202. The pot descends from heaven

ESPN Sports headline: "Here We Come! 》

The Hawks' win over the 76ers didn't make the headlines and was below the headlines.

Liu Mang surpassed O'Neal to become the youngest 40+ player in NBA history, and it didn't make the headlines.

Jason Terry's two god-killing three-pointers at a critical moment took away the game and didn't make the headlines.

But neither of them was the slightest bit dissatisfied!

Because on the headlines, the group photo of the three little Eagles stood for most of the main version!

Here we go!

ESPN helped Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Rahim declare to the league that we are the first in the East! Here we go!

Unlike at the beginning of the season, when people thought that this team had gone to hell and was first in the East, this time the Hawks really went from fourth in the East to playing half of the regular season and improved their record to first place in the East!

30-12, second only to the Kings (34-8) and the Spurs (32-10) for the first and second place in the West!

Originally, the Kings had the best start in franchise history with a 29-5 record, and then slammed into the terrifying California three-game losing streak in mid-January, suffering three straight defeats, but came back and stood firm to win five in a row and continue to dominate the league.

The Spurs are similar to the Hawks, falling to seventh in the West at the worst time, relying on their tenacious team style, and in January, when other teams cried and complained about many injuries and players' physical decline, they climbed to second in the West, drove the Mavericks to fourth in the West, and by the way, got the Lakers to fifth in the West.

Although the record of the first place in the East looks like it is in the top five in the West, maybe even if it enters the Finals, it is a life to send food, since Jordan retired, there is no team in the East that can compete with the Western giants, and the West has crushed the East in the Finals in the past three years.

However, the Eagles are already being considered promising!

A rookie, a short shooting guard who was considered a nerve knife from the beginning, and a trio of players who were thought to disappear from the league without knowing when they would someday, actually led the team to the first place in the East!

Liu Mang continued to be hot, scoring 42 points in a single game, breaking the new record of O'Neal in his rookie year in 1992 at the age of 20 to become a new record of 40+ players in a single game!

The new record is 19 years and 6 months! Liu Mang became the youngest 40+ player in history!

Liu Mang's occasional explosive output, Rahim's stability, scoring more than 20 points per game, Jason Terry's key ball attributes are beginning to appear, and the core combination of the three is highly anticipated!

……

The Hawks were also on fire this time, but they didn't have much time to enjoy that feeling of being in the spotlight during the hottest days, and after playing the 76ers on the 26th, they were about to fly from Philadelphia to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away.

The game was finally easy, and after trading for Artest, the Bulls were firmly in the bottom of the league, and even the Warriors in the West could not shake their bottom spot in the league.

Yesterday's press interview after the 76ers game was nothing short of fatal, as the Hawks were forced to do their first locker room interview this season and for the first time in years, adding nearly two hours to the time consumed after the game, and it was close to 1 o'clock for the Hawks to leave the Wallavia Center.

For the press officers and team executives, this is of course something that cannot be sought, this is the treatment that only popular teams have, and they finally feel that it is not that the locker room is not open for interviews before, but that there are no reporters when it is open, and there are only a few Atlanta reporters, and there are not so many questions to ask.

But it's not so happy for the players and the coaching staff, the players are okay, who doesn't want to make headlines, but too many interviews are tiring, and the coaching staff doesn't like this kind of scene, if they can, they are willing to be like the Spurs and Jazz......

Chicago is a good place, the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles, although the third is neglected because the boss and the second are too powerful, but in terms of urban architecture and wealth, Chicago is worthy of the boss and the second.

Jordan's appearance made Chicago finally enter the world, but after Jordan retired, Chicago fell silent again, whether it was basketball or the tourism industry here, it plummeted, so they were determined to grab Yao Ming and open the door to the world's largest tourism market and fan market.

The Eagles arrived at the Four Seasons Plaza Tump International Hotel in Chicago, yes, it was Trump's hotel again, and they fought away from home in a row, and they fell asleep at three or four o'clock last night, and they were forced to get up at 10 o'clock in the morning to pack up their things and take a plane.

However, there is an exception, a rookie with dark circles under his eyes is excitedly practicing military boxing......

The first cut of 40+ rewards 2000 superstar points, and get 40+ rewards, rewarding 500 superstar points.

Refresh the record of the youngest 40+, get 1000 superstar points, 5000 rogue points.

There are also close to 400 superstar points for winning games and stats.

Hit the headlines with the team again, get 5,000 hooligan points, and be more optimistic about getting 1,000 superstar points in his career.

Mission: Achieved against Iverson, the task rewards level 1 of the close-range stride throwing skill.

Iverson's career trajectory could change, and Iverson was rewarded with a pinnacle star card.

In one game, Liu Mang made a lot of money!

