1051. Where is the law of heaven?(1/3)
After Liu Mang scored 82 points, most of the fans had left. By the end of the game, except for some die-hard Clippers fans who had grabbed tickets, and a very small number of Chinese fans and Liu Mang fans, there were not many people left.
, there were only six to seven thousand people left at the scene.
Before the start of the season, Clippers fans had no idea that their team would rise, and they didn't go to compete with Lakers fans for tickets to the Hawks game. Lakers fans were just waiting for Liu Mang to come to Los Angeles twice a year to boo him properly.
So it was obviously a home game for the Clippers, but there were only about 5,000 Clippers fans present.
But the rest were all defeated by Liu Mang!
Even Clippers fans were impressed by Liu Mang!
Being able to witness 90 points in a single game with my own eyes, even my opponent is convinced!
Moreover, Kobe Bryant scored 80 points yesterday, which has prepared the Clippers fans mentally. And because Liu Mang scored higher than Kobe Bryant, the Clippers fans were a little cheeky and visited the sidelines after the game.
At that time, he said loudly: "This is because our defense is too bad. Kobe is like that. He only scored 80 points. Ace is at his normal level!"
Brand was also convinced by Liu Mang, and came over with Cassel and Maggette to hug Liu Mang and greet him.
In this game, the Clippers played more purely from the second half on. From psychology to behavior, they worked hard to win. If they lost, there was nothing they could do.
"Ace, congratulations. I saw a perfect performance. I think the best player in the world is probably you. Come on, kill the Lakers!" Brand and Liu Mang hugged.
"Ace, congratulations." Maggette, whose arms were thicker than Liu Mang's legs, also came to give him a hug.
"Thank you." Liu Mang did not expect that the three core members of the Clippers team would come back to congratulate him.
Cassel came up last and hugged Liu Mang.
"Sam, I'm curious, why didn't you guard me on the last ball? If you guarded me, I would have no chance to shoot." Liu Mang was very concerned about this issue.
Of course, being able to make a shot depends on your own ability. Open shots are still the kind of open shots that Alexander can score 90 points. Another person may not be able to make the shot.
Not to mention such a huge pressure, just open three-pointers cannot be scored every time. After experiencing a lot of confrontations in the game, open three-pointers can have a three-point shooting rate of over 40%.
He's a top pitcher.
"Anyway, you scored 87 points. Three more points doesn't matter, and it's ten points more than Kobe! He's already unhappy." Cassell expressed the feelings of the Clippers players.
When Liu Mang made his last shot, the Clippers had a tacit understanding and did not come up to attack him. The game was lost anyway, and Liu Mang still scored so many points. We might as well let Liu Mang surpass Kobe by a little.
Watching Cassel leave after hugging him, Liu Mang felt something different.
Some players are so pure. Brand is one of them. The last time I saw such a pure player was Nowitzki.
Others, not much.
However, Cassell is a little different from other Clippers players in that he is very direct.
Cassell really couldn't stand the way Kobe Bryant grew up in luxury, grew up in Europe, became the best high school student in Pennsylvania immediately after returning to the United States, was selected and traded to the Lakers at the age of 17, became an All-Star in his second year... everything...
It's so jealous.
Appearance is sometimes really a problem. Cassell has been disliked since he was a child, which makes him even more jealous of people like Kobe.
Of course, Cassel was jealous of many people, so no matter which team he joined, he ended up on bad terms, and his relationship with his teammates was average.
But... Cassel is so strong that he can't stand up to him! He helps the team reach the top wherever he goes, including the Rockets, Timberwolves, Clippers... it's the same.
The core three of the Clippers were chatting as they walked toward the home team's tunnel.
"Elton, we are tenth in the Western Conference." Maggette said depressedly.
This is what the Western Conference is like. Lose one game and go from sixth to eighth. Lose two games and go from sixth to tenth.
"Haha, it's okay, we will definitely enter the playoffs!"
After Brand was traded to the Clippers, his dream was to help the Clippers reach the playoffs, so he sincerely congratulated Liu Mang, because the goals they pursued were very different, and Brand was
He is called captain not only because of his strength, but also because he really loves this team. In the summer of 2003, the Heat invited him to play in Miami with an offer of 85 million for 5 years. He chose to stay for 80 million for 5 years.
Otherwise, the Heat might be able to form a combination of Wade, Brand, and O'Neal if they are in full swing.
It has always been a pleasure working with Bill Duffy and Brand, who are loyal to their character.
Brand dedicated his entire peak period to the Clippers until...he suffered a season-ending injury in the 2007-2008 season. After his return, the Clippers did not renew his contract.
From beginning to end, no matter how bad the Clippers were, Brand always stuck with him until he was abandoned.
…
Liu Mang waved to the fans at the scene and asked Little Lolita and Levia to take his father to the VIP lounge to wait for him. Alexia had already given instructions to the fans to leave after a while.
It's almost over. After his interview and physical therapy, we will go back to the villa together.
