1026. Eight consecutive wins, McGrady comes to visit(1/2)

In the last game of four consecutive away games, the Hawks came to the Verizon Center to challenge the Wizards away from home.

For Wizards players, playing the Hawks might as well be playing away from home.

Being booed in an away game, after all, it is an away game, so it is normal to be booed.

But the Washington fans, who were usually fine, immediately switched sides when they saw Liu Mang coming.

It's not without reason that the fans defected. Arenas wanted to prove himself when he saw Liu Mang. He wanted to prove himself, but he didn't have the efficiency and stability since the beginning of the season. He couldn't make any shots no matter what.

It was extremely bad, leading the Wizards to a single quarter score of 19-29.

In the past, there were two outside ball-handling spots, Larry Hughes and Arenas, and Jamison to contain Tracy McGrady. When the Wizards' trident beat the Hawks, there was always something to win. The key point that the Hawks seized was Arenas.

When he met Liu Mang, he went crazy and tried to vote, but he couldn't.

But now, Prince defends Arenas, McGrady defends Jamison, and the Wizards introduced Antonio Daniels to fill the vacancy of Larry Hughes. He is a good player, but he is not a star. I'm sorry for his salary of nearly 10 million.

.

The Wizards have streamlined their backline structure this season, using off-ball players like Antonio Daniels and Jarvis Hayes to match Arenas. In terms of record, the start of the season is actually better than last season.

, before playing the Hawks, they had 6 wins and 3 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference. If the 76ers were not first in the Atlantic Division, the Wizards would be ranked fourth.

The Wizards, who have established the dual-core playing style of Arenas and Jamison, are playing very well.

But the disadvantage is that once one of the two cores collapses, especially Arenas, the top star in the league who averages 29 points per game, collapses, the Wizards will collapse directly.

Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan doesn’t understand!

No matter how well Arenas played, he still scored 35 points and 14 assists against the Heat, handing the Heat their second loss of the season. Why was he so miserable against the Hawks?

As for depression, the NBA did not pay attention to it until DeMar DeRozan took the initiative to disclose his condition in the future. Otherwise, Kwame Brown and Milicic would not have suffered from depression.

situation.

In addition to the collapse of Arenas on the offensive end, the biggest problem in the Wizards' loss to the Hawks was defense. Larry Hughes, the perimeter gatekeeper of the best defensive team, left, and Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady took off.

McGrady played 31 minutes and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, mainly in defense and passing. Liu Mang played 38 minutes and scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, plus Iguodala and Kovo

Erhe scored 20 points, and the Eagles easily defeated the Wizards 119-105 and won their eighth consecutive victory!





Starting with eight consecutive wins, the Hawks have played two fewer games and are one game ahead of the 8-2 Spurs, ranking first in the league.

However, although the Eagles' eight-game winning streak in the beginning was beyond the expectations of the fans, it was so strong for the third consecutive year, but it is also reasonable. This season, the Eagles' data has become more average. With the exception of Liu Mang and Kwame,

-Brown, the Hawks gradually have no other players averaging 15 per game. McGrady occasionally wants to soar, but only occasionally.

Tracy McGrady is very smart, Liu Mang didn't say it, but he understood Liu Mang's approach. When he had the advantage on the court, he took the initiative to give the ball to Iguodala or Calderon, Josh Smith, the three brothers who have a good relationship.

Everyone's data has been significantly improved compared to last season.

From the Hawks to now averaging 115 points per game, only Liu Mang and Kwame Brown average more than 15 points per game on the team, and Liu Mang only averages 30.5 points per game.

However, the more this happens, the more fans are looking forward to a team that can break the Eagles' undefeated streak.

In last season's finals, the Hawks seemed to have become the home team for all fans in the entire NBA, but only when their opponent was the Spurs. In the new season, although the Hawks rely on Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Kwame Brown, they have gradually become the two Chinese and American teams.

The most popular team in a country with the strongest basketball atmosphere, but the fans of other teams combined are more than the fans of the Eagles. Discussions began online about which teams have a chance to defeat the Eagles.

It's been more than half a month since the season started. Generally speaking, we can see a little bit about the overall situation of this season.

In the East, the Heat ranked second with 7 wins and 3 losses, the Pistons ranked third with 7 wins and 4 losses, the 76ers ranked fourth with 4 wins and 6 losses, the Cavaliers ranked fifth with 7 wins and 4 losses, and the Wizards

6 wins and 4 losses, falling to sixth place.

The Eastern Conference is even bleaker than last season, with only five teams reaching 50% at the start.

In the West, except for the Spurs, the competition among the heroes has started.

The Spurs are first with 8 wins and 2 losses, the SuperSonics are second with 7 wins and 4 losses, the Suns are 6 wins and 4 losses, the Lakers are 6 wins and 4 losses, the Mavericks are 6 wins and 4 losses, ranking third to fifth, and the Clippers are 6

Winning 5 and losing 6th, the Kings and Jazz both had 5 wins and 5 losses, and the game was in chaos.

The most stable team is the Spurs. Although they were robbed of first place in the Western Conference by the Suns last season, they immediately regained their place this season.

