Chapter 294

The gap is too big!

Like the Eagles, the Nets, Pistons, and Celtics played against Western teams after the All-Star Weekend, and then they all lost miserably.

Especially the Celtics, seeing a series of fiery performances before the All-Star weekend, they are about to overtake the Pistons and take the third place in the Eastern Conference.

However, in the last few games, they encountered the Jazz, Kings, and Mavericks one after another, and they lost three games in a row.

Immediately afterwards, the Celtics had to go to the home court of their old rivals, the Lakers, and O'Neal just chose to come back in this game.

People are one-sided that the Celtics are going to die.

However, Liu Mang had the impression that O'Neill was going to "consecrate" Pierce. From then on, Pierce would become the soul of the green shirt army who claimed to be "the first man in the universe".

However, this does not have much impact on the overall dismal situation in the East.

The real strong teams of the people all made great strides after the All-Star Weekend, while the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference, after the All-Star Game, the East and West teams played more and more, and they began to lose.

The Nets and Pistons, which were not much different from the Eagles' records, now look like they may win 50 games!

The Nets have 20 games left, 39 wins and 23 losses, and the Pistons have 21 games left, 37 wins and 24 losses. The Celtics almost caught up with the Pistons, but they also capsized.

That is to say, except for the Eagles who played a tactic that their opponents couldn't understand at all, and the Eagles who came out in the east, everyone else was eaten to death by the teams in the west!

If a series is played with a score of 4 to 0, it proves that before the start of the series, the winning side not only did not underestimate the opponent because of its weakness, but instead attached great importance to it and studied the opponent thoroughly! Only then can there be bloody abuse.

And the most important point, in the case that the powerful center has been out of gear, as Mutombo, Ratliff and others are getting old, if there is another Ben Wallace, the Eastern Iron and Blood defense will be helpless. Thought to continue.

In other words, the Jagged Eastern Conference created by Chuck Daly, the leader of the Bad Boys, and Pat Riley, the fortune teller, did not collapse because of this style of play. collapsed.

...

...

In the last two months of the schedule, the Eagles were as relaxed and comfortable as they were at the beginning of the season.

After playing the Wizards, the Eagles came to the warm south coast. After playing the Wizards, the Eagles had two days to rest and flew directly to Miami, where their next opponent is located.

The hospitable Mourning called Raheem as soon as the Eagles arrived at the Miami hotel at noon and asked them to play together.

This time Rahim brought Liu Mang!

Why did the "adults" have to bring Liu Mang to the party? In the previous gatherings, Liu Mang was disgusted that he couldn't drink or go to nightclubs. It was too much of a hindrance, but this time he brought him?

It was because after Mourning suffered from kidney disease, he abstained from drinking and sex at all the parties he attended or hosted by himself, so Liu Mang was finally able to attend the "adults" party.

but……

Most of the NBA players are black. If the party is not about picking up girls and drinking, it is about bragging and gambling.

Liu Mang followed Rahim to a private club in Miami. If he was not allowed to bring girls, he was really not allowed to bring girls. Even the waiters were old men.

If you ask carefully, this place was originally a gay shop, but it was reserved by Mourning...

As bold as Mourning, before he suffered from kidney disease, he belonged to the kind of person who would rather die under the peony flower than a liuxiahui who would live a long life.

But after facing the threat of death once, if you say robbery, you will robbery, and if you say quit drinking, you will quit drinking.

When I came to this club, I watched the rich capitalists start to gamble, and the bosses started to brag. I counted the pride of the year, especially Eddie Jones, and there was no hostility on the court. I started to brag that Kobe used to be Yun Yun who helped him.

This is different from the gathering of NBA players that Liu Mang imagined!

This feels like rich locals who forcibly treat guests to dinner when the whole city is banning alcohol and pornography. It is an entertainment without technical content!

The talent of black rhythms is usually good. For example, Emmanuel can sing a few lines of black fear while drinking soda, and the people present are still enjoying it, twisting and cheering...

but……

Besides having money...

Except that the place is a little taller...

How is this different from the domestic gatherings of college students and high school students who can't find girlfriends...

If you have something to ask the nanny, the nanny is good! Will not maliciously attack ridicule, will not maliciously retaliate against satire.

Hearing Liu Mang's question, Muhammad said strangely: "Isn't that what gatherings are like? We rarely see each other several times a year. Malik and I were roommates in college, and we haven't seen each other for a long time after entering the NBA... "

Listening to Muhammad's thought-provoking answers, Liu Mang's understanding of the NBA deepened a little.

In fact, compared with ordinary NBA rookies, Liu Mang is no different from ordinary rookies except that he is a fan who has watched the NBA since he was a child, and has memories of some players, some games, etc., and some transactions.

They are all the same and are still getting familiar with this new working environment. It is the same as other rookies, but he performed well. As the third person of the team, he can even be better. The atmosphere in the team is good. For example, Raheem didn't care about worldly affairs at the beginning, Mohammed had a nanny heart, and Jason Terry took care of him even though he had a bad mouth. One becomes a brother...

As for the NBA country, which puts aside the team and the game, Liu Mang wants to integrate into this circle. The time and adaptation required are not much different from ordinary rookies.

Liu Mang thought about what Muhammad said was actually quite right. He also made a few friends in the NBA. During the season, due to various busy schedules, there were actually few contacts. Even Jordan, Tracy McGrady and Pau Gaso Er and others, except for the games, usually don’t chat, like Gasol, it is really possible that there is no game, and there is no time to contact for half a year.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang changed his mentality to face the gathering of NBA players.

Think of it as a reunion of college classmates?

Teammates... just treat them as roommates, they are very familiar and see each other almost every day.

Opponent players... just treat them as classmates in the same class and department, the kind of people who are not familiar with each other, but who have such a relationship.

Opponents in the same class...like classmates? College classmates are different from high school, they are not in the same dormitory, and they may not be familiar with each other even in the same class.

It seems that there are... It seems that there is no "classmate".

However, Liu Wei did not expect that Muhammad would actually be a "high-achieving student" at the University of Kentucky, a very famous basketball school in the future!

My own college alumni...forget it...

Suddenly I miss my "classmates" so much!

Liu Mang called Gasol...
