"Tell me! Uncle, what do you want to do! Do you want to trick Dinah into buying you something again? Dinah's pocket money is going to be used up! No money!" The little Loli hid far away. She was attacked by the evil uncle last time.

He was tricked into buying a laptop by an ice cream cone, and now the little lolita is quite afraid of Liu Mang.

"..." On his way home from training, Liu Mang saw that Dinah's favorite dessert shop had new products, and bought a box specially. Who knew that he was considered to be a conspiracy to defraud her of money!

Liu Mang is so angry. Are you that kind of person?

Liu Mang angrily put the snack on the table and angrily took the ball to the backyard to continue practicing shooting.

When the little Loli saw Liu Mang leaving, she carefully opened the snack box and took a bite. It was not poisonous and was delicious, and then she ate it all...

During the three days from the 27th to the 29th, the Eagles players had a day off on the 27th, and the coaching staff met to continue studying the style of play for the next game.

The six remaining opponents before the All-Star Weekend will be on the 28th, playing the Rockets away; playing the Clippers, Bulls, and Timberwolves at home; and finally playing the Grizzlies and SuperSonics back-to-back.

On the 29th, I was in Atlanta to train for the game against the Rockets. This game against the Rockets has four days of rest, so there is no need to take a rest. It can also be regarded as a preview for the first game after the All-Star Weekend - against the Heat.

Because Liu Mang was going to have his own child in more than nine months, he wanted to have more little lolita, but he didn't expect to be rejected!

Alexia now avoids Liu Mang when she sees Liu Mang's attentiveness, for fear that Liu Mang will become animalistic and do something.

Liu Mang just wants to pay more attention to his girlfriend who is pregnant with the child!

Only then did Liu Mang realize what it meant to go too far, so he simply stayed as usual, and spent the night with Levia for the past few days...

On the morning of January 30, Liu Mang and Dinah came back from a morning run together, took a shower, and then set off for the airport to go to Houston to play Yao Ming!

…

…

"Ace, you are doing great this year! So amazing!" Yao Ming exclaimed.

Liu Mang is currently averaging 36.5 points per game, which is very stable, and since he is competing with Kobe Bryant for the 40th time ranking, Yao Ming feels that Liu Mang's average points per game may still increase.

Kobe was really an iron man. The team doctor said he had to rest for a few games, but he managed to play. Just like Liu Mang’s memory, Kobe will continue to play until there are two months left in the season.

Si couldn't bear it anymore and had a heart-to-heart talk with him before choosing to rest.

Moreover, due to Liu Mang's relationship in this time and space, Kobe Bryant's summer progress was a little faster than before. At this time of the Lakers, coach Tomjanovich has been absent on and off for a month, and he has not completely collapsed. Compared with Kobe Bryant and Liu Mang,

It is expected that even faster progress will be achieved.

However, Liu Mang feels that the threat to Kobe this season is no longer great. When Kobe was super talented, he could score more than 50 points. However, due to his physical breakdown, he often had dozens of iron games. Kobe had two games this season.

"Classic Battle". When they played against the Bobcats for the second time, they threw 46 times and only hit 22 times to score 55 points. The Lakers were beaten by the Bobcats by a 15-point difference. The Bobcats were 133 to 118 in this season's double play.

Lakers.

Unfortunately, Boss Joe didn't even watch the home game since he was beaten by the Eagles last time...

When Kobe shot more and made fewer shots, it was miserable. In one game against the Pistons, he only made 7 of 28 shots and scored 17 points. The Lakers were beaten.

But with Kobe Bryant, who can always score high scores, Yao Ming feels that Liu Mang will feel the pressure, and there will definitely be more 40s.

Yao Ming is really envious. So far, he has only reached 40 twice.

"Dayao, you are also very good, the best center in the Western Conference, haha..." Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Haha, that's because O'Neal went to the Eastern Conference, otherwise he would be the best." Yao Ming did not refuse the title of the No. 1 center in the Western Conference.

"He is older than you. As long as you protect your knees and feet like him, you will definitely be the number one center in the NBA one day!"

"I will, I believe you will become the first player in the NBA one day."

Liu Mang and Yao Ming looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Business flattery always makes people feel good...

The Hawks arrived in Houston in the afternoon. After Liu Mang took a nap, he received a call from Yao Ming and asked him to have dinner at his house.

He only made an appointment with Liu Mang. Yao Ming's main fear was that he would treat him to dinner at home. The Chinese food cooked by Ye Li, who retired from the WCBA and later accompanied Yao Ming in the United States, would not be used by the others.

Liu Mang hadn't eaten Chinese food for a long time, so he didn't have any dietary restrictions today. He had a big meal and probably trained two more sets of fat-reducing exercises.

…

Liu Mang and Yao Ming were having dinner together happily, but it was just dawn in China, the day before the game between the Hawks and the Rockets, and the heat of the game had begun to heat up.

Chaoting Sports Channel will broadcast live on February 1st, BJ time, which is the morning of Little New Year's Eve. The day before the game, domestic fans are looking forward to this "Chinese Derby" approaching the New Year.

The Hawks are now 38-7 and ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Although the Rockets' record is not that good, their record of 30 wins and 16 losses is still among the best in the league. They are firmly ranked fifth in the Western Conference, beating the Kings, the top team in the Western Conference in the past few years.

The Rockets are stronger

Not only at home, but here in the United States, the game between the Eagles and Rockets also attracts much attention.

