From today on is the king

Chapter 856 855. The Best Gift
The Eagles' home game against the Knicks is about to start.

On the Knicks' bench, Marbury and others saw what the Eagles were busy with. A group of players gathered together to discuss, and the discussion didn't seem to be related to the game. Marbury was angry when he saw it.

Completely ignore them!

But seeing the lifeless look of his teammates, with the expressions of "losing again" written on their faces, Marbury also felt deep despair.

Originally, Larry Brown came, and Marbury still had some expectations at the beginning of the season. Their lineup has been strengthened this season, and they forcibly acquired Jamal Crawford from the Bulls. They also have Larry Brown, the head coach who has reached the finals and made the playoffs last season.

But they probably forgot that the previous coach Lenny Wilkens was no worse than Larry Brown in any respect.

Lenny Wilkens has also reached the finals three times, won a championship once, won a total of more than 1300 regular season games and is the first in history...

After replacing Larry Brown, the Knicks collapsed directly. Up to now, they have won a total of 7 games, 7 wins and 18 losses. They are only better than the records of the Hornets, Bucks, and Raptors, ranking fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

The main reason is that Larry Brown and the Knicks players can't get along at all, and they curse at every turn. The Knicks nursing home has finally opened completely, and they all look like they love to win.

Marbury is also considered a player with a heart. Now he feels a deep sense of despair, but he is powerless. He is at most a first-class star, similar to Francis. If he does not have a teammate who is particularly good off the ball, he must be matched with a particularly suitable teammate, such as a pitcher like Alan Houston.

As the season progressed, Marbury gradually got used to this despair...

……

Liu Mang instructed his teammates to prepare the things to do after winning the game, and then called them together.

"Ahem, today is Dana's birthday, right? So, you all have to pass the ball to me!" Liu Mang strongly showed his majesty as the boss.

"Hey, you are a point guard, what can we do if you don't pass the ball?" Jason Terry gave Liu Mang a blank look, "How many times have you passed the ball this year? Tracy gave us the ball every time."

Liu Mang said angrily, "Jason, do you think I am this kind of person?"

Jason Terry nodded seriously: "You are."

"..."

"Okay, okay, Ace, I'll pass the ball to you, you just make the shot, don't delay me from becoming the assist king." McGrady said disgustedly.

Looking at McGrady, Liu Mang really couldn't refute. Who told McGrady to pass the ball this season, and his shooting percentage was particularly high. He averaged 9.2 shots per game, 5 times, and 4.1 free throws. McGrady's true shooting percentage this season broke [-]%.

Although Liu Mang also has a 40.00% field goal percentage, which is as high as 50.00% field goal percentage, but compared with McGrady's field goal percentage, only Kwame Brown can compare with the Hawks, and Kwame Brown's true shooting percentage is almost 70.00%.

Liu Mang and McGrady are regarded as models of mutual achievement, but in terms of efficiency, McGrady is much higher. There are fewer unnecessary shots and more passes, and Liu Mang is willing to shoot wildly. The two fit perfectly.

Tracy McGrady and Jason - Terry have no objection, others certainly do not have an opinion.

Liu Mang sharpened his sword and prepared to slaughter, but he still needed a strategy. Liu Mang called his teammates together and said a few more words.

The more the teammates listened, the weirder their expressions became...

……

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the game, which was not broadcast live on any TV station, was about to begin.

With a roar from Rasheed Wallace, Prince began to twist his body, McGrady carefully applied chalk powder on his palms and fingers, Liu Mang sprinkled chalk powder into the air, and the two teams started their debut!
The Eagles sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Knicks lineup also looks very strong, a combination of Marbury, Crawford, Tim Thomas, Jerome Williams, and Kurt Thomas.

Accompanied by the cheers of the fans at the scene, Kwame Brown came to the middle circle to jump the ball with endless fighting spirit.

Claiming to be the No. [-] center in the Eastern Conference has already stirred up the topic. Almost all the news today is about Kwame Brown. Except for the initial period when he entered the NBA and became a parallel importer, it has been three years since he dominated the websites and newspapers of major news media for the first time.

Just playing the Knicks... It's true that no TV station is willing to broadcast live, which makes Liu Mang feel very regretful.

O'Neal hasn't responded yet, but Kwame Brown is really popular, and he also attracted Kobe fans. According to the reporter, a large number of Los Angeles and California fans went to major polling places to vote for Kwame Brown.

Kobe didn't respond, because he didn't mention him directly. Liu Mang estimated that there must be laughter coming from Kobe's bathroom all day long.

