Chapter 1552 1551. The Hat-Brushing Maniac Who Is Not Justified but Still Has a Strong Sense of Justice

"Oh my God! What sin have I committed? A 1.85-meter-tall guy came to grab rebounds from me, and sometimes he got more rebounds than me. Now, when I play against an opponent without a strong inside line, someone comes to grab the block!"

Usually, Liu Mang blocks a lot of shots, but most of them are to defend the opponent's inside line. He is known as the "Giant Killer". The blocks from the outside are always done by Kwame Brown and McGrady. Liu Mang rarely grabs such blocks.

But this time...

Liu Mang had 3 blocks in the first quarter!

5 blocks in the first half, 7 blocks in the third quarter!

The Hawks entered the garbage time in the third quarter and led 77 to 51.

Liu Mang had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 7 blocks in the third quarter!

The block was too obvious, and it was obvious that "I just want to get blocks", which really shows what it means to be unreasonable but strong.

However, even if Butler, who was defended by Liu Mang, took the opportunity to shoot 3 three-pointers, it would not affect the situation of the game.

The Grizzlies are too weak. Although they are currently ranked 12th in the West, there are only three wins between the 12th and the last in the West. The Grizzlies currently have 20 wins and 53 losses, while the Timberwolves, who are the last in the West, currently have 17 wins and 57 losses. There is no qualitative difference.

The Grizzlies have talent, but Lowry is a late bloomer. He can only fully realize his talent when he reaches the peak of his physiology and technology at the age of 27 or 28, even if he is trained as a core player. Liu Mang has the impression that many teams have tried to use him as an outside core player, but it was not until he really reached his peak that he had the ability to be a core player.

Caron Butler and Mike Miller have no ability to attack with the ball, and Andre Brown... is just making up the numbers. Horford averaged 12+10 in his rookie season, which is not bad.

The Grizzlies are still short of a core point guard and a strong attacker from a strong team. Lowry, the small steel cannon, already has it. Horford, the inside support point and mid-range shooting point, has also shown potential in this regard, and his defense is still very good.

Wing scorers Butler and Mike Miller are also excellent.

Now the Grizzlies are just missing the core.

The five teams in the bottom five of the Western Conference, the Timberwolves, Kings, Supersonics, Grizzlies, and Clippers, have similar records except for the Clippers with 29 wins, which are far from the top pick. However, among these four teams, two or three teams are bound to be far away from the top three picks with such a poor record.

The Grizzlies, who are bullied by everyone, have no power to fight back under Liu Mang's quasi-quadruple-double performance. In the last quarter, Wade scored 11 points in a single quarter to help the Hawks beat the Grizzlies with a huge advantage of 119 to 87 and win two consecutive games.

7 blocks, Liu Mang looked at the block data of this game and felt a little relieved.

After playing against the Grizzlies, he rested for a night and faced the challenge of the Bucks the next day.

When a center meets a guard who sneaks up on him and wants to block anytime and anywhere...

Australian Duncan is so desperate that he simply doesn't shoot.

However, Liu Mang did not stop pursuing blocks. The Bucks shot well in today's game. Nocioni scored 28 points in three quarters, leading the team's cutting teammates to play well, helping the Bucks to trail the Hawks by only 7 points with a score of 74 to 81.

Wade did not play in the second back-to-back game for the Hawks, and neither did McGrady and Kwame Brown, which gave the Bucks a chance.

After Liu Mang had 7 blocks in the first three quarters, Liu Mang and Rondo, Jason Terry, Grant Hill, and Marion started a crazy attack in the fourth quarter.

Although the Bucks are currently ranked tenth in the East, the tenth in the East and the tenth in the West... are completely different concepts.

In the end, relying on Liu Mang's data of 30 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 8 blocks, and 4 turnovers, the Hawks defeated the Bucks 107 to 100 and won the home back-to-back victory.

The Hawks' record has improved to 64 wins and 11 losses. There are still 7 games left this month. If they play well, they may get 70 wins. Of course, this is not particularly important. For Liu Mang, whether he wins 70 or not is far less important than his number of blocks.

If no one noticed Liu Mang's block in the first game, it was too obvious in the game against the Bucks. He was specifically targeting blocks.

Because Liu Mang missed too many people, it felt like he deliberately let the opponent in and chased after the block.

Indeed, Liu Mang got two blocks in each quarter, but the opponent scored more times. The opponent knew that he was blocking in the second quarter and took advantage of this. Although Liu Mang blocked several shots, the Bucks played better in the cut-in style, and Bogut's high-post assist was really good.

Liu Mang's current idea is to block as much as possible when playing against weak teams!

In ancient times, there were scorers and rebounders. There are also many in the league today, and there will be triple-doubles in the future.

But Liu Mang is the only one who blocks shots, and guards block shots... After the first game, no one could tell, after all, Liu Mang had 10+ blocks in a single game. In the second game... Everyone could tell.

Hawks fans... Anyway, they won, and Liu Mang's stats were good. If it wasn't for the fourth quarter, when the Bucks had built up their feel and confidence in the first three quarters and played very well, Liu Mang only got one block in the fourth quarter with normal defense and had to ensure offensive and defensive efficiency, Liu Mang might have gotten a triple-double.

Anyway, winning is good, and Liu Mang's stats are good.

Coach Kruger didn't know why Liu Mang blocked shots.

As for what I said about whoever doesn’t play well, he will be hidden... If it were anyone else, Coach Kruger would definitely use it to establish his authority, even if it was Tracy McGrady, but if it was Liu Mang...

Just say something and listen to it. The world is not that fair.

…

"Is that guy trying to steal third place in the shot-blocking list?"