The Hawks and Rockets are the representative teams of the old and new styles of play in the current NBA. The Hawks are naturally the representative team of the now strong "run and gun" tactics, while the Rockets are the representative team of the traditional positional battle team.

Representative team.

The Rockets have a characteristic. The closer they get to the middle of the season, the better they play! A very strange characteristic. At the end of December, the Rockets were once overtaken by the Nuggets and Kings, but after a while, the Rockets returned to

Fifth in the West.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most important thing is that the Rockets seem to be very capable of restraining run-and-gun teams. The Rockets played against the Suns four times this season, and they lost the first game miserably, 87-87.

107 lost by 20 points, but when the two teams played against each other in the second game, the Rockets responded with a 20-point massacre 131 to 111.

They rely on using the rebounding advantages of Yao Ming and Richard Jefferson to grab offensive rebounds and reduce the Suns' chances of direct fast breaks. Yao Ming grabbed 22 rebounds in that game, 11 of which were offensive.

Rebounds, setting a new career offensive rebound record.

In the third meeting, the Rockets went one step further and restricted the Suns' positional battle. Richard Jefferson defended Nash and only scored 6 points and 10 assists. The Suns were defeated by the Rockets again 89-95.

Not long ago, the Suns lost Game 7 against the Rockets again. This time both teams played very well. In the end, the Rockets' new aid Mike James scored 11 points in a row in the final quarter, 99 to 98.

Defeated the Suns by 1 point.

The Rockets have also become the only team in the league with a record advantage over the Suns!

The Rockets can't get up fast even if they want to, mainly because of Yao Ming. Yao Ming's presence makes it impossible for the game to be fast. So no matter how the Suns speed up, the Rockets look like the Spurs, always playing steadily.

The Rockets' winning rate in the games Yao Ming has played this season is as high as 70%. He has played a total of 40 games so far and won 28. Of the 6 games he did not play, the Rockets only won two.

When a team like the Rockets, which seems to be naturally capable of restraining run-and-gun teams, meets the famous "run-and-gun" team of the Eagles, both Chinese and American fans are very interested in this game.

…

…

By January 31st, which is February 1st in China, at 7:50 in the evening, the Hawks' away game against the Rockets was about to begin, and players from both teams were already on the court.

Playing away games in Houston is a wonderful thing for the Eagles, because there are not many boos. The locals in Houston are too calm in character. They are all highly intellectual and "disdain" to cheer or boo.

Moreover, this game attracted many tourists from China, as well as fans from Chinatowns in various Texas cities to watch the game, as well as many Asian fans. When Liu Mang's Eagles team came on the field, they received cheers.

After Liu Mang entered the court, he took a look at the strength of the opponent's players.

Yao Ming, ability evaluation 90, offense 92, defense 89, three-pointer 61, mid-range shot 88, layup 98, speed 72, strength 98.

Such coquettish strength, the mid-range shot and the basket are very strong!

Richard Jefferson, ability evaluation 87, 86 offense, 88 defense, 85 three-pointers, 77 mid-range shots, and 92 layups.

The core duo of the Rockets is still very strong and is the key to the Rockets ranking fifth in the Western Conference, but the others are average.

Rockets guard Bob Sura, whose ability evaluation is 74, and power forward Juwan Howard, whose ability evaluation is 76, are the best players besides Richard Jefferson and Yao Ming. They were actually traded from the Hornets at the end of December.

34-year-old veteran David Wesley!

David Willis' ability evaluation is 79, offense 79, defense 80, three-pointer 84, mid-range shot 79, layup 85, strength 77, speed 92.

However, the Rockets' bench lineup is really full of players. Mike James was acquired from the Bucks, Jon Barry was acquired from the Nuggets, and Muttom was acquired from the players waived by the Knicks.

Bo... is either a bum, or an extremely old player.

Liu Mang felt that Yao Ming was really pitiful. Then when more than 2,000 fans who could speak Chinese or simple Chinese were shouting to "snipe", he went up and threw a Los Angeles style sniper in a coquettish way, and there was a beautiful "bang"

And pleasant to the ears.

Yao Ming was so angry that he couldn't see so many Chinese fans in normal times! The usual home court was completely lifeless and the players had no interest in playing games at home.

Van Gundy Jr. was also very depressed. Usually there was no movement from the fans. He also gave away free tickets to college students and asked them to pretend to be fans of the away team to boo his team, so that his team would feel like they were playing away from home.

Of the 30 games the Rockets won, 21 were on the road and only 9 were won at home. Van Gundy really couldn't understand it.

The day before the game, Liu Mang and Yao Ming had a very friendly relationship when they got together, but it was different the next day.

Such a game is again related to the "face" issue between the two people. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the ratings of the game between the Eagles and the Rockets are very high in the country, breaking 1 for a long time. This China Derby, the ratings

The rate will be higher.

Who doesn’t want to win in the game that fans in their country are most concerned about? Liu Mang and Yao Ming both want it. Their parents called before the game and said they were up and waiting to watch the game, so both of them will work harder.

!

The game is about to start. The Eagles are practicing on their own. Those who should do their pre-game moves are doing their pre-game moves. When Prince was dancing, there were fans with Asian faces dancing with him.

Except when he was playing against the Knicks, he was booed every time he danced in an away game. Unexpectedly, when he danced in an away game in the Western Conference, the opposing fans actually cheered him! This made Prince even more excited!

As for the Rockets, when they play at home, Van Gundy habitually calls the players together.
