From Today it is the King of the Basketball

The four consecutive away games in the front are all weak teams and collapsed teams. There are various teams crashing every year. This is no longer a new thing. Occasionally losing to a weak team is not a new thing. Isn't the Pacers killed by the Raptors?

In the future, the invincible space team will be killed once a year by the Lakers on the West Coast.

The next opponent of the Hawks is the top priority.

In the last five-player game, they challenged the New Jersey Nets.

The Nets have established their unique image over the past two years. Regardless of the regular season record, in the playoffs, they are the most squad in the East.

Although they were opened by the top three in the Eastern Conference this year, with only 4 wins and 4 losses, they started like this every year for the past two years, at most 50 wins, and in the playoffs, fierce strength broke out So no team dared to underestimate them.

When the Hawks came to Rutherford, New Jersey, they were still a little depressed, but most of the Hawks already had their own way to relieve depression. Most of them had been playing veterans for many years, Rashid Hua Rice and Jason Terry, who were depressed in the second half of last night's game, dragged Mohammed, Barnes, Boozer and others, and arrived at the hotel in Rutherford Township at noon. These people went to Jersey City in the afternoon. They went early and returned early. The coaching staff did not allow players to spend the night outside the packaged hotel on the eve of the away game.

It may be that Stockton, who was powerless, went fishing with Kevin Willis and Ratliff in the afternoon.

New recruit eggs Willie Green, Calderon and Kwame Brown teamed up to fight StarCraft.

Liu Mang does n’t like to go to the nightclub. Playing games is not the opponent of those addicted teenagers. Fortunately, the town of Rutherford has the basketball team ’s unprecedented record in the past two years. The atmosphere has deepened a lot. In the summer, the Rutherford Campus of the Jersey City Bay Area High School built a new basketball hall. The Eagles rented this basketball hall to let the players train. Liu Mang took a break at noon and asked in the afternoon. When I arrived at this school, I went to this arena to continue training.

Although you know that losing in the regular season is inevitable, and most of the time, you are not losing to the strong enemy you are guarding against. You often lose to the unexpected team, as the famous Zhang Guizhi said, when scoring no more opponents Time, naturally lose.

But depression will always be depressed, especially this big reversal.

Liu Mang couldn't think of what his team still lacked, so he was too lazy to think about it, preparing to train, sports is the best way to relieve stress.

Originally, losing one game or two games is not a particularly big problem, but suddenly it was placed at the top of the strength list, and suddenly there was pressure.

Liu Mang took a taxi to the Bay Area High School. Although this is the site of the Nets, most of them are Philadelphians. They are very friendly to Liu Mang. The guards took Liu Mang to the small stadium that was only opened in the new semester.

The area of ​​the arena is not large, and the size of a small warehouse, Liu Mang estimates that there are hundreds of thousands of stadiums and a grandstand on the second floor.

When I walked to the goal hall, the facilities inside were almost what Liu Mang expected, but someone was already there.

A white man who looks like a child who dreamed of becoming a basketball superstar at the age of 16 but has not grown up since the age of 16 is training in the stadium and is already sweating and the towels on the side of the court are soaked Too.

"Keller, I didn't expect you to train here. Wow, how long have you been here? Why didn't you play with them?" Liu Mang greeted, watching Korver seem to have trained for a while, and asked in surprise Road.

"Boss, don't you come to train too? You are still so strong and come to train. I don't even have a rotation time. I must work harder." Korver's mentality is really good.

"It's great." Liu Mang was noncommittal, picked up the ball that Korver threw out and bounced back, tried a three-pointer, and made a hollow shot.

This easy and freehand shot made Korver's eyes straight. If he has the ability to make three points in the game, he feels that he can rely on his good defense ability and three-point ability. Get a certain playing time.

Liu Mang looked at the evaluation of Korver's ability, still 64. Offense 62, defense 66, three-point 78, mid-range shooting 65, layup 66, the ball attack is basically equal to zero.

In terms of three points, Korver is stronger than Liu Mang's own three-point ability when he first entered the NBA. It is indeed talented. In this era where the three-point king has not been emphasized, the rookie can have such a strong three-pointer. It may be the same reason that Liu Mang was able to enter the NBA a little bit. There are always teams that need a fixed-point shooter.

As for defense, in the team training, Korver's single defense is not good, but the assist defense can appear in the right position every time, plus the fixed-point shooting ability, can occasionally overwhelm Barnes into the 12-man roster, as for the other two

Watching Korver wring the towels out of the water, and then wipe the sweat on his body, Liu Mang asked: "Keller, you won't start training here when you get here at noon?"

"Yes, I heard Emmanuel say, boss, you train at least twice as much time as other people every day, only to have the strength of today, so I have to work harder!" Korver laughed Smiling, more like a certain Lun.

Liu Mang didn't expect that Emmanuol's guy, after becoming a trainer, actually had such consciousness, and would actively guide the rookie to train ... But Liu Mang didn't see Emmanuol! Asked in doubt: "Keller, what about the Emmanuel?"

