“Beat-LA…… Beat-LA…… Beat-LA……”

The Lakers players had just come out of the tunnel and the starters hadn't even come out, and the Beat-LA was already ringing in the Phillips arena.

For such a hot away atmosphere, the Lakers players were not frightened by the Hawks' devilish home court, but were full of pride.

The Celtics can be called the No. 1 NBA giant in addition to being interrupted by Chamberlain for 10 consecutive years in addition to being interrupted by Chamberlain, but the No. 1 NBA giant that fans really recognize is the Lakers, the Lakers who have created a dynasty three times, in terms of the continuity of being a giant, no team can compare with them, and Beat-LA has also become a legendary history of the NBA.

When Lakers players hear the word Beat-LA, they are full of a sense of honor for the team.

When Kobe Bryant came out first, the boos in the audience were the largest, and even Payton and O'Neal who came out later were not as good as the boos Kobe received, especially when O'Neal came out, some fans shouted "I want to hug my thigh......

Kobe Bryant's face is pale, and the word thigh is now a taboo for him!

O'Neal was a little smug at the away fans yelling to hug his thighs, and a smile was written on his face.

The main thing is that when Liu Mang was interviewed yesterday, what he said made O'Neill have a lot of good feelings for Liu Mang, and he agreed with Liu Mang's words.

When Wang Zhizhi made his debut, there were Chinese fans cheering at the scene......

Malone is sitting on the sidelines in a suit today, he is old, this season the average playing time is as high as 33 minutes, an average of 14 points, 9 boards and 4 assists per game, is still the best performance except for a few super power forwards, but the playing time is so high, there are many small injuries and illnesses, the end of the season, it's time to prepare for the playoffs, the Lakers don't care about the number of rankings, they won 67 wins in the first year when they won three consecutive championships, and the next two championships are a lot away from 60 wins.

Malone and Stockton had already gotten together yesterday, and at noon they came to Phillips Arena to have a reunion with Liu Mang, Boozer, and Stockton, so when it was time to play, he didn't risk making his teammates unhappy to greet the Hawks.

After the old Malone offended the little blacksmith by making a wave of things with the Lakers, he could be regarded as swallowing his anger for a while.

After the Lakers' appearance ceremony, it was the Hawks' turn to play.

I don't know when, Rasheed Wallace became the player with the highest cheers on the scene, Liu Mang was full of envy and jealousy, although judging from the local jersey sales, he alone had higher jersey sales than the rest of the Hawks combined, and the share of various peripheral products of the Rogue League was getting higher and higher, but he still had the highest cheers in the stadium for Rashid Wallace, and he was still full of envy and jealousy.

Feeling the envious eyes of the stingy ghost, Rashid Wallace pulled Ratliff very proudly, and the two ran for half a lap, and then ran to the free throw line, and the two crossed their arms, and the cheers of the scene boiled again.

There was no communication between the two teams, and there was a feeling of absolute opposition between the strongest teams in the East and West in the eighties and nineties, and even Wang Zhizhi, who replaced Malone in the starting position today, did not come over to say hello, compared to Kobe, he was more cautious, Kobe dared to risk being sprayed by Lakers fans after being found to go to Liu Mang's house for dinner, he did not dare to go.

After experiencing treason, he was careful about this.

However, the atmosphere of the two teams is not very tense, the Lakers are the strongest team since the new century, and it has not been long since the three consecutive championships, the confidence of the Hawks has been accumulated, and the two teams are very confident in themselves.

The strongest enemy is just around the corner, and it is only a team like the Lakers that has just won three consecutive championships and a team like the Hawks that is already about to play the strongest record in the new century have this kind of confidence.

On the Hawks' side, they are all talking and laughing while communicating for a while, and shooting hot hands.

On the Lakers' side, the Lakers are divided into two groups, O'Neal is always so happy to play happy basketball, but his strength allows him to play happy basketball and win three consecutive championships casually, O'Neal doesn't practice shooting at all, touches the back of his head with his left hand, touches his ass with his right hand, and starts his signature opening dance moves, teammates are laughing around O'Neal, and the other group is Kobe, who looked at the fat man with contempt many times and practiced his own shooting.

The final pre-match preparations are over, the game is about to begin, and the two teams start on the big screen.

The Lakers fielded a starting lineup of Payton, Kobe, Devin George, Wang Zhizhi, and O'Neal.

Liu Mang looked at the Lakers' starting list and asked the system about the strength of these people.

"Gary Payton, averaging 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists per game, 75 ability ratings, 60 three-pointers, 77 mid-range shooting, 82...... layups"

"Kobe Bryant, averaging 24.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, 95 ability rating, 81 three-pointers, 92 shots, 9......5 layups"

Devin George, 72 Ability, 77 Three-Point Range, 71 Shot, 79 ...... Layup"

"Wang Zhizhi, averaging 10.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, ability evaluation 75 (peak), 84 three-pointers, 75 mid-range shots, and 80...... layups"

"Shaq O'Neal, 19.8 points, 12 rebounds, 2.6 assists, ability rating 98......"

The sooner the little blacksmith gets to the playoffs, the more powerful he is, what about the playoffs soft-footed shrimp...... By the way, Liu Mang remembered that it seemed that this guy had a nickname called the king of the Western Duel, and he had never lost the Western Duel, either he knelt in the second round, or he would go to the final stage......

But it's probably at its peak, take a look, Wang Zhizhi is 27 years old, and the years are really a pig-killing knife, but Wang Zhizhi has been in the Lakers for two years, and he has become a lot stronger, and he really still has the opportunity to pursue honor and has playing time to be more motivated, but the 6.9 board, Liu Mang is uncomfortable, just like his average of 32.9 points per game.

