From today on is the king

Chapter 923 922. MVP's first chance of life (seeking a monthly ticket)
Coach Sloan never expected that he wanted to block Liu Mang from scoring, but made Liu Mang the "Assist King"!
Is this still the "atypical point guard" whose assists per game have dropped to 2.9?

After the start of the second quarter, the Jazz really had no choice but to block the pitchers. The Eagles were about to shoot crazy three-pointers!
Coach Kruger didn't expect his team to be so accurate with three-pointers today!Twelve or thirteen three-pointers in one game is usually the limit. In games where he can make ten three-pointers, he won all games except for the Suns. Today, he scored seven three-pointers in a single quarter!
Coach Kruger decided on his tactics in the second quarter. Liu Mang played with a lineup of two pitchers, a standing center, and an insider with excellent physical fitness.

In the second quarter, Liu Mang found that the opponent didn't dare to double-team, and immediately started the singles mode combined with sudden shots. After the opponent started double-teaming, he began to pass the ball.

Liu Mang scored 13 points and 4 assists in the second quarter, 7 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, and scored 4 points and 2 assists in the fourth quarter. When the outside double-teams, he directly points to the outside line. When the breakthrough encounters a double-team, he passes inside. The simple and rough style of play is mainly accurate outside shots. After adding an additional three-point shooter, in addition to Liu Mang, the Eagles have Korver, Calderon, Person, and Jason Terry. During the game, the Eagles made a total of 17 three-pointers!

In the first three quarters, the Jazz could rely on Boozer, Kirilenko who could score and pass, and Harprin’s singles to keep the point difference within 15 points. The Jazz’s starting lineup was very strong except for the point guard. Without a break, he couldn't stretch himself anymore, and completely collapsed, only scoring 4 points in the half quarter.

The Eagles opened the score to 119 to 95 in one fell swoop, widening the point difference to 24 points!
Coach Sloan reluctantly replaced all the main lineup and announced his surrender.

He wanted to use Liu Mang to rebuild the team's confidence, but failed!

尽管布泽尔拿到33分9板6助攻，基里连科拿到15分6板5助攻5盖帽，奥库拿到22分4板，哈普林18分，替补登场的劳尔-洛佩茨都拿到了18分，爵士队本赛季第一次五人得分上双，但是靠着刘莽31分24助攻6篮板的数据，打破了队史记录的单场17个三分，老鹰队以131比110，21分的分差大胜爵士队！
Liu Mang scored double 20 for the third time in his career, and at the same time increased his record for assists in a single game in the history of the Eagles by another 3, from 21 to 24!
"Ding... The rogue's anger mission is completed, and the reward is 10000 star points."

After the game was over, I sat on the sidelines and watched Calderon lead the first and second grade lineup to finish the garbage time. After the referee blew the final whistle, Liu Mang's moderately difficult task worth 10000 superstar points was completed. In addition to today's data explosion, he got more than 2300 superstar points.

"I want to use my young master as a stepping stone, next time I see you, hit it!"

……

Liu Mang got brutal data in two consecutive games, but... the direction is completely different!
In the last game, he was still a scoring maniac, but in the second game, he became a passing master!

People said that they really couldn't figure out Liu Mang!
What kind of data Liu Mang played, people seem to think it is acceptable now.

He has 60 points in three quarters, and he has almost thirty or twenty performances.

Moreover, people’s focus is not on Liu Reck’s statistics and the Eagles’ victory. From the fans’ point of view, the Eagles’ victory against the Jazz is a matter of course. The game was not broadcast live. The fans only saw the data, but did not see why Liu Reck changed from a scoring maniac to a member of the “rejection” team. Many fans did not even notice that the Eagles rested so many people.

For Liu Mang, 31 points is less than the average score of the past two years, so people feel that Liu Mang has become a member of the "rejection" group today.

31分24助攻6板5失误，主要是24助攻5失误，接近5比1的助攻失误比，以及老鹰队单场17个三分刷新对视记录，还有突然间老鹰队就14连胜了，成了球迷们讨论最多的。

And the discussion is not about this game, but about the next game where the Eagles play the Suns!

