60 points in the third quarter is an unexpected joy, for Liu Mang, in addition to pretending to be forced, it is also more superstar value.

After playing the Clippers and Warriors, Liu Mang's superstar value finally exceeded 50,000, reaching 51,132 superstar points.

The rogue value also exceeded 40 million again, reaching 40.22 million, and it is still rising.

Since last night, Liu Mang's mobile phone has to be blown up by the players and media in the league who know his mobile phone number, and he turned off the phone decisively, and returned to the hotel and the excited little Lori after a computer video call, he didn't care about the mobile phone, and today he arrived in Salt Lake City, which is very close to California, a small time away, and arrived at the room, rested for a while, and then turned on the mobile phone, saw that the text message had exploded, and the relationship was generally replied to the text message, and after calling and bragging about the relationship, the problem of the phone was finally dealt with.

However, there is still no call or text message from Kobe, and Liu Mang is a little regretful.

After dealing with these things, Liu Mang calmed down.

Just like he said when he pretended to be pressing, he just won a regular season game and played well, but even better he won the game.

The Hawks now have a 13-game winning streak that equals the Suns' previous record for this season's winning streak, but because of Liu Mang's 60-point streak in the third quarter, the winning streak has not attracted people's attention, and even the Hawks' 50 wins have only been brushed off in the news.

Liu Mang's goal of 18 consecutive victories was given the opportunity to be obscenely and secretly completed.

Arrived at the hotel in Salt Lake City at half past nine in the morning, Liu Mang spent more than half an hour calling and texting, rested until 11 o'clock, and saw that there was still an hour before lunch, Liu Mang was going to go to the gym to practice waist and abdominal strength, but was called by Emmanuol to the conference room of the hotel rented by the team.

Liu Mang came to the conference room, and Coach Kruger saw him coming, and immediately introduced: "Ace, this is our new teammate, Wesley Persson. ”

Liu Mang thought there was something to talk about, but he didn't expect to usher in a new teammate!

Persson took the initiative to reach out and say hello: "Ace, wow, it's great to be your teammate, I really want to play with you on the court now." ”

"Hello, I'm Ace, but it's not a good thing to play with me, and I'm not good at passing." Liu Mang made a joke.

"Haha, it's okay, don't we still have Tracy!" Persson laughed and said that the young core can joke about it, which proves that he is not a difficult person to get along with, and although Persson and Maddie are on the phone, they still have doubts.

Now Persson has contacted Liu Mang himself, he has been in the NBA for eleven years, and he is still a role player, and it can be seen at once whether people get along well or not.

He has reached this time, just to realize his dream of a championship, and to make a little contribution.

After getting acquainted, Coach Kruger told Liu Mang that there was nothing to do, and Liu Mang did not continue to stay in the conference room, the team editors were here and were using the computer to connect to the projector, Liu Mang knew that this was to make the new teammates familiar with the team's tactics, and the coaching staff still had to be busy.

It's not that there is no news that a certain player wants to join the Eagles, but most of them are groundless, not necessarily people really don't have this idea, but most of the rumors are unreliable, the Eagles want it, and people want to come, but there are no conditions to complete the cooperation.

Either the contract is too big and the player is not willing to give up so much money, or the player's team refuses to let him go.

Liu Mang remembers that Persson was called an important recruit by the media last summer, a 33-year-old veteran role player got a three-year, 9 million contract, and it caused a lot of discussion at the time, and Persson was also seen as an important addition to the Heat's lack of outside shooting ability.

But Liu Mang has played three games with the Heat this season, and he doesn't seem to have seen a player named Persson on the court from the Heat, and Liu Mang forgot about it.

I didn't expect Persson to come to my own team! And with two months left in the regular season, there must be no doubt about the base salary, and if the Heat team wants to release him, he must have taken a lot less money, Liu Mang was very surprised.

Liu Mang hasn't had time to pretend to be forced online, and he doesn't know about the team's recruitment, he has been giving interviews last night, and he hasn't noticed the constant phone calls between the coaching staff and Price.

Coach Kruger introduced Persson to Liu Mang, and in the afternoon, Coach Kruger will bring Persson to the players to get to know each other, but Liu Mang, as the absolute core of the team, will get to know him first.

