778. Don't Shoot, Boss!
"Jose, it's so much fun that we became rivals." Before the game, Liu Mang greeted his substitute for next season.
The Olympics are too tight, with five group games and eight days to play.
"Haha, boss, I think so too, but this is the Olympics, unlike the NBA, the United States team will not be our opponent, boss, you are the same!" Calderón is finally back in the FIBA game.
"It's hard to say, for us, we're more like Puerto Rico, and you're the American team." Liu Mang did not show weakness.
"No, no, no, you're America...... Hahaha......" Calderón said out laughing.
Since yesterday afternoon, the United States lost to Puerto Rico, which has become the laughing stock of the strong teams, Calderón has mocked the United States with impunity, and is not afraid of being known by them, because Spain is not afraid of it at all.
"Ace, we're fighting again, and this time we won't let you continue to win." When it came to the World Series, Gasol showed a 'king attitude' and came with his little brother.
However, Liu Mang didn't seem to see Gasol, you are good in international competitions, you are amazing, Liu Mang's ability evaluation in the NBA has surpassed Gasol, but in the international arena, Gasol is directly the world's first, and his inner dominance is incredible.
Ignoring Gasol, Liu Mang's attention was on a fat man next to Gasol.
So fat!
Completely ignoring Gasol, Liu Mang greeted the fat man next to him: "Hey, Mark, your name is Mark, right, Paul and I mentioned you, as if to say how to fix your affairs when you were a child, your brother is really excessive, actually doing such a thing, if I am you, I will definitely not recognize this brother." ”
Gasol's eyes widened, he was ignored, and he sowed discord!
The point is that Gasol saw his second brother who nodded shyly and repeatedly, and remembered that he really teased his second brother when he was a child! I was really right by this bad friend's nonsense!
The point is that when little Gasol heard Liu Mang's last words, he actually nodded like pounding garlic, and Gasol blocked his throat with a mouthful of blood!
It seems that he was bullied by Gasol badly enough, Liu Mang deeply sympathized with little Gasol, so he said: "Otherwise, Mark, are you okay with me as my brother?" Paul, that guy is too much......"
"Ace!" Gasol was so angry that his voice thinned.
"Oh! Paul, you're there too! What a coincidence! Liu Mang seemed to have just seen Gasol.
“……”
Gasol ran to the side, pulled Calderon and began to chew the root of his tongue, while watching Liu Mang and little Gasol chatting, watching the shy second brother being fooled by Liu Mang and touching his head embarrassedly and smirking, Gasol chewed the root of his tongue behind his back and cursed Liu Mang......
Liu Mang's side was pouring chicken soup into little Gasol: "Mark, in my opinion, you are much more powerful than your brother, you are stronger and smarter, and your brother is bullying you because of his age......"
"Yes, Paul is so bad! Bullied me since I was a child! Marc Gasol nodded repeatedly......
"You must find a chance to get him!"
"That's right! Get him...... But I can't beat it! ”
"Huh? He's so soft that you can't beat him? ”
"He's my brother!"
"Then you will steal his right to shoot, don't pass the ball to him, don't help him defend......"
……
I had a cordial exchange with Gasol Jr., and I had a good relationship, and this relationship will not necessarily be used in the future, and at the same time fooled Gasol Jr. to stumble on Gasol, but for the latter purpose, Liu Mang felt that it didn't have much effect, the Spanish team's inner line was very strong, and Gasol Jr.'s role now is probably similar to Yi Jianlian.
Athens Pashinakos Gymnasium, also known as Athens Olympiacos Gymnasium, is the welfare of the Chinese women's volleyball team, yesterday, after the game between the United States men's basketball team and the Puerto Rico men's basketball team, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the first victory of the Olympic Games here, Liu Mang and others also hope to have a good start here.
Like Argentina and Greece, Spain has entered the golden age of basketball.
Calderon, a 23-year-old Hawks backup point guard, has an FIBA ability rating of 82; Juan Navarro, a 24-year-old second-round pick in the 2002 draft, is a FIBA ability rating of 70; Alex Montbru, a 25-year-old European super small forward, has an FIBA ability rating of 72; 24-year-old Yog Gabajosa, who has rejected many NBA contracts, has an FIBA ability rating of 76; Pau Gasol, a 24-year-old NBA top power forward, has an FIBA ability rating of 98.
There is also a group of substitutes with an ability rating of 70 or more......
It's really powerful, no worse than the American team, and it's still young! The golden age of basketball in Spain is also coming soon! When this group of people reaches the peak, in the international competition, unless the American team dispatches the strongest blacksmith group, the American team will have no chance to win!
