Chapter 1106 1105. An annoying and exciting opponent
In a team with two scoring champions in the past three years, a coolie center can actually take more than 30 shots and score 51 points alive.
This incident allowed fans to see that the Eagles are very different this season from the past two seasons.
Although there were Jason Terry's 40+ and McGrady's 50+ last season, the scoring was basically concentrated on these two and Liu Mang. This season, the rest of the Eagles can also have more shots.
Fans saw Liu Mang passing the ball, averaging 11.3 assists per game, and McGrady averaging 22 points per game. They thought it was just a change of tasks for the two of them. Now they noticed that Kwame Brown had 30+ twice, and there were as many as 9+ 20 times. Korver had 20+ twice, and Josh Smith and Iguodala also had 20+ once.
Some media pointed out that after the Hawks won two consecutive championships, the team can still maintain such enthusiasm and a good team atmosphere, which has a lot to do with Liu Mang, McGrady, and Jason Terry releasing the ball in the regular season.
Liu Mang averaged 30.3 points per game, Jason Terry averaged 14.4 points per game, McGrady averaged 22 points per game, and the combined average was 66.7 points per game. The Eagles averaged 116.5 points per game this season.
As the Eagles averaged more points per game, the proportion of points scored by the three main scorers decreased, and the team's record improved.
After analysis by the media and fans, it has brought some inspiration to some teams aspiring to compete for the championship.
……
Garnett came to Atlanta with the team yesterday, the day of the game between the Eagles and the Raptors. He watched ZB on Georgia’s local TV station, watched the news that Kwame Brown scored 51 points since last night, and that long section of analysis. He highly agrees with the team atmosphere of the Eagles.
Isn't this the kind of team he wants?
On the rest day before the game against the Eagles, Garnett did not go to practice, but came to the streets of Atlanta. He saw the posters of the three All-Stars of the Eagles everywhere on the road, especially Liu Mang. Every poster read "My time has come" and the like. Seeing the Eagles fans wearing Liu Mang's No. 1 jersey coming and going on the street, they were all so happy.
Garnett is a quiet person in private, or withdrawn, just like that silently walking through the streets of Atlanta, feeling the slow pace of this city full of basketball atmosphere...
……
On the evening of the 25th, the preparations for Liu Mang's family came to an end, and the teammates who came to help also went back, but at this time, three people came to Liu Mang's house to visit.
"Oh, Tim, hello Manu and Tony, you're here so early! Long time no see!" Liu Mang welcomed the troika into his villa.
"Ace, long time no see. The last time was your birthday party." Duncan smiled.
Liu Mang hurriedly covered the eyes of the little lolita who came out to look at the superstar. That smile was too evil to let children see dirty things...
"Hello Ace, wow, you have already arranged it. What is this? It seems to be upside down?" Ginobili asked curiously.
"This means happiness, and posting it upside down means happiness is coming. In Chinese, the pronunciation of upside down and coming is the same." Little Lolita showed her Chinese ability strongly.
"Dinah is so smart, Dinah, a gift for you." Duncan handed one of the two bags in his hand to little Lolita.
"Thank you, Uncle Duncan." Little Lolita took it immediately, and then looked at the other two with eager eyes.
Fortunately, under Duncan's guidance, the other two brought gifts. Except for Duncan, the other two came to Liu Mang's house for the first time.
After Ginobili greeted Parker, he followed into Liu Mang's house.
After inquiring, Liu Mang found out, because Liu Mang invited them to the New Year’s Eve party tomorrow. They had inquired about it. New Year’s Eve is similar to their Christmas. It’s a very important holiday. They actually invited their opponent. It happened that they had no other games before the game against the Eagles. After Duncan threatened with Popovich’s wine bottle, Popovich brought the team to Atlanta two days in advance on the morning of the 25th. They first came to Atlanta to have a rest. , to study the Eagles' style of play this season.
Without saying too much, the troika came to say hello, gave gifts, and then went back to the hotel without delaying Liu Mang's family to continue preparing for the party.
……
……
"...Kevin...Garnett..."
The Hawks DJ called out Garnett's name in a low tone, and the boos on the scene reached a boiling point.
On the night of the 26th, the game between the Eagles and the Timberwolves came as scheduled.
One of the only four teams that have beaten the Eagles this season, Eagles fans hate the Timberwolves, especially Garnett. Garnett has been controversial over the years, and now Eagles fans hate him even more.
