919. When excellence has become a habit
When people see the excellence of a team as a normal performance, it is undoubtedly the greatest compliment for that team.
Just like the Spurs, who have won 56 games since Duncan's rookie season, and then won the first place in the West three times as of the 02-03 season for many years, Duncan has not fallen out of the top three in the West since Duncan's sophomore year, and people have regarded the Spurs' excellence as a normal performance.
I don't know when it started, but the excellence of the Eagles is also regarded as a normal performance.
When Liu Mang got 20 times 40+ times and 5 times 50+ times in a single season, his personal excellent performance and the excellent performance of the Eagles were considered the norm.
Although the Eagles only won more than 40 wins in the 02-03 season, there was a significant gap between 50 wins, but they still played to the Eastern Conference finals that year, so they are still considered to have played a very good season.
Now the Hawks have 49 wins, and they are about to win 50, back-to-back against the weak Warriors, although they have taken three starts, but with Liu Mang, a sadistic demon, the Hawks have won 50 wins in this game, and the chances of becoming the first team to get 50 wins this season are still very good.
However, when the Hawks' excellence became a habit, the Hawks won 50 games in a row for the second year in a row, which seemed to people to be as worthless as the Spurs were once again in the top three in the West.
It is impossible to have a live broadcast against the Warriors, even if it is a game of the Hawks, there is no live broadcast, and the current live broadcast resources are expensive.
The focus of this game is also average, and the battle for a few post-playoff spots in the East and West is now the highlight of the NBA, and which teams will fall behind and which teams will come back is the favorite game for fans to watch after All-Star Weekend.
Of course, the matchup is also one of the most important aspects of the fans, and the ranking card battle between the strong teams usually ends in eight to ten games in the final month of the season.
Therefore, the Hawks playing the Warriors is neither a card battle, nor a strong matchup, without live broadcast, even if the Hawks have a chance to get 50 wins soon, there are not many people who care.
It's normal for the Eagles to win 50.
The rest of the Hawks' games this month are not easy to pay attention to, even if they are Chinese fans, and the Hawks are not easy to abuse, and Coach Krueger did not announce that the next game against the Jazz will take four starters in rotation.
So, the Hawks became the league's first 50-win team this season, and it should have passed without a shock.
However, after Liu Mang slashed 60 points in the third quarter, and the Warriors just scored 60 points in the third quarter, it was like detonating a depth charge on the calm sea, which attracted the attention of all fans!
When the news that Liu Mang scored 60 points in the third quarter came out, most people didn't believe it.
People's first reaction was "Damn, are you kidding, today is not April Fool's Day, 60 minutes in three quarters?" ”。
When I saw that the news from the major media was unanimous, and the NBA official website updated the score and the scores of the two teams in each quarter and the specific data of the players after the game between the Hawks and the Warriors, people's reactions were ", that guy is really joking!" 60 points in three quarters! ”
Liu Mang's three sections...... To be precise, Liu Mang scored 60 points in two quarters, eleven minutes and nine seconds, the Warriors only scored 60 points, and the Hawks led the Warriors by 28 points in the third quarter of 88-60!
The Warriors called a timeout, Liu Mang's score also increased to 60, and Coach Kruger replaced Liu Mang.
Although after three quarters and sixty minutes, it is possible to do something terrifying, but Coach Kruger still replaced Liu Mang, in case the other party does something and something happens to Liu Mang, it will be bad.
Kobe Bryant originally scored 81 points against the Raptors because the Lakers trailed by 14 points at halftime.
Sure enough, after the timeout came back, the Warriors were crazy and wanted to score, and Coach Kruger felt that if Liu Mang was put on the court, he might be driven crazy by the other party and do something
However, the Hawks, seeing that Liu Mang scored as many points as the Warriors, also went crazy defensively to help Liu Mang keep this great miracle.
In the last 51 seconds, the Warriors played three offensive high-confrontation situations and did not give the Warriors a whistle, and the Hawks did not score in the last 51 seconds, and when the third quarter was played, the Hawks still scored 88 points, and the Warriors still scored 60 points!
If the Warriors threw the ball in, there would be nothing to say, but the referee knew that because of their whistle, they must not let Liu Mang score 60 points VS Warriors 60 points such a feat as being ruined!
It's a real one-man against a team!
The referees were all frightened by Liu Mang's performance!
The referee can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but this is the first time I have seen such a performance!
If the opponent is defending very hard, score more than 40 points in the third quarter, 50 points, and someone scores as much as the opponent, which is acceptable.
