19 points in a single quarter, for a first-class star, even a quasi-first-class star, it is not a big deal.

And Mike James, a role player among role players, actually scored 19 points in a single quarter!

I have an impression of this person Liu Mang, a very inspirational player, who was panning for gold in Europe before, returned to the United States to play at the age of 25, and was unsuccessful, in the 01-02 season, he was signed by the Heat team as a trainer, yes, he was a trainer, with a monthly salary of 3000 US dollars, and at the end of the season, he got two ten-day short contracts from the Heat to play 15 games, and signed a one-year final salary with the Heat after the 2001-2002 season with hard work, Named one of the most inspirational sports figures of 2002 by ESPY, the Oscars of the sports world, he signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Celtics as a backup point guard this past summer.

Who would have thought that this player would suddenly explode in a game with such a big difference in strength!

The Hawks were beaten in the third quarter, and after the third quarter, the score was tied 78-78 by the Celtics!

Coach Krueger hurriedly replaced the main lineup, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Rahim, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff.

But after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the Hawks did not have an absolute advantage as in the first half, Liu Mang and Jason Terry's backcourt double wave maintained the offensive firepower of the Hawks' side, but the Celtics' offense was completely opened, Chakey Atkins and Mike James The short backcourt combination ran and played happily, Pierce played with confidence in the third quarter, and played quite steadily in the face of Raheem's tough defense, and when it came time for the score to be pulled away by the Hawks, He stepped up and scored a mid-range single, and then relied on the regular attacks of Atkins and Mike James to keep the score tight.

The most important thing is that Rasheed Wallace worked too hard at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the first half, and his physical strength could allow him to concentrate on offense all over the court, or concentrate on defense all over the court, and even play overtime, but he didn't have the ability to stay focused on both ends of the offense and defense, and even because he was too desperate in the first half, even if he didn't play at halftime and the third quarter, he came up to defend for a while in the fourth quarter, and he obviously lacked physical strength, and the offensive end shot was soft, and the defensive end couldn't keep up with the footsteps of the new force Reeve Lafrentz, As a result, Rutliff had to guard against Mark Blunt's desperate Saburo on the inside, as well as Lafrentz's air cut, which made Rutliff unable to take care of the head and tail.

It's okay to say, the point is that Lafrentz has the ability to shoot three-pointers!

Halfway through the fourth quarter, with Pierce's step-back three-point jumper, the Celtics managed to win 95-93 and overtake the score by two points!

The Eagles called a timeout, and with 5 minutes and 32 seconds left, the timeout became an official timeout.

Looking at Mike James, who has already scored the second highest score in the game with 26 points, Liu Mang is so painful, mainly because of the Celtics' two speed dual point guards, which are too difficult to deal with!

In the first half, only one Atkins or Mike James came off the bench was okay, Liu Mang and Stockton could defend it, but in the fourth quarter, Celtics head coach Jim O'Brien sent Atkins and Mike James both on the court at the same time, with a posture of clearly giving up the outside defense and attacking, Liu Mang couldn't prevent one and couldn't prevent two!

And after trying in the third quarter, Prince is not good at guarding Mike James or Atkins, the speed of the two is too fast, Rao Prince can go from one to four, and he can't prevent these two one-meter-eight point guards.

"Don't rush! There are 5 minutes left! Let's not rush, play slowly, Ace, John, you go on the court, defend the two point guards of the opposing side, Sharif, Carlos, you partner with the forwards, defend Pierce and Lafrentz, run, play the offense, Theo...... No, Kwame you go up and use your speed and confrontation to hold the basket! "Coach Kruger is just giving it a go.

I didn't expect the game to come to this point at all, Rashid Wallace is obviously lacking in physical strength, Coach Kruger feels that it is not for nothing that Rashid Wallace became a defensive hole in the Trail Blazers, that Trail Blazers, the inside line points to Rasheed Wallace to score, the outside line points to the flying squirrel, Pippen is just the organizer, it is too difficult to score at such an age.

After this game, Coach Kruger's coaching staff really understood the strengths and weaknesses of Rashid Wallace, and for the future, there is a clearer way to use Rashid Wallace, but at this stage, Rashid Wallace can only rest first, and now the goal is to win.

And Rutliff has the same tired feeling for the Celtics' two interior lines as he did against Kenyon Martin, so Coach Kruger replaced Kwame Brown, expecting Kwame Brown, who played the best performance of his career in the last game, to continue his good performance, and when Ratliff rested in the second and third quarters, Kwame Brown performed well, scoring 7 points and 6 boards.

Stockton moved his body, what did he come to the Eagles for? Isn't that what comes on at this time? It's here to press for the Hawks at a critical moment.

Kwame Brown is also excited, this is the first time in his career that he has appeared in a crucial moment!

……

After the timeout, the Celtics still sent Atkins, Mike James, Pierce, Lafrentz, and Mark Blunt in the second half to play a crazy 56-36 scoring performance.

The Eagles attacked, the ball in the front court, Stockton received the serve, organized the attack, the Hawks put on the tactics of blocking and dismantling the attack, and Liu Mang cut under the basket without the ball.

Raheem came to the left side of the basket and took Pierce away, Liu Mang cut to the basket, Mike James followed behind him, Kwame Brown blocked Mike James on the inside, Liu Mang bypassed Mark Blunt from the baseline to the right side of the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, while Liu Mang cut into the basket, Stockton and Boozer on the outside were blocked at the same time, Stockton borrowed Boozer to block and dismantle, and the right side burst to the middle distance, Stockton's mid-range shooting threat was too great, Both Atkins and Lafrentz defended towards Stockton, and at mid-range, Atkins couldn't defend against Stockton's mid-range shots, and Lafrentz couldn't defend against Stockton's breakaway.

After Boozer blocked Stockton, he made a very crucial judgment, did not cut in from the left side to take away the defense of Atkins or Lafrenc, did not help Stockton attract the defense and let Stockton shoot or break through, but let Stockton be trapped, bypassed Stockton's back, and came to the right 45-degree angle of the middle distance! Liu Mang just ran out of Boozer, and at this time, Mike James, who was just about to rely on speed to bypass Kwame Brown to chase Liu Mang, was blocked by Boozer!

Stockton, who was caught in the bag, did not panic, clearly judged the running position on the field, and sent the ball to Liu Mang at the moment when Liu Mang borrowed Boozer's second block to appear in the gap.

Liu Mang received the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, adjusted it, and decisively threw the ball out!

Perfect tactical positioning, perfect shooting opportunities, perfect shooting rhythm, and both Marksman level 5 and block master level 5 are triggered.

In the boos of the audience, Liu Mang's three-point shot hit hollow shot!

The basket didn't touch it, and after entering the basket, there was a burst of net flowers!

This seems to be Liu Mang's first time partnering with Stockton in an official game, and the feeling of catching and shooting is fantastic!

However, Liu Mang's desire to snipe the Celtics' popularity by three points did not seem to have much obvious effect, and the Celtics were still imposing!