However, isn't this still not at its peak, in Liu Mang's opinion, Spain, there is no one who can play on the outside!
It depends on whether the interior line can withstand the Spanish attack led by Gasol.
On the Chinese team's side, there was no surprise to Liu Mang, although the Chinese team has four coaches, but Younas is the head coach, although he is old-fashioned, but old-fashioned also has the benefits of old-fashioned, and will not make his own players unexpected, Liu Mang, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming starts.
Liu Mang threw a hot basket for a while, and the game was about to start, Liu Mang subconsciously looked at the bench, feeling a little empty in his heart...... I found the audience seat on the sidelines, but I still didn't see that person, but I saw the three little Loli sitting with Ye Li waving to him, and Liu Mang also waved his hand.
Alas...... Team USA back-to-back today......
Liu Mang could only come to the technical table by himself to touch the magnesium powder, and he didn't know what to think, after touching the magnesium powder, he grabbed a handful, sprinkled it towards the sky, turned his head and walked onto the court, and the silver-white magnesium powder drifted behind Liu Mang.
Liu Mang's self-perspective: Brother is a handsome person.
Other people's perspectives: This bastard is pretending to be a coer!
As a basketball powerhouse, basketball has attracted a lot of attention in Greece and Spain, and the NBA's influence in both countries is probably the highest among all countries in Europe.
The boos at the scene burst out! At this moment, Greek fans and Spanish fans booed Liu Mang together, but there were also some European fans cheering for Liu Mang, but Greek fans took the lead and Spanish fans followed, and the boos were indeed fierce enough.
Except for Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, the rest of the Chinese team finally understood why Liu Mang was so hated, FIBA games and the Olympics were actually sprinkled with magnesium powder! It's good if you don't get whistled for a technical foul, but a technical foul at the Olympics counts towards the total number of fouls.
Seeing Liu Mang twisting his body easily at the opposite free throw line, some of the Spanish team's popularity exploded, and they didn't pay attention to them at all!
But Calderon and Gasol immediately became vigilant.
Yao Ming and Gasol came to the center of the court to jump the ball.
As the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, Yao Ming, who was full of energy, won the jump ball and flicked the ball backwards.
Calderon immediately advanced to the outside of the three-point line, waiting for Liu Mang to come over, to prevent Liu Mang, he knew that he had to play steadily and steadily, and the more anxious he was, the easier it was to be used by this guy.
Gasol also yelled in Spanish and told his teammates to hurry back to the basket.
However, the captain of the Spanish team, Juan Navarro, just blocked Liu Mang who was advancing! In the middle line, I want to suppress Liu Mang with my body!
When he saw this scene, Li Nan had already run outside the three-point line, and immediately took a few steps back to answer, but he had nothing to do to look at the NBA, Zhu Fangyu, who was taken by Liu Mang to train with James, Wade, and Boozer a while ago, and the inside twin towers of the Chinese team, felt that the opportunity had come! Hurry up and open up the space......
Li Nan has the inherent impression that the point guards of the national team are rarely advancing normally under the support of European and American teams, while Gasol and Calderon feel that something is going to happen!
Liu Mang watched Navarro press up, a little inexplicable, and yelled "Brother Nan follow-up", and then Liu Mang immediately got up after Navarro pressed up or died, knocked Navarro away, and rushed to the three-point line!
Li Nan was taken aback by Liu Mang's rough play, and immediately reacted, and ran towards the left side of the three-point line with a good consciousness, Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line, and just stepped into the three-point line.
However, Liu Mang held the ball in his right hand, but grabbed the ball in his hand, grabbed the ball and rushed to the basket at a fast speed, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi immediately opened up the space, Gabaiosa followed Wang Zhizhi and pulled out, Gasol didn't care about Yao Ming, stuck to the three-second zone, and wanted to rely on the three-second zone to limit Liu Mang.
Yao Ming felt the Rutliff-style despair this time, and there was a big gap! That bastard doesn't pass on!
Liu Mang's three steps in the three-point line, the first step stepped to the free throw line, and the second step landed on the dotted arc in the free throw line, took off, and flew towards the basket!
Gasol didn't expect Liu Mang to really not pass it on! When you don't defend for three seconds, you see someone under the basket and you have to dunk hard!
Gasol could only jump up and block towards Liu Mang......
Gasol took a few steps back after landing on the ground, bent over to keep his balance and propped his hands on the ground, otherwise he almost fell to the ground!
