Chapter 1054 1053. The 25th Opponent
The pace of the game became very fast due to the Kings speeding up a few times and the Eagles' defensive counterattack. McGrady scored a three-pointer, and the replay of the TV screen showed the replay of McGrady's second defense against Martin just now.
Don't play the offensive replay, but play the defensive replay, which shows how special this defense is!
I saw McGrady pretending to raise his hands in the picture, and suddenly put his hands behind his back, and then Martin almost lost his center of gravity because he missed McGrady's hand.
Fortunately, although Martin's overall strength is poor, his core strength is good. He threw the ball, but he was still blocked by McGrady.
In the original time and space, McGrady's defense has deteriorated, mainly due to injuries, excessive consumption on the offensive end, and because the time spent on the defensive end has decreased, the defense has further declined, forming a vicious circle.
This defense, McGrady and Prince have studied for a long time how to deal with Liu Wei in training, Liu Wei is getting more and more difficult to deal with, did not expect to use it on the opponent.
Maddie and Prince were working on this for fun, and now they have a use for it!
Next, Martin's worst day began.
There is still a big gap between the current Martin and the one who averaged 20+ per game for seven years in the next ten years. There are three main offensive methods, relying on height, leg length and speed to break through;
But McGrady just happens to be able to restrain Martin. McGrady is taller than Martin, and his speed is comparable. Coupled with McGrady's dedicated defense and a stronger body than Martin, Martin's current conventional offensive methods are firmly restrained by McGrady!
As for Martin's other trick, the foul-making method learned from watching Liu Mang's game obviously cannot be compared with Liu Mang's genuine foul-making method.
The main reason is that the scoring threat is too bad. Martin's current mid-range shot is only 30.00% and he can make a shot, but it is still far behind as a conventional offensive method. McGrady chose to interfere after Martin made an emergency stop to take off. Martin is good at scoring.
McGrady spared no effort to focus on the defensive end and locked Martin to death!
上半场马丁8投1中，罚球2中2，8次出手仅仅拿到4分！
On McGrady's side, in addition to the defensive end, he also went crazy on the offensive end. He played 19 minutes in the first half, made 7 of 4 three-pointers, 13 of 8 shots, 8 of 5 free throws, and scored 25 points in the half!
Martin played 13 minutes in the first half. Unfortunately, when he was on the court, he always played against McGrady. In the main rotation of the Kings, Martin was the only one who could play against McGrady. Peja's defensive enthusiasm was too poor.
McGrady beats Martin on both offense and defense!
It was too easy for Liu Mang to get an assist today, McGrady made an air cut, Liu Mang passed the ball to McGrady, and McGrady shot directly.
McGrady asked for the ball from beyond the three-point line, Liu Mang passed it, and McGrady shot directly.
McGrady's style of play is very simple. He catches the ball and throws it to the basket without dribbling. He uses the simplest method to throw the ball. With his height and wingspan, he has a strong jumping strength. McGrady has advantages against Martin and Francisco Garcia who came off the bench.
In the half game, Liu Mang played 21 minutes, and only on McGrady, Liu Mang got 5 assists.
And not only McGrady added assists to Liu Mang, but Jason Terry, Korver, and David Lee who came off the bench also threw the ball as soon as they received it. That is to say, Iguodala and Josh Smith were not so eager to score. After grabbing a rebound or receiving a pass from Liu Mang, the first consideration was to send the ball to a more suitable teammate.
Liu Mang scored 9 points and 11 assists in the first half!
This is the first time that Liu Mang has more assists than points!
Originally, the expectations of the Kings players for Martin were another Liu Mang.
Because the style of play is very similar, they are all counterattack players, and even their slender figures are very similar.
but……
The reality is cruel, Martin's cleverness angered Maddy, and then met Maddy's crazy revenge!
Liu Mang 9 points, McGrady 25 points, Jason Terry 8 points, Korver 6 points, Kwame Brown 12 points, Barry 3 points, Iguodala 3 points, Josh Smith 2 points, Mourning 6 points, the Hawks scored 74 points in the first half!
As for the Kings, they were fast, but they played poorly. In the first half, they made 45 of 18 shots and scored 45 points!
The Eagles almost led by 30 points at halftime!
