The rhythm of the game became very fast due to the Kings' speed increase and the Hawks' defensive counterattack. McGrady scored a three-pointer, and the replay of the TV screen showed the replay of McGrady's second defense against Martin.

Instead of showing offensive replays, showing defensive replays shows how special this defense is!

In the picture, McGrady pretended to raise his hands and suddenly put his hands behind his back. Then Martin almost lost his center of gravity because he didn't hit McGrady's hand.

Fortunately, although Martin's overall strength is poor, his core strength is good. He threw the ball, but he was still blocked by McGrady.

In the original time and space, Tracy McGrady's defense deteriorated later, mainly due to injuries, excessive consumption on the offensive end, and because less time was invested in the defensive end, the defense further declined, forming a vicious cycle.

This defense was something McGrady and Prince had been studying together for a long time on how to deal with Liu Mang in training. Liu Mang was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, and they didn't expect to be able to use it on their opponents.

McGrady and Prince originally studied this for fun, but now it has a use!

Next, Martin's most devastating day began.

There is still a big gap between the current Martin and the one who averaged 20 points per game for seven years in the next ten years. The main offensive methods are three points, relying on height, long legs and speed to break through; relying on the very tall Zhong Yuan at the shooting guard position.

Shoot, and draw fouls.

But McGrady can restrain Martin just right. McGrady is taller than Martin and has about the same speed. Coupled with McGrady's dedicated and physical defense, and a stronger body than Martin, Martin's current conventional offensive methods are beaten to death by McGrady.

Restrained!

As for Martin's other trick, the foul-drawing methods he learned from watching Liu Mang's games are obviously incomparable with Liu Mang's genuine foul-drawing methods.

The main reason is that the scoring threat is too different. Martin's current mid-range shot is only 31%, and he can make it, but it is still far behind as a regular offensive method. McGrady chose to make an emergency stop and take off after Martin.

If you interfere again, Martin will be great if you get in.

McGrady spared no effort to focus on the defensive end and locked Martin up!

In the first half, Martin made 1 of 8 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 4 points in 8 shots!

As for McGrady, in addition to the defensive end, he also went crazy on the offensive end. He played 19 minutes in the first half, making 4 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 13 field goals, 5 of 8 free throws, and scored 25 points in the half!

Martin played 13 minutes in the first half. Unfortunately, when he was on the court, he was always facing off against McGrady. In the Kings' main rotation, the only one who can match up with McGrady is Martin. Peja's defensive enthusiasm is too low.

Already.

McGrady beat Martin on both offense and defense!

It was too easy for Liu Mang to get assists today. McGrady made a cut, Liu Mang passed the ball to McGrady, and McGrady shot directly.

McGrady asked for the ball from outside the three-point line, Liu Mang passed it, and McGrady shot directly.

McGrady's style of play is very simple. He catches the ball and throws it to the basket without dribbling. He uses the simplest method to throw the ball. With his height, wingspan, and jumping strength, McGrady's matchup with Martin and Francisco Garcia, who came on the bench, are both.

He had advantages, mainly because his opponent Martin had poor defense, and Garcia, a rookie, was intimidated when he saw McGrady. McGrady played too easily.

In the first half of the game, Liu Mang played 21 minutes and got 5 assists from Tracy McGrady alone.

And not only did McGrady add assists to Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Korver, and David Lee who came on the bench also threw the ball after receiving it. That means Iguodala and Josh Smith were not so greedy for scoring and grabbed the ball.

After rebounding or receiving a pass from Liu Mang, the first thing to consider is to send the ball to a more suitable teammate.

Liu Mang scored 9 points and 11 assists in the first half!

This is the first time Liu Mang has more assists than points!

Originally, the Kings players expected Martin to be another Liu Mang.

Because their playing styles are very similar, they are both counterattack players, and even their lanky bodies are similar.

but……

The reality is cruel. Martin used his cleverness to anger McGrady, and then suffered Maddie's crazy revenge!

Liu Mang 9 points, McGrady 25 points, Jason Terry 8 points, Korver 6 points, Kwame Brown 12 points, Barry 3 points, Iguodala 3 points, Josh Smith 2 points, Mourning

6 points, the Eagles scored 74 points in the first half!

The Kings, on the other hand, were fast but poorly played. They made 18 of 45 shots in the first half and scored 45 points!

The Eagles almost led by 30 points at halftime!

Coach Kruger was very satisfied with Liu Mang's play in the first half today. The Eagles had a total of 21 assists in the first half! Liu Mang shared the ball when he was double-teamed and did not stick to the ball. After Liu Mang passed the ball, for

He gets easy shooting opportunities, and when running, he can also disrupt the Kings' already poor defense, allowing the Hawks to pass the ball very smoothly.

It's just that Liu Mang was a little upset. He scored 9 points at halftime... It's been a long time since he's been like this.

