1053. The 25th opponent

The pace of the game became very fast because of the Kings' blind speed up and the Hawks' defensive counterattack, Maddy's three-pointer scored, and the replay of the TV screen showed the replay of Maddy's second defense Martin just now.

Don't put offensive replays, put defensive replays, it shows how special this defense is!

I saw Maddie in the picture pretending to raise her hands up, and suddenly put her hands behind her back, and then Martin almost lost his center of gravity because he didn't hit Maddie's hand.

The loss is that although Martin's overall strength is poor, his core strength is good, and he throws the ball, but he is still capped by Maddie.

Maddie in the original time and space, the defense deteriorated later, mainly because of injuries, excessive consumption on the offensive end, and because of the less time invested on the defensive end, the defense further declined, forming a vicious circle.

This defense is that Maddie and Prince have studied together for a long time how to deal with Liu Mang in training, Liu Mang is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect to be able to use it on the opponent.

Maddie and Prince were originally working on this for fun, and now there's a place for it!

Next, Martin's most devastating day began.

There is still a big gap between the current Martin and the one who will average 20+ per game for seven years in the next ten years, and the main offensive means are three, relying on height, leg length and speed to break through; Relying on the height of the shooting guard position, the mid-range shot, and the foul.

But Maddie is just able to restrain Martin, Maddie is taller than Martin, the speed is comparable, coupled with Maddie's focused and physical defense, and a stronger body than Martin, Martin's current conventional offensive means are restrained by Maddie!

And Martin's other trick, looking at the foul-making methods learned by Liu Mang in the game, obviously cannot be compared with Liu Mang's genuine foul-making.

The main reason is that the scoring threat is too bad, Martin's current mid-range shooting rate is 31 percent, and he can shoot, but as a conventional offensive means is still far behind, Maddie chose to interfere after Martin's emergency stop and jump, and then interfere, and Martin is great.

Maddie spared no effort to focus on the defensive end and locked Martin to death!

In the first half, Martin made 1 of 8 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored only 4 points from 8 shots!

And Maddy's side, in addition to the defensive end, also went crazy on the offensive end, playing 19 minutes in the first half, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 13 shots, 5 of 8 free throws, and 25 points in the half!

Martin played 13 minutes in the first half, unfortunately, when he was on the court, he was in opposition to Maddy, and in the main rotation lineup of the Kings, he could play against Maddy, but Martin and Peja's defensive enthusiasm was too poor.

Maddie exploded Martin at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!

Liu Mang got the assist too easily today, Maddie cut in the air, Liu Mang passed the ball to Maddie, and Maddie threw it directly.

Maddie asked for the ball outside the three-point line, Liu Mang passed, and Maddie shot directly.

Maddie's style of play is very simple, he throws the ball to the basket when he catches the ball, he doesn't dribble, throws the ball out in the simplest way, his height and arm span and bounce power, Maddie has an advantage against Martin and Francesco Garcia who came off the bench, mainly because the opponent's Martin defense is poor, Garcia is a rookie who sees Maddie and coaxes him, Maddie plays too easily.

In the half game, Liu Mang played 21 minutes, and only on Maddie, Liu Mang got 5 assists.

And not only Maddy added assists to Liu Mang, but Jason Terry, Korver, and David Lee, who came off the bench, also threw the ball when they received it, and Iguodala and Josh Smith were not so greedy for scoring, and after grabbing the rebound or receiving Liu Mang's pass, the first thing they thought about was to send the ball to a more suitable teammate.

Liu Mang got 9 points and 11 assists in the first half!

This is the first time Liu Mang has more assists than points!

Originally, the Kings players' expectations for Martin were another Liu Mang.

Because the style of play is very similar, they are all counterattack players, and even the slender body is very similar.

But......

The reality is cruel, Martin provoked Maddie with his wit, and then suffered Maddie's crazy revenge!

Liu Mang 9 points, Maddy 25 points, Jason Terry 8 points, Korver 6 points, Kwame Brown 12 points, Barry 3 points, Iguodala 3 points, Josh Smith 2 points, Mourning 6 points, the Hawks exploded 74 points in the first half!

On the Kings side, it was fast, but it played poorly, shooting 18 of 45 in the first half and scoring 45 points!

The Hawks almost led by 30 points at halftime!

