Chapter 1097 1096. Named After the Son, the Top

Liu Mang stood up holding Iguodala's hand and rubbed his injured left arm. It hurt a little, but it was not a big problem. It was just a hard injury. The system did not prompt that he was injured.

The referee was watching the replay at this time. Was this a foul or a shooting foul? Liu Mang and Carter were too fast just now. If Carter had thrown the ball before passing Liu Mang, Carter's ball would have been a foul, and the Nets would have been in trouble. Liu Mang scored a free throw and the Hawks still had the ball.

In addition, Carter's action of pushing Liu Mang to the ground was also very dangerous, and there was a possibility of being fouled.

Three choices, for Carter, the best situation is still to be beaten by the opponent 3+1.

Liu Mang waited for the referee to watch the replay and stretched out his hand for the team vice president Moron Willie who ran up to check. At this time, another system prompt came.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for becoming the first player in NBA history to surpass the top three-point shooter. Since the host, there has never been a player in NBA history who has surpassed the 94 three-point ability rating, and there has never been a three-point shooter who is better than the top three-point shooter. The super top three-point shooter will be named by the host. Please specify the title."

Self-chosen title?

What does this mean?

Liu Mang saw the little loli cheering on the sidelines and his father who stood up, and then looked at the box of the stadium. He didn't know what this title meant, and answered casually in his heart: "Let's call him Liu Ritian, a three-point shooter at the level of Ritian."

"Ding... The host will name the star who broke through the 95 three-point ability rating Liu Ritian. Congratulations to the host for the new title: Liu Ritian."

Liu Mang didn't know what this meant. Just when Liu Mang confirmed the name of the super top three-point shooter, the commentator Bill Walton of the court TV and Time Warner, who broadcast the game live, looked at the replay of Liu Mang's four three-pointers just now and began to exclaim involuntarily.

"Fuck the sky! Ace is fucking the sky! Liu is fucking the sky! Ace's three-pointer has broken through the sky!" Yang Yi, the commentator of the Chaoting TV station who was commentating the game with Su Qun, shouted loudly.

"Fakoskai! God! Is Liu's three-pointer going to break through the sky?" Bill Walton also shouted.

The name of "Fuck the sky" was born!

The referee finally gave Carter face and did not call a foul or a flagrant foul. It was just in an ambiguous situation that the referee gave Carter face.

However, ordinary fouls are still inevitable.

Liu Mang's 3+1!

When he stepped onto the free throw line, the scene rang out "MVP" again.

Liu Mang has scored 15 points in a row!

Liu Mang also made the free throw!

Scored 16 points in a row!

16 points in five and a half minutes. The Hawks only scored once in the first three attacks. The fans at the scene felt a little collapsed at the time. They didn't expect the ups and downs in popularity to be so exciting. Liu Mang scored 14 points in more than three minutes!

Four three-pointers, two of which were three plus one!

The Nets called a timeout!

16 to 10, the Hawks are already leading by 6 points!

"Ahaha... snap... oh... haha..."

When Liu Mang returned to the bench, McGrady came up in a suit, with an indescribable expression on his face. He was surprised, happy, but helpless, and wanted to laugh, but was stopped by the facial muscles that were a little sluggish due to the surprise. He didn't know what to say, so he could only pat his face to recover from the shock and high-five Liu Mang.

Even his teammates felt powerless against Liu Mang's three-pointer, especially McGrady, an excellent three-point shooter with a three-point shooting ability close to the top. It felt too exaggerated!

The Hawks celebrated, and Coach Kruger began to make substitutions to arrange tactics for Liu Mang.

It was not a three-point tactic, but a tactic to use Liu Mang's three-point threat to pass the ball to others.

Coach Kruger was making substitutions, and Liu Mang was sitting on the bench receiving a shoulder massage from Moron Willie to relax the muscles of his left arm and shoulder that Liu Mang had just fallen.

Liu Mang was recalling the feeling just now. With those few shots, Liu Mang felt like he was back to the time when he first entered the NBA and used Thompson's star card.

At this time, Liu Mang understood why no matter how he practiced, no matter how accurate he was in training, sometimes he could make more than 90 shots out of 100 shots in a row, and he could complete the training task of 100 points of superstar value almost every time he trained, and he could occasionally complete the training task of 1000 points of superstar value, but he just couldn't break through to 95.

Now Liu Mang understood that it was not the difference between the accuracy and the shooting accuracy of Klay Thompson, which Liu Mang used the Splash Brothers version of 95 three-point ability to evaluate at that time. With Liu Mang's shooting performance, Klay Thompson might not be able to match it.

It's mainly about mentality!

Liu Mang lacked the fearless mentality at the beginning. Before winning the first championship, Liu Mang always had a fearless mentality of impacting everything, but after winning a championship, he began to seek stability.

Also, with McGrady as a teammate, Liu Mang played very easily and tried to seek stability. He only waved at critical moments, and most of the time he didn't need to wave.

