From today on is the king

Chapter 1375 1374.50+ is very simple

After returning from the timeout, Rondo played, Liu Mang was replaced, and the lineup of Rondo, Jason Terry, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown played.

The Jazz put on an all-starter.

With Rondo and Tracy McGrady leading the team, the Eagles are playing well. Rondo's leading offense is getting better and better. The scores of the two teams are always going up slowly.

After halftime, the Eagles entered the intermission with a 52-50 lead of two points.

刘莽打了18分钟，16投7中，三分9中4，拿下21分。

Back in the third quarter, Liu Mang reappeared. The score between the two teams was still deadlocked. The Jazz's feeling of pulling the opponent to their rhythm and winning with rich experience came again!
At the end of the three quarters, the Eagles were overtaken by the Jazz by two points 75-77.

Liu Mang scored 31 points in three quarters. His performance was already very good, but he still failed to lead the team to an advantage and fell behind.

Although the difference of two points is not big, it gave the Jazz players a lot of confidence.

One big problem is the schedule of the Eagles. The Eagles only scored 23 points in the third quarter, and the Jazz scored 27 points. The physical problem became prominent in the third quarter. Liu Mang played the entire quarter and only scored 10 points on 3 of 10 shots. Pulled to more than 5 points.

……

Back from the intermission, the Eagles deployed a lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Granger, and Kwame Brown.

Just play one big and four small ones.

The Jazz are a group of youngsters who have just achieved results, and now they are so excited. They may be the second team after the Mavericks to sweep the Eagles in the regular season in four seasons. In addition, their mid-season schedule is easy. The 30-year-old Kirisek is also in his prime, and now he has no physical problems at all.

The Jazz continued to send in the starting lineup, with the strongest lineup of Deron, Kirisek, Kirilenko, Boozer, and Okur playing.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eagles had the ball, Liu Mang sent the ball to Rondo, and then ran to the frontcourt.

When Liu Mang took a big step outside the top arc, he didn't move and asked Rondo for the ball.

Rondo didn't ask anything, and immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang, and then cut inside, took Deron away, and emptied the top arc space.

Kirisek hunkered down to guard against Liu Mang's accelerated breakthrough at any time. Liu Mang's explosive breakthrough from outside the three-point line was as terrifying as the guy wearing a suit with a bandage on his leg on the sidelines before he was injured!
Seeing Liu Mang leaning over his upper body and grabbing the ball with one hand, Kirisek had no idea what Liu Mang was going to do, post it?The opponent will definitely speed up the breakthrough the moment his foot moves, and Kirisek chose to step on the three-point line and so on.

Liu Mang adjusted his breathing, felt it coming, his legs exerted force suddenly, and he pulled out a super long three-point shot...

27 feet is the distance from the top arc of the NBA court to the center of the basket, and Liu Mang is close to six feet away from the top arc. The ultra-long three-pointers of the ultra-long three-pointers fall into the basket like well-aimed shells!

Kirisek saw Liu Mang pull up suddenly and threw it. He just moved his foot before he was thrown out.

And it's still in!
The scene is getting dry!

"Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai... S-Liu..."

The live DJ roared loudly, detonating the scene.

finally come!

After watching three quarters of the game, the fans finally saw what they wanted to see!

This ball McGrady is shaking his head and smiling bitterly, always so incredible!

The air pressure of the Eagles was relatively low before, and they were pulled into the rhythm of the Jazz. Many people on the Eagles felt very uncomfortable.

But Liu Mang's earth-shattering three-pointer immediately enlivened the atmosphere of the scene.

Liu Mang also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ball went in. The ball was too far away, so he was not sure.

But it's in... Liu Mang retreated with the expression he should have, blowing his gun and pointing his gun.

It's just that pissy.

It wasn't just the fans who were detonated, but also the fighting spirit of the Eagles players!

78 to 77, the Eagles took a one-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which greatly improved the Eagles' fighting spirit and confidence in winning.

When it came time for the Jazz to attack, it seemed that they were surprised by Liu Mang's three-pointer. Boozer received the ball and faced Liu Mang's defense change. His best mid-range shooting was ironed out.

It was the Hawks' turn to attack. After Liu Mang received the ball in the frontcourt, Kirisek immediately pressed up, and he couldn't release it from a super long distance.

Just like Kirilenko's thoughtful defense in the previous round, Liu Mang saw Kirisek pressing up and took the opportunity to break through. Deron came up to pinch. Liu Mang gave the ball to Rondo. Rondo received the ball and rushed inside. Kirilenko received the free throw line.

After passing the ball, Liu Mang cut into the basket and just ran around the basket to the left baseline. When he saw Boozer, who was defending Marion at a 45-degree angle on the left, moving towards the bottom corner and preparing to defend, Liu Mang immediately turned around and ran towards the inside.

Liu Mang changed direction abruptly, and Kirisek's head reacted, but his body didn't listen, and when he turned around, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell down!

