Chapter 620 Influence of 619.60+
If it is said that he was second in scoring before and could get 50+ in his rookie season before, Liu Mang has already made people feel crazy.
This time Liu Mang made 23 of 42 shots, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 12 of 14 free throws, and scored 65 points. With a large number of shots, he could hit 50% of the shots and soared to 65 points!
The second single game of 60+ since the new century!
After O'Neal scored 61 points in a single game on March 6, 2000, this is the league's second 60+ points! The alliance is boiling!
Not to mention that it was still "affected by injuries"!
It is incomparable to the 1990s. At that time, there was David Robinson with more than 70 points in a single game, and Jordan with N consecutive scoring champions. Compared with them, Liu Mang was far behind.
But after the New Century League launched the hand-check, the league can use overhand defense and early double-teaming to limit O'Neal and Duncan, two superstars who are too powerful and even comparable to Jordan and Chamberlain, but outside players are more restricted After entering modern basketball, outside players are usually the main scorers of the team. They can double-team in advance and start defense, making it more difficult for outside players to score. In recent years, only Iverson, Kobe and Tracy McGrady have stood out. He is an outside scorer, and other outsiders are miserable, especially this year, it is terrible. Liu Mang averaged less than 27 points per game, and he has already ranked second in scoring.
People have been looking forward to the appearance of 60+, but it would be good to have a few 50+ in a year. It has been almost 4 years, and there has been no 60+ scorer in a single game.
People expect Kobe, Iverson and Tracy McGrady, three super scorers who have averaged 30+ per game, to score 60+ for the second time since the new century. Unexpectedly, when 60+ in a single game appeared, it was not like this The three recognized best scorers in the league, but the second place in the scoring list with the lowest average score per game except for the suspension season has become a new 60+ scorer in a single game.
Except for the suspended 98-99 season, in the history of NBA, Liu Mang averaged 26.6 points per game, which is the lowest scoring average among players ranked second in a single season since the birth of Wilt Chamberlain in the 1960s. of.
Therefore, Liu Mang's second place in the scoring list has not been recognized. Everyone thinks that Liu Mang can be ranked second because most of the scorers this year are teamed up, and Liu Mang can stay in the No. 1 spot without soaring high scores. two.
This may be the case, but this time Liu Mang raised his scoring average to 28.5 points per game by relying on 65 points in a single game, which made his scoring average meet the level that a real second in the scoring list should have. People began to fully appreciate Liu Mang's strength!
When Liu Mang scored 60 points, the fans in front of the TV were overwhelmed, and the Spurs became silent.
And when this news spread to those fans who had no time or didn’t want to watch the game after the game, the first reaction of the fans was to be joking. Bowen stepped on the foot in the first quarter. After really making sure it wasn’t a joke , Liu Mang's performance caused a sensation in the basketball circle!
...
...
It was night, and the entire NBA couldn't calm down.
Liu Mang did what he said, and took the Spurs as a stepping stone, and the Eagles started the road to the king.
65 points in a single game, setting a new high in a single game since the new century, and it was played against the Spurs, which is full of gold.
Bowen's black feet caused his own ankles instead, and he may have encountered the most serious crisis of his career. Many people even cursed that Bowen had better retire at this point.
Liu Mang's game made basketball fans enter a sleepless night.
Only once in a few years can 60+ in a single game be stronger than Jordan. The time to get 60+ is not as fast as that of Liu Mang. Before the merger of the ABA and the NBA, the overall strength of the NBA was not as strong as imagined. The ABA once had more money and was more popular with fans. It was only because of the lack of good management that the players unscrupulously violated the bottom line of the fans. The NBA under the control of Minister Larry O'Brien was annexed, and then the NBA is considered the real NBA. After that, the overall strength of the NBA has become stronger, and individual heroism has gradually weakened. Except for Jordan, there is no player who can completely dominate the scoring list. The situation of soaring high scores has gradually decreased. There are not a few times a single game with 50+ in a season, and a single game with 60+ is only once in three or four years.
Fans who didn’t watch the game live or watch the game live because of personal preference or work or study regretted it. Countless fans wanted to find the game video, make phone calls, and send emails to T.N.T and ESPN after the game. Two TV stations that have broadcast rights want them to rebroadcast the game.
