Kobe Bryant just cut into the left side of the three-second zone after blocking and dismantling, turned around and just blocked Prince behind him and was about to ask for the ball, when he saw Muhammad in front of him, without the ball!

Although Muhammad was surprised that Liu Mang yelled directly on the sidelines, it had become a habit to listen to the arrangement, and decisively gave up defending Samaki Walker, and intercepted Kobe Bryant, who just cut in.

Kobe Bryant also heard Liu Mang's roar, and felt that this guy was crazy! Gave up outside defense in order to defend yourself?

Fox immediately passed the ball to Samaki Walker, Samaki Walker lived up to expectations, 25 percent three-point shooting, the first ball clattered the iron, Ratliff waved his arm, Kobe Bryant and Wang Zhizhi were all pulled out of the three-second zone, and Muhammad grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Hawks' defense has always been criticized, just like now, the Lakers can't understand why the Hawks defend like this, and they make the opponent angry just as Liu Mang let Francis retreat to the free throw line.

This kind of conceptual habit is not something that can be changed in a year or two, until there is a figure like Rondo in the point guard position in the future, and people begin to have this kind of awareness, and even Kidd has not many teams will put him two meters, until the emergence of Rondo, a pseudo-traditional point guard.

Who is the best traditional point guard in history? Stockton, but Stockton is by no means a scorer, he was one of the most accurate shooters in the 80s and 90s, from the end of his three-year rookie contract until the age of 35, he has never averaged less than 14 points per game.

Almost all of the players who have played in college for more than 20 years have even entered the NBA after graduating from college, and they all have solid basic skills, so there are very few "pitchers" in defense.

In general, the position is clear, and it was not until the emergence of James that the era of ambiguous positions began, and all kinds of whimsical offensive and defensive tactics began to come out, and it was several years later.

Therefore, when Liu Mang chooses defense based on the opponent's scoring probability, the deep-rooted defensive habits of this era make others not feel how "wonderful" this defense is, but feel that it is gambling.

Now the Lakers' idea is like this, Kobe Bryant feels that Liu Mang is targeting him, and he secretly thinks that he will never lend the court to this kid for training in the future! Definitely won't help him find a trainer!

Jason Terry pushed in, Raheem continued to play inside singles, the Lakers' interior defense was clear, Raheem singled and clamped, and Samaki Walker and Fox sandwiched Raheem.

At this time, Muhammad went to the line again to block Jason Terry, Raheem gave it to Jason Terry, Fisher came up in time to block Jason Terry, at this time Prince was empty, Jason Terry divided the ball Prince, Prince received the ball and was just about to shoot, suddenly saw a mad dog-like Kobe pounced, Prince raised his hand, quickly retracted, took a step to the side, and then ......

Bryant pounced on the audience......

The Hawks home fans are bad, and a few rich aunts sitting on the sidelines are obviously wearing plus-size T-shirts from the Rogue League, but they are shouting "Kobe Bryant, I love you......" and they are holding Kobe Bryant and not letting go, if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's small flat head this year, there are definitely several bright red lip prints on the big bald head, Prince slowly adjusted for more than a second to shoot three-point shots, like training, three-point hits!

After seeing Prince shoot the basketball, the aunts let Kobe Bryant go, and Liu Mang on the other side of the court silently mourned for the little blacksmith, and then had vigilance, be careful of the aunt when saving the ball in the future...... But the fans of our team are amazing!

Kobe Bryant didn't know how to react, this kind of fan was the first time he had encountered it! Whether it's really his fans or fake, Kobe himself can't figure it out......

However, this situation can probably only happen this once, and the referee immediately went over to warn that if this happened again, they would be ejected from the game, and the Eagles would be whistled for a technical foul.

That's the rule, blow the home fans for technical fouls, and the opponent also has free throws.

