From today on is the king

Chapter 327 325. The first 50 wins!
To the Eagles offense.

Liu Mang continued to grasp Nash's point of singles, and Liu Mang, who was more and more familiar with the sudden shot combination, once again swayed Nash and rushed to the basket, causing a foul by LaFrentz.

After standing on the free throw line, Liu Mang also made two free throws.

During the transition from offense to defense, and in the process of returning to defense, Liu Mang allowed Ratliff to stay under the basket, and the opponent might not pass the ball.

Sure enough, Nash was still in the mentality of wanting to prove it to the fans, team owners, and head coaches, holding the ball and doing it by himself.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it, and one of the Mavericks' main tactics is to have the star go it alone with the ball.

But this time Nash was influenced by Liu Mang’s continuous trash talking, and became very dissatisfied with the status quo, and continued to work with the ball. Although Nash’s personal offensive ability is very strong, after all, his body is limited, and his combination of one-on-one sudden shots may be one of the strongest players in the league.

This time Nash was stuck very tightly by Liu Mang outside the three-point line and chose to break through. Relying on a slight advantage in speed, Liu Mang stuck very tightly when Nash broke through, giving Ratliff a chance to defend. Under Ratliff's interference, Nash finally missed the shot!
rebound!
Rahim and Muhammad were stuck with Lafrenz, the big white bear, and Liu Mang swung his arms to grab the rebound. That posture was really like a mad dog.

In fact, to grab a rebound that has already been completely blocked by his teammates, Liu Mang's actions are exaggerated, but it reflects his current momentum!

After Liu Mang started to use Ratliff or Muhammad's help defense against Nash, who was single-handed, he defended relatively well.

Next, Nash missed several singles in a row!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Mang used himself to break through the defense attracted by Nash, and distributed the ball to Raheem and Jason Terry. The former went to the basket, and the latter caught the ball from the outside and made mid-range and long-range shots. In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang played a wave of counterattacks.

After playing for more than four minutes, the Eagles played a wave of 14 to 6!

Nash only scored 4 points by making a three-pointer and 3 of 6 free throws!
109 to 108, the Eagles lead by 1 points!
Old Nelson couldn't take it anymore. Yes, he didn't object to players choosing singles independently. He may be the coach who gives players the most freedom in the entire NBA, which is higher than the degree of freedom given to Kobe by Zen Master.

But that must be because you have a high success rate in singles, feel good, and can score consecutive points!

Nash has always been the most obedient and tactical player in the Mavericks lineup. In addition, he played extremely well in the first three quarters, with 24 points and 5 assists in the three quarters, and his shooting percentage was as high as 60.00%.

In the end, I didn't expect Nash to become a domineering force!
Finally, after being overtaken, Old Nelson saw that Nash was still sullenly wanting to [-]v[-] or even [-]v[-], so he couldn't help calling a timeout and replacing Nash!

Liu Mang's plan succeeded!

Trash talk doesn't cost money. I was just trying it out. I didn't expect that Nash, who has not yet reached the pinnacle of life, is even underestimated and dormant, is so vulnerable!

Liu Mang, who has been going smoothly for a long time, probably can't understand the frustration of a player who may be the strongest in the league at the same position but has not been reused. Therefore, even if Nash is such a calm person, his mentality is unbalanced.

Not just those few words from Liu Mang, but Nash’s mental imbalance was caused by being ridiculed by Liu Mang at the beginning, then counterattacked, and then "compliment" by Liu Mang after he came back.

This is the first time for the Eagles to take the lead after being hit by the Mavericks in the first quarter of the game!This wave of counterattacking Eagles players played really well.

However, he was even more "frightened" of Liu Mang, a rookie teammate. Seeing that Nash was completely different from usual, playing so abnormally, the Eagles players looked at each other, and it was written in their eyes that they must not mess with their rookie!
……

On the Mavericks side, Nelson Sr. replaced Nash and LaFrentz. Nash was angry with Nelson, and LaFrentz was because of physical problems.

The Mavericks added Tim Hardaway and Sean Bradley.