Not many people noticed before that the Eagles had won 14 consecutive victories, and the Eagles were about to play against the Suns. The major TV stations vigorously promoted the game between the Eagles and the Suns on the morning of the game. Of course, they had to publicize the strong performance of the two teams.

It was only then that people discovered that the Eagles had won 14 consecutive victories at some point!
At this time, some people began to look forward to whether the Eagles could create the eighth NBA championship winning streak with at least 18 consecutive victories?
The Eagles have won 14 consecutive victories, 48 ​​wins and 7 losses. The Suns have won 9 consecutive victories, 47 wins and 9 losses.

The last time the Eagles lost to the Suns in the game of soaring points, Liu Mang and McGrady both scored brutal statistics in that game, but they still lost to the Suns.

Will there be any changes this time?
In particular, before the game against the Suns, Liu Mang performed brutally in two consecutive games, and showed his scoring ability and the power of breaking through the ball. The Eagles also broke the record of three-pointers in team history.
……

……

After playing the Jazz that night, the Eagles took a chartered plane to the hotel next door in Phoenix, Arizona, where the team had opened the room for two days.

The three states of California, Arizona, and Utah are next to each other. It is regarded as the place where the league takes the most care of the Eagles in this five-day four-game battle. The away flight is at most half an hour.

In fact, although the league has arranged a tight schedule for the Eagles during this period, they have always taken care of it. Originally, the most interesting games this month were the three games against the Timberwolves, Heat, and Mavericks.

Otherwise, this five-day four-game matchup would be the bottom five teams in the Western Conference last season. Although it was a five-day four-game match, a weaker team without Liu Mang's individual ability and limitless core might have to lose a game or two, but this is already the biggest preferential treatment given by the league.

Sleeping until [-] o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang got up and prepared for tonight's game. This time, the hotel where the Eagles stayed had an indoor basketball court, which was reserved by the Eagles. Liu Mang went to practice shooting early in the morning.

McGrady and Rasheed Wallace, who practiced for a while and rested for a few days, also came to practice shooting. They played the first back-to-back game yesterday, and the other players were still sleeping in to recover their strength.

The disadvantage of first- and second-year players is that they are very unstable. Korver had two three-pointers in the first quarter yesterday, and only one in the last three quarters. Jason Terry and veteran Pearson were more stable. Jason Terry made five three-pointers.

But the players in the first and second grades have the advantage of being young, and their physical strength recovers after waking up from sleep.

The Eagles are as fully prepared as possible for the Suns game, but the Suns are having a headache now, how to deal with the Eagles?
Liu Mang played too violently these few games. Originally, Liu Mang only scored and McGrady passed the ball, but when McGrady was resting, Liu Mang actually scored 24 assists in a single game!

Although the Suns have no defense and are not interested in defense, they have to win and score more than their opponents!

Most fans don’t care about the players’ ages or injuries when they watch the game. If they don’t play well, they complain about it. But the players are different from the head coach. The four starters of the Eagles came to Phoenix City ahead of time.

Now the Eagles' outside pitchers are in good condition, and the main players of the Eagles are rested so well. The key is that the Eagles still have a strong desire for revenge. The teams that have won them in the past two years will be retaliated next.

D'Antoni and Nash, who obviously won a game first, now feel that their side is at a psychological disadvantage!
But fortunately, the young players do not have this kind of pressure. This is where D'Antoni and Nash, the two core cores of the Suns, can rest assured. The core lineup of the Suns is younger than that of the Hawks. The counterattack has now become a real strong team in the eyes of fans and the media, and young players are fearless.

……

The preparation time was too short. Liu Mang felt that when he closed his eyes, it was the game last night. As soon as he opened his eyes, it was time for the pre-match interview and warm-up training with the Suns.

After the tactical training in the afternoon, he has been watching the video clips of the Suns' recent games, and the offensive firepower is still so fierce.