Watching the sports news host making fun of Liu Mang for blocking shots, Garnett didn't expect someone to grab the third place in the blocking list!

After Liu Mang had 7 blocks in one game and 8 blocks in one game, his average blocks per game increased by 0.13, from 2.72 per game to 2.85, which just exceeded Garnett's average of 2.83 blocks per game!

If it were someone else, Garnett wouldn't care about the block list. During the Timberwolves period, he often had four or five blocks in a single game, but he also often had 0 blocks. From a defensive perspective, Garnett had nothing to be ashamed of. Where he is, he is one of the players with the best overall defensive strength and defensive effectiveness in the league after Olajuwon.

Garnett never gives in from a financial perspective, but he has always been good at sacrificing in terms of statistics. With Cassell, he no longer holds the ball, and with Sprewell, he reduces mid-range shots. , in the original time and space, he went to the Celtics to form the Big Three, and gave up a lot of points and rebounds, from averaging 22+13+4 per game to 18+9+3. Of course, the premise is that the money is enough.

Garnett doesn't care about others, but if Liu Mang wants to grab third place in the blocks list...

Garnett decided to grab it!

…

…

On April 4, the day of the NCAA finals, the NBA did not schedule a game to make way for the NCAA.

This NCAA final is also the first time that Chaoting TV broadcasts an NCAA game live. It has been broadcast before, but it only broadcast some videos in the morning. The NCAA is not like the NBA. Their games are not necessarily all at night. They often play in the afternoon, and they even have BJs. The NCAA game starts at 11 p.m.

But this time, because the Imperial TV station was to be broadcast, the NCAA was quite accommodating to the Imperial TV station in arranging the final time. At 7 p.m. Los Angeles time, the University of Phoenix Stadium, also known as the Phoenix Arena, the largest stadium in the United States with 70,000 seats, The basketball gym has started.

The two teams facing each other are UCLA and Kansas.

UCLA defeated the favorite University of Memphis in the semi-finals. In college... neither Russell Westbrook nor Derrick Rose can compete with Darren Collison. UCLA has one more player. Yi Jianlian, who was a lottery pick in the NBA draft, was already extremely powerful, but they defeated the University of Memphis and reached the finals.

On the other side, the University of Kansas has Mario Chalmers, who is known as the strongest player in the NCAA. Now a junior, Chalmers has won the All-American First Team, the Big 12 First Team, the All-American Defensive First Team, and the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year... countless honors are piled on Chalmers.

During the match between the two teams, Liu Mang, Xiao Loli and the two cubs were watching the game together. The two cubs didn't know whether they understood what a good game was, but Liu Mang and Little Loli watched it very enthusiastically.

There is no so-called star whistle, no unlimited player singles, but the game is great to watch!

The discipline of tactics, the characteristics of each player...

Their strength may not be very good, even Chalmers and Collison, Liu Mang thought, were average, but in a game where the team came first, their performance was very impressive.

Defense wins championships. This is true. It also applies in the NCAA. The UCLA back line defense is too invincible. The starters are Darren Collison and Russell Westbrook. The substitute defense seems to be better, but once Jrue Holiday, who can only play as a substitute in his grade...

When UCLA sent out the outside combination of Collison, Westbrook, and Holiday in the second half, the University of Kansas was driven crazy...

72 to 59, UCLA defeated the University of Kansas and won the 2008 NCAA championship!

Darren Collison wins Final Four MOP!

Liu Mang is very excited to watch the NCAA finals in early April every year. It is really interesting and has a different charm from the NBA.

The ratings are also very high, not losing to the finals where the most popular teams in the NBA compete.

The exaggerated broadcast fees of the NCAA once made Liu Mang speechless, but after watching the live broadcast of the NCAA finals for the first time, Liu Mang understood that it is so attractive.

…

After the NCAA finals, the NBA regular season continues to resume.

On the 5th, they played the 76ers at home, and the Eagles lost 101-103.

The 76ers played really well after the All-Star Weekend. After defeating the Hawks, the 76ers' record improved to 34 wins and 42 losses, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference, knocking the Nets out of the top eight.

This is inseparable from the fact that the 76ers acquired Mike Bibby from the Kings before the trade deadline. The Kings have been working hard to find a deal in order to get rid of Mike Bibby's big contract. Finally, after Mike Bibby's big contract We sent him out in his final year.

After having Mike Bibby, before playing the Hawks, the 76ers won 12 of the past 22 games and had a record of 12 wins and 10 losses, going from eleventh in the Eastern Conference to eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Liu Mang only got 3 blocks in this game. The game was unexpectedly difficult to win. In the end, he was defeated by Mike Bibby!

The 76ers' mid-season trade was very targeted. Mike Bibby and Thaddeus Young joined the team. Last summer, they also dug up Thunder Evans from the Supersonics. They originally had high-quality role players such as Andre Miller, Childress, Willie Green, and Louis Williams. With Mike Bibby as the core, they played really well.

Especially the 76ers are now at a critical moment in the playoffs. The strength they burst out has overturned the Hawks.

Basketball is round, and anything can happen. The Hawks can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

But it doesn't matter. Instead, it rings a bell for the Hawks. The playoffs... are really coming! No opponent can be underestimated. The situation where the Mavericks were overthrown by the Warriors is still vivid!

But... losing is not the most painful thing for Liu Mang. The most painful thing is that Garnett responded!

On the night when the Hawks lost to the 76ers, the Bulls also had a game. The Bulls challenged the Bobcats away.

Boss Joe personally watched the game, so something big must happen.

As expected, something big happened. Garnett played 44 minutes, got 15 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and... 8 blocks! Helped the Bulls beat the Bobcats 94-88!
