On December 11, the Hawks came to Sacramento for a night of rest and took on the Kings on the 12th.

When he came to the Arco Arena before, Liu Mang was booed, and Liu Mang's three-point contest made Peja lose face, and Kings fans have always been disgusted with Liu Mang.

But this time Liu Mang came to the Arco Arena and received a lot of cheers from fans when he played.

Anyone who made Kobe Bryant and O'Neal deflated come to the Kings' home court and are heroes.

When Liu Mang heard these cheers, he felt the helplessness of the Kings fans and the fact that the Kings were in decline.

The opening win rate was just over 30%, and the Kings finally fell completely in the 05-06 season after sending away Divac, Webber and Christie one after another.

After Liu Mang came out, he sat on the bench and watched the home team players enter.

There were also cheers, after all, Mike Bibby and Peja Stojakovic, the most gorgeous Kings of the year, were still on the Kings, but the Kings players gave the impression that they were lifeless.

When a strong team meets the Hawks, they all want to end the Hawks' winning streak, such as the SuperSonics; Emerging teams that are trying to rise aggressively also want to beat the Hawks to announce their coming, such as the Clippers.

But a team like the Kings that is still dressed as a strong team, but strong on the outside and strong in the middle, is like a pool of backwater.

The 27-year-old Mike Bibby is at his peak, averaging 20+ per game for the first time in his career, and has played 25 games so far this season, averaging 20.8 points, 3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, but the Kings basically have nothing to do with the playoffs, 8-17 so far this season, ranking 12th in the West, and the eleventh Hornets are currently 12-14, far surpassing the Kings, the top 11 and the bottom four in the West, and the record is very different.

Mike Bibby is very powerful, big heart, dare to take responsibility, but he does not have the ability to become the boss of a team, the average of 20+5 per game at his peak is his limit, he is more suitable to be the second or third leader of a strong team, stand up at critical moments and dare to shoot, the kind that can give the core stability help in regular time.

Bibi's current teammates, whether they are Bunch Wells or Peja, do not have the ability and aura to be the boss, but Peja is also threatened by Bunch Wells, a newcomer with a salary of 3 million a year.

For a star who is in his prime at the age of 28 and averaged 24.6 points per game last season, it's incredible.

But Peja has collapsed this season, averaging only 16.5 points per game, his lowest scoring average since he started the Kings.

Bibby, as a perfect second- or third-master star, struggled to find someone who could assist, and he wanted to be the boss, but he lacked ability.

Liu Mang has long learned about the situation of the Kings this season from the news, Liu Mang has the impression that Peja is going to be traded away this season, it may not only be the reason why Bunch Wells joined, Liu Mang went to Sacramento yesterday, and when he studied the video of the Kings, he found that Peja had little fighting spirit from the beginning of the season, although his defense was average, but he had averaged at least 1 steal per game for five consecutive seasons before, but this season has 25 games so far, there are only 5 steals in total, and there is no fighting spirit at all.

Bunch Wells was going to grab the starting spot, and Peja immediately requested a trade.

The Kings are now peddling Peja, and the Hawks have also been contacted, but the appetite is slightly bigger.

Liu Mang remembered that Peja was originally only traded to Artest, but when the Kings asked the Hawks for a trade, Iguodala and Josh Smith, a duo with the potential to become the core of a team, Price hung up the phone directly.

Liu Mang originally thought that the Pacers would sell Artest to the Kings, but for some reason, the Kings didn't want Artest, and they were still selling Peja for the price.

Or because Liu Mang's three-point is too terrifying, although it has not yet made an epoch-making change like Stephen Curry, but it has also begun to affect some things, some players with excellent three-point ability last summer are worth more than Liu Mang's impression, that is, Calderon and Korver want to stay with the Hawks to win three consecutive championships and take a salary cut to renew their contracts.

And Peja, as long as he plays well, is the third strongest three-point player in the NBA in the league after Liu Mang and Ray Allen.

Liu Mang took a look at the ability evaluation of the Kings players.