At the press conference after the game, Liu Mang was asked about his thoughts on scoring 90 points.
Liu Mang said with a very casual look: "This is a very simple thing! Just throw the ball and it goes in. Others don't know, Kobe should understand this feeling. But 80 points is too boring, and I
Kobe can get it casually, I just want to get 90 points, it needs to be a little different from Kobe."
Coach Kruger rolled his eyes on the sidelines. Who keeps shooting before the game to find the touch?
Who made a lot of promises to his teammates, saying that he would help his teammates pass the ball and score goals in the future?
"Ace, you already scored 82 points when you played 43 minutes. Based on your performance of 16 points in the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, it seems that if you have a chance to score 100 points in the last five minutes, you will try.
A hundred points better than Chamberlain?" The ESPN reporter still wanted Liu Mang to cause trouble.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today's ratings are so explosive! Even if it is broadcast live on the three major TV stations, almost every TV station has reached the highest ratings for a single game this season.
"Well... to be honest, I'm not very interested in scoring. It's just that my girlfriend, my parents, and my children came to Los Angeles just to see me in such a great arena like Staples Center.
During the game, the Clippers asked me to spend 120,000 yuan to buy tickets and didn't give me tickets, so I was a little angry. If I get 100 points... leave it to Kobe, I have no interest."
Coach Kruger said: Keep pretending! If the opponent hadn't double-teamed you endlessly for more than three minutes, wouldn't you have wanted to score 100 points?
The questions that followed were similar, and Liu Mang's answers were similar, madly criticizing Kobe and putting pressure on Kobe.
…
However, Liu Mang said that he did not want to get 100 points. He said this and looked very confident that he could get 100 points.
But I really don’t want to do it again.
55 shots, not physically tired, but mentally tired!
The feeling of forcing oneself to shoot in order to shoot, and counting the number of points scored by oneself, loses the fun that basketball should have.
And because of his willfulness, the team almost lost the game accidentally. If Liu Mang hadn't been feeling so good today, taking such a large number of shots, and his three-point shooting rate reached 50%, the team would have lost long ago.
.
Liu Mang felt like he was almost losing! Especially after the third quarter, he felt like he was really going to lose.
The Clippers were widened instead of narrowing the point difference halfway through the third quarter. Their confidence began to collapse, their willpower could no longer support them, and their physical strength collapsed. They only scored 4 points in the last few minutes, and scored less than 20 points in the fourth quarter.
After a collapse, the Eagles closed the game.
Liu Mang felt that if he made even one less three-pointer and was tied by the opponent, the Clippers would gain greater momentum.
Or in the fourth quarter, Iguodala and Josh Smith's combined nine offensive rebounds in a single quarter were one or two less, and the Hawks were finished.
Liu Mang clearly understood the bad impact that his scoring increase had on the team. The other players were all cold. The Clippers could double-team at will and others could shrink the basket. The Eagles could only rely on rushing for rebounds and Liu Mang's shooting.
Score a shot.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang felt incredible about Kobe's original 81 points!
Liu Mang scored 90 points simply because he took advantage of the team's advantage. The Hawks played well. Even if the Clippers performed exceptionally, the Hawks would not be so tired. Even if they were anxious, it was relatively easy to be anxious and compete for the stars.
But Liu Mang himself took advantage of the team's three outside stars.
When Kobe Bryant played the Raptors, the Lakers did not have much advantage in the original time and space. On the contrary, the Lakers fell behind by nearly 20 points at halftime. Kobe only scored 26 points in the first half and reversed with 55 points in the second half. Liu Mang and Liu Mang were ready at the beginning.
It's very different to score 81 points.
Of course, this is a matter of playing style. From the moment Kobe started playing, even if there was O'Neal in the team, he would play with the ball.
On Liu Mang's side, after having Tracy McGrady, he showed his strength better, combining both with and without the ball. This time, he kept hitting hard with the ball, which was very harmful to the team. Of course, Liu Mang was even more powerful and won
90 points.
It's just that Liu Mang doesn't have the feeling of driving his teammates with high scores. In terms of driving his teammates with high scores, Liu Mang feels that he is not as good as Kobe.
After all, Liu Mang feels that his shooting percentage is still much higher than Kobe.
Liu Mang is not a pure brush like Devin Booker in the future. Liu Mang has no interest in scoring 100 points for the time being. He may have a chance one day, but he insists on getting it like this and almost loses. Liu Mang doesn’t want to do it again.
Once.
…
On the other side, Kobe received the same treatment as Liu Mang last night, and was surrounded by the media.
This time it was Kobe's turn to get angry: "That bastard already scored 90 points, what do you want me to say?"
…
When the Eagles players were interviewed, Jason Terry said that this was too normal. Others had similar answers to Jason Terry's, saying they knew from the beginning that Liu Mang could score as many points as he wanted.
When McGrady saw his 7-point score in an interview, he said: "It's an honor to score 97 points with Ace, which coincides with my selection in 1997."
…
