Chapter 1069 1068. The harder you work, the more sad you are
The 10-point difference took a certain blow to the morale of the Sonics.
But they still did not give up and continued to work hard on the offensive end.
But a team without defense still has a lot of flaws. Even the Suns have a better defense than the Sonics in the top eight in the West. The Sonics defense is only slightly better than the Grizzlies. They averaged 108 points per game, but lost 103 points per game, the second-lowest net rating among the top eight teams in the West.
After the Eagles strengthened their defense in the third quarter, the Sonics' offensive efficiency began to decline.
As for the Eagles, Liu Mang broke through to score or split the ball, McGrady scored in singles, and continued to maintain efficient scoring.
刘莽第第三节拿到9分3板3助攻，麦迪单节12分, 伊戈达拉拿到4分，约什-史密斯6分，拉希德-华莱士三分球3中1拿到3分，老鹰队单节拿到34分！
The Sonics only scored 25 points!
After three quarters, the Eagles led 99 to 82 by 17 points!
The three core players of the Sonics played the first three quarters, but the point difference was widened by the opponent.
……
"Ace, take a break..." During the last intermission, Coach Kruger wanted to replace Liu Mang. The lead was 17 points. He could let Liu Mang rest for a few minutes. McGrady and Jason Terry both rested for the whole quarter.
"No, coach," Liu Mang immediately refused, before reaching 20 points, "I can create better offensive opportunities by going up, and I don't get tired from playing. You see, I only have 23 points and only made 12 shots. The opponent will definitely not give up. Be careful of being reversed."
Coach Kruger is right to think about it. The opponent played very hard today, which means that his side is very accurate in three-pointers today, making 25 of 12 three-pointers in three quarters.
With the Supersonics making 27 of 13 three-point shots in three quarters, the Eagles made 12 three-pointers in three quarters, held off the opponent's offensive firepower, and then took advantage of the advantage of scoring inside to pull the point difference to 17 points.
However, when Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang's stats, he couldn't help but whisper beside Liu Mang: "23 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists..."
How could Liu Mang not understand what coach Kruger meant?But he really didn't want to get a triple-double today!
Liu Mang felt that he had been "insulted": Is the young master the kind of person who likes to scan data?
……
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eagles took the lead.
The Eagles sent a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.
The Sonics continued to field today's main lineup.
Coach Nate McMillan also wants to win today. If the boss changes, everything will be hard to say. It's hard to say whether he can still be the head coach of this team.
At this time, Coach McMillan was very jealous of Coach Kruger, because there were too many people who could be used by the opponent!And everyone can contribute!
After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Jason Terry.
Jason Terry singled Francis, led by 17 points, started to wave, and faced Francis with a three-point shot...
Iron!
However, Liu Mang rushed inside after giving the ball to Jason Terry. Kwame Brown actively rushed to grab the offensive rebound, forcing Nick Collison to block it. Ray Allen failed to block Liu Mang and was rushed to the inside by Liu Mang.
Liu Mang immediately jumped up high when the ball hit the rim and pushed the ball back to the rim!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang went up and grabbed an offensive rebound, made a tip-up and scored two points...
The big screen at home of the Eagles listed Liu Mang's statistics, 25 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, the ninth triple-double of Liu Mang's career!
Seeing this data, Liu Mang retreated happily.
His points, rebounds, and assists are all the highest in the game today!
19 points difference!
The Sonics continued their point-chasing journey.
In the first half of the fourth quarter, they were still able to maintain their scoring efficiency and tried their best not to let the point difference widen further. But in the third minute of the fourth quarter, coach Kruger saw that the opponent still refused to give up, and the defense was not good. He replaced Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Iguodala, who had done better defense in this game.
In the 8th minute of the fourth quarter, with McGrady's fifth three-pointer of the game, the score reached 31 points, surpassing Liu Mang's 29 points. The score of the two teams became 128 to 103, and the point difference widened to 25 points!
Coach Nate McMillan called a timeout, replaced the main players, and announced his surrender!
The three cores of the Supersonics all played 44 minutes. Ray Allen scored 26 points, Lewis scored 24 points, Francis scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists. They played better efficiency than usual, but they still lost!
Liu Mang played the full 48 minutes, scoring 29 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists, Tracy McGrady 31 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Korver 15 points, Jason Terry 19 points, Kwame Brown 14 points, and the Hawks scored in double figures!
In the end, the Eagles beat the Sonics by 135 to 114, 21 points, avoiding a losing streak!
