From today on is the king

Chapter 940 939. Tracy, do you want to have this ring?

The NBA has entered the end of the season. Every team and every player is working hard, either for victory, or for their own statistics, or for poor performance, all working hard for their own goals.

The only exception is the Eagles.

To use the adjective more than ten years later, it is "Buddha nature" playing.

The remaining opponents in March are all teams that want to hit the playoffs, or are stuck in the playoffs.

Matches against these opponents are very troublesome. The Eagles continue to take turns to polish their tactics. It’s good to win, and they don’t want to send out all the main players for one or two more wins. Prince has played in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

Rasheed Wallace will be 9 in September, that is to say, he has maintained a good state, has good physical fitness, and is mainly resistant to grass. Like Webb, he has been suffering from injuries since he was 31 years old.

The Hawks are playing the rest of March with the mentality of a championship team.

Liu Mang followed the running tactics in every game, practiced his off-the-ball skills, and tried the training of fadeaway jump shots and the combination of high post and fadeaways. He scored 37 points per game. In his fourth and final game against the Cavaliers this season, he went crazy and scored 45 points. He successfully surpassed Rick Barry and became the third person in the history of scoring 40+ points in a single season after Chamberlain and Jordan.

三月份的最后一场比赛，刘莽击败猛龙队的比赛中, 拿到44分11板，拿到赛季第30+次40+，成功成为第三个能在单赛季拿到30次40+的球员。

James and Milicic have become numb. In the other five games of the last seven games, Liu Mang played very casually. He used the game as training and followed the team’s plan.

However, when the two teams saw that Liu Mang was about to score 40 points, they started to attack frantically. This is what Liu Mang often encountered in the next seven games. It happened almost every game.

The opponents didn't want to be the background of Liu Mang's record, so when he was playing against the Cavaliers and Raptors, Liu Mang was determined to do it, and when he was flanked, he still took the ball and hit the opponent.

After the game in March, Liu Mang's scoring average was stable between 37.4 and 37.6 points per game. After killing the Raptors and scoring 44 points in the closing game in March, Liu Mang's scoring average returned to 37.6 points per game.

With 9 games left, it is certain that Liu Mang surpasses Jordan's average of 37.1 points per game. Liu Mang can even take a truce and lock the scoring champion, but the Eagles' tactics are designed around him.

And Liu Mang also wants to play the whole season, he hasn't played full time yet.

On McGrady's side, the average data per game is stable at 15.3 points and 12 assists. He is in the battle for the assist king with Nash. As long as he plays, he will get assists.

After the difficult schedule in March, the Eagles scored 5 wins and 2 losses in the last seven games, which was a very good performance. The Suns and Pistons lost relatively more during this period.

After the game in March, the Eagles improved their record to 62 wins and 11 losses, continuing to rank first in the East, the Pistons ranked second with 57 wins and 16 losses, the Nets ranked third with 42 wins and 31 losses, and the Heat ranked fourth with 53 wins and 20 losses.

西部那边，太阳队58胜16负排在西部第一，超音速53胜19负排在第二，马刺队52胜21负排在第三，小牛队49胜24负排在第四，火箭队47胜26负排在第五，国王队45胜28负排在第六。

There are only ten teams in the East and West that have a chance to win 50 wins or have already won 50. Generally speaking, the Western Conference has a more balanced record, while the Eastern Conference is polarized.

In the news in the second half of March, the Hawks made fewer headlines. Only when the Hawks won 60 wins for the third time in four years and when Liu Mang surpassed Rick Barry made the headlines.

Compared with the top five in the East and the top three in the West occupying the rankings very steadily, the competition for the sixth, seventh and eighth places in the East has intensified, and the competition for the fourth to sixth rankings in the West is also very fierce. The performance of the Eagles in the regular season has not been paid much attention.

A lot of things happened in March, not only about the team, but also about the stars.

The Timberwolves' alien Cassell announced that he would not renew his contract with the Timberwolves, so that other teams could pursue him in the summer...and was suspended by the Timberwolves for a week.

After Kobe scored 58 points, he was reimbursed for the season from March 3th. He went to Germany to treat his damaged knee. German orthopedic skills are still very good...

……

……

"Sweet...OK."

"It's finally finished, uncle, will the teacher give birth to a younger brother or a younger sister!"

"How many times have you asked, I don't know, whatever you want, it's fine... Dinah, run!"

"You can call it whatever you want! Ace, stop!"

On the first day of the new month, Liu Mang and San Niu asked bodyguard Christine Wagner to take a group photo.

Alexia has been pregnant for almost three months, and her lower abdomen is already swollen. She went for a checkup yesterday and everything is healthy.

The doctor said that the gender would be revealed in about two weeks, but Liu Mang didn't care much about it, so he didn't make an appointment for an examination in this area.

The first two months of pregnancy have passed, and Alexia has obviously started to gain weight, and the more she eats, the more she eats...

April 4st is April Fool's Day. In previous years, Liu Mang would go to record programs or something, but not this year. He would stay at home when he had time to play at home.

On the 1st, I rested at home for a day. Of course, I still did not relax my training. I practiced shooting for two hours in the morning and afternoon.

By April 4, the Hawks had started the remaining nine games in April.

The Eagles' schedule in the first half of the season was an easy one, but the period from mid-January to April was inhuman.

From the 2nd to the 15th, in 14 days, the Eagles have 9 games...

休息了天后，2号迎来了和华盛顿奇才队的常规赛最后一次交手，刘莽拿到35分8板5助攻，帮助老鹰队121比110轻松拿下胜利。

On the No. 3 NCAA final, the NBA collectively truceed for one day.