Coach Kruger is very satisfied with Liu Mang's style of play in the first half today, and the Eagles have a total of 21 assists in the first half! Liu Mang shared the ball when he encountered the bag, there was no sticky ball, after Liu Mang passed the ball, in order to get an easy shooting opportunity for himself, he could also disrupt the Kings' already poor defense when he was running, so that the Hawks' passing became very smooth.

It's just that Liu Mang was a little distracted, with 9 points in the half...... How long has it been like this.

In the third quarter, Adelman continued to put Martin on the court, he didn't have any idea of protecting the self-confidence of the young people, he wanted the game not to lose so ugly, Martin although not good defensively, but he was positive, and his height could interfere with Maddy's three-point shot.

Adelman didn't want to lose so badly and continued to send his main force up in the second half.

Liu Mang also thought that he was close to the first time in three years that he could not score a double in a single game, but he didn't expect the opponent to fall behind by 29 points or not surrender, and after two minutes in the third quarter, Coach Kruger re-sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Maddy, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown's lineup.

After Liu Mang came on the court, he first went to the three-point line and made a long-range three-point shot...... Didn't make ......

But Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebound!

Liu Mang threw the ball out and rushed to the basket, the Kings ignored him at this time, Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line, Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebound and threw it at Liu Mang before he landed, Liu Mang received the ball and flew to the shot, and finally increased the score to double digits.

And then...... Martin's time of suffering continues......

Next, Liu Mang continued to pass the ball, and Maddie didn't shoot so much on the offensive end, sharing the ball with his teammates, focusing on defending Martin and passing the ball after receiving Liu Mang's pass.

Because Adelman wants to use the main team to narrow the point difference, but although the Kings are not a strong team now, the reputation is still there, and Coach Kruger is worried that it will not be good to be reversed or the point difference will be narrowed to a crisis moment, so he replaced today's main team.

So at the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were 109-66, leading the Kings by 43 points!

Maddie felt bored playing while playing, he was full of interest in Martin at first when he saw Martin and Liu Mang's same style of play, but in the third quarter, Martin didn't dare to catch the ball after making a few shots, and Maddie felt bored the more he played.

At the end of the third quarter, when Martin was about to leave the game with a bitter face, Maddie said to Martin: "You are really weak, come on." ”

Martin wants to cry!

He scored six points on 2-of-13 shooting and 2-of-2 free throws in the third quarter, his worst performance of the season.

Martin didn't even dare to talk to Maddie, and he was crushed the whole time!

Liu Mang saw that Maddie was still bullying Martin, so he went up and patted Martin on the shoulder: "Second grade, come on, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Martin immediately showed the ecstasy of Nash being drafted by the NBA, smiling exactly the same as Nash had when he was drafted......

In the end, the Hawks slaughtered the Kings by 41 points, 131-90.

Liu Mang scored 7 points in the third quarter, 15 points, 15 assists and 3 boards, Maddy 35 points, 2 boards and 5 assists, Jason Terry 28 points, Kwame Brown 26 points, and the Hawks got 33 assists in the game.

……

With a 19-game winning streak, the Eagles once again tied the fourth-longest winning streak in history.

Ahead of the 19-game winning streak, there are only three in a row, the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, the Hawks' own 22-game winning streak, and the Bucks' 20-game winning streak.

Originally, people were expecting to see Liu Mang score again in the Hawks' game against the Kings, but Liu Mang only scored 15 points, but it was Maddie who was fouled by Martin and was crazy about the food, which became the main news after the game.

Maddie also has that kind of mentality that his fans are going to cry, they are being taken by someone!

On the other hand, in the Lakers game against the Warriors at the same time, Kobe Bryant did not soar, and also suffered the same crazy bag as Liu Mang, only getting 21 points and 9 assists, but with 7 steals and 2 blocks of defensive data, the Lakers also ushered in 6 consecutive wins, but Yao Ming scored 43 points, a new career high.

The Warriors also frantically prevented Kobe Bryant from scoring and suffered a big defeat, and the Lakers beat the Warriors by 52 points 124-72, setting a new record for the biggest point difference of the season.

Compared with the Hawks who relaxed their defense in the third quarter and let Calderon, Barry, Korver, David Lee, and Mourning's lineup go up to play garbage time, saving some face for the other party, and allowing the Kings to score 34 points in the final quarter, which finally increased the score to 90 points, the Lakers had Kobe Bryant staring at them, and the benches still tried their best to defend after they went up, and the Warriors only scored 72 points.

