After beating the Bobcats, the Eagles continued to play consecutive home games, and Liu Mang's journey to score points officially began.

First up is the game against the Wizards on the 17th.

Arenas continues to improve this season. As the leader of the Wizards' Warriors' Three Musketeers, his progress is the key to the Wizards' ability to firmly rank among the Eastern Conference playoff teams.

After entering January, if Liu Mang's scoring was not so explosive, Arenas would be the most explosive person on the scoring end. He scored 50 in a single game and 40 three times. In the 9 games played by the Wizards in January, Arenas was the most explosive.

Si averaged 33 points per game, and this month may become the first glorious month in his career in which he averages 30 points per game. Before playing against the Hawks, his scoring average also successfully increased to 25.1 points per game, becoming the first player this season.

Eight players averaging 25.

It's just that Arenas was afraid of the cold, and he got sick again during the game against the Hawks.

In this game, Larry Hughes said he couldn't handle these scumbags anymore!

In this game, the Hawks' defense changed, and McGrady began to work like a coolie, and he was willing to do so. Considering that he was surprisingly effective in guarding Nowitzki's pitching power forward, in this game with the Wizards

In the team's game, McGrady was used to guard Jamison when he chose to attack from the outside, and Rasheed Wallace guarded Jamison when he chose to attack inside. He successfully locked up Jamison. Prince occasionally

He has to guard power forward Jared Jeffries and mainly guard Larry Hughes.

On the other side, Liu Mang is very experienced in guarding Arenas. He knows Arenas at his peak better than Arenas himself. Arenas, who has not yet reached his peak, is completely restricted by Liu Mang.

Mainly due to psychological pressure, Arenas was tortured so badly by Liu Mang!

James and Wade were miserable enough. Anthony managed to beat Liu Mang once, Billups also beat Liu Mang once in the Timberwolves, and the Pistons also won twice in the regular season in the 2002-03 season, but only in the playoffs.

The abuse was even worse.

But Arenas has never won since he entered the league in the same year as Liu Mang. The key is how unlucky he is. When the Hawks were so poor in the first half of the 2002-03 season, it was unfortunate that he

There were no games against the Warriors. By the time the Warriors played against the Hawks, the Hawks had already regained their glory...

After all, among Liu Mang's opponents, Arenas was the worst.

What's even worse is that the Wizards are currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. If they enter the playoffs like this, they may directly face the Hawks...

When Arenas thought of this, he no longer wanted to play.

Liu Mang is now fully involved in scoring and defending. It is impossible to pass the ball. It is impossible to pass the ball this season... Let's talk about playing against competitive teams.

The Wizards actually played pretty well in this game, mainly because some players broke out!

Not the power forward Jared Jeffries who is five centimeters taller than Prince, but Larry Hughes!

Originally, the Hawks blocked the inside line, but unexpectedly Larry Hughes rushed in with a bag of explosives. Haywood, who felt that he should be the No. 1 pick when he saw Kwame Brown, actively picked and rolled, and various

Inside kill Larry Hughes scored 41 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, the third 40-pointer in his career!

Larry Hughes made 14 of 22 shots from the field and 13 of 14 free throws. He didn't make a single three-pointer, but he shot 63% from mid-range and short range.

The most important contribution made by Larry Hughes was not only scoring, but also causing Kwame Brown to foul 5 times! Three of them were fouls caused by Larry Hughes on Kwame Brown.

The other two times were Kwame Brown's normal defense against Arenas and Jamison, who each committed a foul.

In addition to causing Kwame Brown three fouls, Mourning also caused two fouls and Muhammad three fouls. One person caused 8 fouls, 7 of which were converted into passes!

It seems that one of his artificial fouls is not too many to spread to each opponent, but they have other fouls. Kwame Brown played 16 minutes in the three quarters with five fouls, Mourning played 11 minutes with 4 fouls, and Muhammad fouled 4 fouls in 11 minutes.

4 fouls in 17 minutes, which caused a big problem for the Eagles inside. Continuous fouls will make the referees have the habit of calling penalties. Some players usually commit one or two fouls in a game, but sometimes they commit six fouls in half a game.

He left the game because the more worried he was about to commit a foul, the less he dared to do the right moves. On the contrary, the easier it was to be targeted by an opponent who was very good at drawing fouls, and the Wizards are the kind of team that is very good at drawing fouls.

