202. The pot falls from the sky(1/2)
ESPN sports headline: "Here we come!"
The Eagles' victory over the 76ers didn't make the headlines, it was ranked below the headlines.
Liu Mang surpassed O'Neal to become the youngest 40-year-old player in NBA history and did not make headlines.
Jason Terry's two killer three-pointers at the critical moment took away the game and didn't make any headlines.
But neither of them was dissatisfied at all!
Because on the headlines, the photo of the three little Eagles takes up most of the main page!
we are coming!
ESPN helps Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Raheem declare to the league that we are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference! We are here!
Unlike at the beginning of the season, people thought that this team was first in the Eastern Conference. This time the Hawks actually improved from fourth in the Eastern Conference to half the regular season games.
No. 1 in the East!
30 wins and 12 losses, second only to the Kings’ 34 wins and 8 losses and the Spurs’ 32 wins and 10 losses, which are first and second in the Western Conference!
Originally, the Kings had the best start in team history with 29 wins and 5 losses. Then, in mid-January, they suddenly entered the terrifying California three-game trip and suffered three consecutive losses. However, they regained their footing and won five consecutive games.
Continue to dominate the alliance.
The Spurs were similar to the Hawks. At their worst, they fell to seventh place in the Western Conference. Thanks to their tenacious team style, by January, other teams were complaining about injuries and the decline in players' physical fitness.
After reaching the second place in the Western Conference, they pushed the Mavericks to the fourth place in the Western Conference, and by the way, the Lakers moved to the fifth place in the Western Conference.
Although the Eastern Conference's best record seems to be a failure among the top five in the Western Conference, even if it reaches the Finals, it will be a waste of time. Since Jordan retired, there has been no team in the Eastern Conference that can compete with the powerful Western Conference. In the past three years, the total
In the finals, the West beat the East.
However, the three young Eagles are gradually considered to have a bright future!
A rookie, a short shooting guard who was considered a genius from the beginning, and three players who were thought to disappear from the league one day, actually led the team to first place in the Eastern Conference!
Liu Mang continued to be hot, scoring 42 points in a single game, setting a new record for a player who scored 40 points in a single game at the age of 20 in 1992, when O'Neal was a rookie in 1992!
The new record is 19 years and 6 months! Liu Mang became the youngest 40-year-old player in history!
Liu Mang's occasional explosive output, Raheem's stability, scoring more than 20 points per game, Jason Terry's key ball attributes are beginning to show, and the core combination of the three is highly anticipated!
…
The Hawks are also popular this time, but they don't have much time to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention in these hottest days. After playing the 76ers on the 26th, they will fly from Philadelphia to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away from home.
.
This game can finally be relaxed. After trading away Artest, the Bulls' last position in the league is as stable as a mountain. Even the Warriors in the Western Conference cannot shake their last position in the league.
The reporter's interview after yesterday's game against the 76ers was simply terrible. The Eagles were forced to conduct a locker room interview for the first time this season and for the first time in many years. This added to the post-game time by nearly two hours, almost to 1 o'clock.
The Eagles can't leave Wallavia Center.
For the press officers and team executives, this is of course a dream come true. This is a treatment only available to popular teams. They finally felt it. It was not that interviews in the locker room were not open before, but even if they were open, they would not be allowed to do so.
When reporters came, there were only a few Atlanta reporters, and they didn’t have that many questions to ask.
But for the players and the coaching staff, it is not something to be happy about. The players are okay, who doesn’t want to make headlines, but too many interviews are tiring, and the coaching staff doesn’t like this scene even more. If possible, they would all
Stay away from strangers like the Spurs and Jazz...
Chicago is a good place, the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles. Although the third is ignored because the first and second are too powerful, in terms of urban architecture and wealth, Chicago is worthy of the first and second.
.
The emergence of Jordan finally brought Chicago into the world, but after Jordan retired, Chicago fell into silence again. Both basketball and the tourism industry here plummeted, so they were determined to snatch Yao Ming and open up the world's largest tourism market.
and the entrance to the fan market.
The Eagles arrived at the Trump International Hotel in Chicago's Four Seasons Plaza. Yes, it's a hotel owned by the Trump family. They played consecutive away games. They didn't fall asleep until three or four o'clock last night, and were forced to get up and pack their things at 10 o'clock in the morning.
After taking a plane and arriving in Chicago, even if they were as cool as Emmanuel, they didn't have the energy to pick up girls. The whole team got their room cards and went back to their rooms to sleep.
However, there is an exception. A certain rookie with dark circles under his eyes is practicing martial arts boxing excitedly...
The first time you cut 40, you will be rewarded with 2000 superstar points. If you get 40, you will be rewarded with 500 superstar points.
Refreshed the record of being the youngest person to be 40, and got 1,000 superstar points and 5,000 rogue points.
There are also nearly 400 superstar points for winning games and statistics.
He once again made headlines with the team and earned 5,000 hooligan points, and was even more favored in his career, earning 1,000 superstar points.