After saying hello, Coach Kruger, Mike Woodson and Stockton called Persson to look at the slides to explain the team's tactics and the role Persson was going to play.

Although he is only a veteran who is about to be 34 years old, anyone who is signed by the team has the opportunity to play, as long as he plays, he has to pay attention to it, and a person who goes up to catch the blind, so what should he do on it, it is better to train young people to be veterans is to need them to contribute immediately, whether it is a contribution in the locker room or a contribution on the field.

However, Persson is also a wanderer who has been on many teams, basically changing teams can contribute immediately, 10 years of rich game experience, plus a good mentality of veterans not in salary and data, is the object of consideration by the coaching staff for a long time.

There were still a few days to consider, but because Liu Mang wanted to get 18 consecutive wins, Coach Kruger didn't want to disrupt the rotation plan, Maddie's physical fitness was average, Rashid Wallace was old, and Prince needed to rest every day to defend the opponent's best singles players, and he could only rest more, not less, so yesterday Coach Krueger stepped up contact with the owner Price and also reached a consensus with Persson.

After Persson got the Hawks' signing commitment, he immediately reached a buyout with the Heat, and it is here today.

After Liu Mang left the office, he asked the system: "Persson's ability evaluation and peak evaluation." ”

"Ding...... Wesley Persson, Ability: 73, Offense: 77, Defense: 70, Three-pointers: 88, Shooting 75, Layup (76......"

"Ding...... Wesley Persson 1997-1998 Edition (Peak), Ability Rating 79, Offense 85, Defense 70, Three-Point 89, Shooting 79, Layup 85,...... Averaged 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game...... He averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game, shooting 43 percent from three-point range and 46 percent from the field overall......

God pitcher! And the three-point aspect is so good!

Although he is an ordinary starter at his peak, he is not a quasi-first-class star, but he is the type that all coaches like, with accurate shooting, clear positioning, and high efficiency.

It's just that such a player often goes unnoticed, and if it's a popular team, in some less popular teams, despite playing well, other fans may not notice such a player except for the fans of that team.

For example, Liu Mang has no impression of Persson at all.

But the strength is really good, I'm about to be 34 years old, and I still have a 73 ability evaluation.

This year, the Eagles' internal and external reinforcements are very targeted, and Liu Mang's already good mood has become better.

When the four starters are rested, the Hawks have no problem inside, as well as Muhammad, Mourning, Josh Smith, Vallejo and even McCarty, and it is enough to play the weak team with Liu Mang to support.

But there are fewer outsiders, Iguodala, Korver, Calderon, Jason Terry and Liu Mang, a total of five people rotate, except for Liu Mang and Jason Terry, three first- and second-graders, which are enough.

Now there is a veteran pitcher with a 73 ability evaluation, when Korver and Calderon, the two first- and second-year students did not perform well, there was a veteran, not to mention whether he could shoot or not, in terms of his career three-point shooting rate of more than 40 percent, Liu Mang felt relieved when he saw it.

When a team is at its best, it tends to get better all the time, like the Cosmos, who was a champion and a 73-win team the next year, and then Durant came and then got Cousins, and they got better until the salary crisis fully erupted.

Quickly completed the recruitment, Liu Mang knew that the team's lineup had stabilized this year, the lineup was young, the starter had Rasheed Wallace as a morale booster, and the substitutes had two veterans of Mourning and Persson, and the team was ready for the playoffs.

Of course, Liu Mang knows that this also means that the team's regular season has come to an end, and there are still 25 games, except for the rotation, which is probably to prepare for the tactics of the playoffs, especially a veteran pitcher, whose ability is not worse than Iguodala, better than Korver and Calderon, and must let the veteran run into the team.

……

Liu Mang is very excited to get the help of the veteran, the media and fans have not paid much attention to the fact that the Eagles signed a veteran with a base salary, and now the league is talking about Liu Mang's 60 points in the third quarter.

However, the other favorites are unhappy with the Heat's move to give Persson to the Hawks.

The Hawks got Persson, not to mention invulnerable, at least the Hawks did not have a veteran on the outside to make up for the loophole, last season's Hawks outside the veteran Stockton, this season has not been a veteran, most of the substitutes are a year two, it is a big but small is not a big hole, but Pat Riley just gave Persson to the Hawks, so that the head coaches of other championship teams are very dissatisfied, aren't you afraid that the Eagles will become stronger?

