"Wow......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The Phillips Arena was full of exclamations and applause.

For the New Year, of course, there must be the sound of gongs and drums of lion lanterns and dragon lanterns.

In order to develop the Chinese market, the management of the Eagles also put a lot of effort into inviting the Suixi men's lion dance team, the inheritor of intangible culture, from Suixi County, Guangdong Province, China, to perform the lion dance at the rookie game of the NBA All-Star Weekend!

Even Liu Mang doesn't know about this!

In order to broadcast the picture to a camera when Liu Mang showed a surprised expression.

Of course, it was mainly because of the surprise of the Chinese fans, as well as the Chinese and Asian fans who came to Atlanta.

The palm-sized wooden stakes, the height is three or four meters, each stake is more than two meters apart, a total of seven wooden stakes, one in the middle, six around, two heads and two people dressed up in the lion dance, in the hexagonal stake group "dance"!

Not to mention most Americans who saw the lion dance for the first time, even the tens of thousands of Chinese fans at the scene let out bursts of exclamations.

Master lion dance masters, they don't need special effects, it looks like they are flying, especially the two lion dancers swoop towards each other on the two wooden stakes, and then pass perfectly up and down and fall on each other's wooden stakes, and everyone can't help but stand up and applaud.

"Wow, Ace, will the people of your country break Nice on an empty stomach? That's amazing! Will you too? Gasol, an art lover, couldn't help but ask Liu Mang, with little stars in his eyes.

"Yes, each of us knows the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, one punch can kill a cow, look at my country's bald head better not to mess with, they are all from Shaolin Temple." Liu Mang was happy to see it, but he was a little powerless to complain, because Gasol was not the first person to ask him, Boozer and Prince both ran over from the opposite team to ask him, although there was another Chinese player Yao Ming, but after all, he was not familiar with it, and his teammates in the audience and the stars of other teams came to ask, Gasol was quite subtle, and he came to ask when it was almost over.

However, Francis, who has a good relationship with Yao Ming, and the star who has a good relationship with Francis, also asked Yao Ming to hurt his eggs, and he still had a big egg pain.

Spit and complain, brought the quintessence of the country to a foreign country, Liu Mang feels good! This can be regarded as a kind of cultural output, although the orientation is a little strange, as if every Chinese will fly around like this, people are children's skills, ten or twenty years of exercise.

The atmosphere of the scene has been stirred up, and after the pre-match performance, the players of both teams appeared!

The Hawks' home DJ began to introduce every rookie and sophomore player to people all over the world, if the All-Star Game is to bring an ordinary player into the ranks of top stars, then the Rookie Game is to bring a player who people are not so familiar with into the public eye, so that people can see the potential of these people.

However, this is the home of the Eagles, and when the rookie team was introduced one by one, the biggest cheers were Prince and Boozer, and Yao Ming was slightly inferior, after all, most of the cheers for Yao Ming were only Chinese, Prince and Boozer were loved by local fans, and because Liu Mang received cheers from Chinese fans.

In the end, when Liu Mang came on the field, the cheers were completely at the climax! More than 37,000 fans, double the number of fans at the Eagles' home stadium!

Liu Mang really has the urge to play for a while, but forget it, he is no longer a rookie, but a young star who has become famous, and he has to find a way for his peers who are still struggling, and he can't block the road.

If you want to block it, it's not to block this kind of useless road......

After the American Imperial Anthem is over, the game is about to begin!

The rookie team fielded a starting lineup of Jay Williams, Manu Ginobili, Prince, Stoudemire, Yao Ming.

The sophomore team fielded a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Richardson, Battier, Kirilenko, and Chandler.

Yao Ming and Chandler stood in the center of the court, and every time this comparison made people exclaim, Chandler was already a big center at two meters and 16 meters, and Yao Ming was half a head taller......

Chandler saw that Yao Ming was full of fighting spirit!

Chandler sees himself as the best center in the class of 2001, and he certainly wants to beat Yao Ming, who has been praised by American experts and media.

The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game and throws the ball into the air.

Chandler relied on his explosive speed to flick the ball to the backcourt.

Liu Mang received the ball and immediately advanced quickly!

The sophomore team pressed it en masse!