Liu Mang's counterattack in the first two seasons allowed him to establish a strong fan base in Atlanta and even Georgia, and gradually he had the kind of fan base that Iverson had in Philadelphia, as well as allowing him to build a fan base in the Chinese fan group. , but in the eyes of most non-Hawks fans, Liu Mang is still not that popular, and he has offended too many people.
But this time, the fans were really convinced!
Arrogance and daring to offend others, at this time, became the highlight instead.
With strength, arrogance is called arrogance, and offending people is offending people. In the eyes of fans, it is arrogance and self-confidence.
Being arrogant and offending people without strength is not arrogance, but brain damage.
In the eyes of fans, Liu Mang was probably somewhere between arrogance and insanity. In the eyes of fans, the evaluation was mixed. This is also the reason why he offended all the fans in the league except the Eagles when he was praised by the league.
But now, relying on that show and his performance against the Spurs, Liu Mang has truly become the representative of arrogance in people's eyes!
A little arrogant, a little conceited, but it doesn't matter. When Liu Mang has this strength and performance, the fans feel that Liu Mang is worthy of such arrogance!
...
...
Scored 65 points and caused a sensation in the basketball world, but Liu Mang was not complacent about it.
Of course, the teammates all went to interviews and had fun at nightclubs. Liu Mang went back to the hotel alone to take a bath and rest, so as not to let himself become smug.
He knows that that ability does not belong to him, but because of Ginobili's star card, he can shoot left and right, not to mention the Spurs, there is probably no team in the entire league that can defend himself in that state, Liu Mang is very sure , Coupled with the fact that he is physically invincible, Duncan will not be as strong as his own in this game.
But just like that, after Liu Mang finished the game, he kept reminding himself that this is not his true strength, so don't feel that he is invincible because of this.
Just like what I thought when I made the decision to be an enemy of the entire alliance, it is okay to be arrogant, but you must know your own strength and position yourself. You can be arrogant, but you must understand how much you are. The direction of the goal is to attack the championship, instead of drifting away after a game.
After the game, as the protagonist, Liu Mang did not accept an interview, but took a shower, followed the team doctor to the hospital for an MRI, and then returned to the hotel.
On the way, a lot of outside stars who had Liu Reck's phone call called Liu Reck, and Liu Reck let Bo Wen down, which made his popularity skyrocket from a certain point of view! Especially among the top perimeter players in the league, he was suddenly widely praised. Even Kidd, who didn't like him, didn't know where to get a phone and sent him a text message, saying: Good job brother!
The one who was most excited was Carter. Liu Mang seemed to hear the joy of Carter just laughing in the toilet from the phone.
Liu Mang couldn't help sighing, Carter was really overwhelmed by Bowen, and now he was so excited to see Bowen get injured, he didn't have the so-called friendly attitude of "friendship first, competition second". Carter is still a person with a very high emotional intelligence, so he knows how hated Bowen is.
After returning to the hotel, Liu Mang soaked in the bathtub, closed his eyes and recalled the almost omnipotent feeling in the game against the Spurs. It's a pity that COSCO is not used to not being able to shoot a few three-pointers with his left hand, and this kind of opportunity is rare. Liu Wei tried his best to impress himself with that feeling.
Although it is difficult to get another star card of a left-handed superstar with such a high degree of fit, it may be difficult to try this again in the future, but this gives Liu Mang a clearer direction for future development!
Most of Liu Mang's offensive ability on the right side that could be improved has already been developed. There is a low post, but due to height and weight restrictions, the low post can only be used as the fourth and fifth offensive options, and even ranks below the mid-range and long-range shots without the ball. The first offensive method is still three-pointers, the second is to break through the basket, and then the pick-and-roll cooperation, the fourth and fifth are off-ball offense and low-post singles.
Even if a high post is developed in the future, now that the difference between point guards and shooting guards is getting smaller and smaller, Liu Mang feels that for a player like himself who is considered a tall and large point guard, the opponent must use shooting guards and small forwards to defend. Yes, and it is already like this now. Unless it is like the Nets, where the point guard is the first defense on the perimeter, it is rare. Otherwise, Liu Mang will always face taller and stronger players than him, and post-up singles can only be used as a support means of attack.