How could Pat Riley's calculations be understood by others.

In the second game of the regular season this year, he has used a lot of planning and calculations to try how to deal with the Hawks, but he found that Wade is still young and cannot compete with Liu Mang and Maddie...... And so on, a whole bunch of problems were all exposed when playing against the Eagles.

God Operator knows that this year is not their best year, since he can't beat the Eagles, then he doesn't want other teams to beat the Eagles, and when the Eagles win consecutive championships and slack off, they will have a better chance next season.

……

……

The heated discussion about the Hawks continues, and Liu Mang has put aside the game with the Warriors.

Streaks are even more important!

It's 13 consecutive wins, and there are still 5 games left, although the Jazz record is poor, but their lineup is not very bad, but it's not bad, it's just a mess for the sake of a mess.

Who knows if the other party will explode at this time.

On the 24th, Liu Mang, Muhammad, and Jason Terry went to get together with Boozer at noon, and after a training session for the evening game against the Jazz and a tactical joint practice with Persson, Liu Mang came to the lounge to rest for a while, waiting for dinner and pre-game warm-up time.

Liu Mang opened the system panel.

51,132 superstar points, more than 41.76 million rogue points, and more than 1 million rogue points in more than a day, the acquisition of the second talent skill is steadily progressing.

Seeing that the physical fitness potion and the injury potion were about to bottom out again, Liu Mang said to the system: "System boss, 111 superstar value lotterys. ”

"The host uses 111 primary superstar value draws, consuming 11,100 superstar points ......"

The feeling of this overwhelming light blue box "crowding" the entire room is so refreshing, after rotating together, the whole room is full of green smoke, although only Liu Mang can see it......

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 132 Mental Elixirs, 56 Primary Injury Potions, and 71 Skill Upgrade Cards. ”

Liu Mang took a look, and now there are a total of 103 physical energy potions, 106 primary injury potions, and 106 skill upgrade cards.

It's enough to hold out for a while, and there are still 40,032 superstar points, and it's enough to get into trouble, not to mention that there are Wade and Ray Allen's stars stuck there.

Liu Mang closed his eyes and closed his eyes to prepare for the evening game, and the mental fatigue was the most tiring thing for Liu Mang to play back-to-back in a row.

……

After the evening warm-up workout, the Hawks stepped onto the Energy Solutions Center arena to take on the Jazz on the road.

Jazz fans are friendly to the Hawks, at least not booed, and while Stockton's influence is still there, as long as the Hawks and Jazz don't threaten each other in the playoffs, Jazz fans are expected to be friendly to the Hawks.

The duo returned to Salt Lake City just as a Hawks coaching staff and trainer, but the two "joined hands" again to the delight of Jazz fans.

The Jazz have contacted the Hawks and Malone before, and the poster at the door of the arena says that they will retire the jersey for Malone at halftime.

Jazz fans now really feel that Malone has completely retired, originally the Hawks vacated a position when they got a trade for Mourning, Malone wanted to continue playing, the Hawks must be happy, but Malone insisted on not coming back, and now he has signed Persson, Malone's championship window is completely closed, and the Jazz are immediately ready to retire Malone's jersey when the Hawks come to Salt Lake City to play.

After Liu Mang entered, he saw the lineup of the Jazz team, and he couldn't figure out how this team could play to have a record of 16 wins!

Boozer averaged 17.7 points and 11.6 boards per game, and Kirilenko averaged 15 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3.4 blocks per game, surpassing Camby's 3.2 blocks per game.

Not only the data, but also the ability evaluation!

Liu Mang looked at the ability evaluation of the Jazz players, Boozer, the ability evaluation is 88, the offense is 92, the defense is 73, after playing the starter, the strength is fully displayed, and the progress has become faster.

Kirilenko, rating of ability 86, offensive 79, defensive 91.

Matt Haplin, Competency Assessment 81, Memet Oku, Competency Rating 77, Carlos Arroyo, Competency Rating 71......

