From today on is the king

Chapter 1348. 1347. Strong Wind and Rainstorm

"Wrath of the Windchaser series of tasks: the invasion of the storm triggers."

"Invasion of the storm: The Suns with Shaq O'Neal and Steve Nash have a weird and changeable style of play, and they can play a game rhythm that is as fast as a storm. Mission goal 1: In the game against the Suns on December 2006, 12, the number of assists exceeded Steve Nash. Goal 19: The number of three-pointers made by the team where the host is located must be higher than the number of three-pointers made by the Suns. Goal 2: Win the game. Mission reward: Completing one mission goal will reward 3 superstar points; completing two mission goals will reward a special card: Shark Buckle; completing three mission goals will reward Steve Nash with a 1-2003 season star card (note: this star card is evaluated based on actual performance). Mission rewards can be stacked. Failure penalty: Invite Shaq O’Neal to do a TV show that Shaq O’Neal wants to do.”

"Shark's Buckle: In a singles play with the ball inside, if there are no more than two opponents pinched, when the host tries to block the dunk, if the opponent does not take a foul, the dunk cannot be blocked."

"Depend on!"

He was hated already, but if the mission failed, wouldn't he be hated even more?
Do a show with O'Neill?Big Five?

This is what Liu Mang thought of!
That is really the rhythm of offending the star to death, because the star takes more shots and takes more shots, so there are also many embarrassing shots...

However, the name of this mission made Liu Mang feel that it fits the Suns team. The big shark inhabiting the sea, and the son of the wind running in the wind, combined, isn't it a storm.

If D'Antoni is coaching this team, Liu Mang is not worried about the strength of the Suns at all, but if it is Gentry...he is the head coach who can return to the top and reach the Western Conference Finals with the 36-year-old Nash.

A super point guard can bring the coaching career of many coaches to the peak, such as Kidd to Byron Scott, Nash to Mike D'Antoni.

Similarly, Gentry also relied on Nash to make a name for himself. When there is no super point guard like Nash or Rondo, Gentry's coaching seems to be very ordinary, not as good as his assistant coach.

Nash's star card for the 03-04 season has a note. It is estimated that he has no talent and skills, because he did not show it at the time. He is just an excellent singles player, and his shooting will not be better than Liu Mang's now.

Shark Buckle...

This is quite exciting, if you want to say who Liu Mang most wants to be separated from... A picture suddenly appeared in Liu Mang's mind, and he quickly shook his head.

"It's brother! How can we detain him? No way..."

If D'Antoni is coaching this team, Liu Mang is not worried about the strength of the Suns at all, but if it is Gentry...he is the head coach who can return to the top and reach the Western Conference Finals with the 36-year-old Nash.

A super point guard can bring the coaching career of many coaches to the peak, such as Kidd to Byron Scott, Nash to Mike D'Antoni.

Similarly, Gentry also relied on Nash to make a name for himself. When there is no super point guard like Nash or Rondo, Gentry's coaching seems to be very ordinary, not as good as his assistant coach.

But with Nash, there are so many excellent role players, and now the Suns are starting to save O’Neal’s method, which is really a headache, especially Josh Smith still has more than one year of rookie contract, and Calderon’s cheap contract is still more than one year, the Suns can have a lot of room for manipulation...

Liu Mang originally thought that the Suns would definitely decline, and the Suns would not be able to break out of the quagmire until O'Neal reached the contract year and could be traded to a team that wanted to make room for salary.

But I didn't expect the Suns to fire D'Antoni, which was beyond Liu Mang's expectation.

Looking at the logo of the Suns in the arena, Liu Mang realized that this team cannot be ignored!

……

……

"Happy birthday, Dinah."

"Dinah has grown up,..."

"Dinah, this is the lipstick you've always wanted. Auntie brought you back from France..."

"Dinah..."

"..."

"..."

……

Liu Mang looked at two huge suitcases filled with presents that little Lori had received from her teammates and their girlfriends, wives, etc., and didn't know what to say.

