While negotiating with the Heat, the Eagles embarked on a new year's journey despite being compact but relatively weak.

On January 1, the Eagles and Wizards started their first game of the new year.

101 to 92, the Hawks defeated the Wizards with no fear.

Liu Mang scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks, so Arenas only got 16 points.

It looks like the score difference is small, but the fans who watched the game knew how bad the Wizards played.

When the first quarter ended, the Hawks played a 38-11 for the Wizards, leading by 27 points in the first quarter!

Arenas this season can be said to see everyone soaring, playing 36 games, although only 4 times 40, but 25 games are more than 30 points, no less than 20 points.

But ... Today Arenas' first 10 in the first 10 ...

Liu Mang is not so good at defending, and certainly not as good as Prince, but it is defending.

The main role is psychological. Arenas sees Liu Mang dying. The more he wants to prove himself, the more he casts, the more iron he gets. Liu Mang steals 3 blocks and 2 blocks in the first quarter. of.

However, after Liu Mang took a break in the second quarter, he couldn't help vomiting this group of teammates.

The wave was lawless, and he gave a 20-point lead to the start of the wave. The wave was 60 to 51 at the end of the half, and the score difference was only 9 points. The opponent scored 40 points in a single quarter ...

Jamison is really good, hitting Marion and Granger with 22 points in a quarter.

Jamison made 17 of 31 shots, 7 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 46 points. However, Jamison's one-person boom was useless. After Liu Mang reappeared in the third quarter, he stabilized the situation again, although Liu Mang continued in the last quarter. Afterwards, Arenas dared to fight and waste time to raise the score to 30, but the Hawks still won.

Liu Mang played 23 minutes, 15 of 9, and easily scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks to help the Eagles win.

After playing the Wizards, the Hawks took a day off. No. 3 and No. 4 ushered in a back-to-back home game against the Grizzlies and Rockets, two teams in the Southwest Division. Then there was a day off on No. 5, No. 6, No. 8, and No. 10. No., three games in five days, playing the Timberwolves, Celtics, Bucks.

It was okay back-to-back. I just entered this rhythm. I haven't reached the situation where the team has physical problems. I won both games at home.

Liu Mang scored 20 points in the Grizzlies, only 23 minutes, 6 of 11 shots, 4 of them were three-pointers, and easily won the third lowest Western Grizzlies; Rockets scored 39 points, poor One point equalled 40 times last season. Iguodala defended Liu Mang well. This opponent knew him too well. Liu Mang did all he could. He scored 39 points on 13 of 30 shots to help the Eagles. Get a five-game winning streak.

But the remaining three games are three consecutive away games the next day, especially the Timberwolves just after playing back-to-back with the Grizzlies and Rockets. Although Liu Mang scored 45 points, it tied 40 times last season. To the eighth time this season, 40, but helpless McGrady today scored 2 of 12, only got 6 points, and also had 5 turnovers, the Hawks lost 87 to 99 away to the Timberwolves.

This is purely in a bad state on his side. Liu Mang knew why the Mavericks could lose to the Grizzlies and Celtics.

But then playing the Celtics, Liu Mang only scored 30 points, the Eagles beat the Celtics 33 points.

The last game of the brutal schedule started with the Bucks. Reed struggled alone in this game. He scored 39 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists. He led the team to beat Liu Mang with 35 points. Led by the Eagles.

At the beginning of the new year, the Hawks were 4 wins and 2 losses, and overall it was pretty good.

The record has also improved to 24 wins and 13 losses, which is a clear advantage over the Raptors' 22 wins and 17 losses.

The Heat have dropped to eighth in the East, and the Hawks are now basically stable.

The Hawks coaching staff and Liu Mang's ideas are stable.

On a rare occasion, he did not get the first in the East. Liu Mang felt the record of the middle and upper reaches of the East. I understand that the East entered the playoffs ... It is not so difficult. The first four are not particularly difficult. It's really not easy. The first and second in the east are often very far behind.

