From today on is the king

Chapter 929 928.16 consecutive victories! (asking for a ticket)
"Ace was so active today!" Mike Woodson said.

"Yeah, Ace usually shoots a lot. I don't know what happened today and he took us to practice tactical moves several times. Do we really think we are physical monsters like him? There will be games tonight. I'll go to bed. Dorell, remember to call me before eating a nutritious meal." McGrady responded, then gave instructions to his trainer, and went to the lounge to sleep.

"It's not bad for Estor to practice running positions. Tracy is now focusing on passing the ball, and both Jose and Andre can pass the ball. Astor's possession of the ball will not be so concentrated in the hands of Ace and Tracy." Stockton said after analyzing it.

Today's tactical training was directed by Stockton and Mike Woodson. After the training, Liu Mang dragged his teammates to run a few more tactics.

Liu Mang clarified the direction of development, combined with his own ideas, and determined that the things that can be significantly improved at this stage are his off-the-ball running ability, the fadeaway jump shot after waist and abdomen strength training, and the mid-range shot.

Although Liu Mang played a lot without the ball before, most of his off-ball running and catching shots were limited to cutting into the basket and three-pointers on both sides of the three-point line. The catching and shooting only accounted for one-third of the total points, and most of the points were offenses with the ball.

McGrady and Jason Terry both need to play with the ball, so Calderon and Iguodala's ability to hold the ball is difficult to play. The ball is too concentrated. If the ball can be more dispersed and the passing ability of the team's passers is used as much as possible, the team will become more difficult to defend.

Moreover, the tactics are formulated around Liu Reck. Liu Reck is the first candidate to catch and shoot, and Liu Reck's shot rights will not decrease.

Jason Terry is the sixth man and can't reduce the chance of singles, and McGrady is the same, so only Liu Mang will come.

After practicing tactical moves a few more times, Liu Mang went to the meeting room to watch the video of his team's tactical moves.

Just finished the running training. The running training is a simulated training that is close to perfect running. The players' running routes follow the tactics, but the situation in the game is definitely different. Liu Mang wants to see how his previous off-the-ball running is different from the training, and how to adjust to the opponent's defense...

……

By 06:30 in the afternoon, the Eagles' 57th game of the season was about to start.

The Eagles' current record is 49 wins and 7 losses, ranking first in the league, and the Mavericks' record is 39 wins and 21 losses, which can only rank fourth in the West.

Compared with playing the Suns, the attention of the Mavericks is not so high.

Now people are paying attention to this game whether the Eagles can continue their winning streak.

The Eagles once again won 15 consecutive victories, tying the team history record created by the Eagles last season, and breaking the team history record is just around the corner.

Needless to say Liu Mang now, the fighting spirit of the Eagles players is very strong, who doesn't want 18 consecutive victories?

This is especially true for Liu Mang. If he fails this time, even if there are 25 games left, it is almost impossible to win so many consecutive victories again. It is not an easy task to win more than ten consecutive victories.

The pressure to play the Mavericks is not as great as that of the Spurs and the Suns, but Prince and Rasheed Wallace take turns off today, which puts a lot of pressure on the Eagles.

But there is one thing that makes Liu Mang more at ease, that is, the Mavericks have been miserable recently.

The Mavericks got new aid Jamal Crawford, and the singles lineup became even better, but there was a problem with the time when Jamal Crawford joined the Mavericks. He joined the Mavericks almost halfway through the regular season and did not go through training camp. Jamal Crawford was the team's top singles scorer with more shots than Marbury in the Knicks. , playing extremely uncomfortable.

The main reason is that Crawford is not only the top scorer in the Knicks, but also the team's top shooter two years after the Bulls, so he will compete with Marbury when he comes to the Knicks.

I haven't played with new teammates in the summer, and the relationship is not that good. Since then, I have been grabbing the right to play, and the relationship with other people is not good.

In the original time and space, when Jason Terry went to the Mavericks, he was traded in the summer, went through a complete training camp, and had a painful period at the beginning of the season. The little general also let Jason Terry play for a period of time as a substitute to suppress Jason Terry's arrogance.

