1382. Ambition: 700 points in a single month

As the saying goes, there is no worst, only worse.

But this proverb doesn't fit Arenas at all......

After five consecutive 50+ games, Liu Mang has averaged 31.8 points per game, exceeding Arenas' average of 1.1 points per game.

Arenas has been 50+ twice this season, one with 61 points and six times with 40+, and has been scoring explosively and consistently.

But he met Liu Mang, who needed to cut points to help the team win......

In Liu Mang's time, no one was worse than Arenas.

In the same class as Liu Mang, older than Liu Mang, not as strong as Liu Mang, not as good as Liu Mang, not as good as Liu Mang, and not as good as Liu Mang in the team, he was swept in a direct playoff match......

The key is......

On January 21, 2007, the third episode of "Details" was released, and Liu Mang analyzed how to defend Arenas' pull-up jump shot in the show......

On the 18th, Arenas relied on 40+ after 61 points, barely surpassing Liu Mang, but Liu Mang had another back-to-back 50+, raising the average points per game to a point where Arenas was difficult to catch up......

There was a trend of "distressed generals" on the Internet for a while.

The worst is Arenas......

Liu Mang's analysis of Arenas is based on his own defensive methods, from a technical point of view, in fact, Liu Mang's defense of Arenas is not so good, mainly because Arenas panicked when he saw him, and he wanted to prove himself too much, and the result was very poor.

This is known as "ice phobia".

If someone else uses Liu Mang's way to defend Arenas, the effect is actually average, after all, this is a player with explosive scoring who can face Kobe Bryant's 60 points in a single game.

However, when Liu Mang analyzed Arenas, the opponent used the same way as Liu Mang to defend Arenas, and the effect suddenly became excellent!

It's purely psychological, but the psychological factor can have a very big impact on a player.

On the night of January 27, after a two-day break, the Wizards ushered in the home game against the Spurs, and Arenas scored 11 points on 2-of-18 shooting......

Tony Parker, who is in the same class as Arenas, has Arenas on guard!

Arenas played 25 minutes and made just two shots from 18 attempts, and the Wizards trailed by 31 points at halftime, 31-62, and were bloodied by the Spurs......

……

"Uncle, Arenas is too miserable, don't bully him." Little Lori hugged Liu Mang's arm and looked at Arenas with a blank face on the TV screen, and Little Lori couldn't help but pity Arenas.

Liu Mang didn't expect Arenas' psychological tolerance to be so poor, and a show actually affected him so much that he couldn't even beat Parker.

The last time the Wizards went to San Antonio, but relying on Arenas' 47 points, the Wizards beat the Spurs 98-91, and this time they were slaughtered by more than 30 points.

After knocking out the Magic team back-to-back yesterday and avoiding three consecutive defeats, Liu Mang recorded the third episode of "Details" overnight in Orlando, which has an ESPN branch, and it aired at noon today.

As a result, Liu Mang returned home in the evening and watched the game between Arenas and the Spurs, another contender for the scoring title, and saw a one-sided slaughter.

If it weren't for Arenas' high number of free throws this season, averaging 10 free throws per game, the free throws were quite stable when he played the Spurs, with 6 of 7 free throws, plus a three-pointer and a pull-up jumper, it would have been difficult to score a double-double.

"Dinah, you don't understand, this is a spur to him, he has pressure to become stronger, otherwise your uncle and I will not find an opponent." Liu Mang pinched Little Lori's face and said.

“…… Uncle, you're so bad! Little Lori glanced at Liu Mang.

Liu Mang ate the little loli tofu and watched the scouting report of the next 10 days while waiting for the second live game of the Lakers and Mavericks tonight.

I've played 42 games, 27 wins and 15 losses, so it's very difficult to get 60 wins!

Except for problems in the team in his sophomore year, Liu Mang won at least 60 in the other four seasons.

And the next schedule made Liu Mang's brain explode.

I can take a break after returning to Atlanta today, and there will be six games in the next ten days from the 22nd to the 31st, four at home and two away, and the last two are back-to-back home and away games against the Knicks......

This was followed by 12 games in February, with only 28 days to go and a seven-day break on All-Star Weekend, with 16 games remaining in March......

The key is that there are many strong opponents concentrated in February and March, the devil's schedule!