The Bulls, now ranked second in the East, have 29 wins and 10 losses, two games more than the Hawks and three games less.

With fewer than 10 games in the league, there are only three teams, the Mavericks, Lakers and Cavaliers.

After three consecutive games, Liu Mang and his teammates returned to Atlanta. In the next 10 days, there were five games. They were not as compact as the first ten days, but the opponent became stronger.

It's mid-season, and many teams are beginning to have some fatigue. The Hawks are relatively better. The previous schedule is easy, but it also heralds a brutal test.

The first is the three home games, the Nuggets, the Suns, and the Jazz. The game against the Suns and the Jazz is back-to-back at home, followed by a two-consecutor, the back-to-back game against the Bulls and Magic. The weakest Magic is a hard stubble Don't look at their average record, they just improved to a 15% to 15% win rate and climbed to the fifth in the east, but they are very hard!

The main reason is that 34-year-old Grant Hill miraculously maintained a 70% appearance rate. In 30 games, 21 games were played. The games that did not play are all back-to-back games. The last year of the big contract, the Magic also To save some use.

And Hill averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals per game in 26 minutes per game, which played a crucial role in the Magic's rush into the playoffs.

Are not good opponents.

"Iverson, Anthony, wow, finally have to deal with them." McGrady came to the arena early this morning to practice shooting and was very excited.

"Are you defending against Iverson or my defense?" Liu Mang asked a very important question.

"Aise, you are the best defensive lineup, you come." McGrady decisively complimented the wave.

"No no no no, Tracy you are already a defensive master of the second defense, or you come." Liu Mang immediately replied.

Anti-Iverson, **** it!

The man who hates defense most is Iverson, preferring to be elbowed by Kobe rather than being shaken by this guy.

"Ace, you ..." McGrady stared at Liu Mang silently. "You can't help it, can't I prevent it?"

Liu Mang and McGrady looked at each other and were silent.

Suddenly, Liu Mang shook a figure in his head ...

"Do you want to keep Jane?" Liu Mang made a suggestion.

"Aise, is this okay?" McGrady said so, but his eyes were bright.

Who wants to prevent Iverson, who is better at this CIC, and will pass?

"Tracy, this is the experience for Rajan. Only by playing with the strongest opponent can he become stronger!" Liu Mang said clang powerfully.

"... Ace, you are always right!" McGrady said nothing for two seconds, and immediately echoed.

The two gave a high-five, that's it!

After a while, Mike Woodson came, and Liu Mang and Mike Woodson talked about letting Rondo defend against Iverson.

Mike Woodson thought it was okay: "Rajan's speed and defensive awareness are enough. You can take a break from Ace. You have been too tired to attack recently."

Although Mike Woodson has clearly rejected the Hawks renewal contract, there are already many teams waiting for the end of this season.

But in his place, when he was in charge of his affairs, Mike Woodson did not just handle the current teaching assistant job because he was ready to change to become the head coach.

The Hawks have a very important thing this season, that is, to allow Liu Mang to rest more, and to raise Liu Mang ’s five seasons from the NBA at least to play a huge body every year.

Rondo offensively ... just like that, basically no improvement, the free throw is slightly better, but almost half a season later, just 50% of free throws, compared with 48% of the total shots Shooting rate, this free throw shooting rate is spicy, and a 2.5% three-point shooting rate is even spicier.

Rondo has made 16 three-pointers so far this season and only made two .... In the NBA official website's data table, Rondo averaged 0 three-pointers per game because less than 0.1 per game ...

But Rondo's defensive improvement is very significant, just like his more and more familiar pass, like God for dinner, pass and defense have a natural instinct.

With Rondo who can keep up with Iverson's speed, Liu Mang has a lighter burden, and Mike Woodson feels feasible.

Mike Woodson had a chat with Liu Mang and decided to use this multi-purpose Rondo against Iverson. Then he went back to the office and Liu Mang continued to compete with McGrady to shoot.

