Chapter 836 835. Just One Point More than You

The Hawks' lineup remains the same, Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown.

On the Raptors side, Alston, Jaylen Rose, Morris Peterson, Rafael Aluyu, and Milicic are the starting lineup.

Liu Mang looked at Milicic's ability rating before the game, 83 overall ability rating, 79 offense, 86 defense.

Milicic is a full year younger than Bosh and Anthony, six months younger than James, and is a center. His progress is a little slower than the other four in the top five, but he is a center. Even if his progress is a little slower, it has surprised the Raptors. He has played such a performance in his second year.

Others also looked at Alston, whose ability rating is 72, but he has established a firm foothold in the NBA, mainly because the current rules are conducive to breakthroughs. He is good at breaking through and passing the ball. This season, he averaged 6 assists per game and his hit rate reached 40% for the first time.

Jalen Rose, ability rating 81... The main small forward of the Pacers who made it to the finals, has now become a miracle of playing badly. His statistics have always been good, but he has never won any awards except the Most Improved Award. He was sold by the Pacers the second year after the finals, which can explain some problems.

Maurice Peterson, ability rating 77, offense 73, defense 80... He is unlucky. The Spurs wanted to dig him last summer and gave him a middle-class contract. He was about to become the main small forward of the championship team, but the Raptors matched the three-year full middle-class contract given by the Spurs and forced him to stay.

Peterson is one of the few players in the 2000 rookies who can make great contributions after entering the NBA. He is very competitive in defense and has first-class three-point ability. He has averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game in his career so far, with a hit rate of 38%. He is a high-quality puzzle for the championship team, but except for his rookie year in the playoffs when he defended Iverson and showed his role in the playoffs, the Raptors have difficulty in the playoffs at other times.

Rafael Aruyu, ability rating 60... Liu Mang really can't remember who this is, a white center No. 8 pick... Liu Mang remembers that in the original time and space of the Raptors, they also selected an Italian center No. 1 pick in 2006, who was also white.

Do Canadians really like white centers so much?

Liu Mang looked at the Raptors' lineup and found that there was absolutely no strong point. The core inside was too young, and the lineup looked like a rotten lineup.

After clapping his hands, Kwame Brown came to the center circle and prepared for a jump ball with Milicic, who was in a desperate state.

Kwame Brown finally began to have an absolute advantage in the jump ball again. The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown, who lost two jump balls in a row, finally won the jump ball again and passed the ball over Milicic's head to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court quickly. Alston rushed over to block him. Liu Mang did not pass the ball. He changed direction and shook off Alston's poor defense. He rushed to the top arc and waited for Kwame Brown to rush in from the three-point line. Liu Mang directly pulled up for a three-pointer!

I want to throw, you guys grab the rebound for me!

The first ball was iron, and Jaylen Rose's data-crazed self-throwing mid-air rebounding method grabbed the defensive rebound.

"XXXXX..." The other four players of the Hawks were startled and retreated quickly. Liu Mang also retreated immediately.

Fortunately, after the Raptors came over, Jaylen Rose's first singles were also defended by Prince. The mid-range strong shot missed and Kwame Brown grabbed the defensive rebound.

Liu Mang started the game with a super big single-force posture. From the first attack after Kwame Brown won the jump ball, Liu Mang started the reckless shooting style, which scared McGrady to run up and ask for the ball.

"Kwame, give me, Ace, you run, I'll pass you the ball!" McGrady was scared to death.

He thought Liu Mang would take a lot of shots in this game, but he didn't expect him to be so careless!

Although others couldn't help but curse, they were generally used to it. They tried their best to defend and grab rebounds, but McGrady couldn't! He felt that his heart couldn't bear it, so he grabbed the ball, discussed it well, and prepared to try to create opportunities for Liu Mang.

As long as he could shoot, Liu Mang ran to the front court and started running wildly with Alston who was defending him.

Fortunately, Liu Mang had a good ability to run without the ball. His teammates also saw that Liu Mang was stimulated by Kobe, and they all created opportunities for Liu Mang, helping Liu Mang block people and grab offensive rebounds. McGrady's pass was also powerful enough, and Liu Mang got a lot of shots.

The Raptors, who are now competing with the Bucks for the second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference, are trembling.

The Raptors are trying to play badly for Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Raymond Felton, three popular point guards. Milicic has averaged 14.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game this season, mainly averaging 2.6 blocks per game, ranking fourth in the league after Marcus Camby, Tim Duncan, and Theo Ratliff. His blocks are amazing!

In his original time and space, even if Milicic did not develop his comprehensive offensive talents, he was also very good at defense, averaging 2.1 blocks per game in a single season. In this time and space, because of the balanced match with Kwame Brown, he has a good ability to show his talents. In addition, the Raptors have also trained him properly, and Milicic's defensive performance is even more eye-catching than the offensive end.

Therefore, in order to find a guard partner for Milicic, the Raptors started to play badly again.