They are all team favorites!
From the end of Liu Mang's first season in the NBA, Little Lolita often wandered around the team's arena. She was even more familiar with the family members of the team members than Liu Mang.

The most familiar one is probably Jason Terry. After all, Liu Mang has never left Jason Terry in his career.

Some fans joked that without Jason Terry, Liu Mang hadn't made the playoffs yet, and Liu Mang really couldn't refute this.

"Dinah, what do you want this electric bicycle for? Isn't Christine driving you when you go out?" Liu Mang looked at the electric bicycle in the living room, his flesh ached!
More than 1 U.S. dollars, buy an electric bicycle, is it made of gold!

"Dinah also wants to ride a bicycle when she goes out, but riding a bicycle is so tiring, this is just right." Little Lolita was very happy, today there were a lot of gifts, and she even got an expensive electric bicycle from Liu Mang.

"You ride, what about Christine?"

"Dinah will buy it for Aunt Wagner."

"..." Liu Mang asked speechlessly, looking at the little loli who looked like a local tyrant chick, "Then how do you get it back?"

"Uncle, don't you want to play the five consecutive players? After the Lakers, we will go back by ourselves. Mom has already contacted the charter flight."

"..."

Liu Mang felt defeated by this mother and daughter...

Liu Mang casually took a look at the gifts from teammates and their families who came to their suite to give gifts early this morning, and there were even lipstick and eye shadows...

This little lolita has also grown up... Liu Mang is a little melancholy...

……

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang came to the American West Arena to meet up with his teammates. Then yesterday afternoon's training continued to focus on the Suns' recent style of play.

After two training sessions, the team meeting was held again to discuss some details that should be paid attention to.

The Eagles attach great importance to the three consecutive away games in the West this time, and even the next two away games in the Eastern Conference to add up to five consecutive away games.

If you are not careful, you may be overtaken by the Heat!

It is unacceptable for the Hawks not to be number one in the Eastern Conference, but it is unacceptable to lose the number one spot in the division and fall to the second half of the playoffs.

In particular, the Hawks had so few games in the first two months, so they had plenty of time to prepare, and they couldn’t afford to lose. In the three months of January-March, when the schedule is difficult, if they are chasing the record after falling behind, it will be as difficult as the 1-3 season.

After the active preparations, in the afternoon, the Eagles players went back to their hotels or rested in the lounge of the American West Arena.

After Liu Mang took his family to the arena in the afternoon, he began to warm up...

……

……

"Avril, call Dad."

"Gaga..." Avril opened her mouth and shouted, but it's a pity that she is neither a Chinese nor an English father...

"Father..." But the baby beside him was showing his face too forcefully.

"..." Liu Mang rubbed the face of his daughter who couldn't stop laughing, and couldn't help asking: "Aida, your daughter is so stupid! How come Bekas knows how to call Dad, but she still can't!"

"...I want Avril to call her daddy so she can't teach herself!" Alexia gave Liu Mang a blank look, took her daughter back, and sat in the third row.

The owner of the Suns gave the tickets, which were in the first row, and the price was more expensive than the private boxes. Unfortunately, the private boxes in the American West Arena were under maintenance and could not be used. Alexia and the babysitter with their two cubs could only go to the sidelines to watch the game. They exchanged tickets with the fans in the back row, which made the fans happy.

There is more than double the price difference between the first row and the second row of ball tickets, let alone the third row.

"It's too much!" Liu Mang came to the field, and O'Neill also came.

The two shook hands in a friendly manner. As the two most honored players in active service, one inside and one outside, in the best lineups in history, many people put the two of them in the positions of point guard and center.

Seeing O'Neal, who gained two laps of weight compared to last season and even a lap of fat compared to the Lakers, Liu Mang couldn't help complaining: "Shaq, it's time to lose weight."

"That's handsome. What do you know? Rich people are handsome like this." O'Neill shook hands and dropped a sentence, shaking his big butt and returning to his own half.