The Suns are missing one of their top players this season. Stoudemire was injured in the preseason and was reimbursed for the season in the opening game. However, D'Antoni's magic ball is really unimaginable. He poached the first two players from the Bucks.

Boris Diaw, who averaged 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists as a backup point guard every year, used him as a center, and then Diaw averaged 13, 7, 7...

The Suns' play has become more unrestrained, but the lack of Stoudemire cannot be supplemented by Diaw. Although Diaw's passing has benefited the Suns a lot, the Suns' offense is not as stable as last season, with one less player.

With an inside average of 26 points per game, the Suns' offense has been ups and downs this season, all thanks to Nash.

After two weeks of play, Nash also won the Player of the Week award in the second week.

For Liu Mang, he missed the Player of the Week award in the first week and was awarded by O'Neal. He won the Player of the Week award in the second week, mainly due to his scoring average in the 50-10 game and the Eagles' eight-game winning streak.

.

After playing four consecutive away games and winning eight consecutive games, the Eagles got three days of rest.

From the 15th to the 30th, in 16 days, the Eagles only played 6 games. The schedule is too easy!

Compared with most opponents who need to go one game after another at the beginning of the season and do not have much time and energy to prepare for their opponents, the Eagles' first game month totaled 34 days and only played 14 games.

Teams can even prepare for games as if they were preparing for the playoffs.

Fans watched the remaining games of the Hawks in November, including the Warriors, Pistons, Bulls, Pacers, Bobcats, and Cavaliers.

Find out that in November, no team except the Heat looks like they can beat the Hawks...

It seems that the only one with a chance is the Bobcats, who defeated the Eagles twice last season.

At the end of the discussion on the post, fans all made expressions of vomiting blood...





On the afternoon of the 15th, Liu Mang returned to Atlanta. Liu Mang took Tracy McGrady, who was riding in the car, home with him.

"Ace, I'm going to see Becas and Avril before going back. My wife is visiting your house today." Liu Mang said when he saw that he was about to change lanes at an intersection.

"Huh?" Liu Mang turned off the turn signal and continued to move forward, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I almost went to your house."

"I forgot, my wife called me when I got up in the morning. She said that she and Aida had made an appointment to discuss the child's education. Raymond is already two years old and we are having a headache." Maddie answered calmly.

road.

I can forget this...my wife went to someone else's house!

Liu Mang didn't know how to complain, and suddenly thought of something: "Tracy, I heard from Levia that your wife seems to be pregnant again. How many months has it been? She didn't even come to the opening game."

"Yes, it's been four months, and it's a daughter." Maddie showed a happy smile on her face, "I was extremely envious when I saw your daughter was born. Fortunately, last week I checked that it's a daughter."

"Yes, my son is too annoyed..."

"That's right, that's right..."

"Let me tell you, Becas is so annoying, you know? It would have been better if it was earlier. Now he has to drink milk several times a night, cries when he is hungry, and loves to poop on his daddy. Every time I help him change his diaper,

It's so troublesome, and I can't let my mother get up so late. Aida is already very tired from taking care of the children during the day. It's really annoying to have a son, but Avril is different, she looks so cute..."

Maddie looked at Liu Mang talking about the hard work of raising children, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems like you love your son very much, Ace!"

"No way!" Liu Mang denied forcefully.

"I asked the servants to do all these things, and you did it yourself." Maddie said with a smile.

"The servants are clumsy. They can clean the house and take care of the pregnant women, but how can I leave it to them to take care of the children?" Liu Mang said smoothly.

Maddie smiled and did not continue talking.



When I arrived at Liu Mang's house, I parked the car and walked to the living room.

Two-year-old Raymond McGrady is taking apart building blocks, and Liu Mang's parents are playing with their two grandchildren.

"Uncle, aunt, hello, I'm Tracy..." McGrady held the small gift he bought from Washington and was about to say hello when he saw Liu Mang rushing towards one of them like a whirlwind with explosive speed.

Next to the stroller.

"Avril, daddy is back..." Liu Mang picked up his daughter and pressed his face against her tender face, shouting numbly.

"Be careful, don't hurt your child..." Liu Mang's mother said quickly.

"Hello, blow blow... blow out... Wei Kang... the oil wave is coming, three grams of oil..." Liu Mang's mother said a word of thanks to McGrady in broken English, and then went up to take McGrady's hand.

He accepted the gift as it was handed out.

It's not that Liu Mang's mother didn't want to be polite, it was just that she really didn't know how to be polite, so she just accepted it directly to save the trouble of the translator next to her.

Liu Mang's father looked after his daughter when his son failed to live up to his expectations, but he didn't even care about his son. He was helpless.

Liu Mang's father, Liu Lijie, and Maddie smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Although in the past few months after the two elders came to the United States, Levia specially helped the two elders find a tutor. Because Liu Mang will definitely stay in the United States for a long time, the two elders will have to live in the United States for a while, and they will probably come here often in the future.

It is necessary to learn English, and the two elders did not refuse, and they were studying very seriously. They could barely speak a few words, and they only needed to go to the supermarket and take the little girl and bodyguard with them.
