With three All-Stars, one of whom is an All-Star, one of whom ranks third in votes among Eastern Conference guards, and an All-Star head coach, the Hawks suddenly became popular.

The pre-game interview was no longer about Marbury, who had a lot of topics, but it was Liu Mang's turn.

"Wow, Ace, long time no see. Congratulations. You have won the right to participate in almost all all-star games."

A reporter I know very well, but he switched his microphone from Time Warner to ESPN. It seems he has found a new job.

This is the woman! The one causing trouble!

"Oh, thank you, Miss Stark, I haven't seen you for a long time." You still have to be polite.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me, Ace. It's such an honor for me." Melissa Stark smiled.

Nonsense! Even if you turn into ashes, I will remember you! Liu Mang thought with gritted teeth.

Getting to the point, Melissa Stark asked: "Many fans are curious, Ace, how can you participate in so many All-Star games? If possible, would you participate in the dunk contest?"

"That's a good question," Liu Mang smiled, "but if I don't get first place, I won't want to participate that much."

"Ace, you are so confident. Does that mean you want to win the MVP of all games, including the All-Star Game?" Melissa Stark's eyes gleamed, as if she saw the topic again.

"I think we can discuss a little bit about today's game," Liu Mang said helplessly.

Melissa Stark felt a little regretful. Who cares about today's game! But when she thought about Marbury being a topical figure, although not very popular, there was a lot of news, so she asked: "Ace, are you confident that you can beat us today?"

Marbury?"

"We will definitely win today's game, and we will definitely win." Liu Mang was very confident.

Damn! This rookie has learned to be smart, no! He just found a new job, and he has to make some achievements no matter what. Melissa Stark continued to ask: "Ace, are you confident that you can defeat Marbury in a duel?

?”

"Are you talking about scoring? It's possible that I score more than him, but it's hard to say about assists. Everyone knows that I never pass the ball." Liu Mang continued to change the topic.

"...Thank you Ace for accepting the interview." Melissa Stark thought it was better to make up her own story! Rookies are getting more and more difficult to deal with!

…

…

"Ace, that reporter looks good! But don't get involved with reporters, those people are not easy to deal with." Jason Terry first praised Melissa Stark's appearance, and then

reminded Liu Mang.

The main reason was that Liu Mang spent too long talking to the reporter.

In the past, there have been cases where beautiful reporters from TV stations tried to seduce players and talk to them. The players thought they were doing something good, such as going to a hotel or something, but they ended up being tricked and given a lot of gifts. Mao didn't even touch them, and they became the protagonist of the news.

"Oh, Jason, you're talking about that reporter! He asked me who was better between you and Marbury. I said you would torture Marbury to death, and then she chased me and asked you how to torture Marbury." Liu Mang

Said very seriously.

"..." Jason Terry was stunned for a moment and immediately became furious: "Damn! Ace, you are so shameless!"

"It doesn't matter, Jason, just beat Marbury to death!" Liu Mang smiled evilly.

"..." Jason Terry really wants to hit someone! Beat Marbury? This is the guy who scored 50 points against Biao with OK last year. How can it be said so lightly!

…

Marbury was not a good person, and Liu Mang knew this very well. At least until he passed his peak, before he could no longer play in the NBA, he even couldn't find a job and was forced to retire in the NBA. He was about to go bankrupt and was signed by the Fenjiu team.

Before he felt the influence of socialism, he was not a good person. He was caught on camera seducing an underage intern on the team's cheerleading team in the parking lot. He went to court and described the process in detail and was reprimanded by the judge in court. He sucked harmony and had sex with the ball.

The team's head coach Isaiah Thomas's soap opera war, together with the team's veteran players, used conmen to defraud the team's rookies out of their money... they could do anything.

But there is nothing to say about strength!

If they want to end the half-season with a victory and enter the eight-day holiday in the middle of the season happily, the biggest obstacle for the Hawks in this game is Marbury, who is still an All-Star!

Last year, Marbury led the Nets and scored 50 points and 12 assists in a single game against the Lakers. He almost overturned the OK combination. If Fox's three-point savior hadn't dragged the savior into overtime, Marbury would have had one more goal.

A classic counterattack battle.

The game started at 7 o'clock in the evening. ESPN broadcast the final game of the Eagles' half-season season live nationwide. This game attracted the attention of many fans.

After the players from both sides entered the stadium, Liu Mang saw Marbury with a stern look on his face. He was a lone wolf. The more people mentioned this title, the more often he was mentioned. Maybe Marbury himself felt that he was a lonely wolf.

He is a wolf, and he doesn't deal with anyone, looking aloof and surly.

His neck, arms, and really bald head were all covered with tattoos. Coupled with that surly expression, when Liu Mang saw Marbury, he actually thought of another surly man in the future - Michael Beasley!

It feels so much like Marbury and Beasley during this period!