The Hawks started all back, and the game with the Celtics the day before yesterday deliberately let Ratlleaf, who had a rest, continue to rest one more time, just for today's game, Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Rashid Wallace, and Ratliff's strongest lineup is back!

The referee signaled the substitutes of the two teams to go down, the staff removed the warm-up ball, Liu Mang and Boozer hugged and then came to the middle circle, put the left index finger in front of their mouths, made a silent movement, and turned 360 degrees on the spot.

Seeing Liu Mang's actions, the fans at the scene knew that it was coming, and the scene suddenly changed from extremely noisy to extremely quiet.

The scene went dark, Rashid Wallace's face appeared on the big screen, the game, of course, in person, Rashid Wallace roared, the live performance did not sound as loud as the recorded sound with the sound of the repair, slightly hoarse and plastic, but it made the fans feel more excited!

"Ding...... The Celestial Roar is triggered, and the Devils' home field is opened, from Rashid Wallace and Phillips Arena fans. ”

This is the first time the Lakers have come to the Hawks' home court to play this season, and they have heard that the fans at the Hawks' home court are crazy and restless, but they don't care, and then the restlessness can have the restlessness of Salt Lake City back then?

The fans who love to do things the most are never black fans, but white fans are more fond of doing things, whether it is Europe or the United States, it has always been like this, because white people are richer and more fearless, and the NBA's famous devil devil's home stadium is Salt Lake City, Portland, Boston, these three places are cities with a very high proportion of whites.

Similar to European football hooligan fans, the most troublesome of basketball fans are also whites.

The Lakers players didn't think anything was going to be there when they saw the roar of the legendary Rasheed Wallace, they were booed everywhere, but when the scene fell into a frenzy, the Lakers players were startled by the sudden burst of cheers from the extreme silence!

The little blacksmith who can circle the earth with a reflex arc is nothing, maybe he didn't react at all, maybe he was suddenly woken up when he went back to the hotel to sleep at night, O'Neill made an exaggerated expression of surprise, he may be mostly acting here, Peyton is okay, Devin George and Wang Zhizhi are all trembling with fright!

No worse than the madness of the Salt Lake City fans!

Liu Mang was very satisfied with the cheers of the fans at the scene, and gave the other party a dismount before the game started, good job! In this case, Brother Tianzun snatched the highest cheers from the home field, so he didn't care.

Just then, the system prompt came.

"Ding...... Trait: Cold-blooded level 5 trigger, ignores away pressure, from Kobe Bryant. ”

"Ding...... Team buff: OK trend is triggered, and the team of the OK combination has increased its ability to resist pressure away from home, offsetting some of the away pressure, from Kobe Bryant & Shaq O'Neal. ”

Depend on!

Liu Mang forgot that the brain circuit of this blacksmith is different from that of ordinary people, so he can't be scared!

However, there is a little effect, the team that can win three consecutive championships has long been accustomed to winning away from home when the core combination has not changed, and the culture of the strong team is different, Liu Mang can only work hard to cultivate the winning culture of his own team!

……

Rashid Wallace and O'Neal came to the center circle to jump the ball.

Liu Mang waited at the free throw line, didn't have much hope, don't look at O'Neal fat, the bullet speed is inhuman!

Sure enough, Rashid Wallace, a young jumper, lost to O'Neal, who flicked the ball to the back.

Watching Payton advance through the half court and hand it over to Kobe, Liu Mang really wanted to despise Payton for being afraid of an iron-striker, can't he pass it to this guy? This guy is a cancer! You won't let go of the ball!

On the Lakers' side, it's now the end of the regular season, the Lakers have a stable record, second in the West, and the rest of the schedule except for the Hawks and the curtain call against the Kings, the rest of the games are very easy, and O'Neal is also going to start preparing for the playoffs.

Seeing Kobe advancing over, Liu Mang took the initiative to defend himself.

"Come on, guy who can't get MVP, you can't get MVP, you will never get it." Liu Mang sprayed at Kobe.

Today Liu Mang took the initiative to apply to be in the opposite position with Kobe, although the coaching staff are a little confused, but Liu Mang and Prince are both single-defense players, in addition to the defensive intensity Liu Mang is not as good as Prince, Prince is the main who can be selected into the best defensive team by pure single defense in NO-handcheck, in addition to the difference in intensity, Liu Mang and Prince have similar defensive functions, and it is no problem to change the defense, the coaching staff feels that Liu Mang must have a 'conspiracy', and someone is dealing with Kobe Bryant, and the coaching staff is naturally happy.

Kobe Bryant came to the three-point line and saw Liu Mang coming up, he was still so arrogant, and he felt like the Hawks coaching staff, he felt a conspiracy! This guy is not the kind of person who will touch a stone with an egg, Kobe recognized Liu Mang's momentum and strength on the defensive end, on the whole, Liu Mang's defense is definitely the best among the first-class single defense players, although he is not as good as Prince is a super single defense master, which makes Kobe feel difficult to deal with, but it also makes Kobe agree that Liu Mang's defense is almost equal to Maddie, the edge of the best defensive lineup in Kobe's view.

There must be a conspiracy!

Kobe Bryant didn't believe that after Liu Mang had Prince, he would really come back to fight with him.

Ignoring Liu Mang's provocation, he protected the ball and thought for two seconds, Kobe Bryant was just about to act, and just took a step ahead of the ball, Liu Mang immediately pressed Kobe Bryant, wanting to sneak attack and steal.

