There is another dead dog lying on the massage table in the home team locker room of Phillips Arena.

Stockton played the entire quarter, and in a quarter when his physical fitness returned to its peak, he played the best quarter of his career with an unprecedented and extremely positive desire to perform!

Maybe the Hawks are not as capable as Karl Malone at his peak, who just won 72 games last season and won 69 games last season during the three consecutive championships. Jordan won the MVP star, but from the perspective of the entire rotation, this

He is the best teammate Stockton has ever had. Everyone in the Hawks team is helping him and helping him deal with Kidd. Stockton scored a double-double performance of 10 points and 10 assists in a single quarter, especially

In the last five minutes, after the Eagles replaced Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace, Stockton led the Eagles to play a crazy five minutes.

Although Carter scored 9 points for the Nets in the last five minutes, he was the only one to score for the Nets. Stockton led the Eagles to a super scoring performance of 22-9!

After these crazy five minutes, the Hawks scored 39 points in a single quarter! They scored 39 to 20 in a single quarter! They pushed the Nets' three perimeter giants to the ground and rubbed them!

After halftime, the score was 66 to 42, with the Eagles leading by 24 points!

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Stockton, who was nearly 42 years old and had a double-double in a single quarter, walked to the tunnel and returned to the locker room.

But not long after returning to the locker room, Stockton felt that his body was hollowed out and exhausted. He wanted to maintain his image but couldn't control it. He followed Rasheed Wallace's example and lay down like a dead dog.

On the massage table.

Stockton had never found a massage bed to be so comfortable. He felt that Rasheed Wallace was really a talent and this position was indeed quite comfortable.

Regarding Stockton's performance where he was so tired that he could barely stick out his tongue, his teammates who returned to the locker room were not too surprised. Stockton played too hard!

4 of 7 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 2 mid-range shots, 1 of 1 layups, and 10 points. This is the performance that Stockton should have. The key is still scary.

10 assists in a single quarter!

If a star plays three or four minutes in each quarter and provides two assists in each quarter, although it is exaggerated, it is not shocking, because he observed the opponent's defense on the sidelines and provided two assists in a few minutes.

Assisting is not particularly difficult.

But playing on the court for a long time and still delivering an assist for more than a minute is an exaggeration. This not only requires the player to have an outsider's field vision on the court, but also the opponent will be wary of his passing.

, under such circumstances, it is an exaggeration to be able to provide 10 assists in a single quarter!

Although it is not particularly rare to have double figures in assists in a single quarter, it has happened in history. The record for assists in a single quarter in the history of the second quarter is 14 assists in a single quarter held by former Spurs star John Lucas II. Look,

Stockton isn't particularly impressive either.

However, Stockton is already second in history in terms of assists in a single quarter in the second quarter! And he also scored 10 points in a single quarter! The only double-double performance of points and assists in a single quarter in history! He did not even record it in his peak period.

Such a performance!

Stockton also became the oldest star to score a double-double in points and assists!

So Stockton was as tired as a dead dog, and his teammates wouldn't be surprised. It would be strange for an almost 42-year-old veteran to not feel tired after playing for an entire quarter.

In addition to Stockton being proud and stomping on Kidd, Liu Mang became the biggest beneficiary. In the second quarter, he made 4 of 6 shots from the three-point line, plus an empty cut to Stockton.

With a passing dunk, Liu Mang scored 14 points in a single quarter!

Accidentally, I scored another 19 points in the half!

Looking at Stockton who was paralyzed on the bed and could only wave and smile in celebration before continuing to lie down, Liu Mang felt that he could not let go of the great situation left by his teacher and went up to reap the victory! Brush up the data and kill the Nets.

!

After all, the Nets are a team that has been in the finals for two consecutive years, and facing their own team that aspires to the championship and plays like a championship, Liu Mang feels that they cannot give up.

The teacher has paved the way, as a disciple, how can we not enjoy it?

Leading by 24 points, Liu Mang doesn't want to widen the point difference, just maintain it, go up and score points!

…

As Liu Mang expected, after returning from the second half, the Eagles replaced the combination of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff.

The Nets continued to field Kidd and Carter, who played the entire first half, as well as Richard Jefferson, Clifford Robinson, and Aaron Williams.

The Big Three continue!

But the Big Three on the Nets are so incompatible!

The giant combination of three outside players is too overlapping. It would be much easier to take one out and replace it with an inside player, just like Liu Mang and Stockton, Boozer, or Liu Mang and Rahim.

, Rasheed-Wallace's two Big Three combinations showed the same style of play, each sacrificing themselves and playing around one of the best players, it will definitely take off.

