It is not advisable to score points.

The last game against the Jazz has proven this. You can't do things that you are not good at. You are not a superstar yet. Just do what you are used to. Slowly, what you should get will come to you.

What Liu Mang wants is to fight Jordan one on one!

He didn't believe it.

The 96-year-old peak Joe couldn't handle it and was brutally tortured. This 39-year-old Joe has to fight it out no matter what!

However, the ability value is 89, averaging 23.9 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game...

Oh my God, how come this old man still looks so good? As the season progresses, he gradually regains his feeling, and his performance is more stable than at the beginning of the season. As a result, the Wizards' record has gradually improved.

The Wizards are not considered to be in the playoffs, but they can still be a troublemaker. If any team with top forwards wants to take advantage of Jordan's old age and abuse him to turn into a cancerous style of play, he will be beaten hard by the old Jordan.

Bite back hard.

However, old Jordan is still quite incomprehensible. His various skills are so good. Liu Mang looks at Jordan who can wreak havoc in the low post without Ratliff because of Ratliff's absence. He feels that it is really embarrassing!

The low-post footwork, the timing of turning around, and Kojo's unique ability to regard opportunities that others think have no chance as opportunities, and he can take the shot at the slightest opening, and he can make more than 45% of all kinds of shots that others seem to be blind.

hit rate.

Jordan averaged 22.7 shots per game this season, one less than his career average of 23.3, ranking third in the league, second only to Iverson, who averaged 27 shots per game, and Antoine, who averaged 24 shots per game.

-Walker has taken more shots than the top five scoring players such as Pierce, O'Neal, Duncan, and Carter!

At the start of the game today, Jordan, who has sufficient physical strength, started as efficiently as ever. This is the case with veterans who are in good condition. They can always rely on experience and technology to make a run at the start.

Jordan had an outstanding performance with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half of the first quarter, leading the Wizards to a 14-10 start, leading the Hawks by 4 points.

The game is officially suspended.

At this time, fans who knew Liu Mang's appearance patterns had already started cheering!

Jordan looked at the home court where yellow fans accounted for the majority. He never thought that one day, his home court would become someone else's home court. Looking at Liu Mang, who was eager to take the field and shoot hot shots, Jordan helplessly followed the fans to take pictures.

Clap your hands.

…

It's about to happen!

Coach Kruger replaced the strongest lineup currently with Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Nubel, and Muhammad.

The reason why Coach Kruger wanted to let Liu Mang rest when he was suppressed by Jordan at the beginning was because he knew that Jordan's good condition would not last the entire game.

If Jordan could score seven or eight points in each quarter like he did in the first quarter throughout the game, he would have been the scoring champion again.

The biggest feature of Jordan's peak period was not his scoring explosiveness. Of course, his scoring explosiveness was also very strong. It may not be as good as Kobe, who could score 81 points in a single game and more than 60 points in three quarters, but he is definitely the number one scoring explosive in modern basketball.

Even at the same time, he also achieved the feat of 50 points in 3 quarters.

Jordan's strongest point is his scoring stability.

Jordan once said he had the "secret" to winning the scoring title.

"In each quarter, I took 5 shots, made 3 of them, and then made 3 free throws and made two of them. Isn't it 32 points in one game? It's not that difficult to be the scorer..."

At that time, Jordan averaged a stable 32 points per game for five or six consecutive years, and his career scoring average was also 32 points per game at that time...

It was probably Jordan's words that gave birth to countless blacksmiths, especially a certain person who did not want to be named and sometimes acted like a ghost in the arena where there was no one else, howling and ghosting without the ball in his hand.

During the game, the No. 8 player is the main player.

After the timeout, Liu Mang came on the court, and the fans at the scene burst into cheers again.

When the Wizards' lineup came on the field, there were actually boos!

Of course, this is not for the 39-year-old Jordan who still averages 36 minutes per game, but for the No. 1 pick Kwame Brown, whom Jordan decided to give him another chance...

The Wizards replaced Tyronn Lue, Hamilton, Jordan, veteran rookie Laettner, and Kwame Brown.

This is probably the first time in history that the No. 1 pick was booed at home in his rookie season. The Sugarmen in 1998 still averaged 8.8 per game in their rookie season. Kwame Brown averaged 4.3 per game, which was really miserable!

Looking at Kwame Brown's numb expression, Liu Mang knew that under Jordan's hands, it was 100% impossible for him to beat him.

Jordan, who would go all out against rookies during training, was something Kwame's young mind couldn't bear...

Wait, Liu Mang remembered something...

It seems that Kwame Brown was born in 1982, that is, this high school rookie is older than himself?

Liu Mang suddenly thought of a frightening thing. He must be the youngest in the entire NBA!

"Jason, am I the youngest player in the NBA?" Liu Mang asked uncertainly.

Jason Terry was stunned for a moment, then said with a bad smile: "That's right! Otherwise, why do you think so many people are taking care of you? It's not because you don't have all your hair."

"..."

