From Today it is the King of the Basketball

After entering March, if the schedule in the second half of January is suffering, and the schedule in February is purgatory, then the Eagles schedule in March is eighteen layers of hell.

The schedule in January was tough again, but only in the second half of the month, and the schedule in February was difficult. Fortunately, there was an All-Star weekend that was delayed by a week.

But in March ... the beginning is directly connected seamlessly with the last day of February.

On March 1, the Hawks, who had just finished playing the Magic, immediately ushered in the Knicks' back-to-back challenge at home.

Like the Wizards, the Knicks are both 27-30 and tied for tenth in the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks are not bad, they are not killed when they are killed. As the most wealthy big city team in the world, the rich second generation James Dolan, who took over the Knicks in 1999, was asked by reporters in mid-January. The Knicks have no hope of going into the playoffs again this season. Will they choose to completely lay it down to Bo James? James Dolan said: They can rot, but they are not allowed.

This logic is very interesting, can rotten, not allowed to rotten.

Dolan actually wanted Bo James. Looking at the art of speaking, he has many skills, but he ca n’t just hide his face and say that he wants to slap.

Dolan just wanted to retain the "dignity" of the basketball holy land. It was not that they did not work hard, but that they lacked strength.

Then the Knicks players and coaching staff took it seriously!

The Knicks players and coaching staff felt the sense of self-identity and pride that they should have as a "great team"!

The Knicks players were all struggling. They felt their dignity was maintained. They had an impulse to Dolan to "death to their confidantes." Then in the past month, they played 11 wins and 6 losses. Catching up with the Wizards.

This wave of eruption made Doran suffer from difficulties.

Ye suddenly broke out?

Isn't it all ready to move towards the penultimate east?

Climbed all the way from the 10-win team to nearly 30 wins, and may even hit 40 wins at the end of the season, which made Dolan desperate.

ァ 新 ヤ ~ ⑧ ~ 1 ~ 中文 网 ωωω.χ ~ ⒏ ~ 1zщ.còм

There is a chance of 40 wins, even if you get 40 wins, you can not enter the playoffs!

But even despair, you have to swallow your teeth to break your teeth.

No, the Knicks are going to fight the eagle. Dolan did n’t accept interviews recently, but because of an exclusive interview with a Chinese reporter, in order to open up the Chinese market ... Since the Knicks are too easy to open up in the North American market, even if the record is the last one First, the ticket revenue is the highest in the NBA. The Knicks ’ticket fare is almost close to the NFL team ’s fare. Of course, the NFL has 16 regular season games a year. The ticket is naturally expensive, but the football is open. An average of about 40,000 or 50,000 people watch a game. For example, the Rose Bowl of Los Angeles in NCAA football and the annual Super Bowl of the NFL can watch up to 100,000 people. With more NFL teams, it is definitely more profitable than the NBA.

And the Knicks are one of only two teams in the NBA that can compare ticket income with NFL teams.

North America's live broadcast share, the Knicks' income is also in the forefront of all NBA teams.

Because it has become one of the best teams in the NBA market so easily, Dolan has the ambition to develop overseas markets. The Chinese market is undoubtedly the NBA ’s largest overseas market candidate. Has it all been put into the Chinese market? Dolan also wants to share a slice of soup.

So, I couldn't control my mouth when I was interviewed.

In an exclusive interview with the Imperial Court, Xu Jicheng of the Xinhua News Agency asked if the Knicks would want to compete for the playoffs with the Hawks this year. In theory, the Knicks still have a chance. After all, they are only close to the Hawks. Four wins.

In order to leave the impression that the Knicks are a tough team that never fails, Dolan replied: "No, our goal is not the playoffs, but the championship, no matter how difficult, even We failed in the end. Our goal is also the championship. As a professional team, don't fight for the championship, just dissolve it. "

Dolan quoted the content of Kobe, who was still a substitute, in the rookie season after the playoffs made consecutive shots outside the basket and was eliminated by the Jazz.

Kobe used as a substitute in that year. In addition to the style of the ball and Jordan, the Los Angeles market is big, he can be selected as an All-Star starter in second grade. His talent is part of it. More is that he dared to shoot in the playoffs during his rookie season. After losing, be brave in taking responsibility.

These words are quite morale. The Knicks had been playing for more than a month. The morale mentioned last time has almost been used up. It could have been bad. If the end of the season is 30 wins, the top three picks are not big. Possibly, the top five picks can still fight a wave. This year's Eastern Conference record is very average. It is difficult for the Eastern Conference to win 50 wins, so the weak team's record is also good.

But after hearing the president's words, the players felt a "feel of mission", even if they couldn't even enter the playoffs in the end, but like the famous coach Tom Janovic said, there must be a championship heart!