Liu Mang used the potential energy of the sprint in the air to knock Gasol, who was jumping on the spot, into the air!
Smash the ball into the basket with both hands!
Gasol is okay, he just has to guard, Calderon, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Zhu Fangyu all feel that this is normal, and they are directly rushed to the basket by the other party, unless it is O'Neal, otherwise even if Duncan comes, he can only be the background.
But others are different!
Not to mention the Spanish team, most of the players of the Chinese team, how have they ever seen Chinese playing like this?
Let's not talk about the NBA, many players in China look like the NBA is the same as the recorded broadcast, watching TV and watching Liu Mang's performance feel amazing, they think Liu Mang has always been an NBA player, and they have never seen how Liu Mang played when he was not an NBA player.
Now with the naked eye, I saw Liu Mang a few meters away from Gasol in the opening game, and the teammates on the bench, the first reaction was not to cheer, but to be frightened!
Similarly, Li Nan on the field was also scared!
Not a world player at all!
He has been teammates with Liu Yudong, the god of war, and Hu Weidong, a talented Asian blacksmith known as the best talent in the history of China's outside line, but compared with Liu Mang, there is no way to compare with him!
This style of play is too exaggerated!
This is the NBA's MVP?
That's great!
Playing with such teammates? It's impossible not to win!
Seeing Liu Mang running back to the backcourt with a goldfish mouth bubble spitting expression, Li Nan and other Chinese team players on the sidelines, as well as Bajie's little brother, the short-handed Little Great Wall, and Big-by, who originally knew that Liu Mang was so strong, also had a skyrocketing morale!
"Ding...... The fancy dunk level 4 was triggered, and the morale of the Chinese team soared. ”
That's what Liu Mang wants! He thinks that with him, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi's core combination, and a few other pitchers, maybe the strength of Argentina and Greece, which are at their peak in the golden age, is indeed inferior to the other party, but compared with Spain, which is still in the growth period and will reach its peak in two years, his side is not much worse! Except for Gasol and Calderón, Spain is no better than Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming! There are three strong points on your side! There are only two of them! The difference in role players can be made up for by morale!
Yao Ming scolded MMP in his heart, while shouting to his teammates to return to defense.
Gasol silently picked up the ball and sent it to Calderon, and when Calderon advanced, he saw Liu Mang holding his jersey outside the three-point line on the opposite side, and he was really crazy.
These Europeans don't know much about how terrible an NBA MVP really is, and as Liu Mang's teammate, can Calderon not know? Even when he was training in the club, he was not qualified to be a training opponent for Liu Mang!
Seeing Liu Mang rarely pick up the jersey and guard the water dispenser, Calderon As long as the Eagles have a game, he will learn to play with Stockton and Liu Mang on the sidelines, Calderon has the impression that Liu Mang has three times to pick up the jersey, and every time, it is a rampage!
"Boss! Don't! Didn't you say that the good ones are all brothers? Calderón was originally full of fighting spirit and wanted to take advantage of the national team's strength to do a shot, but after the game started, I found that it was not like that!
The little boss can shoot well, can be hard and obscene play, NBA and FIBA, it seems that there is no difference!
After seeing Calderon advance to the frontcourt, Liu Mang immediately stepped up, pushed Calderon's waist with his hand, and gave a fierce confrontation with his body.
Seeing that Calderon, who beat the American team in the World Championships two years ago, was defended by Liu Mang and passed the ball before reaching the three-point line, the rest of the Chinese were more active! The joint defense position stood up, giving the high position Gasol pressure, and Liu Mang also returned to the joint defense position, ready to attack at any time.
That is, Gasol's technique is too good, and he turned around and threw the ball into the basket with a low hand two meters away from the basket.
But how much can you score with this kind of difficult ball?
With Yao Ming guarding the three-second zone, no one dared to enter, and the morale of others became more positive because of Liu Mang's first attack and defense!
The positivity of the Chinese team led to the Spanish team's defense having to be more active, after Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, this time Navarro learned to be obedient, not like in the last round, when he became the captain of the national team, he wanted to prove himself, but Liu Mang didn't care, seeing the breakthrough of the Spanish hand defense, Liu Mang singled Calderon outside the three-point line, and suddenly a large step back, no breakthrough and direct retreat, one meter away from the three-point line, pulled up and threw it!
Calderon pounced too late, he had the impression that Liu Mang was breaking through and then retreating, he was so nervous that he forgot that the FIBA three-point line was short!
"Huh"
Liu Mang scored 5 points in a row at the beginning!
