From today on is the king

Chapter 1553 1552. Epic season performance! (The third asks for a monthly ticket)

So obvious!

On the bar!
After Garnett's 8 blocks in a single game tied the career-high record of 8 blocks in a single game set twice last season, many fans noticed that Garnett and Liu Mang began to compete for the third place in the block list!

With 8 blocks, Garnett's average blocks per game increased to 2.86, just 0.01 more than Liu Mang!

However, there is one thing that people find very strange, and it is also where Garnett feels very strange while robbing.

Everyone else is fighting for the king, but when it comes to Liu Mang and Garnett, they are fighting for the third place...

"Why is it so weird to have anything to do with Ace?"

After some fans raised this question online, it became popular...

……

"This naughty number 21 wants to make trouble with my master, right?" Liu Mang hugged the child and her mother flipped through the news on her mobile phone.

Technology is getting more and more developed. On April Fool's Day on April 4st, the 1G network in most parts of Atlanta officially began to operate.

Liu Mang’s family got Apple’s second-generation mobile phone iPhone 3G that supports 3G network. Although it was more than three months before the official release, the finished product was already available. However, before getting the mobile phone, Liu Mang’s family signed an agreement not to announce anything related to this mobile phone. The agreement was not terminated until after Apple officially held a product launch event.

With Liu Mang as a minority shareholder, Jobs naturally wants to make better use of it. He has been in contact with Schwartz for a long time. After Liu Mang finishes this season, he will go to help Apple with publicity. The new product launch will also announce the news that Liu Mang will become the spokesperson.

Liu Mang didn't refuse, and Apple won't pay dividends in a short time. Liu Mang remembered that the dividends were after 2012, and it would be nice to earn some endorsement fees now.

It is said that they are minority shareholders, but they actually only account for about 1.5% of the shares. They were bought before Apple’s stock price skyrocketed. So far, [-] million US dollars have been invested in it. Of course, it has more than doubled in the past two years. In the future, Apple will continue to raise funds, and Liu Mang will have to continue to invest money in order to maintain this ratio.

So endorsement is also a business, and Schwartz is still negotiating with Apple for a reasonable price.

However, there is no need for Liu Mang to worry about these. Now he is very excited about IP3G, which is more like a smartphone after having a 3G network. Finally, he is about to enter the era of the real information explosion, which is commonly known as the information age.

But when I returned home after the game tonight to check the news on my new mobile phone, I saw Garnett's 8 blocks...

I couldn't help pinching the grapes on my fingertips, and the voice of "hmmmm" from Alexia who was asleep was heard.

But things are already like this, Liu Mang thought that Garnett might really fight with him, but it was just a bad plan that came true.

Liu Mang was a little excited when he thought of this.

Compete against a power forward for the block leaderboard!And not without chance!

……

……

On the morning of April 4th, Liu Mang and his teammates went to Philadelphia together. On the 6th, they will play against the 7ers again.

After arriving at the hotel in Philadelphia, Liu Mang received an email from Schwartz.

"Let me see, the national team friendly match in July, it's a friendly match again, who will you play against... what is it?"

On July 7th and 8th, the Chinese Basketball Association invited UCLA and the University of Kansas to play friendly matches in China. The national team played against the NCAA champion and runner-up...

And Yi Jianlian represented UCLA in the friendly match.

"Are these guys making decisions by patting their butts? What kind of routine is this?"

Liu Mang couldn't figure out how the brains of the officials of the Blue Association grew, this kind of weird operation!
"Is it because the NCAA finals were broadcast live? The reason why Lianmei scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks?"

How can a normal person guess the thoughts of the mysterious executive whose head is caught by the threshold? After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Mang couldn't figure out the meaning of this so-called friendly match. Apart from making the national team "drop in price", Liu Mang really couldn't think of any special meaning.

A group of people who have never played basketball before running a country's basketball affairs... there are always some weird things going on.

Liu Mang was too lazy to think about it: "Let's watch the 76ers game video, don't lose again, try to get a few more blocks... No, it's about winning hard."

……

The victory over the Eagles the day before yesterday made the 76ers fans both excited and sad.

Tickets for the Eagles' home games were hard to come by. They didn't even have the chance to watch the Eagles.

But now, I can only watch my team being beaten by the furious No. [-] team at home...

Since the 76ers counterattacked after the All-Star Weekend and reached eighth in the Eastern Conference, there is a great probability of entering the playoffs as the eighth in the Eastern Conference. The Nets have already dropped to tenth in the Eastern Conference. They were overtaken by the Pistons. The Pistons only won 32, and it was difficult to catch up with the 76ers in the last few games. Therefore, the opponent the Eagles encountered in the first round of the playoffs may be the 76ers.

With that said, the Eagles are serious about...

The starting lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown is on the line, and the bench lineup of Riverde, Grant Hill, O'Neal, Gortat, Brad Miller, and Mason are also eager to perform...

