Chapter 1375 1374.50+ Very Simple (I Have Made up for the Missed Update Yesterday)

After the timeout, Rondo came on the court, Liu Mang was replaced, and Rondo, Jason Terry, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown came on the court.

The Jazz replaced all the starters.

With Rondo and McGrady leading the team, the Hawks played well, and Rondo led the offense better and better. The score of the two teams was always going up slowly.

After the halftime, the Hawks led by two points with 52 to 50.

Liu Mang played for 18 minutes, 7 of 16 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 21 points.

After the third quarter, Liu Mang returned to the court, and the score of the two teams was still deadlocked. The Jazz's feeling of pulling the opponent to their rhythm and winning with rich experience of slowing down came again!

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were overtaken by the Jazz by two points with a score of 75 to 77.

Liu Mang scored 31 points in three quarters, and his performance was already very good, but he still failed to lead the team to play an advantage, and fell behind.

Although the two-point difference is not big, it gave the Jazz players great confidence.

A big problem is the schedule of the Hawks. The Hawks only scored 23 points in the third quarter and were outscored by 27 points by the Jazz. The physical fitness problem was highlighted in the third quarter. Liu Mang played the entire quarter and scored only 10 points with 3 of 10 shots. He was double-teamed and helped by too many defenses, and his teammates' shooting rate dropped. If Granger hadn't made two three-pointers when Jason Terry and McGrady couldn't make a shot, the score difference would have been pulled to more than 5 points.

…

After the break, the Hawks sent out Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Granger, and Kwame Brown.

Just one big and four small.

The Jazz, a group of young players who have just achieved results, are now excited. They may be the second team in four seasons to sweep the Hawks in the regular season after the Mavericks. In addition, their mid-season schedule is easy, and the 30-year-old Kirilenko is in his prime, so he has no physical problems at all.

The Jazz continued to send out the starting lineup, with the strongest lineup of Deron, Kirilenko, Kirilenko, Boozer, and Okur.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hawks had the ball. Liu Mang passed the ball to Rondo and ran to the frontcourt.

When Liu Mang took a big step outside the top arc, he did not run and asked Rondo for the ball.

Rondo did not ask anything, and immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang, then cut into the inside, took Deron away, and emptied the top arc space.

Kirilenko crouched down to guard against Liu Mang's accelerated breakthrough at any time. Liu Mang's explosive breakthrough outside the three-point line was as terrible as the guy in a suit with a bandage on his leg on the sidelines before he was injured!

Seeing Liu Mang leaning over and grabbing the ball with one hand, Kiricek had no idea what Liu Mang was going to do. Stick to him? The opponent would definitely accelerate and break through the moment his feet moved. Kiricek chose to wait along the three-point line.

Liu Mang adjusted his breathing, and when he felt it, he exerted force with his legs and shot a super long three-pointer...

27 feet is the distance from the top arc of the NBA court to the center of the basket, and Liu Mang is nearly six feet away from the top arc. The super long three-pointer among the super long three-pointers fell into the basket like a well-aimed cannonball!

Kiricek saw Liu Mang suddenly pull up and shoot. He had just moved his feet when he had already thrown it out.

And it went in!

The scene was getting excited!

"Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai... Si-Liu..."

The DJ on the scene shouted loudly, setting off the scene.

It's finally here!

After watching three quarters of a slow game, the fans finally saw the scene they wanted to see!

McGrady was shaking his head and smiling bitterly for this ball, it's always so incredible!

The Hawks were in a low mood before, and were pulled into the rhythm of the Jazz. Many people on the Hawks side felt uncomfortable.

But Liu Mang's earth-shattering three-pointer immediately livened up the atmosphere.

Liu Mang was relieved when he saw the ball go in. The ball was too far away, and he was not sure.

But it went in... Liu Mang had the same expression as he should have, blowing the gun and retreating.

He is just so pissy.

Not only the fans were ignited, but also the fighting spirit of the Hawks players!

78 to 77, the Hawks overtook by one point at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which greatly boosted the Hawks' fighting spirit and confidence in winning.

When the Jazz attacked, they seemed to be shocked by Liu Mang's three-pointer. Boozer received the ball and faced Liu Mang's switch defense, and his best mid-range shot missed.

It was the Hawks' turn to attack. After Liu Mang received the ball in the frontcourt, Kiricek immediately pressed up, and he couldn't let go even from a long distance.

Just like Kirilenko's well-thought-out defense idea in the previous round, Liu Mang saw Kirilenko pressing forward and took the opportunity to break through. Deron came up to double-team. Liu Mang passed the ball to Rondo, who rushed into the inside after receiving the ball. Kirilenko received the free throw line, and Rondo quickly passed the ball to McGrady. However, the Jazz's defensive rotation was very good this time, and Deron had already defended it.

After Liu Mang passed the ball, he cut into the basket and just ran around the basket to the left baseline. He saw Boozer, who was defending Marion at a 45-degree angle on the left, moving towards the bottom corner and preparing for a double team defense. Liu Mang immediately turned around and ran into the inside.

Liu Mang suddenly changed direction, and Kirilenko's brain reacted, but his body didn't obey. When he turned around, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell!