It's just that Marbury's advantage is that he has a pass that averages 8 assists per game all year round, so no matter what, it is impossible to lose his job. No, Marbury's contract is about to expire, and the Suns will not throw it away in vain in the summer.

The All-Star level point guard was given a 7-year contract extension worth over 100 million.

Liu Mang thought that Marbury's personality might be similar to Beasley's, and quickly thought of a little method...

…

At 7:15 in the evening, after a series of pre-game activities, the Eagles' home game against the Suns began.

The Eagles continued to field their usual combination, with Liu Mang continuing to be the sixth man.

The Suns sent out a lineup of Stephon Marbury, modern-day Jordan Joe Johnson, Penny Hardaway, super power forward Shawn Marion, and center Tom Gugliotta, a tonnage pitching type dedicated to O'Neal.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Joe Johnson came to the Suns, and the fortunes immediately turned around!

In the Suns' lineup, only Marbury and Penny at the small forward position do not have three-point ability. Others, including Joe Johnson and the center, have the ability to shoot mid-range and even three-pointers. They are very suitable for a certain team.

He is still the third brother in Dallas who can't dunk.

As the buzzer sounded to start the game, the referee threw the ball into the air. Ratliff beat Gugliotta to win the jump ball. Jason Terry got the ball and the Eagles scored first.

Marbury seemed to be in a good defensive mood today and stayed close to Jason Terry at halftime.

When Marbury is willing to defend, he is very good in one-on-one defense. Similar to Francis, his excellent physical fitness is very good against fast ball-handling players.

Jason Terry passed the ball to Dean Grove and led Marbury to the corner.

Sure enough, Marbury couldn't defend without the ball. He always kept his eyes on the ball. Dean Grove advanced into the frontcourt and passed to Raheem. Raheem stood still outside the free throw line, knocking the Suns away.

Marion, who has the best defense ability, attracted him and then distributed it to Jason Terry in the bottom corner. Jason Terry made the opening three-pointer.

The Eagles hit the first ball well! Jason Terry's understanding of defense is getting better and better, and he has the style of the future Eagle King.

The offense and defense transitioned, the Suns attacked, and Marbury advanced quickly. Everyone on the Suns, including Gugliotta, passed the half very quickly. After arriving in the frontcourt, Marbury handed the ball to Gugliotta, who was supporting high at the free throw line.

Gliotta.

Marbury and Gugliotta have been partners for many years. Gugliotta was the No. 6 pick in 1992 and was traded by the Warriors to the Timberwolves in 1995. Starting in 1996, after meeting Marbury, Gugliotta

Horta has reached the peak of his career. Can you imagine a team with Garnett and Marbury having another person who leads the team in scoring?

Gugliotta is, he and Marbury have a real tacit understanding of cooperation. After meeting Marbury, Gugliotta averaged 20 9 4 per game for two consecutive years, reaching the peak of his career! With his two younger brothers, he helped the Timberwolves continue their career

He reached the playoffs in two years, beat O'Neal many times in the regular season, and almost defeated Vin Baker, who was not a fat man at the time, in the playoffs.

It's a pity that Marbury was traded not long after the lockout, and Gugliotta fell from his peak. It has been three or four years since the two met again, but Gugliotta is already old, 33-year-old

Although he is no longer as brave as he used to be due to his age, his coping ability and long-range shooting ability are still outstanding.

Ratliff had no choice but to pull out the big pitcher who was also the most dominant pitcher in the Western Conference back then. At this time, Marbury quickly cut in and Jason Trila couldn't hold him back. Gugliotta tacitly distributed the ball to

Marbury, Marbury went to the basket, Rahim, Muhammad, and Jason Terry double-teamed. Marbury passed the ball to the right corner, and Marion took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

hit.

The fans at the scene let out a cry of "Oh...", finally seeing someone with an uglier posture than their own rookie with a step-back shooting posture!

Shawn Marion is really a strange man. In addition to being easily blocked when shooting and being called the league's blocked leader before Carmelo Anthony, he is a really powerful player.

Marion's performance in his rookie year was average, averaging 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game. He was only a second-team rookie in 1999, the big year of the draft, but he became a first-line power forward in his second year, averaging 17 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.

Assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, that's awesome! Especially since he actually managed to develop the three-point shooting rate of more than 10% in his rookie year, and this year it has improved to a first-class level of 38%!

Marbury, Gugliotta, and Marion, this combination already has the feel of the Suns team that counterattacked to 45 wins next season. They only need a player who can cut and dunk to squeeze Marion into the game.

The most suitable small forward position.

If you look closely, the Suns are really not that bad! With a record of 24 wins and 28 losses, they are pretty good outside the top eight in the Western Conference. After all, they have to meet the top eight in the Western Conference 30 times a season. If they were placed in the Eastern Conference,
