35+ triple-doubles to welcome their comeback?

This is really grand, so grand that Liu Mang feels very angry!

him! him! Kill him!

This damn squint, I actually learned to pretend to be forced! Can't you brush data in the bad team?

Liu Mang was practicing three points at Phillips Arena when he saw Jason Terry coming.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry glanced at each other, everything was silent, said hello, without too much communication, after Jason Terry went to change into training clothes, the two started 1-on-1 practice.

The No. 7 Hawks are traveling to Orlando for their third meeting of the season against the Magic.

On the morning of the 4th, the morning after being killed by the Magic, several of the main players of the Eagles spontaneously came to Phillips Arena for training.

Originally, the Eagles coaching staff planned for the players to have a day off after back-to-back games, start training tomorrow, and go to Orlando the day after tomorrow to play the Magic at No. 7.

Liu Mang came to the Phillips Arena at 8 o'clock in the morning and trained for a while, and most of his teammates came one after another.

After the Hawks players lost to the Magic, they were very unhappy, if it was just a simple two-game losing streak, it would be acceptable, and it was not that there were no two consecutive defeats, but Maddy's words made the Hawks players feel angry!

They were very angry, Maddie took advantage of the ban on his side of the core, and actually pretended to be so forced!

The Eagles players all spontaneously came to the Phillips Arena to practice, and saw that their familiar teammates also came to the stadium early to practice, and they all tacitly changed into training clothes and trained, without too many words, everything was silent.

Even Rasheed Wallace, who still has an eight-game ban and will not return until the next home game against the Rockets, has come to train with his teammates, and being a sparring partner is also a good way to maintain his form, and is doing one-on-one offensive and defensive training with Boozer.

Everyone is preparing for the No. 7 vs. Magic game.

……

The Eagles' loss to the Magic was indeed a big upset, and it seemed that even if Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace couldn't play, the Eagles shouldn't lose to the Magic.

But this sets off the importance of Liu Mang to the Eagles!

and Maddie's provocation of Liu Mang, obviously wanting to start the battle for the scoring champion, which makes the fans who have entered the middle of the season and feel more and more that the long season is boring again!

The battle for the top scorer is always so exciting.

The last time there was a battle for the scoring title, it was ten years ago, the first year after Jordan retired, the sophomore O'Neal and the league's top super center David Robinson fought for the scoring title until the last battle, David Robinson slashed 71 points before reversing O'Neal to win the scoring title.

It's interesting that one of the two people in this scoring title battle is a Magic player, which is very interesting, the last time the Magic player did this kind of thing, he left after playing for the Magic team for four years.

Coincidentally, Maddie is now in her fourth season, and because she started so badly, she lost 19 games in a row and has already requested a trade.

Therefore, Maddie's provocation of the scoring champion this time has given fans of the league a lot of things to discuss, of course, as long as it is about the attribution of the scoring champion.

Now there are only Maddie and Liu Mang who average more than 25 points per game in the league, and Peja, who averages the highest score per game among others, is only more than 24 points and less than 25 points.

Fans originally entered January, and their desire to watch the game was no longer high, but now the major forums on the Internet are reactive, discussing whether Maddie and Liu Mang will start a battle for the scoring title, and who has a higher chance of winning.

Obviously, Maddie plays in a bad team, regardless of the record, the goal of the Magic team is also bad, and the Magic team management doesn't know what to think, after Maddie applied for a trade, the Magic team management not only appeased Maddie, but actually began to peddle Maddie, their team's only superstar, so that the Magic team will definitely give the ball to Maddie, so that Maddie can play good data and sell it for a good price.

Therefore, in the battle for the scoring title won by Maddie, people are more optimistic about him.

Liu Mang's side, must be mainly based on the team's record as the first goal, and he has already shouted out that he wants to surpass the 67 wins of the Lakers in 2000, and now because he has not lost two games because of his ban, the Hawks' record has become 27-7, that is, 41 games out of 48 games.

Therefore, there is a key point in whether the battle for the scoring champion can appear, that is, whether Liu Mang will accept this competition for the scoring champion!

……

……

The Eagles, for their part, ignored the heated talk from the outside world and refused to be interviewed, not wanting to answer questions related to the matter, after the Eagles players trained spontaneously yesterday, they started team training today.

Liu Mang can play, for the Hawks there is a backbone, because the Hawks' tactics are all around Liu Mang, in the league is still popular single-core or dual-core in this era, even if the Lakers have the so-called Big Four, in fact, it still revolves around Kobe and O'Neal, the Spurs have a troika, and it also revolves around Duncan, if the Lakers remove Kobe O'Neal and the Spurs remove Duncan, the two teams are estimated to have to fight for the championship.

This is also the key to the Eagles' first two losses, it's not that others can't do it, it's just that the team is completely around Liu Mang, and this year it is completely strictly implemented this style of play.

