874.The greatest scorer in history
"A man who can score better than God: At the end of this season, the host must average more points per game than Michael Jordan in the 1986-1987 season. Mission reward: Michael Jordan 1986-1987 season star card. Failure penalty: 100,000 superstars
value."
"I fucked you #¥%#¥%..." After Liu Mang saw the specific content of the task, he couldn't help but cursed.
At this time, the teammates had just come in after being interviewed, but Liu Mang ran away first. The media could only grab the other members of the Eagles and ask them how they felt about the loss.
I was depressed when I lost after playing so well, and was dragged by the media to talk about my "feelings of losing." Because Francis played with Yao Ming, he had a "Chinese color". Although there was no live broadcast,
Many domestic media also came to interview me.
With 24 three-pointers made in a single game, the SuperSonics shot a lot in this game. The Hawks could only lose by 4 points. In addition to relying on the Hawks' own offense, they also relied on the SuperSonics' defense. Even the Suns were
Not as good as.
When the best defensive player on a team is Ray Allen, you know how bad the team's defense is.
It's not that Ray Allen's defense is bad, but that their interior defense is not as good as that of an outside defender, and he is still a mid-level outside defender.
Ray Allen's three-point shooting rating of 94 also shocked Liu Mang. His off-ball movement, fast shooting after catching the ball, and the continuity after finding the feel are all so amazing.
It’s not that the three-point gap between Liu Mang and Ray Allen is that big. They are both at the top three-point level. From 90 to 94, they are all top-level three-pointers in history. It’s just that Ray Allen reached the peak first, but Ray Allen has arrived.
Even at his peak, he did not have a daily three-point ability that exceeded 95. Liu Mang experienced Klay Thompson's daily three-point ability in his first game in the NBA.
The main reason is that Ray Allen is very good at attacking without the ball, which allows his three-pointers to be more effective. Liu Mang can play without the ball, but no matter what, he cannot achieve the kind of off-ball ability that Ray Allen has. Liu Mang
After all, he is still a player who mainly attacks with the ball.
The SuperSonics became the second team in NBA history to hit 20 three-pointers in a single game, breaking the previous record of 20 three-pointers in a single game held by the Pacers in the regular season, and improving by four points.
!
The team that originally broke the Pacers' three-point shooting record in time and space should be the Raptors. The Raptors made 21 three-pointers without hesitation at the end of the season. Now they are composed of a shooting team plus Francis, a master of sudden points.
The number of teams was directly increased to 24.
This record is a bit hard to break. Liu Mang remembers that until 2018, no team had ever made 25 three-pointers in a single game.
Indeed, even a god-level three-point team like the SuperSonics can shoot more than 20 three-pointers in a game. A team throws 42 three-pointers in a game, as many times as possible.
Damn, this is a very low probability thing, so it makes the Eagles players even more depressed.
As soon as they returned to the locker room, they heard Liu Mang scolding them in words they didn't understand. Judging by his expression and his ferocious tone, it was immediately obvious that the words were not good.
This shocked the Eagles players who did not guard the opponent's shot!
McGrady came up and enlightened: "Ace, we are also very disappointed when we lost this game. It's a pity that we didn't win 10 consecutive games. Don't be angry."
"Uh..." Only then did Liu Mang realize that he dumped his emotions on his teammates. He didn't care about this. Teammates sometimes have to be scolded... but they seemed to have misunderstood.
…
Liu Mang lost to the Sonics and Francis. It was indeed quite depressing, but no matter what, it was just a regular season game. Liu Mang would only put pressure on his teammates before playing against his opponents in the next game. There will be other things to do next.
The game has to be played.
Now with such a task involving 100,000 superstars, Liu Mang no longer cares about Francis. Wouldn't it be better to let them fight to the death with the teams in the West? With Francis joining the SuperSonics, maybe they can give
The Spurs and Mavericks are causing more trouble, and Liu Mang thinks this is a good thing.
Seeing that his teammates were all silent, Liu Mang started thinking: "It's okay, I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding myself for not guarding Ray Allen."
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he turned around and went to the bathroom with a towel.
If you seize the opportunity to show off well, sometimes there will be unexpected situations. Just like now, the teammates are not only depressed and unhappy, but also more moved: the team boss is actually blaming himself for failing to guard his opponent.
If you still blame your opponent for shooting too accurately, shouldn't you blame yourself for not causing enough interference?
Liu Mang accidentally pretended to be a very successful pussy again...

…
After taking a shower, Liu Mang went home and used his computer to calculate his average points per game after the game, which was 36.1 points.
How many points did Jordan average in the 1986-87 season? Liu Mang looked at the task interface.
"The King of Scoring Task Branch: A man who can score better than God: Completion: 36.1/37.2. Note: In the third year of his career, Michael Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game in the 1986-1987 season."
Indeed, 37.1 points per game was Jordan's scoring average in his third year...but this was more than 40 years after the 1970s, and it was the highest scoring average in the NBA!
Only Chamberlain and Baylor averaged higher points per game than Jordan in his third grade, but these two were both players in the 1960s!
Can it be compared?
