Chapter 660
Stockton's single runaway caused a sensation in the league.
Stockton's 10 points and 10 assists in a single quarter can be said to be the best performance of any point guard in the regular season in NBA history.
Of course, the kind of scoring point guard with more than 20 points in a single quarter, such as Isaiah Thomas, is equally great, but 10 points and 10 assists, a double-double of points and assists in a single quarter is really amazing.
This year, Utah's solo performances have played a big role in the new team. Malone averaged 13 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. It is completely impossible to tell that he is a veteran who will turn 41 soon after this season. Although he was affected by injuries and missed many games, Malone stepped up to help the Lakers when O'Neal was on a three-day truce during the regular season and helped the Lakers to overcome Kobe's fluctuating state and O'Neal's laziness from time to time. Standing up to support the Lakers' record, even after the January schedule, they overtook the Spurs and ranked second in the Western Conference.
Although Stockton did not become the inside pillar like Malone, his role on the bench is also indelible. His attendance rate is still higher than Malone, and he can often exceed the goals assigned by the coach. He averaged 5.6 points in 14 minutes per game. With a score of 4.3 assists, he put all his physical energy and energy into ten minutes, and his efficiency is amazing!
...
Stockton slapped Kidd in the face and caused a sensation in the basketball world, but the Eagles didn't have time to feel the sensation. They ushered in a back-to-back with the Bucks the next day after the Nets.
Last month, the Bucks took advantage of Liu Mang's absence and took advantage of the Eagles. Reed took advantage of Liu Mang's absence and scored 40 points in a single game. The Eagles led by three quarters because they did not have a ball-handling core. The last section is reversed.
This time not only Liu Mang is back, but Rasheed Wallace is also back. The Bucks players led by Mike Reid who came to the Phillips Arena again, saw the Eagles players all the same. With the expression of wanting to eat people, there is a feeling of desolation in my heart.
Kukoc saw the expressions of those familiar ex-teammates in his old club, and he knew that this group of guys who were led by Liu Wei so narrow-mindedly were going to take revenge!
When Reed saw the familiar face of his old friend Liu Mang, and the arrogant expression that impressed him with half-raised head and eyes parallel to the tip of the nose, the uneasiness in his heart struck again.
To describe Reed's current mood in one sentence, it is a momentary reversal...
The relationship between Reed and Liu Mang is very good. Liu Mang is the first opponent who values Reed. Although the two don't usually communicate much, Reid has a good impression of Liu Mang, and Liu Mang is not a lonely person. , when others treat him well, he will return a smile.
But this does not mean that Reed is not afraid of Liu Wei, on the contrary, he watched Liu Wei grow up from the beginning when Liu Wei was a pure substitute, and gradually became the number one candidate for the scoring champion.
This kind of progress, even though Reid has been regarded as the favorite of the Most Improved Award for two consecutive years, he also feels terrible about Liu Mang's progress!
The second year after Liu Mang's rookie season and the reason why he did not become the favorite for the most improved award in people's predictions this season is mainly because Liu Mang averaged 20 points per game in his rookie season. Although his performance in the second year of the regular season has improved , but the improvement is not big. Liu Mang's sophomore year makes people think he is good mainly because of his performance in the playoffs.
This year, Liu Mang was directly included in the ranks of several MVP favorites such as Garnett, Artest, Kobe, Peja, etc., and they have directly surpassed the ranks of Reid's stars and became the MVP favorites up!
Both of them rose from the 2001-2002 season, and they entered the NBA only a year apart. Reed was the one who entered the NBA a year earlier, but the results they have achieved now are almost sky-high!
Every time Reed met Liu Mang, he felt even more desperate. For two consecutive summers, he felt that he had made a huge improvement every time, and then he was pressed and rubbed by Liu Mang.
This kind of feeling is the feeling of many contemporary stars who are regarded as opponents by Liu Mang...
Liu Mang squinted his eyes and looked at the opponent, especially Reid who "sneaked" to score 40 points while he was away!
This year Reid's ability evaluation has reached 85, close to his peak, averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, second only to Peja and Ray Allen in the league. into the ranks of first-class stars.
Since the Heat, Hornets, Bucks, and Knicks compete fiercely from fifth to eighth, the records are almost the same, all close to 50% winning percentage, but no one can cross that hurdle.
For this team that may be the opponent in the first round of the playoffs, everyone in the Eagles attaches great importance to it today, especially when the Bucks played against the Eagles before. very excited!
With the roar of Rasheed Wallace, the Bucks were already trembling, and their fighting spirit collapsed!
It is true that TJ-Ford's speed is really fast. After the game started, no one on the Eagles side could limit his speed. With the experience of last time, Liu Mang can play again this time. The Eagles simply ignored TJ-Ford. Liu Mang and Raheem tried their best to defend Reed and Van Horn's shots. Liu Mang followed Reid, whether it was going around the pick-and-roll or man-marking, they all restricted them very well. Every time Reed met physical monsters like Liu Mang and Hamilton Both didn't play well, and those two were too restrictive for catch-and-shooters.
Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff guard the basket, Prince can follow up with TJ-Ford, if he can't keep up, pull up, to help defend the Bucks' outside pick-and-roll without the ball, and guard the basket Don't let TJ-Ford go in, don't pinch, let TJ-Ford run in the middle distance, like to shoot or not.
TJ-Ford's three-point shooting percentage in his early 20s and mid-range shooting percentage in his early 30s can be ignored!
In the last game, the Eagles went to defend against TJ-Ford's mid-range shot, which was obtained by relying on speed, but suffered a bigger loss. This time, they simply cut off the connection between TJ-Ford and his teammates. Ford, simply ignore him.
