Feeling the jealous eyes of a certain player opposite, Liu Mang smiled proudly......

Liu Mang really wanted to tell the careful-eyed man opposite: Xiaoke, keep working hard, one day you can sit in this position like Xiaoye......

After the national anthem of the US imperialists, the game is about to begin.

With a roar from Rashid Wallace, Liu Mang and Boozer hugged and came to the court to prepare for the game.

"Ding...... The momentum of OK was triggered, and the morale of the Los Angeles Lakers soared, suppressing the morale of the host team. From Kobe Bryant and Shaq O'Neal. ”

"Ding...... The Eagles devils triggered at home to offset the impact of the OK trend. From Rashid Wallace and Phillips Arena fans. ”

OK Combination is amazing! Liu Mang was surprised, how could this little blacksmith and that dead fat man meet a strong enemy, and they are obviously about to fight, and they can still have such a mood to play together.

Hurry up and fight!

Liu Mang really wanted to backhand a high-level separation card to slap the two of them on the face, but, thinking that he had used it before, for the two of them, it was okay if it was not such an important game, once both of them felt that it was time to win the game, it was useless.

Fortunately, it was Rashid Wallace's roar that suppressed the momentum that the opponent feared that the OK combination had cultivated with a triple championship.

The last team to suppress the Lakers' OK momentum in the playoffs was Duncan, who was born a king last season and absolutely crushed a team weaker than his own team.

However, it's funny to watch Rasheed Wallace and O'Neal staring at each other, Rasheed Wallace didn't coax when he met O'Neal, he almost stopped the Lakers' first championship four years ago, Rasheed Wallace and Sabonis's inside combination was worthy O'Neal plus Horace Grant's inside combination, and the Lakers hit a tie-break, if it weren't for a guy who was addicted to playing iron suddenly stopped playing iron, he killed the Pacers in the fourth game, and only scored 5 points in the seventh game. It was the Trail Blazers who won the championship that year.

It's true that he will win or lose, but it doesn't prevent Rashid Wallace from seeing O'Neill like a cannon, and although he can't do O'Neill without Sabonis, he can't do it.

On O'Neal's side, there is no pressure to play in the finals when he wins three consecutive championships, even if he plays Mutombo, there is no pressure, but it is a three-year Western final, except for the 01 Western Final, which is too easy to play the Spurs, 00 and 02 are extremely difficult, and both times are tie-breaks.

Compared with the Kings who attacked the Lakers by penetration, the Trail Blazers who relied on defense to limit O'Neal impressed him even more.

As the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, the game began!

Liu Mang could see the undulating fat shaking on O'Neill's bulging belly with the naked eye, but such a pot-bellied guy could not bounce faster than Rasheed Wallace! Swing the ball backwards by a fraction of a second.

Liu Mang hurriedly retreated, and Rasheed Wallace quickly retreated to the basket.

Fisher received the ball and pushed it over and handed it to Kobe, Liu Mang chased Fisher, and Prince defended Kobe.

Facing Prince, who is now in the limelight with the more famous and reporters are more willing to report on Prince, Kobe Bryant is very jealous, and he has suffered from Prince in both encounters.

Without forcing a single, Bryant came to a 45-degree angle on the right side and waited for his teammates to run.

Malone came to the left mid-range to open up space, and Rasheed Wallace had to keep up, and Malone shot 42 percent from the field and 49 percent overall in this year's playoffs.

Devin George also has a high three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs, averaging 1.2 three-pointers per game on 37 percent shooting.

O'Neal got an easy chance to get in the position, and Ratlif did his best but couldn't stop O'Neal from getting stuck in position.

However, this was to be expected, and Ratliff did his best to confront O'Neal and consume O'Neal.

Kobe hoisted the ball into O'Neal's hand, Kobe Bryant gave the center a very good sense of rhythm to drop the ball, O'Neal received the ball and turned around and squeezed hard, carried Ratliff away, and smashed the ball directly into the basket!

"Ding...... Talent skills: Overlord step level 5 trigger, when the full level of the basket single, as long as the physical fitness is sufficient, not fouled, must complete the dunk. From Shaq O'Neill. ”

What a pervert!

Every time I see it, I feel perverted!

But this is the expected situation, O'Neal is so inexplicable as long as he has good physical strength.

With a player like O'Neal who has a one-on-one shooting rate of nearly 60 percent under the basket, and a player who has a shooting rate of more than 50 percent in singles, he has no chance to fight back.

