749. The younger brother's debt, the eldest comes to pay it (ask for subscription!) )
Seeing Ostertag and O'Neill standing together, Ostertag's size was no worse than O'Neill's, or even a little bigger, and the fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim!
Usually when Ostertag occasionally has the opportunity to play, although fans also think that he is huge, much bigger than an ordinary center, but they didn't expect that compared with O'Neal, Ostertag is even bigger!
O'Neal is O'Neal, worthy of being the big guy of the OK combination with Kobe, it's so different, seeing Ostertag coming behind him, he swallowed his saliva directly exaggeratedly, and then leaned towards Ostertag and continued to ask for the ball!
After Kobe Bryant hoisted the ball to O'Neal, the Hawks still didn't have a tendency to wrap up, Liu Mang went to defend Devin George, and Stockton followed Fisher to the bottom corner, still defending O'Neal alone.
Unlike Ratliffe's use of physical contact to inflict O'Neal when he defended O'Neal, Ostertag waited for O'Neal to receive the ball.
O'Neill's unprecedented concentration, after receiving the ball, he immediately hit Ostertag hard, Ostertag knew what his role in this team was, relying on a weight of nearly 140 kilograms, and went straight to the top without fear!
"Oh......"
The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim when they saw these two centers, who were probably the biggest centers in the league, collide together! The main thing is that O'Neill didn't actually crash into Ostertag!
However, the flexible dead fat man is too difficult to deal with, O'Neill is the ultimate flexible dead fat man, he has long expected that he can't hit it, but his mobility and flexibility are not comparable to Ostertag, and the two went all out at the same time to bump together, but O'Neal restarted faster, turned left against Ostertag, took a step towards the left side of the two with his right foot, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and threw a small shot from the bottom to the top......
Hit!
It's in again!
4 out of 4 in the opening game!
Looking at O'Neal, who broke 100 again in the playoffs, Liu Mang had long expected that even with Ostertag, he couldn't prevent O'Neal, and after O'Neal met the Zen master, the biggest change in the offensive end was that he had a small hook.
But that's enough, how long can O'Neill's style of play last now?
Liu Mang returned to the inside line to receive Stockton's serve, advanced to the front court, Kobe Bryant defended again, Liu Mang immediately passed to Stockton, and then ran with the little blacksmith.
After Stockton and Boozer blocked, Fisher quickly switched defenses with Malone, and Malone defended in front of Stockton.
Stockton vs Malone!
There were many fans who came to watch the game from Salt Lake City, of course, mainly cheering for Stockton, and they all began to heckle when they saw Stockton facing Malone head-on.
Malone was excited, although he had never imagined this scene before this season, he never thought that when both of them were still playing in the league, there would be a situation where one person won the championship and the other person would inevitably hate and face each other head-to-head!
However, the two had already said when they had a heart-to-heart talk at the bar a few days ago that they would go all out and couldn't be sorry for their professionalism!
Malone nervously stepped on small steps, preparing to prevent Stockton's breakthrough.
Stockton is most underrated, may not be his scoring, but his breakthrough ability, everyone thinks that he can just block and dismantle, scoring and assists are all based on blocking and dismantling, few people notice his breakthrough, but his breakthrough is often the killer move of the Jazz team! In the 1998 Western Conference Finals, the second game between the Lakers and the Jazz, Stockton was prevented with only 6 assists, but he scored 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting by breaking through to help the Jazz narrowly defeat the Lakers 99-95 and lay the foundation for the series!
Looking at Stockton's habitual footsteps before the breakthrough, Malone was too familiar to dare to relax a little, and the attention of others was also on the two of them, and suddenly, Stockton threw the ball to the basket!
What does it do?
Rao is Ma Long, who has been partnered with Stockton for 18 years, and has never seen Stockton play like this, pushing and throwing three points with both hands?
Apparently not!
The ball flew to the left side of the basket, and Liu Mang's figure then arrived, holding the ball in the air, and the ball fell into the basket lightly along the strength of this support!
Fisher saw Liu Mang landing, so he could only grit his teeth and pick up the ball.
Just when people's attention was on the double-evil duel, O'Neal under the basket focused on the two, after Liu Mang came out of the bottom line, he blocked Kobe Bryant by Boozer who went down after blocking and dismantling, and ran back to the basket, Fisher did not keep up with the change of defense, and could only watch Liu Mang run back and win two points.