Hurry up! Simple and clear, at the beginning of the game, while the opponent Yao Ming was still there, the strategy of the second-grade team was to play a wave fast.

Liu Mang advanced quickly, sprinting towards the basket with big strides, and the momentum felt like he was going to dunk directly.

How could the rookie team let Liu Mang get his wish? Unlike the sophomore team, which was a little slacking off from the beginning, the rookie team wanted to show their ability and prove themselves in front of the world, and Jay Williams, Stoudemire, Prince, and Ginobili blocked Liu Mang......

There is a huge difference between Liu Mang and the first grade in the second grade, and the rookie team has no tacit understanding! All very positive, and then four people sandwich one person!

Liu Mang saw that he was about to be beaten, and threw the ball directly on the rebound......

As soon as Chandler won the jump ball, he rushed to the front court, rushed into the free throw line and just as the ball bounced off the rebound, Chandler flew to press the ball back to the basket!

So grumpy at the start? The fans at the scene just rested their throats for a while and began to cheer again.

Liu Mang's predictability of the pass, as well as Chandler's explosive physical fitness, were vividly displayed.

Chandler obviously felt the gap, not his own gap, but the gap of the person who passed the ball, and couldn't help but glance at Jay Williams, the consciousness of the two passing may not be too far apart, just speaking of consciousness, Liu Mang and Jay Williams may be worse than possible, but this kind of accuracy and the feeling of making teammates feel very comfortable when receiving the ball is the most comfortable ball in Chandler in the past two years.

At the beginning of the sophomore game, he played a beautiful offense, which made the rookie team feel the seriousness of the sophomore team.

Of course, the rookie team has to come back!

Jay Williams advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Mang, Arenas, he didn't like either of them, and when he saw Liu Mang pass the ball, he decided to pass the ball and get an assist!

Jay Williams just arrived outside the three-point line, and the surprise was not Liu Mang's defense, but Battier's defense.

Now Yao Ming is standing under the basket, Chandler is blocking behind Yao Ming, not letting Yao Ming have a chance to catch the ball under the basket, and he has to catch the ball in the three-second zone to catch it.

Prince opened up space in the left corner on the weak side, Ginobili in the right corner, and Stoudemire in the right midrange, and the rookie team had a decent position.

However, the defensive position of the sophomore team made Jay Williams very confused, Jason Richardson guarded the three-point player Prince in the weak bottom corner, Chandler guarded the basket and Yao Ming's card position, the defense of the low post and the weak side was very strict, but the strong defense, Liu Mang and Kirilenko surrounded Stoudemire, and Ginobili in the bottom corner was empty!

Is this a casual defense? Sophomores don't pay attention to this game and play casually?

Jay Williams won't miss the opportunity and passes to Ginobili in the bottom right corner.

Just when Jay Williams felt that he could have a great chance to return an assist right away, in front of Ginobili, who had just received the ball, Kirilenko appeared!

The moment Jay Williams passed the ball, Kirilenko pounced on Ginobili at the same time.

At this time, Ginobili had no chance to shoot, but his ball quotient was super high, and he thought that Stoudemire had only Liu Mang on defense, and immediately passed it over.

When Stoudemire received the ball, Liu Mang immediately contracted the inside line, and Chandler pinched Yao Ming together, guarding the basket, Stoudemire didn't dare to shoot the ball in the middle distance, and he didn't have a long-range shot in his rookie year.

Stoudemire dribbled very well, rushing inside, Chandler immediately stepped out of the reasonable collision zone, waved his hands, blocked Stoudemire's breakthrough route, waved his hand to interfere with Stoudemire's cross, at the same time, Liu Mang did nothing else, jumped in front of Yao Ming, and the second line of defense prevented Yao Ming from receiving the ball.

A major feature of the Jazz defense in the future civilian era, guided passing!

Deliberately give the opponent the first offensive space, then use excellent defensive stretch to expand out, give the opponent no shooting ability to receive the ball inside, then shrink, and finally completely zone cut.

When Stoudemire reached the three-second zone, he really didn't pass the ball, and he couldn't hit Chandler, the key is that the first grade didn't have a very active training and relatively perfect offensive and defensive plan before the game like the second grade, someone was going to do it with the ball, and everyone else was stunned.

