Coach Sloan never expected that he wanted to block Liu Mang from scoring, but made Liu Mang the "assist king"!

Is this still the "atypical point guard" who has dropped to 2.9 assists per game?

After the start of the second quarter of the game, the Jazz really had no choice but to start blocking the pitchers, and the Hawks were going crazy to shoot three-pointers!

Coach Kruger didn't expect his own team to be so accurate in three points today! Usually throwing twelve or thirteen three-pointers in a game is the limit, and in games that can score ten three-pointers, except for the Suns, the others have all won, and today they scored 7 three-pointers in a single quarter!

Coach Kruger's tactics were determined in the second quarter, and Liu Mang added two pitchers plus a standing center and a physical interior lineup to play.

In the second quarter, Liu Mang found that the opponent did not dare to wrap the ball, and immediately began to shoot in a singles mode, and after the opponent began to wrap the clip, he began to pass the ball.

Liu Mang got 13 points and 4 assists in the second quarter, 7 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, and 6 points and 2 assists in the fourth quarter.

The Jazz team can still rely on Boozer, Kirilenko to score and pass in the first three quarters, and Haplin's singles to maintain the difference within 15 points, the Jazz team started in addition to the point guard strength is very strong, and the third quarter did not completely collapse, but in the first half of the fourth quarter, although Liu Mang only got 4 points and 2 assists, Jason Terry scored two catch-and-shoot three-pointers, and also singled a three-pointer, the Hawks scored 18 points in the last half of the quarter, and the main force of the Jazz team almost did not rest, couldn't hold back, and completely collapsed, He scored only seven points in the first quarter.

The Eagles stretched the score to 119-95 in one fell swoop, extending the margin to 24 points!

Coach Sloan reluctantly replaced all the main lineup and announced his surrender.

wanted to use Liu Mang to rebuild the team's confidence, but failed!

Although Boozer scored 33 points, 9 boards and 6 assists, Kirilenko got 15 points, 6 boards, 5 assists and 5 blocks, Oku got 22 points and 4 boards, Halprin scored 18 points, and Raul Lopez, who came off the bench, scored 18 points, and the Jazz scored double-doubles for the first time this season, but relying on Liu Mang's 31 points, 24 assists and 6 rebounds, breaking the team history record of 17 three-pointers in a single game, the Hawks beat the Jazz with a score difference of 131 to 110 and 21 points!

Liu Mang won the third double-20 in his career, and at the same time improved his single-game assist record in Hawks team history by 3, from 21 to 24!

"Ding...... Complete the Rogue Rage mission and reward 10,000 Superstar Points. ”

At the end of the game, after sitting on the sidelines and watching Calderon take the first- and second-year lineups to play garbage time, the referee blew the final whistle, Liu Mang's task of 10,000 superstar values was completed, plus today's data explosion, he got more than 2,300 superstar values, and the superstar values of replenishing the reserve potions before the game were earned!

"If you want to use the master as a stepping stone, you will beat it once next time!"

……

Liu Mang got brutal data for two consecutive games, but ...... The direction is completely different!

In the last game, he was a scoring maniac, but in the second game, he became a master of passing!

People said that they really couldn't guess Liu Mang!

What kind of data Liu Mang typed, people now seem to think it is acceptable.

There were 60 points in the third quarter, and there was a performance that was almost thirty or twenty.

Moreover, now people's attention is not on Liu Mang's data and the Hawks' win, in the eyes of fans, it is natural for the Eagles to win the Jazz, and this game is not broadcast live, fans just see the data, and they don't see why Liu Mang has changed from a scoring maniac to a member of the "refusal to vote" combination, and even many fans have not noticed that the Eagles have taken turns to rest so many people, after all, a game in the league that is the first to play the third to last in the league, just look at the results.

31 points is less than the average score of the past two years for Liu Mang, so people feel that Liu Mang has become a member of the "refusal" group today.

31 points, 24 assists, 6 rebounds and 5 turnovers, mainly 24 assists and 5 turnovers, an assist-to-turnover ratio close to 5 to 1, and the Hawks' 17 three-pointers in a single game set a new head-to-head record, and suddenly the Hawks won 14 in a row, becoming the most discussed by fans.

And the discussion is not about this game, but about the next game of the Hawks against the Suns!