It's time for the Lakers to attack again, Kobe Bryant receives the ball, and seeing the Hawks expand so widely, he is already very sure that the Hawks are playing with them!
Drain O'Neill's stamina!
Although I wish O'Neal's poor performance and he can turn the tide, Kobe Bryant is not stupid, if it is the original Pistons team that everyone is not optimistic about, he will inevitably be careless, but the deal is 70 wins over the Hawks.
Kobe Bryant felt that the current situation was very inappropriate, but O'Neal asked for the ball inside, and Kobe Bryant had to pass the ball in.
Liu Mang saw that Kobe Bryant passed the ball to O'Neal again, and was about to let go of Devin George to pinch Kobe, but immediately retracted his footsteps.
Sure enough, this little blacksmith, in the face of a strong enemy, chose to stabilize the relationship with O'Neill.
Tough guys! Liu Mang stabilized his mentality and slowly consumed with the Lakers.
Finally, with Ostertag able to withstand O'Neal and with a wide frame that could squeeze O'Neal's space under the basket, O'Neal's small throw was iron!
Boozer grabbed his template Malone, went to the basket, and grabbed the defensive rebound!
After Ostertag came up, he put enough pressure on O'Neill!
Boozer passed the ball to Liu Mang, after Liu Mang received the ball, he turned to the side, held the ball behind him with one hand, and avoided being stealed by Kobe, Kobe pressed and defended Liu Mang all over the court, Liu Mang stood like that, watched his teammates run forward, and ran to the front court with the other four players of the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant watched Liu Mang stand still, his head spinning rapidly, what is this guy going to do?
Just when Kobe Bryant was still guessing, Liu Mang suddenly threw the ball out......
Such a distance?
Kobe didn't expect Liu Mang to stand at one end of the court near the bottom line and pass the ball to the other end!
What I didn't expect was that it was actually passed in place!
The ball was delivered to the free-throw line area at the other end of the court, and Stockton just came to that position, received the ball falling from the air, and instead of holding the ball, he threw it back into the air in the direction of the basket! Boozer followed up with an empty layup and scored two points!
In the cheers of the scene, Liu Mang spread his hands towards Kobe and said: "You don't stick to me, I'm a point guard, I can pass the ball, and it's very powerful." ”
Kobe Bryant really didn't expect Liu Mang to stand in that place and throw it directly to the front court, he knew that Liu Mang passed the ball accurately, and when the Hawks counterattacked, the most accurate pass was not Stockton, but Liu Mang, but the Eagles' lineup had no ability to counterattack, and Kobe was misled by the impression of the double-brake tactics in his head!
Kobe Bryant was eliminated by the Jazz in the playoffs for two consecutive years, 4-1 a year, and swept in a year, and he will study ways to deal with the Jazz every year in the playoffs, but he has never met the Jazz in the playoffs again, and the opportunity for revenge has not been until the original history, when he encountered a new version of the double evil, he had the strength to completely suppress Delon and Boozer.
The current lineup of the Hawks is very similar to that of the Jazz back then, Malone exploded in physical fitness when he was young, but when he reached the Finals, he was already 34 years old, and the speed of the current Boozer is about the same, and Stockton is 35 years old when he reaches the Finals, the current Stockton Gaboozer and the Stockton and Malone of the year, the pace of the offensive end is almost the same, Kobe Bryant wants to block Liu Mang, the Hawks can't get up quickly, and the Lakers didn't expect that the slow Stockton and Boozer would actually play like this, I didn't expect to have this hand.
10 to 10, Liu Mang thanked the Universe team......
This goal Liu Mang thought of from the counterattack when the Universe team had Bogut and used Bogut as the endpoint, and the result was not bad.
It's this difference in perception, the Universe team is really good at hitting twelve or thirteen three-pointers per game, but their average score per game is more than 110 points, although three-point is their biggest threat, but their real killer move is defensive counterattack!
Of course, with the current pace of the game, there are not many opportunities like this, and this goal is a flash of inspiration.
Fisher pushed the ball over and continued to hand it to Kobe, Kobe didn't pass the ball this time, and gestured to O'Neal, O'Neal didn't continue to get the ball, but waited on the side of the three-second zone, it was really difficult to play Ostertag, and he chose to be a threat point on the inside.
