From Today it is the King of the Basketball

Focus on the future.

Brandon Roy looked at the proverbs posted in the closet, and he believed he would succeed one day.

At least there has been a good start. After more than half of the season's efforts, he successfully made the team determined to wash the previous core members of the old generation. He finally succeeded in reversing the situation when he was not optimistic at the beginning. Attack, become the core of the team's future outside.

Roy is now averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4.4 assists. By this time of the season, the data will not change much. There is no doubt that Roy is the strongest player in this rookie.

To play the Eagles again, Roy is not in a particularly good mood, and can only adjust his emotions with the proverbs he has been using to encourage himself.

The Hawks are coming in fiercely. When he came to the arena in the afternoon, a large number of Hawks fans had gathered outside the arena.

Twice defeating the Lakers in the finals, the Hawks have a lot of support in Portland, this is a very sad thing for Roy.

Once upon a time, Liu Mang was once a "public enemy of Portland". A few years later, the pioneers fell apart. The former star went to the Hawks to get three consecutive championships. Now he is holding a lot of money to care for the elderly. People left, and the players who hated the Eagles and Liu Mang are no longer in this team. The power of the Eagles, especially the defeat of the Lakers in the finals, made Portland fans slowly forget. The previous hatred.

This is difficult for Roy, an old-school character. When he was selected by the Trail Blazers, he added a sense of mission to himself, or the goal he set for himself, is to lead the Blazers to revive.

The Trail Blazers have been in Portland since the team was founded in 1970, and after they won Bill Walton in the fourth year of team building, they quickly became a super team. Dunton was half disabled, and the Blazers remained depressed until Microsoft giant Paul Allen bought the Blazers in 1989. In 1990, the Blazers reached the finals again, opening the road for more than a decade of Western powerhouses.

Unfortunately, after the Lakers dynasty destroyed their last chance to win the championship at the beginning of the century, the Blazers declined again.

Although Roy graduated from the University of Washington, just like Pierce was a Los Angeles but joined the Celtics and became the soul of the Celtics, Roy wanted to be like Bill Wharton to make this team again The superstar who climbed to the top wants to be the pride of this city.

However, the Blazers have not enough background after all. The city ’s ball market is almost "falling". A superstar who has humiliated them many times has come to this city. A team that "robbed" their star has come to this city. The fans actually picked up the airport and cheered for them outside the stadium, which made it difficult for Roy to accept.

The last time Roy and his teammates went to Atlanta to fight the Hawks, they were slaughtered by 34 points. The opponent did not take them into consideration. All they could do was to pack Liu Mang and not let Liu Mang cut the high score and humiliation. they.

But it ’s a little bit different now. The Blazers seem to clean up a lot of role players with good data, but after cleaning up those players, they got 7 wins and 5 losses in the 12 games after the All-Star weekend. Although the record It is still only 27 wins and 40 losses, but compared to the situation where they seem to have a strong lineup but are bad, it is much better!

The progress of Roy and Aldridge, Randolph felt that the crisis to be sold was much more honest, the "prison inmates" who originally occupied the playing time and brushed the data but were a side effect left, and the hard-working edge players have changed After a lot of performance opportunities, he played very hard and gave the Trail Blazers a new look.

"Regardless of the result, hard work will pay off!" Roy looked at the proverb in the closet and cheered himself up.

Looks ... much like this "prison team" player.

This is Liu Mang's evaluation of Roy. When I saw Roy at first glance, Liu Mang was such an evaluation.

This is Liu Mang's third encounter with Roy.

For the first time, he was only scored more than ten points by the unlimited team, and the team won more than 30 points.

The second time was the All-Star rookie game. Roy won the rookie MVP with absolute dominance in the absence of Paul.

This is the third time.

From the beginning, Liu Mang felt that Roy's aging is not just the skills and experience he has honed in four years of college. He has grown older ...

"Does the Blazers look like they are more than ten years older than their actual age? Little Zhan Zhan is a good fit for this team!" Liu Mang stared at Roy and couldn't help vomiting.

"Ais, what are you talking about?" Maddie, who was doing the stretching exercise, asked curiously.