I don’t know if a player who became the owner after retirement stopped watching the game at North Carolina’s home court. The North Carolina Blue Devils played very anxiously when they scored 64 in 32, and they played ugly when they scored 32 in 16. But since March 3, after the owner of an NBA team left Charlotte for a trip, North Carolina, which was supposed to stop in the quarterfinals, went berserk. It scored 15 points and 8 hits against the defending champion University of Connecticut. The champion seed, Raymond Felton, had a brilliant performance in the semi-finals. From the draft predictions of No. 4 and No. 22 in the first round, he directly entered the top three!
In the North Carolina finals, they defeated Florida State University 75-70 and won the NCAA championship. Sean May, a senior, won the MOP in the semi-finals.

Marvin Williams, Sean May, Raymond Felton, and Rashad McCants became famous. The North Carolina point guard Raymond Felton said that the NCAA could no longer challenge him and announced his participation in this year's NBA draft.

4月份老鹰队足足有三个背靠背，也就是一个5天4战，和一个7天4战。

Except for the last two games, the rest are back to back.

In this situation, it is impossible not to rest in rotation. Except for Liu Mang who is on the field, the rest of the Eagles are more thorough.

Three back-to-backs, the Eagles got a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, and the three back-to-backs all won the first game and lost the second game.

Liu Mang didn't give up the team if he wanted to fight. The first place in the regular season is basically stable. There is no need to fight for the victory in the regular season. It is enough to have a happy match. If you score more than the opponent, you will win. Well practice the offensive tactics that the role players participate in.

……

……

"The playoffs are coming!" Back home, Jason Terry roared outside Phillips Arena.

"I don't know him, I don't know him..." The rest of the Eagles covered their faces and walked to the Phillips Mall near Phillips Arena to buy some socks, wrist guards, elbow pads and tape for the playoffs.

In the playoffs, a new look, everything has to be replaced.

Finally, on April 4, after the Eagles lost to the Philadelphia 11ers in an away game, the Eagles' record became 76 wins and 66 losses, and the difficult schedule was finally over.

The Eagles returned to Atlanta at noon on the 12th, and immediately started a team meeting. There are two games left, playing the Spurs on the 13th and the Pacers on the 15th, ending two consecutive home games.

Originally, the Pacers were played to warm up the final battle for the Eagles playoffs. Who knew that the Pacers had a fight and collapsed, so the Spurs game, which the TV stations didn't want to broadcast live, became a national broadcast.

After resting for nearly two months, the Eagles are finally going to start playing together again!
In the last two games, the Eagles coaching staff and players meant to play in the playoffs!
In addition to allowing the players to recover their physical fitness, the rotation rest also has a key role, which is to prevent the players from reaching their peak prematurely, and come gradually.

This was proposed by Liu Mang, who extracted it from the future Spurs system.

Moreover, this can also suppress the energy of the players, so that they will not release until the playoffs. Now, it is the best time!

After buying their own things, the Eagles players returned to the Phillips Arena. The conference room had been set up, and the Eagles started the team meeting.

It is mainly about tomorrow's game against the Spurs. It is really like the playoffs, and a targeted research has been made.

Of course, this has something to do with the Spurs being the most likely opponent in the finals.

The troika of the Spurs, except Parker, is still a little tender, and the other two are ruthless players, and the role players of the Spurs are very powerful. Compared with the Hawks, if the Hawks did not supplement Persson and Mourning, the Spurs would be even better. The Hawks' bench lineup is talented, but they are too young.

The rest allowed the Eagles players to have sufficient physical fitness. After the team meeting against the Spurs, tactical training began in the afternoon.

There is a big difference between the regular season and the playoffs. Training three times a week during the regular season is the limit. Regular season team training is usually done twice a week. In the playoffs, it usually starts with three training sessions a week. If you encounter early promotion, you basically have training every day. Of course, the training for the playoffs is usually half a day, half a day of training and half a day of studying opponents.

Facing the same opponent at least four times in a row, adjusting tactics all the time.

The tactical training at the playoff level obviously felt that the atmosphere was different. The main players, who had been suppressed for two months, caught the substitutes and became tyrannical.

The starting lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown returned to their positions. In the 20-minute training match, a 9-man substitute team played a 49-25...

The substitutes who played more playing time in the past two months thought they had improved a lot. When they saw the strength shown by the starters when they all played the training games with the mentality of playing in the playoffs, the veterans were fine. They already knew that this would be the case, even Jason Terry and Mourning. It will be surpassed soon, after all, the gap between him and his peak is not 01:30 points.

Such a team made Mourning feel that his championship dream was about to come true!
After training, McGrady practiced dribbling and shooting for a while, and when he saw that Liu Mang had left, he sneered disdainfully: "Sure enough, I'm the one who works the hardest."

After practicing another set of shots, McGrady returned to the locker room, took a bath towel and was about to take a shower. When he opened the closet, he saw a ring hanging on it.

McGrady picked it up and saw "Ace Liu" written on it.

"Put it in the wrong cabinet?" Maddy was puzzled.

Liu Mang's locker is outside the two rows of lockers on the left and right. It is located in the middle of the locker room door. On the left is Mai Di's, and on the right is Liu Mang's shoe store. Mai Di thinks it should be misplaced!
Then a voice came.

"Hey Tracy, how's the ring?"

Mai Di turned around and saw that Liu Mang was wiping his hair with a towel.

"This is?" McGrady didn't respond for a while.

Liu Mang threw the bath towel into his laundry basket, took the championship ring hanging from a silver chain from McGrady, and hung it around his neck.

"Tracey, do you want a ring like this?"

　The playoffs are about to start~ I spent a few hours sorting out the following content, and quickly advanced the regular season. I have finished writing some things to be written in the regular season, and it’s not good to repeat the rest of the game, so let’s enter the playoffs!