Kobe's reflexes are truly amazing! The little hand grabbed the ball, turned around to avoid Liu Mang's action of pounced, jumped directly, stepped on the three-point line and threw it out!

Almost the three-point distance of the front basket, Kobe Bryant's strong shot that has no difficulty to create difficulty also bounces into the basket on the rebound!

It's all in!

Liu Mang saw Kobe Bryant's mouth curled and obviously proudly twisted his upper body with a clumsy dance posture, and his lower body was not moving, and the proper uncoordinated dance steps of his limbs were celebrating this shot, and he immediately sprayed: "Lucky to shoot again?" If you shoot this kind of ball, you will be such a selfish person. ”

After speaking, Liu Mang ran back to the basket and waited for the serve.

Kobe Bryant was just about to retreat, and he was almost beaten by Liu Mang!

When Liu Mang pushed over, Kobe Bryant stuck to Liu Mang outside the three-point line, and also sprayed: "Who is more selfish than you?" A selfish guy like you will never win the championship. ”

Liu Mang held his left arm to open up a little space with Kobe, protected the ball and advanced it outside the three-point line, and said while advancing: "I have more assists than you!" Selfish ghosts. ”

The two lone men began to hurt each other.

Kobe Bryant heard Liu Mang's words, but began to be afraid of Liu Mang's pass, this guy can't guess according to common sense, the more he sees Liu Mang's posture of scoring, the more Kobe Bryant is worried about Liu Mang's blocking and demolition, Ma Long is not there, and they are blocking and dismantling thieves.

Suddenly, Liu Mang made a move to break through to the front right, Kobe Bryant subconsciously moved to the left rear, and he was ready to go around the errand.

But Kobe Bryant turned his head and immediately found out that he had been deceived, and turned his head to make up for it, but Liu Mang had already jumped on the spot and made a three-point shot!

"Huh"

Liu Mang also started the game very well, and he scored a three-pointer when he came up.

Kobe Bryant is confident that he can prevent Liu Mang, of course, in fact, he can also greatly limit Liu Mang's regular state, after all, he was selected for the best team selected by the media after getting the defensive shot by the coach first, and he is a star who starts from the defensive end.

So Kobe didn't think Liu Mang would be hard from the beginning, although the Hawks had a rebounding advantage over his Lakers, but it didn't have the crushing gap with other teams, that is, the Lakers' crushing rebounding advantage over most teams except the Hawks......

For example, Kobe Bryant, when O'Neal and Malone are both absent, usually chooses to break through and score, and there are big men who will focus on medium and long-distance wave shots.

Kobe Bryant's ball was shot by Liu Mang very unexpectedly, Liu Mang just made a probing move Kobe Bryant stepped back, Liu Mang was equivalent to dribbling the ball and shooting on the spot, which was similar to training.

After the goal, Liu Mang immediately retreated, at this time Liu Mang did not stimulate Kobe, he just stimulated Kobe Bryant because he wanted Kobe to pass the ball, one-on-one Kobe passed, and it was one-on-one that Kobe did not let Kobe score.

Liu Mang returned to his own three-point line, saw Payton advance to the frontcourt, handed it to Kobe, and faced Kobe Bryant, who was transported, Liu Mang began to talk again: "You can't score on me except for good luck, and my teammates are going to wrap you, you still call it a block, O'Neal is so strong that he will help you solve everything and let you score easily." ”

Liu Mang said so now, but before the game began, he had told his teammates that no matter what he said when he and Kobe Bryant were in the opposite position, they couldn't hinder him and Kobe Bryant's one-on-one, teammates were very puzzled, they trusted Liu Mang and knew that Liu Mang couldn't prevent it, but Liu Mang's magic in the past three years made his teammates believe that he had a way.

The requirement of the task is that if Kobe Bryant is pinched and Kobe does not let Kobe score, then in the next round, even if Liu Mang scores Kobe Bryant alone, it will not be counted in the score contest with Kobe, and it will offset one round, so Liu Mang can only come by himself.

Liu Mang wanted Kobe to play blocking and dismantling, although he might not be able to prevent it, but Kobe Bryant passed it to O'Neal and passed it to O'Neal, and Kobe himself couldn't score points, so O'Neal handed it over to his teammates.

"This guy, you want to go head-to-head? Is it a conspiracy? Bryant looked at the defense of the Hawks players and really didn't find anyone preparing to pinch the shot, which was a little surprising and a little wrong.

It doesn't matter what goes wrong, this is an opportunity!

In Kobe's view, as long as Prince doesn't come to the package, even if Raheem comes to the package, it is an opportunity, and it is better to block the defense inside, and it will be easier for O'Neal and Wang Zhizhi to grab rebounds by pulling out an inside line.

Kobe's biggest advantage is decisiveness!

Quite resolute, immediately began to burst Liu Mang, to the middle distance of the pull-up jump shot!

"Damn!" Liu Mang didn't expect Kobe to be so resolute, and was forced by Kobe to hit a mid-range pull-up jump shot.

"Ding...... Stubborn level 5 trigger, the next offense must be a shot, from Kobe Bryant. ”

This guy, isn't it a good player to say that there are too many good shots?

He deserves to retire and become a He Dou Dagger!

4 to 3, Kobe Bryant led Liu Mang by 1 point.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court after receiving the serve, and he wanted to hit back!

Kobe Bryant defended Liu Mang's three-point defense more strictly this time, but because he was afraid of Liu Mang's foul, Kobe Bryant did not dare to elbow and pull and push Liu Mang's waist and abdomen when he was defending, and he could not make small moves unscrupulously in this season with a large defensive scale like defending others.