Coach Kruger is very satisfied with Liu Mang's style of play in the first half. The Eagles had a total of 21 assists in the first half!Liu Mang shared the ball when he was double-teamed. He didn't stick to the ball. After Liu Mang passed the ball, in order to get an easy shot for himself, he could also disrupt the Kings' poor defense when running, making the Eagles pass the ball very smoothly.
It's just that Liu Mang was a little bit stuck, and scored 9 points in the half... How long has it been like this.
In the third quarter, Adelman continued to put Martin on the field. He didn't have any idea of protecting the young man's self-confidence.
Adelman didn't want to lose face so badly, and continued to send the main players in the second half.
Liu Mang thought that he would not score in double figures in a single game for the first time in three years. Unexpectedly, the opponent was 29 points behind and still refused to surrender. After playing for 2 minutes in the third quarter, coach Kruger sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Josh Smith and Kwame Brown to the lineup again.
After Liu Mang came on the court, he made an unexpected three-point shot from beyond the three-point line...it didn't go in...
But Josh Smith grabs the offensive rebound!
After Liu Mang threw the ball, he rushed towards the basket. The Kings ignored him at this time. Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line. Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebound and threw it towards Liu Mang before it landed.
And then...Martin's time of misery continues...
Next, Liu Mang continued to pass the ball, McGrady did not shoot so much offensively, and shared the ball with his teammates, focusing on defending Martin and passing the ball after receiving Liu Mang's pass.
Because Adelman wants to use the main force to narrow the point difference, but the Kings are not a strong team now, but their reputation is still there. Coach Kruger is worried that it will be bad if it is reversed or the point difference is narrowed to a crisis moment, so he replaced today's main force.
So after three quarters, the Eagles were 109 to 66, leading the Kings by 43 points!
McGrady felt bored after playing. At the beginning, he saw Martin playing like Liu Mang, and he was full of interest in Martin. But in the third quarter, after Martin took a few shots, he didn't dare to catch the ball. The more McGrady played, the more he felt bored.
After three quarters, when Martin was about to leave the game with a sad face, McGrady said to Martin: "You are really weak, come on."
Martin wants to cry!
三节13中2，罚球2中2拿到6分，是他这个赛季以来最差的表现。
Martin didn't dare to talk to McGrady anymore, he was crushed the whole time!
Seeing that McGrady was still bullying Martin, Liu Mang went up and patted Martin on the shoulder: "Second graders, come on, I like you!"
Martin immediately revealed the ecstasy of Nash being selected by the NBA, and his smile was exactly the same as that of Nash when he was selected...
In the end, the Eagles 131 to 90 and slaughtered the Kings by 41 points.
Liu Mang scored 7 points in the third quarter, 15 points, 15 assists and 3 rebounds, Tracy McGrady 35 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, Jason Terry 28 points, Kwame Brown 26 points, and the Eagles scored 33 assists. The whole team worked hard and defeated the Kings!
……
With 19 consecutive victories, the Eagles once again tied the fourth longest winning streak in history.
Before the 19 consecutive victories, there are only three consecutive victories, the Lakers' 33 consecutive victories, the Eagles' own 22 consecutive victories, and the Bucks' 20 consecutive victories.
Originally, people expected to see Liu Mang's high score again in the Eagles' game against the Kings, but Liu Mang only scored 15 points, but McGrady was crazily abused after being fouled by Martin, which became the main news after the game.
McGrady also has the mentality of revenge, his fans are going to cry, being led to ruin by someone!
On the other hand, in the Lakers-Warriors game played at the same time, Kobe did not get excited, and also encountered the same crazy double-teaming as Liu Mang. He only scored 21 points and 9 assists, but had 7 steals and 2 blocks. The Lakers also ushered in a 6-game winning streak, but Yao Ming scored 43 points, setting a new career high.
The Warriors also frantically prevented Kobe from scoring, and suffered a big defeat. The Lakers beat the Warriors by 124 points 72 to 52, setting a record for the biggest point difference this season.
Compared to the fact that the Hawks relaxed their defense in the third quarter and let the lineup of Calderon, Barry, Korver, David Lee, and Mourning go up to waste time, saving face for the opponent, allowing the Kings to score 34 points in the final quarter, at least they raised the score to 90 points. The Lakers had Kobe staring at them.