Liu Mang returned to the baseline to receive Ratliff's serve, and as soon as he advanced to the half, Kobe Bryant pressed up, and the half court was tight!

Looking at Kobe Bryant, who had an expression of wanting to eat people at the beginning of the game, Liu Mang leaned sideways, pressed Kobe Bryant with his left elbow, and protected the ball with his skillful ball control skills with his right hand.

Liu Mang once again felt the feeling that Wade was prevented by Kobe Bryant and couldn't get close to the three-point line, and his left arm leaned on the iron elbow to squeeze Kobe to protect the ball, Liu Mang couldn't help it: "You go away, what are the big men doing so close!" ”

"I'm not leaving!" Bryant responded forcefully.

"Go away!"

"I just won't leave!"

“……”

Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant squeezed outside the three-point line while spraying without nutrition, Kobe Bryant couldn't press Liu Mang too much, and he didn't dare to use his hands to move, and Liu Mang's arms, Kobe Bryant didn't have a good way to completely suppress Liu Mang, so he could only retreat outside the three-point line.

Liu Mang was paying attention to Kobe's defensive footsteps when he was talking to Kobe, Kobe Bryant retreated, and at the same time tilted his body slightly to the left, which is his defensive habit, suppressing the opponent from the bottom line of the strong defensive position, which is also a very common strategy of internal and external defensive cooperation in the NBA.

"If you don't go, I'll go!"

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he suddenly slapped the ball to the ground, pulled back a step, Kobe Bryant hurriedly pressed up, and was very jealous of Liu Mang's step-back jumper, one step across the three-point line, Kobe didn't dare to let Liu Mang go too far.

After Liu Mang took a step back, the ball pulled out backwards bounced, Kobe pressed up, Liu Mang had two options, you can break left and right!

Kobe Bryant, as the league's top defensive player, naturally judged his defensive mistakes at once, he has two gambling defensive options, one is to block Liu Mang's left side, which is his own right side, and the other is to block Liu Mang's right side, which is his own left side, and he must choose one, and he will go directly if he doesn't choose others.

Kobe Bryant instantly recalled the video of the first game of the Eastern Conference finals between the Hawks and the Nets, when Liu Mang scored more than 50 points......

The choice was a matter of moments, and Bryant pounced and immediately moved sideways to the right.

Liu Mang's side had long expected that the opponent would have such a choice because of his left-handed breakthrough, and when he took a step out, he pulled the ball from behind his back to the right with his left hand, and the choice was still to break through on the right side!

All of a sudden, Kobe Bryant was cleaned up, and Kobe pounced in the exact opposite direction!

Liu Mang's probe breaks through and dribbles behind the back!

easily rushed into the inside line, Malone was pulled to the bottom right corner by Rashid Wallace, and there was no chance to come up to help defend at all, Liu Mang rushed to the three-second area, O'Neal had already stepped out in advance, and the defense under the basket predicted that O'Neal was really powerful, but the outside line was too vegetable, so that the opponent rushed in at full speed, and O'Neal had no choice but to block.

Liu Mang saw O'Neal pressing up, threw the ball into the air, the ball crossed the palm of O'Neal who jumped up and wanted to interfere, came to the right side of the basket, and looked like he threw it casually, but the passing accuracy was super strong, and Ratliff jumped up to receive the ball and felt perfect, pressing the ball into the basket!

Returned a dunk!

The Eagles immediately retreated after the goal.

The Lakers pushed over, or gave O'Neal a single, O'Neal carried Ratliff and turned around with a small hook hand to throw it easily, and the huge body with such a delicate small hook hand was simply incomprehensible!

Coming back, the Eagles attacked.

As soon as Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant blocked it regardless of it, Liu Mang wanted to change direction, Kobe Bryant waited for Liu Mang to change backwards to block, Liu Mang played a large-scale change of direction breakthrough, went around to the left side of the basket at a 45-degree angle and rushed inside, Devin George was forced to come up and attack, Liu Mang passed to Rahim, and Rahim's opening shot also entered!

It's time for the Lakers to attack again, and O'Neal once again carries Ratliff away and smashes the ball into the basket.

When it was the Hawks' turn to attack, Liu Mang broke through to the free throw line, O'Neal did not defend it, and Liu Mang stepped on the free throw line and scored.

