The curtain has opened on the attack on the scoring champion!

On January 9th, the Hawks challenged the Philadelphia 76ers away, and they were very unhappy that they had lost a lot of money, and they were even more unhappy that they couldn't play against Iverson.

For the Hawks, the absence of Rashid Wallace has big problems in terms of interior passing, supplemental defense at the power forward position, assistance defense, and top defense, but fortunately, the Hawks' schedule in January is very easy, and there are only three teams that can pose a threat to the Hawks, and they are still going at the end of the month, so the Hawks can still be confident that they can maintain their winning percentage after Rashid Wallace is suspended.

And Boozer played the starting position, and now Boozer and Rasheed Wallace still have a big gap, and the defensive end is one in the sky and one underground, but when he cooperates with Liu Mang and Stockton, the scoring and passing can make up for the loss of strength in the absence of Rasheed Wallace, especially the rebounding, Boozer's rebounding efficiency is second only to Rahim in the Hawks, and higher than Muhammad.

Playing this game of the 76ers, Liu Mang used Sessions' star card, the effect of the bonus is very interesting, the average speed is super fast, the same as Parker, the average speed of 95, like a small sports car, and the endurance is better, Sessions is more like the faster Hamilton, but unfortunately he is similar to Parker, he does not have Hamilton's shooting talent, and can only rely on speed to break through and score or break through to attract the ball.

But for Liu Mang, it's not a problem! He only needs to use the bonus of the average speed of Sessions' star card to mimic Hamilton's catch-and-shoot ability.

Because Liu Mang wants to compete for the scoring title and wants to use other teams as stepping stones, how can other teams be willing?

Under the smashing of the big dog, the 76ers wanted to defend Liu Mang with a team-wide pinch, but Liu Mang handed over the ball to Raheem and Boozer as soon as he came up in this game, and ran to play without the ball himself!

Liu Mang plays the same as Hamilton who runs faster and has a longer range, although the middle distance is not as accurate as Hamilton, but under the basket and outside the three-point line, he can shoot at any position when he receives the ball, and the big dog and others who originally wanted to wrap Liu Mang really like they are walking the dog!

Sending someone can't keep up with Liu Mang, and if he strikes, Rahim and Boozer will distribute the ball to the vacant players, and Liu Mang will pass it to Liu Mang when he runs out of the vacant position.

Facing the 76ers, whose defense was not good, and also disrupted the opponent's defense, Liu Mang shot too easily and coolly in this game, shooting 16 of 24 and easily scoring 41 points, but unfortunately he clocked out after the third quarter, and the Hawks had a 77-52 lead of 25 points.

In the end, the Hawks easily defeated the 76ers 105-89 and won two in a row.

After playing the 76ers, the Hawks flew to the West Coast for a three-game road trip to the West, where the Suns, Clippers, and Warriors, the three teams that ranked second-to-last, first-to-last, and fourth-to-last in the West, all began a happy swing and worked out their young players at the same time.

After the Suns got rid of Marbury, they officially put Joe Johnson, Marion, and Stoudemire, three talented young players, on the big stage, and gave the ball to the three, just like the supersonic training of Durant and Westbrook in the future.

Not to mention, the small cooperation of these three is really powerful, Joe Johnson's mid-range singles, Stoudemire's low-post frame, both of them can attract defense to pass to teammates, Marion's open three-point and impact rebounding are very powerful, although a little single, a little simpler, but it is really powerful, contemporary Jordan is really a bit of a contemporary Jordan, Stoudemire also gradually has the style of a small bully, in the case of Marion impact offensive rebounding, the two played a beautiful game.

Liu Mang was forced to switch to defensive play in the first three quarters to defend Leandro Barbosa, this guy was too fast, and the Hawks only Liu Mang and Jason Terry could keep up, but in the fourth quarter, after the Hawks' offensive play against the Suns had been figured out, they suppressed the rhythm and used the interior combination of Kwame Brown and Ratliff to guard the basket, Liu Mang, Prince, and Raheem carried out crazy defensive suppression of Joe Johnson and Sean Marion.

The Hawks really underestimated the Suns in the first three quarters, Ratliff went down to rest after playing for a few minutes, Rashid Wallace was not there, Muhammad was active and lackluster in the power forward position, Boozer defended the black hole, until Kwame Brown was pushed to the power forward position, and after the Hawks were serious, the Hawks suppressed the Suns, in the first half of the game, Stoudemire got 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Joe Johnson had 18 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, and Sean Marion got 15 points and 11 rebounds in the third quarter, It caused a lot of trouble for the Hawks, who led by just two points at 79-77 after the third quarter.

The talent of these three players is really good, no worse than the Eagles' side, but they lack a helmsman.

And the Eagles already have someone at the helm on their side!

Liu Mang scored 20 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, and after the team presented a weakened version of the meat grinder defensive lineup, Liu Mang turned on the scoring mode and led the team to a score of 27-17 in a single quarter, and finally defeated the Suns 106-94 to win three consecutive victories.

With 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Liu Mang's performance is still excellent.

After winning three in a row, the Hawks became the first team in the league to win 30.