Stoudemire reached the three-second zone and faced Chandler and stopped the ball! Seeing that he couldn't rush in, he threw his hand high!

"Smack"

Chandler's one-on-one big hat on the front!

Battier grabbed the ball alertly, Liu Mang bounced out of the three-second zone like a leopard, rushed towards the frontcourt, and the second-grade team attacked with all the troops!

Liu Mang reached the three-point line, Battilma passed to Liu Mang, Jay Williams posted it towards Liu Mang, and the attention of the first-year team was also attracted to Liu Mang, this guy is a famous counterattack maniac in the league.

At this time, Jason Richardson took advantage of the rookie team's inattention and took the lead in rushing through the half!

Liu Mang threw a high lob ball with a very high arc, and the people around him thought that the pass was out of his hand, but when the ball fell, Jason Richardson just reached the free throw line, and it happened to fall into the hands of Jason Richardson, Jason Richardson took advantage of the situation, turned 360 degrees, and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

360-degree turning windmill!

Carter's creative dunk in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest! is also a super-first-class physical fitness man, and it is not difficult for Jason Richardson to do this dunk!

Although it is not as amazing as Carter's first time, it has a different kind of awesomeness, which can actually replicate Carter's dunk, and last year's dunk king Jason Richardson once again proved his strength! makes people have greater expectations for his performance in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest...... It's not just a duel between Liu Mang and Carter! And him, defending dunk king Jason Richardson!

Liu Mang is also very satisfied with this pass, and this kind of opponent's defense is completely unsystematic, and there is such a physical man in his teammates, so he can play such a beautiful match.

At this time, Liu Mang was also very happy to pass a few of these balls.

What excites Liu Mang the most is that the defensive system is effective!

There is nothing to say about the defensive talent of this squad in the second year, Kirilenko almost won the best defensive player, Chandler even won the best defensive player, Battier best defensive team, Jason Richardson although the defense is a little second, but the physical fitness is good, and the defensive shooter is no problem.

Such a lineup with excellent defensive talent, for a defensive system that has just been exposed to it quickly, of course, it can't be as tacit as a team that has played for a long time, but against the recruits who are more tender than them, this is enough!

It's time for the first-year team to attack again, and Jay Williams was shocked by the second-year team's defensive counterattack, it's just a rookie game, don't be so serious!

Arenas on the sidelines and Liu Mang on the field If Jay Williams thinks, the former will say: It's just that serious, it's just that you are unhappy.

The latter might start by saying: I'm sorry we were too serious...... Then he said, "You bite me!"

Looking at the defensive position of the sophomore, Jay Williams saw that Ginobili in the bottom corner didn't dare to pass, so he chose to break through!

Jay Williams' obsessive self-confidence met the one-on-one defender Battier, and Jay Williams felt like it was dark in front of him as soon as he bent down to look for a hole in Battier's defense......

"Damn!" Jay Williams saw the big slap in front of him, what kind of defense is this! Blindfolded!

Liu Mang saw that Battier used the blindfold method, and suddenly felt that Battier was so pitiful, as if he had just been by Kobe Bryant for 45 points not long ago, and then developed this trick, but in the latest Grizzlies and Lakers match, Battier used the blindfold method, and was by Kobe Bryant for 56 points.

This hateful little blacksmith loves to bully honest people!

However, the defensive blacksmith is useless, and the role of defending Jay Williams is great, Jay Williams had to take a step back to seek a breakthrough, at this time Battier saw how far Jay Williams was from the three-point line, and immediately pasted it, which is far enough, even if Jay Williams passed Battier, it doesn't matter, Battier is not afraid that Jay Williams will make a stop-and-go jump shot, it has been studied before the game, this guy's mid-range shot is only within the distance of the free throw line, and the outside line is blind to a few shots, such a long distance, Battier is confident he can catch up.

Jay Williams is not the kind of rookie who is really talented like James, Jay Williams, a rookie, is cornered in the face of Battier, who has already had a year of experience! But the rookie team didn't have any tacit understanding, and no one came to block him, and he was about to be forced to retreat to the center circle by Battier, but fortunately, Ginobili was a strong team player, and he ran out to answer, and Jay Williams passed the ball a little unwillingly.