"Mike Bibby, Ability Rating 87 (Peak), Offense 89, Defense 67, Three-Point 87, Shooting 84, Layup 88, Passing 84, Speed 90, Power 75......"

A very perfect second- and third-in-command, Liu Mang's deepest impression of Mike Bibby is hard, and he is the most reliable person in the Kings playoffs.

"Peja Stojakovic, Ability Rating 80 (Negative Status) Ability Rating 89 (Normal), Offense 87-91, Defense 60, Three-Point 93, Shooting 87, Layup 84, Speed 87, Power 85......."

Peja's ability evaluation, it is obvious that Peja is not affected by injuries or anything, the 28-year-old is in his prime, he just doesn't want to play in the Kings anymore, occasionally a little passionate, but most of the time he is sluggish.

Liu Mang only noticed this year that Peja, the 96 golden generation, is only 28 years old now! Bibi is only 27 years old!

That is, the 01-02 season of the peak of the Kings, they are still rookies! Rookie contract!

Because both joined the NBA after the four-year rookie contract of the new first-round contract came out in 1998-1999, Peja stayed in Europe for two years.

Liu Mang couldn't help but feel a trace of regret for the Kings, and it was also a regret for him as a fan.

When the Kings were at their peak, their two major starters were still so young, if the Kings' Bibby and Peja were also at their peak at that time, and neither of them was the kind of person who greedy for the ball, how terrible would that Kings team be?

However, the NBA is always full of regrets, Liu Mang himself is the creator of many regrets, and it is not an exaggeration to use "the culprit", Liu Mang sighed for a while, and he didn't think too much, there are too many regrets in the NBA, such as Ma Long, holding an assistant coach without a name championship ring is rare.

Bunch Wells, Competency Evaluation 82, the representative of the contract year outbreak, two consecutive contract years, is also not easy.

Brad Miller, Aptitude Rating 77, Peak Past.

It looks like the Kings lineup is still good, but the hearts of the people have been scattered.

Liu Mang cares most about the Kings' rising star, sophomore Kevin Martin, the Kings' new starting point guard this year.

Finally, I met the pioneer of the porcelain industry!

"Kevin Martin, Ability Rating 76, Offense 82, Defense 70, Three-Point 86, Shooting 77, Layup 88, Speed 92, Power 74......"

The strength of the weak team's qualified starters, with an average of 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game, as a sophomore player, he is not trained as a core, and in the case of civil strife in the team, it is not bad to have this level as a singles player.

After looking at the ability of the opposing players, Liu Mang didn't go to greet them, and the relationship was not good, mainly because Liu Mang and Peja had always had a bad relationship.

……

Originally, they had 11 national live broadcasts at the beginning of the season, but after the first month of playing, the subsequent national live broadcasts were basically canceled, including the Hawks coming to their home court to play this game, which was originally broadcast live on ESPN, but ESPN canceled them.

However, due to the play, Liu Mang doubled 20 in the third quarter, Maddie scored 50 points in a single game, and Liu Mang scored 90 points in the game. T Sports broadcasts this game on the air, in case the Eagles have another big statistic.

The Kings fielded a starting lineup of Bibby, Martin, Peja, Kenny Thomas, and Brad Miller.

On the Hawks' side, Rashid Wallace was rested today, with Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown starting.

Jump Ball!

Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from Brad Miller's head, Liu Mang quickly advanced after receiving the ball, unexpectedly, the Kings retreated in a disorganized manner, and if you want to say that there is any defensive strategy, it is a bunch of people blocking the top arc, Liu Mang passed half the court, and saw a bunch of people blocking there, Bibby, Martin, Peja, and Kenny Thomas were all crowded in the top arc.

Are you blocking me? Four defenses and one? As for it? Liu Mang threw the ball to Josh Smith, who ran into the three-point line from the right, Josh Smith rushed inside, threw the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown scored two points with an empty dunk.

Brad Miller stands one step inside the free throw line, can't stop anyone, and will become a background, simply standing and watching the dunk show.

From the performance of the Kings players, Liu Mang only saw one emotion - indifference!

Apathy to defense, indifference to victory.