After the afternoon team training, the Eagles players were ready to take a shower and go home to rest, Jason Terry, who used to go out with his wife to steal food in the past two days, did not take Barnes and Rashid Wallace out to wave, and he had a good rest after training, at least after killing the Magic team, he was in the mood to wave.

After Liu Mang finished training, he took a shower first, hesitated in the locker room and did not leave, thinking about a problem.

Jason Terry came out of the shower, changed his clothes, saw Liu Mang's entangled face, and asked, "Ace, why don't you go back?" Do you still need to practice? ”

Liu Mang shook his head and replied: "No, the training is not bad for these few hours, we have practiced almost, there is no problem in winning the Magic team, I am thinking, do I want to accept Tracy's challenge." ”

The Eagles players actually have a good relationship with Maddie, mainly because Liu Mang has a good relationship with Maddie, so when calling Maddie, most of the Eagles players are directly called by their names.

Of course, this does not affect the Eagles' next thoughts about the crazy output of the Magic team and Maddie, revenge, and they must retaliate!

"Ace, are you struggling with this?" Jason Terry asked curiously.

"yes, I don't know if I'm going to compete for this scoring title this year." The most critical point discussed by the fans, that is, whether the battle for the scoring champion will appear this time, is also what Liu Mang is very entangled with now.

This task does not have to be completed from this season, and it does not have to start challenging Maddie this season, this task will not fail, but it may not be completed.

Liu Mang originally chose to start the battle for the scoring king this season, mainly because the timing of these two years is too good, the scoring champion of these two years is not very perverted, you can try it yourself, otherwise it will be difficult for O'Neill to go west after the blacksmith opens the road to surpass the first iron king in history, and it will be difficult in 06 and 07.

The little blacksmith in those two years, the score was simply invincible, and in 06 Iverson wanted to compete with him for the scoring title, he directly soared his average points per game to 35+, except for Jordan, no one in modern basketball can compete with him at all.

This is a monster that can score 81 points in modern basketball and still have a few minutes to play.

In 07, although the little blacksmith averaged only 31 points per game, it was because in 06 he had already subdued the entire league, and no one dared to compete with him for the scoring title.

O'Neal's departure is a foregone conclusion, after he completed a dunk while playing at home a while ago, he yelled at the owner Jerry Buss on the sidelines for 80 million, and when Liu Mang saw the news, he was sure that O'Neal's departure was a matter of time.

Therefore, Liu Mang was originally very determined, and his plan was to take advantage of Kobe Bryant's take-off in terms of personal data, to win two scoring titles this season and next season, and to get the fourth talent skill fragment in his hands, and only need to wait until he suppresses his contemporaries to have the opportunity to open the second talent skill.

If it is not achieved this year, after Kobe Bryant starts to play normally after O'Neal leaves, and then wants to win the scoring title, it will have to wait until the 07-08 season, and no one can say what will happen at that time.

Therefore, now Liu Mang is very entangled, whether to fight with Maddie, the condition for the mission to open is to declare war on Maddie, and it is not okay to secretly cut points without declaring war, and Maddie's side will definitely care about this matter.

Looking at Liu Mang's tangled look, Jason Terry snorted angrily: "Ace, you are stupid! Of course you have to accept it! him! That is, I can't do it, if I have Ace's scoring ability, I will definitely compete with him for the scoring title! ”

"So direct?" Liu Mang heard Jason Terry's words, but he didn't expect the other party to say this, "In this way, Jason, your data may shrink again." ”

"......" Jason Terry was even angrier, "don't you usually throw and pass it to me less?" ”

Speaking of Jason Terry, he is very sad and angry!

"Uh......" Liu Mang thought about it, it seemed that he often did this, and he was so excited that he was in charge of a strong wave.

While Liu Mang was talking to Jason Terry, his teammates also came out one after another after taking a shower, and when they heard the conversation between Liu Mang and Jason Terry, the other three of the team's top five scorers also came over.

"Ace, Jason is right, kill Tracy, it's too bad to give us face, don't give him the scoring title! It doesn't matter if you can't shoot, I'll help you grab the rebound! Rahim patted Liu Mang on the shoulder and said.

"I'm here to help Ace win the championship, you can do whatever you want! I can't help you grab rebounds for the time being, wait for me to come back! Although Rashid Wallace was always teased by Liu Mang, he supported Liu Mang at this time.

"Ace, I've got your back." Boozer still didn't talk much, but Liu Mang could hear that he was definitely from the heart.

Liu Mang was so moved that he almost burst into tears, with tears shining in his eyes: "It's great to have teammates like you......"

Looking at Liu Mang's appearance, the four people around felt that the chrysanthemums were cool, and several people took a big step away from Liu Mang.

Seeing Liu Mang's hypocritical expression, everyone else couldn't stand it!

"Ace, you're disgusting! Remember to go to Las Vegas for a week in the summer after winning the scoring title! You are responsible for the hotel, the girl, and the car money! "This is Rasheed Wallace.

"Yes, the girls have to be all Hollywood actors!" This is Jason Terry, who loves dating third-rate female stars.

