Chapter 905 904. Crying Babies Have Milk (Seeking Monthly Pass)
The game between the Eagles and the Bulls was surprising, and the Bulls' revenge against Liu Mang was too deliberate.
However, the fans and the media always observe the behavior of the players from the perspective of God, thinking that how they play is correct.
But if the players can really play the ball completely correctly, there will be Larry Brown destroying Milicic, there will be Jordan destroying Kwame Brown, and there will be Eddie Curry's wasted talent... Wait?
Players are also human beings with their own emotions, likes and dislikes.
This is also the most interesting point in the NBA, there will always be unexpected situations.
He easily won 7 consecutive victories, but Liu Mang was in a bad mood.
The scoring average has dropped from 36.7 to 36.4 points, and it takes at least 55 points a game to make up for it!
Although I got the task of thanking the Bulls for the second time in a row to win the opponent's 2000 superstar value, but the malice towards the Bulls has become deeper, and I will continue to abuse next time!
The big deal is that if you don't score points, it's abuse!
Liu Mang is so unwilling, the Bulls are taking revenge on him!Revenge for his last massacre!
"This grudge, the young master has written it down!"
……
On the second day after playing the Bulls, that is, on February 2th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the All-Star substitute lineup was announced.
Stu Jackson announced from the visiting team's Eastern Conference All-Star bench.
Vince Carter of the Nets, Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace of the Pistons, Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal of the Heat, LeBron James of the Cavaliers, and Rasheed Wallace of the Eagles were selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star bench.
Adding Liu Mang, McGrady, and Kwame Brown, the Hawks have a total of 4 players selected for the All-Star Game.
After the East All-Star substitute was announced, the West All-Star substitute was not announced immediately, but it was announced that Chauncey Billups would miss the All-Star Game due to injury, and Chris Bosh, who was also a member of the Pistons, was selected as the All-Star substitute.
Vince Carter also missed the All-Star Game due to injury, and Darko Milicic of his old team, the Raptors, was selected for the All-Star bench.
In the West, Steve Francis and Ray Allen of the Supersonics, Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion of the Suns, Richard Jefferson of the Rockets, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, and Manu Ginobili of the Spurs were selected as the Western Conference All-Star bench.
Ray Allen has missed several games due to a knee injury, and will not play games before the All-Star Weekend. Ray Allen accepted the team's suggestion to withdraw from the All-Star Weekend. His teammate Rashard Lewis was selected as an All-Star substitute.
After the tactical training in the afternoon, the Eagles players watched the live broadcast of the announcement of the All-Star substitutes in the lounge together.
In the morning, the Eagles received a notice that Rasheed Wallace was named to the All-Star bench.
Billups, Carter, and Ray Allen notified the league in the morning that they were withdrawing from the All-Star Game due to injuries, so when the reserve list was announced in the afternoon, David Stern had already decided on three candidates for the reserve position.
Both the Suns and the Supersonics had three players selected for the All-Star Game. Liu Mang lamented how easy it is for a counterattack team to be recognized in awards. This was the case in his rookie season. Even if he was not selected for the All-Star normally, David Stern hand-picked him. In addition to him, Ratliff, Raheem, and Jason Terry of the Hawks were also selected for the All-Star.
Rasheed Wallace came to the Eagles for two years and was selected to the All-Star Game for two years. In the Trail Blazers, he played for eight years before being selected for the All-Star twice.
After receiving the trophy, Rasheed Wallace was so happy that he showed his iconic magical smile, and his teammates ran away in fright.
The efficiency of the league is still very fast, and it was prepared in advance. Not long after the official live broadcast announced the All-Star substitute lineup in the afternoon, league officials sent the trophies of the four Eagles All-Star players to the Phillips Center.
After taking photos with the league officials, Liu Mang held the round trophy and couldn't help playing with it for a while every time.
It looks very similar to the All-Star MVP trophy, except that the base below is very small, and it says 2003-2004 All-Star Game Ace Liu.
And under the All-Star MVP trophy, there is a long string of words, and the base is much larger.