Just now Liu Mang spoke in Chinese, and McGrady did n’t understand it. Liu Mang did n’t expect to speak out. He looked at McGrady and said casually: “It ’s nothing. I just thought that the Blazers boss is really rich and the stadium has been renovated Right. "

"The Blazers boss seems to be the richest boss in the NBA. He can buy the entire NBA," Grant Hill interjected.

Liu Mang thought of the current market value of NBA teams, which seems really okay.

But who would have thought that the market value of NBA teams would be several times more in ten years ...

"Would you like to try to buy a team before the price increase? The price increase can't afford it, but American officials probably won't agree ..." Liu Mang thought for a while: "Maybe I can buy it for Avril, Bekas If the stinky boy grows up, if he likes to play basketball, let him make money for Avril ... "

Liu Mang was thinking wildly and moved his eyes away from Roy. Roy's tight body could finally relax.

Liu Mang's scrutiny of eyes gave Roy a sense of oppression.

Yesterday was the Blazers' rest day. They also just played consecutive away games and returned to Portland. The teammates all rested at home. Roy returned to Portland and went to the stadium to sneak a peek at Liu Mang's training.

When he arrived at the stadium at 3 pm, the staff told him that Liu Mang would be here after a little while. After he finished training at 5 pm, Liu Mang was still ...

At night, Roy was really curious. Although he didn't think it was possible, he went to the arena to take a look, and then saw that the lights of the visiting team's training ground were still on ...

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that he saw the Hawks coach Lang Kruger coming to the stadium to call Liu Mang back to the hotel.

I inquired with the staff. Except that the Hawks trainer came to dinner for Liu Mang at 5:30, Liu Mang has been practicing shooting and footsteps ...

This touched Roy very much!

Every year, there are leaps and bounds in progress. They do not come casually. They are better than his talents and work harder than him!

The game is about to start, Liu Mang looked at the ability evaluation of the Trail Blazers players.

"Brandon Roy, ability rating 84, offense 90, defense 81, three-point 82, shooting 88, layup 91, speed 90, strength 87 ..."

"Zakrandorf, ability rating 90, offense 97, defense 65, rebounds 96, 71 threes, 90 shots, layup 96, speed 82, strength 97 ..."

"Rad Marcus Aldridge, ability rating 75, offense 82, defense 70, three-point 51, mid-range shooting 84, layup 85, speed 80, power 88 ..."

"Jalette Jack, ability rating 82, offensive 80, defensive 81, three-point 77, 81 midrange, 83 layup, 90 speed, 81 force ..."

"Travis Outlaw, ability rating 79, offense 85, defense 62, three-point 81, mid-range 70, layup 89, speed 91, strength 79 ..."

"Jamaal Magloire, ability rating 75, offense 69, defense 79, rebound 90 ... speed 77, power 93 ..."

This is the ability evaluation of the Blazers ’six strongest players, and it is also the only six players whose ability evaluation exceeds 70, but the core structure is indeed very good.

Jack ... Liu Mang can't describe this player. Anyway, killing him will not make him his teammate.

Roy has made great progress, or he has completely integrated his college ability into the NBA. He is similar to those high-ranking rookies of the decade and has been very mature in the NBA. The data is not as good as that of James. But the role is similar to Anthony, the rookie season has the ability to lead the team to win.

Randolph was so strong that he averaged 23 points per game this season, but he did not have any willingness to defend. Aldridge in the same position was also full of talent. It depends on how the Trail Blazers choose. Liu Mang thinks Aldridge is at his peak. No Randolph is powerful.

Randolph averaged 23,102 stats per game, a strong destructive force under the rim, and he was able to easily play the strength of 2010 in the peak period. Aldridge could not be matched in any way, but Aldridge ’s professional attitude, Liu Mang thought It's the key to the Blazers' choice.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Hawks and Trail Blazers started the game.

The Hawks sent Rondo, Liu Mang, Granger, Marion and Kwame Brown today.

McGrady and Jason Terry took a break today. The Hawks think the Blazers can cause trouble for them, only inside.

The Blazers sent a lineup of Jack, Roy, Amy Uduka, Randolph, and Joel Purzbila.