After watching the Lakers' home game against the Mavericks with Time Warner's live broadcast, the Mavericks finally defeated the Lakers 115-111 away, and the Mavericks continued to maintain the league's No. 1 record, 36-7, and the Mavericks are currently on a 13-game winning streak.

Under the leadership of Nowitzki, who is in the same shape as in the playoffs, the Mavericks entered their peak state early, and the Mavericks are in a posture to hit 70 wins.

However, Liu Mang felt that the more the Mavericks were like this, the more dangerous it became, and when he and his teammates hit 70 wins in the previous two times, they began to take turns to accumulate strength at this stage, but the head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson, fought more fiercely.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, and Liu Mang didn't think to remind them.

……

On January 23, after Liu Mang returned to Atlanta for a night of rest, he ushered in a wave of three consecutive home games, first of which was the Hornets, who are now in the second to last in the West.

Arenas's mentality collapsed, but Liu Mang's side did not stop, playing 41 minutes, shooting 24 of 39, 9 of 20 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and slashing 64 points.

When the opponent's star three-point shot was thrown 20 times and maintained a 45 percent shooting rate, he basically couldn't play.

Mainly Paul's injury problems, this season the Hornets played 44 games before playing with the Hawks, Paul only played 21 games, and this game was not played, the Hornets did not have a player who could defend against Liu Mang, Liu Mang could shoot hard outside the three-point line, and the Hawks had no urgency on their side of the defense, so they had a day off yesterday, and the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday just played back-to-back, and this game simply attacked.

In the third minute of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang scored 64 points for 41 consecutive minutes before the difference was stretched to more than 20 points, and the Hornets announced their surrender, and finally the Hawks easily eliminated the Hornets 126-109.

……

With 64 points in a single game, Liu Mang continued his record of 60+ at least once a season since he started the game.

After beating the Hornets, Liu Mang broke his second-longest streak of 50+ in history, improving to 6 games.

Before Liu Mang said that 50 points was very simple, people thought that Liu Mang was pretending to be forced.

Now the fans really understand that although taking 50+ is not necessarily related to winning, Liu Mang has proved with practical actions that he can really take 50+ if he wants to!

Of course, if there is an opponent in the game who attacks him infinitely, and he insists on getting 50+, it is a problem with his head......

On January 25, the Hawks had their second game in three straight home games against the Portland-Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers are also part of the Western Tank Corps, the kind that doesn't want to win a game.

Playing against Roy, Liu Mang felt very interesting, this guy's skills are too good to be good, he had completed four years of college when he participated in the draft, and he won the best player in the Pacific Top 10 Conference in his senior year, and ranked among the top few college athlete awards such as the Wooden Award, the Naismith Award, the Alf Rapp Award, and the Oscar Robertson Award.

But today, the Trail Blazers are not rushing to win, Liu Mang does not hold the ball on the outside and has two guards, one goes around the front, the other is ready to make up for the defense at any time, Liu Mang goes to the inside, and Randolph is next to him......

There was no suspense that the game was one-sided, with the Hawks building a 15-point lead from the start of the first quarter and a 15-point lead at 31-16 in the first quarter.

Of course, Liu Mang didn't want the record to end here, he waved when he had the opportunity, and he shot 10 of 29 shots, but just like that, the Eagles have maintained a lead of more than 20 points since the second quarter.

In the end, Coach Kruger couldn't stand it anymore, and when Liu Mang was about to throw the thirtieth time, he called a timeout to replace Liu Mang.

In the end, Liu Mang played 33 minutes, shooting 10 of 29, 4 of 15 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and got 30 points, 8 rebounds and 0 assists, and the Hawks beat the Trail Blazers 113-89 to win three in a row.

……

……

In the imperial capital of the United States, Arenas couldn't help but burst into tears when he watched Liu Mang finally break for 50+ in a row.

But...... What can this be......

Liu Mang has averaged 32.1 points per game......

Arenas could only tear up as he watched his performance averaging 30.5 points per game.

Averaging more than 30 points per game is already the limit of Arenas.

And Liu Mang's courage to still dare to vote in the midst of being surrounded by three people, Arenas can't do it...... His team couldn't give him that chance to wave.

