Chapter 1052 1051. Where Is Justice?

After Liu Mang scored 82 points, most of the fans at the scene had left. By the end of the game, except for some die-hard Clippers fans who got tickets, and a very small number of Chinese fans and Liu Mang's fans, there were not many people left. There were only about 6,000 to 7,000 people left at the scene.

Before the start of the season, Clippers fans never thought that their team could rise. They didn't fight with Lakers fans for tickets to the game against the Hawks. Lakers fans were just waiting for Liu Mang to come to Los Angeles twice a year so that they could boo him. So although it was the Clippers' home game, there were only about 5,000 Clippers fans at the scene.

But the remaining ones were all defeated by Liu Mang!

Even Clippers fans were defeated by Liu Mang!

Being able to witness 90 points in a single game with their own eyes, even opponents were convinced!

Moreover, Kobe scored 80 points yesterday, which has prepared the Clippers fans mentally. And because Liu Mang scored higher than Kobe, the Clippers fans who were thicker-skinned said loudly during the post-match interview: "It's just that our defense is too bad. Kobe is like that. He only scored 80 points. Ace is the normal level!"

Brand was also convinced by Liu Mang, and came with Cassell and Maggette to hug and greet Liu Mang.

The Clippers played more purely from the second half of this game. From psychology to behavior, they worked hard to win. There was nothing they could do if they lost.

"Ace, congratulations, I saw a perfect performance. I think the best player in the world is probably you. Come on, beat the Lakers!" Brand and Liu Mang hugged.

"Ace, congratulations." Maggette, whose arms were thicker than Liu Mang's legs, also came to hug.

"Thank you." Liu Mang didn't expect the three core players of the Clippers to come back and congratulate him.

Cassell was the last to come up and hugged Liu Mang.

"Sam, I'm curious, why didn't you defend me in the last ball? If you defended me, I would definitely not have a chance to shoot." Liu Mang was very concerned about this question.

Of course, being able to make a shot is his own ability. An open shot, or the kind of open shot that Alexander can score 90 points, may not be made by someone else.

Let alone such great pressure, even an open three-pointer alone can't be made every time. After experiencing a lot of confrontation in the game, those who can have a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% are all top shooters.

"Anyway, you have scored 87 points, 3 more points is nothing, and 10 more than Kobe! I've been annoyed with him for a long time." Cassell expressed the Clippers' thoughts.

In Liu Mang's last shot, the Clippers tacitly did not come up to double-team. Anyway, the game was lost, and Liu Mang still scored so many points, so they simply let Liu Mang surpass Kobe a little more.

Watching Cassell leave after hugging, Liu Mang felt something different.

Some players are so pure, Brand is one of them. The last time I saw such a pure player was Nowitzki.

Others, not too much.

But Cassell is a little different from other Clippers players, so direct.

Cassell can't stand Kobe's life of luxury and comfort, growing up in Europe, becoming the best high school student in Pennsylvania when he returned to the United States, being selected and traded to the Lakers at the age of 17, and starting in the second-year All-Star Game... everything is too jealous.

Appearance is sometimes a problem. Cassell has been disliked since he was a child, which makes him more jealous of people like Kobe.

Of course, Cassell is jealous of many people, so no matter which team he joins, he ends up parting ways unhappily, and his relationship with his teammates is average.

But... Cassell is strong! He helps the team reach the peak wherever he goes, including the Rockets, Timberwolves, Clippers... It's the same.

The three core players of the Clippers were chatting as they walked to the home team's player tunnel.

"Elton, we are tenth in the West." Maggette said depressedly.

The West is like this, lose one game, sixth to eighth, lose two games, sixth directly to tenth.

"Haha, it's okay, we will definitely make the playoffs!"

After Brand was traded to the Clippers, his dream was to help the Clippers make the playoffs, so he sincerely congratulated Liu Mang, because the goals they pursued were very different. Brand was called the captain not only because of his strength, but also because he really loved this team. In the summer of 2003, the Heat invited him to play in Miami with a 5-year, 85 million offer, and he chose to stay with the team for 5 years and 80 million. Otherwise, the Heat might have been able to make a combination of Wade, Brand, and O'Neal.

