Chapter 1325 1324. The Worst Is 58 Cannons (3/5)

Chapter 1325 1324. Worst is 58 shots (35)

In the West, the Mavericks are the first in the West.

They lost only two games, and their record of 15 wins and 2 losses ranks first in the league.

This year, there is a sense of déjà vu of a double-Mavericks meeting, with the two Mavericks in the East and West occupying the first place.

Although Gasol of the Lakers is still recovering from injury and the latest expectation is that he will be able to return before the Christmas game, they are still ranked second in the West with 12 wins and 4 losses.

The Spurs are ranked third in the West with 11 wins and 5 losses. The situation is not as good as expected. 30 days have passed, and Artest has no tendency to integrate. But this is terrifying. The Spurs are still ranked third in the West!

Fourth in the West, after the Sonics took advantage for two years, they were surpassed by the Nuggets led by the double guns. The Nuggets have 10 wins and 6 losses and have become the leader of the Atlantic Division, ranking fourth.

The Utah Jazz are ranked fifth with 9 wins and 7 losses. The Sonics lost to the Jazz with 9 wins and 7 losses, ranking sixth.

What is surprising is that the Rockets, a team of rookies, started the season with an 8-8 record, ranking eighth in the West.

What is even more surprising is that... the Suns also have 8 wins and 8 losses, ranking seventh in the West!

From seventh to tenth in the West, they are all 8 wins and 8 losses. The Warriors are ninth and the Clippers are tenth.

The strong teams aiming to win the championship all have a feeling of crying with joy. Finally, after a summer when all teams except the Rockets and the Suns resisted trading with the Hawks, the Hawks did not change the lineup and quickly run in like the previous three years. Like other strong teams with clear superstar cores after reconstruction, they need a running-in period and started to lose in the early season!

The Hawks are not as dominant as they were in the past few years!

…

…

The expression Liu Mang saw on Paul's face was - desolate...

It was too miserable!

In the summer, the Hornets' recruitment targets were Peja, Chandler, Garnett and others. Liu Mang asked Schwartz to go to the Hornets management to recommend the first two recruitment targets, but they were all snatched away by the Cavaliers!

Originally, Liu Mang gave the Hornets advice based on his impression of the lineup that could help Paul hit the MVP... and then became the key signing for James to hit the MVP in his fourth season.

Paul and James are very similar, both are the kind of stars who can lay the bottom line for the team.

While other teams were excited about the current situation, the Hawks didn't care so much, they played their own game, and came to Oklahoma City on November 25 to challenge the Hornets away.

When Liu Mang arrived in Oklahoma City, Paul came to him to complain.

There were a lot of complaints about the Hornets not having their own home stadium, the team not having helpers, etc. Even his starting inside player PJ Brown last season went to hug Garnett's thigh and play as a substitute. How miserable it was.

"Boss Ace, why am I so unlucky..." Paul was a little drunk...

Liu Mang looked at Paul and didn't know what to say. He took a sip of soda. He didn't expect that Paul's helper was snatched away by James, giving James a stronger teammate. Originally, in the original time and space, James' performance in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season was very explosive, and Liu Mang was also having a headache.

Paul was drunk, so Liu Mang sent him to a taxi and returned to the hotel.

The team is in good shape and getting better.

Liu Mang has played 33 minutes per game so far this season, scoring 27 points, 6 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 blocks and 2 steals, and has performed well on both offense and defense.

McGrady averaged 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, which is also okay.

Jason Terry averaged 15 points, Marion averaged 11 points and 10 rebounds, Kwame Brown averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds...

The Hawks' rebounding ranks first in the league this season. The offensive rebounds are a little less than the previous two seasons, but the defensive rebounds are very good this season, with an average of 47 rebounds per game.

The average score of 109 points per game can also rank second in the league, second only to the Warriors of old Nelson.

The key is the progress of several young players.

David Lee averaged 7 points and 7 rebounds per game, making up for the rebounding problem after Rasheed Wallace's decline.

What annoys Liu Mang the most is his substitute, who plays 15 minutes per game, gets 3.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4 assists...

After Rondo heard Liu Mang's evaluation of him after the second game of the season, he was about to lose confidence after playing so badly in the first two games, but he became more confident and played better on the defensive end. He averaged 1.7 steals per game in 15 minutes! His efficiency is higher than Liu Mang.

His assists and rebounds are also great, but the scoring... The scoring is not as high as the assists, which is also fascinating.

With a shooting percentage of 47%, Rondo rarely shoots, and he knows that his shooting is not accurate, so he usually shoots at the basket, but his free throw percentage of 40%... Occasionally, opponents will cut the point guard!

…

On November 26, the day after Liu Mang heard Paul's complaints, he did not take action because of Paul's pity, but played harder during the time he was on the court…

Rondo, who came off the bench, also defended Paul very well. Paul only made 5 of 13 shots in the whole game, got 13 points and 8 assists. The Hawks beat the Hornets 120-96 and easily defeated the Hornets, winning the tenth victory of the season, and improving the record to 10 wins and 5 losses, with a winning rate of 66.666%….

Originally, it was a three-game road trip in the Southwest Division. Oklahoma was in the Northwest. The day after playing the Hornets, the Hawks came to Houston, and then played away against the Rockets and Spurs.

It was OK to play against the Rockets on the 28th, but the main thing was to play against the Spurs on the 30th.

Duncan is the key. Last year, people thought that Duncan was already gone. He turned 30 in his tenth year of his career and was plagued by injuries. His peak was about to pass... This year, Duncan averaged 21 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.5 blocks per game... So far in the new season, Duncan's mid-range shooting percentage is a terrible 44.7%! Among the inside players who average more than 10 points per game, he is second only to Bargnani's 45% mid-range shooting percentage and Nowitzki's 46% mid-range shooting percentage. He can also rank sixth in the league, second only to Nowitzki, Garnett, Bargnani, Kobe, and Liu Mang!

Especially on the defensive end, he rarely jumps, and the probability of being in the background is higher, but Duncan's defensive efficiency is back.

After playing the "worst" performance of his career in the double second team, Duncan has the feeling of dominating both offense and defense again...

Before leaving for the three consecutive away games in the West, Liu Mang had already recorded the new program in Atlanta.

When Liu Mang arrived in Houston, he turned on the TV and saw that ESPN Sports Channel was already previewing a new show tonight!

"Detail", translated into Chinese, means details.

Liu Mang and ESPN have been cooperating more and more. This time the show was put on prime time, and Liu Mang was very satisfied.

Based on his own memory, the scout report, and his own research on Duncan's performance 30 days before the start of the season... Liu Mang was ready to start... praising Duncan!

The word count of the 1rd document in the previous chapter is a little different from the way the website counts words...
