If we say that he was second in the scoring list before and could get 50 in his previous rookie season, Liu Mang has already made people feel crazy.

This time Liu Mang made 23 of 42 shots, 7 of 12 three-pointers, and 12 of 14 free throws. He scored 65 points. With a large number of shots, his shooting rate of 50% soared to 65 points!

The second 60 in a single game since the new century!

After O'Neal scored 61 points in a single game on March 6, 2000, the league's second 60 points! The league is excited!

Not to mention that this was still "affected by injuries"!

It's incomparable to the 1990s. At that time, there was David Robinson who scored more than 70 points in a single game, and Jordan had N scoring champions in a row. Liu Mang is still far behind them.

But after the New Century League introduced hand-check, the league can start to defend and double-team in advance to limit O'Neal and Duncan, two superstars who are too powerful and can even compete with Jordan and Chamberlain, but the outside players are more restricted.

, and after entering modern basketball, outside players are usually the team's main scorers. They can double-team in advance and can defend, making it more difficult for outside players to score. In the past few years, Iverson, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady have stood out.

He is an outside scorer, and other outsiders are quite miserable. Especially this year, it is terrible. Liu Mang averages less than 27 points per game, and he is already second in the scoring list.

People have been looking forward to the appearance of 60, but it would be good to have a few 50s in a year. It has been almost 4 years and there has been no 60 scorer in a single game.

People expected Kobe, Iverson, and Tracy McGrady, the three super scorers who had averaged 30 points per game, to score 60 points for the second time in the new century. Unexpectedly, when 60 points in a single game appeared, it was not recognized by these three.

The league's strongest scorer, but the second-place scorer who probably averaged the lowest points per game except for the lockout season became the new 60-scorer in a single game.

Except for the suspended 98-99 season, in NBA history, Liu Mang's previous average of 26.6 points per game was the lowest among players who ranked second in the single-season scoring list in the NBA since Wilt Chamberlain came out in the 1960s to start the scoring boom.

of.

Therefore, Liu Mang's second place in the scoring list has never been recognized. Everyone thinks that Liu Mang can be ranked second because most of the scorers this year have teamed up and did not score so high that Liu Mang can maintain his ranking.

two.

Maybe this is the case, but this time Liu Mang increased his scoring average to 28.5 points per game with 65 points in a single game, suddenly making his scoring average in line with the level of a real second place in the scoring list.

People began to take Liu Mang's strength seriously!

When Liu Mang scored 60 points, the fans in front of the TV were subdued, and the Spurs team became silent.

When this news came to those fans who did not have time or did not want to watch the game after the game, the fans' first reaction was that they were joking. Bowen stepped down in the first quarter. After they were sure that it was not a joke,

, Liu Mang’s performance shocked the basketball circle!

…

…

It's night, and the entire NBA can't calm down.

Liu Mang kept his word and used the Spurs as a stepping stone for the Eagles to start their journey to the top.

65 points in a single game set a new high in a single game since the new century. He scored 65 points against the Spurs, which is very valuable.

Bowen suffered a black foot but suffered a self-inflicted ankle injury. He may have encountered the most serious crisis in his career. Many people even cursed Bowen to retire.

Liu Mang's game gave basketball fans a sleepless night.

60 points in a single game only happens once in a few years. It is better than Jordan, and the time to get 60 points is not as fast as Liu Mang. Liu Mang was the fastest player to get 60 points in a single game after entering modern basketball in 1976. In 1976, ABA and NBA

Before the merger, the overall strength of the NBA was not as strong as expected. The ABA once had more money and was more popular with fans. However, it was only because there was no good management that the players violated the fans' bottom line unscrupulously, and they were pulled by the sharp-sighted former Secretary of the United States Postal Service.

After the annexation of the NBA under the control of Lee O'Brien, the NBA was considered the real NBA. After that, the overall strength of the NBA became stronger and individual heroism gradually weakened. Except for Jordan, there was no player who could completely dominate the scoring list.

