Chapter 835 834. Response
"Who am I? What am I doing? Why am I here? Am I crazy? How can I have such a teammate?"
McGrady looked at Liu Mang, who was chatting and laughing with Calderon and Korver in a three-point shooting contest. He felt that this team made him incomprehensible again.
The boss ran out to talk nonsense like this, and those old teammates were not surprised or uneasy at all. They were teasing Liu Mang.
"So when I was provoked by Ace last season, these teammates had the same attitude?" McGrady felt so tired!
The most important thing was that McGrady saw that Coach Kruger just rolled his eyes at Liu Mang and didn't say anything, as if this kind of thing was normal. McGrady felt that everyone in this team was abnormal.
Of course, there are actually three other players who feel weird. They are the three rookies in the 12-man roster. Iguodala, Varejao, and Josh Smith were all frightened by Liu Mang's operation, but they dared not show it, and they had no chance to show it. They had to practice every day, especially Josh Smith. Every day, they had to practice defense on the perimeter, that is, facing the interference of Iguodala's shooting in the interior, reducing fouls and mistakes in defensive choices.
Josh Smith's biggest problem now is fouls. Last time, he was fouled three or four times by the outside breakthrough after playing for more than ten minutes. Josh Smith averaged 17 minutes per game, which is higher than Kwame Brown's average fouls of 32 minutes per game!
Varejao needs to strengthen the confrontation, and Iguodala is the easiest. In addition to strength training and flexibility training, he is mainly responsible for beating Josh Smith.
In addition to McGrady, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Varejao, the other eight players in the Hawks' 12-man roster are all veterans from last season. Last season, Liu Mang caused more trouble than this season, and they have long been accustomed to it.
McGrady looked at his phone and found a text message from Kobe, which was scolding Liu Mang, mainly because Liu Mang turned off his phone and Kobe couldn't find anyone to scold Liu Mang.
You have to go on the path you choose, no matter how doubtful you are about life. It's not easy to win so many games. You have won 14 games in just one month. This is a win that McGrady had a chance to win in two months before. Even when he and Carter were partners, they could only win 15 or 16 games in the first two months.
Thinking about winning so many games, McGrady thinks the food in Atlanta is still pretty good...
...
Liu Mang is popular again!
The sports world in China and North America is dominated by Liu Mang's name.
Liu Mang has been less in the limelight this season. Except for the scoring list, he has not been in the limelight in other aspects. This season, due to the rules, many players have exploded. For example, Rahim has changed teams and entered the ranks of players averaging 25+ points per game. James, Wade, and Bosh have made great progress. Milicic has become the hope of a new generation of white centers. Kobe has played a strong performance of 28+6+6. McGrady's average of 15+11 has also attracted a lot of attention from Liu Mang. There is also the strong performance of the Pistons' five tigers after changing their head coach, especially Nash, who once averaged 13 assists per game and became the first player to average more than 12 assists per game after Magic and Stockton, dominating the MVP rankings and crushing everyone.
Too many stars have exploded. Although Liu Mang's performance has improved a lot compared to last season, it is much worse than these people's amazing performances.
The good ones can't be compared, and Liu Mang can't be compared with the bad ones. The Timberwolves suddenly collapsed, Garnett went from the first in the West to the second to last in the West, and the Pacers fought and destroyed their future. They are more eye-catching than Liu Mang.
This makes fans who like Liu Mang and fans who hate Liu Mang very uncomfortable.
Liu Mang's performance is too stable. Stability is not a problem. The key is that Liu Mang has done too little this season. He has been playing for a month.
Especially Liu Hei. If they can't hate Liu Mang for a day, they will feel uncomfortable. But Liu Mang has performed well this year! His hit rate is high, his record is good, and he is not the one with the best record. Some teams have taken their attention away. Liu Mang's headlines have decreased. It is not easy to find black spots, and it is not easy to stir up saliva to rehash old things.
Finally, seeing Liu Mang start to die again, Liu Mi and Liu Hei are about to cry with joy: This shameless guy finally started to die again!
It is rare in domestic forums that Liu Hei and Liu Mi are happy to hate Liu Mang together. As the saying goes, big Mi is black, big Hei is Mi, work together to hate Liu Mang.
Liu Mang felt heartache when he saw that the Internet was full of posts that hated him, but he saw that the rogue value increased by hundreds of thousands a day... He was in pain and happy.

Liu Mang not only made the fans active again, but also some stars went crazy because of Liu Mang’s remarks.
At 5 pm, while warming up for the next game, Liu Mang watched the live broadcast of Time Warner Cable in the locker room. It was the Lakers’ game against the Mavericks, which started at 2:30 pm. It was already coming to an end.
Looking at the score, Liu Mang was shocked. What did the Lakers do? They were actually leading the Mavericks by more than 20 points!
113 to 91, with more than three minutes left, the Lakers replaced the main players in advance, and the picture happened to be the picture of Kobe with strong muscles walking to the bench.
Then Kobe’s data was played. He played 43 minutes, 17 of 33 shots, 6 of 13 three-pointers, 14 of 17 free throws, and scored 54 points!