The main reason is that there was no point guard who could be regarded as the core in 2004, and no point guard was selected in the lottery zone. The draft resources in 2004 were too poor, so the Raptors can only do it again. This season, they will continue to play badly. Three point guards who are regarded as at least All-Star level will participate in the draft after the end of this season.

However, the Bobcats and Hornets, two teams produced in Charlotte, are too bad. The Raptors can only compete for the third from the bottom. Fortunately, there is Australian Duncan. The top four picks may get one of the three major point guards, so the Raptors are still very relieved to play badly.

Who knew that playing badly was not safe, and they met Liu Mang who was fighting with Kobe!

Liu Mang's shameless and skinless throwing style, with Liu Mang's current three-point ability, which is one of the best in the league, and his iconic physical crazy style, the Raptors are about to collapse.

"Who can come and release the accelerator of this guy!" Rafer Alston, the fastest player of the Raptors, is going crazy.

Alston was so tired running after Liu Mang, this guy can run too fast! And it seems that he will never get tired, both on offense and defense, he double-teams and counterattacks like a madman, and throws the ball as soon as he receives it! And he throws it to the face regardless of whether he gets rid of the defense or not.

The key is that the Raptors do not protect rebounds well!

Although the Hawks' average rebounds per game were overtaken by the Magic and dropped to fifth in the league, they are still among the top five rebounding teams! It's not the Raptors, whose data in all aspects are the last in the league, but they are limited in all aspects.

Liu Mang scored 17 points in the first quarter, 16 points in the second quarter, and 15 points in the third quarter. After three quarters, he scored 48 points!

Liu Mang originally wanted to score 82 points, but he found that he could only think about it. When he scored more than 40 points, the Raptors began to double-team him regardless of anything. Moreover, due to the big advantage in the interior, Kwame Brown saw Milicic and Howard and got 16 points and 18 rebounds in 34 minutes. The Hawks took the lead from the beginning of the first quarter and led by more than 10 points at halftime.

Kwame Brown played for a long time in this game. He only rested for two minutes in the first three quarters. With Liu Mang's style of play, Coach Kruger did not dare to replace Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown grabbed 9 frontcourt rebounds in three quarters and dunked 6 times. Milicic was good at single defense and help defense, but he was not so good at rebounding. His positioning was a bit loose. This was his shortcoming. No one is perfect.

The score difference had widened to 22 points in the third quarter. The Hawks led by 22 points in three quarters, 81 to 59.

Of the Hawks' 81 points, 48 ​​were scored by Liu Mang, McGrady scored 10 points, and Kwame Brown scored 16 points and 18 rebounds in three quarters, which means that the rest of the Hawks didn't get many shots!

Liu Mang continued to lick his face and wanted to play in the fourth quarter, which made Jason Terry angry. However, if Liu Mang scored a few more points than Kobe, Jason Terry would also find it interesting. Kobe was too annoying and looked arrogant. Jason Terry hated Kobe the most. He couldn't fight him, so it was not bad to let Liu Mang fight him.

McGrady played and got 10 assists in three quarters, scoring 10 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds. Coach Kruger saw that the score was widening, so he replaced him and left Liu Mang on the court to brush up the data. Coach Kruger knew that Liu Mang would not stop until he brushed higher points than Kobe today, so he still sent Liu Mang up in the fourth quarter.

It was not until Liu Mang scored 55 points and there were more than 7 minutes left that the Raptors called a timeout and he left the court to rest.

Liu Mang did not continue to score points. He had seen that the Raptors were getting angry and could feel that the Raptors were about to attack him in the last 9 points. Liu Mang hurried off the court after scoring 55 points.

Moreover, the Raptors seemed to have seen Liu Mang's idea. Liu Mang scored 5 points in the fourth quarter. After the total score reached 53 points, Liu Mang broke through for the last layup. The Raptors let go of the defense and let Liu Mang get the last two points. If Liu Mang got 55 points and went down, they could relax and wait for the end of the game. If Liu Mang continued to score, they might really get angry.

19 of 39 shots, Liu Mang threw 19 three-pointers, hit 7, and made 10 of 13 free throws, scoring 55 points!

The Raptors saw that this damned star finally went down: Why are we injured again... Hey, why is it again?

…

…

Liu Mang responded strongly to Kobe's 54 points!

He scored 55 points and 6 rebounds without a single assist. The purpose is obvious. Fans don't have to guess. This is definitely a response to Kobe's 54 points in a single game!

Moreover, Liu Mang scored 53 points in the last game against the Magic last month. He scored 50+ in two consecutive games, and his average score increased by 0.7 points to 35.1 points per game!

Only two active players have scored 50+ back-to-back in the regular season. In addition to Liu Mang, it was Antoine Jamison of the Wizards who scored 50+ in two consecutive games when playing against the Nuggets and Lakers in 2000! There is no one else except these two people!