At this point, McGrady can't compare with Liu Mang. McGrady's various technologies, in addition to relying on physical breakthroughs, other shots or footsteps, have reached first-class peaks. When they are closest to the top, they have stalled.

His talent allows him to quickly master any technique, but the upper limit is there. He cannot be as extreme as Liu Mang, Kobe, Duncan.

This leads to McGrady if he is healthy and does not have a good helper as he did in the Magic team of the 0203 season, he can use all his technical characteristics to achieve epic efficiency, but in a role In the strong team, he may not be as prominent as Klay Thompson's dedicated player to the ultimate in addition to passing.

However, Tracy McGrady ’s comprehensiveness allows him to do things that most types of players like Klay Thompson ca n’t do. For example, if Klay Thompson feels uncomfortable with a three-pointer, it ’s a pit, and Tracy McGrady has many adjustments. method.

Each has its own advantages. For Liu Mang, a pure pitcher is of course not as good as a whimper that can be thrown out if you don't want to do anything.

Another shooting match between Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady is about to begin, and Mike Woodson returns in a hurry.

"What happened to Mike, did the coach say that Rajan would not be allowed to play?" Liu Mang burst into his heart.

McGrady also hurts, no one wants to defend against Iverson!

"No, Ace ... Tracy, you come together ..."

Mike Woodson took Liu Mang and McGrady to the office.

Something happened ...

"The Eagles are crazy! 》

On January 12, 2007, the Hawks prepared for the game with the Nuggets on January 13. T.N.T gave such a title on the official website headline.

"Awesome Deal, Hawks Take Over Dwyane Wade"

ESPN gave a satisfactory headline title.

Then the NBA official, the Eagles official and the Heat official confirmed the transaction.

The Hawks sent out the 2007 Rockets first-round lotto to protect the draft picks, the Hawks 2007 second-round picks, the Hawks 2008 second-round picks, Keller Korver, Ty Shawn Prince, Rashid Wallace and Paul Millsap were awarded garbage contracts by the Heat's Dwyane Wade and Antoine Walker.

This is a sudden news. Before the Eagles and the Heat did not reveal any wind, people were concerned about the potential trade of the Nets and the Supersonics in the middle of the season. I did n’t expect the Eagles and the Heat to actually carry out. About Wade's deal!

With two important rotation players to change Dwyane Wade, people feel the Hawks are crazy!

This is gambling!

Time Warner's commentator Bill Wharton analyzed: "The Hawks are only ranked third in the Eastern Conference this season ~ www.readwn.com ~ As the best team in the new century, the greatest team, they must be The results are unsatisfactory, and for the foreseeable future two or three years, their lineup is not as dominant as they used to be. They are betting that Wade can return to health next season. If Wade recovers 70% or 80% of his strength, The Hawks made the deal.

But this kind of risk is very big. Wade's salary is 12 million next season. If Wade fails to return to the Hawks' ideal state, they will all bear Wade's big contract before 2010, just like Granthi. It dragged the Magic down on them like that. "

Bill Wharton's analysis has gained wide acceptance.

Just like ESPN's headline is that the Hawks "take over" Wade, rather than the outside line of the MVP combination that formed Liu Mang, Wade, and McGrady, almost no one had much hope for Wade at this time.

Wade's injury is the first since the NBA has a record of injury. Only he has torn the cruciate ligament without the meniscus.

The Eagles are like a gambler this time.

but……

This gambling-style deal is in line with the Hawks' temperament ...

The Eagles seem to be gambling every year, from the big dog at the beginning, to Tianzun, to McGrady. Except for the 0506 season, they played steadily once.

On the Hawks side, this transaction is generally considered to be of positive significance. The Hawks are seeking change and are uneasy about the status quo.

And the Heat team ...

Pat Riley was attacked again ...

Wade was just injured, and in less than a month, he sold them!