"He and Terry Boss went to Jersey City, arranged for me the same training tasks as Boss, and left."

"..."

...

Liu Mang took out his training suit from his backpack and changed it. After half an hour, Liu Mang warmed up and saw Korver continue training again. He asked curiously: "You do n’t worry about training like this, but you still wo n’t get it in the end. Time to play? "

Liu Mang is very curious. Korver's attitude seems to run through his entire career. How does he maintain such a good attitude?

Liu Mang is familiar with Keller Korver, mainly because he is the oldest first-time All-Star player in history. He wandered around for the first nine years of his career, playing for nine years on the bench, and reaching the tenth year of his career. It was only because of the loss of Joe Johnson and the Hawks that there was no manpower to make a starter, and then an uncontrollable seven consecutive seasons, an average of 45% of the hits. In the first three-pointer, Korver was 32 years old when he was the main player for the first time. After that, he was also selected as an All-Star for the first time in his 35-year career, and won the Eastern Conference Best in January 2015. This may have been a lot. Many times the All-Stars have not received the honor. No one has ever wandered around as a role player when he was young, but instead became an example of an All-Star when he was old.

What exactly makes Korver maintain such a mentality?

Hearing Liu Mang ’s question, Korver did not get angry and angry, but said with a smile: "I believe that one day I will succeed. Although I do n’t know when I will come, I will always succeed, especially when I heard After your boss ’s experience, I ’m more sure that hard work will succeed. I do n’t want to do so much. Just do my best. ”

Will you succeed if you try your best? Don't want that much?

This is not Liu Mang's own belief! But because this year's lineup has strengthened so much, after losing one, Liu Mang began to doubt himself, doubting what the team is missing.

Hearing Korver's words, Liu Mang suddenly realized that he wanted to do so much, did not see other people just depressed, this season began, the unpredictable season is still growing!

Ignore it for the first time, the next game to play! Liu Mang's mood improved all at once, saying that smart people will not worry about troubles. Liu Mang thought deeply and said to Korver: "Keller, you are right, how about it, do you want to compare Three points, I think your three points are pretty good. "

"Okay! I always want to challenge your boss's three points! It's just too accurate, it's so accurate in the game!"

"Then you are ready to cry home, rookie!"

"Haha, boss, come on!"

...

...

Early the next morning, the Eagles players were pulled to the basketball stadium where Liu Mang and Korver scored a three-pointer against Biao yesterday for tactical training in preparation for the game against the Nets in the evening.

The training time in the morning is not long, just one hour, mainly tactical running position, how to defend with the simulation of Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson and Kidd. Prince and Rahim imitated this For the two, Kidd replaced Stockton.

After training, the Hawks returned to the hotel to wash, lunch, and then the team meeting.

Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry, who was like a soft-legged shrimp today, like Korver, who trained for an afternoon yesterday, and competed with Liu Mang to more than seven in the evening, and asked worriedly: "Jason, you What did you do last night? "

Korver's foot is very normal. After training for so long yesterday, not everyone has the same physical strength as Liu Mang.

But what does Jason Terry mean in the same way as the soft-leg shrimp?

Jason Terry looked around and did n’t notice them, smiled at Liu Mang hey, and whispered, “You do n’t know, Ais, the girl I brought back last night was too spicy! Butt, that waist ... "

"..." Liu Mang was speechless, really because of this.

"I heard that she is in the top 15 of the national show for dancing with celebrities. I didn't expect that their program team would actually come to view in Jersey City. I earned it! If you like Ace, I will call her ... … "Jason Terry still seems to be remembering.

Liu Mang originally wanted to leave, but it seemed a bit impressed to hear the show of dancing with the stars. In the end, all of them came out as 'celebrities'. In other words, they are the "star cannons" of the superstars, saying that they are stars. , But there is no work, or even no work at all, but their popularity is very high, and they are not ordinary flesh and bones, it is not like giving money. It is sought after by a large number of black athletes, and even makes more money than the real There are still many superstars.

Liu Mang asked, "What is the name of the star you called?"

"Oh oh, Ace, you grew up! Are you interested too?" Jason Terry was like discovering the New World. "She's called Jin, what's Jin?" Shan, how about her phone? "

"!!!" Liu Mang was scared back several steps!

"What's wrong with Ace?" As soon as Jason Terry pulled out his phone, he saw Liu Mang's frightened expression.

Liu Mang eased his panic and quickly pulled Jason Terry, said: "Jason, stay away from that woman!"

"Why?" Jason Terry asked strangely.

"He is poisonous in X!" Liu Mang said solemnly.

"Wat? Ace, don't scare me! I didn't wear it last night!" Jason Terry clearly regarded Liu Mang's poison as HIV.