No more, no less, exactly 54 points!
After scoring 54 points, Kobe asked Atkins to commit a foul and called a timeout. Coach Tomjanovich, who always favored Kobe, replaced Kobe.
Liu Mang remembered that Kobe should not have scored 50+ this season. It was not that Kobe's scoring ability was not good, but he tried to prove that he could lead the team to win and integrate with his teammates after O'Neal left this season, so he played a career-high assist data of nearly 7 assists.
But in this game, Kobe took 36 shots, caused 3 free throws, and caused 12 shooting fouls on the opponent. He devoted himself to the scoring end and single-handedly blew up the Mavericks!
As expected, scoring is the best way for Kobe to lead the team. His high score makes Odom and Luke Walton's passing ability well demonstrated. Of course, Kobe's style of play just restrains the Mavericks. The Mavericks are now playing a five-man singles style, but none of them is better than Kobe in singles. Just like they were defeated by Wade's constant singles in the 2006 finals, they were defeated by Kobe!
Regarding Kobe's rampage, Liu Mang knew that he was probably stimulated by himself. Liu Mang only wanted to say one thing: "Fuck! This damn little blacksmith is targeting me!"
Then, something happened that made Liu Mang want to vomit blood.
"Ding... Legendary Mission Scoring King Extended Mission: The prelude of the epic scorer duel is triggered..."
...
Kobe scored 54 points in a single game, no more, no less, just one more than 53 points, and it was clearly the last three minutes. According to Kobe's state in this game, it is not impossible to score more points and get 60+, but he seemed to have calculated it and took the initiative to rest after scoring 54 points. Although Kobe did not accept interviews after the game, it still gave people unlimited room for imagination.
Obviously, it was a response to Liu Mang's previous words!
The fans were all excited, Iverson did not respond, and was too lazy to care about Liu Mang; James was willing but unable; Nowitzki didn't care about these things. This guy didn't even want an agent. If it wasn't for wearing free sneakers, he wouldn't even want a sneaker endorsement; Rahim knew Liu Mang too well, and he really couldn't compete; Stoudemire and Nash were having fun together, and he didn't want to provoke Liu Mang to avoid being dunked next time; Kobe rarely accepted interviews in the past two years.
None of the six players who averaged 25+ points per game in the top seven of the scoring list responded to Liu Mang. The fans were a little disappointed. They didn't expect Kobe to be so ruthless and respond directly with practical actions!
Fans and other teams began to watch the excitement. It was boring at noon. The regular season was the best to watch in the first month of the league and the ranking battle after the All-Star Weekend. The ratings in the middle of the season were not high. Strong confrontations and topics were needed to increase attention. Liu Mang challenged the scorers, and the league fueled the flames. David Stern and Adam Silva both treated Liu Mang as a treasure, which was much more capable than Yao Ming.
However, among the teams watching the excitement, there was no Raptors who had already arrived in Atlanta...
Milicic was about to collapse after seeing Kobe get 54 points.
Why did they encounter this? Why did Kobe just respond to Liu Mang and just exceed Liu Mang's highest score in the league this season by one point, and they just had to play against the Hawks? And it was two hours after Kobe got 54 points, and it was their game that just happened to strike while the iron was hot?
As bad as death, Milicic was notified by the team that ESPN would urgently broadcast this game.
If it were normal, Milicic would be so happy to get the nationwide live broadcast. After the Raptors lost Carter, the number of live broadcasts dropped sharply. This season, there are only 4 nationwide live broadcasts, which is less than the number of live broadcasts of the Wizards.
But this time, Milicic would rather not have this live broadcast...
...
...
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Hawks ushered in the first game of December at home.
Hawks fans felt that they were going to see Liu Mang go crazy again. The whole stadium was full of cheers, and the visiting players also cheered, which was considered to appease the desperate mood of the visiting players now.
McGrady felt that his worldview collapsed when he saw the fans so excited, but this game was a good opportunity to brush assists. Thinking about it, it was still good, and McGrady accepted it all again.
Liu Mang came to the sidelines with a sullen face to wipe magnesium powder.
Cursed the little blacksmith ten thousand times, Liu Mang will become a lone force in this game!
Just after Kobe scored 54 points, Liu Mang received a new task.
An extension of the Scoring King Task!
"The beginning of the epic scorer duel: In the 2004-2005 season, the host must maintain the highest individual score record in a single game of the season until the end of the season. Whenever a player scores more than the host in a single game, the host must surpass the score in the next game. Task reward: All-round shooting ability +1. Failure penalty: Cumulative failure penalty. Whenever the highest score of the season is refreshed by others, if the host does not surpass the next game, 10,000 superstar points will be deducted for each failure."
Damn little blacksmith!
Liu Mangfa Si and Los Angeles Iron Man are irreconcilable!
The scene darkened. With a roar from Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown clapped his hands and scattered magnesium powder to mobilize the atmosphere. The scene followed Prince to dance square dance.
Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder in the air and walked onto the court.
"Since you want to compete with me, little blacksmith, I will also steal your limelight! The title of Dragon Slayer Warrior is determined!"