But if a player scores 60 points in three quarters, even if it is calculated according to the average points per quarter, if he plays the whole game......
Of course, it can't be counted like this, Maddy's season when he won the scoring title, he scored 52 points in the third quarter twice, but after 52 points in the first three quarters, he scored 24 points in the third quarter, and he wanted to rush to a wave of 70+ in the fourth quarter, but he only shot 1 of 6 in the fourth quarter, and he couldn't shoot at all, or the opponent's rough defense made him get 12 free throws in the last quarter, but only 8 of 12 free throws.
Although Maddie finally scored 62 points in the first game of 52 points in the third quarter, after the second three quarters of 52 points, he didn't even have the motivation to go up and score 60 points, he was too tired.
But Liu Mang is different! Liu Mang's physical fitness is notoriously good, and the only few players who can compare his physical fitness with him are Kobe Bryant, Iverson, Hamilton and a very few players before weight gain, Liu Mang has the ability to continue to be rigid in the fourth quarter!
Even there are 51 seconds left in the third quarter, Liu Mang once scored 17 points in 37 seconds with Maddie, that miracle was just a month ago, this is not due to the referee, Liu Mang will score 70+ or even higher if he continues to stay on the court!
In the end, Liu Mang was still not replaced in the fourth quarter, and Calderon, Jason Terry, Korver, Iguodala, and Vallejo played the fourth quarter with a big four.
The Warriors failed to overtake Liu Mang in the last 51 seconds of the third quarter, and their mentality completely collapsed, and the Hawks were defenseless in the fourth quarter, and they still threw casually on the outside, wanting to end the game quickly.
The fans at the scene kept chanting "We want Ace", but Coach Kruger never replaced Liu Mang.
The fans at the scene turned against each other from the beginning, and they were beaten by Liu Mang alone for three quarters and a draw, and the Warriors had no heart to play at all.
In the end, the Hawks beat the Warriors by 37 points, 120-83.
It's not just that the referee thinks that Liu Mang can do bigger things if he continues to play, but the fans also think the same, with Liu Mang's physical fitness, he will definitely not run out of physical strength like Maddie after three quarters, and he is likely to make a big deal when he plays the whole game!
Liu Mang did not continue to play in the fourth quarter, which became a regret in the hearts of fans and media.
However, even if Liu Mang didn't play in the fourth quarter, a data on the NBA's official website, major portals, and forums once again stunned everyone.
People suddenly found that Liu Mang fought against the entire Warriors team with one hand, and after scoring 60 points in the third quarter, the average score per game has increased to 37 points!
No more, no less, just 37 points per game!
Liu Mang played 57 games and just got 2109 points! An average of 37 points per game!
Since the merger of the NBA and ABA in 1976, except for Liu Mang, only one player has averaged 37 points per game, and even excluding Liu Mang, only one player has ever averaged 35 points per game.
That's Jordan in '86-87 and '87-88. Back-to-back two seasons with 37.1 points and 35 points, the second season before the All-Star Weekend Jordan still averaged 36.8 points per game, but the Bulls traded to get former Celtics championship team member Sam Vincent, Pippen also improved greatly in the second half of the season, after the All-Star Weekend Pippen averaged 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, Vincent averaged 13 points per game, and took away some of Jordan's shots, Jordan's average points per game began to decline, but in the end there were also 35 points per game.
Since 1976, except for Jordan, the only player who can maintain such a high average of points per game is Liu Mang!
Liu Mang's performance this season has been continuing, this is the 21st time this season 40+, the sixth time 50+ and the second time 40+!
So far, Liu Mang has won 4 40+ times in his career, equaling Jordan's 40+ times!
Liu Mang averaged 37 points per game, Jordan's career high was 37.1 points per game, and it was also the highest scoring record after Chamberlain averaged 38 points per game in the 1964-1965 season.
Liu Mang: This is to surpass the rhythm of Jordan's career's highest average points per game!
……
After the game, Liu Mang attended a press conference.
Liu Mang himself didn't expect that he would play like that.
As for why the fourth quarter didn't go up to score points......
Just kidding, seeing the Warriors' crazy appearance at the end of the third quarter, he knew that he would definitely encounter the same defense he had when he played the Bulls.
A good third quarter and the opponent's whole team tied this kind of "miracle" that is not an officially recognized record but will definitely be recorded in the history of the NBA, don't go up and break this "miracle" that has been fixed by yourself, isn't there a problem with your head?
At this time, Liu Mang understood Kobe Bryant's psychology when he scored 62 points in the third quarter and scored one more point than the opponent in the fourth quarter, which is more compelling than scoring 70 points!