Liu Mang ran back and cut into the inside, McGrady hung the ball to the left side of the basket, and Liu Mang cut in and jumped high, and got the ball in the air!

Okur had no way to deal with this ball. Kirilek failed to block Liu Mang at all. Okur could only step away, and Liu Mang scored two points with an alley-oop slam dunk.

80 to 77, three points ahead!

In a crucial quarter of the game, Liu Mang stood up from the beginning. Relying on his personal ability and running awareness, Liu Mang scored 5 points in a row!

The Eagles finally got excited thanks to Liu Mang's super long three-pointer and a beautiful alley-oop dunk with a run-back and a run-back again!

The most exciting one is of course Liu Mang. The Jazz seemed not to have expected Liu Mang's sudden outburst. Although Liu Mang had 31 points in three quarters before, it was relatively difficult to score. Liu Mang felt good today, but his outburst in the fourth quarter was too much. It was too violent and seemed to scare them. Okur's three-pointer from the bottom corner.

When the Hawks attacked, McGrady used Rondo to break through and Liu Mang went around the baseline to attract the attention of Boozer, Deron and Kirisek who was supposed to guard Liu Mang. McGrady caught the ball from the top of the arc and made a three-pointer. Hit!

83 to 77, just over two minutes into the game, the Eagles went on an 8-0 run! 6 points difference!

The Jazz called a timeout!

But the timeout... is of no use. Although the Jazz has Boozer, one of the league's strongest scoring power forwards, who has a greater role as an inside man, there is still a gap compared with Liu Mang, who is already playing well.

After returning from the timeout, coach Kruger specifically helped Liu Mang, who was feeling hot, lay out tactics.

Liu Mang can't stop scoring!

Liu Mang made 7 of 10 shots in the final quarter and scored 22 points!

Mainly relying on Liu Mang's 5 consecutive points at the beginning of the last quarter to build up the momentum. In the next nearly 10 minutes, Liu Mang scored 17 points.

There was no way to stop them. The Jazz were accustomed to being able to steadily drive the Eagles' rhythm in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter they were suddenly defeated by Liu Mang!

The Jazz didn't want to limit Liu Mang's scoring. When they flanked Liu Mang, Rondo and McGrady made good use of their positioning problems. McGrady made a three-pointer, and Marion cut in and scored 4 points in a row. , the Jazz chose to defend normally.

Liu Mang's three-pointer at the beginning of this quarter was for this purpose, to give his teammates a chance to score. Only when his teammates made the shot did he have a better chance to score. This is a mutually reinforcing thing.

Fortunately, McGrady took a break in the third quarter and scored his first three-pointer when he came back. Liu Mang successfully achieved his goal.

This was the solution he came up with after seeing his teammates fail to make shots in the third quarter. It can be regarded as a gamble. From his long-range three-pointers to McGrady's three-pointers, they were all gambling on touch.

Throwing a goal is a reward for those who are prepared. Liu Mang's usual hard work paid off at this moment!

Relying on Liu Mang's 22-point performance in a single quarter, the Eagles scored 33 to 21 in the final quarter. After Marion returned, the Eagles' defensive efficiency greatly improved, allowing the Jazz, who was surprised by Liu Mang's score, to perform at its offensive end. Worst single quarter performance in the game.

In the end, the Eagles defeated the Jazz 108-98, a 10-point difference, avoiding a losing streak!

Liu Mang made 19 of 41 shots from the field, 8 of 20 three-pointers, and 7 of 11 free throws, scoring 53 points!

…

The first three quarters of the game made the fans sleepy, but in the fourth quarter, it seemed that they never stopped cheering for a second during the entire 23 minutes. Especially after Liu Mang scored 40 points, the fans were all cheering. Chanting "50 points".

Besides victory, the most important thing they were waiting for was Liu Mang's score!

In the end, Liu Mang succeeded, scoring 53 points in a single game, scoring 50+ points in a row, and raising his scoring average to 30.7 points per game, tying Arenas again!

In today's game, in addition to Liu Mang's performance of 53 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in a single game, others also performed well. Marion scored 21 points, and Kwame Brown had 6 points and 15 rebounds. In the first three quarters, he Obtaining 13 rebounds was the key for the Hawks to maintain the point difference. McGrady was limited by his physical crisis and only scored 9 points. He was worried about hitting the key three-pointer and also had 7 assists. 7 rebounds.

There is also a very special player...

Rajon Rondo, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and... 4 points in a single game...

With 4 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, Rondo's statistics are always eye-catching.

After the game, the double point guard duo of Liu Mang and Rondo were invited together for an interview.

Sure enough... the issue of Rondo's scoring was ridiculed again. Coach Kruger wanted to replace him with 2 of 6 free throws today. It was not as accurate as Kwame Brown's free throws.

Of course, the person the media most wants to interview is Liu Mang.

A reporter from ESPN asked: "Ace, congratulations on getting 50+ points again and winning. This is incredible. What do you want to say about yourself having 50+ points in three consecutive games?"

Liu Mang had been waiting for this for a long time and said in a nonchalant tone: "50+ is actually very simple. Just score 10 points in each of the first three quarters and 20 points in the fourth quarter."