But when the players from the Eagles came out, the scene immediately turned into cheers.
It's been nearly a month, and the Eagles' starting five are back together again!
Since losing to the Timberwolves almost 20 days ago, the Eagles players have been waiting for a chance to get revenge.
Liu Mang has been waiting here for a long time.
"The Avengers series of missions: The Wolf King's Roar: Revenge against the Timberwolves for the second time this season. The mission rewards you with 10000 superstar points."
Although the task reward is not high, Liu Mang still wants to complete it.
He can't accept another loss to a non-playoff team in Minnesota.
But... the name of this mission further confirmed Liu Mang and Mai Di's conjecture that the meaning of Juehou should not be the last roar of the wolf king, but the last roar of the wolf king they encountered.
The Eagles only have two games against the Timberwolves this season. They played one before, and the rest is today's game. The Timberwolves have no hope of the playoffs, let alone the finals.
Also, after Liu Mang entered the arena, he felt weird seeing Garnett's face full of fighting spirit. Why did Garnett seem to be more angry than them?
"Jason, why does that guy look more like someone who wants revenge than us?" Liu Mang said to Jason Terry next to him.
"He has always been like that. I was won by him once in my rookie year. Then when I met him for the second time, he played harder and wanted to show off his ability." Jason Terry replied based on his own experience.
To show off your abilities?
Liu Mang looked at Garnett's appearance, he didn't look like it!
Even if Garnett wants to show his ability, and as Liu Mang and McGrady speculate, this guy wants to change teams, but Liu Mang thinks something is wrong. Showing his ability has nothing to do with their Eagles.
but……
It is always a good thing to play against Kevin Garnett, the current No. 21 power forward in the league, especially when there is another No. [-] sitting on the sidelines...
……
Since the Hawks lost only four games this season, one of which was against the Timberwolves, at 4:[-] p.m., the ESPN extra-broadcast began.
For the Eagles, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown were sent to the full starting lineup.
For the Timberwolves, the starting lineup of Marcus Banks, Trenton Hassel, Ricky Davis, Kevin Garnett and Mark Blunt appeared.
Kwame Brown came to the middle circle to jump the ball with high fighting spirit.
Kwame Brown lost very few jump balls this season, one of which was a loss to Garnett. This time Kwame Brown was more serious than before, and he no longer underestimated the Timberwolves, who were last in the West.
The referee blows the whistle to start the game and throws the ball into the air.
Kwame Brown jumped hard, and Garnett on the opposite side was also concentrating on waiting for the moment when the ball reached the highest point, and jumped with all his strength!
This time Kwame Brown relied on his youth, a little faster, touched the ball first, and slapped the ball behind him.
After Liu Mang received the ball, the Timberwolves retreated quickly amid Garnett's roar.
Although I don't like Garnett's bad character, but seeing Garnett's passion when calling his teammates to retreat, and Garnett's focused expression, I have to say that even as an opponent, his blood boils with enthusiasm!
"Ding... the talent skill Wolf Blood Boil is triggered, wolf king Kevin Garnett's exclusive talent skill, totem-type team buff, invincible and me difference, the players of the two teams have high fighting spirit in this game, those with weak minds and weak personalities, their state has dropped significantly."
Garnett is indeed very able to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates, but the appearance that the opponent hates makes the players on the Eagles also become more active.
Punching Garnett is unreliable. This guy is only good at irritating opponents. If he hits him, he will fall for him. The main players of the Eagles are not young and young, and they understand this guy's mentality very well.
Liu Mang advances to the frontcourt and looks at Marcus Banks who is defending him.
The Timberwolves' defense this season is really good, but they have no offense. They conceded only 93 points per game, ranking fifth in the league in terms of restricted opponents' points, but averaged 91 points per game, fourth from the bottom in the league.
You have to tear their defense first!
Liu Mang's first attack is ready to come by himself!
After seeing Liu Mang pass the middle circle, he lowered his waist slightly. The teammates saw Liu Mang's movement and collectively pressed inside.
Seeing this scene, Garnett rushed towards the top arc, and at the same time shouted at Banks, "Go up!"
Banks didn't react, Liu Mang suddenly accelerated to the right side of the top arc, and before Banks could react, he shot a three-pointer...
hit!
