197. A rookie who is interested in all supergiants
More than anyone to shoot!
The Hawks counterattacked at a fast pace, no matter how the 76ers dragged the rhythm, they were counterattacks, and then Liu Mang began to shoot wildly.
The 76ers deserved to be the overall runner-up last season, although the strength declined this year due to various comprehensive reasons, but Larry Brown's defensive control is still excellent, the pace is very slow, no matter how the Hawks speed up, when they attack slowly, and then Iverson shoots wildly.
The 76ers home fans were stunned!
A rookie and Iverson's score?
For the Hawks, the 76ers don't have any special feelings, although they were unhappy that Raheem said Iverson when Raheim made a fuss before, but whoever sprayed the Lakers is a friend of the 76ers, and there is not much bad feeling for the Hawks overall, so there is no boo.
Seeing that Liu Mang played more than half a quarter of the game at night, the number of shots was about to catch up with Iverson, and I felt that the three views collapsed!
Moreover, this kid is actually the same as Iverson, he shoots crazy but doesn't look tired!
By halftime, the Hawks trailed the 76ers by five points, 44-49.
The score comparison between Liu Mang and Iverson is 21 to 23, remaining at 2 points!
Iverson was dumbfounded, this rookie is crazy!
There were several occasions when the Hawks had chances to overtake the score, but the rookie was stunned and didn't pass to the empty Raheem and the empty Jason Terry!
Iverson used to occasionally wonder if he was alone, but now he is sure that he is too "selfless"! This rookie is unique!
Liu Mang scored 21 points and made 19 shots! Freshed a new personal half-time shooting high! He was just a drop short of his 21 shots, which were the most shots he took in the whole game.
Scored 21 points on 19 shots, which is frighteningly inefficient!
Do the math, Kobe Bryant averaged 25 points on 20 shots per game this season, Maddy averaged nearly 26 points on 21 shots per game, and Pierce averaged 27 points on 22 shots per game, and Antoine Walker's average of 21 shots per game and Iverson's average of 28.8 shots per game and 32 points per game can be on par with Liu Mang's efficiency in this half of the game!
Liu Mang averaged 46 percent per game and 41 percent three-point shooting this season, which is quite an excellent efficiency, and he only averaged 16 points per game, which is regarded as one of the key reasons for the best rookies in recent years.
However, Liu Mang's average number of shots per game is 11 times, which is actually less than the average number of shots of 29 players who are regarded as the sixth man in 29 teams in the league, because he makes more fouls, averages a few free throws of 5.00 per game, and the shooting rate is also higher than that of almost all outside sixth men, of course, the shooting rate of interior players playing sixth man is more than 50%.
Liu Mang successfully made 19 shots in the first half of the day today, only hitting 7 times, counting the 3 fouls caused and 6 free throws and 5 hits, he must have made more than 20 shots!
It looks like Iverson made 17 shots in the half, hitting 7 of them, including three-pointers, and hitting all 8 free throws is really not bad.
Liu Mang used practical actions to "equal" or even "surpass" Iverson's inefficient offense......
……
Halftime break.
Generally speaking, a rookie sixth person dares to throw like this, and if he doesn't pass the ball many times, he will definitely be scolded to death.
But Coach Kruger thinks it's normal!
If this rookie who owes a beating doesn't do something, he really doesn't look like him.
Moreover, this is a back-to-back game, Coach Kruger's brain supplement ability is strong, seeing that Jason Terry and Raheem did not complain about anything, and took the initiative to open up the space, I felt that these two people were probably not physically fit, so they made a wedding dress for Liu Mang, and the division of labor between the three young people was clear, and this back-to-back should be Liu Mang, a rookie with explosive physical fitness, to go to Gang, so I felt that there was nothing wrong.
If Liu Mang knew Coach Kruger's brain replenishment ability, he would definitely kneel, he was still worried about whether he would be scolded to death by the coach, but at halftime, Coach Kruger continued to arrange a lineup suitable for him, Jason Terry continued to play, Crick Crawford, a small forward with good defensive and mobile ability, and rebounding, went to top Rahim's position, and replaced Muhammad and Alan Anderson on the inside.
The other players of the Hawks except for four starters and one bench are really average at most, and the Pistons, Nets and even the 76ers and Celtics are incomparable, but they also have advantages, their physical fitness is not bad, they are good at grabbing rebounds, Crick Crawford averages 3 points and 4 boards per game, Alan Anderson is old, not as good as the average of 13+8 per game at his peak five years ago, but as a substitute who averages eight or nine minutes of playing time per game, he can get an average of 2 points and 4 boards per game, and the rebounding efficiency is really high, and the Hawks have the first rebounding in the East, Not only does it rely on the top three highs in the starting lineup, but the rebounds in the rotation lineup are also strong.
Coach Kruger not only scolded Liu Mang, but also encouraged Liu Mang to make a brave move when he was about to enter, so that Liu Mang felt that the coach was not feeling well today and had a fever? He was ready to be scolded miserably.
"Coach, I'm going up and scoring?" Liu Mang asked tentatively.
"Well, Jason, you did a good job of opening up the space, Ace, if your shot could be more stable, you should be more decisive when wrapping the trap, Chris and Jason, who of you has a worse opponent with three points, you will decisively go up and trap Iverson, the effect may be better!" Coach Kruger didn't hear the meaning of Liu Mang's words, and continued to make arrangements for Liu Mang's 'task'.
……
Liu Mang didn't know that he was so "excellent" in the eyes of the coach, and he didn't understand why he wasn't scolded, anyway, now he has become the main attacker! Continue to have unlimited firing rights! His teammates are also happy to help him, and the chances of completing the mission are much greater!
It's not safe to tighten the score in the first half, everyone knows that the more these superstars get to the second half of the game, the more terrible the score is!
At the beginning of the second half, the Hawks attacked first, Liu Mang advanced to the front court with the ball, and Iverson defended it.
"I said rookie, I think, you don't want to score with me, right?" Iverson is not a person who talks a lot of trash, of course he will, but he rarely sprays, at most he sprayed Kobe Bryant in the finals, and the East Final sprayed Carter so much that he couldn't take care of himself, and he disdained to spray most opponents.
But today he was really surprised, he hadn't seen an opponent who was crazier than himself for a long time, and he had made seven or eight shots in the first half of the game, because he was likely to shoot more in the second half, and the rookie on the opposite side played 17 minutes in the first half and shot 19 times, almost half of the shots of everyone in the Hawks, Iverson was very curious, very curious, and became interested in this rookie.
Liu Mang dribbled the ball and heard Iverson's curious question, the whole person is not good, don't be curious! Why are all superstars curious when they see Xiaoye? Master is not a girl, you are curious!
"You're wrong, I didn't!" Liu Mang flatly denied it!