Liu Mang saw Kobe's defensive flaws, and took half a step back in small steps, and at the moment before Kobe Bryant continued to press up, he changed direction sharply to the right, and Iverson-style passing! Break through from the right!

Kobe Bryant didn't lose his mind or stand still after being passed, and immediately turned around and chased after Liu Mang.

Liu Mang's speed is very fast, but Kobe Bryant didn't give up, because the fat man on the inside line is his most solid back!

After Liu Mang passed Kobe, he looked at his teammates on both sides, but they didn't get a chance, Rasheed Wallace in the bottom right corner and Prince in the bottom left corner didn't have a chance, Raheem and Devin George fought hand-to-hand, and no one came to wrap him.

However, as soon as Liu Mang entered the free throw line, he turned his head to look at the basket and saw that it was indeed a big fat man!

O'Neill used his agility, which was extremely inconsistent with his body, to come out and block Liu Mang!

The broad body blocked Liu Mang's sight! Moreover, there is a fat man in front and a blacksmith in the back, and Liu Mang fell into the pinch of the OK combination!

I can't pass the ball! When his teammates came to pick him up, he couldn't pass it!

There was no way, Liu Mang forcibly bumped into O'Neill and threw the ball out as much as he could.

"Knock ......"

Liu Mang crashed into a lump of fat, the referee didn't blow the whistle, O'Neal's defensive awareness is not covered, and the record of the second largest number of blocks in a single game in history is not given casually, as long as he is serious, O'Neal's defense in the three-second zone is definitely one top one!

The ball thrown by Liu Mang had no goal, and flew directly from the right side of the rebound, and he didn't even catch the empty Ratliff under the basket!

This ball is a mistake!

Maybe it's because he has won Kobe Bryant more times before, or maybe he is too impressed by Kobe's future history Iron King, in short, Liu Mang despises Kobe too much this time! It's not the kind of contempt that looks down on Kobe, but the contempt relative to Kobe's strength, he attaches great importance to Kobe's strength, but it doesn't reach the level of the most attention, he subconsciously thinks that Kobe is now relying on O'Neal, but ignoring the Lakers at this stage, the regular season depends on Kobe!

Liu Mang thinks that his trash talk, defense, and defensive strategy can limit Kobe.

Then, Liu Mang encountered Pierce's feelings!

Unlike Liu Mang, who wants to win this game and wants to complete this task and that task, the Lakers' style of play is very clear.

Kobe chiseled at the beginning, Kobe was tired of O'Neal and had offensive motivation, O'Neal chiseled, of course, even O'Neal, now hopes that Kobe can score more and soar, for him now, standing on defense is much easier than hitting people to score.

On the defensive end, the Lakers' defensive strategy is that Bryant single-handedly defends Liu Mang's outside shots, tries his best to prevent breakthroughs, and OK pinch shots if he can't prevent them.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang wanted to play Kobe Bryant one-on-one, but he fell into the Lakers' defensive strategy!

After Liu Mang was pinched again, he had defense, and then there were more breakthrough feints, and there was a mid-range shot that O'Neal, who was one step outside the free throw line after passing Kobe, couldn't defend it, but it was not completely free from Kobe's defense, and the scoring efficiency was very low.

In the first quarter, when the official timeout was reached, Liu Mang scored 8 points on only 3 of 9 shots! Two two-pointers and one three-pointer, and one hit one of two free throws that O'Neal slapped on the ground.

The Eagles also only scored 12 points, except for the few attacks when Liu Mang handed the ball to Rahim, Rahim made one by himself, and cooperated with Ratliff to one, and the Eagles had no other scores!

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant played very well today, playing a playoff mode, scoring three in a row at the beginning, and then triggering Kobe Bryant's time level 4 at the beginning, scoring 15 points in a row in more than half a quarter! And he opened his heart and made two empty passes to O'Neal, scoring 19 points in 7 minutes!

Liu Mang forcibly tried to defend Kobe Bryant, but he didn't succeed, but Kobe Bryant took advantage of this to play an almost perfect opening performance!

7 shots and 6 hits, a player like Kobe Bryant, either he will be killed, if he is raised, even if God comes to defend, he can only be beaten!

And Liu Mang, let such a monster out!

……

The official paused, Liu Mang returned to the bench, and before he could say anything, Coach Kruger pointed directly at Liu Mang and said: "You sit, John, Jason, Sherif, Carlos, Kwamei, you go up, John, you and Carlos are responsible for organizing the offense, Sherif try to defend Kobe Bryant, force them to pass inside singles, Kwame, and leave the inside defense to you......"

Liu Mang didn't have time to react, so he was pressed on the bench!

Coach Kruger understands that Liu Mang is inflated!

thought that he was going to win the MVP, he would be invincible, and he wanted to go head-to-head with Kobe, so he had the current result.

Coach Kruger understands Liu Mang's thoughts, after all, young man.

But at this time, you can't get used to it, and you should condone it when you should condone it, because those things that should be connived at are not things that can affect Liu Mang's future development, and most of them are not Liu Mang's willfulness with a hot head, most of the time Liu Mang is the one who makes a profit after being willful.

And this time, Liu Mang wants to go one-on-one with Kobe, obviously no matter what, Liu Mang and the team are not profitable, the first seven minutes Coach Kruger was waiting for Liu Mang to have any plan, but found that there was no plan at all.

Liu Mang looked like he wanted to score against Kobe, but he was killed by the Lakers' pinch defense.

Coach Kruger knows that using words may not have much impact on Liu Mang, so he simply described it practically, first using 'cold violence' to press Liu Mang, who was supposed to play for a long time, on the bench, and then using Stockton to teach Liu Mang the correct way to play with the Lakers.

