683. The curtain call of the Kings

"Rashid, that guy is what you call your strongest opponent? The most powerful striker you asked me to play for you more? Liu Mang looked at the big forward opposite, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"......" Rashid Wallace was silent.

The Kings have given fans a lot of small surprises this year, and with Webb missing more than 5o games, they have not fallen behind from the top teams, and they are still tenaciously ranked among the seven teams with the best regular season record in the league.

This season, the Hawks and Pacers have a far lead, with the Hawks 46-8 and the Pacers 41-14.

And the rest of the teams that have a chance to impact 6o wins, the Kings are still among them, behind the Timberwolves, Lakers, and Pistons, and the record has tied the Spurs' 37-17 record, tied for fifth in the league!

The Kings proved with practical actions that their strongest performance in the league in 2oo2 was not lucky, but unlucky, in addition to the referee factor, and their core power forward Chris Webber suffered consecutive injuries in the next two years.

Although Webber's comeback was stolen by Iverson this time, it is "allegedly" Webb recovered perfectly after this operation, and the knee injury will not hinder his strength, the 31-year-old has been selected for the first team once and twice in the second team in the past three years, and he is still at the top of his game in the eyes of people, and many fans and expert media are looking forward to how great the Kings will perform after his comeback.

On the Hawks' side, unlike Liu Mang and Iverson, the Hawks coaching staff and players don't pay much attention to the 76ers that Iverson now has, after all, the 76ers' strength this year is like that, and Iverson's comeback to the 76ers this year can't stir up any trouble.

On the Kings' side, they are only one win away from the Lakers, who are second in the West, and only two wins away from the Timberwolves, who are first in the West.

Now it is less than two years away from the 2oo2 Western Conference finals, and no one will forget the surprise brought to the people by the 2oo2 Western Conference finals.

The main point is that Webber has a better helper on the inside, and when Divac is old, they get a similar, longer-range Brad Miller, which makes fans look forward to how strong the Brad Miller partnership will be after Webb's return.

However, the imagination is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.

When Liu Mang forcibly added motivation to himself, he came to the Arco Arena with the emotion that the whole world was targeting him, and when he came to the court after the warm-up, he saw Webb...... Became fat!

Although it is not as exaggerated as Camp or Wen Baker, compared to the "slender" figure of the most gorgeous big forward in history that Liu Mang saw two years ago, it is almost unrecognizable!

Webber has never dressed so "less" to show his face in front of the fans, and he is in a suit and leather shoes when he is interviewed, and when he takes off his clothes and wears a jersey and shorts on the field, it is obvious that he is bigger than before!

Liu Mang seems to have seen a talented power forward with the naked eye, from the god-level power forward he saw two years ago who was not false at all, to the fat man who has become a blessing and has fallen from the ranks of the strongest players.

"Ding...... Chris Webber, Ability rating 82, offense 89, defense 73, three-point 4o, mid-range shooting 83, layup 89, passing 8o, degree 75, power 89......"

The decline is so serious! Except for the strength that has become more powerful because of the tonnage, in other aspects, Weber is completely inferior to before!

Liu Mang felt that Weber's 5-year, 8ooo huge contract extension signed by the Kings in 2oo2 was planted in his hands, and he remembered that Webber's contract was cut by the 76ers with Houston clauses before it was finished......

And the main reason, without a doubt, is injury!

Minimally invasive surgery is horrible!

Minimally invasive surgery is a surgery that was only discovered in 1987, and it has only really begun to enter people's lives since the new century, so at this stage, many people, including professional sports people, do not know how much impact this surgery has on athletic ability, because not many people will choose to use this kind of surgery that has not been completely perfected, Weber is a pioneer in minimally invasive surgery in the NBA, and it is precisely because of this operation that his explosive power and degree have seriously declined.

In the future, Stoudemire and Maddie will both slip directly from top stars or even superstars to the point that they can't hit the ball after minimally invasive surgery.

Of course, if you don't have minimally invasive surgery, maybe Webb's injury won't be good, maybe like many superstars who collapse after the age of 3O, they won't be able to play for two years, and even they can't play straight away from being reimbursed for repeated injuries.

So whether or not to do minimally invasive surgery is just the difference between miserable and even worse.

Sighing at Weber's sentimental encounter, Liu Mang asked Rashid Wallace, who had not spoken: "Rashid, do you want to make more balls for you today?" ”

Although Liu Mang is alone, he also knows the opportunity to give his teammates to perform, recently because Maddie is not as strong as Maddie, Liu Mang maintains an average of three points per game of two points per game, and has been firmly ahead of Maddie by more than two points, so he is also happy to let his teammates show more.