"That's right, Ace has earned so much endorsement fees, and it has made our data worse, so we have to ask him to play with us for a few more days." This is Rahim.

"Bosses, I support your ideas!" This is Boozer.

"By the way, Jason, you know a lot of female stars, bring a few more when the time comes, and let Ace pay."

"Okay! The appointment is wrapped around me, and the wallet is on Ace......"

The four of them were talking, and they directly threw down Liu Mang, who had been frozen with a moved expression, and left the dressing room by himself after changing his clothes.

Liu Mang's emotion just now was all thrown into the Mariana Trench, these guys! It's actually about conditions!

Depend on! The tears that almost flowed from the eyes of the blind master just now! This bunch of stinky shameless ones! Lie to the little master's tears!

It's so nice to say, one by one looks like how great they are, and they all want to deceive the master to pay!

Looking at this group of bastards as if they had agreed, they all began to discuss which of those third-rate stars they liked, how to contact them, and how to play in the summer, Liu Mang felt that his beautiful knife was flying......

……

On the evening of January 5, 2004.

With Liu Mang not responding to Maddie's scoring title challenge for two days, fans and media who have been arguing for two days are about to lose interest in this matter.

It seems that Liu Mang may still focus on the team's record, and now the information communication technology is very developed, as soon as the news of Maddie's challenge came out, fans believed that Liu Mang knew it immediately, even if Liu Mang didn't know it at the time, the next TV, Internet, and newspaper news all turned this matter upside down, and it was impossible for Liu Mang not to know about Maddie's challenge.

But there has been no response yet, in the eyes of fans, there is only one possibility, that is, Liu Mang chose not to accept it to avoid affecting the team's record.

Such an ending, although a small number of fans said that Liu Mang was every kind and did not dare to accept the challenge, but the vast majority of fans agreed with it, although individual heroism is very popular in the United States, but the team spirit is also what fans like, but it is a little regrettable.

But at 7 p.m. on the 5th, ESPN Sports Channel and the sports section of their official website released a news preview at the same time, and Liu Mang's response to Maddie's challenge will be announced through a news interview at 8 p.m.

An interview is broadcast in the form of a news preview, in the NBA and even in the entire sports world, there is no one except Liu Mang!

But!

Fans are used to Liu Mang's personality of doing things, and they think it's funny! The ratings are extremely high every time!

After Liu Mang got the "conditional" support of his teammates after training in the afternoon, he immediately contacted ESPN.

ESPN has been waiting for Liu Mang's news for a long time, they believe that Liu Mang will accept Maddie's challenge, and he will definitely not simply agree, through the previous cooperation, they already know Liu Mang's character of loving things.

Although the chances of not agreeing are quite high, as one of the largest news outlets in the United States, ESPN will not let go of any possible big news.

Liu Mang also continued to choose to cooperate with ESPN, and he could get the help of one of the largest media outlets in the United States, and he would not suffer a loss.

Moreover, because of Liu Mang's relationship, the brokerage company invested by Liu Mang also has a good relationship with ESPN, and the players of Liu Mang's company have also received a lot of exposure because of Liu Mang, such as Boozer, who is now very popular, and Wade has also received a lot of exposure, so that Liu Mang's agency has been favored by many college stars and high school stars.

When Liu Mang and ESPN recorded the video, even the reporters from ESPN were dumbfounded! Then there was ecstasy, and the reporter who appeared in this interview felt that he was going to follow the fire too!

……

At 7:50 p.m., fans and even many stars who didn't play tonight stayed in front of the TV, not only the fans like to watch the game, but as basketball players, most of them are basketball fans themselves.

It's been a long time since there has been a battle for the scoring champion, and everyone is curious about what kind of response Liu Mang will make.

Since he wants to respond, it is basically certain that Liu Mang is going to agree.

But just like ESPN thought, Liu Mang's interview video made fans and stars very curious, what kind of way did Liu Mang respond, Liu Mang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he will never suffer in this kind of thing!

At 8 p.m., after ESPN's hourly news and the news host's passionate opening remarks, the TV screen switched to Liu Mang's interview video.

Liu Mang's face appeared on the TV screen, and his expression was as conceited as ever.

The reporter holding the microphone with the ESPN logo asked Liu Mang, "Ace, have you heard about Tracy McGrady challenging you for the scoring title?" ”

"Oh, now I know." Liu Mang replied with a very casual look.

"Ace, do you choose to accept or reject?"

Liu Mang made a very distressed expression, but everyone could see that there was banter in that expression.

Liu Mang sighed and said: "Alas, I was not interested in the scoring champion, but since Tracy challenged, then I agreed, the scoring champion or anything is not important to me, but I am still very confident in my score, Tracy will not be my opponent, never, no one scores is my opponent, I am not targeting Tracy alone, I mean the scorers who may be watching the news in front of the TV now, in terms of scoring, everyone here is rubbish!" ”