On 4-of-5 shooting, O'Neal got off to a strong start, and his fitness began to decline.
Bryant chose to singles Prince.
Seeing Kobe Bryant start playing singles, this is beyond Liu Mang's expectations, this O'Neal, how can you say that if you don't fight, you won't play?
As everyone knows, O'Neill is used to it, someone has already made a gesture not to pass the ball, what else can he do?
It was really unexpected, Liu Mang immediately rushed towards Kobe, Kobe Bryant singled Prince on the outside and could prevent it, but broke through, Kobe Bryant rushed to the inside like a bison, Prince could keep up, but he couldn't bear it!
Just as Liu Mang was rushing to Kobe, he suddenly had a huge force in his chest, and he was almost knocked to the ground!
Carl Marlon's Elbow!
Ma Long judged Liu Mang's defense, and rushed up to block Liu Mang as soon as possible, the speed was not so fast, and the elbow was used to extend the lateral area of the body.
Not to mention whether there is a moving block, the judgment of this ball is too good, Malone is the same as Boozer, the blocking and dismantling is not only with the ball, but also the blocking and dismantling of others.
Bryant hit the basket, dodged Prince's chasing hat, and pulled the lever to score two points with a low-handed layup.
Ostertag didn't dare to make up for Kobe, his lateral movement ability was not good, and he basically had no other role on the defensive end except for carrying O'Neal.
Liu Mang looked at Ma Long, who turned back to defend without expression, and was almost out of breath when his chest was hit! I can't scold anyone if I want to.
"Ding...... Minor strain of the host's chest muscle......"
"Treatment."
Liu Mang didn't even listen to the system's prompts, and immediately chose treatment, consuming 1 primary injury potion and 500 superstar values, and cured this small injury that might have no problem except for soreness when he slept well.
Although the injury is healed, it is not even a small injury that hurts, but it is still there, seeing Ma Long's back, Liu Mang seems to be scolding, this bastard, he really didn't spare his hand at all!
The point is that the referee doesn't blow it either!
Stockton picked up the ball, handed it to Liu Mang, and said, "Be careful, Karl won't show mercy." ”
Nodding his head to advance, Liu Mang didn't expect that Malone might be the key point that affected the game, because Kobe didn't pass the ball to him, and Boozer also shrank in just now, but he couldn't keep up with Kobe's footsteps, but Kobe didn't pass to Ma Long, and Malone continued to block Kobe Bryant.
Liu Mang pushed forward, while watching Ma Long's expressionless huddle with Boozer, using his strong body to press Boozer, putting aside the idea of using a discord card for Malone and Kobe, and even throwing aside any pairings related to Ma Long, for the sake of the championship, even the team that has been in the team for 18 years is willing to leave, no matter how wronged it is, it is estimated that they can endure it.
Now Ma Long can endure the humiliation, Liu Mang can't help it!
was elbowed, naturally I have to back!
Kobe Bryant saw Liu Mang coming, he was ready to run with Liu Mang, and after two meetings this season, he decided that Liu Mang's offensive means to deal with his defense was without the ball, and he was very confident in his defense.
Liu Mang seized this opportunity, took a step outside the three-point line, and suddenly pulled up and shot directly!
The pain in his chest stimulated Liu Mang's nerves, and his mind was unusually clear because of the pain, Kobe Bryant immediately reacted and pounced, but the distance was a little farther, and he could only scare Liu Mang, and he couldn't cover it at all!
The king of dry pulls is triggered at level 5, the impact on the shooting rhythm is ignored, the characteristics are cold-blooded, and he ignores Kobe's action of pounced, and Liu Mang faces Kobe's action of blocking and hitting a three-point shot.
13-12, the Hawks overtook by one point!
"Bah, the one who hugs the thighs has two thighs." Liu Mang patted his chest, which was still a little painful, and turned back to defend.
The meaning is too obvious, it is saying that Malone's moving block just now has become the thigh of Kobe Bryant's scoring.
