The game between the Hawks and the Bulls was a big surprise, and the Bulls' retaliation against Liu Mang was too deliberate.

But the fans and the media are always looking at the players' behavior from the perspective of God, feeling that they are going to play how and how to play is the right thing.

But if the players can really play exactly right, there will still be Larry Brown and Milicic, and Jordan will be Kwame Brown, and there will be Eddie Curry's wasted talent...... And so on?

Players are also human beings, and they also have their own emotions, likes and dislikes.

That's one of the most interesting things about the NBA, and there are always surprises.

easily won 7 consecutive victories, but Liu Mang was not good.

The average points per game dropped from 36.7 to 36.4, which requires at least 55 points per game to make up for it!

Although he got the task of thanking the Bulls for the second time in a row to win the opponent's 2000 superstar value, the malice towards the Bulls has become deeper, and he will continue to abuse him next time!

It's a big deal that you can't score, it's abuse!

Liu Mang is so unwilling, the Bulls are taking revenge on him! Revenge for his last massacre!

"This hatred, the master has written it down!"

……

The day after the Bulls, on February 5, at 3 p.m., the All-Star bench lineup was announced.

Stu Jackson announced the Eastern Conference All-Star bench starting with the visiting team's Eastern Conference All-Star bench.

Seven players, including Vince Carter of the Nets, Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace of the Pistons, Dwyane Wade and Shaq O'Neal of the Heat, LeBron James of the Cavaliers, and Rasheed Wallace of the Hawks, were selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star bench.

With the addition of Liu Mang, Maddy, and Kwame Brown, the Hawks have a total of 4 players selected for the All-Star Game.

After the Eastern All-Star bench was announced, the Western All-Star bench was not immediately announced, but it was announced that Chauncey Billups would miss the All-Star game due to injury, and Chris Bosh, who is also from the Pistons, was selected to the All-Star bench lineup.

Vince Carter also missed the All-Star break due to injury, and his old club, Raptors' Darko Milicic, was named to the All-Star bench.

In the West, Steve Francis and Ray Allen of the SuperSonics, Amare Stoudemire and Sean Marion of the Suns, Richard Jefferson of the Rockets, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, and Manu Ginobili of the Spurs were selected for the Western Conference All-Star bench.

Ray Allen, who has missed several games due to a knee injury and will not play until the rest of the All-Star Weekend, accepted the team's suggestion to withdraw from the All-Star Weekend and be replaced by teammate Rashard Lewis to be named to the All-Star bench.

After the afternoon of tactical practice, the Hawks players watched the announcement of the All-Star bench in the break room.

In the morning, the Hawks were notified that Rasheed Wallace had been named to the All-Star bench.

Billups, Carter and Ray Allen notified the league in the morning that they were going to withdraw from the All-Star Game because of injuries, so when the bench list was announced in the afternoon, David Stern had already decided on three alternate positions.

Both the Suns and the SuperSonics have three players selected as All-Stars, which makes Liu Mang sigh that it is so easy to get recognition in awards for counterattacking the team, and his rookie season was like this that year, even if he was not selected as an All-Star normally at that time, but was hand-picked by David Stern, in addition to him, the Hawks' Ratlleaf, Raheem, and Jason Terry were also selected as All-Stars.

Rasheed Wallace came to the Hawks for two years and was named to the All-Star Game in both years, while with the Trail Blazers, he was selected as an All-Star twice in eight years.

Rasheed Wallace smiled his trademark magic smile with joy when he received the trophy, causing his teammates to run away.

The efficiency of the league is still very fast, and it was ready in advance, and not long after the official live broadcast announced the All-Star bench lineup in the afternoon, league officials sent the trophies of the Hawks' four All-Star players to the Phillips Center.

After Liu Mang and the league officials took a photo together, they held this round trophy and couldn't help but play 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 the old man has a long string of words under the All-Star MVP trophy, and the base is much bigger.

Of course, compared to Jordan's one, the base of the regular All-Star MVP trophy is also pitifully small.