Liu Mang saw that the referee did not continue the game with the ball but went to warn those fans, so regretful, he still wanted to see this scene again, and he didn't know if he was caught by the live broadcast camera just now and sent to the eyes of the Chinese and American fans in front of the TV.

In a small episode, the Lakers went on offense.

A tactic will not be used because of a failure, the triangle offense is the core of the Lakers' tactics, but when the single core and the double core, the style of play will be different.

Kobe Bryant continued to block and dismantle with Fox's top arc, Kobe's worries came over, that damn bastard was targeting him, Muhammad didn't need Liu Mang to shout this time, he came up directly to wrap up, Samaki Walker had no one to guard him, he still pulled out of the three-point line, mainly because he would shoot three points, not necessarily shot.

The vacancy has come out, and the Lakers are asking for the vacant position, but at this moment, Fox, who is holding the ball, doesn't know why he really doesn't want to pass to Samaki Walker, but he still passes it.

Sure enough, Samaki Walker missed his second three-point shot!

Sometimes you don't have to have a 25 percent shooting percentage to definitely shoot 1 out of 4, and sometimes you can shoot 5 or 6 shots in one game and 2 shots in the second game, and you can also shoot 25 percent from the field.

This time the Hawks were well prepared, Raheem rushed in to grab the defensive rebound, and Jason Terry was on the move!

Jason Terry rushed across the halfcourt, and the aging Fox was not as fast as he was in his early 30s, chasing a few steps before giving up, and Jason Terry rushed to the free throw line to shoot a two-point jumper.

10 to 2!

The Hawks started the game with a 10-2 lead!

As long as targeted changes are made, the Lakers' current roster will not be able to fight back, which is the main reason why the Lakers have a poor regular season record this year and were pressed by the Spurs in the playoffs.

Old!

Time is an irreversible thing, and they have retained almost all of their core members during the three-game winning streak, but this year it has really aged completely, including O'Neal has started to decline.

OK is here, and the two can play with the pitcher, and if O is not there, then K can't help but pick it.

Just like most of the Lakers' games this season, when encountering a first-class team, the Lakers' regular style of play can't be opened, and Kobe Bryant began to do it himself.

This year is the beginning of Kobe's personal ability to the peak, once there was an average of 31 + 7 + 6 performance per game, O'Neal only declined after he came back, and he continued to play Raheem one-on-one, and the effect was not bad, whether it was Rahim or Prince, he couldn't give Kobe too many restrictions, he could only pinch him, Kobe pulled to the mid-distance single, and the pinch could only be on the outside, because Samaki Walker didn't have to open up space, Wang Zhizhi and Samaki Walker couldn't be unguarded under the basket, and the Lakers' outside shooters finally had the opportunity to cut and shoot three points.

However, the Hawks grabbed Raheem's point of chisel, and the Lakers couldn't stop it either, so they could only wrap it up.

The two top stars of the 96 golden generation have been competing for more than half a quarter.

At the time of the official timeout, the Hawks still maintained their lead, 22-13, and the Hawks started the game strongly, relying on the defense against the Lakers at the beginning of the game, and took a nine-point lead.

The Zen master, who originally wanted the players to solve the problem on their own, finally couldn't help it! Substitution tactics are started.

Samaki Walker's point is crucial to the Lakers' existing interior defense, and his defense and wrapping are indispensable for the Lakers' weak interior line, so he has not been replaced.

But this point was going to be played bad by the Hawks, and the Zen master could only replace Samaki Walker with a lineup of Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Robert Horry, and Wang Zhizhi.

The Zen master is also a ruthless person, the Hawks bullied Samaki Walker three-point is extremely unstable, he directly took Samaki Walker, and did not replace Mark Madsen and Medvedenko, two big forwards who have little shooting ability, and directly sent Kobe Bryant plus four pitchers.