At the end of the first half, Arenas and Jamison played so poorly that the Wizards actually led the Hawks by three points, 59-56. This was mainly due to the fact that between the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, Jason

- Terry failed to make his due contribution. In the previous few games, Jason Terry was fishing for the moon, but today he is a turtle in the river.

In the first three quarters, due to the team's continuous fouls, Liu Mang failed to counterattack and had a poor sense of rhythm. He only scored 13 points in the three quarters, which was far from his usual average of 29 points per game in the three quarters.

At the end of three quarters, the Hawks trailed the Wizards by two points, 81 to 83.

At the end of the quarter, the Hawks were forced into a three-man rotation of Josh Smith, Rasheed Wallace, and Varejao, with Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Iguodala joining up with Josh Smith and Rasheed.

-Wallace began to wear down the defense in the third quarter. On the offensive end, Tracy McGrady scored points. Iguodala and Josh Smith cut inside, forcing the opponent to shrink the defense at the basket. Rasheed Wallace helped Liu Mang pick and roll.

Let Liu Mang catch the ball and shoot, and in the final quarter, after adding Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace, two inside combinations who are better at controlling fouls, the Hawks finally got the rhythm right, and they were in the final three minutes with the Wizards.

At that time, the Eagles finally took the lead with an alley-oop from Josh Smith.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The key to the victory lies in the stars. In the last three minutes, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady each made a three-pointer. Liu Mang suddenly made a three-pointer with 57 seconds left.

When he got to the basket, even though Haywood was slow to move after 40 minutes of hard work, Liu Mang was able to directly rise up and smash the ball into the basket through Haywood, making the score 2-1.

After hitting the extra free throw, Liu Mang scored 22 points in the final quarter, helping the Eagles score 36 to 24 in the quarter. With 57 seconds left, the score was overtaken to 117 to 107, gaining a 10-point lead.

At this time, Larry Hughes, who had 41 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, could not move anymore. The Wizards were leading by one point with three minutes left, but the Hawks launched an 11-0 scoring shock wave.

No points were scored and they were directly overtaken by 10 points.

Neither team scored in the last 57 seconds. Liu Mangqiang missed two three-pointers and ended up with 35 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Tracy McGrady scored 27 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds. Thanks to the outstanding performance of the two in the final quarter,

, the Hawks reversed the Wizards in the final quarter and won two consecutive games, improving their record to 32 wins and 6 losses.

…

It's so difficult to increase the average scoring by 1 point! He only scored 35 points against the Wizards. Liu Mang's simple addition is still good, which means he must score at least 41 points in the next game... The good risk is that

The scoring average, which increased to 36.2 points in one game, did not go back because he only scored 35 points in this game.

Larry Hughes's rampage was really unexpected. In this game, which was broadcast live on T.N.T., Larry Hughes' performance amazed people. If Arenas hadn't played too badly, he only made 13 goals.

4 scored 10 points. As long as he can perform normally and score more than 20 points, the Wizards have a chance to win.

In the past, because Arenas was too dazzling and Jamison was once regarded as a super scoring forward swingman who had scored 50 consecutive points, Larry Hughes, one of the Wizards' three musketeers, has always been ignored.

After this game, people discovered that Larry Hughes was the most stable player on the Wizards, averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, superstar-level data.

However, the Wizards have too few national broadcasts. There are three Musketeers, and there are only 6 national broadcasts this season. People only know that the Wizards have Arenas and Jamison. Many fans don’t even know Larry Hughes.

.

But now, Larry Hughes has successfully entered people's attention through this game against the Eagles.

When it was discovered that Larry Hughes' contract would expire at the end of this season, some teams began to think about poaching him.

…

After playing the Wizards, the Hawks took a day off and immediately won another game against the Kings.

Liu Mang didn't dare to be careless in this game. Although the Kings lost Webb, Bibby was a ruthless character. The inside attack combination of Brad Miller and Kenny Thomas was still very good. Peja has always been awesome in the regular season.

Mobley came to the Kings, which has now become a purely offensive team, and played well.