Moreover, Coach Kruger also instructed others not to talk to Liu Mang, so that Liu Mang could calm down.

……

After the pause, the Lakers side, O'Neal, who came up to defend for a few minutes, went down to rest, Wang Zhizhi and Medvidenko partnered inside, Wang Zhizhi averaged 10.3 points and 6.9 boards per game this season, the Lakers' No. 3 inside, compressed a lot of Medvidenko's playing time, of course, Wang Zhizhi, who has stronger projection ability and better blocking ability, has played in a high-confrontation game with a strong team like the Lakers for two years, and his strength is indeed much stronger than the strength of Medvidenko's 67 ability evaluation.

On the outside, the Lakers fielded the Lakers' best perimeter defensive combination of Fisher, Kobe, and Karim Rush.

With the combination of Stockton and Boozer, with Jason Terry as a pitcher and Raheem as an assaulter, and Kwame Brown under the basket, the Hawks' offensive play suddenly became a different team.

Malone is not there, the Lakers don't have a good way to deal with the Hawks' blocking offense, Stockton interprets what it means to be steady, with teammates, steady and steady, and teammates are strong enough, the Lakers' second team can't be prevented, and Stockton plays more steadily.

Although Kobe Bryant on the Lakers' side began to take advantage of the outburst and Raheem couldn't prevent it, Kobe Bryant had been "fattened" by Liu Mang, and the Hawks were forced to start pinching Kobe.

Kobe Bryant used the defensive containment force to make the ball to his teammates, Wang Zhizhi's three-point and air cut began to play a role, the Lakers' scoring efficiency did not decrease much, but the Hawks' scoring efficiency improved, as long as they played steadily, the Lakers couldn't prevent the Hawks.

Although the Lakers' defense is good, there is still a gap compared with the Spurs, especially this is still the regular season, and the Spurs, Timberwolves, Pistons, Pacers and other teams have a gap.

After the first quarter, Stockton took the rotation lineup and withstood the pressure of the period when Kobe Bryant began to organize the offense after opening, and the score was 26-31, during which the Hawks chased a two-point difference!

……

During the intermission, Liu Mang stared at Coach Kruger with fiery eyes, he knew what Coach Kruger meant, but when he was just pressed on the bench at the beginning, he was still very dissatisfied, he felt that he just wanted to complete the task, and he didn't expect Kobe to soar so much, Liu Mang was not beaten by Kobe in the first two years, but at that time, he felt that his strength was not strong and he couldn't defend and attack, and now he is strong, and it must be no problem.

Only now do you find out that you think the other party is a super god, but the super god you think is just a super god you understand, and the strength of the other party is obviously beyond the strength you can understand at that time!

Maddy's team is rotten, Iverson just came back and began to change his style of play, Carter has talent but has never really fully realized his talent into strength, the last time he played against Kobe, Kobe was in rush mode, Liu Mang thought it was an outbreak.

When Liu Mang is stronger now, he began to truly understand the horror of superstars!

The focused Kobe Bryant, even if he doesn't have a rush mode, is still not something Liu Mang can compete with!

Of course, Liu Mang was dissatisfied at first, but seeing his teammates working so hard to wipe their butts, biting the score that was 7 points behind at the beginning, and narrowing the two-point difference, Liu Mang began to calm down.

Seeing his teammates fighting so hard, he really couldn't waste any more ways to score with Kobe Bryant, and he really had to work hard one-on-one, which was indeed just Kobe.

And even if it's for the mission, it's more important to win the game! If you lose the game, the mission will also fail!

Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang's fiery eyes, and he didn't have the kind of careful thinking that his eyes rolled straight away, and became more pure, although he was less careful, but sometimes, this kind of pure heart was better.

Coach Kruger is not afraid of the strength of the Lakers, and is confident that hard steel can win, this is the confidence accumulated in the past three years with Liu Mang to lead the team to the present, especially the confidence that has been played this season!

Seeing Liu Mang's purer eyes, Coach Kruger knew that this kid wanted to open, and he also relaxed, not that if he lost this game, it would really be serious, but that Liu Mang couldn't be allowed to have that kind of inflated mentality, and it was best to strangle it in the cradle from the beginning.

Coach Kruger showed a rare mocking expression and asked Liu Mang, "Want to go?" ”

Liu Mang nodded immediately.

"Then go on!" Coach Krueger gestured to the field.

"Uh......" Liu Mang was a little stunned, "What is the tactical arrangement?" ”

"Get out!" Coach Kruger suddenly turned back to ferocity, kicked at Liu Mang, and sprayed while kicking: "Have you fought according to tactics?" ”

Liu Mang reacted very quickly, from taking off his training clothes to getting into the field in one go, he didn't drag the mud and water at all, and he also dodged Coach Kruger's kick, and even the team staff who came to pick up the training clothes were stunned.

Seeing Liu Mang, who sat lifeless on the sidelines for half a quarter and no one cared for him, finally became active again and returned to the court, seeing the familiar "interaction" between Coach Krueger and Liu Mang, the Hawks fans who were pressed by the Lakers to play a whole quarter and trailed by 5 points in a single quarter have also been depressed for a long time, the home court advantage has a certain effect on the Lakers, but Kobe's performance completely neutralized this effect, and even hit the morale of the Hawks and the atmosphere of the home court.

The devil's home field can only make the strong stronger, if you can't kill the opponent, those cheers will become a catalyst for the opponent's morale, and will make the opponent feel that you are afraid of them before booing them.

The Eagles fans, who had been suppressed for half an hour, saw that Liu Mang seemed to have recovered, and the cheers rose again!