But turning around, Kobe and O'Neal cooperated, and after hoisting the ball to O'Neal, he suddenly cut in the air, Malone came up just right for Kobe to block Prince, Kobe cut into the basket, O'Neal gave the ball to Kobe, and Kobe threw to score two points......

At the beginning of the game, both sides have been testing each other's defense and attack.

The Lakers are testing what the strength of the Hawks in the playoffs is, although the Hawks won 70 in the regular season, but that is nothing, that is, the absolute guarantee of Liu Mang's MVP, the championship depends on the playoffs to win, the Lakers want to see what kind of strength the Hawks can win 12 consecutive wins in the playoffs.

And Liu Mang's freehand breakthrough skills at the beginning made the Lakers very jealous!

With the ability of the left hand, it is not only the left side that is threatened, because the left side has a threat, and the right side of the attack becomes easier.

Seeing Liu Mang's breakthrough move, Kobe Bryant had an idea almost immediately, he also had to practice his left hand!

The Lakers started to test the strength of the Hawks, while the Hawks used Liu Mang to take advantage of Kobe's unsuitable singles at the beginning, and tried to withstand O'Neal's opening attacks as much as possible.

Relatively speaking, O'Neal's singles when he was physically fit were too inexplicable, and there were a dozen on the inside.

Liu Mang's breakthrough here, one is that Kobe's defensive actions are getting more and more rough, since it is difficult to predict, Kobe Bryant chose to use physical contact instead of skills, on the inside, O'Neal suffered a loss, chose to stay on the line of a reasonable collision area, not to give Ratliff a chance to eat cake, Liu Mang wants to stop and shoot him at close range, only to keep the basket.

The goal of the Lakers is very clear, taking advantage of O'Neal's sufficient physical fitness to play a few more, O'Neal also successfully shot 3 of the opening 3, dunked twice, turned a small hook, and passed a ball to Kobe Bryant, who cut into the basket in the air, and the Lakers scored 8 points at the beginning.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang was 1 of 2, Ratliff dunked once, Raheem had a mid-range shot on the left baseline, the Hawks scored 6 points, trailed by two points at the beginning, and the Hawks called a timeout.

……

The Zen master was a little puzzled and took the tactical board and whistled to gather the Lakers players together.

It seems that the Lakers are playing more smoothly than the Hawks, but the Zen master watched from the sidelines and wondered, the Hawks didn't have any action against O'Neal, watching O'Neal score?

On the Hawks' side, after Liu Mang returned to the bench, he adjusted Kobe's defense so quickly, he felt very uncomfortable, not that he didn't want to shoot two more, but there was no good way, this guy was not a little discouraged after being over, and he immediately caught up, two shots, he could score one or shoot fast, and he was assisted in defense when he got to the bottom line, and there was an O'Neal under the basket.

It is worthy of being the Iron Man who became a player after the first defense back then, which is really powerful, and the defense is not covered.

And O'Neal is obviously much more serious than in the regular season, and actually looks much better physically, which means saving his strength for the playoffs.

The key is that the Lakers don't seem to have any contemptuous thoughts at all, but they are going all out, much more powerful than the Lakers team of the Pistons when they played the Five Tigers in Liu Mang's memory, the Lakers team is completely scattered, and this time the Lakers side OK combination has a lot of passes and cuts, and the opening 8 points, all of which were scored by the two.

Kobe Bryant is using O'Neal's strong single to open up the situation!

But well...... That's exactly what the Eagles wanted......

Watching another "thug" next to him take off his training uniform and tie his jersey into his pants, Liu Mang felt too exaggerated every time he saw this guy standing next to him!

The Lakers rely on fat men to win the world? We've got that on our side, too!

……

After the timeout, the Lakers were still in the starting lineup, Fisher, Kobe, Devin George, Malone, O'Neal.

The Eagles had a massive rotation on their side, and they only played three minutes in the opening game with three substitutions!

The female love trio was all replaced, and Stockton, Boozer, and Ostertag were replaced!

The most feared Ostertag was replaced by the other party, and he was also replaced by the new and old combination of Stockton and Boozer, and the most worried inside line on the Zen master's side came up.

How are the Eagles going to visit O'Neal?

Before the game, the Zen master thought about various ways that the Hawks might defend against O'Neal, so he put Fisher, a three-pointer, into the starter better to open up space for O'Neal.

However, after the game restarted, O'Neal continued to ask for the ball on the inside, and the Eagles still chose to defend alone......

There is no defensive tactic to speak of, it is a single defense......