Bill Duffy and Brand have always had a pleasant cooperation, and they are loyal to their character.

Brand dedicated his entire peak period to the Clippers until... he was injured in the 2007-2008 season and the Clippers did not renew his contract after returning.

From beginning to end, no matter how bad the Clippers were, Brand always stayed until he was abandoned.

…

Liu Mang waved to the fans at the scene and asked Little Lolita and Levia to take his father to the VIP lounge to wait for him. Alexia had already told them to wait for a while until the fans had mostly left and they would go back to the villa after his interview and physical therapy.

At the press conference after the game, Liu Mang was asked about his feelings about getting 90 points.

Liu Mang said with a very casual look: "This is a very simple thing! Just throw the ball and it goes in. Others don't know, Kobe should understand this feeling. But 80 points is too boring, and I Kobe can get it casually, I’ll just get 90 points, it’ll be a little bit different from Kobe.”

Coach Kruger rolled his eyes on the sidelines. Who keeps shooting before the game to find the touch?

Who made a lot of promises to his teammates, saying that he would help his teammates pass the ball and score in the future?

"Ace, you already scored 82 points when you played 43 minutes. Based on your performance of 16 points in the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, it seems that if you have a chance to score 100 points in the last five minutes, you will try. One hundred points beyond Chamberlain? "ESPN reporters still want Liu Mang to cause trouble.

Today’s ratings are so explosive! Even if it is broadcast live on the three major TV stations, almost every TV station has reached the highest ratings for a single game this season.

"Uh... to be honest, I'm not very interested in scoring. It's just that my girlfriend, my parents, and my kids came to Los Angeles just to see me in such a great arena like the Staples Center. During the game, the Clippers made me spend 120,000 yuan to buy tickets, and they didn’t give me tickets, so I was a little angry. If it’s 100 points... leave it to Kobe, I’m not interested.”

Coach Kruger said: Keep pretending! If the opponent hadn't double-teamed you endlessly for more than three minutes, wouldn't you have wanted to score 100 points?

The questions that followed were similar, and Liu Mang's answers were similar, madly criticizing Kobe and putting pressure on Kobe.

…

However, Liu Mang said that he did not want to get 100 points. He said this and looked very confident that he could get 100 points.

But I really don’t want to do it again.

55 shots, not physically tired, but mentally tired!

The feeling of forcing oneself to shoot in order to shoot, and counting the number of points scored by oneself, loses the fun that basketball should have.

And because of his willfulness, the team almost lost the game accidentally. If it weren't for Liu Mang's good touch today, taking such a large number of shots, and his three-point shooting rate reached 50%, the team would have lost long ago. .

Liu Mang felt like he was almost losing! Especially at the end of the third quarter, it felt like we were really going to lose.

The Clippers were widened instead of narrowing the point difference halfway through the third quarter. Their confidence began to collapse, their willpower could no longer support them, and their physical strength collapsed. They only scored 4 points in the last few minutes and less than 20 points in the fourth quarter. It collapsed and the Eagles took the game.

Liu Mang felt that if he made even one less three-pointer and was tied by the opponent, the Clippers would gain greater momentum.

Or in the fourth quarter, Iguodala and Josh Smith's combined nine offensive rebounds in a single quarter were one or two less, and the Hawks were finished.

Liu Mang clearly understood the bad impact that his scoring increase had on the team. The other players were all cold. The Clippers could double-team at will and others could shrink the basket. The Eagles could only rely on rushing for rebounds and Liu Mang's shooting. Score a shot.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang felt incredible about Kobe's original 81 points!

Liu Mang scored 90 points, simply taking advantage of the team's advantage. The Eagles played well. Even if the Clippers performed exceptionally, the Eagles would not be so tired. Even if they were anxious, it was relatively easy to be anxious and compete for stars.

But Liu Mang himself took advantage of the team's three outside stars.

When Kobe Bryant played against the Raptors, the Lakers did not have much of an advantage in the original time and space. Instead, the Lakers fell behind by nearly 20 points at halftime. Kobe only scored 26 points in the first half, but reversed with 55 points in the second half. Liu Mang and Liu Mang were ready at the beginning. It's very different to score 81 points.

Of course, this is a matter of style of play. From the moment Kobe became the starter, even with O'Neal in the team, he always played with the ball.

