From today on is the king

Chapter 823. 822. The Jealousy of the Strongest Team in History
Every time Liu Mang came to New York, things would happen.

Every time he came to Madison Square Garden, Liu Mang couldn't hold back his urge to pretend.

Not to mention mocking the US team. In recent years, the US men's basketball team has been ridiculed in the United States.

This time Liu Mang blew up the scorers!
In Charlotte, Boss Joe, who watched the Eagles game on a whim, saw Liu Mang's post-match interview, and pulled his team's players out to practice early the next morning, so that they could see the Eagles fight to the death in the next game.

Just so confident, the Bobcats have only won two games so far this season, but so confident...

In Los Angeles, a No. 8 player who was working hard to hold the fifth place in the Western Conference was so angry that he practiced for a few more hours.

As for McGrady, who was on the same team as Liu Mang, chasing Liu Mang to no avail, he could only silently watch Liu Mang pretending to be aggressive. However, McGrady didn’t care too much. In an interview, he compared it and said: Well, no one has won the scoring title. It’s not a big deal...

After the game between the Eagles and the Knicks, apart from Liu Mang's moments of acting aggressively in the holy land of basketball at least twice a year, the biggest concern that the Eagles have aroused is that they really started a fast-paced offense!
The rhythm of these two games can be compared with the Suns!

The records of the two teams are already the same, both are 10 wins and 2 losses.

The Suns are now averaging 109.5 points per game, and the Hawks are averaging 107.5 points. The gap is not that big. However, the Hawks got their points per game up by playing against the Rockets. There is still a gap between the Suns' stable average of around 110 points per game.

The media therefore deduced that there is an incredible answer: Do the Hawks want to compete with the Suns for the title of the most aggressive offensive team?

……

……

"Ace, why are you dressed like this?" Rasheed Wallace asked strangely.

"I'm afraid of the cold, winter is coming." Liu Mang put on his mask and hat.

"But why do you even wear sunglasses?"

"...I'm allergic to sunlight!"

"..."

Seeing Liu Mang wrapped up like a terrorist, Rasheed Wallace was confused, but he still took Liu Mang out together.

After the two small-ball games, the Eagles players played quite happily. They averaged 98 shots per game in the two games, a significant increase from the previous average of 85 shots per game.

Small ball tactics not only bring more shots and more points, but also more rebounds. Liu Mang is one of the beneficiaries.

The one who has benefited the most, of course, is Kwame Brown. In 14 games, Kwame Brown averaged 12.5 points and [-] rebounds per game. He performed quite well and became the team's top scorer in the frontcourt.

Liu Mang benefited the most from the offensive end. Scoring became easier. McGrady’s offensive restraint and the offensive threat brought by the team’s athletic ability. In the end, Liu Mang, the scoring core, benefited.

The new rules, coupled with the offensive style of running and bombing, have greatly benefited Liu Mang, a player with comprehensive scoring ability.

The coaching staff works overtime every day, and they can always see problems after each game. Although the Rockets were beaten and confused, the Eagles coaching staff also saw a problem. Facing an opponent with a huge restraint force inside, even if the opponent cannot catch the ball, they can be slowed down by the opponent.

The Eagles' road trip continued. The second day after the Knicks, the Eagles came to another big city in the East - Boston.

After arriving in Boston, Liu Mang was pulled together by Rasheed Wallace, who had a strong love for education and art, and went to Cambridge, which is across the river from Boston. It was said to be a city, but it was actually a large town connected to Boston. The population was only tens of thousands, but the people here were very rich.

This is the best education place in the United States, with two very famous universities.

But... Although the city is called Cambridge, the most famous university is not called Cambridge University. Cambridge University is in the UK...

The most famous universities here are Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Rasheed Wallace took Liu Mang to visit the university town.

As for why Liu Mang dressed like that, Rasheed Wallace understood after arriving at the university town across the Charles River where there are many students.

Before Liu Mang came to Boston, he saw the results of a survey on the Internet. The city in the East that hates the Eagles the most is not New Jersey, where the Nets are located, or Detroit, where the Pistons are located, but Boston.

According to the replies from the Celtics fans in the post, Liu Mang has a general understanding of the mentality of the Celtics fans, mainly because the legend of the Celtics has been shaken.

The Celtics are considered the second most legendary team in NBA history, mainly because of their eight consecutive championships. Overall, they are not as continuous as the legend of the Lakers with 15 championships.

Therefore, Celtics fans have a great dislike for the defending champion. The team they hated the most last season was the Spurs, and now the team they hate the most is the Eagles.

And Cambridge and Boston are separated by a river. They are actually a metropolitan area. Both support the Celtics. Of course, the Eagles will be unhappy.

Seeing the hideous Rasheed Wallace, he naturally gave his middle finger as a greeting.