Obviously, Kobe Bryant understood it at once, after the angry Kobe Bryant came over, he continued to play singles, Prince defended Kobe Bryant very the outside, and did not give Kobe any outside chance, Kobe Bryant could only choose to break through, and when Prince reached the bottom line, he suddenly stopped, Prince was ready to block Kobe Bryant's layup, he didn't defend it last time, this time he was confident, but Kobe Bryant stopped, he could only stop, at this time Kobe turned his body sideways, turned his back basket with his face, and pushed up towards Prince.
Prince lowered his center of gravity to block Kobe's low-post single, but Bryant suddenly retracted his action and rolled over for a jumper......
Kobe Bryant's reflexive jumper from the baseline hit a hollow shot.
Kobe Bryant returned one!
It's time for the Hawks to attack again, after Liu Mang passed half time, Kobe Bryant immediately pasted up, Liu Mang passed the ball directly to Stockton, and then swept Kobe Bryant with Kobe's action of pressing up, rushed inside, and took the opportunity to shake off Kobe Bryant, Kobe was also very fast, 92 speed, but was thrown away by a step, a little speed gap is also a gap, was thrown away by Liu Mang, Liu Mang came out from the bottom line, Ostertag and Boozer successively gave Liu Mang no ball block, Liu Mang ran to the bottom left corner when Stockton blocked the pass just came, Liu Mang received the ball and made a three-point shot......
Return!
It's 10 minutes! Liu Mang made 4 of 5 shots and scored 10 points!
16 to 14!
Two points ahead! Liu Mang began to feel a little chance to slowly open the score.
That's when the system prompt came!
"Ding...... Kobe Bryant time level 4 triggered, and for the rest of the quarter, Kobe Bryant felt hot. ”
"Ding...... Stubborn level 5 triggers, Kobe Bryant must make the next shot every time he hits a shot, and Kobe Bryant must make the next shot every time he misses a shot. ”
Finally, Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row, and finally succeeded in stimulating Kobe's iron-beating heart!
When the Lakers attacked, seeing Kobe Bryant receiving the ball and continuing to single Prince, Liu Mang immediately put aside Devin George, chased after Kobe, and moved in a spiral position to avoid Ma Long's iron elbow, and came to the top arc to hit Kobe, but Kobe is Kobe, and he reacted very quickly, and before Liu Mang pounced, he directly chose to face Prince's defense and lean back to shoot three-point......
The key is to return it!
17-16, Kobe Bryant didn't give Liu Mang a chance to open the score!
Finally, Liu Mang also began to hit the iron, and was interfered with by Kobe, who chased more tightly after scoring three points, and missed the three-point shot.
But Kobe Bryant hit another mid-range shot, and the score was pulled up to 3 points by the Lakers!
19 to 16!
The Eagles called a timeout here and went straight to the official timeout.
……
The tempo is too slow, and it looks like the score of the two teams is quite high, but it has been playing positional battles, and the tempo is very slow, but the two teams shoot efficiently.
And such a position benefits the Lakers' side.
Liu Mang played okay, but everyone else was defended to death, Liu Mang can score relatively easily, relying on his speed, just like when the 76ers played the Lakers, Iverson is fast alone, and the score is relatively easy, but others can't, even if it is Boozer and Stockton's blocking, because of Ma Long, neither of them has any good scoring opportunities, they can only rely on Liu Mang, and it is difficult to guarantee offensive rebounds.
Originally, the current lineup was changed to compete with O'Neal's singles, but I didn't expect O'Neal to say that if he didn't play, he wouldn't play, which was called a decisive one, and Kobe Bryant began to play, so that the Hawks made a mistake in prediction.
Prince can defend the outside line on a premise that he only needs to be responsible for the outside defense, and there is an inside line behind him to defend the basket, otherwise if an outside lineman, especially an outside shot with a large number of shots, the shooting rate exceeds 40%, and the defense can be considered a failure.
Prince, who was obviously scored 11 points by Kobe Bryant in 5 of 7 in the opening game, had no way to prevent Kobe Bryant without the help of the inside, both anti-shooting and anti-penetration.
That is to say, the lineup just now, although Liu Mang scored 10 points to compete with Kobe's score, but it gave O'Neal a break in the middle of the game for nothing!
Coach Kruger can only use the same tactics that he used against the Lakers in the regular season.
……
After the timeout, the Hawks once again rotated on a large scale, except for Liu Mang, everyone else was replaced, Barnes, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown came on the court.
