From today on is the king

Chapter 701 700. Jay Chou is really inaccurate!
Players are always happier when they play games at home. They don’t have to travel long distances, they don’t have to stay idle in the hotel and find things to do while waiting for the game, and most importantly, they don’t have to worry about being beaten when they go out.

For example, Liu, who is very hated now, playing at home is the best.

Woke up in the morning, made breakfast before Little Loli woke up, didn’t eat it, there was a game today, I made breakfast and went to the arena, ate a nutritious meal, after the team tactical training and team meeting in the morning, in the afternoon Liu Mang has been working with his teammates to study the tactics against the Kings, watch the game video of the Kings, and communicate with the teammates who will participate in the game today.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang went to Dinah's school to take Dinah and Alexia to the arena, and then went to do warm-up training, massage and stretching before the game.

At [-]:[-], the entrance ceremony of the two teams began.

The Kings are coming, and the threat to the Eagles is not small. The main reason is that the Kings have won a wave recently. Webber has reintegrated into the Kings. Everyone is sorry for the current lineup, so after Weber came back, the Kings also became a huge threat in the eyes of Eagles fans.

When the Kings players played, especially Peja, the audience booed.

After the Kings players entered the field, looking at the Eagles behind the bench, Prince and Rasheed Wallace in suits, that is, choosing not to play this game, several Kings stars felt a feeling called "humiliation".

The Kings stars were annoyed that the Eagles took turns when they played them!
Many fans don’t understand the importance of Rasheed Wallace. From the data point of view, Rasheed Wallace’s average of 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game is nothing special. When Muhammad was a starter in the past, he averaged double-doubles in two seasons, which seemed much better. But as an NBA player, he understands the importance of Rasheed Wallace better, especially the Kings players who have Webber, who is also a top power forward. The importance of winning for the Eagles.

Liu Mang entered the arena second after Ratliff. After entering the arena, seeing Webber's slightly rounded figure was really eye-catching. However, from the videos of recent games, Webber seems to have learned to start taking advantage of his weight gain. The defense has worsened, but the offense seems to have integrated into the Kings, and there has been no obvious decline.

Liu Mang still admires Webber's golf intelligence.

Feeling the ferocious gaze from Peja, Liu Mang spread out his palms. Under Peja's gaze, the tips of his palms straightened his forehead from the temples, and then touched the back of his head. The fans at the scene saw Liu Mang's movements and made a "wow..." sound.

Liu Mang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, are he still his own fans?No face at all.

The smell of gunpowder between the two teams is getting stronger, the hostility and anger of the Kings players, and the fear of the fans on the Kings, the two are combined. The Eagles players did not regard the Kings as their final opponents, but now the smell of gunpowder has become stronger.

……

Following the roar of Rasheed Wallace recorded and broadcast on the big screen, the cheers of the audience reached a boiling point. After Liu Mang and Boozer beat their chests and embraced, they both stepped onto the court.

Today's Hawks starting lineup is Liu Mang, Korver, Raheem, Boozer, Ratliff.

It seems that the defense of the Eagles lineup has dropped by more than one level. This is why Liu Mang felt that Alexander was in this game. Relatively speaking, Korver is not bad. His single defense is not particularly bad, and his assist defense is unexpectedly good. The main reason is that Boozer's defense is really eye-catching.

Kings starting lineup for Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Brad - Miller.

A few days before this year’s trade deadline, 28 teams in the league were traded. It is known as the craziest trade deadline in history. From the end of the finals to the draft, there was no change in draft picks, so it was impossible to trade. So many teams who don’t want to trade draft picks but don’t want to leave their extra stars to new teams.

This is why after the Kings added a Brad Miller who can replace Divac, many fans think that the Kings can return to the glory of two years ago. Their lineup has not changed much, and most of the players are at their peak.

Ratliff and Brad Miller came to the middle circle to jump the ball. Ratliff's bounce was not so good, but he was much better than Brad Miller, and easily won the jump ball.

The Eagles go first.

After receiving the ball, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt. The speed of advancement was obviously slower. Compared with the previous three or four seconds to reach the frontcourt, the ball took more than six seconds.

The starting lineup of the Eagles is not suitable for playing fast. Korver, Boozer, and Ratliff are three slow players on the court, so they can only play positions, so Liu Mang tried to slow down the pace after the start.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and as soon as he reached the three-point line, Christie immediately defended him.

