"Shaq O'Neal, Overlord Step Mode. Ability 103, offense 110, defense 89......"

O'Neal is still one of the two best players in the league as long as he gives it his all, and the other is of course the best player right now, Tim Duncan.

After playing for most of the quarter, Liu Mang understood that the contradiction of stimulating or not stimulating the OK combination did not make much sense, the contradiction of the OK combination was already irreconcilable, and the tactics of provocation and differentiation would make them play more violently.

O'Neal squatted under the basket against the home whistle with a dead face, and his vicious offensive and defensive performance beat the Hawks unwanted.

Boozer and Ratliffe were ravaged in turn, with O'Neal scoring 12 points in seven minutes of the first quarter, more than the entire Hawks.

Raheem is glad that he is not an insider, and this time the little rascal also miscalculated!

Boozer and Ratliff were desperate, and when Liu Mang's division strategy told them this time, they were still a little happy and were going to do something.

Well, things are out, but O'Neal who is going all out is released!

Fortunately, O'Neal's biggest problem now is the physical problem, he chiseled 8 times in the first quarter, threw 8 shots and 6 foreign and 5 free throws, and at the same time exploded the Hawks' interior line, his physical fitness was not much better, so that the Hawks finally did not have to face O'Neal after the official timeout in the first quarter.

After Boozer and Ratliff returned to the bench, they looked at Liu Mang with resentment, which was different from the design!

Liu Mang could only show an embarrassed smile.

Liu Mang has some relatives in his heart, which is different from what he expected!

Every time you encounter an OK combination, there is always a problem with the strategy.

Liu Mang feels OK and the combination is toxic!

He really wants to tell Kobe and O'Neal that if you two continue to stay together, it's going to be a fight, so disband!

But it seems that every time I want to disperse the OK combination, but instead let them burst out with weird strength when they compete internally, this pair is a combination full of bugs, how can there be a pair of combinations that are already incompatible, and they can still take a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to win three consecutive championships?

This pair is a bug!

Liu Mang is very sure that Kobe Bryant and O'Neal no longer have the slightest chance to ease the conflict between the two, and the two are almost together, at least when they are still at their peak, there is no chance that the relationship between the two will improve.

Because both of them are too strong and their personalities are too horizontal.

If there is even a chance to turn the relationship between the two around, the Lakers will not send O'Neal away in '04.

Liu Mang watched O'Neal, who scored 12 points and 4 rebounds in a little more than half of the first quarter, and also caused the Hawks to foul 3 times inside, sitting on the bench in a big guy posture, not to mention, and a little sorry for this pair, if they wait patiently together for two years, wait until the defending season after the three consecutive championships fails, and then the Lakers spend a year re-recruiting young instant power and ordinary stars who are willing to win the championship together, instead of being forced to form a giant combination to fight for the championship when the contradiction cannot be eased, It's really possible to rule the NBA for a few more years.

However, although Liu Mang regrets it, this has nothing to do with him, and the powerful Lakers are his more difficult opponents, and he just wants to beat the Lakers.

Glared at by Coach Kruger, who had a solemn face, Liu Mang knew that he had made a mistake this time, there was no way, and occasionally there was indeed a way to make such a strategic mistake...... Well, Liu Mang also understands that the little blacksmith is poisonous, and the strategy of getting involved with this guy will always become strange.

Difficult opponents!

Watching O'Neal go off the court, Kobe Bryant took the second lineup with a murderous face, and Liu Mang cheered up and took the lineup of Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Muhammad on the court.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant brought Brian Shaw, Devin George, Samaki Walker, and Wang Zhizhi to the court.

The Lakers have 4 players who have averaged double-doubles per game this year, Kobe, O'Neal, Fisher, and Wang Zhizhi, which are gone.

Coming back from a timeout, the Hawks possessed the ball.

9 to 17, 8 points behind at the beginning, still at the Lakers home court, Liu Mang felt too much pressure!

Sending the ball to Jason Terry, Liu Mang received the ball from Jason Terry back and advanced it to the front court.

Liu Mang pushed in, the second lineup, on paper, the Hawks have a clear advantage, but the opponent has Kobe...... That's hard to say.

After Liu Mang advanced over, he handed the ball to the low-post Rahim, who defended Rahim with Devin George, and without O'Neal under the basket, Rahim finally had a chance to play alone inside! Easily beat Devin George to score two points.

11-17, with six points remaining.

