855.The best gift(1/2)

The Hawks' home game against the Knicks is about to begin.

Over at the Knicks bench, Marbury and others saw what the Hawks were busy with. A group of players gathered around to discuss something, and it didn't seem like they were discussing anything related to the game. Marbury became angry when he saw it.

.

Don't take them seriously at all!

But seeing the lifeless looks of his teammates, with expressions of "we're going to lose again" written all over their faces, Marbury also felt deep despair.

Originally, Larry Brown was here, and Marbury still had some expectations when the season started. This season, their lineup has been strengthened, and they forcibly acquired Jamal Crawford from the Bulls, and they also had Larry.

-Brown, a head coach who has reached the Finals and reached the playoffs last season, thought he could perform better this season.

But they probably forgot that the previous coach Lenny Wilkens was no worse than Larry Brown in any aspect.

Lanny Wilkens also reached the finals three times, won a championship once, and won more than 1,300 regular season games in total, ranking first in history...

After replacing Larry Brown, the Knicks collapsed. So far, they have won 7 games, with 7 wins and 18 losses. They are only better than the Hornets, Bucks, and Raptors, ranking fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

The main reason is that Larry Brown and the Knicks players can't get along with each other at all, and they often yell at each other. The Knicks nursing home has finally been opened, and they all look like they don't want to win.

Marbury is also a player with high spirits. Now he feels a deep sense of despair, but there is nothing he can do about it. He is at best a first-rate star, very similar to Francis. If he does not have teammates who are particularly good at off-ball offense, he must be given

Paired with a particularly suitable teammate, such as a pitcher like Alan Houston, just like Francis became successful after partnering with Ray Allen, Lewis and others. Unfortunately, Alan Houston was directly reimbursed this year.

As the season progresses, Marbury gradually gets used to this despair...



Liu Mang directed his teammates to prepare what they had to do after winning the game, and then called his teammates together.

"Ahem, today is Dinah's birthday, right, so you all have to pass the ball to me!" Liu Mang showed off his majesty as a boss.

"Hey, you are the point guard, what can we do if you don't pass the ball?" Jason Terry rolled his eyes at Liu Mang, "How many times have you passed the ball this year? Tracy gave us the ball every time.

"

Liu Mang said angrily: "Jason, do you think I am this kind of person?"

Jason Terry nodded seriously: "You are."

"..."

"Okay, okay, Ace, I'll pass the ball to you and you just make the shot. Don't delay me from trying to become the assist king." McGrady said with disgust.

Looking at McGrady, Liu Mang really couldn't refute it. McGrady mainly passed the ball this season and his shooting percentage was particularly high. He averaged 5 hits in 9.2 shots per game and 4.1 free throws. McGrady's true shooting percentage this season.

It's 60% broken.

Although Liu Mang also has a field goal percentage of 48%, which is really as high as 57%, but compared with Tracy McGrady, only Kwame Brown of the Hawks can compare with Kwame Brown's true shooting percentage.

It's almost 70%.

Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady are regarded as examples of mutual achievement, but in terms of efficiency, Tracy McGrady is much higher, with fewer unnecessary shots and more passes, and Liu Mang is willing to waste shots. The two fit perfectly.

McGrady and Jason Terry have no problem with it, and others certainly won't have any problem with it.

Liu Mang sharpened his sword and was ready to kill, but he still had to have a strategy. Liu Mang called his teammates together and said a few more words.

The more my teammates listened, the weirder their expressions became...



At six o'clock in the afternoon, this game without any live broadcast on any TV station was about to begin.

As Rasheed Wallace roared, Prince began to twist his body, McGrady carefully applied magnesium powder on his palms and fingers, Liu Mang sprinkled the magnesium powder into the air, and the two teams appeared!

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Knicks' lineup also looks very strong, with a combination of Marbury, Crawford, Tim Thomas, Jerome Williams, and Kurt Thomas.

Accompanied by the cheers of the fans at the scene, Kwame Brown came to the center circle and jumped the ball with endless fighting spirit.

The self-proclaimed No. 1 center in the Eastern Conference has already stirred up the topic. Almost all the news today is talking about Kwame Brown. Except for the initial period when he entered the NBA and became a parallel import, it has been three years since he entered the major leagues for the first time.

News media websites and newspapers dominate the screen.

It was just a game against the Knicks... indeed no TV station was willing to broadcast it live, which made Liu Mang feel quite regretful.

O'Neal has not responded yet, but Kwame Brown is indeed popular and has also attracted Kobe fans. According to reporters, a large number of fans in Los Angeles and California went to major polling stations to vote for Kwame Brown.

Kobe's popularity is still quite good. Liu Mang's approach of letting Kwame Brown take advantage of Kobe's popularity now seems to be quite correct and has immediate results!

Kobe didn't respond, because he didn't say anything to him directly. Liu Mang estimated that laughter must be coming from Kobe's bathroom all day long.

The referee selects the ball and comes to the court, directs the two teams to stand, and then blows the whistle to start the game and throws the ball into the air.

The excited Kwame Brown suddenly jumped up and pushed the ball backwards.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he immediately passed it to McGrady and ran towards the frontcourt.

The Knicks retreated too slowly. After Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, no one retreated in place. McGrady lobbed the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang easily dunked and scored two points.

Seeing Larry Brown yelling at the sidelines at the beginning of the game, Liu Mang observed two seconds of silence for the old coach.

The last time they played against each other, the Knicks still had some momentum. Now, the only person on the Knicks who has the fighting spirit is Marbury.

