855. The best gift
The Hawks' home game against the Knicks is about to begin.
On the Knicks bench, Marbury and others saw what was going on on the Hawks' side, and a group of players gathered around to discuss, and it didn't seem to be something related to the game, Marbury was angry when he looked at it.
Don't take them seriously at all!
But seeing his teammates look lifeless, with expressions of "losing again" written on their faces, Marbury also felt a deep sense of despair.
Originally, Larry Brown came, Marbury still had some expectations at the beginning of the season, and this season their roster has been strengthened, forcibly getting Jamal Crawford from the Bulls, and having Larry Brown, the head coach who has reached the Finals, has made the playoffs last season, and they all thought that they could have a better performance this season.
But they probably forgot that the previous Lenny Wilkens coach was no worse than Larry Brown in every way.
Lenny Wilkens has also reached the Finals three times, won a championship and won more than 1,300 regular-season games all-time......
After replacing Larry Brown, the Knicks collapsed directly, and now they have a total of 7 games, 7 wins and 18 losses, only better than the Hornets, Bucks, and Raptors, and are ranked fourth from the bottom in the East.
The main thing is that Larry Brown and the Knicks' players can't get along at all, and they are angry at every turn, and the Knicks nursing home is finally completely open, and they all look like they can't win.
Marbury is also a player with a heart, now there is a deep sense of despair, but he is powerless to return to the sky, he is a first-class star at most, very similar to Francis, if there is no particularly good teammate off-ball offense, he must be paired with a particularly suitable teammate, such as a pitcher like Alan Houston, just like Francis and Ray Allen, Lewis and others after the mix, but unfortunately Alan Houston directly reimbursed this year.
As the season progressed, Marbury slowly got used to the desperation......
……
Liu Mang instructed his teammates to get ready for what they would do after winning the game, and then called their teammates together.
"Ahem, it's Dinah's birthday, right, so you all have to pass the ball to me!" Liu Mang is very strong to show his majesty as the boss.
"Well, you're a point guard, what can we do if you don't pass the ball?" Jason Terry gave Liu Mang a blank look, "How many passes have you made this year?" Every time it was Tracy who gave us the ball. ”
Liu Mang said angrily: "Jason, am I this kind of person in your eyes?" ”
Jason Terry nodded seriously: "You are." ”
“……”
"Okay, okay, Ace, I'll pass the ball to you, you just throw it, don't delay me to hit the assist king." Maddie said in disgust.
Looking at Maddie, Liu Mang really can't refute, who called Maddie this season's pass-oriented, with a particularly high shooting rate, averaging 9.2 shots per game to hit 5 times, and 4.1 free throws, Maddie's real shooting rate this season broke six.
Although Liu Mang also has a shooting rate of 48 percent, which is really as high as 57 percent, the Eagles can only compare with Maddy's shooting rate, and Kwame Brown's real shooting rate is almost 70 percent.
Liu Mang and Maddie are regarded as models of mutual achievement, but in terms of efficiency, Maddie is much higher, with less useless shooting and more passes, Liu Mang is willing to shoot and shoot, and the two fit perfectly.
Maddie and Jason Terry are fine, and the others certainly won't.
Liu Mang sharpened his knife and was ready to slaughter, but the strategy still had to be there, Liu Mang called his teammates together and said a few more words.
The more the teammates listened, the more strange their expressions became......
……
By 6 p.m., the match, which was not broadcast live on any TV station, was about to begin.
With a roar from Rashid Wallace, Prince began to twist his body, Maddie delicately smeared magnesium powder on his palms and fingers, Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, and the two teams started their debut!
The Hawks sent Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rashid Wallace, Kwame Brown.
The Knicks also look strong on the lineup, with a combination of Marbury, Crawford, Kurt Thomas, Jerome Williams, and Kurt Thomas.
Accompanied by the cheers of the fans on the spot, Kwame Brown came to the center circle to jump the ball with endless fighting spirit.
The self-proclaimed No. 1 center in the East has already stirred up the topic, and almost all the news today is talking about Kwame Brown, except for the initial period when he entered the NBA and became a parallel import, for the first time in three years, he dominated the screen on the websites and newspapers of major news media.
Just hit the Knicks...... It is true that no TV station is willing to broadcast live, which makes Liu Mang feel very regretful.
O'Neal has not responded yet, but Kwame Brown is really popular, and he also pulled Kobe's fans on, according to the reporter's revelations, a large number of Los Angeles and California fans went to major polling places to vote for Kwame Brown, Kobe's popularity is still proper, Liu Mang let Kwame Brown rub Kobe's popularity, and now it seems quite correct, and the results are immediate!
Kobe Bryant didn't respond, because he didn't say anything about him directly, Liu Mang estimated that there must be laughter from the bathroom of Kobe's house all day long.
The referee chooses the ball and comes to the field, directs both teams to stand, and after they are all standing, blows the whistle for the start of the game and throws the ball into the air.