Then the Hawks came to Los Angeles, California next door to challenge the Clippers, the Clippers team is very unpredictable, the stars are definitely top stars, Margeti who averages 21+6+3 per game and Elton Brand, who has averaged 20+10+3 per game since the beginning of his rookie season, and Quentin Richardson, who continues to skyrocket in the big Q, as well as high-quality rookie Chris Carman, and Bobby Simmons and Eddie House, which are high-quality role players that championship teams want. And the team has no injuries, and the head coach is Mike Dunleavy, the excellent coach who coached the Magic to the Finals in his rookie season, but they can just play to the bottom of the West.

In this game, the Hawks played very easily, happily attacking with the opponent, Liu Mang scored 33 points and 7 assists in the third quarter, helping the Hawks kill the Clippers in the third quarter, leading by 16 points 81-65.

Before Liu Mang was replaced in the third quarter, he forcibly threw a few, brushed the score to a higher than his average score per game before leaving the game, and saw Stockton and Jason Terry, who were ready to be replaced on the sidelines, twitch the corners of their mouths.

104-90, the Hawks continue their winning streak!

On January 15, the Hawks came to Oakland to play the last game of their five-game road trip to the Warriors.

For the Warriors, many teams in the league now give the Warriors a friendly nickname - Santa Claus.

always hand over the stars who have obviously been played to others, let other teams take off, and continue to mess up by themselves.

If Arenas said that he left for a big contract, then Jamison and Larry Hughes were really given up by the Warriors themselves, they wanted to correct the core combination of Jason Richardson and Eric Dampier, and also paired with Dunleavy Jr., Clifford Robinson, Nick Van Exel and other helpers, but it proved that these two are not the core material, and the Warriors can only continue to mess up.

The score in this game was 92-61, and the Hawks put on a frantic defensive press against the Warriors.

It's really not the Hawks against the Warriors, but the Warriors themselves have to fight defense, this year's career peak performance averaged 12+12 per game, Dampier shouted that he is the second center in the West, he played really hard for a big contract in the contract year, and the defense was really good, and he took the lead in the defensive battle.

Then the Hawks responded aggressively and then defended the Warriors for 40 points in the third quarter of the half......

In this game, Liu Mang's scoring performance was average, with only 16 points, plus 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

After winning all five consecutive road games, the Hawks returned to Atlanta and ushered in five consecutive home games, starting with back-to-back games between the Raptors and Bulls on the 17th and 18th.

After the Raptors lost Carter, a wave of 8 consecutive defeats rolled in, and they fell directly to the bottom three in the East, with a record only better than the Magic and the Bulls, if it weren't for the Magic's record being so bad, these two teams really want to compete with the Magic for the penultimate place, maybe they can get the legendary next Olajuwon of the University of Connecticut's Emeka Okafor, although the Raptors already have Milicic, but who doesn't love the twin towers, although the Bulls already have the twin towers, how do they think Tyson Chandler doesn't like it, It's nice to change one.

But not getting the top pick doesn't mean that these two teams don't want to mess up, Devin Harris, Ben Gordon, and Rohr Deng are all very marketable rookies to be drafted, and the draft market in 04 is also very good.

In the face of these two teams, Liu Mang finally broke out!

Playing the Raptors and scoring 42 points in 33 minutes, playing the Bulls in 36 minutes and scoring 40 points, four 40+ in two consecutive games!

Liu Mang led the Eagles to easily win seven consecutive victories!

……

"Uncle, what are you counting? Math problems? Dinah looked at Liu Mang, who was writing with a pen, and asked curiously.

Mathematics or something, people from European and American countries, if they don't study mathematics professionally, then the data is called a rotten.

So people who are good at math are quite curious to ordinary Americans.

"I'm counting how many points I have to score a game if I want to increase my average points per game."

30.9 points, Liu Mang looks like he has played 41 games, and now if he wants to improve by 0.1 points, he needs to score at least 35 points in a single game, and sometimes he has to score 36 points, like 40 points back-to-back before, and the two games add up to 0.4 points.

30.9 points...... For Maddy, who averaged 32.1 points per game last season, it wasn't very difficult.

The loss is that the Magic team is really bad, the lineup is even worse than last season, Maddy once averaged 34 points per game last season, and it was because his teammates didn't give him strength that it became difficult to score.

This year's defense of the league has reached the slowest pace in NBA history, Maddie has played a few games in the past few games, and it is not bad, but the scoring is not as easy as Liu Mang, and every time he attacks, he has to encounter more pinching and co-defense, and he does not have Liu Mang's opportunity to rely on his teammates to take the defense away after passing out, his teammates are really bad, so Maddie can only play every ball, that is, he wants to compete with Liu Mang for the scoring title, but the loss is that Liu Mang appeared, otherwise Maddie may be like the original history, Seeing that the second place was so far away from himself, he finished the season and won the scoring title with an average of 289 points per game.

Seeing that Maddie has chased the average score per game to 30.3 points, Liu Mang feels that he still needs to work hard to win the scoring title!

It's just that the easy schedule is over, and the most difficult schedule is coming soon!