So, Dolan was expecting the Knicks to start immediately in a losing streak, and ran away when they played against the Hawks.

On March 1, the Hawks, who had to play back-to-back after just 7 games in the past 11 days, faced the Knicks with a tired teacher, and was stunned by the team that was in good condition in mid-January.

Originally the Knicks players hated the Hawks, and Alan Houston even hated Liu Mang's teeth, and it broke out today!

Alan Houston has a feeling of "returning to the light" this year, actually playing the strongest season in his career, averaging 22 + 3 + 2 stats per game, scoring a new career high, or nearly half of the Knicks ’97 million salary is in Retired, laid off, DNP's "former star", the Knicks record is better, this year is Alan Houston's career masterpiece.

The Knicks seem to have recovered the iron-blooded defense of the Pat Riley era today, with violent physical confrontation and accurate mid-range shots. They played a 45-34 lead for the Hawks in the half.

Most of the Hawks players are very weak. This is not about wanting to work hard, but really tired.

In the third quarter, Liu Mang took Prince, Chris Crawford, Newbell, Boozer up a few waves of physical fitness, trying to overtake the score.

Indeed, the third quarter is the Hawks' best game in the game, scoring 28 points in a single quarter, Liu Mang scored 13 points and 5 assists, but the Knicks got 31 points!

The Hawks have a good offensive lineup, but apart from the two defenders, the front three were beaten into a sieve. Instead of shrinking, the fork was pulled to 14 points by the Knicks and fell behind 62-76 in the third quarter.

In the last quarter, Liu Mang took Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Mohammed to fight together and played for three quarters. Jason Terry and Mohammed also eased over and they consumed Not as big as Rahim and Ratliff, the overall condition of the Hawks began to pick up in the last quarter.

But the Knicks didn't care. They rarely had a chance to win the Hawks. How could they carelessly? Alan Houston, who scored 20 points in the first three quarters, broke out in the last quarter and scored 22 points in a single quarter. Even Liu Mang went up and pounced his fingers into Alan. -Houston's eyes, today's Alan Houston froze, he stood up bravely, when the Eagles found a counterattack in the last quarter, Alan Houston came to a personal scoring shock wave, leaning on 22 points in a single quarter With the performance of the entire Eagles' 35 points in a single quarter, plus the 6 points that others got after defensively attracted by Alan Houston, the Knicks carried the Eagles back in the final quarter!

Liu Mang scored 36 points and 8 assists today, but lost to Alan Houston's 42 points.

In the end, the Knicks beat the Hawks 104 to 97 away, "fighting a breath" for the Knicks boss Dolan's belief of "never fail"!

Knicks boss Dolan came to watch the game on purpose, and saw that the Knicks were playing like the championship today. The old blood almost spewed out.

Why didn't you see you so at the beginning of the season, this is only the possibility of the playoffs, or the very low possibility, you broke out?

……

……

30 wins and 26 losses, the Hawks had a defeat in the second game back to back across the months.

This kind of thing is within the expectations of the Eagles coaching staff, so the game in late January and February, the Eagles want to win so much, is to accumulate a few wins in case of this situation.

The last 11 days at the end of February played 7 games, the schedule is cruel, and March has basically been this kind of schedule, so the Hawks must have a certain victory to serve as a buffer when they have to lose.

For example, after playing the Knicks, the Hawks only have a rest day on the 2nd, then the 3rd starts, and another 7 days and 5 games, first three consecutive home games, the 3rd plays the Celtics, the 5th Back-to-back with No. 6 at home against the Warriors and Hornets, then No. 8 and No. 9 away from back to back to challenge the Hornets and Heat.

Fortunately, all teams at home or in the Eastern and Western Division are opponents, less than an hour away from Atlanta, but even so, the Hawks players want to take Gatling to bomb the NBA headquarters in New York.

NBA official said they are also very helpless!

Yes, they are trying to open up the Chinese market and treat the Hawks as cattle. However, in November and December and the first half of January, they gave the Hawks a very loose schedule, which can be said to be the entire NBA. Never before in the history of the easy start schedule.

But the Eagles couldn't stand their own death. It was a waste of the schedule of only 28 games in the first two months.

Originally, David Stern thought that the Hawks had the league's best record in the first two and a half months. With the Hawks' record last season, and the players are young people, there must be progress this year. Such a schedule can get The regular season half-time champion is not difficult, and then as the NBA regular season half-time champion, in China's Spring Festival and more than a month after the Spring Festival, warm up for the playoffs.

The plan is perfect, but things are often different from the plan. The Eagles actually arrived in March, still struggling for a playoff seat.

David Stern is also bitter!