An excited Kwame Brown burst into flames and flicked the ball to the back.
After receiving the ball, Liu Mang immediately passed it to Maddie and ran towards the front court.
The Knicks retreated too slowly, and after Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, there was no one who retreated in place, Maddie hoisted the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang easily scored two points.
Watching Larry Brown scold on the sidelines at the beginning of the game, Liu Mang observed a two-second silence for the old coach.
The last time they met, the Knicks still had a little momentum, and now, the people who have fighting spirit on the Knicks team are Marbury.
Crawford is playing in a bad team all year round, in the first four seasons of his career, there is no season that is not competing for the top three picks, when he first came to the Knicks, he thought of the playoff team and the Finals coach, Crawford is still very motivated to score and organize the offense, but now, the team has a poor record, and the Bulls have directly moved the league's bottom three to climb to fifth in the East! The drop was so violent that Crawford now received the ball and threw it.
On the Hawks' side, they just took advantage of the Knicks' mentality to carry out high-speed rotation defense, and the Knicks' side was very different from the last time they met, and now it is completely rotten to the end, and they are completely brainless by the Hawks Devils' home court, and they throw it directly against the defense.
That is, the Knicks have a good lineup, and they have an average of 97 points per game, but Larry Brown is a defensive coach, and the Knicks are conceding as many as 102 points per game!
The Hawks hit back-to-back counters, opening with a 17-7 scoring blast that sent Larry Brown to call a timeout.
4 minutes 17-7, the Eagles scored and blew up again.
Among them, 13 points were scored by Liu Mang! Four of the points came from Kwame Brown's layup.
After the Knicks called a timeout, the offense seemed to be "improving", and after Larry Brown began to curse again, the Knicks finally began to pass, and this pass really "tore apart" the Hawks' defense.
The two teams began to make a fuss about the difference of about ten points, after the first quarter, the Hawks were 35-24, leading the Knicks by 11 points, Liu Mang scored 19 points in the first quarter, and after the first timeout, he was infinitely packed by the Knicks, even without the ball.
In the next game, the Knicks looked like they had exploded today, playing very well and keeping their finger on the point difference.
Until the end of the third quarter, the Hawks still only led by 12 points at 87-75, maintaining a lead of about 10 points, but they never opened the difference.
Liu Mang scored 44 points in the third quarter, and the scoring was really difficult, and Marbury and Crawford on the Knicks' side and Anfernee Hardaway on the rotation were all infinitely pinched against him.
Liu Mang secretly sighed that fortunately he was witty enough to ask his teammates not to make the score difference too big, otherwise it would not be easy for a team like the Knicks, who is now completely out of order to play blindly and blindly.
First of all, the enmity between him and the Knicks is too great, and the opposing players will definitely scare him when they see that he wants to score points, and the Knicks are playing very badly now, and they don't even have the momentum at the beginning of the season, the offensive end is completely blind, and the Hawks are too serious on the defensive end and are likely to pull the point difference away in waves, so Liu Mang asked his teammates to help him for his own selfish interests, and didn't pull the point difference apart.
Of course, once the Knicks shot accurately and Liu Mang played a little more, Maddie used Liu Mang to contain the defense, pass the ball to others, stretch the difference to more than 10 points, and then let Liu Mang brush up the score.
The Knicks don't have the defensive strength of the Bulls to seize opportunities to win, and they are being toyed with by Maddy, who is getting better and better on the court.
The Knicks themselves still think that they can bite the point difference with the strong team today and are happy, Marbury is one of them, he was desperate, who knew that there was hope! So I've been fighting, and I've scored 37 points in three quarters, and my personal score is not much different from Liu Mang's, which makes Marbury more motivated.
It was only after the fourth quarter...... Marbury's whole person is not good, he can see that the Hawks are playing with them over there!
Because the Hawks came to the fourth quarter, after three or four minutes of play, the difference was stretched to more than 20 points! Marbury didn't score a point in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter and was killed by Maddie!
Liu Mang has become a super big wave today, after playing in the third quarter, he has been on the court for 31 minutes, and he has thrown 30 times, and he has made 14 of 30 shots, that is, he has a shot almost every minute of playing time......
Fortunately, the shooting rate was good, and the Knicks didn't pack much better, and Liu Mang scored 44 points in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Coach Kruger originally wanted Liu Mang to rest and let Maddie take others to play, so that he could win easily, but Liu Mang wanted to score points, and even used the reason of "daughter's birthday", and Coach Kruger could only continue to replace Liu Mang.
It's good now, the Knicks have a double bag for Liu Mang without the ball, and the three of them have the ball together.
In the fourth quarter, Liu Mang finally began to play crazy iron continuously, but the score difference was widening little by little, because Liu Mang singled in the top arc, and the Hawks grabbed 4 grabs and 2 rebounds under the basket......
With one minute left, Liu Mang finally scored the 20th goal of the game, hitting a three-point shot, scoring 60 points and scoring 61 points!