Of course, Liu Mang must develop powerful offensive methods such as high and low post backs as much as possible. Three-pointers and offense at the basket. The future rules will be very beneficial to these two points. Similarly, three-pointers and basket offense Defense will also become more important because of this. Various offensive methods in the middle distance have begun to be abandoned by the league.
As Jordan said, if he defends ten years later, he can average 40 points per game in the NBA, and more than half of his points may be mid-range shots. As for the other half...Hip lovers have proved that free throws can also become the main means of offense .
But one aspect of a person's ability has a ceiling. Although he is only in the third grade, Liu Mang clearly feels that he is about to touch his ceiling. Concentrate on the right side of the basket, and the left side of the basket is mostly off-the-ball shooting. When you are limited to attacking with the ball on the right side, the opponent's defense will come up, whether it is a three-pointer, a low post or a breakthrough, no matter how comprehensive it is. too much difference.
Liu Mang knows that he is getting more and more popular now, not the kind that people think is a counterattack, but the kind that has really been taken seriously. It can be seen from the fact that the Spurs strictly guarded against his right attack from the beginning , It's just that he can attack with his left hand suddenly, and he caught the Spurs by surprise.
Liu Mang thinks that this year may be okay. He just broke out from the counterattack group and has the ability to be close to the top stars. With the team's strong lineup, he has enough room to attack on the right side, but what about the future?
Liu Mang has always had a deep sense of urgency, fearing that he will be eliminated by the era of rapid development that the NBA is about to enter.
The future of basketball is very different from the present and the past. The main reason is that the salaries of NBA players in the early 1990s soared. Many parents are willing to let their children start to train their children to play basketball. In the future, the league will be ordinary. The overall strength of players will be greatly improved after the post-85s and post-90s enter the NBA. Stars like Olajuwon and Mutombo who only started playing basketball at the age of 18 or 19 will become less and less in the future. Liu Mang feels that the future is under great pressure.
Therefore, Liu Mang decided to try to develop his left-handed ability while strengthening his strongest three-pointers, footwork attack at the basket, and expanding his offensive range.
It is a bit broad to just say that developing the ability of the left hand is mainly to develop the ability to hold the ball on the left side of the basket!
...
After taking a bath, he repeatedly recalled the details of the game against the Spurs, so much that Liu Mang couldn't remember the details, but Liu Mang felt very comfortable with that feeling.
After the bathing and changing ceremony, Liu Mang went back to the bed, crossed his legs, opened the system panel, and a lot of prompts almost knocked him out.
"Ding... For the first time in my career, I have achieved 60+ in a single game, and I will be rewarded with 20,000 superstar points."
"Ding... If you get 60+ in a single game, you will be rewarded with 10,000 superstar points."
"Ding... Defeat the Spurs, Atlanta's Heart of the Strong mission is complete, reward feature: cold-blooded, reward the host team buff Heart of the Strong."
"Ding... the host conquered a large number of neutral fans in the United States, and gained a rogue value of 3,000,000."
"Ding... The host has become a public enemy of San Antonio, and gained a rogue value of 1,000,000."
"Ding... The host caused Bruce Bowen to have a career crisis, won the popularity of a large number of fans, and gained a rogue value of 2,000,000."
"Ding... The host caused a scolding war in China and gained rogue points..."
"Ding... the host wins..."
"Ding……"
"Ding……"
...
A lot of rewards, the superstar value is okay, a total of 33,071 points has been raised, and it is nowhere near a million points. Only by killing Kidd can you have a chance to unlock the talent skills, or suppress the contemporaries of 01-05 Compared with all future superstars, the former is more reliable, and the latter will take several years to complete.
Liu Mang can't wait to get to the playoffs and kill the Nets.
Liu Mang's happiest reward, of course, is the cold-blooded characteristic and the strong mentality of this season's team buff, which achieved the result Liu Mang wanted when he first announced that he was an enemy of the entire league.
What shocked Liu Mang the most was that the rogue value had skyrocketed by more than 10 million!
That is, just such a game, just such a 65 points, the fans, popularity and hatred he has accumulated are almost the same as the previous two years combined!
At this time, Liu Mang realized that he underestimated 60+ in a single game too low!