The lineup of the Jazz team, Liu Mang thinks that it is not easy for Sloan to make the Jazz team's record to the third lowest in the league......

……

Just as Liu Mang thought, Sloan really pulled down his face and put it badly, after getting Boozer and Oku, they had the strength to enter the playoffs, but last season's mess, a total of three draft picks were basically sent out, and the duo combination of Boozer and Oku on the inside was completed, plus the forward combination of Haprin and Kirilenko, for more than just the playoffs, he wanted a new championship team.

Last year, he got the No. 6 pick for the Hawks, and for another year, Sloan was calm.

It's just that it's very bumpy! has done this, and is still only ranked third-to-last.

The Jazz are 16-40 so far, and they are seriously losing, but they can't stand the Hornets and Bobcats, two Charlotte-born teams, have only won 10 games so far, which is really unacceptable!

The core combination of Boozer and Kirilenko is a first-class star, which is also the key to Sloan's racking of brains and not being able to make the team completely rotten, and it is impossible not to let these two first-class stars play, which are two important components of the core trio in the future.

The Jazz are third from the bottom in the league, and it is very difficult to "catch up" the Hornets and the future Hornets, these two teams produced by Charlotte are trying their best to compete for the top pick, and the Jazz have tried their best to put it badly, but it is good to not be able to stand the team lineup!

But as the NCAA progresses this season, Sloan feels the top three picks are enough.

Sloan's favorite point guard, Deron Williams, is expected to be third or fourth, but Sloan has found another NCAA pick-and-roll pick-and-roll pick this year, and Chris Paul, who has risen from the middle of the first round to the top five picks in his sophomore year, has more options and doesn't necessarily have to be a pick.

The most important thing is that Duncan Australia - Andrew Bogut has played too well this season, compared to Duncan back then, he is not inferior at all, the champion is a certainty, and others don't even have a chance to compete......

Of course, it would be hard to say if the Bobcats got the No. 1 pick, maybe Jordan was ready to show his unique vision again after seeing Kwame Brown show his talent, but even if Bogut was not selected with the first pick, the second pick would definitely be taken away.

Bogut averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in the NCAA regular season this year, and got a double-double in all 26 games.

If Sloan gets the top pick, he will not hesitate to choose Bogut, and he will not worry about the team in the future, the key is that Bogut plays at the University of Utah, and if Sloan gets Bogut, he must be selected.

Even if it is a trade later, Sloan has to choose Bogut first, Bogut's popularity in Salt Lake City is higher than all the current Jazz players, if the Jazz get the top pick and don't give Bogut the status of the champion, the Jazz will probably be scolded to death by the fans of the University of Utah.

The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, and a large portion of the Jazz fans are University of Utah students as well as fans of the University of Utah basketball team

The reason why Salt Lake City can have the Devil's home court is that the basketball atmosphere here is quite strong, from elementary school basketball to junior high school, high school, college, NBA, basketball at every stage, Salt Lake City has a glorious history.

The University of Utah is just a university, and the arena inside the university is better than the Jazz arena, and the Energy Solutions Center has only 20,000 seats, but the University of Utah's basketball arena has more than 22,000 seats and is still full, so you can see how fanatical the basketball fans here are.

Therefore, when the Hornets and Bobcats were unshakable in the first and second to last, Sloan saw that the fourth-to-last Raptors and the fifth-to-last Bucks had already won 20 wins, so they simply didn't fight for the first place, just kept the third, and avoided the conflict with the fans at that time.

With more than 20 games left in the regular season, it's time to cultivate a winning culture and wait for a good point guard to come next season, which can directly let the rookie point guard experience the feeling of the playoffs.

The old coach is experienced, can pull down his face, and honestly and steadily builds the team, which is the blessing of the Jazz team, otherwise it would be too difficult for such a small city to rise.

Losing is a lose, but to let the players have the spirit of fighting to win, of course, to play a strong team to fight, in case of winning, but also to improve the players' self-confidence for so long.

For example, playing the Eagles, Sloan is ready to give the players confidence.

Boozer is very motivated in the face of his old club, and wants to prove that he can change teams, this is not Boozer's hatred of the Eagles to trade and beat him, but he still belongs to the Eagles now, if he fails to win the championship in other teams, the Eagles are estimated to be the team with the most memories of his career, that is the team that has really carried the gun together and fought from the quagmire of failure to the peak together

Boozer just wanted to prove that he could do it, and it was as simple as that.