If the Hawks can't make the playoffs in an accident, David Stern may spit blood. If the Hawks and Rockets can't make the playoffs, he probably wants to self-discipline. This year's market in China is a hot one. In particular, the Imperial Court is very "heart of the championship", and even in the finals of the Hawks and Rockets ... there are already domestic "knowledge experts" who have begun to analyze the probability of Hei Ba, the word Hei Ba. In the domestic basketball ring, there has been a lot of fire recently.

Although David Stern knew it was something that he couldn't dream about, both teams made the playoffs, which made Chinese fans look forward to it. Even if they were miserable, at least one team could make the playoffs. .

But now that the Rockets and the Eagles are in the eighth position in their respective divisions, David Stern is worried every time he sees the Eagles and the Rockets lose.

But now that the Hawks players can only complain in private, they still have to show that they don't care about the schedule, just want to win.

……

March 2, a day off, what is enough for a day?

Enough to go to the supermarket.

In such difficult times, Liu Mang did not continue to put his brain on basketball in the afternoon after getting up and training in the morning. At this time, the more he wanted to schedule and worry about the future, the more he became more entangled, the worse his mood was.

I got up in the morning and finished the training. At noon, when Dina finished her homework, Liu Mang took Little Lolly to the supermarket and bought some wooden boards, screws, mini electric drills, etc., and a plastic baffle with high transparency close to that of glass. After buying things, go home in the afternoon to make the honor display cabinet.

Previously, Dina used his plastic storage boxes, cartons and other things to put those trophies. Dina always felt that it was too "serious", so she wanted to make an honor display cabinet herself.

Invite workers?

Forget it, that's too expensive, Dina's own pocket money is not enough, so Liu Mang went to buy wooden boards to make it by herself.

Liu Mang was originally worried and had nothing to do, playing games and annoying, so he agreed happily.

Although I ca n’t do it, I can learn it!

Do some carpentry work to divert attention, and study with Loli how to make a beautiful display cabinet. Although it is not very good in the end, it is at least a cabinet, and then it is painted with plants and dried in the yard. Because vegetable paint does not have too many chemical components, it can be used after it is dried.

In the evening, seeing that he and Dina have been busy working together for the honor display cabinet all afternoon, filled with their trophies, Liu Mang has a little sense of accomplishment.

People are so easy to be satisfied. Sometimes when they see the pressure like Taishan, instead of sighing, complaining, or blaming others, it is better to find something else to do, find some small goals, the completed Such small achievements are also good.

Liu Mang did carpentry work with Dina today, and really released a lot of pressure. Now Liu Mang is very happy. For the time being, he does n’t think about those heavy things and cheers with Dina to accomplish the goal.

Looking at Dina disregarding the wood chips on her head, she was excited to let her uncle put those "honorary notes" already written in front of each trophy, and Liu Mang couldn't stop smiling, this little loli, Although he occasionally angers himself to death, when it's time to be cute, it's so cute!

According to Dina ’s instructions, put each one in front of each trophy one by one, and then take Dina up and hug her chest. Dina looked at the honor cabinet she had made by herself, where she wanted to put it, and The honor statement written by myself, cheered with excitement ...

……

Yesterday and Dina were busy all afternoon, Liu Mang was in a much better mood.

The next day, the Hawks ushered in the next 7-day five-game schedule.

First of all, the Boston Celtics welcomed us at home.

Except for the top five in the East, from sixth to ninth, the record is not very different. Although it is difficult for the Eagles and Magic to exceed the seventh or sixth, it is based on the current record of the Bucks and Celtics with the Eagles and Magic. The record gap is calculated.

The Eagles stand 30 wins and 26 losses, the Celtics 33 wins and 25 losses, the Hawks win rate is 53%, the Celtics win rate is 57%.

If the Celtics have maintained a 56% win rate, the Hawks want to catch up with the Celtics record is basically impossible, after all, the schedule is so difficult.

But it's not easy to say, if the Celtics lose a few games in a row, they really have to work hard with the Hawks and Magic for the eighth in the East.

The Celtics knew this, and it was March. In the last two months of the game, they took it very seriously and did not take the Hawks lightly.

The Hawks are not in good condition. The house leaks are in the middle of the rain. Although Ratliff has been saving, he is not a grumpy muscle center like him, but a tonnage type. Although saving, but in the past After two months of non-stop, the schedule is cruel. During the pre-match inspection, there was muscle fatigue.

The loss was due to no injury. Coach Kruger quickly put Ratliff on the injury list.

Rahim was really injured. His ankle was twisted and he needed to rest for three to five days.

In addition, Prince and Boozer have different degrees of fatigue injuries. The two rookies suddenly assumed a very important role for the team from the end of December. Of course, the two completed well and became It is well-recognized that the Eagles picked up the baby they missed in the draft, but they are rookies after all.