The Lakers, on their side, only replaced Fisher and Devin George with Payton and Rick Fox, and except for Payton, who has performed much less than expected this year, the other three giants will definitely play the first quarter in the case of a scorching score.
The Zen master immediately began to get nervous when he saw the lineup of the Eagles, this lineup has been seen in the regular season!
Sure enough, after the game restarted, when it came time for the Lakers to attack, the Hawks began to defend the joint defense!
Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown began to take turns draining O'Neal's physical, taking turns to go up to the single defense, and the outside line used high-speed rotation defense to block the Lakers' outside players' offense.
Mainly, block Kobe's offense!
Kobe Bryant also had to pass to O'Neal, Malone he didn't want to pass it or not, the future movie superstar Fox side, this year's playoffs played an average of less than ten minutes per game, and the three-point shooting rate plummeted from 37 percent in the playoffs during the three-game championship period, not far from retirement, the three-point shooting rate is only a dozen percent, not to mention Payton's three-point shooting, when Fox had a three-point power, Payton once shot 6.7 percent in the series, and the key was that he also averaged 2.5 shots per game in that series......
Zen master changed to this lineup, I thought that the Hawks were going to continue to play blocking and demolition, but only a slight personnel adjustment, but I didn't expect to start defending the joint defense, and this time it was the Lakers' turn to be taken by surprise.
No one can open up space, so the Hawks' joint defense only needs to do three things, wear O'Neal, block the air cut, and Kobe Bryant will let go of Payton and Devin George with the ball.
O'Neal was walking on the court just now, but he regained some physical strength, and when he came up, he chiseled Kwame Brown twice, and also scored a double-double in a single quarter.
On the Hawks' side, the offensive end is starting to run!
Regardless of whether O'Neal scored or not, the Hawks immediately forced the speed, and Kwame Brown, who was hit by O'Neal and was about to fall apart, immediately picked up the ball and sent it to the nearest teammate, and the teammate passed Liu Mang or Rahim, who could pass the ball without dribbling and attack quickly.
Coach Krueger made a very correct choice this time, changing the pace of the team from extremely slow to extremely fast, and Liu Mang is obviously the biggest beneficiary!
As long as he saw Rahim, Barnes, and Kwame Brown, the three fastest teammates appear on either side of him, Liu Mang threw three points after half court after receiving the ball, and let his teammates follow up on the impact rebound.
When O'Neal can score, how can he delay the Hawks' counterattack and reduce the Hawks' success rate, but when O'Neal doesn't score, the Hawks' four defensive players who are very good at offensive rebounding will immediately counterattack after grabbing the rebound.
After O'Neal's side was slowly drained by Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown, the Lakers' success rate began to decline, and the Hawks' counterattack success rate began to increase!
At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks successfully overtook the Lakers again 34-31 and ended the first quarter with a 3-point lead.
……
At the end of the break, the Hawks moved Rashid Wallace to the center position, sent Mohammed out to play power forward, replaced Rahim with Prince on the outside, Barnes moved to the power forward position, and Liu Mang continued to play.
On the Lakers' side, Fisher was replaced, Payton, whether it was offensive or anti-counterattack, did not play a role in front of Liu Mang, he couldn't open up the space and couldn't keep up with the pace of counterattack, it was not as good as Fisher, Wang Zhizhi replaced Ma Long, Devin George replaced Rick Fox, the reason is the same, replace players who can open up space, O'Neal and Kobe continue to play.
The second quarter begins with the Hawks possessing the ball.
After Liu Mang advanced to the front court, he played a block with Muhammad, and suddenly went to the basket, and Wang Zhizhi defended in front of Liu Mang.
Seeing the two Chinese players face each other on the stage of the finals for the first time, the commentators on the domestic side were overturned, and the Chinese fans who watched the game on the spot also began to cheer.
But Liu Mang didn't give Wang Zhizhi face, a crotch, slapped the ball from Wang Zhizhi's crotch, and swept past Wang Zhizhi like lightning, Kobe Bryant hurried to chase Liu Mang, Muhammad on the other side was left alone, Muhammad cut into the basket and scored two points, this ball O'Neal couldn't prevent, his first reaction just now was to help Wang Zhizhi make up for Liu Mang, when Muhammad cut into the inside, the basket was empty.
