1387. Dragon Slayer Warriors
"All-time leading scorer"
This is the headline that ESPN gave Liu Mang.
The only player in history to score 80+ in a single game twice.
Although it was more difficult to score 90 points this time than last time, it was not until the last 19 seconds that he scored 81 points on the 28th ball, but this time it was more amazing than last time!
When Liu Mang scored 90 points, not many people thought before the game that Liu Mang could score 80 points in Kobe Bryant, and he could score so many points in a single game.
That time he played the Clippers, the Clippers knew that Liu Mang would definitely score high that day, but they didn't think that they had just been scored 80 points by Kobe Bryant the day before, and Liu Mang would be able to beat them the next day.
But this time is different, Liu Mang has proven that he has the ability to score 90 points in a single game, and the Raptors have also carefully prepared a strategy to defend him, Liu Mang is relying on the help of Rondo and Maddy to create one-on-one opportunities, and Shengsheng has scored 28 goals, plus 11 three-point shots in a single game that can rank in the top ten in history.
Refreshed the ranking of the second place in the individual single-game score, and increased his previous personal second-highest score of 71 in a single game to 81 points!
However, fans also found a more terrifying point, Liu Mang has hit 10+ three-point shots in a single game for the 6th time, in addition to Liu Mang, up to now, other players in NBA history combined, a total of only 7 single-game 10+ three-point hits, Kobe Bryant once, Marshall once, Ray Allen once, Brian Shaw once, Joe Dumas once, Dennis Scott once, George McLeod once, Liu Mang alone, is about to catch up with everyone else combined!
If the scope is extended to at least 9 three-pointers in a single game, there are a total of 56 times in history, others have 35 times, Liu Mang alone has 21 times, and behind Liu Mang are Kobe Bryant and Ben Gordon, who is only in the third year, both of them have 5 9 three-point shots in a single game, but the total is less than half of Liu Mang!
The most pity is that Maddie once made eight three-pointers in a row, or in the face of LeBron James's defense, but after the hand was broken, he never continued it, and his physical fitness did not allow him to continue to soar.
After the last month's games, Liu Mang has soared from an average of 4.1 three-point shots per game in the previous two months to an average of 4.5 three-point shots per game!
Fans thought that after the emergence of so many strong teams with big lineups, players like Liu Mang would be greatly restricted, but they didn't expect Liu Mang to soar even more!
After beating the Raptors, the Hawks' record improved to 31-15 and won a wave of five straight wins!
Liu Mang was not favored to score 700 points in a single month, but he scored 81 points in this game, and with two games left, he was only 46 points away from 700 points in a single month, and the next two games of the Hawks were against the Knicks, basically there was no suspense, Liu Mang will become the second player in history to score 700 points in a single month.
The United States is discussing Liu Mang, who has been very hot recently, from the data level, and the domestic ...... The style of painting is strange......
"Treasure Sword Slaying Dragon, Command the World, Don't Dare to Disobey"
This kind of sentence, which is completely incomprehensible to American fans, has become the comment given by the commentator of the imperial court station after Liu Mang's game, and the classics quoted have also been used as headlines by major sports media.
What's more, "Dragon Slayer Warrior" is directly used as the title.
Compared with Liu Mang's last time he got 90+ and 70+ before, the fans' senses this time are very different.
When Liu Mang got such a high score before, the fans were shocked, but this time they felt crazy!
Wilt Chamberlain has scored 70+ 7 times, although there are superstars who can score 70+ in a single game, but at most once, Michael Jordan, the first person in NBA history, has a maximum score of "only" 69 points, and played an overtime for a full 50 minutes, which is basically the top embodiment of Jordan's scoring ability.
Now Liu Mang has been 70+ three times, and he is only 24 years old, with 100 points in a single game...... This Liu Mang is basically impossible to break, after all, the opponent is not a fool, after Liu Mang scores to a certain extent, he still wants to continue to score, the opponent will definitely be infinitely pinched, and he would rather lose than become the background for Liu Mang to break the historical record, after all, Liu Mang has scored 90 points, and it is not so difficult to accept that he scored 81 points.
But in the future, Liu Mang is very likely to break the 70+ number of games maintained by Chamberlain!
