41 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists!

Liu Mang played 37 minutes, got the 20th 40+ time of his career, and helped the Hawks beat the Wizards 109-92 and won four consecutive victories!

From the first quarter when the Hawks relied on defense to stretch the margin to more than 10 points, the Hawks' defense was not so serious, except for one ...... Kwame Brown!

Every time he faced the Wizards, Kwame Brown was extremely excited, grabbing rebounds and dunking very actively.

Kwame Brown will now avoid the problem of his small hands, eat cakes and rely on empty catches, grab offensive rebounds can directly make up the basket and dunk and never take it down, this game Kwame Brown's teacher Ratliff took the initiative to give him the opportunity to perform, and said at the beginning that he only started to show his face in front of the fans, the team's most glorious moment, of course he had to show his face, and then it was Kwame Brown's performance time.

Liu Mang scored 41 points today, except for the dunk, the efficiency of other shots was not high, the overall shooting situation was 14 of 34 shots, except for 4 dunks, the other shots were 10 of 30......

Mainly because, Kwame Brown broke out today! The rebounding grabbed Raheem to only grab 5 rebounds and score 7 points, and it didn't take long to play, because Kwame Brown had grabbed the rebounds well enough to explode Haywood, who squeezed him away, to the point of crying!

Kwame Brown looked at Haywood and got excited, it was Jordan who scolded him the most in the Wizards team back then, but Jordan was the boss's teacher, and now after Kwame Brown played out, he knew that it was a spur, although he didn't like Jordan, he still maintained respect, and Haywood's Kwame Brown's hostility was different, when he was on the Wizards, he was the guy at the end of the first round of the same class, and it was this guy who said that he was the most powerful parallel import.

Kwame Brown came up and played 41 minutes, finishing with 17 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks, three of which went to Haywood!

Relying on Kwamei Brown's rebounding guarantee, Liu Mang threw wildly, but what made Liu Mang very unhappy was this small-handed man who was the same as the iron, obviously grabbed the rebound and scored so poorly in the second offense, grabbed 8 offensive rebounds, and only threw in four times, but actually grabbed the rebound and didn't pass it out, so that Liu Mang's shooting rate was less than 40% for a while, and he finally got 40% before he got off the court......

After beating the Wizards, the Hawks' record improved to 68-11!

Officially surpassed the Lakers' 67 wins and became the strongest team in the regular season in the new century!

When the final whistle sounded, Liu Mang, who was sitting on the sidelines and madly despised the little hand man and was all alone, heard the system prompt, finally put his caution aside, and excitedly went on the field to hug and celebrate with his teammates.

"Ding...... The mission of the strongest team in the new century has been completed, and congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Kobe Bryant 99-00 season star card. ”

"Kobe Bryant 99-00 Edition, Ability Rating 90, Offense 86, Defense 95......"

"Ding...... The host led the team to the best record of the 21st century held by the Los Angeles Lakers so far, earning 1,000,000 rogue points. ”

Looking at the 84.12 million hooligan value, which is less than 16 million, Liu Mang is even happier!

In addition, after this game, Liu Mang's average score per game just exceeded 33 points!

……

After the game, Liu Mang and his teammates were interviewed together, gifts were given to the fans at the scene, and the team celebrated Liu Mang's fan interaction activities to lock the scoring champion and MVP, and the lottery took photos with fans, drew a lottery to customize the jersey for the fans, and Schwartz, Nike and the Eagles cooperated to give the lottery to the fans Liu Mang's second-generation exclusive combat boots......

After being busy for more than half an hour, Liu Mang finally completed his task, tired and tired, but it was more than half an hour after seeing the end of the game, and the game ended at more than eleven o'clock, and it was almost 12 o'clock after the busy work, and seventy or eighty percent of the fans on the scene did not leave! Liu Mang was tired, but he was very happy in his heart.

Finally busy, Liu Mang looked at the still angry Jason Terry and a few active teammates still interacting with fans and accepting media interviews, Liu Mang returned to the bench to put the ice pack on his legs, ready to take a shower and go back, just now Liu Mang and Dinah took a photo, and Dinah had asked Dinah to call Levia and Alexia to wait for him in the parking lot.