As soon as Ginobili received the ball, Kirilenko's defense immediately stretched out.

Ginobili also wanted to show himself, ignoring Jay Williams, who ran back to the top arc to ask for the ball, and beckoned Stoudemire to give up his position, he wanted to play his own singles!

The rookie version of Ginobili VS the sophomore outside defense iron gate Kirilenko, who is also a little tender, Liu Mang is so excited to watch the play on the sidelines!

Just as Anthony likes to watch Kobe Bryant and James face off in the All-Star Game, Liu Mang feels the excitement of watching the duel between two top players, and watching the absolute of such an offensive master and a defensive master is the supreme visual enjoyment of basketball!

Ginobili dribbled the ball a few times and suddenly burst towards the left! However, Kirilenko's steps were fast, pressing Ginobili, and did not give Ginobili a chance to enter the three-second zone from the middle, and Ginobili seemed to be stunned, just like that, he was pressed to the left side of the three-second zone by Kirilenko, at this moment, Ginobili suddenly stopped suddenly, Kirilenko thought Ginobili was going to change direction, and took a step to the left, but Ginobili stopped and accelerated to the left again.

But! Kirilenko had already anticipated this, and the foot that took a step to the left kicked on the ground, and with small broken steps, pressed up to the right.

But...... Ginobili is really going to change direction! Grab the ball and twist your body to take a European step! Kirilenko's prediction has been frozen, and Ginobili has taken two steps into the three-second zone!

Chandler's defense came quickly, completely covering Ginobili, and suddenly, Chandler found that the ball in Ginobili's hand was missing, and secretly screamed badly.

Chandler turned his head and saw that Yao Ming had smashed the ball into the basket!

Liu Mang was stunned, this demon knife is really a demon!

Although, this ball has the relationship that Liu Mang did not strictly follow the defensive system to collect the inside line, which led to being scored by the opponent, but Ginobili is still pretending to walk the European step when he walks the ball and is still pretending to walk the European step, which is really a graduate of the Argentine National Academy of Drama! It's a drama all over the body! And the timing was too good, using Chandler's defensive prediction, the moment Chandler stepped out in advance to make up for the defense, he passed the ball to Yao Ming's hands, and also made a scene, completely attracted Chandler to the past, and gave Yao Ming a perfect dunk opportunity.

What a demon knife! This treasure that the Spurs picked up with the last pick in the second round in '99 is really against the sky!

After Yao Ming scored, the first-grade team had the experience of the previous round, and hurried back to defense, seeing that the second-grade was so serious, they all found that they might be played to death by the second-grade if they didn't work hard, and they were all very focused.

However, second-year head coach Mike Woodson called a timeout.

When Liu Mang and Yao Ming heard this whistle, they both felt a little regretful, and the two hugged each other, until this rookie game, the scene between the two was over.

The head coach of the first and second grades made an appointment, and when Liu Mang and Yao Ming had a chance to perform, they were replaced.

The fans feel weird, what does it mean to call a timeout at this time?

When the fans saw the staff handing over the training uniforms to Liu Mang and Yao Ming, they immediately understood that these were the starters of the two All-Star games and were going to go down to rest.

There was a dissatisfied "Oh ......" sound at the scene, but there was nothing to do, and more people chose to understand, after all, there was still an All-Star Game to play the day after tomorrow.

Liu Mang came to the sidelines, Yao Ming's scene was over, he didn't!

The fans at the scene watched in amazement as Mike Brown, as the "head coach", handed the tactical board to Liu Mang, and then stood aside and fugue......

The fans let out laughter, this Liu Mang, who had nothing to do with grabbing the tactical board, was still grabbing the tactical board during the All-Star Weekend!

There was a silent resonance among the fans - the head coach who was distressed about coaching Liu Mang! They have all become teaching assistants......

However, this made fans have a more different view of Liu Mang, as can be seen from the two rounds just now, the second grade plays very well, and the first grade is purely talented!

Fans guessed if the offensive and defensive tactics of the second grade were arranged by Liu Mang...... That's amazing! People think of the general manager of the Pacers, the king of the kings!