…

The referee blew the whistle to continue the game and gave the ball to Jason Terry, the Eagles' frontcourt ball.

Liu Mang received a pass from Jason Terry at the center line and advanced to the Wizards' three-point line.

The one who came to the defense was masked man Richard Hamilton, whose nose bridge had not yet suffered from habitual dislocation.

Not against Jordan?

Liu Mang was a little regretful, but it was okay. Rahim was the Eagles' biggest threat after all.

As the No. 7 pick in the draft year of 1999, Hamilton has made leaps and bounds every season since his rookie season. In his rookie year, he only averaged 9 points per game. It is not considered a parallel import, and it is certainly not good.

By his sophomore year, he averaged 17 points per game. This season he averaged 21 points per game, becoming Jordan's best helper.

If the Wizards management hadn't traded Rod Strickland, who had scored at least 15 points and 10 assists with the Wizards for two consecutive years in the past few years, and let Juwan Howard go, the Wizards could have done well this year.

Have better results.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hamilton's defense mainly depends on keeping up with the pace. The speed of 90 is not bad, mainly because of his physical fitness! He may not have much playing time, but Hamilton's performance this season

Ranked first in the NBA in terms of running mileage! And it is far ahead of second-placed Ray Allen!

Liu Mang asked Hamilton about his ability before playing singles.

"Ding...Richard Hamilton, ability value 78, offense 80, defense 72, three-pointer 70, mid-range shot 89, layup 73, speed 90, strength 72, physical fitness 99..."

Extreme running mid-range shooting monster!

His defense is average, but he is very active, which means he is a player who needs the support of a complete system on the defensive end.

Liu Mang made a Buddha-like breakthrough, and Hamilton flew directly into the air. Liu Mang reached the mid-range and passed to Rahim, who was vacated due to Jordan's assist defense. Rahim hit a short-range jumper from the baseline.

Kwame Brown didn't even want to move a few steps to cover the defense, and just played in a hazy manner.

Originally, it was easier for the old Jordan to defend Raheem with his age. Tyronn Lue was very good at defending short shooting guards like Jason Terry. The Wizards defended the Hawks pretty well.

This is why coach Kruger feels that the Wizards are not that easy to deal with, and wants to use up Jordan's physical energy first, and then chase points.

But now that Liu Mang has come on and destroyed the Wizards' worst perimeter defense, everything has become easy. Liu Mang created an open shooting opportunity for Raheem and got an assist.

As Liu Mang's strength increased, the number of assists gradually increased from one or two per game to four or five in each game. However, Liu Mang's assists in the previous 20 or even 30 games were too few.

, which is quite miserable on average.

Just looking at Liu Mang's performance in the past two months since 2002, he averaged 22 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, which is really not bad.

That's right, relying on the past two consecutive 40 points, Liu Mang has averaged over 20 points per game in the past two months, and his season average has reached 18.9 points, which is not far from the best rookie average of 20 points per game!

Being able to average 20 points per game in his rookie season is considered modern basketball in modern basketball, that is, after the two major leagues NBA and ABA merged to form the new NBA in 1976. After that, rookies who averaged 20 points per game in their rookie season can definitely be regarded as history.

Top rookies! At most one or two every year!

It's better than the 1996 generation only had Allen Iverson, the 1997 generation only had Duncan, the 1999 generation only had Brand, even the 1984 generation only had Jordan and Olajuwon, the 1992 generation only had O'Neal and Mourning, and in most years they didn't even have a game.

Rookies averaging 20.

Therefore, if Liu Mang can increase his scoring average to 20 points per game by the end of the season, he will definitely be regarded as a historical rookie!

Moreover, the substitute who averaged 20 points per game is the only one in the entire NBA history!

In transition between offense and defense, the Wizards attack.

Tyronn Lue advanced and passed the ball to Jordan, and Liu Mang followed up.

Having had a long period of training and confrontation with Jordan, Liu Mang had some experience in guarding Jordan.

This experience is... you can't prevent it! Just keep breathing and don't be tortured to death.

However, Jordan did not play in isolation this time. He just dribbled the ball like that, watching his teammates move in pick-and-rolls without the ball. Several seconds passed, and then Jordan suddenly threw the ball...

As for Hamilton and Jason Terry, Jason Terry just can’t catch up anymore! He’s so tired that he’s about to vomit blood!

Hamilton is like a perpetual motion machine. He seems to have unlimited physical strength. He keeps running around the players at full speed and constantly uses the bodies of his teammates and opponents to set up pick-and-rolls. This is especially true for Jason Terry.

Very good, very fast, but also exhausted!

After Hamilton tired his opponent, he caught the ball and hit a long two-point shot!

Yes, Hamilton's three-point shooting can only be considered good, far from being excellent. He has no breakthrough ability and no finishing ability at the basket. He is not even as good as Liu Mang's finishing ability at the basket before his strength improvement. He has very few free throws and averages per game.

With 21 points and only 3 free throws per game, Liu Mang averaged 18.9 points and 5 free throws per game...
