From today on is the king

Chapter 223

The Suns have Marbury and Marion, who has an ability value of 85 and has already entered the ranks of first-class players, but the Eagles have a better Raheem, and Jason Terry, who is not much worse than Marion, and Liu Mang, the best sixth man and the first favorite!

In the confrontation, Liu Mang and Jason Terry's double shooter combination resisted the offensive impact led by Marbury, and Raheem and Marion faced each other when hitting the rebound. In the confrontation, the two teams played equally.

But when one side cools down, the Hawks have an advantage. Marion’s ability to play singles is very strong on fast breaks, good air cuts, accurate three-pointers, and good second offense, but compared to Raheem and Jason Terry in singles. The Suns only have Marbury and Penny who are good in singles. When he handed over the ball, his teammates couldn't shoot, so he started to swing by himself. This is the only thing that Marbury's offense can be criticized at its peak.

After playing, the Eagles' advantage came out. In the second half of the second quarter, the shooters on both sides suddenly felt cold while running. The Eagles quickly replaced Ratliff and began to play positional battles.

At this time, Gugliotta received two consecutive points from Marbury and failed to make a shot. Marbury began to play in individual singles. Ratliff was not pulled out by Gugliotta. The defensive dominance of the basket king for two consecutive years began to show, and Marbury was given two big blocks in a row.

On the other hand, Raheem singled Marion and Penny hit consecutively, and suddenly opened the point difference to more than 5 points, thus establishing an advantage.

After halftime, the Eagles led the Suns 59 to 52, entering the second half with a 7-point advantage.

In the third quarter of the game, Marbury, who played the first half, had a few minutes of rest. Penny Hardaway of the Suns brought Joe Johnson, Outlaw, John Wallace and Chakalidis to the field.

For the Hawks, Liu Mang continued to run with a small lineup of Emmanuel, Chris Crawford, Newbell, and Alan Henderson!
Although the Eagles' lineup doesn't have any three-point ability, they can all run and rush, and their physical fitness is excellent, just to bully the Suns with a slow center of [-] meters.

Penny Hardaway looked at Liu Mang, who was running all over the field and sweating wantonly. Although his movements were not so elegant, he felt that various scoring methods inside and outside the line were gradually maturing.

In a team like the Suns, it doesn't mean that the core is not good enough, it doesn't mean that the lineup is not good enough, but there is no chance like it was six or seven years ago, and there is no chance for the combination of Penny and Superman to compete for the championship.

Now Penny, who can only play as a starter in a weak team, has already given birth to the idea of ​​hugging a thigh after the end of this contract.

When it came to the contract, Pence felt wronged. Everyone said that he wanted to renew his big contract in 1996, and the Magic forced O'Neal away. However, in 96, the contract extension he got was 3 million for three years.

The real big contract was not obtained in 96, but the 99-year 7 million obtained by joining the Suns and Kidd in 8600.

In the 99-00 season, the combination of Penny, who was still at the tail end of his peak at that time, plus super defensive giants Clifford Robinson and Kidd was the second time he was close to the championship. In the first round, he swept the defending champion Spurs 3-1. At that time, many people thought that the Suns had a chance to win the championship, but they were killed by the Lakers.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, the head coach of the Suns was called Danny Ainge, and he was also good in coaching.

The current Penny is no longer that wind spirit, his legs with more and more injuries can't keep up with Liu Mang's footsteps, and Liu Mang directly cuts off the ball when he breaks through for a layup again!
Liu Mang blocked the block again!
Emmanuel and Chris Crawford don't have the counterattack awareness of Jason Terry and Raheem, but it doesn't matter, you can quickly play on the third line!

Joe Johnson and Outlaw reacted quickly and returned to the defense. Liu Mang rushed to the front court and took three big steps, holding the ball with one hand and making continuous feints.

Liu Mang's slow-motion Eurostep has put many opponents on the defensive, especially Joe Johnson, who has been teased before. He and Outlaw are guarding the back and the other is guarding the basket, pinching Liu Mang's squirming singles layup.

Sure enough, Liu Mang made a one-handed layup on the third step after two steps. The hand was fully extended and it looked as if he was about to throw the ball to the basket. This action seemed impossible to hold the ball. Outlaw and Joe Johnson were tricked into flying together, but Liu Mang grabbed the ball firmly and took it back!
Before he knew it, Liu Mang didn't pay much attention to it. His hands had become very big, and he could control the 36D with one hand... No, he could just throw the ball with one hand!
Liu Mang passed back to Chris Crawford who was following up from the free throw line. Chris Crawford took off unreasonably, smashing the contemporary Jordan in the air and smashing the ball into the basket!
The referee whistles!Contemporary Jordan blocking fouls in the air!