Liu Mang saw the performance of Maddie and Kobe, saw Jason Richardson, who was guarded by Kobe Bryant, who only scored 8 points, and Martin, who only scored 6 points, and frantically opened the trumpet to complain about the two stingy ghosts.

……

……

After a 19-game winning streak, the Hawks continued their road trip to Oakland to take on the Warriors on the road.

The Warriors are desperate......

Just got beaten by the Lakers and met the Hawks again......

The Warriors continue to work hard to build character.

An easy victory without blood.

The Hawks won 101-82 and easily won 20 in a row.

Although Liu Mang only scored 15 points in the second game after scoring 90 points, the opponent is still afraid!

The player who scored 100 points in a single game is the famous name of the Warriors, and he got it when their team played, so they strictly guarded Kobe and Liu Mang, and they couldn't care about their own scores.

Liu Mang got 21 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists, and the assists were too easy!

This is an unexpected thing, the Eagles didn't expect that Liu Mang soared that time, so that his team played easily in the next few games.

After tying the third-longest winning streak in history with a 20-game winning streak, the Eagles' winning streak continues.

On December 16, the Hawks arrived in Portland first to challenge the Trail Blazers.

Portland is also one of the teams that hate Liu Mang to the core, Liu Mang shot a little more in this game, 22 shots in the whole game, but only 7 shots, mainly on the outside shooting, 6 of 15 outside the three-point line, a bunch of people on the inside, Liu Mang chose to help the board this time, and wanted to try to play the first team in the West to get forty or fifty points, but after 18 shots and 5 in the half, he gave up.

In the end, Liu Mang played 38 minutes, shooting 7 of 22, 6 of 15 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, and scored 29 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists, leading the Hawks to a 105-91 victory over the Trail Blazers led by Randolph without much difficulty.

On December 17th, the Hawks returned to the home court to play the Wizards back-to-back, this time Liu Mang scored a little more, 6 of 11 got 33 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, the Wizards' defense of him was foul fouls and fouls, Liu Mang made 5 three-pointers and only scored 17 points on the shot, but made 16 free throws......

120-107, the Hawks continued their winning streak, tying their own team's 22-game winning streak!

On December 19th, the Hawks ushered in the Rockets who lost Yao Ming at home, Liu Mang got 22 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists, the Hawks won 98-81, and won easily.

Bynum, the core of the Rockets' main training now, has just turned 18 years old after the start of the season, and is now only 18 years and more than a month, and his performance is good, unlike the original Lakers who were not focused on training at the beginning, and also needed to play Kwame Brown's bench, the Rockets can only train him with heart and lungs, Bynum played 19 games in the first 27 games, played an average of 22 minutes per game, and got 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, which is quite a good performance.

But back-to-back Bynum didn't play, he was too young, and he wasn't fully developed.

But in terms of talent, Bynum's talent is too good, but his mind is too bad, he also came to Atlanta with the team, and when Liu Mang saw Maddie blocking Luthor Hyde, Bynum was actually laughing!

Without Kobe Bryant's pressure, Bynum let himself go at the beginning of his career......

……

23 wins in a row! The Hawks, on their side, come to Charlotte on December 21 to take on the Bobcats on the road.

Jordan didn't receive Liu Mang this time, and he didn't come to watch the game.

By now, the Bobcats are almost certain to be at the bottom of the league.

Felton was still like that, with three or four rebounds and five or six assists per game, and he didn't have the kind of turnaround that people expected.

And Chris Paul of the Hornets, who led the Hornets out of the abyss at the bottom in his rookie year, has a winning rate of nearly 50%, and a 14-15 record is quite eye-catching, and the best rookie is proper.

As time went by, Liu Mang's enthusiasm for scoring 90 points gradually dissipated, and the opponent also believed that he had no idea of scoring again, the Bobcats became the crab eater, and Coach Bickerstaff used his normal offensive defense to play with the Hawks.

The Eagles played a little more difficult this game, after 23 consecutive wins, the players' mentality has relaxed, and they have exceeded their own record of 22 consecutive wins, and the 33-game winning streak is so long, there is no emotion to chase.

Liu Mang shot 14 of 31 in this game, slashed 41 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the Hawks beat the Bobcats 96-88 without danger.

The Bobcats really have nothing to say about the defense, but the offensive point guard does not have the strength to lead a team to transform, and the Bobcats on the offensive end basically rely on their individual ability, averaging only 92 points per game this season, the bottom of the league.