The Hawks, for their part, were also prepared in advance to hold a press conference to announce the presence of four All-Star players.

The press conference went smoothly on the whole, with no surprises, and Kwame Brown was asked a few questions, but he was more obedient than Liu Mang and answered exactly according to the answers given by the press officer, which made the media find it boring.

Liu Mang, Maddie, and Rasheed Wallace are not the first All-Star starters, although they attach great importance to the selection, but after being selected, they will be put aside.

The rest of the Hawks also congratulated and congratulated, and the other people were not going to be selected as All-Stars.

Originally, Jason Terry saw that the alternates were not him, and he also saw that O'Neal Jr., Pierce, Arenas and others were all defeated, what else could he not see? Knowing that he was selected for an All-Star Weekend is still based on his good record as a starter at that time, and the Sixth Man's stats and the team's record as the Sixth Man are always unpopular in the All-Star bench selection.

It's been a long-standing situation, and even Bill Wharton didn't make the All-Star when he played sixth man, what else can Jason Terry say.

But!

Liu Mang pulled Jason Terry aside before the press conference: "Jason, it's 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, but you have little chance of playing the sixth man, so you have to make trouble!" ”

"Trouble?" Jason Terry solves.

"Do you have any 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 canvass for me? Oh, they're not good kids, so it's good if they don't discredit me. Jason Terry was puzzled.

"No, you helped take care of your younger siblings when you were a child, and when you fed them, did you feed them because they were crying and hungry?" Liu Mang asked.

"Of course, they can't speak, and I must have cried before I knew they were hungry." Jason Terry still didn't get it.

"That's right, as the saying goes, crying kids have milk, and if you don't remind those coaches how good you are at playing sixth man, how can they think of selecting you as an All-Star?" Liu Mang was joking with Jason Terry, but as he spoke, he believed it......

And Jason Terry believed it!

Crying children have milk to eat! Jason Terry believes in Liu Mang's evil ......

In an interview, Jason Terry fired: "I'm not targeting a certain player who has been selected as an All-Star, they are all eligible to be selected as an All-Star, but I don't understand why I was not selected, we are the team with the best record in the league, I have the second average points per game on the team, I am ranked 33rd in the league, and some young players who have been selected as All-Stars, they are better stats than me?" Or is the team having a better record than me? I think it's so unfair......"

The media didn't expect that the target of the news would be Jason Terry!

……

……

Jason Terry's words made fans find an "argument", and there were complaints after the All-Star bench came out.

The alliance's behavior of wanting to praise the 03 generation is too spicy!

Bosh is okay, although the Pistons scoring champion is Hamilton, Hamilton averages 20+ per game, and is more qualified to replace Billups to be selected as an All-Star bench, but Bosh is also qualified, averaging 18.7 points and 9 rebounds per game is also one of the best in the Eastern Power Forward, Jermaine O'Neal has been banned for so many games this season, and there is no problem for Bosh to be selected as an All-Star bench.

But on Milicic's side, 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.2 blocks are good, and there are really few powerful interior lines in the East, but the record is too poor, and a second-year center of a bad team was selected as an All-Star substitute, how unreasonable to look at.

Of course, there was no coach to vote for him, and it was David Stern who handpicked him when Carter withdrew, which exposed the fact that the league was strong in the 03 generation.

Now there's Jason Terry yelling that it's unfair, fans have found an argument, and there's another place to attack David Stern.

But David Stern doesn't care about the scolding, these top five players in the 03 generation have the potential to become first-line stars in the league, and they have begun to show their strength.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser, and one day when these young players become the players who dominate the league, who will remember the early strong support? All I remember is how good they were when they were selected as All-Stars in the second grade.

And there is a reason why David Stern praises the 03 generation, the trend of continued weakness in the East is still spreading, and four of the top five picks in the 03 generation are in the East, which may be the pillar of the future of the Eastern team.

David Stern, although he has been criticized in many places, has done his best for the league.

……

The league's strong praise of the 03 generation has caused heated discussions, but there is another person in the top five picks of the 03 generation who has sparked a discussion among fans.