Unlike Chamberlain, who entered the NBA at the age of 23 and immediately began to dominate the scoring list and score to the extreme, Liu Mang is getting stronger year by year, although Liu Mang only averages 33.2 points per game this season, which is not as terrifying as the previous two scoring champion seasons, but Liu Mang is obviously more difficult to defend than at the beginning, this time the Raptors are prepared, and Liu Mang who relied on Rondo and Maddy's pass to get 81 points, want to win the Hawks, and want to prevent Liu Mang from scoring, which is too difficult.
Either like the Bulls to defend the first in the league, or like Popovich who recklessly hinders Liu Mang from scoring, otherwise with the regular season penalty scale, Liu Mang can't be stopped from scoring at all.
However, this time, Liu Mang scored 81 points in a single game, which made many TV stations regret it to the point of vomiting blood!
Because the Hawks played the Spurs in the previous game, Liu Mang only shot 6 of 19, and the score of 27 points was normal, not high, and the possibility of hitting 700 points in a single month suddenly decreased, and Liu Mang broke off 50+ in a row, playing the Raptors, the fourth team in the East, the media, felt that Liu Mang was unlikely to get a high score.
Who knew that the head of the Raptors was so iron, after Liu Mang scored 58 points in the third quarter, he still only had a double bag for Liu Mang.
There was nothing wrong with wanting to win, and the Eagles only won by four points in the end.
But the fans only watched the results, and the result was that Liu Mang scored 81 points, and the Eagles still won.
And this 81-point game...... In addition to the live broadcast in Canada, there is no live broadcast in the United States, and there is no live broadcast on the Imperial Court Channel, but there is a live broadcast in the United Kingdom, but there are too few countries and regions that broadcast this game live......
Liu Mang regained the headlines from the All-Star starting list announcement and the recent series of big and small trades and trade messages, but the game was not broadcast live in the United States, which made those TV stations regret it.
……
"Ace, and ......"
"Refusal, all refusal, I can't stand it!"
Liu Mang directly didn't want to listen to the team's press officer.
After playing the Raptors yesterday, a bunch of reporters surrounded the interview after the game, and today when I arrived in New York, Liu Mang was going to take a day off and slowly fatigue the nerves for the next back-to-back games against the Knicks at home and abroad, who knew that it would be another bunch of interviews.
After dealing with the exclusive interviews of several large TV stations, newspapers, and magazines, Liu Mang did not want to do any interviews.
Press officer Gary Kyle didn't continue to force Liu Mang, those big TV stations before had to force Liu Mang to be interviewed, those guys can't be offended, and the rest will refuse if they refuse.
After Gary Kyle left, Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the sofa in the room.
"System Boss, cut down my system props."
Liu Mang felt that it was necessary to find something happy and adjust his tired nerves.
"Ding...... The host now has Rogue Points: 27146629 Points, Superstar Points: 312585 Points, 792 Skill Upgrade Cards, 69 Primary Injury Potions, 119 Physical Potions, 6 Intermediate Injury Potions, 3 Bounce Cards, Special Cards: Atlanta's Fury, Kobe Bryant's Peak Card Special Edition, Jason Kidd & Deron Williams Selectable Star Cards......"
Looking at this pile of props, mainly a few star cards, Liu Mang felt a lot more comfortable.
Physical fitness medicine and injury medicine can still be used for a period of time, Liu Mang has used a lot of injury medicine this season, sports, from another point of view, it can be regarded as a person who is constantly accumulating injuries for himself, especially several main players of the Hawks, who have played high-intensity playoffs for so many years, and now they are tired and prone to injury, like Pippen back then, after two triple championships, he went to the Rockets to get a big contract, and immediately began to suffer from injuries......
So the Hawks have few injuries, and there are occasional injuries that look miserable, and in the end they are all sprains, contusions, strains or something that can be recovered after a few days of rest, which makes many fans and media feel magical, even more magical than the Suns.
The Suns can heal you if they have a major injury, but the Hawks have no major injuries...... And because of the Trail Blazers' kind of go-who gets injured, even Zach Randolph, who has always been known for being grass tolerant, recently had a serious injury and had to rest for a month, which made fans feel that this was very reasonable.
There are teams with a medical team that is so good that it is against the sky, and there are teams with a medical group that is not even as good as a veterinarian......
Looking at the 312585 superstar value, Liu Mang couldn't help but want to draw again.
"System boss, let's have a superstar value lottery and designate star cards."