Sure enough, the military body boxing or something can best express the excitement in a person's heart! That kind of big opening and closing action, I felt so ugly when I was a freshman in military training, but now I practice it myself, and I feel quite handsome, mainly because those actions are too good to exert the power that my heart suppresses and dare not shout out loud.

10,000 rogue, 4,900 superstar.

That's not the point, the point is that there is one more way to score inside!

Liu Mang had inside footsteps before, but his finishing ability was average, and when he encountered confrontation, he only had the option of making fouls, and the opponent's shooting rate was a bit bleak compared to other strong point guards.

There is a player who is quite similar to Liu Mang at this stage, that is, Tony Parker of the Spurs, who is also not good at confrontation, but the inside shooting rate is higher than that of the inside player most of the time!

This is because Tony Parker is mostly throwing after breaking in, and because Duncan, Ginobili and Bowen can open up space, he is not like Iverson who enters the interior line is a few people in the bag, and the finishing success rate is extremely high!

Close-range throwing and layup are two concepts, the layup refers to the position of attacking to the basket and jumping, raising the basketball to approach the basket and then putting the ball in with one hand or wiping the board into it, that is, the ball, the hand, and the person are one, and you need to enter the three-second zone or even a reasonable collision zone, and the NBA's three-second zone has become extremely huge because of George McCann and O'Neal, which is not only unfriendly to the offensive of interior players, but also not so friendly to the outside.

Throwing is different, most of the time throwing shots, the ball and hands are separated, the opponent's attention is on the body you rush in, the ball has already been shot, and it is difficult for the defender to judge the timing of the opponent's shot!

And Iverson's stride throwing, some fans jokingly called the same hand and foot shooting, because Iverson is the right foot out at the same time, the right hand suddenly threw the ball out, unable to prevent, but Iverson's ability to contain the defense is too strong, to the inside line is almost all sandwiched, there are not many opportunities to step, this trick is difficult to see in regular time, basically only from the highlights to see the occasional flashing of magic skills.

There is also Iverson's star card, Liu Mang doesn't know what a superstar card can experience from it, he hopes to experience Iverson's breakthrough skills!

It's still too monotonous to break through by yourself, just rely on speed to break through, and it's enough to choke when you meet Iverson and Kobe Bryant, who are not bad at speed, so you can only ask for blocking.

Who doesn't want to be outstanding.

4900 superstar points, Liu Mang still decided to draw a lottery.

"System Boss! 49 Superstar Value Draws! ”

"The host uses 49 primary superstar value draws, consuming 4,900 superstar points."

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 61 skill upgrade cards, 2 leader temperament cards, 14 physical potions, 4 primary injury and illness cards, and 6 primary steal cards. ”

Got the Leader Temperament card again!

Yes, yes, it's a surprise, as your strength becomes stronger, there are fewer and fewer surprises in this superstar value lottery.

Liu Mang first used the leadership temperament card.

"Ding...... Leader temperament +5, the host has begun to take on the leadership style of the field. ”

Leaders on the field?

Liu Mang doesn't really understand how this thing is determined, anyway, it's good.

Level up your skills!

With the newly obtained stride throwing skills, Liu Mang spent 55 skill upgrade cards to upgrade to level 4, and there are 21 skill upgrade cards left.

Most of the skills are either level 4, and the poor king of dry pulling and fancy dunking are also level 3, basically the end, level 4 to level 5 to get 240 skill upgrade cards, there is no way to upgrade for a while, and the superstar value in the future Liu Mang decided to start saving 10,000 points to draw the intermediate lottery! And it's not limited to pumping skills.,Now your ability value is like that.,There may be a situation where you can't chew it if you have more skills.,Now it's starting to have this tendency.,You can try to see if there's anything else new.,The primary lottery is basically like that.,You can only try to see the intermediate lottery.。

Stride Throwing Skill Level 4: The first step of the three steps after reaching the inside line suddenly becomes a throw, and when the foot that steps out is the same as the hand that shoots, the chance of immune shooting interference is 20%.

That's a great trick!

Originally, the same hand and foot shot will give the opponent a headache, the probability of being interfered with is not large, as long as you are not trapped, one-on-one face the opponent's interior defender, use this trick, the hit rate will be very high!

Nash and Parker seem to be doing the same, and because the rest of the team is a big offensive threat, they often go one-on-one to the opponent's inside, especially Parker, the point guard who scores first, and the shooting rate on both sides of the three-second zone is as high as 66% at his peak!

In addition to speed, Parker's explosiveness, bounce and Iverson are incomparable, and they are more similar to Liu Mang, so Liu Mang is more confident that his penalty area score will become stronger in the future!