Coach Kruger also replaced Ratliff with Newbell first, wanting to take this opportunity to fight back!
However, after returning from the timeout, the Eagles did not get a chance to open the score in one fell swoop.

Although Nash is missing, Tim Hardaway, who came off the bench for the Mavericks, is still very good. Tim Hardaway didn't play very well on bad teams before.

Tim Hardaway's goal at this stage is to assist Nowitzki and Finley to win the championship. The goal of coming up is to dribble the ball across the half court and play a stable three-pointer with 30.00% of his career.

This is the saddest thing about Nash in the Mavericks. Nash has 100% no chance to fully display his strength in the Mavericks, because the Mavericks don’t need a versatile and offensive opener. A player who can play singles, is willing to give the ball, and can catch the ball and shoot open three-pointers is enough. Give them a super point guard who is extremely comprehensive on the offensive end.

After Nash went down, the strength of the Mavericks did not weaken too much. On the contrary, because no one occupied the ball, the singles abilities of Finley and Nowitzki were brought into play.

It's back to the unstoppable situation in the first half!
However, the Eagles have already expected this, so no matter whether the Mavericks play singles or pass a pass, the opponent immediately grabs a rebound and counterattacks!
Even when Nash was away, no one on the Mavericks could keep up with the speed of Liu Mang and Jason Terry!

Although Nash's defense is poor in defense against breakthroughs, he is still very good in defensive counterattacks and fast three-pointers. He can keep up with the speed and is active, but the combination of Griffin and Tim Hardaway is not good.

The two teams returned to the confrontation mode, and the two teams' terrifying continuous scoring state began again.

At the critical moment with 2 minutes left, Raheem turned around and made a layup. The Eagles led 133 to 131 away by two points!

Old Nelson called a timeout!
The game was so intense that Old Nelson had already expected it, but he didn't expect the process to be like this. First, the opponent's main point guard was mentally disabled, and then his own main point guard was also brainless. Anyway, the ending was similar, and Old Nelson didn't care too much.

The Mavericks are not afraid of the style of play at the critical moment!
There is Finley, Nowitzki, and Nash...Old Nelson is still a little angry when he sees Nash. If Nash doesn't start in the fourth quarter with consecutive singles with a fever, and doesn't pass the ball in double-teams, the Mavericks' current advantage is still stable.

Old Nelson has always been a childish head coach, otherwise he would not have resigned after quarreling with Cuban and went to the Warriors to recruit a group of people to black out his old club, and then returned to the Mavericks to continue as the general manager.

Nash was angry for a while, and the old Nelson was angry not to replace Nash at the critical moment, and continued to send Tim Hardaway, Griffin, Finley, Nowitzki and LaFrentz who came back from a break.

……

For the Eagles, coach Kruger replaced Ratliff at a critical moment and played in the regular lineup.

Be steady!

Leading by two points with 2 minutes left, the Eagles tried to be safe.

Back from the timeout, the Mavericks attack.

Liu Mang stepped forward to defend Tim Hardaway, not giving Tim Hardaway room to change direction.

Liu Mang still vividly remembers the scene of being shaken and sitting on the ground when he played against Tim Hardaway last time. At that time, it was still the beginning of the season. As a veteran Tim Hardaway was stable, he needed physical fitness and footwork. But now at the end of the season, the disadvantage of the veteran has appeared.

Liu Mang resisted Tim Hardaway and did not give the opponent room to change direction and break through. Tim Hardaway quickly passed the ball to Finley who ran back. Finley received the ball and singled Raheem. How tired!
Like many players who entered the NBA at the same time as Raheem, it was really difficult to adapt to Raheem for the first time this year. This guy's defense has become surprisingly active, which is completely different from before!
At the critical moment, Finley gave the ball to Nowitzki, who has the best chance in the current matchup situation.

Nowitzki received the ball and singled Muhammad. Today Muhammad was abused by Nowitzki enough, with 33 points and 7 rebounds. Nowitzki shot Muhammad almost to despair.

