Chapter 875 874. The Strongest Scorer in History

"A man who can score better than God: At the end of this season, the host must average more points per game than Michael Jordan in the 1986-1987 season. Mission reward: Michael Jordan 1986-1987 season star card. Failure penalty: 100,000 superstars value."

"I fucked you #￥%#￥%..." After Liu Mang saw the specific content of the mission, he couldn't help but cursed.

At this time, his teammates had just come in after being interviewed, but Liu Mang ran away first. The media could only grab other members of the Eagles and ask them how they felt about the loss.

I was depressed when I lost after playing so well, and was dragged by the media to talk about my "feelings on losing." Because Francis played with Yao Ming, he had a "Chinese color". Although there was no live broadcast, Many domestic media also came to interview me.

With 24 three-pointers made in a single game, the SuperSonics had a blast in this game. The Hawks could only lose by 4 points. In addition to relying on the Hawks' own offense, they also relied on the SuperSonics' defense. Even the Suns were Not as good as.

When the best defensive player on a team is Ray Allen, you know how bad the team's defense is.

It's not that Ray Allen's defense is bad, but that their interior defense is not as good as an outside defender, and he is still a mid-level outside defender.

Ray Allen's three-point shooting rating of 94 also shocked Liu Mang. His movement without the ball, fast shooting after catching the ball, and the continuity after finding the touch are all so amazing.

It’s not that the three-point gap between Liu Mang and Ray Allen is that big. They are both at the top three-point level. 90 to 94 are all top-level three-pointers in history. It’s just that Ray Allen reached the peak first, but Ray Allen has arrived. At his peak, he did not have a daily three-point ability that exceeded 95. Liu Mang experienced Klay Thompson's daily three-point ability in his first game in the NBA.

The main reason is that Ray Allen is very good at attacking without the ball, which allows his three-pointers to be more effective. Liu Mang can play without the ball, but no matter what, he cannot achieve the kind of off-ball ability that Ray Allen has. Liu Mang After all, he is still a player who focuses on holding the ball and attacking.

The SuperSonics became the second team in NBA history to hit 20 three-pointers in a single game, breaking the previous record of 20 three-pointers in a regular season held by the Pacers and improving by four points. !

The team that originally broke the Pacers' three-point shooting record in time and space should be the Raptors. The Raptors made 21 three-pointers without hesitation at the end of the season. Now they are composed of a shooting team plus Francis, a master of sudden points. The number of teams was directly increased to 24.

This record is a bit hard to break. Liu Mang remembers that until 2018, no team had ever made 25 three-pointers in a single game.

Indeed, even a god-level three-point team like the SuperSonics can shoot more than 20 three-pointers in a game. A team throws 42 three-pointers in a game, as many times as possible. Lang, this is a very low probability thing, so it makes the Eagles players even more depressed.

As soon as they returned to the locker room, they heard Liu Mang scolding them in words they didn't understand. Judging by his expression and his ferocious tone, it was clear at a glance that the words were not good.

This shocked the Eagles players who didn't guard the opponent's shot!

McGrady came up and enlightened: "Ace, we are also very disappointed when we lost this game. It's a pity that we didn't win 10 consecutive games. Don't be angry."

"Uh..." Liu Mang finally realized and dumped his emotions on his teammates. He didn't care about this. Teammates, sometimes they have to be scolded... but they seemed to have misunderstood. …

Liu Mang lost to the Sonics and Francis. It was indeed quite depressing, but no matter what, it was just a regular season game. Liu Mang would only put pressure on his teammates before playing against his opponents in the next game. There will be other things to do next. The game has to be played.

Now with such a task involving 100,000 superstars, Liu Mang no longer cares about Francis. Wouldn't it be better to let them fight to the death with the teams in the West? With Francis joining the Sonics, it may cause more trouble for the Spurs and Mavericks. Speaking of which, Liu Mang thinks this is a good thing.

Seeing that his teammates were all silent, Liu Mang started thinking: "It's okay, I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding myself for not guarding Ray Allen."

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he turned around and went to the bathroom with a bath towel.

If you seize the opportunity to show off well, sometimes unexpected situations will occur. Just like now, the teammates are not only depressed and unhappy, but also more moved: the team boss is actually blaming himself for failing to guard his opponent. If you still blame your opponent for shooting too accurately, shouldn't you blame yourself for not causing enough interference?

Liu Mang accidentally pretended to be a very successful pussy again...

…

…

After taking a shower, Liu Mang went home and used his computer to calculate his average points per game after the game, which was 36.1 points.

What was Jordan's scoring average in the 1986-87 season? Liu Mang looked at the mission interface.

"Scoring King Task Branch: A man who can score better than God: Completion: 36.1/37.2. Note: Michael Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game in the 1986-1987 season, the third year of his career."

Indeed, 37.1 points per game was Jordan's scoring average in his third year... But this was the highest scoring average in the NBA after the 1970s, more than 40 years ago!

Only Chamberlain and Baylor averaged more points per game than Jordan in his third year, but both of them were players in the 1960s!

Can it be compared?

Jordan's third-year star card is actually worth 100,000 superstar value!

