Christie just collapsed defensively, the key is that he also collapsed offensively.

Although Bibby and Webber cooperated well this season, it can be clearly seen that Webber's defense has degraded to scum. Bibby's short defense is not good, let alone Peja, who is known for passive defense.

Adelman is not someone who thinks more about players. He is similar to Pat Riley, but he doesn't think about the future of players.

The Five Tigers of the Kings have cooperated for so many years, and the relationship is quite good. Brad Miller also quickly integrated into the circle of the Five Tigers. Because Adelman sought to trade Doug Christie and Webber, the Kings had internal strife even though their strength had declined!

It was a bad game, and now it's getting worse.

Originally, Liu Mang and others thought it was going to be a tough fight, and they were ready to go all out for the back-to-back match. Who knew, the 24-kilogram golden sledgehammer was sacrificed. Unexpectedly, the Kings collapsed before they even used their strength!
113 to 91, five consecutive victories came too easily!

Liu Mang never expected to win five consecutive victories so easily: Could it be that Xiao Ye worked so hard to lead this group of teammates who are getting more and more powerful in grabbing shots?
Often after a prosperous age, great turmoil in the league followed. In the 2003-2004 season, most of the new, middle and old generations of stars were at their peak or at the end of their peak or had already begun to show their superstar demeanor. There were as many as eight or nine teams that seemed to be able to compete for the championship, which can be called a prosperous age.

As the saying goes, prosperity comes with decline, especially after the prosperity, there are rules changes that shake the order of the alliance.

With 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Liu Mang played 35 minutes. He made 17 of 9 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and 9 of 7 free throws.Let these two dunk!
Liu Mang looked at the three annoying high school students with resentment: Pass the ball to the young master, and the young master shoots. If you don't score, you can still grab rebounds!If you make a shot, it is a three-pointer. If you don’t make a shot, you get a rebound and you get two points and a rebound. How wonderful!
Liu Mang crazily despised the three high school students.

However, I am very happy to win five consecutive victories. I thought it would be very difficult to play against the Kings, but I didn't expect that the opponent was really about to disband.

Liu Mang has nothing to regret about this, his goal now is his next opponent: Boss Qiao, die!

Playing bobcats, Liu Mang said that he would abuse the food!