Liu Mang let go of Tim Hardaway decisively and double-teamed Nowitzki.

Nowitzki did not choose to pass the ball. At critical moments these years, superstars are more willing to choose to do it by themselves. Facing Muhammad and Liu Mang who rushed over, Nowitzki made a two-point fadeaway jumper!
This height, this backwardness, even if Nowitzki has not developed the golden rooster independence of kicking Ding Ding, no one can block it from the front!
Liu Mang knew this very well a long time ago, so... when Liu Mang pounced, the left hand on his body to block the block did not go towards the ball, but stretched out his five fingers and poked Nowitzki's face!

Just ask if you are afraid of it!
Nowitzki was double-teamed by Liu Reck for the first time. In the first three quarters, except for the few minutes when defending Nash, most of the time the double-team Nowitzki was inside. At most, Rahim went up to help defend, so this was the first time Nowitzki faced Liu Reg's help defense.

This wretched defensive tactic, Nowitzki turned his head!

It was this little bit of interference, Nowitzki missed a mid-range shot!
rebound!
Liu Mang, who landed first, rushed in towards the inside, and the Mavericks were also rushing for rebounds!

Ratliff's huge body and big arms pressed Dabairou LaFrentz behind him, Raheem blocked Finley, Liu Mang rushed in and took off the rebound!
After receiving the rebound, Liu Mang immediately counterattacked, and Jason Terry rushed forward.

The Mavericks took precautions against the Hawks’ counterattack during the timeout, so they used Nowitzki as the main player to mobilize one of the opponent’s insiders. In this way, Ratliff had no long pass ability, and he couldn’t make a long pass when he got a rebound. Don't give Jason Terry a chance to catch the ball!
Therefore, Liu Mang pushed forward by himself!Rahim and Muhammad down the wings!

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, and Jason Terry was stuck closely by Griffin. If Jason Terry received a long pass while running back, Griffin would definitely not be able to keep up, but one of the Hawks guards grabbed a rebound.

So Liu Mang crossed the center line without slowing down, rushed straight to the basket, and made a fake pass to the two sides, scaring Finley and Nowitzki from letting go of Muhammad and Rahim. Liu Mang rushed to the basket and flew to the basket to score two points.

135 to 131, the Eagles lead by 4 points!
Now it's the Mavericks' turn to be impatient!

Nowitzki is not yet the super German chariot of the future. He has not yet experienced the tragedy of being blacked out in the MVP season, and his mental capacity is not so strong.

Still miss!

This time, after Muhammad took off the rebound and gave it to Liu Mang, Liu Mang did not rush to break fast, controlled the ball and slowly advanced to stabilize the situation, and then handed it to Rahim for singles.

Grind time, press the rhythm, and run out of time!

And Raheem didn't wither at the critical moment. Although he didn't score a hard hit to the basket, it caused Finley's foul. He went to the free throw line and made two free throws. It's not bad to get 1 point.

With a difference of 5 points and less than 1 minute, the Eagles are stable in this game!
With the Mavericks' strong fast break and no good passers passing the ball, the Mavericks can be regarded as an confession in this game. Using foul tactics on Jason Terry is equivalent to sending points!

In the end, the Eagles defeated the Mavericks away by 140 to 134, 6 points!
With Liu Mang scoreless in the first half, he scored 12 points in the third quarter and 14 points in the final quarter. Together with Jason Terry and Raheem, he led the Eagles to a score of 45-32 in the final quarter and reversed the away game against the Mavericks!

After winning this game, the Eagles won 5 consecutive victories, and their record became 50 wins and 18 losses!Liu Mang's first 50 wins in his career!
26分5助攻外加积极的抢到6个篮板球，刘莽时隔……好久好久之后，再一次拿到20+5+5的数据！
This game gave Liu Mang a very high evaluation in China. Although there was a disappointing performance in the first quarter, there was a second quarter that was frozen.

But the game is all about the results. Liu Mang finally broadcast his regular season in China for the first time. In the second half, the data of 25+6+5 in the half allowed him to build a large fan base ahead of Yao Ming!