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Barry Akley, the owner of the Sonics, had already left. He clearly understood the gap between his team and the super teams. He lost 20 points against the Spurs, 30 points against the Mavericks, and lost another 20 points against the Hawks today. Facing the three strongest teams this season, there was no room for resistance.
For the Sonics' despair after the game, Liu Mang could only sympathize with them for three seconds, then excitedly turned on the system and looked at Payton's defensive training card!
……
……
The Hawks beat the Sonics, and 2005 was a perfect ending.
The opening record of 27 wins and 1 loss is the first in history.
Then it will be the middle of the season, and the Eagles are about to start a crazy schedule from January to March.
The huge advantages accumulated in the first two months made Liu Mang feel a little better when he saw the next three months' schedule.
The Hawks coaching staff will also start the three-month rotation plan, and veterans will also participate in the game more. Granger has also been called back from the Development League to start training young players during this period.
On December 12st, the Hawks took a plane at 31 am to Los Angeles and played the Lakers tomorrow.
After experiencing a playoff-like schedule for more than two months, the schedule suddenly became so tight that the Eagles were still a little uncomfortable.
After Liu Mang got up in the morning and took little loli for a run, he ate breakfast, hugged his daughter with one arm, and hugged little loli with the other, watching TV programs with his left and right hugs. After a while, at nine o'clock, he took his family to the airport to meet up with his teammates and head to Los Angeles.
Alexia was packing Liu Mang's large and small bags. After Liu Mang saw that two boxes had been pushed out, Alexia was still packing a large bag of clothes and mourning for Iguodala.
Liu Mang squeezed Avril Lavigne’s face, the baby was too sleepy, and the little Lolita was watching Japanese cartoons introduced during the winter vacation in the United States. In recent years, Japanese animation has become more and more popular. The golden age of Japanese manga was from the 80s to the 90s, and now it’s starting to fade away. However, the cartoons made by those golden age comics have entered another golden decade in the early years of the new century, and people in mainstream countries in the world like their cartoons very much.
Liu Mang began to think about some things. .
"Gary Payton Defensive Training Card: Complete the training goal through multiple training sessions, and advance the oppressive press into a feature: Gloves."
Liu Mang looked at the training details of the training card, it was much more troublesome than attacking!There are a total of 16 training sessions, and each training session is divided into two four-hour sessions, from the judgment of foot movement to the timing of reaching out, from the choice of pressing and the choice of withdrawing the chair...a total of 16 small defensive details.
There is a saying in the NBA that for a scorer who averages 15 points or 20 points per game, seven or eight can be found in the draft a year. Even if it is a young draft year, if you only consider pure scorers, there are not many in a year, but a true defensive master, at most one or two drafts a year.
As for Payton, apart from Jordan, Artest, and Ron Harper, there is no other player in the NBA's 60-year history, not even in ten years.
It's really difficult to become a superstar who combines offense and defense!
However, Liu Mang is still full of motivation. If he can raise his defense to the level of the real All-Defensive Team, then counting his defense, will his performance have the possibility of breaking the [-] in the system evaluation?
As for defending against this training card, we can only wait until the Lakers are finished, and practice shooting first to maintain the touch.
Liu Mang deeply felt the disadvantage of a low starting point, but it also gave him motivation. If the starting point is low, just work harder!
……
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon on December 12, the Eagles arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. When they arrived at the airport, they already felt the frenzy of Los Angeles.
Mainly...there are too many Chinese fans!
This time it is a "Chinese Derby" of the same strength in the true sense, which has brought endless reverie to Chinese fans.
Iguodala was carrying a big bag and his own small bag on his chest. He dragged two huge suitcases, and went to Liu Mang's room to store things.
On Liu Mang's side, he was waiting in the parking lot with his parents, three girls, two babies, a bodyguard and a Filipino maid.
After a while, Kobe arrived in a nine-seater business car.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, Levia, Aida, hello, and Dinah..." Kobe ignored Liu Mang, and greeted Little Lolita with high fives, "I'll help you put your things up there, you guys get in the car first..."
"You, help!" Kobe didn't even call Liu Mang's name, and he still hated the back-to-back singles.
Liu Mang didn't take it too seriously. Kobe Bryant bought another villa in Beverly Hills. The previous villa was vacant and he used it when receiving guests. Liu Mang called. Although Kobe was unhappy, he still respected Liu Mang's family. He couldn't lose his etiquette.
Looking at Liu Mang, Kobe became angrier as he thought about it!
In which life did I have a bloody misfortune, and I would know this bastard!
