Chapter 891 890. Miracle, Madness (Asking for Double Monthly Tickets)
When McGrady made the free throw, the Spurs' hopes were completely wiped out. Ginobili threw the ball to Horry, and the Hawks didn't even need to defend Horry's three-pointer. The ball was still in the air, and the whistle for the end of the game had already sounded.
Looking at Liu Mang and McGrady surrounded by their teammates and cheering wildly, the Spurs players didn't react to what happened.
What did those two guys do?
It ended like this? The Spurs players felt like they were dreaming.
It was too ridiculous, too surreal, and the Spurs players couldn't believe what they saw.
Parker was scared silly. After the whistle for the end of the game sounded, he just looked at Liu Mang like that and began to doubt his life.
Parker pinched his thigh, it hurt, this was real, not a dream!
There was no time to react at all. The 9-point lead was just over two minutes ago, and the game time was only 37 seconds, but when he had no time to react at all, the score was reversed, and he lost!
During this period, Parker touched the ball for a total of four or five seconds, and then he lost like that!
Parker, who had suffered from being bullied twice a year by Liu Mang, couldn't believe that he had a chance to beat Liu Mang. Maybe the team could beat the Hawks, but Parker felt that he would never be able to beat Liu Mang in his life.
Parker was born in May 1982, and he had just turned 19 when he entered the NBA. He was quite young, but Liu Mang was younger, born in August 1982. Parker thought that he couldn't survive Liu Mang even if he aged. Now his strength was not as good as Liu Mang, and his progress was far slower than Liu Mang...
The more he thought about Parker, the more pitiful he felt.
Why did he have Liu... Parker probably has this mentality now.
Among the players of the 2001 class, Parker felt that his only opponent was Liu Mang. As for Arenas, Arenas was very powerful, but Parker would explode with Arenas, and when he met Liu Mang, both of them were beaten.
Ginobili kept scratching his head, and suddenly, it seemed that a few hairs were flying in the air...
He was beaten by that guy again! Ginobili thought of being beaten every time he met Liu Mang. This time, he finally looked like he was going to win, but the other party actually did this.
Ginobili was the only one of the three who lived in reality. He blamed himself madly for his two mistakes. The two pass errors directly led to the Hawks getting 8 points!
Duncan did not come to comfort Ginobili at this time. He looked at the score on the big screen.
What happened? Why did the score difference turn upside down? Why did we lose? By the way, who am I? Where is this place? Why am I here? What am I doing? Where am I going next? ...
Duncan, who has been self-studying for a master's degree in behaviorist psychology for the past two years, just completed his master's defense last summer and became a master of psychology at Wake Forest University. A professor of behaviorist psychology has already invited him to join his research group as a doctoral student, but he has not yet agreed. Now he is questioning his soul.
Duncan didn't look strange. He looked at the big screen for a while, and even his evil hands forgot to absorb some of someone's youth to keep himself young. He turned and walked towards the player channel. He ignored everyone. He was thinking about the meaning of life now...
Popovich, the angry old man, didn't have time to get angry today. From being full of pride to losing the game, it took just over two minutes, including timeouts, fouls, free throws... It only took more than two minutes in total. There was no time to react. When the game ended, Popovich stood on the sidelines like that.
This has been countless times. They have the most stable style in the league. When they are reversed by the opponent, they can't make an effective response at all, because they are stable, but they can't play beyond the team's existing strength. They can only play their existing strength to the limit, but they can't exceed this limit.
The three Spurs and the head coach all looked confused. The other players didn't know whether to follow Duncan to the locker room or stay on the scene with the head coach and the two outside core players. The whole team was in a state of confusion.
The fans at the scene were completely confused at first, but as the game ended and time passed, the fans at the scene also reacted and booed wildly at the Hawks players who were celebrating at the scene.
But this booing made Parker and Ginobili feel like they were booing themselves!
"Go to hell, big dog..."
"Go to hell, big dog..."
"Go to hell, big dog..."
As the booing continued, the fans at the scene rioted and shouted "Dog belt" madly at Glenn Robinson, which means go to hell, big dog.
Glenn Robinson was hated by the Spurs fans. This guy was unlucky wherever he went!
The fans all felt that their loss was directly related to Glenn Robinson watching McGrady shoot a three-pointer without any interference!
Some fans wanted to rush into the court, but were stopped by security. Fortunately, after the Auburn Hills Palace incident, the security of all teams was very strict to prevent that kind of thing from happening again, so the fans were unable to rush into the court.
The sudden riot of the fans startled the Eagles coaching staff, who quickly took the players back to the locker room, even ignoring the media who came up to interview them...
...
...
In 37 seconds, McGrady had 10 points and 2 assists, Liu Mang had 7 points and 2 assists, and the two of them scored 17 points and 4 assists together. The two completed the miracle together!
Liu Mang scored 55 points, his 14th 40+ and fourth 50+ this season, but neither of them made the headlines.
The Eagles' post-game news was immediately published on major sports portals in China and the United States the moment the game ended, and it directly became the headlines!