The strength gap between the two sides began to become prominent!
Marbury's impression is still in the last time the two teams played against each other. He thought that the Eagles, who had played several games in a row and were collectively exhausted and out of order, were just as strong as they were.

Less than halfway through the third quarter, Liu Mang brought a few substitutes to widen the point difference to close to 15 points, forcing Marbury to play early. Originally, the time from the third quarter until the official timeout was the time for the second point of possession, Penny Hardaway.
Marbury played here, Jason Terry and Raheem replaced Emmanuel and Newbell, and Ratliff also replaced Alan Henderson.

Jason Terry took what Liu Mang joked before the game seriously, and tried his best to beat Marbury in scoring!As for assists... ahem, they don't exist, just let Liu Mang and Rahim get assists.

Since Marbury can't be guarded, Liu Mang and the Eagles are all thinking about it, so they can't be guarded. It depends on who can't attack. Raheem and Jason Terry are both inside and outside.

If you want to play fast break, I'm sorry, without Kidd and Nash, Liu Mang is the best counterattack arrow!

Although Marbury scored 23 points and 11 assists in three quarters, it looked like another game with almost 30+15 data, but in terms of score, the Eagles gradually widened the point difference from the second quarter, leading by 85 to 67 by 18 points after three quarters!
At the start of the final quarter, Liu Mang easily controlled the ball across the half.

"We're going to win, and your organized attack is useless." Liu Mang continued to influence Marbury's mentality. It's one thing whether it's useful or not, but since you've been scolded to death by trolls, let's continue on the road of the king of trash talk!Maybe after retiring, he is really regarded as one of the trash talk kings.

"What are you proud of! Don't you rely on the strength of your teammates!" Marbury was very annoyed at Liu Mang's "little man's success", and he was unhappy seeing Liu Mang's happy appearance after scoring 9 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists!

"Oh, I'm really envious that you have teammates like Marion and Gugliotta. Just Jason and Sharif. If you really want to take it, you just know how to grab data from me." Liu Mang continued to spray.

Raheem, who was about to come over to pick and roll Liu Mang, turned around and left. Liu Mang's voice was not low, and Jason Terry in the bottom corner burst out with veins on his forehead. Raheem walked away not out of anger, but because he was afraid that he could not help but abuse food on the court.

Marbury was stunned by Liu Mang's words. Of course, from his tone, Marbury knew that Liu Mang was showing off, but what happened to Rahim?This is going to come to the pick and roll or go straight away?

"Look, let's see, you have no idea how bad our relationship is, otherwise we would have been number one in the league." Liu Wei continued to challenge Marbury's worldview, "But it's not bad, we can beat you anytime we can win!"

Liu Mang wants to score!Although the 8 assists set a new personal high, the coach is already preparing to replace the main force after a short play in the fourth quarter, so as to avoid the unethical reputation of continuing to use the main force after winning 20 points.

Marbury's single defense, seriously, is really that good. Well, Marbury's serious single defense is indeed at a very first-class level. Liu Mang didn't have much chance to perform in singles today. He was restricted by Marbury, but Jason Terry got a lot of open opportunities.

As far as Liu Mang's tone of voice, that kind of ostentatious attitude, as expected, Marbury couldn't bear it anymore, and posted it as an oppressive defense!

coming!

After waiting for most of the game, Liu Mang played from the middle of the first quarter, only rested for 3 minutes in the second quarter, and played the full third quarter. Liu Mang, who has never found a chance to foul Marbury, took advantage of the opportunity to stick to Marbury.

Depend on!Marbury didn't react until he saw Liu Mang's actions. He had been on guard all day to avoid being fouled, but he still fell for it!This stinky and shameless rookie wants to touch porcelain...Huh?What does Pingci mean?
"Beep..."

The referee whistled, and Marbury was so angry that he walked up and down the field, walking up and down, afraid that he couldn't help hitting someone...

Liu Mang stood at the free throw line, probably because his character was a bit lost, and he had to rely on free throws to save his character. He only hit the last of the 3 free throws and scored in double figures!

