After losing to the Mavericks, they came to Denver on the 27th. Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown, who were going to play today, were seriously studying the Nuggets' highly impactful inside combination, Kenyon Martin,

Nene and Camby's inside three are the league's top inside combination.

The Eagles are preparing for this game very seriously. The Eagles have not lost consecutive games this season. Even if it is consecutive away games, the Eagles players do not want to lose consecutive games.

On the 28th, Liu Mang and his teammates came to the Pepsi Center in Denver to challenge the Nuggets away from home.

Due to the tight schedule, Liu Mang did not have a drink with Anthony yesterday, nor did he meet in person.

Among the top five picks of the 2003 generation, the one who has the most common relationship with Liu Mang is Anthony.

Anthony has always been unique.

After saying hello before the game, Liu Mang looked at Anthony's ability evaluation.

"Carmelo Anthony, ability evaluation 90, offense 95, defense 83, three-pointer 84, mid-range shot 87, layup 92, speed 90, strength 87..."

Anthony is not a fat guy now. He is running and playing under coach George Karl. His defense seems to be okay and his speed is top-notch.

With top stars like Anthony, power forwards like Kenyon Martin and Nene who are extremely capable of attacking the basket, big centers like Camby, passing masters like Andre Miller and low-post singles masters, the bench

There is a group of outstanding substitutes, and they are receiving a large number of rookie bonuses...

As an active player, Liu Mang finds it puzzling that the Nuggets are still competing for a playoff spot.

Even though he knew that Anthony was not doing well leading the team, Liu Mang was still confused when he personally saw Anthony struggling with such a lineup.

That kind of lineup, for James... even for Paul, who is still a rookie, can take off immediately.

But such confusion only occurs before the game starts.

After the game started, Liu Mang understood.

Anthony is not in the same rhythm as the other Nuggets players!

After the game started, Liu Mang also received a system prompt.

"Ding... Innate skill: Unparalleled trigger, from Carmelo Anthony."

"Unparalleled: Characteristic 1: General: Carmelo Anthony, who has great potential and skills, has the personal ability to restore the dignity of the team one on five in adversity. He becomes stronger when he is strong and cannot compete with any superstar.

Falling into the wind.

Characteristic 2: Stubbornness: Without a suitable system and suitable teammates, Carmelo Anthony, who is an absolute strength, may become a stumbling block to the team's progress."

Anthony, whose ability evaluation has been raised to 90 or above, is one of the most talented players and has early acquired the ability to be judged as a natural talent by the system.

But this talent and skill... reminded Liu Mang of what happened a few years later. No matter how well Anthony led the team, he would only win 50 games at most. And Anthony was clamoring to leave. After being traded to the Knicks, George Karl

Use a group of role players to easily win 57 games...

If Anthony wants to play better, he must be given an organizer with the ability to control the court like Kidd or Billups to guide the team's rhythm to the rhythm that Anthony needs.

Anthony himself does not have that ability and needs a field control master to help him. Even Kidd, who is about to retire in the future, can be useful.

It’s not that Anthony has no strength, but his playing style is too traditional. Today, when the top five singles players like Koai McCartney are changing their playing styles, Anthony is still the same. From his rookie season to now, his playing style is still the retro tradition.

The style of play has not changed at all.

George Karl is an admirer of run-and-gun and one of the pioneers of defensive counterattack plus run-and-gun. But when Anthony was still thin now, he had defensive ability but no defensive attitude. He was not active in counterattack and running. He was used to playing in a high-low position.

One, it did a lot of damage to George Karl's system.

Liu Mang believes that Anthony should be given a Zen master, a peak O'Neal, and a peak Kidd who can definitely win the championship. Let Kidd do Kobe's organization and defense and Fisher's three-point shooting, and let Anthony be Kobe.

A singles player like that...

But if there were peak Kidd and O'Neal... I guess that team wouldn't want Anthony...

Anthony is also a thorn in the side.

The Nuggets have a common feature when playing against major strong teams in the past two years, which is that when playing tactics, because Anthony and his teammates do not match the rhythm, the Nuggets cannot rely on talent like they do against weak teams, and are defeated by strong teams.

Playing with pressure, the Nuggets fell behind by more than ten points at halftime. Then in the second half, the Nuggets gave up their tactics and let Anthony attack one by one. They used Anthony's singles ability to beat the opponent to death. It felt like "Lu Bu is reincarnated one versus five".

It fully demonstrated Anthony's personal ability and allowed Anthony to play beautiful statistics. At the same time, Anthony is indeed very capable. He can close the point difference by relying on his single distribution, but it is hard to say whether he will win or lose in the end.

It was the same today. In the first quarter, the Nuggets wanted to play tactics. Facing the Eagles led by Liu Mang, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown, they were beaten. In the second quarter, the Nuggets began to panic.

At halftime, the Eagles were 59-45, leading by 14 points entering the second half.

In the third quarter, as expected, coach George Karl was forced to let Anthony lead the offense.

But this time we encounter no ordinary strong enemy, but the strongest scorer in the league!

Anthony made a three-point shot, and Liu Mang immediately responded. Anthony made a strong shot from outside the three-point line, and Liu Mang counterattacked with a three-pointer...

When Anthony got to the basket, he was hit by Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace. Anthony passed the ball well, but the biggest difference between him and James in passing was vision. When he got to the basket, he didn't know where to pass the ball.

, so he got the nickname "hat boy".

