Chapter 644 643. Why Don't You Get 60 Points?
With 46 points in a single game, McGrady tried his best, but in the case of the Eagles team defending him alone, although he got the luxury data of 46+7+9, the shooting efficiency of 17 of 36 shots was also very scary, and continued. McGrady's peak performance in the past two years.
However, the Magic trailed by 25 points 78 to 103!
In the fourth quarter, McGrady couldn't move anymore. After three quarters, they were only 11 points behind 72 to 83. In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Eagles led by the still energetic Liu Mang played a wave of 20 games. 6 half quarter score!
McGrady scored 43 points in the first three quarters, and was about to catch up with Liu Mang's 45 points in the three quarters. However, Liu Mang scored, passed the ball and actively double-teamed, but he was still able to continue playing in the fourth quarter. The Magic team They were only 11 points behind in the first three quarters. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they were thinking of another wave, but Liu Mang hit two three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and then rushed to the basket to kill Gooden in a row. By the sixth foul, he scored 9 points and 3 assists in the half quarter, helping the Eagles hit a 20-6 scoring shock wave in the half quarter.
It's not that the Magic don't want to struggle, who wants to lose face in the national live broadcast?
It's just that the Magic team is really exhausted. They were only 11 points behind in the first three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, McGrady only shot 1 of 5 in the half quarter, and caused a three-point foul, but only 1 of 3 free throws. After the free throws entered the official timeout, the head coach of the Magic looked at the 25 The point difference, seeing that the players are exhausted, can only announce their surrender.
McGrady looked at the 25-point difference on the big screen, and he scored 46 points and 9 assists in offensive data, and scored 17 of 36 shots efficiently. The point difference is still so huge.
For Liu Mang, 23 points in the first quarter, 13 points and 5 assists in the second quarter, 36 points and 5 assists in the first half, and 9 points and 2 assists in the second half of the third quarter. Scored 9 points and 3 assists, scored 54 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists on 22 of 41 shots, and smashed the entire Magic team with one hand!
Although Liu Mang relied on the threat of his teammates and combined sudden shots to win such a performance, there are many players with good teammates in the NBA, and there are also many core players, but how many of them can get the data of Liu Mang?
McGrady first lamented that his life was miserable. If he passed the ball in the second and third quarters, even if a third of his teammates made the shot, he would not hold the ball and not let go. The key is that they just shot No entry!
McGrady hated it, if Hill was... Hill... McGrady thought of Hill, watched the two teams start to change players, and saw Liu Mang resting surrounded by his teammates, his expression began to calm down.
After losing the score against Biao, McGrady complained for a while, but quickly thought of the only motivation he had this season, and tried to amplify this motivation, and quickly calmed down, closed his eyes, and turned his face to the field. But I really don't want to see the rest of the game.
...
After the Magic team announced their surrender, the Eagles also replaced most of the main players, replacing them with a lineup of Stockton, Korver, Willie Green, Boozer, and Kevin Willis. Stockton has another half of the quarter happily collecting assists!
Stockton didn't have any idea of keeping his hand. Today he only played half of the first half of the third quarter, and only got 1 assist in the third quarter. In the remaining half of the quarter, he has to quickly clear up his average of 4 assists per game. enough!
A strong team makes it easier for role players to find their own positions. Korver performs well every time he comes up, because his teammates are good teammates. He learned the position selection and decisive shots after receiving the ball. He benefited a lot. He got consecutive shots in the pick-and-roll cooperation between Stockton and Boozer. He came up and made two three-pointers, plus two three-pointers in the second and third quarters. Double, played 16 minutes and scored 12 points on 4 of 9 shots... Yes, only three-pointers were hit, and there were no other statistics.
Stockton led the drinking fountain lineup with Boozer in the final quarter, and scored another shock wave of 23 to 12 in the half quarter, which did not save face for the Magic at all.
The Eagles players came here to slaughter the Magic today!
In the end, the Eagles slaughtered the Magic with a huge difference of 36 points, 126 to 90, and avenged the previous game!
Liu Mang and the Eagles both defeated their opponents and ended their losing streak!
...
...
Averaged 30.1 points per game!
Once again, Liu Mang dominated the scoring list alone!
Although McGrady also scored 46 points, which was half of his average, but the average score only increased to 29.8 points.
Liu Mang tops the scoring list again!
The game between the Eagles and the Magic was broadcast live across the United States. Seeing that Liu Mang did not lose the slightest in the head-to-head confrontation with McGrady, scoring and assisting both suppressed McGrady, the fans who watched this game were going crazy!