Crawford joined the Mavericks too late. The Mavericks have been in ups and downs recently. Crawford joined the Mavericks and played 16 games, with a record of only 9 wins and 7 losses. The Mavericks were still competing with the Spurs for the third place in the Western Conference.

This is also an important reason why coach Kruger knows that it is difficult to win 18 consecutive victories, so he still insists on taking turns to play against the Mavericks.

The starting lineup sent by the Eagles today is Liu Mang, McGrady, Korver, Muhammad, Kwame Brown.

Mavericks sent the lineup is Jamal - Crawford, Finley, Josh - Howard, Nowitzki, Dampier.

With Rasheed Wallace's roar detonating the scene, the roar of the gods was triggered, and the devil's home court started. The Mavericks' German chariot, which has been in a low ebb recently, feels too much pressure!

Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, and the two teams started their debut.

Kwame Brown faced Dampier, who claimed to be the second center in the West, and won the jump ball again, and the Eagles went first.

After receiving the ball, Liu Mang immediately passed it to McGrady, and then ran towards the frontcourt. The Mavericks retreated quickly. After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, he began to run tactics with his teammates.

After Liu Mang ran in from the middle, he took advantage of Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll, and went out to a position one step outside the free throw line. After catching Kwame-Brown's pick-and-roll and triggered the pick-and-roll master, Liu Mang threw away Dirk Nowitzki, who was changing defense, and Crawford, who was chasing him, and waited for the catch and shot...

"Huh... shit!" Liu Mang didn't catch the ball after running out of space, turned his head curiously to look at McGrady's position at a 45-degree angle on the right, but saw Finley, who was defending against McGrady, pounced on him, blocking himself from catching the ball!

McGrady adjusted from outside the three-point line, before Josh Howard, who defended Korver in the bottom corner, made a three-pointer!

Quite decisive, he shot when he got the chance, and McGrady made his first three-pointer at the start!
The Mavericks are too afraid of Liu Mang!Before Kobe Bryant scored more than 50 points in three quarters. Not long ago, Liu Mang scored 60 points in three quarters against the Warriors. The Mavericks felt the same way and were afraid of doing it again.

However, McGrady scored a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, which made the Mavericks' defense hesitant.

Liu Mang's previous running positions are generally traceable, nothing more than three-point catches and shots from the sidelines on both sides, but this time Liu Mang went around the pick-and-roll to the free throw line, and Finley had to go up to defend.

Although Liu Mang seldom catches and shoots in the middle distance, he basically plays singles or catches and shoots openly, but the Mavericks can't help defending!This guy is also very accurate in the mid-range shot, which made McGrady empty.

McGrady strictly implemented the belief that offensive players must shoot when they have a chance, and made a three-pointer at the beginning.

Liu Mang was a little surprised that the opponent let go of McGrady to defend him. He thought they were all bullies, and they all targeted him together. Then, after McGrady made a threat, his chance to run and shoot soon came.

The Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense is really good, but because of this, there will be a lot of open opportunities. McGrady is not limited to passing to Liu Mang, but will also pass to others. All Eagles players take the ball when they have a chance. If there is no chance, they pass it out. In the end, Liu Mang, the most active guy, got more opportunities to catch and shoot.

Crawford, who defended against Liu Mang, wanted to give up. He, Finley and Nowitzki saw that Liu Mang was like a long-distance runner. He kept running and running. When he was tired, he took two single hits. After he recovered, he continued to run again...

Liu Mang didn't have the physical stamina of Hamilton. Although he had skills, he had to slow down when he was tired. The stamina potion could replenish his physical stamina, but he had to wait until he was out of breath before continuing to run.

It was the first time Liu Mang played catch-and-shoot in the middle distance, and his shooting percentage was average, mainly because he was not used to it.

But it's not a big problem. The Eagles are playing according to tactics. Liu Mang has more than 30.00% mid-range shooting percentage and 40.00% three-point shooting percentage. Generally speaking, he is still a first-class catcher and shooter.