The small forward is Uduka that Liu Mang has never heard of. The center is Pulzbila with 2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game ... This was the Blazers who took away from the Bucks with 5 years and 30 million last summer. Liu Mang didn't really know what the Trail Blazers' management plans to do, and now it can only be blocked.

The game was similar to what the Hawks expected. The Blazers were mainly Randolph.

What's more, unlike the Blazers who were a complete rotten team before the All-Star break, the Blazers didn't give up like this last time. They just didn't let Liu Mang score, and the players played very seriously.

However, there are also many problems. Randolph's play is too unique. The ball is in his hand and is the end point. Of course, he is very strong. Marion can't resist. Kwame Brown and Marion attacked. Randolph still has a percentage. In his early forties, his shooting percentage is quite sturdy, and not to mention that he is almost as high as Marion. His offensive rebounds are very strong, causing a lot of trouble for the Hawks inside.

But the relative ... outside, even if the Hawks have no McGrady and no Jason Terry, they still play the Blazers outside.

Liu Mang admired Roy's mentality of wanting to work with him, and then under Roy's defense, 15 points in the first quarter, including three consecutive three-pointers.

It was Roy's very steady choice on the offensive end. If he didn't have a good chance to pass, he should take the shot and shoot. The steady and solid style of play made Roy not so defensive as Liu Mang.

Originally, Liu Mang restrained Roy's relatively unexplosive opponent, but Roy handled the ball smartly, allowing him to circumvent other than Liu Mang's other than Liu Mang's strength. Disadvantage.

But that's it.

Liu Mang scored 15 points in the first quarter of the first quarter, which was indistinguishable from yesterday's shooting. Today's shot was very stable, with 27 points in the half, including a 3-pointer with 5 of 7 shots in the half.

Indeed, the backup combination of the Trailblazers Randolph and Aldridge gave the Eagles a lot of pressure inside, and it is also the key to the experts' reconciliation that the Blazers have the opportunity to beat the Eagles.

But the Hawks are also well prepared. The first game in the next match of the next day is obviously the most well-prepared for the Hawks tactics. The main insider is sent to try to limit the basis of Randolph ’s personal attacking ability. On the outside, Liu Mang was the main scorer. Rondo controlled the ball and easily took the lead from the offensive end.

After halftime, the Hawks led 11 points 59 to 48, laying a lead of more than 10 points.

Roy tried very hard to drive his teammates, but unfortunately he was just a rookie, the second was the roster, and the team was cleaned up, which really gave the Blazers a new look, but the bench lineup was terrible. They have won 7 games in the past 12 games. All rely on the main force, the only two on the bench with strength, one is Outlaw, a thin assaulter, and one is Aldridge this rookie, really fight against the strong team, embarrassing task.

The Blazers barely gotten spent in the first half, but in the third quarter, Randolph, who scored 8 of 18 shots in the first half and scored 22 points in the first half, began to show the fat-like fatigue characteristics of the fat man. Down.

The team of role players Battier, Swift, Kwame Brown, led by Rondo and Grant, played a beautiful team basketball in the third quarter, playing the Blazers in a single quarter 24-15, and will be divided in one fell swoop. Open to 20 points.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers really had to rely on Roy. Roy broke out in the third quarter and scored 11 points on 4 of 8 shots in the single quarter. But helpless others made 1 of 12 shots in total ...

After three quarters, the Hawks led the Blazers 83-63.

There was no suspense in the game. Although Roy's performance of 21 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in three quarters was outstanding as a rookie, and Roy did not end in garbage time, Coach McMillan wanted him to play against the strong team's bench more. After playing, Roy scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists.

Randolph scored 30 points and 12 rebounds, including five offensive rebounds. The short and flexible fat man is really difficult to prevent.

However, on the Hawks side, Granger as the second offensive point today, also got 25 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Rondo with 0 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Grant Hill sent steadily. Eight points and five assists. Of course, Liu Mang's first-half ruinous half-three five-pointers are the key.

The Hawks ended up with a 108-99 victory over the Trail Blazers to get a five-game winning streak.