Just when Liu Mang was tying the ice pack, suddenly, there was a chill!

"Ah...... it! You want to die! Liu Mang's ice bags were thrown away, he jumped up and screamed wildly, the water flowed into his mouth, and it was a little sweet.

It's actually frozen orange juice!

Looking at the laughing teammates, as well as the fans watching the excitement around them, and the bucket in the hands of the initiator Rahim, Liu Mang didn't expect that he would have this day!

After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect to be yin!

It's all the good of the little master and the others!

Looking at a group of teammates with an expression of "do you want to fight", Liu Mang really wanted to fight!

But!

It seems that every time I fight, I am the one who is abused......

Liu Mang's heart immediately became extremely desolate...... It's too late...... A group of people bullied the team's youngest little brother......

Liu Mang ran back to the locker room angrily, took off his sticky jersey and pants, and immediately went into the bathroom to wash up.

"Hey, I think about me, how can there be such a group of teammates like me, who respects the old and loves the young, how can there be such a group of teammates, forget it, the master's life is not good, and it may be the master's disaster if he meets them! Just think of it as if it encounters water," Liu Mang comforted himself early in the morning......

……

……

After winning 68 wins, the Eagles are completely relaxed and completely pressure-free.

Officially enter the end-of-season training mode.

It's not a rotational mode, but a training state, that is, using official games to practice various playoff tactics that may be used.

Except for Liu Mang, a physical monster, the playing time of everyone else is uncertain, and it is simply a substitution because of the practice of tactics to see which player is more suitable for which tactic, which is something that cannot be completed by training alone.

With two years of playoff experience, the Hawks coaching staff knows more about the playoff teams in the Eastern Conference who are threatening to their playing style and characteristics, plus Stockton, and also understands the playoff style and characteristics of several strong teams in the West. The tactics on the defensive end have become more diverse, so it needs to be practiced in actual combat.

The Eagles have already locked up the first place in the league, if it weren't for the chance to hit 72 wins, and Liu Mang shouted to get at least 68 wins, the Eagles coaching staff would have wanted to start training a long time ago.

Hitting 72 wins, this is not so easy to do, it seems that the Hawks after the All-Star Weekend, after 15 consecutive wins, 72 wins still have a chance, but NBA losses always come so unexpectedly.

The Bulls went 47-5 in the '95-'96 season, losing only five of their first 52 games, and losing five of their 30 games after the All-Star weekend.

The Lakers were also close to tying the Bulls' 72 wins, they were 41-9 at the All-Star Weekend, but they got 17 consecutive wins after the All-Star weekend, plus two consecutive wins before the All-Star Weekend, a total of 19 consecutive wins, before the Wizards unexpectedly ended the streak, but the 19-game winning streak looked more ferocious than the 18 consecutive wins created by the Bulls in previous years, and they thought they would end the season with a winning streak, but they lost five of their last 15 games.

After losing 10 games, the Eagles didn't have much hope, and the reason why they didn't start preparing for the playoffs immediately after locking the first place in the league like most strong teams in history is only because Liu Mang wants to get at least 68 wins, so it was delayed until this time, otherwise when he got 63 wins and locked the first place in the league, he could start practicing tactics.

Of course, that was a good result, as the rotation allowed most of the Hawks' players who had been physically exhausted during the tough schedule from January to March to recover.

On April 10 and 11, the Hawks had their last back-to-back of the season, back-to-back home games against the Heat and Pacers.

First up is the Heat, which is also in the Southeast Division.

After the game began, Rasheed Wallace helped the Eagles win the jump ball.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court after receiving the jump ball, and saw the menacing Wade defense, Liu Mang didn't dare to carelessly protect the ball, this guy's rookie season has been regarded as the favorite of the best defensive lineup, so that Liu Mang is still a little jealous, originally Liu Mang was also the favorite of the best defensive team last season, but after most of the defensive tasks this season were handed over to Prince and Rahim, his defense did not have many opportunities, and he went to attack more, the average defensive contribution value of the season was quite low, and the top five of the team could not enter, let alone the best defensive team.