"Don't, it's boring, Ace, come on, you see Peja wants to win too." Rasheed Wallace shook his head, no longer having the strong desire to split up with Webb.

Seeing that Rashid Wallace seemed to have 'disdain' on his face, Liu Mang was a little surprised and roared at Tianzun...... I've actually learned to be arrogant! Who did these guys from their own team learn from? One is more shameless than the other!

……

Rasheed Wallace is not interested, Raheem has sacrificed a lot for the championship this year, and he is not interested in this kind of thing in the regular season, he has given up a lot of things, and he is firmly committed to team honor this season, Jason Terry is the sixth man, he is the team arrangement, and he has always played like that.

So, today Liu Mang is starting to wave again!

Once the game began, Rasheed Wallace easily won the jump ball from Webb, who had gained more than 2o pounds, or more than a dozen kilograms.

Brad Miller has a poor jump ball, and the Kings fans who were expecting Webb to come back and win the jump ball again are now disappointed, and Webb can't jump now!

After Liu Mang received the jump ball, he advanced to the frontcourt, facing Doug Christie, who was in the first team of the best defensive team last season, Liu Mang did not choose to fight hard, after advancing to the front court, seeing Christie defending, Liu Mang chose to block and dismantle with Rasheed Wallace! Specifically for Weber.

Rashid Wallace ran up to help Liu Mang block Christie's defense, Webb moved quickly for the first time, and followed Rashid Wallace's footsteps to delay Liu Mang's block and cut.

But!

Liu Mang's level 5 blocking and demolition master touched the back, and the degree broke 100! If it was the previous Weber, relying on his strength and good movement ability, he could still interfere with Liu Mang, and now Weber encountered Liu Mang's change of direction after blocking and dismantling, and wanted to forcibly keep up, but he almost fell!

Liu Mang passed Weber with a change of direction, and Christie, who bypassed the block and chased after the defense, only saw the picture of Liu Mang entering the interior line and playing Brad Miller with his feet, and watched Liu Mang use his trademark wriggling steps to fly Brad Miller and smash the ball into the basket on the spot!

The strongest first step is really easy to use, encountering a soft and slower but defensively active center like Brad Miller, Liu Mang has the opportunity to block a two-meter-twenty-six giant!

On the defensive end, Liu Mang motioned for others to block his defender and let Rashid Wallace defend Webb alone.

It's a little less friendly, but it's effective.

It is a very important kind of NBA tactics to let the team's strongest players have one-on-one singles without being interfered with by others, although Weber is a little fatter, he is still the best in the hearts of the Kings players, but now he has just come back, and he will come back after he recovers from injury, there is not much training time, and he needs the ball to find his state, so after he has the opportunity to play alone, the Kings players hand the ball to him more.

It's just that Webb really can't beat Rasheed Wallace, who is focused on defense!

Rasheed Wallace can work with Ben Wallace to lock Duncan and O'Neal's defensive giants!

Although Weber is definitely better than Divac, who was on the verge of retirement, even if Weber is not in good shape, he always needs to find his form when he comes back, he is not in good shape, and he also met Rashid Wallace, who went all out to defend when he saw him, after Liu Mang sacrificed this "insidious" defensive strategy, Webber came up to face Rashid Wallace's first attack, and he was hit with a big hat with a head and face.

Liu Mang was prepared, rushed in and immediately counterattacked when he saw the ball, shook off Christie, who pounced, and counterattacked with a single knife!

"Ding...... I'm a pioneer......"

"Ding...... Fancy dunk touches ......"

Liu Mang rushed to the opponent's basket, no one followed, Christie, a defensive maniac, gave up, Liu Mang shook him off, and the skyrocketing degree after Liu Mang shook him off, rushed to the opponent's basket Liu Mang turned his body 18o degree back dunk and smashed the ball into the basket!

was capped, of course Webb wanted to fight back, but unfortunately in the next few rounds, Webber only shot 1 of 5, and he was slow to break into the inside, and his height was severely limited by the back hit, and he continued to hit iron.

And Liu Mang fought back when the whole team helped grab rebounds and block and dismantle, and shot in various ways when he didn't have a chance to fall into the position, or saw Christie's retreat and snipe quickly around the block and dismantle after blocking and dismantling, or broke into the interior to make kills, and played for more than five minutes.

The Hawks went on a 14-4 run, except for Webb who scored one, and Mike Bibby didn't give the ball after Webb hit only one of five consecutive shots, and he forced Prince to foul and get two free throws to score two points, and the Kings' offense completely stalled!

