NOVEL NEXT chapter 104. The Western Expedition begins!
The Hawks only had 14 games in November. The schedule was quite easy. Fortunately, it was predicted to be the top four teams in the East before the start of the season.
Although the eastern part is weak, at least it sounds like the top four are also strong teams, so the Hawks are also lucky. The schedule is the standard of the strong team before and after the tight, except for a few opponents in the opening, most of them are weak teams.
As for the weak team, is it tight before loose? There is no such thing as why the weak team is called the weak team, because no one can basically win, so the whole season looks very tight.
On December 2, the Hawks faced the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
The sorrow of small cities is that they ca n’t make money. It ’s not the time when NBA income has skyrocketed and the big city teams will give the small city teams money. The goal of the weak teams is to get into the playoffs and get playoff bonuses. Because in the playoffs, you can sell a few more ball tickets, and the playoff team regular season market will be good.
If they can not enter the playoffs, the box office will not be good, they have only one option, that is, to fight for the top pick to pick a super genius who can lead the team to victory.
The Cavaliers are like this. Although Cleveland is the capital of Ohio, it is only ranked 28th in the United States, a small city in the lower 50 states of the United States, and the entire NBA is the Hornets. Charlotte and Memphis of the Grizzlies are poorer than Cleveland.
Therefore, as one of the victims of the last NBA lockout, the Cavaliers can only choose to squander the champion. This year ’s goal is that China does not need to think about it. As long as it is selected, it will allow the team to lose money to China. Big man.
The main beneficiary of the Cavaliers’ slump is their main point guard Andre Miller, who always holds the ball, passes the teammate and immediately throws, the assists flew, and in fact Andre Miller assist ability Although it is good, it is far from the level of assists. The best comprehensive strength in the entire career has been six points and seven points. After playing more than a dozen games this year, it was stunned. 16 points, 12 assists, and 5 rebounds.
And the Cavaliers record is also amazing, with the assists king, the record is 3 wins and 12 losses.
The Hawks have been defending as usual. The starting lineup first stopped the offensive firepower brought by Andre Miller when he assisted. To the second team, Liu Mang scored a wave of points to widen the difference.
Encountering old hooligans is bad luck, but when encountering Ricky Davis who clamored for choosing the little emperor to be his helper, Liu Manglang flew up, because this guy in front of him is even more violent than Liu Mang, holding The ball does not let go, called an obsession with the data, defensive end completely regardless of the shooter, ready to rush back to the inside to grab defensive rebounds.
Liu Mang got a lot of full open opportunities. He shot 5 of 9 from outside the 3-point line and also made a 3-pointer foul, easily getting a total of a few minutes at the beginning of the second and third quarters and the fourth quarter. 18 points, plus the first quarter against Andre Miller when the pick-and-roll broke through the inside line and caused the killing by the strange inside footsteps, totaling 25 points!
The characteristics of the Hawks second team is that Liu Mang can rush up, can jump forward, and plays well. Liu Mang ’s own offensive containment has not been enough, and he must rely on more points to attract the attention of his opponents before he can get a chance. Assisting opportunities, otherwise Liu Mang ca n’t cast more and ca n’t vote. When you need to slow down and adjust your feelings, you can only rely on two unreliable guys, Muhammad and Ratliff, to beat and hold high on the inside. .
If the opponent is a Cavaliers, there will be no more. In this game, Liu Mang came off the bench and scored 25 points and 5 assists in 27 minutes! Scores and assists have set new career highs! The previous highest score was 24 points, and the highest assist was the last time the old rogue gave up defending and forced the Wizards to make up for the four assists sent by Liu Mang.
Cavaliers … Even if they don’t make up defense, it’s easier to get assists than to play the Wizards.
97 to 82, the Hawks easily won the game with the fish-bellied team, avoiding another losing streak.
……
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Hawks record turned 10 wins and 5 losses, stabilizing the precarious fourth place in the East.
Now the first in the East is still maintained by the Pistons, 12 wins and 4 records ahead of the Nets 11 wins and 4 losses half a win.
The difference in the NBA’s winning game is when the negative game is the same, the longer the game, the longer the half win, because the side that wins less will have a chance to win the next game.
And the third in the East is not the Magic. Although the Magic have already caught up with the Eagles, the third place is the Atlantic leader Celtics.