Seeing that Wade was very serious today, Liu Mang immediately passed it to Rashid Wallace, who came to the high position, and the tactics to be practiced at the beginning of today's game were the two wings of the high position to cut into the play, Prince opened up the space, and Liu Mang caught Raheem without the ball and blocked the two of them.

The offensive tactics of the Eagles are, of course, for the best scorer, that is, the tactics prepared by Liu Mang, so Liu Mang is still the main point of attack, and the tactics are of course prepared for the players with the strongest scoring ability.

There is not much problem on the offensive end, Liu Mang and Rahim's cut, 90% of the game is distracted Odom and rookie Haslem can't stop it, Butler on the front line and Wade who defends Liu Mang can't do much after encountering the block, Liu Mang's speed is suddenly fast after each block, and he can't stop it at all when the interior defense and pick-and-roll ability is not good.

At the beginning of the game, Liu Mang easily shook off Haslem after receiving the ball and scored two points with a basket.

The tactics are pretty good, and in the face of the Heat, whose interior defense has weakened this season, the Hawks' offensive interior play has worked very well.

On the defensive end, Liu Mang waited for Wade to come over, Wade is a nanny-type player, and he has to score and organize offense, mainly because the passing is really good, and it is no problem to play point guard, Liu Mang chose to take two steps back to defend Wade, afraid that one step would be given, so he chose to deal with Wade with Ratliff, Rashid Wallace and Raheem, who is connected to the defense inside and outside.

At the same time, Liu Mang is also very jealous of Wade's passing, and the Hawks are also jealous of this and are ready for a quick rotation.

However, unexpectedly, Wade rushed all the way to the inside, had no intention of passing the ball at all, and was fanned by Rasheed Wallace......

Not just this time, but next, Wade's offense is basically his own.

When Wade was suddenly tired and desolate in his heart, he puffed out his cheeks and glanced at Liu Mang resentfully, and handed the ball to Eddie Jones for a single......

The Hawks tried various tactics, made a lot of rotations, and the offensive efficiency was good and bad, and they thought they would play a very anxious game with the Heat, but the Heat's offense was even worse!

The four outside linemen take turns playing singles......

I didn't want to win at all......

The Eagles just played a few blind games like that, and all kinds of tactics that they wouldn't do, and they all played smoothly and unfluently, and they all led by more than a dozen points......

With three games remaining, the Eastern and Western playoff teams are all locked in.

The Hawks have a record of 68 wins, the Pacers are only 59 wins, and they are 60 wins away from one win, the Pistons are 51 wins in third, the Nets are 44 wins in fourth, the Hornets are 40 wins in fifth, the Heat are 38 wins in sixth, the Bucks are 38 wins in seventh, the Knicks are 36 wins in eighth, and the Celtics are 33 wins in ninth, and the Celtics are 1-2 in the battle with the Knicks, even if they tie the Knicks' record, they will not be able to make the playoffs.

According to common sense, the teams that enter the playoffs, if not the top four teams, want to improve their records as much as possible, because the bottom four teams in the playoffs, the better the record, the lower the ranking of the top four teams, such as the Hornets, they are now desperate to win every remaining game to avoid falling to sixth.

But the Heat and the Bucks, after locking up the playoffs, don't want to win.

No team in the bottom four of the East wants to be sixth in the East!

The Pacers, who would rather fall to seventh and play second in the East, would not want to play third in the East in sixth.

Because the third place in the East is the Nets, they rely on the first place in the division, although the record is not as good as the Pistons, they are still firmly in third place in the East.

On the other hand, in New York, after locking up the playoffs, fans don't want their home team to continue to win to fight for seventh place.

Some Knicks fans want to "revenge" the Hawks, five years ago in the 98-99 season, they had created a magical experience of the eighth in the East all the way to the Finals, and some Knicks die-hard fans, with the confidence of the enigma, feel that their team can do it again.