The offense of the Mavericks did have a huge problem. In the past, their singles were very orderly. First, Nowitzki, then Finley, then Josh Howard, and then others.

But now that Crawford replaced Harris as the starting point guard, he played the starting point guard, which is a big problem. After Jaylen Rose, who has averaged 20+ per game per game, his scoring average dropped sharply after Crawford started, from 22 points per game.

Except for Nowitzki, Crawford refused to accept it on the Mavericks, because his scoring ability is indeed not weaker than anyone on the Mavericks except Nowitzki.

However, the rest of the Mavericks passed the ball to others because they were not effective in singles. Crawford was different. He was used to playing on a bad team.

After the rest began, Liu Mang had to bear more defensive responsibilities. In this game, he went to defend Crawford alone, restricting Crawford's shots very badly. Crawford made 7 of 1 in the first quarter.

Crawford's 7-for-1 is not a big problem. He is strong, but Nowitzki only took 4 shots in the first quarter, so there is a problem. Everyone else only made two or three shots.
Taking advantage of the "sickness" of the Mavericks, the Eagles beat the Mavericks 24 to 18 in the first quarter!

The Mavericks have been top teams in the past few years, but this game has not received as much attention as the Hawks vs. the Suns, mainly because the Mavericks have fallen behind in the West.

Originally, the Mavericks were only two games away from the Spurs, and only seven games away from the Suns, but now they are more than a dozen games away.

While the Mavericks are still in the running-in period, the Eagles have entered the state of preparing for the playoffs. It is time to rest in rotation. Those who do not have a rotation will go all out and have a tacit understanding. Liu Mang increased his catch and shoot in the middle distance, but it only affected the scoring efficiency. His running catch and shoot did not affect the team's tactics.

Moreover, because Liu Mang changed his shooting position, he took more shots in the space from the free throw line to the 45-degree angle on both sides, and other people's shooting opportunities at the bottom corners on both sides became better, which made the space bigger!

Liu Mang only scored 8 points in the first quarter, and the Eagles only scored 24 points. As the Eagles players became more and more accustomed to Liu Mang's style of play, Liu Mang also got used to catching and shooting from high positions. The Eagles' scoring efficiency began to improve after Jason Terry came up.

Liu Mang scored 5 points in Jason Terry's singles in the second quarter, and he also scored 6 points in singles, with 11 points in a single quarter. His shooting efficiency began to increase, and the Eagles' offense became better and better.

The Mavericks are still in the process of running in. The Mavericks need a singles player like Crawford to make up for the weakness of Nash's lack of singles ability after leaving rookie point guard Harris, but how to use Crawford is a problem.

By the end of the three quarters, the Eagles were 81 to 65, leading the Mavericks by 16 points.

After three quarters, Liu Mang had already scored 29 points, and the Mavericks collapsed.

After Liu Mang scored 11 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, coach Kruger first called a timeout to replace the main players. The team has already led 98 to 77 by 21 points, and there is not much suspense.

最终，靠着麦迪11分14助攻4篮板，贾森-特里17分6助攻，刘莽拿到40分8板2助攻，老鹰队轻松击败小牛队拿到16连胜。

At the end of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang saw the miserable expression on the young general Johnson's face, and he had a deeper understanding of the coaching ability gap between the young general and Carlisle.

It's not just a single tactic. If the players are strong enough, singles tactics are fine. In addition to the five starters, the Mavericks' lineup also includes Stackhouse, Daniels, and even Harris on the bench. Singles are enough, but the young general does not have the courage of Coach Carlisle.

Liu Mang remembered that in the original history, the old Nelson was still with the Mavericks for half a year this season. It was the old Nelson who forced Jason Terry to play as a substitute to calm down, and Jason Terry began to accept that he could play as a substitute.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Eagles became the first team in the league to win 50 wins for two consecutive years!

Next, Liu Mang's target was placed on the next two opponents!

The Bucks don't matter, the key is the 76ers!
For Iverson, Liu Mang felt that this guy would not let him win 18 consecutive victories so easily.