The Eagles have also scored a lot of high scores recently, and their scoring average has increased to 110.3 points per game. The Suns are still ranked first in the league with 110.6 points.

McGrady averaged 11.7 assists per game, Nash averaged 11.9 assists per game.

But the MVP ranking. Today is Monday. The just-updated MVP rankings show that Nash was dropped from the No. 14 position in the MVP rankings for the first time this season. Liu Mang ranked No. 1 in the MVP rankings for the first time thanks to his [-] consecutive victories and two consecutive brutal performances.

After the warm-up is over, I am about to enter the field. I watched the two tasks about the Suns, mainly about Nash.

"Season goal: the prelude to the era of running and bombing: the host needs to lead the development of offensive basketball. Mission goal 1: The team where the host belongs to in the regular season needs to get No.1 in the NBA scoring average ranking. Mission reward: 50000 superstar points; 2. To get the regular season MVP, mission reward: a Steve Nash peak star card;

The three objectives of this mission are all in progress. At first, Liu Mang thought that it would be the most difficult to win the assists title and the team’s score to surpass the Suns, but now he realized that the MVP is the most difficult. After Nash arrived in the Suns, the Suns had no other reinforcements. They went directly from the bottom three in the Western Conference last season to the top three in the league. Such a record improvement made Nash’s first MVP a beep!
Liu Mang has no other choice but to continuously increase his scoring average to compete.

On the contrary, the two items of assists and team scoring average are almost completed. McGrady passes the ball accurately, and the Eagles have many scorers. The main reason is that Liu Mang is a passer who may get assists. Nash's average assists per game began to decline in the middle of the season, and McGrady increased with Liu Mang's scoring average.

This task is the goal of the season, and the other task is the current task of this game.

Liu Mang desperately wants to complete the task!
"MVP battle: The host needs to defeat the team led by Steve Nash in the next match against the Suns led by Steve Nash. Task reward: 1 stamina fruit. Failure penalty: Stamina -3."

There are too many things involved in this game. If you lose to Nash twice in the head-to-head match, it will be like the time in 2008 when Chris Paul was the closest to the MVP. Kobe and Paul competed for the MVP for the whole season. With a 30.00% three-point shooting percentage and a 50.00% three-point shooting percentage, he got a quasi-triple-double data of 40.00+29+10 and defeated Paul head-on, completely making the MVP suddenly no suspense.

If Liu Mang loses both games against the Suns, the MVP will basically be useless. With Nash "single-handedly" improving the Suns' record so much, even if the Eagles win another 70 games, it is probably useless. Besides, the Eagles will not fight for the regular season this season. The few players who stayed on the Eagles last season played so many games last season.

Therefore, Liu Mang must win this match!
Lian Zhuang MVP is too difficult, if there is no opponent, it’s okay, like James in 2010 and 2013, and Curry in 2016, no one can compete with them for MVP, so Lian Zhuang MVP is relatively easy.

But with Nash in front of him, the difficulty is different.

Only by winning Nash in this game can the hope of Lianzhuang MVP be kept.

Moreover, playing against the Suns was an exciting game for Liu Mang!

Liu Mang's desperation stance easily attracted these teammates who had played together for almost a season, not to mention the old teammates, it was right to hang out with Liu Mang.

At 15:[-] p.m., the Eagles entered the American West Arena. In [-] minutes, the two major American TV stations will broadcast live across the United States, ESPN Taiwan and Japan in Asia, and court TV, and four or five countries in Europe will start the game.

A game that attracts the attention of the world!
The Eagles were greeted by the Suns fans when they entered the field, and the audience booed a lot.

After the Suns players played, Liu Mang and Nash came to the technical table and shook hands, both of them were full of fighting spirit.

Nash wants to completely lock in the MVP. It is every player's dream to win the MVP and the championship. The MVP is in front of him. There is no reason for Nash not to get it.

Liu Mang wanted to create a little life for his second MVP.

The two didn't have much communication, they said hello, and each went back to their work as the last hot shot before the game started at halftime.

War is imminent!

Ask for a ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket!
