77. You're not Kobe Bryant
Liu Mang stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and put distracting thoughts away.
At this time, Eddie Jones, who was standing next to the three-second zone, fired again: "Hey, No. 1 rookie, can you make a free throw?" If you don't score, be careful to be replaced by your coach. ”
Liu Mang glanced at Eddie Jones with disdain, these stupid Americans, this is called trash talk? It is mainly for cultural reasons, it is true that Liu Mang thinks Pippen's "postman does not work on weekends" is very classic, but if this level of ridicule is placed on Chinese players with the same strength and self-confidence, it is basically impossible to have an effect, just look at Yao Ming's free throws.
Three free throws and two hits!
It's not bad, three points in an attack is earned, two points are normal, and getting one point is actually not a loss in this era!
Eddie Jones was surprised to see Liu Mang, who was not affected by malicious fouls and trash talk, this rookie was calmer than he thought.
Actually, Eddie Jones doesn't have much hope of winning this year, and the Heat management is clearly aiming to take Yao Ming or Jay Williams and Mike Dunleavy, the three hot rookies, and the task this year is to put it badly, and it may not be a year or two, the Heat team wants to sell tickets while there is still Mourning to complete the rebuild.
So Eddie Jones is more interested in bullying rookies than winning.
Strickland dribbled over, and the Heat started to run, with the intention of grinding time, because a lot of opportunities that came out but weren't completely open were completely ignored, just to press the tempo.
The Heat's swings are very distinctive, and Pat Riley is really good, making it impossible to make sure that the defensive system does not collapse, so that they went from 20 wins to more than 40 wins after selecting Wade in 03 and snatching Lamar Odom to enter the playoffs, attracting O'Neal's attention.
Stunned to spend only 10 seconds left, Eddie Jones came out to catch the ball, Alonzo Mourning wanted to come out to block the pick-and-roll, and Eddie Jones said that he wanted to single-handedly play this rookie.
Yes, it was Liu Mang who defended the opponent's most aggressive outside line, and he was used to it.
But Liu Mang is very curious, what is the relationship between Eddie Jones and Kobe? It looks so special! In addition to being a little older, it looks the same as Kobe Bryant, who was still a little more tender a few years ago, and the No. 6 jersey is also like No. 8!
"Eddie Jones, 84 Ability, 74 Offense, 86 Defense, 89 Speed, 75 Power, Extremely High Shooting Tendency."
Don't think about it, Liu Mang posted it directly, whether it is from the impression in his memory, or the characteristics of the players given by the system, or the playing style of Eddie Jones that he saw on the sidelines just now, Liu Mang knows that Eddie Jones is good at cutting and shooting, and his physical fitness is very strong, but he is average with the ball, and he is obviously a defensive titan 3D pioneer template Pippen loves to shoot.
Exactly the same action as Eddie Jones, Liu Mang went up directly and put his elbow against Eddie Jones's chest, sticking tightly.
This kind of defense was on Liu Mang, and Liu Mang was a little uncomfortable, but Eddie Jones had long been used to it, and resisted the thin Liu Mang to the three-point line.
"Oh, you little scoundrel, try harder......"
A lewd cry came from the side, and Eddie Jones almost gave up on his feet, and quickly grabbed the ball and lifted it without a mistake.
I'll it, Eddie Jones saw Liu Mang who kept spewing trash talk like a machine gun on his body, and felt that the world was changing too fast! When did a rookie be so good at trash talk? Isn't it supposed that we old birds should abuse rookies with trash talk?
"Your breakthrough is so bad, it's too slow, do you think your offensive time is going to be up and you don't shoot?" Liu Mang said and stretched out his hand to block Eddie Jones's eyes.
Eddie Jones saw that there were only three seconds left in the countdown on the rebound, so he reacted and hurried to shoot, but Liu Mang's hand was in front of his sight, and he forced a shot to hit the iron.
Actually, Liu Mang knew before he came up in this game that the difficulty was definitely not offense, the Heat's offensive efficiency was almost the first in the league, defense was not the focus, even if they didn't defend them, they couldn't score many points, the difficulty was on the offensive end, and the opponent would not be able to play well if the defensive end was close.
There was chaos under the basket, four muscular men were fighting for a rebound on the inside, the ball was spotted in the air and flew several times, and Eddie Jones, Strickland, and Jim Jackson were already back on guard.
In fact, Alonzo Mourning's rebounding has always been average, of course, relative to super rebounding centers, his best year is 11 boards per game, far from other super centers, the main purpose is to interfere with the Lakers to grab rebounds and play fast break in the first time.
Ratliff eventually relied on his broad frame to fend off Alonzo Mourning and Brian Grant, with Muhammad jumping up to take the rebound.
Alonzo Mourning and Brian Grant, who lost their rebounds, immediately ran back to defense.
By the time Liu Mang dribbled past halftime, the Heat had already fallen into a defensive position again.
Eddie Jones defended up, this time he didn't stick as close as last time, but normal defense, a little more than half a step away, not far away, can prevent Liu Mang from throwing strong shots and Liu Mang from breaking through with speed.
The template Pippen is not given for nothing, and the best defensive team regulars are not just casually, plus Eddie Jones is calmer than Payton, plus he is younger, Liu Mang doesn't feel too much defensive pressure!
Probably thinking that a rookie can spew trash talk so much, and he is sorry for his identity as an old bird if he doesn't spray, Eddie Jones started his lame trash talk: "What's wrong? Still want to make a foul? Do you only have the ability to make fouls? ”
Liu Mang wanted to roll his eyes, but his mouth opened again: "I just only make fouls!" It's enough to deal with you, you look like Kobe Bryant but you're not Kobe. ”
Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding.
The last thing Eddie Jones wants to mention in his career is that he was squeezed out by Kobe Bryant that year, in the 1998 All-Star weekend, Kobe Bryant, who played him as a substitute again, actually became an All-Star starter, which has made his face irrelevant, and after the end of this season, the Lakers also traded him away, just to correct Kobe, who was still a 19-year-old in the second year, to play the starter, so that he missed the opportunity to win the championship with O'Neal.
The most important thing is Liu Mang's sentence that you look like Kobe but not Kobe, which deeply hurt Eddie Jones's young heart.
If you see through it, you can't say it! It's okay to give some face!
Eddie Jones immediately pressed up, but reason didn't make him reach over, and he wanted to bully the rookie in front of him with his body.
However, Eddie Jones obviously underestimated Liu Mang's speed, and when he saw Eddie Jones stepping over, Liu Mang smashed the ball under Eddie Jones' open crotch and jumped forward......
It's over!
Wear the crotch!
The fans at the scene let out an exclamation, Liu Mang, a rookie, actually faced Eddie Jones, who was the best defensive second-team, and wore his crotch!
Regardless of whether this ball can be scored or not, this pass will become the top five goals of the day on the local TV sports channel in Atlanta!