It's time for the Hawks to attack again, Liu Mang is hi, after catching Rashid Wallace to block and dismantle, when Webb pounces, Liu Mang resists Webb's defense and makes a strong three-point shot!

"Ding...... King of Dry Pull Level 5 Touch ......"

Weber's height of two meters and six meters did give Liu Mang some pressure, but the king of dry pulling corrected Liu Mang's affected shot tilt, and with the feeling of Liu Mang's first few shots, Liu Mang blocked and dismantled Weber's three-point defense Yanshe hit!

17 to 4, less than six minutes after playing, the difference was stretched to more than 1o points!

Adelman finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout!

Webber was so targeted, and the other side did not include Webber at all, which surprised Adelman, because although Webber is fat, he has been the top power forward in the league in the past two years, and was once comparable to Duncan and Garnett, and is a head taller than Nowitzki and Rasheed Wallace, and has been selected for a while in the OO-O1 season.

Webber is still the best interior player on the Kings team, there is no doubt about it, so Adelman immediately changed his tactics back to the tactics of previous seasons after Webber's return, but he didn't expect the Hawks to play like this, and Rasheed Wallace also guarded Weber!

Originally, in Adelman's opinion, even if Webber slipped a lot, it was unlikely that the Eagles' interior defense would be able to defend against Weber, but he didn't expect that the original defensive sieve would actually become a top defensive inside!

Rasheed Wallace's data is dismal, and the defensive performance is often not reflected in data, which is also the reason why the original Rasheed Wallace was not taken seriously before the Pistons won the championship, Adelman now knows that the Hawks players and coaching staff often say that Rasheed Wallace is the most important reinforcement, not a swollen face and a fat man, but it is true!

Obviously, the current Kings are in a very embarrassing situation, without Webb, they are still the top team, and they still have a chance to compete for the third place in the league, but now that Webber is back, Adelman is bound to put Webber back in the core position, after all, this is the top ten players in the league in terms of salary, but the strength of the team will definitely fluctuate a lot!

The point is, Adelman also had to let Webber play more time to find his form! Good coaches are very sensitive, and Adelman clearly feels that the tacit understanding that the team originally cultivated in Webb's absence may be wiped out because of this!

……

After the timeout returned, the two teams began to rotate.

Stockton hesitated to play the whole game last time and was expected to have to rest for a few days, and Liu Mang took the field with a lineup of Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Rashid Wallace.

There was no substitution on the Kings' side, but a change in the style of play, Webber no longer had the opportunity to keep the ball alone, and became a pick-and-roll organizer, using his mid-range shooting ability and down-and-down ability to help Bibby organize the offense.

It's just that this style of play makes Webber unhappy, and he is lazy and lazy when blocking and dismantling, just like the reason why Weber was traded in the original history, every time he encounters this situation, he will be unhappy, and the worse he plays.

Although the Kings' offense began to improve a lot after Bi Bi took control of the ball, Peja finally had a chance to catch the ball and shoot, he had already seen Liu Mang unhappy, and he had long wanted to counterattack when he saw Liu Mang score 11 points in the first quarter, but he was always seized by Webb, very unhappy but unable to do it.

The offense on the Kings' side has improved, and the Hawks' offense is even sharper!

is still playing Weber, Liu Mang is very sorry for Weber's chances, although Weber is only 31 years old, but in this state when he returns from a serious injury, it is obviously a twilight of his career, but as an opponent, Liu Mang will not be soft, the other party has weaknesses, of course, we must fight for this point! He is not a philanthropist, there is no such thing as "respecting the old and loving the young" in the game, after tasting the loophole of using Webber to target the Kings a few minutes ago, Liu Mang specifically picked Weber's point to play.

Liu Mang scored 11 points in the first quarter, and after the defensive pressure of the Kings came to him, Liu Mang paused and came back to start the passing mode, and only scored 3 points in the next six minutes, a mid-range shot, and hit a free throw with a foul, but he sent 3 assists in the half quarter, revitalizing the team's offense!

At the end of the quarter, the Hawks led by 17 points at 36-19!

The Kings played well for more than six minutes, scoring 15 points, but played too poorly in the first half of the quarter, scoring only 4 points, and were led by the Hawks by 17 points in the first quarter!

When Adelman used Webber as a player to open up space, the Kings did play well, but after the Hawks took a 17-point lead, Liu Mang either passed the ball or scored by himself, Webber played at Webber when he was there, and opened up the point difference, even if the Kings played Webb's rest time out of the state they should have this season and narrowed part of the point difference, but whenever Webber came up, both offensive and defensive ends became a black hole used by the Hawks, and overall, the Hawks have always maintained a lead of more than ten points!

