Chapter 1051 1050. The Strongest Scoring Performance in History! (Eighth Update)

People think the Clippers are crazy!

He actually let Liu Mang fight one-on-one from the outside!

When Liu Mang played Cassel, Cassel's height and wingspan were not much different. Cassel was 1.91 meters and had a wingspan of 2.03 meters, which is a very outstanding hardware condition among point guards.

Liu Mang's height of 1.93 meters does not have any obvious advantages, but coupled with his wingspan of 2.08 meters, the advantage becomes even greater.

If Cassel was a young man with top-notch defense, it would put some pressure on Liu Mang, but now at 36 years old, although he still has good defensive ability, that's Liu Mang!

The people watching the game and the fans in front of the TV all thought the Clippers were crazy!

Seeing that Liu Mang's outside line was very tight, he went to the mid-range shot. A little slower on the outside line, Liu Mang was directly on both sides of the top arc.

And it’s so accurate!

It’s so accurate!

Liu Mang's mid-range shots and long-range shots were perfect for a time!

In the first half of the third quarter, Liu Mang made 6 of 6 shots and 3 of 3 three-pointers. He didn't make two goals until the sixth minute, but he still scored 15 points in the half quarter!

Although as expected by the Clippers, they stuck to the basket and did not attack Liu Mang. The rest of the Hawks team gradually became colder. The key is that Liu Mang kept playing in isolation. The rest of the Hawks team was not very good at tactics, and their outside shooting was not that good. Accurate, except for McGrady who rushed to the basket and scored a 2+1, the rest of the Hawks made 0 of 4 shots in the half quarter.

Mainly on the defensive end, Tracy McGrady, an important offensive organizer, was very physically demanding to defend Maggette. Before Maggette was seriously injured, he was too good at breaking out.

But the Eagles relied on Liu Mang to score 15 points in the half, and the Eagles scored 18 points in the half!

54 points!

There are more than 5 minutes left in the third quarter, and Liu Mang has already scored 54 points!

However, the Clippers played very hard and didn't pay much attention to the defensive end. After guarding one man and one man, the offensive efficiency also improved, scoring 19 points in the first half.

The Clippers' state today is really nothing to say, they played very violently.

By the official timeout of the third quarter, the Hawks were 79 to 74, only leading the Clippers by 5 points.

It has to be said that the Clippers' gambling-style choice is the right choice for winning. So far in the first and third quarters of the Eagles today, if Liu Mang has a singles opportunity, the Eagles team offense will be stagnant. of.

When Liu Mang was scoring like crazy, people thought there was something wrong with the Clippers' heads. But when the official timeout came, they saw the Clippers clinging to the score and found that the Clippers made the right choice.

As long as the Clippers wait until Liu Mang feels bad, just like from the fifth minute to the sixth minute and nineteen seconds, Liu Mang failed to score twice, and the Clippers took the opportunity to pull Liu Mang to 10 points. The score difference quickly narrowed to 5 points.

From the perspective of the game, people feel that the Clippers seem to have hope!

Especially in the second half of the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 12 points in the half, but the Hawks only had 14 points in the half, but the Clippers scored 15 points in the half, 34 points in a single quarter, and scored 34 to 31 in a single quarter. , chasing the score to 89 to 92, people felt that the Clippers had a chance to overtake!

"Data brush..."

"Data brush..."

"Data brush..."

Liu Mang took few shots in the first half of the third quarter. He came back from the official timeout. He knew that his teammates' shots were inaccurate and it was his fault. Then he increased the number of shots and even shot when double-teamed. In the second half of the quarter, he made 4 of 11 shots, three-pointers. 2 of 7, but caused a three-point foul, made two of three free throws, and still scored 12 points in the second half!

At the end of three quarters, Liu Mang had scored 66 points in three quarters!

Liu Mang himself broke the historical second and third quarter scoring record of 60 points in three quarters that he and Kobe held together!

As for first place...it was Chamberlain's 69 points in three quarters...

Just one goal away, Liu Mang missed the last shot, and he was very upset.

But with 66 points in three quarters, Liu Mang already dominated the second place!

The fans at the scene were unhappy. The Clippers just narrowed the point difference by three points, and the Hawks were three points less than their halftime lead. The fans at the scene began to shout "data brush" loudly.

Liu Mang regretted that he could not break 69 points or tie 69 points, but he also felt that it was great. He did not expect the feel of the third quarter. It was mainly due to the one-on-one half quarter in the first quarter that he developed his touch. 5 of 10 three-pointers, 10 of 19 shots, and 27 points!

Listening to the roars of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang raised his hands, curled the three middle fingers, stretched out his thumb and little finger, raised both hands above his head and shook them, and walked towards the sidelines.