The Hawks are also preparing to make substitutions, Liu Mang was going to hold the ball and shoot a few, at this time Coach Kruger must replace two short insiders, plus him and a pitcher and a player who rushes to grab rebounds, but before Liu Mang left the bench, he subconsciously wanted to see the annoyed expression of the little blacksmith when he was behind, and glanced at the Lakers bench.

Hey, just in time to see Samaki Walker put on his training clothes, and then only Horry took them off.

Liu Mang immediately turned back and ran to Coach Kruger and whispered a few words.

Coach Kruger also glanced at the Lakers bench, and sure enough......

……

After the timeout, the Lakers, as expected by the Hawks, changed to a lineup of Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Horry, and Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi was so excited today, he was not replaced, and the opportunity to play a full quarter for the first time seemed to have come.

The Zen master ruthlessly changed to a large and four small lineup, mainly because the second team of the Eagles will not have a center, and it doesn't matter if Wang Zhizhi's defense is soft.

However, when he saw the Eagles' rotation lineup, the Zen master's expression of Buddha-nature coaching was a little tense.

The Eagles brought on a lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Boozer, and Mertola.

Although it is only a small change, it can already make the Zen master feel bad!

This lineup is too tall for the Lakers!

The Lakers attacked, and after Liu Mang came on the court, he pasted Kobe Bryant, and then began to go around the front defense.

Kobe Bryant saw Liu Mang sticking up, and impatiently pushed Liu Mang away, Fisher pushed over, Kobe wanted to go up to catch the ball, Liu Mang spared up again to block the passing route, and grabbed Kobe's jersey tightly.

Not to mention, Kobe's current ability is only 94, 79 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, 97 layups, 93 speed, 84 strength, and Kobe Bryant has a lot of advantages, but when he encounters Liu Mang's fast-moving dog skin plaster, he really can't do anything, Kobe Bryant can't ask for the ball!

Kobe didn't expect that it was Liu Mang who was guarding him! And Raheem went to defend Fox, that is, the Hawks took the first step to directly kill Kobe and Fox's option to block and dismantle the top arc, and Kobe and Fox blocked and dismantled in order to get rid of Raheem.

Kobe Bryant couldn't catch the ball, so he pushed Liu Mang and said angrily: "You go away!" ”

This is Kobe's mantra, because he often encounters this kind of defense, at this time Kobe Bryant is running inside, and he wants to simply ask for the ball back, he is waiting for Liu Mang to reply "I won't go".

But......

Liu Mang's answer was unexpected by Kobe, and Liu Mang asked suspiciously: "Why should I go away?" ”

Why?

Kobe Bryant seemed to have opened the door to a new world, he said trash talk, and the opponent actually asked why? All of a sudden, Kobe thought of a lot of things and felt a philosophical breath......

It's been consumed for more than ten seconds, plus more than six seconds that Fisher pushed over, the Lakers have little time left to attack, and Fisher didn't wait for Kobe to be in a good position, and he burst out!

Fisher's muscles are really not covered, the 28-year-old is at his peak, he was stunned to squeeze through Prince and break inside, Murtola took it back, Fisher divided Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi hit a long two-point shot.

When the person who opened up the space shot accurately, the Lakers' offense stabilized a lot.

The offense and defense switched, the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, Rahim pulled to the left baseline mid-distance, and Prince went to the right bottom corner.

Seeing that Liu Mang was about to reach the top arc, the two big men on both sides of the three-second zone forcibly squeezed Horry, a thin short big forward, and Wang Zhizhi, a weak center who is mainly shooting in the NBA, into a reasonable collision zone.

Simple and crude!

The Lakers have an offensive lineup, but there is a lack of Samaki Walker, and the tonnage of the interior line is seriously insufficient.

It's time for the Hawks to attack again, this time Kobe Bryant sat directly in the low position to play single, pressing Liu Mang behind him, Liu Mang also worked hard to drill forward behind Kobe, and Kobe Bryant was just sticking together, Fisher passed to Kobe, Kobe just received the ball, Boozer struck over, Kobe scored Horry, and Horry received the ball and shot three-pointed......

