When the Spurs came to Phillips Arena, they were all booed, but substitute Nazr Mohammed received applause from the fans.

After the Eagles players entered the arena, Eagles owner Price came out and sealed Muhammad’s No. 2 jersey and gave it to him. Liu Mang gave Muhammad his second championship ring.

Of Muhammad.

The Eagles' jerseys this season have changed from the previous mainly red and white colors to red and dark blue. In other words, Muhammad's No. 2 Eagles jersey and a similar style No. 2 jersey

, no one will wear it in the future.

Of course, it is impossible to retire a jersey, but it is a rare honor for a role player. Muhammad's sealed version of the jersey was placed in the Eagles' honor exhibition room.

When players who left the Hawks in the past two years returned to Atlanta to play for the first time, the Spurs were one of the few new owners of former Hawks players, and they were not envious at all.

Troika Duncan has two champions, and the other two brothers also have one each.

Liu Mang had a brief chat with Muhammad and learned that Muhammad was doing well after switching from the most championship-promising team in the East to the most championship-promising team in the West. He had playing time and the team

Strictly disciplined, the Spurs are a very mature team at this stage, and they can just complete their tasks as role players.

Muhammad did not come to the party yesterday, perhaps to avoid suspicion. The core of the team like the Troika does not have to worry so much. Muhammad has always been a good person. He has long been known for his leadership ability in the locker room. On the contrary,

Players like Muhammad have more to consider. After all, the Spurs have many players who hate Liu Mang.

After chatting for a while, Liu Mang returned to his home half and began reviewing the manuscript with the press officer.

At 8:25, the game is about to start with a few minutes left, and the live broadcasts of ESPN and Chaoting Channel are now cut to the live screen.

Liu Mang took the script he had prepared with the team's press officer a few days ago, took a microphone, and walked to the middle of the stadium. The spotlights and cameras were pointed at him.

This time is different from the past three years. On New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in the past three years, he always came to Chaotingtai to record a blessing video. This time is different, except that half a month ago, Chaotingtai came to him to record a blessing video for New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.

Blessings, put it in the live broadcast of "New Year War"!

"Happy New Year to all fans and friends in front of the TV, and I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Dog..."

When the Eagles checked in in the afternoon, they notified the fans who came to watch the game. When Liu Mang came to the center circle, the fans at the scene quieted down and allowed Liu Mang to do this important thing.

Although...I don't understand...

Liu Mang felt so stressed that he suddenly had a feeling similar to "fear of being close to home". He was even more nervous than returning to China for sneaker promotions in the summer.

After it was over, Liu Mang quickly fled back to the bench.

Regardless of whether they understood it or not, the fans at the scene blushed when they saw Liu Mang on the big screen. When Liu Mang delivered his New Year greetings, they couldn't stop laughing. Seeing Liu Mang escaping in a hurry, the fans at the scene

He burst into laughter.

No matter the fans in front of the TV or at the scene, they never thought that Liu Mang had this side.

Returning to the sidelines, Liu Mang looked at the opponent's ability evaluation.

"Tim Duncan, ability evaluation 96, offense 94, defense 90, rebound 94, three-pointer 49, mid-range shot 90, layup 96, speed 81, strength 94..."

Duncan has indeed become a rookie. In the worst season of his career so far, his ability evaluation has dropped to 96. Both offense and defense have declined to some extent. The offense is relatively good. Duncan has developed the mid-range shot to his personal peak, and Novi

Ski, Garnett's mid-range shooting is definitely incomparable, and it can't be compared with some outside mid-range shooting masters, but he is a tough insider with top-notch singles ability under the basket. He has a top mid-range shooting, but the threat at the basket makes him

He can make more open mid-range shots in singles, and when he's most accurate, his effectiveness is no worse than Garnett or Nowitzki.

The main reason is that the defensive end has declined. From being able to compete for the best defensive players in the past, it has become the edge of top defense.

Ginobili still maintains the peak strength of 90, Parker has made great progress, and his ability evaluation has been improved to 88. The troika is becoming more and more like a troika. Liu Mang estimates that in the next season, the troika will be

The strength should be the most balanced year.

However, except for Duncan's offensive and defensive integration, there is no obvious weakness except for free throws. Parker and Ginobili are two wheels, and the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

Finley, who is a small forward, has an ability rating of 79, and he is still worthy of a fight. The Mavericks did not give up on him because of his large contract. A buyout will still cost money, but just to correct the two ugly situations.

Sprewell's ability rating is 80. He is a treasure acquired by the Spurs. If he hadn't had a big appetite and fell out with the Timberwolves, the only company willing to give him a big contract, he would have been able to get a mid-level contract.

On the bench, there are also coolie insider Muhammad with an ability evaluation of 78, former All-Star Van Exel with an ability evaluation of 77, Nesterovich with an ability evaluation of 74, and Bruce Bowe with a three-point ability evaluation of 88.

