1374.50+ is very simple (yesterday the less more made up)
After returning from the timeout, Rondo came on, Liu Mang was replaced, and the lineup of Rondo, Jason Terry, Maddy, Marion, and Kwame Brown came on.
The Jazz went on to an all-out starter.
With Rondo and Maddy leading the team, the Eagles are playing well, Rondo is leading the offense better and better, and the scores of the two teams are always going up slowly.
At halftime, the Hawks went into halftime with a two-point lead at 52-50.
Liu Mang played 18 minutes, shooting 7-of-16 from the field and 4-of-9 from three-point range, scoring 21 points.
Back in the third quarter, Liu Mang re-appeared, the scores of the two teams were still deadlocked, and the Jazz team's feeling of pulling the opponent to their rhythm and winning with rich grinding experience came again!
At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were outnumbered by the Jazz by two points, 75-77.
Liu Mang scored 31 points in the third quarter, and his performance was already very good, but he still failed to lead the team to an advantage, and he fell behind.
The two-point difference is not big, but it gives the Jazz players a lot of confidence.
There is a big problem with the Hawks' schedule, the Hawks only scored 23 points in the third quarter, and were scored 27 points by the Jazz, the physical problem was highlighted in the third quarter, Liu Mang played the whole quarter, only scored 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting, he received too many pinching and co-defense, and his teammates' shooting rate declined again, if it weren't for Granger when Jason Terry and Maddy couldn't shoot, he came up and threw two three-pointers to support, and the difference would have been stretched to more than 5 points.
……
Coming back from the break, the Hawks sent a lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Maddy, Granger, and Kwame Brown.
Just play one big and four small.
The Jazz are a group of young players who have just made a difference, and now they are excited, they may be the second team to sweep the Hawks in the regular season in four seasons after the Mavericks, and with their easy mid-season schedule, the 30-year-old Kirisek is also in his prime and has no fitness problems at all.
The Jazz continued to field their starting lineups, with Delon Dryon, Kirisek, Kirilenko, Boozer and Oku on the court.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eagles had the ball, Liu Mang sent the ball to Rondo, and then ran to the frontcourt.
When Liu Mang took a big step outside the top arc, he didn't run and asked for the ball from Rondo.
Rondo didn't ask anything, immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang, and then cut into the inside, took Delong away, and opened up the top arc space.
Kirisek is on the waist to guard against Liu Mang's accelerated breakthrough at any time, and Liu Mang's explosive breakthrough outside the three-point line is as terrible as the guy wearing a suit on the sidelines with bandages on his legs before he was injured!
Seeing Liu Mang leaning over his upper body and holding the ball with one hand, Kirisek didn't know what Liu Mang was going to do at all, paste it? The opponent will definitely accelerate the breakthrough the moment his feet move, and Kirisek chooses to step on the three-point line and wait.
Liu Mang adjusted his breathing, felt it, and his legs slammed into force, pulling out a three-point shot......
27 feet is the distance from the top arc of the NBA court to the center of the basket, and Liu Mang is close to six feet away from the top arc.
Kirisek saw Liu Mang suddenly pull it up and threw it, and as soon as he moved his foot, he had already thrown it out.
And it's in!
The scene is dry!
"Ai Ai Ai...... Si-Liu......"
The live DJ yelled loudly, detonating the scene.
It's finally here!
After watching three quarters of grinding games, fans finally saw the picture they wanted to see!
This ball Maddie is shaking her head and smiling bitterly, it's always so incredible!
The Hawks had a relatively low air pressure before, and they were pulled into the rhythm of the Jazz, and many people on the Hawks' side felt very uncomfortable.
But Liu Mang's earth-shattering three points suddenly made the atmosphere of the scene lively.
Liu Mang was also relieved when he saw the ball scored, the ball was too far away, and he was not sure.
But did you get in...... Liu Mang had such an expression as he should be, blowing his gun and pointing at the defense.
It's so urine.
It was not only the fans who were detonated, but also the fighting spirit of the Eagles players!
78-77, the Hawks took a one-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which was a big boost for the Hawks' fighting spirit and confidence to win.
When it came to the Jazz offense, it seemed that he was surprised by Liu Mang's three-point shot, Boozer received the ball in the face of Liu Mang's change of defense, and his best mid-range shooting was iron.
It was the Eagles' turn to attack, and after Liu Mang received the ball in the front court, Kirisek immediately pressed up, and he couldn't put it away from a long distance.
Just like Kirisek's thoughtful defensive idea in the previous round, Liu Mang saw Kirisek pressing up and took the opportunity to break through, Delong came up to attack, Liu Mang distributed the ball to Rondo, Rondo received the ball and rushed inside, Kirilenko received the free throw line, Rondo quickly passed the ball to Maddie, but the Jazz defensive rotation did a great job this time, and Delon had already defended it.
Liu Mang cut into the basket after passing the ball and just ran around the basket to the left bottom line, and saw Boozer, who was defending Marion at a 45-degree angle on the left, moving towards the bottom corner and preparing to defend together, Liu Mang immediately turned around and ran into the inside line.
Liu Mang changed direction coldly, and Kirisek's head reacted, but his body did not obey the call, and when he turned around, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell!