Jordan's third-year star card is actually worth 100,000 superstar points!
But Liu Mang also thinks it's worth it. Even Jordan's rookie season star card is so awesome, and his third-year scoring star card... Liu Mang really wants to get it!
Moreover, you cannot fail this mission, otherwise the value of 100,000 superstars... is too much!
Liu Mang thought about it and realized that he had played 36 games this season and averaged 36.1 points per game. By the end of the season, he would have to improve on this basis by at least 1.1 points.
Liu Mang turned on his computer, opened his calculator, and racked his brains to recall elementary school mathematics. Finally... he still couldn't figure it out...
With no other choice, Liu Mang could only open the forum and open a small account to ask for help from all-powerful netizens.
Not surprisingly, when Liu Mang posted the post "How many points per game does my male idol Liu Mang need to average this season to surpass Jordan's 37.1 points" in the domestic forum, during the day in China, this post was
The child is on fire.
There is no doubt that Liu Mang was ridiculed, ridiculed, and attacked again, and then Liu Mang led his allies to retaliate.
But in the end, the fans who had the patience to calculate allowed Liu Mang to get the answer.
Liu Mang needs to score at least 1.97 points more in each of the remaining 46 games than in the previous 36 games. That means Liu Mang needs to score 40 points for a long time in the next season to be able to make up for the occasional points below.
A "deficit" in points per game.
Liu Mang was about to burst into tears!
36.1 1.97, that is, you must score at least 38.1 points in each subsequent game! If you "only" score 36 points, you must score at least 40 points in the next game!
Liu Mang felt that God was going to kill him!
The year Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game, the Bulls were only eighth in the Eastern Conference! And that was when there were only 11 teams in the Eastern Conference.
Liu Mang said that he really didn’t want to be a solo actor!
It's all forced!
Scoring 40 points 10 times in 36 games is already an exaggeration. Liu Mang averaged 33 points per game last season, but only scored 40 points 11 times. Mainly due to stability.
This time... I have to waste time.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang became more and more excited. If he really surpassed Jordan's scoring average... that would be awesome!
After Liu Mang made up his mind to complete this task, he silently expressed that he really didn't want to be a solo!
It's all forced!

After playing the SuperSonics, the Eagles have two days of game time, and then they will play four consecutive home games against the Bobcats, Kings, Wizards, and Suns.
The national broadcast against the Kings has been cancelled, and the game against the Suns has been broadcast nationally.
During the two-day break, the Eagles conducted tactical training, mainly against the Kings and Suns. Although they lost to the Bobcats last time, the Eagles did not pay too much attention to the Bobcats.
The Eagles lost because of the Bobcats' incredible shooting percentage.
And because they lost to a bottom team like the Bobcats, the Eagles will definitely be more serious this time, and the coaching staff is not worried about this game.
And for the defending champion team, the coaching staff sometimes deliberately fails to make arrangements for the two or three weakest teams in the league when there is no pressure on the record. If they lose, it can also be used to stimulate them.
The motivation of players, by the middle of the season, it is too easy to feel numb mentally due to the long regular season.
Like now, after the Eagles players finished the simulated training of the Kings and Suns, they spontaneously discussed how to abuse the Bobcats, which made the coaching staff very satisfied. Although the last loss to the Bobcats was an accident, it has worked now.
There should be no problem if this positive attitude continues until the end of this consecutive home game.
…
On January 12, after training on the second rest day, Liu Mang drove Tracy McGrady home, who had called early in the morning to say that he had forgotten to refuel his car. He also went to a gas station to buy a barrel of gas on the way.
"Ace, thank you so much for taking me to the gas station to fill up with gas." When they arrived at the door of the villa where McGrady rented, McGrady got off the car and said to Liu Mang.
"..." Liu Mang was speechless. He felt that he was already frugal enough, but he didn't expect to meet someone more powerful than him.
However, Liu Mang also had something he needed to tell McGrady in private.
"Tracy, I have something I want to do and I want to ask your opinion. Do you think I can do it?" Liu Mang hesitated and said.
"What's the matter? If I can help, I will try my best to help." McGrady patted his chest as if he was covering his brother.
"Tracy, who do you think is the best scoring player in history?" Liu Mang asked.
"The best scorers? Jordan and Chamberlain... they are the only two players who average 30 points per game. If the best is Jordan, he is also No. 1 in the playoffs." McGrady immediately thought of these two players.
Both are tied for the top scorer in NBA history with an average of 30.1 points per game. Speaking of which, Jordan is a bit more powerful. If it were not for the two years when the Wizards came back, his scoring average would have ranked first in history, not with Chamberlain.
Together they tied for first place.
Moreover, Jordan averaged 33 points per game in the playoffs, which was much better than Chamberlain.
After McGrady answered, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Liu Mang would not ask such a question for no reason. Could it be that...
Maddie's heart pounded and she looked at Liu Mang with disbelief.
"I also think that maybe Chamberlain can average more than 30 points per game now, but I think Jordan's average of 37.1 points per game is the best in NBA history." Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady have the same view.
Maddie couldn't help but ask: "Ace, do you want to..."
Chapter completed!
