After winning 7 losses and firmly ranking first in the Western Conference, the Suns, like the Hawks in the previous two years, are already considered the favorites for the championship.

Coach Kruger also views the Suns as a potential opponent in the finals!

…

…

After returning from the halftime break, when Liu Mang and Nash came to their respective benches to take off their training uniforms, they looked at each other in tacit understanding, smiled at each other, and understood each other's thoughts.

That’s right!

Liu Mang scored 30 points in the half, the highest score in the game, but Nash also scored 24 points in the half!

30 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists VS 24 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, the two performed equally well!

The strong teams Nash encountered before all wanted to deal with him from the defensive end. When encountering Liu Mang, who couldn't guard the defensive end and then chose to attack, it was the first time Nash encountered him this season.

This makes Nash feel so rare.

Although the two are just acquaintances between gentlemen, they cherish each other!

After the second half of the game started, the offenses of the two teams were completely unleashed. On the one hand, Coach Kruger wanted to play with Liu Mang's temper, and on the other hand, he wanted to see how strong the Suns' offense was. Except for Liu Mang, the other four

For the position, McGrady, Prince, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown, who have the best athletic ability on the team, will be used for a six-man rotation. Adding Liu Mang, it will be a seven-man rotation.

Try to maintain continuity on the offensive end.

On the Suns' side, D'Antoni was stronger. Nash's excellent organization in the second quarter allowed Joe Johnson, Big Q, and Stoudemire to rest for a whole quarter. In the second half, Nash, who is also famous for using his main players to death,

D'Antoni didn't even use the eight-man rotation, and directly used Garbar Bosa's six-man rotation to fight the Eagles offensively!

Liu Mang didn't just shoot by himself, but worked with Tracy McGrady to mobilize the entire team's offense, so that he could compete with the Suns' increasingly powerful offense.

In the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 8 points and 3 assists, and McGrady scored 8 points and 6 assists, leading the Hawks to 42 points in a single quarter. However, the Suns also scored 42 points. When entering the fourth quarter, it was still 1

Point difference!

After three quarters, the Hawks scored 119 to 120 and were still one point behind the Suns. The most offensive team in the East and West scored in the three quarters that other teams in the league would normally find difficult to score!

…

As the saying goes: Those who are good at swimming will drown.

This sentence does not mean that all those who drown are those who can swim, but that those who can swim often drown themselves to death when swimming because they are too confident.

The Eagles, including Liu Mang, were very confident in their offense before the game against the Suns, although the Eagles currently lag behind the Suns' 111 points per game with an average of 109 points per game.

However, since January, the Eagles have averaged higher points per game than the Suns. The Eagles are better able to use defense to create mistakes and counterattack, scoring a little more than the Suns. They have already surpassed the 104 to 112 points at the beginning of the season by 8 points.

The average points per game disadvantage is only two points behind catching up.

Moreover, the Eagles have been playing defensive counterattack for three years. This year is to further carry forward the spirit of Lang. Liu Mang feels that his offense will not lose to the Suns.

However, the Suns' scoring-oriented style of play made Liu Mang realize that maybe he could dominate the Suns, while the Suns could only win by more than a dozen points, but the Suns' offense could not win.

No way to stop it!

Liu Mang scored a super triple-double of 48 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists. McGrady scored 31 points and 17 assists. Jason Terry scored 23 points. Kwame Brown scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. The Hawks team had a total of 7 people.

Scored in double figures. Seven players in the main rotation today scored in double figures. The team scored a total of 164 points. Since the Nuggets scored 184 points in a game without overtime in 1983, the Eagles have

The number of points scored in a single game ranks second in 22 years!

But first, there is the Suns in front of us!

The Suns soared by 171 points!

Nash hit a three-pointer at the last minute, raising his single-game score to 171 points!

The Hawks lost in the end. Although Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady had scored 77 points together, four of the Hawks scored more than 20 points, and seven players scored in double figures. They still lost to the Suns, who had eight players on the field and all eight players scored in double figures.

Especially Nash's 41 points and 15 assists. Although he didn't have as many assists as McGrady, he organized the offense better!

The Suns have set a record so far this season - the first time the Suns played against a certain team this season, they won them all!

Against the Spurs, they won 116-99 by nearly 20 points, against the Pistons 113-112, Nash won a buzzer beater, against the Heat, they won by 15 points, against the Kings, the Mavericks... the Suns won all of them against any team for the first time.

This time against the Hawks, the Suns still won!

After losing the game, Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson took some of the things recorded from the game and asked the videographer to edit the game video, and then took Stockton and Chip England with them.

Went to a meeting all night.

…

During the game between the Hawks and the Suns, the fans at the scene went crazy! Even if they lost in the end, they were only regretful, not angry.

The offense of the two teams was so exciting. Stoudemire made dunks at every opportunity, Kwame Brown countered with tip-in dunks, Nash and Stoudemire connected in the air, and Josh Smith used a higher

The jumping height will challenge Stoudemire's bullet speed.

Liu Mang and Nash's three-point battle, Nash showed McGrady the art of passing...

There are also Iguodala's counterattack gliding dunk, Joe Johnson's catch-and-turn jumper three-pointer...

There are many, many more... In the end, both teams were immersed in the offensive battle, and the Eagles who lost in the end just felt regretful...

Players are happy to play, fans are happy to watch, and the league is even happier!