Liu Mang used the pick and roll to get to the basket, feed Kwame Brown, or pass back to Rasheed Wallace at the top of the arc after he broke through to the basket to attract a double attack.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang played 41 minutes today, making 11 of 21 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 31 points and 3 rebounds and 13 rebounds.

Assist, helping the Hawks beat the Nuggets 119-98, a 21-point difference.

In this game, Anthony only scored 6 points in the first half, scored 35 points in the second half, and scored as high as 41 points in the game!

Fans often don't notice that the tactics are wrong. Anthony's efficiency in the first half was pretty good. He scored 6 points on 2 of 5 shots. In the second half, he scored 35 points on 12 of 25 shots. He scored 14 of 30 shots in the game.

45 points is indeed efficient and powerful, giving people a feeling of "I have tried my best but my teammates can't help."

After the game, Liu Mang returned to the hotel and read the news online. As he expected, Anthony was only in his third year. With such a performance, people would only see his strengths, but not some of his flaws.

.

However, Liu Mang and Anthony are not that close, and their relationship is far worse than that of the gay couple Liu Mang and James Wei. Liu Mang doesn't have to risk offending each other to remind him of anything, and he doesn't have much to do with him.

.

Xiao Zhan Zhan took the initiative to consult, so Liu Mang taught him the Pure Land of Paradise. Liu Mang didn't want to give the title of King of Dance to Anthony. He had a better choice...

…

…

After defeating the Nuggets, the Hawks returned to the East all the way and continued to play away games consecutively, playing the Nets on the 2nd and the Celtics on the 4th.

In the past few games after losing to the Mavericks, the Hawks players played very focused. It was relatively easy to beat the Nets in the two games. Kidd's old knee injury affected him and he did not play due to injury. The Hawks won 94-80 easily.

Defeated the Nets, who played great defense.

On the other hand, it was very difficult to play against the Celtics on No. 4. The Celtics went crazy when they met the Hawks. They didn't even try to grab the No. 1 pick because they wanted to win.

Fortunately, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady are playing today, and there is also Jason Terry on the bench.

Under the desperate defense of the Celtics, the Hawks' role players performed poorly, but the three top players in the league simply relied on their personal abilities and scored consecutively at critical moments. In the end, Liu Mang scored 22 points and Tracy McGrady scored 22 points.

21 points, Jason Terry scored 24 points, and the Three Eagles combined for 67 points to help the Hawks beat the Celtics 93-89 to win their third consecutive victory.

After winning three consecutive games, the Hawks returned to Atlanta on the night of the 4th. On the 5th, they played the 76ers back-to-back at home. Although they had just experienced a long six-game away streak, it was also a back-to-back game after the last game of the six-game away game.

, but this time the Eagles held on. The break during the All-Star Weekend really helped the Eagles a lot. Although the touch was not good, the Eagles defended very well. 85 to 80, relying on Liu Mang's 27 points and 7 points.

With assists and 11 rebounds, the Hawks defeated the 76ers led by Iverson, who scored 18 points and 10 assists, and won their fourth consecutive victory.

However, this kind of brutal back-to-back games without more than one day's rest is not the only one this month...

And not later, but right away!

The Hawks will play the Bucks at home on March 7, the Trail Blazers at home on March 9, the Bucks on the road on March 11 and the Magic at home on March 12. The Hawks will soon have four games in six days...

On the 7th, 9th, and 11th, the Hawks won these three games and won a wave of 7 consecutive victories. However, when they played the Magic on the 12th, they finally couldn't hold on anymore and the winning streak was ended.

The record became 57 wins and 6 losses.

The general situation in March is like this. The opponents may not be that strong, or even playoff-level teams are not that strong in the eyes of the Eagles. However, this month, with 6 back-to-back games in 31 days, the Eagles have been in a long distance.

The key to flying status is that there are so many away games. The Eagles played 28 games in the first two months and played 18 home games. After that, they were evenly distributed over the next four months, with only five or six home games per month...

After losing one game, the Eagles tighten up and win a few consecutive games. Then, after they start to become mentally and physically exhausted, they lose another game.

On March 18, the Hawks defeated the Celtics at home, improving their record to 60 wins and 6 losses, becoming the first team in the league to win 60 games this season.

By March 24, after playing four games in five days, the Eagles improved their record to 63 wins and 7 losses.

On March 27, the Eagles won the last back-to-back in March, winning both games and winning 3 consecutive games. Their record improved to 65 wins and 7 losses. All six brutal back-to-backs this month were completed!

However, the next most difficult schedule of this season has arrived. On the 29th and 31st, the Hawks will play against the Mavericks and Spurs at home and away respectively!

In early April, there will be a second match against the Lakers and Suns this season, both games at home!

The Eagles want to limit their losses to less than 10 games, and these four opponents are the most difficult to deal with!

Originally, at the beginning of the season, the Eagles regarded these four games as strong opponents to reshape the team's lineup after the break, and they were looking forward to these games.

Unexpectedly, these four opponents have become the biggest difficulty before them!

But this is great for the Alliance!

The Eagles want to win more than 72 games. Needless to say, the media has already started to promote it, and the fans also have a consensus on this matter.

Naturally, these strong teams do not want to be the background for the Eagles to break the historical record, and they will definitely go all out to attack the Eagles.

The Eagles have just experienced "March Madness" and stole the limelight of the NCAA March Madness. The Eagles are now in the fatigue stage, and they may not know how they will perform in the next four games.