When it came to the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant felt that he had been replaced with such teammates, and he should be given a chance to go head-to-head, triangle offense, in the OK combination, that is, Kobe and O'Neal took turns to attract one-on-one singles and divide the ball.
But what Kobe didn't expect was that as soon as he received the ball this time, Liu Mang and Prince immediately struck him.
Kobe Bryant passed to the vacated Fisher, however, Fisher didn't make the first shot!
It's not a big deal that you can't shoot in the empty position, but it was used by the Hawks to make a fuss, and Kobe Bryant immediately became more resolute, when Fisher and Devin George, who had no right to shoot in the first quarter, and Wang Zhizhi, who had just been replaced, was exposed, and the outside feel was generally exposed, the Hawks' joint defense against the Lakers became more resolute!
When O'Neal first came up after the break, he had no problem playing Rasheed Wallace one-on-one, but after a few hits, he couldn't play and his shooting percentage began to decline, forcing Bryant to only hit singles in the pinch.
At this time, a huge problem of the Lakers was exposed, and their bench was poor!
The highest salary of the Lakers is O'Neal, 24 million, Kobe, 13 million, Payton 4.9 million, Medvedenko 4.5 million, Rick Fox 4.6 million, Devin George 4.5 million, Fisher 3 million, and the highest salary of the others is 1.5 million from Malone, and there are no players with a salary of more than one million.
Of course, there is an OK combination, normally speaking, no one else needs to do much, just shoot the empty shot, anyway, the Lakers, who have won three consecutive championships, also rely on the OK combination, and others can shoot goals.
However, now O'Neal is 32 years old, a game is fierce, he can maintain efficient time, only about 30 minutes, encountering the Hawks' defense, before the half is over, his shooting rate has dropped from 80 percent of the opening 5 shots 4 to 80 percent, playing and playing, it has slipped to 7 of 12 at the end of the first quarter, and then to 9 of 16 at the end of the second quarter, although there is still a shooting rate that looks good, but compared with the terrifying efficiency at the beginning, the key is that it is difficult for role players to shoot in large gaps, Offensive efficiency is declining.
On the Hawks' side, they have long been accustomed to the relatively inefficient playing style of a certain player, and it doesn't matter if the shooting rate declines, they play honestly, while on the Lakers' side, O'Neal's efficiency has declined, he can't shoot from the outside, and the core is played by consumption and the other is pinched, and the more he plays, the more anxious he becomes.
……
In the middle of the second quarter, the Hawks' side gradually began to take a clear lead, leading by 7 points at 46-39, and it was not unacceptable for the Lakers to score 8 points in 6 minutes, but the Hawks scored 12 points in 6 minutes! It's not high, but it's a lot taller than the Lakers! The Hawks, who have long been accustomed to this type of play that is not very efficient, are not in a big hurry, while the Lakers are getting bigger and more anxious.
It's time for the Lakers to attack again, Liu Mang saw Kobe coming over, and immediately went up to fight Kobe with Prince, the Lakers have changed people on the outside several times, except for Ma Long, who played the first quarter, almost all of them have been changed, and it's useless, Liu Mang and Prince are getting more and more decisive about Kobe.
Kobe Bryant was caught between Liu Mang and Prince as soon as he received the ball, he was anxious, annoyed and angry, and swung his elbow towards Liu Mang, who was going to stick to him to defend, Liu Mang didn't expect the little blacksmith's elbow to fly towards his face, block it with his hand, and simply fell to the ground.
Your uncle! If you don't hit someone, you don't know if you don't!
Liu Mang got up and rushed towards Kobe, Prince hugged Liu Mang very calmly, blocking the middle between Liu Mang and Kobe.
The referee looked at Liu Mang, who was about to rush towards Kobe Bryant, and immediately gave Kobe an offensive foul and added a technical foul.
This ball is really not what Liu Mang wants to play, and the little blacksmith who is becoming more and more skilled in iron elbows, obviously has no expression on his face, and suddenly gives an elbow, who can react? Since you can't dodge, you can just fall down.
Fortunately, he blocked it with his arm just now, and when he saw that his arm was red, it was estimated that he was beaten blue, Liu Mang secretly screamed Fortunately, he reacted quickly, if he was hit in the face, how could his handsome face be saved?