Bibby's ability evaluation is 87, Peja's ability evaluation is 85, Brad Miller's ability evaluation is 79, Kenny Thomas's ability evaluation is 75, and Mobley's ability evaluation is 81. The Kings' offensive lineup is particularly powerful, and the substitutes

Also sitting there is Bobby Jackson.

Although the Kings only had a record of 22 wins and 16 losses and ranked sixth in the Western Conference, Liu Mang did not dare to underestimate the strength of the Kings, and the Hawks were also prepared.

It's just that during the game, when the Hawks use the attitude of beating the Heat to defend the Kings, the Kings now only rely on offensive play. As long as the Hawks' defensive end puts some pressure, the advantage will be obvious!

Because the Kings can't defend at all, and the Kings' offensive firepower is not as powerful as the Hawks, but the Kings are a team that relies purely on offense to win. They averaged 104 points per game this season, second only to the Suns, Hawks, and Mavericks.

Ranked fourth in the league, they have been very good against weak teams this season, but they have lost their former style against strong teams.

Liu Mang played 41 minutes and made 17 of 29 shots, 6 of 13 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He easily scored 43 points. With so few free throws, it can be seen how lax the Kings' defense is.

It is said that the Suns' defense is poor. In fact, the Kings' defense is also very poor in the past two years. So far, the Suns have allowed the opponent to average 103 points per game while the opponent has averaged 93 shots per game, while the Kings have only averaged 103 points per game.

In 84 shots, the opponent averaged 102 points per game. In fact, the Kings are not much better than the Suns, but their offense is mostly positional warfare, and the pace is not particularly fast.

This is just like O'Neal's poor free throw shooting. People ignored Duncan's 60% free throw shooting rate in the first three years of his career. They forgot that Duncan also had a wild and flying style of play in the first three years of his career. They forgot that in the first three years of his career,

His field goal percentage was just 30%, and he was the league's most powerful inside shooter after O'Neal at the time.

Relying on Liu Mang's 43 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, McGrady's 10 points, 14 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals, the Hawks easily defeated the Kings 109-92 and won their third consecutive victory, while improving their record to 33 wins and 6 losses.

.

When Liu Mang came off the field, he really despised a guy who was wearing No. 3 and was assisting. When he was leading 100-80 by 20 points with only 4 minutes left, he still shot a ball to increase the score to 10 points...

…

…

"Ace, wake up!" Alexia squeezed Liu Mang's chest with her shoulder.

"I can't get up, I'm too tired." Liu Mang played for 41 minutes last night. When he came back in the evening, he couldn't help but push Alexia first and then again several times. He didn't go to bed until after two in the morning.

Mainly because Jason Terry performed poorly in the game against the Wizards and only scored 7 points. Therefore, when Tracy McGrady went to rest in the first half, Liu Mang pressed Jason Terry. Although he had the ball for about 10 minutes, he

Jason Terry lost, but Liu Mang played very hard on the defensive end. He was not physically tired, but his mental concentration was still very tiring.

"Nash sent a text message. They have already arrived at the hotel. Ace, didn't you make an appointment with Nash for lunch? Get up quickly!" Alexia reminded, when Liu Mang picked them up to watch the game yesterday afternoon,

Said this.

"What time is it?" Liu Mang asked, burying his head in Alexia's hair, and his hands began to become unruly.

"It's half past ten! Get up and take a shower! Hmm..." Alexia suddenly snorted.

"It's so late..." Liu Mang had no choice but to get up, release Alexia who was sleeping in his arms and put her on the bed.

When Alexia was put on the bed, something came off her body, and she couldn't help but groaned again.

Watching Liu Mang go to the bathroom, Alexia now has a magical idea: Do you want to stand on your head? I heard that this is what Madonna does...

…

Liu Mang took a shower, took a shot of physical potion to relieve physical fatigue, and drove to the Emery Hotel, where the Suns were staying.

Liu Mang couldn't help but get excited thinking about the fact that he was going to play a game with Nash, who had now completely released his shackles!

With a record of 33 wins and 6 losses since the new century, only the Lakers in January 2000 and the Hawks themselves in the same period last season have a better record than the Hawks now.

But the Hawks' record is not far ahead. The Pistons are also 32-8, 1.5 games behind the Hawks. In the West, the Suns, who have played two more games than the Hawks, are even better at 34-7.

The record is the same as the Eagles' record!