Task: Achieve the target of Iverson, the task rewards level 1 of short-range step throwing skills.
Iverson's career trajectory may change, and the reward is Iverson's Peak Star Card.
Liu Mang made a lot of money in one game!
Sure enough, military style boxing and the like can best express a person's inner excitement! Those kind of wide open and close movements, I thought it was ugly during the military training in my freshman year. Now that I practice it by myself, I feel quite handsome. The main reason is that those movements are too
Can unleash the power that is suppressed in the heart and dare not shout out.
Point rogue points, 4900 superstar points.
This is not the point. The point is that I have another way to score inside!
Liu Mang had the inside footwork before, but his finishing ability was mediocre. When encountering confrontations, he only had the option of drawing fouls. His shooting percentage was a bit bleak compared to other powerful point guards when he was able to deflect opponents away.
There is a player who is quite similar to Liu Mang at this stage, that is Tony Parker of the Spurs. He is also unable to fight, but most of the time his shooting percentage in the paint is higher than that of inside players!
This is because Tony Parker mostly throws after he breaks in, and because of Duncan and Ginobili, Bowen can open up the space. He is not like Iverson when he enters the inside and is double-teamed by several people, so the success rate of finishing is extremely high!
Close throws and layups are two concepts. A layup refers to jumping to the position under the basket, raising the basketball close to the basket and then putting the ball in with one hand or hitting the board. That is, the ball, hand
, people are integrated and need to enter the three-second zone or even the reasonable collision zone. The NBA's three-second zone has become extremely huge because of George McCann and O'Neal. It is not only unfriendly to the offense of inside players, but also not so friendly to the outside.
Throwing is different. Most of the time when throwing, the ball and hand are separated. When the opponent's attention is on your body rushing in, the ball has already been released. It is difficult for the defensive player to judge the timing of the opponent's shot!
As for Iverson's step-over throw, some fans jokingly called it a shot with the same hand and the same foot, because when Iverson stepped out with his right foot, his right hand suddenly threw the ball out. It was impossible to guard against, but Iverson contained it.
His defensive ability is too strong, he is almost always double-teamed inside, and there are not many opportunities to step forward. This move is difficult to see in regular time. Basically, you can only see the occasional flash of magical skills from the highlights.
There is also Iverson's star card. Liu Mang doesn't know what he can experience from a superstar's star card. He hopes to experience Iverson's breakthrough skills!
My own breakthrough is still too monotonous, relying on speed to break through. When encountering Iverson, Kobe Bryant's speed is not bad enough, so I can only rely on pick-and-roll.
Who doesn't want to be awesome?
With 4900 superstar points, Liu Mang decided to draw a lottery.
"Boss of the system! 49 superstar draws!"
"The host uses 49 primary superstar value draws, consuming 4900 superstar points."
"Ding...congratulations to the host for obtaining 61 skill upgrade cards, 2 charisma cards, 14 physical potions, 4 primary injury potions, and 6 primary stealing cards."
Another charisma card was drawn!
Not bad, not bad, it's an unexpected surprise. As his strength becomes stronger, there are fewer and fewer surprises for this superstar.
Liu Mang used the charisma card first.
"Ding... Leadership Temperament 5, the host has begun to show his leadership style on the field."
Leader on the field?
Liu Mang didn't quite understand how this thing was judged, but it was good anyway.
Upgrade your skills!
Liu Mang spent 55 skill upgrade cards to upgrade his newly acquired step-throwing skill to level 4, leaving 21 skill upgrade cards left.
Most of the skills are at level 4, and even the bad pull-up king and fancy dunk are at level 3. This is basically the end. Upgrading from level 4 to level 5 requires 240 skill upgrade cards. There is no way to upgrade them for a while.
Superstar value Liu Mang decided to start saving 10,000 points for the mid-level lottery! And it is not limited to drawing skills. Now his ability value is just like that. If he has too many skills, he may bite off more than he can chew. Now this has begun to happen.
If you are inclined, you can try to see if there are any other new things. The elementary lottery is basically the same. You can only try the intermediate lottery.
Step-Throwing Skill Level 4: After reaching the paint, the first step of three big steps suddenly becomes a throw. When the stepping foot is consistent with the shooting hand, the chance of being immune to shooting interference is 20%.
This technique is really good!
Originally, shooting with the same hand and foot would give the opponent a headache, and the chance of being interfered with is low. As long as you are not double-teamed and faced with the opponent's interior defender one-on-one, if you use this move, your hit rate will be very high!
Nash and Parker seem to be able to do this, and because the rest of the team is a big offensive threat, they often challenge each other one-on-one inside. Especially Parker, the top scoring point guard, shot from both sides of the three-second zone during his peak period.
The hit rate is as high as 66%!
In addition to speed, explosive power, and jumping, Parker is incomparable to Iverson and is more similar to Liu Mang, so Liu Mang is more confident that his scoring in the penalty area will become stronger in the future!
After the excitement, the sleepiness became more intense. He originally planned to find a place to train immediately and start to develop his throwing ability, but he fell asleep after the excitement...