Although Prince and Boozer did not cause much trouble, and even did not have the obvious symptoms as Ratliff, but in order to protect the two, and Ratliff had already rested, rest two more ... How big is it ...

Then, the Hawks' starting lineup became Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Mohammed, Kevin Wesley.

How long has the Hawks not been so starless!

The entire starting lineup does not have an All-Star this season!

Then, the Hawks suffered a fiasco at home ...

It ’s not that Liu Mang and Jason Terry played badly, but they played very well. Liu Mang scored 33 points and Jason Terry 27 points and 5 assists. Both of them worked hard to get the best form, but The Celtics defense is really powerful, because no one can go to Antoine Walker, the Celtics defense has become very balanced, "no" obvious loopholes, not against Liu Mang and Jason Terry. Live, but others are protected from death.

Without Rahim's restrictions, Pierce played that coquettish, no one can stop him, even if Antoine Walker made a 12-for-4 three-pointer, Pierce can drive.

In the final quarter, the Celtics tried to pack Liu Mang and Jason Terry, defending the basket and letting others out. Since there was no three-pointer like Prince and Bozell's good mid-range shooter, the outside vacancy could not be cast. The inside line was blocked, the backcourt double wave was hit, the Hawks only scored 13 points in the final quarter, and the Celtics led the 7-point lead in the third quarter.

In the end, even if Liu Mang scored 33 points, Jason Terry scored 27 points, and the two scored 60 points and 10 assists together, they could not prevent the team from losing streak. Pierce played 32 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, leading Kai The Celtics beat the Hawks 103-92.

After losing to the Celtics, the Hawks had only one day off.

Two-game losing streak, Liu Mang was angry!

The record became 30 wins and 27 losses. Fortunately, the Magic did not win. McGrady continued his empty cut and got a triple-double data of 30 + 11 + 13. As a result, the Kings shot to death. There is a chance to breathe.

After a day of rest, the Hawks continued the schedule and immediately started a continuous back-to-back.

First of all, on March 5, the Hawks continued to play at home, ushered in the second and final game of the season with the Oakland Warriors.

Two losses in a row, Liu Mang has fire in his heart!

Although I know that, during the team meeting, the coaching staff also placated, comforting the players not to lose their usual heart because of a two-game defeat, the team's goal is to be the whole season, not one or two games, the team schedule is difficult When not, don't be unbalanced because of one or two strengths.

But Liu Mang still has fire in his heart!

If you have fire, you will get rid of it!

This happened, the Warriors came!

Fight the Warriors to get rid of the air!

On March 5, at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the Hawks faced the Warriors at home.

The game is about to start, Liu Mang chose to debut today! Played with Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Mohamed, Kevin Wesley.

On the Warriors side, Arenas took Jason Richardson, Jamison, Murphy and Dampier together.

In terms of strength, the Warriors' lineup, and the Hawks' current lineup, may be that the Warriors are even stronger. The Eagles win with a clear core and tactics and defensive system. The Warriors' personal strength is stronger.

However, just a week ago, the Warriors players had just experienced the worst game of their respective careers, and Liu Mang had been frightened!

Arenas looked at Liu Mang, who seemed to be blazing in flames ~ www.readwn.com ~ clamped his muscles and yelled in his heart: "Brother Ais! Don't ..."

But Liu Mang will miss the opportunity for the other party to step on the other party after being scared.

Obviously not!

Since Rahim is not here, Liu Mang and Jason Terry simply let go!

After the start, Liu Mang faced Arenas. Arenas was still in the fear of the last match, and the defensive end completely gave up.

This is the most criticized point in the peak period of Arenas, especially when they were eliminated by James in the playoffs for three consecutive years. When Arenas reached the last time when he played with James in the playoffs, he completely lost his fighting spirit. Ali The last time Nas played with James in 6 games, he averaged 9 shots per game, averaging only 10 points. If Butler and Jamison combined 40 points and 18 rebounds per game, they struggled to defend two home games. It was an unbeatable victory. They might have been swept away because Arenas faced James ’s loss of confrontation.

The Arenas confronting James is the Arenas who has become the top star, so James spent two years torture him to lose the heart of confrontation.

The current Arenas is only in the second grade. They do n’t have to spend too much effort on Liu Mang. In a direct slaughter, Arenas lost the idea of ​​becoming the first person in the same session.

The more Arenas gave up the defense, the better Liu Mang played. Liu Mang made four consecutive three-pointers in the first quarter, and Arenas has no fighting defense!

Eat and sleep to fight the general! Liu Mang's evil **** of the younger generation has begun!