In O'Neal's absence, the Hawks' offense has become much easier, Raheem has eaten one inside, which has put a little pressure on the Lakers' interior, and Liu Mang can have better offensive tactics next time.

The Lakers didn't have O'Neal's interior defense, but on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant came......

Seeing Kobe Bryant advancing with murderous intent, seeing Jason Terry running around with Brian Shaw, and Raheem following Devin George, Liu Mang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Do these two guys need to be so guarded!

Liu Mang looked at Kobe Bryant who came to the top arc, and he couldn't complain, and came to the top arc to defend Kobe.

Liu Mang stood in front of Kobe Bryant and glanced at the side, fortunately, the two guys were not made to forget their defensive strategy by today's rampant OK combination.

At this time, Brian Shaw was in the bottom corner on the right side, Jason Terry defended very tightly, Wang Zhizhi attracted Muhammad to the basket with his height under the basket, Boozer squatted on the inside, Samaki Walker's mid-range shooting has degraded very badly this year, except for eating cakes under the basket, there is no other big effect, the Lakers squatted under the basket with two interior lines, pulling the weak side defense very open, and on the strong side, Devin George ran and found that no one was following him! He and Samaki Walker are both on the strong side of the left side of the basket, and Kobe Bryant is also at a 45-degree angle on the left side.

The Eagles used zone defense! And constantly compressing the space of the Lakers, Raheem and Boozer are on the left side of the three-second zone, and Muhammad is pinching Wang Zhizhi together, and the defense of Samaki Walker and Devin George is probably a casual shot, Kobe Bryant's casual pass strategy, mainly to prevent Wang Zhizhi, a seven-foot big man, and Kobe Bryant, who is ready to break through at any time.

The defense is very targeted, which is to bully the Lakers for not having good role players...... Or rather, the role players who bullied the Lakers are getting old!

Bryant looked at the Hawks' defense and immediately made a judgment, Devin George and Samaki Walker, these two have too much ability to open up space! The Eagles are completely squatting on the inside, with Wang Zhizhi and Fisher and Fox opening up space in the starting stage, and he and O'Neal are very easy whether they are outside singles or low-post singles, but now this lineup is ......

Kobe tried to pass the ball to Devin George, and as soon as Devin George got the ball, Raheem immediately jumped from the three-second zone to the middle distance, and Devin George immediately returned the ball to Kobe......

Kobe Bryant was helpless, forced Liu Mang, burst into the middle distance, and before Boozer assisted, he hit a strong shot from the distance in Liu Mang's hand that was about to be inserted into his eyes.

Wipe! It's all in!

Liu Mang has defended well, but Kobe Bryant can just throw in.

The defensive strategy is fine, myself and my teammates

Liu Mang can only start from the offensive end! The strategy didn't work, and it was done by the toxic OK, since that's the case, let's fight!

The Eagles attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the front court, passed the ball to Jason Terry, and received the ball just after halftime, Jason Terry saw Brian Shaw defending him, and immediately understood Liu Mang's strategy and began to single Brian Shaw.

Jason Terry is too simple to play Brian Shaw, coming off the bench, Jason Terry comes up for a much simpler purpose, his idea is simple, shoot when you have the ball, and open up space when you don't have the ball, this is a qualified sixth man plus a three-point shooter.

Jason Terry used only one change of direction to shake the former U.S. team's main point guard, who is almost 38 years old, and rushed to the free throw line to make a pull-up jump shot to easily score two points.

Looking back, Kobe Bryant continued to play singles, if the boss was so accurate, would he still be called the boss, Kobe Bryant missed the turnaround jumper that was forced to squeeze away after sticking to Liu Mang this time, and Muhammad protected the rebound.

The Eagles fight back!

Liu Mang rushed to the front court to share the ball to Jason Terry, and Jason Terry chased a three-point shot!

came up and scored 5 points in a row, and Jason Terry chased the score to 16-19!

Three points away!

Coaches in general, especially those like Popovich, are absolutely called a timeout at this time.

But the Zen master is different, he doesn't call a timeout, and lets the players play by themselves.

Bryant received the free throw line and advanced to the frontcourt, saw that there was only a three-point difference, and began to calm down.

beckoned to block and dismantle, Wang Zhizhi, the only center in the Lakers lineup who can attract defense after blocking and dismantling, came out to block Kobe Bryant, Wang Zhizhi blocked Liu Mang, and switched to Kobe Bryant with Boozer.