This rookie who went through the back door back then has actually reached this level? Actually suppressed McGrady!
Fans don't care about the big gap between the two teams' lineups, and they don't care about the fact that the Eagles are targeting McGrady alone. The ending is king!
Liu Mang's data is better than McGrady's. The Eagles beat the Magic by 36 points. The Eagles' score of 43 to 18 in the final quarter widened the gap. This is the end!
The most important thing is that Liu Mang got 50+ again!
Among the active players, Iverson has scored the most 50+ points in a single game. So far, he has scored 50+ points 8 times, two of which were in the playoffs. This is the strongest active player.
Karl Malone has the second most 50+ times in a single game among active players, with 4 times in the regular season and once in the playoffs.
As for Liu Mang, he has now reached 50+ 4 times! One of them was 65 points. After David Robinson retired after playing last season, Liu Mang ranked first in active play with 65 points in a single game! The number of 50+ times in a single game in the regular season is the second in active play!
...
After the Eagles game, the Eagles locker room was very lively.
In this game, Liu Mang took 41 shots, which was a bit too much, but in general, except for the first quarter, he played very reasonably in the last three quarters. The Eagles shot 15 of 28 in the last three quarters. The team is the highest, and Kwame Brown's 3-of-6 shooting rate in the last three quarters is higher than that of insider Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown's hand really made the Eagles players feel enough.
Liu Mang has the highest shooting percentage, and it's normal to shoot more shots. Does it have to be passed to teammates who don't have a high shooting percentage?
What's more, Liu Wei also scored 10 assists. The Eagles scored 126 points, and Liu Wei "only" scored 54 of them. The number of times Mang passed the ball is still a lot, but there is a half chance that his teammates will not make shots, otherwise the number of assists will be more...Of course, the Magic team may be defeated early and surrendered early, and Liu Mang can't get it. High assist count.
Liu Mang is very satisfied with his stats of 54+10, but his teammates are not happy with his "selfless pass".
After Jason Terry celebrated, he suddenly said to Liu Mang very dissatisfied: "Ace, in the second half, if you pass less and shoot more, won't you be able to score 60 points? We are all ahead by so much. How much do you vote for!"
"Jason is right, if you get 60 points, this game will be more perfect!" Rasheed Wallace, who came to Orlando with the team but could only watch the game in the locker room, also echoed.
"Three people on the opposite side are guarding me, and I still shoot. Who am I in your mind?" Liu Wei didn't expect that these guys would 'dislike' his pass!
"What are you afraid of! Our rebounding is much better than the Magic, and we lead so much. It's only 6 points away from 60 points. It's a pity." Raheem also came to chatter.
"..." Liu Wei didn't expect that this group of guys cared more about his own score than himself. Didn't it mean that blacksmiths were not liked by his teammates? Why does it feel like these guys are forcing the young master to strike iron?
Liu Reck looked at several teammates, you and I discussed which of Liu Reck's passes passed out. It would be better for Liu Reck to shoot by himself. Liu Reck felt that he had a high shooting percentage and so many assists. It was like doing something wrong, and he said angrily: "Okay, you want me to shoot, right? Next time I will throw 64 times, you guys slowly grab rebounds!"
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he picked up his clothes and angrily walked to the bathroom. He went to take a shower first. This group of teammates is really enough! I always feel that there are villains who want to harm the young master!
Could it be that you want Xiaoye to be at the top of the blacksmith list? His heart can be punished!
But besides Liu Mang's "shame and anger", Liu Mang was also a little moved.
The teammates let me vote, and I won’t shoot more in the future. Isn’t it a bit sorry for the teammates?
right! To vote more!
Just when Liu Mang made up his mind to take more shots in the future and walked into the bathroom to take a shower, the group of teammates outside who were still discussing whether Liu Mang could score 60 points again suddenly felt a chill, as if someone wanted to Do something bad!
...
...
After the Eagles players came out of the shower, the locker room was already packed.
It is rare for the Eagles to open the locker room for interviews. The main reason is that there have been many incidents in the team recently, such as fights, suspensions, etc., and they have not been interviewed for so many days. Due to the pressure of the media, the Eagles coaching staff can only open An interview happened to be a big victory over the Magic this time, so let those media do enough interviews.
When the players came out of the bathroom, Liu Mang looked at the various outfits of his teammates and felt hot eyes! Can't help but want to get away from the crowd.