He can pretend to be forced again, play well, and be a head coach!

Could it be that just like the legend, a new generation of kings was born?

……

"See, Tony, Gilbert, just like me, you only need to guard the inside line with Tyson on the inside, the outside defense has Sean and Richard, their single defense is very strong, you just need to cooperate with Tyson or Paul to hit the inside line when you are on the court, like the first time I defended it was the right choice, the second time it was because I didn't take back the defense, which led to the opponent's dunk, you have to pay attention, Andre you have to play hard, you are the core of the defense, shrink, It's up to you to extend the defense, and Jason is the same, pay attention to counterattacking and catching the ball, and at the same time keep the opponent's weak side pitcher, and don't give the opponent's strong and weak side a chance to pass the ball......"

After arranging the attack, Liu Mang said like the head coach: "Boys, go up and take away the victory!" ”

"What about the offense?" Parker and Arenas asked strangely, they haven't said how to attack yet!

"Uh...... Can anyone stop you from the group of people on the other side? Liu Mang is quite confident in the scoring ability of the two, mainly the defense of the first grade, who has neither ability nor system, just play casually!

"Haha, Ace, you're right! No one can stop me! Parker was a bit reserved, but Arenas was different and responded with a strong positive response.

……

Liu Mang personally demonstrated how to convert this offensive and defensive system, and did not emphasize during the pause, the second-grade team was all high-spirited, on the court, them!

Thereupon...... Fans saw that the second-year began to bully people, after Arenas replaced Liu Mang off the court, he came up more actively than Liu Mang, and on the first-year side, Yao Ming's strength had declined a lot, except for Stoudemire and Yao Ming, the strongest inside line of the rookie team was Boozer, Stoudemire and Boozer were both short and could not challenge Chandler's height, and Boozer's mid-range shooting opportunities were not many, Arenas and Kirilenko were two people in the middle distance.

Boozer has the air in the middle but can't get a shot from the strong side mid-range.

As for going to the weak side of the midrange...... If there are two players on one side who are ready to shoot, it is not called the weak side, and the mid-range power forward, which side he goes, which side is the strong side, the sophomore team just switches Jason Richardson to the other side, and still shows an outside shooter to pass the ball to the opposing point guard.

On the defensive end, the sophomore grinds the rookie team, and on the offensive end, Arenas begins to show his true skills in front of the rookie list!

Three-point shooting, pull-up jump shots, breaking through the basket to Chandler, although Arenas is far from his prime, all kinds of skills are already in shape, the difference is only the maturity and experience of the ball skills, and he will become a first-line player in two years.

The rookie team couldn't stop the onslaught of the sophomore team at all, and they couldn't break through the defense of the sophomore team.

As a result, the fans saw a vigorous half-time slaughter.

59 to 29, the sophomore team really didn't give any face to the rookie team, and the first half did the first-year team 30 points.

This exaggerated crushing makes the fans feel incredible!

Judging from the strength of the players of the two teams, the gap cannot be so big, and the players of this year's rookie team, on the whole, the strength of the rookie year is not much worse than the strength of the players of the class of 01 who played in this year, that is, the second year.

That's the impact of tactics!

There are only two halves of the rookie game, so there are a lot of timeouts in the middle of the game, mainly because the rookie team is beaten indecently, and they repeatedly call timeouts and want to adjust, even if they lose, they can't lose so badly, it's too hard for rookies.

And every time the sophomore team adjusts their tactics and encourages the players, it is not Mike Woodson, but Liu Mang......

The fans were really shocked by Liu Mang this time!

……

There was no suspense in the final result of the rookie game, under the leadership of Coach Liu, the second-year team led by 30 points at halftime, and at halftime, Liu Mang let them play casually, and the victory was in hand, leaving some face for the opponent, and everyone was open to attack.

The second-year team, which played 20 minutes excitedly, also felt that it was too hard, so there was no defense in the second half.

But that was enough, and in the end, the sophomore team won the game by beating the rookie team 117-99.

Arenas is really a ball-grabbing maniac, with 39 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists on 14-of-24 shooting, a game-high score, the team won, and the MVP of the rookie game naturally fell on his head.

However, the focus is not on Arenas, but on the second-year with the tactical board......