The top five picks of the 03 generation, the champion, the leader, the fourth and fifth shows were all selected into the All-Star bench lineup, only Anthony was missing!

And this All-Star Weekend was held at Anthony's home stadium, Pepsi Center in Denver, and the other four were the top five picks in the 03 generation

Anthony was already unhappy without receiving a notice from the league in the morning, but by the time the original list of Eastern All-Star substitutes came out in the afternoon, only James and Wade were selected as All-Star substitutes in the same class, and Anthony was balanced in his heart.

James's data is so good that his record is not particularly bad, and he is acceptable, Wade's side has the third record in the East and the second in the East, and Anthony can't compare.

Both Anthony can accept it.

But when the two lists of alternate candidates for the Eastern Conference All-Star bench were announced, Anthony was unbalanced.

Why did the top five of the 03 generation and the other four people all be selected, but he didn't?

When the Western Conference All-Star bench was announced, it was announced that Ray Allen would retire, and Anthony's eyes lit up again, could it be that he was going to be selected?

Then the name of Rashad Lewis was heard, and Anthony felt that Anthony had company at first, and Milicic and Bosh were not All-Star players.

Who knows that there is no one to accompany him!

Everyone else has been selected as an All-Star, but he is not the only one who has been selected!

In the evening, Anthony saw the news about the Hawks before the game against the Hornets, and Jason Terry was dissatisfied with not making the All-Star list and fired at the league, and Anthony felt like he had found a sense of identity.

Carmelo Anthony, who scored a career-high 46 points in the evening's game, told the media after the game that he was more qualified to complain about problems with the league's selection of All-Star benches.

……

Liu Mang didn't expect that Anthony would follow Jason Terry to spray the league together.

Liu Mang was just joking with Jason Terry, of course, Jason Terry was crying and screaming that he was going to be an All-Star if he did make it next season, of course Liu Mang would be happy for Jason Terry.

And don't worry too much about Jason Terry's big mouth that will cause disgust, he is known for his big mouth, and there are many fans who like him because he loves to shoot.

But on the morning of the 6th, the morning of the second back-to-back first game in a row, Liu Mang took Dina Chen to the stadium early to prepare for the game, and took a newspaper at the door of the locker room, only to know that Anthony had fired at the league!

Liu Mang feels that Anthony is a warrior! It could have been that Jason Terry would have made David Stern hate, although the odds were unlikely.

But now, with all the hatred out of Anthony, he doesn't know how unpopular he is at the top of the league?

Liu Mang feels that Anthony is really a warrior!

Not only that, but Anthony also offended the supersonics.

The SuperSonics are ranked second in the West, the Nuggets are ranked seventh in the West, and the Kings and Rockets in front are all running for 50 wins, and the Nuggets can't bite.

The Grizzlies in the back have just pulled the Lakers out of the top eight in the West with difficulty, and their record is far from that of the Nuggets Reed......

It seems that I accidentally pit a small melon......

Liu Mang felt that probably the little melon's smile was too evil, not as heartwarming as Duncan and Rashid Wallace's smiles, so he was so unlucky.

"Anthony offends people and has absolutely nothing to do with the master!" Liu Mang firmly believed that it had nothing to do with him, changed into training clothes, and continued to prepare for the evening game.

……

……

"Mom, when are you arriving? …… Nine a.m. tomorrow New York time? Okay, I'll have Levia pick you up, I've got a game tomorrow and I'm going to Seattle...... I will definitely come back, I will return to Atlanta after the game tomorrow night, and I will not delay watching the Spring Festival Gala together...... Okay, well, I didn't let Aida get tired...... "Liu Mang listened to the chatter, and he couldn't hang up the phone, he was kind and stuffed, and he didn't need money for long-distance calls!"

Before the start of the tactical training in the afternoon, Liu Mang received a call from his parents, who rarely called him, saying that they had arrived at the airport and were waiting.

More than three hours earlier than Liu Mang remembered, he had already arrived at the airport and waited......