Wen, a Slovenian pitcher and point guard Udrij with an ability rating of 75.

The Spurs' lineup is even better than last season!

But... Liu Mang thought of one of the Spurs' insiders named Fabricio Oberto during the Spurs' appearance ceremony today. Liu Mang looked at the No. 21 opposite who refused to admit that he was a center even to death. This season

He is obviously a center, but he still dares to say that he is a power forward. Underneath that honest face is full of greed for the All-Stars.

Oberto is a famous fake this season, Ginobili's Argentina national team teammate, a 31-year-old rookie with an ability rating of 71, averaging 4 points and 4 rebounds in 14 minutes per game.

Liu Mang looked at this inside man, who was probably about the same height as Prince, and said he was a center. Who would believe him?

But this team was really a troublesome opponent. Liu Mang observed the opponent and went to the technical table to apply magnesium powder.

After Liu Mang's pre-game activities ended, the game, which would not end until 11 o'clock at night at the earliest, was about to begin.

Little Jimmy, who came to the sidelines to watch the game, looked at Prince dancing in an increasingly arrogant manner as the lights dimmed, and thought to himself: "Is this what Brother Ace said, no matter how high the heart, people will

How sexy is that? Should I learn to dance?"

…

Following Rasheed Wallace's roar, Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air when the lights came on, and the two teams took the stage.

For the Eagles, all the main players are on the field today. They played against the Timberwolves in the last game. Revenge against the Timberwolves was only a secondary purpose. The main purpose was to get used to the playing style of playing with all the main players in the game against the Spurs.

Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown appear.

For the Spurs, Parker, Sprewell, Finley, Fabricio Oberto and Duncan appeared.

Kwame Brown hit another No. 21 with a double-20 the day before yesterday. He was very excited today and came to the center circle to prepare for a jump ball.

Liu Mang looked at the completely different expressions of the two insiders. Liu Mang felt that his younger brother was a bit embarrassed...

Just when Liu Mang was looking forward to what kind of performance Duncan would have today as the Spurs had shifted their focus from inside offense to outside offense, the system prompt came.

"Ding... the hidden characteristics of the born king: trigger smoothly, every time in his career when the team system changes and his playing style is forced to change, he will progress very smoothly and always maintain his position as the king. From Tim Duncan.

"

Duncan's basic skills, as well as his hard-working training that doesn't like publicity, allow him to remain stable every time when the team undergoes major changes, as always, until he can't play anymore!

Liu Mang was very impressed. In 2015, the Spurs had a poor regular season record and ranked seventh in the Western Conference. After being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, people thought the Spurs were finished. However, in the 2015-16 season, Duncan led the team to win 67 games.

The best record in the team's history...but unfortunately, it was killed by the mid-range shots from the Thunder's two young men.

To be too old to die is to be a thief!

Liu Mang saw that Ginobili had let himself go and showed off his Mediterranean hairstyle. He felt that this guy was too evil!

jump ball!

The referee came to the center circle, blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air.

Duncan's face was expressionless, but his heart was probably in turmoil. After all, the opponent was the only opponent he had ever lost in the finals. He jumped up hard...

Time is cruel. Duncan, who is about to turn 30, has a slower bounce than last season. Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from the top pick.

The Eagles attack first!

Liu Mang received the jump ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and Sprewell immediately moved toward Liu Mang.

That rough defensive action was even more exciting than the Timberwolves' defense!

The key is that the referee didn't call it!

Seeing Sprewell's ferocious look like a wild dog pouncing on food, Liu Mang did not give in. He protected the ball with his right hand and squeezed Sprewell forward with his left shoulder. Liu Mang wanted to move to the right side of the top arc.

His favorite pick-and-roll position, however, Sprewell squeezed tightly to Liu Mang's right side. Liu Mang found a gap on the left, swung the ball toward the back with his right hand, quickly turned 270 degrees, and turned from left to left.

Move sideways.

Liu Mang quickly stepped into the three-point line, and Sprewell caught up. After Liu Mang stepped into the three-point line, he suddenly took a step to the left and jumped to a 45-degree angle on the left. Sprewell was caught by Liu Mang.

With his sudden turn and step back after the breakthrough, he swung directly towards the baseline.

A total joke!

The fans at the scene watched Liu Mang's series of moves knocking Sprewell away, and they were all cheering. Liu Mang's ugly retreat step that everyone is used to is about to come...

but!

Just as Liu Mang retreated to a 45-degree angle, Parker was already blocking him!

Liu Mang caught the ball at the left midfielder and was almost intercepted. Fortunately, he held it firmly with his left hand and immediately passed the ball through with his left hand to Prince in the left corner. Prince received the ball and shot a three-pointer.

…

It was a bit unexpected today, Prince made his first three-point shot!
Chapter completed!