Of course, the base of the regular All-Star MVP trophy is woefully small compared to Jordan's.
The Eagles have also prepared in advance to hold a press conference to announce that there are four All-Star players.
Generally speaking, the press conference went smoothly. There were no accidents. Kwame Brown was targeted and asked a few questions, but he was more obedient than Liu Mang, and he answered exactly according to the answers given by the press officer, which made the media feel boring.
Liu Mang, McGrady, and Rasheed Wallace are not selected for the first time in the All-Star starters. Although they value the selection, they put it aside after being selected.
Other Eagles players also congratulated. It is impossible for others to be selected as All-Stars.
Originally, Jason Terry saw that he was not among the candidates, so he also looked away. O'Neal, Pierce, Arenas and others were all lost. What else could he not see?Knowing that he has been selected for an All-Star weekend depends on his good starting record at that time, and the data of the sixth man and the record of the team he is in as a sixth man are always unpopular in the selection of the All-Star substitute.
This situation has existed for a long time. Even Bill Walton didn't make an All-Star when he was playing the sixth man. What else can Jason Terry say.
but!
Liu Mang pulled Jason Terry aside before the press conference: "Jason, it is not impossible for you to be selected as an All-Star next time. If we win two consecutive championships, you will definitely have a chance to be selected as an All-Star next season. However, the chance of you playing the sixth man is not high, so you have to make trouble!"
"Trouble?" Jason Terry asked.
"Do you have younger siblings in your family?" Liu Mang asked.
"Of course there is, but what does it have to do with this? Let my younger siblings help me canvass? Oh, they are not good children, it's good if they don't discredit me." Jason Terry didn't understand what he meant.
"No, you helped take care of your younger siblings when you were young, right? When feeding them, did you feed them because someone was crying and hungry?" Liu Mang asked.
"Of course, they can't talk. I must have cried before I knew they were hungry." Jason Terry still didn't understand.
"That's right, as the saying goes, a crying child has milk. If you don't remind those coaches how good you are as a sixth man, how would they think of selecting you as an All-Star?" Liu Mang was originally joking with Jason Terry, but he believed it...
And Jason Terry believed it too!
Crying babies get milk!Jason Terry believed in Liu Mang's evil...
During an interview, Jason Terry fired: "I'm not targeting a certain All-Star player. They are all eligible for the All-Star selection, but I don't understand why I lost the selection. We are the league.
The media did not expect that the object of the dug out news would be Jason Terry!
……
……
Jason Terry's remarks made the fans find "arguments". After the All-Star substitute list came out, there were constant complaints.
The alliance's behavior of wanting to praise the 03 generation is too eye-catching!
Bosh is okay, although the Pistons scoring leader is Hamilton, who averaged 20+ per game, and is more qualified to replace Billups as an All-Star substitute, but Bosh is also eligible, with an average of 18.7 points and 9 rebounds per game. The data is also one of the best among Eastern power forwards. Jermaine O'Neal has been suspended for so many games this season, and Bosh has no problem being selected as an All-Star substitute.
But for Milicic, 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 2.2 blocks are good. There are indeed few powerful insiders in the Eastern Conference, but the record is too poor. A second-year center from a poor team was selected as an All-Star substitute. No matter how you look at it, it is unreasonable.
Of course, no coach voted for him. David Stern picked him after Carter withdrew, which further exposed the fact that the league favored the 03 generation.
Now with Jason Terry yelling about injustice, fans have an argument and they have room to attack David Stern.
But David Stern doesn't care about these criticisms. The top five picks of the 03 generation have the potential to become the league's first-line stars, and they have already begun to show their strength.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. One day when these young players become the players who dominate the league, who will remember the early strong support?What I remember is how good they were selected as All-Stars in the second grade.
And there is a reason why David Stern favored the 03 generation. The trend of continued weakness in the East is still spreading. Four of the top five picks in the 03 generation are in the East, which may be the future pillar of the Eastern team.
Although David Stern has been criticized in many places, he did his best for the league.
