Coach Sloan never expected that when he tried to prevent Liu Mang from scoring, Liu Mang became the "assist king"!

Is this still the "atypical point guard" whose assists per game have dropped to 2.9?

After the start of the second quarter, the Jazz really had no choice but to start blocking the shooters. The Eagles were going crazy with three-point shots!

Coach Kruger didn’t even expect that his team’s three-pointers were so accurate today! Usually, making twelve or three three-pointers in a game is the limit. In games where he can make ten three-pointers, except for playing against the Suns, he wins all the other games.

Yes, I made 7 three-pointers in a single quarter today!

Coach Kruger decided on the tactics in the second quarter. Liu Mang entered the lineup with two pitchers, a center, and an interior player with excellent physical fitness.

In the second quarter, Liu Mang found that the opponent did not dare to double-team anymore, so he immediately started a singles mode combining sudden shots. After the opponent started to double-team, he started passing the ball.

Liu Mang scored 13 points and 4 assists in the second quarter, 7 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, and half of the fourth quarter he scored 4 points and 2 assists. If double-teamed on the outside, he would directly split the ball to the outside. When breaking through, he would pass the ball.

Inside, a simple and rough style of play, mainly accurate outside shooting. With the addition of an additional three-point shooter, in addition to Liu Mang, the Hawks have Korver, Calderon, Persson, and Jason Terry.

Three-point masters, whoever is not accurate will be replaced, and if they are accurate, they will take more shots. In three and a half quarters of game time, the Eagles made a total of 17 three-pointers!

In the first three quarters, the Jazz could still rely on Boozer, Kirilenko, who could score and pass, and Halprin's singles to keep the point difference within 15 points. Except for the point guard, the Jazz were very strong.

Although Liu Mang only scored 4 points and 2 assists in the first half of the fourth quarter, Jason Terry scored two consecutive three-pointers and hit a three-pointer in isolation.

The Eagles scored 18 points in the last half of the quarter. The Jazz's main players barely rested and couldn't hold back. They completely collapsed and only scored 7 points in the half.

The Eagles opened the score to 119-95 in one fell swoop, widening the point difference to 24 points!

Coach Sloan reluctantly replaced the entire main lineup and announced his surrender.

Trying to use Liu Mang to rebuild the team's confidence failed!

Although Boozer had 33 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Kirilenko had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks, Okur had 22 points and 4 rebounds, Halprin had 18 points, and Raul Lowe came off the bench.

Pats both scored 18 points. For the first time this season, the Jazz scored in double figures with five players. However, relying on Liu Mang's 31 points, 24 assists and 6 rebounds, he broke the team's record of 17 three-pointers in a single game.

Beat the Jazz 131 to 110, a score difference of 21 points!

Liu Mang got his third double-20 in his career, and at the same time improved his single-game assist record in Eagles history by three more, from 21 to 24!

"Ding... The Wrath of the Rogue mission is completed, and the reward is 10,000 superstar points."

At the end of the game, after sitting on the sidelines and watching Calderon play garbage time with the first- and second-grade lineup, the referee blew the final whistle. Liu Mang's moderately difficult task worth 10,000 superstar points was completed.

The data exploded today, and I got more than 2,300 superstar points. I earned back all the superstar points I spent on replenishing medicine reserves before the game!

"If you want to use me as a stepping stone, I'll give you a beating every time I see you next time!"

…

Liu Mang got brutal data in two consecutive games, but... the direction was completely different!

He was a scoring maniac in the last game, but in the second game he became a passing master!

People said they really couldn’t guess Liu Mang!

People now seem to think that whatever data Liu Mang produces is acceptable.

I scored 60 points in three quarters, and there were times when I almost scored 30 or 20 points.

Moreover, people's focus now is not on Liu Mang's data and the Hawks' victory. In the eyes of the fans, it is natural for the Hawks to win against the Jazz. This game was not broadcast live. The fans only saw the data, not the Jazz.

Seeing why Liu Mang changed from a scoring maniac to a member of the "rejection" team, many fans didn't even notice that the Eagles rested so many people. After all, it was a game where the league's top team was playing against the league's third-to-last team. Take a look.

The result is fine.

For Liu Mang, 31 points is less than his average score in the past two years, so people feel that Liu Mang has become a member of the "Rejection" group today.

31 points, 24 assists, 6 rebounds and 5 turnovers, mainly 24 assists and 5 turnovers, a nearly 5-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, and the Eagles' 17 three-pointers in a single game set a new record, and suddenly the Eagles won 14 consecutive games.

, has become the most discussed topic among fans.

The discussion is not about this game, but about the next game between the Eagles and the Suns!

Not many people had noticed that the Hawks had won 14 consecutive games, and when the Hawks were about to play the Suns, the major TV stations vigorously promoted the game between the Hawks and the Suns on the morning of the game. Of course, they had to highlight the strong performances of the two teams.

Promote it.

Only then did people discover that the Eagles had won 14 consecutive games without knowing when!

At this time, some people began to look forward to whether the Hawks can create the NBA's eighth consecutive championship winning streak of at least 18 consecutive games?

The Hawks have a 14-game winning streak, 48 wins and 7 losses, and the Suns have a 9-game winning streak, 47 wins and 9 losses. There is not much difference in the records of the two teams. Will the Hawks continue their winning streak and avenge the Suns, or will the Suns end the Hawks' streak?

Win?

The last time the Hawks lost to the Suns in a scoring battle, Liu Mang and McGrady both scored atrocious statistics in that game, but they still lost to the Suns.

Will there be any changes this time?