In fact, at first, the lively battle between the Pistons and the Eagles for the first battle in the league was only the competition between the first and fourth in the east. At the current stage of the labor agreement, the first place in the six major divisions must be ranked according to the ranking of the record. In the first three of the east and west, it was not until the new version of the labor agreement in 2006 that there were new regulations, which slightly weakened the first advantage of the division.
Liu Mang played very hard in the Cavaliers game. From the time of preparation before the game, he studied his opponents very well, and he paid more attention than when he played with the Cavaliers last time. Because the last time was completely crushed by strength, let alone Rahim. As far as Jason Terry is not able to deal with the Cavaliers, and this time it is him who is the first scorer, researching the weakness of the opponent’s outside defense and the poor pick-and-roll defense, targeting, and finally being abused by Jordan After one game, I found the venting opponent and rediscovered a little face.
Is just a poor knight.
In addition to finding a punching bag for himself and avoiding a losing streak, Liu Mang played so hard for the Cavaliers. Another reason is to catch the wind for Rahim and Jason Terry, who will end the suspension soon!
After five games, Rahim and Jason Terry finally lifted the ban and are coming back!
……
“Eh eh, Ais, help you fight so long that we were suspended for a long time, and also fined so much money, you invited us to eat KFC? It seems that it is time to enforce the team rules!” Jason Terry nibbled fiercely. Take a bite of chicken legs.
Don’t eat if you feel abandon! KFC doesn’t need money! Liu Mang was aggrieved: “I have also been fined, you see I have been playing for a month, and the remaining money is less than 10,000 yuan.”
Yes, pretend to be pitiful, and sell cute. Although the other party is a little disgusting, it is forced to sell cute. The younger brother is only 19 years old, and you will chant.
A one-meter-nine-meter-old man who sells cute, and several guys chewing chicken hamburgers almost did not spit out.
However, there is still such a sincere person.
“Jason, Ace is right. The sum of the money he received from his two-year rookie contract is estimated to be four or five hundred thousand,” Muhammad is still a good old man, but the words suddenly changed. For the truth, the team rules must be enforced. By the way, Jason, what are our team rules, I forgot. ”
“Cough, I think about it,” Jason Terry looked at the team’s rules now: “I remembered that since we built the team in the 1950s, there is a rule that every rookie must come to a pole dance Come on, Ace, I know you are good at this! ”
“Why don’t you die!”
“Hahahaha …”
……
After playing the Cavaliers, Jason Terry and Rahim came back, and Liu Mang also wanted to find a cheap place in Atlanta to invite them to dinner ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ but only one day off, so I arrived at the wave Tran ordered takeaways and invited the big appetizers to dinner.
The complaint is a complaint. The decisive point of this group of people is that KFC has ordered more than two hundred dollars. Liu Mang can’t wait to kill them.
The next game is in the far “westland”, playing the famous prison city pioneers team, the next morning after playing the Cavaliers set off for Portland.
Come to Portland a little earlier to get a little more rest time, because the easy schedule in November has passed, and in December it has been a brutal five-seater in the West, including the games of the Supersonics, Kings and two consecutive defending champions Lakers. Brutal!
Seeing that the days of fighting with the OK group are getting shorter and shorter each day, Liu Mang is working hard to save the skill upgrade card.
In the game of Jordan, in addition to getting 5,000 superstars because of that sentence, there are some scattered points. The data of playing a knight is also very good, with a few hundred points, adding up to more than 6,300 superstars. On the value, Liu Mang was all used to draw, and 161 skill upgrade cards, 5 stealing cards, more than 20 physical potions and more than a dozen primary and primary injury and illness potions were added, plus a few of the previous ones. A total of 165 photos, but still not enough!
It’s still 75 shots away from raising the bench gangster to level 5, a little bit worse!
The last game of the five-season game of the West Expedition was to play the Lakers. That game was broadcast live in the United States. Of course, the Eagles belonged to the one who played live.
But Liu Mang doesn’t matter whether it’s rubbing, he wants to play well in that game anyway! Not only complete the task, but also want to play well in front of the OK combination and win more fans!
Therefore, in the first four games, Liu Mang tried his best to draw up the superstar value of 75 skill upgrade cards. At least 3000 to 4000 points are enough, and there is a long way to go!