Christie deserves to be the defensive champion of the league's first team defense!It put huge defensive pressure on Liu Mang. Regarding the aggressive defense of this 34-year-old veteran, Liu Mang did not expect that when he played at the home court of the Kings last time, Christie was obviously not so active in defense!

Feeling Christie's pressure, Liu Mang took a step back and began to change directions to break through. Christie immediately pressed up on Liu Mang and continued to press the defense. Liu Mang was a little strange, he had already vacated a little space, and the opponent pressed up. Is this a defensive mistake?
Following the strength of Christie's pressure, Liu Mang wiped past Christie, and as soon as he entered the three-point line, he understood why Christie was defending like that. Bibby, who was defending Korver, had already flanked him, and he caught Liu Mang with Christie one after the other!
Moreover, Bibby's defensive position and the timing of the pincer attack were very well grasped. Liu Mang almost hit Bibby directly, which might be an offensive foul!
The king's defensive strategy is quite obvious, blocking Liu Mang and leaving Korver out!

Liu Mang almost bumped into Bibby, turned around with a top to avoid Bibby, but the ball had already been picked up, and in the process of turning around, he tried his best to throw the ball, and it was sent to the empty Korver without any mistakes.

This is Korver's first start in his career. He didn't expect him to start. The Eagles have always focused on defense. Except for Boozer, other players with poor defense have not started this season.

Korver was very nervous, and threw it directly after receiving the ball. He was quite excited, and then there was a "clang", iron!

Korver was too nervous, as if someone was chasing and biting him in such a large open space, he shot the iron in a panic.

Brad Miller grabs the defensive rebound, and Adelman on the sidelines smiles. Korver looks like he can attract the defense. His performance in the three-point contest is really amazing, but today the Eagles put Korver in the starting lineup. Adelman immediately chooses to let Korver go and give him a chance.A rookie takes on the task of starting, and he is suddenly promoted from the administrator of the drinking fountain to starting. This kind of mentality imbalance has long been expected by the famous coach Adelman.

The Kings attacked, and Brad Miller passed the ball to Bibby. After Bibby advanced to the frontcourt, the moment before Korver defended, he threw a three-pointer directly!
With excellent judgment and confidence in himself, Korver was still in the loss of not scoring a three-pointer. His defensive action was a bit slower, and Bibby yan-sheed a three-pointer!
The key is to get in!

The Kings are picking up speed!This attack took only 8 seconds, and it was thrown almost as soon as it reached the three-point line.

The rhythm choices of the two teams are very different!

Liu Mang went to chase Peja, and Korver went to defend Bibby. He didn't expect to be blown up so badly at the beginning, and then he realized that the last match was not Bibby's poor defense, but Prince's defense was too good!

The impact of Prince's absence was felt immediately.

Seeing that Korver was very disappointed, Liu Mang went to pick up the ball, patted Korver's shoulder to comfort him, Korver nodded, Liu Mang sent the ball to Korver from outside the baseline, and Korver passed it back to Liu Mang, Liu Mang continued to press the rhythm and advance to the frontcourt.

Pressing down on the eight-second illegal slow pace, when Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, his teammates had already settled down. Liu Mang suddenly increased his speed and wanted the Kings to be caught off guard, but unexpectedly, Bibby's defensive prediction was too good. He came up to pinch Liu Mang with Christie at the first time. Liu Mang chose to trust Korver again and passed the ball.

Korver took a deep breath after receiving the ball and made another three-pointer!
It's good to have confidence, but the goal still didn't go in!
Fortunately, the Kings are the last in the league in rebounds this year, with an average of 41 rebounds per game and an average of 44 rebounds lost per game. The average rebound plus-minus value is second to last in the league, second only to the Supersonics.

It was not easy to get two points, but looking back, Korver, who was shot by Bibby for a three-pointer last time, was very aggressive and pressed towards Bibby this time, but he was too aggressive and was passed by Bibby!
Bibby rushed to the basket, completed the connection with Webber, attracted Boozer to shrink and gave it to Webber, and Webber made a mid-range shot!

5 to 2, the Kings started with an advantage!

The Eagles started off in a very unfavorable situation!
Liu Mang was flanked as soon as halftime passed, and there was no chance to pass to Raheem on the inside. Raheem wanted to play singles, and Liu Mang had to find a pass opportunity, but he passed to Korver and Korver couldn’t make a shot.
The touch seemed to be contagious, and Liu Mang's strong shot missed. The Kings protected the defensive rebound this time and quickly counterattacked. Peja's chasing three-pointer!

The start was beaten 8 to 2, and the Eagles were forced to call a timeout!