Kings ...... It's really over!

Offense and defense transitioned, Kings singled.

Bibby pushed forward and handed the ball to Brad Miller, who was pulled up to the top of the arc.

Brad Miller is an inspirational player who made the way from undrafted to the U.S. national team, represented Team USA at the Pan American Basketball Championship last summer, and was invited and invited to join the 2006 U.S. Men's Basketball Dream Seven team.

On the defensive end, Brad Miller was not motivated, but he was still very careful in organizing the attack, and after getting the ball, he mobilized his teammates' runs and found that Peja was not moving!

Liu Mang followed Bibby here, not giving Bibby a chance to cut and catch the ball, and Kenny Thomas was entangled by Josh Smith.

Brad Miller can only get the ball to Kevin Martin, the most aggressive sophomore.

After Kevin Martin received the ball, the Kings completely stopped and watched the sophomore singles.

Liu Mang leaned against Bibby and looked at Kevin Martin.

This pioneer in the porcelain industry has a ...... appearance It really doesn't look like he plays in the NBA, it feels like a clerk in a supermarket near his home, it's too ordinary, except for being tall, looking like an ordinary person, looking like an ordinary person, and dribbling like an amateur player.

Maddie was in front of Martin, very relaxed, and didn't take this sophomore in his eyes.

Martin feint and shook for a moment, Maddie was not fooled, Martin chose to accelerate the breakthrough!

The speed is very fast, almost on par with Maddie, the kind that can run three or four steps with a dribble, and the small broken steps can fly.

But Maddie followed closely and was not shaken off.

Martin stopped one step from the free throw line, grabbed the ball and raised it up to shoot!

Maddie stretched out her arm ready to interfere.

Just as Maddie raised her arm, but before she could fully lift it, suddenly Martin made a big loop of the ball and hit Maddie's arm, and Martin screamed "Ah......" and threw himself forward......

"Beep......

The fans began to cheer loudly!

Here it comes!

Hooligan fouls!

Maddie's eyes widened, and she glanced at Liu Mang, who was stunned, and then at Martin, who had no one to help him get up.

This picture is so familiar!

That's how Liu Mang fouled him when he was a rookie!

Liu Mang was stunned, this guy actually learned from him!

Liu Mang remembered that Martin made fouls like this, he relied more on his scoring threats to make fouls, because he would shoot very accurately in the future, and by the time he was 32 years old in 2015, he was almost 33 years old, and he could still average 20 points per game, which is an evergreen type of player, but he made fouls like this!

But...... Liu Mang was actually a little happy, and he became the object of imitation!

Maddie's depression actually became a second-grade background.

Liu Mang saw the glint in Maddie's eyes and knew that this guy was going to be serious, just like when the two met for the first time four years ago.

Martin walked to the free-throw line, and the audience rang out with the loudest cheers of any Kings player.

The hardest player this year is not Bibby, the Kings' scoring champion so far this season, but this sophomore!

Martin finally seized the opportunity to start, of course, he will not let it go, even if the team is chaotic, he is actively fighting to sit in the starting position.

Hit both penalties!

Martin smiled excitedly at Liu Mang, and then returned to defense.

From Martin's smile...... Liu Mang was happy when he saw it......

Of course, Martin is happy, his favorite player is Liu Mang, who played as a substitute for two years as a rookie, his skills are almost learned, shooting-based, supplemented by fouls, and the movements are all learned the same.

However, now Liu Mang and Martin can't learn anymore, and many of Liu Mang's current playing styles need strength support, and Martin can't do this.

Offense and defense switched, and the Eagles attacked.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, Bibi Fang was in front of Liu Mang.

The Kings' defense wasn't as bizarre as the first defense, and Coach Adelman was already roaring on the sidelines.

This is the rice bowl that affects him!

The Kings owner has informed him that he will not be renewing his contract after this season, and he is also pointing to a little bit of good work this season to get a job in the summer.

Liu Mang just started to break through, and seeing that Martin and Peja both had pinch movements, in this game, the Kings players had only one goal to work on.