"No, no, Jason, it doesn't mean that, I mean she is like a vacuum cleaner, will **** you up, and then you will not have the physical strength to play again, it will get worse and worse, and finally your 20-year career dream It ’s ruined! ”Liu Mang explained that although he did n’t like the Kardashian one, he would n’t rumor it. The hatred of his father ’s hatred and his wife ’s hatred wo n’t matter, but ruining his wealth Qiu, the Kardashian family relies on that to make money, but he does not want the Kardashian family to hate him.

"Frighten me, Ace, don't talk about half of it ..." Jason Terry patted his chest, and the terrified expression was scared. He said in dismay: "Ais, your words seem to be very good It makes sense that I did have that feeling last night. I felt like I had n’t done it next time ... wait, Ais, how are you so clear, do n’t you ... hehehehe ... "

Jason Terry was just scared to the point of being serious, and thought of the dirty thing again.

"... it's your business!" Liu Mang gave Jason Terry a white look.

"Aisi, I won't tell Aida about it. Rest assured, we are brothers!" Jason Terry laughed more stubbornly, grabbing Liu Mang's shoulder and kept smiling.

Liu Mang snapped Jason Terry's hand and smiled and scolded: "Go to hell! ... By the way, give me Jin's phone."

"Why, Ace, you also want to try it? I think it ’s okay, I think it ’s the same as Ace you said, she is poisonous! My legs are soft now, I ’m going back to the room to sleep, otherwise I wo n’t be at night I'm struggling to play. "Jason Terry said so, but still took out his phone.

"What do you want! Am I like that kind of person?" Liu Mang asked silently and took out his mobile phone.

"You don't look like you, you are!" Jason Terry simply gave Liu Mang the phone, "Ace, I advise you to play and wait for the offseason. Will be regarded as a night she shows off. "

Jason Terry is not talking nonsense. Those so-called celebrities spend the night with big stars, just to show off, but unlike ordinary skins and bones, they also carry the title of star on their own, and sports stars. Overnight, but will increase their reputation.

"No, no, Jason, I'm not interested in them, but some people might be interested in them. How about you introducing Kim to our opponents?" Liu Mang asked after writing down the phone.

Hearing Liu Mang ’s words, Jason Terry froze for two seconds, and was full of horror at Liu Mang: “Fuck! Ace, you are so mean!”

...

...

In the afternoon, Liu Mang watched the Nets' game video for a while in the hotel. Not to mention, the Nets are really stronger this year than last year!

Although Morningin's decline in joining the Nets was a bit serious, Richard Jefferson went one step further and became the only player in the Nets to average 20 points per game. He developed the ability to hold the ball and averaged 20 points per game. 6 The opening of 4 assists in the board, the three-point has also made great progress, the opening rate is 50 + 40 + 70, in addition to the penalty is a bit worse, Richard Jefferson gradually played his own template when the draft Vince- Carter's feeling!

Kenyon Martin also made the best start of his career, averaging 18 points and 10 rebounds per game, which may decline further with the season, but the strength does show.

Kidd is still comprehensive, averaging 16 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists per game. His rebounds have been snatched by Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin, but he is still the one who has used his teammates to exceed his own strength. The essential!

The most important thing is that the defense of these three is still strong ~ www.readwn.com ~ Although Liu Mang saw that the Nets have a good start, they have a better performance per attack and one defense than last year. No wonder the original Historically, this year's Nets have been able to tie up with the Pistons in the playoffs and the Five Tigers!

This year's Nets may be more powerful than the previous two years, but they are not opponents of the Pistons. As Kidd said when they rejected the Spurs, they are confident that they can beat the Spurs next year, and they may really have more than the Spurs last year. It's even more powerful, but it just encountered a stronger Pistons, and the Pistons defeated the Lakers' championship to beat the Spurs!

The inexplicable Liu Mang has another blacksmith-like excitement! Liu Mang quickly suppressed this excitement, implying that he wanted to maintain his usual heart, this is just a regular season ... just a fart!

Liu Mang couldn't resist his excitement and wanted to hurry up and compete with the Nets!

Originally, the task of crossing the Nets, the big devil, is the biggest hurdle of the Pistons' Ben Wallace ’s career. The original Ben Wallace won the best defense for two consecutive years in 2002 and 2003. Player, but met with the Nets for the second consecutive year of the playoffs, they were tortured to death by Kenyon Martin. Every time Kenyon Martin could not prevent a dunk flying around him, until the postseason in 2004 The game only crossed the hurdles of the Nets, proving that he is one of the best defensive players in history.

Liu Mang ’s goal is more difficult now. He may have to cross the Nets and the Pistons in the same year. Although the Pistons were killed in the previous two years, Ben Wallace under Larry Brown With Billups, this is the strongest time, and facing the Pistons in the playoffs this year is definitely not that simple.

Liu Mang couldn't stop being excited again.

Fortunately, at this time, the system's task prompt made him calm down.

"Ding ... The Avengers series of tasks triggered, Ace Liu's hatred."
