1245. A new kind of dominance!
It was a nightmarish night for Lakers fans.
In just the first quarter of the game, many Lakers fans felt that it was over...
it's all over……
Facing that kind of three-pointer, in addition to fear, there is only a feeling of powerlessness, a complete feeling of powerlessness. I don't know how to defend, I can only rely on feeling to defend... But when the Lakers face Liu Mang like this, they feel like they want to
To give up...
In the first quarter, the game was killed.
Liu Mang scored 30 points in a single quarter. Liu Mang was double-teamed infinitely from the moment he came on the court after a three-minute break in the second quarter.
Later, Liu Mang scored far less than he did in the first quarter, and could only score sporadically, just like Floyd, a non-famous star of the Warriors. Floyd scored 29 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, and then played a full game.
Including one overtime, the total was "only" 51 points.
The Lakers were about to start beating people, but Liu Mang was happy to open up space for his teammates. Winning was his goal. The first quarter was enough for him to accumulate more capital to win the FMVP. He averaged a triple-double per game in the finals...
...It’s not like no one has ever had it. Magic has averaged close to a triple-double in eight Finals games in his career.
And 30 points in a single quarter in the finals is unprecedented!
Liu Mang occasionally stole points, ran faster when counterattacking, and worked hard to cut in and move, which not only helped his teammates open up space, but also found scoring opportunities for himself as much as possible.
Moreover, Liu Mang is a fast runner, so there is still an opportunity occasionally.
At the end of three quarters, the Eagles were 111 to 69, leading by 42 points in the third quarter!
After three quarters, Liu Mang's active running was rewarded. He made a sudden attack and hit four more three-pointers in the second and third quarters. He made 9 of 13 three-pointers in the game! Breaking the record of Scofield.
Pippen and Steve Smith's Finals record of 7 three-pointers in a single game!
Liu Mang made 17 of 27 shots in the three quarters and scored 51 points in the three quarters!
Although he only scored 9 points in the second quarter and was not particularly outstanding in the third quarter, scoring 12 points, his 30 points in the first quarter made Liu Mang the first player in NBA history to score in three quarters of the Finals.
To 50 players!
In addition to fear, the Lakers are still afraid!
This feeling of being dominated by three points has never happened before!
Which player would play like this in the finals?
Although Liu Mang actually only played like that for two or three minutes in the first quarter, and then he looked for opportunities to shoot, but that kind of play left a deep impression on people!
The Lakers had almost given up in the third quarter, giving Liu Mang another chance to score in double figures in a single quarter.
In the fourth quarter, none of the Zen Masters' main players were used. Even Vaughn Weaver, Aaron McGee and others were replaced. They surrendered! Kobe was put on the bench and refused to let him go. In the third quarter, the Eagles
The team continued to go all out and scored 34 points in a single quarter, widening the point difference from 31 points to 42 points. This is because the Lakers are still persisting.
In the end, the Hawks scored 134 points and bloodily slaughtered the Lakers 134-91!
The Celtics beat the Lakers by 39 points in a single game.
Liu Mang can proudly say: I beat the Lakers by 43 points!
…
…
As of the 60th year of NBA history, the number of times the Lakers have participated in the Finals is almost half of the number of times the Western Conference teams have participated in the Finals.
Having played so many finals, they can encounter anything. The Lakers, playing in their 29th finals, have become the backdrop for records again.
The team has a glorious history and will always get wet shoes. No, Liu Mang’s 30 points in a single quarter, 51 points in three quarters, 9 three-pointers in a single game, 5 three-pointers in a single quarter... a lot of historical records,
The Lakers have wet shoes.
Moreover, although Liu Mang's 51 points did not rank among the top five points scored in a single game in the finals, Liu Mang did not play for one quarter!
It is not advisable to score points in garbage time, and if the Lakers are strong, Liu Mang may not be able to score that many points just after the fourth quarter against the Hawks. It is not so accurate from the perspective of not playing in the fourth quarter.
However, fans can imagine and the media can use this as a gimmick!
After four games, the competition between Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady for the Finals MVP seems to have come to an end.
Liu Mang's performance in this finals is unparalleled!
But these are not important. Instead, people focused on Liu Mang's two three-pointers at the beginning of the game and Liu Mang's crazy performance of 9 three-pointers in a single game.
Liu Mang's three-point shooting is usually exaggerated, but it's still within the acceptable range. At least he's playing normally, but he's more accurate than others.
And Liu Mang's three-pointer in this game was completely inhuman!
The movements are like juggling, and the accuracy is like installing a high-tech positioning system, just like performing magic!
Shooting a three-pointer can actually give people the feeling of watching magic!
Moreover, according to media reports, after the game, Liu Mang also practiced three-point shooting for two hours in the training hall...
What kind of motivation is this for a superstar who just scored 51 points in three quarters and scored 9 three-pointers in a single game in the finals? After the game, the interviews were perfunctory and he did not celebrate, but practiced extra!
The fans were shocked and confused, and some of the league's discerning players, management personnel, and coaching staff who were paying attention to the teams in the Finals saw many different things.
The sport of basketball is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
And this change came from Liu Mang!
This does not mean that three-pointers have become important, maybe three-pointers will become popular!
Who doesn't like this style of play?
When three-pointers can achieve dominance, the world of basketball may change!
In this game, Liu Mang really relied on three-pointers to dominate!
In the past, the so-called dominance was nothing more than mid-range dominance, such as Jordan, Kobe, Nowitzki, and Malone, or basket dominance, such as Duncan, O'Neal, and Yao Ming.
The three-pointer is very necessary, but not that important. It was only because of Liu Mang's crazy three-point performance and the three-point craze of the Eagles, Suns, and SuperSonics that league players and coaches gradually paid attention to it.
stand up.
But now, Liu Mang has played a dominant performance in the finals, relying on three-pointers that were often abandoned in the finals!
For fans who like the Eagles and Liu Mang, what they care about is that Liu Mang is so good and the championship is locked this year. For non-Eagles fans and non-Liu Mang fans, they hate why Liu Mang is so accurate.
, all surprised.
For professional basketball players, this is like a dividing line of an era!
In the past regular season, even in the Eastern Conference finals, Liu Mang was only surprised when he hit three points accurately.
But in the decisive battle between the strongest team in the finals, the highest palace of basketball, Liu Mang played the three-pointer with unparalleled dominance. Compared with the inside, he made a strong dunk and made a three-pointer. It was 3 points.
!The feeling of widening the point difference to more than ten points with just a few balls does not make the opponent feel dominated, but makes the opponent feel powerless, confused and afraid!
Chapter completed!