The situation was deadlocked, and when there were more than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mike Bibby scored 9 points in a row, once narrowing the gap to 8 points, which scared the Hawks, but then Liu Mang scored 8 points in a row, breaking through 4o points in his personal score, and once again stretched the difference to more than 1o points, killing the momentum of the Kings' counterattack.

In the end, Liu Mang got 4o points, 6 rebounds and 1o assists in 14 of 29 shots, at least 4o+1o for the third time this season, setting a new record for the number of assists in a single season for players in the history of the Hawks, while the Hawks defeated the Kings 112-98 and won 7 consecutive victories!

The Kings are playing very well, after all, they are tied with the Spurs for the fifth record in the league, and the Kings are originally very strong, but Webber's comeback has obviously affected their chemistry.

Webb, who scored 8 points and 6 rebounds on 3-of-13 shooting, not only had a bad offensive performance, but he also had the strength of the rebounding king, and the decline in defensive rebounds was the most serious, and there is no doubt that Webber's performance in this game was very disappointing.

Especially his current body shape, people seem to see the curtain call of an era, and it is clear that the era of the talented Kings team has not yet begun, and the curtain is about to end......

……

……

To say how miserable Webb was, not only did he play badly in the comeback show, but the key was that he had such a miserable performance and failed to make headlines!

Iverson, who came back on the same day as him, played a surprising performance when he faced the Pistons, who had the third record in the East and are now 36-19, in his comeback show!

Before the game between the 76ers and the Pistons, people saw Webber's poor form after spending most of the season, and they didn't have much hope for Iverson's comeback show.

But the more hopeless the unexpected happens, the more surprising it is!

Iverson faced the Pistons, shooting 6-of-22 from the field was really bad, but he also got 14 assists! In addition, he also grabbed a frontcourt rebound at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, and made a double-double for the seventh time in his career, and at the same time caused Ben Wallace to foul, hit both free throws, and established a 4-point lead at the critical moment, and got a triple-double of 23 points, 1o boards and 14 assists in the whole game.

Relying on Iverson's power at a critical moment, the 76ers were upset and defeated the Pistons 99-96!

After winning the game, Iverson asked the reporter to tell Liu Mang in an interview: "Let Ace wash his ass and wait for his buddies to kick!" That bastard doesn't get beaten and doesn't know who's the boss! ”

……

Iverson's desire to beat Liu Mang is very strong now.

In addition to wanting to "retaliate" against Liu Mang's previous curse, there is also the matter of scoring the king.

Iverson's previous highest average score per game for winning the scoring title was 31.4 points, and Liu Mang is now averaging 32.6 points per game, which is higher than Maddy's average of 32.1 points per game last season, and Liu Mang's scoring title this year is getting more and more stable, Maddy's average score per game has not been able to go up in 30 points, and before the game between the Hawks and the 76ers, Maddy's average score per game was 3o.3 points.

As the season deepens, it is becoming more and more difficult for Maddie to fight against Liu Mang, and now Maddie has to score 6 more points per game than the average score per game every time he wants to improve 0.1 point, and if he wants to surpass Liu Mang, he has to average at least 35 points per game in the remaining 2o games.

Only two people have done this in the past decade or so, one is Jordan in the '86-87 season, who scored 35+ points 11 times in a row, four + games in a row, and averaged 38 points per game in all games after the All-Star Weekend.

The second is Kobe Bryant last season, who had 13 consecutive 35+ performances, had 9 consecutive 4o+ games in February, and averaged 4o+ per game in a single month, counting the average of 31 points per game in March, and averaged 35+ per game in two months.

Aside from these two, no one in modern basketball has ever completed the daunting task of Maddie trying to catch up with Liu Mang's points per game average.

Moreover, Liu Mang's current scoring momentum is also very strong, Maddie is trying to catch up, and Liu Mang will not watch it.

Therefore, basically Liu Mang can already determine the ownership of the scoring champion when there are more than 2o games left.

Of course, there may also be a situation where O'Neal and David Robinson grabbed the scoring title back then, Maddie first stabilized the current average score gap per game, and did not let himself be pulled too far, and in the last two or three crazy shots, Maddy's scoring ability is obviously stronger than David Robinson, if he is forced to add fifty or sixty in a few consecutive games, it is not impossible.

This is also the media's prediction that Maddie and Liu Mang will compete for the scoring title.

But Iverson is also a scorer, and he knows how difficult it is to get 6o+, and it is difficult for Maddie to perform such a miracle, so he is even more unhappy now!

The little brother of the year is going to surpass his average points per game and win the scoring title!

Is it tolerable or unbearable!