Not many people noticed that the Hawks had won 14 in a row, and the Hawks were about to play the Suns, and the major TV stations vigorously promoted the game between the Hawks and the Suns on the morning of the game, and of course they had to publicize the strong performance of the two teams.

Only then did people find out that the Eagles had won 14 in a row before they knew when!

At this time, some people began to wonder if the Hawks could set an eighth championship winning streak of at least 18 consecutive wins in the NBA.

The Hawks have won 14 in a row, 51-7, and the Suns have won 9 in a row, 49-9, and there is not much difference between the two teams' records.

The last time the Hawks lost to the Suns in a scoring battle, Liu Mang and Maddy both cut brutal statistics in that game, but they still lost to the Suns.

Will anything change this time?

Especially Liu Mang performed brutally in two consecutive games before the game with the Suns, and showed his scoring ability and the power of breaking through the ball, the Hawks also broke the three-point record in team history, the pitchers are in good shape, and they are about to face off against the Suns.

……

……

On the night of the Jazz game, the Hawks flew on a charter flight to the hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, next door, where the team had opened their rooms for two days.

California, Arizona, and Utah are next to each other, which is the league's most important place for the Hawks in five days and four games, and the away flight time is at most half an hour.

In fact, the league has arranged a tight schedule for the Hawks during this time, but it has been taking care of it, and the most interesting game of this month was to play the Timberwolves, Heat, and Mavericks three games, who knew that the Timberwolves collapsed, and the Heat took a rest, but it was the game between the SuperSonics and the Suns that was the most interesting.

Otherwise, this five-day four-game team is the top five teams in the West last season, although it is four games in five days, and the weak team may have to lose one or two games without Liu Mang's individual unlimited core, but it is already the biggest preferential treatment given by the league.

slept until eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang got up, preparing for tonight's game, this time the Eagles stayed in the hotel with an indoor basketball court, which was wrapped up by the Eagles, Liu Mang ran to practice shooting in the morning.

After practicing for a while, Maddie and Rasheed Wallace, who had been resting for a few days, also came to practice shooting, and yesterday played the first game of a back-to-back, and the other players were still sleeping lazily and recovering their strength.

The shortcomings of first- and second-year players are very inconsistent, Korver had two three-pointers in the first quarter yesterday and one in the second three quarters, or Jason Terry and veteran Persson were more stable, Jason Terry threw in five threes, Persson threw in four threes and a catch-and-go layup, and scored 14 points in his first appearance for the Hawks, Calderon threw in two, and Iguodala threw in one.

But the advantage of the first and second year players is that they are young, and they recover their strength when they sleep.

The Hawks are as prepared as possible to play the Suns, but the Suns are now having some headaches, how to deal with the Hawks?

Liu Mang has played too irritable in these games, originally, Liu Mang only scored, Maddie passed, but when Maddie rested, Liu Mang actually played 24 assists in a single game!

Although the Suns are not defending and are not interested in defense, they have to win and score more points than their opponents!

Most fans don't care about the age of the players, they don't care about injuries, they spray if they don't play well, and they blow to death if they play well, but the players are different from the head coach, the four starters of the Hawks came to Phoenix in advance They know that they rested in the hotel for two days, the four starters of the Hawks have sufficient physical fitness, and Liu Mang's physical fitness is notoriously good, even the previous Kobe Bryant and Iverson are slightly inferior.

Now that the Hawks' outside pitchers are in good shape, and the Hawks' main team is resting so well, the key is that the Hawks still have a strong sense of revenge, and the team that has won them in the past two years has been retaliated against.

D'Antoni and Nash, who obviously won one game first, now feel that their side is at a psychological disadvantage!

But fortunately, the young players don't have this kind of pressure, which is where the two cores of the Suns, D'Antoni and Nash, feel at ease, the core lineup of the Suns is younger than the Hawks, and the counterattack has now become a real strong team in the minds of fans and the media, and the young players are fearless.

……

The preparation time was too short, Liu Mang felt that it was last night's game when he closed his eyes, and as soon as he opened his eyes, it was time for the pre-game interview and warm-up training with the Suns.

After the afternoon of tactical training, he has been watching video clips of the Suns' recent games, and the offensive firepower is still so ferocious.

The Hawks have also scored a lot of high points recently, averaging 110.3 points per game, and the Suns are still in first place in the league with 110.6 points.

