"I am very grateful to the coach, Ace, John and all my teammates for trusting me. This feeling is great. At the beginning of the game, I missed two open opportunities in a row. I felt that my career was over, but

When I came on the court again in the second quarter, John, Carlos and Jason would still pass the ball to me. When it came to the critical moment and I heard that I could still play, I couldn't believe my ears. It was so surreal.

, my teammates did not give up on me..."

After the game, Liu Mang, who scored 41 points on 16 of 34 shots from the field, was not the subject of the post-game interview, nor was Jason Terry, who made 6 three-pointers in a single game. 40 points for Liu Mang

It’s not particularly exciting. He has played for three years in his career, and this is already the 18th 40-pointer in the regular season. Counting the two 40-pointers in the playoffs, it is no longer surprising. This kind of

In a high-scoring game, it would be surprising if Liu Mang didn't score 40 points. It wouldn't be surprising if Jason Terry scored 30 points.

On the contrary, Korver, who only scored 9 points in the game, became the subject of an exclusive interview!

After almost missing a three-pointer at the critical moment, the second three-pointer was unexpectedly missed!

When the fans at the scene saw Korver catching the ball and shooting at the last moment, they were not calm. Especially after the first ball was almost missed, Korver still shot the second ball. The fans at the scene went crazy.

Unexpectedly, Korver actually scored!

There was no other better spot to attract the defense, and when Liu Mang and Jason Terry were tightly defended, Korver's accurate kill helped the Hawks defeat the Kings!

Eagles fans need a quick fix, life's ups and downs are so exciting!

Korver accepted the post-match interview for the first time as the "protagonist" on the court. He was extremely excited, with tears in his eyes, and thanked his teammates and coaching staff...

…

It was a sure kill, Korver stole the limelight.

Not to mention Jason Terry, Liu Mang is very envious and jealous!

If Korver hadn't been just a second-round pick, a certain backcourt pairing that was so successful on the court would have coerced and lured the rookie to treat him to dinner.

There was no way, Liu Mang, who got 40, still had to treat his teammates to lunch the next day.

It has become a habit for the Hawks to treat guests with luxurious statistics, and the one who receives the most is the youngest player on the team who feels pain every time he pays.

In his rookie year and sophomore year, Liu Mang was not nudged by his teammates to treat him because he was still earning a basic salary and had not yet received endorsement fees. Now his teammates would not save him money.

…

After a big meal and a night's rest, the Hawks ushered in another strong opponent, facing the Dallas Mavericks at home.

The Hawks desperately wanted to win 60 games, but things were hard to come by. The Dallas Mavericks, who were coming fiercely, were a little stronger at the end of the season!

After the All-Star Weekend, the Mavericks may not have a very good record. They are competing fiercely with the Kings and Rockets for the fourth position in the Western Conference, but their offensive performance is particularly outstanding!

In a dozen games after the All-Star break, the Mavericks averaged 110 points per game! Even more fierce than the Hawks' average of 109 points per game after the All-Star break!

After the All-Star Weekend, the Hawks averaged 109 points per game. They relied on two games of beating the Knicks and playing against the Kings to raise their scoring average during this period, while the Mavericks actually scored in 16 consecutive games.

Breaking 100 points, including 13 games with an average of more than 110 points per game!

The Mavericks have performed well at the end of the regular season and have always looked like champions. Moreover, their playoff record has been good. In 2001, they entered the playoffs for the first time in many years and reached the second round.

It also reached the second round in 2002 and the Western Conference Finals last season. If the original history is to be followed, Nowitzki will lead the team to the finals twice in the next ten years and win one of them.

champion.

The Mavericks have always performed well in the playoffs, except for being beaten eight times in 2007, getting out of the first round in 2008, almost missing the playoffs in 2009, being beaten seven times by the Spurs in 2010, and being swept by the defending champion in the first round in 2012... In fact, Novi

Ski's performance in the playoffs has been good, and he also played well in tough battles at critical moments.

Just like in 2006 and 2011, no one thought that Nowitzki would lead the team to the finals.

In this game, the Mavericks fielded a lineup of Nash, Finley, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Sean Bradley.

Liu Mang thought that the Kings were already strong enough and difficult to deal with. When beating the Kings, they relied on Jason Terry's scoring and Raheem's rebounding. He struggled to the end and wore the Kings to death.

I think it will be easier to beat the Mavericks. Although Raheem and Ratliff take turns today, Prince and Rasheed Wallace are back, plus Barnes is on top, and Muhammad is playing big.

Forwards, with such a strong defensive lineup, there should be no problem.

However, Nowitzki's outbreak came suddenly!

After the game started, both Rasheed Wallace and Muhammad were defeated by Nowitzki's face-to-face singles!

Nowitzki made all kinds of mid- and long-range shots against the defense, and the Hawks were stunned at the beginning!

Nowitzki scored 14 points in the first quarter. He kicked the pot, and the Mavericks' singles and point-ball play all kicked off!

Finley, who was shooting 40% from three-point range at the tail end of his peak, and Nash, who was at his peak, received the ball and shot the ball. Josh Howard, as a rookie small forward, went from singles to

He can do anything from open three-pointers, and he is not timid at all when facing Barnes, he is just as tough as steel.

Although the Eagles performed well on the offensive end, Liu Mang also scored 12 points in the first quarter, but they couldn't hold it against the Mavericks, which has really exploded on the offensive end recently!

It’s another offensive battle where no one can defend anyone!