TJ-Ford is so fast, he can even be said to be the fastest in the league, but even in the future, he has not been able to become a star, and the key reason why he is even far behind his template Iverson is because of his shooting ability too bad!
So far in Iverson's career, he still has a 31% three-point shooting percentage, and the mid-range shooting has a shooting percentage as high as 38%, which is as high as 38% among the league's top mid-range pitchers. efficiency.
Not all fast players can be compared with Iverson.
After suffering a loss once, the Eagles will not be fooled a second time!
The Bucks already felt that they were going to be cold. TJ-Ford couldn't resist the pressure when he was so defended by the Eagles in the opening game. Germany.
Reed tragically started a one-on-one single against Liu Mang. Facing Liu Mang's defense, Reed's singles efficiency was a bit miserable. In the first quarter, he was defended by Liu Mang with 3 of 8 shots, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%.
The Eagles' offense has a clear core, which is completely different from the last time the Bucks played against the Nets!
Liu Mang made a three-pointer and made a mid-range shot. After the mid-range shot, he hit a low post. After the Bucks started double-teaming, Liu Mang started to pass the ball. Everyone in the Eagles was very active. It’s not that bad, but it’s enough to grab rebounds. Joe Smith and Tim Thomas of the Bucks combined to average 12 rebounds per game, while Raheem of the Hawks averaged 13 rebounds per game alone. Not one level.
And if you can't make it to the Eagles, you will defend! Bully the bucks with a great blacksmithing experience!
After the first quarter, Liu Mang's shooting percentage was not very good. He scored 12 points and 3 assists on 4 of 10 shots. The Eagles only scored 24 points, but the Bucks were even worse, except for Reed's 10 points in a single quarter. , the attack of others has come to a standstill! The Bucks only scored 14 points in a single quarter!
The Eagles are like this, and they can still lead by 10 points in a single quarter!
In the second quarter, the Eagles began a large-scale rotation. Jason Terry, Barnes, Boozer, and Kwame Brown were replaced. Stockton originally did not play back to back and continued to be weak today. Sitting behind the bench in a suit was yawning, and he had to prop his chin with his hands on his thighs so as not to fall down, so Liu Mang continued to play!
Although the Eagles' defense in this lineup has weakened, the efficiency of the two teams' strikes in the first quarter has risen, and the feel of both teams has dropped to freezing point.
The Bucks had an astonishingly tough situation in the first quarter, but there was no improvement in the second quarter. They continued to fight hard, and they hesitated to shoot in the end.
As for the Eagles, they are equally tough, but Liu Mang and Jason Terry rushed to shoot as if they were about to fight. This kind of person who dares to stand up and shoot when both sides have no sense because of defense or physical fitness , is the so-called big heart player.
Only if you dare to make a move, you can enter! The Bucks passed the pass. After passing for a long time, they couldn't get out of position. Because they didn't feel good, they didn't dare to shoot against the defense. They passed several 24-second violations. Although Reid is also a player with a big heart, but year after year Being suppressed by Liu Mang, he was already terrified of fighting Liu Mang. His absolute calmness was effective in other games, but it had no effect at all against Liu Mang.
On the Eagles side, there are such big-hearted players, and there are still two!
Liu Mang's cold-blooded characteristics, Jason Terry's characteristics of the king of the bench, the two had fun in this situation, and Boozer picked and rolled directly to shoot, Barnes and Kwame Brown grabbed offensive rebounds whenever they could, Return to defense if you can't grab it, and cooperate with the two big cancers quite tacitly.
In the second quarter, Liu Mang scored 9 points on 3-for-8, and Jason Terry scored 8 points on 3-of-10. It was outrageous. Relying on the frontcourt trio and offensive rebounds, the Eagles scored 5 points. Only scored 22 points in a single quarter.
The Bucks continued to be miserable, scoring only 15 points in a single quarter.
46 to 29, the Eagles widened the point difference to 17 points!
After the start of the second half of the game, Liu Mang, who had been guarded all the time, finally had a chance to score easily. After the first half, Liu Mang continued to play in the third quarter. The Bucks, who had been defending Liu Mang all the time, were stretched outside. Can't stand it!
The biggest gap between the top teams and the teams that are not up or down is the performance in the third quarter!
After the Bucks' defense began to collapse, Liu Mang rushed to the basket to shoot or score the ball in the third quarter. He scored 8 points and 5 assists in a single quarter. After the three quarters, the Eagles opened the point difference to 24 points. Leading 69-45.
In the fourth quarter, although Liu Mang still played, but mainly because of the pressure, Jason Terry, Korver, Boozer, Kwame Brown and others continued to play, Liu Mang played 6 minutes in the final quarter and scored 3 points , After the situation is completely settled, Liu Mang will end.
Liu Mang played for a full 42 minutes. He shot less in the fourth quarter. He went up and made a three-pointer and then gave up. He just made 12 of 30 shots in the game. Just because of that three-pointer, he raised his shooting percentage to 1.5%. Forty percent, scored 32 points and 8 assists, maintaining an average of 32 points per game.
The Eagles eventually avenged the Bucks with a score of nearly 30 points, 93 to 65.
After defeating the Bucks, the Eagles have won 12 consecutive victories!
With 39 wins and 7 losses, it is about to become the fastest team to win 40 wins since the new century!
Relying on a wave of 12 consecutive victories, the Eagles finally surpassed the start of the Lakers in the 99-00 season. When the Lakers got 40 wins, they had already lost 8 games. The Eagles have only lost 7 games so far. field!
Win another game, and the Eagles will become the fastest team to reach 40 wins in the new century!
