"Wow......"

The fans next to the basket and the fans close to the side of the Hawks basket clearly heard Stockton's words, and were stunned for a moment, this is still the low-key and not luxurious, silently doing all kinds of dirty work as the man behind Ma Long's general, Your Excellency Stockton?

If Stockton gave Liu Mang an elbow and beat Liu Mang to bleed, people would not be surprised, although Stockton has become less annoying after the hopelessness of winning the championship in the past two years, it will definitely not be this kind of person who jokingly uses ridicule to talk trash with Liu Mang!

Is this really the rhythm of retirement?

Since the middle of last season, Stockton has been rumored to retire due to the decline in physical fitness in the second half of the season, and he is no longer the general who will never get tired before 2000, and it has been rumored that Stockton is going to retire, and since then Stockton's style of play has changed, to put it romantically to describe, his style of play has become more relaxed, and the comments such as sympathy, regret, and emotion have all appeared on Utah Shuangsha, most of which have appeared in Stockton.

In the final analysis, the Utah Twins are a tragic combination that has been made without a championship for life by the three groups of Yellow-Green Wars, Bad Boy Army, and Jordan.

Liu Mang blinked, making sure he was not wrong, this is the legendary Stockton who is despicable and shameless, well-dressed, and constantly playing black ball?

The god-like shooting feel before is very different from the impression flow of passing.

Then came Stockton's singles teaching time, and at his peak, he averaged 17 points per game while averaging thirteen or fourteen assists per game, and his shooting percentage rarely fell below 50% in his entire career!

First, a tentative step retreat jumper!

Then there is the step feint, take the ball and change hands, break through and throw.

Next up is a high-post back-to-back singles turnaround jumper......

Jumper around the pile in the blocking and dismantling connection section......

……

……

If it weren't for the notoriously average free throws, especially the miserable free throws at critical moments, Stockton would have been a member of the 50+40+90 180 club.

In Stockton's view, this is probably the last time in his life to play in Atlanta, and I don't know if I will play next season, today's game, the Hawks are obviously well prepared, it is difficult for the Jazz to leave with a victory, the last game just played back-to-back, Stockton himself is not much of a problem, the key is that the team's best players can't run after a quarter, if they rest for a day or two before, the game will not be like this.

In this case, Stockton felt that he might as well be willful and teach Xiao Young what it means to play singles!

The Eagles kept fighting back, regardless of whether Stockton could score or not, they kept fighting back, and soon overtook the score.

After all, Stockton is so old, and his technical movements can be maintained well, which is too good for basic skills, but the ball begins to break when he throws, and he slowly hits the iron.

What can Stockton do, the strength of his own team is on the edge of the playoffs, even if it is put in the East, it will compete for six or eight places, and it is so tired to play back-to-back, even if Malone is there, he has seen it before, he can't prevent the Hawks from counterattacking at all, and he can only rely on offense to fight, if he is three years younger, he can run the Hawks to death in this game, but now he is estimated to run to death.

Soon the Hawks gradually pulled the score away, even if the Utah doubles went up together in the third quarter, they only lasted for a while, and they couldn't hold it anymore!

Malone was upset and wanted to win, but Stockton was calmer and would have focused on the next game rather than playing with a lack of fitness in back-to-back matches.

Liu Mang was scared by Stockton in the second quarter, this technique! This core strength! This is the basics!

I used to just hear that Nash has the strength of 40 points in a single game, but he is more willing to assist, and Stockton is not bad!

It's right to think about it, if one of the pick-and-rolls doesn't have the ability to attract defense on the outside, then the result of the pick-and-roll is probably similar to that of Nash and Howard, both of whom go to defend Nash, and Howard gets the ball in the middle distance and gets stealed, and the inside line can't get in.

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks led the Jazz by 13 points, 84-71.

The difference in score is not big, but the Utah twins, who are already in the twilight, are powerless to catch up, and Sloan is also helpless, there is no one in his hands! Over the years of 50+ records, the Jazz have 11 50+ and 60+ wins in the past 13 years, and the only two times are not 50+ records, one is a suspension, that year they won 37 and the Spurs tied for the first place in the league, one is that the main center Mark Eaton is close to retirement, generally in the absence of special events, the Jazz have been 50+ wins and 60+ wins for most of the past 13 years, and there are no young people to join, and they are all old and retired. It's really no one's use.

After all, not everyone is Popovich, and a Duncan can get a Leonard halfway through twenty years.

In the end, the Hawks lost first and then won at home, and quickly turned the situation around with the team's hard work, and finally defeated the twilight Jazz 113-97, winning three consecutive victories, and the record became 18-7!

……

After the game, as the leader of the Jazz team who began to lead the team to wear down the Jazz with attrition tactics in the second half of the first quarter, Liu Mang accepted a post-game interview.

The questions asked are all about the perception of the game, how to resist when they are behind, why they choose to play against the Jazz team with strong fast-break ability, etc., very common questions.

Liu Mang also answered honestly.

If you don't be honest, Coach Kruger is almost watching with a knife.

"OK, Ace, your mind is as smart as the legend, and you found the Jazz's weaknesses all at once, and last question, what does your teammate Stockton think? I heard that he imitated your and Kobe's 'quotes' during the game. Finally, the reporter brought up a topic of relaxed atmosphere, a game is over, and the reporter himself knows why the players play so hard in the game, but the players don't like it.

If you really want to talk about it, who knows why they made those choices in the game? If he knew, McGee wouldn't be embarrassed every day.

The player has to be polite when asked to make up a bunch of official answers, and if you don't ask it, the player doesn't answer happily.

What about Stockton? Liu Mang looked at the picture of a short middle-aged man smiling and listening, and a tall muscular man chattering and complaining after saying goodbye to Ratliff.

It's so different from the imagined Utah twins!

According to rumors, Stockton is the Jazz's hidden big devil, driving his teammates with passing, and dealing with opponents with obscene defense on the defensive end.

But now, Stockton seems to be really fast-forwarding to the year of confusion, and has seen everything! Malone is still the fiery stormtrooper ......

What do you think of Stockton?

Liu Mang thought for a while and replied: "Greatness will come to an end one day, but greatness will never be forgotten!" ”