On Liu Mang's side, after having Tracy McGrady, he showed his strength better, combining both with and without the ball. This time, he kept hitting hard with the ball, which was very harmful to the team. Of course, Liu Mang was even more powerful and won Scored 90 points.

It's just that Liu Mang doesn't have the feeling of driving his teammates with high scores. In terms of driving his teammates with high scores, Liu Mang feels that he is not as good as Kobe.

After all, Liu Mang feels that his shooting percentage is still much higher than Kobe.

Liu Mang is not a pure brush like Devin Booker in the future. Liu Mang has no interest in scoring 100 points for the time being. He may have the opportunity one day, but he insists on getting it like this and almost loses. Liu Mang doesn’t want to do it again. Once.

…

On the other side, Kobe received the same treatment as Liu Mang last night, and was surrounded by the media.

This time it was Kobe's turn to get angry: "That bastard already scored 90 points, what do you want me to say?"

…

When the Eagles players were interviewed, Jason Terry said that this was too normal. Others had similar answers to Jason Terry, saying that they knew from the beginning that Liu Mang could score as many points as he wanted.

When McGrady saw his 7-point score in an interview, he said: "It's an honor to score 97 points with Ace, which coincides with my selection in 1997."

…

When Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi were asked who scored better, Liu Mang or Kobe, they were so embarrassed that they could only play casually.

Liu Mang is a teammate of the national team and an old friend, and Kobe is a teammate of his own club. We are fighting in the world together. It’s not good for anyone!

…

…

"Uncle is so awesome!" Little Loli had stars in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, my voice is hoarse. Go back and take some medicine, drink some water, and have a good rest." Liu Mang pinched the little Loli's face and told her to stop talking.

The little loli cheered the whole day today, and her voice has long been hoarse.

Looking at the parents who were already asleep in the car, and thinking about Levia and Alexia who were looked after by bodyguards in the other car, they were probably very tired, but they still had to take care of two children, Liu Mang I feel bad that tonight’s interview was too long.

First there was a shower, a press conference, and then physical therapy. After the physical therapy, I accepted an exclusive interview with Imperial TV, an exclusive interview with ESPN, and a phone interview with Sports Illustrated, T.N.T, and Time Magazine. The game was over at 10:30, and it was not completely over until 1 o'clock. Follow-up to tonight's game.

The little Loli leaned into Liu Mang's arms, and Liu Mang held the little Loli in his arms. The little Loli quickly fell asleep.

But Liu Mang was still very excited. Although he didn’t want to do it again, he still scored 90 points!

Time Magazine asked Schwartz for a phone interview. Liu Mang became famous this time!

Staples Center is more than 40 minutes' drive from Liu Mang's villa. Liu Mang couldn't sleep and opened the system panel.

A lot of system prompts popped up.

"In this game, the host scored 90 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, winning the game and receiving a regular reward of 4873 superstar points."

"Congratulations to the host for scoring 80 points in a single game, completing the first 80-point achievement in a single game. The reward is 50,000 superstar points."

"Congratulations to the host for scoring 90 points in a single game, completing the first 90-point achievement in a single game. The reward is 100,000 superstar points."

"Because the host scored 90 points in a single game, his popularity soared and reached a new stage. It is expected that he will receive 10,000,000 rogue points."

"Because the host scored 90 points in a single game..."

"..."

"..."

"The initial mission of the God Eater epic series of missions has been completed. Congratulations to the host for receiving the Kobe Bryant 2005-2006 special edition star card. (Note: This special edition star card is valid for the entire game.)"

With 154,873 superstar points, it may have up to 10 million rogue points... and it's still 90 points that will be mentioned all the time!

There is also Kobe’s star card!

550,000 superstars are worth it, and the distance is 1 million...

Liu Mang hugged the little Loli and felt so happy today!

…

…

By the next morning, Liu Mang said goodbye to his family and headed to Sacramento, where the Eagles' regular season continued.

We will play the Kings on the 12th, the Warriors on the 14th, the Portland Trail Blazers on the 16th, and we will return home to play the Wizards back to back on the 17th.