Rasheed Wallace originally wanted to bathe in the brilliance of education in the holy place of education and cultivate his sentiments. He didn't expect that he would be beaten at any time before he got off the bus and walked into the university gate. He could only end this university tour hastily...

……

After resting overnight in Boston, on November 11, the second consecutive away game of the Eagles, the Eagles' pre-game training began.

At this stage of the game, the first game month has come to an end, and the number of games lost by the teams in the league has also begun to increase.

Only the Pistons, with 12 wins and 1 loss in the start, are flying!

The main reason is that coach Philip Saunders has a very good relationship with Billups. The first time Billups gained a firm foothold and got rid of the title of parallel importer, it was the first 01 games in the Timberwolves in the 02-82 season.

So in history, coach Sanders had just taken over the Pistons in the summer of 05, and he led the Pistons to a record-high 05 wins in the 06-64 season with an aging lineup.

Now taking over the Pistons one year ahead of schedule, the lineup is one year younger, especially when Ben Wallace, who is aging very fast, is at his peak. More importantly, Chris Bosh is more familiar to Coach Sanders than Rasheed Wallace.

Except for the Pistons being killed by the Rockets, who are usually 11-[-] in away games, the other [-] games showed strong dominance.

The remaining two strongest teams are the Suns and the Eagles, who lost two games.

Other teams began to lose more games. Except for the top three teams, the Heat and Spurs, who lost the least, also lost four games.

A more chaotic league has brought strong teams to lose earlier than in previous years.

The main reason is that many teams that used to win with iron and blood defense were blown to pieces at the beginning of the game, and everyone couldn't adapt.

On the contrary, the Eagles, Suns, and Pistons, who have changed their lineups and styles of play, have made good use of the current rules.

But this does not mean that the Eagles dare to relax easily. Playing the Celtics today cannot be as casual as playing the Knicks, and the Knicks almost overturned, making the Eagles players and coaching staff more vigilant.

Opponents in the regular season cannot have as much research time as in the playoffs. They only start researching a day or two before the game. If it is back-to-back, there will be very little research.

The players rested for an afternoon yesterday and got the scouting report to take a look for themselves. The coaching staff is studying countermeasures. Before coming to the rented university arena for tactical training this morning, they told the players the researched tactical strategy, and then started training.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Eagles came to the North Shore Garden Stadium. Today's game started very early, mainly because Boston, which is located in the northeast region, is too cold!

Especially at night in Boston, there is a kind of weather in the United States called Boston Storm, which is what it is about. In winter, after nightfall in Boston, there will be a blizzard from time to time, and then at dawn, hey, the snow has stopped.

Therefore, the most profitable workers in Boston are winter road cleaners who can mechanize operations. They work for four months and spend a whole year in style. They are the snow cleaners in Boston.

Liu Mang is very motivated today, facing a team with 16 championship banners, he is always so motivated.

At [-]:[-] p.m., Liu Mang and his teammates came to the stadium together. As players of the visiting team, they received a "kind" greeting upon entering.

Liu Mang felt the feeling of being resented by the Celtics fans as the defending champion, and he quite enjoyed it.

Liu Mang thought it was a good feeling to be envied by the fans of the team that won the most championships in the history of the league.

Liu Mang's attitude affected his teammates, and they were not afraid. After Liu Mang was the last to enter the field, the whole team walked into the field with their heads held high.

The Celtics' starters followed, with Antoine Walker first and Pierce last.

At 04:30, the game started on time, a handful of chalk was sprinkled, and Liu Mang walked onto the court after being booed.

The starting lineup of the Eagles has not changed, and it is so stable that other teams are jealous. Other teams can only envy the Eagles for their "good luck".
The Celtics' starting lineup is Payton, Delonte West, Pierce, Antoine Walker, Lieve LaFrentz.

Seeing that the twin stars are there, Antoine Walker played a failed season in the Trail Blazers and was sent back to the Celtics for free, that is, the Celtics had a few draft picks... Liu Mang seemed to dream back to two years ago, and the record of the Celtics this season is similar to that of two years ago. The start of 6 wins and 6 losses happened to be in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. The core players are Pierce and Antoine Walker. location.

However, Liu Mang feels that the Celtics only have a [-]% winning percentage this season, which is purely unlucky. Who will let a large number of stars travel eastward this season?

Otherwise, a lineup like the Celtics would be enough to compete for the top four in the 02-03 season, but this season they have to compete with the Nets for the top spot in the division to be able to enter the top four by virtue of the top spot in the division.

Whether the two teams are hostile to each other or unilaterally hostile, it will affect the players of the two teams. After the players of the two teams enter the field, because of the strong hostility of the fans towards the defending champion, no one greets the opposing team.

Kwame Brown, who had just stepped onto the field and waited to provoke the fans of the away team by patting chalk on the sidelines, jumped on the field. Liu Mang suddenly received a task...

"Ding...Legendary mission: The jealousy of the strongest team in history."