Unexpectedly lost, Roy was ready for a long time, but only rested for four minutes in the second quarter, the second half was full, and the opponent finally put on the pure first and second grade lineups, Roy was desperate for garbage time The breakthrough and passing of the game only narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points in the last ten seconds.

The gap in strength is obvious. Although he was fully psychologically prepared, Roy was still very uncomfortable.

Seeing an "as it were" expression on the Hawks' team, the high-five high-five to celebrate the victory, Roy was just turned when he was about to leave.

"Brandon, wait."

Roy turned and saw that it was the Chinese superstar who was shocked by his training yesterday.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, what's the matter?" Roy is familiar with Liu Mang. No basketball player has been unfamiliar with Liu Mang in recent years. Especially in American universities and high schools, too many young players want to imitate Liu. Reckless.

However, Liu Mang didn't even care about the Trail Blazers after the last game, and he didn't talk to Roy. Liu Rong left in the rookie game before the game, worrying about traffic jams in the casino.

This is the first time Roy has face-to-face communication with Liu Mang.

"Mr. Liu ..." Liu Mang heard this title and remembered the first time he met Xiao Zhan Zhan in the same year.

"Just call me Ace, and I won't beat you much." Liu Mang asked Roy to change his name.

Sir ... Seeing a guy with a head-up pattern comparable to Xiao Zhan Zhan called him "Mr." Liu Mang felt like he was called old.

"Okay, Ace, do you have something to look for me?" Roy changed his name.

"It's nothing, I just saw your play style and want to remind you ..."

Before Liu Mang finished his speech, he saw Roy's eyes bright!

Liu Mang felt Roy very excited!

This ... can't help but Roy is not excited, there is a rumor among young players. Legend has it that young players who were "pointed" by Liu Mang have made great progress since then. As the founder of "Snake Science", Liu Mang once Instruct Wade, James, Josh Smith, Iguodala, Boozer, etc., and these people have quickly become the best among the new generation of players.

However, Liu Mang's temper has always been very strange in the rumors. Roy can see that Liu Mang doesn't know why he is going to be against Kobe.

Liu Mang is generally aimed at the Lakers, mainly to Kobe, this matter has been an unsolved mystery in the NBA.

As a rookie, getting Liu Mang has been discussed whether it is the first person in active service, and not the first person in active strength, but compared with Duncan and O’Neill, whose historical status is the superstar of the first active person. Guidance, even if pride is like Roy, can't help but surging.

Duncan's two consecutive MVPs are the only ones in active service and have at least 55 wins in all seasons except the lockout season. O'Neill and Liu Mang have three consecutive championships and three consecutive matches. A star who competes recklessly in historical position.

And at this point, Liu Mang obviously does not have that consciousness.

"Mr. Liu, is there anything wrong with my style of play that needs to be improved?" Roy's title changed back ...

"Sir ... here again ... forget it."

Liu Mang slandered a bit, and said it directly, but he was unfamiliar. I just saw Roy and won his halftime punch card to get off work. I am in a good mood, just to remind you.

"Branton, your style of play is too bad for your knee, I think you should pay attention, try to adjust some details of your breakthrough and emergency stop jumper, reduce the pressure on the knee, you can study with your shooting trainer For a moment, I think your movements are a bit awkward. If you can adjust it better, it will reduce the probability of injury. If you have problems with your knees, do n’t be brave. " .

It's enough to say here, if things are the same as in the original time and space, Liu Mang can't care.

There are indeed many people who say that his shooting is awkward, it is not ugly, but that his strength in the waist and knees is disconnected, and it is not limited to emergency stop jumpers or fixed-point shooting. It's awkward.

Of course, this really made him difficult to prevent, but the slight unnatural force movements made him easily injured.

If someone else said this, Roy would n’t take it to heart, but Liu Mang ... that would be different.

Roy felt ... Liu Mang must have studied him!

This makes Roy feel excited! He was just a rookie, Liu Mang actually studied him!

"Does Liu think of me as a future opponent like Kobe and Odom?"

Liu Mang couldn't think of anything. After listening to his words, Roy thought of this ...