The 90-point game had already ended. Coach Kruger held a small meeting on the plane and asked the players to stop focusing on the 90-point matter and not to affect the subsequent games.

After the small meeting, a group of teammates who helped rebound, pass the ball, and open up space surrounded Liu Mang in his position.

"What are you doing? I'm the boss!" Liu Mang saw the unkind eyes of a group of people and subconsciously tightened his clothes.

"As promised, pass the ball to me in the next game!" Jason Terry said arrogantly.

"Then it's my turn to play against the Warriors." Kwame Brown looked at Liu Mang with eager eyes.

"And me, I want to get a double-double. Boss Ace, let's pick and roll. I don't want you to pass. You just shoot and I grab the rebound..." Josh Smith is still very confident in his offensive rebounds.

"I want it too. Just 20 points is enough for me. Boss Ace, I will help you with your backpack every day!"

"Boss, I want to score in double figures..."

"Ace, I... let me score more points when we play against the Lakers. Watching Kobe with 80 points makes me so unhappy..." McGrady didn't mean that at first, but his teammates were so active, so he should join in the fun. Otherwise, you will appear unsociable.

Horry and Barry, two veterans, watched a group of young people having fun and felt that time was not forgiving!

They haven't played much this season. They can occasionally play in garbage time, and they don't have any complaints. They are veterans who come to hold the line. They play when they have the chance. If they don't, they just watch the youngsters play, give them guidance, and get paid. Beautiful.

"Pass! Can't I pass the ball?" Liu Mang said depressedly, "I'll help you score. Do you mean I can help you? You have to train hard to make the ball!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

…

The Eagles have won 18 consecutive games, their confidence is fully established, and they are enjoying a happy consecutive road trip.

The Eagles have turned over an old chapter and started a new schedule, but Liu Mang's 90-point score has just begun to make a splash in the world of basketball circles.

After Liu Mang scored 90 points, his scoring average increased a lot.

He played 17 games before, averaging 30.7 points per game, a very stable 20-plus to 30-plus points per game, not too low, and not too explosive. Before the game against the Clippers, Liu Mang had only scored 40 points twice. One of them had 50 points. Compared with last season when he scored soaring points even if he just disagreed, this season Liu Mang had many games with over 20 points.

But after 90 points, Liu Mang's scoring average suddenly soared to 34 points per game.

However, it is still only ranked second. After Kobe's 80 points, he has averaged 35.9 points per game.

Kobe's playing style is also strange. Obviously with Yao Ming, Yao Ming has improved compared to last season, and his statistics have also improved, but Kobe's scoring can actually improve, and it is very stable!

The media has analyzed that Kobe's style of play is to use the strength of his strong teammates to exert his own strength, and at the same time, he can also drive his teammates. Everything does not revolve around him, and he does not have to rely on his strength to help his teammates score, but complement each other. .

However, Kobe, who averaged 35.9 points per game, has now been robbed of the limelight.

There was a 70-point score before Liu Mang scored 90, so Kobe's 80 points did not seem as far away as the original time and space. People felt that Liu Mang definitely had a chance.

But I didn't expect Liu Mang to directly reach 90 points!

The difference between 70 points and 80 points seems relatively small, but from 80 points to 90 points, although the difference is only 10 points, it gives people a completely different feeling.

Liu Mang asked Kobe to score 100 points at the post-game press conference, and the pressure was all on Kobe's side.

Kobe became even more depressed when he watched the news!

After a day of hard work and pride, just 24 hours later, his 80 points became Liu Mang's background.

"100 points, why don't you die! Damn you bastard!" Kobe ran to the toilet and roared...

…

Of course, the media focuses on Liu Mang's 90 points, but public opinion among fans is polarized.

Some fans are dissatisfied, and some fans are flattering.

Unconvinced fans put forward this argument: "Liu has been brushing up data from the beginning of the game. The Hawks are so much better than the Clippers and almost lost. This is all because Liu is brushing up data. He is a scoring brush." That’s all.”

The touting fans responded directly: "You have to have the ability to brush. Let your star give it a try? The requirements are not high. Except for Kobe, if other stars brush for 70 points once, I will kneel down and call daddy!"

Jordan is often said to be tied with one championship and surpassed with two championships, let alone Liu Mang.