Liu Mang remembered, one of the most obvious examples, Arenas was already very strong in 2005 and 2006, and became one of the best combo guards in the league, but at that time even the fans and the media admitted that he was very strong , was selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years, but they were all substitutes. Few fans voted for him, but after scoring 60 points in the 05-06 season against Kobe, his popularity soared, and the All-Star votes in the 06-07 season skyrocketed Dozens of times, he was selected as an All-Star starter for the first time in his career.
Seeing that the hooligan value has skyrocketed from more than 14 million before the game to just over 30 million, although the growth rate has slowly begun to slow down, it is not a big problem to rely on the residual temperature of 65 points in a single game to increase to a million.
Liu Mang is of course very happy with the skyrocketing hooligan value, but there are two points, one is that Bo Wen was injured by himself, and the hooligan value increased by 2,000,000, which is more than the 1,000,000 hooligan value brought by the Spurs fans!
But the domestic fans started to scold and fight again, Liu Mang couldn't help it, Yao Ming did his best for the national team and retired before he was 30 years old.
Liu Mang wants to draw a lottery!
30 high-level rogue value draws, or 3000 intermediate rogue value draws, no matter what, you can draw out the kung fu of fighting left and right!
Just when Liu Mang had this idea excitedly, the system prompt came.
"Ding... left and right mutual Bo is a talent-type kung fu, not in the ranks of random lottery rewards. The host can consume a certain amount of rogue points after activating the budding talent skills, and designate the talent skills as kung fu-type talent skills. Left and right fight. Note: the host is The best time to soar in popularity is when the popularity of the host reaches its peak, and the basketball fans of the age group of the host’s fans have a fixed level of likes and dislikes towards the host, and the hooligan value accumulated by the host through basketball will stagnate.”
"Damn!" Liu Mang didn't expect a kung fu to be innate.
But think about it, it seems that fighting left and right is really a talent, stronger than Kobe's left-handed training, and it can only be used once in a while. I want to use my left and right hands as proficiently as I just finished this game. , It seems that I am the only one in NBA history!
However, you can use the rogue value to specify talent skills, which makes Liu Mang very excited. He has nothing, so he has more rogue value!
It's just... the talent skill is a kung fu card... This makes Liu Mang feel a little bit too extravagant.
For example, Iverson's unyielding arrogance, Carter's demigod, Duncan's natural king, Ben Wallace's Big Ben field... etc., all of which made Liu Mang very envious.
Liu Mang was very hesitant because his innate skill was an offensive method that had to be developed from scratch.
"wrong!"
Liu Mang thought about it, and thought of the omnipotent feeling when he could fire with both left and right hands. Instead, he felt that both left and right hands have the same offensive ability, but it is the most buggy and powerful talent skill!
You need to develop your ability as early as possible. I am only 21 years old, and I am only 22 years old after this season. In the case of already having good skills, there is a certain advantage in developing the left hand, because I have experience in developing the offensive ability of the right hand. Of course The sooner the better.
And I also have the possibility of a second talent skill, a talent skill that I strengthen myself, and a talent skill that is similar to the team buff of other superstars, with two prongs, I am invincible in the world.
Moreover, Liu Reck is different from others. Liu Reck knows his own uniqueness. Other people's talents and skills are actually just the system data of the ability that the player can play under specific circumstances that can boost the morale of his teammates or the success rate of shooting. Chemical analysis, and my innate skills, as long as I know the trigger conditions, I can take the initiative to trigger them!
Liu Mang made up his mind!
The first innate skill, first enhance yourself!
Liu Mang decided to strengthen himself first when the wheel of history has not been completely swayed by him, and he still has some foresight advantages, and can build a good team lineup for himself. It's time to accumulate enough skill shards for the second talent skill, and it's time to get another team buff talent skill!
By the way, there is a very important thing, Liu Mang asked the system: "Boss of the system, how much rogue value do you need to specify a talent skill?"
"Ding... After calculation, the designated innate skill is fighting left and right, which requires 100 million rogue points."
"...Your uncle! Why don't you go grab it!"
Liu Mang felt that he had been fooled again... Wait, what did the system say just now? It seems that now is the golden age of gaining popularity and drawing hatred.
In other words, the path of hatred cannot be stopped!
The system is forcing itself to do something!