However, answering the media, of course, you can't answer like this, Liu Mang made a nonchalant look and said: "I'm not the kind of person who is keen on scoring, I played in the third quarter just because my teammates were resting, I needed to shoot a little more, I just threw in, we were almost 30 points ahead after the third quarter, I don't need to play anymore, if I get 60 points, I win, if I get 101 points, what is the difference?" ”
The media are going to roll their eyes, who said you could score 101 points in the fourth quarter?
Liu Mang's shameless answer made the media slander, but he wrote all the words Liu Mang said in the news......
……
Not only did the fans go crazy, but Liu Mang's 60 points in the third quarter also caused a big shock among the players.
Maddie, who was on the same team as Liu Mang, watched the game on the sidelines, and when he was interviewed after the game, he didn't know what to say except laughing or laughing.
Iverson learned the news in an interview after the game, saying: "He's all about me trying to steal the scoring title, but forget it, the playoffs are a little bit more important to me, and I've got a couple of things." ”
Carter received a phone interview from the TV station that night, and he still had the same attitude: "Every time Ace does this, he will teach bad children, and children will think that playing like that is the right ......"
Kobe Bryant hung up the phone directly from the TV station, the Hawks played the Warriors without a national live broadcast, but Time Warner has a live broadcast in Georgia and California, and Kobe Bryant doesn't want to say anything now.
Jordan was interviewed, and when asked if he could be surpassed by Liu Mang by 37.1 points, Jordan laughed and said: "Hahahaha, that's great, I'm always looking forward to someone challenging me, Ace did a great job......"
What else could Jordan do? I can only smile on my face and XXX......
Many stars have commented on Liu Mang's performance this time, of course, the reporter took the initiative to find the door, except for a very few, even if it is an opponent who has a bad relationship with Liu Mang, the answer is mainly congratulations.
There's no way, it's really just enough to score! The scores that people get "casually" are more than 30 points, and that's it when they break out, some players have played all their lives and have never scored 30 points a few times.
……
……
On February 23, the day after the Hawks finished playing the Warriors, Liu Mang took nine other teammates except Maddy, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown and others to Salt Lake City, and Maddy and other four starters went to Phoenix to wait for the 25th to meet and play the Suns in Phoenix.
On the second day, Liu Mang scored 60 points in the third quarter, and the heated discussion continued, mainly because there was no live broadcast in the United States, and the information was very slow, especially in China, many people didn't believe it, and when it was repeatedly confirmed, the entire fan circle exploded.
Just when Liu Mang's matter sparked a wave of discussion among fans, a signing of the Eagles quietly happened.
On the morning of February 23, the Hawks officially announced that they had reached a one-year base salary of 860,000 with Wesley Persson, with two months left, which is actually a 286,000 contract until the end of the season.
Wesley Persson was once the Cavaliers' god shooter, shooting 42 percent from three-point range in his career, averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game so far in his career.
Persson has served as a backup small forward and backup point guard for the Heat this season, and last night, Persson reached a buyout agreement with the Heat, and flew to Atlanta early this morning for a medical examination, and immediately flew to Salt Lake City to meet with the Hawks in preparation for tomorrow's game.
Persson gave up a large sum of money in order to join the Eagles.
Persson signed a three-year 9 million guaranteed contract with the Heat last summer, in order to reach a buyout agreement with the Heat, Persson gave up the rest of the salary this season, and the salary of the next two years of the contract, Persson also gave up half, and the remaining two years could have been a total of 6 million US dollars, but now he can only get 1.5 million US dollars per year, and the Hawks signed a base salary contract of 860,000 US dollars, with two months left, that is, less than 300,000 US dollars of income, whether he can continue to play next season is two words.
Persson played 25 games for the Heat this season, averaging 14 minutes per game, 5.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists, and most importantly, he averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game with a 43% three-point shooting rate!
Persson, who is still a month away from turning 34, is still in good shape, but I don't know what Big Van Gundy thinks, when he is asked to play, he directly lets him play the whole quarter, does not let him play, and hides several games in a row.
Pat Riley signed Persson last summer with a three-year, $9 million contract, but Big Van Gundy just didn't need it.
In order to save salaries, and Persson really doesn't want to play in the Heat anymore, Pat Riley agreed to Persson's buyout request in order to reduce the luxury tax.
The Eagles took advantage of Liu Mang to take away all the attention and quietly reinforced, Liu Mang arrived in Salt Lake City and found that a strong reinforcement suddenly came!
