836.The rise of the bull
These days are carnival days for fans.
The official NBA website posted headlines related to the competition for the highest score in a single game, which was obviously fueling Liu Mang's challenge to all scorers in the league.
It is said that it challenges all scorers, but in fact it is only the four major shooting guards, and among the four major shooting guards, Tracy McGrady and Liu Mang are on the same team. Carter has always been tepid in terms of scoring. He has scored 50 points in the playoffs and also in the regular season.
I got 50 points in my grade, but I didn't care too much about the scoring title. I was obsessed with dunking.
Therefore, the main players who really compete with Liu Mang for the highest score in a single game are Kobe and Iverson. There are only a few players in the league who have scored 50 points in a single game.
Iverson had not responded before. In addition, Iverson's shooting rights have been reduced a lot this season, and he also has Webber as a teammate. It does not seem like he wants to respond to Liu Mang's feelings.
After people were waiting for Liu Mang to respond to Kobe, Kobe responded to Liu Mang again. Unexpectedly, it was not Kobe who responded to Liu Mang, but someone who didn't look like he had won the scoring title three times and was a little disgusted with scoring high points but not being able to win.
Iverson!
Iverson stepped in and scored 56 points in a single game!
At the same time when the Lakers were beaten by the Pistons by 40 points 72 to 112, the 76ers faced the Knicks at home. Iverson played for 48 minutes. He and Webber worked together and agreed to add trouble to Liu Mang.
In the last minute, Iverson scored two points by using Webber's pass to catch the ball and layup, finishing with 56 points!
He made 20 of 41 shots and made 14 of his free throws. He only took three three-pointers, but with the help of Webb, they were all open shots in the first quarter. He made 2 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter and did not miss a single three-pointer in the following quarter.
, but relied on the three-point threat in the first quarter and used breakthroughs and Webber's high post support to score in the second three quarters.
Played a full 48 minutes just to score 56 points.
Although Iverson is no longer obsessed with scoring, he has won it three times. No one will question his scoring ability. He now wants to win.
But Liu Mang's map cannon attack still made him very unhappy.
It's just that Kobe was on top before, and Iverson thought he didn't need to take action. Who knew that Liu Mang immediately overtook Kobe, and Kobe was playing back-to-back games. Iverson knew Kobe very well. In terms of basketball, Iverson was a great player.
He is a very smart player. It can be seen at a glance that Kobe's current body shape does not match his characteristics. He just relies on his talent to support such a heavy weight to play, and it seems that he cannot do it back to back.
So Iverson took matters into his own hands, discussed it with Webber, and went berserk while beating the Knicks, scoring 56 points.
When Iverson scored 56 points, the fans were excited. It was not just Kobe who stood up. Iverson also "couldn't stand" Liu Mang's arrogance!
Whether Liu Mang can respond next is something that fans are looking forward to.
…
…
On December 6, the day of the game between the Hawks and the Bulls, Tracy McGrady came over early in the morning to practice passing, which was a practice of hitting the ball on the ground and bouncing it to a designated point on the wall.
But just now, Tracy McGrady saw Liu Mang practicing three-pointers again.
Of course Tracy McGrady knows that people are now hyping up the topic of Liu Mang vs. Iverson. It’s a big hit.
McGrady feels that he should practice passing more and make his passes more accurate. He should watch more Bulls game videos and look for their bad defensive habits and take advantage of them.
He advised Liu Mang to calm down. This kind of thing was too troublesome. McGrady felt that it would be easier to practice passing the ball better and become a more powerful point forward.
When McGrady went to the locker room to change into training clothes, the phone rang.
It's that guy, it's so rare! You may not get one call every three to five years. McGrady smiled and answered the call.
"Allen, you made Ace very angry this time." McGrady smiled at the person on the phone.
"This is interesting, isn't it? This is how we challenged No. 23 back then. Unfortunately, No. 23 was about to retire at that time, and we were not as powerful as Ace."
"What if Ace scores higher than you today?"
"God, you said he wants to get 50 in three consecutive games? That's impossible...it's still possible. That guy can get 60 twice in a season. Damn it. I don't know when this kid became so good.
Well, the guy in Los Angeles and I both called Vince, but Vince didn't seem interested in the matter."
"Vince? You'd better stop looking for him. He won't be interested in this kind of thing. You might as well talk to him about dunking."
"That's right, then Tracy, do you want to play?"
"No more."
"You're not really planning to win the assists title, are you?"
"I'm different from you. I didn't want to win the scoring title from the beginning. It was because you didn't average 30 points per game and I averaged 32 points per game that I won the scoring title."
"Go away, Tracy, you are still so annoying, I won't talk to you anymore."
Then McGrady heard the sound of "beep beep beep beep"... and closed the phone with a smile: "This guy is still the same, he only knows that he does things according to his own ideas."
The four major shooting guards are now in a period of "decline". Carter and Tracy McGrady have become "second brothers", and the position of the boss is gone. Iverson and Kobe are struggling for playoff seats. The league is being dominated by the big players.