Liu Mang saw the performance of Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant, saw Jason Richardson who was defended by Kobe with only 8 points, and Martin who only scored 6 points, and crazily complained about the two cheapskates.
……
……
After 19 consecutive victories, the Eagles continued their road trip and came to Oakland to challenge the Warriors away.
The Warriors are so desperate...
Just got hammered by the Lakers, and met the Eagles again...
The Warriors are still trying to save character.
An easy victory without bloodshed.
The Eagles are 101 to 82, easily winning 20 consecutive victories.
Although Liu Mang only scored 90 points in the second game after scoring 15 points, the opponent is still afraid!
The player who scored 100 points in a single game is a legend of the Warriors, and he got it when their team was playing, so they strictly guarded against Kobe and Liu Mang, double-teamed frantically, and didn't even care about their own scores.
Liu Mang scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists. The assists were too easy!
This was unexpected. The Eagles did not expect that Liu Mangbiao made it easy for his team to play the next few games.
After tying the third-longest winning streak in history with 20 consecutive victories, the Eagles' winning streak continues.
On December 12, the Eagles first arrived in Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers.
Portland is also one of the teams that hates Liu Mang. Liu Mang shot more in this game. He made 22 shots in the game, but only made 7 of them, mainly from the outside. He made 15 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, and there were only a bunch of people inside.
最终刘莽全场打了38分钟，22投7中，三分15中6，罚球11中9，拿到29分4板13助攻，带领老鹰队以105比91，没有多大困难的战胜了兰多夫带领的开拓者。
On December 12th, the Eagles returned to play against the Wizards back to back at home. This time, Liu Mang scored a little more. He scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in 33 of 5. The Wizards' defense against him was fouls and fouls.
120 to 107, the Eagles continued their winning streak, tying their own team's 22 consecutive victories!
On December 12th, the Eagles ushered in the Rockets without Yao Ming at home. Liu Mang scored 19 points, 22 rebounds and 4 assists. The Eagles won 14-98 easily. The Rockets were still very good defensively, but their offense was worse than before.
Bynum, the current core of the Rockets, has just turned 18 after the start of the season, and now he is only 18 years old and more than a month old. His performance is good. Compared with the Lakers who were not focused on training at the beginning and needed to play as Kwame Brown’s substitute, the Rockets can only train him eagerly. Bynum played 27 games in the first 19 games, averaging 22 minutes per game, scoring 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, which is quite a good performance.
But Bynum didn't play back to back. He was too young to fully develop.
But in terms of talent, Bynum is very talented, but his mentality is too poor. He also came to Atlanta with the team. When Liu Mang saw McGrady dunking Luther Hyde, Bynum actually laughed!
Without Kobe's pressure, Bynum let himself go at the beginning of his career...
……
23 consecutive victories!The Eagles came to Charlotte on December 12 to challenge the Bobcats away.
Jordan didn't receive Liu Mang this time, and he didn't come to the game.
The Bobcats are now at the bottom of the league.
Felton is still the same, every game is very early, three or four rebounds, five or six assists, did not play the expected role in leading the team to turn around.
Chris Paul of the Hornets led the Hornets out of the abyss in his rookie year. His winning percentage was close to 14%. His record of 15 wins and [-] losses was quite impressive, and he was the best rookie.
With the passage of time, Liu Mang's enthusiasm for scoring 90 points gradually dissipated, and his opponents also believed that he had no intention of scoring more points. The Bobcats became the first to eat crabs, and Coach Bickerstaff used his normal offense and defense to fight against the Eagles.
The Eagles played a little more difficult this time. After the 23-game winning streak, the players' mentality has relaxed, and they have surpassed their own record of 22 consecutive victories. The 33-game winning streak is so long, and there is no emotion to chase.
刘莽这场比赛31投14中，狂砍41分8板7助攻，帮助老鹰队96比88，有惊无险的击败了山猫队。
The Bobcats have nothing to say about defense, but because the point guard really doesn't have the strength to lead a team to transform, the offensive end of the Bobcats basically relies on personal ability. This season, the Bobcats averaged only 92 points per game, the lowest in the league.