And Nowitzki can be said to be the insider with the strongest scoring ability after the four major centers. Even Duncan may not be as good as Nowitzki's scoring ability, beating both Rasheed Wallace and Muhammad.

exploded!

This is much more ferocious than Webb's all-around organizational performance of 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in the last game!

No organization is needed, Nowitzki plays singles and distributes the ball when double-teamed. Mavericks assistant coach Avery Johnson's singles tactics are brought to the extreme!

In the first quarter, the Hawks, led by Liu Mang with 12 points and 3 assists, scored 27 points, but the Mavericks, led by Nowitzki with 14 points and 2 assists, scored 31 points!

The most critical thing is that the Hawks are missing the rebounding leader Raheem! Rasheed Wallace does not have an advantage in the rebounding competition with Nowitzki. Starting from the third grade, Nowitzki

His average rebounds per game are just over nine points. Rasheed Wallace is better at blocking positions, but the number of rebounds is indeed unsatisfactory. Even Liu Mang was forced to rush for rebounds in the first quarter!

In the second quarter, Nowitzki was finally replaced and rested. The Eagles rotated in Stockton, Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown felt it was time to play a game.

The wave counterattacked.

However, Antoine Jamison came on the bench and called him a poor version of Nowitzki. They looked down upon him. This guy averaged 24.9 points per game in the 00-01 season three years ago. That year, he was the same player as Jamison.

Nowitzki only averaged 21 points per game... The Mavericks spent 12 million to find such a powerful sixth man. Liu Mang on the sidelines looked at Jamison, who had more offensive weapons than Nowitzki, and beat Kwame -

Brown was exhausted and could only say to Rasheed Wallace next to him: "Cuban is really rich."

It is true that because Nelson does not pay attention to defense now, the Mavericks have not done much in the playoffs in the past few years. If they are lucky and do not encounter a strong defensive team, they may be able to enter the Western Conference Finals. If they are not lucky, they will only be in the second round with the Lakers and Spurs.

This team has always been a pain in the ass for the Mavericks when the Mavericks made the playoffs in a row over the past three years.

But if the Mavericks open up their offensive firepower, it will be difficult to suppress them! In the second round of the Western Conference playoffs last year, the Kings' offense was so ferocious that they were defeated by the Mavericks.

In today's game, Nowitzki's ridiculously strong individual singles ability helped the Mavericks open up the situation from the beginning.

In the first quarter, Liu Mang tried to counterattack, but failed. In the second quarter, Stockton, Boozer, and Jason Terry tried to counterattack while Nowitzki was resting. As a result, Antoine Jamison broke out and knocked Kwame Brown away.

Suddenly, after Nowitzki came up, he formed a super offensive inside line with Jamison, and they were able to score quickly. After the Mavericks opened the ball, Liu Mang came up with Stockton and Boozer, but they couldn't put it down.

The score caught up and they couldn't stop the Mavericks at all!

After halftime, the Eagles trailed by 11 points 57 to 68!

Liu Mang scored 21 points at halftime, but was unable to stop Nowitzki, who scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists!

In the third quarter, Liu Mang started to go berserk, throwing and throwing continuously, scoring 15 points in a single quarter. At one point, he led his teammates to chase the point difference to 5 points, but Nowitzki immediately came up and scored two three-pointers in a row.

Rasheed Wallace was speechless and asked the heavens. He had guarded well enough, but this guy stretched his legs to kick his brother's shot. He really couldn't guard it!

Whether Nowitzki can make a shot or not depends entirely on his touch, and Nowitzki's touch was excellent today!

It’s really unstoppable!

With the help of Nash, Finley, Dallas Double Ugly, Jamison... a bunch of first-class or even top-level stars, Nowitzki played perfectly, playing 33 minutes in the game, scoring 31 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists.

Helped the Mavericks defeat the Hawks 123-114!

Liu Mang scored 44 points back to back, raising his scoring average to 32.9 points per game. He was about to break through 33 points, but the team lost!

…

…

The previous 15-game winning streak was too long. Even if he lost to the Pacers once and then had another three-game winning streak, Liu Mang forgot the feeling of losing for a while.

After losing to the Mavericks, Liu Mang had a sense of reality.

The regular season this season has been so dreamy that Liu Mang once felt like he was invincible.

First, they fought hard against the Kings and narrowly won by 1 point. Fortunately, Korver made a quasi-winner. Without Korver, there really wouldn’t be a third outside offensive point to support him and Jason Terry’s playmaking points.

ball.

Playing against the Mavericks, being suppressed by Nowitzki, who was close to a triple-double, made the Hawks understand that they are not invincible and will still lose!

Of course, the team is not at its strongest due to the rotation. This is the reason, but it is not an excuse that Liu Mang and the Eagles players can use to comfort themselves. Fans can use this as an excuse, but he can't!

Liu Mang wanted to have this sense of oppression. The previous winning streak was too dreamy, and the Eagles players were a little too egotistical.

But you should still be proud. The Hawks' strong team mentality made Rasheed Wallace say after being beaten by Nowitzki: "See you in the finals."

This sentence made Nowitzki extremely angry.

After reaching the finals and facing the top four of Duncan and the Lakers, Nowitzki said that Rasheed Wallace in the East was cheating!

After losing the game, he forcibly attacked Nowitzki, which made Nowitzki half angry to death after winning. Rasheed Wallace followed Liu Mang back to the locker room with satisfaction, and followed the little boss to have sex.

Eat! You can still fight even if you lose the game.