Forwards and centers dominate...or have always been dominated by centers, except when Liu Mang broke the dominance of O'Neal and Duncan last season.
Under this situation, the relationship between them eased slightly... Of course, it was based on the fact that they had a common enemy like Liu Mang.
They didn't expect that the kid from China who started making trouble every day would become their biggest enemy in dominating the four most powerful perimeter players.
…
The Bulls players are in a high state of excitement right now.
Finally, since Jordan retired, the Bulls have gained attention again!
After Iverson responded with 56 points from Liu Mang, the game between the Eagles and the Bulls became a popular game.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This season, the Bulls have very few live broadcasts in the United States, and even if they play well, not many TV stations will broadcast their games, mainly because they don’t play well.
.
The Bulls are averaging only 92 points per game this season and losing 92 points per game. You know, the Spurs are already averaging 96 points per game this season, and the Pistons are averaging 98 points per game. The entire league is averaging 92 points per game.
It was 97.4 points. Only the Hornets averaged less than 90 points per game, while the Bulls' average points per game were at the lower stage. The game was played at a slow pace and was ugly, with the center as the core position.
Attack and defense are the main style of play, so even if the record improves significantly, from second to last in the Eastern Conference last season to a team that is a contender for the playoffs this season, not many TV stations are willing to broadcast their games.
And now, thanks to Liu Mang's battle with Iverson and Kobe Bryant, the Bulls' exposure has suddenly increased.
The Bulls have good defense and a slow pace. They have a giant center in Eddie Curry, the backup center is Tyson Chandler, the power forward is Antonio Davis, and the backup power forward is Othella Harrington.
There must be strength and depth, and there must be depth.
At the small forward position, there is Luol Deng, who is extremely powerful among rookies. The back line is composed of two point guards who are extremely defensive and excellent in fixed-point three-pointers. They play as double point guards, Kirk Hinrich and Kirk Hinrich.
Reese and Duhon are both point guards with accurate three-pointers and strong defense. In addition to averaging 20 points per game, this first- and second-year pair also contributed 10 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
Very strong.
Also on the bench are Argentine pitcher Andres Nocioni and Sixth Man of the Year favorite Ben Gordon.
The Bulls' 9-man rotation was all strong. People discovered at this time that the Bulls had unknowingly accumulated amazing talent after five years of failure!
We have Eddy Curry as our offensive powerhouse, Ben Gordon on the bench, two point guards who are great at passing, shooting, and defense, and a group of inside men who are great at defending.
People found that it was difficult for Liu Mang to overtake Iverson's 56 points again!
Very difficult!
Liu Mang also noticed this, so when he knew that Iverson was also involved, he couldn't help but curse.
But there is no other way. In order to get the reward of All-round Shooting Ability 1, and to completely establish his position as the scoring leader this season, Liu Mang must fight hard!
If the scoring king hadn't challenged the opponents competing for the scoring title every season when he was triggered, Liu Mang wouldn't have taken the initiative to cause trouble.
Liu Mang could tell that Kobe and Iverson had no intention of competing for the scoring title this season, but now it's hard to say.
Liu Mang could conclude that if he did not perform well against the Bulls and his points per game dropped, it was hard to say whether the two of them would change their minds.
And there is also that mission. Every time a game is delayed, 10,000 superstar points will be deducted as a penalty!
The game where he got 50 points only had a superstar value of just over 3,000 points. In ordinary games, the star value was around 2,000 points. For this, Liu Mang had to work hard!
Kobe's physical fitness cannot support him to keep scoring points, and Iverson has changed his style of play and is not interested in the scoring champion. These two points are the key for Liu Mang to take advantage of this season to complete the task of scoring the king without losing superstar value.
The goal of reckless efforts.
All we can do is fight!
Liu Mang practiced for a while and saw Tracy McGrady coming to practice passing. Not long after, at eight o'clock, Kwame Brown also came!
Liu Mang was very curious: "Kwamei, what are you doing here so early?"
"Boss, I'm going to play Curry and Chandler tonight, so I have to be well prepared."
By the way, Liu Mang remembered that Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Gasol, and Eddie Curry were the top four picks in 2001. Every time Kwame Brown sees them
They all fought hard.
Can we take advantage of this...

The next chapter may be bigger, maybe it will be updated later, or maybe I will update it after I finish writing it tomorrow morning.
I have a merciless request. Xiaofeng found that the third position may not be guaranteed for a few days. Chen Aiting is so awesome. The first order was more than 2,000. Now it is estimated that it is a high-quality product. It has been on the shelves for a week, and the monthly tickets are almost 1,500.
, seeing that he has rushed to fourth place, at this speed, the difference between Xiaofeng and Chen Aiting is less than 500 votes. At this speed, it is estimated that he will be surpassed in two days.
Xiaofeng looked at it and it seemed that the difference between the second and second place was less than 100 votes. Otherwise, he would have left the risk of his asshole to the God of Tucao!
The Master of Rabbit Grass is sixth in the new book list, which is a double reward for the first place in the category. Let’s count more votes and go to the second place, okay? This is a very imaginative and groundbreaking idea...