Especially before the game against the Suns, Liu Mang performed brutally in two consecutive games, and demonstrated his scoring ability and power of breakthrough points. The Eagles also broke the team's history of three-pointers. The pitchers

In good condition, they are about to start a showdown with the Suns. Will this game be the revenge of the Eagles, who are "revengeful", or will the Suns continue to show their strength as the defending champions?

…

The night after the game against the Jazz, the Hawks took a chartered flight to a hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, where the team had already kept rooms open for two days.

California, Arizona, and Utah are three states next to each other. It is the place where the league takes the most care of the Hawks in this five-day game. The flight time between away games is half an hour at most.

In fact, although the schedule arranged by the league for the Hawks during this period is tight, it has always been very considerate. Originally, the most interesting games this month were three games against the Timberwolves, Heat, and Mavericks. Who knew that the Timberwolves collapsed and the Heat took a break?

On the contrary, the game between the SuperSonics and the Suns is the most interesting.

Otherwise, this time, four games in five days would be against the top five teams in the Western Conference last season. Even though it was four games in five days, against a weak team without a core with unlimited physical fitness like Liu Mang, they would have lost one or two games.

Yes, but it is already the greatest preferential treatment given by the alliance.

After sleeping until eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang got up and prepared for tonight's game. This time, the hotel where the Eagles stayed had an indoor basketball court, which was rented out by the Eagles. Liu Mang went to practice shooting early in the morning.

After practicing for a while and resting for a few days, Tracy McGrady and Rasheed Wallace also came to practice shooting. They played the first game of back-to-back games yesterday, while other players were still sleeping in and recovering their strength.

The disadvantage of first- and second-year players is that they are very unstable. Korver had two three-pointers in the first quarter yesterday and only one in the last three quarters. Jason Terry and veteran Persson were more stable. Jason Terry threw in 5

Three-pointers, Persson made 4 three-pointers and a layup. He scored 14 points in his first game for the Hawks. Calderon threw two and Iguodala made one.

one.

But the advantage of first- and second-year players is that they are young and their physical strength will be restored after sleeping.

The Eagles are as fully prepared as possible for the game against the Suns, but the Suns are now having a headache. How are they going to deal with the Eagles?

Liu Mang has been too violent in these games. Originally, Liu Mang only scored and McGrady passed the ball, but when McGrady was resting, Liu Mang actually scored 24 assists in a single game!

Although the Suns have no defense and are not interested in defense, they have to win and score more points than their opponent!

Most fans don't care about the age of the players or injuries when they watch the game. They will criticize them if they don't play well and brag to death if they play well. But the players and the head coach are different. The Big Four of the Eagles came in advance.

When they arrived in Phoenix, they knew that after two days of rest in the hotel, the four major players in the Hawks team were in sufficient physical condition. Liu Mang's physical condition was notoriously good, and even the former Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson were slightly inferior.

Now the Eagles' outside pitchers are in good shape, and the Eagles' main players are well rested. The key is that the Eagles still have a strong desire for revenge. The teams that beat them in the past two years have all been retaliated against.

D'Antoni and Nash obviously won the first game, but now they feel that they are at a psychological disadvantage!

But fortunately, young players don't have this kind of pressure. This is where the Suns' two core players, D'Antoni and Nash, can rest assured. The Suns' core lineup is younger than the Hawks.

It has become a truly strong team in the eyes of fans and media, and young players are fearless.

…

The preparation time was too short. When Liu Mang closed his eyes, he felt like it was last night's game. When he opened his eyes, it was the pre-game interview and warm-up training with the Suns.

After the tactical training in the afternoon, he has been watching video clips of the Suns' recent games. The offensive firepower is still so fierce.

The Hawks have also scored a lot of high points recently, and their average points per game has increased to 110.3 points. The Suns still rank first in the league with 110.6 points.

McGrady averaged 11.7 assists per game and Nash averaged 11.9 assists per game.

As for the MVP rankings, today is Monday. In the newly updated MVP rankings, Nash was knocked off the top spot in the MVP rankings for the first time this season. Liu Mang was ranked first for the first time with his 14-game winning streak and two consecutive brutal performances.

No. 1 on the MVP rankings.

After the warm-up, I was ready to go in. I read about the Suns, mainly about Nash's two tasks.

"Season goal: The prelude to the run-and-gun era: The host needs to lead the development of offensive basketball. Mission goal 1: The host's team needs to get first place in the NBA scoring average ranking during the regular season. Mission reward: 50,000 superstar points; 2

.Get the regular season MVP, mission reward: a Steve Nash peak star card; 3. Someone in the host’s team needs to win the assists king, mission reward: 1 senior superstar value draw.”

The three goals of this task are all being worked hard. Liu Mang originally thought that it would be most difficult to win the assists title and for the team to score more points than the Suns. Now he discovered that MVP is the most difficult. After Nash arrived in the Suns, the Suns had no other reinforcements.

Last season, the top three in the Western Conference ranked among the top three in the league. This improvement in record made Nash's first MVP a sure beep!

Liu Mang has no other choice but to continuously increase his scoring average to compete.

On the other hand, both the assists leader and the team's points per game are almost completed. Tracy McGrady passes the ball accurately, and the Hawks have many scorers. The main reason is that Liu Mang is the passer who may get assists when passing the ball, and Nash is there.

By the middle of the season, his average assists per game began to decline, but Tracy McGrady's average points per game improved as Liu Mang's points per game increased.

This mission is the goal of the season, and the other mission is the mission of the current game.

A task that Liu Mang desperately wanted to complete!

"MVP battle: The host needs to defeat the team led by Steve Nash the next time they play against the Suns led by Steve Nash. Mission reward: 1 endurance fruit. Failure penalty: endurance -3."