Liu Mang had no choice but to let go of Wang Zhizhi and wrap Kobe Bryant with Boozer, Kobe scored the ball to Wang Zhizhi, and Wang Zhizhi made a three-point shot at the top of the arc......

Also in it!

22-16, the difference is back to more than 5 points!

Liu Mang saw that Kobe Bryant could play as long as he had a good center, and he really felt that it was enough! This kind of person shouldn't give him three points, just give him a Death Parker!

It's time for the Eagles to attack again, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and was just about to pass to Jason Terry, but found that the person who defended himself had changed, becoming Brian Shaw, Liu Mang's tiger body was shocked, and finally it was not the little blacksmith who defended him!

The blacksmith is worthy of being an ironworker, and he can defend the opponent more iron, and then defeat the opponent with rich experience in iron, the end is hateful, Liu Mang only scored two points in the first quarter, Liu Mang waved his hand to let Jason Terry go to the bottom corner, Jason Terry pulled Kobe Bryant away, and Liu Mang singled Brian Shaw!

Before the appearance of the Dream Team, Brian Shaw was the main point guard of the U.S. national team for three consecutive World Series in '86, '88 and '90, and his defense was quite powerful, but he couldn't defend it when he was old.

Liu Mang saw that Brian Shaw's small broken steps were really good, especially the good defense of outside three-pointers, so he chose the same way as Jason Terry and broke through from the left side!

The years are a pig-killing knife, Brian Shaw, who was a standard 3D forward guard during the Lakers' three-game championship period, couldn't keep up with Liu Mang's footsteps at all, and the left side breakthrough that Liu Mang was not good at threw Brian Shaw away, and the bottom left corner was defending Jason Terry's Kobe Bryant, and Liu Mang's goal was achieved! He deliberately chose to break through on the left side in order to attract Kobe's defense! Liu Mang immediately passed to Jason Terry, and Jason Terry received the ball and made a three-point shot...... Again!

Liu Mang high-fived the excited Jason Terry, exclaiming that this little man is really suitable for playing the sixth man, and he can score points when he comes up.

"Ding...... Discover the hidden trait of Jason Terry and strike backward at level 1. “

"Late Strike Level 1, Jason Terry is very eager to play on the bench, can play his own characteristics as he wants, when the number of substitute appearances reaches a certain number of times, the latter is activated, and the substitute comes on the hot hand, such as more than 60% of the substitute appearances in a season, it will trigger the trait: the king of the substitutes."

Wipe!

Liu Mang felt that he was delaying Jason Terry a little!

However, Jason Terry's original career did not turn to a pure bench until he reached the late stage of the Mavericks, and now why Jason Terry likes to play as a substitute so much is completely influenced by Liu Mang.

While Liu Mang was returning to defense, he was thinking, let Jason Terry play as a substitute next season, a quasi-All-Star level substitute, Liu Mang was excited to think about it.

Kobe Bryant advanced with the ball, continued to maintain his calm performance, and continued to block and dismantle with Wang Zhizhi, this time Liu Mang, Raheem, and Boozer all defended it, Kobe's passing ability was really not covered, and passed the ball to Devin George in the bag, Devin George rushed to the basket to avoid Muhammad's defensive layup shot.

The next game entered a scorching state, Kobe Bryant was very calm in O'Neal's absence, did not die alone, and actively cooperated with his teammates, Kobe Bryant, who may already be the best scoring guard in the league, was really powerful, and the Lakers' scoring efficiency was still very good.

And the Hawks seized the weakness of Brian Shaw to play, whether it was Liu Mang or Jason Terry, who Kobe Bryant defended, and the other singled, Liu Mang mainly passed, and Jason Terry mainly shot.

Kobe Bryant is still a little difficult to fight one against two, he is not the first person in the league in the future, and it is indeed a little difficult to deal with Liu Mang and Jason Terry alone, plus Boozer and Rahim, and the point difference is slowly being eaten away by the Eagles.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks chased the score to 28-29, only 1 point behind!

The Zen master watched Kobe Bryant's completely different style of play after O'Neal went off the court from the sidelines, and felt that it was a pity that if even one of these two disciples had a character that was not so strong, the Lakers could still dominate the NBA for several years, and they only needed to survive this year of aging the lineup, and next season they could rely on the two to attract some role players, and they could make a comeback.

The Zen master looked at the Chinese player who had 4 points and 6 assists in the first quarter of the other party, and wanted to exchange Kobe for him......