Liu Mang's latest consecutive 50+ record is fixed in 6 consecutive 50+ games, this month Liu Mang has played 13 games, got 9 times 40+, including 6 times 50+ and 1 time 60+, in the case of 4 games not played, Liu Mang got 546 points!

45.5 points per game in 12 games!

……

"Ace, you're still 55 points short of this month, which is higher than Jordan's single-month scoring record." Maddie said, looking at the news.

Liu Mang came up and took a look, there have been 8 times in NBA history when players have scored more than 600 points in a single month, the first six times, all of which were Chamberlain, the highest score was 854 points in a single month, and Chamberlain played 14 games that month with an average of 61 points per game......

After that, he averaged 57 points per game in a single month, 56 points per game in a single month, and 51 points per game in a single month......

Almost all of them are Chamberlain's records for 50+ seasons per game and 44 points per game.

Then there was Elgin Baylor, who had just completed a 600 in a single month in 1962.

Then came the second half of the 1986-1987 season, in March, Jordan scored 601 points in a single month.

In addition to Baylor, the other two are the scoring champions of the season, who is called Baylor's season with an average of 38 points per game, and Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points per game......

After Kobe Bryant, although he averaged 40+ per game in a single month 4 times, and Liu Mang also had 3 times before, both of them did not complete 600 points in a single month because of the lack of games that month.

And this time, Liu Mang still has 4 games to play, and he has already scored 546 points!

Breaking 600 points in a single month is almost a sure thing, and 700 points Liu Mang also feels hopeful!

As for 854 points...... That guy is a monster......

However, if Liu Mang gets 700 points in a single month, he can also rank third in history!

The media also predicted that the Hawks have four games left this month, and Liu Mang may be able to score at least 154 points in the remaining four games, becoming the second player in history to score 700 points in a single month.

This is even more amazing than Chamberlain's performance back then, Liu Mang played the data of basketball in ancient times in contemporary basketball!

As for the fact that I haven't played 13 games now...... Most of the fans only look at the results, and to be able to complete that kind of performance has already made the fans crazy.

"If I get 700 points this month, that guy will definitely give up, right?" Liu Mang hadn't noticed this before, he had been waiting for Arenas to give up, but Arenas seemed to want to struggle.

Liu Mang thought of this and asked Maddie: "Tracy, you help me get an idea, should I try to get 700 points?" ”

"Take it if you want." Maddie laughed.

This season, Maddie averaged 20.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, almost averaging 20+5+5 per game, passing a few fewer balls, and scoring a little more, but 20 points is enough for him, and the difference is rebounding, not assists, he is motivated, and he has not grabbed as many rebounds as last season, but with Liu Mang going to focus on scoring guard, his assists this month have increased from 6.8 per game to 7.5 per game.

"OK, I'll try." Maddie has no opinion on the side, of course Liu Mang also wants to get 700+ in a single month!

"Ding...... Temporary Mission: Epic Score Show triggers. ”

"Epic Score Show: The host needs to publicly state that they want to score 700 points in a single month and successfully complete the big picture. Reward: Random star card for the top scorer. Failure Punishment: Help another scorer to produce an English single, and the subject is randomly selected. ”

Liu Mang was thinking about how to play in the next four games to get 154 points, and the system prompt suddenly came!

"Publicly say you want to score 700 points? That must not be prevented to death by the other party! ”

Liu Mang saw that this task was big! No difficulty to add difficulty?

"Spurs, Raptors, Heat, Heat, ......" Liu Mang looked at the opponents in the remaining four games, not to mention the first two, it is not easy to score well.

Liu Mang thinks that the Heat team is going to lose anyway, and he won't give him a chance to score points!

But the quests have already come, and the rewards for the quests ...... It's so tempting!

Any scoring champion will blow up the sky, not to mention Jordan's ten scoring champion seasons, Kobe Bryant last season, Maddie before...... As long as it is an outside line, Liu Mang is very interested in the star cards of those peak seasons of scoring champions!

But that failure penalty ...... The objects are also randomly selected, in case there is a bad relationship, such as wearing the No. 24 jersey, Liu Mang's head is big!

But the task has come, and Liu Mang has not received such a big task for a long time, and he wants to complete it.

The next opponent is the Spurs, who meet for the second time this season......
