683. The end of the Kings(2/2)
After coming back, Adelman will definitely put Webber back into the core position. After all, this is the top ten paid player in the league, but the team's strength will definitely fluctuate greatly because of this!
The key is that Adelman has to let Webber play more time to find his condition! Good coaches are very sensitive. Adelman clearly feels that the tacit understanding the team originally cultivated when Webber was away may have to be replaced.
Nothing left!
…
After returning from the timeout, the two teams began to rotate.
Since Stockton played the entire game in the last game, he probably had to rest for several days. Liu Mang took the field with a lineup of Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Rasheed Wallace.
The Kings didn't make any substitutions, they just changed their style of play. Webb no longer had the opportunity to play in isolation and became a pick-and-roll organizer, using his mid-range shooting ability and downfield ability to help Bibby organize the offense.
It's just that this style of play makes Webb unhappy. He is lazy during pick-and-rolls, which is the same reason why Webber was traded in history. Every time he encounters this situation, he will be unhappy and his playing will get worse.
Although the Kings' offense began to improve a lot after Bibby regained control of the ball, Peja finally had a chance to catch the ball and shoot. He had already noticed that Liu Mang was unhappy. He had already wanted to counterattack after seeing Liu Mang score 11 points in the first half.
It's just that Weber keeps grabbing the ball. I'm very unhappy but can't do anything about it.
The Kings' offense has improved, and the Eagles' offense is even sharper!
It's still about beating Weber. Liu Mang is very sorry for Weber's situation. Although Weber is only 31 years old, he is obviously in the twilight of his career as he returns from a serious injury. But as an opponent, Liu Mang will not be soft.
The opponent has a weakness, so of course you have to attack it carefully! I am not a philanthropist, and there is no such thing as "respecting the old and loving the young" in the game. In the first few minutes, I tried to use Weber's loophole to target the Kings.
, Liu Mang specifically targeted Weber.
Liu Mang scored 11 points in the first half of the quarter. After the Kings' defensive pressure came towards him, Liu Mang came back from the timeout and started passing mode. In the next six minutes or so, he only scored 3 points, one mid-range shot and one foul shot.
Free throws, but he sent 3 assists in half a quarter, revitalizing the team's offense!
After the first quarter, the Eagles led 36 to 19 by 17 points!
The Kings played very well in the next six minutes and scored 15 points, but they played too poorly in the first half of the first quarter and only scored 4 points. The Eagles led by 17 points in the single quarter!
When Adelman used Weber as a space-opening player, the Kings did play well, but after the Hawks took a 17-point lead, Liu Mang either passed the ball or scored by himself. When Weber was there, he targeted
Webb plays at this point and widens the point difference. Even if the Kings use Webber's rest time to play the state they should have this season and narrow part of the point difference, every time Webber comes up, both offense and defense become the Eagles.
Taking advantage of the black hole, overall, the Eagles have always maintained a more than ten-point lead!
The situation was like a stalemate. With more than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mike Bibby scored 9 points in a row, once narrowing the point difference to 8 points, which shocked the Eagles, but then
Liu Mang scored 8 points in a row, pushing his personal score past 40 points, once again widening the point difference to more than 10 points, killing the Kings' counterattack momentum.
In the end, Liu Mang made 14 of 29 shots and scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists. It was the third time this season that he had at least 40+10, setting a new record for a player in the history of the Eagles with 40+10 assists in a single season. At the same time, the Eagles beat 112
98. Defeated the Kings away from home and won 7 consecutive games without any danger!
The entire Kings team performed very well. After all, they are tied with the Spurs for the fifth-best record in the league. The Kings were already very strong, but Webber's return obviously affected their chemical reaction.
Weber, who only scored 8 points and 6 rebounds on 3 of 13 shots, not only had a poor offensive performance, but also had the most serious rebounding ability. His defensive rebounding declined the most. There is no doubt that Weber's performance in this game was very disappointing.
.
Especially since his current body shape has gained weight, people seem to be witnessing the end of an era. Obviously, the era of that talented Kings team has not yet begun and is about to end...
…
…
To say how miserable Webber is, it’s not just that he played badly in his first comeback. The key is that he didn’t make the headlines for such a miserable performance!
Iverson, who came back on the same day as him, performed a surprising performance in his first comeback against the Pistons, who had the third-highest record in the Eastern Conference and currently had 36 wins and 19 losses!
Before the game between the 76ers and the Pistons, people saw Webber's poor state after missing most of the season, and they didn't have much hope for Iverson's first comeback.
But the less hopeful it is, the more unexpected things happen, the more surprising it is!
Iverson faced the Pistons, and his shooting performance was really bad with 6 of 22 shots, but he also got 14 assists! In addition, he also grabbed an offensive rebound at a critical moment in the fourth quarter for the seventh time in his career.
He reached double figures in rebounds, caused a foul on Ben Wallace, and made two free throws. He established a 4-point lead at the critical moment. He scored a triple-double of 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists. The last time he had a triple-double,
This is already a thing of the last century!
With Iverson showing off at critical moments, the 76ers upset the Pistons 99-96!
After winning the game, Iverson asked the reporter to tell Liu Mang during the interview: "Let Ace wash his butt clean and wait for his buddies to kick him! If that bastard doesn't get beaten up, he won't know who is the boss!"
…
Iverson now has a very strong desire to defeat Liu Mang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition to wanting to "revenge" Liu Mang's previous curse, there is also the matter of being the scoring champion.
Iverson's previous highest scoring average of 31.4 points per game was 31.4 points per game, and Liu Mang is now averaging 32.6 points per game, which is higher than Tracy McGrady's 32.1 points per game last season, and Liu Mang is becoming more and more stable as the scoring champion this year.
, McGrady's scoring average has been stuck in the 30s. Before the game between the Hawks and the 76ers, McGrady averaged 30.3 points per game.
As the season progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult for McGrady to overtake Liu Mang. Now every time McGrady wants to improve by 0.1 points, he has to score 6 points more than the average score in a single game. If he wants to surpass Liu Mang, he has to
In the remaining 20 games, he averaged at least 35 points per game.
In the past ten years, only two people have achieved such a performance. One is Jordan in the 1986-87 season. He scored 35 points for 11 consecutive times and 40 points for nine consecutive games. He averaged 40 points per game in all games after the All-Star Weekend.
38 points.
The second one is Kobe Bryant last season, who had 13 consecutive 35-point performances. In February, he had 9 consecutive 40-point games, and averaged 40 points per game in a single month. Counting the following March, he averaged 31 points per game, and averaged over the two months.
There is an average of 35.
Except for these two people, no one in modern basketball has accomplished the arduous task of Tracy McGrady trying to catch up with Liu Mang's scoring average.
Moreover, Liu Mang's scoring momentum is also very strong now. If Tracy McGrady tries to catch up with the score, Liu Mang will not just watch.
Therefore, basically Liu Mang can already determine the scoring champion with more than 20 games left.
Of course, there may also be a situation like O'Neal and David Robinson competing for the scoring title. McGrady first stabilizes the current scoring gap and prevents himself from being too wide, and then takes crazy shots in the last two or three games.
The points are soaring, and McGrady's scoring ability is obviously better than David Robinson. If he forces a score of 50 or 60 points in several consecutive games next time, it is not impossible.
This is also the media's prediction for Tracy McGrady and Liu Mang competing for the scoring title.
But Iverson is also a super scorer and knows how difficult it is to get 60. It is difficult for McGrady to complete such a miracle, so he is even more unhappy now!
The younger brother back then had to surpass his own scoring average and win the scoring title!
It is unbearable!