The referee chooses the ball and comes to the field, directs the two teams to stand, and after they are all standing, blows the whistle to start the game and throws the ball into the air.

Excited Kwame Brown slammed up and pushed the ball back.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he immediately passed it to McGrady and ran towards the frontcourt.

The Knicks retreated too slowly. After Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, there was no one who retreated in place. McGrady lobbed the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang scored two points with an easy dunk.

Watching Larry Brown yelling on the sidelines at the beginning of the game, Liu Mang mourned for the old coach for two seconds.

The last time they played against each other, the Knicks still had a bit of momentum. Now, Marbury is the one with the Knicks' fighting spirit.

Crawford played on bad teams all the year round. In the first four seasons of his career, there was no season where he was not in the top three picks. When he first came to the Knicks, he thought it was a playoff team and the coach of the finals.This drop is so violent that Crawford now catches the ball and throws it away.

The Eagles took advantage of the mentality of the Knicks to carry out a high-speed rotation defense. The Knicks had a big difference in passing the ball compared to the last time they played against each other.

That is to say, the Knicks have a good lineup, and they averaged 97 points per game in a few games. It's just that Larry Brown is a defensive coach, and the Knicks averaged as high as 102 points per game!
The Eagles made consecutive counterattacks, starting with a 17-7 scoring shock wave, which caused Larry Brown to call a timeout.

4 to 17 in 7 minutes, the Eagles scored and exploded again.

Among them, 13 points were scored by Liu Mang!4 points were scored by Kwame Brown.

After the Knicks called a timeout, the offense seemed to be "improving". After Larry Brown started swearing again, the Knicks started to pass the ball. This pass really "teared" the Eagles' defense.

After the first quarter, the Hawks led the Knicks by 35 points 24-11. Liu Mang scored 19 points in the first quarter. After the first timeout, he was double-teamed by the Knicks, even without the ball.

In the next game, the Knicks looked like they broke out today. They played very well and kept clinging to the point difference.

Playing until the end of the third quarter, the Eagles still only led 87 to 75 by 12 points, maintaining a lead of about 10 points, but they did not widen the point difference.

Liu Mang scored 44 points in three quarters. It was really difficult to score. Marbury and Crawford on the Knicks side, as well as Anfernee Hardaway, who played in rotation, all attacked him infinitely.

Liu Mang secretly sighed that luckily he was smart enough to tell his teammates not to widen the point difference too much. Otherwise, it would not be easy for a team like the Knicks to score points without any rules.

First of all, he and the Knicks have too much animosity. Opponent players will definitely double-team him when they see him wanting to score points. The Knicks are playing badly now, and they don’t even have the momentum at the beginning of the season.

Of course, once the Knicks' shots were accurate and Liu Mang had a better shot, McGrady would use Liu Mang to contain the defense and pass the ball to others to widen the point difference to more than 10 points, and then let Liu Mang score.

The Knicks don't have the defensive strength that the Bulls can seize the opportunity to win, and McGrady, who is getting more and more charged, is playing with the applause.

The Knicks still felt happy that the hell they were able to close the point difference with a strong team today. Marbury was one of them. He was desperate at first, but who knew there was hope!So I have been working hard, and I have already scored 37 points in three quarters. The personal score is not far behind Liu Mang, which makes Marbury more motivated.

It's just that after the fourth quarter...Marbury's whole body is not good, he can see that the Eagles are playing them!
Because the Eagles reached the fourth quarter, played three or four minutes, and opened the point difference to more than 4 points!Marbury didn't score a point in the first 20 minutes of the fourth quarter, and was blocked by McGrady!
Liu Mang has become a super big wave today. After three quarters, he has played 31 minutes and has already thrown 30 times. He got 30 of 14 shots, which means he has a shot almost every minute of playing time...

Fortunately, the shooting rate was good, the Knicks did not double-team as well, and Liu Mang scored 44 points in three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Coach Kruger originally wanted Liu Mang to rest and let McGrady play with others, and he could easily win the game, but Liu Mang wanted to score points, even using the reason of "daughter's birthday", so Coach Kruger could only continue to replace Liu Mang.

This time, the Knicks double-teamed Liu Mang without the ball, and all three with the ball.

In the fourth quarter, Liu Mang finally started to hit the iron continuously, but the point difference was opened up a little bit, because Liu Mang played singles at the top arc, and the Eagles grabbed 4 rebounds and 2 rebounds under the basket.

With 1 minute left in the game, Liu Mang finally scored his 20th goal of the game. He made a three-point shot and broke 60 points, scoring 61 points!
Liu Mang threw 15 times in the final quarter, made 6 shots in total, and scored 17 points in a single quarter...