That's how it feels!

After Liu Mang threw aside the points with Kobe Bryant, even if he fell behind, he felt more comfortable physically and mentally!

……

Coming back from the break, on the Hawks' side, Stockton continued to play, and the lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Ostertag came on.

Liu Mang played, and the Eagles naturally had to put defense into the team's strategy.

Liu Mang, Prince, Ostertag, the best weapon to limit the OK combination!

On the Lakers' side, Fisher, Kobe, Rush, Brian Russell, and O'Neal played.

Brian Russell is also a player with average three-point ability, and the big forward who has been around O'Neal over the years, in addition to Ma Long, may be the best is Wang Zhizhi, who played the first quarter of the whole quarter, and it is time for Wang Zhizhi to go down and rest.

The second quarter began, and the Eagles attacked.

Liu Mang advanced after receiving the serve.

Kobe Bryant watched Liu Mang push in, and saw that Liu Mang's eyes had obviously changed, not the kind of eyes that were about to do it, and it became more "game-like".

This kind of pure look made Kobe Bryant pay attention to it immediately, and Liu Mang was even more difficult to deal with.

Kobe Bryant thought that Liu Mang wanted to fight with him because of public opinion, and then Liu Mang was indeed too young and played by himself.

And Liu Mang was able to recover his original mentality so quickly, which made Kobe still a little appreciative...... What a fart!

After Kobe Bryant saw Liu Mang advancing over, he immediately threw the ball to Stockton, then grimaced at him and ran into the inside.

This bastard!

Kobe Bryant immediately chased after Liu Mang, scolding while chasing: Why did this bastard run so fast!

Liu Mang ran to the basket, Ostertag not only had the body, but also had many years of experience in cooperating with Shuangsha and Hornacek, blocking Kobe Bryant like an iron wall, and it was blocked!

Liu Mang came out of the basket with Ostertag's block, and O'Neal had to chase Liu Mang.

At the same time, after Boozer helped Stockton on the outside, he came in to help Liu Mang block O'Neal, O'Neal was good enough to block and dismantle or prevent off-ball blocking, Liu Mang easily came to the left 45-degree angle by continuous blocking, and just stepped out of the three-point line, Stockton's pass came!

The moment Liu Mang received the ball, he turned around and threw a three-point shot!

The speed was so fast that Kobe, who had already studied the Eagles' blocking and dismantling coordination and knew Liu Mang's most common foothold, pounced after bypassing Ostertag at the fastest speed, and he couldn't interfere!

The level 3 trigger of the fast shooting master, Liu Mang's turn, three-point sniping, and the entire action speed of the sniper increased by 15%! It was this fifteen percent, which happened to completely avoid Kobe's active defense!

Coupled with Stockton's passing, Liu Mang has the most perfect feeling of receiving the ball, the feeling of shooting is perfect, the marksman is triggered at level 5, and Liu Mang's three-point hollow hit!

After scoring the goal, Liu Mang clapped his hands, came to the signature action of singing Zhou Jie's stick, lowered his head and glanced up, and said to Kobe: "Ouch, it's a good defense." ”

After saying that, Liu Mang immediately turned around and returned to defense, the Lakers began to play fast offense less since last season, but it doesn't mean that they don't play, Liu Mang immediately retreated.

29-31, two points away!

Liu Mang is completely in the state!

The Lakers attacked, Fisher advanced and handed it to Kobe, Kobe Bryant held the ball and came to the same side as O'Neal, and the Lakers also Kobe, who was able to completely pull out the defender when he was on the same side as O'Neal, if someone else held the ball, the opponent would rather let the Lakers' pitchers shoot in addition to Kobe Bryant most of the time, rather than let O'Neal receive the ball.

Kobe Bryant is ready to cooperate well with O'Neal, he has scored so many points, and he has to pass the ball, and he said in an interview yesterday that Langtou is not a good player, even if he wants to swallow this sentence back, he can't just say it and slap himself in the face, at least he has to make people forget about it and break his promise.

It just so happens that the Eagles' defensive strategy is also to block the outside line and defend the basket alone!

Kobe Bryant hoisted the ball to O'Neal, who looked at his old rival behind him, the big white bear who had been beating him in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and hit it with all his might.

The two pieces of fat bumped together, and there was a "pop" sound!

O'Neal struggled to open up a little space and threw a small throw into the basket!

The loss is that he didn't attack much in the first quarter and rested for a long time, Kobe Bryant was the whole team of the hard steel Hawks in the first quarter, so that O'Neal only needed to defend in the three-second zone and not let Liu Mang enter, otherwise O'Neal really couldn't squeeze Ostertag now.

Although he couldn't defend against O'Neill, Ostertag's performance made the fans applaud when he came up!

It's amazing!

Since the beginning of the new century, after O'Neal reached the top of the NBA for the first time, no player has been able to carry O'Neal like this, and he can force O'Neal to such a difficult twisting body and small throw! Ostertag was the first!

A few years ago, Ostertag played poorly for four consecutive years because he wanted to give his sister a kidney, and he began to lose fat to the extent that he could be operated on from 99, plus the recovery after midway surgery, as well as the impact of returning to the NBA to readjust and gain weight quickly after losing a kidney, he played poorly for four consecutive years, and fans have not seen anyone who can withstand O'Neal for many years.

Although he is 32 years old and averages less than 20 points per game for the first time in his career as a Big Four, it is O'Neal! This season, O'Neal is still the league's No. 1 center, and he still has no solution, but when he is physically sufficient, he is actually limited by Ostertag a little.