If the Big Three of the Nets are given a top blue-collar power forward, they will definitely rise. But the salaries of Carter, Kidd and Kittles alone account for 80% of the salary cap. They

The total salary of up to 67 million has long exceeded the luxury tax threshold. In exchange for Clifford Robinson, the injury exception of 5 million before Mutombo's injury reimbursement was used and there was no room at all.

In terms of signings, even if they are willing to send away Richard Jefferson, who is still on a rookie contract, they cannot get back a star of comparable value.

Moreover, even if they have many veterans whose contracts expire after this season, whether there are power forwards willing to come to support them is still a problem. It is very difficult to find stars in New Jersey who are willing to play here.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Nets put two big centers, Jason Collins and Scalabrine, on the bench. They wanted to forcefully start chasing points in the third quarter. Even the center

No more.

Facing the lineup of the Nets, Liu Mang decisively started to make waves!

Crazy waves!

Kuang Kuang Kuang hit the iron again, scoring 15 points on 6 of 15 shots in a single quarter, and the wave was flying!

However, the Nets did not seize the opportunity. The Eagles' four players who were more than 2 meters tall or even more than 2 meters tall worked together tacitly. They were already used to Liu Mang's wave play style. They blocked the spots where they should be blocked and hit the rebounds.

The impact rebounds, grabbing 7 offensive rebounds in a single quarter, containing the Nets' counterattack, and at the same time relying on the second offense to score 8 points in a single quarter.

When they returned to the position battle, the Eagles began to go all out, focusing on the opponent's three outside lines, and left the opponent's two inside lines to Ratliff. Four outside lines defended three, although they were defeated by Clifford Robinson and Ah.

Ron Williams scored 7 points in the paint, but the Nets only scored 13 points in the outside. The Nets struggled in the third quarter and only scored 20 points, while the Hawks scored 33 points in a single quarter.

!

Liu Mang scored 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and scored 34 points and 10 assists in three quarters. He led the Eagles to a 99-62 victory in three quarters, leading the Nets by 37 points!

The Nets' lineup, which was lame on one leg, was suppressed by the Hawks for the entire game!

In the fourth quarter, Jason Terry brought a pure substitute lineup of Korver, Barnes, Boozer, and Kwame Brown to continue playing. He didn't save any face. This lineup was impossible to defend.

The offense of the Nets bench led by Rodney Rogers and Kittles is still very good, but the offense of the Hawks is not blocked by the Nets bench.

New grudges plus old grudges, the Hawks came with the mentality of massacring the Nets!

In the end, the Eagles scored 126 to 92, with a score difference of 34 points, and massacred the Nets again!

Kidd only scored 10 points and 7 assists, but Carter's performance remained the same, with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

This time, the Nets didn't even have the idea of ​​retaliating with dirty moves. With a 20-point deficit at halftime, the Nets seemed extremely "harmonious" and actually got a single win from Stockton.

After the double-double performance in the quarter, the Nets' mentality collapsed! That's why they irrationally switched to a center-less lineup in the third quarter and were beaten by the Hawks. Otherwise, if Carter was the core, at least

The score difference will not be so wide in the third quarter, and the score difference will not become so big!

The final whistle sounded. Seeing the huge advantage of 34 points over the opponent, everyone on the scene was chanting Stockton's name. Counting Raheem, who had been selected as an All-Star with the help of Liu Mang, Stockton was

The Hawks now have their fourth All-Star on the roster!

Stockton played for a long time in the second half before crawling out of the locker room. He felt as if he had been exploited by a tigress at home all night, and his legs were weak.

Fortunately, he calmed down a bit and came out to watch his teammates play. After the game, Stockton enjoyed the cheers of the fans and came to the court for an interview.

Although Liu Mang once again scored 30+10, maintaining an average of 32 points per game, his performance was very impressive.

But what surprised the fans the most and was undoubtedly the most dazzling was Stockton who played the best single quarter of his career.

When Kidd left the scene, he looked back at Liu Mang, who was surrounding Stockton and forcing himself to take advantage of the camera. Stockton then pushed him away in disgust. He sighed helplessly, turned around and left this sad scene.

The place.

The worry I felt two years ago seems to have become a reality now. That annoying guy has truly risen!

As for Liu Mang and Stockton, Liu Mang finally failed to get a shot of the old man and left angrily.

When Stockton asked reporters questions about Kidd, after winning the game, he finally became domineering: "Kidd is great, but we already have a younger and better point guard. He has reached the championship twice.