Liu Mang ran back and cut into the inside line, McGrady hoisted the ball to the left side of the basket, Liu Mang cut in and jumped high, and got the ball in the air!

There was nothing Okur could do about the ball, Kirisek couldn't block Liu Mang at all, Okur could only back away, and Liu Mang scored two points with a split dunk.

80 to 77, leading by three points!

In the crucial quarter of the game, Liu Mang stood up from the very beginning. Relying on his personal ability and running awareness, Liu Mang scored 5 points in a row!
The Eagles finally cheered up with Liu Mang's ultra-long three-pointer and a beautiful back-run and back-run alley-oop dunk!

The happiest one is of course Liu Mang. The Jazz didn’t seem to expect Liu Mang’s sudden explosion. Although Liu Mang scored 31 points in three quarters before, it was relatively difficult to score. Liu Mang felt good today, but the fourth quarter’s outburst was too violent, which seemed to scare them. Okur’s corner three-pointer was ironed.

When it came to the Hawks offense, McGrady used Rondo to break through and Liu Mang went around the bottom line to attract the attention of Boozer, Deron and Kirisek, who was supposed to defend Liu Mang.

83比77，开局两分多钟，老鹰队打出了一波8比0！6分分差！
The Jazz called a timeout!
But a timeout...it's useless. Although the Jazz has Boozer, one of the league's most scoring power forwards, who is more effective as an insider, there is still a gap compared with Liu Mang, who is already playing high.

After returning from the timeout, coach Kruger specially helped Liu Mang, who was feeling hot, arrange tactics.

Liu Mang can't stop scoring!

Liu Mang made 10 of 7 shots in the final quarter and scored 22 points!
Mainly relying on Liu Mang scoring 5 points in a row at the start of the final quarter, he brought up the momentum. In the next 10 minutes, Liu Mang scored 17 points.

It couldn't be stopped at all. The Jazz were used to the advantage of steadily driving the rhythm of the Eagles in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, they were suddenly defeated by Liu Mang!
The Jazz didn't want to limit Liu Mang's scoring either. When they flanked Liu Mang, Rondo and McGrady made good use of their positioning. McGrady made a three-pointer and Marion scored 4 points in a row. The Jazz chose normal defense.

Liu Mang's three-pointer at the beginning of this quarter was for this purpose, to give his teammates a chance to score, and if his teammates made a shot, he would have a better chance to score. This is a complementary thing.

Fortunately, McGrady took a break in the third quarter and scored the first three-pointer when he came back. Liu Mang successfully achieved his goal.

This is the solution he came up with in the third quarter after seeing that his teammates couldn't make a shot. It can be regarded as a gamble. From his long-range three-pointer to McGrady's three-pointer, they are all betting on the feel.

Throwing a goal is a reward for those who are prepared. Liu Mang's usual hard work has paid off at this moment!

Relying on Liu Mang's 22 points in a single quarter, the Eagles scored 33 to 21 in the final quarter. After Marion came back, the Eagles' defensive efficiency was greatly improved, and the Jazz, who was surprised by Liu Mang's score, played the worst single quarter performance of the game.

In the end, the Eagles beat the Jazz by 108 to 98, 10 points, avoiding a losing streak!
刘莽全场41投19中，三分20投8中，罚球11投7中，狂飙53分！
……

The fans were drowsy after watching the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter, during the entire 23 minutes of the game, the cheering did not seem to stop for a second, especially after Liu Mang scored 40 points, the fans were all chanting "50 points".

Besides victory, the most important thing they are waiting for is Liu Mang's score!

In the end, Liu Mang succeeded, with 53 points in a single game, 50+ in a single game in a row, and raised his scoring average to 30.7 points, tying Arenas again!

In today's game, apart from Liu Mang's performance of 53 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in a single game, everyone else performed well. Marion scored 21 points, and Kwame Brown had 6 points and 15 rebounds. He scored 13 rebounds in the first three quarters, which was the key for the Eagles to maintain the point difference. Due to the physical crisis, McGrady's performance was mediocre, and he only scored 9 points. He was worried about the key three-pointer, and he also had 7 assists and 7 rebounds.

And one very special player...

Rajon Rondo, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and... 4 points in a single game

With 4 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, Rondo's statistics are always eye-catching.

After the game, Liu Mang and Rondo, a pair of point guards, were invited together for an interview.

Sure enough... Rondo's scoring problem was ridiculed again. Today, coach Kruger wanted to replace him with 6 of 2 free throws. It's not as accurate as Kwame Brown's free throws.

The one the media most wanted to interview was, of course, Liu Mang.

The ESPN reporter asked: "Ace, congratulations on getting 50+ again and winning. This is incredible. Do you have anything to say about your three consecutive 50+ games?"

Liu Mang waited for this for a long time, and said in a nonchalant tone: "50+ is actually very simple, just get 10 points in each of the first three quarters, and 20 points in the fourth quarter."