Miss!

The biggest problem with a lineup like the Lakers is that if they can't shoot, the offense is really over, because there is no rebounding.

At the same time, the Hawks are also betting on the opponent's bad outside hand, and the solution is very simple, whoever throws it in, will change a defender to pinch Kobe.

This time, the Eagles are indeed betting that if the opponent really shoots completely from the outside, it is really possible to be blown up by the opponent.

However, Kobe Bryant always needs to be caught in order to be able to defend it, that is, the Hawks will definitely leak people on the outside, and they will leak people anyway, and the Hawks will not change to a more mobile lineup, so that Boozer, who has excellent arm span and strong strength, plus Mentola, can also have a strong interior air advantage on the offensive end.

The Lakers' offensive strategy was not destroyed by the Hawks, because Liu Mang's strategy not only did not destroy the Lakers' tactical purpose, but let the Lakers' tactical purpose be directly achieved.

However, in such a simple situation where there is a chance to shoot, the Lakers can't shoot accurately!

They played awkwardly, they were a three-time champion team, how could they have been so easy to shoot?

Not adapting to the old age, the Lakers' offense has problems again, and this year's Lakers are about to collapse, mainly because the team's lineup is older.

Liu Mang advanced over, and the Eagles also had shortcomings in this lineup, and they couldn't fight back.

After advancing to the front court, Liu Mang saw that Boozer and Murtola had taken up positions on the inside again, grabbed the ball and was about to pass, Kobe Bryant was very excited this time, and jumped high to intercept Liu Mang's pass.

However, Liu Mang looked like he had dropped the ball, and he was caught to death, and then took the ball back...... The big hand has made meritorious service again!

Liu Mang jumped up and hit a three-point shot.

The fans at the scene saw Liu Mang's shot this time, and the cheers of the audience suddenly rose, Kobe Bryant was shaken out of the sky by a small feint, Liu Mang had already thrown the ball out and taken it back in the process of passing, it seemed to be a simple action, but it was handsome!

Kobe Bryant's face was gloomy, he took a deep breath and endured it!

Kobe Bryant calmly ran to the frontcourt, and the Hawks didn't return to defense very quickly, but because the Lakers lineup was too old, and the front line was a combination of 34-year-old and 33-year-old veterans, the pace of advancement was quite slow.

Kobe Bryant also slowly went to the frontcourt, ready to organize the offense with the ball on his own.

Kobe Bryant had already figured out how to single Liu Mang, but when he arrived in the frontcourt, he found that Liu Mang did not post it, but was talking to Raheem, who was defending Fox at the free throw line.

"Ace, do you need to change your guard?" Raheem asked.

"No, without O'Neal here, this No. 8 is useless, he may pass the ball to Fox in a while." Liu Mang seemed to respond casually.

"You're right." Rahim replied.

When Kobe Bryant heard this, he was so angry that his facial features directly showed his anger!

him!

……

Little blacksmith, bite the bait!

Next, Kobe Bryant first forced Liu Mang to twist his body and scored two points in Murtola's defense, and then forced a long-range two-point shot under Kobe and Rahim's bag, and his strength was very good.

But this kind of forced play is not a safe way to play after all, after Kobe Bryant scored three goals in a row, Kobe Bryant time level 4 trigger, stubborn level 5 trigger, began to play singles.

It's true that Kobe Bryant is strong, but he scores, and the Hawks follow suit.

Kobe Bryant has always been a high shot and high score, and he can maintain the same efficiency when the number of shots is much larger than usual, which is the most buggy point of Kobe, except for Kobe, it is difficult for anyone to maintain the same efficiency when taking 40 shots and 20 shots.

This is something that no other top scorer can compare to Kobe, who is the kind of monster who can contract a team's shot and be more efficient than playing a team offense.