The number of high scores has gradually become less and less. Scores of 50 in a single game are rare in a season, and scores of 60 in a single game only occur once every three or four years.

Fans who did not watch the game live or live because of personal preferences or work or study reasons were filled with regret. Countless fans wanted to find the game video after the game, calling and sending emails to T.N.T and ESPN.

Two TV stations with broadcast rights wanted them to rebroadcast the game.

Liu Mang's counterattack in the first two seasons allowed him to establish a strong fan base in Atlanta and even Georgia. He gradually developed the kind of fan base that Iverson had in Philadelphia, and allowed him to establish a fan base among the Chinese fan base.

, but in the eyes of most non-Eagles fans, Liu Mang is still not that popular and has offended too many people.

But this time, the fans were really impressed!

Being arrogant and daring to offend others has become a highlight at this time.

If you have strength, you will be called arrogance if you are arrogant. If you offend talents, you will offend others. In the eyes of fans, you are arrogant and confident.

Being arrogant without strength and offending others is not called arrogance, but stupidity.

Liu Mang was originally regarded as somewhere between arrogance and stupidity in the minds of fans. His evaluation in the minds of fans was mixed, which was also the reason why when he was highly praised by the league, he offended everyone in the league except the Eagles fans.

But now, relying on that program and his performance against the Spurs, Liu Mang has truly become a representative of arrogance in people's eyes!

A little arrogant and conceited, but it doesn't matter. When Liu Mang has this strength and performs like this, the fans feel that Liu Mang is worthy of such arrogance!

…

…

He scored 65 points, which caused a sensation in the basketball world, but Liu Mang was not complacent about it.

Of course, his teammates all went to be interviewed and have fun in the nightclub. Liu Mang returned to the hotel alone to take a bath and rest to prevent himself from getting carried away.

He knows that that ability does not belong to him, but because of Ginobili's star card, he can shoot left and right. Let alone the Spurs, there is probably no team in the entire league that can guard him in that state. Liu Mang is very sure.

, coupled with his invincible physical fitness, Duncan will not be as strong as he is in this game.

But precisely because of this, after Liu Mang finished the game, he kept reminding himself that this was not his true strength, so don't think that he is invincible because of this.

Just like what I thought when I made the decision to become an enemy of the entire alliance, I can be arrogant, but I have to know my own strength and position myself correctly. I can be arrogant, but I have to understand how much I weigh, and I have to start from the right perspective.

The direction is to hit the championship, instead of drifting away after one game.

After the game, as the protagonist, Liu Mang did not accept an interview. Instead, he took a shower, followed the team doctor to the hospital for an MRI, and then returned to the hotel.

During the process, many outside stars who had Liu Mang's phone number called Liu Mang. Bowen was fucked by Liu Mang, which made his popularity skyrocket from a certain perspective! Especially among the top outside stars in the league, he suddenly became widely known.

He was well received, even Kidd, who didn't like him, didn't know where to get a phone number and sent him a text message, saying: Good job brother!

The most excited person was undoubtedly Carter. Liu Mang seemed to hear from the phone the joy that Carter had just laughed out loud in the toilet.

Liu Mang couldn't help but sigh. Carter was really psychologically affected by Bowen. Now he is so excited when he sees Bowen getting injured. He doesn't have the so-called friendly mentality of "friendship first, competition second".

Carter, a person with extremely high emotional intelligence, knows how much people hate Bowen.

After returning to the hotel, Liu Mang soaked in the bathtub, closing his eyes and recalling the almost omnipotent feeling in the game against the Spurs. He could shoot from any position and switch between his left and right hands at the basket. At the same time, because of his left hand,

It's a pity that COSCO is not used to being able to shoot a few three-pointers with his left hand, and this kind of opportunity is rare. Liu Mang tried his best to impress himself with that feeling.

Although it is difficult to get another star card of a left-handed superstar and a star with such a high degree of compatibility, and it may be difficult to try this again in the future, this gives Liu Mang a clearer future development direction!