Liu Mang ran back and cut into the inside, Maddie hoisted the ball to the left side of the basket, Liu Mang cut in and jumped high and got the ball in the air!
Oku couldn't help this ball, Kirisek didn't block Liu Mang at all, Oku could only retreat, and Liu Mang scored two points with an empty split.
80-77, a three-point lead!
In the crucial quarter of the game, Liu Mang stood up from the beginning, relying on his personal ability and running awareness, Liu Mang scored 5 points in a row!
The Eagles finally relied on Liu Mang's ultra-long three-point shot and a beautiful back-run and back-run empty dunk, and they were high!
The most hilarious is of course Liu Mang, the Jazz team didn't seem to expect Liu Mang to suddenly erupt, although Liu Mang scored 31 points in the third quarter, but the score was relatively difficult, and Liu Mang felt good today, but the fourth quarter erupted too violently, which seemed to scare them, and Oku's bottom corner was three-pointer.
And when it came to the Hawks' offense, Maddie took advantage of Rondo's breakthrough and Liu Mang around the baseline to attract the attention of Boozer, Delong and Kirisek, who was supposed to defend Liu Mang, and Maddy caught the ball with a three-point shot!
83-77, more than two minutes into the opening game, the Hawks played a wave of 8-0! 6 points difference!
The Jazz called a timeout!
But pause...... It's useless, although the Jazz team has Boozer, one of the league's most powerful power forwards, who plays a bigger role as an insider, but compared with Liu Mang, who has already played high, there is still a gap.
After returning from the pause, Coach Kruger specially helped Liu Mang, who felt hot, to arrange tactics.
Liu Mang couldn't stop scoring points!
Liu Mang shot 7 of 10 in the last quarter and scored 22 points!
Mainly relied on Liu Mang to score 5 points in a row at the beginning of the last quarter to bring up the momentum, and in the next 10 minutes, Liu Mang soared 17 points.
couldn't stop it at all, the Jazz team was accustomed to the advantage of the first three energy saving and steadily driving the rhythm of the Hawks, and was suddenly defeated by Liu Mang in the fourth quarter!
The Jazz team didn't want to limit Liu Mang's scoring, when they went to pinch Liu Mang, Rondo and Maddie made good use of their positional problems, Maddie threw a three-pointer, Marion cut in and scored 4 points in a row, and the Jazz chose to defend normally.
Liu Mang waved that three points at the beginning of the game, for this purpose, so that his teammates have a chance to score, and if his teammates shoot, he will have a better chance to score, which is a complementary thing.
Luckily, Maddie rested for a while in the third quarter, and came back with the first three points, and Liu Mang successfully achieved his goal.
This is the solution he thought of after seeing his teammates unable to shoot in the third quarter, and it can be regarded as a gamble, from his long-range three-point shot to Maddy's three-point shot, all of which are betting on the feel.
Throwing a goal is a reward for those who are prepared, and Liu Mang's usual efforts have been rewarded at this moment!
Relying on Liu Mang's 22-point performance in a single quarter, the Hawks scored 33-21 in the final quarter, and after Marion returned, the Hawks' defensive efficiency was greatly improved, allowing the Jazz team, who was shocked by Liu Mang's score, to play the worst single-quarter performance of the game on the offensive end.
In the end, the Hawks defeated the Jazz by 108-98, a 10-point difference, and avoided a losing streak!
Liu Mang shot 19 of 41 from the field, 8 of 20 from three-point range, and 8 of 11 from the free throw line, scoring 53 points!
……
In the first three quarters of the game, the fans were drowsy, but in the fourth quarter of the game, for a full 23 minutes, it seemed that they didn't stop cheering for a second, especially after Liu Mang scored 40, the fans at the scene were chanting "50 points".
In addition to victory, the most important thing they are waiting for is Liu Mang's score!
And in the end, Liu Mang succeeded, scoring 53 points in a single game, 50+ in a single game in a row, and increased his average score to 30.7 points per game, tying Arenas again!
In today's game, in addition to Liu Mang's single-game performance of 53 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 3 steals, others also performed well, Marion scored 21 points, Kwame Brown had 6 points and 15 boards, and he got 13 rebounds in the first three quarters, which was the key for the Hawks to maintain the gap between them, Maddy was limited by the physical crisis and had a mediocre performance, only 9 points, worried about the key three-point shot, and also had 7 assists and 7 rebounds.
There is also a very special player......
Rajon Rondo, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and ...... per game 4 points......
With 4 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, Rondo's stats are always blinding.
After the game, the two-point guard duo of Liu Mang and Rondo were invited together to participate in the interview.
Really...... Rondo's scoring problem has been ridiculed again, and Coach Kruger wants to replace him with 2 of 6 free throws today, but it is not as accurate as Kwame Brown's free throws.
The most important thing the media wants to interview is, of course, Liu Mang.
ESPN's reporter asked, "Ace, congratulations on getting 50+ again, and winning again, it's incredible, do you have anything to say about yourself for three consecutive 50+ games?" ”
Liu Mang has been waiting for this for a long time, and said in an indifferent tone: "50+ is actually very simple, just score 10 points in each of the first three quarters, and 20 points in the fourth quarter." ”