……
The league's strong promotion of the 03 generation caused heated discussions, but there was one person in the top five picks of the 03 generation that alone sparked discussions among fans.
The top five picks in the 03 generation, the No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick, and the No. [-] pick were all selected for the All-Star bench lineup, only missing Anthony!
And this All-Star Weekend was held at Anthony's home court, Denver's Pepsi Center. The other four top five picks of the 03 generation all made it to the All-Star Game, but Anthony didn't make it.
Anthony was already upset when he didn't receive the notification from the league in the morning, but when the original list of Eastern Conference All-Star substitutes came out in the afternoon, only James and Wade were selected as the All-Star substitutes in the same class, Anthony felt balanced.
James' data is so good that his record is not particularly bad, which is acceptable. Wade has the third record in the Eastern Conference and second in the Eastern Conference, and Anthony can't match it.
Anthony can accept both.
But when the two lists of the Eastern Conference's All-Star substitute candidates were announced, Anthony felt unbalanced.
Why was the top five of the 03 generation, and the other four were all selected, but he didn't?
When the Western All-Star bench lineup was announced, it was announced that Ray Allen had retired, and Anthony's eyes lit up again. Could it be that he is going to be selected?
Then I heard the name of Rashad Lewis. At first, Anthony still felt that he was with him. Neither Milicic nor Bosh made the All-Star.
Who knew no one would accompany him!
Everyone else was selected as an All-Star, but he was the only one who was not selected!
In the evening, before the game against the Hornets, Anthony saw the news about the Eagles. Jason Terry was dissatisfied with not making the All-Star and fired at the league. Anthony felt that he had found a sense of identity.
Carmelo Anthony, who played the Hornets vigorously, scored 46 points in the evening game to set a new career high. After the game, he complained to the media that there was a problem with the selection of the league's designated All-Star substitute. He is more qualified.
……
Liu Mang didn't expect that Anthony would follow Jason Terry to criticize the league.
Liu Mang was just joking with Jason Terry. Of course Jason Terry was crying to be an All-Star. If he really made it next season, Liu Mang would of course be happy for Jason Terry.
And don't worry too much about Jason Terry's big mouth. He is already famous for his big mouth, and many fans like him because he likes to shoot.
But on the morning of the 6th, the morning of the second back-to-back first game in a row, Liu Mang brought Dinah to the arena to prepare for the game after finishing the morning run. He took a newspaper at the door of the locker room and found out that Anthony was firing at the league!
Liu Mang felt that Anthony was a warrior!It was possible that Jason Terry would make David Stern hate him, although the odds were slim.
But now, Anthony has taken away all the hatred. He doesn't know how unpopular he is with the league's top management?
Liu Mang felt that Anthony was really a warrior!
Not only that, Anthony also offended the Sonics.
The Supersonics rank second in the West, and the Nuggets rank seventh in the West. The Kings and Rockets in front of them are all heading for 50 wins, and the Nuggets can't bite.
The Grizzlies behind just struggled to pull the Lakers out of the top eight in the Western Conference, and their record is far behind the Nuggets' Reid...
It seems that I accidentally pitted the little melon...
Liu Mang felt that Melon's smile was too evil, not as warm as the smiles of Duncan and Rasheed Wallace, and that's why he was so unlucky.
"Anthony's offense has absolutely nothing to do with my master!" Liu Mang firmly believed that it had nothing to do with him, so he changed into his training uniform and continued to prepare for the night's game.
……
……
"Mom, when are you going to arrive?...Nine o'clock tomorrow morning New York time? Well, I'll let Levia pick you up. I have a game tomorrow and I'm going to Seattle...I'll definitely be back. I'll go back to Atlanta after the game tomorrow night. I won't delay watching the Spring Festival Gala together...Well, I didn't make Aida tired..." Liu Mang listened to the ramblings, but he couldn't hang up the phone.
Before the tactical training in the afternoon started, Liu Mang received a call from his parents who rarely called him, saying that he was already waiting at the airport.