Liu Mang called before to tell him about Alexia's pregnancy, and the two elders were coming to the United States.

The visa is easy, Liu Mang asked Schwartz to find the basketball center to open a certificate, Liu Mang's name is very famous in China and the United States, his parents want to go to the United States to visit relatives It is easy to get a visa, Liu Mang's time is a direct flight from Shanghai to Atlanta at half past five in the afternoon today, and will arrive at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

But it was only 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 they all went, and Liu Mang asked them to be careful at the airport.

Nos. 6 and No. 7, the Hawks' second back-to-back, home game against the Grizzlies, away game against the SuperSonics, very difficult schedule, home and away back-to-back.

Liu Mang's luggage was brought to the arena, and after the game in the evening, he had to travel from the Phillips Center to the airport, and take a four-hour flight to Seattle to prepare for the game.

This is the last back-to-back before Chinese New Year's Eve, and these two days Levia and Alexia and bodyguard Christine Wagner have begun to prepare for Chinese New Year's Eve.

It is said that it is Chinese New Year's Eve, but in fact, on the morning of the 8th of US time, Liu Mang has applied with the team, and after playing supersonic on the night of the 7th, he will return to Atlanta that night.

The team did not refuse, Liu Mang rarely asked for this kind of thing, and it was not easy once, so he booked a ticket for Liu Mang to fly back to Atlanta from Seattle on the night of the 7th, and the others only came back the next day.

After this back-to-back game, No. 10 was the last game before the Hawks' All-Star Weekend, with two days off on No. 8 and No. 9, so the Hawks coaching staff was not worried about delaying the No. 10 game.

After making the phone call and determining the time, Liu Mang began to devote himself to tactical training for the night of the 7th to play supersonic.

Although tonight is a game against the Grizzlies, the Hawks' tactical training is to prepare for the next supersonic game.

In order to play the next supersonic game, Coach Kruger chose to take multiple rotations, Maddy, Prince, and Mourning all took turns to rest, and the three of them had already taken a flight to Seattle in the afternoon, so as not to stay up late with the team to catch the plane at night and go to rest early.

Not only for the team's revenge for the superSonics, but also mainly because of the superSonics' record!

Ra is 41-7 and ranks among the three teams with the best regular season records in the league along with the Suns and Pistons.

Then the second echelon, the SuperSonics are in it, with a 36-12 record that ranks second in the West and tied with the Heat for fourth place in the league.

Playing in the top four games in the East and West is definitely more important than playing in the bottom four of the playoffs, and the only player 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 rotated, and it is not wise to delay the team's rotation strategy for one more victory, and the Hawks coaching staff will not let the main players fight back-to-back in order to win these two victories, this is the middle of the season, their own schedule is difficult, and the physical fitness needs to be well distributed.

So the Hawks coaching staff made a trade-off, and the game against the SuperSonics was more important.

Of course, even if it is a rotation rest and plays 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 feels like life is full of hope right now, and he has been so lucky in the last few days!

Gasol finally ended his 12-game losing streak against the Lakers! On the 5th a day ago, he scored 35 points, 15 boards, 10 assists, 5 blocks and 4 steals in the game against the Lakers, and he was short of a steal to complete the data of 5 times 5, although unfortunately it was not possible, but the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers 97-80, squeezing the Lakers out of the top eight in the West, and they climbed to the eighth place in the West!

The permanent retirement of veteran coach Hubby Brown has had too much impact on the Grizzlies this season, and as the tactical system left by the old coach began to be forgotten by the players, the Grizzlies' record also fell, once falling out of the top eight in the West, and now finally surpassing the Lakers' 24-24 with a 25-23 record and returning to the top eight in the West.

However, playing the Hawks, Gasol was desperate before he came, thinking that he was going to be beaten by the Hawks again with the same record as the Lakers.

However, when he heard that the Eagles had many people resting, Gasol's chest stood up, and his tiger body was shocked: Could it be that my Paul Gasol's spring has come?