Seeing Liu Mang's gesture, how could the fans at the scene not know what it meant? The little Lolita on the sidelines had already jumped up, and her voice had been hoarse for a long time. However, amidst the crazy boos at the scene, the little Lolita's small voice had no effect.

But Liu Mang has always cared about it. Every time he sees his father, little Lolita and Levia jumping up to celebrate, he will be more motivated.

…

"Let him take the data! The victory is ours! We have already caught up and are only three points away. In the last quarter, we must go all out! End their 18-game winning streak! Let us rush back to sixth place!" Brand passionately Mobilizing vigorously.

During the break, the Clippers were even more excited. The point difference was only three points. As for Liu Mang's 66 points in three quarters... When the Lakers went to Atlanta to play, they were beaten by Liu Mang by 70 points. They were beaten by Liu Mang for three quarters. 66 points, which doesn’t seem to be much different.

That's how it is with people. If you find someone who is as miserable as you, you will feel that you are not so miserable.

The Clippers want to win even more!

At this time, Brand actually doesn't need to mobilize. The group of people who rose together this season have a good relationship. Generally speaking, the relationship between players of teams that rose together will be particularly good, just like the Hawks, after all, they have suffered together.

The Clippers are very motivated to prepare for the fourth quarter.

...

On the Hawks side, contrary to the fans' expectations, the Hawks are not so nervous.

Coach Kruger looked at the statistics, Brand, 33 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, Cassell 21 points, 6 assists, Maggette 13 points, 7 rebounds, Mobley 11 points, Kaman 8 points, 10 rebounds, Radmanovich 7 points...

The Clippers scored 89 points in three quarters, and they really have a good feel and are in excellent form.

However, Cassell played for 36 minutes, Brand played for 36 minutes, and Maggette played for 33 minutes...

The top three scorers of the Clippers, who are also the most core trio of the Clippers, played enough time today...

But the focus must be maintained.

"Defense! Ace scored, others should defend as much as possible! Although we lost 89 points in the first three quarters, it was not because of poor defense, but because they broke out. They have played for a long time, and their physical strength must have declined in the fourth quarter, but this is only possible. We must defend as well as in the first three quarters. We must get Ace's scoring record, and we must also get the 18-game winning streak!" Mike Woodson is using the 18-game winning streak and Liu Mang's scoring record to motivate the players.

Liu Mang's shooting alone will more or less affect the enthusiasm of others, but Liu Mang's importance among teammates is very strong. They have helped Liu Mang to this point, so of course they have to continue.

Moreover, the 18-game winning streak must be taken!

The intermission between the third and fourth quarters of the two teams was no longer arranged for tactics, but to encourage fighting spirit and enthusiasm!

The Hawks failed to defend the Clippers, who made 13 of 24 shots in the third quarter. Similarly, the Clippers did not defend Liu Mang, who made 10 of 19 shots.

Both teams have tried their best to defend, but they just can't defend the other side's hot hand.

Then in the fourth quarter, it depends on performance!

…

…

The fourth quarter is back.

The Hawks sent out Liu Mang, Iguodala, Prince, Josh Smith, and Mourning.

On the Clippers side, the core trio of Cassell, Maggette, and Brand continued to play, and Mobley and Kaman also continued to play. Both of them performed very well today. Mobley's three three-pointers and Kaman's 10 rebounds in three quarters were the key to the Clippers' ability to keep the score close!

The Hawks attacked first.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt. Cassell had to save his energy on the offensive end and use Maggette to defend Liu Mang.

Liu Mang saw Maggette guarding the three-point line, and immediately bent down and made a posture to break through. Maggette saw Liu Mang's action and thought of Liu Mang's explosive speed. He quickly lowered his center of gravity to prevent Liu Mang from breaking through. In terms of explosive speed, Maggette was not bad, but he was too poor at using his body.

Liu Mang suddenly took a step to the right side of the top arc and made a three-point shot!

Maggette's first reaction... was to take a step back! In terms of defensive prediction, Maggette is nothing compared to Cassell.

Liu Mang shot a three-pointer...

The first shot in the fourth quarter, and it was a hit!

69 points!

95 to 89, the score difference is 6 points again!

"Stick to the wall! Don't worry about his breakthrough, we are in the interior!" Cassell went up and told Maggette about the key points of defense.

Liu Mang's 66 or 69 points, the Clippers don't mind, they want to win.

The current Clippers are really committed to the game compared to the first half.

The Clippers attack, Cassell goes to the frontcourt, and picks and rolls with Brand. After Cassell attracts Liu Mang and Josh Smith to double-team, he passes the ball to Brand in the mid-range, and Brand hits the first mid-range shot in the fourth quarter!