That's enough for the Eagles, as long as it can consume O'Neal's physical energy, O'Neal's biggest problem now is physical fitness!

Switching offense and defense, the Eagles did not play fast, in order to consume O'Neal, the Eagles continued to fall into position, running tactics, just like dealing with Duncan!

Actually, for the Hawks, O'Neal and Duncan ...... It makes no difference......

The Eagles continued to fall ground, and Liu Mang pushed in to continue to hand the ball to Stockton.

The Lakers' defense immediately began to drift towards Liu Mang, who was off the ball.

Liu Mang's off-ball running began to be used as a defensive point by Stockton, and the rest of the Eagles began to open up!

O'Neal vs Eagles, the game is scorching.

But the Hawks played easy tactics, and the Lakers' triangular offensive position did play star singles, O'Neal became more and more tired in the face of Ostertag, and even wanted to take the initiative to play cooperatively, but the Hawks blocked other people on the outside, so they gave O'Neal a chance to catch the ball one-on-one, and O'Neal had to keep singles!

However, O'Neal is really strong, and Kobe Bryant is also good at impacting offensive rebounds at this stage, and he also grabbed two rebounds that O'Neal was missed by Ostertag.

The power of the OK combination is really strong!

Liu Mang has now become a target to attract defense, and the defensive end is only to help the opponent who wants to cut in the air except for O'Neal, but playing his own role, Liu Mang is happier to play.

Regardless of his task, now, Liu Mang feels that he enjoys this feeling of wholeheartedly, from technique and tactics to strength to psychological warfare, and wholeheartedly confronting the other party for victory!

The scores of the two teams are in a continuous scorching phase!

This score has been anxious until the second half of the fourth quarter, O'Neal really opened up today, throwing his arms and Kobe Bryant together, even if the Hawks were prepared, they couldn't prevent it.

O'Neal became more and more excited the more he played, and he only attacked, mainly because this feeling made the OK combination particularly familiar, and Ma Long on the sidelines was even more hot-eyed.

However, on the other hand, O'Neal's defensive enthusiasm has basically disappeared since the second quarter, and after Liu Mang came out of the basket without the ball, there was always an easy gap, forcing the Lakers to block Liu Mang from the beginning of the air cut or change the defense in advance when Liu Mang came out of the bottom line, otherwise Liu Mang's mid-to-long-range shooting and catching shooting rate was very high, from the beginning of the 33% shooting rate, to the fourth quarter, Liu Mang's shooting rate of playing without the ball has returned to more than 40%.

Moreover, Liu Mang played like this, and the score was easier, after scoring 8 points in the first quarter, he scored 10 points in the second quarter under the organization of Stockton.

In the third quarter, Liu Mang himself used as an offensive point to hold the ball, and the Hawks changed back to the starting lineup, Liu Mang only scored two points in the third quarter when he passed 6 assists in a single quarter, but he still got 20 points after the third quarter, 20 points, 3 boards and 9 assists in the third quarter, almost 20+10 in the third quarter!

……

After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Liu Mang was completely guarded to death, Stockton played a long time today, returned in the fourth quarter, and squeezed Jason Terry to the bench, Jason Terry's nerve knife, when he was very accurate, when the point guard gave him he couldn't shoot.

Stockton began to organize the attack when Liu Mang was infinitely trapped.

Playing the Lakers, Stockton is still full of vitality! With the defense attracted by Liu Mang, Stockton and Boozer led the team to play team offense together.

and the hard steel of the Lakers, the Hawks' side also consumes a lot, and no one can prevent anyone, but the Hawks want to defend against the Lakers, and it is precisely because of the Hawks' defensive pressure that they have been biting the score, and the OK combination is indeed too strong! In this game, the two worked together a little bit and immediately showed the ability of the strongest duo.

However, the overall strength of the Hawks is still superior, mainly because Liu Mang is fully committed to the tactical strategy against the Lakers that he discussed with Mike Woodson and Coach Kruger as early as the beginning of the season.

In the case of falling behind by seven points at the beginning, the Lakers led by the Hawks and the OK combination have been anxious for a whole game, and the Lakers have maintained a slight lead, and finally, when there are two minutes left, there has been no scoring opportunity in the final quarter, Liu Mang, who shot 0 in 5, took advantage of Kobe Bryant's blockade around Boozer to make a three-point shot, and the Hawks fell behind by one point from 106-107 and overtook by two points!

Immediately after O'Neal gave the ball to Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi, who had a very average offensive performance under the Hawks' outside pressure defense today, made a three-point shot.

At this time, Liu Mang's physical fitness has become the key to affecting the game!

Boozer and Ratlivka are in the position of the main basket, Raheem grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately threw it to the frontcourt, after Liu Mang received the ball, he stopped outside the three-point line and shook it, Kobe Bryant, who was chasing after him like a mad dog, pounced, not to blame him for being so fierce, but he didn't pounce so fiercely, and he didn't even have a chance to force Liu Mang to sway!

After Liu Mang flew Kobe, at the critical moment, the solo attribute exploded, and the rhythm was not very good, but he didn't wait for his teammates to follow up, and threw the three-point shot directly!

Luck, but also strength, Liu Mang's chasing three points through the basket!

Hit two three-pointers in a row!

Liu Mang hit two three-pointers in a row at a critical moment!

112-107, the Hawks overtook and led by 5 points at a critical moment!

At this time, the Lakers did not call a timeout, and the Zen master motioned for Kobe Bryant to come by himself.