Liu Mang threw 15 times in the final quarter, made a total of 6 shots, and scored 17 points in a single quarter......
The Knicks don't attack, dribbling consumes time, Liu Mang feels so desperate, he is already leading by 20 points at 118-98, and it is impossible to go up to foul and brush up again!
It's okay to brush points normally, the Knicks were scored 60+ by Liu Mang last season, and they already have the psychological capacity, if they deliberately foul and score points...... Don't fight.
The Eagles didn't press the defense or anything, and they would work hard before Liu Mang scored 60 points, but Liu Mang had already scored 61 points, and there were dozens of seconds left, and it was impossible to score 70 points......
As the Knicks spent 24 seconds of offensive time and threw the ball out of bounds, Coach Kruger also waited for the dead ball to replace Liu Mang after Liu Mang scored 61 points.
Liu Mang listened sadly to the prompt of the failed mission and was replaced.
"Ding...... Give you all the world I can give the mission failed......"
scored 61 points on 20-of-46 shooting, Liu Mang felt so congested for the first time with 60+......
……
Liu Mang scored 61 points, failing to refresh his personal highest score in a single game, but setting a new high for the Eagles' home players! For the first time in the history of the Hawks, there were 60 points in a single game at home!
Phillips Arena, has never witnessed a single game of 60+, a single game of 50+ has been witnessed several times, most of them were also created by Liu Mang, before Liu Mang maintained a single game of 57 points, is the highest score ever in Phillips Arena, but because Wilkins has also scored 50+ here before, it is not a special thing.
But now, Liu Mang scored 61 points in a single game, so that Phillips Arena also had a 60+ performance feast in a single game!
The scene was already crazy when Liu Mang threw the last three points, Liu Mang glanced at it, and saw that the little Lori was also jumping and cheering, although he was congested when he was replaced, he was still very happy, mainly because he was very happy to see the little Lori.
In fact, as long as Liu Mang behaves well, Dinah will be very happy, and the point of making little Lori happy is not how many points he scores.
The number of points is only a matter of whether there is a punishment or not.
Liu Mang returned to the bench and carefully looked at the details of the countdown task that said Failure, and the punishment time had begun, and it was not written in the punishment that he did not refresh his scoring record, and Xiao Lori would be unhappy.
Failure punishment, just to say that he will be unlucky for a week.
The Hawks used up time for the last offense and didn't shoot any more, beating the Knicks by 20 points, 118-98.
Liu Mang got 61 points and 3 boards, Maddie got 11 points, 12 boards and 15 assists, and Kwame Brown got 21 points and 20 boards of double 20 data.
After the game, the live DJ told the fans not to leave right away, there was a big thing.
Seeing that his teammates had gone to get the banner for Dina that had been prepared a long time ago, the team's press officer also called the media over, and the microphone was brought over, and Liu Mang put aside the punishment for failing the mission.
Liu Mang came to the position facing the technical desk and took the microphone: "Today is the cutest and most beautiful girl in our family, Dinah Savesia's 10th birthday, today I scored 61 points, I think, this is the best gift I can give Dinah!" ”
After Liu Mang began to "confess" to Xiao Lori, his teammates pulled up the banner of "Happy Birthday Dinah", which was urgently customized by Liu Mang and his teammates in the afternoon to find the store in the stadium that usually makes banners for fans.
Dinah, Levia, and Alexia were going to go home after the game and wait for the guests to come to the party, but they didn't expect this!
Today's 10-year-old little Lori girl's heart exploded, tears flew with excitement, the scene all cheered, sang the birthday song, little Lori almost ran towards the court, but they sat in the back position, Christine Wagner's bodyguard stopped the little Lori's actions, to avoid accidents, no, if Liu Mang hadn't ordered the security in advance to protect Dina and the other four after the game, the fans next to him would have poured up.
After Liu Mang said that this 60+ was a birthday gift for little Lori, he was ready to leave the court in style, and he didn't know whose handkerchief floated next to Liu Mang, Liu Mang turned around and stepped on it, and his body walked forward and turned forward in front of the left, the handkerchief was really advanced, it was silk, and the friction with the floor was very small, Liu Mang twisted his right foot on it, and his right foot slipped out backwards at once, and he threw himself directly forward, a dog eats......
The fans at the scene were singing birthday songs, but suddenly they fell silent as if they had been choked by the neck.
Dinah was excitedly tearing up and saying thank you to the excited fans next to her, and when she saw Liu Mang falling, her tears stopped......
The scene was quiet for two seconds, and when I saw Liu Mang, who got up and ran towards the players' tunnel, stepped on a pool of sweat and almost fell to the ground, finally, the scene couldn't help but start laughing......
Marbury, who was preparing to leave in the away team's players' tunnel, saw Liu Mang fall so badly, and was beaten to death by Liu Mang with 60+ hearts, and finally happy: "This bastard has really been retributed!" ”