91 to 95, still four points behind.

Attack and defense switch, the Hawks attack.

Liu Mang pushed forward to the frontcourt. This time Maggette followed his instructions and came up to defend Liu Mang. Before Maggette rushed over, Liu Mang quickly changed direction and left Maggette, who had excellent lateral movement ability but poor defensive judgment that made the Clippers coaching staff and fans want to vomit blood, behind him. Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line, and Brand had already made up for it.

Still didn't pass the ball. Liu Mang believed in himself at this time! Without taking three steps, Kaman and Mourning squeezed under the basket. Liu Mang stopped abruptly at the free throw line, grabbed the ball with one hand and lifted it forward. Brand reached out to shoot, Liu Mang grabbed the ball, took it back, and used his left foot as the axis. He turned 180 degrees and lifted the ball in the direction of Josh Smith. Cassell, who was chasing and defending, blocked Josh Smith, and Brand also retreated to the basket to block Josh Smith.

But Liu Mang still faked! Didn't pass!

Liu Mang took the ball back, turned 180 degrees again, and turned over and jumped!

"Ding... The low-post back-to-back skill is triggered at level 5. The host uses low-post footwork to shake off the defender. This close-range shooting ability +5..."

Liu Mang made a close-range turnaround jump shot!

It doesn't matter if it hits. Liu Mang has made 23 of 40 shots today, 17 of 20 free throws, and 8 of 15 three-pointers, scoring 71 points.

71 points, after Liu Mang scored 66 points in three quarters, breaking 70 points is something people expected.

It's mainly because of the 23rd ball Liu Mang just scored, and the way Liu Mang scored!

It was a dream footwork!

Today, Coach Zhang, who didn't know whether to be depressed or happy, felt a little confused when he saw Liu Mang's low-post footsteps. This... Kobe's stealing of Liu Mang's low-post footsteps is going to be confirmed!

This footstep is better than Kobe's!

Liu Mang felt the exclamations on the scene, smiled and turned back to defense. It was too unexpected. He just subconsciously did the action at that time. The usual practice was not in vain! This time is a good start!

It's still a 6-point difference.

The Clippers continued to chase points, but after the first shot, the Clippers' efficiency declined a bit. From the three quarters to 50% of the hit rate, there was a slight decline, but it still held up for the time being.

On Liu Mang's side, the scoring efficiency began to decline because the Clippers double-teamed quickly, but Josh Smith and Iguodala were there, and the rebounding rush was much better than the third quarter.

After Liu Mang came up and scored 5 points, he made a mistake and missed more shots. Fortunately, during this period, Iguodala and Josh Smith took advantage of Liu Mang being double-teamed and almost rushed for offensive rebounds. Kaman defended the defensive rebounds very well in the first three quarters, and all 10 rebounds were defensive rebounds. But in the fourth quarter, his physical strength began to decline, and the Hawks rushed to grab offensive rebounds continuously.

At 5 minutes and 30 seconds in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang took advantage of the double pick-and-roll of Josh Smith and Mourning, broke into the inside and scored two points with a layup, and the score reached 79 points!

79 points!

The third in history!

Liu Mang broke the third scoring record of 78 points in a single game held by the basketball emperor Chamberlain!

The Clippers missed the next shot, and Liu Mang ran directly to the frontcourt. Maggette also desperately chased Liu Mang. After Iguodala grabbed the defensive rebound, he passed it to Liu Mang. Liu Mang received the ball and faced Maggette's defense and chased for a three-pointer!

It went in!

Liu Mang made his second three-pointer in this quarter!

The Hawks grabbed 7 offensive rebounds in the first half of the quarter. Iguodala and Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebounds and immediately passed them to Liu Mang. Liu Mang threw the ball 15 times in the first half of the quarter!

6 of 15 shots! 2 of 3 free throws, 2 of 7 three-pointers, Liu Mang scored 16 points in the first half of the quarter!

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the score difference did not narrow, but was expanded to 7 points by the Hawks!

The Clippers scored 13 points in the first half of the quarter, and their efficiency was significantly lower than that in the third quarter. Brand's singles were not so amazing, all thanks to Cassell and Mobley who each scored a three-pointer.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Clippers scored 102 points, but the Hawks scored 17 points in the first half of the quarter! In addition to Alonzo Mourning getting an offensive rebound and winning two free throws, Liu Mang scored 16 points alone.

109 to 102!

Liu Mang made 27 of 53 shots, 9 of 19 three-pointers, and scored 82 points!

McGrady was watching from the sidelines with his mouth wide open. This guy can really shoot more than 50 times!