The Knicks stopped attacking, and dribbling wasted time. Liu Mang felt so hopeless. He already led 118 to 98 by 20 points. It was impossible to foul and score points!

It's okay to score points normally. The Knicks were scored 60+ by Liu Mang last season, and they already have the psychological endurance. If they deliberately foul and score points... they must not fight.

The Eagles didn't press the defense anymore. Before Liu Mang scored 60 points, they will work harder, but Liu Mang has already scored 61 points, and there are dozens of seconds left, and it is impossible to score 70 points...

As the Knicks used up 24 seconds of attack time and threw the ball out of bounds, coach Kruger also waited for the dead ball to replace Liu Mang after Liu Mang scored 61 points.

Liu Mang sadly heard the reminder of mission failure and was replaced.

"Ding... I will give you all the missions in the world that I can give..."

He scored 46 points on 20 of 61 shots. For the first time, Liu Mang felt so heartbroken to score 60+...

……

Liu Mang scored 61 points. He failed to set a new record for his personal highest score in a single game, but he set a new record for the Eagles' home player!The Eagles scored 60 points in a single game for the first time in team history!
Phillips Arena has never witnessed 60+ in a single game, but has witnessed 50+ in a single game several times, and most of them were created by Liu Mang. Before that, Liu Mang maintained 57 points in a single game, which was the highest score ever seen in Phillips Arena. But since Wilkins also scored 50+ here before, it is not a special thing.

But now, Liu Mang scored 61 points in a single game, making Phillips Arena also have a performance feast of 60+ in a single game!
The scene was already crazy when Liu Mang scored the last three-pointer. Liu Mang took a look and saw that little Lolita was also dancing and cheering. Although he was heartbroken when he was replaced, he was still very happy, mainly because he was very happy to see little Lolita.

In fact, as long as Liu Mang performs well, Dinah will be very happy. The key to making little Lolita happy is not how many points she gets.

How much you score is just a matter of whether there is any punishment.

Liu Mang went back to the bench and looked carefully at the countdown task description that said failure and the penalty time had already started. The penalty did not say that he did not break his scoring record, and Little Lolita would be upset.

Failure penalty, just saying he will be unlucky for a week.

The Eagles ran out of time on the last attack and didn't take any more shots. They beat the Knicks 118 to 98 with a 20-point difference.

刘莽拿到61分3板，麦迪拿到11分12板15助攻，夸梅-布朗拿到21分20板的双20数据，和刘莽一起刷数据刷得贼开心。

After the game, the live DJ asked the fans not to leave immediately, there was a big event.

Seeing that the teammates had already gone to get the banners for Dinah that had been prepared earlier, the team's press officer also called the media over, took the microphones, and Liu Mang put aside the punishment for mission failure.

Liu Mang came to the position facing the technical stage and took the microphone: "Today is the cutest and most beautiful girl in our family, Dinah-Savisia's 10th birthday. I got 61 points today. I think this is the best gift I can give Dinah!"

After Liu Mang started to "confess" the little Lolita, his teammates unfurled the "Happy Birthday Dinah" banner, which Liu Mang and his teammates found in the arena in the afternoon and ordered it quickly at a shop that usually makes banners for fans.

Dinah, Levia, and Alexia planned to go home after the game and wait for the guests to come to the party, but they didn't expect this!

The little loli girl who turned 10 years old today was heartbroken and burst into tears with excitement. Everyone cheered and sang the birthday song. The little loli almost ran towards the court, but they were seated at the back. Christine Wagner, the bodyguard, stopped the little loli from moving to avoid accidents. No, if Liu Mang hadn't ordered the security in advance to protect Dinah and the other four after the game, the fans next to her would have rushed up. .

After Liu Mang said that the 60+ is a birthday gift for little Lolita, he was about to leave the court in style. He didn’t know whose handkerchief floated to Liu Mang’s side. Liu Mang turned around and stepped on it, and his body turned forward again.

The fans at the scene were singing the birthday song, but they suddenly fell silent as if they were being strangled.

Dinah was crying excitedly and saying thank you to the excited fans beside her. When she saw Liu Mang fell, her tears stopped...

The scene was quiet for two seconds. Seeing Liu Mang getting up and running towards the player tunnel, he stepped on a puddle of sweat and almost fell to the ground. Finally, the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter...

Marbury, who was about to leave in the player tunnel of the visiting team, was finally happy when he saw Liu Mang falling so badly and getting 60+ by Liu Mang.