Looking at O'Neill's back, Liu Mang was filled with emotion... How fat!
Shaq O'Neal has an ability rating of 90 and 95. His offense at the basket is still very strong, and he is still unstoppable when his physical strength is good. He is about to turn 35. His performance is similar to that of Eddie Curry in the fourth grade, and he is stronger on the defensive end. He is still good at blocking shots, but he is limited by his age and physical ability.

Nash is still at his peak, and his ability evaluation of 95 has not improved, which is normal. He will be 33 years old in two months, and it will be amazing if he does not decline.

With an average of 18 points and 10.6 assists per game, Nash is the only player with double figures in assists this season. After being continuously bullied by Tracy McGrady and Liu Mang, he finally has a chance to win the assists title.

Josh Smith, with an ability rating of 86, is comparable to LeBron James in terms of physical fitness. His basketball IQ is almost as good as Nash's. His layup ability rating is as high as 92. He is very good at attacking the basket.

The data of 21+8+3 per game is very beautiful. The experience of how to play in a strong team learned by the Eagles made Josh-Smith a fish in water in the Suns, especially after the Suns' record improved, Josh-Smith's performance became better.

Calderon, ability evaluation 81... Great improvement, soared directly to the quasi-first-class level, 92 three-point evaluation, 96 passing evaluation... averaged 11 points and 6 assists per game, passed a lot of pressure, shared a lot of pressure from Nash, tall enough to play shooting guard, 50.00% shooting rate of 40.00%, 90.00% two-point shooting percentage, [-]% three-point free throw percentage...

Calderon is the only member of the 180 club this season. He is better than Nash with a shooting percentage of 48+42+94.

The main reason is that the confrontation encountered is great, and he doesn't restrain his shots like Nash.

Boris Diaw with an ability rating of 85, Raja Bell with a defensive rating of 94 this season's most popular defense, a double-Thomas substitute inside combination, James Jones... Marcus Banks, Jaylen Rose...

The substitutes are almost all players with 70+ ability evaluation!
After O'Neal was traded to the Suns, there were a lot of people who came to hug their thighs, which gave Gentry the capital to reverse the bad start!

……

As Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, boos arose, and the starting players of the two teams came on the stage.

The Eagles didn’t receive so many boos today. Except for Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady who stole Nash’s assists title, the others had no grievances with the Suns. Even Raja Bell’s crime against Liu Mang was resolved after the Suns sent Marion, an all-star power forward, to the Eagles.

Moreover, Marion made his debut as the Eagles starter and received cheers.

In the 04-05 season, Marion helped the Suns play a run-and-gun storm, and the fans here still remember it.

And now the two main players of the Suns are from the Eagles, they have performed very well, and the relationship between the two teams is not bad.

Liu Mang and McGrady... If Nash hadn't had a chance to win the assists title this season, they would have hated these two guys to death.

No one except Liu Wei would have thought that in two or three years, Nash, who is 36 and seven years old, would still be the assist king under Gentry...

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Marion, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

The Suns sent Nash, Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, Josh Smith, and O'Neal to the starting lineup.

Kwame Brown and O'Neal came to the middle circle to jump the ball.

As the referee whistled, Liu Mang was ready to go!
Liu Mang was not disappointed. After the referee threw the ball to the highest point, Kwame Brown slapped the ball to the left, and Liu Mang rushed up to catch the ball like an arrow.

fast!
When O'Neal was on the court, it was the Eagles who wanted to play fast!
Liu Mang accelerated his start and caught the Suns by surprise!
Raja Bell and Dior reacted quickly, blocked up and Liu Mang quickly gave the ball to McGrady. McGrady rushed inside, and Kwame Brown moved forward, but he stepped to the free throw line first and blocked O'Neal who recovered the basket. McGrady used Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll to break into the inside.

Sean Marion's air cut button!

Marion returned to the place where his dream started. The first ball, of course, was for Marion!