In an interview before the game, Liu Mang said to reporters very sincerely: "I'm not interested in getting high scores again, I really don't have any interest in doing that kind of thing again." ”

That's what you say, but no one believes it.

Although Liu Mang's first attack at the beginning was passing, the Kings still don't believe that Liu Mang doesn't want to score points, especially Peja, although he no longer has the kind of intra-team power that last season's boss, but Martin, the little brother who followed Peja to practice shooting, and Bibi, an old friend, are willing to help him prevent Liu Mang from death.

Seeing this situation, Liu Mang decisively chose to break through.

Liu Mang accelerated to break through, Bibi couldn't keep up, but when Liu Mang reached the free throw line, Martin and Peja had already caught the shot, Liu Mang immediately distributed the ball to Maddie, and Maddie received the ball and shot a three-point shot......

"Bang ......"

Didn't make the first shot......

However, Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebound, Liu Mang squeezed out of Martin and Peja at this time and rushed into the interior, Josh Smith passed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang jumped up, and Bibby, who was going to make up for the defense, blocked Maddie, was scared and took it back, Liu Mang passed to Maddie in the air again, and Maddie received the ball and shot a three-point shot......

This time it's in!

Maddie quickly stepped back after the goal, the Kings played a mess, Brad Miller sent out after the Hawks scored, and Bibby pushed forward quickly.

Fortunately, under the command of Maddie, the Hawks retreated quickly and were not dragged into the chaos by the Kings.

The ball is in Martin's hands again, and Martin continues to single Maddie.

Don't look at Martin's average statistics, he only averaged 11 points per game, mainly because he only played an average of 23 minutes per game, and the Kings team didn't look at the poor record, there are many powerful players who need the ball, but they lack real core players, cores like Webb.

Martin slapped Maddie in front of Liu Mang before, and now he is very excited and wants to come again.

Martin continued to force Maddie in the same way, and when it came to a mid-range stop, he saw Maddie raise his hand, and Martin made another big lapel......

"Ah......h

The screams were there, but Martin's arm didn't feel the collision!

The whole person jumped up and barely threw the ball......

"Smack"

Martin is not really ready to jump, otherwise his very good bouncing can shoot against Maddie, and it is one thing to throw or not, but the probability of Maddie wanting to block Martin, who is two meters and one meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms and has excellent bounce, is very low.

But Martin wasn't ready to jump and was slapped off by Maddie!

Maddie rudely squeezed away Martin who fell down and did not stand, Martin sat on the ground, and the referee didn't blow it, just now Maddie had already eaten a foul, and then blew two fouls, just now Martin's ball is a shooting foul within the rules plus this is the home court of the Kings, and now the two of them are fighting for positions without the ball, and the referee didn't blow Maddie, of course, Maddie is indeed a foul action.

Maddie grabbed the ball and immediately passed it to Liu Mang, who had already run out of the three-point line, and then followed behind Liu Mang.

Liu Mang rushed towards the front court, Peja and Bibi chased Liu Mang at a reasonable speed, Liu Mang deliberately did not sprint at full speed, reduced some speed, rushed into the free throw line, attracted Bibi and Peja to his side, jumped, and threw the ball out towards the back of his head.

"Ding...... The air magician triggered, and the host jumped and passed the ball this time, playing the opponent. ”

Liu Mang jumped lightly and landed gently, and as soon as he heard the system prompt, he saw a No. 23 player flying past him, with his arm still extended, and slapped his palm on the rebound.

"Grass!" Liu Mang couldn't help but burst into foul language, this guy who imitated him actually wanted to cap him!

Liu Mang's jump pass not only deceived the opponent, but also Josh Smith, who cut in on the left.

That is, Maddie reacted quickly, stopped and changed direction to receive the ball in the top arc, and half-turned the top arc to shoot a three-point shot......

Again!

Maddie feels here!

Liu Mang saw the ball fall from the net, turned his head to look at Maddie's focused look, and then looked at Martin, the No. 23 player who wanted to cap him just now, Liu Mang felt that Martin was ...... today It's over!