Some are okay, dressed like Liu Mang, in a suit, such as Boozer and Stockton, two honest people off the court.
As far as Liu Mang is concerned, only he, Boozer, and Stockton are dressed normally. Liu Mang can't stand the rest, and some of them are just like Muhammad and Ratliff, who love to show off their muscles. Wearing shorts, showing the muscles of the upper body, is very heroic. What's more, like Jason Terry and Barnes, they came out wearing a towel or a pair of underwear, which is quite unrestrained.
When the Eagles players came out of the bathroom laughing and playing, except for the old players from last season who had long been accustomed to the overwhelming crowd of reporters, the few players who just joined this year were a little confused.
Like Rasheed Wallace, it’s not that he has opened the locker room for interviews in other teams, but he saw that he was desperately trying to squeeze into the locker room, and there was a long line of cameras outside the door until the corner Many photographers and media wanted to squeeze in. After seeing that they were only wearing a bath towel, they felt that their crotch was cold...
Except for the veteran Eagles players from Liu Mang's era, who had long been accustomed to the reporters chasing Liu Mang all over Asia, everyone else was frightened! Even the old players were a little frightened when they saw so many people. There were more media than when there were occasional big events last season, all of which were aimed at Liu Mang.
The Eagles players looked at the reporters who kept trying to squeeze into the locker room, and felt that they should be so exaggerated!
It seems that the locker room can't accommodate too many reporters. It is said that the locker room is for interviews, but it turns out that there are not so many reporters. Some of the Eagles players are interviewed in the player tunnel.
Not to mention, even Rasheed Wallace, once a well-known star in the West, was a bit cramped when he was surrounded by a large number of reporters outside the locker room. Black reporters, white reporters, yellow reporters, Hispanics Skin color has everything.
In the "opening game" of the battle between Liu Mang and McGrady for the scoring title, Liu Mang made things so big again that all major basketball news media around the world sent people here, more than 100 nearly 200 TV stations, magazines, Reporters from newspapers and online platforms surrounded all 14 Eagles players who came with the team today. The head coach, assistant coaches, even trainers and physical therapists were interviewed.
For example, trainers and physical therapists will definitely not be able to ask anything related to the game, but asking them which player is better can also gather news.
After the Christmas game, the attention of the NBA fell to the lowest level in the whole season. Except for the big event that the Nets made, the rest of the news flow was supported by Liu Mang.
However, Liu Mang doesn't like to accept interviews, which makes the media explode. They can only watch ESPN get first-hand information every time. This time the Eagles announced that they will open the locker room for interviews. Naturally, the reporters are very active. .
Coach Kruger was surrounded by reporters, watching his players so excited that they were going to fly into the sky. Most of them had never been interviewed by so many reporters, even in the past two years, they had felt Liu Mang's role in the international basketball world. Influential old players are very excited, this time they are going to be famous!
Of course, the biggest news media all want to interview Liu Mang alone. The most mainstream media in China, the United States, Britain, Spain, Russia and other European countries with a high degree of interest in basketball are all next to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang saw his old friend Xu Jicheng came again, and the two chatted happily in English.
The main reason is that Xu Jicheng proposed to use English, and he is more humane. If he can’t understand other media in Chinese, he will hate their Xinhua News Agency. If he uses English, the people next to him can understand the content of the interview.
After Liu Mang and Xu Jicheng exchanged a few words, the official visit began.
"Ace, congratulations on taking the lead in the scoring championship. Do you have the confidence to win the scoring championship this season?" Xu Jicheng is very proud. He is a player from his own country. A little aggressive.
Liu Mang felt a pressure coming. The imperial TV station and Xinhua News Agency were the same as the general public opinion in China. Liu Mang often went to online forums at home and abroad. He knew the public opinion of domestic fans very well. He felt that Liu Mang and Yao Ming were there. China The team feels invincible.
For this situation, Liu Wei has nothing to do. The three major domestic balls, the women's volleyball team is okay, the women's football team is also good, and the women's basketball team is also very strong, but the men's side is miserable. Men's volleyball is the third-rate in the world. Sometimes they can't even enter the first-level world competitions. Men's football has just become a national humiliation. Only men's basketball looks promising. Before the rise of Yao Ming and Liu Mang, it was already in the top ten in the world, so domestic Sports fans pin their hopes on the three major goals on the men's basketball team.
For this, Liu Mang feels very honored, but the pressure is great!