But Liu Mang also thinks it's worth it. Jordan's star card in his rookie season is so amazing, and his third-year scoring star card... Liu Mang really wants to get it!

Moreover, you can’t fail this mission, otherwise the superstar value of 100,000 will be too much!

Liu Mang thought about it and realized that he had played 36 games this season and averaged 36.1 points per game. By the end of the season, he would have to improve on this basis by at least 1.1 points.

Liu Mang turned on his computer, opened his calculator, and racked his brains to recall elementary school mathematics. Finally... he still couldn't figure it out...

With no other choice, Liu Mang could only open the forum and open a small account to ask for help from all-powerful netizens.

Not surprisingly, when Liu Mang posted the post "How many points does my male idol Liu Mang need to average this season to surpass Jordan's 37.1 points per game?" in the domestic forum, during the day in China, this post immediately Zi is on fire.

There is no doubt that Liu Mang was ridiculed, ridiculed, and attacked again, and then Liu Mang led his allies to retaliate.

But in the end, the fans who had the patience to calculate allowed Liu Mang to get the answer.

Liu Mang needs to score at least 1.97 more points in each of the remaining 46 games than in the previous 36 games. This means that Liu Mang needs to score 40+ for a long time in the next season to be able to supplement the occasional low points. Due to the "deficit" in points per game.

Liu Mang was about to burst into tears!

36.1+1.97, which means you must score at least 38.1 points in every next game! If you "only" score 36 points, you'll get at least 40 points in the next game!

Liu Mang felt that God was going to kill him!

The year Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game, the Bulls were only eighth in the Eastern Conference! And that’s even when there are only 11 teams in the Eastern Conference.

Liu Mang said that he really didn’t want to be a solo actor!

It's all forced!

Scoring 40+ points 10 times in 36 games is already an exaggeration. Liu Mang averaged 33 points per game last season, but he only had 40+ points 11 times. Mainly due to stability.

This time... I have to waste it.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang became more and more excited. If he really surpassed Jordan's scoring average... that would be awesome!

After Liu Mang made up his mind to complete this task, he silently expressed that he really didn't want to be a solo!

It's all forced!

After playing the SuperSonics, the Eagles have two days of game time, and then they will play four consecutive home games against the Bobcats, Kings, Wizards, and Suns.

The national live broadcast against the Kings has been cancelled, and has become a national live broadcast against the Suns.

During the two-day break, the Eagles conducted tactical training mainly for the Kings and Suns. Although they lost to the Bobcats last time, the Eagles did not pay too much attention to the Bobcats.

The Eagles lost because of that incredible shooting percentage by the Bobcats.

And because they lost to a bottom team like the Bobcats, the Eagles will definitely be more serious this time, and the coaching staff is not worried about this game.

And for the defending champion team, the coaching staff sometimes deliberately fails to make arrangements for the two or three weakest teams in the league when there is no pressure on the record. If they lose, it can also be used to stimulate them. Player motivation, by the middle of the season, it is too easy to feel numb mentally due to the long regular season.

Like now, after the Eagles players finished the simulated training of the Kings and Suns, they spontaneously discussed how to abuse the Bobcats, which made the coaching staff very satisfied. Although the last loss to the Bobcats was an accident, it has worked now. There should be no problem with this positive attitude continuing to the end of this consecutive home game.

…

On January 12, after training on the second rest day, Liu Mang drove Tracy McGrady home, who called early in the morning to say that he had forgotten to refuel his car. He also went to a gas station to buy a barrel of gas on the way.

"Ace, thank you so much for taking me to the gas station to fill up with gas." When they arrived at the door of the villa where McGrady rented, McGrady said to Liu Mang after getting off the car.

"..." Liu Mang was speechless. He felt that he was already frugal enough, but he didn't expect to meet someone more powerful than him.

However, Liu Mang also had something he needed to tell McGrady in private.

"Tracy, I have something I want to do and I want to ask your opinion. Do you think I can do it?" Liu Mang hesitated and said.

"What's the matter? If I can help, I will try my best to help." McGrady patted his chest as if he was wrapping his body around his brother.

"Tracy, who do you think is the strongest scoring player in history?" Liu Mang asked.

"The best scorer? Jordan and Chamberlain... they are the only two players who average 30+ points per game. If it is the best, it is Jordan. He is also No. 1 in the playoffs." McGrady suddenly thought of this Both are tied for the top scorer in NBA history with an average of 30.1 points per game. Speaking of which, Jordan is more powerful. If it were not for the two years when the Wizards came back, his scoring average would have ranked first in history, instead of being tied with Chamberlain tied for first place together.

Moreover, Jordan averaged 33 points per game in the playoffs, which was much better than Chamberlain.

After McGrady answered, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Liu Mang would not ask such a question for no reason. Could it be that...

Maddie's heart pounded and she looked at Liu Mang with disbelief.

"I also think that Chamberlain may be able to average more than 30 points per game now, but I think Jordan's 37.1 points per game is the best in NBA history." Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady have the same view.

McGrady couldn't help but ask: "Ace, do you want to..."

Before McGrady finished asking, Liu Mang replied: "Tracy, you are right, I want to break Jordan's average of 37.1 points per game, you will help me, right!"