With a score of 90 points, I still hate him if I should hate him.

Anyway, it’s noisy!

Of course, Liu Mang also gained a lot of fans from passers-by, just like Kobe did after he scored 80 points.

The two are currently the hottest stars.

Some criticized the way the Eagles played today, while others praised the unity of the Eagles players.

Some people attacked the Clippers for letting their last defense go, some praised the Clippers for being willing to be adults, and some speculated that the Clippers' last shot was just to upset Kobe.

Some praised the Hawks' 18-game winning streak, but the "championship winning streak" the Hawks won this time was not discussed as much as whether Kobe or Liu Mang had a chance to score 100 points.

Kobe scored 80 points and didn't play for more than three minutes.

But everyone has a unanimous view, that is, Clippers owner Sterling wants to die!

It has been exposed by the media that Sterling not only refused to give tickets to the game, but also contacted Liu Mang's agent at noon on the day when the Clippers played the Hawks and said he would not give them, even though he had already agreed to give them. Liu Mang bought the game tickets and directly gave him a price of US$120,000, asking Liu Mang to pay for it himself.

Hence Liu Mang's crazy outburst of Nao's 90 points and 6 rebounds.

…

On the afternoon of December 11, the Clippers' training facility was a small training facility with no fan area, no separate interview area, only two courts, a conference room, two offices, a locker room and a rest area.

In the president's office, Donald Sterling was listening to the secretary's report.

"Boss, the tickets are divided into more than 2.3 million yuan, the additional advertising fees for this game are 2.4 million yuan, and the merchandise sales are divided into more than 800,000 yuan..." The secretary reported to Donald Sterling the income from yesterday's game.

"I understand. Each member of the team will receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan. Please arrange it."

"Thank you, boss. Do you have any other instructions?"

"No, go ahead."

The secretary rolled his eyes when he turned around. He made more than 5 million, and each person received a bonus of $1,000? I can’t dig you to death!

After the secretary left, Sterling looked at the news in the newspaper, all of which were mocking him.

Sterling smiled and said to himself: "You all think I'm stupid? I earn more than 5 million in a regular season. Can the Knicks and Lakers do it? Only money is everything."

However, Sterling also saw the benefits of improving the record, and spent tens of thousands more to bring in Cassell, Mobley and others. The Clippers now have playoff strength, and the Clippers' ticket prices have become higher. Although it seems that there is not much increase in net profit during the regular season, with the opportunity for the playoffs, you will have the opportunity to sell tickets for the playoffs. That is pure profit without paying player salaries!

Sterling is now willing to spend some money...

…

Fans are arguing endlessly, and the media is also issuing headline-like news to attract attention and increase website traffic and newspaper sales.

However, over and over again, in the words of some fans, Liu Mang is a real "data brush".

But... there is always a clear stream among fans who don't like to argue about data.

Some fans posted on the forum and posted about Liu Mang's breakthrough singles with his dreamy footsteps.

"I was skeptical before when Ace said that Kobe stole his low-post skills from him. It seemed like Ace was stealing from Kobe. But after seeing this step, I think what Ace said might be true."

Not just this picture, the fans who commented on the post commented on Liu Mang's several low-post singles in the second quarter. His movements were the same as Kobe's... In other words, Kobe's low-post singles had the same movements as Liu Mang's...

This strange point of view has become popular...

"I firmly believe that Ace is not talking nonsense. Can Kobe do this kind of pace?"

"This move is Olajuwon's footwork, which requires strong basic skills to complete. Seeing how skilled Ace's moves are, he must have practiced for a long time, but he was not so strong before. Now Ace is strong and uses it more in high and low post singles. I don't think Ace is talking nonsense."

"Enough of you above! You lie with your eyes open... It must be Kobe who learned from Ace! Maybe when Ace was learning low post from Olajuwon, Kobe saw it secretly. I heard that Kobe and Ace trained together in the summer, and later Ace also participated in Olajuwon's training camp. Kobe must have learned it secretly at that time!"

"..."

"..."

The editor of ESPN also made trouble. Seeing that this view was popular, he moved it to the basketball program on Monday. Kobe was going crazy when he saw this program!

"It's unfair!

Where is the justice in the hearts of the people?

God is blind!"