Liu Mang got a technical foul and walked to the free throw line, and there was an offensive opportunity for a while, so he immediately put away the posture of fighting and walked to the front court to prepare for the free throw.
Originally, Kobe Bryant felt a little inappropriate for his malicious elbow, but when he saw Liu Mang walking onto the free throw line like changing his face, he instantly felt that the elbow just now was too light!
Liu Mang made a technical foul and hit a free throw, 37-39, and the Hawks led by 8 points!
In the next goal, Liu Mang saw that there was still a difference of two points and a difference of ten points, and he thought that this goal must be scored to establish a clearer lead.
Coach Kruger, on his side, also had the same idea as Liu Mang, taking advantage of the dead ball, to replace Liu Mang with the lineup of Stockton, Boozer, Raheem, and Kwame Brown.
This lineup is a bit poor defensively, but the offense is superb.
The Lakers, on their part, also took advantage of this to replace Payton and Malone, and the lineup of Kobe, Devin Brown, and O'Neal continued to stay on the court.
The Hawks played the ball on the sideline, and after Stockton pushed over, he beckoned to continue to block Boozer.
Obviously, the action of blocking and dismantling, the Lakers' defensive attention is all on Liu Mang, Stockton, Boozer, Liu Mang took Kobe Bryant around the basket and went around the basket from under the basket, Devin Brown, who was originally defending Raheem, chased Liu Mang, and after Kobe was blocked by Boozer, he and Payton clamped Liu Mang together.
An off-ball player, chased by three people, Liu Mang is the most face-saving of the off-ball players.
But Stockton's obvious move to block and dismantle is to use the cooperation of the blocking and dismantling trio to attract the defense, Stockton himself attracted Malone away, Boozer was blocked by Kobe, Liu Mang was blocked by Devin George and Payton on the left midrange, and there was no way to catch the ball for the time being, Kwame Brown didn't mention it, standing next to O'Neal like a child.
However, Raheem is empty!
Just when Liu Mang was blocked by Peyton and Devin George, the ball had already flown to their group and flew into Rahim's hands!
Raheem wasn't surprised, it was Stockton's pass, and he immediately rushed inside after receiving the ball.
The ball flew over the heads of Payton, Kobe, and Devin George, and Kobe and Payton knew that it was best to block the person they were blocking at this time, and not let the defense that had been torn apart become more broken, but Devin George didn't have that consciousness and immediately made up for Raheem.
Raheem received the ball and rushed into the basket, saw that Devin George and O'Neal were both defended, knew that he had no chance, and wanted to pass to Kwame Brown, but O'Neal's size was too large, blocking Rahim's sight, O'Neal's deterrence under the basket is really strong, Raheem just chose to step on the left side of the three-second zone to shoot, and because he was worried that Devin George pounced back on the defense, he didn't dare to shoot, and was about to throw the top arc to Stockton, when he suddenly saw a figure, Rahim immediately threw the ball into the air.
O'Neill looked at this unremarkable throw, secretly screamed that it was not good, and turned his head to see that a big No. 1 had been pasted on his face!
The scene was full of exclamations, but I didn't expect Liu Mang to detain O'Neill!
After Liu Mang landed, he quickly turned around and ran, and after Devon George went to chase Rahim, Liu Mang was liberated! was not pinched, Liu Mang accelerated around the free throw line to get rid of Payton's defense, and inserted it into the basket from the middle, Raheem was bold in passing the ball this time, Liu Mang originally thought that he was passing the ball to him and throwing the ball or a layup or something, but he didn't expect Rahim to come to the air catch, Liu Mang was excited at the time, and he couldn't care so much, and he came to a face dunk through O'Neal! And it's also an empty face buckle!
Liu Mang turned around and ran while yelling at O'Neal: "Shaq, your little brother hit me with a black elbow just now, you are his boss, this dunk is even if you help your little brother pay off his debts!" ”
O'Neill was in a rage, ready to fight, and when he heard Liu Mang's words, he was immediately happy.
And Kobe Bryant's side, the whole person was furious: that bastard actually said that he was O'Neal's little brother!
Kobe's idea of wanting to be the boss is like Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it!
Kobe, who was already tormented enough by the Hawks' defense, can't care so much anymore!