The headline of sports news in the United States is "God comes to San Antonio", and the headline of sports news in China is "The Moment of Maimang".
Liu Mang's 55 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists have been forgotten, as has McGrady's 27 points and 14 assists. Everyone's focus is on Maimang's moment.
The Maimang moment and the God moment are different names given by China and the United States to this reversal led by Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady.
Listening to the system constantly talking about the skyrocketing rogue value in the tens of thousands, Liu Mang asked the system to compile the statistics and look at it when he had time.
He is now even more shocked than the Spurs to have accomplished such a thing!
Originally...Liu Mang really didn't think that much.
Liu Mang felt so incredible after the game!
Liu Mang originally had no idea how McGrady felt after having sex for 35 seconds and 13 minutes in the previous time and space.
At one point when he was watching basketball, he encountered a team that was seven or eight points behind in one minute and gave up. At this time, he would wonder, what was McGrady's mood like when he scored 13 points in 35 seconds?
Are you happy? excited? pride? Or more confident?
But after finishing, Liu Mang found that those very positive emotions were all wrong, there was only an incredible feeling and nothing else.
In short, Liu Mang only felt this way. He couldn't imagine why he was so motivated and active on the court.
Looking back now, Liu Mang still feels like it was like a dream. Just like that, 37 seconds of game time, a total of two minutes and fifteen seconds, he and Tracy McGrady completed what people call a miracle.
Even Liu Mang himself thought it was a miracle!
After the game, in order to avoid accidents caused by crazy celebrations, the Eagles coaching staff hurriedly took the players back to the locker room without even bothering to conduct post-game interviews.
The Spurs fans were indeed silent at the last moment, but with such extreme silence and anger, God knows what will happen. When the fans started to riot, the Eagles were so frightened that they hurried back to the locker room.
Liu Mang sat on a stool in the bathroom, listening to the crazy celebrations of the players outside. He smiled and leaned against the wall, letting the water rush to his head and stay.
This is a good reflection of the Hawks' team atmosphere. Although Jason Terry did not play at the last minute, he was not jealous. Although Kwame Brown and Mourning were benched for a long time because they were beaten by Duncan, they were not jealous. Discouraged, they discussed together how to deal with Duncan, but these two people had been beaten by Duncan all the time, and together they couldn't think of a way...
The Eagles have always had a good team atmosphere and are gradually flourishing in the direction of team culture.
Liu Mang did not go out to follow the carnival. He came in to take a bath alone, and told him not to disturb him until he finished taking a bath.
After completing such a miracle, Liu Mang felt empty.
There is a feeling of loneliness.
Liu Mang has always felt that the word loneliness is very special.
Living alone without relatives or friends is called loneliness, but it is not loneliness.
If you fail to do something, get scolded, be isolated, and lick your wounds alone in a corner, that's not called loneliness, that's called silent anger.
I was dumped by my girlfriend and I was drinking alone on the rooftop. I felt like I was the only one left in the world. That wasn’t called loneliness, but sadness.
Liu Mang feels that the word loneliness is unique to Chinese and cannot be translated completely correctly in English, French, Japanese, and other languages.
Solitary means king, and being alone means being different...
That's right, Liu Mang is showing off again, but it's a pity that no one saw it.
But he consciously understood the true meaning of loneliness and enjoyed the happiness of silent pretense alone...
As for McGrady, he was originally excited. The moment he walked into the tunnel, a completely uncontrollable feeling of exhaustion suddenly poured into his body. His whole body suddenly lost all strength, his legs became weak, and he almost fell to the ground. , fortunately, he hooked Iguodala's neck and forced him back to the locker room.
Now McGrady is watching his teammates carnival in the locker room. He really wants to join in, but with his normal personality and his body now as tired as a dog, he can only look at it with a silly smile, wanting to find a place to lie down. But I couldn't lie down, I had to pretend to be cool and show off my cool temperament...
…
At the press conference after the game, Liu Mang saw the battle and it was amazing!
On the Eagles side, coach Kruger brought Liu Mang to the press conference. On McGrady's side, after watching the revelry of his teammates, Liu Mang came out of the shower. McGrady was about to take a shower, but when he stood up, his legs almost gave out. He fell to the ground, but fortunately the person next to him reacted quickly and caught him.
After examination by the team doctor, McGrady showed symptoms of dehydration and was sent to the hospital. The unlucky kid felt refreshed for only 37 seconds and then had to lie down for three days.
I don’t know how many reporters came from Houston. Originally, this game was broadcast live on the Imperial TV station, and there were many Chinese media. But as a result, all the major domestic media stationed in Houston came!
Compared with Duncan on the Spurs who didn't say a word and Popovich who looked livid and answered with no answers, Coach Kruger on the Eagles was full of energy.
What the media asked most was what Coach Kruger was thinking, that he would use such a crazy lineup to accomplish such a crazy thing in the end.
Coach Kruger had no idea what the guy who sent out this lineup was thinking, but he was also very excited, so he said nonsense: "Oh, I just want to give it a try. We don't want to lose two games in a row to the Western Conference team. We can't accept this, so we decided to fight for the last time, and that's it, we won."