Crawford has been playing on bad teams all year round. In the first four seasons of his career, there was no season where he was not competing for the top three picks. When he first came to the Knicks, he thought of being a playoff team and the finals.

Coach, Crawford is still very motivated to score and organize offense, but now, the team's record is poor, and the Bulls have directly moved the top three in the league to climb to fifth in the Eastern Conference! This gap is too drastic, and it can't be overcome

Lawford now catches the ball and throws it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Eagles took advantage of the Knicks' mentality and carried out high-speed rotation defense. Compared with the last time they played against each other, the Knicks passed the ball a lot better.

The big difference is that now he is completely screwed up. He was completely fooled by the devilish Eagles at home and threw the ball directly against the defense.

That is to say, the Knicks have a good lineup and average 97 points per game in a few games. However, as Larry Brown is a defensive coach, the Knicks lose an average of 102 points per game!

The Eagles continued to counterattack, starting with a 17-7 scoring shock wave that caused Larry Brown to call a timeout.

17-7 in 4 minutes, the Eagles scored again.

Among them, 13 points were scored by Liu Mang! 4 points were scored by Kwame Brown on tip-ins.

After the Knicks called a timeout, the offense seemed to "pick up". After Larry Brown started cursing again, the Knicks finally started passing the ball. This pass really "teared apart" the Eagles' defense.

"Cracked", the Hawks did not switch defense in time after double-teaming, and the Knicks also had open shooting opportunities, and the scoring began to normalize.

The two teams began to make a fuss about the score difference of about ten points. After the first quarter, the Eagles led the Knicks by 35 to 24, leading the Knicks by 11 points. Liu Mang scored 19 points in the first quarter. After the first timeout, he was beaten by the Knicks.

There are unlimited double teams, even if you don't have the ball, you will be double teamed.

In the next game, the Knicks looked like they broke out today, playing very well and holding on to the point difference.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Eagles still only led by 12 points, 87-75. They maintained a lead of about 10 points, but they never widened the point difference.

Liu Mang scored 44 points in three quarters. It was really difficult to score. Marbury and Crawford from the Knicks, as well as Anfernee Hardaway who came on the rotation, all attacked him endlessly.

Liu Mang secretly sighed that fortunately he was smart enough to tell his teammates not to widen the point difference too much. Otherwise, it would not be easy for him to score points for a team like the Knicks that now has no rules at all and blindly double-teams.

First of all, he has too much hatred with the Knicks. The opposing players will definitely challenge him to double-team him when they see him trying to score points. However, the Knicks are playing poorly now, and they have lost even the momentum they had at the beginning of the season. On the offensive end,

It was a completely blind play. If the Eagles' defensive end was too serious, it would probably widen the point difference. Therefore, Liu Mang asked his teammates to help him for his own selfish interests and not to widen the point difference.

Of course, once the Knicks' shots are accurate and Liu Mang hits a little more, Tracy McGrady will use Liu Mang to contain the defense, pass the ball to others, widen the point difference to more than 10 points, and then let Liu Mang score.

The Knicks don't have the defensive strength like the Bulls to seize opportunities to win, and McGrady, who is becoming more and more powerful on the court, is being toyed with by applause.

The Knicks themselves felt that they were so happy today that they were able to close the gap with a strong team. Marbury was one of them. He was already in despair, but who knew there was hope! So he kept fighting, and everything was already there.

He scored 37 points in the third quarter, and his individual scores were not far behind Liu Mang's, which made Marbury even more motivated.

But after the fourth quarter... Marbury felt bad. He could see that the Eagles were playing tricks on them!

Because in the fourth quarter, the Eagles played three or four minutes and opened the point difference to more than 20 points! Marbury didn't score a single point in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter and was guarded by McGrady!

Liu Mang became a super big player today. After three quarters and 31 minutes on the court, he had thrown the ball 30 times and made 14 of 30 shots. That means he took a shot almost every minute of playing time...

Fortunately, the shooting percentage was good, and the Knicks did not double-team as much as they did. Liu Mang scored 44 points in the three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Coach Kruger originally wanted Liu Mang to rest and let Tracy McGrady lead the others, which would have easily won the game. However, Liu Mang wanted to score more points and even used the excuse of "daughter's birthday" to defeat him.

Coach Luger could only continue to replace Liu Mang.

This is great, the Knicks double-teamed Liu Mang without the ball, and all three of them with the ball.

In the fourth quarter, Liu Mang finally started to hit the iron continuously, but the point difference widened little by little. Because Liu Mang played in singles at the top of the arc, the Eagles grabbed 4 and 2 rebounds from the basket. Liu Mang's iron was clanging.

The teammates' second attack was very successful...

With one minute left, Liu Mang finally scored his 20th goal of the game. He hit a three-pointer, breaking 60 points and scoring 61 points!

Liu Mang threw 15 times in the final quarter and made 6 shots in total, scoring 17 points in a single quarter...

The Knicks stopped attacking. Dribbling was taking up time. Liu Mang felt so desperate. He was already 20 points ahead 118 to 98. It was impossible to foul and score points again!

It's okay to score points normally. The Knicks were beaten by Liu Mang by 60 points last season. They already have the mental capacity to bear it. If they deliberately foul to score points... they are not allowed to fight.

The Eagles don't have pressure and defense anymore. They will work harder before Liu Mang scores 60 points, but Liu Mang has already scored 61 points. There are still dozens of seconds left, and it is impossible to score 70 points...



As the Knicks ran out of 24 seconds of attack time and threw the ball out of bounds, coach Kruger also waited for the dead ball to replace Liu Mang after Liu Mang scored 61 points.