Maddy is averaging 11.7 assists per game and Nash is averaging 11.9 assists per game.

It's the MVP rankings, today is Monday, the MVP rankings just updated, Nash was pulled down from the first position in the MVP rankings for the first time this season, and Liu Mang relied on 14 consecutive wins and two consecutive brutal performances to rank first in the MVP rankings for the first time.

After the warm-up, it was time to get in, and I looked at the two missions about the Suns, mainly about Nash.

"Season Goal: Prologue to the Run-and-Bomb Era: The host needs to lead the development of offensive basketball, Mission Goal 1: The team of the host in the regular season needs to get the first place in the NBA average points per game ranking, and the mission reward: 50,000 superstar points; 2. Get the regular season MVP, task reward: Steve Nash's peak star card; 3. The host's team needs someone to get the assist king, and the task reward: 1 high-level superstar value lottery. ”

The three mission goals of this task are all working hard, originally Liu Mang thought that it was the most difficult to grab the assist king and the team's score to surpass the Suns, but now he found that the MVP is the most difficult, Nash to the Suns, the Suns have no other reinforcements, directly from the bottom three in the West last season to the top three in the league, such a record improvement, so that Nash's first MVP is a beep!

Liu Mang has no other way than to keep improving his average points per game to compete.

However, the assist king and the team's average points per game are almost completed, Maddie's pass is accurate, and the Hawks have many scorers, mainly because of Liu Mang's pass, it is possible to get assists, Nash's average assists per game began to decline by the middle of the season, and Maddie increased with Liu Mang's average points per game.

This task is the goal of the season, and the other is the mission of the current game.

A task that Liu Mang desperately wants to complete!

"MVP battle: The host needs to beat Steve Nash's team in their next game against Steve Nash's Suns. Reward: 1 Endurance Fruit. Failure Penalty: -3 stamina. ”

There are too many things involved in this game, if you lose to Nash twice in the head-to-head match, it will be like the original time and space in 2008, Chris Paul was closest to MVP, Kobe and Paul fought for MVP for the whole season, but when the regular season was about to end, Kobe and Paul played each other for the last time in the regular season that season, Kobe Bryant only shot Paul 30 percent, and Paul was prevented from three-point shooting space. And Kobe Bryant hit Paul with a 53 percent shooting rate and a 43 percent three-point shooting rate, and got a quasi-triple-double of 29 + 10 + 8 to beat Paul head-on, which completely made the MVP suddenly no suspense.

If Liu Mang loses both games with the Suns, the MVP is basically no play, in the case of Nash's "one-handed" improvement of the Suns' record so much, even if the Hawks win 70 wins again, it is estimated that it will be no play, not to mention that the Hawks will not fight for the regular season this season, and the Hawks will not fight for the regular season with a few players who stayed in the team last season, and they played so many games last season, and it will be miserable if they don't have a good rest this season and the playoffs are not in good shape.

Therefore, Liu Mang must win this game!

It's too difficult to even Zhuang MVP, if there are no opponents, it's okay, like James in 2010 and 2013, Curry in 2016, no one can compete with them for MVP, so Lianzhuang MVP is relatively easy.

But with Nash in front of him, the difficulty is different.

Only a win over Nash in this game can keep the hope of consecutive MVPs alive.

Moreover, playing the Suns was originally a game that made Liu Mang very excited!

Liu Mang's desperate posture easily drove these teammates who had been playing together for almost a season, not to mention the old teammates, just follow Liu Mang.

At 7:15 p.m., the Eagles entered the West Stadium, and there were fifteen minutes to go, and the game was about to start with the broadcast of the two major American television stations in the United States, ESPN Taiwan and Japan in Asia, and the Imperial Court and Europe also broadcast live from four or five countries.

The world's attention to the competition!

The Hawks were greeted by Suns fans when they entered the stadium, and the audience booed.

After the Suns players came out, Liu Mang and Nash came to the technical table and shook hands, both of them full of fighting spirit.

Nash wants to completely lock up the MVP, it is every player's dream to win the MVP and the championship, the MVP is just around the corner, and Nash has no reason not to take it.

Liu Mang wants to create a little life for his second MVP.

The two didn't communicate much, said hello, and each went back to their own half to start the work of the last shooting hot hand before the game.

The Great War is imminent!