"Ding...... The host uses the Intermediate Superstar Value Lottery to designate the star card and consume 10,000 Superstar ......"
"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for getting a special card: Bounce Card ......"
"Uh...... Okay, it's okay......" drew the rebound card again, Liu Mang felt that this thing was a good thing, but he couldn't help but complain: "How long has it been since no one has committed a crime against the master!" ”
Seeing that the four rebound cards were useless, Liu Mang actually felt a little regretful......
"Bah, it's a good thing not to get hurt......" Liu Mang hurriedly dispersed that strange thought.
"System Boss, do it again!"
"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for receiving the Kenta Marshall Pinnacle Card. ”
“…… Why is it so bad luck today! 75 ability evaluation, this assist brush is not as good as ...... except for 99 passes, even Breven Knight"
Liu Mang turned off the system panel, so as not to be able to help but smoke again, today's luck is not good.
There are two games left in this month, and you only need to score a total of 46 points in these two games to get the scoring champion card!
After turning off the system, Liu Mang turned on the computer and paid attention to the news about the Grant Hill buyout, judging from the revelations from the media, it went smoothly, and now the key negotiations are underway, what is the specific buyout fee.
The buyout agreement doesn't mean that Grant Hill doesn't want money anymore, of course he wants as much as he wants, and the Magic team can give as little as they can, and it's going well.
……
……
Ace ...... Ace...... Ace ......"
On January 30, Liu Mang and his teammates came to the basketball mecca, Madison Square Garden, to challenge the Knicks away.
Knicks now...... The record is not up or down, the fourth from the bottom in the East, the seventh from the bottom in the league, the champion sign is not with them, and the playoffs are even farther, but their boss James Dolan, who has a very clear brain circuit, is stunned and does not allow the team to mess up, so he can only drag it like this.
Knicks fans, as in previous years, come here to see the visiting stars.
Liu Mang came to this stadium as if he was returning to play at home.
Liu Mang waved to the fans, causing bursts of cheers, but ...... Liu Mang didn't see any angry expressions from the opposing players, all he saw was numbness!
Liu Mang looked at the other party sitting at the end of the bench, how far away from Isaiah Thomas, the head coach and general manager of the Knicks, it seems that the rumors are true!
In early January, Marbury's father came to Madison Square Garden to watch the game, suffered a heart attack halfway, and was hopeless after being sent to the hospital, but at that time the Knicks had a chance to win, Isaiah Thomas did not let the staff tell Marbury about it, Marbury did not see his father for the last time, and Marbury hated Isaiah Thomas to death from then on.
Liu Mang took a look at the Knicks' lineup...... It's still coquettish...... With Marbury, Eddie Curry, and Quentin Richardson at the core, there are Marrick Rose, Jared Jeffries, Jerome James, and Shanton Anderson...... Wait for seven or eight role players with contracts above the middle class, even if the head coach is so bad that they can't do it, their results will not be particularly bad, and if you give a better head coach, you can actually rush to the playoffs in the East, and you can make up a good lineup with a salary of 130 million US dollars.
But the Knicks head coach is so bad, with a 16-31 record so far, and a winning rate of just over one-third.
There is zero communication between the players of the two teams, and the group of people in the Knicks nursing home have long been numb, and the fans can cheer for whoever they like, they don't want to care.
The TV stations learned to be obedient this time, anyway, the Eagles' game has no shortage of ratings, and when they think it should be added, they simply add it, the Hawks played the Raptors and they didn't add it, it was a mistake, this time it can't be a mistake again, the American cable TV station, which was supposed to broadcast the Knicks' home game live, broadcast the game live,. T also added this game, but unfortunately this game was Friday in domestic time, and the court station did not broadcast it live.
Imperial Court currently has live broadcasts four days a week, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
At 8 p.m. New York time, Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, attracting crazy cheers from fans in the basketball mecca, and the game began.
Kwame Brown won the jump ball from Eddie Curry with a look of contempt, and the Hawks took the lead on offense.
The Hawks' starting lineup is still the same, with Rondo plus the Hawks' four All-Stars.
On the Knicks' side, Stephen Marbury, Quentin Richardson, Jarrett Jeffries, Jerome James, Eddie Curry.
Liu Mang immediately rushed forward when Kwame Brown won the jump ball, and unexpectedly, the Knicks retreated quite quickly!