With Liu Mang's fourth 40+ performance of the season, the Eagles won 24 consecutive victories!
……
……
"Mom, you don't need to bring so many things, the rented house has everything! If you don't have any, let Levia take you and dad out to buy." Liu Mang looked at his mother wanting to take everything.
"Buy everything, save money, you know? If you buy another one of these things, it will be repeated. We will come back after only staying for a few days, and I will take it with me!" Liu Mang's mother retorted.
"Okay, okay, you can bring it... Avril, dad is here..." Liu Mang watched Alexia come out with his daughter in his arms, and immediately rushed over, "My cutest baby, you go to Phoenix first, after two days Dad finishes training, come with the team..."
Alexia was so helpless, she looked at the father-in-law who was hugging her son with a helpless face, and then looked at the son who was staring at Liu Mang with big eyes, wondering what this guy meant, and mourned for her son for two seconds...
But Alexia felt that her daughter was indeed more obedient. Liu Hao was too skinny. She was only two months old, and she tossed and turned full of energy. She was healthier and stronger than ordinary children. She would cry when she disagreed with her. My daughter should be more obedient. Although she also loves to move around...but she is cute.
Alexia can only comfort herself: Chinese children, Chinese people are stricter on boys since childhood...
On the morning of December 12, Liu Mang's family loaded their things into the car. Liu Mang and Levia drove a car alone. The whole family, bodyguards, two servants and a masseuse James sent to give him massages went to Phoenix together.
On December 12th, the Eagles' 25th game, the away game against the Suns was also a Christmas game. The NBA has only two Christmas games this season. The Eagles played away against the Suns, and the Heat played away against the Lakers.
The reason both the Eagles and the Heat are away is time.
Not just the Christmas game, the China Derby between the Eagles and the Lakers on January 1 is also an away game for the Eagles.
The main reason is that the Eagles are in the East, and the game starts too early for the Chinese, so the game is arranged at the home courts of the Suns and Lakers.
This is Liu Mang's first Christmas away game.
After the Bobcats won 21 consecutive victories on the 24st, they returned to Atlanta on the 22nd. Coach Kruger announced that he could bring his family to Phoenix this time. The Eagles have played the Christmas game for the fourth consecutive year.
24 consecutive victories!
During this period, the Eagles made a lot of money, the billboards on the sidelines became more expensive every game, and Price made another big profit.
Liu Mang took his family to the airport to gather with his teammates. The Eagles chartered a large charter flight this time, and the families of all the players on the team can go to Phoenix together.
……
"Thank you, Steve, how much is the rent? Are these tableware and bedding newly bought? I'll give it to you together." Liu Mang said to Nash.
After arriving in Phoenix, Liu Mang didn’t live in a hotel. It was inconvenient to stay in a hotel with a baby. He asked Nash to help him rent a villa near Nash’s place in advance. It was a holiday villa specially used for renting out, with complete appliances. Nash also bought a full set of kitchen utensils, quilt slippers, bath towels and other things. Liu Mang’s family can just move in with their luggage.
In addition, Nash also bought gifts for Liu Mang's two children and Liu Mang's parents. He was quite polite, which made Liu Mang feel embarrassed.
"No need for Ace, we don't have to be so polite, the landlord is my friend, he didn't charge much, and these things are not worth much, so let me entertain you!" Nash said angrily.
"Okay then, next time you come to Atlanta, I'll treat you well!" Liu Mang said, patting his chest.
"Treat me well..." Nash gave Liu Mang a blank look.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Nash saw that Liu Mang's family was still busy packing their things, so he left first. The Suns still have a game tonight, so Nash rented a stretched Lincoln to pick up Liu Mang's family at the airport, and went back to prepare for the game tonight.
The West is very chaotic. If the Suns lose one more game, they may be beaten to fifth place by the Lakers.
After Nash left, Liu Mang was free and fine. When the two girls were always there, they were too diligent. They didn't need Liu Mang's help. Liu Mang held the ball. This villa also has an outdoor court. Liu Mang took the little girl to practice shooting together.
It's the Christmas game, with 24 consecutive victories, but now there is one thing that makes Liu Mang a little worried, that is, the too long winning streak makes his team feel a little "tired of winning".