In the third quarter, Adelman continued to put Martin on the court. He had no idea of ​​protecting the young man's self-confidence. He wanted to not lose the game so ugly. Although Martin was not good at defense, he was highly motivated and tall.

It can interfere with McGrady's three-point shot.

Adelman didn't want to lose face so badly, so he continued to send his main force in the second half.

Liu Mang thought he was close to not scoring in double figures in a single game for the first time in three years. Unexpectedly, the opponent still refused to surrender after falling behind by 29 points. Two minutes into the third quarter, coach Kruger re-organized Liu Mang and Jason Terry.

, McGrady, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown’s lineup were sent up.

After Liu Mang came on the court, he first reached the three-point line and made a super long three-point shot...it didn't go in...

But Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebound!

After Liu Mang shot the ball, he rushed towards the basket. The Kings ignored him at this time. Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line. Josh Smith grabbed the offensive rebound and threw it towards Liu Mang before it even landed.

, Liu Mang received the ball and hit a flying throw, finally raising his score to double digits.

And then...Martin's ordeal continues...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Next, Liu Mang continued to pass the ball, and McGrady did not make so many shots on the offensive end. He shared the ball with his teammates and focused on guarding Martin and catching Liu Mang.

Pass after pass.

Because Adelman wants to use the main force to narrow the point difference, but although the Kings are no longer a strong team, their reputation is still there. Coach Kruger is worried that it will be reversed or the point difference will be narrowed to a critical moment, which will not be good.

Today's main force has been replaced.

So after three quarters, the Eagles were 109-66, leading the Kings by 43 points!

McGrady got bored while playing. At first he saw Martin playing the same way as Liu Mang and was very interested in Martin. However, in the third quarter, after Martin took a few shots, he didn't dare to catch the ball. McGrady got worse and worse as he played.

Find it boring.

After three quarters, when Martin was about to leave the game with a grimace, McGrady said to Martin: "You are really weak, come on."

Martin really wants to cry!

He made 2 of 13 shots in the third quarter and scored 6 points on 2 of 2 free throws. It was his worst performance this season.

Martin didn't even dare to talk to McGrady, he was crushed the whole time!

Seeing that McGrady was still bullying Martin, Liu Mang went up and patted Martin on the shoulder: "Second grader, come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

Martin immediately showed the ecstasy of Nash being drafted by the NBA, smiling exactly like the smile Nash had when he was drafted...

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Kings 131-90, killing the Kings by 41 points.

Liu Mang scored 7 points in the third quarter, totaling 15 points, 15 assists and 3 rebounds. Tracy McGrady scored 35 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. Jason Terry scored 28 points. Kwame Brown scored 26 points. The Eagles scored 33 times.

Assist, the whole team worked hard, and defeated the Kings!

…

With 19 consecutive wins, the Eagles once again tied the fourth-longest winning streak in history.

Prior to the 19-game winning streak, there are only three consecutive wins, the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, the Hawks' own 22-game winning streak, and the Bucks' 20-game winning streak.

People were originally expecting to see Liu Mang score another high score when the Hawks played the Kings, but Liu Mang only scored 15 points. However, McGrady went crazy after being fouled by Martin, which became the main news after the game.

McGrady also has that kind of mentality of retribution. His fans are going to cry, someone has led them to evil!

On the other side, when the Lakers played the Warriors at the same time, Kobe was not in high spirits either. He also encountered the same crazy double-teaming as Liu Mang. He only scored 21 points and 9 assists, but had 7 steals and 2 blocks.

Defensive data, the Lakers also ushered in 6 consecutive victories, but Yao Ming scored 43 points, setting a new career high.

The Warriors also frantically prevented Kobe from scoring and suffered a huge defeat. The Lakers beat the Warriors by 52 points 124-72, setting a new record for the largest point difference this season.

Compared to the Hawks who relaxed their defense in the third quarter and allowed Calderon, Barry, Korver, David Lee, and Mourning to play garbage time, they saved some face for the opponent and allowed the Kings to score 34 points in the final quarter.

After all, the score was increased to 90 points. The Lakers had Kobe watching, and the substitutes still tried their best to defend. The Warriors only scored 72 points.

Liu Mang saw the performance of Tracy McGrady and Kobe, saw Jason Richardson, who only scored 8 points, and Martin, who only scored 6 points, after being guarded by Kobe. He started to complain about the two stingy guys on the trumpet.

…

…

After a 19-game winning streak, the Eagles continued their road trip and came to Oakland to challenge the Warriors away from home.

The Warriors are so desperate...

Just got beaten by the Lakers and met the Eagles again...

The Warriors continue to work hard to build character.

An easy victory without bloodshed.

The Eagles won 101 to 82, easily winning their 20th consecutive victory.

Although Liu Mang only scored 15 points in the second game after scoring 90 points, his opponents were still afraid!

The player who scored 100 points in a single game was a legend of the Warriors, and he got it while playing on their team, so he guarded Kobe and Liu Mang tightly, double-teamed like crazy, and didn't even care about his own score.