Just like now, the question Xu Jicheng asks is obviously not a normal question, but a question about recruiting gangsters. Liu Mang doesn't care whether he recruits gangsters or not. The American media basically asks this way, but the domestic mainstream media asks this question. , It reflects the situation of domestic public opinion from the side, that is, domestic fans are almost overconfident, even the mainstream media is so confident.
This made Liu Mang feel the pressure to join the national team next time!
But what can be done? After World War II, the country has been weak for many years, and now it is becoming stronger step by step. It is necessary to show the strength of the country to the world from two aspects: software and hardware. Hardware is naturally the country's economic strength and military strength. The country will solve this problem by itself.
And software is about sports, art, education, etc. The most direct one is sports!
That's why the national table tennis is so valued, and the national football team is so sensational even once it has scored in the World Cup.
However, the influence of table tennis, badminton, diving and other sports is indeed too small, and the national football team is really bad. In addition, 90% of the people in China have never touched a tennis racket with their own hands. of sports fans pin their hopes on basketball.
Maybe not all Chinese people understand the purest idea in their hearts, which is to show the strength of the country. They may have a relatively "superficial" idea of simply loving basketball, sports, and the country, but fundamentally speaking, they just want to Seeing that the country is stronger, I am more confident!
After Liu Mang became an athlete, he has a deeper understanding of this point than most sports fans. Why are most NBA stars unwilling to join the national team? Are they unpatriotic? No, but they already have that self-confidence, their national team is invincible in the world, they are very confident.
On Liu Mang's side, his country has been weak for many years, so he needs such a sports leader, and sports that have always received a lot of attention to show the strength of the country. Liu Mang knows this very well.
Why is the national football team being scolded so badly now? Isn't it because the expectations are too high and do not match the country's hardware strength. If their own country is the same as Thailand and Laos, who would give them such high expectations?
Feeling from Xu Jicheng that the direction of domestic public opinion has indeed been confirmed, Liu Mang felt a sense of responsibility in addition to the pressure! This made Liu Mang more eager to acquire talents and skills to compete with each other, and his motivation to improve his strength to a higher level in this season was even stronger!
That being the case, Liu Mang pursed his lips and pretended to think for a moment before saying: "This is a great start, and it will be great in the future. I think I am the strongest scorer. Now that the goal is set, let's take it."
The reporters were all satisfied with this answer, and then it was the ESPN reporter's turn to ask: "Ace, do you think your pursuit of the scoring champion will affect the team's record?"
Youtai, the questions you asked seemed unfriendly, but they were old friends, how could Liu Mang not know that the other party was helping him to explain, but how could Liu Mang let go of this opportunity to make trouble?
Liu Mang's arrogant expression reappeared: "This is not a problem. We are too strong. No one will be our opponent. The record, scoring champion and even the final championship are all ours."
The reporter of ESPN has a black line on his face, don't he think about how badly he has been scolded? Being a friend of Taiwan is also tiring! I have to help to "take out of context" from the good side, and I have to make it up myself.
Little did he know that Liu Mang wanted to make things bigger, to get as many rogue points as in the rest of the regular season plus the playoffs before killing Kidd, how can he not make things happen, whether he loves him or hates him ,It will be all right!
The reporter at T.N.T asked a question: "Ace, just now I heard your teammates say that you are only 6 points away from reaching 60 points. You are very upset about this. For you, scoring is more important or teammates?"
Sure enough, it was a hostile stage, so this question was very unfriendly. It was obvious that his teammates tricked him to score 60 points, and he could just put the crown on Liu Mang's head.
However, instead of defending, Liu Mang directly expressed his approval: "Wow, you are so right, I feel terrible, this group of teammates who do not have as high a shooting percentage as me, and whose average points per game are not as high as mine are always robbing me." Shooting opportunities, I'm fed up with them, for me, of course, the most important thing is the number, who is the teammate? Well, it's not that important, it's not that I haven't scored 60 points, who cares."
Liu Mang's words caused a burst of laughter. Of course, there may still be some out of context, and there will also be people who directly and clearly release the entire interview of Liu Mang, and there will be friendly media who will focus on interpreting Liu Mang. A good relationship with teammates, no matter what it is, Liu Mang thinks it's okay, as long as it can increase popularity!
Taking the time to open the system panel, Liu Mang saw that the rogue value had been skyrocketing again in the past few days due to his own troubles and tonight's game. Liu Mang felt that he was going to become a fancy news maker!