The Eagles won 24 consecutive victories with Liu Mang's fourth 40+ performance of the season!

……

……

"Mom, you don't have to bring so many things, you have everything in the rented house! If not, let Levia take you and Dad out to buy it. Liu Mang looked at his mother and wanted to take everything.

"Buy everything, buy buy, you want to save, you know? These things will be repeated when we buy another one, we only went to stay for a few days and will come back, I want to take it with me! Liu Mang's mother retorted.

"Okay, okay, you can take it...... Avril, dad is here......" Liu Mang watched Alexia come out with her daughter in her arms, and immediately pounced, "My cutest baby, you go to Phoenix first, and after two days Dad finishes training, he will come over with the team......"

Alexia was so helpless, looking at her father-in-law who was holding her son helplessly, and then at her son who was staring at Liu Mang with big eyes and didn't know what this guy meant, and mourned for her son for two seconds......

However, Alexia feels that her daughter is indeed more well-behaved, Liu Hao is too skinny, only two months old, she is full of vitality and crawls around, healthier and stronger than ordinary children, she cries when she disagrees, and her daughter is more well-behaved, although she also loves to move...... But it's cute.

Alexia could only comfort herself: Chinese children, Chinese have been stricter with boys since childhood......

On the morning of December 23, Liu Mang's family loaded things into the car, Liu Mang and Levia drove a car, and the whole family, plus the bodyguards, two maids, and the masseur sent by James to give him a masseuse, went to Phoenix together.

On December 25th, the 25th game of the Hawks, playing the Suns away, is also a Christmas game, the NBA has only two Christmas games this season, the Hawks play the Suns away, and the Heat play the Lakers away.

The reason why both the Hawks and the Heat are away is because of the timing.

It's not just the Christmas game, the Hawks' China derby against the Lakers on January 1 is also the Hawks' away game.

Mainly because the Hawks are in the East, the game starts too early for the Chinese, so the game is scheduled to be played on the home court of the Suns and Lakers.

This is Liu Mang's first away Christmas game.

After playing the Bobcats on the 21st and winning 24 in a row, the 22nd returned to Atlanta, Coach Kruger announced that he could take his family to Phoenix this time, the Hawks have played the Christmas game for the fourth consecutive year, the first three were at home, the players are used to spending Christmas Eve with their families, this time to the away game, Price chartered the Four Seasons Hotel in Phoenix, so that the players can go with their families, which is considered the welfare of the team.

24 wins in a row!

During this time, the Eagles made a fortune, the billboards on the sidelines became more expensive each game, and Price made a fortune again.

Liu Mang took his family to the airport to gather with his teammates, and the Eagles chartered a big charter plane this time, and the families of all the players on the team could go to Phoenix together.

……

"Thank you, Steve, how much is the rent? And these cutlery and bedding are all new, right? I'll give it to you with me. Liu Mang said to Nash.

After arriving in Phoenix, Liu Mang did not live in the hotel, it was inconvenient to have a baby in the hotel, he asked Nash in advance to help rent a nearby villa where Nash lived, a holiday villa specially used for rent, with complete household appliances, Nash also bought a full set of kitchen utensils and quilts, slippers, bath towels and other things, Liu Mang's family can live in with luggage.

In addition, Nash also bought gifts for Liu Mang's two children and Liu Mang's parents, which was quite polite, which made Liu Mang embarrassed.

"No need Ace, we don't have to be so polite, the landlord is my friend, I didn't charge much money, these things are not worth much, I entertained you!" Nash said angrily.

"Alright then, next time you come to Atlanta, I'll entertain you!" Liu Mang patted his chest and said.

"Treat ...... well," Nash glanced at Liu Mang.

After greeting for a while, Nash saw that Liu Mang's family was still busy packing up their things, so he said goodbye first, the Suns still have games tonight, Nash specially rented an extended Lincoln to pick up Liu Mang's family at the airport, and went back to prepare for the night's game.

The West is chaotic, and if the Suns lose one more game, they may be killed by the Lakers to fifth.

After Nash left, Liu Mang was also idle, when the two girls were old, they were so diligent that they couldn't do it, don't want Liu Mang to help, Liu Mang holds the ball, this villa also has an outdoor court, Liu Mang took Xiao Lori to practice shooting together.

The Christmas war has won 24 consecutive victories, but now there is one thing that makes Liu Mang a little worried, that is, the winning streak is too long, which makes his own team feel a little "tired of winning".