Most of the offensive abilities on the right side that Liu Mang could have improved have already been developed. There is a low post, but due to height and weight restrictions, the low post can only be used as the fourth or fifth offensive option, and even ranks below mid-range shots without the ball.

The first offensive method is still three-pointers, the second is to break through the basket, then the pick-and-roll cooperation, and the fourth and fifth are off-ball offense and low-post singles.

Even if high posts are developed in the future, as the difference between point guards and shooting guards is getting smaller and smaller, Liu Mang feels that for a tall point guard like himself, the opponent will definitely use shooting guards and small forwards to defend him.

, and it is already like this. Unless it is like the Nets, where the point guard is the first outside defender, which is rare, otherwise Liu Mang will always face someone taller and stronger than him, and he can only serve as a support in post-up singles.

means of attack.

Of course, Liu Mang must develop powerful offensive methods such as high and low posts as much as possible. Three-pointers and basket attacks. Future rules will be very beneficial to these two points. Likewise, three-pointers and basket attacks.

As a result, defense will become more important, and various mid-range offensive methods will begin to be abandoned by the league. At the same time, defense in this area will become weaker and weaker, which will in turn make mid-range superstars more difficult to defend.

Just like Jordan said, if the defense is used ten years later, he can average 40 points per game in the NBA. Maybe more than half of the points are mid-range shots. As for the other half...butt enthusiasts have proved that free throws can also become the main offensive method.

.

But there is a ceiling for a person's ability in one aspect. Although he is only in the third grade, Liu Mang clearly feels that he is about to touch his ceiling. Liu Mang knows that most of his points are scored by his ball-handling offense.

Concentrate on the right side of the basket. The left side of the basket is mostly for catching and shooting without the ball. When you are limited to attacking with the ball on the right side, the opponent's defense will target you. Whether it is a three-pointer, a low post or a breakthrough, no matter how comprehensive it is, it will not be possible.

Too big of a difference.

Liu Mang knows that he is becoming more and more popular now, not the kind that people think of as a counterattack, but the kind that has really been taken seriously. This can be seen from the fact that the Spurs guarded against his right attack from the beginning.

, it’s just that he suddenly was able to attack with his left hand, catching the Spurs off guard.

Liu Mang thinks that this year may be okay. He has just broken out from the counterattack team and has the ability to be close to the top stars. With the strong lineup of the team, he has enough offensive space on the right side, but what about the future?

Liu Mang has always had a deep sense of worry, fearing that he would be eliminated by the era of rapid development that the NBA is about to enter.

Basketball in the future will be very different from now and in the past. The main reason is that the salaries of NBA players in the early 1990s have skyrocketed, which has made many parents of children willing to train their children to play basketball before they even know what basketball is. In the future, ordinary league players

The overall strength of players will be greatly improved after the players born in the 1985s and 1990s enter the NBA. Stars like Olajuwon and Mutombo who only started to play basketball at the age of 18 or 19 will become less and less in the future.

Liu Mang feels a lot of pressure in the future.

Therefore, Liu Mang decided to try to develop his left hand ability while strengthening his strongest three-pointers, attacking with his feet at the basket, expanding his offensive range, and practicing mid-range shots and post-up shots!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is a bit broad to talk about developing the ability of the left hand, mainly to develop the ball-holding offensive ability on the left side of the basket!

…

After taking a bath, he repeatedly recalled the details of the game against the Spurs. Liu Mang recalled it so hard that he couldn't even remember the details, but Liu Mang felt very comfortable with that feeling.

After the bathing and dressing ceremony was over, Liu Mang returned to the bed, crossed his legs, and opened the system panel. A large number of prompts nearly overwhelmed him.

"Ding... I got 60 points in a single game for the first time in my career, and I will be rewarded with superstar points."

"Ding... if you get 60 in a single game, you will be rewarded with superstar points."

"Ding... Defeat the Spurs. Atlanta's Heart of the Strong mission is completed. Reward feature: cold-blooded. Reward the host team with the Heart of the Strong buff."