Most of the people who used public opinion to force the Knicks to stay in eighth place in the East were to watch the excitement and play the Hawks with Liu Mang, for many New York fans, winning or losing is not a problem, and being able to see Liu Mang play at home is the key.

And the Knicks are a magical team, in addition to not being able to put on a bad face when they want to put on a bad face, there is also that they "respect the opinions of fans", and more importantly, their boss James Duo Rot, is also a famous rich second generation in the American financial circle, and the Hawks owner Price is a type of person, James Duo Rotten used to look down on Price, because Price is not the heir of the family, and gave a "waste" distributed by the industry in the "countryside" of New York, but now, Price hugged Liu Mang's thigh and stood up, and also used the team's popularity to help advertise many of the family's industries, and now in their circle, Price has a much better reputation than James Dolan.

People are social animals, there is a characteristic, no matter how few and uneven, although James Dolan looked down on Price in the past, but there were still talks and jokes when they met, but now, Price does not have that kind of temperament, but has become a "successful boss", James Dolan can no longer play with Price, and killing Price's team has become James Dolan's obsession.

Therefore, it also led to Liu Mang's tyrannical 60 points at Madison Square Garden, and the 70-point difference between the Hawks and the NBA record 70 points at Madison Square Garden.

Therefore, in the cries of the fans, James Dolan, who is sure not to fight for seventh place in the East, is to harden the Hawks.

On the Heat's side, the head is not so iron, and it is unlikely that they will compete for fifth place in the East, and they don't want to be sixth, that is, they will lose and fall to seventh, and there is still a little chance to beat the Pacers, play the Nets...... The Eastern Conference playoff titles in the past two years are still very intimidating, second only to the Hawks who have made it to the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years.

In this game, Van Gundy told Wade not to care too much, let go of the play, rest and think when he was tired, give the ball to his teammates, and play how he wanted to play if he had the physical strength.

The Heat completely regarded this game as a game for Wade to adapt to the playoff defense, because although the Hawks played blindly on the offensive end, they still worked very the defensive end.

In the end, the Hawks relied on Liu Mang's 35 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists on 10-of-23 shooting, easily defeating the Heat 103-90 and winning five in a row......

The Pacers beat the Heat in practice to get five consecutive wins, but when it comes to the second game of back-to-back games against the Pacers, it is not so easy, the Pacers are a 59-21 team, which is a team that can be beaten casually, and there are two games left, the Pacers have to play the Hawks first, and then play the Nets to finish, there are two games left, and if you don't do your best, you may not be able to get 60 wins.

Although the Hawks also won 69, tying the all-time second-win record held by the Bulls and Lakers, and wanted to get 70 wins to dominate the second-best win in history, there is still a Grizzly bear behind, and instead of fighting with the Pacers who are red in the eyes for 60 wins, it is better to practice tactics well.

The playoffs are the most important ...... Moreover, there is a sister-in-law waiting for Lin Xing in the back, Rao is Liu Mang, a paranoid guy in his bones, and he would rather be wrecked in his sister-in-law than fight hard with the Pacers, a team like a mad dog for 60 wins.

Facing the league's fourth-largest defensive team, there is still a big difference between the Heat, the tenth defensive player in the league, after a season, the Pacers have reached their peak state, Coach Carlisle's ability to control the rhythm is really powerful, if it weren't for the Hawks in the past two seasons, he wouldn't be so miserable.

Coach Carlisle controls the Pacers, let the Pacers run in step by step, and gradually reach the peak of the state when the playoffs are about to begin, Artest, Little Nier, and Jamal Tinsley The core defensive lineup is too strong! It's hard for the Hawks to get past without playing hard, especially Artest, who has already locked in the best defensive player of the season.

The Hawks only scored 91 points in this game, Liu Mang, as the main attacker, had a dismal shooting rate, hit 15 irons angrily, shot 15 of 25, and scored 31 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and the Hawks lost 91-107 to the Pacers, who wanted to win, and the five-game winning streak was ended.

Lost, always very unhappy, Liu Mang looked at the 69-12 record on the big screen, and sighed secretly, it's not a buddy or a person, it's just that my sister-in-law is too charming!