Coach Kruger is so good at pretending that he doesn't even blush when pretending.
Popovich now finds that the opponent he fears most is not the Zen Master, but the guy in front of him.
Originally, after the Lakers drove away the Zen Master, Popovich felt that he could rest easy. He didn't care about Larry Brown, because he knew that his teacher was out of date. D'Antoni, a fast break player, Popovich didn't care at all, even if he lost one or two games. Tomjanovich was a tough opponent, but unfortunately, the old coach was in poor health and was already discussing resignation with the Lakers.
Popovich is still confident that he can beat young coaches like Carlisle and Kruger, who have only been in the team for a few years, in terms of tactics.
But now, seeing that Coach Kruger has made many strange moves, Coach Carlisle's lineup is like that, but he is still firmly in the ranks of playoff contenders. Carlisle is fine, but his lineup has collapsed, and the Hawks have now formed a super young lineup, eliminating the potential aging risk of Ratliff. The future will only get better and better. Popovich's most feared opponent has become Coach Kruger.
When Popovich was asked about the reversal, Popovich said: "Yes, you saw it, and I saw it too. The best player and the second best player in the world are on the same team."
It's obviously trying to sow discord! Plus malicious forced flattery! At this time, Popovich did not forget to play a trick on the Hawks.
Saying that the world's strongest basketball player and the second strongest basketball player are on the same team, but not ranking them, is obviously intended to cause infighting in the Hawks.
The media immediately began to add fuel to the fire, asking Liu Mang: "Ace, who do you think is the best player in the world, you or T-MAC?"
"Me and Tracy? Nonsense, of course it's me." Liu Mang answered without hesitation.
"..." So direct? So straightforward? The media found that they still didn't understand Liu Mang.
Aren't you afraid that McGrady will be dissatisfied?
The media, who had been prepared for how to continue asking questions if Liu Mang said something polite, didn't know what to say, and could only bite the bullet and ask a question: "Ace, how did you and T-MAC accomplish such a miracle?"
"Miracle? What is that? We just threw the ball out and it fell into the basket. It's no big deal." Liu Mang pretended to be powerful and threw aside all the "loneliness" he had just felt in the bathroom.
"..."
Looking at this pair of pretentious master and apprentice, the reporters felt that they were not suitable for this job. They were so tired...
...
The low attention of the NBA in the middle of the season was saved again and again by the Hawks!
All major TV stations began to scramble to broadcast the remaining games of the Hawks.
Originally, the two away games between the Hawks and Magic were not broadcast live, and the last game of the season against the Celtics was not broadcast live either, but now they are all being broadcasted.
David Stern looked at the secretary's report, which said that the game between the Hawks and the Spurs became the top searched game on China's online search engine BJ time before 12:00 on January 22. When he saw that the keyword search on the Internet in the United States that night, God's Moment ranked first, his face was about to burst into laughter, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Liu Mang and McGrady created such a miracle.
Isn't this the same as the NBA's slogan? The place where miracles are born!
The headline given by the NBA official website is that miracles are born!
David Stern opened the forum and opened the post-match posts of the Hawks and Spurs. Every time he refreshed, there were hundreds of replies. He couldn't help but smile like a chrysanthemum again, and he also laughed.
The middle-aged female secretary who had just opened the door and saw that she had something to say to David Stern was so scared when she heard David Stern's sinister smile that she didn't dare to go in: What is the boss watching? Is it a small movie? What does this old man want to do to me?
…
The fans are crazy, the league president is crazy, the players in the NBA, the coaches and the management of each team are also crazy.
According to unreliable intelligence, an unreliable gossip sports magazine revealed that at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the door of the Toyota Center training hall in Los Angeles was pried open, and then there was a continuous sound of iron hammering in the Toyota Center.
Half an hour after the Spurs and the Hawks ended, the 76ers and the Pacers also ended. When Iverson heard the reporter about what Liu Mang and McGrady had done, his eyes widened: "What? Are you kidding me... Well, God, if it's Ace, I'm not surprised at all."
Larry Bird said in an interview: "If Michael is the incarnation of God on the court, then after Michael retires, God's new incarnation is Ace and Tracy. If Michael is the Holy Lord, then Ace and Tracy are the Son and the Holy Spirit!"
Holy Lord, Son, Holy Spirit, are all titles of Jesus that Americans believe in! They also refer to God!
Larry Bird, the head coach of the Pacers, also watched the game. He had no interest in watching his own team's games. He watched the game between the Hawks and the Spurs in the office. When he saw the Spurs rely on Ginobili's rampage at the beginning and then use stability to hold on to the lead of a few points, he seemed to see a way to deal with the Hawks and the Suns, but he didn't expect the Hawks to accomplish such a miracle. After the game, he couldn't help but give Liu Mang and McGrady nicknames.
This night in the American sports world and the daytime in the Chinese sports world, all basketball fans and basketball people were crazy!