…

After the official timeout, the Hawks continued to make substitutions. The focus was still on defense, and Coach Kruger asked Liu Mang to shoot more. He didn't have to worry about missing shots because his teammates were there.

Liu Mang, McGrady, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown came on the court.

This lineup is the best lineup of the Hawks in terms of physical fitness.

The Clippers still didn't give up, and the five starters continued to play.

The Clippers attacked, and Cassell advanced to the frontcourt. He was about to be unable to play, and the scene had already quieted down. After Liu Mang scored 70 points, everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Seeing Liu Mang's 82 points, Kobe had nothing to say on the sidelines.

The key is that the Hawks only led by 7 points, and there was still half a quarter left in the game!

After falling into a positional battle, Cassell passed the ball to Brand in the mid-range. Brand couldn't jump up or hit. He was 2 meters and 3 meters tall and weighed 125 kilograms. He consumed too much energy.

Brand shot against Josh Smith...

It went in!

Brand scored 39 points! He also scored 6 points in the fourth quarter.

Attack and defense changed, the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang surpassed Kobe's 80 points, and now he was relaxed. After advancing to the frontcourt, he saw Cassell and Mobley coming to double-team him. Liu Mang quickly broke through, completely attracted the defense, and passed to McGrady. McGrady rushed to the basket and scored two points.

The score difference was still 7 points!

It was the Clippers' turn to attack again. Brand lost his magic and missed the mid-range shot against the defense. Kwame Brown guarded the rebound, and Liu Mang immediately went down!

Kwame Brown threw the ball to the frontcourt

Kwame Brown's pass was simply amazing. Liu Mang rushed forward with all his might and rushed directly to the baseline. He barely caught the ball, but Maggette had already rushed back. Liu Mang made a fake shot, and Maggette immediately rushed over. Liu Mang slapped the ball and moved sideways... Maggette flew out of the baseline...

Liu Mang threw the ball to the backboard, and the ball hit the backboard and hit the backboard. He was also fouled by another Clippers player Cassell who chased back. 2+1!

Duncan's mid-range rebound shot was basically useless to Liu Mang. This time it was a tribute to Duncan.

The free throw was also made! 85 points!

The fans at the scene have begun to leave...

Liu Mang is still scoring!

He is going for 100 points!

The Clippers saw the difference of 9 points, 104 to 113, and even Brand couldn't swing. The Clippers were already desperate for victory.

When Brand missed again, several people from the Clippers clamped towards Liu Mang, not giving Liu Mang a chance to counterattack.

McGrady received the ball and quickly played a two-man team with Iguodala, who scored two points with an alley-oop dunk.

In the next few minutes, Liu Mang attacked with the ball, and the opponent double-teamed him to force Liu Mang to pass the ball. When Liu Mang counterattacked, a group of people double-teamed him. After the score difference widened to 11 points, the Clippers had lost their obsession with winning.

This was Liu Mang's shot to death in the second half!

Liu Mang alone carried the Clippers' attack!

In the next three minutes, Liu Mang didn't make a single successful shot, and only got two points from free throws, raising his score to 87 points!

The Clippers missed another shot, and the 106 points had been fixed for a long time. The Hawks were already leading by 14 points, 120 to 106.

Liu Mang didn't rush to counterattack. After McGrady grabbed the rebound, he gave the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang didn't say anything if he wanted to throw a three-pointer directly from the backcourt.

28 out of 54 shots, with such a high shot and high hit rate, Liu Mang could do anything he wanted.

But Liu Mang still didn't do that, and slowly moved forward to the frontcourt.

After passing the midline, Liu Mang was surprised that the double-team didn't come.

Cassell defended Liu Mang and retreated into the three-point line.

Liu Mang was surprised to see this opportunity. Seeing Cassell's expressionless face, Liu Mang understood, stepped outside the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer!

Cassell pretended to stretch his hand, but the jump shot didn't jump.

Liu Mang had a perfect three-point opportunity. His cold-blooded characteristic made him still very calm at this time!

The sharpshooter was triggered, and Liu Mang didn't have much time to adjust, but the opportunity was perfect. The sharpshooter made up for the rhythm problem, and Liu Mang's three-pointer shot hit!

10 of 20 three-pointers! 29 of 55 shots! 22 of 26 free throws, Liu Mang scored 90 points!

123 to 106, with 40 seconds left, the Hawks retreated to the defense, but they didn't defend. The Clippers went to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer but missed. Kaman tipped in two points.

McGrady dribbled the ball and used up the remaining time.

Liu Mang was looking for Kobe in the last few seconds, and found that Kobe's family was gone!