……

As Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, the two teams made their debuts.

Buzeer saw that on the opposite side, only Liu Mang started one starter, and the others were all from the bench lineup...... Do you look down on buddies so much?

The Eagles sent out a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Korver, Iguodala, Mohammed, and Mourning.

On the Jazz side, the starting combination of Arroyo, Haplin, Kirilenko, Boozer, and Oku came on.

This lineup played together, which reminded Liu Mang of the time when he watched the playoffs between the Rockets and the Jazz in junior high school, and saw that when the Rockets were killed by the Jazz in the first round every year, the Jazz lineup was one Delon.

But it's all good to be young, except for Halprin, the oldest of the Jazz team is 25-year-old Oku.

With Boozer starting his career with a win, will the Jazz be different from the original history? Will it be a threat to the future of their own team?

Liu Mang is curious, but if he can play Boozer in the finals...... Liu Mang is looking forward to it.

Mourning and Oku came to the centre circle to jump the ball, and Mourning grew stronger and stronger, and flicked the ball backwards from the young Oku's head.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he advanced to the front court and quickly rushed to the three-point line.

The Jazz team retreated unexpectedly quickly, and after Liu Mang got to the three-point line, Harprin had already defended in front of him and immediately pasted it towards Liu Mang.

Feeling the rough movements of this white tough guy who experienced the tail of the jazz iron-blooded era in the 90s, Liu Mang took a step back, did not stop, and kicked his right leg violently after retreating, breaking through to the left!

Haprin hurriedly moved to the right, Liu Mang immediately changed direction, and with his left hand, he scooped the bounced ball to the right and accelerated towards the right.

Haprin knew that Liu Mang was going to change direction, but he had to block it, otherwise Liu Mang would directly break into the inside line from the left side, and he couldn't even make Liu Mang spend an extra second to change direction.

Liu Mang rushed directly into the basket from the middle, Boozer's supplementary defense came quickly, and the active defense learned by the Hawks is still maintained, but the awareness of this supplementary defense is still maintained...... Liu Mang took the initiative to stick to Boozer sideways, turned around a half, and used Boozer to block Oku, and Mourning and Muhammad had already stepped back to the sidelines on both sides of the three-second zone and waited for the offensive rebound.

Liu Mang used Boozer to block Oku, and half-turned around and leaned on Boozer's hook hand to shoot!

It was a perfect breakthrough to turn around and hook his hand in the low position, but just when the ball was about to reach the highest point, one hand came out of the air and flew the racket that Liu Mang hooked out!

Andrei Kirilenko!

Just like Kirilenko's sinister face, he is like this on defense, he has excellent blocking awareness, he is fast enough to be on par with a point guard, and he is very good at blocking from behind, like a killer in the dark!

The ball was slapped on the rebound by Kirilenko, and Mohammed on the same side reacted quickly, grabbed the ball, grabbed the ball with both hands and sent it to the basket, and scored two points on the second attack.

The goal was scored, but Liu Mang saw that the Jazz team almost formed an encirclement around him!

Haprin defended him alone, Boozer was assisting in the defense, and Oku also wanted to come up and attack, but was blocked by Liu Mang taking advantage of Boozer's poor defensive awareness, and there was Kirilenko's supplementary defense behind him.

That is, in addition to Arroyo, who defended Korver's three points, the Jazz team had four people to defend him alone!

The Jazz obviously want to take advantage of their four starters to take advantage of their absence!

Liu Mang immediately retreated, and something unexpected happened, the Jazz team was so targeted on the defensive end!

Said that it was good to put a bad fight champion sign? Liu Mang saw Sloane's bitter gourd face that he had never smiled, and felt the pressure coming.

Originally, he was so determined to let the other four starters rest in rotation, and he came by himself because the Warriors and Jazz were both inferior in strength, one was rotten and the other was rotten, but the Jazz team actually wanted to win now!

This was beyond Liu Mang's expectations, watching Boozer go to the low post to ask for the ball after half time, Liu Mang knew that this game was not as simple as he imagined!