But there must still be iron, Kobe Bryant in the regular time, is about 9 of 20 shots, 11 iron, with his style of play, it is very efficient, 30 shots, it is almost 16 iron, and the iron production is amazing.

In particular, Kobe Bryant has not yet reached the level where one person has to be the runner-up and the whole team in the future, and he has been sandwiched more, and his efficiency has been greatly affected.

The Hawks played steadily here, Kobe Bryant stuck tightly, Liu Mang passed the inside, Kobe couldn't help but shrink, Liu Mang shot, anyway, the inside line has a rebounding advantage, relying on this style of play to withstand the impact of Kobe Bryant's 15 points in a row when he first became powerful, and then after Kobe's state began to decline, the Hawks took the initiative in their hands.

Now the Lakers team without O'Neal, in fact, the strength is not much different from the years when Kobe Bryant led the team alone, or even worse, basically relying on Kobe Bryant alone, the strength of the seventh and eighth in the West, Kobe himself is definitely not as strong as when he led the team alone, counting O'Neal This year, the Lakers barely have the strength of 50 wins.

But O'Neal is not there, the Lakers are not as good as the lineup in 06 and 07, at that time there was still Odom, and now there is Fisher, only compared to the strength, Fisher and Odom are not too far behind.

Sometimes it's not that Kobe doesn't pass the ball, but that he obviously attracts the bag and passes out, and his teammates can't shoot, and Kobe, who hasn't learned patience yet, doesn't pass when he plays.

The Hawks tried their best to limit Kobe Bryant's scoring, and others gradually looked at it, although in the end Kobe Bryant got the sixteenth 40+ of the season, and Kobe Bryant had 43 points after the third quarter, but the Hawks were gradually pulling away a little bit, and after the third quarter, the Hawks led the Lakers by 19 points 83-64.

Liu Mang also scored 21 points at the end of the third quarter.

The third-level daily tasks were completed, and the score had reached the safety stage, and Liu Mang's plan was successful.

To disrupt the Lakers' regular style of play first, and then to break the Lakers' targeted response is to bully the Lakers' aging lineup now, and they can't play without OK.

Forcing Kobe Bryant into a stubborn mode, the Hawks won most of the game in O'Neal's absence, and finally relied on the lineup advantage to easily lead by 19 points in the third quarter.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Coach Kruger sent Jason Terry and Raheem to play with a lineup of Dean Grove, Neuber, and Kevin Wesley, trying to hold off the Lakers' Jedi counterattack.

However, the Lakers actually raised the white flag like this! The Zen master was not letting Kobe play.

During the intermission after the third quarter, Kobe and Zen had an argument on the sidelines, Kobe wanted to play, but Zen felt that this game should be like this, and O'Neal would come back after the All-Star weekend to fight for the record.

If the Zen master only said that he would wait for the All-Star weekend to fight for the record, Kobe Bryant would not have a big problem, but when it came to waiting for O'Neal to return and then fight for the record, this made Kobe very unhappy.

The rift between the pair of master and apprentice is getting deeper and deeper.

But this Liu Mang has nothing to do with it, it's good to look at the excitement, today I got 21 points and 6 assists, the task was completed, the game was won, and I also showed off a few fake fax shots, and I also clocked in and out of work in three quarters, which is beautiful.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Lakers 107-95 and improved their record to 25-23.

Liu Mang felt a strong look with murderous intent before leaving, and when he looked back, it was Kobe Bryant at the entrance of the player's tunnel on the other side.

It seems that the All-Star Weekend is over, and it is the six consecutive games in the West, and the second game is to play the Lakers......

Liu Mang has not had much pressure in this game, but he will play against the Lakers in the next game, and there are still ten days, and he actually feels Alexander!

This guy who shot 36 and 19 iron today, although he is stubborn, but he is weirdly good at learning the lesson of failure and taking revenge next time! And O'Neill will also come back at that time, and Liu Mang will inexplicably feel the pressure.