After the excitement, the drowsiness came even more violently, and he had planned to find a place to train immediately and start to contact the throwing ability, but after the excitement, he fell asleep......

……

……

Date: January 28, 2002.

Location: United Center Arena, Chicago.

Event: The Eagle Three Little Pots Dump Incident.

……

Looking at the one-sided situation on the field, everyone on the scene reacted differently.

The Bulls' home fans screamed with excitement.

The general manager of the Bulls on the sidelines covered his head in pain, and the Warriors were about to "overtake" themselves to get the worst record in the league.

Hawks on the bench.

"Ace, why are you so iron? Could it be that you and which singer and actress in Chicago secretly went on a date last night and drained yourself? The coach said that he was grounded last night! Grounded! "Jason Terry dumped Liu Mang first.

What is the connection between grounding and dating? Is the third leg also a foot? Wrong! Liu Mang's thinking was a little lively, and he reacted immediately and immediately counterattacked: "Jason, your three points are not 1 of 7, I have scored a few free throws." ”

"I don't want to talk about your free throws, 5 of 11 free throws, are you embarrassed to say?" Jason Terry scoffed.

"I've been killed!" Liu Mang argued.

"That's right," Jason Terry thought about Liu Mang's rampage with a dynamite bag and blew up several fouls, and he worked hard, but after a turn of his brain, he found the person who took the pot again: "That's Sharif, 4 out of 13?" Why did you lose so many shots, and you can't prevent it, that Jalen Rose has scored 40 points! ”

"Jalen Rose is your defense!" Liu Mang and Raheem roared at Jason Terry together.

Jason Terry then remembered that because the opponent's three outside lines are all data brushes, Jalen Rose, the most improved player in 2000, the extremely fast Nerves sophomore Jamal Crawford, and the No. 6 pick in '97, Ron Mosser, who has been wandering around with data brushes all over his career, the three big outside data brushes, so when defending, their brothers are assigned defense according to the speed of the opponent and their own speed, and Jason Terry is defending Jalen Rose.

The earth is not necessarily round, but basketball is round, anything can happen, and today the bulls are collectively rampage! At the beginning of the first quarter, the Bulls scored five three-pointers in a row, from Jamal Crawford to Ron Mosser, and the three-point accuracy was terrifying! The opening game played the Hawks 15-4.

If it's just the Bulls going viral, the Hawks still have to play, slowly wear out the opponent's touch, press the rhythm, and wait for the second team to come up and chase the score.

However, the Hawks played too fiercely in the first few games, and today they had no feeling at all, and they were beaten 56-33 by the Bulls at halftime, trailing by 23 points at halftime.

After the start of the second half, Coach Kruger still wanted to struggle, but the result was still iron, Liu Mang only made 5 of 11 free throws, and the feeling was ridiculously poor, Jason Terry was good at 1 of 7 three-point shots, and Rahim was 4 of 13 in the inside single.

The three major scorers all rested, and the game could not be played, so they gave up decisively, let the players rest, and sent the water cooler lineup to announce their surrender.

Then, today's Jalen Rose, a real data brush, scored 41 points in the third quarter today, leading the Bulls to maintain a point difference of more than 20 points since the second quarter.

Coach Krueger also sat down, occasionally encountering this situation, the penultimate can win, isn't it just the player who breaks out, this kind of thing is not clear! The honey feel came suddenly, and both teams felt fascinated!

Just when Coach Kruger was about not to think about this game, so as not to feel uncomfortable, he heard the battle of three little ones.

I really want to say that Coach Kruger's mood at the moment, of course, is depressed when he is about to lose, but the three little ones are throwing the pot back and forth, and there is still a little bit of meaning, which has not been fought, which proves that the relationship is really good.

But if you take responsibility, you'll die!

At this moment, the three eaglets deserved to be "brothers", and suddenly pointed to Dean Grove, the man in a suit next to him, with a tacit understanding: "It's you, Dean, what are you doing if you're okay with injuries, you won't lose if you're not with us!" ”

Dean Grove this is completely injured in a suit and the pot is falling from the sky!

Dean Grove is an old-school player, but he's also an honest guy with a U.S. Imperial High School teacher's license! I'm ready to be a teacher for two more years, and I'm a proper and honest person, and I don't know what to say all of a sudden!

Coach Kruger finally couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the three of them: "You three give me honest reflection, this fight is so bad, don't blame you, do you blame me?" ”

When the three eaglets heard this, the coach had a point! Then nodded in unison.

"......" Coach Kruger was so angry that he forgot all the depression of losing today's game, and he was speechless and didn't know what to say.

In the end, in the Bulls' three brushes went on a rampage, and the Hawks three young people collectively hit the iron, the Bulls shouted the Hawks 113-91, ending the Hawks' three-game winning streak.