Compared with the time Liu Mang remembered, he was already waiting at the airport more than three hours earlier...
Liu Mang called and told about Alexia's pregnancy before, and the two elders are coming to the United States.
The visa was easy. Liu Mang asked Schwartz to obtain a certificate from the basketball management center. Liu Mang's name is very famous in China and the United States. His parents went to the United States to visit relatives and easily obtained the visa. Liu Mang's time is 05:30 this afternoon. The plane flew directly from Shanghai to Atlanta and arrived at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning.
But it was only less than two o'clock, and the two elders were already waiting...
Liu Mang has always wondered why the older generation is always worried that the plane will leave early?But it’s all gone, Liu Mang told them to be careful at the airport.
Sixth and seventh, the second back-to-back for the Eagles, playing the Grizzlies at home and the Sonics away, very difficult schedule, back-to-back home and away.
Liu Mang's luggage was brought to the arena. After the game in the evening, he had to go to the airport from the Phillips Center and take a four-hour flight to Seattle to prepare for the game.
This is the last back-to-back before New Year's Eve. In the past two days, Levia and Alexia and bodyguard Christine Wagner have begun to prepare for New Year's Eve.
It was said to be New Year's Eve, but it was actually the morning of the 8th in the United States. Liu Mang had already applied with the team. After playing the Sonics on the night of the 7th, he would return to Atlanta that night.
The team did not refuse. Liu Mang seldom asked for this kind of thing, and it was not easy once. He booked Liu Mang's flight from Seattle to Atlanta on the evening of the 7th, and the others came back the next day.
After playing this back-to-back, the 10th is the last game of the Eagles before the All-Star Weekend. There are two days off on the 8th and 9th, so the Eagles coaching staff is not worried about delaying the 10th game.
After making the phone call and confirming the time, Liu Mang began to devote himself to the tactical training for playing the Supersonic on the night of the 7th.
Although the Grizzlies are playing tonight, the Eagles' tactical training is to prepare for the next game against the Sonics.
In order to play the next Supersonics game, coach Kruger chose to take a multi-person rotation. Tracy McGrady, Prince, and Mourning all took rotations. The three of them had already taken an early flight to Seattle in the afternoon, so as not to stay up late at night with the team to catch the plane and go to rest early.
Not only for the team's revenge against the Supersonics, but also because of the Supersonics' record!
With 41 wins and 7 losses, the Eagles rank among the three teams with the best regular season records in the league along with the Suns and Pistons.
Then the second echelon, the Sonics are in it, with a record of 36 wins and 12 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference, and tied for fourth in the league with the Heat.
Playing in the top four in the East and West is definitely more important than playing in the bottom four of the playoffs. The only team in history to enter the playoffs in the second half of the playoffs and win the championship is Olajuwon's Rockets.
The rotation rest is definitely going to be a rotation. It is unwise to delay the team's rotation strategy for one more victory. The Eagles coaching staff will not let the main players fight back to back in order to win these two victories.
So the Eagles coaching staff made a trade-off, and the game with the Supersonics is more important.
Of course, even if it is a rotation, playing against a team that is not the top four in the East and West, the Eagles still have confidence!The main reason is that Liu Mang only scored 19 points in the last game, and now he is very irritable!
……
Gasol now feels that his life is full of hope, and he has been really lucky in recent days!
Gasol finally ended his 12-game losing streak against the Lakers!One day ago, on the 5th, in the game against the Lakers, he scored 35 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 blocks and 4 steals. He was just one steal short of completing the 5 times 5 data.
The permanent retirement of the old coach Hubie Brown has had a great impact on the Grizzlies this season. As the tactical system left by the old coach began to be forgotten by the players, the Grizzlies' record has also come down.
But playing against the Eagles, Gasol was very desperate before he came, thinking that he would be beaten by the Eagles again to have the same record as the Lakers.
However, when he heard that many people in the Eagles were resting, Gasol's chest puffed up, and his body was shocked: Is it possible that the spring of Paul Gasol has come?