Without any preparation, he went up as soon as he said it. He created the league's season scoring record. As soon as it was surpassed, he immediately took it back!

The Chaoting TV station that added this game to the broadcast was so happy with the 1.5 ratings that it temporarily changed the broadcast to the Eagles' game. The ratings doubled compared to the normal Wednesday morning broadcasts of other teams' games!

ESPN's temporary extra broadcast, without much pre-order time, has attracted more than 14 million paid viewers, making a fortune! The live broadcast of the regular season games between non-popular and popular teams usually has a viewership of around 5 to 6 million. In fact, as long as 3 to 4 million people pay to watch the games, the TV station will make money with the current relatively cheap live broadcast purchase rights. The Knicks' home games are broadcast live by themselves, with an average viewership of 5 million, and the dividends from American cable TV are 100 million US dollars a year.

Now the fans and the media are most concerned about whether Kobe will respond? Will other scorers respond?

…

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

Kobe was so angry that he wanted to smash the cup, but his daughter was sleeping next to him, and he was afraid of waking her up, so he gnashed his teeth.

After throwing 39 times, Kobe was convinced by Liu Mang. He has been playing for the ninth season, and he has only taken so many shots in 3 games. Liu Mang seems to have taken at least 39 shots in 4 games after this game!

Kobe seemed to have a fight with Liu Mang, but he had thrown more than 30 times a few hours ago, and he was exhausted. In the end, he relied on perseverance to get 54 points. Unexpectedly, more than four hours later, the opponent immediately returned 55 points!

It's really a fight!

Let Kobe get 56 points again. If it was him last season, he felt that it was no problem at all, but now... After playing for a month, Kobe has already felt the burden of weight gain.

He has realized that this weight gain is a wrong choice, mainly because he didn't expect Butler to be very good. Butler also does a good job of relying on his body to make a killing in the interior. After Kobe gained weight, he had a conflict with his new teammates in terms of playing style, and forced Butler to practice spot three-point catch and shoot.

But now, it's too late for Kobe to lose weight. He has trained muscles. With his perseverance, he can lose weight in one month, but to lose muscle, he must have a gradual process of reducing protein intake and training.

Kobe is so angry: When I lose weight next year, I will fight this bastard!

…

…

On December 5, the Lakers played back-to-back against the Pistons, and as expected, they were beaten. Kobe made only 8 of 24 shots, scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists. The Lakers were beaten by the Pistons by 40 points, 72 to 112.

Kobe obviously couldn't throw anymore. The Lakers started the season very well. After losing to the Pistons, they are still ranked sixth in the West. The record of 11 wins and 8 losses is still very good for the Lakers' current lineup, but the problem is in back-to-back games. Kobe didn't have the feeling of unlimited physical strength in the past, and he withered in back-to-back games.

People are still looking forward to Kobe's response again. T.N.T also broadcast this game, but unfortunately it didn't make T.N.T a lot of money like the Hawks played against the Raptors.

Liu Mang watched the game with Xiao Loli at home, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kobe's sluggish look.

If Kobe plays again, the next game will be between the Hawks and the Bulls. Wow, the Bulls are not as easy to bully as the Raptors. They are a truly strong team that has risen!

After getting 50+ back to back, Liu Mang's rogue value skyrocketed. In the past two days, he has increased by more than 1.4 million rogue values. After the Lakers and Pistons game, Liu Mang's rogue value increased slightly again, breaking through 30 million and rising to 33.02 million.

Liu Mang is working hard for rogue value now. On the one hand, he wants to have 100 million rogue value to freely choose talent skills after defeating Wade and James, two stars of the same generation, and suppressing them. On the other hand, he also wants to try what he will get in the ultimate lottery of 100 million rogue value.

The superstar value has increased a lot in these two games. Now there are 87076 superstar points. There are more of them at the beginning of the season. There is still enough for the time being. Liu Mang plans to save 100,000 superstar points before the All-Star Weekend. Of course, the more the better. At the All-Star Weekend, he will find a famous player to learn low-post back-to-the-basket.

The team's ability to attack the basket in positional warfare is still a bit poor. Although McGrady seems to know everything, he relies on his physical talent and basketball IQ to do it. He is not the same type as Liu Mang. He can't learn from McGrady. Some techniques, McGrady can learn by looking at them and trying them. He can't even tell the reason.

Every time he asks McGrady, McGrady says: "Just play like this."

Liu Mang seems to open McGrady's head to see what this is!

Liu Mang is worried that Kobe will get angry again. After all, in his memory, Kobe was too scary in the three years after leaving O'Neal and before Gasol came. He could get 16 or 17 times 50+ in a season.

Fortunately, it was Kobe who made the mistake in strengthening himself.

Just when Liu Mang was relieved, he saw the game report of the game that just ended.

"Fuck! Your sister..."

Liu Mang couldn't help but swear: "Shorty, did I eat your rice or steal your dog food? Is it that serious?"