After playing for a while, although Marbury was very upset and wanted to continue to fight, the head coach of the Suns, Frank Johnson, saw that the situation was irreversible. Unlike Marbury, who used to be confident and always couldn't see the world. Coach Frank Johnson knew from the beginning that the Hawks were lucky last time. The ability to abuse food with a steady beep occupies the first place in the East.

Sure enough, the Suns replaced the main players first, and coach Kruger also replaced the main players. With 10 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, Liu Mang managed to maintain a small record of consecutive double figures.

In the end, driven by Jason Terry's 36 points and Marbury's 25+11 performance, the Eagles beat the Suns 106-91 and won the last two-game winning streak before the All-Star Weekend, raising their record to 37 wins and 16 losses.

……

"Ace, I'm booking a hotel. Do you want a suite with 4 rooms? God, how many women are you going to bring to Philadelphia? Okay, you're amazing! Be careful that Uncle Callahan is looking for you desperately... Haha, I'm not joking with you, I'll go and book the hotel first... Yes, I remember the Hilton International Hotel has a multi-bedroom presidential suite. When the time comes, you can just bring your passport.

Liu Mang hung up the phone with a slap, this unscrupulous Rahim has some dirty things in his head, really, if he can take four women with him...it seems pretty good.

It's just a pity that I only brought three, and the other one is the little loli Dinah who wants a separate room or sleeps in Liu Mang's room.

In order to avoid the tragic experience of sleeping on the sofa when staying in a hotel, Liu Mang decisively had the cheek to ask for the presidential suite, and he still needed four rooms.

"Ace, have you watched your stuff?" Alexia and the landlady's mother and daughter came to Liu Mang's door carrying a lot of boxes.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Liu Mang put on a backpack, put some underwear and socks, and prepared to go out with his mobile phone and computer.

"Wait, Ace, you didn't bring your suit? You didn't bring your coat?" The beautiful landlady exclaimed in surprise when she saw the suit hanging on the hanger at Liu Mang's door, the leather shoes on the shoe rack, and the two or three coats that had just been washed and brought in on the sofa.

As a very close neighbor, Levia knows that this young man who played in the NBA before finishing college only has two or three sets of clothes.

"When the time comes to play games, you don't need to bring a suit!" Liu Mang really didn't think so much.

"You are an All-Star! There will be a press conference, so of course you have to dress more formally!" Levia took Liu Mang's suitcase from the top of the closet with ease.

Alexia's eyes flashed, and she also walked in, tidied up the suit, put it in Levia's opened suitcase, and then went to the sofa to pick out a coat.

"Ace, why are your coats still the same ones as when you were studying?" Alexia was a little dissatisfied, they were too much like the clothes worn by students, and she didn't look like a big star.

Liu Mang himself does not have the concept of a big star. How long has it been? In half a year, he has gone from a student who just finished his sophomore year to an NBA All-Star and the third most popular guard in the Eastern Conference. It is the same as McGrady's dream when he first entered the NBA was to buy a brand new sports car. There is no such concept.

"This, I think it's pretty good, and I don't have time to buy it." This is the truth, being stingy is one thing, but it is true that after the weather turns cold, the season has begun and the schedule has become more and more compact. Apart from playing games and training, I don't have much time to go shopping.

"When we get to Philadelphia, let's go shopping together! Buy some clothes for Ace... Ace pays for it himself. The two of us, a single mother and an intern, have no money." Levia made a decisive decision.

"Good idea! Philadelphia is much more prosperous than Atlanta, let's go shopping!" The woman was very excited when she heard the word shopping.

Whether to buy or not is one thing, but shopping is another.

What a strong breath!Liu Mang really didn't dare to refuse!I can only silently feel sorry for my wallet, although the two women are not the kind of people who will spend other people's money, needless to say Levia, a rich woman, if Alexia loves money, she will have already received a lot of money, and she still needs to work hard every day.

However, it costs money to buy clothes yourself!
"Uncle, are you thinking that women are really troublesome?" Dinah said, pulling Liu Mang's trouser leg.

"Yes...ah no!" As soon as Liu Mang was about to say yes, he felt two murderous eyes. Liu Mang hugged Dinah and said sincerely: "Your uncle, I like shopping and buying clothes the most..."

In the process of the two beauties nodding in satisfaction and unsatisfied with a few coats and pulling up the suitcase one by one, Dinah Lolita looked contemptuously at Liu Mang with a little lolita hanging on his chest, a big suitcase in one of his left and right hands, and a bag on his elbow as he set off towards the parking lot...