"Ding...... Black Mamba's Devouring is triggered at level 4, and the comprehensive ability evaluation is +4 at critical moments, from Kobe Bryant. ”

"Ding...... Trait: Cold-blooded level 5 trigger from Kobe Bryant. ”

Kobe Bryant is Kobe, he advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Mang and Raheem immediately sandwiched the past, and would rather the Lakers score two points than block three points.

However, Bryant forced the two to take a step outside the three-point line, and pulled up a dry three-point shot.

Liu Mang and Rahim relied on strength to block, and the other relied on speed and hand speed to press, in this case, Kobe actually threw the ball out!

It's a legendary guy with 26,200 ways to shoot!

The most important thing is that the ball that looks hard this time is really in! The long-range three-pointer from the front basket bounces off the rebound and into the basket!

However, Liu Mang also played high, and immediately ran to the frontcourt, Boozer reacted very quickly, picked up the ball and threw it to Stockton, and Stockton threw the ball directly to the front court without stopping.

Kobe didn't expect Liu Mang to get down so quickly, and immediately chased after Liu Mang, but the tacit understanding between Stockton and Liu Mang is too good, and the tacit understanding between master and apprentice is invincible!

Liu Mang rushed to the bottom corner of the right side and threw Kobe Bryant away completely!

It's just that Stockton's tacit understanding is to want Liu Mang to run to the bottom corner to take Kobe Bryant away, Raheem followed up in the middle, and Liu Mang received the ball, turned around and threw it directly!

"It's all voted?" Stockton was once again refreshed by Liu Mang, and Rahim, who was following closely, had just crossed the halfway line!

But ...... crisp sound of "swish" entering the net, Stockton felt that the assist tasted so good......

Liu Mang, who also has cold-blooded characteristics, may not be as strong as Kobe's ability evaluation of Duncan's 99 at the critical moment, which is comparable to Duncan's ability evaluation of the ability to score the ball when the talent skill triggers the moment of defense against two people.

But empty seats! Liu Mang is so strong!

"It's all in!" Stockton's three views were immediately refreshed again!

The difference is still 5 points, and the Hawks lead the Lakers by 5 points 115-110!

37 seconds left!

There's still a chance!

The Hawks didn't dare to be careless, Liu Mang continued to flank Kobe Bryant with Rahim, and it was still a two-point defense tactic.

At the critical moment, Kobe Bryant not only triggered his natural skills and cold-blooded triggers, but also triggered Kobe time! The ability to resist shooting interference has been greatly improved.

At the critical moment, Kobe Bryant scored two three-pointers in a row!

couldn't prevent it at all, Liu Mang and Rahim did their best, but they just couldn't prevent it, and the score difference was narrowed to two points by Kobe!

Kobe Bryant hurried back this time, and the Lakers also hurried back.

The Eagles didn't call a timeout either!

The Lakers didn't call a timeout because Kobe Bryant was in good shape, and the Hawks didn't call a timeout for the same reason, and Liu Mang also felt good, scoring three three-pointers in a row!

Liu Mang, who didn't score a point in the first ten minutes, scored 9 points in a row at the last moment, and it was impossible for Coach Kruger to interrupt Liu Mang's current feeling.

Liu Mang dribbled to the front court, Kobe Bryant waited for Liu Mang to come over with his autumn coat in his mouth, and without pausing to drink a drink, he sucked his sweat to replenish sodium and water.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he stopped outside the three-point line, Kobe Bryant was ready to block Liu Mang's three points at any time, but he also had to guard against Liu Mang's breakthrough at any time, the Hawks could put two points to prevent three points, and the Lakers couldn't fall behind.

Tu Ranran, Liu Mang grabbed the ball, threw the ball with his right hand to the left 45-degree angle and ran towards his Stockton, while Liu Mang's body was also tilted towards the right front.

When Kobe Bryant saw Liu Mang's move, he immediately prepared to block Liu Mang's air cut and prevent Liu Mang, which is the biggest focus of the Lakers' game!

And then......

Kobe Bryant was cheated again! The main thing is that he is inexperienced, he never thought that the action of throwing the ball out would actually be a feint!

Liu Mang grabbed the ball with his hand and took it back, pulled up three points and shot again!

Liu Mang, whose hand has been fully ignited, hit his fourth three-point shot in a row!

There are 18 seconds left!

It's still a five-point difference!

At this time, the Zen master had to call a timeout!

It's just that he called a timeout and came back, but Kobe's hand was interrupted, and he missed the three-point shot that directly received the ball, Boozer protected the defensive rebound, and the Lakers could only make tactical fouls.

Kobe Bryant's three-point score didn't score, and the game is a foregone conclusion!

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Lakers 120-113!

After the victory over the Lakers, the whole court was plunged into a sea of joy.

This game was too tough!

Liu Mang's body may not be very tired after the whistle at the end of the final game, but the feeling of playing three quarters of the game with passion made him feel as if he had collapsed and fell to the floor!

Win!

Finally won!

For Liu Mang, scoring four three-pointers in a row in the end is like redemption.

Lying on the floor, seeing the back of Kobe Bryant walking back to the player's tunnel without saying a word, Liu Mang felt a little proud: "Sample, it's useless to take forty or fifty points, winning is the king...... Wait, forty or fifty points? ”

Liu Mang sat up in shock, the little blacksmith seemed to have scored 35 points after the third quarter, even if he only scored those two three-pointers in the last quarter, it would be 41 points! And Kobe Bryant obviously scored more than 6 points in the fourth quarter!

Liu Mang immediately looked at the big screen, just announcing the player data.

Player of the Match, Ace Liu, 35 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists.

The player with the highest score in the game, Kobe Bryant, had 51 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Liu Mang opened the system panel with a trembling voice, and the first prompt was......

Mission Failed!