But recently, the Hawks' schedule has reached the most brutal one since Liu Mang's first championship year. The Hawks began to rest, and Liu Mang felt the pressure of losing again.

This kind of pressure is not the same as last season when they lost 14 games. Last season, there was no pressure to win 70 or 72 games. But this season, the Hawks have already won 26 games in a row. How can they not think about 72 wins? Although they didn't say it, Liu Mang has been thinking about it.

Liu Mang's mentality of being able to shoot recklessly disappeared, but this time, after being stimulated by Carter's two consecutive three-pointers, Liu Mang was happy and that feeling was back!

Just like Stephen Curry, who was suppressed by Monta Ellis at the beginning of his career, and then suffered injuries continuously, and was called a glass man, Curry at that time had nothing to worry about, because it was the worst time, and there was no lower limit to fall, so he was fearless, just took the ball and did it, and there was nothing to lose.

Then, Curry, who may have the strongest three-point talent in history, succeeded with that style of play. When Steve Kerr was coaching, Curry's fearless mentality was strengthened, and finally he became a Curry like the sun.

Curry's career trajectory cannot be copied, and Liu Mang's career trajectory cannot be copied either.

Similarly, Liu Mang also started to be sun-like!

...

Both teams made personnel adjustments.

The Hawks replaced Horry and Prince with Liu Mang, Iguodala, Korver, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown to enhance the impact and add a three-point shooter.

On the Nets side, Ratliff ran back and forth several times in vain, wasting his energy and was replaced to rest.

The Nets sent out Kidd, Carter, Al Harrington, Clifford Robinson, and Kostic.

The reason why the Nets gave up the right to renew the contract with Radmanovich's parent team in the summer was to sign a 3-year, 21 million contract with Al Harrington to make room, but they didn't expect that this guy could only play as the sixth man. If there is no ball on the offensive end, he has no other role except being a fixed-point shooter, and he is not good at running and picking and rolling.

However, Al Harrington is really good at playing as the sixth man, averaging 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. He is an all-around forward swingman who can control the ball, pass, shoot, and break through, and can play from small forward to center.

After the timeout, the Nets attacked.

During the timeout, the Nets players did not make tactical adjustments, because it was not a tactical problem at all. Liu Mang's few balls were not their defensive problems at all. They were more adjusting their mentality. They were a little confused by Liu Mang's previous beating.

Carter received a pass from Kidd after arriving in the frontcourt. At this time, Clifford Robinson took Josh Smith to the bottom corner, Kwame Brown defended Kostic, who had a certain mid-range shooting ability, Harrington and Kidd both had three-point shooting ability, and Carter faced Iguodala singles!

Although Carter was shocked by Liu Mang's three-pointer, he was more excited. He clearly felt that Liu Mang was soaring because of his two three-pointers.

This time Iguodala did not go around, and Carter continued to play singles after receiving the ball.

Carter faced Iguodala's change of direction breakthrough. After Iguodala took a half step back, Carter stepped back half a step and back out of the three-point line again. Although he did not shake off such a large space with Liu Mang's exaggerated step-back action, it was still enough. Carter took a three-pointer before Iguodala made up for it!

Also hit!

Not only Liu Mang, Carter also had a hot hand today and scored 11 points!

Iguodala is much more mobile than Prince on the court, but he can't be defended alone.

But Prince also needs a rest. When Liu Mang received the serve, he said a few words to Iguodala, and then received the ball and pushed forward to the front court, scoring the offense first, and the score difference returned to 3 points.

When Liu Mang pushed through half court, Kidd had already come up. Liu Mang leaned on Kidd with his right shoulder to the left side of the top arc. Harrington, who was defending Josh Smith's cut from the left mid-range, immediately double-teamed Liu Mang, not letting go of both hands.

Liu Mang hung the ball with his left hand, Josh Smith received the ball and sprinted to the basket quickly, Kostic defended to the left side of the three-second zone, Josh Smith hung under the basket, Kwame Brown's time to eat the cake came, and he jumped high and pressed the ball into the basket with both hands!

18 to 13, the Hawks still maintained a 5-point lead.

When the Nets attacked, Carter went to the frontcourt and continued to ask for the ball. Carter had a good touch, and Kidd did not hold the ball and continued to pass it to Carter.

However, when Carter received the ball and prepared to play one-on-one, he found that Iguodala was not defending him, but Liu Mang was defending him.

Liu Mang and Iguodala were waiting inside the three-point line. When Kidd pushed forward and passed the ball to Carter, Liu Mang immediately stuck to him.

Seeing that it was Liu Mang, Carter was even more excited. He had already made three three-pointers. If he made another one, he would be tied with Liu Mang!

Carter began to look for three-point opportunities, but he found that Liu Mang's defense had become stronger again! And it was a visible improvement, stronger than when he met Liu Mang eight or nine days ago!