Such a lineup gave Liu Mang a lot of chances to brush his cap...

Teammates also knew that Liu Mang wanted to compete with Garnett for the third place in the blocked shots list. Although they didn't know what to contend with, they were still very active in helping Liu Mang make up for the vacancy that he showed when he blocked shots.

With a full starting lineup for the Eagles, the defensive rotation cannot be compared when there are players absent.

虽然76人队靠着冲劲一度和老鹰队在首节打成26平，上半场打完76人也只以43比52落后9分，但是到了第三节，老鹰队开始占据优势了。

The greater the advantage of the Eagles, the more chances Liu Mang has to block shots...

On the offensive end, Liu Mang still played honest running tactics, organized the offense or shot himself, played 41 minutes, scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 7 blocks!

With another quasi-quadruple double performance by Liu Mang, the Eagles beat the 110ers 89 to 76 relying on their defense in the next three quarters.

In the first four games in April, Liu Mang had 5+ blocks for the third time!

After four games, Liu Mang got a total of 25 blocks!
After this game, Liu Mang's average blocks per game increased to 2.89, surpassing Garnett again and ranking third in the league!
……

……

This is a good moment of fierce ranking competition at the end of the regular season, but the headlines are Liu Mang and Garnett competing for the block list, and they are competing for the third place in the block list.

This bizarre situation is frustrating for teams struggling to compete for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

On April 4th, another player of the week came out, and Liu Mang was still in the east... On the west side, Brandon Roy, the leading star of the Trail Blazers who won 8 consecutive victories in April, got it.

At this stage, you have to look at the real strength.

Although the Rockets, Mavericks, and Trail Blazers are almost 50 wins, there is no doubt that they are the three weakest teams in the top nine in the Western Conference.

At present, the three teams have 5 games left, with a record of 48 wins and 29 losses. For the seventh and eighth positions in the Western Conference, the three teams are working hard.

本赛季到现在，已经出现了10支50胜球队了，分别是65胜的老鹰队、60胜的马刺队、57胜的猛龙队、52胜的湖人、太阳、公牛、黄蜂，51胜的魔术、掘金，50胜的爵士。

After that, the Cavaliers with 49 wins, and the three 48-win teams from seventh to ninth in the West are basically sure to win 50 wins.

With each team basically having 5 games left, in fact, the Lakers, Suns, and Hornets, who are currently tied for second place in the Western Conference, have a chance to fall out of the playoffs. If they lose five games in a row...

Looking at the second-ranked Lakers in the Western Conference, Liu Mang thought about how wonderful this situation is without any malice...

Best of the week for the 15th time of the season!
在03-04赛季刘莽创造了史诗级的单赛季14次周最佳后，人们以为这种记录是不可能会被打破的，毕竟04-05赛季刘莽都场均38分了，也才7次周最佳，05-06赛季拿到助攻王，也才11次周最佳。

而在刘莽的单赛季14次周最佳之前，是魔术师-约翰逊场均23.9分12.2次助攻6.9个篮板的最巅峰的常规赛+总决赛双MVP年份的6次周最佳。

Liu Mang's 14 best of the week is regarded as an unbreakable record.

Of course, the low record is also related to Liu Mang's entry into the NBA's best of the week and best of the month, regardless of the east or west.

But even if the East and West are divided, except for Liu Mang, no one else can break the 6 best-of-the-week record. The sophomore James in the 04-05 season performed so well, and Kobe and Nash performed so well in the 05-06 season.

But... this year, Liu Mang broke this record again!

The 5 best of the month in a single season has already tied the historical record of the 03-04 season, and the 15 best of the week in a single season broke the historical record!

The media and fans are discussing whether it is possible for Liu Mang to become the first player in NBA history to win the best player of the month in an entire season?

Judging from Liu Mang's average of 28 points, 5 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 6.25 blocks per game in the first week...it's very possible!

Not many people thought about that before, but now ESPN is helping Liu Mang to hype it up...

However, there are things that make Liu Mang more happy than the chaos in the Western Conference and winning the 15th Player of the Week this season.

On April 4, the Eagles returned to Atlanta to wait for the rest day of the game against the Pacers. In the game between the Bulls and the Nets, Garnett and Noah had a conflict, and both were sent off!

The reason for the conflict was simple. Garnett ran to block shots when the Bulls were leading by a large score, which angered Noah, a reckless guy. If the referee ran fast, and Garnett, who scolded and retreated, had no choice but to fight back. The two of you pushed me and I pushed you, and Garnett backed up again and again...

Garnett is not as wild as Liu Mang when it comes to statistics. In the last game against the Bobcats, he was almost overturned by the Bobcats due to his blocking. This time, Garnett waited until he had a 20-point lead before starting to collect blocks. Garnett only got 1 block during the garbage time. In addition to the 1 block played normally in the first half, Garnett only had [-] blocks before being sent out!

Garnett didn't expect Noah, a rookie, to be so aggressive...
